"Alright," Rainbow Dash said to herself as she continued to celebrate her win against Soarin. "I feel awesome!"
"We get it," Applejack replied, annoyed with Rainbow Dash's constant reminding of her win to the others as they walked through the forest of the island. "Ya won."
Twilight laughed and said to Rainbow Dash, "I knew from the start that you would win, Rainbow Dash. You were very good out there." Rainbow Dash smiled in response.
Then, Pinkie Pie suddenly stopped dead in her tracks. "Wait, guys, did we bring any food with us?"
Spike immediately tried looking through his bag for anything as he set in on the ground. To his horror, he had brought nothing. "Oh crap! I got nothing!" As the others did the same, they all realized they had no food.
Rarity facepalmed in response as she said, "Are you kidding me? NOBODY brought food?" She was clearly annoyed. "Ugh... This damn tournament should have provided us with something!"
"You're telling me," Flash Sentry replied in agreement. "I'm sure they have more than enough money in the bank to do that. What's up with the logistics here?!"
"Wait," Fluttershy then said before she shushed everyone. "I... I smell something in the distance near the sea." Soon, everyone else could smell it as well. "It smells like cooked fish."
"Well, there we go," Rainbow Dash immediately replied. "Let's get it!"
Rarity, in disbelief, replied, "Are you crazy?! That's probably someone else's food!" However, by the time she finished her sentence, all but Twilight, Applejack, her, and Spike had ran off in the direction of the smell.
Twilight said in disbelief, "Wow... They didn't even pay any attention to you."
As the rest of the gang caught up, Rainbow Dash was seen eyeing out a small fire pit with several fish cooking in it near a cliff overlooking the ocean. Applejack called out to her, "What the hell?! That's someone else's food!"
"Aw c'mon," Rainbow Dash replied back to her. "It's clear that whoever had this abandoned it for good. We might as well not let this food go to waste." She then moved in and grabbed a skewer that was held over the fire that had a fish on it.
Just as she was beginning to look at it, though, a spear suddenly flew in from out of nowhere and struck the ground next to Rainbow Dash, causing her to jump up and scream. Fluttershy yelled out, "What the heck?!"
A male voice then called out, "What do you idiots think you're doing?!" Then, a younger man with green hair then walked over to the group. As he did Twilight recognized him.
"Hey, wait a minute," she said to him. "Aren't you Timber Spruce? The 3rd place duelist in the national tournament?" Her eyes then lit up with excitement.
"I am," he replied as he brushed himself off. "You must be the duelist that beat Nightmare Moon, or Princess Luna as she calls herself now." He then looked over at her friends. "I see your friends are a bit hungry." He then showed her a box of more fish. "Tell you what, I'll let you eat the fish. You're a great duelist, after all. I got plenty more where that came from anyways."
Flash Sentry by then already had a fish in his mouth as he looked up at them. "Mmm... Mank yomm..."
As the gang finished their meal, Pinkie Pie asked Timber Spruce as she wiped her mouth with a napkin. "Say, where did you learn to fish so good?"
"Well," he began as he cleaned a skewer with a rag. "My father taught me the ways of fishing when I was much younger. Ever since, I've dreamed of buying a big boat to fish, hence why I entered this tournament. Hopefully, I win so that dream can become a reality." He then laughed before he turned to Twilight. "Say, I got a proposal for you."
Twilight, wondering what it was, asked him, "Oh, really?"
"Indeed," he replied as he pulled out his Duel Monsters deck from his pocket. "How about we duel? I did give you guys food. It's only fair." He then pointed to the cliffs nearby. "There's even an arena nearby we can use that pops out of the ocean and cliffs."
Twilight, taken aback, replied with, "Well... Uhhh... Sure, I guess..." She then stood up.
Spike said to her, "You can take this guy on, Twilight."
Timber Spruce then pointed over to a cliff side. "Just gotta press a button located near those cliffs, and the arena will pop right out, complete with a platform for us to walk there and everything. It's really cool, actually." With the push of that button, the arena slowly rose from the ocean, amazing the gang.
"Woah," Applejack said to herself. "This is some high-tech stuff, Twilight."
Once the platform also rose into place, Timber Spruce invited Twilight in. "Come, Twilight. The arena is half-Wasteland and half-Ocean."
Twilight then closed her eyes and let the other Twilight take control. Once she did, she told him, "Very well, Timber Spruce."
As both duelists took their positions in the arena, with Twilight on the half-Wasteland side and Timber Spruce on the half-Ocean side, Rainbow Dash thought to herself, "What kind of Field Power Bonus does Timber Spruce have here? It'll probably give an attack and defense point boost to any WATER monsters he has, but maybe it'll give them other abilities like it did in Twilight's duel with Sunny Flare."
"I'll let you go first," said the other Twilight. "You did feed us, after all."
"How nice," he replied as he drew a card. "I summon Fiend Kraken to the field, and due to the Field Power Bonus, its attack is boosted to 1560! Also, take a look at what else I can do!" He then flipped Fiend Kraken into face-down Attack Position, hiding it from Twilight. "Due to the Ocean field, I can hide WATER monsters in Attack Position, and you can't attack them until I reveal them."
"Damn it," the other Twilight muttered to herself as she drew a card. "Okay, I summon Imp in attack mode and end my turn." She thought to herself, "I need to be very careful. At any moment, he could strike."
"My turn," Timber Spruce replied to her as he drew a card from his deck. "I'll flip up Fiend Kraken to reveal him!" From the depths of the Ocean field before him came a hologram of Fiend Kraken, which amazed Twilight's friends. "Now, Fiend Kraken, attack Twilight's Imp!" Fiend Kraken then wrapped a tentacle around Imp's neck, strangling him until he exploded.
TIMBER SPRUCE: 2000
OTHER TWILIGHT: 1740
"Now I'll have Fiend Kraken retreat back into the Ocean," Timber Spruce said as he flipped the card back face-down. "Now that is what I call my Sea Stealth Attack. I end my turn!"
As the other Twilight began her turn, she looked at her hand and thought to herself, "I don't have a lot of good options here. I do want to teach Timber Spruce a lesson, though. How about this?" She then selected a card and said, "I summon Feral Imp in Defense Position. With that, I end my turn!"
