Apple Bloom was in her room looking at her cards remembering her fight with Sweetie Belle. ‘I have to get my hoofs on some better cards. My deck needs a grade three.’ The next day Apple Bloom entered Card Capital and say Scootaloo in a fight with Silver Spoon.
“I stand and draw this fight belongs to me.” said Scootaloo
“This fight’s not over yet” said Silver Spoon
“Why don't you see for yourself. I ride Asura Kaiser.”
“Is that a grade 3”
“Destroy her Asura Kaiser finishing hold”
“I can’t believe I lost”
“Only two damage” said Apple Bloom shocked
“Oh hey Apple Bloom. What are you doing here, I didn't know you liked vanguard?” asked Scootaloo
“Well you see I just started playing not to long ago.”
“Really, why don't you and I have have a fight?”
“Sure, but do you mind if I get a booster back first. You see I don’t have any grade threes.”
“You're just joking right”
“No I’m afraid not”
“Wele do mind telling me what clan you use?”
“I use Royal Paladin’s. Why do you ask?”
“Oh no reason” said Scootaloo. ‘Maybe I can help Apple Bloom some how.’
“Hey you think you're some sort of big shot. Wale the number one fighter here is challenging you to a cardfight.” said Diamond Tiara
“Then I accept your challenge”
“Stand up Vanguard”
“Destroy her Asura Kaiser” said Scootaloo
“I lost”
‘Scootaloo is really strong at vanguard’ thought Apple Bloom
“That makes 29 victories in a row. Scootaloo your the best!” said Snips
“Wale we do the great Scootaloo for nothing” said Snails
“Where you bluffing or something, because you're the worst player I have ever beaten?” asked Scootaloo
“Well I was just going easy on you” said Diamond Tiara
‘Yeah right, I bet you were going all out’ thought Scootaloo
“So Apple Bloom let me guess you want some more booster packs?” asked Sweetie Belle
“How did you know?” asked Apple Bloom
“Wheel you have been buying packs of late. Let me guess still looking for a grade three?”
“Yeah I still have not gotten one yet. But I think todays the day I will finally get a grade three”
Then Applejack entered the store “Apple Bloom I thought I told you to straight home after school today. You know we have a lot of work to do on the farm. Now come on” said Applejack
“Applejack I didn’t forget I just thought I stop on my way home and buy a booster pack thats all.”
“Now come on Apple Bloom were leaving” said Applejack wale dragging her by her tail.
“But”
“No buts we are leaving you can play with your friends tomorrow.”
The next day at Card Capital.”Here you go Apple Bloom one booster pack.” said Sweetie Belle
“Thanks” said Apple Bloom opening the pack. “Please let the be a grade three in here. Grade one and next grade two, grade zero, grade two, the last card all right Solitary Knight Gancelot.“
“Hey the card you got is a Royal Paladin unit just like your deck right” said Sweetie Bell
“Yeah I finally got one a grade three” Then she say Scootaloo enter the story. “Hey Scootaloo can we have cardfight now?”
“Are you sure because I’ve got something for you.”
“Oh it can wait, now let battle.”
‘Ok, sense Apple Bloom doesn't have any grade threes I won't use any of mine. I know Apple Bloom might be mad at me for going easy on her like this. But I’m not the type of pony that would play with unfair advantage unless that pony deserves it.’ though Scootaloo “Ok then let battle.”
They drew their five cards. ‘This is a terrible starting hand what a pain’ thought Apple Bloom.
“So are you going to take a redraw or not” said Scootaloo.
“A redraw”.
“You don’t know what a redraw is. See once each game you have the chance to take any unwanted cards from your hoof and trade them in draw got it.”
“Are you serious”
“Of course and heres a tip you sould try to have a grade one, two, and three in your opening hoof if possible because thats the easiest strategy.”
“Of course that way you ride you’re vanguard to the next grade on each of your first three turns. Thanks for letting me know Scootaloo”
“No problem you're my friend right. I’ll do anything to help.”
“Well then I will redraw three cards.”
“I will redraw two cards. Now are starting hoofs are set lets go.”
“Stand up Vanguard”
Apple Bloom was Stardust Trumpeter. Wale Scootaloo was a red and with mechanical earth pony.
