It was a few hours after Penelo's duel with Yuma and she had gone to spend time with Tori, Cathy, Jen and Summer while Timmy was spending time with Anna and her family.

Timmy was busy sitting with Anna. After the strong impression he had left for Mrs. Kozuki, and the World Duel Carnival, Anna's family welcomed him in while telling him to took good care of Anna which he promises. Also that they were astonished to learn that his parents killed his Grandmother for her wealth despite already being filthy stinkin' rich, and promises he won't go through it again. From that Mrs. Kozuki had sold her jewelry, and expensive stuff which made some good money. This character development stunned her family but Timmy does look happy to see she changed from hearing his story.

So with that, and Timmy's help by giving some wealth towards the Kozukis (in one big paycheck) they all are no longer struggling to get by without money being wasted on shopping. Allen himself gave a stern big talk to Timmy like a worried caring brother he was, and probably intimidated the young man for probably an hour but later he treated Timmy like an old friend with a grin. So needless to say thanks to him the Kozukis are living better with Anna coming back to live with them much to there happiness.

But they also moved to a bigger, better house for them to spend there lives together equipped with a garage for Anna's rocket, and whatever Allen is working on which Timmy sees are roller skates that seemed to be different then the usual pair he's familiar with. So right now Timmy, and Anna were sitting together for some affection which Timmy was happy to give out.

"I really do love you, you know? My Train Queen." Timmy was also trying to flirt Anna despite it not being one of his strong skills.

She rolled her eyes but chuckled hugging him. "I love you too, but don't try the cutesy nicknames, you're not good at it. Just keep being your amazing self alright?"

Timmy chuckled from that hugging close to her. "Hey I gotta try right? Gotta try getting bolder since your trying to help me get over my personality I gotten from those people." He does remember how nervous, and skittish he was before when he met Anna, and slowly from spending time with her he starts to let it go, and ultimately after letting free all of his feelings, and burdens to both Dextra, and Vetr-Byron along with being adopted by Dr. Faker, he fully embraced his former personality which Anna feels that he is perhaps too good for her but is proud to be his girlfriend.

"I suppose." she teased before smiling and kissing his forehead. "Timmy?"

Timmy looked over to her. She just smiled. "I love you."

Timmy softly chuckled from this. "I love you two Anna. I think today will be a good day. Should I interest you in a shopping spree?" Lately he had been using his money to take Anna out on shopping treats that lots of girls done but Anna barely does it, and he wants her to be a happy girl which he spoils her using shopping trips as an excuse to treat her like a queen which although she appreciates finds it too much.

"I'm ok." Anna mentioned. "You can go though."

"Anna, Timmy come down here!" they hear Allen's voice coming from downstairs.

Confused they both walked down.

"What is it Allen?" Anna asked.

Allen held up a dress fit for her size that's red. "Who can tell me why this was here for you in mail?"

Quickly realizing she turned over to her boyfriend who was looking away whistling sheepishly.

"Timmy?" she asked him. "What did you do?"

"I... got that for you." Timmy admitted over.

Anna sighed before gently shaking her head as she smiled. "You need to stop spoiling me. It's sweet but you've doing a little too much."

"Yeah. You told over to mom that her spending habits are much, and you are doing it yourself." Allen agreed over. "You love sis that much is certain but you need to give her some space. Jewelery doesn't really work on her anyway." Anna looked over with a look which he sweatdropped. "Uh, I don't mean THAT! Your good yourself without all the bling is what I mean."

"Right..." she nodded before pausing. "Why don't you go and see Yuma Timmy?"

He looked over to her hearing that.

"I can't explain it but... I have a feeling you should go and see him." Anna mentioned kissing his forehead again. "Plus, there's someone I wanted to talk to myself. See you later?"

Timmy smiled over before nodding. "Okay Anna. I'll be back later tonight."

"Sounds perfect." she smiled grabbing her rocket and jumping on before blasting off into the sky.

Timmy before heading out looked over towards Allen. "Who do you think she wants to talk too?"

"Girl stuff probably." he shrugged.

Timmy shrugged before looking at his watch. "Well I'll be off to Yuma's place, Allen. See you soon."

"See you." Allen smiled.

With that Timmy walks off for the Tsukumo Residence but along the way starts to get a bad feeling not sure what the feeling is about. He shrugged probably thinking it's only nerves as he continues his walk not unaware of the high stakes battle that is gonna happen sometime later today.


