CHAPTER 2
Furious Fiery Felines
Somewhere in another part of Knapford City, it was as busy as ever. However, all was not too well for two people not from around there...
"Mama Mia!" cried out a female voice in anger, speaking with an Italian accent. "Axel!"
"G-Gina, I'm so sorry!" protested a male voice, speaking with a Belgian accent.
The voices were coming from Gina Couillet of Italy, and Axel Notesse of Belgium. They were both visiting the Island of Sodor for a few weeks. Apparently, Axel had unintentionally done something that made Gina quite mad.
"I have never felt so-a embarrassed in-a my whole life!" The voice of Gina was saying, indignantly.
"It was an accident!" The voice of Axel insisted. "I swear, I didn't mean for that pie to hit you!"
It would seem that there was an incident involving a pie hitting Gina or something... Either way, an upset Gina was storming out of a nearby diner with cream and custard from a pie all over her shirt and skirt, and Axel was trying to apologize to his girlfriend and help clean her up.
"I swear, I can make it up to you!" The purple-haired boy insisted.
"Really?" questioned Gina, managing to calm down a bit. "In-a that case, it is-a my turn to-a pick the-a next site to-a visit."
Axel eagerly nodded. "Of course. You name the place, and I'll agree to it without question."
Gina, despite being covered in pie, seemed to smile in response. The Italian beauty knew just where they should go next...
(elsewhere...)
Over at one of the Daycare Centers (since Gina adored children, it would be a good idea to visit there and speak to everyone), there were sounds of children coming from inside. Not only that, there was an angry voice also coming from inside...
"I don't believe it!" The voice belonged to Axel.
"Axel, please!" cried the voice of Gina. "They didn't mean-a it!"
Exiting the building was Axel, and he had vomit on his face and clothing. Gina, meanwhile, emerged looking sorry for what had happened.
"I did not spend years training as a duelist to become a human vomit pan!" Axel scowled, using a towel he had on him.
"Axel, they are-a only children!" protested Gina. "They did not-a know better." She then grew angry right back. "Besides, it-a was your-a fault that-a pie ruined my-a outfit!"
"It was a freakin' accident! How many times do I have to say it?!"
As the couple walked down towards another part of town, the international argument between the two European teenagers was beginning to gather attention from nearby watchers.
"WORST DATE EVER!" Axel and Gina both said at once. "AND IT'S YOUR FAULT!" They both recoiled. "MY FAULT?! IT WAS NOT!"
Several citizens of Knapford were worried about what would happen next.
"Oh my..." gasped Belle, turning to her two sons. "This is looking bad."
Gina glared at Axel. "I say let our-a cards decide-a everything!"
"You want a duel?" The purple-haired Belgian boy demanded, pointing at his brown-haired Italian girlfriend. "Then let's do it!"
"Oh, wow! A duel between Axel and Gina!" whooped Gumball Brighton (Belle's first son) excitedly.
"Hurray!" Darwin Brighton (Belle's second son) cheered. "Did you hear that, Mom?"
Belle felt uneasy. "Yeah, I did..."
Meanwhile, Axel and Gina both activated their Duel Disks and stood ready for their duel.
"Hope you're ready to feel the burn!" declared Axel, drawing his opening hand (LP: 4000).
Gina drew her opening hand (LP: 4000). "My-a felines will-a scratch you-a up!"
And so, the duel between the furious couple ensured...
"The first turn will go to me!" announced Axel, drawing a card. "Draw!"
Turn One: Axel Notesse (LP: 4000)
Deck: 44
Current Hand (6): "Tri-Blaze Accelerator", "Volcanic Hammerer", "Fire Recovery", "Volcanic Rat", "Flaming Barbed Wire", and "Volcanic Slicer"
On cue, a Monster Card called 'Volcanic Slicer' materialized face-up on the field.
"I deploy 'Volcanic Slicer' in attack position!"
Appearing on the field was a molten-like creature that resembled a sort of dinosaur (Level: 4/ATK: 1800/DEF: 1200).
"'Volcanic Slicer's' effect works like this... I can prevent it from attacking this turn in order to inflict 500 points of damage to your Life Points!" explained Axel. "I cannot attack on the first turn, but I can still use the effect to lower your Life Points, Gina!"
