//------------------------------// // Dueling at the Farm // Story: MLP: FIM Duel Monster // by Norwegian boy //------------------------------// After the duel all the ponies that was watching gather around Spike and then they started to ask him question about what they saw, what the game was called, how he managed to create those monster and where they could play the game. Kamaki saw that Spike was getting uncomfortable so she decided to help him. “Alright, let’s give Spike some room.” She told them while walking up to the dragon. “Spike can’t answer your question but I can, what he and I was playing was duel monster, it’s a card game from my world. How we managed to create those monster is because of the duel disk.” She showed it to them. “The duel disk create a 3D picture of the card we play.” It was probably more advance then that but Kamaki had no idea how it work, so she keep it simple. “And when it comes to if you can play it, not right now.” Some of them was disappointed when they heard that. “Don’t worry, if everything goes as planned duel monster card will be on sale in around 2 to 3 weeks. There also going to be a small tournament in a few days to introduce duel monster to Equestria in a few days, it will be held just outside Ponyville.” The ponies was actually looking forward to that, then one of them ask a good question. “Is hard to play this game?” Asked the female pony. Kamaki nodded her head side to side. “It can be a little overwhelming at first, but when you get into it can be a lot of fun and that’s the point with the game, to have fun.” Kamaki didn’t tell them that there was some humans that could take the game a little too serious, Kaiba. After that the ponies went back to whatever they were doing before the Kamaki and Spike’s duel. “Thanks for that, I couldn’t answer any of their questions.” Said Spike to the human. Kamaki just giggled. “Your welcome.” She asked him give back the duel disk, he did. “So, was it fun?” She asked him as she placed the two duel disk back in the backpack. “Hell yeah, that was most fun I had in a long time.” He told her with a smile on his face. That made Kamaki smile. “That’s good, one should always have fun while dueling.” She placed the backpack on her back. “So, what are you going to do now? It sounded like you don’t want to go back to Twilight.” Spike look down on the ground, deep in thought. “No, I think I’m going to get my stuff and ask Applejack if I can stay at her for a while.” He look up at the human. “Can you be there when I get my stuff from Twilight?” Kamaki didn’t expect him to ask her that. “Are you sure you want me? I don’t know or her, why not ask someone ells?” Spike placed his hands together. “Please, just this one time.” He was actually begging her. Kamaki couldn’t help but think how pathetic he look. “Alright, just stop begging already.” With that said they headed towards the library. When Kamaki saw the tree again she still couldn’t believe that it was a tree, she really started to hate magic. Spike open the door and they walk in and they saw Twilight sitting on the couch reading a book, it was like nothing had happened. Twilight heard someone open the door and look up from the book, she was happy that it was Spike, not so happy when she saw the human. “spike.” She placed the book on the table. “I knew you would come back.” Spike said nothing as he walk up to the second floor to get his stuff. “Where are you going?” Twilight asked the dragon who didn’t respond at all, she then look over at Kamaki who was leaning against the wall. “What did you say to him?” She asked the human. Kamaki was clueless. “I don’t know what you are talking about, Spike came to me and told me how you have been treating him, I felt bad for him so we duel.” Twilight raised an eyebrow. “You and Spike duel?” Kamaki couldn’t help but frowned. “Wow, that’s what you are focusing on?” She then shook her head. “Unbelievable. I’m starting to see why Spike is so angry at you.” Twilight was about to tell her to leave when Spike came walking down the stairs with a bag full of clothes. “Spike?” He didn’t listen to Twilight as he just walk out, Kamaki followed. “Spike, het back here now.” Said Twilight as she followed them. But they were gone. “SPIKE.” After leaving the library Kamaki told Spike that if he wanted to keep cards he had to enter a tournament they were holding a few day, to promote duel monster to Equestria, Spike had no problem with that. Celestia on the other hand had no idea what was going on with Twilight and Spike, she had talk with Mayor Mare and they had come to agreement that the princess could build a miniature station outside Ponyville for the tournament, all Celestia had to do now was to head back To Canterlot and hire some ponies that could make the stadium. Celestia could yell and Rainbow Dash another day. Spike and Kamaki had finally reached their destination, Applejack’s farm. After leaving Spike said he was going to ask Applejack if he could stay at their place, he wasn’t sure if he wanted to go back to Twilight. Spike told Applejack what happened and she couldn’t believe how