Akage was hanging around with Pinkie Pie at Sugar Cube Corner. As Akage looked over his deck, he noticed Pinkie looking at him. "Um...is there something on my face?"
"Nope! Just wondering how my deck will stack up against yours!", Pinkie chirped.
"Well, wanna find out now?", Akage asked. Pinkie beamed as she got out her duel disk! "How...where?" Akage was about to continue questioning the pink bundle of energy until he remembered Burst's words: Do NOT question Pinkie Pie. "Heh heh! Never mind." Akage pulled his duel disk out of his backpack as he led Pinkie outside. "Let's duel!"
Akage: 8000
Pinkie: 8000
"Hope you don't mind, but I'll strike first!" Akage smiled as he looked at his cards. "I summon Ninja Grandmaster Hanzo in attack mode!" A ninja clothed in a traditional black gi appeared on Akage's field in a puff of smoke! "Now that he's been summoned, I can add a 'Ninjitsu Art card from my deck to my hand!" Akage searched his deck, and found the card he was looking for! I've yet to try out some of my deck's more advanced techniques. "I end my turn with a face-down."
"Be wary Akage.", Hanzo cautioned. "I sense this girl has many surprises in store."
"Wow! Pretty good field Akage!", Pinkie said with a smile. "Now it's my turn! I draw! YES!" Pinkie was beaming as she looked at her cards. "First I play the field spell Madolche Chateau! Then I summon Madolche Hootcake! Now my field's effect activates! It's pretty sweet! It boosts the attack of my Madolches by 500 points! Attack Ninja Grandmaster Hanzo!"
"You're not the only one who likes surprises!", Akage said with a smile! "I activate my trap! Ninjitsu Art of Super-Transformation! I can target one ninja monster I control and one face-up monster you control, and send them to the graveyard! Now I can special summon a Dragon, Dinosaur, or Sea Serpent Type monster from my deck whose level is less than or equal to the combined levels of the monsters sent! I special summon White Dragon Ninja!" A white flash of light went off on Akage's field, and a ninja wearing a white gi and with a white dragon spirit by his side took the field!
"Wow! That was a neat surprise. I guess I'll end my turn.", Pinkie said with a smile. "I'll just admire my field." Pinkie gave a fond sigh. "I wish this place was real..."
"Wouldn't that mean you'd eat the Madolches out of house and home?", Akage joked.
Pinkie giggled. "Good one Akage!"
"Thanks." Akage lightly blushed. "You've got a great laugh Pinkie." Akage drew his next card. I hope she still smiles even if I win this duel. "My turn! White Dragon Ninja! Attack her directly!" White Dragon Ninja leaped into the air, and rained down a storm of shurikens into Pinkie's life points! "I'll end my turn with two face-downs."
Akage: 8000
Pinkie: 5300
"Nice move! I draw!" Pinkie smiled. "Time for a sweet combo! I play Double Summon! This lets me do two normal summons this turn! I summon Madolches Butlerusk and Marmalmaide! Now I overlay them!" A swirling galaxy appeared on the ground in front of Pinkie's field, and her monsters turned into two beams of orange light as they flew into the galaxy! "I xyz summon Madolche Queen Tiaramisu! But I'm not done yet! I'll use her as xyz material to xyz summon Madolche Puddingcess Chocolat-a-la-Mode!"
"Just what I was hoping for! I activate my trap! Armor Ninjitsu Art of Rust Mist! Since you special summoned a monster and I control a Ninja monster, I can halve that monster's attack points!" A rust-colored mist floated around Pinkie's monster, and halved her attack!
"This is so exciting!", Pinkie cheered! "Your deck sure likes to surprise opponents! I guess I'll end my turn."
"That's the best part of ninjas. No one sees you coming.", Akage said with a smile. "And the biggest surprise begins now! I draw! I activate my other trap! Ninjitsu Art of Duplication! I tribute White Dragon Ninja to special summon a Ninja monster from my deck whose level is less than or equal to the level of the monster I tribute! I special summon Earth Armor Ninja from my deck! Now I summon Fire Armor Ninja! Then I'll activate Flame Armor's effect! I'll raise his level by one! Now I overlay both of my monsters!" A swirling galaxy appeared on Akage's field, and Akage's monsters turned into beams of orange and red light as they flew into the galaxy! "I xyz summon Number 12: Crimson Shadow Armor Ninja!" A ninja clad in crimson armor rose out of the galaxy!
"So. This is the girl who snuck up on you. You're slipping Akage.", Crimson Shadow joked.
"I'd like to see YOU try to avoid her!", Akage shot back. "Moving on, it's time to get you properly equipped. I equip Crimson Shadow with Fuhma Shuriken! This boosts his attack by 700 points! Attack her Puddingcess! Crimson Shadow Strike!" Crimson Shadow disappeared in a puff of smoke! He then jumped out of Puddingcess's shadow, and executed an explosive slash that destroyed Puddingcess! "I end my turn."
Pretty sweet trick, right?"
Akage: 8000
Pinkie: 3700
"That was so cool!", Pinkie beamed. "You weren't kidding when you said this was the biggest surprise of the duel!" Pinkie drew her next card. "I'll summon a monster in defense mode and end my turn. Your move Akage!"
"Um..Pinkie? Not to sound rude, but shouldn't you be trying to set up a good defense against my monsters?"
"Hmmmm. NAH! I'm not much of a duelist. I just like hanging around my monsters! They're pretty sweet company.", Pinkie said with a smile. "I'm just dueling because I thought it would make you smile."
"Well, it's working.", Akage said with a smile of his own. "Your friends are lucky to have you. No one's going to stay sad with you around." Akage drew his next card. "And that smile you have is lovely. Now it's my turn to make you smile. I play Double Summon to summon Air Armor and Aqua Armor Ninja! Now I overlay them to xyz summon Blade Armor Ninja! Now I'll detach an overlay unit and target Crimson Shadow! This lets him make up to two attacks this turn! Double Crimson Shadow Strike!" Crimson Shadow Armor Ninja executed two swift slashes! One that took down Pinkie's monster, and another that cut down her life points! "Now Blade Armor! Attack her life points directly!" Blade Armor Ninja charged forth, and executed a graceful slash from the sky! Wiping out the last of Pinkie's life points! When the dust cleared, Pinkie dusted herself off.
"Wow. That duel was a doozy! I had a lot of fun Akage!"
"Maybe...you'd like to spend time with me more often?"
Pinkie gasped as she tackled Akage to the ground with a hug! "Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou!", Pinkie cheered as she hugged Akage tighty. Akage had a strained smile as Pinkie squeezed him.
"You're welcome. But I think my vision's starting to..." Akage lost consciousness. Not a moment later, he found Pinkie with her lips on his! Akage jumped to his feet, and soon regained his composure. "Uh...thanks for the revival."
"No problem!", Pinkie chirped.
"You know, you smell like cotton candy. It's sweet. Like you."
"Awww~! So are you!" Pinkie hugged Akage. "Thanks Akage. You know, I never thought anyone would ever ask me to get involved in a relationship. Most people think I can't take anything seriously." Pinkie frowned a little.
"I'd say it's just the opposite. You like to make people happy. And that's something you take very seriously.", Akage said with a kind smile. He then held Pinkie on his shoulders. "I like to make people smile too. Especially when things seem bad. That's when people need to smile the most." Pinkie looked down with a loving smile as she kissed Akage again. "Looks like we both make each other happy. Now. Let's see if we can hunt down an ice cream stand!"
Pinkie grinned. "I SHALL LEAD US TO VICTORY!" Akage and Pinkie laughed as they began their ice cream hunt.
