“Next!” said Luna. “The Crusaders vs The Pony Pickers!”
Applebloom and Blueberry Pie stepped forward. “Let’s duel!”
Applebloom LP: 4000
Blueberry Pie LP: 4000
Turn 1: Blueberry Pie
“I’ll goes first,” said Blueberry. “I place one card face down, then I’ll summon Ceremonial Bell in defense mode. Next I’ll equip it with Mist Body, so you can’t destroy it. Plus, we have to show our hands to each other.” She held up her hand. (D.D. Designator, Exchange, Mind Crush, and the Gift of Greed)
“Great,” said Applebloom as she revealed her hand. (Kozmo Dark Planet, Kozmo Dark Destroyer, Kozmo Goodwitch, Kozmoll Wickedwitch, and Kozmo Sliprider)
“Next, I’ll activate D.D. Designator,” continued Blueberry. “This lets me call the name of one card, and if it’s in your hand, I can remove it.”
“But, you can already see ma hand,” said Applebloom.
“I know,” said Blueberry. “So I’ll just banish your Dark Destroyer.”
“Dang,” said Applebloom.
“Then, I’ll activate Exchange,” said Blueberry. “Now we both get to take a card each other’s hand. Problem is, I only have one card, the Gift of Greed. Now you can use it on me.”
“Like that’ll happen,” said Applebloom. “Just pick a card.”
“I choose… your Goodwitch,” said Blueberry. “I end my turn.”
Turn 2: Applebloom
“Mah turn!” said Applebloom.
“Hold up,” said Blueberry. “I activate Mind Crush! I discard your Goodwitch and banish a card from your hand. I choose… your Wickedwitch.”
“Whatever,” said Applebloom. “I play Kozmotown, now I can put my Sliprider and Dark Planet back into mah deck, reshuffle, and redraw. First I summon Kozmo Strawman, then I’ll use his effect. By paying 500, I can target one of mah banished boys and special it back to the field for one turn. So I’ll bring back mah Kozmo Dark Destroyer!
Applebloom LP: 3500
Blueberry Pie LP: 4000
Next, I’ll activate Strawman’s other ability. By banishing him, I special summon Kozmo Farmgirl from mah hand!”
“Oh boy,” said Blueberry.
“Wait til ya see my Destroyer’s effect,” said Applebloom. “When it’s summoned, I can destroy one monster on the field.”
“No!” cried Blueberry. “My bell!”
“Now you’re wide open,” said Applebloom. “Farmgirl, Dark Destroyer, attack her directly!”
“Ah!!” cried Blueberry.
Applebloom LP: 3500
Blueberry Pie LP: 0
“Oops,” said Applebloom. “Now my Dark Destroyer has to go to the graveyard.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take her out,” said Raspberry Fluff.
“Cool,” said Blueberry.
“Let’s duel!” said the two.
Applebloom LP: 3500
Raspberry Fluff LP: 4000
Turn 3: Raspberry Fluff
“I draw!” said Raspberry. “I play Unexpected Dai. Since I don’t have any monsters, I can special summon a level four or lower normal monster from my deck, like Maiden of the Moonlight! Then I’ll activate Inferno Reckless Summon, to bring out two more from my deck.”
“That also means, I get two more Farm girls,” reminded Applebloom.
“I don’t care,” said Raspberry. “Now that have three Maidens, I can activate Delta Attacker, which means they can all attack you directly. But first, I’ll activate the field Spell Luminous Spark to give my maidens 500 more ATK points. (Maiden of the Moonlight x3: 1500 – 2000) I place two cards face down. Now attack, my maidens!”
“Dang it!” said Applebloom.
Applebloom LP: 0
Raspberry Fluff LP: 4000
“I’ll get us back in the game,” said Sweetie Belle.
“Thanks a lot,” said Applebloom.
Sweetie Belle LP: 4000
Raspberry Fluff LP: 4000
“You haven’t got a chance, squirt,” said Raspberry.
Turn 4: Sweetie Belle
“Who you calling, squirt?” asked Sweetie.
“You!” said Raspberry. “I activate my trap! Three of a Kind, since I have three monsters with the same name, I can destroy your three Farm Girls.”
