The Thief #2 (Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal)

Chapter #12

Evelyn drew a card and put it into her hand.

"I summon Earth Dragon! (ATK 2000, level 8) I can summon this monster on to my field if you have an Xyz monster on your field and I don't have any cards on mine. Next I activate a spell! I can summon a Dragon type monster that's level 8 on to my field if I strip it of it's attack points and special abilities. So I summon Lava Land Dragon!" Evelyn explains.

"She summoned 2 level 8 monsters!" Jett exclaimed.

"Yes I did. And now I'm going to build the overlay network and Xyz summon a monster that can blast a planet out of the sky! A destroyer of world's! The ultimate monster of space, Galaxy Eyes Cosmos Dragon!" Evelyn explains. (ATK 3000 Level 8)

"This duel is ours guys!" Yuma exclaims.

"Don't be so sure yet Yuma. We still don't know Guardian Prince's ability." Astral explains.

"Yeah, but we also don't know Cosmos Dragon's special ability either. The first and only time we duelled Evelyn we never got to see it's special ability." Explained Yuma.

"Gr. I wish I could destroy one of his monsters. At least for his next turn I can use Mirror Mirror, cause he will attack me directly again. But he might not do the same thing in row twice." Evelyn thought.

Evelyn's standing there looking at the ground. Yuma looks over to her.

"Evelyn." Yuma whispers, he's concerned and he doesn't know what to do, and starts to tear up.

She moves head down more. She starts to shake, and grits her teeth in frustration. Evelyn's tears start to fall down her cheeks.

"Evelyn. What's wrong?" Kite asks, worried.

She doesn't answer. She just stands there, starting to cry silently.

"Oh. Is there something wrong?" Jett taunted. "If you want to give up, no one will blame you."

"Evelyn would never give up!" Yuma tells Jett.

"How would you know?" Asked Jett. "It looks like it."

"I know because we duelled! And that duel was 1 of the best duels I have ever had!" Yuma explains.

"That doesn't mean anything." Said Jett.

"Well I'm Evelyn's friend and I know that Evelyn would never give up! Especially when a friend is in trouble!"

Evelyn stopped sobbing. But the tears stilled flowed, as well as the shaking and her gritting of her teeth.

"I've duelled Evelyn before too! And all those times she never gave up! Even when I got a spider to win a duel, but she still won! I regret what I did. But that's in the past, and in this duel Evelyn will still never give up!"

The tears in Evelyn's stopped now too.

"You must remember that Astrid still needs you." Astral reminded them.

Evelyn's head shot up.

"You're right. Astrid does still need me. Astrid!" Evelyn yells.

*******

"Huh." Astrid looks up. "Evelyn is calling me."

Astrid tries to get up.

"Evelyn is.... in a duel. I need.... to go. But.... I can't. Evelyn doesn't have the key. I must let.... Evelyn know that.... I'm alright."

Astrid starts to glow blue.

*******

Evelyn's key on Jett's neck started to glow silver.

"What's going on!" Asks Jett.

"My friend is telling me that she's alright." Evelyn answers.

"Thank you Astrid. Even if you're not here I still have some great friends. Yuma, Kite, Astral, and maybe Shark." Thought Evelyn.

"Now, let's finish this duel!" Says Evelyn.