'Volcanic Slicer' fired a blast of fire at Gina, causing the brown-haired Italian girl to flinch slightly (LP: 3500).
"Come osi?!" growled Gina in Italian.
Axel smirked in response. Currently, his hand contained 'Tri-Blaze Accelerator', 'Volcanic Hammerer', 'Fire Recovery', 'Volcanic Rat', and 'Flaming Barbed Wire'. Soon enough, the purple-haired Belgian boy took one of the cards and slotted it into his Duel Disk.
"Finally, I'll set one card facedown-" continued Axel, just as a facedown card materialized behind his only monster. "-and end my turn. Alright, Gina, let's see what you can do to try and even the odds!"
"I will not-a lose!" declared Gina, drawing a card. "Pesca carta!"
Turn Two: Gina Couillet (LP: 4000)
Deck: 44
Current Hand (6): "Lunalight Blue Cat", "Lunalight Crimson Fox", "Lunalight Purple Butterfly", "Lunalight Reincarnation Dance", "Fusion Substitute", and "Polymerization"
Her hand currently contained 'Lunalight Blue Cat', 'Lunalight Crimson Fox', 'Lunalight Purple Butterfly', 'Lunalight Reincarnation Dance', 'Fusion Substitute', and 'Polymerization'. Before long, the brown-haired Italian girl selected another card and placed it onto a Monster Field slot on her Duel Disk.
"Meet-a 'Lunalight Crimson Fox'!"
Appearing onto the field was a female monster dressed up like a fox (Level: 4/ATK: 1800/DEF: 600).
"Our monsters are tied in strength." frowned Axel.
"Not after I play-a this!" retorted Gina, taking and holding out a card. "'Polymerization'! And I will fuse-a 'Lunalight Blue Cat' and-a 'Lunalight Purple Butterfly' together!"
'Lunalight Blue Cat' and 'Lunalight Purple Butterfly' both briefly appeared on the field before fusing together.
"Apparire - 'Lunalight Cat Dancer'!"
Appearing on the field, performing a slight belly dance, was the female cat-like belly dancer with two tails (Level: 7/ATK: 2400/DEF: 2000).
"Is Gina going to try a One Turn Kill strategy?" Axel thought to himself.
In the audience...
"Oh, wow!" breathed Gumball and Darwin, both being happy with seeing a monster like that.
"Gina plays a 'Lunalight' Monster Deck..." commented Connor.
"This will be an interesting duel." added Caitlin.
Back in the duel field...
"I activate-a 'Lunalight Cat Dancer's' effect!" announced Gina. "By-a sacrificing a 'Lunalight' monster on my-a field, 'Lunalight Cat Dancer' is-a able to-a attack each-a monster you-a control twice each this-a turn. The-a attacked monsters, however, cannot be-a destroyed by-a battle during the-a first attack on-a each of-a them."
'Lunalight Crimson Fox' vanished in a blue streak.
"With-a 'Lunalight Crimson Fox' offered by a Card Effect, her own-a effect activates! I can-a target una monster on your-a field and-a change its Attack Power to-a zero until the-a end of-a the turn."
'Volcanic Slicer' lost all of its Attack Points (ATK: 1800 - 0). With the nearby audience...
"Gina's going for a One Turn Kill strategy!" realized Hank.
"Unless Axel has something to counter that." insisted Connor.
"Otherwise, he loses on the attack!" put in Caitlin.
Back in the duel field, the Battle Phase had come...
"Battaglia!" announced Gina in Italian. "First, since-a 'Lunalight Cat Dancer' is-a attacking, I use-a my monster's effect to-a inflict 100 points of-a damage to-a your Life Points!"
'Lunalight Cat Dancer' slashed at Axel with one of her fans, making him grimace (LP: 3900).
"This is-a the end!" cried Gina, just as 'Lunalight Cat Dancer' finally started her assault on 'Volcanic Slicer'.
"Wrong!" cut in Axel. "This duel is just getting started!"
"Che cosa!?"
Axel poked a button on his Duel Disk. "I activate a Quick-Play Spell Card - 'Flaming Barbed Wire'!"
On cue, the purple-haired Belgian boy's set card flipped face-up and revealed itself.
"This lets me change the battle position of monsters on your side of the field up to the current number of cards in my hand." Axel held out his hand. "And right now, I have four cards! But all I need is one to stop your attack!"
