Crow's Pov

Ok. I got this.

I have to duel Crystal and I have to win. 

If I do then maybe we can get her back and help her gain her eye sight back. If I don't then Jack will kick my butt. 

"You gonna start this or should I?" Crystal said as she passed me.

Dang her runner is fast. If Jack doesn't totally kick Sayer's ass, I should ask him to tune up my runner. 

I smirked and said "Ladies first." 

"What a gentlemen. And Sayer said you were a lazy punk." She said.

I laughed and said "He ain't wrong. He really said that?"

He smiled and said "No. It was me."

Her smile widened and she said "But thanks for confirming."

"Huh?" I blinked in surprise and then smiled. Sayer may have taken her sight and brainwashed her but at least he left her humor. 

We rounded a corner and she said "Well let's not waste time talking. Let's do this."

She drew a card and she said "I summon out The basilisk in attack mode. Then I play the spell card The Seal of Orichalcos."

"A lizard and a spell card? Sad." I said.

"What's sad is your manors. Never be mean to a lady Crow." She said.

I smiled and said "Good to know. You seen one lately?"

She frowned and said "With the spell card I can add 500 attack points to my monster and you know what that means, don't ya?"

Unfortunately I did. 

"This means that my monster gains 500 attack points." She said.

Super.

"I will place one face down and end my turn." She said.

"Great. Now that Medusa has her snakes out of the way. I can bring out my big boys." I said with a smile. 

I looked at my cards and I was pleased with my choices. 

"I play the card Blackwing - Fane the Steel Chain in attack mode. And while I'm at it I'll bring out Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind." 

I smiled and said "I know activate Blackwing - Fane the Steel Chain's special ability, which allows my monster to attack you directly."

I thrusted out my hand and I said "Go Blackwing - Fane the Steel Chain and attack Vicious Angel directly!"

My blackwing hit her directly and her life points went down by 500. Leaving her at 3500. She didn't even flinch at the attack. Which is obvious because of the tortures she's been through. It's no wonder it didn't even faze her.

I smirked and said "Betcha didn't see that coming."

"I'm blind, Crow. I don't see anything." She said flatly. 

"No thanks to Sayer." I said.

"What?" She asked confused.

I smiled and didn't answer her question. Now, all I have to set up a defense and I'm good. 

"I place two face downs and end my turn. Your turn, Angel." I said.

She looked back at me and frowned and said "Watch it, Crow. I just might get angry. And I don't think I need to tell you what happens when a physic duelist is angry."

She looked forward and she said "To teach you some manors, I'll activate my face down, Physic Summon. Which allows me to summon out Venomous Snake! I now take The Basilisk and My venomous together!"

Oh crud.

"I now syncro Summon King Hydra!" She called. 

Forgot about that monster.

"Now go King Hydra. Attack Crow twice with Rapid Strike!" Crystal said.

Oh double crud.

The attack was going to hit me but then I remembered my face downs.

I smiled and said "I activate my trap card Blackwing- Boobytrap! I put it up so I only get hit once by your Hydra and my card is destroyed and I only take half the damage."

I watched as my trap was destroyed and her other hydra's head came and struck me. I cried out as I have never been attacked by a physic duelist before and it hurt like hell. I swerved a bit and gained control. Now I was at 2500.

Lesson learnt. 

"That's all nice and all with putting your face down in the way but what did you gain from such a dumb move?" Crystal said.

"Oh nothing besides you taking 1000 points of damage." I said causally.

"What?!" She said.

She took damage and grunted a bit. I smiled a little as I made some sort of impact. I felt bad of course for hurting her but this is a duel. Pain is part of the deal. 

"You see, when Blackwing Boobytrap is destroyed and I control a Blackwing monster, I can inflict 1000 points of damage on you." I said.

She frowned and her life points went down to 2500. 

"There." I said. "Now we are the same."

"We are not the same." She snapped. 

"Maybe it's you." She said silently.

"Huh?" I asked.

She looked up at me and said "Nothing."

"Come on. Spill." I said.

"All you need to know is that Sayer isn't the man who you think he is." She said. 

I regretted the next words I said next.

"He took your eyesight!" I said.

I didn't mean to say that. It just slipped out. 

She froze and said "No. A cruel duelist did!" 

I blinked and she did too and said "Enough. I am getting fed up with this. I play the card double trouble. Which allows me to bring out two monsters as long as they are the same level. So welcome out Tree Nymph and Water Nymph!"

I frowned and she said "I tune the two together and bring out Queen of the Nymphs! I place one card face down and end my turn."

She looked back and said "Your turn Bird Brain."

I frowned and knew something was going to happen and that probably, if my feeling is right, means that I will lose. 

I have to do something and fast.
