Utena opens the doors to the duel arena and climbs the steps.

Utena: What's this?

She looks at the arena, which is covered with rows of identical school desks, each with a vase on yellow flowers on top of them. She walks towards the desks, confused.

Utena: What...

She stops as her foot rests on the red silhouette of a person on the floor. She looks around the desk and sees several more silhouettes. She walks a few steps and sees a person standing amongst the steps, her back to Utena.

Utena: Who's there?

Kanae: I swear by this black rose...that I shall win this duel...and bring death to the Rose Bride!

Kanae turns to Utena, her eyes dark. She is wearing a duelist outfit and a black rose on her chest.

Utena: Ka-Kanae-san... Why?
Anthy: That is not her normal self.
Kanae: This is my true self...the other me which slumbered within... As long as I have this black rose, I don't have to play the false me anymore.
Utena: Because of that black rose...
Kanae: Now, Tenjou Utena, draw your sword!

She points a sword at Utena.

Kanae: Otherwise, the Rose Bride will be mine!

Anthy summons the Sword of Dios. Utena pulls it out of her chest.

Utena: ...the power to revolutionize the world!

The bells near the duel arena ring. Utena and Kanae start to duel. Kanae leaps towards Utena, and she is barely able to hold her back.

Kanae: How feeble! Put more effort into it!
Utena: Kanae-san, you just said you swore by that black rose< you'd win this duel and...
Kanae: And bring death to the Rose Bride!

Kanae swipes at Utena, and hits one of the flower vases as Utena flips backwards.

Utena: Fine. I see how it is. In that case, I won't hold back!

Utena summons the power of Dios.

Kanae: What?

Utena charges towards Kanae and cuts her rose off. Kanae gasps and the petals fly into the air. The bells ring once again. The desks move together into four squares surrounding Kanae. She screams in anguish as her Rose Signet and sword disappear. She falls over and lands perfectly against one of the red silhouettes.
