1st Duel | Video (Action for Crystalden)

[succeedsatem]

(The video clicks on, and once again the image should look fairly familiar - a spiky-haired Duelist with a Duel Disk on appears after a few minutes, but his expression is a little more gentle and kind, also showing intensity and determination in his eyes. He's been traveling the majority of Crystalden since he arrived not too long ago, curiosity and awe in his voice while taking a bit of a rest.)

Wow...! If I didn't know any better, I'd say this was how Domino City will look in the future. Even these communicators look futuristic! Wonder if anyone from the gang's here too...

(Yugi laughs lightly while nodding firmly. While he would remember the name, he did have a reason to feel good - he ran into one of his friends, albeit from a faraway future time period.)

Of course, Yuusei-kun. (A brief pause before nodding once more.) It's alright - my best friend Anzu would say that no matter what, friends are always there to support each other through all the good times as well as the bad ones. I'm sure after the incident with Paradox, and when you're able to solve the problem with Yliaster back in your time, they won't try this again.

(Yugi said 'when,' not 'if.' That alone meant he was confident the situation could be handled by Yuusei and his friends.)

[ Yuusei takes note of that confidence, and Yuusei manages another one of his small smiles. ]

I hope that's the case. Neo Domino City will have a bright future, no matter what they say.

[ Because no one messes around with his city, okay. ]

How have you been holding up so far, though?

(Yugi can fully relax, pleased that Domino City thrives even after his and Juudai-kun's time has come and gone as long as Yuusei-kun is around.)

I've been doing fine. Spent most of the day walking around, getting used to the city and how amazing it looks!

It is pretty amazing, isn't it?

[ Honestly, Yuusei found himself quite taken with Crystalden when he first arrived - not only because it's where he can get the needed parts to fix up his D-Wheel, but because it reminds him a little of home. He glances around, taking in the sights once more as if he'd only just gotten there a few hours beforehand. ]

The technology here is more advanced than in my time... in some places, and in others it's on par with what I'm used to. It's kind of strange, but I know I can get used to it.

Yeah! It's wonderful.

(Yugi hasn't seen much that he would find back home, but the majority of Crystalden reminds him of Kaiba's virtual technology that was used for the Duel Monsters duels.)

It is gonna be a big change, but I'm sure we'll be able to adapt and get used to being here.

[ Yuusei manages a small smile at that as he nods confidently. ]

If we couldn't, we wouldn't be the people we are, would we?

[ Obviously, they can all take any challenge head-on without a problem. Such is the life of being a protagonist. Yuusei glances around a bit, then shifts a bit so his D-Wheel is visible in the background. ]

If you'd like, once I get my D-Wheel fixed up, I can make it easier for you to get around. I know the area pretty well already since I've had to track down some spare parts to get it even close to finished.

Exactly.

(Yugi's eyes widen once seeing the D-Wheel while realizing this was the way Duelists must duel in his time.)

Wow! I'd enjoy that a lot, Yuusei-kun! It sure beats walking, that's for sure.

[ And Yuugi's expression has Yuusei smiling a little easier. He'd forgotten that Yuugi's only experience with a D-Wheel had been extremely brief, and even then, he hadn't really... been on it, what with Juudai having ridden with him. So really, that was the Crimson Dragon's fault for the awful ride. ]

I can promise that it won't be the like the last time, either.

[ The Crimson Dragon just doesn't know how to drive a D-Wheel, that's all. ]
