Ride 13: Shop Tournament Winner Crowned!

“It looks like you made it to the final round.” said Rainbow Dash

“Was there ever any doubt.” said Spike

‘That settles it the winner of this battle is moving on to fight Spike for the championship. I’m going to win for sure.’ thought Apple Bloom

‘I know Apple Bloom really wants to battle Spike. But I told her I would not hold back and I’m not going back on my word.’ thought Scootaloo

‘It’s my turn and were both at four damage. I have to find a way to get my attacks through.’ “Here I come Scootaloo, first I move Marron and Epona. Then I call Gancelot, I call Wingal as well.”

(Gancelot) (Alfred) (Blaster Blade)

(Marron) (Barcgal) (Wingal)

‘She’s shifting around her battle formation to increase attack power. This is the most important moment of the game. I’ll defend with everything I got.’

“With support from Wingal I’ll have Blaster Blade attack your vanguard Mr. Invincible. Thanks to Wingal’s support skill he gets an extra 4000 power.”

19000 to 10000

“I’ll let that one through.”

But that would be really easy to guard.” said Snips

“Thus that mean she’s giving up.” said Snails

Blaster Blade jumped up and swung his sword at him.

“Damage trigger check (stand trigger) yes I got one thats an extra 5000 power going to my vanguard and I stand my rear guard Invincible.”

“Power boost or not I’m attacking Mr. Invincible with Alfred. Royal Paladin’s it’s time to lend your power to the king.”

20000 to 15000

“I guard with Shining Lady.”

“Well that should do it a damage shield on top of the trigger effect that she just gave to her vanguard.” said Silver Spoon

“It looks like this attack isn’t going to be strong enough.” said Diamond Tiara

“I also guard with Rock the Wall”

20000 to 35000

“Hey what was the point of doing that? She just wasted another defense card.” said Diamond Tiara

“Actually you can’t be so sure of that.” said Cherilee

“My twin drive, first check (no trigger) second check. Alright a critical trigger.” ‘But even with 25000 the attack will not go through.’

“What is she going to do?” asked Silver Spoon

“Apple Bloom was able to get a critical trigger but it’s not going to help her.” said Diamond Tiara

“Looks like Scootaloo planned ahead she used two card to defend because she know this could happen.” said Cherilee

‘I won’t let this chance go to waste.’ “I give all effects to Solitary Knight, Gancelot.” ‘I just need to deal one more damage to her. It all come down to this attack.’

“I’m going to move Shining Lady over to the drop zone. Rock the Wall’s skill sends him to the soul after guarding.” ‘ That makes five cards in the soul.’

“I attack your vanguard with Gancelot supported by marron.” ‘ With two cards in hoof she might not have anything to guard with.’

22000 to 15000

“I guard with Rock the Wall.”

22000 to 25000

Gancelot charged then a rock pony with a emerald sticking out of his head like a horn appeared.

“Then I move him to the soul.”

‘I gave everything I could but it wasn’t enough I was so close to ending it.’

“Hey can I ask you something about Rock the Wall? Don’t cards usually go to the drop zone after guarding an attack?” asked on stallion

“Not that card It’s ability allows you to send it to the soul instead of the drop zone.” said another stallion

“Now that I think about it Scootaloo’s soul must be really be right now.” said Diamond Tiara

“I stand and draw. Listen up Apple Bloom it’s been fun so far but we need to bring this game to an end.”

‘I can’t let her do that’ “hit me with your best shot.”

“Here goes I ride I ride Invincible on top of Invincible.”

“Now that seems like a waste of a card.” said Silver Spoon

‘What was the point of that?’ Apple Bloom asked her self

“And now I soul charge using Invincible’s skill. That makes eight cards in the soul. However I haven’t flipped any cards in the damage zone on there are no abilities activated.”

‘She just wasted another card what is she up to.’

“I call the King of sword. I attack Alfred with King of Sword.”

“I’ll have to lets this on through.”

He charged and swung his sword at Alfred.

“Checking for a damage trigger.(no trigger) ‘She has two more attacks and I have two defense cards I can do this.’

“With the support of Shining Lady I attack your vanguard, go Invincible.”

15000 to 10000

“I guard that with Llew.”

He charged when Llew appeared blocking the attack.

15000 to 20000

‘Ok here comes the last one.’

