-(As the announcer speaks, what remains of the crowd watches intently, including Tanner, Yanagi, Dexter, and the twins. Yusei's lifepoints stand at 1500, and his defensive Shield Warrior has 1600 defense points. Akiza's Rose Tentacles towers over the field, and she still has a full 4000 lifepoints. Rose Tentacles has 2200 attack points.)
+(As the announcer speaks, what remains of the crowd watches intently, including Tanner, Yanagi, Dexter, and the twins. Cortez's lifepoints stand at 1100, and has no monsters on the field. Akiza's Splendid Rose towers over the field, and she 3800 lifepoints. Splendid Rose has 1100 attack points.)
-Announcer: Welcome back to the excitement, ladies and gentlemen! Akiza appears to have Yusei Fudo right where she wants him! Can he escape the reach of the Black Rose's Rose Tentacles, or will his lifepoints get squeezed into submission? Let's watch and find out!
+Announcer: Welcome back to the excitement, ladies and gentlemen! Akiza appears to have Cortez right where she wants him! Can he escape the reach of the Black Rose's Splendid Rose that can attack him directly now, or will his lifepoints get squeezed into pulp? Let's watch and find out!
-Akiza: Well, Yusei? (draws) It's my turn, and I activate "Ivy Shackles"! And with this spell, (sic; trap) I can now turn your Speed Warrior (sic) into a plant-type monster. Before you know it, Yusei, your entire field's going to look like one giant greenhouse.
+Akiza: Well, Cortez I had a fun duel. It was quite the meal. Now Splendid Rose! Attack Cortez directly!
-(Vines wrap around Yusei's Shield Warrior. Yusei doesn't twitch.)
+(Splendid Rose went in and started shooting rose petals to finish off Cortez)
-Akiza: So with your Warrior now under the control of my Rose Tentacles, she can now attack you an extra time this round. You said I enjoyed other people's misery; well then I guess I should really enjoy *this*, shouldn't I?
+Cortez: I play the trap, "Draining Shield!"
-(Rose Tentacles raises its vines, ready to strike Yusei again)
+(A rainbow bubble shield covered Cortez and block the Petals from reaching him)
-Yusei (think): Oh, man. Even though my Warrior's in defense mode, he can't protect me from *both* attacks.
+
-Akiza: Now, Rose Tentacles, attack! Thrash his warrior! Go, Rose Retaliation!
+
 Cortez: This stops your attack and recovers my life points! (now Cortez has 2200 lp)
 Akiza: So you manage to stop my attack, but next turn I promise you that it won't matter. You'll still lose no matter what
 (Cortez pauses for a moment, then draws.)
-Akiza: Oh, and by the way, my Rose Tentacles' power doesn't stop there. Since your Warrior is under her control, you now take three hundred points of direct damage!
+Cortez: We'll see!
-(Rose Tentacles, by now, has a vine poised behind Yusei; it smacks him, hard, on the back.)
+(He drew the spell card Hyper Synchron.)
-Yusei: Ugh!
+Cortez: I summon Goblindbergh! And thanks to his special ability, I get to summon *another* monster from my hand! So say hello again to the tuner monster, Hyper Synchron!
-(Yusei's lifepoints are now 1200.)
+[Goblindbergh 1400/0/L4]
-Yusei: Akiza, listen! Don't do this!
+[Hyper Sunchron//L4/Light]
-Akiza: Huh? Don't do *what*? Attack you directly? Well I *don't* do charity!
+Cortez: And now I'm tuning my Hyper Synchron with my Goblindbergh to synchro-summon-- Stardust Dragon!
-(Rose Tentacles swings a vine toward Yusei)
+(Hyper Synchron starts the motor on his back, and his three stars fly straight up into a rushing void. four green rings descend, and align with Goblingbergh, transforming it into golden outlines, aligning its two stars...)
-Yusei: Then I play *my* trap-- "Card Defense"! So by removing one of the cards in my hand (Equip Shot), my trap's effect cancels your direct attack! And then it allows me to draw a new card to replace it!
+Cortez: Let's speed up!
-Akiza: It'll take more than *that* to stop *me*!
+
-Yusei: Akiza-- you have to listen, you can't keep dueling with this anger!
+(She looked surprised to see Stardust on the field again)
-Akiza: Oh yeah?! Well until you've battled in *my* duel disk, save it! I don't need your help! Besides You're in my way!
+Announcer: I don't *believe* it! It's the Stardust Dragon, Yusei failed to win with! Will this be no different when he attack uses it more efficiently?
-Yusei: In you're way for what!?
+
-Akiza: You're in my way of getting to him!
+Yanagi: It's Yusei's Stardust Dragon!
-(Yusei pauses for a moment, then draws.)
+Dex: Why would he give it to Cortez?
-Yusei: We'll see!
+Tanner: Maybe he gave it to him, so Cortez can beat her with it.
-(He drew the spell card Junk Barrage.)
+Leo: Well I say it's Yusei's way of helping Cortez so he would not be alone!
-Yusei: I summon Junk Synchron! And thanks to his special ability, I get to summon *another* monster from my graveyard! So say hello again to Speed Warrior!
+(Luna had a feeling that Leo could be right. She saw a image of Yusei with Cortez)
-[Junk Synchron 1300//]
+Luna: Cortez, if you're trying to speak with Akiza, please don't let it go to waste like Yusei did.
-[Speed Warrior 900/400/L2/wind]
+
-Yusei: And now I'm tuning my Junk Synchron with my Speed Warrior to synchro-summon-- Junk Warrior!
+(At the hospital, Yusei was still unconscious, but he felt Cortez had Stardust with him)
-(Junk Synchron starts the motor on his back, and his three stars fly straight up into a rushing void. Three green rings descend, and align with Speed Warrior, transforming it into golden outlines, aligning its two stars...)
+Yusei (faint): Cortez.
-Yusei: Let's rev it up!
+
-[Junk Warrior 2300//]
+Akiza: Did Yusei give it to you?! So you can be me?! Or did he give it to you, so he can mock me some more!
-Yusei: Next I'm going to activate the equip spell "Junk Barrage", which gives my warrior a power boost! Alright, pal-- now attack Rose Tentacles!
+Cortez: Akiza, Yusei gave me this card, cause he believe he can contact you with it! He finally understood that because you are after me, he entrusted me to use it to reason with you!
-(Destroyed. Akiza's lifepoints now stand at 3900.)
+Akiza: Why are you trying to pull that with me!? I can't have a friend! I want to be along! And all you are doing is giving me a reason for me to destroy you more!
-Yusei: And now the effect of my "Junk Barrage" activates! So as soon as my Warrior destroyed your garden-gone-wild, you lose lifepoints for each of Rose Tentacles' attack points!
+Cortez: Akiza, as much as I want to make you pay for this for what you did in this tournament, Yusei wanted me to help you see the truth!
-(Junk Warrior blasts Akiza again; Akiza's lifepoints fall to 2800. Akiza didn't even flinch.)
+(Akiza looked down to herself as she seem to be on the verge of crying)
-Yusei: Looks like *you're* up.
+Akiza: When I first met you, those whose hated me would usually run away. You're the first that hates me and wants to take me head on. I realized what I truly wanted. Someone with hatred that wants to fight me.
 Cortez: That's enough Akiza, I'm tried of listening all this about your suffering! I activate Hyper Synchron's special ability! When he's used for a to Synchro Summon a monster, the summon synchron monster gains eight hundred attack points! (Stardust Dragon now has 3300) Stardust Dragon!-- attack Splendid Rose!
 (Destroyed. Akiza's lifepoints now stand at 2700.)
-Announcer: That was a big round for Yusei-- now will Junk Warrior make trash outta the Black Rose?
+Cortez: I play two facedowns! Looks like *you're* up.
 
