Claire 4000 Akiza 4000: "I'll take the first move, so I'll set two cards and then summon Lonefire Blossom in attack mode." Claire said calmly. "Next I'll use Lonefire Blossom's effect, so by tributing a plant type monster on my field I can summon another one from my deck, and who better than my Gigaplant?"
"Gigaplant, so you're planning on using its effect on your next turn aren't you?" Akiza asked.
"Why wait, I equip Gigaplant with the Supervise magic card." Claire said calmly. "This lets Gigaplant use its ability right away, so I'll bring Lonefire Blossom back from the graveyard in defense mode to end my turn."
"Then it's my move so I'll start by summoning the tuner monster Twilight Rose Knight, and I'll use his effect to summon Hedge Guard." Akiza said calmly. "Now I'll tune level three Twilight Rose Knight with level three Hedge Guard in order to synchro summon Splendid Rose."
"Not bad, but Splendid Rose isn't strong enough to destroy Gigaplant and even if you attack Lonefire Blossom I can just revive it on my next turn." Claire said calmly.
"Actually by banishing a plant type monster from my graveyard Splendid Rose cuts the attack points of your Gigaplant in half, now attack." Akiza said confidently.
"Nice try, but when Gigaplant was destroyed so was the Supervise equip spell." Claire said. "Which means its effect activates to revive a normal monster in my graveyard, and I choose the Gigaplant you just attacked."
"Great, in that case I'll end my turn by setting two cards facedown." Akiza said.

"Hold on, Gigaplant's an effect monster isn't it?" Leo asked. "How did she bring it back?"
"Gigaplant isn't a normal effect monster Leo, it's a gemini monster which means under most circumstances it is a normal monster. It won't have an effect unless Claire summons it a second time once it's already on the field." Yusei explained.
"Wait, but if Claire summons Gigaplant again she can use it's effect." Luna said nervously.
"Exactly, those two monsters form a powerful combo." Jack said thoughtfully. "On top of that we still don't know what her dragon is capable of."
"Even the most powerful of combos can be broken with the right card." Kaiba said calmly. "This duel is far from over."

Claire 3000 Akiza 4000: "Looks like your last move was a waste of time, so I think I'll start things off by gemini summoning Gigaplant, and then I'll use Lonefire Blossom's ability again and bring Botanical Lion to the field in attack mode." Claire said confidently.
"Hold on, how come your monster just gained 600 attack points?" Akiza asked.
"Simple, for every plant type monster I control Botanical Lion gains 300 attack points, and since he's a plant type monster himself I have two." Claire said calmly. "Then again why stop there when I can use Gigaplant's ability to revive Lonefire Blossom again and bring his total to 2800 attack points."
"I activate the trap card Rose Curse, now since Botanical Lion gained 300 attack points you take 300 points of damage." Akiza said quickly.
"Go ahead, it won't change anything. Botanical Lion attacks Splendid Rose." Claire said confidently.
"I reveal my second trap card, Wall of Thorns." Akiza said. "Since you attacked a plant type monster on my field every monster in attack position on your field is destroyed."
"I play the trap card Orichalcos Thorns, this protects Gigaplant by switching it into defense mode and then you take 500 points of damage for every plant type monster on my field." Claire said quickly. "You managed to protect yourself for one turn but that's all you did."
"Maybe, but one turn could make all the difference in a duel." Akiza said.
"Well then let's see what one turn can do then, I set one card facedown and end my move." Claire said calmly.

"One turn is all she needs to turn this duel around, she's about to summon her dragon." said a hooded figure. "It's just a shame it won't help her in the slightest once Claire brings out hers."
"Yeah, you're right about that." Ricardo said in agreement. "Her dragon's abilities are definitely powerful. I'd definitely hate to go up against her."
"Exactly, and once she brings out the real dragon I doubt anyone other than master Dartz could beat her." the hooded figure said calmly. "Then again, she'd been hit by Rose Curse when Botanical Lion gained 600 points instead of just 300 the duel would be over."
"You've got a point, this duel as good as done." Rafael said calmly.

Claire 2700 Akiza 3000: "You wanted to see what one turn could do, so I'll show you." Akiza said. "I start by setting two new cards facedown and then I'll summon the tuner monster Copy Plant in attack mode."
"So you're summoning your dragon, I've been waiting for this." Claire said.
"I tune level one Copy Plant with level six Splendid Rose in order to synchro summon Black Rose Dragon." Akiza said. "Now I'll use Black Rose Dragon's effect, banishing Copy Plant from my graveyard in order to force Gigaplant into attack mode and reduce its attack points to zero."
"So that's what your dragon can do, too bad for you even if you destroy Gigaplant I'll still have 300 life points." Claire said calmly. "More than enough to beat you."
"We'll have to see about that, Black Rose Dragon attack Gigaplant." Akiza said. "That ends my move."
Claire 300 Akiza 3000: "Not bad, but it's my move again so I'll start by summoning my own Copy Plant, and then I'll use its ability to copy Lonefire Blossom's level." Claire said. "Then Lonefire Blossom's effect sacrifices itself to summon a second Botanical Lion."
"I was afraid you were going to do that." Akiza said nervously.
"I tune level three Copy Plant with level four Botanical Lion in order to synchro summon Black Rose Moonlight Dragon." Claire said confidently. "Next since I synchro summoned my monster, one of your level five or above special summoned monsters is returned to your hand, and who better than your inferior dragon."
(The duel between Akiza and Claire is underway and they've both summoned their dragons but Akiza's is about to be returned to her extra deck. Next chapter the duel will end. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
