//------------------------------// // Power of the Red Eyes // Story: MLP: FIM Duel Monster // by Norwegian boy //------------------------------// After the battle, Roseluck fell on her butt and she didn’t know why. Rose had no idea why she lost her balance, was it because she was attack by that monster or she was overwhelmed by the whole thing? Whatever it was, she liked it and she wanted to duel again. “You okay?” Rose look up and saw Kamaki holding out her hand, the pony took it and the human pulled her up. “Yes, I’m okay. Thank you.” Rose told kamaki while she brushed of her pants. Kamaki smiled. “That’s good to hear. So, was it any fun?” She asked Rose. Roseluck look at the duel disk and smiled. “Yes, I had fun.” Then she realized something. “Wait, did you duel me to lift me spirit?” She asked the human. Kamaki placed both hands behind her head. “You could say that, dueling always make me happy and when I saw how sad you were, I thought a duel could make you smile. I like when you smile.” That made Rose blush like crazy, she didn’t expect that. She recovered fast. “So, do you want your cards back?” She didn’t want to but they weren’t hers. “No, keep them but there’s a catch.” There always are. “We are going to have a tournament in a few days to introduce duel monster to Equestria and I’m looking for ponies that can duel in the tournament, I was hoping you would participate.” Roseluck wasn’t sure. “Something tells I have to give the cards back if I say no.” “I’m afraid so.” Rose knew she would say that. Should she do it? She had fun and if she said yes she could duel again and maybe she wouldn’t make so many mistake. “You know what, I’ll do it. I had fun and I want to duel again. Who ells is going to participate?” “For now, you and Celestia.” Rose’s eyes widen when she heard Celestia’s name. “Princess Celestia is going to participate? Tell me your joking.” She exclaimed. Kamaki had to back away a little, she had no idea why she yelled. “What’s the big deal? I duel against Celestia and I didn’t panic, I had fun.” It didn’t help, Rose was still panicking. “You may don’t think it’s a big deal, you’re not from around here. If I ended up dueling the princess and won she could throw me in jail.” Rose then started to breath heavily. Kamaki decided to try and calm the pony down. “Okay, I think your overreacting. I duel against her and I won, I didn’t end up in jail. She actually smiled as she lost.” Roseluck managed to calm down “Really?” Kamaki nodded. “Maybe I’m overreacting, it’s just a card game.” Rose look at the deck. “Alright, I will still participate.” That made Kamaki smile. ”Great. By the way, I never got your name.” Rose blink a few times. “You didn’t.” Kamaki shock her head. “Right, my name is Roseluck.” “A nice name.” Kamaki was about to go when she remember something. “You may keep the deck but not the duel disk, I only have two and Pegasus would probably fire me if I lost one.” Rose took it off and handed it to Kamaki. “So, who is this Pegasus you mention?” Kamaki placed both duel disks back in the backpack. “He’s from my world and he created the cards you used in our duel.” Rose look at the card and was amazed how creative this Pegasus. “He also wanted to sell duel monster in Equestria and you know how.” She then placed a backpack on her back. “Well, I’ll see you around Roseluck and keep an eye on the paper, something tells me the tournament will be mentioned there.” She then started to walk. Rose just watch as Kamaki disappeared around the corner of her house and she couldn’t help but think that she wasn’t that scary, she was nice. While Kamaki and Rose was dueling, a certain dragon had learn about Kamaki and the card game she had brought with her and he was not happy that Twilight didn’t bring him along. “Why didn’t you bring me with you for this?” Spike asked Twilight with some frustration in his voice. “There is no need to raise your voice Spike, it’s not a big a deal.” Said Twilight while placing books in the bookshelf’s.” “Not a big deal? You always leave me out of things that happens in Ponyville, while you and your friends go out on an adventure I have to stay here and do your work.” He told her while pointing at her. Twilight turned to him and crossed her arms. “Name one time I have done that.” “Oh, I can name more than one. What about that time Celestia was visiting Ponyville, you decided to go and see how the preparation was going while I had to stay and clean up the mess you made.” Twilight remember that. “Then there was the time you girls went to talk to the dragon, I had to stay and take care of Fluttershy’s animal when you could have brought me with you because I’m a dragon.” Spike had a point. “Then there was Zecora, I found the solution to the problem but you didn’t listen.” Now Twilight felt guilty. “I