Chapter 12 Brewing Storm Part 2

It was the afternoon after the race for being captain. Rainbow and the other girls were all relaxing in the hot springs once again, while the boys playing a game on the tv in the dorm living room.

“You did great out there Rainbow!” Scootaloo said. Rainbow chuckled and gave Scoots a light noogie.

“Thanks kid,” she said. “It was never a contest though.”

“I'm surprised Frida hasn't shown up yet,” Fluttershy said, to which Rainbow scoffed.

“Well I'm glad she hasn't! Probably would spend the whole time trying to feel us up or something…” The girls decided to drop the topic. Ever since Frida had joined the group, Rainbow had been bitter about it.

The fact that she and Fluttershy shared a room with the perverted pinkette didn't help much.

“I still can’t believe that Lightning Dust tried to win by tripping you,” Applejack growled. She hated cheating. Rainbow waved it off.

“She was just to afraid my of my skills she knew she couldn’t win.”

“HURRAY FOR RAINBOW DASH!!!!” Pinkie cheered, splashing around and spraying everyone.

“Calm down Pinkie!” Twilight tried calling out, only to get a face full of water. “...If that’s how it's going to be…” That was the start of a water fight that got the girls giggling. The noise carried out to the living room and the boys paused the game to listen.

“What I would give to be in there,” Micro said.

“If only,” the other two sighed. That was when they noticed something odd.

“Does...that look like a green cloud to you?” Spike asked at the other boys nodded as they watched it enter the hot springs.

“Do be careful darling!” Rarity called out when she saw Sweetie almost trip. Then she looked up and shrieked.

“What’s wrong Rarity?” Sunset asked as she turned and all the girls saw the cloud. The boys ran in as they hear the shriek and stared at the gas cloud, that was between them and the girls. They cloud began splitting apart and forming words.

Rainbow, if you want to see your friend and pet again, come to the school roof.

When the last of the words were formed a frilly pink bra with a few pieces of white dropped to the ground as the cloud dissipated. A very large bra that could only fit one person in the school.

“Frida!” the girls shouted. Rainbow rolled her eyes.

“Well whoever it is must have a screw loose or something if they think I would rush to save Frida. Heck, I wouldn't be shocked if this was some kind of perverted plan of hers.”

“Rainbow I'm ashamed of you,” Twilight growled. “I know she's...different but…”

“What did it mean by pet though?” Fluttershy waded over to the edge of the springs and picked up some of the hair that fell and gasped.

“It’s Angel Bunny!” she cried out. Rainbows eyes widened as she saw Fluttershy about to cry. She bit her lip and stood up.

“Looks like I’m heading to the roof.”

“Yeah!!” the others cheered. It was then the girls heard the boy’s voices and turned to see them. The boys apparently just realized where they were and looked up at the girls, the water and steam being the only thing that prevented them from seeing their fully naked bodies.

“AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!” The girls screamed.

Stairs leading to the roof

“We heard you shriek and were trying to…” a bruised and beaten Spike started when Rarity cut him off.

“We know darling. But we had to punish you out of principle.” The boys grumbled as Rainbow kicked open the door to the roof and the girls gasped.

Frida was tied to one of the school flagpoles, struggling, a gag in her mouth and an unconscious Angel Bunny resting between her cleavage. In front of the tied up girl stood…

“Lightning!” Rainbow growled.

“Why hello there Rainbow,” Lightning Dust growled. “Ready for round two?” Rainbow looked shocked.

“All this because you lost the captain position to me...again!?” A bolt of lightning crashed as dark clouds started forming around the school. The girls looked up at the sky and Twilight narrowed her eyes.

“Discord.” The familiar chuckle echoed around them.

“Oh is it that obvious already.” The shadowy figure of Discord appeared in front of them. “I hope something happens that isn’t my fault otherwise I will become too predictable.” Rainbow smirked.

“So let me guess. I have to duel you to get you to let Angel Bunny go?” Frida looked hurt by that but Lightning just chuckled.

“You talk like it’s going to be easy,” she smiled as she activated her duel disk.

“Please,” Rainbow activated her own. “This will be almost as easy as beating you around the track.”

“DUEL!”

The second the duel began, the chaos anklets appeared on Lightning and Rainbow. With those in place the others knew there was no backing out so they made their way over to Frida. Lightning paid them no mind, she got what she wanted.

“Frida, are you ok?” Pinkie asked as Fluttershy took Angel and began looking him over.

“I'm fine,” Frida said. “That psycho Lightning was throwing a fit about being kicked off the team when that shadow creature showed up. What the heck is that thing by the way?”

