"Lance has been gone a while hasn't he?" Chloe asked Chelsea as she continued to swim through the lake, whilst Lance was about to duel Stanley the girls had continued to swim with a couple of them going to the hotsprings to relax.
"Not really, he's only been gone a few minutes by my clock." Chelsea shrugged her shoulders as she watched some of the other girls swim. "On the other hand if we don't hear from him for another ten minutes or so then we can start getting worried."
"Yeah, I guess." Chloe responded before flipping her hair. "Lance was about to ask me something when Makayla called out that a pervert was nearby."
"Oh, was he really?" Chelsea asked and Chloe nodded. "Any idea what he was going to ask?"
"No but based on his phrasing I think he was going to ask me out." Chloe responded as she leaned against the edge of the lake. "He started talking about how long we've known each other but didn't get much farther than that."
"Yep, he definitely has the hots for ya!" Chelsea responded with a grin and Chloe started blushing like a madwoman. "I mean seriously, why else would he open up a conversation like that?"
"I guess…." Chloe trailed off before sighing. "I'm just reluctant to make that big a leap, I already explained why yesterday."
"You'll have to make that leap at some point Chloe." Chelsea responded as she shook her head.
"Hey Chelsea, your cell-phone's going off." Beth called out to her and Chelsea grinned before swimming over to where the girls had left their cell-phones and clothes before grabbing hers.
"Thanks Beth." Chelsea responded before grabbing the phone. "Okay, two texts from Lance…." Chelsea trailed off as she read the contents before quickly swimming back to Chloe. "Chloe, we have a situation." Chelsea said before showing her the first text.
"Ugh, not this bullshit again, don't those bastards know when to call it quits?!" Chloe asked with a grunt of annoyance before getting out of the lake, Chelsea followed suit and the two girls started drying themselves with their towels. "We're off to check on Lance, we won't be too long."
"Wearing only a bikini and a swimsuit?" One of the girls asked and Chelsea sighed.
"Yeah, that's why we're getting dressed first!" Chelsea responded as the two girls finished drying themselves, grabbed their clothes and went behind a tree to get dressed in privacy. "Hang in there Lance, we're coming!" Chelsea thought as she started taking off her swimsuit.
*meanwhile*
What was Lance up too whilst the girls were getting dressed? Well he was trying to decide his first move having opted to go first.
"Okay, this hand isn't that bad but I've had better." Lance thought before deciding on a move. "First I activate the Spell Card Hand Destruction!"
"Wasn't that card just banned?" Stanley asked and Lance shook his head.
"You're thinking of Card Destruction, Hand Destruction is completely different." Lance explained before grinning. "With this Spell Card we each have to send two cards from our hands to the graveyard and draw two more cards in that order." Lance explained before picking up two cards and discarding them before drawing two more cards whilst Stanley did likewise. "But that's not all I'm doing, I remove one of the monsters I just discarded from play to Special Summon Inferno in defense mode!" Lance explained as he went to pocket Great Angus…..and quickly remembered that he was still in his trunks which didn't have any pockets. "I knew I should've gotten dressed before coming out here!"
"Lance, toss any removed from play cards over here." Chloe called out to him and Lance looked over his shoulder, standing behind him were Chloe and Chelsea who were now dressed. "We'll keep an eye on them."
"Thanks." Lance responded before tossing the card at Chloe who pocketed it. "And whilst I'm at it meet Stanley, he's the latest Orichalcos Duelist that those bastards have pulled out of their asses."
"Hey, I resent that!" Stanley yelled out and Lance rolled his eyes.
"Anyway please welcome Inferno to the field!" Lance played the card and the small red flame with blue eyes and a mouth appeared on the field (4/1100/1900). "But I'm not done with my Special Summons, first I activate Tremendous Fire inflicting one thousand points of damage to you and five hundred to me." Lance said before picking up another card. "But before that resolves meet a friend of mine, Achacha Chanbara in attack mode!"
"Achacha what?!" Stanley asked as the monster appeared on the field, it was a tall man in a red samurai outfit and a white mask with red lines down it with black haired tied into a bun who was wielding twin swords (3/1400/400). "Big deal, he can't hurt me any worse than your spell card can." Stanley said as both players winced.
