It was the next day after the events that transpired last time. Yuji and his group decided that since this is supposed to be a "vacation" they might as well enjoy it. So they are going to relax at the beach. Not much to say about this...yet.
Yuji was in the water while Takeru was on the beach reading some stuff. Ame needed some time to get ready before she could join them, but Crystal was...well...she pulled out the big guns.
"Hey, Yuji!" Crystal was facing his back "Can you give me a man's opinion?"
"About what-" as Yuji said that he turned around and immediately went speechless when he saw her "What the..." He could only stare at her like any other man would because it seems she didn't bring one bikini. She brought 2!
"Ha! That reaction alone tells me a lot." she acted pretty smug and positive of herself as she changed her bikini from a yellow one to a black one that seemed to be almost skin-tight on her and that turned the heads of all man around. "I only bring this out for special occasions." she glanced at the beach and saw Alex sunbathing, or sleeping.
-Oh God give him strength...- Yuji prayed in his mind for Alexandru.
"Anyway. Thank you for your help Yuji" she winked at him and headed to where Alex was.
"...Poor guy. I can only imagine what'll happen." Yuji said having pity on poor Alexandru.
"What will happen?" she was behind Yuji and unwillingly startled him "Sorry!"
"It's ok..." it didn't take long to notice her swimsuit, which, in comparison to Crystal's, was less revealing and on the cute side instead of the hot one. It was a one-piece swimsuit of a light-blue color with white dots on it. "Nice swimsuit."
"T-thanks..." Ame blushed a bit. Typical of her.
On the beach, as we saw before, Crystal was going in for the kill on Alex. But as she approached him Takeru stopped her as something seemed to worry him."Any reason for getting in the way of my hunt, fire-boy?" she was a bit annoyed.
"Yeah...You might want to go to change...This..." He gulped looking at her."bikini is drawing some shady attention." He pointed at some guys that were checking Crystal from afar. They seemed to be talking but they couldn't understand the words. "Are you sure your other bikini is no good?"
"Look, this is my sure-kill weapon! So outta my way!" She went past Takeru and kept going.
"Wait-" Takeru backed away as he saw the guys that were looking at her moving. -Oh shit! I must warn Yuji and the others- he left to get help.
"Hello, there big boy~" she leaned forward at Alex and talked in English so she could talk to him. "I just wanted to thank you for taking care of Yuji and all that. So look, if it's not too much to ask, how about I buy a drink to say thank-" at that moment she heard a small snore coming from Alex, which had a book on his face. It turns out he fell asleep. "Are you kidding me?" She was slightly disappointed.
"Ceau, frumoaso. [ceau, beautiful]." He went to her along with 2 other people. "Numele e Marius."
"Yes?" Crystal spoke in English "Can I help you?"
Oh? It seems we have a tourist, guys!" the 2 next to him laughed a bit. "So, baby, mind telling me what is a beauty like you doing over here next to..." he looked at Alex and got a bit intimidated. "Uh...Bine ca doarme [Good thing he's asleep]" He cleared his throat as he got back n main track."Next to a sleeping pansy?"
"I had no idea he was asleep at first. But now I think I might wait for him to wake up-HEY!" without her noticing, one of the guys snuck behind her and touched her bun. "Damn creep!" She hissed at him angrily.
Marius and his friends just laughed. "Look, how about you ditch that guy and come hang out with us? We promise you we will take good care of you." he grinned "Really good care."
"As I said, no thank you. I will sit right here" she set down next to Alex "So please leave if you can."
"So that's how, huh?" Marius gestured to one of his friends to get him a drink "Listen here, no none tells me to leave" after his friend got the drink he didn't pour it down the throat, but instead, he threw it on Alex. "That's a warning. You're lucky I don't like hitting girls" Alex woke up " or else you would've-" His words were cut as his pinky finger was twisted backward by Alex who was not happy waking up all sticky and wet.
Alexandru noticed them talking in English "Alright! What happened?" he changed a bit since yesterday. He shaved his beard but kept a small patch on his chin which looked pretty good on him.
"Those creeps came over trying to make me go with them and when I said no...they took vengeance on you." Crytal explained and looked with satisfaction at what was most likely to happen next.
"So that's how." Oh, snap.
"Let me go..." Marius tried to release his pinky and succeded Nenorocitule! "[Bastard] Get 'im guys-"
"Predictable..." before Marius could finish he grabbed one of his friends and threw him in the other one. "Got anything more to say, smart-ass?"
"Te rog nu la fata...[Please, not the face]" The next thing he saw were birds flying around his head after Alexandru was done with him.
Alexandru sighed tiredly as he sat back down. "diots..." he leaned on his back on his chair.
"I..." she was pretty amazed by his sheer combat "Where'd you learn all that?"
"Lotta bullies. You learn some moves when you get sick of them." He answered bluntly.
"I see..."
"Crystal!" Yuji arrived with Ame and Takeru. "Takeru told us about the potential creeps. Are you ok?" he was a bit worried but he immediately breathes easily seeing as she was ok.
