Didn't expect to wind-up in a place like this!", Rainbow Dash said as she took in the area the door had lead her to. It looked like she had just stepped into a Colosseum. "Never pegged Paradox as a sports fan...." "So it appears a new champion graces these walls.", a figure said. Rainbow turned around and saw a duel monster waiting at the center of the arena! "I am the Grand Jupiter! I have heard of your skill, and have seen fit to admit you into the Colosseum! Here, your glory shall be eternal!" "Sweet! Just let me grab my friends and..." "NO! It is you and you alone who shall be remembered. Such is the price of glory.", Grand Jupiter said flatly. "In that case, forget this place! No fame's worth the price of having no one close to enjoy it with! I'd never ditch my friends! I'm outta here!" "Fine then fool." Grand Jupiter snapped his fingers, and the Colosseum gates slammed shut! "There is but one way to leave! Best me in a duel! But none have beaten me before, and I have yet to believe YOU have stand even the slightest chance!" Rainbow Dash activated her duel disk! "You don't know who you're dealing with! Let's duel!" Rainbow Dash: 8000 Grand Jupiter: 8000 "This is my domain, so I shall take the first move!", Grand Jupiter boasted. "I summon Absolute Crusader in attack mode and equip him with Lightning Blade! I end my turn." "I draw!" Rainbow Dash took a careful look at her cards. 'His monster's got some pretty high attack points with that boost! But I got a way to even the odds!' "I summon Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus and equip him with Crystal Release! This boosts him by 800 points! Now Sapphire Pegasus's effect activates! I can place a Crystal Beast face-up in my spell and trap zone! Now I'll attack your monster!" Sapphire Pegasus and Absolute Crusader charged at each other! Both destroyed each other! "I'll choose to put Sapphire Pegasus in my spell and trap zone! Now that Crystal Release is in my graveyard, I can place another Crystal Beast in spell and trap zone! Then I'll set a card and end my turn!" 'This guy looks far from stupid! No way he'll risk triggering my trap! This guy said he's taken down TONS of opponents! I can't screw up now! Or else I'm done for! Plus....' Rainbow Dash thought of Steel. 'I hate to admit, but I can't picture myself without that jerk. He's always so cool-headed. Makes me wonder why he's dating me sometimes. Heh! The other girls thought I'd never get a guy to like me!' "Well? I'm waiting!" "My turn." Grand Jupiter drew his next card. "It would appear you've prepared for my coming assault. But I did not become a champion by taking foolish risks. I summon Tactical Espionage Expert! When he's been summoned, no trap cards can be activated! Attack her directly!" Tactical Espionage Expert fired a shot from his stun blaster! Striking Rainbow Dash directly! "It seems first blood is mine. I end my turn." Rainbow Dash: 6700 Grand Jupiter: 8000 'I guess this guy really DOES know what he's doing!', Rainbow thought as she drew a card. 'Just means I gotta take him down hard!' "Yeah, well the duel's not over until the last card's drawn! If there's anything my friends taught me, its not to get too far ahead of myself! Maybe winning so much hasn't been a good thing for you! I summon a monster in defense mode! Too bad your monster's effect can only be used on the turn he's summoned!" "Hmph." Jupiter scoffed as he drew his next card. "It makes little difference. Another wall to tear down. Tactical!" Tactical Espionage Expert shot a stun blast at Rainbow's monster, but it bounced off and put him to sleep! "There's more to a duel that just attacking!", Rainbow said with a confident smirk. "If you just charge forward, you're gonna fall on your face! Something I learned by losing a few times!" "Cease your prattle! I end my turn." Rainbow Dash: 6700 Grand Jupiter: 7300 'Geez. I'd hate to see what this guy would do when I beat him. IF I beat him!' "I draw! I summon Topaz Tiger! Then I'll attack your monster! And since