Friendship is Dueling 5: Duelists in Equestria // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// "It reads: Dear Twilight. Luna and I have thought it over, and have decided it would be best to bring the loved ones of the sirens to Canterlot so we can speak to them about their progress. Please come as soon as you can.", Spike read. "Looks like you four will get your chance to speak with the princesses after all." Ace, Veenus and Fang smiled at hearing this. "Come on you three. We'd better get on the next train to Canterlot. Don't lag behind.", Twilight called. The three nodded as they boarded the train. The trip was a bit long, but they nonetheless enjoyed the ride by telling Twilight about the times they'd spent with the former sirens. "Wow. I didn't know they got their singing voices back thanks to you three." "Well, I just couldn't see Sonata so unhappy when she was about to leave.", Ace answered. "I'd only known her for a couple days, but I grew to like her a lot. I guess that's why I couldn't see her go." "Same deal with me and Aria.", Fang said as he wagged his tail. "When I first met Aria, she was in a pretty mood. She even told me I was the first thing to make her smile. Even let her rub my belly. I just hope she doesn't give me a collar as present...." Twilight giggled. "And what about you Veenus?", Twilight asked. "Well, Adagio saw me use my powers on a flower I was keeping in my locker. As you can tell by the flower on me, I've got a real talent with plants. She looked quite lovely herself. I like a girl with a lot of confidence. When she was about to leave, she asked me if I was going to try and stop her. I said no and she freaked out because she expected me to beg her to stay." "Rarity would faint from all this romantic overload.", Twilight said with a smile. "Reminds me of when I met a guy at CHS." The three guys smiled. "So who's the lucky dude?", they asked. Twilight blushed! "O-oh! It wasn't anything major!" "Riiiiight." Soon the train came to a stop. "Ohlookslikewe'reherelet'sgo!", Twilight blurted. The guys shrugged and followed her. "Next stop: Canterlot Castle!" The group navigated their way to the castle and made their way once the guards let them through. They then moved on to the throne room. "Don't worry you two! Princesses Celestia and Luna aren't too formal." "Says the one who panicked when we asked about her relationship life.", Fang said with a grin. Twilight frowned and opened the door. "Good to see you Twilight.", Celestia greeted with a warm smile. "And these three must be the coltfriends of the sirens?" "That's them alright.", Twilight replied. "In fact, they came here because they wanted to see if there was some way to undo the banishment spell that sent them to the human world." "Not so fast.", Luna interrupted. "Before we give you what you seek, there is one thing we must make sure of." Luna then summoned a duel disk and Celestia did the same. "Prove how much they mean to you." Ace was about to get his deck out, but Veenus and Fang stopped him. "You proved yourself to Sonata when you were trapped in that video game. Now its our turn.", Veenus said. "Yeah! I wanna show-off what my deck can do!", Fang said with a grin. Seeing that their challenge was accepted, Celestia and Luna had duel disks brought in. "I'll face-off against Princess Luna." "Then that means I'm up against Princess Celestia.", Veenus said as he activated his duel disk. Celestia: 8000 Veenus: 8000 "I hope you don't mind, but I'll take the first move.", Celestia said. "I summon Daybreaker in attack mode and set a card. I end my turn." "I draw! I summon Rose Lover! Then I'll tribute her to special summon Queen Angel of Roses! Now I'll play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your face-down!" Celestia's trap was destroyed! "Now I'll attack with Queen Angel of Roses!" Celestia's Daybreaker was destroyed by Queen Angel of Roses' lance! "Then I'll set a card and end my turn." Celestia: 7300 Veenus: 8000 "My turn. I draw! I play Valhalla Hall of the Fallen! Since I have no monsters on my field, I can special summon a fairy-type monster from my hand! I special summon Athena! Now I summon Shining Angel! And since a fairy-type monster was summoned, you take 600 points of damage! Then I'll attack Queen Angel of Roses with Athena!" "I don't think so! I activate my trap! Wall of Thorns! When you target a plant-type monster I control, I can destroy all attack mode monsters my opponent controls!" A wall of thorns sprouted up and destroyed all of Celestia's monsters! "I guess every rose has its thorn. I end my turn with two face-downs." Celestia: 7300 Veenus: 7700 "My turn then! I draw! Nice! I play Double Summon to bring out Naturia Rosewhip and Revival Rose! I'll tune Revival Rose with Rosewhip! I synchro summon Black Rose Dragon!" A flurry of rose petals swirled on Veenus's field, and a dragon with rose petals on its wings materialized! "Now that she's been synchro summoned, I can destroy all cards on the field!" All of the cards except for Black Rose were obliterated by a storm of petals! "Now I'll attack you directly! Rose Flame!" Black Rose Dragon fired a swirling blast of purple flame from her mouth right at Celestia's life points! "I end my turn with a face-down." Celestia: 4900 Veenus: 7700 "Quite the fierce monster you have.", Celestia said with a smile. "Black Rose isn't so prickly as she seems. Right girl?", Veenus asked as he looked at Black Rose. Black Rose nodded as she nuzzled Veenus. "Who else do you think helps him out with gardening?", Black Rose asked playfully. "Well you've shown me your best. Now I get to show you mine! I draw! I play Card Advance! Now I'm allowed an extra tribute summon this turn in addition to my normal summon! I summon Kaiser Seahorse and tribute him to summon Splendid Venus! Now that she's on the field, all non-fairy monsters lose 500 attack points!" Splendid Venus beat her wings and a storm of feathers fell over Veenus's