The school bell rang, and all the ponies are playing around the yard. All of the ponies are playing with each other but only a certain white filly is lying on the table.
"Ughh." Sweetie Belle lies on the table while Red Eyes massages her. After receiving a massage, the white filly feels satisfied. "I'm glad my sister managed to come back, but she seems weird today."
"I know." Red Eyes chuckles. "This is the price when you use floodgate. No one loves floodgate."
She rolls around, "Come on. Floodgates are better than stun.".Then she sighs. "But why can't I use any single spell?"
"You learn slower than I though." Red Eyes sits on the white filly's back. "A normal pony takes one week to learn telekenisbut you take two weeks and still can't use it."
"Ughhh... I want to cast some awesome spells, not dueling like this all the time." Sweetie Belle rubs her head against the pillow. "Now I see why you brought the pillow."
When the white filly gets the massage, she sees the purple dragon running to her. The purple dragon asks. "Hey Sweetie Belle, can we... duel?"
"You have a deck?" Sweetie Belle smiles. "Well... Right now, I wish I could use the dueling room. So... maybe I can't duel with you right now, Spike."
Spike waves his claws. "I just asked Cherilee about using that room. She accepted." Spike taps his deck. "Plus, Red Eyes helped me make a deck."
"Red Eyes?" Sweetie Belle turns to the black dragon and sees the black dragon turns her face away. Sweetie Belle asks. "What are you playing with?"
"Nothing." The black dragon coughs. "Just a... hunch."
The white filly stands up. "Oh right, I will see if... my dragon does something with you."
Spike and Sweetie Belle are coming to the dueling room. Inside the room, there is no one there. Spike steps onto the field. "Come on Sweetie Belle, we have to test my deck."
Sweetie Belle sighs. "Wow, you are so exciting. Let me figure out how to turn this thing up."
Sweetie Belle walks around the dueling room and sees nothing. After five minutes, the white filly notices a switch on the wall. Sweetie Belle turns on the switch and sees the table rising and the duel field shining.
Sweetie Belle steps onto the field. "You sure Red Eyes helps you build your deck?"
"Yes." Spike puts the deck on the table. "Let's duel."
"Eh.... okay. Let's me... hmmm... build a deck and have a drink." Sweetie Belle rubs her neck. "Can you wait for about ... 30 minutes?"
"Sure." Spike sits on the table. "I will wait."
Sweetie Belle heads to the library to search for the card with Red Eyes. Twilight and Rarity sit on the high chair and watch the white filly leaves the room. The alicorn asks. "You said she lied yesterday."
Rarity nods. "She said she learned magic yesterday. I don't want to push."
Twilight rubs her chin. "Next month is the tournament for students in Canterlot but... I don't want Sweetie Belle to participate in."
"I don't think other students have a chance against her." Rarity agrees. "She seems to know all the deck work."
Twilight and Rarity sigh as they think about what to do with this filly.
After thirty minutes, the white filly returns with a deck and the black dragon. Looking around, the white filly sees Spike sleeping on the table. Sweetie Belle wakes the purple dragon up.
Spike opens his eyes and sees Sweetie Belle staring at him. The purple dragon rubs his head. "Uh... just a sleep."
"Well... you want to go first or second." Sweetie Belle gives the purple dragon her deck and shuffles Spike's deck. "I hope Red Eyes don't teach you anything stupid."
"Don't say that, she teaches me some helpful advice." Spike shuffles Sweetie Belle's deck. "I'll go second."
Spike : 8000 LP
Sweetie Belle: 8000 LP
Sweetie Belle gives him the deck, then takes her deck and goes back to the table. The white filly puts her deck on it and draws five cards. "I set a monster and a card, then I'll end my turn."
"That's it." Spike tilts his head. "I think I can win you over here."
"Go ahead." Sweetie Belle drinks some water. "I will be glad if you can OTK (one turn kill) me."
"All right." Spike draws a card. "My turn. From my hand, I activate the field spell 'Numeron Network.' I will send 'Numeron Calling' from my deck to make this field spell apply the effect." Sweetie Belle spills the drink and coughs when she hears that. The field is covered in purple smoke. Spike tilts his head. "You okay?"
"I'm fine." Sweetie Belle coughs a little. "Continue. I have nothing to respond to."
Spike nods. "I will summon four monsters from my extra deck." The gate is opened and a monster flies with a metal gate shape "Number 1 : Number Gate Ekram (rank 1/ 1000 ATK/ 100 DEF)." And then two monster appears with something like metal dinosaur shape. "Number 2 : Number Gate Dve (rank 1 / 1000 ATK / 100 DEF) and Number 3 : Number Gate Trini (rank 1/ 1000 ATK/ 100 DEF)" . Eventually, a round metal monster appears with two metal swords on either side. "And number 4: Number Gate Catvari (rank 1 /1000 ATK / 100 DEF)."
