//------------------------------// // (Final Part) Mighty Magic // Story: Yugioh Spiez: Opperation Duel: Final Season // by DakariKingMykan //------------------------------// CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO The earth tremors were getting worse, and the lights in the sky seemed to get brighter, only because the moon was ever so close to reaching the brink of its decent onto our planet, it wouldn’t be any more than forty-five minutes before it would all be over. Still, no one seemed to notice or care, not even the ponies and other creatures being controlled by Celestia. Even Twilight and her friends were all just partying in the streets with their new friends… …Singing, dancing, laughing and playing as if there was no tomorrow… which, unbeknownst to them, wouldn’t be if Sabrina and I didn’t defeat Celestia and soon. SCORE: Celestia: 4200 VS Sabrina: 2000 & Mykan: 3500 “If only I could brainwash the two of you now.” Celestia hissed at us “But why bother, when you lose this duel, I want your last thoughts to be that all the world was destroyed because of your blunder.” She turned and thundered at me “Especially you, Mykan Jaden! You launched me into space, you robbed me of my power and glory, and you will suffer immensely, knowing the world was destroyed all because of you.” My fury was showing brightly “I warn you, don’t test me!” I sneered angrily. “Why shouldn’t I? It’s true. You started all this with your actions. Fortunately you lead me to find Equestria, which I deemed much better than here. Son in many ways, you are now responsible for two worlds left to suffer a horrible fate.” “Stop it!” shouted Sabrina “Mykan did what anyone would have.” “My wife speaks the truth.” I said “You can try and pit the blame on me all you like…” I paused “Although in some ways, it is true, I did endanger Equestria, but I had no way of knowing of its existence, and even still that’s no excuse for the way you behaved! You came to Earth to sap the energies of innocent people with intention of conquering and controlling us, and now look at you… using Celestia’s body to fulfil your own selfish and horrid desires for dominance! You’re nothing more but a vicious monster, and we won’t allow you to continue in this conquest any longer.” “Allow me?!” snapped Celestia “You dare to control me? I am the ruler of all Equestria, and soon to rule many worlds beyond. You two are nothing more than the last of a dying breed or pitiful Earth slime! It will make my victory all the sweeter as I watch you disappear along with your entire Earth.” “What makes you think you’re going to even win?” said Sabrina. “I don’t think, I know! Last time I saw, you were both running extremely low on cards, and I have the ultimate weapons to destroy you with, and I have yet to launch my attack!” With that, she changed her Cyber Dragon Infinity into attack mode, and since your husband is very much defenseless, I’ll go after him!” She ordered her dragon to attack me. “I don’t think so…” I shouted “Activate MIRROR FORCE!” “Sorry, but I use Cyber Dragon Infinity’s ability, letting me use the precious overlay unit I have and cancel your card out.” I anticipated that would happen, and so did Sabrina. The attacked continued straight at me, and I had no choice but to take the hit, and I got struck really hard and was knocked off my feet! “Mykan!” cried Sabrina. SCORE: Celestia: 4200 VS Sabrina: 2000 & Mykan: 1400 A good 2100 hundred of my life points were lost. “I’m alright.” I said as I slowly got back onto my feet. “For now you are…” hissed Celestia “But did you forget about my Robbin’ Goblin card? Every time you take damage from an attack, a card is thrown from your hand!” “I KNOW!!” I shouted, and discarded one of my only two cards, leaving me with only one left. That’s when her Numerrious monster looked ready for action against Sabrina’s super Cyber End Dragon! “Poor little princess.” Celestia mocked “As if you can be called that. You’re about to see how a real princess battles!” “Try me!” snarled Sabrina. “Very well, don’t say I didn’t warn you! Numerrious, I command you to attack! Demolish that so-called dragon of hers!” With that, her Chaos Number charged. “Hold on…!” snapped Sabrina “I activate my face down, BATTLE