Opening Theme: Rose is Rain
Scene: Scott and Veronica are walking through the halls of Ohtori Academy on a sunny Saturday morning. The air has a crisp autumn bite to it, although the weather is quite the opposite back in San Antonio.
Veronica: [bored] Isn't there anything to do around here but walk the non- descript halls?
Scott: [lasciviously] Well, we could always tend to the roses, my little Himemiya.hehehe.
Veronica: [glares sideways at him] Don't make me get medieval on your ass with the watering can again. Besides, what do we do about the duel taking place today? Juliana's just a child.
Scott: True. No matter how good she is, she won't stand a chance against Saionji. [holds her hand] Well, we've taught Juliana all we know.that'll have to do.
Veronica: [puts her head on Scott's shoulder]
Scene: Kashira kashira, gozonji kashira! Do you know, do you know? Do you know what this scene is?
A-ko: Well! Your garden is looking better and better!
B-ko: Why, thank you! But there's this one flower that just won't bloom no matter what!
A-ko: Oh dear! You know what they say about a flower that won't bloom. [a waiting Veronica leaps out from nearby]
Veronica: Aha! Trying to metaphorically insinuate I'm a bad mother, eh? Shi ne! [whips out a giant spotlight, vaporizing the Kage Shoujo] Hehehe...take that gozonji kashira and stick it up your ass!
Scene: Samantha and Matt are returning from the Ohtori Library with an armful of books on various subjects, though most notably on quantum mechanics and paranormal phenomena. Matt blissfully floats along in his ghost-like state.
Matt: So, I'm probably not dead then?
Samantha: [struggling with the books] I'd highly doubt it. There could be a discrepancy in your molecular make-up that occurred after you passed through the doujinshi, or the laws of nature could simply be fucked up.I mean, other than the fact that we're in a two-dimensional world that shouldn't exist.
Matt: However, if I am a ghost, I must have some unfinished business left to do. [scratches his head] But why would it be here?!
Samantha: Dunno. Maybe to make sure you don't pass on as a virgin? Ohtori would certainly be the right place for doing so.[stumbles around with the books] Ne, little help here?
Matt: Huh? Oh, sure. [attempts to take the books, but, being of no solid matter, only winds up in Samantha dumping them all to the ground]
Samantha: [stares at the books dejectedly] Nyo.I dun wanna pick all those up again. [stoops to gather the books]
Matt: Hey, let's go bowling!
Samantha: [anime fall] Not now, Matt, we've got things to do! Besides, where could we possibly go bowling at Ohtori? [begins balancing the large piles of books again]
Matt: [points to the looming building in front of them] Um.right there?
Samantha: [eyes wide] No way.
~*Commercial Break*~
Scene: Outside the Ohtori Bowl. Samantha and Matt stare speechlessly at the strange architecture of the building. It looks normal enough (for Ohtori), but the entrance is an exact replica of the rose gate leading to the stairs in the dueling arena.
Samantha: .Should we go in?
Matt: For once in my life, I actually don't feel like bowling anymore. In fact, this is creeping me out. [comes to a realization] Oh crap, isn't the duel between Juliana and Saionji this afternoon?
Samantha: [shakes her head to clear it] Y-yeah, we'd better get over to the arena. Besides, I wouldn't want to bowl in an alley that my koibito wasn't in.
Scene: The Arena of Duels. Saionji stands at one end of the floor by himself, confident he will triumph over whoever his latest challenge is. Juliana, followed by Scott and Veronica, takes her place at the opposite end. Ironically, her duelist's outfit is a deep forest green vest, gold epaulets, and white slacks. Scott and Veronica are clad in their respective clothing, a bold blue duelist's uniform and turquoise Rose Bride dress. Scott tilts Veronica back in his arms and a sphere of light emerges from her chest. He places his hand over the light and summons forth her spirit sword. Juliana places her small hand on the hilt and, with some help from her father, draws the sword from Veronica's chest.
Saionji: Hmph, so you're my challenge? Cute .but I'll show you the meaning of true power! [shouts to someone offscreen] Bride of the Rose, come and do your duty! [Scott sharply sucks in his breath in anticipation as a young girl of about fifteen wearing a deep crimson Rose Bride dress walks over to Saionji's side]
Laura: [chanting] O Roses of the noble Prince, yield to my will and reveal to us now. [Saionji slowly draws the Sword of Dios from her chest]
Saionji and Laura: .the Power to Revolutionize the World! ["The Solitary Existence of the Petite Universe: A History" plays in the background.]