 (The announcer's face is on the sphere.)
 Announcer: That was a big shot For Cortez-- now will Stardust Dragon prove himself again to blast the Black Rose?
-Leo: All right! Yusei's got this!
+
 - Take that, you witch!
-Tanner: Ya see that combo, gramps? He's on a roll!
+
-Yanagi: I prefer a nice bialy.
+Leo: All right! Cortez's got this!
-Luna (think): There's something different about the way Yusei's dueling. It's almost like he's holding back and trying to *help* Akiza.
+
 Tanner: That was one awesome combo, gramps!
-Akiza: You want combos? (draw) Watch! (she drew Copy Plant)
+Yanagi: I wish Yusei could'of done the same.
-Akiza: First of all, since my spell card Ivy Shackles is still in effect, your Warrior becomes a plant-type monster. Next up, I'm summoning my Copy Plant in defense mode!
+Luna (think): There's something different about the way Cortez's dueling. It's almost like he's using for to give Akiza what she wants.
-[Copy Plant 0/0/1/wind]
+
-Akiza: And I bet you can guess what its special ability is just from its name. But in case you weren't paying attention, it can copy the level of any other plant monster on the field, and since your Warrior is under the control of my Rose Tentacles, my Copy Plant now becomes a level-five monster!
+Akiza: That's more like it! (draw) Watch! (she drew Twilight Rose knight) I summon Twilight Rose Knight!
 [Twilight Rose knight/1000/1000/L3] When this Rose Knight is successfully summon, I'm able to summon a monster that's level 4 or lower.
-Yanagi: I'm not sure I like what she's planning to do, kids. She's got Yusei backing into a corner!
+Yanagi: This is the same move she used to beat Cortez. Better sit back kids
 
-Akiza: And now that I have the tuner monster Copy Plant on my field, I can trigger the special ability of my Dark Verger that's in my graveyard to summon up your destruction, Yusei!
+Akiza: Now I summon Revival Rose!
 [Revival Rose/1300/L4///]
-Tanner: Here comes the combo she was talkin' about. Aw, man, this ain't good.
+
 Tanner: And I think we know what comes next
-Yusei: Ugh...
+
-Akiza: Get ready, 'cause now I can use my monsters for a synchro-summon!! I tune my Copy Plant with my Dark Verger to create my ultimate monster waiting for her fangs to chow on her next victim-- I summon, Black Rose Dragon!
+
 Akiza: Get ready, 'cause now I can use my monsters for a synchro-summon!! I tune my Twilight Rose Knight with my Revival Rose to create my ultimate monster waiting for her fangs to chow on her play toy-- I summon, Black Rose Dragon!
 (The air around Akiza is glowing pink, as she raises her arm to the sky. Black Rose Dragon's thorned lashes whip through the air as it appears, graceful and terrifying, in a whirlwind, roaring.)
 