“Discord,” Sunset said.

“Basically a person warped by chaotic energy and is now trying to escape the school by winning a duel,” Micro finished. Upon seeing the others stare at him, he sighed. “Someone had to come up with a concise explanation for it all.”

“Wait a minute…” AJ said. “How was it exactly that you saw the very moment Discord approached Lightning? You weren't at the track...we're you?” Frida began chuckling nervously.

“Oh look! Lightning is making the first move!”

RD 4000 Hand 5
LD 4000 Hand 5

“I’ll start off,” she says as she draws. “And I start off by setting one monster, two facedowns, and end my turn by activating Cloudian Squall!”

Mixed in with the dark clouds were small blue and white clouds started appearing.

“More on what it does later. In the meantime it's your turn.”

RD 4000 Hand 5
LD 4000 Hand 2

“You’ll find I’m not just quick on more than just the track,” Rainbow said. Frida off on the side couldn’t help but laugh causing Rainbow to blush. “I MEANT I WILL MAKE THIS A FAST DUEL! Anyway! I start off by special summoning Blackwing Gust the Backblast! (Lv2 900/1400)”

A man in a green and blue bird outfit/armor with talon like claws appeared in a flurry of black feathers.

“Since I control no cards I can special summon him. Next, normal and special summon two more Blackwings. The normal summon is Pinaki the Waxing Moon (Lv3 1200/1000) and the special summon is for Gale the Whirlwind (Lv3 1300/400)!”

Two small birds showed up next to the man. One wore a turban and held a bow while the other had large wings and a green feathered head.

“Now I think it’s time for a synchro summon! I tune level 2 Gust and level 3 Pinaki together to form Blackwing Gram the Shining Star! (Lv5 2200/1500)”

The man and turban wearing bird rose into the air, Pinaki turning into three green gates as Gust turn into two stars. A beam of light consumed both and from the light descended a man with black wings in silver armor with a large blade.

“And if you think that’s the end, Gram lets me summon a Blackwing from my hand, and I choose Blackwing Calima the Haze (Lv4 600/1800).”

Yet another bird appeared, seemingly made of pinkish haze.

“And now I once again tune my monsters together! This time the level 3 Gale and the level 4 Calima to synchro summon Blackwing Armor Master! (Lv7 2500/1500)”

“Can we get on with the duel already!” Discord called out. He was getting bored of just seeing Rainbow summon monsters. As he complained, a man with black metal armor and wings appeared next to Gram.
“Hope you’re ready!” Rainbow grinned. “Now Gram! Attack her facedown monster!” Gram flew up into the air with his sword raised above his head. “And I should mention Gram can deal piercing damage. So let’s see how much you’re about to take!”

“Sorry, but that would be zero!” Lightning smiled. “Because I activate my facedown, Spirit Barrier! Now as long as I have a monster, I take no damage!”

The silver sword cleaved the facedown monster in half which revealed itself to be just a small white cloud.

“Good thing my Armor Master can still attack and deal some damage!” Armor Master charged in for a powerful hit when one of the halves from the destroyed monster shot up and blocked the blow. “WHAT!?”

“The monster you destroyed was Cloudian Sheep Cloud (Lv1 0/0) which leaves behind two Cloudian Tokens (Lv1 0/0).” Rainbow growled.

“I activate Supply Squad and end my turn. And with Pinaki having been sent to the grave this turn I can add a Blackwing to my hand.”

RD 4000 Hand 2
LD 4000 Hand 2

“Interesting,” Micro muttered. “Both are covering their major weaknesses.”

“What do you mean?” Spike asked. Twilight took over.

“Blackwings can summon each other quickly. But if you use up all your hand and your move falls, it might take you awhile to get a good defense or counter with next to no cards. Supply Squad will let Rainbow draw if her monsters are destroyed.”

“Meanwhile,” Sunset continued. “With Lightning using Cloudians, most of them can’t be destroyed, but they are relatively weak in attack and can’t be switched to defense mode. That could let the opponent chip away at their life points. With Spirit Barrier, it doesn’t matter that they are weak. They form a near impenetrable wall.”

The other looked back to the duel, worried about what the outcome will be if Lightning has such a strong defense.

“During my standby phase,” Lightning began. “Squall adds one fog counter to each monster on the field.”

Three of the blue and white clouds floated down from the darker clouds and circled the three monsters.

“Then I activate Graceful Charity, letting me draw three and discard two! Next I summon Cloudian Cirrostratus! (Lv4 900/0)”

A cloud that seemed like it was some puffy cat creature with long black whiskers sprouting from its face descended from the sky.

