//------------------------------// // Before the Finals // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! Friendship is Magic // by sonicdash123 //------------------------------// The next morning before the tournament finals begins, Charming Thunder came out of the card shop with a new card in a box he levitated. He then noticed Twilight talking to a brilliant gamboge coat stallion pegasus wearing royal guard armor with a blue mane and tail and decided to walk up to them. He then stopped as he heard something from the two. “I think that Charming Thunder’s new card is too powerful for him, Flash,” Twilight said. “Ever since he got it, he has beaten Danny against his Egyptian God card.” “I don’t see the problem,” Flash said. “It is fair that he got the card from that pack.” “It sounds like somepony is jealous of the new card I got two days ago,” Charming Thunder said stepping into the conversation. “Oh, Charming!” Twilight said; surprised. “I didn’t notice that you were here. How much did you hear?” “Long enough. If you are jealous of me wielding an Egyptian God card, you could’ve just told me! First Rainbow and now you. Who’s next? The princesses?” “Charming…” “No. Say no more, Twilight. You know what, I am going to use my Blue-Eyes cards in my deck and pulverize you in the finals with them!” Charming Thunder then used his magic to teleport away from Twilight and Flash. “Charming, wait!” Charming Thunder teleports to the room in the castle he is staying in and sat down on the ground with his back to the door. Tears began to fall a little as he wept. He then wiped his tears and got up then looked up at the ceiling. Charming Thunder I know her love is not enough I know it isn’t what I need now I know I am made of finer stuff I think on that I will agree It's time to leave her in the dust It's time to be who I should be It's time to do now as I must And set the duelist in me free Charming Thunder sighed and looked at his box containing his card. In moments, mere moments Drums will roll There we'll stand, just like before The crowd will hush And then in one sweet rush I will finally become king of games Charming Thunder then opened the box and looked at his card. And then, she will Realize what she has done Like two strands of melody At last entwined Fulfill her, complete her Make her whole Seal our bond forevermore Today, for her, embrace my destiny And become the king of games A knock was then heard at the door and Cadence’s voice was then heard from the other side. “It’s time, brother,” she said. Charming Thunder then puts his new card in his deck box and grabbed his duel disk as he prepared for the finals of the tournament. Rainbow Dash sat in her seat next to Danny a little worried. Danny looked at her and wrapped wing around her comforting her. She smiled a little and then looked at the duel field that is still empty. Other ponies were grabbing their seats as Rainbow wanted to confess something to Danny. “Danny?” she asked. “Yes?” Danny said. “I...I made a bet with Charming Thunder about the finals.” “You did what?” Danny was shocked to hear what Rainbow heard. “I know, but he offered one of his Blue-Eyes White Dragon as a reward if Twilight wins.” “But what if she loses?” “I leave his business alone with Twilight.” Now Rainbow got a little nervous about Twilight. Rainbow Dash Will she win? Will she lose? What is she thinking now? Is it him? Is it the duel? Devil take the hindmost Meanwhile, Charming Thunder was in the waiting room waiting for his time to enter. Rainbow Dash/(Charming Thunder) Will she stay? (Obey your heart) Will she go? (And duel me) Does she know? (You know you want to) Even now? (Stay and duel me) Please, Twilight (Face me) End the duel Rainbow Dash/Charming Thunder Devil take the hindmost Now it's time So make your choice Do it for our lives Charming Thunder Use your head Rainbow Dash No time to lose Rainbow Dash/Charming Thunder Hesitate We're all undone Danny also became worried about the bet as well as Rainbow. Danny Eclipse/(Rainbow Dash)/[Charming Thunder] Perhaps they won't go on (Will she stay?) [Obey your heart] Perhaps it’ll be a draw (Will she go?) [And duel me] Perhaps their decks won’t serve them (Does she know) [And duel me] And he will fail her (Even now?) [You, me, against all odds] And then Rainbow Dash (Please, Twilight) [Face me] Will get what she deserves (End the duel) Danny Eclipse/Rainbow Dash/Charming Thunder Devil take the hindmost Charming Thunder looked at his new card; Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste, then puts it in his deck box. Twilight was at the other side in the other waiting room as she paced around worried about what she has done to Charming Thunder and how he is feeling. Danny Eclipse/(Rainbow Dash)/[Charming Thunder] Perhaps they won't go on (Will she stay?) [Obey your heart] Perhaps it’ll be a draw (Will she go?) [And duel me] Perhaps their decks won’t serve them (Does she know) [And duel me] And he will fail her (Even now?) [You, me, against all odds] And then Rainbow Dash (Please, Twilight) [Face me] Will get what she deserves (End the duel) Danny Eclipse/Rainbow Dash/Charming Thunder Devil take the hindmost Now it's time No turning back All is on the line Here it is The final dance One last chance To get what's mine Cadence stepped up with a megaphone levitated and she announced, “It is time for the final round of the tournament. Who will become the King or Queen of Games? Once the competitors come out, the round begins!” Twilight was at the doorway to the field with a nervous look on her face as she felt sorry for what she said about Charming Thunder. Twilight Sparkle Devil take the hindmost
