Turn 1
Aki LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Yuya LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"Let's begin." Aki said as her red duel disk with red blade activated. "I summon Evil Thorn!"A green stalk appeared with two branches. One had a pink seed while the other had a black, thorny seed attached.
Evil Thorn ATK: 100 DEF: 300 Dark/Plant/LVL 1
"I tribute Evil Thorn to use its effect! I hit you 300 points of damage!" Evil Thorn exploded and seeds shot out like bullets at Yuya. He remained unmoved as each seed hit him.
Yuya LP: 4000 – 3700
"I sense a power from within you…. real damage." Yuya said.
"Yes and I need to get warmed up for the real stuff! Evil Thorn's other effect allows me to Special Summon two more copies from my deck to the field in attack position. Their effects are negated, so good news for you."
Evil Thorn ATK: 100 DEF: 300 Dark/Plant/LVL 1 X 2
"I set a card and end my turn."
"Well there is a difference between us two…. I don't need to warm up!" Yuya brightly smirked.
Turn 2
Aki LP: 3700 Hand: 3
Yuya LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I draw!" Yuya yelled as a heavy blast hit Aki as he drew. As Yuya drew, his vision went funny. "What now?!"
"Our transformation was never fully complete… we never dueled." Yuto who appeared said. "You never got the right to be the centre piece, I'm taking a turn!"
"Fool!" Yuya glowed and slowly he turned into Yuto with bright eyes.
"What on earth?!" Aki said in total shock. "Who are you?!"
"I'm your end!" Yuto said. "I set scale two The Phantom Knight: Skull King and scale five The Phantom Knight: Ghoul!" Two new Pendulum Monsters arose. A giant skeleton arose in one while a black grim reaper emerged in the other.
"Scale what?!" Aki said in total shock.
"Witness my new power!" said Yuto as the numbers appeared beneath them.
Skull King 2 – 5 Ghoul
"I can Special Summon Monsters from my hand whose levels are three and four! I Pendulum Summon!"
"Pendulum?!" Aki repeated, still in shock.
"I Pendulum Summon two Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak!" Two blue faced ghost appeared in a black cloak and a red scarf.
The Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak ATK: 800 DEF: 1000 Warrior/Dark/LVL 3 X 2
"I overlay!" Yuto yelled.
"Overlay?!"
"I Xyz Summon, rank three, Phantom Knights Break Sword!" A black knight with blue aura around its amour appeared. He was on a dark robotic like horse. He had a long sword.
The Phantom Knights of Break Sword ATK: 2000 DEF: 1000 Dark/Warrior/Xyz/RNK 3/OU 2
"I play Xyz Unit!" Yuto said as he played an Equip Spell onto Phantom Knight. "It gains 200 attack X its rank!"
Break Sword ATK: 2600
"I attack! Go Break Sword, wipe out an Evil Thorn!" Break Sword charged and slammed into one of the Plant Monsters, quickly destroying it.
"I play the Trap Ground Capture! This halves any damage I take and if the damage I take is over 1000 or more, I draw a card!" A giant hand emerged from the ground to reduce the attack. Aki's Monster was still destroyed and bits of the Monster hit Aki's cheek, making it bleed.
Aki LP: 4000 – 2700
"Since I took 1300 damage, I draw an extra card!" Aki felt the blood on her cheek "Real damage?!" Aki questioned.
"We both may cause real damage, but mine has the power to kill!"
"Kill?!" Aki said, the stakes of this duel just went up in her mind.
"You sound surprised. Isn't this what your organization does? You experiment on people, you hurt people!" Yuto replied.
"We only test out people! Once we're done… they erase the minds of the kids and put them back into society!"
"You really believe that?" Yuto smirked. "My Brother Odd-Eyes is way ruder then myself so let me explain to you instead…. In what way is erasing a kids' minds justifiable?!"
"You just said you wanted to kill!"
"I never said that I had to be justifiable! I'm a power more ancient than this world's time, I don't need to justify myself to puny humans! You're just primitive apes! I end my turn!"
Turn 3
Aki LP: 2700 Hand: 4
Yuto LP: 4000 Hand: 1
"My move!" Aki yelled as she drew. "Go the Field Spell Black Garden!" The field begun to change as Yuto looked around the room. Dark green vines appeared and made a dome around the two.
