SCORE: Wilhelm: 8000 VS Luna: 8000 “Let’s get the party started.” Wilhelm said as he drew his first cards. “Or maybe I should’ve said show. I pay 1000 life points to play my all-time favorite card; TOON WORLD!” SCORE: Wilhelm: 7000 VS Luna: 8000 “And now, ladies and gents, presenting everyone’s favorite toon performer; TOON MASKED SORCERER, in defense mode!” (Def: 1400) The cute little monster, made a silly and gawking expression at Luna. Luna was not impressed “You call that ugly little thing a monster?” she sneered “This duel shall be easier than I thought.” “Ah, don’t count your chickens before they hatch…” said Wilhelm “Speaking of hatching, I’ll hatch another Toon. From my hand, I special summon TOON MERMAID!” (Def: 1500) The mermaid giggled cheekily and then hid herself inside her magic clam. “I place one card facedown, and end my turn.” “Very well…” hissed Luna as she drew her cards “For my first move, I shall summon ARCANA FORCE VII- THE CHARIOT!” (Atk: 1700) “The Arcanas…!” Wilhelm muttered. Having designed those cards, he knew fully well they were a force to be reckoned. Their effects were determined by the toss of a coin… The magic coin appeared and began to spin rapidly. The result; Heads! “Wonderful.” hissed Luna “Now when my monster destroys any one of yours, I will get summon it to my side of the field.” Wilhelm growled, and then Luna ordered her Chariot to destroy the Mermaid. “Hold your horses…” snapped Wilhelm “I play the trap; HALF OR NOTHING!” “Ah!” Wilhelm snickered “You have a choice now, you can continue the battle, but your monster’s attack will be reduced by half. Or you can just call the attack off plain and simple.” Princess Luna merely snickered “Fool, you think I am easily intimidated? I shall continue my assault.” With that decision, her monster continued to dash forth, but its attack was reduced to half; 850. (Atk: 850) VS (Def: 1500) SCORE: Wilhelm: 7000 VS Luna: 7350 “Despite that I have lost life points, it enables me to use this spell; DIVINATION OF FATE!” Wilhelm had a feeling that was why she continued her attack. “Since my monster failed to obliterate yours, I may now call forth another creature with “Arcana Force” in its name.” “I’m quite aware of that…” sneered Wilhelm “I did invent the card you know.” Luna grunted “Still, I now call forth ARCANA FORCE VI- THE LOVERS!” (Atk: 1600) With the monster’s appearance, the coin appeared again and began to spin. Once again, the result was Head. “Excellent!” hissed Luna “But since you invented the card, you must surely know what it does. So, I shall now place two cards facedown, and conclude my turn.” “Fine by Me.” said Wilhelm, and he drew his next card, and then changed both his monsters into attack mode. (Atk: 900) (Atk: 1400) “Your monsters may be powerful, but my Toons have the power to bypass them and strike you directly!” Luna growled softly, and Wilhelm then ordered his sorcerer to strike her directly. The Toon, like the cartoon it was, slunk through Luna’s monsters and them popped up in front of her. He stuck out his tongue and lashed her right in the face, dealing her 900 points of damage. SCORE: Wilhelm: 7000 VS Luna: 6450 “And, when my sorcerer damages you, I get to draw one card.” He drew as promised. “And now for my next episode, I’ll pay 500 life points, so my Toon Mermaid can strike you.” SCORE: Wilhelm: 6500 VS Luna: 6450 “Mermaid, attack...!” The mermaid armed her bow, ready to attack, but Luna grinned wickedly. “Now I use my trap.” “Huh?” “Activate DIMENSION WALL! Your monster may be about to strike me, but it will be you who takes the battle damage.” “No!” growled Wilhelm, but it was too late to call off his attack, and just as promised, he lost 1400 points. SCORE: Wilhelm: 5100 VS Luna: 6450 “Silly, fool…” hissed Luna “I told you, I do not get intimidated so easily. You attacked me with your first monster, but that was hardly any concern to me compared to what happened to you. You see, as a princess of my kind, I am expected to be brave and bold. To laugh in the face of danger and never let my emotions get the better of me.” Wilhelm was impressed by her courage and boldness. “Like I said, you remind me of my son-in-law, Mykan. Speaking of which, I wonder how he and his gang are getting on in your world.” In Equestria, the battle was still heating up big time, even the Wilhelm Scream was heard a few times