A flaming barbed wire fence appeared, causing 'Lunalight Cat Dancer' to stop her attack and shift into a defensive stance.
"So, it-a won't be-a easy to-a attack." grumbled Gina, who then took a card from her hand and slotted it into her Duel Disk. "I set una card and end my-a turn!"
A facedown card materialized on the field.
"With it being the End Phase-" said Axel. "-the Attack Power of 'Volcanic Slicer' returns to normal!"
'Volcanic Slicer's' power was restored (ATK: 0 - 1800).
"Too bad, Gina." taunted Axel, wagging the index finger of his right hand. "Your attempt at a One Turn Kill has backfired."
With that said, he drew his next card.
Turn Three: Axel Notesse (LP: 3900)
Deck: 43
Current Hand (5): "Tri-Blaze Accelerator", "Volcanic Hammerer", "Fire Recovery", "Volcanic Rat", and "Pot of Greed"
On cue, the 'Pot of Greed' Spell Card materialized face-up on the field...
"I activate the Spell Card 'Pot of Greed'!" announced Axel.
In the audience...
"Umm... What does 'Pot of Greed' do?" asked Darwin naively.
"Darwin!" snapped Gumball. "Everyone knows what 'Pot of Greed' does! It... it..." He stumbled at what to say. "What does 'Pot of Greed' do, again?"
Belle seemed to sigh. "It allows a player to draw two more cards from their decks."
"Wow, you know more about the game than we do, Mom." commented Gumball.
"Teach us, someday!" begged Darwin.
"Actually, your sister knows more about the game than I do." Belle pointed out, sweatdropping. "Despite the fact she's only six. You know, it almost scares me sometimes that she's so smart for her age."
Back in the duel field...
"With two cards drawn-" continued Axel, adding two cards to his hand. "-I will begin the next step in retaking control of the duel!" He placed another card onto his Duel Disk. "Come forth - 'Volcanic Rocket'!"
Appearing on the field was a rocket crafted from magma and rocket (Level: 4/ATK: 1900/DEF: 1400).
"As it was Normal Summoned, I can add one copy of 'Blaze Accelerator' from my Deck to my hand." As the purple-haired Belgian boy spoke, he drew another card and added it to his hand. "But now is when I play it!"
"What?!" gasped Gina.
Appearing on the field was the turret-like weapon.
"When 'Blaze Accelerator' is played, I can send it to the Graveyard to activate 'Tri-Blaze Accelerator'!"
The face-up 'Blaze Accelerator' Spell Card shattered into shards of glass, only to be replaced by the 'Tri-Blaze Accelerator' Spell Card. Before long, the updated version of 'Blaze Accelerator' with three cannon slots emerged from the face-up card.
"During each of my Main Phases-" explained Axel. "-I can send a Pyro-Type Monster Card from my hand to the Graveyard to destroy one monster on your side of the field and inflict 500 points of damage to your Life Points, Gina! If I do, however, I may not declare an attack for the turn."
Gina said nothing, watching as Axel held another card out.
"So now, I'll discard 'Volcanic Hammerer' to destroy your 'Cat Dancer'!"
'Tri-Blaze Accelerator', locking and loading, took aim at 'Lunalight Cat Dancer'.
"My monster is-a not going anywhere!" declared Gina, just as a card emerged from her Graveyard. "By-a removing 'Lunalight Crimson Fox' from the-a Graveyard, I briefly negate the activation of your-a 'Tri-Blaze Accelerator' and-a increase both of our-a Life Points by-a 1000!"
As the blast of flame was fired, 'Lunalight Crimson Fox' reappeared on the field to intercept the attack.
"Oh no!" cringed Axel (LP: 4900).
Gina smirked (LP: 4500). "Nice-a try, but that-a trick won't work on-a me so-a easily."
"No matter!" Axel growled, taking and holding another card out. "I activate 'Fire Recovery'!"
The mentioned Spell Card materialized face-up on the field.
"By sending 'Volcanic Rat from my hand to the Graveyard-" The purple-haired Belgian boy explained, sending a card to the Graveyard. "-I can revive 'Volcanic Hammerer' and place it in attack mode!"