FUSION!” “What…?!” “Ah!” I said with glee “Of course; that allowed Cyber End Dragon to absorb the attack strength of Numerrious!” (Atk: 8000) ---> (Atk: 18,000) “Eighteen-thousand?!” cried Celestia “You can’t do this!” “I can, and I just did!” said Sabrina “Cyber End Dragon, counter-attack now! With an attack power that high, though your monster can't be destroyed, you’ll lose this duel.” As Cyber End Dragon prepared for assault, Celestia burst out laughing again, “I agree; YOU shall lose this duel.” “What?” snapped Sabrina. “What does she mean?” I wondered aloud. “I activate a card that I hold; STOP HAMMER!” Sabrina and I both gasped. “This card allows me to negate my own monster from attacking, which will also stop the Cyber End Dragon from attacking as well.” Sure enough, her monster skidded to a dead standstill. “Just don’t forget the downside to that card…” said Sabrina “It causes your monster to lose 500 attack points.” (Atk: 10,000) ---> (Atk: 9500) “Oh, what a shame…” Celestia mocked “But then again, I simply just will activate this card that I hold; DOUBLE OR NOTHING!” “Ah!” cried Sabrina. “No! Not that!” I added. Celestia snickered “Since my monster’s attack was negated, this card allows it to attack you once more, only this time… its attack... IS DOUBLED!!” (Atk: 9500) ---> (Atk: 19,000) “Nineteen thousand?!” cried Sabrina. “Oh, no…” hissed Celestia “You think far too small, for I have one final card to play. I activate my face down; DOUBLE TENSION! Since my monster has made a second attack, its points are doubled once more!” (Atk: 19,000) ---> (Atk: 38,000) Sabrina and I could only scream in overwhelming shock. “Its power… it’s unbelievable!” I cried!” The monster began to charge up again for its attack. “GO!!” shouted Celestia. (Atk: 38,000) VS (Atk: 18,000) “No, Sabrina!!” I cried. There was nothing whatsoever I could do to stop the attack. She was going to lose for sure, but just then she sharply turned to face me. “Sabrina?” “Mykan… it’s up to you now.” she said “But there’s one last thing I can do…” she pointed down at her last facedown card, which immediately told me what it was…! And I thought way back several to our wedding anniversary. We were spending a quiet night, having an outdoor candlelit dinner, looking at our wedding photos, and Sabrina had a surprise for me. “Mykan, I made this…” she said as she showed me a single card, and telling me she based it on the deep love we shared. “Sabrina, this is incredible.” I said as I admired the card “This incredible, but… this last effect, why in the world would you put this in, no one will want to use the card with an effect like this.” Sabrina knew I’d feel that way about the card. She wasn’t so sure herself when she made it, “But don’t you see...?” she told me “If this card is used at just the right moment, and in just the right way, it can be very helpful, and besides… it also demonstrates that I’d give my life for you, the same way you gave yours for me many times. I love you, Mykan.” “Oh, I love you too.” “Sabrina…” I said. My wife turned sharply to face Celestia “I activate DEVOTED LOVE!” “What is this?” snapped Celestia. “It stops your monster from attacking and ends the battle phase, and then…” Sabrina turned to look at me “Mykan gets to draw one card.” “Sabrina…” I said gazing at her with deep concern. “And after that… my life points drop to zero.” “Sabrina!” SCORE: Celestia: 4200 VS Sabrina: “0000” & Mykan: 1400 She slowly got down on her knees, now completely out of the duel, but at least she didn’t get attacked or she would’ve been really hurt by the blast. “Sabrina.” I said, a tear leaking from my eye. “Oh, isn’t this heartbreaking.” Celestia mocked “Well, at least you’ve succeeded in helping me out. Once, I take you down, Mykan, my long awaited revenge shall be complete, and your world will perish under the crushing moon.” I took no notice of anything she said; I just staring sadly at my wife. “You gave yourself up for me.” Sabrina gazed at me, and she was smiling. “What are you waiting for? Draw your card.” Despite all the overwhelming feelings I had swimming inside of me; I drew my card, and gazed down at it. Then I gazed at my deck, and then suddenly, I had an idea, one that would very well help me turn