I hear the people screaming at her with mean words and by the time he announce me… they cheer for me to defeat her. - And now for her opponent, the Mistress of the Crystals! The White Rose!- I open my eyes went I was already up and look at her which make me smile.
- Why are you smiling?- ask Akiza.
- Because, you remind me… of an old friend.- I finally say it. That make hr be shock, for some reason I feel that this wasn't the first time I have seem Akiza and either went I appear to protect Yusei and the others.
- That's nonsense.- say Akiza.
- And why would I speck nonsense went I'm like you, Akiza.- I say to her. She look surprise went I still smile at her.
- Like me?- ask Akiza.
- Akiza, everyone calls you the Black Rose. And they even call me the White Rose. We aren't that different, my powers can be very dangerous like yours, only if I lose control of them. But even so, I not seeing you as a monster. I see you… as a friend.- I say which make her lose her blank face to allow me see her truth feelings.
- Well, everyone this is what you been waiting for! A duel against the most powerful witches in all of history. Who will win? The Black Rose or the White Rose!- say MC, sometimes I just want to shut his big mouth already.
- Let's do this!- we scream at the same time.
(Laila: 4000 /Akiza: 4000)
- The first move is mine, I draw. I place a monster face down. And place one card face down. Your turn.- say Akiza.

- Nice move, Akiza. But as you can see… you can't attack my monster because it's more powerful than yours and if I not mistaking. The only monsters you can attack are your Ivy Tokens!- I scream at her.
- I'll take the risk. Now Rose Tentacles attack her Ivy Tokens! And because I destroy one of them, I can activate it's special ability which allows me to destroy the other Ivy Tokens!- say Akiza. Rose Tentacles attack and destroy the Ivy Tokens and for each one of them destroy I take 600 points of damage. Then it's three tentacles grab me and pull me up but I didn't feel pain and I only close my eyes and making myself be as Ice. I feel the wind be harsh went the tentacles pull me down and making me crush on the ground.
(Laila: 2200 /Akiza: 4000)
By the time the smoke clear I was still standing, but I hear her gasp in fear went I open my eyes. I look down and notice some ice under my feet. Then that's why I didn't feel the pain went I hit the floor.

Moonlight Fairy Dragon ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Level 7
- Too bad that your dragon can't have a power bonus because your Crystal Castle can only work with Crystal monster if I'm not mistaking.- say Akiza.
- Who said that I was planning to make my dragon increase it's powers.- I say to her which make her be shock.

- Not so fast! I activate the special ability of Crystal Mirror. Went it's flip over or send to the graveyard I can draw two more cards. And if those cards are monster… I can summon them directly.- I say while I draw my two cards and to my surprise, only one of them was a monster while the other was a spell card. - I summon out Crystal Horse! And because of my field spell… all my Crystal Monsters get 1000 attack points!
Crystal Mirror ATK: 1000 DEF: 0 Level 1

- Because Crystal Mirror already has o attack points, your ability can't work.- I say.
- Even so, your monster is still too weak. Black Rose Dragon attack her Crystal Mirror!- scream Akiza. Black Rose Dragon was about to destroy my monster until I stop her.
- I activate my trap, Magic Cylinder! This negates your attack on my monster and the attack goes directly to you!.- I scream. The attack of Black Rose Dragon was inside one of the cylinders while the other let it go to Akiza. I put my hand toward her and try to make the attack not be real but I miss.
(Laila: 2200 /Akiza: 1300)
- Why are you trying to protect all this people that have cause us so much pain?- ask Akiza and I was about to answer her went I feel pain in my waist. I fall to one knee and went I look at were it was hurting… I was bleeding. And because my riding suit was white everyone could notice the red spot, Akiza gasp in horror and also the crowd.
- You don't understand. Maybe they have cause me a lot of pain because of my powers, but… I'll show them that just because I have powers that could destroy… my powers might be very dangerous but it can also cure and save people if I not lose control of myself.- I say to her while I stand up.
- But your hurt.- say Akiza very concern of me.
- It doesn't matter. If I'm hurt or not… I'll always protect all these people even if I get hurt in the end. Because even if my powers look evil, I'll protect them with the same powers that they hate so much!- I scream at her and then my elastic bands were off of my hair. I show them my long light blue hair and my powers were unleash. The wind feel cold went that happen.
- I end my turn.- say Akiza.
- I draw! I summon Crystal Rose in attack mode!- I say.

- Now I tune my Crystal Rose with my Crystal Horse! From the chaos and destruction, the order and salvation comes! Come fort, Moonlight Rose Dragon!- I say while my monster appear.
Moonlight Rose Dragon ATK: 2800 DEF: 2500 Level 7
Both dragons roar ready to attack each other, Akiza was amaze with my dragon. It was very similar to hers, but with different color.
- I activate the special ability of my monster. By destroying it, I can destroy all the cards in the field!- I say while all the cards were destroy. Now the battle field was empty. - Now I activate Monster Reborn! So come back, Moonlight Rose Dragon!- and with that a strong cold wind appear. The snow came again like last time. The damage that Akiza make were frozen and later I notice that my wound was also frozen. - Akiza, I want to help you, but it seems that I'm not the one to do that. At least I want you to know that I'll always and ever be your friend. Even if we don't know each other so well. Moonlight Rose Dragon, take the rest of her life points.- I say while I let a tear fall from my eyes to the ground. Went it touch the ground, the hole field start to light up. Then what look like a tornado around us was fill with snow, Akiza see this and my Rose Dragon transform into a light wind that came directly toward her, but instead of feeling pain… she feel a nice breeze. She look at me very surprise and then the ice that was on the damage vanish and show that it was recover like last time. Then my own wound also heal and the wind stop… making the snow fall in between us.
(Laila: 2200 /Akiza: 0)
- This duel is over! The White Rose has defeat the Black Rose!- scream MC. I didn't pay attention to that because I walk toward Akiza and who seem astonish by that. I give her my hand as to shack it, she smile at me and took my hand.
- You know… I feel the same way toward you.- say Akiza which make me smile at her and later we took our own way out of the stadium. I notice that the blood that was on my clothes vanish. Then I'm prepare for my next duel. I walk toward where my D-Runner was and prepare myself went they call me. I'll show Goodwin that he make a big mistake to ever threat me.
