//------------------------------// // The Battle of Canterlot // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! EG: Neo W.R.P.G U.S. Selection Arc // by foxmaster //------------------------------// It was a sunny morning and everyone was busy doing their own thing. Silver and Rachet were making repairs on Fluttershy’s runner and upgrading it. Lyra and Lightning were helping Silver’s mom with her fashion line. The upcoming opponents Silver was told about stilled weighed on his mind but that did not stop him from enjoying this peaceful day. As Ratchet added the final touch to Fluttershy’s runner Fluttershy herself came in. “ Fluttershy you're just in time we just finished repairing your runner and let me tell you it wasn,t easy the crash really did a number on it we had to replace most of the vital parts and systems and replace the frame,” Ratchet said as he wheeled it out. “ Thank you now I can focus on the upcoming citywide duel tournament,” Fluttershy said with a hint of confidence in her tone. “ Citywide Duel Tournament?” Silver asked confused. “ While we were busy in Los Pegasus Twilight told me about this huge battle royal style tournament that is taking place today and I figured since you and your team have two weeks before the next leg you guys would like to enter,” Fluttershy said before reverting back to her usual shy self. “ Sounds exciting Ratchet would you like to enter too?” Silver asked. “ Would I,” Ratchet said excitedly. Silver rushed off to tell the girls about the tournament excitedly. Ruby was busy working on the adjustments of the dress Lyra was wearing and asked Lyra about the battle scars that were still present on her body. “ These are nothing to worry about the doctor said they should be all better tomorrow compared to Silver I was lucky but that huge scar of his is permanent,” Lyra replied. “ Well the men in our family are some of the toughest fighters in the seven seas not even the sailors at the Salty Spitoon could compare to Silver and his father,” Ruby said before she heard a knock on the door. “ Come in,” Ruby said. Silver enter excited to tell Lyra and Lightning about what Fluttershy told him and ratchet. Silver blushed slightly after seeing what Lyra was wearing. “ Sorry for the intrusion but Fluttershy told me and ratchet about a good opportunity to sharpen our skills for the next leg and I wanted to ask if you and Lightning wanted to enter with us?” Silver asked. “ I'm definitely in,” Lightning said as she slammed her fists together. “ Count me in as well,” Lyra said. Ruby told Silver to wait outside while Lyra changed. After Lyra finished changing she and Lightning met Silver and Ratchet by Silver’s garage. All four of them took off for the Rich Dome to sign up for this citywide tournament and maybe pick up some new skills. At the Rich Dome, everyone Competing was waiting eagerly for the games to begin. Suddenly a puff of smoke appeared on the center stage and out of the smoke was the current CEO of Kaiba Corp Mokuba Kaiba and the crowd cheered wildly until he silenced them. “ First allow me to welcome the lucky fifteen duelists to the KC Battle Fest. Before we do introductions allow me to explain the rules of the competition this a Battle Royal style Action Duel where the entire city of Canterlot is the Battlefield and where we are right now is the starting point. Next, let's explain how these duels will work as everyone knows when one duelist challenges another they are required to accept that challenge but here is something you may find interesting if those duelists run into another active duel the format becomes a tag duel with all the stats of their duel still remaining however if you cut in on an active duel without fighting anyone you will take what is called an intrusion penalty and take 2000 points of damage immediately and this damage cannot be negated but don,t worry you won't be disqualified for it you will just be starting the duel with only half your life points so feel free to save your friends if you need to. Now onto the goal of this tournament as I said before, there are fifteen duelists competing and the last duelist standing wins and the winner will receive a very special prize. A very rare and one of a kind card made by none other than my older brother Seto Kaiba before he left. Now that I explained everything lets introduce the duelists,” Mokuba said as he pressed a button that caused the list of duelists to be displayed on the jumbotron. 