 
-Akiza: Get ready to feel the fury of my Black Rose Dragon, Yusei!
+
 
-(Yusei's Sign lights up on his arm and he looks at it in shock.)
+Akiza: Get ready to feel the fury of my Black Rose Dragon, once again Cortez!
 [Black Rose Dragon 2400//]
 Cortez: Last time she summoned Black Rose Dragon--
-Akiza: It's a small price to pay, to take out all your Junk Warrior's attack points!
+(Flash Back from the day Cortez duel the Black Rose when she summoned it)
 Cortez (VO): Yusei interrupted before I can understand it what that think could do!
-Yusei: Not Junk Warrior!
+(FLash Back ends)
-Akiza: That tin can's worthless now! There's *nothing* that he can do! Black Rose Dragon attack!!
+Cortez and now this time, there's no running back!
-Yusei: *He* might not be able to help me, but guess who can! By removing my Shield Warrior from play, I can save Junk Warrior from being destroyed!
+
-[Shield Warrior 800/1600/L3/earth]
+
 Akiza: It's a small price to pay, to take out all your dragon's attack points!
-Yusei: Not if I play this-- my "Spirit Force"! So now all the damage from your Dragon's attack is negated!
+
-(The blast is deflected by a glowing shield around Yusei, and flies in all directions.)
+Cortez: Not Stardust!
 Akiza: That lizard's worthless now! There's *nothing* that he can do! Black Rose Dragon attack!!
 Cortez: *He* might not be able to help me, but Hyper Synchron can! Because I used him to summon Stardust Dragon, it can't be destroyed in battle!
 Akiza: But you're *still* going to feel the wrath of my dragon!
-Yusei: Agh! Oh, man, her power's getting out of control! I better finish this duel before someone gets hurt! <8:00> With the power of my "Spirit Force", I'm bringing back Junk Synchron from my graveyard!
+Cortez: Not if I play this-- my "Defense Draw"! So now all the damage from your Dragon's attack is negated!
-Akiza: Well let's see what that hunk of junk can do against two facedowns.
+(The blast is deflected by a glowing shield around Cortez, and flies in all directions.)
 
 (Part of it hits the dueling track; parts of the crowd scream and duck for cover)
-- You ruined my seats!! You have *any* idea how much they cost me?!
+
 Cortez: With the power of my "Defense Draw", I can draw a card!
-- She's dangerous! Just send her away!
+Akiza: Better hope that draw becomes a lucky one as I lay two facedowns. Before I'm done, I'm play another card, and that's "Fissure!" So say goodbye to your pet!
 Cortez: Not when I play Stardust's ability! I release him so I can stop your Fissure!
 (Stardust Dragon vanished into thin air)
 (Akize smiled for she knew it was the right moment)
-Akiza (mutters): Just keep it up. Just keep putting me down. I know it makes *you* feel good, but now let me show you what makes *me* feel good. It's time to show you what misery *really* is.
+Akiza: Perfect.
-(Yusei watches her silently as she continues.)
+Cortez: Huh?
-Akiza: My whole life, I've tried to ignore all the teasing and name-calling. But you can't ignore the pain that it causes forever, Yusei. (her eyes look slightly insane) I'll *make* them stop!
+Akiza: I wanted to get rid of that lizard, so I can use this! "Soul Release!" Now I remove five cards from your grave! And one of them will be that Stardust Dragon of your!
-Yusei (think): I have to help her before she does something she'll regret...! If I show her that her power's a gift and not a curse, maybe she'll stop causing all this pain! (aloud) It's my move!
+Cortez: Augh!
-(He drew a spell, Prevention Star)
+(Cortez watched as four random cards and Stardust Dragon vanished from existence. Stardust appeared as if he's in pain and disappeared)
-Yusei (think): Nice. With "Prevention Star" I can stop one of her monsters from attacking. I'd better hold onto it for later. I got a feeling the big dogs are comin' out soon. (aloud) I summon Junk Synchron in attack mode!
+Akiza: With it gone, you won't be having him back. You're helpless and alone now!
-[Junk Synchron 1300//]
+
-Yusei: And thanks to his special ability, Speed Warrior is summoned automatically!
+(Cortez's friends gasped from seeing what just happened)
-[Speed Warrior /400/]
+Tanner: With Stardust Dragon removed, he can't come back!
 Yanagi (freaked): He's a goner!
-Leo: All right! And now Speed Warrior's attack points get transferred over to Junk Warrior! That's not just a *special* ability, that's like a totally-wicked-double-backflip-with-chocolate-sprinkles ability!!
+Leo: Please don't lose like Yusei did.
 
-(Yusei looks at the card he's holding in his hand)
+
-Yusei (think): Stardust Dragon. Perfect! (aloud) Now I tune Junk Synchron with my Junk Warrior!
+- Come on?! You haven't cause enough damage *already*!?
-(Junk Warrior flies through the three rings, turning into golden outlines; the stars align...)
+
-Yusei: Meet my friend-- Stardust Dragon!!
+- Kick the Black Rose away!
-(Yusei raises an arm triumphantly, in the blast of white light. The dragon appears at last, roaring; its crinkled wings shimmer in the bright sunlight, raining glitter through the air.)
+
-Announcer: In all my years of broadcasting, I have *never* seen a monster like this! If you're watching from home, do *not* adjust your screen! It's as unbelievable as it appears!!
+
 
