“I attack Enigman Wave with Knight of Friendship, Kay. Kay gains 3000 power when a card named Blaster is in the vanguard cycle.” said Apple Bloom
10000 to 10000
“I guard with Enigman Ripple.” said Shining Armor
10000 to 15000
Kay ran up then back once Ripple blocked his path.
“I attack with Blaster Blade with support from Marron.”
17000 to 10000
“No guard.”
“Drive trigger check.” (no trigger) She jumped up and swang her sword at him.
“Damage trigger check.” (no trigger)
“With a boost from Wingal Brave, the Knight of Loyalty, Bedivere. He also gains 3000 power if my vanguard has Blaster in it’s name.”
17000 to 10000
“I guard with Guide Dolphin.” A dolphin appeared to stop Bedivere’s attack.
“That ends my turn.” ‘I was only able to do one damage that turn. But I’m prepared for my next turn.’
‘With the units she has out. She is all set up for her next attack. Apple Bloom you're a good rival. But your mistake is thinking I would letting her do it.’ “I stand and draw! Being of pure power descend I ride Enigman Storm.” He turned into a giant alien pegasus. “I call Cosmo Roar, Guide Dolphin and Enigman Shine.” A giant alien earth pony appeared. “With a boost from Cosmo Roar, Masked Police, Grander attacks Knight of of Loyalty, Bedivere.”
“Attacking my rear guard?”
“With Grander’s skill he adds 2000 power to my vanguard.” Grander jump up and kicked Bedivere. “With a boost from Guide Dolphin, Enigman Shine attack Knight of Friendship Kay.” He steps on Kay.
“I see, he is trying to stop my strategy.”
“It’s Soul Saver Dragon’s skill. With a five card soulblast, you can power up three of your rear guards. Leading to a battle phase I might not defend. By decreasing the number of your rear guards. I lowered the power of your attacks next turn. You did a nice job preparing for this attack on your previous turn. But I won’t let you use it easily.”
In Flip Side’s room
“It looks like Shining Armor is taking control of this game.” said Lightning Dust
“When a fight goes one direction it’s difficult to turn it around.” said Sunset Shimmer
“Apple Bloom is out of Shining Armor’s league. It is obvious what the outcome match is.”
“Your right Lightning Dust, The only way for her to win is to use her Psyqualia.” said Flip Side ‘So use it. Use it and victory is yours. Show me a victory worthy of user of Psyqualia.’
In the stadium.
“I attack Blaster Blade with Enigman Storm. Drive trigger, (no trigger, stand trigger) stand trigger Enigman Shine stands with another 5000 power.” Storm flapped his wings sending a shock wave at her.
“Damage trigger check.” (no trigger)
“Enigman Shine attacks.” Shine jumped up and stepped on her. (no trigger) “That ends my turn.”
‘Shining Armor is a top fighter. He figured out I was going to use Soul Savers Dragon’s skill. He weakens its potential and dealt me two damage. He’s a top level fighter.’ Then her eyes glowed blue and purple as cards went pass her. “Wait!” ‘Psyqualia, would show me the cards to use and the destination out of my hoofs. But I have to win this on my own. I can't let it control me again.’ Apple Bloom was on the planet Cray. “It’s the right thing to do I have to fight him with my own strength. It’s the right thing to do. I’m not going pull any punches. This is the only way to become stronger.” The units disappeared.
Flip Side was shocked and thought. ‘What’s this?’
In the Princess room.
“For a moment I sensed Psyqualia. But then it disappeared.” said Celestia
“What does that mean?” asked Cadence
In the stadium.
“Draw! Sacred dragon appear and shed holy light on this battle field, I ride Soul Savers Dragon. I use my soulblast, Holy Charging Roar.” ‘This ability should have powered up there units. But I will still make this attacks count.’ “I call Gordon and Palamedes. Palamedes will attack Enigman Storm.”
13000 to 11000
“I intercept with Grander.”
13000 to 16000
“Boosted by Marron, Soul Saver Dragon attacks.”
26000 to 11000
“I don’t guard.”
“Drive trigger check.” (both no triggers) She held out one of her claws and fired a energy ball at him.
“Damage trigger check.” (no trigger)
“With a boost from Wingal Brave, Gordon attacks.”
