Ulrich362: Well, the filler is over and now Timmy Tenjo and his new... well not sister but I guess... friend? Well he's probably going to introduce her to everyone right Bopdog?

bopdog111: Of course, and Astral does sense her.

Ulrich362: I wonder why. Well only one way to find out, enjoy the chapter.

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


"Okay are you ready?" Anna was with Timmy after he introduced the two, and went out to go get Penelo shopping for clothes which Anna was helping her for.

"I... I think so." Penelo admitted uncertainly as she still wasn't entirely comfortable with other people.

"Come on I'm sure you'll look beautiful." Anna smiled over.

Penelo just nodded nervously. "Well, ok... where do we start?"

"Well show us how you look behind the curtain." Anna said over to her.

Penelo nodded stepping out from behind the curtain so Anna and Timmy could see her. Penelo is wearing a red long sleeve shirt with a sky blue vest having dark blue buttons on with a pink skirt along with having red shoes on her feet.

"Oh yeah you look so cute." Anna said with a smile.

"Yeah whoa." Timmy admitted nodding in awe.

"You think?" she asked looking down at herself. "Well, if you say so."

"Look at yourself." Anna gestured towards the mirror.

She looked at the mirror only for her eyes to widen. "Is... is that me?"

"Yup." Anna walked patting her head, "That's you looking dazzling!"

Penelo flinched at that and quickly moved away when Anna touched her head. "Don't do that!"

"Huh?" Anna does looked confused seeing that.

"Don't touch me like that." Penelo frowned.

"Penelo, did something happen?" Timmy asked noticing her fearful expression.

She turned to him before shuddering slightly. "That's... I had a lot of bad experiences that's all."

"Oh... sorry." Anna apologized for causing Penelo to have some PTSD.

"It's alright... you didn't know." Penelo told her.

"And next... should actually be a purse." Timmy admitted over to her, "It'll be handy for you to carry things you need conveniently with a purse."

Penelo nodded. "Well, if you're sure that's a good idea."

"I've never had one myself." Anna admitted before asking her, "Do you?"

"No, never." Penelo admitted.

"Well let's see which one is right for you." Timmy smiled offering her a hand.

She hesitantly took it only to pull back. 'Not this time... I'm... this is enough for now."

"Are you sure?" Timmy asked her.

"Yes, I'm sure." she nodded before pausing noticing a group of boys and girls wearing a uniform. "Huh, who are they?"

They looked over seeing them before Timmy admitted, "They look like Yuma, and Tori's classmates..."

"Classmates, what's a classmate?" Penelo asked hearing that. "Does it mean you wear the same thing?"

"School uniforms yes." Anna nodded over before asking, "But why are they out?"

"I'm not sure." Timmy admitted.

"Well I think we better not disturbed them, and head off. Yuma, and the others probably want to meet Penelo."

Timmy nodded agreeing with Anna. "Yeah they look busy."

With that the three of them paid for Penelo's clothes and walked off. Walking together they headed where Yuma told them to meet, and Timmy messages them about it before he nodded, "Okay there waiting for us right now."

"Alright, let's go." Anna smiled.

They walked together eventually arriving at the park where they find everyone including Kite, Hart, the Arclight Siblings, and Shark himself talking together to which Timmy smiled, "Good to see you all again."

"It's been a while." Trey smiled seeing him.

"Well everyone me, Kite, Hart, and dad had taken someone in, and she's with me, and Anna now." Timmy smiled before showing Penelo, "This is Penelo."

She shuddered slightly seeing them but nodded.

"Where's Yuma?" Anna asked looking around.

"He said Astral sensed something so he'll be late. Could be another Number but there starting to become scarce after the World Duel Carnival..." Bronk shrugged admitting that over to them.

"Number?" Penelo asked hearing that.

"Yes powerful Xyz Monsters that can take control of anyone." Flip answered over to her.

Penelo frowned before nodding.

"Why are you telling her that?" Shark asked him with a glare.

"She-She asked." Flip explained over nervously with his glare.

"Well even if she does know she has people protecting her." Kite said over to them, "And pretty soon both Hart, and Tori will help us too since they want to duel."

"They want to duel for fun not for fighting the Numbers, and whoever the Barian was that took over dad." Timmy admitted over towards Kite.

"I know, but the Barians will make a move anytime, and we need to be at full strength." Kite pointed out over towards him which made Timmy nodded understanding that before he turned to Hart, "Speaking of which, Hart, how are you handling your Deck?"

"It's coming along slowly." Hart answered.

Penelo meanwhile briefly shuddered before shaking her head. "You duel?"

"Yes we do. Pretty much all of us." Timmy nodded over to her, "Do you too as well?"

"I've… dabbled." she admitted. "I'm pretty bad though."

"Do you have your Deck right now?" Anna asked her curiously.