as more ponies ran in fear, or were knocked from high places. Tami had knocked out a couple more ponies. “Tami, behind you!” shouted Marc, but Tami already got grabbed from behind and lifted up high by a pegasi. Tami screamed and fussed to be let go as the pony flew higher and higher. “HELP ME!!” Tami screamed. That’s when Lee soared in and gave the pony a huge fist to the face, making him drop Tami, who plunged down, down, down. Lee quickly jumped after her, and the pony looked ahead just in time as he crashed right through the palace walls. Lee quickly caught Tami just in time as they landed safely on the ground. “Oh… my big strong hero...” Tami cooed, and she tried to pull him in for a kiss, when a unicorn guard came out with a large cannon. “Surprise!” he hissed, and lit the fuse, but Lee made Tami duck down and he himself swerved causing the shot to miss and blow up a tree. Now Lee was pretty angry “Big mistake pal!” The pony went totally numb with fear and could only scream as Lee charged forth and gave him a heck a whap with his stun-sword. Sabrina was faced by many Earth ponies that all ganged up on her, but using her judo skills, she punched, kicked and flipped them all down like bowling pins. The Wonderbolt’s leader, Captain Spitfire, and four more of her flyers came soaring in and had Sabrina in their sights. “Wonderbolts, ready… take aim…!” Sabrina looked up and saw them, and so did I. I came running in, and Sabrina gave me a huge boost sending me up, up, up, and the symbol on my head reappeared, and I gave a thunderous roar as I fired my power in a huge beam straight at the air squad, striking them all, and hitting the palace behind them. The palace rocked and quaked as more boulders fell, and poor Celestia nearly fell off her feet in the stress. “What’s happening?!” she cried out. The air squad tumbled down, down, and crashed into the moat below. Sabrina and I ran off together as more ponies chased after us. Celestia was completely outraged. “What is going on here? My guards, my vast allegiance of followers; they’re all being torn through like they were paper-cut-outs!” She didn’t know how much longer this could continue. “I’m sure Mykan’s just fine.” said Wilhelm “Sad to say you won’t be. I place two cards facedown and end my turn.” Luna was already aggravated enough, and wasn’t about to let a middle-aged human to make a fool of her again. She drew her next card. “Ah, just the thing I needed. Enter now if you will, the LIGHT BARRIER!” Wilhelm knew that field spell as well, and he watched as the area was shrouded in a dome of light. Princess Luna snickered “And now I shall use the CARD OF SANCTITY, requiring us both to draw until we hold six cards.” Both players drew, refreshing their hands, and Luna’s eye twinkled sinisterly. “Now, my Lover’s coin toss was Heads, it counts as a double offering. So I shall sacrifice it in order to call on ARCANA FORCE XVIII- THE MOON!” (Atk: 2800) “A very appropriate card for my background, as I am the princess of the night and moon, and thanks to the Light Barrier, rather than…” “I know how it works!” Wilhelm cut in “It means you can choose which ever effect your monster can play without tossing a coin.” Luna grunted and just went ahead with her move “I activate its ability, allowed me to create one Moon Token on my field.” (Def: 0) “And now, my Chariot, attack Toon Mermaid!” The monster dashed forth. “Not, so fast!” shouted Wilhelm “I activate the trap PUNCH-IN-THE-BOX! It lets me stop your attack, and I can destroy one other monster you control.” The magic box spun its crank, and the big fist launched straight for Luna’s field, and grabbed her Chariot. “I think not!” sneered Luna “Now I use TRAP DISPLACEMENT!” “Ah!” cried Wilhelm. He knew that trap too well, having use it himself. It meant the effects of his trap were now reversed, so his monsters would get struck. The punch glove reversed its direction and struck Toon Mermaid hard, which allowed Luna to send Toon Masked Sorcerer to the graveyard. “And unless I am mistaken, I can now weaken your mermaid’s attack power by the total defense of your downed Sorcerer.” Wilhelm groaned nervously as his mermaid lost all her attack points, dropping her down to nothing! “Now, as I was saying… ” hissed Luna “…Chariot, attack!” (Atk: 1700) VS (Atk: 0) SCORE: Wilhelm: 3400 VS Luna: 6450 “My beautiful Toons!” cried