"That's were your wrong, you see when Achacha is summoned this way you take four hundred points of damage on top of the damage you take from Tremendous Fire!" Lance explained and Stanley grunted as his life-points dropped to 6600 whilst Lance's life-points dropped to 7500. "Next I activate Rekindling, with this I bring back the other monster I discarded for Hand Destruction, Laval Forrest Sprite!" Lance played the card and a small girl with long flowing red hair appeared on the field, she was wearing a white and blue dress and was ready for battle (2/300/200). "She'll be removed from play at the end of the turn but that's not important. What is important are the facts that the removed from play effect requires her to still be on the field and she's a tuner monster!"
"Are you going to make a normal summon sometime today?!" Stanley yelled out as Forrest Sprite and Inferno leapt into the air.
"Yeah I will but not until after I tune Forest Sprite with Inferno to Synchro Summon one of my favorites, Flamvell Uruquizas!" Lance played the card and once the bright flash faded the flame fisted warrior appeared on the field (6/2100/400). "That just leaves my other monster and like Chloe I've added a few XYZ's to my deck, but first I use my normal summon….."
"Finally!" Stanley yelled out and Lance ignored him.
"In order to bring out yet another Achacha Chanbara in attack mode, as for why I'm not summoning him via his effect…." Lance trailed off as another twin sword wielding samurai appeared on the field. "That because Tremendous Fire was the only burn card in my hand, but I do have two more Spell Cards and this combo is a doozy, I activate…."
"Did he really just call his combo a doozy?" Chloe asked Chelsea as a large sweat-drop rolled down her head and Lance face-faulted.
"Can I finish my move without interruptions?" Lance asked with an annoyed look on his face. "As I was saying I activate Synchro Boost and equip it to my first Achacha increasing his level to four and his attack power to twenty-one hundred!" Lance played the card and the samurai glowed as his stats changed. "Now I activate my other Spell Card Resonance Device! Since I have two Fire Attribute Warriors on my side of the field I can increase the level of one of them to the level of the other." Lance explained as the weaker samurai's level increased to four. "And last but not least I use my monsters to construct an overlay network!" Lance explained as the two monsters vanished into white orbs of light.
"Is this turn ever going to end?!" Stanley yelled out and Lance grinned as he retrieved a monster from his extra deck.
"Just as soon as I XYZ Summon Lavalval Chain in attack mode!" Lance played the card and a large, metallic looking dragon appeared on the field, it was black and red in color and had flames surrounding him (Rank: 4/1800/1000).
"Hah! Joke's on you! That move overextended your resources and as a result you only have one card left in your hand!" Stanley pointed out and Lance grinned.
"Maybe but I'll set the card facedown." Lance said as he set the card. "And I'll activate Chain's effect, by detaching an overlay unit from him I can send one card from my deck to the graveyard." Lance announced as he sent one of the Achachas to the graveyard and did the same for a monster in his deck. "But that's not all that move did, you see the monster I just sent to the graveyard is Laval Phlogis (4/1700/800) and when this guy's sent to the graveyard all Laval monsters I control gain 300 attack points!" Lance explained as Chain's attack increased to 2100. "And I end my turn at that."
"If I had known that Lance was going to take that long I would've stayed in the lake for a bit longer." Chloe commented as a large sweat-drop rolled down her head.
"That's not the only problem, I can't believe I'm saying this about an Orichalcos Duelist but he has a point." Chelsea responded with a frown. "He way overextended his resources with that move and I'd understand if he was in Osiris Red like us but he isn't!"
"You girls know I can hear you, right?" Lance asked with a frown as he waited for Stanley to make his move. "But you two can relax, I'll have this duel won in no time and we can head back to the lake!"
"I wouldn't get too cocky Lance!" Stanley said as he played a card. "I activate the Seal of the Orichalcos!" Stanley played the card and Lance braced himself as the infamous seal encased both duelists, soon the seal appeared on Stanley's forehead and he grinned sadistically. "You think you know something about Fire Monsters?"
"I like to think so, yeah!" Lance answered back with a confident grin. "Just look at my side of the field if you want proof off that!"
"Well you don't and I'll show you right now! I activate my Spell Card Evo-Diversity!" Stanley played the card and the Spell Card appeared on the field. "I can only use this Spell Card once per turn but since it allows me to search through my deck for an Evolite or Evosaur monster and add it to my hand I think it's worth the price."
"Evosaur, what's that?" Chloe asked with a confused look on her face.
"I've heard of them, as an archetype they aren't that well known." Chelsea answered with a frown. "I heard an Evosaur player entered Battle City but was eliminated early by Axel Loather; based on your reaction I'm guessing you didn't see that duel?"