“I guess I will be taking the first turn then” said Apple Bloom
“Yeah going second is what I prefere” said Scootaloo
“I ride the Little Sage Marron. I’m not able to attack on the first turn so I pass it over to you.”
“Ok then I ride the Screaming’ and Dancing Announcer, Shout.” She turned into a squid with a bow tie, sunglasses, headphones, and a mic. “When you ride a Nova Grappler on top of Battleraizer then you can move him to a rear guard circle. Then I call the Queen of Heart, and the Shining Lady.” A mechanical unicorn with a heart on the tip of her appeared. As well a armored earth pony mare with red mane and tail appeared. ”You see there's a reason I like to second, because it let me attack first. With support from Battleraizer the Queen of Heart will attack Marron. When Battleraizer is used as a support card he adds 3000 power.”
12000 to 8000
“I guard with Weapons Dealer, Govannon” A white and green armored earth pony shouted in front of the plast.
12000 to 13000
“I will have Shining Lady support Shout on attack on Marron.” Shout screamed sending out a shockwave.
12000 to 8000
“I guard with Elaine”
12000 to 18000
“Check the drive trigger”
“There isn't a trigger thats good.” Elaine blocke the shockwave and then disappeared.
“Did you really had to guard thous? Guess my turns over I shuffle Battleraizer back into my deck as part of his ability. Come on give me your best.”
(Queen) (Shout) (RG)
(RG) (Lady) (RG)
“Stand up my avatar ride Blaster Blade. I call wingal and the Knight of Silence, Gallatin”
(Gallatin) (Blaster Blade) (RG)
(RG) (Wingal) (RG)
“Great make sure to came at me with everything. You can’t take damage while attacking and missing an attack just hurts your chances.”
“I attack Shout with Gallatin”
“I don’t guard, and now I’m going to check for a damage trigger.” (no trigger) Gallatin slashed Shout with his sword.
“I support Wingal with Blaster Blade and attack Shout. Wingal ability activates when he supports Blaster Blade he give him an extra 4000 attack power. Then I check for a drive trigger, no trigger.” Blaster Blade also slashed Shout with his sword.
“I do a damage trigger check, it’s a stand trigger. The trigger on this unit allows me to add 5000 power to a unit I give it to Shout. Pulse I get to stand one of my rear guard units”
“No not that, wait that doesn't do anything to me.”
“Yeah that trigger works better on my turn.”
“Good because I was a bit worried there” Apple Bloom said in relief.
‘This is going to be my last ride of the game’ thought Scootaloo. “I ride Hungry Dumpty.” She turned into a mechanical egg with one eye, sharp teeth, and a rode and at the end was a human-like head. “Now I move the Queen of Heart and then I call the King of Sword.” A mechanical earth pony stallion with a sword Appeared.
‘What is she up too’ thought Apple Bloom.
“I call Tough Boy, and Brutal Jack.” A gray mechanical earth pony appeared, as well as a mechanical dragon.
(King) (Hungry Dumpty) (Jack) 2 Damage
(Queen) (Shining Lady) (Tough Boy)
“Wow Brutal Jack is only a grade two but he has 11000 attack power”
“Yeah I know but in order for me to attack with him I have to do a counterblast. I counterblaste and realice Brutal Jack. Then I support him with Tough Boy and attack Blaster Blade.”
19000 to 9000
“What a powerful attack.” Brutal Jack opened his mouth a shot a laser a Blaster Blade.”I check for a damage trigger.” (No trigger)
“Shining Lady supports Hungry Dumpty and attacks Blaster Blade.” He stuck a finger and send out a shockwave. “Drive trigger check oh yeah. You probably recognize this card so now I get to stand up one of my units for another attack.”
“You don’t mean”
“Exactly Brutal Jack plus I get give away 5000 attack power which I’m also going to give to Brutal Jack.”
“16000 power” Apple Bloom said with fear. The shockwave hit Blaster Blade. “I check for a damage trigger.” (No trigger)
“Now I attack your Blaster Blade with Brutal Jack once more.” He shot another laser at Blaster Blade.
“I check for another damage trigger, nothing there.”