Wilhelm. “Are no more!” snarled Luna “Further; since my Arcana destroyed your monster, the original attack points of that destroyed monster is added to my life points, which is 1400!” SCORE: Wilhelm: 3400 VS Luna: 7850 Wilhelm growled in frustration. “And I am far from though!” growled Luna “Arcana Moon, attack him directly!” “No!” Wilhelm shouted as the giant monster charged straight at him and blasted him hard with its powerful energy. “I activate the trap THE GOLDEN APPLES!” “What?!” shouted Luna. The blast had hit, Wilhelm hard and his life points did decrease, but then they just went right back to 3400 again. “When I use this trap, if I control no monsters; when you attacked me, I regain the points from the damage I took, and I get to summon this…!” That’s when a bright golden apple magically appeared on his field. “What is that?” snapped Luna. “It’s called a Malus Token, and its attack becomes that of the damage I would have taken. That’s 2800 points!” Luna was outraged, and gnashed her teeth softly, and thought silently “This human is more resourceful than I thought, but I shall not allow him to get the better of me. I have many more tricks to unleash.” She placed three cards facedown and ended her turn. “My draw…” said Wilhelm, and he drew a seventh card. “Okay, now I think I’ll start by playing this card; SOUL EXCHANGE! It lets me sacrifice one of your monsters as well as my own, and I know just which one I want too.” Luna watched in outrage as her strongest Arcana, the Moon was taken from her. “Now that that’s done, I summon this; TOON ANCIENT GEAR GOLEM!” (Atk: 3000) “Sadly, Soul Exchange doesn’t allow me to attack at all this turn, so I’ll just place these two cards facedown and end my turn.” “You will pay dearly for having stolen my monster.” Luna snarled as she drew her next card, and then she laughed wickedly. “This will do wondrously, but first, I must toss another coin to see what becomes of my Light Barrier.” The magic coin spun, and it turned up Tails, much to Luna’s dismay, but to Wilhelm’s delight. “Oh, too bad…” he mocked “Looks like your field’s power is negated for now.” “Perhaps…” hissed Luna “However, I am still able to play other cards. For example, I shall activate the trap, RAGEKI BREAK!” “Ah!” gasped Wilhelm. “By simply discarding one card, I am now able to destroy one card that I choose, and I believe you know which one that is.” “My Toon World card!” cried Wilhelm. He knew if it got destroyed, then his Toon monster would be destroyed automatically as well, and he’d be wide open for a direct attack again. Luna ordered her card to activate, and Wilhelm couldn’t stop it, his Toon World card bit the dust. “Now, your Toon monster will fall!” shouted Luna. “Don’t think so!” snapped Wilhelm “I activate the quick-play card; POP-UP!” “What?!” snarled Luna. “Since you have a field spell out and I don’t, this lets me activate a field spell from my deck. In order to play it I must first banish the top three cards on my deck, and now welcome to TOON KINGDOM!” The Light Barrier card was shattered, and Luna watched her magic light cease as a larger version of the Toon World pop-up book appeared. “This card’s name is also called “Toon World” Wilhelm said “Know what that means, it means my Toon gets to stay around for another hurrah, and also all my Toon monsters become impervious to your card effects.” Luna grunted softly, but then she smirked “Ah, and interesting move, but unfortunately there was more to my strategy than you realize.” “What do you mean?” “Observe…” Luna said and she activated a special spell card “Behold the power of THE SKY LORD!” Wilhelm gasped at the sight of that card. Being the creator, he could immediately tell what was about to happen, and he was right…! “I also now activate the two trap cards, THE MATERIAL LORD and THE SPIRITUAL LORD!” Each of the cards required her to have Arcana monsters of specific levels in the graveyard. One being level four, one level five or six, and finally a level seven. She already had a four and a seven, and just recently discarded a level six. “Now, I am able sacrifice all three of these cards, so that I may call forth an extreme creature of such power and destruction, it shall overwhelm you!” Luna shouted as she sent the three cards away, and a huge beam of light emitted from her side of the field as her monster materialized. “Behold, ARCANA