Appearing on the field was a large, volcanic fighter-like monster (Level: 5/ATK: 2400/DEF: 1500).
"In exchange for not letting my monster attack this turn, I'll activate its effect! For each 'Volcanic'-named monster in my Graveyard, you'll receive 200 points of damage, Gina!"
"If I recall, you-a only have-a una there." Gina pointed out.
"Correct." nodded Axel. "That means you'll lose 200 Life Points exactly!"
Gina grimaced as minor damage was sustained (LP: 4300). Unfortunately, the damage dealing turn of Axel was not yet over...
"And now, it's 'Volcanic Slicer's' turn!" While speaking, Axel pointed forth. "In exchange for not letting it attack this turn, you'll receive 500 extra points of damage!"
"Again?!" wailed Gina.
"Exactly! Say goodbye to 500 more of your Life Points!"
'Volcanic Slicer' fired another blast at Gina, striking and causing her to cry out as she sustained more Life Point damage (LP: 3800). From there, 'Volcanic Slicer' went into a defensive stance.
"From there, I'll switch 'Volcanic Slicer' to defense mode." continued Axel, who then held another card. "And then, I'll activate 'Card of Burial Magic' to remove three Spell Cards from my Graveyard to draw two cards from my Deck."
Three cards slid out from Axel's Graveyard before fading away into oblivion, allowing him to draw two more cards. From there, two facedown cards materialized on the field.
"Finally, I'll set two cards and end my turn." finished Axel. "Is this duel getting too 'hot' for you?"
'Lunalight Cat Dancer' seemed to hiss angrily in response, and Gina did not look any better either.
"This-a duel is not-a over!" The brown-haired Italian girl insisted, drawing a card. "I draw!"
Turn Four: Gina Couillet (LP: 3800)
Deck: 42
Current Hand (2): "Fusion Substitute" and "Lunalight Black Sheep"
Her drawn card was the 'Lunalight Black Sheep' Monster Card.
"Aha..." she said quietly to herself, before placing it onto a Monster Field slot on her Duel Disk. "'Lunalight Black Sheep', come-a forth!"
Appearing onto the field was a female monster dressed like a sheep with black wool (Level: 2/ATK: 100/DEF: 600).
"From-a there..." continued Gina, holding her last card out. "I will-a activate 'Fusion Substitute'! This will-a allow me to-a fuse 'Lunalight Black Sheep' and-a 'Lunalight Cat Dancer' together! Appear-a - 'Lunalight Panther Dancer'!"
The two monsters fused together. Appearing onto the field, once the Fusion Summon sequence ended, was a humanoid panther monster with a blade, also dressed as a dancer (Level: 8/ATK: 2800/DEF: 2500). Suddenly, Gina regained a card for her hand.
"As-a 'Lunalight Black Sheep' was-a used for-a Fusion Material while face-up on-a the field, I can-a add her-a back to my-a hand." Gina pointed out. "And-a now, the-a effect of-a 'Lunalight Panther Dancer' - it can-a attack all-a monsters you-a control twice each this-a turn, but the-a attacked monsters can't be-a destroyed by-a battle during the-a first attack on-a each of-a them."
"Just like 'Cat Dancer'?" asked Axel.
"Just like-a 'Cat Dancer'!"
'Lunalight Panther Dancer' stood ready to attack on command...
"Attack!" commanded Gina. "Take-a down 'Volcanic Slicer'!"
'Lunalight Panther Dancer' obeyed, swooping in to strike the opponent down.
"FULL MOON CRESTA .2!"
With two powerful strikes from her weapons, 'Lunalight Panther Dancer' struck and destroyed 'Volcanic Slicer' (the second strike was what did the trick).
"When-a 'Lunalight Panther Dancer' is-a successful in-a destroying a monster, she-a gains 200 more-a Attack Points." explained Gina. "This will-a place her with-a 3000 Attack Points!"
'Lunalight Panther Dancer' grew stronger (ATK: 2800 - 3000).
"This isn't over by a longshot, Gina!" exclaimed Axel, just as his set card flipped face-up and revealed itself. "Continuous Trap - 'Volcanic Armor', activate! Since you've destroyed a Pyro-Type monster and sent it to the Graveyard, you receive 500 more points of damage!"
A huge burst of fire hit Gina, causing her to scream in pain (LP: 3300). Even then, she recovered and resumed going on the offensive.