18000 to 11000
“I guard with Cosmo Fang.” Gordon slashed the mechanical whale.
18000 to 21000
“Thats the end of my turn.”
In the dugout.
“Shoot! If Soul Saver Dragon’s skill had worked at its full capabilities. Apple Bloom could have done one more damage.” said Scootaloo
In the stadium.
“Lestion Apple Bloom I respect you as a cardfighter. So I’m not going to hold back. I put Guide Dolphin into the soul to give my vanguard 3000 power. Then I call Cosmo Beak. Counterblast to add 4000 power to my vanguard. I call Commander Laurel and Glory Maker.” Two earth pony appeared one a mare and one was a stallion. “I activate Enigman Storm skill if his power is 15000 or more he gets plus one critical.”
“He gets an extra critical.”
In team Golden Lancer’s dugout.
“Apple Bloom is done. Shining Armor has her right where he wants her.” said Flash Sentry
“He sure does. She can’t stop his next attack.” said Twilight Sparkle
in the stadium.
“Boosted by Glory Maker Enigman Storm attacks Gordon.”
“Why him?”
“I’m going to stop you from intercepting. So this way my attacks can hit your vanguard. Glory Maker’s skill if she is boosting the vanguard and I have four or more damage. Then 4000 power is added.”
28000 to 8000
In the stands.
“28000 power!” said Snips
“If he had that type of power why attack a rear guard?” asked Silver Spoon
“Good point. He could have used a rear guard to take it out.” said Diamond Tiara
“I don’t think so. Shining Armor has a plain.” said Rainbow Dash
In the stadium.
“Drive trigger check, first. (no trigger) Second, this trigger couldn’t have come at a better time. Stand trigger activated, I add 5000 power to Enigman Storm and have Glory Maker stand up.
33000 to 8000
Storm flapped his wings sending a shock wave at Gordon. “Now I activate Commander Laurel’s skill. I put four of my units to rest. And then I stand Enigman Storm.”
“So you get to attack with Storm one more time.”
In the stands.
“So Commander Laurel’s skill let’s the vanguard stand up.” said Silver Spoon
“So that means he can attack with Enigman Storm again.” said Snips
“It’s alright Apple Bloom can afford to take one more damage.” said Snails
“Are you sure.” said Diamond Tiara
“Resting four of your units mean you can't use them. But he get to twin drive twice witch could give him more trigger and a card advantage. Attacking Gordon was the best move. He is doing everything he can to give the final attack the best chance of hitting. Enigman Storm can finish the game right here. With his skill.” said Rainbow Dash
“That’s right he got an extra critical.” said Snips
“Apple Bloom has four damage if she takes two more.” said Applejack
in the Crusaders dugout.
“Glory Maker is standing.” said Sweetie Belle
“Yes, so this attack is going to be coming at full power.” said Rarity
“It might be too strong for her to stop.”
“This doesn’t look good.” said Scootaloo
In the stands.
“Apple Bloom is against the wall. This attack could decide the match.” announced Pinkie Pie
“This is getting intense.” said Fluttershy
in the stadium.
“You are stronger than I thought. But I need to win for my team. So lets finish this.”
In Flip Side’s room.
“Why?” whispered Flip Side ‘She is in an overwhelmingly situation. How can she look so calm?
In the crusaders dugout.
‘This is Apple Bloom’s true strength.’ thought Spike
in the princess chamber.
“So this is Apple Bloom’s true strength.” said Celestia
“We couldn’t see it until now because she was using Psyqualia.” said Luna
in the crusaders dugout.
“She looks like…” said Sweetie Belle
“Her eyes are like Spike’s did before he won.” said Scootaloo
in the stadium.
“With Glory Maker’s support go Enigman Storm.With Glory Maker’s skill puts him at 33000.”
“I won’t give up. Paladin’s stop him.” Then two Gallatins, a Key and a Earth pony mare with a blue mane and tail appeared to block they attack.
33000 to 35000
“Drive trigger check.(both no triggers) Incredible you still had enough to defend yourself.”
“I know you would try this so I held on to alto of shield cards.”
in team crusaders dugout.
“Awsome!” said Scootaloo
“Wow, they are both fighting their hardest.” said Sweetie Belle
“Yeah!” said Rarity
‘Two fighters giving it their all is better. Then bring your opponent to his knees.’ thought Spike
In the stadium.