the tables on the duel once and for all. “Well then…” Celestia said “I shall now place all two cards facedown, and end my turn.” She felt very confident that on her next turn she’d win it all “He hasn’t got a chance.” She thought wickedly “With both of these monsters, anything Mykan summon, I’ll absorb and then destroy them, and if those fail, my three facedown cards will help. “BLACK HORN OF HEAVEN will destroy a monster he tries to special summon. XYZ REFLECT will stop any spell or trap effects targeting my Xyz monsters and deal him 800 points of damage. Finally, my spell card that I hold, STOP DEFENSE will enable me to stop his monsters form defending. Then, I’ll wipe him out for good. I can’t lose!” “It’s my move now.” I said as I drew a card “And now, I activate the card that was given to me through the courtesy and sacrifice of my wife…” I gazed at her, and she gazed at me. “I play CARD DESTRUCTION!” “Ah!” “Now we must both discard the cards we are holding, and draw the same number that we had.” “No! I’ve lost my Stop Defense!” Celestia growled in thought “No matter. I still have my two trap cards ready. Come on, summon a monster.” I drew two cards and then grinned at Celestia. “I now place one card facedown, ending my turn.” “Huh?” said Celestia “That’s it? You didn’t summon any monster?” “No, I didn’t. Does it concern you?” Celestia was now confused and insulted. “Perhaps you are in need of a reminder of what happens.” She sneered as she drew a card. She held no monsters to summon, and no playable cards to actually play at the moment, and she already felt confident enough she would succeed. “And now, the first item is for you to once again discard half the cards in your deck. My Castle of Stromberg doesn’t pay for itself you know.” All I did was just stand where I was, with my eyes shut, and smug grin on my face and I said “…I can’t.” “What?” snapped Celestia “You must; you are required to discard half your cards!” “He knows…” Sabrina said “He just can’t pay up.” “Silence!” shouted Celestia “You are no longer in this duel.” “I wouldn’t speak to my wife like that, since she happens to be telling the truth.” I said “And it was thanks to her last move that I was able to realize the one, and ultimately fatal flaw with your castle.” “Impossible! My castle has no flaws. I designed it to perfection.” “Wrong!” I snarled “There’s one flaw that you overlooked, and it’s about to cost you dearly. You Castle requires me to discard half the cards in my deck on your turn in order to keep it in play… but there’s just one problem with that. Take a look…” I held up my duel disk, and Celestia looked deeply. “You see, I have only one card left...” I said “...And I can’t very well discard half of that now, can I.” “Ah!” Celestia cried, and her castle began to crack, and quiver. “And since I can’t pay the castle’s cost effect, your card can no longer remain on the field!” The castle crumpled away to complete and total nothingness. “I… I don’t believe it!” cried Celestia “It’s impossible!” “Actually, it’s quite possible.” I said “You spent so much time gloating about how strong and powerful you were that you didn’t stop to think of every little detail when taking these cards for yourself.” Sabrina smiled proudly at me, and I turned back to face her. “Thanks honey. I couldn’t have discovered that weakness without your help.” Celestia was still not discouraged “So, you destroyed my castle, I no longer require it. The time has come for you to pay the ultimate price! Numerrious attack his life points and end this duel forever!” Her monster stepped forth and charged up. “Attack…!” Then the monster dove straight at me. “Just a minute…!” I shouted “I quickly discard this one card; KURIBOH!” and at that second, a wall of furry little protectors shielded me from the attack. “What’s going on?!” shouted Celestia. “What’s going on is, thanks to Kuriboh, my life points are safe from your attack!” Celestia turned red with rage, and steam was shooting through her ears as the light around her glowed brightly. “Why you… you… you I…! CYBER DRAGON ININIFTY, ATTACK!” Her last monster aimed straight at me and fired “You have lost now, anyway!” snarled Celestia. “Think again.” I said “I activate NUTRIENT Z! Whenever I lose 