 Akiza: I'll set a card face down. (mutters) Go on, it doesn't matter. I have what I wanted. I'll keep dueling until you have nothing else worth while
-Yanagi: That's his dragon! That's the card Jack gave 'im!
+(Cortez watches her silently as she continues.)
-Leo: Wait a sec-- why would Yusei bring out a monster that's weaker than his Warrior?
+Akiza: I've wanted a perfect prey so I can enjoy sharing my pain the most with some ome (her eyes look slightly insane) I'll *make* you feel it! All of my pain and suffering!
-Luna: I dunno, it's like he's trying to *say* something to the Black Rose.
+Cortez (think): She's lost it. I'm the only one that can stop it...! I got to do something. She'll destroy the stadium if we continue dueling. What can I do?
 (Suddenly a vision came into his mind as there was seen a golden knight, n shining armor with a 39 sign on his shoulder. Suddenly he feels it and looks down to the shining card. His face showed allot of determination)
 Cortez: It's my move!
-- Lookit that, it's huge!
+(He drew a spell, pot of greed)
-(Above the arena, Stardust and Black Rose Dragon are facing off, about equal in size and stature.)
+Cortez First I'm using "Pot of Greed!" Now I draw two cards. Further more, I summon Summoner Monk! in defense mode!
 [Summoner Monk 800/1600/]
-(Jack's eyes are wide)
+Cortez: And thanks to his special ability, I discard a spell card to summon another monster from my deck that's level four or lower! So meet Sacred Crane
-Jack: Not bad.
+[Sacred Crane /1600/]
-Goodwin: Excellent!
+Cortez: And because he's summoned from a card effect, I can draw one card!
 (He draws Utopia Aura)
-Sayer: *Two* dragons*?
+
-Cortez: You can do it, Yusei.
+Leo: All right! I didn't know he can use those abilities like that to mill out so fast! That's not just a *special* ability, that's Yusei's totally-wicked-double-backflip-with-chocolate-sprinkles ability!! I know they're not tuner monsters, when Cortez pulls off that amazing Xyz summoning, I only know they have to be the same level! Let's see it!
 
-(Stardust shrieks at Black Rose Dragon, who roars right back.)
+(Cortez looks at the shining card card he's holding in his hand. It revealing an Xyz monster in golden and white armor, wielding a large blade)
-Announcer: Get ready, people; these two dragons are about to do battle!
+Cortez (think): Number Thirty-Nine, Utopia. Okey, let's do this (aloud) Now I Overlay Summoner Monk and Sacred Crane!
 (The sky darkens, and Cortez's two monsters form streaks of light in dark purple and gold, swirling into the sky. They zoom into a gathering swirl of stars, a galaxy shimmering in all colors.)
 Cortez: This is my real monster-- Number Thirty-Nine, Utopia!!
-Akiza: You brought out that dragon to remind me of all the pain that detestable mark on my arm has caused me! Why would you do that?!
+
-Yusei (surprised): Huh?
+(Cortez raises an arm triumphantly ass the number 39 glows in red. At the core of Utopia's armor stands a helical structure in gold, and a glowing core. Its overlay units orbit in sparks of gold. From it extend the blades of golden wings, and strong arms, and golden shoulder plates. Its armor unfolds and extends, ultimately forming a gigantic robotic warrior with white metal wings, double swords, and white and gold armor.)
-Akiza: Do you really believe that because we both have this mark in common you know what I'm feeling and what I've been through!?
+Announcer: In all my years of broadcasting, I have *never* seen a monster like this! If you're watching from home, do *not* adjust your screen! It's as unbelievable as it Stardust Dragon!!
-Yusei: I'm just showing you you're not as different as you think! I don't *have* to be your enemy, I *could* be your friend.
+[Number 39: Utopia 2500/2000/R4/light]
-Akiza: *Friend*?! Who says I *want* a friend! We both have these stupid marks, and no matter what we do we'll always be outcasts. Get it? Our fate is to be alone...
+
 Yanagi: What a monster of pure gold!
 Leo: That's so awesome! I never seen a monster like that
 Luna: Something about it seems like it wants to help the Black Rose.
 (The crowd)
 - She's got no chance, now!
 - Look at it, that so amazing!
 (Above the arena, Utopia and Black Rose Dragon are facing off, about to battle.)
 
 (Jack's eyes are wide and looks surprised)
-Akiza: That's why having friends isn't a choice, it's something, that I can never do. And that's why it's so much easier to wear a mask.
+Jack: Incredible! .
 Goodwin: Excellent! This is what the stars brought us!
-Akiza: It's amazing how little you care about other people when you can live behind a wall of plaster and paint--
+
 Sayer: *unreal* A monster out of this world*? I gotta have him!
 
-Akiza (VO): Even if it is only the size of your face.
+
  (Black Rose Dragon roar at Utopia.)
 Announcer: Get ready, people; these two monsters are about to do battle!
 
