Emily was pacing in a hallway, with Hope watching her. "Emily?" Asked Hope. Emily kept pacing. Hope sighed, looking at a t.v screen, watching a duel between Alito and Seto Kaiba.

Turn ?: Kaiba

An unknown amount of turns have happened. Kaiba has 3000 life points, controls one "Maiden with Eyes of Blue" (0/ 0), one "Blue Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon" (4000/ 0), one "Blue Eyes White Dragon" (3000/ 2500) and one "Lord of D" (1200/ 1100), and has three set cards, while Alito has 1000 life points, controls one "Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus" and two "Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke" both with one overlay unit, and one set card. Kaiba tunes "Maiden with Eyes of Blue" with "Blue Eyes White Dragon" to synchro summon "Azure Eyes Silver Dragon" (2500/ 3000). "Blue Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon" attacks "Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke", but Alito activates "Cross Counter", but Kaiba activates "Counter Counter", negating "Cross Counter" (Alito: 0). Kaiba Wins.

"Are you freaking out about Playmaker? I'm pretty sure he will be disqualified" Said Hope. Emily kept pacing. "Is she ok?" Asked Akiza, as she walked toward the duo. "Well... I dunno. Seemingly, she can't hear me, the exiting match between Kaiba and Alito was met by her rambunctious pacing, and now I feel like betting on what will disappear first. The soles of her shoes, or the pavement" Said Hope. "I'm freaking out!" Declared Emily. "I noticed. What's up?" Asked Hope. "I'm going next" Said Emily. "... You shouldn't be" Said Hope. "They said that a later tournament match will be on today! It could be mine" Said Emily. "And?" Asked Hope. "I, ah, don't really have a good deck together... Or one at all" Said Emily, nervously. "Oh. Well, that's fine. Here. Take my first deck" Said Hope, as he gave Emily a deck box. "Your first deck? Wasn't it incredibly slow and horrible?" Asked Emily. "I have improved it over the years" Said Hope. "What about the deck you used in the Friendship Cup?" Asked Akiza. "That was a dummy deck. And not very good" Said Hope. "May I have your attention please! The duel that will be happening earlier then it would be is... Denis McField VS Akiza Inizski!" Declared the Anouncer. "... I want my deck back" Said Hope. "... You can't have it" Said Emily. "Great. Good luck, Akiza" Said Hope. "Same to you" Said Akiza.

A few minutes later, in the middle of the arena

"My my, Akiza. You look as stunning as ever" Said Denis. "Let me guess, I'm part of your timeline?" Asked Akiza. "Yes" Said Denis. "Great. I'll allow you to go first" Said Akiza. "Thank you, Black Rose" Said Denis. "Duel!" Declared the announcer.

Turn 1: Denis

Denis draws. Denis summons "Performage Splitter Artist" (1000/ 300) in attack mode. Denis activates the effect of "Performage Splitter Artist", special summoning another "Performage Splitter Artist" from his hand by paying 500 life points (Denis LP: 3500). Denis overlays his two level 4 monsters to XYZ summon "Performage Trapeze Magician" (2500/ 2000). Denis activates "Performing High Risk". If a "Performapal" or "Performage" is destroyed by battle while "Performing High Risk" is face up on the field, Denis takes no damage from that battle and can draw two cards. Denis ends his turn.

Turn 2: Akiza

Akiza draws. Akiza normal summons "Great Rose Knight" (2000/ 1000) from her hand without tributing by discarding "Glow Up Bulb" from her hand. The second effect of "Great Rose Knight" activates, special summoning a level 2 or lower Plant monster from her deck. Akiza special summons "Copy Plant" (0/ 0). Akiza tunes her level 6 "Great Rose Knight" with her level 1 "Copy Plant" to synchro summon the level 7 "Black Rose Dragon" (2400/ 2000). Akiza activates the effect of "Black Rose Dragon" to destroy every card on the field. Akiza sets one card and ends her turn.

"Huh?" Asked Hope and Denis. "Well. Come on. I'm waiting for your rebuttal" Said Akiza. "She's certainly... more confident then the last time I saw her" Said Hope.