“I already have all I need,” said Sweetie. “I play Fiend’s Sanctuary to summon a token. Then I’ll sacrifice it to summon Aquaactress Arowana in attack mode. Then I’ll play Mystical Space Typhoon on your face down.”
“Shoot,” thought Raspberry. “There goes my Negate Attack.”
“Now I activate Darkworld Shackles,” continued Sweetie. “So one of your Maiden’s ATK power is reduced to 100. (Maiden of the Moonlight: 2000 – 100)
“Oh no!” said Raspberry.
“Now I play Aquarium Set, along with Aquarium Lightning,” said Sweetie. “My Set gives all Water monsters 300 extra ATK points, and every Aquaactress monster 300 more points! (Aquaactress Arowana: 2000 – 2600) Plus, my Lightning doubles the ATK points of monster when it attacks.”
“Oh shit,” said Raspberry softly.
“Attack her Maiden, Arowana!” ordered Sweetie. (Aquaactress Arowana: 2600 – 5200)
“No!” cried Raspberry.
Sweetie Belle LP: 4000
Raspberry Fluff LP: 0
“Muffin?” asked Derpy.
“No thanks,” said Raspberry. “Your turn.”
“Alrighty,” said Derpy.
Sweetie Belle LP: 4000
Derpy LP: 4000
“Let’s do it,” said Sweetie.
Turn 5: Derpy
“I draw!” said Derpy. “I summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman in attack mode. Then I’ll activate Metamorphosis to turn him into Neo Bubbleman!”
“So what?” asked Sweetie. “He’s nowhere near strong enough to take out my Aquaactress, especially with my Aquarium cards on the field.”
“Oh yeah?” asked Derpy. “Say that to my Bubble Illusion! It lets me activate a trap from my hand!”
“Say what?!” asked Sweetie.
“I activate Battle Rush!” said Derpy. “Now, when my monster attacks, he won’t be destroyed, but you’ll take all the battle damage I’m supposed to take. Also, my monster’s effect destroys your monster at the end of the battle.”
“Y-you gotta be kidding,” said Sweetie. “It’s not possible.”
“Wanna bet?” asked Derpy. “I place one card face down. Now attack, Neo Bubbleman!”
“No!” said Sweetie “Now my spell cards activate.” (Aquaactress Arowana: 2000 – 2600 – 5200)
Sweetie Belle LP: 0
Derpy LP: 4000
“Sorry, Crusaders,” said Sweetie.
“It’s okay,” said Scootaloo. “Now, she’s mine.”
“Go for it!” said Sweetie.
“Good luck,” said Applebloom.
Derpy LP: 4000
Scootaloo LP: 4000
“Bring it on,” said Derpy. “Don’t forget about my Hero’s effect.”
Turn 6: Scootaloo
“I won’t,” said Scootaloo as she drew.
"Activate trap!" interrupted Derpy. "Hero Ring! Now my Bubbleman can't be attacked."
“I beg to differ," said Scootaloo. "I play Ancient Rules so I can special summon PSY-Frame Driver in attack mode. Then I’ll activate Emergency Teleport to special summon PSY-Framegear Epsilon from my deck. Next, I’ll tune my two monsters together to Synchro summon PSY-Framelord Omega! Now I can activate Synchro Blast Wave, if I have a Synchro monster on the field, I can destroy one of my opponent’s monsters. So you’re Bubbleman’s about to burst.”
“Oh crap,” said Derpy.
“Then, I’ll activate Future Glow,” said Scootaloo. “With this spell, I can banish a Psychic monster from my graveyard and increase my Omega’s ATK power by the banished monster’s level times 200. I’ll remove my level six PSY-Frame Driver, that’s 1200 more points for my Omega. (PSY-Framelord Omega: 2800 – 4000) Attack, and end this duel!”
“Why me?!” asked Derpy.
Derpy LP: 0
Scootaloo LP: 4000
“The Crusaders Win!” said Celestia.
“Yeah!!” yelled the three freshmen.
As Twilight and her friends walked out of the gym, she walked into Flash. “We really need to stop bumping into each other like this.”
“Uh, you guys hear something?” Flash asked his team.
“Uhh-uhh,” said Brawly.
“Nope,” said Ringo.
“I said,” repeated Twilight. “We really have to stop—
“There it is again,” said Flash. “So annoying.”