1: Silver Chance:1000 2: Lyra Heartstrings:1000 3: Lightning Dust:1000 4 Crimson Ratchet:1000 5: Twilight Sparkle:1000 6: Sunset Shimmer:1000 7: Rainbow Dash: 1000 8: Pinkie Pie: 1000 9: Rarity:1000 10: Fluttershy:1000 11: Applejack:1000 12: Indigo Zap:1000 13: Sunny Flare:1000 14: Lemon Zest:1000 15: Golden Rise:1000 “ One last thing I forgot to mention you see that thousand next to each of your names those are called Duel Points or DP for short. This is how we determine the rankings and the winner. Whenever a duel is started you each decide how many points your betting, however, the number can,t be higher than the amount the one with the most has. You lose a duel your opponent gets all the points you wagered and in the event of a tag duel or team up the winners will split the points they earned from that duel. If your DP total reaches zero you are out of the tournament so good luck and have fun, everyone,” Mokuba said. As the crowd cheered louder Mokuba snapped his fingers and suddenly the entire city began to transform into a field with five different fields. “ Welcome to the Action Field Five Great Nations,” Mokuba said as all fifteen duelists were warped to random points on the field courtesy of Blueblood corps newly finished and fully functional warp technology. A few minutes later Silver found himself wandering around a desert landscape with all the building still there. Silver noticed a drone flying above him and remembered the starting point was the Rich Dome and concluded that the duels were being live-streamed back to the audience. As Silver kept walking he was suddenly ambushed by Rainbow Dash and she challenged him. “ We may be friends Silver but for today we are enemies so no holding back on me,” Rainbow said as she prepared her duel disk. “ I always fight with all I got that is a part of my creed, ” Silver said as he prepared his duel disk. “ How many points shall we wager?” Silver asked. “ does 300 sound fair to you?” Rainbow asked. “ Sounds good to me,” Silver replied. With the stakes set and the excitement in the air both Silver and Rainbow activated their duel disks and drew their opening hands. DUEL Rainbow Dash:4000 Silver Chance:4000 “ I’ll start,” Rainbow said as she checked her hand. Rainbow saw she drew a good start and hoped Silver had no countermeasures. Rainbow pulled a card from her hand and made her move. “ First I activate the Field Spell U.A. Stadium. The area of the desert around Silver and Rainbow was replaced by a futuristic stadium. Silver remember this from his tag duel with Rainbow and know what was coming next. “ As I’m sure you remember when I Normal Summon a U.A. monster I can add another one from my Deck to my Hand and on the subject of monsters, I Summon U.A. Midfielder in attack mode. A soccer player wearing futuristic armor began kicking a ball made of electricity around before planting his foot on it. U.A. Midfielder LV:4 ATK:1200 “ Now my Stadium’s effect activates since I Normal Summoned a U.A. monster I can add another U.A. monster to my hand so I add U.A. Rival Rebounder to my hand. A card slid out of Rainbow’s deck and she placed it in her hand. “ Next I return Midfielder to my hand so I Special Summon U.A. Goalkeeper in Defense Mode. Midfielder tagged in another soccer player with futuristic armor only this one was more buff and took a defensive stance like he was guarding a goal. U.A. Goalkeeper LV:6 DEF:2800 “ Finally I set two cards facedown and end my turn,” Rainbow said as two set cards appeared behind Goalkeeper. “ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver remembered how Rainbow’s deck worked and decided to slow it down. “ First I’m activating the Continuous Spell Quiet Life when this card is in play when either of us Normal Summons a Monster we can't Special Summon a monster during that turn and vice versa. Rainbow was a bit upset that Silver shut her down so quickly. “ I may not be able to use my tag out on my turn but I can still do this Activate the Trap U.A. Substitution,” Rainbow said as a trap with an image of midfielder going back to the bench and another teammate coming out to the field flipped face up. This card allows me to Special Summon a U.A. monster from my hand in attack mode so from my hand I Special Summon