Meanwhile with Anna...

She flew around before noticing someone sitting in a park as she landed nearby and walked over. "Hi, Dextra?"

Dextra who was there waiting noticed her, and smiled over. "Good to see you again Anna."

"Same, sorry about asking you to come out all of a sudden but... from one girl to another Timmy's starting to get a bit excessive with his gifts. Is Kite doing the same thing?" Anna asked her.

"Depends on what you mean by 'excessive'." Dextra probably has a good idea over but wants to hear how much Timmy is spoiling her.

"Just today a very beautiful looking red dress, yesterday was a fancy dinner for two, the day before was a necklace with rubies and small diamonds..." Anna started before sighing. "Too much, he's using all his money on me."

"Well can you blame him? Before he met you, he never had anyone to use his money on." Dextra shrugged over. "His parents forced him to keep it, and try to turn him to themselves while he gives what he has earned to charity when we was living with his Grandmother. He's too generous, and doesn't really like money that much so he's being productive with it."

"Then help more than just me… it's too much, buy Hart something… or Yuma!" Anna groaned as she put her head in her hands. "Not just me… it's too much Dextra."

"Have you tried talking with him about it?" Dextra moved over patting a space beside her for her to sit.

Anna sighed sitting down.


Meanwhile...

"Say what?"

Yuma was talking with his friends when Astral suddenly appeared, and informed him that a envoy from Barian World has arrived, and is on the move for them.

"Barian… like the one who manipulated Dr. Faker?" Flip asked him since Yuma had told them about what happened.

"Yeah that's it! Astral is saying someone from there is here!"

"Probably to try getting the Numbers after Timmy foiled that guy's attempts. In the end he's in grave danger!" Caswell realized nervously over getting worried over the young man.

"We should do something!" Cathy decided to do over towards them.

"But what can we do?" Bronk asked them worried to where even if his friend is in danger, they don't really have the kind of power needed to battle Barian World.

"I do know... I was the one who stopped Byron when he became Vetrix." Yuma explained over towards them. "I'll face off against whoever Barian sent!"

"Is that a fact?" Questioned a male voice.

Hearing that they all quickly turned over. There was a white-haired man smirking. He is also baring a familiar emblem on his forehead over towards them. Quickly realizing the emblem Yuma stood up. "So your who Barian sent!?"

"It would seem so." Astral frowned. "Be cautious Yuma."

"Already ahead of ya!" Yuma grinned over towards him before readying his Duel Disk. "Okay then dude, ya ready to duel!?"

"Of course, and soon I'll claim your Numbers for Barian World!" the man called.

From there they ready themselves while there power is being sensed at some places.


Meanwhile at the Hospital...

Shark, and Quattro two hated rivals not stand civilly in the same room where Shark's sister, Rio who is nearly almost fully recovered lays in bed with a bandage over her eyes with her vitals stable enough to clear she'll survive. The two after Timmy rescued Astral World, and them from whatever the Barian was planning, had managed to get the two to see that each other is not to blame; Quattro for being manipulated by Vetrix on his thoughts for revenge from the Barians, and Shark in his rage for Quattro harming his sister, and ruining his chances to help her back then cause of being orchestrated by the Barians now are starting to make amends, and bury the hatchet for there actions.

But what they didn't expect is that Rio's vitals are started to beep faster as she started moving almost like she's panicking.

"Huh, oh man." Quattro frowned as he quickly stood up. "I'll get a doctor."

"Rio!" More focused over this change of events Shark quickly went over to try keeping her down. "Rio! What's wrong!?"

"There here... there here!" Rio's tone also sound like she's panicking.

"What do you mean, who's here?" Shark asked her as Quattro had run out to find the doctor.

"Barian... Barian is here!" In her desperate panicking state she tried to explain who was here which is Barian World.

Shark's eyes widened in shock. "Barian... Yuma..."

Noticing something he looks over seeing red storm clouds are gathering around the city mostly focused over one area. If he remembers right that is where Yuma's house is located at. Shark's eyes widened at that. "Damn it, be careful Yuma... things are about to get bad."


Timmy himself while walking stopped noticing the storm. "Huh... where are they coming from?"

"It's them Timmy."