"'Lunalight Panther Dancer', attack-a 'Volcanic Rocket'!" The brown-haired Italian girl commanded.
'Lunalight Panther Dancer' obeyed, striking her next target not once, but TWICE.
"As your-a monster was in-a attack mode, you will-a take Battle Damage twice!"
Axel grimaced (LP: 2700). "And 'Lunalight Panther Dancer' gains 200 more Attack Points..."
'Lunalight Panther Dancer' grew stronger (ATK: 3000 - 3200).
"Activate again, 'Volcanic Armor'!" commanded Axel.
The face-up Continuous Trap Card activated upon command.
"Say goodbye to 500 more Life Points!"
Gina was hit with another blast of fire (LP: 2800). Even then, she did not let up on her assault.
"Strike-a down, 'Volcanic Hammerer'!" Gina commanded.
'Lunalight Panther Dancer' obeyed, striking the enemy monster two times before it finally exploded in a blaze of fire.
"My monster..." winced Axel (LP: 1100). He then recovered from his shock. "The effect of 'Volcanic Armor' activates again! You are drained of 500 more Life Points!"
A third explosion hit Gina (LP: 2300). Since it was now the End Phase, 'Lunalight Panther Dancer' was sent back down to her original Attack Power (ATK: 3200 - 2800).
"Those two won't give up!" admired Caitlin.
"They're like..." Connor tried to think of something to say. "They're like..."
"Two 'Furious, Fiery Felines'!" finished Hank. "Fiery for Axel, and feline for Gina... Not to mention they're both furious!"
"What I want to know is what they hope to gain by fighting against each other like this." questioned BoCo. "From what we've first seen of them upon arrival, they're a couple."
Back in the duel field...
"This duel isn't over, Gina!" insisted Axel. "The duel will be mine!"
"Non lo farà!" snapped Gina in Italian. "It will be-a mine!"
Axel, scowling in response, drew a card.
Turn Five: Axel Notesse (LP: 1100)
Deck: 37
Current Hand (1): "Volcanic Doomfire"
His drawn card was the 'Volcanic Doomfire' Monster Card... It was go time!
"Now it's time to truly heat things up." smirked Axel. "I sacrifice my 'Tri-Blaze Accelerator'!"
A pillar of fire erupted around the 'Tri-Blaze Accelerator' machine. In the audience...
"Oh dear! A fire!" gasped Belle. "I'm tempted to call Flynn and get our firefighting team down here!"
"Ma'am, it's alright!" reassured Hank, speaking to the woman. "They're only holograms."
Back in the duel field...
"By offering my Trap Card-" said Axel, who them placed his last card onto a Monster Field slot on his Duel Disk. "-I Special Summon the powerful 'Volcanic Doomfire'!"
The fire began to fade, just as the mighty molten demon appeared on the field (Level: 8/ATK: 3000/DEF: 1800).
"Not only that-" The purple-haired Belgian boy went on, just as his remaining facedown card flipped up and revealed itself. "-I'll also activate a Trap Card - 'Volcanic Mine'! With it, I Special Summon 'Bomb Tokens' on all of your unoccupied Monster zones!"
Suddenly, four mines made from rock and lava appeared on Gina's side of the field.
"You have four unused Monster zones, so four 'Bomb Tokens' are Special Summoned onto them!" Axel pointed out.
"'Bomb Tokens'..." The brown-haired Italian girl whispered. "What will-a you use-a them for?"
"You'll find out soon." answered Axel, who then scowled. "Get ready for defeat, Gina!"
'Volcanic Doomfire' was ready to attack when commanded to...
"Take 'Lunalight Panther Dancer' down!"
'Volcanic Doomfire' obeyed, firing a blast of lava. 'Lunalight Panther Dancer' stood no chance against the Pyro-Type monster, as she was hit and destroyed just like that.
"AXEL!" screamed Gina angrily.
"GINA!" screamed Axel, sounding just as angry.
The audience grew concerned with the way the two duelists were yelling to each other. They prayed that nothing bad would happen.
"Trap Card, open!" announced Gina, just as her set card flipped face-up and revealed itself. "'Lunalight Reincarnation Dance'!" Two cards emerged from her Deck. "As-a una of my-a 'Lunalight' Fusion Monsters has been-a destroyed, I can-a add due 'Lunalight' Monsters from my-a Deck into my-a hand."