U.A. Rival Rebounder. A Basketball player wearing a cobalt jersey with futuristic armor appeared and took an offensive stance like he was ready to steal the ball from his opponent. U.A. Rival Rebounder LV:6 ATK:2200 “ And since this was a Special Summon your spell can't stop my Rebounder’s effect since I Summoned him during your turn he allows me to Special Summon another U.A. monster from my Hand or GY so from my hand I Special Summon U.A. Right Wingman. A hockey Player in blue armor with a red hockey stick skated onto the field and slid next to Rival Rebounder. U.A. Right Wingman LV: 7 ATK: 2600 “ But that not the end of my lineup when Right Wingman is Normal Or Special Summoned I'm allowed to Special Summon his partner U.A. Left Wingman from my Hand or Deck so I will do just that. Another hockey player skated onto the field but this one had a blue hockey stick and slid next to Goalkeeper. U.A. Left Wingman LV: 7 ATK: 2600 “ Now that I have both Left and Right Wingman on my field your no longer allowed to attack my monsters because they both have the same effect that only allows you to attack them. Silver was impressed with Rainbow’s combo. Silver tried to lock her and she locked him tighter but that did not mean he was going to give up so he pulled a card from his hand. “ Not bad Rainbow you even set up a great defense but the duel is just starting so next I activate the Spell Next World by selecting one of your monsters I can Normal Summon a monster with the same level from my hand with no tributes required so I choose your Left Wingman. A carpet with a bunch of pictures depicting Indian deities appeared in the center of the field and Left Wingman was laying in the center of it. “ What is that carpet doing to my Left Wingman?” Rainbow asked. “It's just an illusion your monster is still on your field but back to my spell since Left Wingman is level seven I can Normal Summon my Deck’s Headliner without tributing so I Normal Summon my Buster Blader in attack mode. Buster Blader appeared out of the illusion on the carpet and ready his sword for battle. Buster Blader LV:7 ATK: 2600 “ Like that will do any good thanks to your Quiet Life your not allowed to Special Summon this turn so your ace is standing alone this turn,” Rainbow said thinking she had this one won. “ Your right I can't Special Summon this turn but I can Still do this, I equip Dragon Buster onto Buster Blader. Buster Blader’s sword was replaced with Dragon Buster’s imperial sword. “ Now that Dragon Buster is equipped you are not allowed to Summon monsters from your Extra Deck But that’s not all I'm doing I also equip my newest monster Necro Buster Destruction Sword on to Buster Blader. Buster Blader’s imperial sword suddenly transformed into a knight’s sword with a bone like hilt and handle. “ When Necro Buster is equipped your not allowed to activate effect’s from your GY but that's not why I equipped him, for now, I end my turn with one card facedown,” Silver said as a set card appeared behind Buster Blader. “ My turn I draw,” Rainbow said as she drew her second card. Rainbow needed to think carefully before summoning this turn since Quiet Life would limit her to that summon method. Rainbow smiled after seeing what she drew. “ First I Summon U.A. Midfielder in attack mode. Midfielder ran back onto the field kicking his ball around before stopping next to Goalkeeper and planting his foot on his ball. U.A. Midfielder LV:4 ATK:1200 “ Now that my attack force is gathered I Equip my Rival Rebounder with the Equip Spell U.A. Powered Jersey not only does this give Rebounder 1000 attack and defense but any damage he inflicts is doubled so prepare to lose Silver. Rival Rebounder began to power up as his uniform became more futuristic. 