“It’s time for the moment you have all been waiting for. The final match in the Card Capital shop Tournament. From team Crusaders it’s Apple Bloom. And from team Overthrow it’s Supreme Chancellor Rainbow Dash. This may be her first time in the tournament. But Rainbow Dash has lead her team all the way to the finals. So team Crusaders better be careful.” announced Rarity
“Is it true that Rainbow Dash has never played before.” Applejack whispered to Silver Spoon
“She didn’t participate in the last tournament. So I just thought she liked to watch. But I’ve seen her play and she is good.” said Silver Spoon
“I would say I’m awesome!” said Rainbow Dash
“There is no need to worry Scootaloo. There is no way she’ll lose.” said Snips
“Yeah!” agreed Snails
“I guess you're right.” said Scootaloo
‘What kind of fight are you going to give me Rainbow Dash.’ thought Apple Bloom the she got the veson she had last night of two Soul Saver Dragon that roared. ‘What was that?’
“Alright, lets begin.” said Rarity
Then Apple Bloom and Rainbow Dash drawn there five cards.
“Are you you ready?” asked Rainbow Dash
“Yes!” said Apple Bloom
“Then let begin!”
“Stand up, Vanguard!”
“Barcgal!”
“Lizard Runner Undeux!"
“Undeux?”
“If I’m not mistaking you got the first move Apple Bloom.”
“Yeah, I do!” ‘Come on Apple Bloom, focus on the fight.’ “I ride Little Sage Marron! With Barcgal to rear guard. Then us his skill to supore call Flogal and end my turn
(RG) (Marron) (RG)
(Barcgal) (Flogal) (RG)
“It’s Rainbow Dash’s turn and I draw. I ride the Embodiment of Armor Bahr. Then I call Dragon Dancer Monica and Flame Seed Salamander.” Three Salamanders on fire appeared. “With support from Flame Seed Salamander, Dragon Dancer Monica attacks.” Monica jumped up and kicked Marron with her hind legs.
“Damage trigger check! (no trigger)”
“I think I’ll be getting rid of that dog the likes to supper call his friends.” Apple Bloom looked confused. “Flame Seed Salamander’s skill retires a grade 0 unit when he boost a successful attack then returned to the deck.” Apple Bloom’s confuse look turned into a shocked one. The three salamanders surrounded Barcgal and retired him. “Now that he is taken care of I’ll attack with my vanguard. Drive trigger check. (No trigger)” Bahr ran up and slashed Marron with his sword.
“Damage trigger check (Critical trigger)
“That a bad time to get a critical trigger. said Snips
“Talk about bad luck.” said Snails
“This is getting interesting.” said Silver Spoon
“Keep it up.” said Diamond Tiara
“I don’t think she was prepared for somepony at level.” said Rainbow Dash
‘That right, Rainbow Dash played with Spike, So he is strong. But I know I can beat her.’ thought Apple Bloom “I draw, here I go. Stand up my avatar I ride Blaster Blade.”
“Bring it on!”
“Then I call Gallatin and two Pongals. First Gallatin will attack your vanguard.”
10000 to 8000
“Sorry, but I guard with Iron Tail Dragon.”
10000 to 13000
Gallatin swung his sword and slashed Iron Tail Dragon.
“What’s next?”
“With support from Flogal, Blaster Blade attacks. Drive trigger check! (Critical trigger)”
“She got a critical trigger!” said Silver Spoon
“The 5000 power will go to Pongal and the critical will stay with Blaster Blade” She swung her sword and send two cards to the damage zone. (both no trigger) “Now I’ll have my Pongals combined their power and attack Bahr.” One of the Pongals run up and bit her.
“Damage check. (no trigger) Wow three damage in one turn.”
“That’s the end of my turn.”
