Chapter 14

Dark Garden

Third Person POV

"My draw," Akiza declared doing as she said. "I summon Wall of Ivy (Attack 300/ Defense 1200) in defense mode. Next I activate Seed of Deception. This means I can special summon one level two or lower plant type monster from my hand. And I choose Copy Plant (Attack 0/ Defense 0) in defense mode. Now I activate the effect of Copy plant to make its level equal to Masked Knight (Copy Plant: Level 5) and then I tune my Wall of Ivy and Copy plant to synchro summon your destruction. Come forth, Black Rose Dragon (Attack 2400/ Defense 1800)! Now I activate the effect of Black Rose Dragon to destroy all cards on the field. Go Black Rose Gale!" A torrent of wind spun around the field as the cards were destroyed with flower petals streaking across the air. One petal even managed to scratch Randsborg's face.

"Tis true! Thou be ith the Black Rose Witch!" Randsborg exclaimed.

"The Black Rose?" I heard an audience member asked fearfully.

"It's true! Only the Black Rose can summon Black Rose Dragon! And look, she even scratched him with one of those petals!" exclaimed another also fearful.

"Now I set a card face down. Then I activate the field spell, Black Garden," Akiza declared. A dome made of vines, thorns, and roses wrapped around them. "Now as long as this card is face up, any monster that is summoned through anything other than the effect of Black Garden will have its attack points halved and a Rose Token will appear onto the controller's opponent's side of the field in attack mode. Also, during my main phase, I can destroy Black Garden and special summon any monster whose attack is equal or less that the total to the total attack of the destroyed monsters. I think that'll end my turn."

Randsborg drew his card. "Activate thy spell The Warrior Returning Alive to add Masked Knight Level the Third from my graveyard to thy hand. Next I summon thee in attack mode," he declared.

"Well the effect of Black Garden is going to halve your Knight's attack points (Masked Knight LV3: Attack 750) and will special summon one Rose Token (Attack 800/ Defense 800) to my field," Akiza retorted as the token appeared on her field.

"I activate Masked Knight Level the Third's effect, inflicting 400 points of damage to thee," Randsborg declared.

"I activate Doppelganger. Now whenever I take effect through a monster's effect, you take the same amount of damage," Akiza responded. The response of the card knocked Randsborg's life points to 3600.

"I set two cards face down," Ransborg finished.

Akiza drew. "I activate Mark of the Rose and equip it to Masked Knight Level Three and take control of it during my turn. So Masked Knight, what do you think about joining my side?" she called over. The knight hopped over and bowed to Akiza holding her hand before it turned around ready to battle Randsborg. "Now during my end phase, Masked Knight will return to you. But during each of my Standby phases, control of Masked Knight will return to me. Now why don't you think you attack Randsborg my knight," she ordered. The attack hit and dropped Randsborg life points to 2850. "Next I activate the equip spell, Vengeful Servant and equip it to Masked Knight. Now each time he switches control, the controller receives damage equal to its original attack. And I think I'll end my turn meaning Masked Knight will go back to your side, but not before Vengeful Servant activates and inflicts damage equal to its attack points straight at you," Akiza declared.

Another hit from Akiza and more physical damage was dealt to Randsborg as his life points dropped to 1350.

"Activate thy face down, Level Change. Tis sends Masked Knight Level the Third to the graveyard to special summon Masked Knight Level the Five (Attack 2300/ Defense 1300) from thy graveyard in attack mode," Randsborg declared.

"Well, Black Garden, do your thing to halve his monster's attack (Masked Knight LV5: Attack 1150)," Akiza returned and another Rose Token appeared on her field in attack mode.

Now it was finally time for Randsborg's turn to officially begin having him draw. "Activate thee effect of Masked Knight Level the Five. By sending thee from thy field to the graveyard, I can special summon Masked Knight Level the Seventh (Attack 2900/ Defense 1800) from thy deck in attack mode. Black Garden immediately halved Masked Knight's attack (Masked Knight LV7: Attack 1450) and special summoned another Rose Token to Akiza's field. "I equip Masked Knight with Glory Shield. Now I'll have thy Masked Knight attack your Rose Token." The attack was made at the token. Though, it was not destroyed due to its ability, Akiza still took damage and her life points dropped to 1550. "Next I activate Glory Shield's effect, and now I can destroy a spell or trap on thou's field. And thy believe Doppelganger will do fine. Next thy activate the effect of thy Masked Knight. Tis inflicts 1500 points of damage to thee." Akiza's life points dropped to 50 and despite being in a tough situation, she remained calm. "I set a card and end thy turn."

Akiza drew her card. "I activate the effect of Black Garden by destroying it and all plant monsters on my field," she declared.

The field began to disintegrate and Randsborg exclaimed, "What kind of sorcery is this?!"

"Sorcery? No. Strategy? Yes," Akiza said. "Because I can then take the combined attack points of all the destroyed monsters and summon a monster with equal attack points. In other words, my Black Rose Dragon is back and ready to finish you!" Akiza declared. "Now I activate the effect of Black Rose Dragon. By removing Wall of Ivy from play, I can make the attack of Masked Night Level Seven zero until the end phase (Masked Knight LV7: Attack 0). Now Black Rose Dragon, attack his Masked Knight!" Akiza commanded.

The dragon shot burning flames at the knight from its mouth and destroyed Masked Knight along with burning and knocking out Randsborg who collapsed.

The audience grew frightened and yelled at Akiza, "You witch! You should just leave!"

Akiza came out. She and Jayla hugged each other and Jayla whispered, "You did well, Akiza. Don't listen to the people because they don't truly know you."

"Thanks, Jayla," Akiza said. "All I need are you and Sayer to be with me."

"Akiza, I will be staying with Yusei at night because he wants me to," she responded. "As much as I want to stay with you, and I really do want to, I can't turn down his request. But he said I could see you here and come to you whenever you need me. Sayer is going to make a communication device so you can immediately reach me when you need it. I don't want to leave you, but my dragon side doesn't give me much of a choice."

"I understand. At least we can see each other," Akiza agreed.

"I'll be sure of that," Jayla responded and Akiza nodded with a small smile. They turned as Yusei and Hunter Pace to make it to the field.

"Come on, girls. Let's head to the trailer for a bit. Talk there and Akiza, we can watch the rerun of his duel later. This way, you have time to rest," Sayer suggested.

"Okay, Sayer," Jayla and Akiza agreed in unison.
