Extraterrestrial Romance (Being Rewritten)

Mask of Emotion pt 2

Yuri and Astral arrived to the movie set as Yuri found a way in through the vents.

"Why is it that we come here?" Astral asked. 

"I have a hunch, let's just hope I'm wrong." Yuri simply said. 

She then found Nelson at the stage, and turned the lights on getting his attention. 

"I had my suspicions, but I did not want to believe it. Why are you doing this, Nelson?" Yuri asked. 

"Yuri, why are you here? I can not let you intervene in my work. I have a duty to fulfill to the Galaxy Queen." He said. 

Then Yuri spotted a number mark on one of his hands. 

"Astral!"

"Yes, he's possessed by one of the Numbers. We have to defeat him to break its hold." Astral nodded. 

"Nelson, Sparrow or whoever you are. I'm keeping that promise we made, so I challenge you to a duel!"

"Very well. I accept your challenge." Nelson grins. 

With that, they set up their equipment, duel disk and gazer, and the AR World jumps to life...

Augmented Reality Vision Link Established.

"Prepare yourself, 'Sparrow', I don't go down easy!"

We both call out that signature phrase:

"Let's Duel!"

"Since I challenged you, you take the first move." Yuri said.

"Gladly. I draw! First I summon, Beast-Warrior Puma!"

The monster brought out to play in Attack Mode, was noneother than that same anthropomorphic wildcat the ESPer Star Sparrow series based a character off of, Level Four with 1600 Attack Points. Astral recognized him right away too:

"I have seen him in action. Not only is he incredibly acrobatic, but he is a rather gifted swordsman."

"I end my turn by playing one card face-down!" Nelson finished.

"Now I'm up. Draw!" 

Looking at her cards, she was happy with what she got. 

"I think a change of scenery is needed now. I'll play the card I just drew, Royal Garden of Fragrence (Fanmade)!"

Then the scene changed to a vibrant spacious garden with various flowers and plants.

"Allow me to explain. With this card, all Plant, Fairy, and Earth Attribute monsters don't get destroyed by monster effects. And if you play monsters that are level 5 or bellow, you're out of luck because they can't attack. Plus, if you don't control any monsters when it's your turn, a player in question takes 800 points of damage." Yuri explained. 

"Then I'll have to make sure I have my allies out then." Nelson said.

"Maybe, but Puma won't be of much help. Now I play the Spell, Dance of the Flowers (fanmade)! If I have one or more plant monsters in my hand, I can summon a max of 3 of them right away. I summon Talyla, Princess of the Cherry Blossoms, Marina, Princess of the Sunflowers, and Chirubime, Princess of Autumn Leaves!" Yuri said as the elegant princesses appeared. Talyla and Marina in Attack Mode and Chirubime in defense mode.

"Three monsters? And they are all level eight!" Nelson said. 

"Impressive. They all have abilities that can push Nelson into a corner." Astral said.

"Yup. Plus, I'm sure you and Puma were taught to never raise a hand against a princess. That would be unheroic and barbarous. " Yuri smiled. "But that's not all. Talya's ability comes into affect. She gains 100 Attack Points for other plant monsters I control, bringing her power up by 200. And her allies can't be destroyed by card effects." Yuri said as Talyla now had 3000 attack points.