“Why are you acting like this?” asked Twilight. “I thought we were friends.”
“Yeah, and then you come back just to beat me in the tournament,” said Flash. “I want this, Twilight. And you're trying to take it from me! Some friend.”
“No,” said Twilight. “That's not why—
Applejack cut her off. “Come on, Twi. We've got things to do.”
“You really think you're gonna help them?!” called Flash. “Ha! I bet you have no idea what you're even doing!”
Twilight walked away in tears. “He’s right.”
The Dazzlings suddenly appeared behind a corner. “Tears already?” asked Adagio. “This is only the first round.” Aria and Sonata chuckled in agreement.
“Next up!” said Celestia through the school speaker. “The Illusions vs The Heartstrings!”
“Better head back,” said Adagio. “Our duel is next.”
As the three walked toward the gym, Sunset blocked their path. “You're never gonna get away with this.”
“Why? Because you didn't?” asked Adagio.
Sunset’s eyes widened in shock. The three girls began to encircle her.
“Oh, we know all about you, Sunset Shimmer,” said Adagio. “You've got quite the reputation.”
“Hey, I've changed!” said Sunset. “I'm in a much better place now!”
“Waiting in the wings while your friends have all the fun?” asked Aria.
“Oh, yes,” said Adagio. “You girls are so tight. And yet... they didn't ask you to be on either of their teams.”
“Probably afraid no one would let them duel if she was in one of the groups,” said Aria.
“Too bad! So sad!” said Sonata.
“If it's any consolation,” said Adagio. “No one is going to remember you at all by the time we're done.” She and Sonata then bumped Sunset with their butts.
“And now, the Illusions vs The Heartstrings!” said Luna.
“I’ll go first,” said Fuchsia Blush.
“I’ll take her on,” said Minuette.
Fuchsia Blush LP: 4000
Minuette LP: 4000
Turn 1: Fuchsia Blush
“He goes,” said Fuchsia as she drew. “I summon Symphonic Warrior Sizerrs in defense mode. Then I’ll place two cards face down and end my turn.”
Turn 2: Minuette
“I draw,” said Minuette. “I play Fissure and Heavy Storm to clear your field.”
“What?!” asked Fuchsia.
“Next, I summon Hourglass of Courage in attack mode,” said Minuette. “Unfortunately, its ATK power in how halved until my next turn. After that, its points are doubled. (Hourglass of Courage: 1100 – 550) Then, I play Photon Lead so I can special summon another Hourglass. Next, I’ll activate Photon Booster. Now both of my monster’s ATK points rise to 2000 this turn.” (Hourglass of Courage: 550 – 2000) (Hourglass of Courage: 1100 – 2000)
“Oh shoot,” said Fuchsia.
“Time to take you out,” said Minuette. “Attack!”
“Ah!!” cried Fuchsia.
Fuchsia Blush LP: 0
Minuette LP: 4000
“Now my monster’s ATK points return to normal,” said Minuette. “I just hope I can survive until my next turn.” (Hourglass of Courage: 2000 – 550) (Hourglass of Courage: 2000 – 1100)
“Damn it!” said Trixie.
“Don’t worry,” said Lavender Lace. “I’ll take care of her.”
“You better,” said Trixie.
Lavender Lace LP: 4000
Minuette LP: 4000
Turn 3: Lavender Lace
“I draw,” said Lavender. “I summon Symphonic Warrior Sizerrs in attack mode. Then I play Frontline Base. With this, I can special summon a level four or lower Union monster, once a turn. I choose Heavy Mech Support Platform, and I’ll equip it to my Sizerrs, giving him 500 extra ATK points. (Symphonic Warrior Sizerrs: 1200 – 1700) Next, I’ll equip him with the Axe of Despair so he can really shred the stage. (Symphonic Warrior Sizerrs: 1700 – 2700) Finally, I’ll activate Limiter Removal to double his points.” (Symphonic Warrior Sizerrs: 2700 – 5400)
“That’s a lot for just one monster,” said Minuette nervously.
“I know,” said Lavender. “And the best part is, I can send my Platform to the graveyard to save my Sizerrs from my Removal’s effect. I place one card face down. Now, attack the weaker Hourglass!”
“Dang!” said Minuette.