-Akiza (VO): Some have said it's time to move on, to show my true face to the world.
+
 Akiza: What is that?!
 Cortez: Huh? (looking at Utopia)
-Akiza (VO): Because maybe then people wouldn't fear my abilities. Maybe then I could live a normal life--
+Akiza: Are you trying to go this far to reason with me!?
 Cortez: This is the light of hope! If Stardust can't help you, then Utopia will!
-Akiza (VO): Or at least as close to normal as people like us can get. Maybe even have a friend.
+
 (As Yusei is still unconscious)
 Cortez (V.O): Up until know, Yusei try to use Stardust to reason.
-Akiza: But *you* heard the crowd, didn't you, Yusei? They don't understand me; eighty thousand people are shouting they're *afraid* of me!!
+
-Yusei: Don't listen to them; listen to me!
+(Backing to Cortez's view)
-Akiza: I need my mask, *why* are you trying to help me, Yusei!
+Cortez: And I will do if I have to. If I can win this and help you!
-Yusei: Because I know you!
+Akiza: *Help*?! Who says I *want* help! This mark I have just won't leave me, and no matter what I do, I'll always be hated by anyone I meet! Don't you get it!? I want to be alone....
-Akiza (dejected): You know *who*, the scared girl? Maybe the face behind the mask?
+
-Yusei: I know what it's like to be the outcast. I'm from the Satellite! You think people here liked what they saw in *me*?! You can't stay afraid! You can't hide behind a mask forever!
+
-Akiza: You're wrong.
+
-Yusei (think): I didn't want it to come to *this*, Akiza, but you've left me no choice! (aloud) Stardust Dragon, attack with Cosmic Flare!
+
-(Yusei grimaces as his Sign appears, burning through his glove.)
+
-Yusei: Ugh...!
+
 Akiza (VO): Everyone I've ever known, I've hurt!
 (End Flashback.)
 
 Akiza: I thought you were no different than Yusei.
 (She raises the heartless white mask, holding it in front of her face, as though to put it on.)
 Akiza: But I was wrong--
 
 (Flashback.)
-(In the back stage of the duel arena, Cortez's golden card glows in his pouch. As he opens it, he gets a feeling that something is happening.)
+Akiza (VO): You gave me a purpose.
-Cortez (think): Oh no!
+
 Akiza (VO): And so I dueled with it. I *won* with it. And I *lived* with it.
-Yusei: *Don't wear that mask!!*
+
-(Stardust attacks and destroys Black Rose Dragon; Akiza is left with 2700 lifepoints.)
+Akiza (VO): I thought I could move on because of you, but you are no better than I had doubted you be.
-Akiza: Sorry. But I've already made my decision. I... need the mask. Without it, it's too... easy to be hurt.
+
 (Change Flashback. The Black Rose stands in an alley, hidden from a bright light beyond it. She looks up, startled, as a black-gloved hand removes the mask from her face.)
 Akiza (VO): I met Sayer since the day he found me--
 (Sayer stands across the alley from her, face-to-face. He holds the mask in one hand, smiling. The moment holds, as she looks up at him in silent surprise.)
-- Nice mask-- scaredy-cat!
+Akiza (VO): He showed me what my life can be.
-- Happy Halloween!
+
 
-Sayer: Yusei... Akiza's *mine*. You can't rescue her from fate.
+
 
 Akiza (dejected): What is it like to live in a world of sadness?
 Cortez: I never remembered about my real past! I suddenly appeared and look where I am! I wanted to know where I came from!
 
 (Flash Back when Cortez was being chased by Sector Security.)
-(Cortez watches with a bit of fear while Sayer watches with joy
+Cortez (VO): When I tried to get help, all I did was get chased around by thugs and Sector Security!
 (End Flashback)
-Yusei: Listen--
+
-Akiza: No! *You* listen! It's my move, and I activate "Magic Planter"! So by removing my "Ivy Shackles" from play, I get to plant two new facedowns! And next I'll play one of them, Dark Tuning! For the low price of eight hundred lifepoints, I can summon any synchro monster from my graveyard! And I'm bringing back-- Black Rose Dragon!!
+Cortez: I wanted to hate you at first, but when I saw the scared little girl, I wanted to know how to help you!
 Akiza: Then I'll make you hate me more.
 Cortez (think): I didn't want it to come to *this*, Akiza, but you've left me no choice! (aloud) Utopia, attack with Rising Sun SLash!
 (Cortez's heart pounded as he felt something was wrong.)
 Cortez: Augh...
-Yusei: Ugh...
+
-Akiza: Oh, and last but not least, when Black Rose Dragon is special summoned, all the cards on your field are destroyed! So say goodbye to your pathetic pet!
+
 
 (Luna's is glowing too, and she grabs her arm with her other hand, hiding it from view)
 Yanagi: Huh? Hey, your arm!
 
 (Up in the control tower, Jack's Sign appears also; he gasps with surprise. Goodwin turns his head slightly to look at Jack)
 
 (Yusei's sign appeared in his arm)
-Luna (think): Yusei...
+Yusei: Ugh...!!
 
-Yusei (think): I gotta stop this...! (aloud) I activate Stardust's special ability! It might be a big price to pay, <15:00> but sacrificing my dragon destroys yours and all of its powers!
+Cortez: *Don't give me a reason to hate you!!*
-(Yusei discards Stardust Dragon.)
+(Utopia draws its sword, and flings it; it turns into a burst of energy as it flies. Utopia catches its sword again, and swoops in to attack. The attack hits, big-time; Black Rose is destroyed. Akiza is left with 2600 lifepoints.)
-Yusei: It's a dragon for a dragon!
+Akiza: Hate me. It's the one thing I want the most!
-(Stardust lunges forward, its wings folding around Black Rose Dragon's neck. It begins to shine brightly, and Black Rose Dragon goes with it. Both evaporate. They're gone.)
+
 