Sweetie Belle keeps looking for the black dragon but she is nowhere. "You know, Spike. After finishing this duel, I will find Red Eyes."
"For what?"
"For making you use that deck." Sweetie Belle takes a card and summons a metallic dragon. "Find Red Eyes for me."
"Hmm... okay. Anyway, I will go to battle phrase." Spike points at the face down card. "Attack that face down monster, number 1." The gate monster shoots a beam at it and creates smoke from it. "That's how I do it. After battle, all of other of my number monster will double ATK." The smoke is fading and showing an hourglass with four candles inside. "What?"
"Aroma Jar (lv 1 / 500 ATK / 400 DEF). When it is flipped face up, you can't destroy it by battle." Sweetie Belle shakes her head. "And I know you have to banish all of your monsters in the end phrase."
"Switch to main phrase two." Spike shows a card. "I activated 'Double Summon', it allows me to normal summon twice this turn." Then he shows two cards. "I tributed summon 'Big Koala' (lv 7 / 2700 ATK / 2000 DEF)." An enormous Koala is appearing and eating a tree. Spike shows another card. "Then I tributed summon, the tuner monster, Ally Mind (tuner / lv 5 / 1800 ATK/ 1500 DEF)." A big machine orb appears on the field.
Sweetie Belle sighs. "What are you going to do with them, Fusion?"
Spike shakes his head. "No. Synchro summon." The two monsters fly on the sky and become many orbs. On the field, a robot hodling a flaming sword appears. Sweetie Belle coughs in surprise. Spike introduces. "Level twelve, Geomatchmech Final Sigma (LV12/ 3000 ATK/ 0 DEF)."
Sweetie Belle taps her feet. "Where did you get that monster?"
Spike laughs. "Just a lucky pull from a box. Even Twilight struggles against this monster." Then he looks at his claw. "I set a card and end my turn."
The hourglass glowed and the sparkling dust flitted around the white filly.
Sweetie Belle: 8500 LP.
"Okay, this is more ridiculous than I thought. My turn." Sweetie Belle draws a card. "I activate 'Double Summon', then I normal summon two more 'Aroma Jar'." Two more hourglasses appear on the field. "Xyz summon." Three hourglasses become orbs and fly into a yellow voxtex on the ground. After a while, a lion claw climbs on the ground, then a muscular bidepal beast with a mask jumps in the ground. Sweetie Belle smiles. "Appear Number 54: Lion Heart (rank 1/ 100 DEF / 100 ATK)
Spike rubs his head. "Eh... 100 ATK? What can it do?"
Sweetie Belle sets a card. "Lionheart, attack Sigma."
Spike's eyes widen. "What?" The beast throws a punch at the robot but the robot blocks it by its sword. After a while, a yellow orb is flying into the creature's paw and releases a shockwave toward Spike. The purple dragon tries to resist the shockwave but he flies and lands on his face.
Spike : 2200 LP
Spike stands up. "What's happening?"
"Once per battle, Lionheart can use one material to slap the battle damage to opponent." Sweetie Belle shows a card. "And Final Sigma deals double battle damage while it's in the extra deck zone. You got the result, I'll end my turn here too."
"I see. My turn." Spike draws. "Hah, I got my card." He shows a card. "I activate 'Forbidden Chalice', it will gain 400 ATK to a monster but its effect will be negated."
A droplet falls into the creature as it falls down. Sweetie Belle huffs. "That's cool. Next time don't use that deck."
"Maybe." Spike points at the beast. "Attack Sigma, flame sword."
The robot raises the sword and slashes the beast. After a while, the beast is destroyed but its claw flies into Spike and slashes through him.
Spike: 0 LP
Spike kneels down and holds his chest. "How?"
"First lesson." Sweetie Belle walks to the purple dragon and shows him a card. "Never underestimate the backrows."
"But... my monster is unaffected." Spike stands up and looks at the card. "Dimension wall?"
"The effect is... like number 54. You receive all the battle damage." Sweetie Belle looks around. "Where can I find my dragon?"
"You don't have to." Sweetie Belle looks up and sees the black dragon holding a chain and flying inside. The black dragon tosses the chain at Sweetie Belle. "Next time, don't use the same move."
Sweetie Belle pulls the chain and sees the small metal dragon struggling to break free of the chain. "Where did you get this chain?"
"That's my chain." Red Eyes grins. "So... what do you want to talk about?"
"Why did you suggest Spike this deck?" Sweetie Belle points to Spike's deck. "Why Numberon?"
"Easy for newbie, but can slap anyone." Red Eyes flies behind the purple dragon. "Please protect me."
Spike doesn't know what to do. Sweetie Belle sighs in frustration and leaves the room. "Come on Spike, let's go to the library. I will teach you as much as I can."
Spike nods and follows the white filly. Rarity and Twilight stare at each other. Rarity taps her hoof. "I think she shouldn't."
"Good chance to make others learn a lot from her." Twilight nods. "I will go back to my library." Twilight and Rarity leave the school