"Huh... well yes." Penelo nodded. "I always keep it with me."

"Can I see please?" Anna asked her curiously. "That is if you don't mind."

"Um... well I'd rather not." Penelo admitted before pausing. "Well... maybe, I could try dueling your friend Yuma? He might be able to help me?"

"If he does get here. What's taking him so long?" Shark asked in annoyance over Yuma's absence.

"Well he said Astral sensed something so it's probably important." Tori admitted over to them.

"Astral?" Penelo asked. "Well... maybe while we wait can you tell me about him?"

"Well... it's a long story, and you might not believe it." Caswell admitted over.

"Well, alright." Penelo nodded dropping the subject.

After waiting they see the man of the hour running over, "S-Sorry! Sorry that I'm late! Astral wanted me to check something!"

The moment he arrived Penelo's eyes widened as she started shaking. Yuma seeing Penelo blinked over, "Uh... who's this?"

"Oh, this is Penelo." Timmy answered before explaining how he found her and she was staying with the Tenjo's for now.

"So she just crashed beside you?" Yuma asked surprised before he key glowed, and Astral appeared beside him.

"I do sense something from her." Astral admitted over to him.

Penelo's eyes widened as she stared straight at Astral before quickly looking away. "You're... Yuma right?"

The quick turn away did caught Astral's attention but Yuma nodded over, "That's me Yuma Tsukumo!"

"Well... do you think... we could have a duel?" Penelo asked uncertainly. "I'm not that good though."

"Oh sure, I've never turned down a challenge." Yuma grinned over to her.

Penelo nodded as they got ready only for her to pause glancing at Astral again before shaking her head. "Um... it's 4000 life points right?"

"DUEL/duel." Yuma called while Penelo mentioned uncertainly.

"Uh... when Morphing Jar is flipped... we send our hands to the graveyard to draw 5 new ones." Penelo said over to Yuma.

Yuma's eyes widened in shock hearing that.

"Morphing Jar, does that mean she plays a mill deck?" Caswell inquired. "Those can be dangerous for her opponents."

Both of them sent there hands, and draw 5 new cards as Gogogo Golem destroyed Morphing Jar.

"Now uh... Laundry Trap's effect kicks in." a Continuous Trap rose up from the graveyard.

"She said she wasn't good? She's doing pretty well to me." Quattro pointed out.

Astral however frowned. 'There is something unusual about her, but what?'

"Uh... when Radiant Vouirescence is summoned while you have a monster... I send a card from my hand to the graveyard to send two other copies to the graveyard." Penelo discard a card before sending the two monsters.

"Huh?" Yuma asked. "Timmy, any idea what she's up to?"

"Beats me." Timmy shrugged over, "She has two monsters that are the same level, and none are Tuners."

"An Xyz Summon." Kite noted.

Penelo raised her arm which the two glowed flying up into the Overlay Network.

"I Xyz Summon... Number 98: Antitopian!"

You can only use this effect of "Number 98: Antitopian" once per turn.


(ORU: 2)

"What the, a Number!" Yuma cried in shock.

"Penelo, where did you get that?" Timmy asked stunned.

"I've... always had it." Penelo admitted over a bit nervous.

"Well... what next?" Yuma asked seeing that.

Looking over Penelo added, "Well now... Antitopian attack Gogogo Golem!"

Antitopian charged forward at Gogogo Golem. Yuma braced himself as his monster shattered.

(Yuma: 3800/Hand: 3)

Antitopian dropped behind Penelo who looked at her hand, "Uh... Your turn."

Penelo's Hand: 3/Field: Number: 98: Antitopian (Attack Position/ORU: 2)

(ORU: 2)

"Now attack her Number with Rising Sun Slash!"

Penelo widen her eyes as Utopia charged in as she called, "I-I activate Antitopian's ability! Anti-Wing Shield!"

Antitopian takes an Overlay Unit before erecting a barrier. (ORU: 2 - 1) Utopia struck it only to get repelled before switching modes.

Number 39: Utopia: (Defense Position)

"It has the same ability as Utopia?" Yuma asked in shock.

"No, it's a similar ability but not exactly the same." Astral told him.

"I... end my turn." Yuma frowned.

"What was that?" Hart asked surprised from that.

"What that Number done was change Utopia's Battle Position during battle." Timmy explained over to Hart, "What that tactic does is that when a monster attacks if it's switched to defense position, the attack gets cancelled."

Quinton frowned slightly seeing the monster.

Penelo 3rd Turn:

"My turn... draw." Penelo drew looking at her hand, "I... I sacrifice Antitopian." Antitopian vanished as she places a set monster on the field.

"Sacrificing her Number?" Caswell questioned.

"I don't like this." Kite frowned.

"And... I use Antitopian's ability from the graveyard." The graveyard portal opened as tendrils shot grabbing Utopia pulling him.