She took both cards and added them to her hand (which were shown to be the 'Lunalight White Rabbit' Monster Card and 'Lunalight Kaleido Chick' Monster Card). Either way, Axel wasn't done with his turn just yet...
"Now comes the effect of 'Volcanic Doomfire'" The purple-haired Belgian boy continued, punching his right hand forth. "All of your other monsters are destroyed, while 500 points of damage is also inflicted for each monster destroyed this way."
The volcanic-like mines suddenly exploded, surrounding Gina's field in flames.
"Such power and anger!" cried Caitlin.
Back in the duel field, Gina braced herself as her Life Points dropped to dangerously low levels (LP: 100).
"Axel is-a strong." she thought to herself. "The anger he is-a unleashing on-a me... Was it-a really my-a fault our date got-a ruined?"
Over with Axel...
"The way Gina is channeling her anger into her feline-based monsters..." he thought to himself. "In a way, it almost reminds me of...me. Could it be my fault our date ended so badly?"
When the smoke cleared, Gina's look of anger seemed to have softened considerably, and so did Axel's look.
"Gina..." Axel began.
"Axel..." Gina seemed to add.
Before long, the two European teenagers spoke to each other in unison...
"IT'S ALL MY FAULT!" Axel and Gina were both then surprised by what they had said at the same time. "YOUR FAULT?! IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT! IT WAS MINE!"
The audience was quiet as Gina and Axel both stared at each other for what seemed like forever. All of a sudden, the brown-haired Italian girl and purple-haired Belgian boy both...started laughing loud and long, feeling absolutely silly about their earlier argument.
"Huh?" blinked Gumball and Darwin.
"They're laughing?" quizzed BoCo.
"What's going on?" added Hank.
Back in the duel field, Axel and Gina both finally stopped laughing and smiled at each other.
"So, you're saying that it's all your fault?" said Axel. "Funny, it was actually my fault our date ended in total disaster."
"No-a, Axel, it was-a not." insisted Gina. "I should not have-a flipped out and-a blamed you for the-a pie ruining my-a clothing."
"And I shouldn't have blamed you for the children at the Daycare center throwing up on me." Axel added earnestly. "Accidents happen now and again, sometimes just by chance."
"I...guess we were both to-a blame for what-a happened."
Axel nodded in agreement. "Yes, we are." He then winked at his Italian girlfriend. "What do you say, Gina? Do you wanna finish this duel just for fun?"
"I accept the-a challenge, Axel!" Gina stood ready. "This will be-a my last-a turn!"
"Then give it your all!" dared Axel.
With that said, Gina finally drew her card (using the famous Destiny Draw technique).
Turn Six: Gina Couillet (LP: 100)
Deck: 39
Current Hand (4): "Lunalight Black Sheep", "Lunalight White Rabbit", "Lunalight Kaleido Chick", and "Soul Release"
Her drawn card was the 'Soul Release' Spell Card, and it put a smile onto the brown-haired Italian girl's face. Even then, there was something else she had to do first...
"I Summon 'Lunalight Kaleido Chick' in-a attack mode!" declared Gina, placing a card onto a Monster Field slot on her Duel Disk. "Sorgere!"
Appearing onto the field was a female monster dressed as a yellow chick (Level: 4/ATK: 1400/DEF: 800).
"Next, I'll activate the-a effect of-a 'Fusion Substitute' in-a my Graveyard!" As Gina said this, the mentioned Spell Card emerged from the Graveyard before fading away into oblivion. "By-a banishing it, I can return una Fusion Monster in my-a Graveyard into the-a Extra Deck and-a draw una card."
On cue, 'Lunalight Panther Dancer' briefly reappeared on the field before turning into a ball of light and entering Gina's Duel Disk, allowing her to draw one card.
"But why do that?" asked Axel.
Gina's drawn card was the 'Fusion Sage' Spell Card. After a few seconds staring at the drawn card, Gina looked to her Summoned monster.
"I activate 'Lunalight Kaleido Chick's' abilità speciale!" The brown-haired Italian girl announced. "By-a sending una Monster Card from either the-a Deck or-a Extra Deck to the-a Graveyard, it can be-a treated as the-a monster in-a question!"
