"Duel!" x2
Kira, LP 4000 Aki Izayoi, LP 4000
"You failed."
Kira looked at Aki with an amused expression.
"I told you, if you could fight your way up from the Fortune Cup, defeat the King, and become this city's new pinnacle of dueling, then perhaps you might be worthy of facing me again.
"But unfortunately, it seems the flames of revenge you spoke of were nothing more than this."
"Shut up! Shut up!"
Aki had just finished her duel with Yusei. The headband restraining her powers had already been blown apart during her all-out outburst in the previous duel, leaving her long hair disheveled once more.
"The competition doesn't matter anymore. As long as I kill you and avenge Diwein, nothing else matters.
"I'll go first. Draw!"
Aki drew for her opening turn.
"I summon 'Evil Thorn' in Attack Position!"
Soil rippled across the ground in her Monster Zone, and a small green plant stubbornly broke through the earth, blooming with a listless flower.
Evil Thorn, ATK 100
"I activate Evil Thorn's Monster Effect!" Aki said. "I tribute this card to deal 300 points of damage to my opponent!
"Take this!"
Though it was only 300 points of damage, Aki's psychic powers flared at full force, and the whirlwind sent her already disheveled hair whipping wildly around her. Evil Thorn itself dissolved into specks of light as a tentacle lashed out at Kira, only for him to calmly raise his Duel Disk and block it like a shield.
Kira, LP 4000 → LP 3700
"After Evil Thorn's effect resolves, I can Special Summon up to two more 'Evil Thorn' from my Deck in Attack Position."
Two cards automatically popped out from Aki's Deck.
"Come to my field, two Evil Thorns!"
Two more mounds