don’t think I’m your assistant, I’m your fucking servant and I had enough of this crap. From now you can cook your own meal, you can clean the library yourself because I quit.” And before Twilight could respond, Spike had left. After Spike left the library he decided to wander Ponyville to try and calm down. “Stupide Twilight, always bossing me around and not invite me along when she and her friends go on an adventure.” He should be angry at Applejack and the others but it wasn’t their fault, they just went along whatever Twilight said and did. “Sometimes I wish that princess Celestia didn’t give my egg to Twilight.” He keep on walking. Spike had no idea how long he had walked but he notice he had ended up in the park. “Huh, how did I get here?” He asked himself as he look around and he could see kids playing at playground, some ponies had a picnic and others was sitting on benches, talking. There was one that got Spike attention and that was the creature that was not a pony, the human. “That must be that Kamaki Twilight mention.” He saw that she sat down on a bench. “Ha, that felt good.” After her duel with Roseluck, Kamaki found the park and decided to take a break on one of the benches there, she needed to relax a little. She was more tired than she realized, the two duels she had took more energy than she thought. “I hope I don’t have to duel more today.” She said to herself. Then Dark magician girl appeared behind. “There’s a change that you will not get your wish granted.” She told Kamaki. The human look at the spirit. “What are you talking about?” She asked the magician who just pointed at something or someone so Kamaki look where she pointing and boy was she surprised, walking towards them was purple/green dragon. “Of course they have dragons in this world, they have magic.” Kamaki mumble to herself. Spike stop right in front of Kamaki. “Your that human that played a card game against princess Celestia, right?” He asked the human. Kamaki raised an eyebrow. “I am.” She was curious was this dragon wanted. Spike got a serious look on him. “I want to play this card game.” Kamaki kind of knew he would say that. “And what’s the reason for this?” She didn’t know. “I want to get back at Twilight.” Now Kamaki was confused. “She didn’t tell me of what happened when you arrived, I was left out but she isn’t around to tell me what to do so I want to play your card game.” Kamaki had heard many excuse when it came to dueling but this was just pathetic. “Sorry kid, it’s not going to happened.” She leaned her head back and closed her eyes. “Why?” Spike exclaimed. “Why?” Kamaki look at Spike. “You only want to get back a Twilight for a reason that sounded dumb, your felling left out and that had made you angry, I don’t duel against does who are angry.” Spike tried to say something but she was right, he was angry and that clouded his judgment. “Your right, I am angry. I’m angry that Twilight and her friends goes on adventure and I have to stay home and do Twilight’s work, I cook for her, I clean, I do everything she says and what do I get in return? Nothing.” He then started to cry. “I feel worthless.” Even more tears came. Kamaki just watch as this dragon cry and she could help but feel sorry for him. “I hope I don’t regret this.” She sat up. “What’s your name?” She asked him. “It’s Spike.” He said between he crying. “Look Spike, it sound like Twilight is treating you badly but this way is not the way to ‘get back’ at her. It’s a stupide reason.” Spike look down on the ground in shame. “But I’m going to let you play,” Spike look up in surprised, he didn’t expect to hear her say that. “There is one thing I don’t like to see is other crying, so let’s change that with a duel.” She grabbed her backpack and started to search through it. “I think you will like this deck.” She hand him a deck. Spike happily took them and saw the first card, it was a black dragon. "Red-Eyes Black Dragon?" Kamaki nodded. “Yeap, that’s the name of the card and most of the other cards are similar to the Red Eyes.” Spike could only say one thing to that. “Cool. So, how does this work?” “We both get 4000 life points which have to get down to zero by the help of monster, spell and trap cards. We also use these.” Spike watch as Kamaki took out two metal devices. “These are duel disk and they make the game a little more fun, which you will see in a moment.” She then gave one of them to Spike. “Now, let’s duel.” Kamaki gave Spike a few minutes with the deck and the rule book, the dragon then strap the duel disk on his left arm, they picked their five cards and they were ready. Kamaki: 4000 Spike: 4000 “We have a saying on my world, ladies first. I draw.” She drew her card and look at them, they were: Lemuria, the Forgotten City, Legendary Atlantean Tridon, Poseidon Wave, Surface, and 