dense she and the other have been, especially Twilight. Spike wasn’t mad at Applejack and the girls, only Twilight, they just did as Twilight told them, but he didn’t tell Applejack. After that Kamaki decided to head home, she said Farwell to the pony and dragon. Kamaki had finally reached the entrance to the forest but then she saw someone standing guard there, her instincts told her to hide so she hide behind the nearest tree. Kamaki decided to see who it was and she wasn’t too happy when she saw who was standing guard. “You got to be kidding me.” She wasn’t going home at the moment. The sun was setting in Equestria and a certain farmer was finally done with his chores for the day, the stallion was walking towards the barn to but away the scythe he had used to cut the grass on his farm, then he heard a voice from the barn. “Stupide Skittle, I don’t understand what I have done to her.” It was a voice he didn’t recognize so he decided to see who it was, the stallion open the door a little and saw a monkey creature sitting on one of the haystacks, she was looking at some black device? “I could be lying in a bed now but no, stupide pegasus had to be angry at me.” She was angry at someone, that was for sure. The stallion by the name of Big McIntosh decided to see if this female creature was a threat or not, he open the doors to the barn. “Excuse me, is there a reason why you are in my barn?” He asked her. Kamaki was so focus her phone that she didn’t notice the doors open but she heard someone talk, she look up from her phone and saw a giant red pony and he didn’t look happy. “Who are you?” She asked the stallion. “My name is Big McIntosh and this is my barn. Now, what are you doing here?” He was getting a little impatient. Kamaki tilted her head to the side in confusion. “Your barn? I thought this was Applejack’s barn.” “She is my little sister, can you please answer my question, what are you doing here?” Kamaki went back to the her phone. “I’m here because Skittles is guarding the entrance to the forest, which means I can’t go home.” Now it’s was Mac’s turn to be confused. “Skittles? Who’s that?” He asked the human. “The blue pegasus with colorful hair and tail.” Said Kamaki with some annoyance in her voice. “Oh, you mean Rainbow Dash.” Kamaki nodded. “Yeah, she can be a little persistent at times.” He said while placing the scythe he used up against the wall. Kamaki just snorted. “A little? Please, I have meet dogs that is less persistent then her.” She put away her phone. “I mean, I beat Celestia in a card game and when I tell her that she and her friends can’t meet my employer she tries to attack me.” She then crossed her arms. “I was just glad that Celestia was there to stop her.” Mac was lost again. “You beat princess Celestia in a card game?” He then look at the cards she had in her lap. “What kind of card game?” Kamaki took out some cards. “They are called duel monster and my employer Maximillion Pegasus want to sell them in Equestria, there is going to be a tournament in a few days to promote them.” Mac was intrigued. “Is it difficult to play?” Kamaki didn’t expect to hear that question. “You want to play?” He nodded his head. “After so little information?” “Sometimes you don’t need much information and besides, I could use some excitement in my life.” All kamaki could think about was how weird this guy was. “Alright, if you want to then I’m not going to argue.” She got up. “But if you want to keep the cards then you have to enter the tournament, it’s kind of a rule we have.” Mac wasn’t entire sure about that. “Can I answer after we are done playing?” he asked her. Kamaki shrugged her shoulders. “Sure.” She then grabbed her backpack that was beside her. “Let’s see here.” She then open it up and started to search. “I think this deck could work for you.” She walk over to him and gave it to him. Mac happily accepted it and look at one of the cards, it look like a pony with red armor. "Gladiator Beast Darius?" “Yeap, the card are called Gladiator Beast. Ever duel card is different in their own way.” She then took out a metal device from her backpack. “By the way, my name is Fugome Kamaki.” She then gave it to Mac. “Let’s duel.” Kamaki: 4000 Mac: 4000 After Kamaki explain the rules and how the duel disk worked, they took their placed in the barn, Mac stood by the door while Kamaki stood on the other side. “Do you want to go first?” Kamaki asked Mac. Mac knew the answer to that “No, you go first. I want to see how it works.” That works for Kamaki. “Alright.” She drew her card and her six cards was; Beat, Bladesman fur hire, Sagitta, Maverick fur hire, Wiz, Sage fur hire, Rookie fur hire, Mayhem fur hire, and Back to the Front. Kamaki wasn’t entirely sure what to do, she didn’t know these cards. “Okay, I’m going to summon Beat, Bladesman fur hire in attack mode.” Kamaki placed the card on the duel disk and weird animal with a sword appeared. “I can now summon another fur hire monster from my hand, I summon Sagitta, Maverick fur hire in defense mode.” This time a bird like creature appeared and it was holding some kind of weapon, it