The dark purple haired girl looks down at her. "Tempest." The girl says. She couldn't be over the age of seventeen. "So your name is Tempest?" Sunset asks. "Yes, that's my name if I recall." "What do you mean by that?" Sunset asks, a image of Rarity pops up. "Sunset darling, what's going on?" Rarity asks and a image of Applejack pops up as well. "Who are you talking to surgarcube?" Applejack asks concerned. "What do you mean who?" Sunset says. "I can't you guy's see the girl next to me?" She asks. "Um Sunset," Twilight says. "There's no one there." Sunset looks back at Tempest and back to her friends and back at Tempest. "Maybe, only I can see you." Sunset whispers to herself. "Please tell me your not my guardian angel or something." Sunset says. "I am no such thing... Or am I?" Tempest says confused. "Wait, you don't know what you are?" Sunset asks. "Not only do I not recall who I am, I can't remember much of anything. The only thing I know is that you and that girl with the glasses over there look very familiar to me." Tempest explains. "I only know that I arrived here with a great purpose, that I cannot remember." "Get it together Sunset, now duel already!" Rarity yells. "Alright, alright!" Sunset says and takes a deep breath. Okay, faze the walking neon glowstick out and let's duel in. I have to figure out what to do with this weird number card. Ever since it showed up Rainbow has been extra creepy. "Ah, the might number 17 Leviathan dragon." Rainbow starts. "With this monster on the field there's no stopping me." Rainbow smirks with a crazy eye expression on her face as the number 17 glows on the back of her right hand. "Your deck will soon be mine!" Rainbow then puts a card facedown. "I end my turn with a facedown." "She's really angry, and creepy..." Tempest says. "Yeah, but her dragon is about to make her feel better by crushing me in this duel." Sunset says and Tempest's eyes widen. "Duel? That sounds... very familiar." She says. "Hm? You know how to duel?" Sunset asks. "Yes... it's kind of coming back to me now. I can faintly remember someone close to me teaching me about it." Tempest recalls. "The one who taught me was.... And I lost it." She sighs. "Let me help you out, draw a card from your deck." Tempest says and Sunset nods. "I draw!" Sunset pulls out a card and looks at it. "Now summon Go-go-go Golem in defense mode." "Wait a minute, why should I listen to you? Your the one with amnesia!" Sunset yells. "I summon Go-go-go Golem in attack mode!" The grounds opens up and Go-go-go Golem rises. Go-go-go Golem: 1800 ATK "1800 attack points, that's not enough to defeat Leviathan dragon kid." Tempest says. Sunset rolls her eyes and pulls out another card. "Next from my hand, I play the spell blustering winds. And it's gonna blow your mind now one monster of mine in attack mode gains a thousand points till my next turn." Go-go-go Golem: 2800 ATK Leviathan dragon: 2500 ATK "You got this Sunset!" Applejack cheers. "Now Go! Go-go-go Golem, attack Leviathan dragon!" Go-go-go Golems arm glows blue and attacks Leviathan dragon making Rainbows lose 300 life points. Rainbow Dash: 4000> 3700 Lp "Yes! Leviathan Dragon is done for and Rainbows life points just took a dive!" "Turn around." Tempest says making Sunset turn around to see Leviathan dragon still standing. "Wait, I thought the monster with the lowest attack points gets destroyed." Twilight says. "No fair! Sunset destroyed that thing! How is it still standing!" Rarity yells grabbing Applejack by the collar of her shirt shaking Applejack. "What gives! I took down your monster." Sunset says. "Fraid not, a number monster can only be beat by another number monster." Rainbow explains. "For real?" Sunset asks in disbelief. "Sunset doesn't have a number monster, so that means... that dragon is on the field for good." Applejack says leaving Rarity and Twilight shocked. "You've got to be kidding me..." Sunset mumbles. "If I can't beat Rainbow Dash's monster then how am I supposed to beat her." Sunset looks at the two cards in her hand unsure of what to do. "You better start figuring that out kid. Cause that girl looks ready to attack." Tempest says and crosses her arms. "You better do something kid." "Huh? What makes you a dueling expert all of a sudden?" Sunset asks. "By observing of course. I also happened to remember a thing or two." Tempest says. "Observation one, you seem to have immense anger issues aswell. You also tend to get annoyed very easily." "No I do not!" Sunset yells, her face slowly turning red. "I guess it's my turn isn't it." Rainbow says getting Sunset and Tempest's attention. "Huh?" They both say. "I summon Drill Barnacle!" Drill Barnacle: 300 ATK "300 attack points, you are lucky." Tempest says. "What do you mean I'm lucky?" Sunset asks confused. "I activate my dragons ability!" Rainbow says. "So by using a overlay unit I can power up Leviathan Dragon's strength." Leviathan dragon: 3000 ATK "3000 attack points, this just got a whole lot harder..." Sunset says and Tempest floats next to her. "Since Rainbows Leviathan dragon had one last overlay unit remaining, it was pretty obvious of what she would do. "It's time Leviathan dragon! Attack Go-go-go Golem!" Rainbow commands, Leviathan dragon sends a blue beam of light at Go-go-go Golem destroying Sunsets monster making Sunset raise both of her arms to shield herself. She loses 200 life points going down to 800. This isn't good, I only have 800 points left. She then looks at Tempest. I guess she was right about me being lucky. "Don't you think I'm finished yet Sunset! Drill Barnacle attack." Sunset gets thrown back by Rainbows monsters drills and loses 300 more lifepoints dropping all the way down to 500. "Sunset..." Twilight says looking at the girl with worry. "When in defense mode that Golem has an effect that prevents it from being destroyed in battle. Now do you understand? Why I suggested you bring him out in defense mode." Tempest says. "Woah, I didn't even know about that..." Sunset says. Tempest looks at her hand to see it fading away. "It looks like my life force is fading away." Tempest says and some memories come back