"I'm fine. Alexandru took care of them." Crystal said.
"Did I hear my name?" They were speaking in Japanese so he couldn't fully understand them. "Y'know, I might be only 20 but I don't really get time to learn Japanese."
"20?!" Crystal was pretty surprised to hear his age "You're the same age as me?!"
Alexandru laughed a bit "I get that a lot. It's because of my height and beard that many people take me for at least 25 or even 30 if I don't shave in a few months."
"Huh...Do all Romanians grow beards this early?" Ame asked curiously.
"It depends, but it usually starts showing at 15 or 16. " Alexandru answered, which made Yuji and Takeru check their chins for any signs of hair growth.
"Well..." Crystal leaned in front of him. She was going for it now that he was awake.
-Oh God...-
-She's going for it-
-Amen, dude-
"Say, Alex, what do you think of my swimsuit?" Crystal had a sensual tone of voice to try and seduce Alex
"An 11/10 for sure. Pretty nice." At that moment everyone was left shocked, especially Crystal. He kept a straight face and didn't even sweat a bit seeing her bikini, which, twisted necks on the beach.
"What...?" Crystal was honestly left speechless...her 100% sure-kill was defeated.
"Looks like he's immune..." Yuji muttered in Japanese
"Yep...I wonder if he's not swinging the wrong way." Ame said wondering if he was alright.
"Ummmm. Alex?" Takeru spoke up in order to clear his thoughts on the matter.
"Yes?" He ignored Yuji and Ame gossiping.
"Are you feeling well?" Takeru asked thinking he might be sick or something.
"I'm a bit tired, but I'm about 8/10, why'd you ask?" Alexandru replied.
"Is it not tight not enough?" Crystal looked at her bikini and muttered with an expression of utter defeat.
Alexandru noticed her expression and read others like open books. He managed to get a basic idea of what went down. "Ohhhh. I see...Don't take it the wrong way, Crystal? was it? Your bikini is smokin' hot, I am just not really attracted by the body, well, it is 40% body at least."
" Let me guess...the rest of 60% is personality?" Crystal said catching on to the precedence.
"You catch on quick. If you had a duel disk we could've dueled as well." Alexandru said.
"What? A Duel?" Crystal didn't expect those words. But she did dislike them.
"What do you mean, Alexandru?" Yuji asked him.
" Please. Call me Alex for short." He told him.
"Alex?" Yuji repeated, but...
"Ugh..." He didn't quite like the sound of the short version of his in Japanese accent "Know what. Lex. It is the nickname my cousin gave me. Use that." He said.
"O-ok...So..." Yuji looked at Crystal.
Crystal was smirking "For a matter of fact I am a duelist and I do have a disk." she turned to Ame "Can you be a sweetheart and go grab my disk form my luggage?"
"Sure. " Ame replied and went back to the hotel.
"Where's your duel disk, Lex?" Takeru asked using his nickname.
"Right behind me." He pointed at his bike which was parked at the edge of the beach "Let me go grab it." He went to his bike and pressed a button which ejected the dueling set-up which revealed itself to a duel disk that acts as a part for the bike. He then returned to them just in time as Ame returned.
"Ready?" Crystal had a confident smirk on her face
"As ever." He picked up a deck from his bike before he returned and set it into the disk.
Each one of them went to opposite sites of the field then put their disk up.
"How about you start first, Lex?" Crystal offered.
"My, thank you." He drew his starting hand and immediately let out a swear Romanian -I took the wrong deck...-
LEX: LP: 4000, H:5
CRYSTAL: LP: 4000, H:5
"Oh well...I guess it would've happened sooner or later." Lex stared at her before taking a card out of his hand. "I summon Galaxy Worm!"A monster resembling a blue worn, almost mechanical, appeared; 1200/1000, level 3, Insect, LIGHT.
"Galaxy?!" Magisa raised her voice in surprise.
"He is..." Yuji immediately knew.
"When Worm is normal summoned, and I control no other monster, I get to summon a copy of him by negating its effect. Appear! A second Galaxy Worm." Another Worm appeared.
"2 Level 3 monsters?" Crystal read the pattern and recognized it as the one of an Xyz duelist "I take it you plan on the overlay network?"
"Wrong!" his answer surprised her but his next moves made it clear "I activate the spell card, Photon Booster!"A strong stream of light erupted and enveloped the 2 worms."Thanks to this card, all monsters with the same name as one I select, in this case, Worm, have their attack changed to 2000!"
Wormx2: 1200-2000
"Why raise their attack if they cannot attack?" Yuji asked since Lex was the one going first.
"He isn't...he didn't" Magisa knew what was coming but couldn't believe it
"I tribute my 2 monsters with 2000 to special summon this card form my hand. Come, the dragon with eyes as the cosmos, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!" The 2 Worms disappeared and particles were left behind. The particles then came together to form a new form, but much different. The form of a dragon. With a strong roar, the dragon dispersed the light that was covering him and revealed itself as a bipedal dragon with dark-blue armor with red details on its wings, tail, and head. Its skin was blue and glowing, even pulsating a bit, and its eyes...if you were to look deep in them you would see the galaxy itself; 3000/2500, level 8, Dragon, LIGHT.