2000 or more of my life points, this card quickly grants me 4000 points before I get hit.” My points went up to 5400, and then I took 2100 damage, leaving the score at SCORE: Celestia: 4200 VS Mykan: 3300 Now Celestia was starting to shake. “He outwitted me. He actually survived my attacks!” Her worry suddenly faded into an evil glare “Bravo, Mykan… but there’s still one little detail yet to be resolved. With only card in your deck, you’ll lose the duel automatically, unless by some miracle you can possibly win.” “Oh, there is a possibility.” I said as I drew my last card “You forget, I still have one facedown card, and I activate it now; EXCHANGE OF THE SPIRIT!” “Ah!” “I was waiting for just the right moment to play this card, and now that my deck is completely emptied, all I have to do is pay 1000 life points…” SCORE: Celestia: 4200 VS Mykan: 2300 “And now, each of us must exchange all the cards in our graveyards with those in our decks.” “No!” growled Celestia. Sabrina smiled with joy in her eyes. Now I got every single card I lost right back and destroyed Celestia’s deck as well, making her now very low on cards, all of which were cards she had already used. “And now, the card that I drew…” I said “I activate CARD OF SANCTITY! Allowing us both to draw until we hold six cards” Celestia and I both drew, and of course Celestia did draw good cards she used before, but it wasn’t her turn and she could do nothing. “And now, for my first move, I activate the spell HEAVY STORM, which will destroy all the spell and trap cards on the field.” Celestia braced herself as the strong winds blew both her traps away. “And now, for my next spell, I use GRACEFUL CHARITY! I now draw three cards, and then discard two.” “Draw all the cards you like, you’ll never get past me or my all-powerful monsters.” “Wrong. Not only are your monsters about to fall, but I’m going to end this once and for all. This shall be the greatest magical show you ever saw.” “I’ll start by playing POT OF GREED so I may draw two more cards, giving me seven all together. Then I shall use BRAIN CONTROL. So I pay 800 life points…” SCORE: Celestia: 4200 VS Mykan: 1500 “Now I’ll take control of something you stole form my wife; the Cyber Dragon Infinity.” Celestia could already see what I was planning to do; use its power to rid the field of her Numerrious. “A very cunning plan, except for one flaw…” she snarled at me “I can use the ability of Numerrious, by spending one overlay unit; I can destroy your monster.” The Cyber Dragon was destroyed instantly, but my smile only widened “That’s exactly what I wanted you to do.” “Huh?” said Celestia, and suddenly she remembered the effect of her own monster “Oh, no! You get to summon a Chaos Number!” “That’s correct, and since I recovered all my monsters, I now get to build the overlay network and summon forth NUMBER C80: REQUIEM IN BERSERK!” (Atk: 0) “And now that I have it out on the field, I shall sacrifice it to the graveyard, in order to summon DARK MAGICIAN GIRL!” (Atk: 2000) “And now that she has arrived, I can use the spell SAGE’S STONE! When this card is combined with Dark Magician Girl, I am able to summon forth my greatest ally; DARK MAGICIAN!” (Atk: 2500) My two magicians stood side-by-side, and nodded at each other. “Ha! As if those overgrown turncoats can actually help you.” snarled Celestia. “Oh, they will…” I said “They just need one more ally, which I intend to summon now. I play MONSTER REBORN! I shall now revive one monster I discarded; DARK MAGICIAN OF CHAOS!” (Atk: 2800) “Wow, what a lineup!” Sabrina muttered as she gazed at all three of my powerful magicians. “When Dark Magician of Chaos is special summoned, I can put the Monster Reborn card back into my hand, but I prefer to play a different spell this time SHRINK!” “Ah!” “This powerful spell will cut your Number’s attack power in half!” (Atk: 9500) ---> (Atk: 4750) “This can’t be!” cried Celestia. “I’m afraid it is, and now, my magic show reaches its climax, thanks to this next spell; BRAVE ATTACK! Now all three of my magicians can attack your one monster all together, and combining their attacks into one!” Celestia shrieked in fear and outrage! “Go get her, Mykan!” Sabrina cheered. I nodded at her and then turned to