"Phantom Blaster Overlord skill adds 2000 power as long as Phantom Blaster Dragon is in the soul." said Flip Side
"I call Demon World Castle, Fatalita and Grim Reaper. With a boost from Grim Reaper, Phantom Blaster Overlord. Persona Blast!"
"28000 power!" said Apple Bloom
in the stands.
"And he has two critical." said Rainbow Dash
"Then that means Apple Bloom has to stop it." said Silver Spoon
"She'll lose." said Diamond Tiara
In the stadium.
"I can't let him bet me." said Apple Bloom 'I wanna win agents Flip Side.' She notice a blue aura around her right hoof and shock it. 'Flip Side was right.' she thought as she remembered what Flip Side said.
"If you aren't the real Apple Bloom, then who is? Hungry for power, seeking to become stronger than anyone. That is certainly the true Apple Bloom that was lurking within you. Yes, the same as me."
"I guard with Lien, Key, Llew and Margal."
in the dugout
"Apple Bloom shield is 35000." said Sweetie Belle
"And Flip Side's attack is 28000." said Scootaloo
"It's okay! She'll be able to hold out... probably." said Rarity
"Probably." said both Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle
in the stadium.
"You don't want power? Then you're powerless to stop me. Realize your own stupidity. First check, I got a heal trigger. That 5000 power to Phantom Blaster Overlord and recover one damage." said Flip Side
In the dugout.
"The power should have gone to Fatalita. But if he draws a second one." said Sweetie Belle
"You mean he knows." said Scootaloo
in the stadium
"Second check, draw trigger." said Flip SIde
In the stands.
"No way!"
"Is that even possible?" Asked Diamond Tiara
"He was able to draw two triggers and get throw Apple Bloom's defense." said Rainbow Dash
in the stadium.
"It's over" said Flip Side as Phantom Blaster Overlord slashed thru Apple Bloom's guard. "Like I said the helpless will fall into despair, and those with power will get all the glory." Then Phantom Blaster Overlord slashed her. Apple Bloom screamed out in pain.
"Is this the end of the line?" asked Apple Bloom as she remembered what Spike said in there last match. 'But it's not over yet.' "Damage trigger check. (no trigger)"
In the stand.
"That's five damage." said Diamond Tiara
"Just one more." said Silver Spoon
in the stadium.
Apple Bloom reveled the second card.
"What?" said Flip Side
"Heal trigger I add 5000 power to Alfred Early and recover one damage." said Apple Bloom
"I end my turn."
In the stands.
"Wow, Flip Side was able to get thru Apple Bloom's shield . But she was able to pulled a heal trigger." said Pinkie Pie
"Talk about a close escape." said Fluttershy
"Both of them are giving us the best cardfight."
In the stadium.
"I can still fight. But only which of my selves is going to fight."
Inside Apple Bloom's mind.
"The me that's hungry for power?" asked one Apple Bloom
"Or the light?" asked the other.
Then two orbs appeared one of light and one of darkness.
"What is this?"
The both reached a hoof out one went for the orb of light the other went for the orb of darkness. Then they found themselves fused
In the real world.
Apple Bloom drew a card. "This is, I see the real me. Avatar of light and shadow become one and then true power is born. I ride Majesty Lord Blaster." She turned into an armored earth pony with a flaming main and tail with a sword with stars on it. "Blaster Dark attacks Fatalita." Blaster Dark jumped up and slashed Fatalita. "With a boost from Wingal Brave, Blaster Blade attacks Phantom Blaster Overlord."
14000 to 13000
"No guard." Blaster Blade jumped up and slashed Phantom Blaster Overlord. (no trigger) "I don't like it. Light and darkness, using both knights."
"They're both me. Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark are both my avatars. The me that thirsted for power and the one who found inner peace. Both of them are me. With a boost from Marron, Majesty Lord Blaster attacks. Majesty Lord Blaster's skill, Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark go to the soul."
In the princess chambers princess Celestia remember whait happened last night.
Celestia lit her horn and the light and dark orbs appeared. “Apple Bloom, which one do you chose?”
“I choose…..” before Apple Bloom could make a chose the two orbs started to fuse together. Then a card appeared and fell into her hoofs.
"I believe that card suits you."
"Majesty Lord Blaster!"
back in the present.
"Majesty Lord Blaster gains 10000 power. On top of that as long as Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark are in the soul, Majesty Lord Blaster gains 2000 power and an extra critical." said Apple Bloom
"How? Royal Paladins and Shadow Paladins are supposed to oppose each other. Yet both side's are giving her power." said Flip Side
"This is the power of Majesty Lord Blaster. Thanks to this card I know what I have become. In the past I was scared I didn't understand my power. But now I'm in control." Both Flip Side and Apple Bloom found them selves on Cray. "By using Psyqualia I became a different pony and end up hurting the ones I loved. I won't make excuses for my actions or the thing I said. I jumped at the chance to finally feel strong. Being given so much strength it was overwhelming. But that was only a part of me. I have accepted who I am and it's time for you to do the same."
"What?"
"You were searching for a way to get stronger and I think you might have lost yourself in the process. Think about why you wanted that power. Can you even remember anymore. So you could win nationals with your friends."
