Sunset took a deep breath as she headed to the dueling arena. She knew that eventually she might have to face some of her friends at the tournament. But she didn't know that she'd be facing the one person who was about on the same level as her and Burst. "Ready Twilight?", she asked.
"As ready as I'm going to be. May the best duelist win.", Twilight said with a nervous smile.
Sunset: 4000
Twilight: 4000
"I'll make the first move.", Sunset said, "First I'll summon a monster in defense mode, set a card facedown, and end my turn."
"My move then.", Twilight said, "I'll play a card facedown and use Ancient rules to summon Dark Magician. I end my turn."
"I'll start by summoning Hyper Synchron, then I'll tune him with my face down monster to synchro summon Stardust Dragon! Now I'll activate my trap, Assault Mode Activate! I tribute Stardust Dragon to special summon Stardust Dragon-Assault Mode!", Sunset said.
"I activate my quick play spell Dedication Through Light and Darkness! I tribute my Dark Magician to special summon Dark Magician of Chaos from my Deck! And since I activated a spell card during your turn I can special summon Magician of Dark Illusion from my hand!", Twilight said.
"Stardust! Destroy her Magician of Dark Illusion with Cosmic Flame!", Sunset said.
Sunset: 4000
Twilight: 3100
"Nice move there! Now I summon Magician's Robe and discard a spell card from my hand to special summon a Dark Magician from my Deck! And since I drew him, I get to special summon Palladium Oracle Mahad by revealing him Now I'll overlay him with my Dark Magician to xyz summon Ebon Illusion Magician! Now I'll use his effect! I detach one overlay unit to special summon another Dark Magician from my deck. Now I'll have him attack! This activates Ebon's effect! Since a normal monster is attacking, I can target one monster you control and banish it!", Twilight said.
Sunset: 1500
Twilight: 3100
"I activate Stardust Assault's effect! Whenever an effect is activated, I can negate that effect and destroy that card! And since it's the end phase, he returns to the field!", Sunset said, " You got in a pretty good hit. Now it's my turn. I summon Victory Viper XX03 and equip him with Bashing Shield to boost him by 1000 points and equip him with Gravity Blaster to give him 400 more points! Attack Magician's Robe! XX Blast! And Stardust, you take down her Dark Magician of Chaos! Cosmic Flame! Next I'll set a trap and end my turn."
"Target locked! Fire!", Victory Viper said as he blasted Magician's Robe!
Stardust unleashed a blast of flame-like energy that wiped out Dark Magician of Chaos! "How's that for star power?", he said.
Sunset: 1500
Twilight: 1300
"I play the card Dark Magic Veil to special summon a dark spellcaster from my hand! I special summon Dark Magician Girl! And she gets a 300 point boost for each Dark Magician in my graveyard! Destroy her Stardust Dragon-Assault Mode! Dark Magic Attack!"
"Not so fast, I activate my trap! Storming Mirror Force! It returns all attack position monsters you control to your hand!", said Sunset, "Now that it's my turn, I'll attack you directly for game!"
Sunset: 1500, win
Twilight: 0, lose
"Good duel Twilight! I've never seen that many monsters summoned in one turn!", Sunset said with a kind smile, "If you had attacked with them all at once, you could have won."
"Thanks Sunset. I just didn't want the duel to end too soon.", Twilight said with a smile. The two then went to the sidelines where Burst and Gilda were waiting.
"Sweet match Sunset!", Burst said, "Twilight almost had you there!"
"Talk about a comeback.", Gilda said with a small smile.
The group then turned their attention to the next duel that was to be held as Rainbow Dash and Inferno stepped onto the dueling arena!
