My Maiden's Number:
Disclaimers: Let's be boring, I don't own Zexal.
Chapter 3: Attack of Love
"DUEL!"
Yuma: 8000
Kotori: 8000
Turn 1, Kotori:
"Ladies first Yuma!"
As she drew her cards, she looked through her hand with some confidence.
"Ok, I set one monster in defense mode!"
A card in facedown defense position was materialized in front of Kotori.
"And I shall play one card facedown to end my turn."
Hand: 4
Turn 2, Yuma:
"Let's do this! I draw!"
Yuma then smiled at the card he drew.
"Alright! I summon Zubaba Knight!"
Zubaba Knight, Level 3:
ATK: 1600
DEF: 900
If this card attacks a face-up Defense Position monster: Destroy that monster at the start of the Damage Step (without damage calculation).
"And now, I attack with Zubaba Knight!"
The gold armored knight then grabbed one of its back handled blades in the air.
"Zubaba Sword!"
The blade went through the facedown card, revealing its identity as Shining Angel.
"Good for you Yuma, since you destroyed him, I get to Special Summon!"
"Oh noez! That's right!"
"So, I special this! Maiden in Love!"
"Maiden in what?"
In a few seconds, the place somehow had turned into a flowery field, showing a girl with brown hair, a few bows in her hair, and an orange/peach dress. When she came onto the monster card zone, the flower disappeared, showing a bright smile.
Maiden in Love, Level 2:
ATK: 400
DEF: 300
While this card is in face-up Attack Position, it cannot be destroyed by battle. Put a Maiden Counter on a monster that attacks this card.
Astral was the one who had a look of confusion, that was much greater than Yuma's.
"Strange, why would she summon such a low level monster? And on top of that, I don't have any ideas of what that card does."
Kotori then winked in almost a flirtatious way, along with saying it in a voice that was in that tone.
"Well, isn't it a cutie Yuma? ~"
Yuma suddenly blushed for a quick second, but suppressed his feelings to snap his head into reality and back into the duel.
"I end my turn!"
Hand: 5
Turn 3, Kotori:
"I draw! And I shall place another card in facedown position!"
Another card materialized next to Maiden in Love in the same facedown position it was called for, and Kotori then smirked.
"Now my Facedown is activated! So here comes Box of Chocolates!"
Box of Chocolates, Quick Play Spell:
Activate only while you control a face-up "Maiden in Love" and one set monster card. Place one "Maiden Counter" on a Level 4 or below face-up monster on your opponent's side of the field.
"So, I shall place a Maiden Counter on your Zubaba Knight! ~"
A box of chocolates then appeared in front of Zubaba Knight, which in its natural reaction ate one.
"Uh…"
Astral was also confused and a bit skeptical at the sight.
"What is this? I have no idea had what just occurred."
After the golden knioght ate the chocolate, a heart and blush were on Zubaba Knight.
"What was that?"
Zubaba Knight: 1 MC(Maiden Counter)
"Now, I'm not done Yuma! I play the Equip Spell, Cupid's Kiss!"
Cupid Kiss, Equip Spell:
If the equipped monster attacks a monster with a Maiden Counter on it and the controller of the equipped monster takes Battle Damage, take control of the monster that inflicts Battle Damage to a player's Life Points at the end of the Damage Step.
"Next, I attack with Maiden in Love!"
Yuma and Astral were absolutely stunned.
"But why?"
"Zubaba Knight clearly has superior strength!"
As the Maiden leaped, Zubaba Knight hit her, but it didn't get destroyed, however, waves shot out blowing against Kotori.
"AGH!"
"KOTORI!"
Kotori: 8000 – 1200 = 6800
"And, since I took damage, the effect of my Cupid Kiss activates!"
Soon, everything was surrounded by flowers, and pink lights as the next part unfolded.
"Astral, what's happening?"
"I don't know, but this seems like a projection of the Augmented Reality, or..."
"Or what?"
"This is the duel monster spirit world!"
"What?"
Zubaba Knight was seen running towards the Maiden in Love, embracing her, picking her up in her arms.
"I'm so sorry my Maiden."
"It's alright. I always get this done to me though."
"Oh, let me make it up to you, my love!"
Yuma just reeled back, in a large amount of shock.
"Your love?"
Maiden in Love then started whispering in Zubaba Knight's ear.