"No, I only saw Axel a couple of times before the Semi-Finals and that was when we were either dueling or about to duel." Chloe answered honestly. "The first duel I watched off him was his match in the Semi-Finals against Mike."
"Now I summon the monster I added, Evoltile Najasho!" Stanley played the card and a small snake with what appeared to be a dinosaur's face appeared on the field, it was grey in color and had bat like wings and spikes along the back (2/100/2000). "And now I activate Evo-Force! With this Spell Card I tribute Najasho and use it to special summon one Evosaur monster from my deck like Evosaur Diplo!" Stanley played the cards and Najasho vanished from the field, in its place stood a purple Diplodocus with spikes running down its back (4/1600/800) and its attack score increased to 2100 thanks to the seal.
"That dinosaur doesn't care me! With my cards it'll go extinct in a matter of turns!" Lance answered back Stanley picked up his deck again. "Hey, what the hell is going on here? You said only once!"
"I did but this is Najasho's effect in play, when it's sacrificed for any reason I can special summon another Evosaur like Evosaur Elias in defense mode!" Stanley played the card and a monster that could best be described as an Amphicoelia that was red and black in color and had spikes all over him appeared on the field (6/100/2400). "And when he's summoned by the effect of an Evolite monster…." Stanley never got a chance to finish as the three teenagers started laughing causing him to face-fault.
"A level 6 monster with one hundred attack points? Seriously? That's gotta be one of the dumbest monsters I2's ever released." Lance laughed out loud as Stanley got back to his feet. "Forget Diplo, that dino's going extinct first!"
"Dinosaurs don't like jokes about extinction! As I'll demonstrate with their effects! First Evosaur Elias lets me special summon another Evosaur monster from my hand as long as it's Level Six or lower like Evosaur Terias!" Stanley played the card and another dinosaur appeared on the field, this time it was a green T-Rex with a single wing that was ready for battle (6/2400/600).
"I'm beginning to think that laughing at that monster's stats was a bad idea." Chloe said with a gulp. "He's setting up a rank six XYZ Summon!"
"Don't worry; my facedown card will take care of that!" Lance said confidently before turning around…..and seeing Evosaur Diplo charging towards it. "Let me guess, it can destroy Spells or Traps when it's special summoned?"
"Well, you are half right, that only applies when it's summoned by the effect of an Evolite monster!" Stanley explained and Lance grinned.
"Well, better use this whilst I can! I activate Reckless Greed and I use it to draw two more cards from my deck!" Lance activated the trap and quickly drew twice. "Obvious downside is the fact that I have to skip my next draw phases but I'll make do!" Lance added as Diplo destroyed Reckless Greed's hologram.
"Why would he say that his trap card would protect him when it's just Reckless Greed?" Chloe asked as she scratched her head. "It's a good drawing card but it's not a defense card!"
"Maybe he was bluffing." Chelsea said as she ran a hand through her still wet hair. "If he was then I hope for his sake that he drew more drawing cards with that card."
"That's the least of his worries!" Stanley said as his two Level Six Evosaurs vanished into white orbs of light. "As for why, well it's because I use my stronger Evosaurs to open the Overlay Network and XYZ Summon Evolzar Solda in attack mode!" Stanley played the card and a new monster appeared on the field, it was a large, ice blue pterosaur that was frightening to look at (Rank: 6/2600/1000) and its attack increased to 3100 thanks to the seal. "Don't bother trying to destroy it with card effects; as long as this monster has material attached to it you can't destroy it outside of battle."
"Wait a sec, a monster stronger than the Blue-Eyes White Dragon that can survive card effects? That's gotta be broken!" Chloe protested earning odd looks from Lance and Chelsea. "What?"
"This is coming from the girl who runs Silent Magician Level 8?" Lance asked and Chloe sweat-dropped.
"Err, yeah, I'll shut up now." Chloe gulped and Stanley cleared his throat.
"Good! Now let the fun begin! Solda, attack Uriquizas!" Stanley commanded and the monster took flight before piercing Uriquizas through the chest and bringing Lance's life-points down to 6500. "Now I could kamikaze Diplo against Chain but I don't feel like taking a direct attack so I'll set this facedown…." Stanley said as the facedown card appeared on the field. "And end my turn." Stanley added and Lance didn't draw because of Reckless Greed's effect.