“I stand and draw, I ride Dragon Knight Nehalem. I move Monica back, Then I call Chain-attack Sutherland and Berserk Dragon. I activate Berserk Dragon’s counterblast and retire Gallatin. Now I activate Sutherlands skill, he gains 3000 power whenever one of your rear guards is sent to the drop zone. Then I’ll have Sutherland attack you.” Sutherland lit up his horn and shot a blast at her. (no trigger) “I’m not done yet I’ll follow it up with Nehalem.”
10000 to 9000
“I guard with Llew.”
10000 to 19000
“Drive trigger check, (heal trigger) here we go, heal trigger! I add 5000 to Berserk Dragon and recover one damage.” She pointed her spear and shot lightning at Llew. “Now with support from Monica, Berserk Dragon attacks.” The dragon opened his mouth and one head shot fire and the other shot lightning.
“Damage trigger check!” (no trigger)
“What do you think of my skills? And I’m just warming up.”
“Rainbow Dash is better than I thought.” said Scootaloo
“We might win this.” said Silver Spoon
“Apple Bloom!” whispered Applejack
‘Who know she was this strong.’ thought Sweetie Belle
“Huh, are you scared? I thought after you made it to nations. You would put up a better fight. I guess you have given up.”
Then Apple Bloom got a serious look on her face. “I stand and draw! I ride Solitary Knight, Gancelot. I call Young Pegasus Knight.” A young armored pegasus colt with a sword appeared. “Then I counterblast, I move Pongal to the soul. Then I add Soul Saver Dragon to my hoof. When a card is added to the soul Young Pegasus Knight gains 3000 power to the end of the turn. I counterblast once more. And I add one more Soul Saver Dragon to my hoof.”
‘She has two of them!’
“I call Soul Saver Dragon!”
“Wow!” whispered Applejack
“Then I activate Gancelot’s counterblast, when Blaster Blade is in the soul he gains 5000 power and plus one critical.”
“Wow! Three counterblasts, this turn.” said Silver Spoon
“She sure is fired up.” said Diamond Tiara
“First Young Pegasus Knight attacks.” He flew up into the air the swung his sword at her. “Now with support from Flogal, Gancelot attacks.” She flew up into the air ready to strike.
19000 to 10000
I guard with Dragon Monk, Genjo.” An earth pony mare with a staff on a dragon appeared. “Berserk Dragon, intercept!”
“Twin drive, first check!(No trigger) Second!(Critical trigger)”
“Yes, it’s a critical trigger.” said Scootaloo
“Yeah, but….” said Sweetie Belle
‘Even with the 5000 power Gancelot’s attack won’t get through.’ thought Apple Bloom “I give the 5000 power and plus one critical to Soul Saver Dragon. “Soul Saver Dragon it’s in your claws now.” He roared and fired a energy ball at her.
“Damage trigger check. (no trigger, draw trigger) Draw trigger, I add one more card to my hoof.”
“Now Rainbow Dash is at five damage!” said Snips
“Come on Apple Bloom win this.” said Snails
“Wow, this is a great match!” said a colt
“Well, Apple Bloom did play in the nation tournament.” said a different colt.
“Yeah, but her opponent is just as good.”
“Who do you think is going to win this?”
“I don’t know!”
“You can do this! Just keep doing what you're doing!” said Diamond Tiara
The crowd was cheering half routing for team Overthrow and the other half for team Crusaders.
“Very nice, this is a wonderful final match.” said Rarity
“Thanks for the support, everypony!” said Rainbow Dash waving her hoof. “Hear them they want me to win and thats what I’m going to do. Here I go! Final Turn!”
“Really!” whispered Apple Bloom
“I ride Garnet Dragon Flash!” She turned into a fox creature with wings that stand on it’s hind leg with a sword. “I call Embodiment of Spear Tahr. It’s time for you to burn everything in this world to ash with your apocalyptic fire, Dragonic Overlord.”
Apple Bloom remembered her first match.
"Now for the final swing I use Dragonic Overlord to attacks Blaster Blade. Lets check for a trigger. Now that's a pretty sweet bonus Tahur that's means 5000 more power plus one damaged." said Spike. He burned her and she screamed out in pain. “That's right another 2 damage plus to the 4 damage you already taken. It's over."