2200 + 1000 = 3200 “ Now it's time for me to win this Rebounder attack Buster Blader. Rebounder started to dribble like crazy and then attempted a three-point shot right at Buster Blader. Silver started moving and noticed a clutch action card then grabbed it. Silver looked it over and decided to hold on to it for later and instead activated is facedown. “ I activate the Continuous Trap DNA Surgery,” Silver called out dramatically. “ Oh no that card changes all of our monsters to whatever type you want and knowing you I know where this is going,” Rainbow said a bit worried. “ That's right I choose Dragon and you know what that means my Blader gains 500 attack points for each of your monsters. All of the monsters on the field began to turn into dragonic versions of themselves including Buster Blader who was powering up. 2600 + 2500 = 5100 The ball slid across the surface of Buster Blader’s sword and went flying back at Rival Rebounder nailing him right in the chest and into Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash:2100 Silver Chance:4000 “ Nice turnaround but my monster is going nowhere because I activate Goalkeeper’s effect once during your turn I can Target one U.A. monster I control and during this turn, it cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects and I am using this effect on my Rival Rebounder. Rival Rebounder was covered in a green aura indicating its invincibility. “ Nice save but I’m afraid I won because now that the battle is over I can Activate the Action Spell Battle Dance this card forces all monster on the field to switch to attack mode and they must attack this turn if able. Goalkeeper suddenly took an offensive stance and prepared to fight. U.A. Goalkeeper LV:6 ATK:1000 “ Since you leave me with no choice Left Wingman attack Buster Blader and during the attack, I will activate the Trap U.A. Victory Shot,” Rainbow said as a trap with an image of a hockey player making a game-winning shot into the goal flipped face up. When one of my U.A. monsters declares an attack this card gives that monster an extra 300 attack points for each face-up U.A. monster I control until the End Phase so since I have a full team on the field that's a total of 1500 attack points. Left Wingman powered up before sending a knuckle puck flying towards Buster Blader. 2600 + 1500 = 4100 Rainbow Dash decided to use the attack as a diversion while she searched for Action Cards and luckily found one. I activate the Action Spell Miracle so my damage is cut in half and Left Wingman survives. Buster Blader used his sword to deflect the puck and nailed Rainbow Dash in the head with it. Rainbow Dash:1600 Silver Chance:4000 “ Now it's Right Wingman’s turn to attack Buster Blader. Right Wingman did the same thing as his partner while Rainbow looked for more Action Cards to use. Rainbow saw another one in the corner of her Stadium and used it instantly. I activate the Action Spell High Dive this gives Right Wingman an extra 1000 attack points. Right Wingman powered up and made his knuckle puck shot. 2600 + 1000 = 3600 “ That's still not enough to beat me,” Silver said as he started looking for Action Cards now hoping to match Rainbow’s speed and stop her before the Battle Phase ends. Buster Blader deflected the puck back at Right Wingman destroying him and knocking Rainbow slightly off balance. Rainbow Dash:100 Silver Chance:4000 Rainbow grabbed another Action Card and was disappointed with what she grabbed. “ Well, Silver looks like you win there is no longer anything I can do to save myself Midfielder your turn to attack. Midfielder kicked an electrically charged ball at Buster Blader only for Buster Blader to send it back at him and finish off Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash:0 Silver Chance:4000 WINNER: Silver Chance Silver Chance: 1300 Rainbow Dash:700 “ That was a good game Silver and very impressive how you beat me during my turn,” Rainbow said as she and Silver shook hands. “ I must admit when you summoned your Wingmen I thought I was locked out but you managed to hold out longer than I expected when I forced your monsters to attack,” Silver said before he and Rainbow went separate ways. As the tournament went on many intense duels took place and a few duelists have already been eliminated. As Silver was going through the Fire Zone he saw Pinkie and Golden in the middle of a duel. The board was set up exactly the same way their last duel was and Silver noticed Pinkie was going to attack with Laugh Maker like last time. “ I enter my Battle Phase and have Laugh Maker attack Crimson Dragon with Laughter Spark. Laugh Maker generated a smiley face with electricity and fired it at Crimson Dragon. Golden started searching for Action Cards like last time and this time he managed to grab one just in time. Golden wasted no time in activating it. “ I activate the Action Spell Evasion so I dodge your attack. Crimson Dragon flew higher and dodged the electricity. “ Yay looks like we