C 4000 Hand 5 L 4000 Hand 5 “I’ll make the first move!” Luna declared as she drew her sixth card. “And I think I’ll start this off big sister! I summon forth Fabled Raven! (Lv2 1300/1000)” A man with light purple skin, black clothes and red tipped black wings appeared in front of the vice principal. “Next I activate his effect! I’m allowed to discard as many cards as I want to increase his level by 1 and attack by 400 for each one until my turn ends. And I choose three! And the cards I choose are Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World (Lv5 2300/1400), Silva, Warlord of Dark World (Lv5 2300/1400), and The Fabled Ganashia (Lv3 1600/1000). Oh, and did I mention they all have their own effects? Since they were discarded from my hand, I get to summon all three to the field!” As Fabled Raven got its power boost (Lv2-5 1300-2500) it was suddenly joined by a purple elephant and two massive, fiendish warriors. One dressed in gold armor, and one in silver. “What the heck!” Sugar gasped as the group stared at the group of powerful monsters. “She got so many monsters on the field at once!” “That’s not the worst part,” Twilight muttered. “Vice Principal Luna’s deck is made up of Dark World and Fabled monsters, both of which are entirely based around discarding themselves.” “They are perfect to support each other,” Micro agreed, despite the situation having his glasses recording the whole thing. “And now that Fabled Raven is level 5…” “I can tune my Fable Raven with The Fabled Ganashia in order to summon forth a mighty beast!” The winged man shot into the air and turned into five green gates as the elephant shrank into three stars. The stars floated up in between the gates and a brilliant light flashed. When it faded, a man with grey skin in black, red and gold armor. “Meet Fabled Valkyrus (Lv8 2900/1700). And now I activate his effect, allowing me to discard a fiend to draw one card. So I discard Fabled Krus to draw and also Krus lets me summon Fabled Raven back to the field!” The winged man took to the field once more as Luna held up her last two cards. “I end my turn by setting one card face down and activating The Gates of Dark World!” The office room seemed to fall away as dirt appeared beneath the duelists and watcher’s feet and dark clouds rolled in. “This grants each fiend an extra 300 attack and defense!” Raven (1300-1600/1000-1300) Goldd and Silva (2300-2600/1400-1700) Valkyrus (2900-3200/1700-2000). C 4000 Hand 5 L 4000 Hand 0 “Guys…” Applejack said quietly to the others. “Are we sure that Celestia can come back from this? I mean…this is insane!” “Of course she can!” Rainbow said. “She didn’t get picked as principal for nothing!” Sadly for them, Luna heard that. “You little…!” she glared at the group and gestured toward them. Fabled Raven grinned manically and flung its arms out sending a wave of razor sharp feathers at the rainbow haired girl. “Rainbow!” the group cried as Fluttershy shoved Dash out of the way, only for one of the feathers to cut the shy girl’s arm. “Gaah!” Fluttershy cried as she clutched her now bleeding arm. “Fluttershy!” Rainbow yelled before turning toward Luna. “What the heck was that about!?” “Maybe you should learn to keep your mouth shut!” Luna said. Rainbow was about to respond when Celestia spoke up. “Don’t Rainbowdash,” Celestia said. “But…” “This isn’t a game! Luna! Why are you doing this to them! What have they done?” Luna growled at her sister. “Why?! You dare ask me that after this morning!” Celestia looked taken aback by that. “This morning…Luna I’m sorry I disagreed with you about punishing those kids but…” “It’s not just that!” Luna yelled tearing up. “It’s what those students….what all students think of me…and all because of YOU!” “What’re you talking…” Raven shot more feathers above the students’ heads. “Shut up and make your move!” Celestia looked back at the students and saw there nervous and worried expressions. She swallowed the lump that formed in her throat and pulled back the tears in her eyes. She turned toward her enraged sister, her face set in determination. “My move!” She said as she drew her card. “I activate Double Summon, letting me set these two monsters and I set one card face down. And with that I end.” C 4000 Hand 2 L 4000 Hand 0 “That’s all? Hahaha! We shall easily crush such a puny defense!” Luna chuckled as she drew her card and some of those watching looked confused. ‘We?’ Micro, Twilight, and Sunset wondered. “Not so fast sister,” Celestia said. “I activate the trap Lightsworn Spiral. Now if a Lightsworn monster’s effect mills cards from my deck, you have to send a card from the top of you deck to the graveyard.” Luna shrugged. “It matters not. First I banish Fabled Krus from my grave and discard Beiige Vanguard of Dark World in order to draw a card with the Gates of Dark World. And next Beiige summons himself (Lv4 1600-1900/1300-1600).” A man that looked like he was entirely muscles appeared carrying a spear. “Now I attack your first facedown with Fabled Raven!” The winged man flung his arms once again and feather tore through the air toward the one facedown, which flipped over to reveal a white and gold wolf. “You just attacked Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter (Lv2 200/100). Now I can target a card like your Valkyrus and destroy it at the cost of three cards from the top of my deck! Which then activates Spiral and sends the top card of your deck to the graveyard!” The white wolf dodged through the feathers before biting down on Valkyrus’ neck before the beast slammed a fist into him bursting them both into pixels as the two duelists milled their cards. “Then I’ll attack your other facedown with Goldd!” As the gold armored warrior raised its weapon in the air the facedown flipped over to reveal another white