face my monsters “Now my magicians ATTACK NOW!!” (Combo: Atk: 7300) VS (Atk: 4750) All three of my monster’s clashed with Celestia’s. All three of them were destroyed, but Numerious was not destroyed. "Haven't you forgotten, fool!" Celestia snarled "My monster can only be destroyed by another Number monster!" "True!" I shouted "However, your life points are a different story. You still take the damage!" "Ah...!" SCORE: Celestia: 1650 VS Mykan: 1500 “You!" Celestia snarled "This is not over, Mykan!" “No Celestia, it’s all over for you, I’m still not finished. Once again I play MONSTER REBORN, which I shall use to revive my Dark Magician of Chaos again!” (Atk: 2800) “Thanks to his special ability, I get to play Monster Reborn again, to revive the last monster in my graveyard, CASTLE GATE!” (Atk: 0) “No! You wouldn’t!” cried Celestia. “I will!” I sneered “You wanted magic, you wanted harmony? Well, let me give them to you then. I play my final spell; HARMONIC WAVES! It will change my Magician into a four-star monster…” Celestia was shaking and fretting in panic “This can’t be happening!” I glared at her furiously “The special ability of my Castle Gate now activates. When in attack mode, all I have to do is load any monster with less than six stars into the cannons on its battlements, and then… your life points will get hit, and be subtracted by the total attack points of the monster I fired. …PRINCESS CELESTIA… IT’S GOODBYE!!” “NO!!” “ATTACK…!!” My castle fired, and Celestia got shot super hard, losing the rest of her life points. “B’AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!” With the loss of her score, even Numerious exploded in one colossal big bang, shaking the entire island. All over the world, the ponies and other Equestrians began to feel very strange. “What’s happening?” asked Twilight. “I don’t know, but I don’t think I like It.” said Spike. Back in Equestria, all the other creatures had that same sickening feeling something was wrong. “What’s up with them?” asked Lee. “Never mind that…” cried Marc as he gazed at his hands, which were starting to glow, and soon, his whole body was glowing. As was Lee’s body, Clover, and all the rest of them. “Okay, seriously freaking out now!” cried Clover. Sabrina leapt and cheered for joy, and she ran right up to me. I grabbed her in my arms and twirled her around cheering with her. “You did it!” Sabrina cried. “No, we did.” I corrected her “I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you, Sabrina.” My wife smiled and wiped the joyful tears from her eyes. Celestia didn’t know what she was feeling, but her fury was really starting to show. “Nobody… Nobody defies the light!!!” she roared. She glared at me and Sabrina, and then bolted upright shouting “I may not have defeated you, Mykan… BUT I WILL STILL HAVE MY REVENGE!!!” Her astral mark glowed as she prepared to attack, “Wait! What about our deal?” (Skip to 1:17 and picture it like this) “DEAL WITH THIS!!” she shouted and fired her beam, which suddenly stopped at halfway, and began to vanish, into the wormhole. The winds began to pick up, blowing Sabrina’s hair in long waves, and we saw Celestia’s duel platform vanish into the worm hole as well, as the winds grew stronger, and stronger…! Then, a few small Equestrian creatures came flying by. Sabrina and I leapt out of the way as an enormous path of all the Equestrians came crashing through, even Twilight and her friends. Pinkie Pie tried to hold on for dear life to a rock, but lost her grip as Rainbow dash crashed into her. All the creatures began spinning around in a giant whirlwind of colors and light directly over the wormhole, and growing larger every second. Celestia ducked down and swerved as many creatures flew past her, getting sucked into the twister. Rarity flew right past her, screeching while trying to fight the pull. More and more creatures, all the dragons, griffons, Minotaur, other ponies, every Equestrian creature, were flying in from all over as the wind got stronger, and the twister ever larger and Celestia felt herself getting lifted off her feet. She grabbed on for dear life to a rock, but ultimately, the pull was so strong, than she let go and got sucked into the wind screaming with everyone else as she