Akiza walks in and stops in front of Yusei

Garrett:(pain flashes through his arm) Urgh

Dawn: Garrett what is it what's wrong(grabs his arm)

Garrett: I think that were all being united together by these marks of ours

Yusei: You ready to duel Akiza

Akiza: Yes I am Yusei but don't expect for me to lose

Lazar: Miss Akiza director Goodwin would like to have a word with you

?: You can tell the director she's not interested

Yusei:(raises eyebrow) And just who are you?

Garrett: Is that suppose to mean something to me

Sayer: Wise guy huh just go and get ready for your duel Akiza

Yusei: Ready when you are Akiza

Akiza: Then let's duel

Yusei: You first

Akiza: How sweet my draw(draws a card) and I summon Wall of Ivy in def mode(3/300/1200) next I play a face down your turn

Yusei: Then I'm going(draws a card) and I summon Speed Warrior in attack mode(2/900/400) now his points are doubled(1800) now I attack with him

Akiza: Because you destroyed Wall of Ivy in battle you now get one Ivy Token in def mode

Yusei(1/0/0) This can't be good I end my turn

Akiza: Then I go(draws a card) and i activate the trap Cursed Ivy to bring back Wall of Ivy(3/300/1200) i end with that done

Yusei: Then it's my turn(draws a card) and I sacrifice Speed Warrior so I can play Turret Warrior(5/1200/2000) and thanks to his ability he gets all of Speed Warrior's attack points(2100) now I attack your Wall of Ivy again

Akiza: And now you get another ivy token

Yusei:(1/0/0)

Akiza: And because you sent Cursed Ivy to the graveyard you now get 2 more ivy tokens

Yusei:(1/0/0)x2 Man these things are growing out of control

in the stands

Dale: Uh oh Yusei's in trouble now

Garrett: Yup because when those little sprouts are destroyed he takes 300 points of damage

Leo: Oh no Yusei!

Luna: Be careful Yusei!

Dawn: No need to worry guys he'll be fine right(sits on Garrett's lap)

Garrett:(holds her) Right

Tanner: Let's just hope so

Yanagi:(sighs)

duel field

Yusei: It's your turn now Akiza

Akiza: I go(draws a card) and I activate the spell card Seed of Deception to summon Dark Verger(2/0/1000) now I sacrifice him to summon out Rose Tentacles(6/2200/1200) and this card gets extra attacks for each plant monster on your side of the field and to make things better you lose 300 life points every time my monster destroys a plant monster

Yusei: Great

in the stands

Dale: Well this isn't good

Garrett: Hang tough Yusei(lets Dawn sit in her own seat)

Dawn: Man now he's really in trouble

duel field

Akiza: Now attack Turret Warrior with Rose Retaliation

Yusei: Ahhhhh(LP3900)

Akiza: Now I attack again

Yusei: Ahhhh(LP3300)

a tentacle wraps around Yusei's left arm

Akiza: Now I attack again here's number 3

Yusei: ahhhh(LP2700)

a tentacle wraps around his legs

Akiza: And again

Yusei: Ahhh(LP2100)

a tentacle wraps around his right arm

Akiza: And now one more time

Yusei: Ahhhh(LP1500)

A tentacle wraps around Yusei's body and lifts him up into the air

Akiza: Look at you up there nobody can help you and nobody wants to. now you know how it feels to be me in this cruel cold world

in the stands

Everybody: Yusei no!

Garrett: He needs help I'm going down there

he runs down there

Dawn: Be careful Garrett

Dale: Don't worry Dawn he knows what he's doing

Dawn: I hope so Dale

duel field

Garrett: Yusei are you okay

Yusei: 'It's Garrett whats he doing here...wait a minute thats it. i can use Garrett to get to Akiza' yeah I'm okay Garrett

Garrett: Akiza why are you doing this to Yusei?

Akiza: Because he's just another obstacle in my way

Garrett: You got it all wrong he's just trying to be your friend

Akiza: Friend?

Garrett: Yes your friend I can be 2 if you would just let me

Akiza: I don't need friends

Yusei: I finally figured it out Akiza what makes you tick

Akiza: Oh really?

Yusei: Yeah you're upset because of the way people treat you so you hurt other people to make yourself feel better you enjoy other people's pain you like the way it makes them feel the way it makes you feel

Akiza: That's right Yusei

Garrett: But why Akiza?

Akiza: And for the rest of this duel I really plan on enjoying myself and Garrett

Garrett: Yeah?