"What the, Utopia!" Yuma cried in horror.

Antitopian rose up again in defense but uses magic transforming Utopia into an Overlay Unit before knelling down.

Number 98: Antitopian: (Defense Position/ORU: 1)

"If Antitopian is in the graveyard... I can summon him in defense while having a Utopia on the field be an Overlay Unit." Penelo explained over what just happened.

"A Number designed to counter Utopia?" Kite questioned.

"Just who is this girl?" Quattro questioned as Astral looked shocked.

"Yuma!" Astral cried.

"I know, but what am I supposed to do against that thing?" Yuma questioned.

"I... can't do anything else this turn. Your move." Penelo said over.

Penelo's Hand: 3/Field: Number: 98: Antitopian (Defense Position/ORU: 1), One Set Monster

Yuma 3rd Turn:

Yuma drew his card before his eyes widened.

"I activate the spell Gagagarevenge!" Yuma called as one of his set cards was revealed. "This brings back Gagaga Magician from my graveyard."


Gagagarevenge

ATK: 1000

You can target 1 "Gagaga Magician" you control; this card's Level becomes the Level of that monster. An Xyz Monster that was Summoned using only this card and other "Gagaga" monsters as Xyz Material gains this effect.
● When it is Xyz Summoned: You can target 1 Special Summoned monster your opponent controls; its ATK becomes 0.


"You know, I never noticed... but they remind me of Dark Magician, and Dark Magician Girl." Timmy admitted over.

"Huh, now that you mention it they do look a little like them." Tori admitted.

"Ok... any ideas which Number can get me out of this Astral?" Yuma asked him.

Astral gives some thought over what kind of Number they can use to try to break this formation. Suddenly he gets an idea, and looks over, "I think, I know Yuma. Use Chronomaly Machu Mech! It with Gagaga Girl's ability will deal a lot of damage!"

Yuma nodded at that. "I use Gagaga Magician's ability, I can change his level to anything from one to eight so I'll make him level five."

Gagaga Magician: (LV: 4 + 1 = 5)

"Then I'll use Gagaga Girl's special ability, her level becomes the same as Gagaga Magician."

Gagaga Girl: (LV: 3 + 2 = 5)

"With that done, I'll Overlay my Gagaga Magician and Gagaga Girl in order to Xyz Summon Number 33: Chronomaly Machu Mech in attack position!"

(ORU: 2)

"I think I remember that Number..." Timmy admitted recalling it was one of the numbers Astral showed him, and Anna back at the party about Trey.

"I use the effect of Gagaga Girl, since I only used Gagaga Monsters to summon Machu Mech your Antitopian's attack points go down to zero." Yuma revealed.

Antitopian at that powered down. (ATK: 2000 - 2000 = 0)

"Oh no!" Penelo panicked from that.

"That's not all, since Gagagarevenge went to the graveyard because Gagaga Magician was used as Xyz Material all my Xyz Monsters gain 300 attack points." Yuma continued.

Number 33: Chronomaly Machu Mech: (ATK: 2400 + 300 = 2700)

"Now, I'll use one of Machu Mech's Overlay Units. Since your monster's attack points are different from what they normally are you take damage equal to the difference and he gains those points."

Number 33: Chronomaly Machu Mech: (ORU: 2 - 1)

"Infinity Cannon!"

Machu Mech's hatches opened before firing cannon blasts each striking Penelo. (Penelo: 2000/Hand: 3)

Number 33: Chronomaly Machu Mech: (ATK: 2700 + 2000 = 4700)

"Alright, one more turn and I'll win the duel." Yuma mentioned. "I end my turn."

Penelo 4th Turn:

"My... my turn." Penelo drew looking, and widen her eyes seeing the name of the card.

Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force.

"Timmy, after this duel I think we should have a long talk with Penelo." Kite mentioned.

Timmy slowly nodded before Penelo looked over before she raised the card, "I activate a new spell capable of performing what no-one done before!" The spell glowed brightly at this.

"I activate...!" The glow faded revealing the card showing the Emperor's Key, "Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force!"


Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force

Normal Spell Card

Target the 1 Xyz Monster you control with the highest Rank (your choice, if tied); Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 monster with the same Type and Attribute as that monster you control but 2 Ranks higher, by using it as material. (This is treated as an Xyz Summon. Transfer its materials to the Summoned monster.) During your Draw Phase, if this card is in your GY, instead of conducting your normal draw: You can add this card from your GY to your hand. You cannot Special Summon during the turn you activate this effect, except by the effect of "Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force".


Everyone looked stunned seeing the spell.


Meanwhile in another part of the city...

A portal opened as a figure slowly emerged from it. The figured glowed before fading showing himself as a large tanned muscular boy with a mohawk while having on jeans as he sighed, "Well getting here was more trouble then I thought..."