Looked over he sees Number Archive is there. "Who's here?"

"The Barians!"

"Barians?" Timmy asked shocked before looking back. "I knew I had a bad feeling!" With that he quickly started running to catch up.


Meanwhile...

"Alright Duel Disk go! Duel Gazer let's roll!" Yuma readies himself in this match while the man, Fender, readies also with a smirk ready to begin the match.

"DUEL!"


(Dueling Theme: The Resistance by Skillet)

Yuma: 4000

Hand: 5

Field: Nothing

Fender: 4000

Hand: 5

Field: Nothing

Let the duel commence!


"Alright who's first?" Yuma challenged over at Fender.

"Be careful Yuma." Bronk whispered.

Fender 1st Turn:

"I'll be taking the first move." Fender smirked over. "And I'll start with summoning this! My Blast Asmodian!"

What rose was a small red chubby demon holding two small balls of steel having fire breathed out.

"And now I Overlay these two together! With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!"

The two glowed flying up into the Overlay Network before exploding over.

"I Xyz Summon! Mechquipped Angineer!" What materialized over was a blue mechanical monster shaped as a ship readying itself.

(ORU: 2)

"Hold on, that's not a Number." Bronk pointed out.

Astral's eyes narrowed. "Barians can't act using there abilities including numbers so they must have underlings like this human to try getting them themselves. Which means Yuma he's being manipulated by the Barians."

"So now the way to get him to stop is to beat him."

With that decided Yuma readies a strategy as Fender smirked over. "Your move shrimp."

Fender's Hand: 3/Field: Mechquipped Angineer (Attack Position/ORU: 2)

Yuma 1st Turn:

"Okay, my turn! Draw!" Yuma drew looking at his hand.

"Hey guys!" the ground behind Yuma turned over Timmy just arrived. "What's going on!?"

"This guy is working for the Barians." Flip explained nervously. "He just played that thing."

"Alright got an idea!" Yuma knew a strategy handy. Sometime after Timmy's duel with Kite, they had trained a bit, and Yuma figured some new strategies, and combos to try in case Barian attacks like now so he's ready to test his new skills. "Alright to start off, I summon Dodododwarf Gogogoglove!"

A horned helmet warrior rose up readying itself on the field baring metal mechanical gloves while having a lion tarp on him.

You can only use each effect of "Dodododwarf Gogogoglove" once per turn.


"Once every turn, if he's in play, I can summon a Zubaba or a Gagaga!" the monster meditated as a portal opened in front of him. "Come on out Gagaga Mancer!"

What rose was a man wielding a staff that has a cross on top wearing a robe.

"Now that I have them, I can build the Overlay Network with them both!" The two glowed flying up into the Overlay Network.

Fender smirked.

"Carry hope on white wings! Xyz Summon! Come forth, Number 39! Messenger of Light! Utopia!"

From the light emerged Utopia ready to battle ahead.

2 Level 4 monsters
Cannot be destroyed by battle, except with a "Number" monster. When a monster declares an attack: You can detach 1 material from this card; negate the attack. If this card is targeted for an attack, while it has no material: Destroy this card.


(ORU: 2)

"Utopia, we're saved!" Caswell cheered hugging Flip.

Timmy stared over having some suspicions it isn't gonna be easy. Fender has a monster that's weaker in attack position, and no set cards but has a smirk like he expected that. He isn't quite sure when he is up too but can only watch.

"Alright Utopia!" Yuma's call gets Timmy to look over. "Attack Mechquipped Angineer with Rising Sun Slash!" Arming itself with it's sword Utopia jumped up intending to hack away at the Xyz monster.

However Fender revealed why he wasn't worried with a single move. "I activate Mechquipped Angineer's special ability! It switches itself to Defense Position to protect itself from destruction!" Angineer takes a unit before changing mode.

Mechquipped Angineer: (Defense Position/ORU: 2 - 1)

The attack landed but it didn't deal any damage either too Fender or Angineer.

"Not good." Bronk frowned.

Yuma frowned himself setting two cards. "Alright I end my turn!" Not a bad first turn but it could've been better.

