"So, are you having any pre match jitters?" Asked Sayer. Akiza and Sayer were in a room, with a tank full of water witch Akiza was in. "No. I'm just trying to stay calm, not think about it. Besides, because Hope was rushed to the hospital during our last duel, I consider this our rematch, so to speak" Said Akiza. "Akiza. I think Hope is trying to throw you off your game" Said Sayer. "Why would you say that?" Asked Akiza. "Because. He may be pretending to having a crush on you to make your duelling skills weaker" Said Sayer. "You may be right" Said Akiza.

Meanwhile, in another room

"So, watcha doing?" Asked Emily, as Hope looked through his cards. "I'm returning my deck back to how it was during my first duel, with Akiza. Basically, no Signal Bikes or Shift Cars. Well, maybe Signal Tomarle and Funky Spike can stay... how about not" Said Hope. "Why?" Asked Emily. "Well, during my last duel with Akiza, the game was left in the state of no cards on the field. Basically, turn one is empty field" Said Hope. "Ok. Do you think you can beat her?" Asked Emily. "No. But I can try" Said Hope. "Well, that's very positive" Said Emily. "Yeah, I just hope I can stay this way" Said Hope. "Well, so do I" Said Ofies, through Emily. "Don't do that! That's scary!" Shouted Hope. "Sorry" Said Ofies. "It's ok" Said Hope. "Anyway, it's time to go" Said Emily. "Ok" Said Hope. Hope then left the room.

"And now, presenting Akiza and Hope Inzinski, to duel. Now, Akiza is a well known duelist and the spokeswoman for the Acadia Movement, while Hope is a lesser known duelist that has basically stepped out of thin air, with us only knowing of two duels he has been in, he passed with basically flying colours. Against Hunter Pace and in the Duel Runner Grand Prix. Now, let's get ready for this duel!" Declared the MC. "Hello Akiza. Do you mind if I go first?" Asked Hope, as he drew 5 cards. Akiza then silently drew 5 cards. "I'll take that as a no" Said Hope. "Get ready to lose, you lying cheater" Said Akiza, coldly. "Ok, someone's going through something" Said Hope.

Turn 1: Akiza

Akiza draws. Akiza normal summons "Twilight Rose Knight" (1000/ 1000) in attack mode. Akiza uses the effect of "Twilight Rose Knight" to special summon "Lord Poison" (1500/ 1000).

Hope activates "Pendulum Fake Charity", allowing Hope to draw until he has three cards in his hand by paying 1000 life points (Hope LP: 3000) since he has a pendulum scale. Hope sets one card and ends his turn.

Hope activates "Rank- Up Magic Numeron Force", rank up chaos evolving his "Number 39: Utopia" into "Number C39: Utopia Ray Victory" (2800/ 2500). "Number C39: Utopia Ray Victory" attacks "Black Rose Dragon", with Hope activating the effect of "Number C39: Utopia Ray Victory", detaching one overlay unit on "Number C39: Utopia Ray Victory" to negate the effects of "Black Rose Dragon" and allow "Number C39: Utopia Ray Victory" to gain attack equal to "Black Rose Dragon" (5200/ 2500) (Akiza LP: 800). Hope ends his turn.

"Wowsers! With one attack Hope has managed to take away a massive chunk of Akiza's life points! Maybe this will be another one of Hope's nearly flawless victorys!" Declared the MC. "It definitely will not. Akiza is just gonna bounce back. Next turn, I bet I'll be left with my pendulum scale and 1300 life points" Said Hope. "No. You will be left with nothing" Said Akiza. "If you think so" Said Hope.

"Well, it looks like Akiza has brought this duel to a standstill by destroying all cards on the field!" Declared the MC. "Well, I'm still left with nothing but two cards and 3000 life points" Said Hope. "So, you will lose. I say so" Said Akiza. "Well, that's nice and all, but something's different with you. More anger then usual" Said Hope. "Shut it" Said Akiza. "Well, anyway, I'm still going to win" Said Hope.