to her. "Numbers..." She whispers. "Hey, what's the matter?" Sunset asks. "The numbers, their the key to unlocking my sealed memories. You see numbers are special cards, even among Xyz monsters. They cannot be defeated like regular cards, and in a duel where number cards are used the winner absorbs the losers number cards." Tempest explains to Sunset. "I understand what your saying but, I don't have a number card. So where are you going with this?" Sunset asks. "I'm not entirely sure but, you must win." Tempest tell her. "Otherwise, I will meet a very bad end." "What am I suppose to do about it? You said it yourself, a number monster can only be defeated by another number monster." Sunset replies and looks at the two cards in her hand. "I don't have the cards for a counter attack, so I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope that I can survive attacks from both Leviathan dragon and Drill Barnacle." "While you think things over Sunset, I activate Drill Barnacles effect. Because it was able to deal damage to you it now gains 1000 attack points." Rainbow says as Drill Barnacle grows in size almost as big as Leviathan dragon towering over Sunset. "There's more, Drill Barnacles a monster that can attack you directly. Which means on the next turn if that attack connects your screwed." "Crap! I wasn't planning on a direct attack. What do I do now!" Sunset panics and pulls at her hair. "Wait, I'll just play my facedown." She says. She looks at her duel disk. "Now what did I throw down again..." On her duel disk she taps on her facedown card. "You played bye-bye damage and if you had activated it earlier you would have dealt damage to Rainbow Dash if you hadn't forgotten about it. And Go-go-go Golem would have not been destroyed." Tempest explains. "Your right, If I hadn't forgotten about this card then Go-go-go Golem would still be here." Sunset says. "I can help you if you start listening to me for some dueling advice Sunset, not later now. That girl over there came all the to see you correct?" Tempest says and points to Twilight. "Yeah, she did. She even gave me the confidence to go through with this." Sunset says. "Then let's show her what you are truly capable of. On your next draw we need a card that allows you to summon more than once this turn." "Alright I'll try." Sunset says and pulls out a card. "For the sake of mine and Applejacks deck, here it goes! I draw!" "Monster reborn, it seems that fate has come through for us this time." Tempest sighs inrelief. "I summon Ganbara knight in attack mode!" Sunsets monster drops down from the sky infront of her. Ganbara Knight: 0 ATK "Sunset why did you go with attack mode!? Ganbara knight has zero attack points!" Applejack says and Rarity facepalms. "What wait?" "Just give up Sunset, you can't win!" Rainbow taunts. "Like I said before I'm too stubborn to give up!" Sunset barks. "It's fine." Tempest says. "It's good that Ganbara knight has zero attack points. On offense it gives us a chance to turn things around.... perhaps." "What do you mean by that!?" "Quick, bring back Gagaga magician with monster reborn." Tempest says. "Alright then, from my hand I activate the spell card monster reborn!" Sunsets spell card gives off a bright light. On the ground a purple magic circle appears. "And with it, I bring back Gagaga magician!" Gagaga magician rises out from the magic circle and was now back on the field next to Ganbara knight. "So what," Rainbow says. "His 1500 ATK points are no threat to me." She says and Sunset glares at her. "At last, the stage is set." Tempest speaks and Sunset gives her a weird look. "For what exactly?" She asks. "Teamwork, overlay level 4 Gagaga magician and Ganbara knight." "Wait I don't have any— " "Look at your deck Sunset." Sunset pulls out a card and her eyes widen. "Is this what I think this is?" She asks and Tempest nods. The picture on the card was blurry was she couldn't quite see what type of monster it was. "It's number 39, Utopia." The image clears and Sunset could see what the monster on the card is. It has a humanoid body with white and golden armor and holding a sword. On Utopia's left shoulder in red was the number 39. "You really gave me a number card?" Sunset asks. "Yes, I did. And now it's yours Sunset." "This'll definitely even the score. I overlay level 4 Gagaga magician and Ganbara knight!" Both of Sunset's monsters glow and shoot up towards the sky. "And Now that I have, I can do this! Xyz summoning so here it goes!" Sunsets says. "Rise on up number 39, Utopia!" Sunset and Tempest say in unison, in red the number 39 glows. Utopia: 2500 ATK "Take out Rainbows monster Utopia! Attack Drill Barnacle." Utopia takes one of it's blades. "Go rising sun slash!" Utopia raises it's blade over it's head and slashes Drill Barnacle in half destroying it and Rainbows life points go down to 2500. Sunset: 500 Rainbow: 2500 "That was.... brilliant! Keep it up Sunset!" Rarity cheers. Applejack sighed inrelief and tipped her hat towards Sunset. Atta girl. "W-what the heck...! There's no way." Rainbow grunts as she gets back up. "Our job is done yet kid, now to introduce Utopia to Leviathan Dragon." "Another number monster? Did you two know she had that?" Twilight asks the two girls. "That's right, ah' don't remember Sunset havin' that card before." Applejack says. "Maybe its one of those newer ones." "Alright Rainbow, I end my turn." Sunset says with a serious expression before glancing at Twilight. "Twilight, did you see that?" Sunset says excited with a big smile on her face. The purple haired girl blushed and smiles at Sunset giving her a small nod. "Sunset darling, that's great and all but... Utopia has 2500 attack points. And Leviathan dragon has 3000, if Rainbow attacks... it's over." Rarity explains. "Oh crap your right. That's really bad." Said Sunset. "Your Sunset, that is very bad. Especially since now it's my turn." Rainbow stares Sunset down before drawing her next card. "I draw from my hand. I activate the spell card surface." Rainbows card materializes on the field. "Since I did a water monster now surfaces from my graveyard, welcome back Big Jaws."