"To be honest, you did me a favor by destroying Uruquizas." Lance said as he looked over his two cards. "For one thing Chain, despite being a Fire Type Monster, is a Sea Serpent type monster and second now that I have four pyro types in my graveyard it's set me up for my next monster's effect, I summon Royal Firestorm Guards!" Lance played the card and the strange demon appeared on the field (4/1700/1200). "And whilst Pot of Avarice is banned this card isn't because it's a watered down, no pun intended, version of that card that only applies to Pyro type monsters, in other words with this card I can shuffle four Pyro Type Monsters in my graveyard back into my deck and draw twice." Lance explained before grabbing Uruquizas, Forrest Sprite, Phlogis and Inferno from the graveyard and drawing two cards.
"That won't help you! My Solda is stronger than both of your monsters!" Stanley taunted him and Lance's eyes narrowed.
"I set two cards facedown….." Lance said as the two cards appeared on the field. "And end my turn." Lance announced and Stanley drew his card.
"Wait, why didn't he move Chain to defense mode? It may match Dipplo point for point but it's still weaker than his XYZ Monster!" Chelsea pointed out as she scratched her head in confusion.
"You're asking me? He changes his deck so much that I can hardly keep up!" Chloe responded and Lance chooses to ignore them and focus on the duel.
"I need to get rid of those Firestorm Guards before he uses them to Synchro Summon Uruquizas again." Stanley thought before grinning. "Then again he doesn't know about Solda's effect!" Stanley thought before looking at his drawn card. "I'll throw you a bone by activating Spellbook inside the Pot! Now we both draw three cards!" Stanley announced and Lance frowned before drawing three cards. "Perfect! Now I can bring out another XYZ Monster!" Stanley thought before playing the card. "I summon Sabersaurus!" Stanley played the card and a red triceratops appeared on the field (4/1900/500).
"Wait, that's an Earth Type Monster, why would you say that you know more about fire type monsters than I do when you run that thing?" Lance protested and Stanley sighed as Sabersaurus's attack increased to 2400 thanks to the seal.
"Look, I run Rescue Rabbit in this thing all right? And until I2 releases a Fire Attribute Dinosaur type normal monster I'll continue to run this and Kabazauls (4/1700/1500)!" Stanley answered as his two weakest dinosaurs vanished into white orbs of light. "But that's not important! I use Diplo and Sabersaurus to construct an overlay network and XYZ summon Evolzar Laggia!"
"Oh shit!" Lance yelled out as the new monster appeared on the field, it was a large ice blue dragon that let out a loud roar at Lance who winced (Rank: 4/2400/2000) and its attack increased to 2900 thanks to the seal.
"Now I'm fully aware that this thing is a dragon but that's not what you should worry about!" Stanley said with a grin. "What you should worry about is its effect!"
"I activate Bottomless Trap Hole to destroy Laggia and remove that thing from play!" Lance announced and Stanley grinned as he picked up the dinosaurs he had used in the XYZ Summon.
"Nice try but by detaching both of my monster's XYZ materials I can negate the effect of Bottomless Trap Hole and destroy it!" Stanley responded as the trap card shattered. "What do you have to say about that?!"
"Oh, not much, you've only done what I was hoping you'd do!" Lance answered back and Stanley blinked before it hit him. "This isn't my first time facing that broken card Stanley, I may not have faced Evosaurs before bit I did fight a Dino-Rabbit deck once during Duel Theory so I know what that card's capable off!"
"You…..you….." Stanley trailed off before screaming in frustration…..really, really loud.
*meanwhile*
"Did you girls hear that?" Beth asked the other girls as she relaxed in the hotsprings, the other girls looked around but shrugged once they saw nothing. "Huh, guess it's just me."
"CANNONBALL!" One of the girls at the lake yelled out as she leaped into the lake causing a pretty big splash.
*back at the duel*
"Ah who the hell cares?" Stanley yelled out in frustration. "My two monsters are still stronger than yours and like an idiot you left them in attack mode, Solda, Laggia, attack Royal Firestorm Guards and Lavalval Chain!" Stanley commanded and the two monsters charged towards Lance's monsters, Solda cut Royal Firestorm Guards to ribbons with his attack bringing Lance's life-points down to 5100 and Laggia burned Chain alive bringing Lance's life-points down to 4400. "Hah! This will be easy, despite that ridiculously long opening move which I'm convinced was done to impress the ladies over there…."
"Err; actually the taller of the two of them came out of the closet two years ago." Lance answered as he rubbed the back of his head nervously. "The other one…..I'm not even going to answer that." Lance said before activating his trap. "Anyway I activate Shock Draw, since I just took a little over 2000 points of damage I get to draw two cards." Lance added before drawing twice.