2 Atlantean Pikeman's. “This could work. I’m going to summon out Legendary Pikeman (atk: 1800 def:0) in defense mode.” Kamaki placed a card on the disk and out came a green fish thing and it was standing on its knee, it had a spear in its hand. Spike was surprised of what she did. “How did you do that?” She asked Kamaki. Kamaki could only think déjà vu. “It’s the duel disk, it creates a 3D images of the card you place on the disk.” Spike thought it was cool. “It’s your turn.” Before Spike could anything, the ponies around them had notice the duel and they was wondering what was going on. They decided to watch. Spike drew his card and the cards he was holding: The Black Stone of Legend, Red Eyes Black Dragon, Red Eyes Baby Dragon, Red Eyes Soul, Cards of the Red Stone, Red Eyes Spirit. Spike knew what he should play. “Alright, I will summon The Black Stone of Legend (atk:0 def:0) in attack mode.” Spike placed the card on the duel disk and a red stone appeared, Kamaki knew what came next. “Then I am going to tribute it and I can then summon Red Eyes Black Dragon from my hand.” (atk 2400 def: 2000) Spike send Black Stone to the graveyard and he then placed Red Eyes on the disk and out came a black dragon. “Now Red Eyes, attack Kamaki monster.” Red Eyes fired away a ball of fire that destroyed Pikeman. The ponies that was watching couldn’t believe what they were seeing, Spike and the human managed to summon out monsters without using magic. They were frightened and amazed at the same time, they also wanted to know what they were playing. Then it was Kamaki turn, she drew her card and it was Atlantean Attack Squad, it could come in handy but not right now. “I’m going to summon another Pikeman, in attack mode.” Another fish with a spear appeared. “Then I’m going to activate the spell card surface, his card let me summon 1 level 3 or lower sea serpent from my graveyard in defense position, come on back Pikeman.” Another green fish with spear appeared, kneeling. Kamaki then took another card. “I think it’s time we change the scenery, I activate the field spell Lemuria, the forgotten city.” Kamaki placed the card in the extra slot that appeared on the duel disk and then an entire city appeared, it was also underwater. “Here all water monster gain 200 attack and defense points.” Both of her monsters became stronger. “and now I’m going to active another effect of Lemuria, I can raise the level of my monster equal to the number of water monster I have out on the field, since I have two water monster they both becomes level 4.” Spike watch as both of them became level 4, he could only wonder why. “Now I overlay both of my Pikeman so I can Xyz summon Abyss Dweller." (atk: 1700 def:1400) She placed both Pikeman cards on top of each other and then she summon a new monster, it was giant black sea serpent with yellow eyes which scared some of the ponies that was watching. Not Spike, he thought it was cool. “Thanks to Lemuria, it’s get 200 attack and defense points.” It did that. “Then I place one card face down and end my turn.” Spike and the ponies was amazed how Kamaki summoned that monster, Spike wonder how if he could do that. He then drew the card, it was Red Eyes Wyvern. Spike wasn’t about to use that now, he grabbed a card. “I’m going to summon Red Eyes baby Dragon (atk:1200 def: 700) in defense mode.” A small version of Red Eyes appeared. “Now, Red Eyes Black Dragon, attack Kamaki monster.” Red Eyes fired away another fire ball. Kamaki was ready. “I activate a trap, Poseidon Wave.” A card flip. “What this card does is negate your attack,” Water came out of the card and extinguished the fire ball. “and then you take 800 points of damage for every sea serpent monster I have out on the field and I have one.” A wind came from the card which struck Spike. Spike: 3200 So, that was a trap card, Spike saw that he had one to. “I place one card face down and end my turn.” The ponies had no idea what just happened, but it look like Spike was losing. Kamaki drew her card, it was Rage of Kairyu-Shin. “Alright, summon Atlantean Attack Squad.” (atk: 1400 def:0) A green fish with a sword and shield appeared. “Thanks to Lemuria it’s gets 200 extra attack and defense point, and thanks to it special ability, it’s get 800 extra attack points when there are another sea serpent on the field and I have one.” The attack points became 2400. “And I’m not done yet, thanks to Abyss Dweller, attack squad gets another 500 attack point.” It was now 2900. “Now, Atlantean Attack Squad attack Spike’s Red Eyes.” Attack squad attack with its sword and Red Eyes was destroyed. “Abyss Dweller, attack Red Eyes baby dragon.” The sea serpent attack with water from its mouth destroying Spike’s last monster. “I end my turn.” Spike: 2700 Spike knew he was losing but right now, he didn’t