//------------------------------// // Ride 47: Another Asteroid // Story: Cardfight Vanguard Equestria Saga // by VanguardLuard //------------------------------// “Finally the first match of the final fight of block C.” said Fluttershy “Scootaloo of team Crusaders vs Octavia of team Brilliant Song.” said Pinkie Pie “Let the match begin.” said the judge “Stand up, Vanguard!” Octavia turned into a metal dog. ‘She is using Royal Paladins the same clan as Apple Bloom. But no matter what I can’t lose this fight.’ “I ride Blaupanzer, and thanks to his ability he gain 2000 power as long as Blaujunger is in the soul. Then with Blaujunger’s skill I search my deck for a copy of Blaukluger to my hoof.” “Junger, Panzer, Kluger. The Blau series. Your playing evolving units. Hahaha.” “What’s so funny.” “You see I also use evolving units. I activate Drangal's skill, I look at the top five cards of my deck and if there is a copy of Knight of Quests, Galahad. I can do a superior ride.” She turned into an armored Earth pony with a sword as well the dog was next to her. “I call Margal and Marron. I will start with Marron attacking Blaupanzer.” Marron lit up his horn and shot lighting at Scootaloo. (No trigger) “Next Margal will boost Knight of Quests, Galahad’s attack.” (heal trigger) She ran up and swung her sword. (no trigger) “I ride Blaukluger.” She traded her gun for a sword. “Blaukluger power goes up by 1000 as long as Blaujunger is in the soul. Next I call Eisenkugel, Dancing Wolf, and King of Sword.” A mechanical earth pony with ball gun as well a wolf appeared. “I’ll have Eisenkugel attack, with his skill he gains 2000 power.” Eisenkugel shot the ball at the opponent. “Damage trigger check, stand trigger. The 5000 power will go to my vanguard and Marron will stand up.” “King of Sword will attacks Marron.” 10000 to 8000 “I guard with Elaine.” 10000 to 18000 “Boosted by Dancing Wolf, Blaukluger attacks. Drive trigger check. (no trigger)” Scootaloo ran up and swung her sword. (no trigger) “I draw, Knight of Quests skill activates. This is unfortunate.” Octavia said as she looked at her cards. “Not able to superior ride, to bad.” “In that case I ride Knight of Tribulations, Galahad from my hoof.” the dog turned into a bike. “I move Marron back and call Great Sage, Barron.” A unicorn with a staff appeared. “With a boost from Margal, Galahad attacks your vanguard. Drive trigger check. (no trigger)” She drove up and hit Scootaloo. (no trigger) “Marron supports Barron’s attack.” 16000 to 10000 “I guard with Cannon Ball.” Barron shot lighting out a mechanical orb blocked the attack. 16000 to 20000 “Thats my turn.” “Now it’s time to do my ultimate ride, Stern Blaukluger!” The mechanical pony got his gun back and got some wings. “With Blaukluger in the soul Stern gains 1000 power. Next Eisenkugel attacks your vanguard.” Eisen shot a ball at Galahad. (no trigger) “With a boost from Dancing Wolf, Stern Blaukluger attacks. 18000 to 9000 “I guard with Iseult.” Scootaloo fired her guns but they were blocked by Iseult’s shield. Twin drive, first check! Second check, stand trigger. Eisenkugel and he get the power as well. King of Sword attack.” The King swung his sword hitting Octavia. (no trigger) “Then Eisenkugel attacks again.” He shot his ball again. “Damage trigger check, even you did increase the number of attacks it was wasted. Elaine I add 5000 power to my vanguard and I recover one damage.” “I end my turn!” “I stand and draw!” ‘I believe the time is right.’ “I activate Galahad skill! I superior ride Knight of Godly Speed, Galahad.” The bike transformed so it had a blade on the top. “Tribulations skill activates, soulcharge! I call Young Pegasus Knight and send Margal to give my vanguard 3000 power. During my main phase when a card is sent to the soul, Pegasus skill activates. If my vanguard is a Royal Paladin he gains 3000 power. Also Barron has the same skill. Then I call High Dog Breeder, Akane and use her skill counterblast. I superior call Margal and send him to the soul to add power to Pegasus. This activates his skill and Barron’s. But I’m not done I activate my vanguard’s skill as well, counterblast. Because there are six or more cards in the soul he gains 3000 power and one critical.” In the dugout. “Pegasus Knight has 15000, Barron has 14000 and her vanguard is up to 17000 and two critical.” said Sweetie Belle In the Brilliant Song dugout. “Octavia is as impressive as ever. She powers up linking up with her allies. Thats the power of the Royal Paladins.” said the unicorn “It’s like her to do it this way. Waiting tell her units get into the right formation.” said Noteworthy In the infirmary. “Apple Bloom.” said Applejack “Applejack.” said Apple Bloom as she got up and then grabbed her head. “Apple Bloom you got to lie down. You need your rest.” In the stadium. “Barron attacks with support from Marron.” Barron lit up his horn and shot Scootaloo with lightning. “Damage check!” (no trigger) “I attack with Galahad.” She was heading towards Scootaloo. 17000 to 11000 “I guard with Battleraizer and King of Sword intercepts.” 17000 to 26000 “Twin drive, (no trigger, critical trigger) critical trigger! I add 5000 power to Akane and plus one critical as well. Supported by Pegasus Knight, Akane attacks.” 