can find out how things should have ended,” Pinkie said excitedly. “ I have no other monsters that can beat Crimson Dragon so I end my turn lets see what you got Goldy,” Pinkie said. 6900 - 4000 - 400 = 2500 3400 - 400 = 3000 2200 - 400 = 1800 1600 - 400 = 1200 “ My turn I draw,” Golden said as he drew his sixth card. Golden saw the card he drew would have changed everything if he survived that day and now it was time to see how things would have turned out. “ First I activate the Equip Spell Xyz Revival this allows me to bring back Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon in attack mode and equip him with this card. Dark Rebellion came out of a portal and the spell went into him. Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon RANK:4 ATK:2500 UNITS:0 “ Next I activate the Spell Overlay Conversion this allows me to target two of your monsters and turn them into overlay units for my dragon so I will target your Silverclaw and Lizardraw. Both of Pinkie’s monster was absorbed by Dark Rebellion and then turned into overlay units. 0 + 2 = 2 “ Now that I have my dragon back I activate his effect by detaching two overlay units I halve Laugh Maker’s attack and Dark Rebellion gains that attack. Dark Rebellion absorbed his units and bound Laugh Maker with electricity and absorbed half his attack. 2 - 2 = 0 2500 /2 = 1250 2500 + 1250 = 3750 “ I enter my Battle Phase and have Dark Rebellion attack Laugh Maker with Lightning Disobey. Dark Rebellion charged at Laugh Maker while Pinkie started looking for Action Cards. Pinkie found one on top of a mound of hardened lava and grabbed it. Pinkie wasted no time activating it. “ I play the Action Spell Take Flight this gives Laugh Maker an extra 600 attack points sure it may not save him but it will cushion the blow. Laugh Maker powered up before getting nailed by Dark Rebellion. 1250 + 600 = 1850 Pinkie Pie LP: 2100 Golden Rise LP: 1700 “ Not bad but let's see how you handle Crimson Dragon’s attack. Crimson dragon fired a crimson colored fireball at Pinkie who snatched another Action Card in time and used it. “ I activate the Action Spell Weakness this causes your dragon to lose 1000 attack points until the End Phase. Crimson Dragon began to feel weak as its attack continued. 3000 - 1000 = 2000 Pinkie Pie LP: 100 Golden Rise LP: 1700 “ Not bad Pinkie but it's time to end this I activate the Spell Dragon Fire Blast,” Golden said as a Spell with an image of a dragon breathing fire from the sky appeared. This card inflicts 300 points of damage to you for each Dragon-Type monster I control so since I have two that's 600 points of damage looks like that's game. Golden’s spell fired a stream of orange fire at Pinkie and drained the rest of her Life Points. Pinkie Pie LP: 0 Golden Rise LP: 1700 WINNER: Golden Rise Golden Rise: 2500 Pinkie Pie:0 Pinkie Pie: Eliminated “ Well Golden looks like my time in the spotlight is up best of luck with the rest of the tournament and don,t forget to have fun,” Pinkie said before being teleported back to the Rich Dome to join the others losers in the stands. “ This has been a very exciting tournament so far ladies and gentlemen now before we continue showing you the action let's look at the board and see who is in the lead,” The Mc said as the list appeared again on the jumbotron. 1: Silver Chance 3500 2: Sunset Shimmer 3200 3: Twilight Sparkle 3000 4: Lyra Heartstrings 2800 5: Golden Rise 2500 6: Lightning Dust 2400 7: Indigo Zap 2200 8: Applejack 2000 9: Rarity 1800 10: Crimson Ratchet 1500 “ And there you have it folks fifteen started five are out and now back to the action,” The Mc shouted as the Jumbotron returned to the drone camera. Lyra wandered into the mist zone and noticed a silhouette hidden in the mist. The silhouette turned out to be Indigo Zap. “ Prepare to duel Lyra and I'm putting all my points on the line for this one,” Indigo said while preparing her duel disk. “ Sounds good to me I will do the same,” Lyra replied while preparing her duel disk. DUEL Lyra Heartstrings: 4000 Indigo Zap: 4000 “ I will start,” Lyra said as she pulled a card from her hand. Lyra checked her hand and made her move. First I activate the Field Spell The Sanctuary in the Sky and I'm sure you already know what this does any battle damage I take involving my Fairy-Type monsters is reduced to zero but I’m not stopping there next