FORCE EX- THE LIGHT RULER!” (Atk: 4000) Wilhelm felt a wee bit numb deep inside as he gazed up at the big brute that stared him down. “And now… another coin toss.” hissed Luna as the magic coin began to spin, and it turned up Tails. “Excellent!” hissed Luna. “Oh, no!” cried Wilhelm “That means if a card effect is activated that targets your monster, you can lower Light’s ruler’s attack by 1000 points and negate that effect.” Luna snickered softly “You would know, since you had created it. Now the creation shall obliterate its creator.” Wilhelm clenched his fist softy and muttered “I can’t let this happen!” Meanwhile, so many ponies had been conked out, and there were many fires blazing in Canterlot, and much destruction of property laying about, and yet the fight was still showing no signs of ending. “Don’t these guys like ever quit?!” snapped Clover as she threw another stun-grenade, blowing a whole gaggle of ponies unconscious. Lee was showing off his mad skills with his stun-sword as he battled one of the guards, parrying his lance, and the guard continued to retaliate. “Your shoe’s untied.” said Lee, and despite the guard was not even wearing any footwear, he stupidly gazed down allowing Lee to strike and stun him; “Loser!” The spies, Sabrina and I regrouped and decided to let the rest of our army deal with the remaining ground forces. It was time for us to tackle the main source, and we rushed straight for the palace. “Your majesty, they are coming this way!” cried the guard. “I can see that for myself you imbecilic!” Celestia sneered “This is outrageous! All my little ponies are being wiped out and we still cannot stop them.” “Your majesty, please…” cried the guard “Escape now while you can. We shall hold them off as long as we can.” Celestia, glared at me and the gang, but rather more at me. However, now fully unable to argue, she galloped off into the palace. “CHARGE…!!” we all shouted as we dropped onto the terrace and began to fight the guards in our way. Marc flipped one of them clear off the terrace and into a shrub below, while Sabrina punched another in the face, kicked him hard in the gut, and then actually grabbed him and rammed him hard face first into a stone column. Another gaggle of guards came rushing at us, but Clover and Lee stood side-by-side and used their gadgets to blast the floor, freezing it with ice, causing the guards to slip and fall all over the place. As for me, I wanted to find Celestia more than anything and make her suffer for all that she had caused. Suddenly, I could see her, galloping along the battlements up ahead. “There!” I shouted “Let’s move!” We left the remaining guards, and flew up to the battlement. The spies had to carry me and Sabrina since we couldn’t fly without jetpacks or rocket-boots. “PROTECT THE PRINCESS!!” a guard screeched. And many more guards armed the cannons and fired at us, while others shot at us with their own magic, but Sabrina and I with our hands free, shot them with our stun-guns as the spies tried their best to avoid the shots. “Keep firing!” shouted a guard. “Stop!” cried another “They’re too close to the princess, we may hit her too.” The guards had no choice but to cease fire. As Celestia continued to gallop towards an exit… “Oh, no ya don’t!” said Lee and he threw one of his real explosives as the doorway. POW!! Celestia skidded to a halt, and then saw the door was completely blocked with fallen rubble. She used her magic to blow the rubble clear so she could exit, but it slowed her down allowing us to gain on her. Sabrina and I were let down so the spies could circle around and enclose all other exit ways. Celestia dashed for a bridge path, but Marc dropped down, forcing her to bank right and run down another pathway. Sabrina and Lee stopped her, forcing her to backtrack. Suddenly, she realized that in her initial panic, she had forgotten that she could fly, and she spread out her wings and began to fly up, but Clover got out her special WOOHP rope and tossed it at her leg like a lasso, yanking her down hard. “YE-HAW cowgirl!” she cheered. Celestia crashed hard in courtyard below and I dropped down right before her as she stood, and we glared furiously at one another. “Princess Celestia!” “Mykan Jaden!” I was surprised she knew who I was. “Don’t look so surprised; you and I go back a little ways.” To Be Continued...!