“That’s the end of my turn. I was surprised you were able to stop that attack.”
“I had to use up all my cards to defend. But I won’t give up till the end.”
In the crusaders dugout.
“Apple Bloom didn’t take any damage that turn. But she has no cards in her hoof. And she is down a unit in the front row.” said Sweetie Belle
“It’s her turn to attack but she’s running out of allies.” said Scootaloo
“And don’t forget Shining Armor has two Diamond Ace’s.” said Rarity
“So he can stop two attacks.”
“Not only that Cosmo Beak can intercept.” said Sweetie Belle
in the stadium.
‘Even though it’s my turn, I’m in a bad position. But I fought my hardest with my rightful clane.’ thought Apple Bloom. She drew her card and was shocked to see what she drawed. “You came for me? See the king as he once was as he blazes a trail with his knights. I ride Alfred Early!”
In the crusaders dugout.
“Alfred Early was on the top of her deck.” said Sweetie Belle
“Yes she can do it. She still has a chance.” said Scootaloo
In the stadium.
“I activate Alfred Early’s skill, stand up once more my avatar! I superior call Blaster Blade. With Blaster Blade’s skill, Cosmo Beak exits the field. Counterblast!” Blaster Blade stabbed the ground with his sword and magical lighting went through the ground hitting Cosmo Beak. “Now I got rid of your intercept. We are ready to finish you off.”
in the stands.
“It looks like Apple Bloom has a chase to turn this game around. What a great timing with Alfred Early.” said Pinkie Pie
“Indeed it’s like her deck won't give up.” said Fluttershy
in the princess chamber.
“Well she did say “we”, didn’t she?” asked Celestia
“She is connected to her cards without Psyqualia.” said Luna
“Looks like it.”
in the stadium.
“I attack with Swordsman of the Explosive Flames, Palamedes!” Palamedes flew up and swung at Shining Armor with his swords. (no trigger)
“Five damage! I’m going to protect myself from your remaining attacks.”
“With Marron’s support Alfred Early attacks.”
18000 to 11000
“Perfect guard with Diamond Ace.”
“Drive trigger check, first check. (no trigger) Second check, (stand trigger) Sharon. Thank you! Stand trigger I stand Palamedes and give him 5000 more power.”
‘Thanks to that stand trigger, she can attack two more times. I got one more perfect guard. Even if I block the next attack I can't stop the one after it.’
“Here I come with a boost from Wingal Brave, Blaster Blade attacks.”
14000 to 11000
“I don’t guard. I leave it in the hoofs of the damage trigger.” Blaster Blade jumped up and swang his sword at him. “Damage trigger check. (no trigger) It looks like this is as far as I go.”
“The winner is Apple Bloom.” said the Judge
The crowd cheered.
In the stands.
“There you have it team Crusaders is moving on to the finals. Team Asteroid and Team Crusaders! These two team will clash tomorrow for the championship.” announced Pinkie Pie
In the princess chambers.
“Amazing! said Cadence
“To think she won without using Psyqualia!” said Luna
“But she can’t afford to do that tomorrow. She will need to use it if she wants to beat Flip Side.” said Celestia
“A battle between two ponies with the power of Psyqualia. There is a lot a stake.” said Cadence
“Psyqualia, gives the pony the ability to win. I wonder what happens when two ponies have it. Now we will find out the true nature of that power.”
“Is that what he wants us to do?” asked Luna
in the stadium.
Apple Bloom and Shining Armor were shaking hovies. Then Scootaloo came up.
“Apple Bloom you did it we are in the finals.” said Scootaloo
“We trust you for taking down team Asteroid.” said Flash Sentry
“We ar counting on you.” said Twilight Sparkle
“Do your best.” said Shining Armor
“Alright!” said the crusaders
“Hey! The finals are tomorrow so let get to the hotel and rest up.” said Rarity
In Flip Side’s room
“So are opponent is team Crusaders.” said Sunset Shimmer
‘Do you really think you can beat me without using your Psyqualia. Apple Bloom! I’m going to enjoy wiping that smile of your face. Once I destroy you I’ll be the only one with this power.’ thought Flip Side