"No wonder you didn't move your monsters into defense mode!" Stanley grunted before picking up a card and setting it. "I end my turn by setting this facedown." Stanley announced and Lance didn't draw due to Reckless Greed.
"Okay, I lost my monsters but they are hardly the only monsters that I have up my sleeve." Lance thought as he looked over his hand. "Thanks to Spellbook and Shock Draw I now have a full hand, just gotta use it." Lance thought before tossing on of the Achachas at the girls and summoning Inferno again in defense mode.
"Summoning that thing again is the best you can do? That's too bad for you!" Stanley said as he detached an overlay unit from Solda. "By detaching an overlay unit from Solda I can negate the Special Summon off a monster and destroy it!" Stanly explained as Solda charged towards Inferno and put the flame out.
"I set a card facedown and a monster in defense mode to end my turn." Lance announced as he set the cards and Stanley drew his card. "Okay, there's only one more turn left before I can stop using resources to draw cards due to lack of Draw Phase." Lance thought as Stanley added the drawn card to his hand.
"I activate my trap card Wrath of the Dinosaurs!" Stanley announced as the trap flipped up depicting jeep being chased by a T-Rex.
"Okay, either I2 based a card off of Jurassic Park, which I wouldn't mind because that's my favorite movie of all time, or that's yet another broken card." Lance commented with a frown and Stanley grinned. "I get the feeling it has to do with the latter option."
"You got it! When Wrath of the Dinosaurs is activated I can target one Dinosaur on my side of the field and it's unaffected by Spells and Traps and I can declare a direct attack with it! And I choose Solda!" Stanley announced as the monster started glowing. "Now, attack his life-points!" Stanley commanded and the monster flew over Lance's facedown monster and stuck Lance in the chest bringing his life-points down to 1300. "All I need to do is activate Wrath of the Dinosaurs again and you're finished! But since I want to keep this interesting and all I'll have Laggia attack your last line of defense!" Stanley announced as the dragon breathed fire at the monster, revealed to be UFO Turtle (4/1400/1200) which was subsequently destroyed.
"I use UFO Turtle's effect." Lance announced before searching through his deck, once he found the monster he was looking for he summoned it revealing another UFO Turtle.
"Fine, I'll just negate that Special Summon as well!" Stanley announced as he sent another card to the graveyard and Solda charged towards the second UFO Turtle and destroyed it. "Why won't you give up?"
"Give up? I've never given up, not even once!" Lance said as he spat to the side. "Did I give up when me and my siblings where put in foster care due to my mom's drug addiction? No! Did I give up when I faced you bastards for the first time? No and I'm not starting now! I won't give up as long as someone is depending on me, either my siblings for moral support or the students at this academy who don't want a fourth student's soul to be captured!"
"They won't have a choice!" Stanley growled before looking at his hand. "I end my turn." Stanley announced as Lance drew his card.
"I can't let this guy get to me! I've beaten Laggia before and I'll beat his Evosaurs as well!" Lance thought before looking at his drawn card. "It's the card I got to replace Avarice, and I have enough variety in my graveyard to use it!" Lance thought before playing it. "I activate Pot of Duplicity! This is even more watered down version of Avarice but with it I can return three monsters of different types to their respective decks…" Lance said as he held up Chain, Achacha and Royal Firestorm Guards. "And draw twice in exchange for my battle phase."
"Like that would help you!" Stanley scoffed and Lance rolled his eyes before drawing his cards.
"Okay, I drew Ultimate Baseball Kid and….."
*in the duel monster spirit world*
"…..and what the hell just happened?!" Lance thought as he looked around his new surroundings, he was at the same temple where Theresa and Chloe got their dragons and also saw that he was dressed in his dorm uniform. "Hello? Is there anyone here?"
"I'm here Lance." Thestalos said as he appeared before Lance. "Welcome to the Duel Monster Spirit World."
"Say what?" Lance asked before looking around. "Look I can see why you guys like it here but I have a duel to win so if you could send me back that would be great!"
"You will be sent back but with the tools to bring down the Orichalcos." Thestalos said catching Lance's attention. "The third legendary dragon has chosen you."
"Me?" Lance asked as he pointed to himself and Thestalos nodded. "Is it a coincidence that the three holders happen to be from all three dorms?"
"Huh, never noticed that until now." Thestalos admitted before shaking his head. "Go inside Lance, you will receive further instruction once you enter." Thestalos explained as he pointed to the temple and Lance entered it without hesitation.
