"'''Alexis vs. David!!'''", titled "'''Asuka vs. Rabb!!'''" ({{Ruby|明|あ}}{{Ruby|日|す}}{{Ruby|香|か}}{{Ruby|ＶＳ|バーサス}}ラブ！！ ''Asuka Bāsasu Rabu!!'') in the Japanese version, is the twenty-fourth chapter of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' manga]]. It was first printed in Japanese in ''[[V Jump]]'' magazine and in English in ''[[Shonen Jump]]'' magazine. Both of which were printed in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Volume 003|volume 3]] of the ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' graphic novels afterwards.

==Summary==
[[Jaden Yuki (manga)|Jaden Yuki]] is relieved at [[Reggie MacKenzie]]'s defeat, as he won't need to face her in a [[Shadow Game]], but realizes that he still may end up dueling [[David Rabb]]. David is surprised that Reggie lost, and she responds that everyone has a bad day sometimes. She warns him to be careful during his duel with [[Alexis Rhodes (manga)|Alexis Rhodes]], and to work hard to get his payback. He asks what she means, and she simply says he couldn't afford to lose to "his little sister" as well, implying the [[Atticus Rhodes (manga)|Atticus Rhodes]] had defeated David in the past.

[[Bastion Misawa (manga)|Bastion Misawa]] is cheered as he leaves the arena, and Alexis congratulates him on his victory in the hallway, and vows to defeat David. Alexis goes first, and [[Draw a card|draw]]s "[[Ice Master (manga)|Ice Master]]". She's pleased to see she has the necessary cards in her [[hand]] to quickly Summon it. She [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Cold Enchanter (manga)|Cold Enchanter]]" in [[Attack Position]] and [[Set]]s two cards. David seems pleased with his own hand, and draws "[[The Big Saturn (manga)|The Big Saturn]]". [[Syrus Truesdale (manga)|Syrus Truesdale]] warns Jaden that David had asked him about [[Duel Monster Spirits|card spirits]] previously, and urges him to be careful, which makes Jaden even more worried. David [[activate]]s "[[Replacement Parts]]", [[send]]ing a [[Machine]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Card|monster]] in his hand to the [[Graveyard]] to add [[Level]] 4 or lower Machine-Type one from his [[Main Deck|Deck]] to his hand. He then Normal Summons "[[Pandora (card)|Pandora]]". He then plays "[[Prototype Development]]", which lets him [[Tribute]] "Pandora" to [[Special Summon]] a Machine-Type monster from his Graveyard. He Summons "The Big Saturn" in Attack Position. [[Chancellor Sheppard (manga)|Chancellor Sheppard]] is glad to get confirmation of what [[Zane Truesdale (manga)|Zane Truesdale]] told him earlier - the American students possess cards from the "[[Legendary Planet]]s" series. Reggie comments that she may have motivated David to much.

David attacks with "Saturn" and Alexis activates her [[face-down]] "[[Blizzard Wall]]", switching "Cold Enchanter" to [[Defense Position]]. David activates the [[Quick-Play Spell Card]] "[[Aftershock]]", which will grant his Machine-Types the [[piercing]] ability for the remainder of the turn. Alexis takes 1600 damage and "Cold Enchanter" is [[destroy]]ed. This lets her activate the other effect of "Blizzard Wall" - "Saturn" now gains an [[Ice Counter]]. Alexis wasn't expecting such a powerful monster so early on, but has "[[Absolute Zero Barrier]]" in her hand, so she's confident she can stall on her next few turns. Alexis' other Set card, "[[Doble Passe (manga)|Doble Passe]]" appears to have activated on its own, and David explains that he played "[[Forced Activation]]", which activated her card via its effect. He activates "[[Backfire (manga)|Backfire]]", which changes the effect of "Doble Passe" "destroy one monster on the [[field]]. "Saturn" is destroyed, and its effect activates, causing both players to take damage equal to its [[ATK]] Alexis takes 2800 damage, reducing her to zero [[LP|Life Points]], but David survives with 1200. Thus, David has performed a [[One Turn Kill]]. Alexis is shocked and falls to her knees, while David hopes that when he and Jaden Duel, he'll be able to take both "[[Winged Kuriboh (manga)|Winged Kuriboh]]" and "[[Elemental Hero Terra Firma (manga)|Elemental Hero Terra Firma]]" from him.

<u>'''Turn 1: Alexis'''</u><br />
[[Alexis Rhodes (manga)|Alexis]] She [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Cold Enchanter (manga)|Cold Enchanter]]" (1600/1200) in [[Attack Position]]. She then [[Set]]s two cards.

<u>'''Turn 2: David'''</u><br />
[[David Rabb|David]] draws "[[The Big Saturn (manga)|The Big Saturn]]". He then [[activate]]s "[[Replacement Parts]]", [[send]]ing "[[The Big Saturn (manga)| The Big Saturn]]" from his [[hand]] to the [[Graveyard]] to add a [[Level]] 4 or lower [[Machine]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Card|monster]] ("[[Pandora (card)|Pandora]]") from his [[Main Deck|Deck]] to his hand. He Normal Summons "Pandora" (1500/1800) in Attack Position. He then activates "[[Prototype Development]]", [[Tribute|Tributing]] "Pandora" to [[Special Summon]] "The Big Saturn" (2800/2200) from his Graveyard in Attack Position. "Big Saturn [[attack]]s "Cold Enchanter", but Alexis activates her [[face-down]] "[[Blizzard Wall]]", switching "Cold Enchanter" to [[Defense Position]].

The second [[effect]] of "Blizzard Wall" activates, placing an [[Ice Counter]] on "Saturn". David activates "[[Forced Activation]]" to activate Alexis' face-down "[[Doble Passe (manga)|Doble Passe]]" and uses "[[Backfire (manga)|Backfire]]" to change the effect of "Doble Passe" to "destroy one [[Monster Card|monster]] on the [[field]]". "Saturn" is destroyed, and its effect activates, inflicting damage to both players equal to its [[ATK]] since it was destroyed by an opponent's card effect (David 4000 → 1200, Alexis 2400 → 0).