“And when it is summoned, I get to add a fog counter to it for every Cloudian on the field, which currently is two. And if that wasn’t enough, Cirrostratus has a special effect. First however, I activate my other facedown, Natural Disaster! Now by removing two counters from Cirrostratus, I can destroy Armor Master and Natural Disaster inflicts 500 points of damage since it was through the effect of a Cloudian monster!”

Rainbow went wide eyed as the two counters shot off of Cirrostratus and slammed into Armor Master before enveloping its body and shattering it. A cold biting wind whipped up and slammed into Rainbow who had to grit her teeth and stand her ground otherwise she might’ve gone flying off the roof.

“Because my monster was destroyed I get to draw a card,” she said through chattering teeth.

“Well you aren’t out of the woods yet! I activate Fog Control to sacrifice Cloudian Token to add 3 fog counters to Cirrostratus. And guess where two of them are going!”

The girls and boys on the side gasped in horror as the token split into three with one swirling around Cirro while the other two encased Gram and as he shattered the cold wind surrounded Rainbow again as she drew another card from Supply Squad.

“B-b-because two Blackwings were destroyed this turn I can special summon Blackwing Brisote the Tailwind to the field (Lv5 1200/1800).”

A flying man in a green, black, yellow and purple serpentine like bird suit flew onto the field.

“Well,” Lightning tsked. “I may not be able to attack directly but I still got to damage you.”

RD 3000 Hand 4
LD 4000 Hand 2

Rainbow drew her card and smirked a bit seeing a bunch of good cards. She was about to summon some of them when she realized something.
‘I don’t need any power houses right now. Not to mention Cirrostratus will have two counters next turn so even if I summoned a strong monster, it’ll just be destroyed. I should just play it safe for now.’

“I will have Brisote attack Cirrostratus!” Lightning laughed at this and mocked Rainbow.

“Sorry, but Cirro here can’t be destroyed in battle and Spirit Barrier makes it so I take no damage.” To the shock of all, Rainbow grinned.

“Good thing I already knew that,” Rainbow said. ‘Or at least the damage part.’ She took one card from her hand and showed it to Lightning. “This is Blackwing Etesian of Two Swords! When I attack with a Blackwing monster, if you still control said monster at the end of the damage step, I can discard this card to deal 1000 points of direct damage!”

Lightning was shocked as a four armed tengu shot out from Rainbow’s side dressed in blue and struck her hard.

“With that my turn is over.”

RD 3000 Hand 4
LD 3000 Hand 2

“Squall adds a counter to each monster! And now…” Lightning looks at her hand with a grin. “I first summon Cloudian Atlus (Lv4 1300/0) who gains two counters from there being two Cloudians on the field. Next I activate a special little card. Cloudian Storm of Calamity!”

A puffy cloud shaped like a fat man appeared but that wasn’t the main focus. The clouds above began crackling with lightning as rain began pelting the field. The lightning sparked and formed into two eyes and a smile.

“Now for its effect! I can pick any monster with fog counters on it and it can absorb them! And I choose Brisote and Atlus.”

The clouds that floated around the two named monsters suddenly shot into the storm’s mouth, causing it to glow brighter.

“A chaos card,” Twilight muttered.

“You mean like that factory card Flim and Flam played on AJ and Applebloom?” Sugar asked, worried. That card meant bad news in that duel, they could only guess what this one did.

“Once it gets enough counters,” Lightning said. “I can sacrifice it to deal 200 points of damage for each one!”
“WHAT!?” Rainbow gasped. “But...why didn’t you absorb Cirro’s?”

“Because,” Lightning smirked. “Why absorb to deal 400 later when I can remove them and destroy Brisote for 500 now!”

The cold wind slammed into Rainbow again, causing the rain to batter the multi colored haired girl as she drew a card from Supply Squad.

“And now, Atlus and Cirro will attack!”

“Not if I can help it!” Rainbow growled as a purple haze appeared on the field and Armor Master appear in it.

“What the heck?” Lightning growled.

“SInce I control no monsters during your battle phase, Calima can be removed from the grave to temporarily summon a synchro that is also in the graveyard until the end of the phase.”

“You lucked out again!” Lightning cursed as she ended her turn by setting one facedown..

RD 2500 Hand 5
LD 3000 Hand 0 Calamity Count 3

Rainbow’s teeth chattered as she drew her card.