Flip Side remembered of his friends. "Stop it." The returned back to their world. "Silence you foul. I guard. Spare me your pity. You don't know me or what I'm capable of doing."
"Drive trigger check, first. (no trigger) Second check, Picture it! Try to remember what it felt like to count on you friends when you need it most. Critical trigger, I give all the effects to Majesty Lord Blaster."
On the plant Cray Flip Side saw Majesty Lord Blaster and too his left was the spirit of Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark to his right.
"What is this?" asked Flip Side as he remembered the times he spent with Spike and Lightning Dust. "My friends!" he smiled as he contued to remember the good times.
'Flip Side, I knew the real you was hiding somewhere in there.' thought Apple Bloom
Flip Side turned around and saw Majesty Lord Blaster. He lifted his sword and used it to adsorbed the evil energy from Flip Side into it. He screamed has it left him.
"Your fine."
"Apple Bloom." he said before he collapses but Apple Bloom grabbed him. When he looked at her he saw Spike.
"Come back, Flip Side." said Spike
back in the stadium.
Majesty Lord Blaster jumped up into the air then clashed sword with Phantom Blaster Overlord. Then slashing him. The six card whent into Flip Side's damage. (no trigger)
"I lost." said Flip Side
"The winner is Apple Bloom." said the judge The crowed cheered.
In the princess chambers
"The Vanguards have decided our destiny through their results." said the voice
A light fired in to space. Then it reached the plant Cray. On the surface of Cray the battle was still going one. Blaster Blade was about to strike Blaster Dark. But then he stopped as well as the fighting. When the light hit the ground.
"We are defeated." said Blaster Dark
"The time for fighting is over, Blaster Dark. The other clans are waiting." said Blaster Blade holding out his hoof. Blaster Dark took it and Blaster Blade helped him up.
On the hill stood the princess in spirit form.
"It looks like the Royal Paladins' are victorious." said Celestia
"So they decided their fate by synchronizing with the fight of those who have Psyqualia." said Luna
"Perhaps the result of the showdown isn't the only thing that was synchronized. It appears that the understanding between those two is because they were synchronized with Apple Bloom and Flip Side. None of this would have been possible without your help. My sincere gratitude on behalf of our world. Thank you." said the voice
Then they found themselves back into there chambers.
"What just happened?" asked Cadence as she went back to normal not remembering what happened when she was posed.
In the stadium.
Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo ran up to Apple Bloom.
"You did it, Apple Bloom." said Sweetie Belle
"That just mean we just won the national championship." said Scootaloo
In the stands.
"That was an awesome fight." said Snips
"Yeah." said Snails
"She actually won." said Silver Spoon
"I knew she could do it." said Rainbow Dash
Somewhere else in the stand.
"That was a great fight." said Shining Armor as Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle nodded there heads.
In the stadium Flip Side walked back to his team.
"I'm done here let's go. And I think I'm going to change the team policy on losing game. Are you coming Sunset Shimmer?" asked Flip Side
"Yes." said Sunset Shimmer
on there wahy out Flip Side looked at Spike in the stands. 'Next time Spike, I'm going to beat you with my own strength.'
In the stands.
"Apple Bloom you saved Flip Side." said Spike
somewhere else in the stands
"Team Crusaders have won their first nation championship." said Pinkie Pie
In the princess chambers.
"I guess are work here is done." said Celestia
"So what do we do now?" asked Cadence
"There my be a time we are needed once again. But until then we should continue with our princess duties."
in the stadium
"Let give one more applause to our national champions team Crusaders." said Pinkie Pie as the crowed cheered.
"Thank you!" said a voice that Apple Bloom heard
Apple Bloom looked around to see who said it.
Later at the Apple farm.
"Good morning." said Apple Bloom
"That's not what you said when I woke you up. Here you go." said Applejack giving her breakfast
"Thanks."
"You haven't change a bit. You don't look like someone who won a national championship."
"What are you talking about, Apple Bloom is Apple Bloom. Of course she hasn't changed." said Granny Smith
"Right!" said Apple Bloom
After the tournamant was over, things went back to normal, just as they were before. Only one thing had changed. My Psyqualia had disappeared. When the tournament was done, I couldn't feel it anymore. I have no idea why. But that's fine with me. what's really important is using my own strenght to fight. That's what I believe.
Apple Bloom entered Card Capital and saw all her friends there. As well saw Spike at a standing card fight table.
"You're late." said Spike
"Sorry!" said Apple Bloom
"Spike has been waiting to have a game with you all morning." said Rainbow Dash
"A proper game this time." said Spike
"You really want to fight me?" asked Apple Bloom
"Because your one of the strongest fighters I know."
"Well this fight was a long time coming." said Sweetie Belle
"A match between Apple Bloom and Spike. This is going to be a fantastic fight." said Scootaloo
"I'm kind of envious. There is probable thousands of cardfights going all over the world. But maybe none of them are having as much fun as Apple Bloom and Spike right now." said Rarity
"Are you ready Apple Bloom?" asked Spike
"Yeah." said Apple Bloom
"Stand up!"
"The!" Spike only
"Vanguard!"
