We TOTALLY should have joined Battle City!", Rainbow groaned, "I'm starting to go duel crazy!" "Now Rainbow Dash, we all decided not to participate because we didn't want to risk losing our cards.", Rarity explained. "Uh...Rainbow? I think you might get your wish for a duel now!", Twilight said as she noticed the group heading in their direction. It consisted of Flim and Flam, Suri, and Trixie. "We've come to settle the score! Right brother?", Film said. "Indeed Film. Get ready to duel miss Applejack!", Flam said. "Duelists Kingdom was SO not fair Rarity! It's payback time!", Sufi said. "Hi Twilight! Wanna duel again?", Trixie said. "Alright!", Rainbow Dash shouted, "LET'S DUEL!" Flim: 8000 Applejack: 8000 "I'm up first! I activate the continuous spell Ancient Gear Castle and summon Ancient Gear Soldier! I'll turn things over to you Applejack." "I set a card face down and summon Celtic Guardian! Next I play Double Summon to bring out Gagagigo and overlay them to xyz summon Gagaga Cowboy! Then I equip him with Magnum Shield and Assault Armor! Now I'll send Assault Armor to the graveyard to let him attack twice during any battle this turn! And that's not all! I detach one overlay unit to boost his attack by 1000 and lower your monster's by 500! Attack his Ancient Gear Soldier!" "Reach for the sky tin can!", Cowboy said as he shot down Ancient Gear Soldier! And then he fired another blast at Flam directly! Flim: 300 Applejack: 8000 "Your move.", Applejack said. Film panicked! "I summon Ancient Gear Box in defense mode! Try to get at me now!" Applejack smiled, "I'll change Cowboy in defense mode and use his other effect. I detach his last overlay unit to inflict 800 damage to you directly." Gagaga shot a blast that knocked off Flam's hat. Flim: lose Applejack: 8000, win Rainbow Dash: 8000 Flam: 8000 "I'm up first!", Rainbow said, "I summon Sapphire Pegasus and equip him with Crystal Release! Next I'll use his effect to put another crystal beast into my spell and trap card zone. Your move!" "I play the field spell Gear Town! Thanks to it's effect, I can summon an ancient gear monster for one less tribute! I summon Ancient Gear Beast! I end my turn.", Flam said. "My turn then! I play double summon Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth and Amethyst Cat! I'll equip Amethyst Cat with another Crystal Release and activate Amethyst Cat's effect! By halving her attack points, she can attack you directly! Next I'll have Pegasus destroy your monster and Mammoth attack you directly!" Rainbow Dash: 8000 Flam: 4700 "I play Ancient Gear Knight in defense mode and activate Ancient Gear Explosive! By destroying my monster, I can inflict half of his attack points as damage!" Rainbow Dash: 7100 Flam: 4700 "I summon Emerald Tortoise in defense mode!", Rainbow said, "And play Hand Destruction to discard two cards and draw two new ones! Now I summon Rainbow Dragon! I'll send all the crystal beasts I control to the graveyard , and in turn he gains 1000 attack for each! Attack him directly!" Rainbow Dash: 7100 Flam: lose Rarity: 8000 Suri: 8000 "I'll go first if you don't mind. I summon Gem Knight Garnet! Next I'll set two cards face down and end my turn.", Rarity said. "I summon a monster in defense mode.", Suri said. "My turn.", Rarity said, "I play Gem Knight Fusion to fuse the three gem knights in my hand to summon Gem Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond! Next I'll use her effect and send Garnet to the graveyard to special summon Master Diamond! Next I summon Gem Knight Alexandrite and send him to the graveyard to special summon Gem Knight Crystal! Crystal, destroy her face down! Lady and Master Diamond, attack her directly!" Rarity: 8000 Suri: 1200 "I give up! Duel's good as lost, see ya!", Suri said as she bolted away! "Well, that was disappointing.", Rarity said. Twilight: 8000 Trixie: 8000 "I'll go first! I play Ancient Rules to special summon Dark Magician and end my turn! Your move Trixie!" "I summon a monster in defense mode and set a card face down.", Trixie said. "I activate Mystical Space Typhoon! And since I activated it during your turn, I can special summon Magician of Dark Illusion! Illusion, attack her monster! Dark Magician, attack her directly with Dark Magic Attack!" Twilight: 8000 Trixie: 5500 "I'm not done yet! I play Dedication Through Light and Darkness to special summon Dark Magician of Chaos! Now Illusion's other effect activates! Since I activated a spell card while he was face up, I can special summon a dark magician from my graveyard! Next I'll set a card and end my turn." "Trixie will now draw! Perfect! I summon Injection Fairy Lily and activate her effect! I pay 2000 life points to boost her attack points by 3000! Attack her Dark Magician!" Twilight smiled, "Sorry, but you won't be making any of my magicians vanish! I activate my trap, Magic Cylinder! This inflicts your monster's attack points as damage to you and stops her attack! Now it's my turn! Go, all out dark magic attack!" "You heard her guys! Time for the big finale!", Dark Magician said as all three of them released a combined gigantic blast of dark magic right at Trixie! Twilight: 8000, win Trixie: lose "Well met once again.", Trixie said, "See ya around!" And with that, the group of rivals took their leave and headed home. Soon, Pinkie Pie was rushing towards Twilight and the others. "Hey everyone! I got a text from Burst! He, Inferno, and Sunset made it to the finals! Next stop, Canterlot's Dueling Stadium!" Applejack called Big Mac for a lift, and they made their way to Burst and the others.
