Chapter 23 update and Snippet · 7:41pm Aug 20th, 2015

Hey there dueling fans. F1 here

First off, I truly want to apologize to my Ponioh reader for the lack of updates. I've been trying to hash out the duel between derpy and phantom and it's taken me a lot longer than I would like. But now I believe I got a satisfying conclusion for it so I can now start writing again.

Also here's snippet of the chapter so far:

The crowd erupted as they waited for the next match to start. On the sidelines, the two duelists made their way to the field.
“This is gonna be fun,” cheered Derpy.
“I wish you the best of luck,” spoke Phantom.
“You too,” Derpy replied.
Before Derpy got the stage steps, she tripped and fell. This caused some of the crowd to laugh.
“Oh my, are you okay?” asked Phantom.
“Yeah, I’m fine. It happens to me all the time,” she said, with a sheepish smile.
Once she was one her hooves she dusted herself off and headed on to the field.
“What a funny mare she is,” noted Phantom.
As she reached the other steps, she was stopped by Star.
“Say, Phantom. A little piece of advice,” spoke Star.
“Sure, what is it?” she responded.
“Just…don’t take Derpy lightly,” He warned. “She may act silly off the field, but once the match starts you’ll see a different mare.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes…just be on guard.”
“Thank you, Star.”
“No problem. Good luck out there.”
“I'll give it my all.”
She then made her way on to the stage. As the two met at the center of the Duel Field, they greeted each other with a smile as they started to shuffle each other’s decks.
“Let’s have a good match, Derpy,” said Phantom.
“Yeah, I can’t wait to get started,” beamed Derpy.
-------
On the sidelines, Star and the others looked on with anticipation.
“You think Phantom is gonna be okay out there, Star?” asked Pinkie Pie.
“I think so, but it a tough break she got Derpy,” he sighed.
“Why? What’s so scary about that dweeb?” mocked Gilda.
Gilda then noticed that Star looked at her with a serious expression.
“You have no idea,” he spoke.
“What do you mean?” she asked with an arched eyebrow.
Star then turned his attention back to the field.
“Just wait and see.”
-------
Back on the field, the two had just finished shuffling their decks. They then retreated to their respective Duel Zones.
“Duelist ready?” asked Pegasus.
They both nodded in agreement. Derpy then closed her eyes.
Why is she closing her eyes? thought Phantom.
“And begin!” Pegasus instructed.
With that, Derpy opened her eyes. When she did, Phantom noticed her demeanor had changed. She gave off a serious presence on the field. Even her normally askewed eyes were now focused on Phantom.
“I’ll start things off,” Derpy stated, as she drew her card.