Lavender Lace LP: 4000
Minuette LP: 0
“Don’t you worry, girl,” said Lyra. “I’ll take her down for ya.”
“Thanks,” said Minuette. “I hope my other Hourglass comes in handy.”
“You’re on,” said Lavender. (Symphonic Warrior Sizerrs: 5400 – 2700 – 2200)
Lavender Lace LP: 4000
Lyra Heartstrings LP: 4000
Turn 4: Lyra Heartstrings
“My move,” said Lyra. “I summon Spirit of the Harp in attack mode.”
“Attack mode?” asked Lavender. “Do you have a screw loose?”
“No,” answered Lyra. “You’re the one who’s gonna be screwed. I play Double Summon so I can bring out Ojama Green in attack mode! Then I’ll activate Unity. This increases my Spirit of the Harp’s DEF power by the DEF points of all my other monsters, including Minuette’s Hourglass and my Ojama. (Spirit of the Harp DEF: 2000 – 4200) Next, I’ll activate Ojama Country! This switches the ATK and DEF points of all monsters on the field.” (Spirit of the Harp: 0 – 4200) (Hourglass of Courage: 1100 – 1200) (Ojama Green: 0 – 1000) (Symphonic Warrior Sizerrs: 2200 – 1900)
“You gonna be kidding me!” said Lavender.
“Sorry, no joke,” said Lyra. “Finally, I’ll equip my Ojama with Heart of Clear Water. Now he can’t be destroyed in battle. Spirit of the Harp, attack her Sizerrs!”
Lavender Lace LP: 1700
Lyra Heartstrings LP: 4000
Lavender growled.
“Ojama Green and Hourglass of Courage, attack!” ordered Lyra.
“Ah!” cried Lavender.
Lavender Lace LP: 0
Lyra Heartstrings LP: 4000
“Damn,” said Trixie. “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.”
“Oh, I left you a trap, Trixie,” said Lavender.
“Thanks,” said Trixie. “It better be a good one.”
“One down, one to go,” said Lyra. (Spirit of the Harp: 4200 – 2000)
Trixie Lulamoon LP: 4000
Lyra Heartstrings LP: 4000
Turn 5: Trixie Lulamoon
“My turn,” said Trixie. “First, I summon Blast Magician, then I’ll activate the field spell Magical Citadel of Endymion.”
“Oh no, my field!” said Lyra. (Spirit of the Harp: 2000 – 0) (Hourglass of Courage: 1200 – 1100) (Ojama Green: 1000 – 0)
“You haven’t seen anything yet,” said Trixie. “Oh, and by the way, every time a spell card is played, my Magician gets a counter.” (Blast Magician counters: 1)
“What do the counters do?” asked Lyra.
“You’ll see very soon,” said Trixie. “Now I play Spell Power Grasp, this lets put a counter on a card, so I’ll put one on my field spell. Plus, the spell itself gives and my magician another counter each. (Magical Citadel of Endymion counters: 2) (Blast Magician counters: 2) Next, I play Eternal Rest. This card destroys all monsters equipped with spell cards, like your Ojama.”
“Darn,” said Lyra. (Magical Citadel of Endymion counters: 3) (Blast Magician counters: 3)
“Next, I activate my friend’s face down, Reckless Greed,” said Trixie. “This lets me draw two cards as long as I skip my next two draw phases. Now I play Toon Table of Contents and add another one to my hand. (Magical Citadel of Endymion counters: 4) (Blast Magician counters: 4) Then I’ll play my second Table of Contents. (Magical Citadel of Endymion counters: 5) (Blast Magician counters: 5) Then, I’ll use my third one to add Toon World to my hand. (Magical Citadel of Endymion counters: 6) (Blast Magician counters: 6) Now I’ll remove six counters from my field spell to special summon Endymion, the Master Magician! (Magical Citadel of Endymion counters: 0) Plus, his effect lets add a spell from my graveyard to my hand. I choose Spell Power Grasp. Now I’ll remove two counters from my Blast Magician to destroy your Hourglass.” (Blast Magician counters: 4)
“Shoot,” said Lyra.
“Now I activate Goblin of Greed,” said Trixie. “Now I can take 500 of life points and add them to my own.” (Magical Citadel of Endymion counters: 1) (Blast Magician counters: 5)
“Damn you,” said Lyra.