wolf. “I think you know what happens next! I destroy Silva at the cost of three cards! And you lose another as well!” Luna growl as the process repeated itself as another of her warriors was claimed by the wolf. As they milled cards though, Celestia grinned and two monsters appeared next to her. A large bipedal wolf dress in gold with a spear and a green haired girl with a bow. “Meet Wulf, Lightsworn Beast (Lv4 2100/300) in attack mode and Felis, Lightsworn Archer (Lv4 1100/2000) in defense mode. Both can be summoned if they are sent from the deck to the graveyard.” Luna glared at Celestia as she was now down to two monsters. “I end my turn.” L 4000 Hand 1 C 4000 Hand 2 “My draw then!” Celestia said as she picked up her next card. “And I think I’ll activate the effect of Felis, allowing me to tribute her in order to destroy one of your monsters, and I think it’s time to say goodbye to Goldd!” The green haired girl notched an arrow and took aim at the gold armored warrior. It loosed the arrow and hit the fighter between the eyes, shattering him to pixels. The girl grinned and waved happily as she vanished. “And with this effect goes another three off the top of my deck, and the first off the top of yours thanks to Spiral. Next I’ll summon forth Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner (Lv3 1000/1000)” Onto the field appeared a tanned skin woman with blond hair in white clothes with gold lining and gold bracers. “And by discarding one card, I can summon a level four or lower Lightsworn from the grave. And I think Felis should come back for another go to take down your Beiige!” The tan skinned woman waved her hands above her head and a portal appeared above her. The girl haired girl stuck her torso through the portal and grinned as it loosed another bolt at the spear wielder causing him to burst apart. “And I think you know what we both have to do.” They both milled their cards. “Now! Wulf attack Fabled Raven and Lumina, attack my sister directly!” The bipedal wolf stuck the winged man with his spear while Lumina channeled energy and shot it at Luna, causing her to stagger back. L 2500 As Luna straightened herself she heard her sister speak. “Now Luna,” Celestia said since with no monsters on the field Luna couldn’t attack the students. “Why are you doing this?” Luna growled in anger and glared at her sister. “Why….WHY!? Let’s see. Maybe it has to do with the fact that you always have to best me. Or maybe because you’re always undermining me. Oh, or better yet, how about the fact that the student body thinks you’re so nice, that I should be FIRED AND YOU SHOULD RUN THINGS BY YOURSELF!” The students and Celestia all looked shocked by that. Someone actually said that? “Luna…I didn’t…” “SAVE IT! Just end your turn so I can end you!” Celestia put her hands to her mouth at that. ‘How could I have been so blind…’ she thought. “That’s right Celestia,” a voice echoed in her head. She recognized it instantly. “You were the one that pushed her toward this. Your inadequacies as a big sister is what lead her to me.” Celestia’s hands dropped to her sides. “I’m so…so sorry Luna,” she whispered. She looked at her deck. “If…if this is the only way to help you…” She raised her hand over her deck. “NO!” A chorus of voices shouted. Celestia turned back and saw the group of students looking at her. “You didn’t fail her Celestia!” Twilight said. “Yeah! Everyone makes mistakes!” Rainbow added. “She could’ve come to you at any point with her problems!” Rarity spoke up. Luna heard this and paused for a moment. ‘She’s right…I should’ve gone to her…she would’ve listened….’ ‘No she wouldn’t have!’ the voice said in her heard. ‘She always undermined you! She always tried to show she’s better than you!’ Luna was at war with herself. Part of her agreed with the voice…but another. “And not everybody thinks bad of her,” Fluttershy said before turning to Luna. “We know your job is important Luna, and that you’re fair and kind when it’s allowed.” “And tough when you need to be,” Applejack continue. “You’ve guided a lot of students and set them on the right path after disciplining them,” Sunset said. “I should know.” “Yeah! And…” Pinkie said before pausing. “Hey! You guys took all the good compliments.” “We haven’t been here long,” Spike spoke up. “But from what we’ve seen and heard many people think you’re great.” “That’s right!” Micro said. “I don’t know who those kids were that you overheard were but they’re in the minority.” Sugar was searching for words…but soon found he was in the same boat as Pinkie and just nodded. “You…you…” Luna started saying as tears were forming in her eyes. “Luna,” Celestia spoke. “I never meant to undermine you. I never meant to show off. I love you sister. I never wanted to hurt you. “Sis…” Luna started. “I…” Suddenly a dark voice spoke up. “Oh no no no, that won’t do.” Suddenly a dark aura flared up around Luna. “AAAH!!!!!” She screamed as the dark aura seemed to flow into her before she slumped over. “Luna!” Celestia cried out. “Luna is gone,” a darker voice said coming from the vice principle. She looked up and the others saw her pupils had narrowed to slits. “You can call me Nightmare!” The new…creature…let out a loud cackle as Celestia glared. “That isn’t fair Discord!” the mysterious voice let out a chuckle. “Oh fair, what’s the fun in being fair. Now I think you’ve delayed the duel long enough.” “That’s right dear sister,” Nightmare said sarcastically. “End your turn.” Celestia growled. “I will stop you! I end my turn and with that I have to mill 3 cards and you have to mill one.” Nightmare chuckled as she ditched the card. “And I milled a second Wulf. So he is summoned to the field! (Lv4 2100/300).” Another wolf man took the field as control went to Nightmare N 2500 Hand 1 C 4000 Hand 1
