//------------------------------// // Third Round - Rainbow Dash vs Twilight Sparkle // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! Friendship is Magic // by sonicdash123 //------------------------------// Charming Thunder sat in his seat as Danny came to sit next to him. "That was a close match, Danny," Charming Thunder said. "My guess is that Twilight and Rainbow are next, right?" "Yup," Danny replied. "I'm glad to hear that you were rooting for me." "Indeed. I'm sure that Aunt Luna was too." Charming Thunder then turned his attention to the duel area and sees Twilight and Rainbow enter. "Oh, here comes the next round contenders." Danny looked to see them take the stage as the crowd cheered. "My bits are on Twilight." "Mine are on my girlfriend." Twilight and Rainbow took each end of the duel ring as they had their duel disks on their arms. "Let's have a fair match, Rainbow," Twilight said as she activated her duel disk. "And have fun," Rainbow added as she also activated her duel disk. "Duel!" Twilight Sparkle: LP 4000. Rainbow Dash: LP 4000. "I'll go first," Twilight said. "Draw! I summon Skilled Dark Magician." A black robed magician appeared in front of Twilight on the field. [ATK 1900. LV 4] "Now, every time a spell card is activated, this monster gains a spell counter. I now set a card and end my turn." "My turn!" Rainbow said. "I draw! I summon Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame!" A blue humanoid bird with black wings appeared on the field. [ATK 1800. LV 4] "Next I special summon Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind in defense mode since I control a Blackwing monster on the field." A bird holding with a green head and yellow beak appeared on the field. [DEF 400. LV 3] "A tuner monster already?" "I guess you know what comes next. I tune my Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame with my Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind to Synchro summon. Darkened gales, become the wings which will soar to the heavens! Synchro Summon! Blackwing Armor Master!!!" A whirlwind of black feathers appeared and when it faded an armored red eyed humanoid bird appeared on the field. [ATK 2500. LV 7] "A Synchro monster in one turn?" Charming Thunder said. "Impressive." "And now I---" "Not so fast, Rainbow," Twilight said. "I activate my face down card; Threatening Roar! You cannot attack during your battle phase." "Dang it! I set a card face down to end my turn then." "My turn! Draw! I activate a spell from my hand; Mystical Space Typhoon! I destroy that face down card. And not only that, my Skilled Dark Magician gains a spell counter. Next, I summon Defender, the Magical Knight in defense mode!" A blue armored knight with a big shield and small sword appeared on the field. [DEF 2000. LV 4] "When he is normal summoned on the field, this monster gains a spell counter. I then set a card face down and switch my Skilled Dark Magician into defense mode. I end my turn." "Those Spellcasters won't save you from what's coming. My turn! Draw! I activate a spell from my hand; Black Whirlwind! When I summon a Blackwing monster, I can search my deck for a Blackwing monster with less attack points of the monster I summon. "You do realize that my Skilled Dark Magician gains a spell counter thanks to that." "Yeah, whatever. Now Armor Master, attack her Defender, the Magical Knight!" "You fell for it! Since you were attacking a Spellcaster type monster, I remove a spell counter on him instead of him being destroyed." The blue knight puts up its shield to block the attack. "I end my turn!" "My turn! I draw! I tribute my Defender to summon one of my companions; Dark Magician Girl!" A spell circle appeared and a woman popped out of it as she twirled her wand. She then posed while making a peace sign with her hand. [ATK 2000. LV 5] "Next I activate an equip spell from my hand; Mage Power! This allows my monster to gain 500 attack and defense points for each spell and trap card on my side of the field." [ATK 3000. DEF 2700] "Of course this gives my Skilled Dark Magician another spell counter reaching its limit of three." "I think I know what happens next," Charming Thunder said. "I tribute my magician to special my other companion; Dark Magician!" A spell circle appeared and a staff flew out of it as a figure appeared out of the circle. The magician then catches his staff and poses. [ATK 2400. LV 7] "Looks like Rainbow Dash is a goner in this match." "Yup," Danny said. "Looks like you win the bet." "I set a card and end my turn," Twilight said. "My turn," Rainbow said. "Draw! I summon Blackwing - Bora the Spear!" A humanoid bird with a spear appeared on the field. [ATK 1700. LV 4] "My continuous spell activates so I search my deck for a Blackwing monster with less attack than Bora." Rainbow searched her deck and took out a card from it and added it to her hoof. "Blackwing Armor Master, attack Dark Magician!" The armored bird flew towards the magician and readied a punch strike. "You fell for it again, Rainbow. I activate my face down trap card; Mirror Force. Since you declared an attack, all of your monsters are destroyed. Especially your Armor Master." An explosion emitted as it destroyed all of Rainbow's monsters in the blast. "Darn it!!! That means I am wide open. I end my turn." "My turn. Draw! Dark Magician Girl, attack her directly! Dark Burning Attack!" The magician girl twirled her wand and fired a magical blast at Rainbow. "Gah!!!" [Rainbow: LP 4000 -> 1000] "Now Dark Magician, finish this duel! Dark Magic Attack!" The magician aimed his staff and fired a dark magical strike towards his opponent. "AHHHH!!!" [Rainbow: LP 1000 -> 0] The crowd cheered as the duel came to an end. Charming Thunder stood up from the crowd and cheered for the winner. Twilight walked up to Rainbow and shook her hoof. "At least we had fun, right?" "Yeah. I guess you are right. There is no need to complain about the loss of the match." "The winner is Twilight Sparkle!" Cadence announced as the crown began to cheer louder. "What a flawless victory," Danny said; his eyes widened. "I am impressed." "That's a princess for ya," Charming Thunder said before he continued to cheer for Twilight.