On cue, the 'Lunalight Panther Dancer' Fusion Monster Card flipped face-up and revealed itself before fading away in a blue streak.
"So my-a 'Panther Dancer' goes-a back to-a the Graveyard." continued Gina, before finally holding out another card. "I-a then activate 'Fusion Sage' to-a add una copy of-a 'Polymerization' from my-a Deck to my-a hand!"
A card slipped out of Gina's Deck, which she took hold of and held out to activate almost immediately.
"I activate 'Polymerization'! With-a it, I will-a fuse-a 'Lunalight Kaleido Chick' with-a both 'Lunalight Black Sheep' and-a 'Lunalight White Rabbit' in my-a hand!"
Both mentioned monsters appeared on the field briefly before fusing together with 'Lunalight Kaleido Chick'.
"I Fusion Summon my-a ace monster - 'Lunalight Leo Dancer'..." declared Gina, with the Fusion Sequence soon coming to an end. "Come-a forth, and show-a everyone here that-a you are-a the best!"
Appearing onto the field from a beam of light, was a brand new beast dancer-like monster—this time, resembling a lion with a sword (Level: 10/ATK: 3500/DEF: 3000).
"'Lunalight Leo Dancer'..." whispered Axel.
In the audience...
"'Lunalight Leo Dancer'..." came Darwin.
"Part human... part lion..." added Gumball. "All I can say... is 'what the what'?!"
Back in the duel field...
"Finally, I activate 'Soul Release'!" announced Gina, just as the mentioned Spell Card materialized face-up on the field. "I can-a Banish 'Lunalight Kaleido Chick' from-a my Graveyard!" The mentioned Monster Card emerged from the Graveyard before fading away into oblivion. "By-a doing this, you are-a unable to-a play any effects or-a other cards for the-a rest of the-a Battle Phase!"
"That renders me unable to defend myself any longer!" cried Axel.
'Volcanic Doomfire' and 'Lunalight Leo Dancer' both gazed at each other.
"'Lunalight Leo Dancer', it is-a time for-a battle!" declared Gina. "Destroy 'Volcanic Doomfire'!"
'Lunalight Leo Dancer' obeyed, and, with a powerful swipe from her sword, destroyed 'Volcanic Doomfire' just like that.
"Impossible..." mumbled Axel (LP: 600). "And because of 'Lunalight Kaleido Chick's' effect, I can't activate the effect of my 'Volcanic Armor' Trap Card!"
"And 'Leo Dancer' can-a attack again!" added Gina, who then gave the command to finish the battle... "Direct attack!"
'Lunalight Leo Dancer' obeyed, charging at Axel with her blade and slashing at him with the weapon. As a result, the purple-haired Belgian boy stumbled back and lost the remains of his Life Points (LP: 0).
DUEL RESULTS: Gina Couillet wins!
The remaining holograms faded away, seeing as how the duel was finished.
"And we have a winner!" rejoiced Hank. "It's Gina of Italy!"
"Axel of Belguim did great, too!" commented Connor. "They both live up to their dueling reputations quite well!"
As the gathered audience spoke about the duel, Gina walked over to see Axel.
"So... Are we-a good?" she asked hopefully. "I... I really don't want to-a break up with-a you over such a silly argument we-a had."
"Don't worry." smiled Axel, nodding in agreement and to reassure the brown-haired Italian girl. "We're good."
This made Gina feel very happy. Soon, the two European teenagers leaned in to share a kiss, only to stop when they both overheard loud cheers and howls from most of the audience, most of which were coming from Gumball and Darwin, which was much to Belle's dismay.
"Okay, that's enough, you two." The magenta-haired woman scolded, leading her two sons along.
Axel and Gina both blushed in embarrassment from the other stares they were getting from the rest of the audience who wanted to see them kiss, realizing that they should do something like that when they have privacy.
"We should do that privately." suggested Axel.
"Hehehe... Yeah, we-a should." giggled Gina.
With that said, Axel and Gina, with their relationship fully mended, both began to set off for another part of the city while holding hands. Would they get into any other misadventures during their brief stay? That was hard to say at this point.
END OF CHAPTER 2
Sorry for the brief removal, I had to fix a big mistake.