I Activate Valhalla Hall of the Fallen when I control no monsters this card allows me to Special Summon a Fairy-Type monster from my hand and I will use it to Summon Mozarta the Melodious Maestra in attack mode. Mozarta slid down the Bifrost and sang her song. Mozarta the Melodious Maestra LV:8 ATK:2600 “ Finally I set two cards face and end my turn,” Lyra said as two set cards appeared behind Mozarta. “ My turn I draw,” Indigo said as she drew her sixth card. Indigo checked her hand and noticed she drew some good cards and acted. “ First I activate the Spell Photon Lead this allows me to special summon a level four or lower LIGHT monster from my hand and the monster I’m summoning is Photon Gemini Twins. A pair of kids wearing space armor with photon energy flowing in it appeared and stood back to back. Photon Gemini Twins LV:4 ATK:1500 “ And since this was a Special Summon I still have my Normal Summon and when summoning a high-level Photon or Galaxy monster my Twins count as two tributes instead of one so I tribute my twins to Summon Photon Caesar in attack mode. A knight in cobalt armor with gold trim carrying a shield with the same colors and a sword appeared and struck a heroic pose. Photon Caesar LV:8 ATK:2000 “ And when Photon Caesar is Normal or Flipped Summoned he allows me to summon another one from my Hand or Deck to join him so here comes the second one from my Deck. Another knight appeared and mimicked the first one. Photon Caesar LV:8 ATK:2000 “ Now that I have two monsters I overlay both of them to Xyz Summon a monster that will end this quickly. Both Photon Caesars turned into streams of yellow energy and entered a Galaxy-like portal and exploded. “ Mighty Dragon of the galaxy lost between the void come to me now and tear my foes to shreds! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank Eight! Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon! A dragon made of photon energy with hardened parts in certain areas and blinding wings slowly descended and unleashed a mighty roar Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon RANK:8 ATK:3000 UNITS:2 “ Now I activate Cipher Dragon’s effect by detaching an overlay unit Not only do I gain control of one of your monsters but that monster also becomes an exact copy of my dragon with its effect negated however only the original can attack directly this turn go Cipher Projection. Galaxy-Eyes sent out waves of light that enveloped Mozarta and snatched her up and sent her onto Indigo’s field before she transformed into an exact duplicate of Cipher Dragon. 2 - 1 = 1 2600 + 400 = 3000 “ But don't think I'm finished just yet because now I’m busting out the Continuous Spell Cipher Interference while I control two or more Cipher monsters with the same name when one of them attacks its current attack points are doubled during damage calculation. Indigo was about ready to finish Lyra off until she remembered her set cards and noticed she drew the perfect card to secure her victory. “ Almost forgot about your back row and to get rid of it I activate the Spell Galaxy-Eyes Mealstorm,” Indigo said as a spell with an image of Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon unleashing all its fury on a dead planet appeared. I can only activate this card while I control a Galaxy-Eyes monster and it allows me to destroy one Spell or Trap card on the field for each Face-Up Galaxy-Eyes monster I control and just so you know the monster I stole with Cipher Dragon’s effect counts as well so say goodbye to your face-down cards. Both of Indigo’s dragons unleashed a mighty blast of energy on both of Lyra’s set cards which revealed to be Defense Draw and Draining Shield. “ Now that I have a clear shot it's time to battle Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon attack Lyra directly with Cipher Stream of Destruction and now Cipher Interference will double its attack points it was nice knowing you Heartstrings. The blast grew stronger as it came closer. 3000 x 2 = 6000 Lyra was sweating after seeing the attack come right towards her without any way to defend herself until a bird appeared right in front of her and took the hit for her. “ Who said you could finish my friend off so quickly Indigo,” A silhouette said from inside the mist. Lyra recognized that voice and was very relieved to see her come to her rescue. To Be Continued