"Interesting." Yuto said. "I can feel your anger!"
"Damn right! I don't like it when people speak lies to me, like you have! I don't know what power you have with your weird summoning or body switching…. but I shall stop you! I summon Revival Rose!" Three joint roses emerged with eyeballs on the leafs.
Revival Rose ATK: 1300 DEF: 1300 Dark/Plant/LVL 4
"When a Monster is summoned except via the effect of Black Garden, my Monsters attack is halved and you gain a Plant Token in attack!" A small red rose emerged on Yuto's field.
Revival Rose ATK: 650
Rose Token ATK: 800 DEF: 800 Dark/Plant/Token/LVL 2
"I play the Continuous Spell Plant Fire and since I control a Plant Monster, this can appear. Tuning Seed!" A brown seed emerged.

Rose Token #2 ATK: 800 DEF: 800 Dark/Plant/Token/LVL 2
"If Plant Fire is on my field while I control a Tuner, I can tune a Plant Monster you control, but you get to draw a card." Yuto drew. "I tune one Token and Tuning Seed!" The Token went through the green rings as orbs. "I Synchro Summon!"
4+2=6
"Appear Splendid Rose!"A blonde haired male in a dark and light green outfit emerged. He had long vines attached to his back.
Splendid Rose ATK: 2200 DEF: 2000 Wind/Plant/Synchro/LVL 6
"Via Rose Garden, Splendid loses halve of its attack and you gain another Rose Token!" Yuto looked on silently as his field increased.

Splendid Rose ATK: 1100
"I use Splendid Rose's effect! I banish a Plant Monster from my grave to halve the attack of one Monster you control! I banish Tuning Seed!"
Break Sword ATK: 1000
"Now I attack! Go Splendid Rose!" Splendid shot forward the vines on his back and hit Break Sword. Yuto flinched as his Monster fell. Yuto's Xyz Monster slammed down, making a slight impact on the floor.
Yuto LP: 4000 – 3900
"Not bad… still weak compared to my power though." Yuto smirked. "When Break Sword is destroyed, its Xyz Materials attached return to the field but as level four!"
"But its attack is halved and you gain a Token. I set a card!"
The Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak ATK: 400 DEF: 1000 Warrior/Dark/LVL 4
Rose Token #3 ATK: 800 DEF: 800 Dark/Plant/Token/LVL 2
"And now my Plant Fire activates. Since it's the End Phase of my turn, all Tokens you control are destroyed and you take damage equal to all their attacks!"
"What?!"
Plant Tokens X 3 ATK: 0
"That's 2400 points of damage!" Flames shot forward and engulfed Yuto who yelled in pure pain, Aki grinned with delight.
Yuto LP: 3900 – 1500
Yuto fell to one knee, he smirked again. "No wonder they call you the Black Rose Witch!"
Turn 4
Aki LP: 2700 Hand: 0
Yuto LP: 1500 Hand: 2
"I draw!" Yuto declared. "I use Mystical Space Typhoon to remove your annoying Field Spell!" A blue typhoon wiped away the field.
"Fine but the attacks lose on our Monsters remain!" Aki yelled back.
"I summon The Phantom Knights of Fragile Armor!" A dark blue piece of amour which had legs and arms appeared. It lacked a head and instead had light blue aura in its place.
The Phantom Knights of Fragile Armor ATK: 1000 DEF: 2000 Dark/Warrior/LVL 4
"It's time!" Yuto yelled. The room begun to shake. "My true form! I OVERLAY MY TWO LEVEL FOURS!"
"What now?!" Aki said as the two Phantom Knights shot into the black whirlpool. Yuto screamed.
"Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose it with its treacherous fangs! Now, descend my true self! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank four! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" Yuto was surrounded by darkness as the mighty dragon emerged also covered in darkness.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Dragon/Dark/XYZ/RNK 4/OU 2
"What is this?!" Aki said as she took steps back. The room continued to shake as Yuto smirked as wide as possible. Black energy shot up and blasted a hole in the roof of the testing room.
"You're nothing compared to this power!" Yuto said. "I use an Overlay Unit to halve your Monsters attack and I gain that amount!"
"What?!" A orb disappeared around the dragon.