Akiza: You're going to share in on Yusei's pain

Garrett: WHAT!

the tentacles drop Yusei on top of Garrett

Garrett/Yusei: urg

They both get up slowly

Garrett: Yusei are you okay

Yusei: Yeah, listen Akiza I understand that you were mistreated in the past but retaliating isn't going solve anything in fact it's only going to make things worse

Garrett: Yusei's right Akiza you have to let go of the past and focus on the present

Yusei: And it can all start by being our friend

Akiza: I'm not listening to you guys

Yusei: Then I'll make you listen by summoning Shield Warrior in def(3/800/1600) and by placing 2 cards face down it's your move now

Akiza: It's my draw now(draws a card) and I activate Ivy Shackles so now I can turn your warrior into a plant type monster which means I get two attacks this turn

Yusei: Uh oh that's not good

Akiza: Now I attack you

Yusei: ahhhhh(LP1200)

Akiza: And don't forget Garrett gets hurt too

Garrett gets slapped by the tentacle

Garrett: Ahhhhhhhh

in the stands

Dawn: Noooooo GARRETT!

Dale: Dawn relax he'll be fine

Dawn: No he's getting hurt(starts to cry)

Leo: Come on guys

Luna: You have to open Akiza's heart or this whole stadium is going to be destroyed

duel field

Akiza: Now I attack you directly with Rose Tentacles

Garrett: Do something Yusei or we're both in trouble

Yusei: I activate Card Defense so now by discarding a card and drawing a new one I can cancel out your attack

Garrett: Yeah that's it Yus

Akiza: Fine then I end my turn

Yusei: Which means it's my turn(draws a card)

Garrett: Come on Yusei

Yusei: Listen Akiza you need to forget about the past and focus on the present and be our friend like Garrett said

Akiza: But people don't like me Yusei all I do is cause destruction everywhere I go

Yusei: Do you think people liked it when they saw me here or Garrett or Dale for that matter

Garrett: Akiza we grew up in the satellite where you need friends to survive

Akiza: I already told you it's impossible for me to have friends because of my powers

Yusei: We know you have powers but you need to not worry about them

Akiza: Just go Yusei

Yusei: Very well then I summon Junk Synchron(3/1300/500) and now Speed Warrior returns(2/900/400) next I synchro summon Junk Warrior(5/2300/1300) next I activate Junk Barrage so when your monster is destroyed you take damage equal to half your monsters attack points now i attack your Rose Tentacles

Akiza: Ahh(LP3900)

Yusei: Now you take extra damage from junk barrage

Akiza: Urgh(LP2800)

in the stands

Tanner: Yeah that's the way Yusei

Leo: Awesome move

Dawn: Go guys please win(wipes away her tears)

duel field

Yusei: It's your turn now Akiza

Akiza: Then I go(draws a card)

Garrett: Akiza you have to listen to us about having friends it really is worth it

Akiza: I already told you that's impossible because of this mark

Yusei: You're not the only one with this mark Akiza

Akiza: Wha

Yusei: I have this mark too and so does Garrett

Akiza: Yeah I remember. It was you guys that dueled me back in the Daimon area that's when Garrett beat me

Garrett: That's right Akiza and do you know why I beat you

Akiza: Why?

Garrett: Because I wouldn't give up, my desire to save Dawn is what drove me to win that duel Akiza, my friends mean the world to me and without them I would be nothing

Akiza: I'll admit that's sweet but I just can't have friends not with my powers and the way my parents treated me it can never happen.

?: You don't seem to know how lucky you are.

Akiza looks up to see someone floating in the air

Leo: Whoa that's Iron Man.

Akiza: What are you doing here?

Iron Man: Was watching the Fortune Cup on a TV in my lab. Anyway, the two people you're hurting right now are orphans.

Akiza: (Looks at him, then at Garrett and Yusei shocked) What!

the rest of the stadium gasps

in the stands

Luna: That's awful(looks at the ground)

Leo: That's so sad(looks at the ground)

Dawn: That must be so hard on them(looks at the ground)

duel field

Yusei: I know it hurts Akiza but like it or not that mark is apart of you it's what makes you special and me and Garrett and everybody else here are here to support you

Akiza:...(looks at the ground)

Yusei: We have to find out what this pain wants and I think Garrett was right when he said these marks are uniting us all together because I'm starting to believe him

Garrett: We're here to help you Akiza

Akiza:(yells) nooooo I'm through with talking it's my move and I summon out to the field my Copy Plant(1/0/0) now I again activate the effect of my Ivy Shackles to make Junk Warrior a plant type monster which makes Copy Plant a level 5 monster(5) now i can bring Dark Verger back from the graveyard because I control a tuner monster(2/0/1000) next I synchro summon Black Rose Dragon(7/2400/1800)

her mark activates and a windstorm hits the stadium

Garrett: Ahhhh Yusei we've got to protect this stadium

Yusei: Yeah I know urgh

Akiza: Now thanks to my dragon's effect your monster's attack points go to zero

Yusei:(0)

Akiza: Now I attack you

Yusei: I use the effect of Shield Warrior to prevent my monster from being destroyed