 (Crowd)
-Yanagi: But he lost Stardust Dragon! What now?!
+- Come on, don't show any mercy!
 - Make her pay for all she's done!
-Jack (mutters): Your heart will be your undoing!
+
 Sayer: Cortez... Akiza's *mine*. Yusei tried his best the first time. You can't save her from fate. I'll have you as well when she's done with you
-Akiza: You may have rid the field of my Dragon, but let's see how you handle Phoenixian Seed!
+
-[Phoenixian Seed 800//]
+
-And since we're sacrificing cards to activate special abilities, I'll sow my seed to reap Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis!
+
-[Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis 2200/0/L8/fire]
+
-Computer: When the monster card Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis is in your graveyard, it is automatically re-summoned in defense mode at the end of your turn.
+
-Akiza: And before you start in again with 'don't duel in anger', let's see if you change your tune after I destroy another one of your monsters! Amaryllis, attack!!!
+Cortez: I'm done trying to help you!
-(It wraps orange-glowing vines around Speed Warrior, burning it out of existence)
+Akiza: Then watch! I play the trap, Dark Tuning! For the low price of eight hundred lifepoints, I can summon any synchro monster from my graveyard! And I'm bringing back-- Black Rose Dragon!!
-Akiza: But it *doesn't* end there, because once Amaryllis attacks, it self-destructs, causing another eight hundred points of damage-- this should hurt a little.
+
-(Yusei weathers the blow)
+
 (Dark Tuning and Wicked Reborn are actually both effects of the same card, which is known in the TCG as "Wicked Rebirth" and usually has a different effect and is also known by a few other names as well.)
-(Yusei lp 400)
+
 Cortez: Ugh!!...
-Akiza: I'll end with a facedown.
+Akiza: Oh, and last but not least, when Black Rose Dragon is special summoned, all the cards on your field are destroyed! So say goodbye to your worthless toy!
-Yusei: This round's not even close to being over, Akiza! Remember, I used Stardust Dragon's special ability, and that means he comes back!!
+
-Akiza: Well then I guess our two beasts will have to battle it out again! This is the beginning of your end!
+
 (The whirlwind is spreading, beyond the duel and into the stadium...)
 
 Tanner: Hold on tight!
 Yanagi: Stay together!
-Yusei: I draw, then. (he drew a trap, think) "Cosmic Blast". Now if my Dragon ever leaves the field, it can still deal damage to Akiza! I know the only way to help her is to defeat her!
+
-(A combo forms in Yusei's mind, a path from one card to the next: Prevention Star, Stardust, a facedown, Black Rose Dragon, Cosmic Blast.)
+Luna (think): Cortez...
-Yusei (think): And I'm starting to see just the combo to do it! (aloud) I take my Stardust Dragon, and switch it to defense mode. Then I'll activate the spell "Prevention Star". And since my Stardust Dragon is in defense mode, I can equip the power of Prevention Star to it. And now I get to prevent one of *your* monsters from attacking or changing its battle position! And I think I'll freeze up your Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis!
+
 Cortez (think): I gotta stop this...! (aloud) I activate the trap, "Divine Wrath ! All I had to do is discard, then I can not only negate your monster's ability, but also destroy it!
-Tanner: Awesome! Yusei never would've survived another round with Akiza's Amaryllis still in attack mode! Now let's see if he can turn this duel around!
+(Cortez discards Tasuke Knight.)
 : It's a dragon for a dragon!
-Cortez: Good thing you're safe, Yusei.
+(Black Rose Dragon felt her vines are surrounding her and she gets evaporate.)
-Sayer: Hmph! Just you wait and see what her next move will be. I'll know when she'll use it.
+
-(Cortez looks at Sayer with a stern expression that tells him he wants to make Sayer for some reason.)
+
 Leo: Now he's safe for now
-Akiza: I play the trap card "Synchro Back"! Now by removing one synchro monster from my field, I can *re*-summon it next turn. And who better, than my Black Rose Dragon, Yusei?
+
 Jack (mutters): You're doing better than expected! I wish Yusei didn't have to be so a merciful!
 
 Akiza: You may of gotten rid of Black Rose Dragon, But I'll still win anyway! I play my own "Shrink!" Now your monster loses half of it's attack points! (Utopia has 1250) Now attack Utopia!
-Tanner: Don'tcha get it, gramps? When she special-summons her dragon next round, its special ability activates, destroying all of Yusei's cards!
+(It wraps orange-glowing vines around Utopia, burning it, but Utopia breaks free from it, while has 1250, but he didn't flinch)
-Dex: Yeah-- so she'll take out Yusei's Stardust Dragon, and that'll leave 'im wide-open for a direct attack! I dunno what he can do to beat Akiza, guys!
+Akiza (surprised): Why isn't it destroyed?!
 Cortez: My monster is very special! It can't be destroyed in battle! Only way you can is by having either negating it's ability or with a Number! I doubt you have any!
 Akiza: I may not have a *Number* but it *doesn't* end there, because once Amaryllis attacks, it self-destructs, causing another eight hundred points of damage-- this should hurt a little.
-Yusei: I'll end by throwing down a facedown.
+(Cortez weathers the blow)
 Akiza: Toldja.
 (Cortez lp 550)
-Yusei: It's your Sign!
+
 Akiza: I'll end.
-Yusei: But it's a part of you! It's part of all of us!
+Cortez: This round's not even close to being over, Akiza!
 Akiza: Well then I guess our both our monsters will have to battle it out again! This is the beginning of your end!
-Yusei: Having this mark doesn't make you a witch, Akiza, it makes you special! I know other people don't see that, and I know it hurts; but when you get angry at them, you're only hating yourself!
+
-(Across the field, Yusei is gripping his own right arm, hunching over slightly to brace it against his leg. He, too, is remembering the sight of the mark glowing against his bare arm.)
+
-Yusei: The pain you feel from that mark is shared by me as well. It's trying to bring us together, to strengthen us! I don't understand it yet, but this pain is somehow uniting us! We have to figure out what it wants, Akiza; but first you must realize that you're not alone!
+
 Akiza: I re-summon Black Rose Dragon!! And with it on the field, I now activate my trap-- "Overdoom Line". So now the monster I just summoned from my graveyard gains one thousand attack points! And to keep my Dragon company, I'm activating Amaryllis's special ability, which also allows me to summon it from my graveyard! I'll lay a card face down! It's *your* turn, Yusei!
 Cortez: I draw, then. I activate my "Non Aggressive Area" So I discard a card so for your next turn you can't summon any monster!
-(Cortez looks at his golden card)
+Akiza: Assuming If there is a next that is!
-Yusei: That we're connected--
+Cortez: Now Utopia! Attack Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis!
 (Utopia swings his sword and grabs it again and slashes Amaryllis)
 
