Friendship is Dueling 3: Battle City Canterlot // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// "Well, four locator cards down, two more to go.", Night said as he looked over his locator cards. "Now all we need to do is find a duel.", Twilight said with a small smile. "Then you're in the finals!" Night smiled. "Yeah. You know? You've got a pretty cute smile Twilight." Twilight blushed! "O-oh! Thank you!" "You're not used to being complimented. Are you?", Night said with a chuckle. "N...not really. Most guys won't even look at me." "Well. Their loss. You have lovely eyes as well." Night wrapped his arms around Twilight. Twilight was really blushing now! "You too..." The two of them were about to kiss when Twilight noticed a familiar face. "Shining!" Twilight left Night, and rushed to hug her big brother! "It's nice to see you!" Shining Armor chuckled. "Good to see you too Twily." Shining tousled Twilight's hair. "So who's your boyfriend?" Twilight blushed! "WHAT?! He's not my boyfriend! At least....not yet.", Twilight said with a sheepish smile. "Nice to meet you.", Night said with a smile. "I'm Nightfall Silvers." "Shining Armor. Twilight's older brother." "Wait. Your name. Pffft!", Night tried to stifle a giggle. "Sorry. Just...too easy to make a joke out of your name. So you're in the tournament?" "Scored five locator cards.", Shining said with a proud smile. "Cool. I got four. So? Care to see which one of us comes out on top to see who Twilight can cheer for in the finals?" "You're on!" Nightfall: 8000 Shining Armor: 8000 "I summon Heroic Challenger-Assault Halberd! Then I'll set a card and end my turn." "My turn!" Night drew his next card. "Since you've got a monster on your field, I can special summon Cyber Dragon! Then I'll summon Proto Cyber Dragon! Now I'll play Polymerization to fuse them together! I fusion summon Cyber Twin Dragon! Attack Assault Halberd!" "I activate my trap! Heroic Retribution Sword! Then I'll equip it to Assault Halberd!" Shining braced himself as Cyber Twin Dragon destroyed Assault Halberd! "Now you take the same amount of damage I took!" Night winced as he took damage from the attack too! "Maybe, but Cyber Twin can attack twice per battle phase! Hit him again Cyber Twin!" "Two heads are better than one!", Cyber Twin said as he fired another laser from his second head! "Then I'll set a card and end my turn." Nightfall: 7000 Shining Armor: 4200 "Since damage calculation is over, your monster is destroyed!" Cyber Twin Dragon exploded! "Now I draw! I summon Heroic Challenger-Thousand Blades! Then I'll activate his effect! I'll discard a 'Heroic' card from my hand to special summon an extra Heroic Challenger from my deck! I summon Heroic Challenger-Swordshield! Now I'll overlay both of my monsters! I xyz summon Heroic Champion-Excalibur! Now I'll detach two of his overlay units to double his attack until the end of your next turn! Attack him directly!" Night cringed as Excalibur's blade slashed into his life points! "I'll end my turn with a face-down." Nightfall: 3000 Shining Armor: 4200 "I draw! I play Cyber Repair Plant! Since Cyber Dragon is in my graveyard, I can activate one of its effects! I'll add a light machine-type monster from my deck to my hand! And since you have a monster and I don't, I special summon Cyber Dragon! Now I activate my trap! Cyber Network! Since Cyber Dragon is on my field, I can banish a light machine-type monster from my deck! Now I'll play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Cyber Network! When Cyber Network is destroyed, I can special summon all the light machine-type monsters I banished to my field! Welcome back Cyber Dragon! Now I'll overlay the two Cyber Dragons on my field to xyz summon Cyber Dragon Nova! Then I'll use him as xyz material to xyz summon Cyber Dragon Infinity! Now I activate his effect! I can target an attack mode monster you control, and attach it to Infinity! Also, Infinity gains 200 attack for each overlay unit attached to him! Attack him directly! Infinity Evolution Burst!" "I activate my trap! Mirror Force!" "I don't think so! I'll detach an overlay unit from Infinity to negate and destroy your trap!" Shining's trap was fried by a laser while his life points took a hit! "I end my turn with a face-down." Nightfall: 3000 Shining Armor: 1600 "Not bad.", Shining said with a smile. "I draw! I summon Heroic Challenger-Double Lance! And since he was summoned, I can bring out another Double Lance from my hand! I overlay my two monsters to summon Number 86: Heroic Champion-Rhongomyniad!" "I activate my trap! Bottomless Trap Hole! Since you summoned a monster with 1500 or more attack, I can destroy it!" A bottomless pit materialized below Shining's monster, and it sucked it in! "Not bad. You managed to get rid of my best monster. I end my turn." "I draw! Let's end this Infinity!" "Time to send the last of his life points to the scrap heap!", Infinity cried as he charged up his attack. "Infinity Evolution Burst!" The last of Shining's life points were wiped out in a flash of light! When the light died down, Shining handed two locator cards to Night. Twilight also walked up to Night. "Looks like I know who I'm rooting for in the finals.", Twilight said with a smile. "And I know just how to fix your boyfriend problem." Night leaned in and kissed Twilight! Twilight was surprised at first, but smiled when Night pulled out of the kiss. "Heh. Reminds me of when I started dating Cadence.", Shining said with a grin. "Speaking of...I still have a recording of you singing that little song Cadence and I made up.", Twilight said with a mischievous smile. Shining's eyes went wide. "Twily! You told me you deleted it!" "It was too funny to delete.", Twilight replied. "As hilarious as that would be, we'd better get to the location of the finals.", Night said as he placed the locator cards on his duel disk. "Looks like we're headed for the duel stadium. Climb on Twilight." Night helped Twilight onto Cyber Dragon Infinity. "Nice meeting you Shining!" And with that, Night and Twilight were on their way to the duel stadium.