Akiza: You still take damage

Yusei: Not after I activate Spirit Force it negates the damage and lets me put Junk Synchron back into my hand

the attack destroys some seats in the stands

fans: Hey do you know how much those seats cost me go home you witch

Akiza: I end with 2 face down cards

Garrett: Don't listen to them Akiza

Akiza: That's why I wear this mask it blocks out the world around me and makes it easier for me to duel

Yusei: You don't need that mask Akiza

Akiza: Sorry Yusei but I've made my choice(she puts on her mask, once more becoming the Black Rose Witch

Garrett: Come on Yusei show her that friends are what she really needs not destruction

Yusei: I will(draws a card) I summon Junk Synchron again(3/1300/500) and now Speed Warrior returns to the field in def mode(2/900/400) now Junk warrior gets 900 more attack points(3200) now I tune Junk Synchron with Junk Warrior to synchro summon my Stardust Dragon(8/2500/2000)

Garrett and Yusei's mark light up

with Goodwin

Jack: So Yusei is a signer after all

duel field

Garrett: Yeah that's it

in the stands

Leo: Now why would Yusei do that junk warrior was so much stronger

Luna: It's like he's trying to say something to Akiza

duel field

Yusei: Stardust dragon attack

Akiza:(LP2700) It's my turn now(draws a card) i activate the spell card Magic Planter so by killing Ivy Shackles I can plant 2 more face downs and now I activate 1 of them Dark Tuning to bring back a synchro monster from my graveyard like Black Rose Dragon(7/2400/1800) and I also activate the trap card Wicked Rebirth so by giving up 800 LPs(LP1900) I can give my dragon the ability to re-spawn at the end of each turn so now I use it's effect to destroy every card on the field

Yusei: I use Stardust Dragon's ability to cancel yours and to destroy your dragon by sacrificing him

Akiza: Then I summon Phoenixian Seed(1/800/0) and now I'll sacrifice it to summon my Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis in attack mode(8/2200/0) now i attack Speed Warrior with my Amaryliss

Yusei/Garrett: Ahhhhh

Akiza: Now my monster is destroyed and you take 800 points of damage

Yusei: Ahhhhhh(LP400)

Garrett: Argh(drops to a knee) sorry Yusei I don't think I can do much more for you just win this duel

in the stands

Dawn:(crying) nooooooo GARRETT! Get up please

Dale: It's okay Dawn trust me Garrett knows what he's doing he's fine plus Yusei is down there to help him out

duel field

Akiza: I end my turn so now my dragon returns in attack mode and my Amaryliss in def mode(7/2400/1800)(8/2200/0)

Yusei: My dragon returns as well(8/2500/2000)

Akiza: Plus I activate Overdoom Line so my dragon gains 1000 atk points(3400)

Yusei: Then I go(draws a card)

Garrett:(in serious pain) This is it Yusei your last turn make it count

Yusei: Are you okay

Garrett:(stands up slowly) I'm fine just go

Yusei: I switch Stardust Dragon to def mode so i can activate Prevention Star this card lets me prevent 1 of your monsters from attacking and I choose your Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis

Akiza: I activate my trap card Synchro Back so now Black Rose Dragon returns to my extra deck but then resurrects again during my turn

Yusei: I end my turn with a face down card

Akiza: Then I go(draws a card) which means Black Rose Dragon returns yet again(7/2400/1800) now with her effect I destroy every card on your side of the field and this stadium with it

Garrett:(smiles) Yusei use stardust's ability I know exactly what your face down is

Yusei:(smiles) I figured you'd catch on I use stardust dragons ability to save this stadium

Akiza:(sobs) No she's gone Black Rose Dragon is gone but that means I can now attack you Yusei but you still have that facedown card question is can it save you. i attack you directly with my Amaryliss

Yusei: I activate Cosmic Blast so now you take damage equal to Stardust Dragon's attack points you would have seen it coming if you weren't hiding behind that mask

Akiza:(crying) Go ahead beat me Yusei then you'll forget about me just like all the others

Yusei: I wasn't trying to beat you I was trying to I was trying to save you

Akiza: Ahh(LP0) Yusei

Akiza's mask falls off and she falls to the ground crying

Akiza: That's right Yusei the Black Rose is crying

Yusei:(runs over to her) Akiza

Sayer: That's enough I think you've caused enough damage for now Mr. Fudo

He takes Akiza away

Yusei: What's going on? What's Sayer want with Akiza and why is my mark still glowing

Garrett: Yusei(walks over to him) look at all the damage that duel just caused

Yusei: I know and it's all because of these marks

Garrett: We need to talk to Goodwin about this before anybody gets seriously injured

Yusei: And that's just what we're going to do

Iron Man: Sounds good to me

MC: It's over. Yusei Fudo has managed to defeat the Black Rose and advance to the finals to face Garrett Hughes in what should be the turbo duel of the century