field! Dropping Black Rose's attack points! "Attack Black Rose Dragon!" Splendid Venus charged at Black Rose! "I activate my trap! Mirror Force! This destroys all attack mode monsters you control!" A barrier reflected Splendid Venus's attack right back at her! Destroying her! "I guess I'll end my turn.", Celestia said with a calm smile. "My turn! I draw! I banish Rose Lover to special summon Fallen Angel of Roses from my hand! I'll attack you directly with both of my monsters! Rose Fury!" A storm of thorns cut into Celestia's life points! "I end my turn." Celestia: 100 Veenus: 7700 Celestia smiled. "I've seen all I needed. Any devotion on your level proves you really love the siren you've known." Celestia deactivated her duel disk, and Veenus did the same. Luna and Fang then activated their duel disks. "I hope you don't expect me to be as easy as my sister.", Luna said with a determined gaze. "Wasn't counting on it!", Night said with a grin as he and Luna activated their duel disks. Luna: 8000 Fang: 8000 "I got the first move!", Fang said as he looked over his cards. "I summon Destiny HERO-Drilldark! Now his effect activates! I can special summon a 'Destiny HERO' monster from my hand with attack less than or equal to Drilldark's attack! I'll special summon Destiny HERO-Decider! Then I'll set a card and end my turn." "I draw! I special summon Arisen Gaia the Fierce Knight since you control more monsters than I do! I'll attack Destiny HERO-Decider!" "I don't think so! Decider's effect prevents level six or higher monsters from targeting him for attacks!" "If that's the case, I'll attack Drilldark!" "I discard Destiny HERO-Dynatag so that I take no damage! But because I used this effect, we both take 1000 points of damage!" Dynatag exploded, and both Fang and Luna winced as they took damage! "Impressive. I end my turn with a face-down card." Luna: 7000 Fang: 7000 "My move! I draw! Nice! I summon D Cubed! And since he's on the field, he counts as a Destiny HERO! Now I activate my trap! D-Fusion! I'll use the two Destiny Heroes on my field to fusion summon! I fusion summon Destiny HERO-Dystopia! Since Dystopia was special summoned, I can target a level four or lower Destiny HERO in my graveyard and inflict its attack points as damage!" Dystopia fired a blast of dark energy at Luna's life points! "Now I'll attack Arisen Gaia!" "I activate my face-down card! Shrink! This halves your monster's attack!" "You just set off Dystopia's other effect! If his attack is different during either of our turns, I can target and destroy one card on the field and his attack becomes equal to that card's attack until the end of this turn! I'll target your Arisen Gaia!" A bolt of dark energy destroyed Arisen Gaia! "Now attack her directly! Dystopia Strike!" Dystopia unleashed a powerful kick into Luna's life points! "I end my turn with two face-downs." Luna: 3100 Fang: 7000 "Most impressive.", Luna said as she drew a card. "I play Raigeki to wipe out your field!" A massive bolt of lightning wiped out Fang's field! "Then I play Black Magic Ritual! I'll tribute monsters from my hand whose levels are equal to or greater than the level of the ritual monster I want to summon! I summon Magician of Black Chaos! Then I'll play the spell card Hidden Armory! This lets me add an equip spell from my deck to my hand! Now I'll activate it! Megamorph! Since my life points are lower than yours, this lets Magician of Black Chaos's attack points double! Attack him directly!" Magician of Black Chaos unleashed a powerful blast of dark magic that collided into Fang's life points! "I end my turn." Luna: 3100 Fang: 1400 "You weren't kidding when you said you were more challenging!", Fang said with a small smile. "But now that my life points are lower, Magician of Black Chaos's attack points go back to normal. Now I draw! I activate my face-down! Chain Material! I'll banish the materials from my deck! I fusion summon my ace HERO! Destiny End Dragoon! Now his effect activates! I can target one monster you control and inflict its attack points as damage to you!" Dragoon shot a blast of plasma that fried Luna's monster and wiped out the last of her life points! "That's game!" Luna smiled. "Looks like you two really love the sirens. Sister? I believe our magic and Twilight's should be enough to undo it." Celestia and Twilight nodded as they focused their magic, and opened up a portal! Not a moment later, the Dazzlings were brought through it! Ace, Veenus, and Fang rushed up to their respective girlfriends! Hugging them tightly! "Ace?", Sonata asked. "How am I back in Equestria?" "We might've had a hand in that.", Twilight answered with a smile. "You three have changed and reformed, so Ace and the others thought it would be nice to see if your banishment could be undone." The Dazzling's jaws dropped at hearing this! "Gee. That's pretty nice of you.", Sonata said with a smile. "But....I don't think I wanna come back." Sonata then nuzzled. "I found a new home where I belong. And I've got the perfect person to keep me company." Ace blushed! "Same goes for me.", Aria said with a shrug. "Especially since I got Fang here." Aria then rubbed Fang's belly. "Isn't that right?" "AHAHAHAHHAHAHA! Yes! Yes! Please! Pfft! HAHAHAHA! Please stop!", Fang laughed. "I must admit. It is nice to be back home. But...." Adagio then turned to Veenus with a flirty smile. "It doesn't have you. At least, not the you I know." Adagio and Veenus shared a kiss. Celestia and Luna smiled. "It seems like you three really have changed for the better.", Celestia said with a smile. "While you're here, you might as well wait until the portal back to the human world is fixed. My castle's got plenty of room. Let's go." The group left to return to Ponyville where Starlight was still working on the portal. "....I ship them.", Celestia said with nod. "You've been waiting to say that. Haven't yo Tia?", Luna asked with a smile. "What? Those three and the sirens made cute couples."