"Wow..." Crystal was amazed by the dragon that stood in front of her "Amazing..."
" Galaxy-Eyes...one of our warriors. " Magisa muttered.
"So he IS one of us! Isn't that great Ame?" Yuji exclaimed and asked Ame, but something seemed off with her as she looked at Galaxy-Eyes.
"I..." Ame stared at Galaxy-Eyes and trembled a bit
"Something wrong?" Takeru asked.
"Its voice...I hear echoes of hatred and grief..." Ame said.
"The Blue Chosen is right." Magisa narrowed her eyes at Galaxy-Eyes "Something is off."
"I set one card face-down and end my turn. " Lex said.
LEX: H:0
"You burned your entire hand to pull this bad boy out." Crystal looked at Galaxy-Eyes and smirked "Let's see if it was a good trade! I draw!" she drew a card -With this, I can get rid of that dragon!- "I normal summon Cupid Volley!" A monster resembling a girl with green hair holding a bow appeared; 600/600, level 1, Fairy, LIGHT. "Next I use her effect! I sent up to 3 cards from the top of my deck to the grave to increase her level by the same amount, and I chose to send only 1."
Cupid Volley: 1-2
"Sorry dear, but the dragon must go. I activate the ritual spell, Machine Angel Ritual! I use Cupid Volley and Cyber Angel Idaten in my hand to Ritual Summon!"
"Oh? Ritual Summoning?" Lex seemed interested in Crystal's Ritual Summoning.
An altar appeared behind her as Cupid Volley and Idaten turned to dust and went into the flame. "Come! The gracious deity of war, Cyber Angel Dakini!" Out of the flame, a new monster came out. Female, like most of her monsters, with multiple arms holding 2 swords and a spear; 2700/2400, level 8, Fairy, LIGHT."Idaten's effect! When she is tributed all my Ritual Monster's gain 1000 attack!"
"An effect that triggers regardless of where the monster is tributed?" Lex commented. True enough, usually monsters are tributed form the field. But in Ritual Summoning, the materials used are treated as being tributed no matter where they used form.
Dakini: 2700-3700
"Not bad" Lex smiled.
"If you think this is "not bad" then watch this! Dakini attacks your Galaxy-Eyes!" Dakini charged at Galaxy-Eyes but before her weapons made contact, both monsters disappeared.
"What?!" Crystal was caught completely off-guard by this.
"What happened? Both of them just...vanished!" Yuji said looking at the field.
"Sorry, but when Galaxy-Eyes battles, I can target your monster and banish it along with my monster until the end of the Battle Phase. " Lex said explaining what happened.
"It has such an effect?!" Crystal was surprised by Galaxy-Eyes' effect "I move on to my Main Phase 2!" The 2 Monsters reappeared on the field. -That effect is pretty powerful. But there are ways around it- "I set one card face-down and end my turn! at this point Dakini losses her attack boost."
Dakini: 3700-2700
CRYSTAL: H: 2
"My turn! I draw!" he drew one card "I attack Dakini with Galaxy-Eyes!" The dragon began charging a blue energy blast in its jaws.
"I activate my trap card, Unbreakable Spirit! Thanks to its effect, since I only control Dakini, I can increase her attack up to your dragon's attack!" Dakini was covered by a blue aura as her attack was raised: 2700-5700.
"Not a bad move. But not good enough! Galaxy-Eyes, attack!" Lex was not going to stop.
"What?!" everyone was shocked by his decision. It was pure suicide.
The dragon fired at Dakin, but she blocked the blast with her weapons. "I activate Galaxy-Eyes' effect!" The 2 monsters disappeared.
"Tch. So it is not just when I attack..." Crytal muttered.
" It is not, but I suggest you watch your six."
Before she could realize, Crystal was hit by Galaxy-Eyes' blast that was supposed to vanish with Dakini. "How..." she was completely confused.
"When Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon banishes a monster, I can send this card to the grave." Lex pointed behind Crystal
Crystal turned around and saw a small monster that looked that a wanderer dressed in blue clothing. "What is that?"
"Dimension Wanderer. When I use its effect, as I said before, you take 3000 points of damage!" Lex stated.
CRYSTAL: LP: 4000-1000
"3000 just like that?!" Yuji exclaimed as Lex took out 3 quarters of Crystal's LP without even destroying her monster first.
"Hey, hey, hey! Are you for real?" Takeru said.
"I now end my turn! Return to me, Galaxy-Eyes!" His dragon reappeared along with Dakini. "Your move."
"You're good...really good." Crystal admitted.
"Thanks, although your use of Ritual is not that shabby either. If not for Galaxy-Eyes effect then I would be in troubles." Lex said.
"I take it that is your ace?" Crystal said.
" I guess you could say that. " Lex looked at Galaxy-Eyes "He is my key to peace."