28000 to 11000 “28000 power! But I’ll hold out against it. I guard with Blaupanzer, Blaukluger, and Fighting Battleship, Prometheus.” A giant blimp with alot of guns on it appeared to block they attack with Panzer and Kluger as well. “It looks like you made it throw this turn only taking one damage.” “Of course! I had a lot of practice playing against the Royal Paladins. I know what to expect. I can tell you I’m going to win this fight. I draw, I call Asura Kaiser.” ‘All right! I have to make sure Stern Blaukluger attack gets throw.’ “Eisenkugel will attack Barron.” He shot his ball at Barron. “Asura Kaiser will attack Akane.” He attack Akane with his weapons. In the stands. “Why is Scootaloo attacking the rear-guard?” asked Silver Spoon “Look carefully at the units she retired from the field.” said Rainbow Dash They looked and saw that they were both grade two. “Now She can't intercept.” “By the looks of it I think Scootaloo is trying to clear the way for Stern’s attack. If the attack gets throw then the game might be her’s.” In the stadium. “With support from Dancing Wolf, Stern Blaukluger attacks Knight of Godly Speed, Galahad.” 18000 to 11000 Octavia chuckled. “What’s so funny?” “You may have gotten rid of my intercepts but I still have cards in my hoof. I guard with Alabaster Owl.” 18000 to 21000 ‘I won’t let it end like this. I won’t lose.’ “Twin drive check,(no trigger) heal trigger. I add 5000 power to Stern Blaukluger and recover one damage.” 23000 to 21000 “She fired her guns hit the owl and Octavia. (No trigger) “That’s five damage! But importantly….” “That’s right, When Stern’s attack hits I can activate his skill. With a counterblast of two and Discarding two cards from my hoof. I get to stand him and the rear-guard behind back up. This is my new finisher. Standing Cyclone Thunderbolt! I also activate Dancing Wolf skill as well. During the battle phase he gains 3000 power when he stand back up.” “I have no choice I don’t guard your attack.” “Stern attack with support from Dancing Wolf.” She fried once again at Octavia. (critical trigger) “The winner is Scootaloo.” said the Judge Then the crowd cheered. In the stands. “Scootaloo was able to win the first match.” said Rainbow Dash In the stadium. ‘That was a close game. She is skilled with the Royal Paladins. But Apple Bloom is better.’ “Good for you. It looks like you won the first match. But thats the only win your team will be getting.” “What?!” “By defeating me you fired up my teammates.” Somewhere else. “The winner is Sunset Shimmer.” said the judge “Over in block F it looks like team Asteroid won their match and is the top team of Block F.” said Pinkie Pie “It looks like the action in block C is heating up.” said Fluttershy “Oh, it her again she has no chance.” said Sunset Shimmer In block C. ‘Both Wisepony and Goddess of the Half Moon can intercept. I can still win this.’ thought Sweetie Belle “Unleash your binding grasp upon my enemies. I ride Seal Dragon, Blockade.” She turned into a dragon with bandages. “No not that card.” “Blockade activate your skill.” Then bandages went towards Moon and Wisepony. “As long as Blockade is my vanguard you can’t intercept. Call, Tejas with a boost from Bahr attacks Amaterasu.” Tejas opened his mouth and shot at Sweetie Belle. (no trigger) “Seal Dragon, Blockade attacks with a boost from Heatnail Salamander.” 16000 to 10000 “I guard with Lozenge Magus.” 16000 to 20000 “I check the twin drive, first (no trigger). Second, looks like I got draw trigger. I draw a card and give 5000 power to Blockade.” She breathed fire and hit Sweetie Belle. (no trigger) “The winner is Vinyl.” said the judge. ‘It’s just like she said.’ thought Scootaloo In the stands. “Shoot, they didn’t win this one.” said Rainbow Dash “The final match of block C is coming up.” said Fluttershy “Team Crusaders vs Team Brilliant Song! Only one of this two team can have the top spot in block C.” said Pinkie Pie In the stadium. “I’m sorry!” said Sweetie Belle “It’s alright you played your best.” said Rarity “So is this over or what? I heard Apple Bloom was sleeping or she is too scared to face me.” said Noteworthy “That jerk.” said Scootaloo “We can’t let Apple Bloom fight him.” said Sweetie Belle In the infirmary Applejack came back in and notice Apple Bloom was gone. In the stadium. “We are going to have to forfeit the match.” said Rarity “And the player from team Crusaders is here.” said Pinkie Pie The three of them saw Apple Bloom walking on the field. “Apple Bloom?!” said Scootaloo “Why?” asked Sweetie Belle “It’s alright I’m rested up and ready to fight. But I guess I’m disappointed in you two. It seems team Crusaders doesn't stand a chance without me.” said Apple Bloom The three of them were shocked to hear Apple Bloom say this. Apple Bloom got into position. “I thought you ran away.” said Noteworthy “Yeah right, why would I be afraid of somepony weaker them me.” ‘Could she really have mastered the Shadow Paladin deck? I’m going to win and became a member of Asteroid.’ ‘I’m stronger than anypony!’ thought Apple Bloom as her eyes glowed blue and purple.