Trixie Lulamoon LP: 4500
Lyra Heartstrings LP: 3500
“Endymion,” said Trixie. “The Great and Powerful Trixie commands you to attack her Harp, while Blast Magician shall attack you directly.”
“No!!” cried Lyra.

Lyra Heartstrings LP: 0
“It’s okay,” said Sweetie Drops as she hugged her friend. “You did great.”
“Thanks, girl,” said Lyra. “I needed that.”
“Now she’s mine,” said Sweetie Drops.
“Let’s hope you’re more of a challenge,” said Trixie.
Trixie Lulamoon LP: 4500
Sweetie Drops LP: 4000
Turn 6: Sweetie Drops
“My move,” said Sweetie Drops. “I play Foolish Burial to send my Charming Resort Staff from my deck to the graveyard. (Blast Magician counters: 6) Then I’ll activate SPYRAL GEAR – Big Red, which lets me special summon Charming Resort Staff in attack mode. (Blast Magician counters: 7) Now, she can’t be destroyed in battle. Next, I summon SPYRAL Super Agent in attack mode. By the way, if my Staff is on the field, and my Super-Agent attacks, then the ATK of the monster he’s battling gets reduced to zero.”
“What?!” asked Trixie.
“That’s right,” said Sweetie Drops. “Next I’ll activate the field spell SPYRAL Resort.” (Blast Magician counters: 8)
“My counters!” cried Trixie.
“Now you can’t target my other SPYRAL cards with card effects. Plus, I can add another SPYRAL monster from my deck to my hand, once per turn,” said Sweetie Drops. “I choose another Super-Agent. Now I equip the Super-Agent I have on the field with Assault Armor. (Blast Magician counters: 9) Then I’ll send it to the graveyard so my Agent can attack twice this turn. But before I attack, I’ll activate Painful Choice. (Blast Magician counters: 10) You know the drill, I pick five, you pick one, I take it, and the others go away. So here, take your pick. (SPYRAL MISSION Assault, SPYRAL Master Plan, SPYRAL GEAR – Drone, SPYRAL Quik-Fix, and Xyz Agent)
“I choose… your SPYRAL MISSION Assault,” said Trixie.
“Darn,” thought Sweetie Drops. “She knew if she selected one of my monsters, I could banish my spell from my grave and special summon the monster she picked. Oh well. I activate SPYRAL MISSION Assault! (Blast Magician counters: 11) If my SPYRAL monsters destroy one of your magicians, or if I destroy one of your cards with one of my SPYRAL card effects, I can draw a card. And thanks to Assault Armor, I’ll be able to draw twice. Super-Agent, attack both of her magicians!” (Endymion, the Master Magician: 2700 – 0)

Sweetie Drops LP: 4000
“Are you done yet?” asked Trixie.
“Yes,” answered Sweetie Drops. “One more turn, and you’re finished. Plus, you can’t even draw, so good luck.”
“Whatever,” said Trixie. “I activate Card Destruction, now we must start over with a new hand.”
“So what?” asked Sweetie Drops.
“Yes!” said Trixie when she saw her drawn cards. “I play Pot of Greed, I can draw two more cards. Am I lucky or what? I activate Pot of Desires, I banish my top ten cards, then draw two more.”
“Dang,” said Sweetie Drops.
“Now I play the field spell, Sorcerous Spell Wall!” said Trixie.
“My Spy Resort!” said Sweetie Drops. “Damn you!”
“Too bad,” said Trixie. “Now I play the Spell Shattering Arrow to destroy your spells and inflict some damage.”
“No!” cried Sweetie Drops. “My Big Red, and my MISSION Assault!”
Trixie Lulamoon LP: 400
Sweetie Drops LP: 3000
“Since I now have no monsters,” said Trixie. “I can play Unexpected Dai and special summon a level four or lower normal monster from my deck. Meet the Gemini Elfs! Then I’ll summon Time Wizard, and thanks to my field, they both get a 300 point power boost.” (Gemini Elf: 1900 – 2200) (Time Wizard: 500 – 800)
“Time Wizard?” asked Sweetie Drops. “You’re seriously gonna risk this whole duel on a coin toss?”
“No,” answered Trixie. “Because the Great and Powerful Trixie always wins in the end!” She then flipped a coin. “Heads!” She checked it, and it was right. “Told you.”