Dark Rebellion OU: 1
Rose ATK: 550
Dark Rebellion ATK: 3050
"I use Phantom Knight: Ghoul's Pendulum effect! I attach a Phantom Knight Monster in my graveyard to my Xyz Monster. I choose Break Sword!"

"I use the effect of myself again!"
Dark Rebellion OU: 1
Rose ATK: 250

"I ATTACK! Lightning Disobey of Rebellion!" The dragon charged up and shot forward to Splendid Rose.
"I playRose Blizzard!" Aki replied with a Trap. "This switches your Monster into defence and the attack is negated!" Dark Rebellion switch into a more defensive stance.
"I end my turn with a set card." Yuto said calmly despite his devilish appearance.
Turn 5
Aki LP: 2700 Hand: 0
Yuto LP: 1500 Hand: 0
"I draw! I now know what I have to do… I need to destroy you, you're too dangerous!"
"Just you try!" Yuto yelled. "You have nothing in your deck which can kill me!"
"I have this! I summon Copy Plant!" A small wooden tree emerged.
Copy Plant ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Wind/Plant/Tuner/LVL 1
"I tune my Copy Plant with Splendid Rose!" Both Monsters entered into the Synchro sequence as Aki prepared for her ace Monster.
6+1=7
"I Synchro Summon, Black Rose Moonlight Dragon!" A mighty black dragon with red petals around its body was summoned. It had a long black spiky tail.
Black Rose Moonlight Dragon ATK: 2400 DEF: 1800 Light/Dragon/Synchro/LVL 7
"You dare summon an inferior dragon on my field?!" Yuto shouted.
"It's not inferior, in fact it's better! I use her effect to send your Monster back to your hand!" Yuto smirked and then begun to laugh.
"Foolish human! You gave me this card thanks to your Plant Fire Card, and now you shall die because of it! Go the Trap Full Phantom Force!" Dark Rebellion was surrounded in purple aura as its eyes glowed red. "This doubles the attack of myself and I cannot be affected by card effects!"
Dark Rebellion ATK: 6600
"6600?!" Aki said in shock.
"That's not all! You're forced to battle me this turn!"
"What?!" Aki's Monster shot forward since Aki had no other choice but to battle. "Black Rose Moonlight, stop!"
"Your powers are nothing to us!" Yuto said with Yuya's voice also joining in. "The whole world will turn to ash! Starting with YOU!" Black Rose Moonlight shot forward and Dark Rebellion unleashed the lighting from its wings. The lighting was surrounded by dark aura which wiped out Black Rose as soon as it touched its skin. The Monster roared in pain and so did Aki, the same pain was felt by both.
"STOP IT!" Aki yelled as the top of her voice.
"NEVER!" Yuto clenched his fist and the Monster exploded, sending Aki through several walls of Arcadia.
Aki LP: 2700 – 0 Yuto Wins
"I see I'm more powerful than I thought." Yuto said looking at his hand.
"Yeah good job you fool!" Yuya appeared still in dragon form beside Yuto. "What about this Synchro girl I beat?"
"She's going nowhere; let's finish the job on this witch." As Yuto departed, Ruka opened up an eye once the room was empty.
Mina – Arcadia Storage Room
Mina in her yellow coat and blonde hair struggled to free herself from the chains that bound her to the floor. If she somehow freed herself, the chains would explode. Arcadia wanted Security to arrive and to free Mina.
Mina looked at her duel disk on her wrist and pondered as to if she should call Roget but she knew if he and Security came, they would all be doomed.
"Hang on! I can just teleport out of here!" Mina said. "Fools." Mina hit the button but an electrical current shot through her from the chains. "No! They must've done something to it!"
Ruri Yuzu Mercy
Yuzu and Ruri were able to help Mercy walked along the corridor as leaned on the two as they walked.
"What on earth do we do now?" Ruri asked. "This whole thing has been nuts."
"We continue to find Yuya and Yuto. That hasn't changed." Yuzu replied. A second later, they saw Aki fly through the wall and land right next to them.
"What the-?!" the girls all yelled. They looked up and saw Yuya who had changed back with his bright red eyes.
"Yuya!" Yuzu said.
"Your friend Yuya is not here." Yuya said. "And now we shall battle once more…. Ciel the angel leader!"