care, he as having way to much fun. “I draw.” He drew the card and it was Red Eyes Alternative Black Dragon and he like what he read on the card, but first. “I active black stone of legend special ability, while this card is in the graveyard I can retrieve a level 1 or 7 Red Eyes monster and shuffled it back to my deck, I chose Red Eyes baby Dragon.” Before he could do that. “I don’t think so.” Spike stop. “I activate Abyss Dweller special ability, by removing one overlay unit which means you can’t activate any card effects in your graveyard this turn.” Abyss Dweller ate one of the orbs that was floating around it, then the monsters eyes glowed stopping Spike’s move. Kamaki then notice that Spike was just staring at her. “What?” “What’s an overlay unit?” He didn’t know. Kamaki pointed at her monster. “You see that orb that is floating around Abyss Dweller?” Spike nodded his head. “They are called overlay unit and Xyz monster need those to active their special ability, which are the cards I used to summon it with.” She placed a Atlantean Pikeman in the graveyard. “When there are no more overlay units, Abyss Dweller can active its special ability anymore. I think you have one in your extra deck.” Spike thought was pretty cool and he hope he could summon one to. Now, back to the duel. “Since I can’t use black stone of legend ability from the graveyard anymore, I activate the trap card Red eyes spirit which let me summon a Red Eyes monster from my graveyard, I summon Red Eyes black Dragon.” The black dragon came back and kamaki had a felling what Spike would do next. “Now, I tributing Red Eyes to summon Red Eyes Alternative Black Dragon.” (atk:2400 def:2000) He send Red Eyes back to the graveyard and then summon a new monster, it look like a red version of Red Eyes. “Red Eyes Alternative Black Dragon attack Kamaki’s Abyss Dweller.” The dragon attack with a fire ball, destroying Abyss Dweller. Kamaki: 3500 Then it was Kamaki’s turn and she was a little worried, Atlantean Attack Squad attack point was now 1600. She knew what to do. But first, she drew her card and it was Abyss Soldier, she could use this card later. “Now I’m going to tribute Atlantean Attack Squad and Legendary Atlantean Tridon in my hand which means I can summon Poseidra, the Atlantean Dragon (atk: 2800 def: 1600) from my deck.” Kamaki send both cards to the graveyard and then she found the card, she then summoned it, she then placed the deck back and it shuffled. “And since I summoned Poseidra this way, your monster losses 300 hundred attack points.” It happened. “And don’t forget about Lemuria which give my monster 200 extra attack and defense points.” That also happened. “Poseidra, attack Red Eyes Alternative Black Dragon.” Poseidra attack and destroyed Spike’s monster. Spike: 1600 Then it was Spike turn, he drew his card and it was Red Eyes Transmigration, he didn’t need that now. “Since you destroyed Red Eyes Alternative Black Dragon I can now summon a Red Eyes from my graveyard, I summon Red Eyes Black Dragon.” The dragon came back. “And since I summon Red Eyes this way, it’s attack points are now double.” Red Eyes attack point became 4800. “Red Eyes, attack Kamaki’s Poseidra.” Red Eyes fired away a fire ball that destroyed Poseidra. “I end my turn.” Kamaki: 1700 Kamaki was impressed that Spike was doing so great, but she wasn’t about to lose. She drew her card and saw that it was Call of the Atlanteans Call of the Atlanteans which made her smile. “It’s been fun Spike but it’s time to end this duel.” Spike didn’t like the sound of that. “First I’m going to summon Abyss Soldier.” (atk: 1800 def: 1300) Out came a monster that look like whale. “Then I’m going to active the spell card Call of the Atlanteans, this spell card let me summon 3 level 3 or lower sea serpent monster from my graveyard and I have just that. I summon Atlantean Attack Squad and 2 Atlantean Pikeman’s in attack.” The three monster came back. “and thanks to Lemuria they all get 200 extra attack and defense points.” They did. “Atlantean Attack Squad gets an extra 800 attack point since I have another sea serpent out.” It’s attack was now 2400. Spike didn’t understand how Kamaki could win, his Red Eyes dragon was stronger. Kamaki wasn’t finished. “Now I activate Abyss Soldier special ability, by sending one water monster to the graveyard I can target one card on the field and return the card to the hand.” Spike knew how Kamaki could win. “I send one Atlantean Pikeman to the graveyard,” She did that. “and now I target your Red Eyes black dragon which means you have to place it back in your hand.” Abyss Soldier’s eyes glowed and Spike had to remover the card. “Now, Atlantean Attack Squad attack Spike directly.” Spike could just watch as Kamaki’s monster flew towards him and he didn’t care, this was fun.