“I’ll have the Queen support the King and attack Blaster Blade. When the Queen supports the King give him an extra 4000 attack power.”
“It’s just like my Blaster Blade and Wingal combo.” The King swung his sword at Blaster Blade. “Damage trigger check.” (No trigger) ‘Four damage in one turn Scootaloo is really good at vanguard. My only chance is to hit her with everything. This is it.’
“Good draw” said Sweetie Belle
“I call on the power of the proud white wings of fate ride Solitary Knight, Gancelot.” She turned into a armored pegasus with a sword in his right hoof. “Now I activate his counterblast if Blaster Blade is in the soul I can pay two I can give him 5000 power as well as pulse one critical. I will activated again, the in call Little Sage Marron. Now with the support of Marron, Gallatin attacks Hungry Dumpty.”
18000 to 9000
‘What I thought she said she didn't have any grade threes’ Scootaloo thought remembering there was a booster pack wrapper on the when she was talking to Apple Bloom earlier. ’She must of just pulled it. Then that her handicap is over and I can use my grade threes. Now I only have two cards in hoof and only one has a defense shield. If I guard this attack I can still take the three damage that Gancelot will hit me with. I’m safe as long as she doesn't get a critical trigger in the twin drive check.’ “Ok I will guard that with Battleraizer.” Gallatin slashed Battleraizer with his sword.
“I will have Wingal support Gancelot and attack. Twin drive checking the first card no, the second card no agian.” Gancelot slashes Hungry Dumpty with his sword.
“I check for three damage triggers. First card is Clay-Doll Mechanic no trigger, no trigger on the second another Clay-Doll, and third check Invincible no trigger.”
“I got so close but thats my turn.”
“I stand and draw here it goes I ride Asura Kaiser.” She turned into a giant mechanical minotaur with six arms with a different weapon in one. ”I activate Brutal Jack’s counterblaste. With support from Tough Boy I’ll have Brutal Jack attack your vanguard. he shot a laser Gancelot.
“I check for a damage trigger”
“Awoh no trigger” said Sweetie Belle
“I support the Queen of Hear with the King of Sword in an attack on your vanguard.”
20000 to 9000
“I guard with Epona and intercept with Gallatin.”
20000 to 24000
“Next Shining Lady supports Asura Kaiser and attacks Gancelot.”
16000 to 9000
“I guard with Gallatin and Starlight Unicorn.” ‘Just get met to my turn.’
“I check the twin drive. First check no trigger, second check oh yeah I good.”
“A Scootaloo I hate to rain on your parade but thats a grade three not a trigger.”
“You see Asura Kaiser skill activates whenever I drive check a grade three and it alwas me st stand one of rear guards.”
“What really no way”
“I stand Brutal Jack and have him attack your vanguard.” Jack shot another laser at Gancelot.
“I check for a damage trigger no trigger thats game.”
“Great work Scootaloo that makes 30 wins in a row” said Snips
“Well done” said Snails
‘Scootaloo’s strong but not in the way Spike and Sweetie belle are I love being able to fight al sorts of ponies’ thought Apple Bloom
Just then Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon came in and say Apple Bloom battling Scootaloo and rush over to watch. But it was already over. They say what was in Apple Bloom vanguard circle. “Hey you finally got a grade three.” said Diamond Tiara
“Yeah I just got it today and it’s my only grade three” said Apple Bloom
“You mean to tell me you battled Scootaloo with only one grade three unit in your entire deck?” asked Diamond Tiara
“Yes”
‘So I was right that was her only grade three. With a proper deck she could be a really great cardfighter.’ thought Scootaloo “Hay Apple Bloom remember I told you before the fight I have something for you.” She said while going through her bag.
“Oh yeah thats right”
“Here Apple Bloom” Scootaloo said while give Apple Bloom her gift.
Apple Bloom looked at it and said. “This are grade three Royal Paladin’s.” There were two Solitary Knight Gancelots and four Crimson Butterfly, Brigittes.
“Sorry it’s not a lot, those are all my grade three Royal Paladin’s. I was planning to give them to before are fight but you were kind of anshan use. Now edit your deck with those cards and have another fight.”
“Your on Scootaloo” said Apple Bloom editing her deck.
“Stand up Vanguard”
