S1 Ep2

"Hey can you talk? Say something already!" "Astral." Lulu walks slowly towards Yuma and Astral. "Huh? What's an Astral?" "My name if I recall." Astral says and then his eyes lock with Lulu's. "If you recall? You can't remember who you are?" Lulu says softly ad Astral shakes his head then Tori's image pops up in front of Yuma and Lulu both. "Yuma, Lulu what's going on? Who are you talking to?" "What do you mean 'who?' This guy right here." 

"Where?" Tori asks and Lulu shakes her head. "He's right here!" Lulu says pointing to him. "Look." "He's lost it." Shay says to himself.  "What's with you guys? Just open your eyes. I mean, he's kinda hard to miss. Big tall glowing guy? Floating in mid air. Maybe only me and Lulu can see him?" Yuma says and Lulu looks to Astral.

 "Or maybe I actually have lost it... Wait no Lulu see's him too." "What have you lost? Perhaps we can find it together." "Huh? "Hold on I know! You've come here to help me. Yeah, that's it. You've been watching over me ever since I first started dueling. Ever since my dad left me his deck. And when you saw that I was dueling Shark one of the best duelists around you decided to let your presence finally be known. You are none other than my guardian angel." 

"His what?" Shay, Tori, and Yuto all say at the same time. "I am no such thing." This makes Lulu laugh lightly. "Or am I?" "You don't know what you are?" "Not only do I not recall who I am but I don't recall much of anything. Only that I arrived here with a great purpose. Which now escapes me."

"It escapes you?" Yuma says in front of Astral. "Then just how great could it have been? You're annoying! Alright, enough of this. Maybe if I ignore him he'll go away." "Go where?" "I don't care where!" "Yuma don't be rude to him." Lulu says softly and Yuma looks to her, he sticks his tongue out at her. "Ah the mighty Number 17, Leviathan Dragon. With this XYZ monster on the field,  there's no stopping me." 

Then a glowing Number 17 appears on Shark's hand. "And that you can count on, Yuma." He then laughs. "Your deck will soon be mine." Shark says as he draws a card now he puts a card facedown. "But all in good time. I end my turn with a facedown." "He is angry. "Yeah but his dragon is about to make him feel happier by ending this duel." "Duel?" Astral asks looking towards Yuma. "That word is familiar." 

"Huh? What do you know about dueling?" "Plenty. Yes that's it... I duel." "And I tap dance now quiet." "I can duel. Observe! Draw!" "Hold on- that's my line! My turn, I draw!" "First I will summon Gogogo Golem in Defense mode!" Astral says pointing to the field.

"Quit interrupting already. I summon Gogogo Golem in attack mode." "1800 attack points? That's not enough to defeat his dragon." "Thank you captain obvious. Next from my hand, I play the spell Blustering Wind. And it's going to blow your mind now one of my monsters in attack mode gains 1000 attack points until next turn!" Now Gogogo Golem's attack points now go up to 2800. 

"Ah yeah! Take him down!" Tori says as she jumps up into the air happily. "Now go Gogogo Golem. Attack Leviathan Dragon." Now Shark's lifepoints drop to 3,700. "All right. Leviathan Dragon is toast. And Shark's life points just took a dive. Yeah!" "Yuma... Turn around." Lulu says and when Yuma turns around from the smoke he can see Leviathan Dragon emerge. 

"Oh no." Leviathan Dragon roars fiercely. "But Yuma just destroyed that thing. No fair, how's it still on the field?" Tori grabs Shay by the collar and starts to shake him but stops when he gives her the death glare. "If their both in attack mode then doesn't the one with the higher attack points win?" "What gives?" Yuma asks Shark. "I took down your monster fair and square." "Afraid not. A Number monster can only be beat by another Number monster."

"For real? But.... I don't have any Number monsters. Aw, now what am I going to do? I mean if I can't beat Shark's monster, then how am I supposed to beat Shark?" "How indeed?" Astral says to himself. 

"And you had better start figuring that out because Shark looks ready to attack. Shark is gearing up to attack. Better do something or you are through." "And what makes you a dueling expert all of a sudden?" "Observation #1: This particular human's dueling skills are less then skillful." "That's not true!"

 Yuma says growling at Astral. "Well, actually... Kinda is." "That is the first correct thing you said." "Well, no hard feelings then. First what? Who do you think you are?" "It's my turn now is't it?" Shark asks Yuma and the boy worriedly looks to him. " I draw. I summon Drill Barnacle!" "300 attack points, you are lucky." "

What do you mean I'm lucky?" "I'm activating my dragon's ability, so by using an Overlay Unit I can power up Leviathan dragon's strength." Now Leviathan dragon's attack points go up to 3000. "3000 points now? Whoa." "Since Shark's Leviathan had one last Overlay Unit remaining it was obvious what he would do. Just as it's obvious what he will do now." 

"It's time, Leviathan dragon. Attack Gogogo Golem!" The attack went straight through Gogogo Golem and hit a building in the Augmented Reality system. "Just 800 points left." "I'm not finished yet, Yuma. Drill Barnacle. Dig in." 

The drill like monster then attacks Yuma and his lifepoints go down to 500. "Yuma." Tori says softly worried about him. "For your information, when in Defense mode, that Golem has an effect that prevents it from being destroyed in battle. Now do you understand why I suggested you bring him out in defense mode? You aren't really good at this." "Be quiet!" "Oh my what's this.. My life force seems to be draining away." "Your what? You know what never mind." Lulu goes over to where Astral is floating and wraps her arms around what would be his waist when she did her bracelet started to glow faintly and Astral smiled as Lulu leaned in against his chest. 

Astrals eyes are closed but they open suddenly. "Numbers." "Huh?" Yuma and Lulu both say. "They're the key the key to unlocking my sealed memory. You see, Numbers are special cards, even among XYZ monsters. 

They cannot be defeated like regular cards and in a duel where Number cards are used the winner absorbs the losers Number card." Astral says and Yuma looks to him confused. "Where you going with this?" "I don't know for sure. All I do know is you must win. Otherwise, I will meet a very bad end." 

"Yuma you have to save him." Lulu says and Yuma nods. "While you think things over I activate Drill Barnacles effect. Because it was able to deal damage to you, it now gains 1000 attack points. But just wait, Yuma, there's more. Drill Barnacles a monster that can attack you directly. Which means on the next turn, if that attack connects you're through! Speaking of, how about you zip it and duel." "You stay outta this." Yuma says to Shark looking towards Astral.

"Stay outta what exactly?" "My talk with my invisible friend!" When Yuma says that Lulu cringes at his words. "You know what's gonna be invisible, as in vanished? Your life points." "Nope still there." Yuma says worriedly looking at his lifepoints. 

"But not for long, unless you start listening to me Yuma! Not later. Now." "Can I at least get a please?" "Stop making dumb mistakes please. " "That's not what I meant! Just go away!" "On your next draw, we need a card that allows you to summon more then once this turn." "A card that lets me do what?" Yuma asks Astral then looks to Yuma. "Special summon a monster." "Fine I'll try! Alright for the sake of mine's and Lulu's decks! Here goes! I draw!"