Turn 3: Denis

Denis draws. Denis activates "Polymerization", fusing the "Performage Hat Tricker" and the "Performage Trick Clown" in his hand to fusion summon "Performage Trapeze Force Witch" (2400/ 1800). The effect of "Performage Trick Clown" activates, and Denis choses to special summon "Performage Trapeze Magician" from his graveyard. "Performage Trapeze Force Witch" attacks Akiza directly, but Akiza activates her face down "Replantation", as she has two plant type monsters in her graveyard, she can special summon a monster from her graveyard by banishing one plant from her deck. She banishes "Witch of the Black Rose" to special summon "Black Rose Dragon". Denis ends his turn.

Turn 4: Akiza

Akiza draws. Akiza activates the effect of the "Glow Up Bulb" (100/ 100), sending the top card of her deck to the graveyard to special summon it to her side of the field. Akiza tunes her level 1 "Glow Up Bulb" with her level 7 "Black Rose Dragon" to synchro summon "White Garden Wyvern" (3000/ 2800). The first effect of "White Garden Wyvern" activates, special summoning two "Thorn Token" (Dark/LV4/Plant/400/400). "White Garden Wyvern" attacks "Performage Trapeze Magician". Akiza sets two cards and ends her turn.

Turn 5: Denis

Denis draws. Denis activities "Rank Up Magic Death's Force", ranking up the rank 4 "Performage Trapeze Magician" in his graveyard to the rank 5 "Performage Trapeze High Magician" (2700/ 2000). Denis activates "R.U.M. Drink", banishing the "Rank Up Magic Death's Force" in his graveyard to add another "Rank Up Magic" card to his hand. He adds "Rank Up Magic Condensed Numeron Force" to his hand. Denis activates "Rank Up Magic Condensed Numeron Force", ranking up his rank 5 "Performage Trapeze High Magician" into the rank 6 "Performage Trapeze Master Magician" (3200/ 2000). The effect of "Rank Up Magic Condensed Numeron Force" activates, and Denis choses to negate the effects of "White Garden Wyvern". "Performage Trapeze Master Magician" attacks "White Garden Wyvern", but Akiza activates "Garden Wall", since she controls "White Garden Wyvern", "White Garden Wyvern" cannot be destroyed by battle or effects during this turn (Akiza LP: 3800). "Performage Trapeze Force Witch" attacks a "Thorn Token" (Akiza LP: 1800). Denis activates the effect of "Performage Trapeze Master Magician" detaching one overlay unit to half Akiza's life points for every successful attack made this turn (Akiza's LP: 450). Denis sets a card and ends his turn.

Turn 6: Akiza

Akiza draws. Akiza normal summons "Tuner Seed" (0/ 900) in attack mode. Akiza tunes her level 4 "Tuner Seed" with her level 4 "Thorn Token" to synchro summon "Babalon, The Synchro Gardener" (2800/ 2100). Akiza activates the first effect of "Babalon, The Synchro Gardener", special summoning "Tuner Seed" in defence mode and making it a synchro monster until the end of the turn. Akiza tunes "Tuner Seed" with "White Garden Wyvern" and "Babalon, The Synchro Gardener", with "Babalon, The Synchro Gardener" second effect activating, treating it as a level 0 monster, to delta accel synchro summon "Golden Bloom Bahamdia" (4000/ 3800). Akiza activates the first effect of "Golden Bloom Bahamdia", sending every other card on the field to the bottom of that players deck. Denis attempts to activate his face down card, but since the majority of the cards used to synchro summon it were plant monsters, "Golden Bloom Bahamdia" automatically negates the activation, and returns Denis's hand to the top of his deck. "Golden Bloom Bahamdia" attacks Denis directly (Denis: 0). Akiza wins.

"Wow! Akiza's gotten some really good cards" Said Hope. "I know. That was so cool. Especially that last Synchro monster" Said Emily. "Golden Bloom Bahamdia..." Said Hope. "Hold on, Akiza! You don't have to leave just yet! For its time for our next entertainment duel! A fatal four way of a duel between! The Black Rose herself, Akiza Isinski! Senkou no Dueltainer, Hope Xiao Rose! The Calculating Duelstar, Playmaker! And the Duelist with a Perfect Record, Emily Dual!" Declared the Announcer. "Eep" Said Hope.