"Of course."
Zubaba Knight then grabbed one of its blades, looking directly at Yuma.
"What th-"
Zubaba Knight then charged and slashed Yuma through the stomach.
"AGH!"
Yuma: 8000 – 1600 = 6400
"What was that?"
Astral floated down to look at Yuma.
"It seems that your monster attacked you."
"I KNOW THAT!"
As the "Spirit World" projection ended, Yuma's field ended, Yuma's field was empty, and Zubaba Knight was on Kotori's field.
"You should know this Yuma, if Maiden in Love attacks a monster while being equipped with Cupid Kiss, and the monster has a Maiden Counter, I get control of it after I take damage."
Yuma stood up, weakly looking at Astral.
"Astral?"
Astral looked at Yuma, arms crossed.
"Astral?"
Astral looked at Yuma, arms crossed.
"There is one weakness to that monster. It always takes damage if it is in Attack Position, and it never gets destroyed if that stays in Attack Position. At the cost, it would gain our monsters."
Astral then closed his eyes.
"However," as he opened his eyes, he pointed at the other monsters on Kotori's field.
"Those other monsters that she controls are good targets!"
Kotori then resumed her turn.
"I shall place one card facedown. End of Turn!"
Hand: 2
Turn 4, Yuma:
"Kattoubingu-daze, ore!"
As he drew his card, Astral was amazed at the card that he had drawn.
"Yuma, that Spell Card can work against her set monster, and-"
"Way on it! I summon Gagaga Magician!"
A magician in a black robe with a set of silver hair, rose up, along with a chain around him, and around its leg.
Gagaga Magician, Level 4:
ATK: 1500
DEF: 1000
Once per turn, during your Main Phase: You can declare a Level from 1 to 8; this card becomes that Level until the End Phase. You can only control 1 face-up "Gagaga Magician". This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster.
"Next, I'm going with an Equip Spell, called Big Bang Shot!"
Big Bang Shot, Equip Spell:
The equipped monster gains 400 ATK. When the equipped monster attacks a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the equipped monster's ATK, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent. When this card is removed from the field, the equipped monster is removed from play.
"Now, Gagaga Magician gets a 400 ATK boost!"
Gagaga Magician:
ATK: 1500 + 400 = 1900
A red aura then surrounded Gagaga Magician, causing almost explosive power to radiate from him.
"Now he can also cause piercing damage!"
Gagaga Magician's fist then glowed bright red, that it was shaking with explosive power.
"Let's go Gagaga!"
The fist then went forwards, hitting the set card, Marshmallon.
"Agh!"
Kotori: 6800 – 1400 = 5400
"You flipped Marshmallon in battle, so you take a full 1000 life point damage!"
The fist's explosive power then ricocheted off of Marshamallon, shooting Yuma back a mile from its impact.
"Gah!"
Yuma: 6400 – 1000 = 5400
Yuma kicked himself up, but was starting to pant.
"Now, we both are back at square one, only we both have taken damage."
Kotori then chuckled to herself in almost a seductive way.
"But I'm not done yet! I play a Trap, Dark Side of the Maiden!"
Dark Side of the Maiden, Normal Trap:
Activate only when a monster flips a monster on your side of the field in battle. Remove 1 LIGHT Monster from your graveyard to distribute "Maiden Counters" to your opponent's monsters equal to the removed monster's level.
"I remove Shining Angel with this card's effect, and I'm going to give Gagaga Magician a little love!"
Four hearts then were blown from the Maiden in Love's mouth, onto Gagaga Magician's "heart" where it suddenly started blushing and was getting four hearts on its chest.
"Oh no, not this again!"
"Interesting, cards that are able to infect monsters with these counters without having to attack the Maiden itself."
Gagaga Magician: 4 MC
"I can't do anything else except play 2 cards facedown.
Hand: 2
Turn 5, Kotori:
"I draw! And now I will summon another monster, so meet, Magician's Valkyria!"
"A legendary monster!"
A redhead with long hair similar to the Dark Magician Girl, along with a turquoise and blue outfit that was similar to the Dark Magician Girls as well, springing up and posing with a wink.
Magician's Valkyria, Level 4:
ATK: 1600
DEF: 1800
Your opponent cannot select another Spellcaster-Type monster you control as an attack target.
"Oh sweetness!"