“With the support of Lucky Girl I’ll attack Alfred with my vanguard.”

“I guard with Morgana, plus I intercept with Blaster Blade.”

15000 to 20000

“I check the twin drive, First card.” (no trigger)

‘She has to pull a trigger or the turn passes back to me.”

“Now the second check stand trigger. I stand King of Sword plus I add 5000 power to my vanguard

‘I guess this is the end.’

Invincible punched Morgana and Blaster Blade then punched Alfred.

“Damage trigger check, no way its a heal trigger. I raise Alfred’s power by 5000 and I recover one damage.” ‘I did it I was able to survive all of her attacks.’

“There’s something you should know Apple Bloom my vanguard’s soul has eight cards in it.”

“A soulblast.”

“My soulblast.”

“What does it do?”

“I move eight cards from my soul to my the drop zone next I pay a cost of five from the damage zone. Activating Invincible’s skill I’ll have all my units stand up once more.”

“What”

“This is his secret technique, Tornado Stand Galactica!”

“In order for Scootaloo to activate Mr. Invincible's soulblast she had to have eight cards in the soul as well as five unflipped damage. And you can only use it after his attack hits.” said Cherilee

“I see thats way she was sending all those cards to the soul.” said Silver Spoon

“Yeah you're right” agreed Diamond Tiara

“She has been preparing for this moment they enter game, exciting!” said Cherilee

‘All of her units are ready to attack.’

“This is the end Apple Bloom. Now you know the power of my Nova Grappler’s. With the support of lucky girl I’ll have Invincible attack your vanguard.”
“Theres nothing I can do to stop you”

“Twin drive first check (no trigger), second check (no trigger).”

He flew up high in to the air the flew straight towards Alfred and punched him.

“I check for a damage trigger. (no trigger) I lost the game.” ‘Spike looks like I wasn’t strong enough after all.’

“And there you have it everypony the winner Scootaloo.” announced Rarity

“Oh yeah oh yeah” said Scootaloo then noticing the look on Apple Bloom’s face.

“Apple Bloom I still haven’t learned all the rules of the game but I had alot of fun watching you play, you did great.” reassured Applejack

“Oh thanks Applejack” said Apple Bloom with a hint of disappointment in her voice.

“She’s right Apple Bloom” said Diamond Tiara

“Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon.”

“That was epice.” said Silver Spoon

“Not bad for somepony who just started.” said Diamond Tiara

“Hey Apple Bloom, you know you gotten a lot better since the last time we battled. At this rate I don’t like my chances for next time.” said Scootaloo

“We know a crazie strong player when we see one.” said Snips

“Yeah crazie strong” said Snails

“Thanks you guys.” said Apple Bloom

“Hey I thought Apple Bloom was your friend.” said Diamond Tiara

“It’s not what you think Diamond Tiara there just trying to make me feel better about losing thats all and I’m really happy I got to play in that match.” ‘It was fun but losing feels awful.’

“Scootaloo we’ll have the finals after a ten minute break so get ready.” said Rarity

“Sure thing.” said Scootaloo

“So are you ready for the finals or what?” asked Snips

“Of course I am” said Scootaloo tripping over and falling on her fell down.

“Are you ok?” asked Snips

“What happened?” Asked Snails

“Forget about it.” said Scootaloo ‘My legs are feeling all wabley all of a sudden, what’s going on.’

‘It looks like she does get nerves after all.’ thought Rarity seeing Sweetie Belle adjust the brackets and walked over to her. “Did you have fun today?”

“Not much I would not have entered the tournament if you didn’t force me too.” said Sweetie Belle

“You're not allowed to leave yet. Wait till after the final match. Ok for are final match we will be using card capitals standing fight table.”

Scootaloo and Spike took their spots and prepared for their card fight.

“Apple Bloom” whispered Applejack seeing Apple Bloom sitting at a table in the back of the shop looking depressed.

“Now then the time has finally come for the Card Capital Championship match, Spike vs Scootaloo.” announced Rarity

“I’ve been waiting for my chance at a rematch. But this time I’m….a…. I’m going to have my reform.” said Scootaloo

“She means revenge that didn’t make sense.” said Rainbow Dash

“It’s too bad I have to face you again.” said Spike

“What” growled Scootaloo

“I was hoping to play somepony worthy in the finals. But it seems I was dreaming.”

“I’ll show you.”