"Err, hello, anyone here?" Lance called out and Dark Magician Girl appeared before him. "Huh, the Dark Magician Girl, now this is very nice."
"If you could stop staring at my cleavage for a second Lance," Dark Magician Girl said causing Lance to blush before she pointed to a statue encased in ice with a sword sticking out of it. "Remove the sword and the Claw or Hermos is all yours!"
"It's that easy huh?" Lance asked and Dark Magician Girl nodded, he walked up to the sword and placed his hands on the hilt before he started pulling with all his strength. "Theresa, Chloe, you guys are great duelists but you need a man on your team, you know to even things out a bit." Lance thought as he continued to pull. "I can't fail, not just for the sake of the world but so I can proclaim my love for Chloe!" Lance thought as he freed the sword.
*back at the duel*
"Oh for fuck's sake, he's taking even longer than he did on his first move!" Stanley yelled out in frustration as Lance came too, Lance shook his head and, once confirming that he was in his trunks again, looked at his drawn card. "Are you going to make a move or not!"
"I am! And this move is going to rock your world." Lance answered as he played the card. "I summon Ultimate Baseball Kid!" Lance played the card and the young baseball player appeared on the field (3/500/1000).
"Hah, why would you summon him in attack mode? We both know that he's useless on his own!" Stanley laughed and Lance grinned.
"There's no such thing as a useless monster, even the Level Five Normal Monsters with under two thousand attack points have a use what with the advent of XYZs and Synchro Monsters combined with Ancient Rules." Lance answered before grinning. "And I'm about to prove it! I activate Call of the Haunted to bring back one of the UFO Turtles you destroyed." Lance said as his monster returned to the field and Baseball Kid's attack increased to fifteen hundred. "And now to bring this to a close, first I activate Double Summon and I use my extra summon to bring out Thestalos, the Firestorm Monarch using UFO Turtle as the tribute!"
"Hah, that's no big deal!" Stanley scoffed as the monarch appeared on the field (6/2400/1000); Stanley held out his hand and winced as Thestalos threw a fireball at it. "Ugh, that was another Elias!" Stanley explained before sending it to the graveyard as his life-points dropped to 6000. "Is that really all you can do?"
"No, I have one more card to play." Lance said as he played it. "Introducing the third Legendary Dragon….."
"No…." Stanley said as he took a step back.
"The Claw…." Lance said with a grin.
"NO…" Stanley yelled out as he started sweating bullets.
"…..of Hermos!" Lance played the card and grinned as Ultimate Baseball Kid vanished. "I send this card and Baseball Kid to the graveyard to activate the Equip Spell Card Ultimate Bat which I equip to Thestalos!" Lance said as the bat appeared in Thestalos's hands. "Now with this beauty I can activate an effect that costs me one thousand life-points…." Lance said as his life-points dropped to three hundred. "I can wipe out all your monsters and inflict damage equal to their attack points to you, now math has never been a strong subject for me but even I know that that's exactly zero life-points, in other words, you lose!"
"NO!" Stanley yelled out as Thestalos launched flaming balls at the two monsters destroying them and bringing his life-points down to zero, Lance collapsed to his knees as the seal closed in around Stanley and sighed in relief. "Thank god that's over!"
"And thank god you stopped him before anyone was hurt." Chelsea agreed with a grin as she handed over the removed from play cards. "So, we now have all three dragons and everything we need to stop them!"
"Everything except the time to take them on and even when we get time we'll need to figure out where they are and how to strike." Chloe answered as Lance shivered. "I know the Orichalcos is bad news Lance…."
"Actually I'm beginning to regret not getting changed." Lance said with a sneeze. "Typical, the one night it's actually cold here and I duel in my swim trunks!"
"Yeah, I'd better call the medics." Chloe said as she got out her cell-phone. "You know, just to be on the safe side!"
"Great, second chance to proclaim my love for Chloe tonight and I'm too cold to even think about it!" Lance thought with a frown.
*meanwhile*
"And we are thoroughly screwed!" Jack said with a gulp as he watched the end of the duel. "The guy didn't even get a chance to capture any souls Victor; he was too busy perving over those girls in the lake."
"Not like you ever did any different." Victor answered and Jack frowned.
"Hey, I never targeted under aged girls, only girls above the age of consent!" Jack answered back with a frown. "What now?"
"Get back to base; Dr. Schwartz has the machine ready to target Andreas." Victor answered and Jack nodded.
"Good, I'll be there soon!" Jack answered as the speed boat sped off.