"First I switch all my monsters into Attack Mode, and then I attack with Maiden in Love!"
"Not again…"
"Yuma! The Trap!"
Yuma then quickly activated his set card.
"Let's go! I activate Dimensional Prison!"
Dimensional Prison, Trap:
When an opponent declares an attack: Target that monster; banish that target.
"Now, your Monster is-"
"I activate a quick play spell of my own! It's called Love Balloon! So, whenever you activate a Trap Card that targets one Maiden in Love, I can negate it, and draw one card!"
As the Dimensional Prison hole opened up, a beam of hearts then came from the trap card, closing it up.
"Gagaga Magician!"
The scene projected itself again, showing Maiden in Love missing an embrace from Gagaga Magician.
"No…not again…"
Maiden in Love fell on her face, crying.
"I'm so sorry…"
Gagaga magician was then offering his hand towards her. Kotori was getting all giddy from it.
Kotori: 5400 – 1500 = 3900
"And you know what happens next Yuma! ~"
Gagaga Magician, Zubaba Knight, Marshamallon, and Magician's Valkyria then took battle stances in front of Yuma, while Maiden in Love looked with confidence at Yuma.
"Show this naughty little boy a lesson!"
They all then lunged towards him with a blast of magic, a bite, a fist, and a sword.
"With all that, I win!"
"Hold your horses Kotori! I play another Trap card! Damage Diet!"
Astral smirked.
"Good move!"
"So with Damage Diet in effect, I can halve the amount of damage I would have taken!"
The attacks all the collided with Yuma, making him stagger.
Yuma: 5400 – 2700 = 2700
"Fine then! I activate Gagaga Magician's ability! I can change it's level, so I choose Level 3!"
Gagaga Magician: Level 4 = Level 3
"Now she has-"
"Three Level 3 monsters!"
Kotori just smirked.
"But I'm not done yet! I activate Heart Token Notation!"
Heart Token Notation, Normal Spell:
Select one monster that you control that has "Maiden Counters" on it. Remove all counters that are on the monster and both players draw cards equal to the number of "Maiden Counters" removed. The monster is removed from play and you take half of the Monster's ATK at the End Phase.
"I choose Gagaga Magician, so we both draw four cards!"
The hearts then dissipated from the Spellcaster's chest, causing pink light to glow on their decks, which filled Kotori's hand to 4 cards while Yuma had 6.
"Next, I overlay Gagaga Magician, Zubaba Knight, and Marshamllon!"
Zubaba Knight and Marshamallon then turned into yellow beams, while Gagaga Magician turned into a purple ball, shooting into the air.
"And now, with these monsters, I construct the Overlay Network!"
A red portal opened up in front of her, sending the three balls of light into it.
"I Xyz Summon, Royal Bachelorette!"
A monster in a black dress with brown hair, a crown of roses, came out with a green sword that was prickly as a rose, along with a rose shaped jewel at the hilt, while 3 purple Overlay Units surrounded her.
Royal Bachelorette, Xyz, DARK, Spellcaster, Rank 3:
ATK: 2000
DEF: 1150
3 Level 3 Monsters
Once per turn, you can detach an Xyz material monster from this card to select and change the position of one defense position or set monster (If it has a Flip effect, the effect is not activated). The monster selected then attacks one monster of your choice on the field.
"Now, I'm activating another Spell card, Level Award, which makes me change the level of Magician's Valkyria into a Level 2 monster!"
Magician's Valkyria: Level 4 = Level 2
"Now, I overlay these last two monsters of Maiden in Love and Magician's Valkyria!"
The monsters then turned into two yellow lights, falling into a red portal.
"I construct another Overlay Network, and Xyz summon!"
The monster had the same look as Maiden in Love, but there were a few things different. For one, it was wearing a white wedding dress, holding a bouquet of flowers, a pink bow in its hair, and a wedding veil that showed her face.
"Is this-"
"A second Xyz summon!"
"Oh Yuma, this is a much better Maiden, where she is in eternal bliss. ~"
Wings then suddenly came out of the back of the Maiden, making her compared to an angel, and were able to make her fly. The bouquet then turned into a silver sowrd, with two yellow overlay units floating around her.
"This doesn't look good…"
Kotori then gained a small smirk, where some dark aura and the Number "13" lightly started glowing on her hand, which was unnoticeable to both Kotori and Yuma.