He then noticed his reflection in a window and frowned. "And I have to use this human body. Well it doesn't matter, the important thing is getting the Numbers to destroy Astral World, and getting that kid back before she finds the original Number and his pals. I might as well get started."

"Who the hell are you?" Hearing that he looked seeing a gang of bikers glaring at him.

He only smirked seeing them. "Someone who has a task for you."

"A task... for us?" a man said white white hair with a smirk, "What makes you think we will listen to you?"

"You won't have a choice." the tanned man smirked holding up a card. "You'll be working for Barian World."

The man blinked as the card glowed which gets all the thugs looking like in a trance while the leader rose up, "Working for... Barian World..."

"That's right, how you're going to find someone named Yuma Tsukumo and get his Numbers for me." the tanned man smirked.

"Numbers... Yuma Tsukumo... claim Numbers..." the leader said over hypnotized.

"Good." the tanned man smirked.


Back at the duel...

"What kind of card is that?" Hart asked stunned. "I've never heard of anything like that."

"It allows me to take Antitopian, and evolve it by 2 ranks!" Penelo said as Antitopian flew up into the Overlay Network.

"Oh man, this is really bad." Yuma frowned.

"Come on! Shining Number 98: Antitopian Hope!"

At that what rose was a blackened warrior with several blades, and golden armor while having a crystal at the chest readying.

You can only activate each effect of "Number S98: Antitopian Hope" per turn.


(ORU: 2)

"Shining Number?" Yuma asked.

"I've... never heard of anything like that." Astral admitted.

"During my Battle, Antitopian Hope's ability changes all monsters on the field to different battle position!" Penelo called as light energy shined onto itself, and Machu Mech.

Number S98: Antitopian Hope: (Attack Position)

Number 33: Chronomaly Machu Mech: (Defense Position)

'Not good, at least I still have Half Unbreak to protect my monster.' Yuma thought.

Penelo then called, "Now Antitopian Hope attack Chronomaly Machu Mech!"

Antitopian Hope charged forward towards Yuma's Number intending to destroy it.

"I play my facedown card!" Yuma cried only for nothing to happen. "Huh, hey what's going on?"

"When Antitopian Hope attacks when it changes Battle Position, you can't use spells or traps to stop him." Penelo explained over.

Yuma's eyes widened as his Number shattered leaving him defenseless.

"And next is his other ability! As he destroyed your monster he gains 1000 attack points, and attack again!"

Antitopian Hope takes a unit getting stronger. "Victory March!"

Antitopian Hope: (ATK: 2800 + 1000 = 3800/ORU: 2 - 1)

"Wait, but I only have 3800 life points!" Yuma panicked.

"Go Antitopian hope, attack!" Antitopian charges forward at Yuma slashing down.

Yuma cried out as his life points dropped to zero.

Yuma: 0000

Hand: 2

Penelo wins!


"That... that was amazing." Timmy whispered in awe.

"Yeah, but where did she get a Number... and that spell?" Anna asked in confusion.

Penelo turned over towards Antitopian before smiling, "Only thing I have... from my parents..." The Number vanished as she said that.

"Alright, so who are you really?" Shark questioned.

She looked over seeing they walking over which makes her nervous before Timmy placed a soft hand on her shoulder, "Penelo... can you please tell us who you are?"

Shivering she shook her head.

"It's okay. We're not mad at you." Timmy assures her with a smile, "Here. I'll prove it." He gently pulls her for a hug.

She flinched before hesitantly hugging him back. "I'm sorry... I just can't."

"Then... can you at least tell us where you got the Number?" Timmy asked her.

"... I've always had them, from the moment I was born." Penelo answered.

"Your parents left them? Do you know who they are?" Tori asked her.

"My mother abandoned me, and I've never met my father." Penelo answered looking down. "Apparently she wanted to protect me from..."

Pausing she froze and shook her head.

"No, I don't."

Tori frowned getting thought before having an idea, and smiled, "I think I know what will make you more comfortable."

Tori smiled over, "Girls Night. Me, you, her, and my friends Jen, and Summer."

"A... girls night?" Penelo asked hearing that. "What's that?"

"A night getting together with just us girls." Tori smiled over to her.

Penelo looked uncertain before hesitantly nodding. "Oh... ok."

"Come on." Tori offered her a hand.

Penelo looked before slowly taking it.


Ulrich362: A new Number, new type of spell, and a completely new kind of Number... just what kind of girl is Penelo really?

bopdog111: That'll be a question for a later date.

Ulrich362: True, first things first she's going to get some girl time... though it sounds like it might not be as peaceful as Tori's hoping.

bopdog111: Judging from that guy with the biker gang.

Ulrich362: True, though hopefully it all works out. See you in the next chapter.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!