-Yusei (VO): We're *all* connected! We're all going to have to make a choice.
+Tanner: Awesome! Cortez never would've survived another round with Akiza's Amaryllis still in attack mode! Now let's see if he can turn this duel around!
 
 
-Yusei (VO): We're going to have to band together in order for this to all make sense!
+Sayer: Hmph! You just keep going all you want. You still won't win this.
 
-Yusei: Embrace your dragon; it's beautiful! Just like you are under that mask.
+Akiza: I play the trap card "Synchro Back"! Now by removing one synchro monster from my field, I can *re*-summon it next turn. And who better, than my Black Rose Dragon, Cortez?
-Akiza: I'm *not* beautiful. People don't like me! And it's this mark that's caused all the suffering I've had to live through!
+
-Yusei: You're right. But if *you* stay mad, you'll *always* suffer.
+
-Akiza: So just accept it...? *Embrace* it...? (her voice wavers) Forget the past...?!
+
-(The roller in Akiza's hair starts glowing.)
+Tanner: Don'tcha get it, gramps? When she special-summons her dragon next round, its special ability activates, destroying all of Cortez's cards!
-Akiza: Hate's all I know! I am here for one reason and one reason only! I will not stop until I have who I want!
+
 
 Cortez: I'll end by throwing down a facedown.
 Akiza: It *won't* help you! (draws) 'Cause thanks to my Synchro Back's effect, Black Rose Dragon comes back to the field!
 (Huge column of violet-white light behind her, swarming with black petals. As soon as it appears, Akiza groans as her mark throbs again.)
 Cortez: It's your Sign!
 Akiza: I wish it was gone!
-Yusei: I won't let you do this!! I use, my Dragon's special ability! I'll sacrifice *him*, to stop this destruction!
+Cortez: But it's a part of you! It's part of all of you!
-(Once again, Stardust lunges forward and body-slams Black Rose Dragon, holding it back. Black Rose Dragon angrily whips at Stardust with its vines.)
+
-Yusei: Stop fighting, Akiza! It's over! The dragon inside you wasn't meant to destroy!
+Cortez: Having this mark doesn't make you a witch, Akiza, it makes you special! I know other people don't see that, and I understand it hurts; but when you get angry at them, you're only hating yourself!
-(One of the vines, then another, hits dangerously close to Stardust's eye, but it holds its ground, clinging to Black Rose Dragon. Black Rose Dragon shines and disappears within Stardust's grasp, then Stardust, too, vanishes. The winds calm.)
+Cortez: The pain you feel from that mark is shared by me as well. I may not have a mark, but I can feel it as well. It's trying to bring us together, to strengthen us! I don't understand it yet, but this pain is somehow uniting us! We have to figure out what it wants, Akiza; but first you must realize that you're not alone!
 (Akiza looks down at her arm...)
-(Yusei's Prevention Star leaves the field along with Stardust; there's still a little tornado going in the center of the field. Akiza's voice has a hysterical edge to it, and she sounds like she's almost crying.)
+
-Akiza: But that doesn't mean we're finished here, Yusei. Prevention Star's gone, too; which means Amaryllis can now attack. But you still have that facedown, Yusei, don't you! The question is, will it be enough! You've wasted your time trying to save *me*; now it's time to see if you can save yourself. Let's see if you can stop me!
+(Yusei's mark glowing in the hospital)
-Yusei: I never wanted to stop you; I wanted to save you!
+Cortez (VO): That we're connected--
-Akiza: Huh?!
+
-Yusei: And I intend to with "Cosmic Blast"! Now because Stardust Dragon left the field, you lose lifepoints for all of its attack points! You would've seen it coming if you weren't hiding behind that mask!
+
-(A ghostly image of Stardust appears over Yusei, and summons winds that swirl with black rose petals, forming a tornado that it wraps its wings around; violet light pours from behind its wings.)
+Cortez (VO): We're *all* connected! We're all going to have to make a choice.
-Akiza: You're right. The dragon wasn't meant to destroy.
+
-Yusei: Now you realize that--
+
-Akiza (o.c. fury) I AM! I activate the trap "Nature's Reflection"! And with it, I can reflect your card's effect. *You* Would'of seen it coming if you weren't wasting your time trying to help me, let alone get in my way to my prey!
+Cortez (VO): We're going to have to band together in order for this to all make sense!
-Yusei (scared): No!
+
 Cortez: If I can show you, I know you won't feel more hate anymore than you do.
-Tanner: It's over! He lost!
+Akiza: I had enough! I am through listening to all this!
-Yusei's friends (worried): Yusei!!
+
 Akiza: This discussion is over!! I activate Black Rose Dragon's special ability!