Yuma's Hand: 2/Field: Number 39: Utopia (Attack Position/ORU: 2), Two Set Cards


Yuma: 4000

Hand: 2

Field: Number 39: Utopia (Attack Position/ORU: 2), Two Set Cards

Fender: 4000

Hand: 3

Field: Mechquipped Angineer (Defense Position/ORU: 1)


Fender 2nd Turn:

"My turn now!" Focused more that Utopia is here his opponent drew, and smirked. "Ah just what I wanted! The Spell, Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force!"

To the shock of everyone present the same spell the Barian used on Timmy to evolve Heart-eartH Dragon is being used against them.


Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force

Normal Spell Card

Target 1 face-up Xyz Monster you control; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Number C" or "CXyz" monster with the same Type as that monster you control but 1 Rank higher, by using it as the Xyz Material. (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon. Xyz Materials attached to it also become Xyz Materials on the Summoned monster.) Then, if possible, detach 1 Xyz Material from a monster your opponent controls and attach it to the Summoned monster as an Xyz Material.


Timmy's eyes widened hearing that.

"With this, I can evolve Angineer into a Chaos monster!" Angineer glowed a bright pink flying into the Overlay Network. "Go Chaos Xyz Evolution!" A large gate appeared before the seal is broken emerging a monster. "Rise up CXyz Mechquipped Djinn Angeneral!"

What lowered was a blue purple like battle ship with two wings, and glowing pink lines around it's body.


(Attack Position)

CXyz Mechquipped Djinn Angeneral

DARK

Rank 5

Fairy/Effect/Xyz

ATK: 2600

DEF: 1600

When this card is Xyz Summoned: You can target 1 Defense Position monster on the field; change that target to face-up Attack Position. If this card has "Mechquipped Angineer" as an Xyz Material, it gains this effect.
● When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; inflict 1000 damage to your opponent.


(ORU: 2)

"It's stronger than Utopia!" Caswell cried in horror.

"It's fine, Yuma had Utopia's ability." Bronk pointed out.

"You mean would've." Fender smirked over. "Barian's Force allows Angeneral to take control of one of your monster's Overlay Units!"

One of Utopia's Overlay Units were snatched over by Angeneral.

Number 39: Utopia: (ORU: 2 - 1)

CXyz Mechquipped Djinn Angeneral: (ORU: 2 - 3)

Timmy frowned seeing that. "Yuma..."

"Then I activate the spell Lightning Vortex!" Fender added using a spell.


Lightning Vortex

Normal Spell Card

Discard 1 card; destroy all face-up monsters your opponent controls.


"By sending 1 card in my hand to the graveyard every monster on your field is destroyed!" Lightning struck Utopia destroying it which Yuma widen his eyes seeing this. "And now Angeneral attack now!"

Angeneral charged turrets at Yuma who quickly called. "I play my face-down! Half Unbreak!"


Half Unbreak

Normal Trap Card

Target 1 monster on the field; this turn, that monster cannot be destroyed by battle, also any battle damage you take from attacks involving that monster is halved.


"This card prevents Angeneral from being destroyed this turn!"

CXyz Mechquipped Djinn Anegeneral: (Cannot be destroyed by battle)

Confused Fender looks up towards his protected monster. "Why would he use a trap like that on my monster instead of his own...?"

"That was a smart move Yuma, he might not have any monsters but Half Unbreak still cuts the damage in half." Caswell pointed out.

Angeneral fired blasts from the turrets as a barrier defended Yuma but was still pushed by the force a bit. (Yuma: 2700/Hand: 2)

"Clever move but not clever enough! Angeneral's effect activates!" Fender raised his arm. "At anytime it deals damage from battle it deals you an additional 1000 points!" Angeneral takes an Overlay Unit into it's turrets. (ORU: 3 - 2) Before aiming, and fired blasting Yuma knocking him back with a cry. (Yuma: 1700/Hand: 2)

"Yuma!" Timmy cried seeing that.

"I'm fine!" Quickly getting up with a flip he grabbed a card. "Since I just taken damage, I can use Damage Mage's effect in my hand! I summon her, and regain life points equal to the damage you just dealt!"

Placing down a card a blue robed woman with angel wings rose up before granting light to Yuma. (Yuma: 2700/Hand: 1)


(Attack Position)

Damage Mage

DARK

Level 3

Spellcaster/Effect

ATK: 600

DEF: 1200

When you take damage from a card effect: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, gain Life Points equal to the damage you took.