‘I have to get rid of Cirro…And if I get both of these cards one the field I could possibly…’

“I activate Double Summon! Now I can summon both Blackwing Decay the Ill Wind (Lv4 1000/1000) and since I now have a Blackwing on the field, I can summon Blackwing Elphin the Raven without sacrifice! (Lv6 2200/1200)”

A vulture like tengu appeared next to a man with a large bird head and wings.

“And since I normal summoned Elphin, I can switch Cirro to defense!”

“So that’s what you meant by they can’t be switched to defense,” Pinkie commented, seeing Cirro shatter to bits as Sunset nodded.

“Too bad for you I can just activate my facedown Raging Cloudian to bring it back with one Fog Counter!” Lightning smirked as her monster formed again.

“Next…” Rainbow hesitated though she shook it off. Her gut was telling her to do this. “I tune Decay and Elphin in order to summon Blackwing Full Armored Master! (Lv10 3000/3000)”
As the tuning stars and gates turned into a beam of light, a white haired man in black and gold armor descended on black wings with a gun on one arm and a sword in the other hand.

“I end my turn with a facedown, but because I sent Decay to the grave, I now take 1000 damage.”

A purple poisonous wind surround Rainbow and she started coughing. Her friend’s watched in shock.

“Why would she do that?” Sweetie asked as Rarity didn’t have an answer, just as confused as her sister.

RD 1500 Hand 2
LD 3000 Hand 0 Calamity Count 3

“Thank you for cutting down how many counters I need! Speaking of you know Squalls effect by now. And before I do anything else, Calamity shall absorb all the fog counters! Next, I tribute my to monsters to summon the mighty beast! Rise, Cloudian Eye of the Typhoon! (Lv8 3000/1000)”

The two cloud monsters shot into the air and from the sky came a swirling mass of blue clouds with a single large eye in the middle of its forehead.

“Now Eye! Since you can’t be destroyed Full Armored Master! And yes, I know your monster won’t be affected by my card’s effect so it won’t be switched to defense mode.”

“But it still adds a Wedge counter to your monster!” Rainbow smirked even though her card was destroyed. This was just made easier than she thought.

“I don’t know why you are smiling. After all, on my next turn, I get one more counter to add to my storm, and since you were dumb enough to lose 1000 points, one more is all I’d need!”

RD 1500 Hand 2
LD 3000 Hand 0 Calamity Count 7

“I was smirking,” Rainbow started. “Because now I have two ways to end this. First, I activate Call of the Haunted to revive Full Armor Master.”

Lightning went wide eyed as the ground exploded in front of Rainbow exploded as Full Armor step out, his gun hand smoking.

“Next I use Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Spirit Barrier. Now, I could just use his effect to control Eye since it has a wedge counter. But I think I will show you what I would’ve done anyway. I summon Blackwing Fane the Steel Chain (Lv2 500/800)”

A small tengu in ninja gear appeared next to the undead synchro monster.

“Now Fane here can bypass your monster and attack directly, which through his effect will switch Eye to defense to destroy it, allowing Full Armor to attack directly! And I think that is just what I will do!”

Lightning screamed as the ninja dodged around the mass of clouds and slashed her with its talons, causing Eye to shatter and Full Armor to take aim. She looked to Discord, hoping for some help, only to see him look disappointed before vanishing. The blast hit her and sent her skidding as the duel came to an end.

The storm above the school dissipated as the rain ceased. The crowd rushed to Rainbow’s side.

“Are you ok?” Fluttershy asked. Rainbow was panting, but nodded.

“Not a problem,” she grinned. That was until Frida ran up and hugged her.

“Ah Rainbow I didn’t know you cared enough to save me!” Rainbow growled and shoved her off.

“I came to save Angel, not you!” After shoving her back, Rainbow saw something not one of the others noticed until just now, and a blush spread across her face.

The girls went to the hot springs after class. The outfits they had in the changing room were their school uniforms...with white blouses...and the rain soaked them.

“AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!” The girls shrieked as they covered up. The boys were annoyed they didn’t notice sooner as they didn’t get the chance to take a peek...at least until they saw Frida, who was laughing at the situation and not covering.

“HAHAHA! You should see the looks on your faces!” The boys were staring with nosebleeds beginning to form.
“Um….Frida darling,” Rarity started as she held up a large, frilly pink bra. Frida looked at it a second before realizing that it was the one she wore today. She looked down and saw her shirt was see through as well. She gasped and covered as the boys finally couldn’t contain it and flew back from the force of the nosebleed.

When Celestia and Luna finally made it to the roof to see what the unnatural storm was about, they found the girls still covering up while Frida muttered about the boys owing her.