he's attacking, Tiger gains 400 attack points!" Topaz Tiger pounced on Tactical Espionage Expert! Destroying him with force of the impact! "I end my turn!" Rainbow Dash: 6700 Grand Jupiter: 6700 'This little wretch has actually damaged my pride! I shall make her pay dearly for that!', Grand Jupiter thought as he drew a card. "I'll not let your insults go unpunished! I play Feast of the Wild LV5! This lets me special summon two level-five monsters from my hand! Now I special summon two warriors! Now I tribute them to summon Battleguard King!" A gigantic red ogre wielding a large club showed up on Grand Jupiter's field! "Crush her Tiger! Battleguard Crush!" Battleguard King brought down his club on Topaz Tiger! 'Just what I was waiting for!', Rainbow thought with a smile! "I activate my trap! Rainbow Path! Since you declared an attack, I'll send a Crystal Beast from my spell and trap zone to negate your attack and add Rainbow Dragon to my hand!" "Cursed little witch! I end my turn!" "My move!" Rainbow Dash drew her next card! "I'll play Rare Value! Since I've got more than two Crystal Beasts in my spell and trap zone, you can choose one and send it to the graveyard! Then I can draw two new cards!" "Fine! I choose the one on the far left!" "Sweet! Now I summon the last Crystal Beast! Cobalt Falcoln! Now that I've got all I need! I summon Rainbow Dragon!" A rainbow of light shone down on Rainbow's field! "Welcome to the show buddy! Always good to have a friend on my field!" "Happy to be here Dash!", Rainbow Dragon said with a grin. "So whose butt are we gonna kick?" "The butt-ugly battleguard! You know what to do! Spectrum Surge!" "Taste the rainbow ugly!", Rainbow Dragon cried before firing a blast of rainbow energy from his mouth! "Fool!", Grand Jupiter smirked. "I activate my trap! Battleguard Rage! This boost my Battleguard King by 1000 points!" 'Good thing I set this earlier!', Rainbow thought with a confident smirk! "I activate my trap! Crystal Raigeki! I'll send a Crystal Beast from my spell and trap zone to destroy a monster on your field!" "NO!" Grand Jupiter cringed as a bolt of crystallized lightning destroyed his monster, and he took the full force of Rainbow Dragon's attack! "That's all for me! I'll set a card and end my turn!" 'Just gotta wait for the right time to bring out Rainbow Dragon's twin!' Rainbow Dash: 6700 Grand Jupiter: 2700 "I believe I've let you advance far enough!", Grand Jupiter. "I shall dispose of you myself! I play Fires of Doomsday to special summon two Doomsday tokens! Now I tribute them to summon myself!" Grand Jupiter stepped onto the field! "Now for my effect! I'll discard two cards to equip your monster to myself! Now I gain his attack points!" "Rainbow Dragon!" Rainbow Dash was shocked to see Rainbow Dragon be chained to Grand Jupiter! 'He might've taken Rainbow Dragon, but I got a little surprise for him if he thinks my monsters are sitting ducks!' "Now to destroy your Cobalt Eagle!" "Sorry! Not gonna happen! Mirror Force!" "NOOO!", Grand Jupiter howled as the barrier repelled his attack and sent him off the field! 'I might've had to take down Rainbow Dragon, but its better than this creep using him as an attack boost.', Rainbow thought. "Cursed wench! I end my turn.", Grand Jupiter scowled. "My move!" Rainbow drew her next card! 'Sweet! Time to end this!' "I activate my trap! Rainbow Gravity! This revives Rainbow Dragon from my graveyard ignoring his summoning conditions! Let's end this Rainbow Dragon! Spectrum Surge!" Rainbow Dragon revived in a flash of light, and fired his signature attack! Wiping out the last of Grand Jupiter's life points! "Not...possible!", Grand Jupiter hissed as he disintegrated! Once he was destroyed, a warp appeared in the center of the Colosseum. "Aw yeah! Who's awesome? Me and Rainbow Dragon! That's who!" Rainbow Dash stepped on the warp, and found herself back in the main hall. Only three chains were remaining on the door. "Awesome! Now we just gotta wait for Moon, Ace, and Shadow!"