A small existence at the bottom of a hermetic dish Kushpadme, the dragon's child; The natural magic in hereditary ages. "I am here. For smallness, I am here."
[Saionji immediately has the upper hand due to his overpowering skill, but Juliana fights back more fiercely than expected.]
Matt: A new Rose Bride? Is that possible?
Samantha: It's Akio. He can do what he wants, I guess. [muttering] She sure does look familiar, though.
Prehistoric appendix of destiny; Mystification's child Repeating the birth of life. "I am here. For subtlety, I am here."
[Juliana is very persistent in her battle with Slappy. She begins to advance on him now, her grimly determined smile now changing into a slightly malicious grin.]
Saionji: [somewhat surprised] G-give it up, you can't win!
Juliana: Don't underestimate me!
Veronica: Woo hoo! Kick his ass, Juliana!
Scott: [sweatdrop] Yare yare.
Design and Eccentricity and Mutation and Frenzied work Unknowing Immoral Uncalculated Unrefined
[Saionji, in true Saionji fashion, kicks Juliana in the gut, sending her flying. Scott and Veronica are enraged as they rush Saionji, but it's too late. He has his foot planted firmly on Juliana, pinning her to the ground as he neatly plucks her rose from the vest pocket with his own fingers. Bells ring signaling the end of the duel.]
The cave, Rudolph Labyrintos In the domain of pure thought. The cave, Rudolph Labyrintos In the domain of poetic creation. The cave, Rudolph Labyrintos In the domain of failed experiments. The cave, Rudolph Labyrintos In the domain of silent mentality.
Scott: You bastard!
Saionji: [smirking] I told you there was no chance for your victory. I guess you won't underestimate me next time, ne? [walks off in Laura's direction where Veronica stands arguing with her]
The timbre of the flageolet Secondhand, as it becomes melting air. "I am here, A breath in a water droplet-theater As I turn to vapor in this petite opera."
Veronica: How the hell is that not against the rules?!
Laura: The Victor is the one who cuts off their opponent's rose first. I will not repeat myself.
Veronica: [slaps her] Bitch. Now I can see understand why people constantly abuse you.
Solitude! Yes! Solitude, solitude, solitude, solitude......
Saionji: [calls her] Laura! Come tend to your Victor!
Laura: [glares at Veronica]
Saionji: NOW!
Laura: [turns and hurries to his side] Sumimasen, Saionji-sama.
Scene: Later that evening at Juliana's dorm. Scott has just tucked a sound asleep Juliana into bed. He goes downstairs to join the others in the now deserted dining room.
Veronica: How is she?
Scott: Out like a light. It's not surprising, though. A duel with Saionji would tire anyone out.
Matt: [angry] Yeah, especially if he was cowardly enough to resort to the methods he did! He has no honor.
Samantha: [leans her chair back] So, the first duel is over.and yet we have no leads as to who the other Duelists are.
Scott: [sighs] Let's just take a break from thinking for now. We got through the day, that's all that matters. Next time, however.
Sierra: [appears in the doorway] Next time I won't lose.
Preview of Next Episode Veronica: Huh? Two kids?! Scott!
Scott: Iya, it's not my fault! Two to tango, y'know.
Samantha: Heeheehee, looks like you guys have really got your hands full, ne?
Scott and Veronica: Urusai!
Matt: [sweatdrop] Sierra makes up in size for what her little sister lacks, but they both possess a fiery will to win. Will Saionji be prepared for the older of the Bradford sisters?
Samantha: Next time on "Shoujo Kakumei Utena": The Cresting Mountains.
Scott and Veronica: [continue arguing, oblivious to their cue]
Samantha: [clears her throat loudly] Guys? [no response] Guys!
Scott and Veronica: Zettai Unmei: Mokushiroku!! Now piss off! [go back to arguing]
Closing Theme: Toki ni Ai wa
Author's Notes: Yay, I finished the third episode! It only took me fifty million years, but it turned out rather well. In the coming episodes, more characters (new and old) will be revealed. As always, comments, flames, and MSTs are always accepted!
