Friendship is Dueling 3: Battle City Canterlot // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// "Well it looks like things are starting to get down to the wire.", Inferno said as he observed some duels. "Now I've gotta contend with some of the tougher duelists here." "Hey!" Inferno spun around, and saw Garble facing him. "You're the guy who was hanging around Burst Stream! The one who uses Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" "And you're the idiot who tried to use a banned card at Duelist Kingdom." "Sh-shut up!", Garble hissed. "Your deck is Red-Eyes, so you should be easier to beat!" Garble activated his duel disk. "I wouldn't be too sure of that.", Inferno said with a smile as he activated his duel disk. Inferno: 8000 Garble: 8000 "I summon Alexandrite Dragon in attack mode! Then I'll set a card." "I draw!" Inferno looked carefully at his hand. "I play Pre-Preparation of Rites! This lets me add a ritual spell from my deck to my hand and a ritual monster from my deck or my graveyard! Now I'll activate the ritual spell Red-Eyes Transmigration! I'll send 'Red-Eyes' monsters from my hand to the graveyard whose levels equal eight or more! I summon Lord of the Red! Then I'll attack your monster!" Lord of the Red fired a blast of fire from his hands! "I activate my trap! Mirror Force!" "No you don't! Lord of the Red's effect activates! During either of our turns, when a card or effect is activated, I can destroy a monster or a spell or trap card on the field! I'll get rid of your Mirror Force!" Lord of the Red shot a flare that destroyed Mirror Force! Leaving Alexandrite Dragon to be scorched by the oncoming fireball! "I end my turn with a face-down." Inferno: 8000 Garble: 7600 "Yeah? Well....I've go stronger monsters in my deck!" Garble drew his next card. "I summon a monster in defense mode!" "I'm sure you do.", Inferno said. "But it's too bad you haven't setup your deck for special summoning. I draw! I play Red-Eyes Insight! I'll discard a 'Red-Eyes' monster from my deck to the graveyard! Then I can add a 'Red-Eyes' spell or trap to my hand! I'll activate the Red-Eyes Fusion I added! I'll send Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon and Summoned Skull from my deck to the graveyard to fusion summon Archfiend Black Skull Dragon! And since I used Red-Eyes Fusion, his name counts as Red-Eyes Black Dragon! Now I'll equip him with Black Metal Dragon to boost him by 600 points! I'll attack your monster!" Archfiend Black Skull launched a gigantic fireball that incinerated Garble's monster! "Now Black Skull's effect lets me target a Red-Eyes normal monster in my graveyard! I can shuffle that monster back into my deck and deal its attack points as damage!" Garble cringed as flames licked away at his life points once again! "Then I'll activate my trap! Return of the Red-Eyes! Since I've got a 'Red-Eyes' monster on my field, I can target a normal monster in my graveyard and special summon it! I'll bring back Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon and end my turn." Inferno: 8000 Garble: 5400 "Exploder Dragon's effect activates! Your Archfiend Black Skull is destroyed!" Archfiend Black Skull exploded as Garble's fading monster tossed a bomb that destroyed him! "You just helped me out.", Inferno said with a smile. "Since Black Metal Dragon was sent from the field to the graveyard, I can add a Red-Eyes spell or trap from my deck to my hand!" "I draw! I summon a monster in defense mode!" "I play Red-Eyes Fusion! I'll send Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Meteor Dragon Red-Eyes Impact from my hand and deck to the graveyard to fusion summon Meteor Black Comet Dragon! And now that he's been summoned, I can send a 'Red-Eyes' monster from my deck to the graveyard and inflict half its attack as damage!" Flames once again burned away at Garble's life points! "Then I'll attack your monster with Lord of the Red!" Lord of the Red charged with a blazing fist, and destroyed Garble's monster with one hit! "Kidmodo Dragon's effect activates! When he's destroyed, I can special summon a dragon-type monster from my hand! Come on out Tyrant Dragon!" "You just activated Lord of the Red's effect! Since you used an effect, I can target and destroy one monster you control! Tyrant Dragon's about to get burned!" A pillar of flame incinerated Tyrant Dragon! "No!", Garble hissed. "Now I can use Return of the Red-Eyes to bring back Red-Eyes Black Dragon! Now I'll attack you directly with Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Meteor Black Comet Dragon for game!" "Hot enough for you?", the two dragons cried out as they fired gigantic fireballs at Garble! Wiping out the last of his life points! Garble growled as he threw his locator cards on the ground and stormed off. "Looks like you've made it to the finals darling.", Rarity said with a smile. "Yeah. Now to see where the finals are being held." Inferno picked up the locator cards Garble had thrown onto the ground, and placed them with his other four locator cards on his duel disk. "Looks like our next stop is the duel stadium." "Need a lift?", Red-Eyes asked. "Ladies first.", Inferno said with a bow as he helped Rarity up. "Hold on you two." Red-Eyes flew off to the duel stadium with Inferno and Rarity in tow.