“Crap!” said Sweetie Drops.
“Now, my Spellcasters, attack her and end this duel!” ordered Trixie.
“Ah!!” cried Sweetie Drops.
Trixie Lulamoon LP: 400
Sweetie Drops LP: 0
“Winner, the Illusions!” said Celestia.
“Next up!” said Luna. “The Dazzlings vs The Wondercolts!”
“Remember, girls,” said Adagio. “We want to save the good cards for when our full power has been restored.”
Sonata and Fleetfoot stepped forward first. “Let’s duel!”
Sonata LP: 4000
Fleetfoot LP: 4000
Turn 1: Fleetfoot
“I’ll go first,” said Fleetfoot in her usual lisp. “I summon Raidraptor Necro Vulture. Now that I have a Raidraptor on the field, I can special summon Raidraptor Fuzzy Lanius. Next, I’ll play Tannhauser Gate. This lets me add the levels of my two monsters together on both of them, so they both become level eight. (Raidraptor Necro Vulture Level: 4 – 8) (Raidraptor Fuzzy Lanius Level: 4 – 8) Now, I’ll overlay them to Xyz summon Raidraptor Satellite Cannon Falcon! But I’m not done, next I’ll play Rank Up Magic Skip Force, this lets me overlay Cannon Falcon and special summon a Raidraptor Xyz monster that’s two levels higher. Say hello to Raidraptor Ultimate Falcon! Then I’ll equip him with Raptor's Ultimate Mace, this gives my monster 1000 extra ATK points. (Raidraptor Ultimate Falcon: 3500 – 4500) I place one card face down and end my turn.”
Turn 2: Sonata
“My turn,” said Sonata. “I guess I’ll play Polymerization to fuse Sonata the Melodious Diva and Shopina the Melodious Maestra to form Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir!”
“You’ll have to do better than that,” said Fleetfoot.
“Uh, no I don’t,” corrected Sonata. “Now attack! My monster’s ability like… activates. It can’t be destroyed in battle and I don’t lose any life points.”
“What?!” asked Fleetfoot.
“But after it attacks, the real fun begins,” continued Sonata. “If it battles a special summoned monster, it first inflicts damage to you equal to the difference between your monster’s original ATK points and my Diva’s ATK. Which is 2500!”
Fleetfoot gasped.
“After that, your monster is destroyed,” said Sonata.
Sonata LP: 4000
Fleetfoot LP: 1500
“No,” said Fleetfoot is disbelief. “Now I can’t use my face down!” (Raidraptor Return)
“Now I activate De-Fusion!” said Sonata. “So say goodbye to my Bloom Diva, and hello to my Shopina, and Sonata the Melodious Diva! Attack her directly!”
“Ah!!” cried Fleetfoot.
Sonata LP: 4000
Fleetfoot LP: 0
“Hey, you did great,” said Soarin’.
“Thanks,” said Fleetfoot as she walked off stage.
Sonata LP: 4000
Soarin’ LP: 4000
Turn 3: Soarin’
“Let’s duel!’ said Soarin’. “I play Dark Core! By discarding my Vayu the Emblem of Honor, I can remove your monster from play.”
“What?” asked Sonata. “That’s bad… right?”
“For you, yes,” answered Soarin’. “Now I summon Blackwing – Shura the Blue Flame. Then, I’ll special summon Gale the Whirlwind. Next I’ll tune them together to form Blackwing Armor Master! I place one card face down, then I’ll activate my Vayu’s effect from my graveyard. I can tune him together with another Blackwing in my graveyard to form a Blackwing Synchro monster!”
“Isn’t that like… impossible,” asked Sonata.
“Don’t worry,” said Soarin’. “Its effects are negated. I Synchro summon Blackwing Gram the Shining Star. Attack her directly!”
“Ouch,” said Sonata.
Sonata LP: 0
Soarin’ LP: 4000
“Real good,” said Aria.
“You do better!” said Sonata.
“Fine!” said Aria. “Let’s duel!”
“If she tries to attack, I’ve got Kalut the Moon Shadow ready to go at any time,” said Soarin’ to himself. “Also, I have Black Sonic face down.”
Aria LP: 4000
Soarin’ LP: 4000
Turn 4: Aria
“I play Dark Hole to destroy your monsters,” said Aria.