was also knelling. “Since I special summoned Sagitta and thanks to her special ability, you take 500 points of damaged for each fur hire monster I have out.” The bird fired something at Mac, which didn’t hurt but he lost 500. Mac: 3500 “And now I can add one fur hire monster from my deck to my hand.” Kamaki took her deck and look through it, she chose Seal, Strategist fur hire. She placed the deck back, it shuffled. “You can now only attack Sagitta. I end my turn with a card face down.” She placed back to the front and Mac watch as a card appeared which he couldn’t see. “Um, can I ask a question?” Kamaki was now curious. “Sure.” “Sagitta is a level 5 monster and read in the rulebook that one has to tribute another monster card to summon a level 5 monster.” Kamaki liked that Mac asked that question. “That is normally the case, but there are exceptions and since I had Beat on my field I could summon Sagitta. If I wasn’t allowed to do it the duel disk wouldn’t let me do it, I didn’t cheat.” Mac didn’t think she was cheating but he had to ask and Kamaki didn’t mind. Then it was Mac turn and he drew the card and his six cards was.; Gladiator Beast Andal, Laquari, Test Tiger, Augustus, Unexpected Dai, and Gladiator Beast's comeback. Mac like the last card but he would save it for later, he knew what to do, he hope. “Okay, I’m going to active the spell card unexpected Dai.” He placed in the slot the way so he could activate it. “Since I have no monster I can now special summon 1 level 4 or lower from my deck, I summon Andal.” Mac found the card from his deck and placed it on the duel disk and a giant bear appeared. “Now I’m going to summon test tiger.” A tiger appeared. “I can now tribute this card,” He placed it in the graveyard. “which let me shuffle one Gladiator beast I control into my deck,” He did that. “that lets me summoned another Gladiator beast from my deck.” He picked the card. “I summon Augustus.” A giant bird with armor and a sword appeared. “Since I special summon Augustus, I can now special summon another Gladiator beast from my hand, I summon Laquari in defense mode.” A tiger on two legs appeared while Kamaki was impressed by Mac, she didn’t believe he could play that well on his first time. “Now, Augustus attack Kamaki’s Beat.” Augustus flew towards Beat to destroyed it. “Hold on Mac, I guess have forgotten that you can only attack my Sagitta.” Mac had forgotten it, Augustus then flew towards the bird and destroyed it. Kamaki was prepare. “I activate the trap card back to the front, it let me special summon a monster from my graveyard, I chose Sagitta.” The monster Mac just destroyed came back. “Since Sagitta was special summon, you lost another 500 life points.” Sagitta fired something that hit Mac. Mac: 3000 Mac knew now how trap cards work. “Since this is my end face I have to shuffled Laquari back into my deck.” He did that. “I end my turn.” Kamaki was impressed by how Mac was doing. It was Kamai’s turn but before she could draw her card, both of them heard a voice. “Mac? Where the hay are you?” It was Applejack. “I’m in the barn.” Said Mac. “What are you doing in the barn?” Applejack asked as she open the doors, she poked her head in and saw what he was doing. “Wait, your dueling?” She then saw the human. “Against Kamaki?” Kamaki decided to be sarcastic. “Of course he’s dueling me, who ells has duel monster cards and duel disks.” Applejack just gave the human an annoyed stare. Then a new voice spoke up. “Wait, Mac is dueling?” it was Spike was also poked his head in the barn. “Cool, can I watch?” Before Kamaki or Mac could say anything, he walk in and sat down on haystack. Applejack also walk in. “Instead of telling me where you are, you decided to do this?” She asked with annoyance in her voice. Mac had no idea why his sister was angry at him. “Do you have to know where I am all the time?” He asked her. Applejack crossed her arms. “No, but I was worried.” Then a new voice spoke up. “What’s going on?” Kamaki didn’t recognize the voice, it sounded young. In walk a young yellow pony with red hair, she also had a bow in her hair. The pony then saw Kamaki and Mac. “Big brother, what are you doing?” She asked Mac. “Apple Bloom, I told you to wait inside.” Applejack told her with annoyance in her voice. “Oh come on, it’s not dark outside and beside, granny said it was okay. Why is Mac with that monster?” She asked while pointing at the human. Everyone look over at Kamaki who was now offended. “So, I’m a monster now.” She rolled her eyes. “That’s just great.” She crossed her arms and started to pout. Applejack look at her sister with a horrified look. “Bloom, that’s no way to talk to someone and how said that she is a monster?” “Scootaloo, who heard it from Rainbow Dash.” Applejack let out a sighed as she placed a hand on her face. “Of course it was Dash, who ells could it be.” AJ look at her sister with disappointment. “You and your friends shouldn’t listen to everything Dash says, Kamaki is no monster. Kamaki is a human and she has come her to promote a card game, Duel monster.” AJ then look over at the human. “Did I get that