“Hey what are you doing here?”asked Diamond Tiara

“Are you still upset about losing?” asked Silver Spoon

“Look I’m an expert when you lose your not allowed to give up ok.”

“You're an expert?”

“On losing yeah.”

“I needed that thanks.” said Apple Bloom

“Stand Up Vanguard” said Scootaloo

“Stand Up the Vanguard” said Spike

“The main event.” said Diamond Tiara

“Come on lets go watch.” said Silver Spoon

“Sure” said Apple Bloom getting up from her chair.

“I ride Jarran and call Aermo.” said Spike

“I ride Though Boy.”

Some time past

“Releasing Brutal Jack’s Restraint. I attack you with Brutal Jack.”

“Your attack will fail I guard with Ganlu.”

“This match is great.” said Apple Bloom

Applejack smiled seeing that her sister was not depressed anymore.

“Lets see if you like my supper ride Embodiment of Victory, Aleph.”

“Nova Grapplers stand rise to the occasion Tornado Stand Galactica!”

“That’s it the move she beat me with.” said Apple Bloom

“Let’s see if you can withstand three more of my attacks.”

“Just you try me.”

“Oh yeah such be talk from a guy about to lose. With Though Boy’s support my Clay-doll Mechanic attack your Dragonic Overlord.”

A yellow mechanical pegasus flew up and hit the dragon.

“Checking the damage trigger.”(no trigger)

“Supported by Clara, Invincible attacks you next.”
“I’ll guard with Tahr.”

“Spike just stop her in her tracks.” said Apple Bloom

“There still more I’m sending in Though Boy supported by Shout.”
“I intercept with Nehalem.”

‘I use to much of my hoof not mention my rear guard trying to hold him off. My units don’t have the power to finish him.’

‘They're both playing so well Spike hardly flinched stopping those attacks. Even after Tornado Stand Galactica I haven’t seen anything like it. This match is at a holl author level.’ thought Apple Bloom

“Let’s put an end to this final turn.” said Spike

‘I can’t believe it the final fight of the tournament it all goes down to this turn.’

“Supported by Bahr I attack Invincible with my Dragonic Overlord.”

“I guard with Lucky Girl.”

“I check the twin drive, first check (no trigger) second check. I got critical trigger Dragonic Overlord gains 5000 power and I give it the plus one damage as well.”

Overlord opened his mouth a shot at Invincible burning him.

“Damage trigger check.” (Stand Trigger)

“Now you're finished”

“There you have it folks the winner is Spike.” announced Rarity everypony in the crowed cheered.

‘amazing they're both such great fighters, hopefully I can be like them one day’ thought Apple Bloom

“Wait wait the champion has been decided but thats not they only exacting news. I have a very important announcement.” announced Rarity adjust the brackets. “Are shop champion Spike and are runner up Scootaloo will be joined by are by are other semi-finalist Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. As they prepare for this.” Rarity’s horn glowed levitating a small poster. “Excuse the small poster there was a larger one. But Opel kind of destroyed it.”

“No way.” said Silver Spoon

“Wow great work Apple Bloom.” said Diamond Tiara congratulating her.

“What is it?” asked Apple Bloom

“Wow incredible Sweetie Belle you get to compete in a even bigger card tournament isn’t that great.” said Cherilee

“The National Championship our countries biggest vanguard tournament. By making to the top four you're ready to compete on the national level. But first you will have to compete it ponyville’s Regional Qualifier and if you win that you will compete in the next National Tournament. Now your team can only three players with one of you serving as an alternate. Everypony please give this four players a great big round of applause.” announced Rarity everypony in the crowed cheered.

“You did it.” said Snips and Snails

“That's awesome.” said Diamond Tiara

“You guys rock.” said Silver Spoon

“Great job Apple Bloom” said Applejack while clapping her hoofs.

“Apple Bloom can you believe this were going to the Ponyville Regional Qualifier. We are going to get a chance to play against so many great players. All right I can’t wait to get out there and show everypony in Equestria what we caught.” said Scootaloo

“What we caught.” said Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara

“I think she means what we got.” said Silver Spoon

“First we will the Ponyville Regional Qualifier, then The National Championship. Go us go. Oh yeah I’m all fired up.” said Scootaloo

‘Wait so I’ll be on the same team as Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Spike. At the vanguard championship in front of all those strangers.’ thought Apple Bloom
