"As one ace Vanguard fighter after another falls to the machinations of Takuto, formerly the Concertmaster and now the Destiny Conductor, he reveals that the fearsome "Deletor" cards that he introduced are only his advance force. By controlling the flow of imagination that connects players to Planet Cray, whatever has taken over him aims to pull off something far more heinous than just dominating a cherished bond."--Page 4 of cover.