right?” Kamaki shrugged her shoulders. “Pretty much, but right now me and Mac are dueling.” They went back to it. Apple Bloom had no idea what was going on but she wanted to find out, she walk over to Spike and sat down. “So, how does this work?” She asked the dragon. He was happy to explain. “Each duelist get a deck of 40 cards and they both get 4000 life point, then they have to get the life point down to zero with the help of the cards which is a mix of monster, spell and trap cards.” It sounded easy to Apple Bloom, but it was probably not. “And how are they creating these monsters? None of them are a unicorn.” She asked while looking at the mosnters. Spike pointed at Kamaki’s left arm. “It because of the duel disk, it creates a 3D image of the card they play, it’s like when a unicorn use it’s magic to bring a picture to life.” Apple Bloom nodded her head in understanding, she understood half of what Spike said. Then it was Kamaki turn and she drew her card and it was another Beat which made her smile. “Since I have Beat on my field I am allowed to special summon another fur hire monster form my hand, I summon Wiz, Sage fur hire in defense.” A monster with a staff appeared and she was kneeling. “Since I special summoned Wiz, I gain 500 life points for every fur hire I have on the field, I have two which means 1000.” Kamaki: 5000 “Now I summon another Beat in attack mode.” Another monster with sword appeared. “And now I’m going to overlay my two Beat’s so I can build the overlay network which means I can now Xyz summon Lavalval Ignis." Both Beat became energy and disappeared into a red vortex and out came a man appeared which was on fire and his body was in armor. Apple Bloom had no idea what just happened but she thought it was awesome. “Spike, what just happened?” She asked the dragon. “As Kamaki said, it’s an Xyz summon. From what I have read you have to have two monster with the same level in this, level 3. Then you can Xyz summon, don’t ask why because I don’t know.” He then look at Kamaki’s monsters. “Wait a minute, those cards that Kamaki is using isn’t the same she used when we duel.” That got the Apples attention. “What do you mean Spike.” Asked AJ. “She used monster that look like fish with legs and that doesn’t look like a fish to me.” He told them while pointing at the monster. Then Applejack spoke up. “Your right Spike, when she duel against princess Celestia she used monster that look like dragons.” “The deck I’m using now were assemble by my employer and his people, if I used my own deck then I could have won very easy and that’s something I won’t do, not against beginners.” That meant sense, in away. “Now, Lavalval Ignis attack Mac’s Augustus.” Lavalval Ignis started to fire its self up. Apple Bloom had no idea why, while Spike and Applejack didn’t understand why she did that, Mac’s monster had more attack point. “I active Lavalval Ignis special ability, since Lavalval Ignis attacks I can remove both overlay units and for each I remove, Lavalval Ignis gets 500 extra attack point.” She did that and then Kamaki’s monster attack point was now 2800. Lavalval Ignis fired away a fire ball that destroyed Mac’s Augustus. Mac: 2800 Apple Bloom had no idea what happened. “Hey, why did my brothers monster disappeared?” She asked them all. “In duel monster the weakest monster gets destroyed.” Kamaki told her. “And now I end my turn which means Lavalval Ignis attack points goes back to normal.” I did that. Mac send it to the graveyard and drew his next card, it was Rescue Rabbit and when Mac read what it could do he got an idea. “I’m going to summon Rescue Rabbit.” He placed the card on the field and a rabbit with a helmet appeared. When Apple Bloom saw the monster she couldn’t help but giggle. “Look, it’s Angel.” The others laugh of what she said while Kamaki had no idea what was so funny. When Mac has stop laughing. “Now I’m going to banish this card,” He placed it in the graveyard. “now I can summon two level 4 monster with same name from my deck.” He pick it up and found the cards he needed. “I summon two Attorix." Two female cat’s with armor, a shield and a qword appered. “And now I’m going to activate the spell card Gladiator Beast’s comeback, now I can summon a Gladiator Beast from my graveyard with a different type then my two Andal, I summon Augustus.” The bird came back and Kamaki became a little worried, Mac was better than she thought. “I now shuffle the three gladiator beast back into my deck,” He did that. “which let me summon Gladiator Beast Andabata from my extra deck in defense.” Mac took out the card from his pocket and placed it on the dule disk, a weird looking alien with armor, sword and shield appeared. “and since I summon Andabata this way, I am now allowed to summon another Gladiator beast from my extra deck as long as it’s level 7 or lower, I Summon out Gladiator Beast Gyzarus." Out came a green bird in armor. “Since I summon Gyzarus this way I can now destroy two card on the field, I destroy Sagitta and Wiz.” Kamaki had to removed them. “Gyzarus, attack Kamaki’s Lavalval Ignis.” Gyzarus took flight and