“Nooooo!!” cried Soarin’.
“Then I’ll play 1st Movement Solo,” continued Arai. “This lets me special summon my Serenade the Melodious Diva from my hand. Plus, if I ever sacrifice her, she’ll count as two tributes. So, I’ll tribute my Serenade to summon Mozarta the Melodious Maestra.”
Soarin’ gulped.
“And my Mozarta’s ability allows me to special summon a Light Fairy monster from my hand, once per turn,” added Aria. “So I’ll summon, Aria the Melodious Diva! Attack him directly!”
“Damn it!” said Soarin’.
Aria LP: 4000
Soarin’ LP: 0
“Looks like it’s up to me,” said Spitfire.
“Guess so,” said Soarin’. “Good luck.”
“Thanks,” said Spitfire. “Let’s get it on!”
Aria LP: 4000
Spitfire LP: 4000
Turn 5: Spitfire
“I play Pot of Greed, so I draw two cards,” said Spitfire. “Next, I play Double Summon so I can summon two monsters. First up, Mecha Phantom Beast Megaraptor in attack mode! Next up, Mecha Phantom Beast Tetherwolf! When it’s summoned, I can special summon a level 3 Mecha Phantom Beast token. After that, my Megaraptor can also summons a token. Now I’ll activate my Phantom Beast’s effects, the two tokens can increase their levels by three. (Mecha Phantom Beast Megaraptor Level: 4 – 7) (Mecha Phantom Beast Tetherwolf Level: 4 – 7) Now I can overlay to Xyz summon Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack!”
“Let me know when I’m supposed to be scared,” said Aria.
“Right now,” said Spitfire. “Now I’ll tribute the two tokens to special summon Mecha Phantom Beast Kalgriffin! I activate its effect, by discarding my Mecha Phantom Beast O-Lion, I can special summon a new token in defense mode. Then, I’ll activate my Mecha Phantom Beast O-Lion’s effect from graveyard, by banishing it, I can special summon another Mecha Phantom Beast monster from my hand. So I’ll summon another O-Lion! Next, I’ll tune my Phantom Beasts O-Lion and Kalgriffin to Synchro summon Mecha Phantom Beast Jaculuslan! Then, my O-Lion special summons a token when he’s sent to the graveyard. Finally, I’ll activate my Jaculuslan’s effect, by tributing one token, I can discard the card in your hand.”
“Crap!” thought Aria. “There goes Score the Melodious Diva! Damn her!”
“And when I have a token on the field, my monsters can’t be destroyed by battle or card effects,” said Spitfire.
“Well guess what?” asked Aria. “Since I special summoned my Aria card, my monsters can’t be destroyed in either.”
“But your life points are a different story,” said Spitfire. “I play Limiter Removal to double my monster’s ATK points!” (Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack: 2600 – 5200) (Mecha Phantom Beast Jaculuslan: 2700 – 5400)
“Holy cow!” said Aria.
“And because of my tokens, my monsters won’t be destroyed, just the tokens. Dracossack, Jaculuslan! Attack her Aria!” yelled Spitfire. “I love my cards.”
“Damn!” said Aria.
Aria LP: 0
Spitfire LP: 4000
“Yes!” said Spitfire. “On my next turn, I can activate my Dracossack’s effect, by using one overlay unit, I can special summon two more tokens.”
“Step aside,” said Adagio. “Let a real duelist handle this.”
“Shut up,” said Aria.
Adagio LP: 4000
Spitfire LP: 4000
Turn 6: Adagio
“I draw!” said Adagio. “You should have kept some tokens on the field. Now your planes are the perfect targets for my System Down spell!”
“No!” cried Spitfire.
“Yep,” said Adagio. “By paying 1000 life points, I can banish all Machine monsters on your field, and in your graveyard.”
Adagio LP: 3000
Spitfire LP: 4000
“Shit,” said Spitfire.
“Now I play Fortissimo,” said Adagio. “Then, I’ll send it to the graveyard to fuse Aria’s two monsters together and form Bloom Prima the Melodious Choir! She gains 300 ATK points for monster I used to fuse her. (Bloom Prima the Melodious Choir: 1900 – 2500) And the best part is, she can attack twice per turn.”