-(The the petals and pure purple lights dives to Yusei. He blocks from the blast, but they were to much for Yusei to take. He screamed from the deflected blast It explodes. He screamed loudly as he got down while the blast continued to hit him in a pile. Now burned just like Commander Koda and Ransborg.)
+
-Yusei (in agony): How? Why?
+
-(Akiza deactivates her duel disk and walks away)
+
-Akiza: It's simple! I will have my victim! I never leave my victims in one piece! You were in the way, Yusei, and I will not be stopped until I make sure my prey is in my hands!
+
 Cortez: I won't let you do this!! I the trap "Utopia Aura" I takes my monster's overlay unit so he won't be destroyed!
-(Jack was surprised to see what happened to Yusei while Goodwin watches with no care.)
+(Utopia absorbs it's orbiting unit to it's chest core. A glowing aura surrounding him shields him from the force of Black Rose Dragon's power.)
-Jack: Unbelievable! He lost?!
+Cortez: Stop fighting, Akiza! It's over! Over, Akiza!
-Goodwin: Well, she wanted Cortez after all. So she may have him.
+(Black Rose Dragon shines and disappears within The winds. Soon the winds calm.)
-(Jack growls in anger as he slams the table near him.)
+
-Jack: Cortez! This is all you're fault! If you hadn't of shown up, I be settling the score with Yusei! You had better hope you win this, cause after this! I'll give you no mercy like Akiza won't give you!
+(Akiza's voice has a hysterical edge to it, and she sounds like she's almost crying.)
 Akiza: Because of "Non Aggressive Area's" effect, I can't summon a monster. If you attack with Utopia, you'll win. Will you do it?
-(Cortez was shocked in the face to see what just happened just now. Sayer walks out to get Akiza.)
+(Cortez draws his card)
-Sayer: Hmph! Yusei trying to *help*. He should've tried to help himself. All that she wanted was you, so getting in her way is what happens to duelist like Yusei. Butter get ready to duel her and hope you can get out of this by winning.
+Cortez: I can and will.
-(Cortez looks completely stern as he balled his fist.)
+(Cortez closes his eyes as they form tears. He looks stern but he's crying from the harsh duel. He then opens his eyes again with determination again.)
 Cortez: Number Thirty-Nine: Utopia, attack and end this duel for good!
-Leo: Is Yusei gonna be alright?
+(Utopia swings his blade and tosses at Akiza directly. Before Akiza knows what hit her, the shining blade hits her mask right between the eyes; it cracks in two. She bows her head, concealed by her long bangs, and the pieces fall from her face. Her lifepoints sink to zero. She begins to look at Cortez. Akiza's eyes are filling with tears, joining Cortez to cry with him)
-Tanner: I hope?
+Akiza: So now you see it. The Black Rose crying alongside her prey
-Yanagi: Poor Yusei.
+
-Luna (looks sad): Cortez. Please be okey in your next duel?
+(Cortez had no words to form with the tears falling down the ground.)
 
-Sayer (kindly): You did good. Now you can have your last victim you always wanted. (Glares at Cortez with a sinister smile.) (think) And I'll have him in Arcadia Movement, that way it will be stronger!
+Sayer (frosty): -- Now that the duel is over, we *should* be* leaving now.  I think you've caused enough damage for one day, Mister Blackful. Akiza's coming home with *me*.
 (Sayer puts his brown trenchcoat around Akiza's shoulders as she kneels on the field; now we can see he wears beneath it dark blue pants, a dark green vest, and a black shirt. She looks up at him, bemused.)
 Sayer (kindly): It's okay. You *tried*. Next time, you'll do better. (think darkly) And this time, I will have you! Just you wait!
-- He lost!
+
-- He may be a satellite, but he didn't deserve that!
+
-- Who can beat the Black Rose now
+- All right, she lost!
 - Don't forget your mask!
-Announcer: The winner of the duel is Akiza!
+
-(Akiza stands with Sayer on the field, quietly triumphant. She gently grasps her still-shining right arm.)
+Announcer: The winner of the duel is Cortez Blackful!
-Akiza (silent): Cortez. I will have you. No one is stopping me from getting you!
+(Yusei stands alone on the field, quietly sad. He didn't know if he won the duel or caused more pain than what Akiza did with him. As Sayer leads her out of the arena, she glances back; Akiza's mask has truly come off, revealing the human underneath. Cortez watches her go.)
-Cortez (think): Akiza! If you want me that badly, then you can have me all you want! But I will get through to you! I'll be certain of that. (As a image of Cortez and Akiza are glaring at each other, now enemies who hated each other.) Cause someone needs to stop you!
+Akiza (silent): Thank you, Cortez. Yusei would be proud of you. I hope we see each other again.
 
 (In the hospital, Yusei smiled as if he had a feeling that Cortez did it)
 Yusei (faint): Cortez......you did it.