whirled round and around. Sabrina and I didn’t get sucked into the wind, but were never so frightened before in our lives. Sabrina held onto me tightly, and I held her close as the whirlwind continued. Its narrowing tip by the bottom then connected straight onto the wormhole, and now the whirlwind was acting like a giant whirlpool; sending all the creatures back to Equestria from whence they came. The twister got smaller and smaller as more of the creatures vanished, and the wormhole began to close! Finally, all that was left was Celestia. Her head slammed right into the now extremely small wormhole, screaming and wailing. Sabrina and I slowly turned to face her, and then watched as she vanished out of sight. Her astral mark came right off her head, and fell to the ground, and the portal vanished in a big flash light lightning. Then all was quiet. Sabrina and I looked around; the lights in the sky were all gone. The oceans had calmed down, and even the moon was back in its normal place in the sky. Then we turned round when we saw a bright flash! The mark that was once on Celestia’s head was pulsating and glowing. It shattered, and the alien creature emerged. Sabrina and I held each other close as we watched the alien go crazy as it shrunk down and then shattered into a million tiny bits of light and was gone! … All over the world, the astral marks on everyone’s heads disappeared, and everyone just stopped where they were, all confused. “What happened?” “What am I doing here?” “Must’ve been a wild party...” All the humans that were transferred to Equestria were warped back to Earth, all landing at the Academy, where all the once brainwashed people were released from their detainment, but hardly remembering a thing… only the spies remembered the last thing that happened. …they won their duels, and then… nothing. Jerry was also transported back to WOOHP, still not remembering too much, except he had to use the anti-magnet to save the moon, only to find the moon was already back in its proper place. “Oh, my… no more white wine spritzers before bed for me.” As for the Equestrians, they were all sent home. All free form the curse, and ironically, all the damages caused by me and my army had been reversed. There was no damage to Canterlot Palace, no ponies were injured, not even those who fell from high places. That magic room Celestia once sat in had vanished too. All the ponies were just waking up to find themselves outside, lying on the ground. “Oh… oh my.” groaned Celestia. “Sister…?” Luna peeped as she got up. “Princesses…?” Twilight said “What happened…?” Cadance and Shining Armor couldn’t understand a thing. “Oh, Nellie!” said Applejack “How long have I been out for?” Rarity whined “Ugh! This is no way for a lady to be; sleeping on in the dirt!” “Hey.” Rainbow said as she held up some beat up cards “What are these things?” “I’ve never seen cards like these before.” said Fluttershy. “Ooh-Ooh-Ooh…! I got it! I got it!” chirped Pinkie, but then she stuttered and stammered “Okay, maybe I don’t got it.” The others sighed in dismay. *** “We had no idea what happened to us, until I saw Zecora.” Twilight said as the magic images faded “And everything you just saw is exactly what happened. Spirits don’t lie, and they can tell you most everything.” Lightning and Krysta were positively speechless. “Galloping Galaxies...” Lightning muttered. “And you kept the cards ever since?” asked Krysta. Twilight nodded “As a reminder of what happened to us all. It’s also an Earth game, so we didn’t wish to replicate these cards, and instead we created “Magic Card Creatures.” Lightning gazed down at the cards and thought it was frightening that such a fun game was inspired by events that almost doomed two worlds. “I wonder what happened to the Earth people after those events.” said Lightning. “We don’t know…” Twilight said “The spirits didn’t tell us that much, and besides, if their world was saved, I guess it’s best to just let it be, just as long as we’re all careful not to let this happen again.” Satisfied after hearing a good story, Lightning challenged Twilight to another game of Magic Card Creatures, and Krysta watched, but still all three of them wondered what did happen to the people in the aftermath.