Fender growled seeing this to where Yuma is counterattacking his attempts. Yuma isn't over yet. "Next, I activate the trap card, Opposing Mirrors of the Underworld!"

A trap showing two mirrors with identical demons emerging with different weapons rose.


Opposing Mirrors of the Underworld

Normal Trap Card

When you take damage from an opponent's attack or card effect: Apply this effect based on the type of damage.
● Battle: Special Summon 1 monster from your GY with ATK less than or equal to the damage you took, and if you do, end the Battle Phase after the Damage Step.
● Effect: Inflict twice that much damage to your opponent.
You can only activate 1 "Opposing Mirrors of the Underworld" per turn.


"Since I took damage, I can dealt twice the amount you just dealt!"

Angeneral turned around firing blasts at Fender who cried out. (Fender: 2000/Hand: 3) So not only had Yuma prevented a ton of damage, counter Angeneral's effect, he also dealt it back towards Fender only twice as strong.

Timmy's eyes widened before he frowned slightly. 'That would beat Anna in one hit.'

"You brat...!" Fender growled placing down a card. 'Fine though you get that one but Magic Cylinder will finish you off!'

Fender's Hand: 2/Field: CXyz Mechquipped Djinn Angeneral (Attack Position/ORU: 2), One Set Card

Yuma 2nd Turn:

"Okay I draw!" Yuma drew looking over, and activates the spell he drew, "Alright I use Xyz Revenge!" A spell that shows of a three headed dragon emerging from the graveyard portal readying to attack.


Xyz Revenge

Normal Spell Card

If your opponent controls a face-up Xyz Monster that has Xyz Material: Target 1 Xyz monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it, then detach 1 Xyz Material from a monster your opponent controls and attach it to that monster as an Xyz Material. You can only activate 1 "Xyz Revenge" per turn.


"So now, Utopia comes back from the graveyard, and takes back the Overlay Unit you stole!" Utopia emerged back as the Overlay Unit, Angeneral took from Barian's Force was returned to Utopia.

Number 39: Utopia: (ORU: 0 - 1)

CXyz Mechquipped Djinn Angeneral: (ORU: 2 - 1)

Well as this is an era where Xyz Summoning is all the rage, Xyz Revenge is probably one of the most strongest cards to use to your advantage even against foes like them.

"Yuma, be cautious there's no telling what he has planned." Astral warned him.

"I know. Besides, I got the game changer." Yuma takes the last card in his hand. "It's the spell, Utopia Buster!"


Utopia Buster

Normal Spell Card

If you control a "Utopia" monster: Destroy the 1 face-up monster your opponent controls that has the lowest ATK (your choice, if tied), and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monster's ATK on the field.


Utopia arms itself with a rocket launcher similar to the one shown on the card's artwork. "Since I have Utopia in play I pick a monster on your field with the least attack points!"

"His only monster is that Xyz Monster." Bronk realized.

"And it destroys it, and deals you damage equal to it's attack points!"

"Say what!?" Fender asked shocked.

"Alright Utopia let him have it!" Utopia fired the rocket launcher blasting Angeneral obliterating it in a big explosion while Fender yelled out as the Barian Emblem shattered from his head, and the skies cleared.


Yuma: 2700

Hand: 0

Field: Number 39: Utopia (Attack Position/ORU: 1), Damage Mage (Attack Position)

Fender: 0000

Hand: 2

Field: One Set Card

Yuma wins!


"Wow, that was amazing." Timmy smiled.

Yuma winked over towards him. "I got you, Shark, and Kite to thank for this Tim!"

"I honestly expected more..." Astral admitted over feeling a bit disappointed, and surprised from how weak Fender actually was expecting him to be stronger.

"I have a bad feeling... this is just the beginning." Bronk frowned.

They were being watched by something as it viewed over toward the mohawk man seeing this. Safe to say he was very disappointed his first person to grant Barian World's power with was this pathetic.


Ulrich362: Another invasion has started, but fortunately Yuma managed to win the first battle.

bopdog111: Sorry if you guys were thinking more from Fender but he's honestly boring.

Ulrich362: True, a few of the Barian brainwashed duelists are... but we might have a few surprises in store to make things more interesting.

bopdog111: Well next chapter we meet a new duelist, and then a celebrity duelist will come to where it will be here Tori's training to be put to the test.

Ulrich362: Sounds fun, see you in the next chapter.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!