“A blast from the past. Spike used it against you. Now show me how good you have gotten from that first fight. But just so you know I’m not going to go easy as Spike did. I activate Dragonic Overlord’s counterblast, to add 5000 power.”
“Oh,no! Watch out!” said Scootaloo
“What’s the matter?” asked Snips
“It’s not just a power increase, whenever the Dragonic Overlord attacks hits a rear guard he can stand up for another attack.”
“This sounds bad.” said Snails
“So, she can just keep attacking over and over.” said Snips
“Yeah, but I’ll save the best for last. First I’ll have Sutherland attack with support from Tahr. The dragon flew up and the unicorn fired a magical blast at her.(no trigger)
“Tied at five damage.” said Sweetie Belle
“Now here comes Garnet Dragon Flash. When his attack hits he can add 3000 power to any Kagero and I think you might know who that would be.” said Rainbow Dash pointing to Dragonic Overlord. “You can guard if you want to, but I don’t think you can stop my Dragonic Overlord with only a few cards in hoof. It’s over! I attack with Garnet Dragon Flash against your vanguard.” She flew up and headed towards Apple Bloom.
9000 to 9000
“I guard with Epona.” Epona appeared in front of her
9000 to 19000
“I check the twin drive. (no trigger, Critical trigger) Everything goes to Dragonic Overlord.” She slashes Epona with her sword. “Monica gives a boost, and with all the bonuses added Dragonic Overlords power is 26000.”
“This doesn't look good.” said Scootaloo
“Burn everything to ashes! Eternal Flame!” Dragonic Overlord shot fire at her and it engulfed her. When the fire cleared there stood an earth pony in a maids outfit with stone gloves with one of her hoof up as shield was coming from the glove. “Iseult!”
“All right! Apple Bloom was able to stop it.” said Scootaloo
“I guess I’m not as good as Spike yet. My turn is over. You're stronger than before.”
“I stand and draw, Holy dragon bring judgment to the battlefield I ride Soul Saver Dragon.” Said Apple Bloom than relieving it was just like here vision. ‘I saw this.’ “I was Holy Charging Roar, with her soulblast I add 5000 power Young Pegasus Knight, Flogal, and my other Soul Saver Dragon. With Flogal’s support Soul Saver Dragon attacks. Lightning Judgment!” She shot a energy ball. “Twin drive check!” (both no trigger) The energy bal hit sending the six card to the damage zone. (no trigger)
“Apple Bloom has won the final match! And the champions of the Card Capital shop tournament our team Crusaders.” announced Rarity
“You did it! Apple Bloom!” said Scootaloo
“You did well!” said Sweetie Belle
“Thanks.” said Apple Bloom then looked to see that Spike was gone.
“Way to go, Apple Bloom!” said Rainbow Dash
“Thanks”
“You know, you have gotten stronger.”
“It doesn't feel like it. This might sound weird but it sometimes feel like my cards are telling me how to win. Besides, it looks like Spike doesn't think I’m there yet.”
“In any case, you’re not the only one how has changed. Even he’s changed a lot, compared to when he has first moved back. I think he might be a little bit the way he before.” Rainbow Dash took of the outfit. then left.
“Good work, Apple Bloom.” said Applejack said taking off her outfit.
“Thanks, Applejack!”
“I’m glad you won and I don’t have to wear this ever again.” She said giving back to Rarity
At the park Spike was laying down on the bench. Then Rainbow Dash came along.
“I thought I might find you hear. I thought you might congratulate me on my almost victory.” said Rainbow Dash
“Congratulations on a boring match.” said Spike
“Yeah right, that game was great. Just when I counted him down and out. Apple Bloom found the strength to push on. I can see why you were watching here over these few months. Though she did say something weird to me. That she felt like her cards are talking to her.”
When Spike heard Rainbow Dash said that he was shocked. “She said that.”