destroyed Lavalval Ignis. Kamaki: 4400 “I can now return Gyzarus back to my extra deck," He did that. “which let me summon two Gladiator beast monster from my deck, I chose Andal and Laquari.” Both monster appeared. “Since I special summoned Laquari, it’s attack points becomes 2100.” It happened. “I end my turn.” Kamaki was very impressed that Mac was doing so well, she was impressed by all off them. Kamaki look at her hand and she was in trouble, none of her monster had enough attack power. She drew her card and hope it was a monster card, it was Terraforming, she didn’t even know that this deck had a field spell. “I active the spell card Terraforming, this card let me add a field spell from my deck to my hand.” She played it and started to look for the card, she found it. “I now active the field spell Fandore, the Flying Furtress." A new slot open and Kamaki placed the card there and then the entire barn started to change. The entire barn disappeared and was replaced with clouds, there was also airships around them. The three ponies and dragon as awestruck by it all, they had never seen anything like it before, Applejack had but it was still breathtaking. Apple Bloom was lost for words. “What…? Wh… wh… what happened to out barn?” She then jump of the haystack, she landed on clouds. “Are we flying?” It was good question. Kamaki just laugh of what she said. “No, we are not flying. This isn’t real, if this was real then you wouldn’t have managed to stand on the clouds. Don’t worry, it will disappeared when the duel is over.” Apple Bloom managed to calm down, she believe what Kamaki said. Back to the duel. “And now I’m going to active the spell card Rookie fur hire, this card let me special summon a fur hire from my deck who is 1 level higher or lower than the monster I have out, since Sagitta is level 5,” She send the card to the graveyard. “I can now summon Dyna, Hero fur hire." A monster that look like lion appeared. “I now active it ability, since I special summon I can now banish cards from your graveyard up to the number fur hire monster I control, except Dyna. I have one so that means you have to banish a card.” Mac took out Test tiger. “Now Dyna, attack Laquari.” Mac’s monster was destroyed. “I end my turn by summoning Seal, Strategist fur hire in defense mode.” A new monster appeared. Mac: 2400 Mac needed a good card so he drew and it was Monster reborn. “I active the spell card monster reborn which lets me special summon a monster from my graveyard, I chose Augustus.” The bird came back. “I can now summon another gladiator beast from my hand, I summoned Andal.” The bear appeared. “Augustus, attack Dyna.” Augustus flew and swung its sword, Dyna was destroyed. Kamaki: 4300 “Andal, attack Seal.” The bear attack and the monster was gone. “I end my turn.” Then it was Kamaki’s turn. “I active one of Fandora, the flying furtress ability, I can skip my draw face which let me ad a Fur hire monster from my deck to hand. I chose Rafale, Champion fur hire." She placed the card in her hand. “And now I active the spell card Mayhen fur hire, this card let me summon a monster from my graveyard in defense mode, I chose Beat.” The monster with sword appeared again. “Now I can summon a fur hire from my hand, I summon Rafale.” Some kind of dragon with a sword appeared. “Since I summon Rafale this way, I can now excavate the tops cards in my deck, equal to the number of fur hire I have on the field except Rafale, I have one.” She picked the the card and it was There can be only one. “I now have to show you the card.” She did and Mac saw the card. “I place the card in my hand.” She did that. “Now, Rafale attack Andal.” Rafale attack and destroyed the bear. Mac: 1500 Then Mac drew his card and it was Gladiator beast charge, Mac look at his card and he got an idea that he hope was going to work. “I switch Andabat to attack.” He did that. “Andabat, attack Kamaki’s Beat.” The bird attack and destroyed Beat. “Since Andabat attack, I can return it to my extra deck.” He did that. “That let me summon two Gladiator beast from my deck, I chose Vespasius, and Noxious." Two monsters appeared. “I now going to shuffle them back into my deck,” He did that. “this let me summon Gladiator beast Tamer Editor from my extra deck.” A monster with red armor and a spear appeared. “I activated Tamer Editor ability which let me summon another Gladiator beast from my extra deck, I summon Gladiator beast Domitianus." A purple lizard with armor appeared. “Domitianus, attack Rafale.” Rafale was destroyed. Kamaki: 3600 “I set one card face down and end my turn.” Kamaki was in trouble and she needed a monster. “I active one of…” Mac cut her off. “I active the trap Gladiator beast charge.” The card flip open. “this card let me destroy fac up cards on the field, up to the number of Gladiator beast monster I control, I have three which means I can destroy three of your card but you only have two.” Kamaki didn’t like this. “I destroy Wiz and your field spell.” Kamaki send both to the graveyard. Kamaki had only one card left and that couldn’t help her. “I end my turn.” She had lost.
