Chapter 169: Zing Zang Zoom

The entire group was now on the plane taking them back to Canterlot as their time at the special training facility was now over. Everybody wanted to thanked Isaac's acquittances who let them use the place so they asked the boy who they were. But Isaac just said no as he promised to keep their name a secret. Isaac didn't say anymore as they landed back home. The trip took all about an entire school week as they arrived Friday night as the students went to their individual homes as the girls and Isaac all left for their house. Seems they were all a bit jetlagged as they all turned in for a nice long sleep.

It was now Saturday morning as most of the house was still fast asleep. The TV was currently on in the living room as both Spike and Tigre were watching the screen.

"Meow." said Tigre as she was lying on her side.

"Well, we've been through all the channels and there's nothing good on." said Spike as he was flipping through the remote with his paw.

"Meow."

"We've seen that movie five times already." said Spike. Soon a commercial came on talking about a device that was advertised as giving dogs 'spa treatments'. "Hey, now."

"Meow." reminded the cat.

"Yeah, I remember. Isaac was not pleased I used his credit card last time." said Spike as he quickly put that thought out of his mind. Soon another commercial came on as it caught the attention of the pets.

"Come one, come all. Come experience a world where we will suspend your belief. Come see amazing feats of strength, athleticism, and most of all, magic. Come see the 'Greatest Show on Earth'." said the person as they now showed off what appeared to be a circus that would be coming to perform in the park.

"Meow."

"You read my mind, pussy cat." said Spike as he and the cat left to find their owners.

"A circus?" asked Twilight as she was in her room with Spike on her bed and Tigre in her lap as she was petting the feline and purring.

"Yeah. We figured let's do something that we haven't done. Plus, don't you remember going to the circus when you were younger."

"No." said Twilight as she smiled sheepishly. "I might have been in my room studying when mom and dad took Shining."

"Right, forgot about that." said the dog. "Well, the good thing is you can still enjoy it. So just ask Isaac to buy some tickets for us."

"I'm not just gonna walk up to Isaac and ask him to buy us tickets. Besides he probably has some stuff he needs to do." said Twilight.

"Yeah, that sounds like a great idea." said Isaac as the scene now changed to Twilight standing in front of Isaac's door as the boy looked at her from behind it.

"Really?" stated the girl as she was surprised her boyfriend was for the idea.

"It's been a while since I've seen a circus. Plus, I don't have work for both school and my job. Just tell the girls about the idea and I'll invite the students, see if they want to come." said Isaac as he closed his door.

"Meow." said Tigre as she lifted her paw.

"Good work, pussy cat." said Spike as he also lifted a paw and gave his animal pal a side high-five.

---

And so it was about a hour or two later as everybody was now in the park as a giant tent was set up. Twilight asked the girls if they wanted to go to the circus to which they all agreed as they hadn't been to one since they were little. As for Isaac, he contacted the students to see if they wanted to join them to which they all agreed. Twilight made sure to grab Spike as Fluttershy grabbed Tigre as they were now in the park as Isaac had purchased the tickets for the entire group. Soon they all met up as they went inside the giant tent. They all got to their seats as Pinkie had went overboard with getting popcorn and other snacks. Soon everything turn dark as a single spotlight was shown as it shined down on a person in the center of the arena as they had a top hat and a fancy suit to which everybody could figure he was none other than the ringmaster.

"Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, children of all ages." shouted the ringmaster. "I'll be your host for tonight's extravaganza. My name is Mister Bristle and we welcome you to the 'Greatest Show on Earth'!" Everybody clapped as they were looking forward to the show. With that everything was under way as the routines began to get underway and the entire audience fell in love. Safe to say that the group was impressed with what they saw, especially Isaac's magicians as they all appeared and hovered above their master and they too were watching some of the acts.

"We thank you all for coming to see our show. We'll be here all day and please join us for tonight's performance." said the ringmaster as he and the other circus performers all bowed and left through the curtain.

"Well, now that was a show." said Rarity as she and everybody else was leaving pass the entrance.

"I'll say. Those acrobats the high flying, I wish I could do that." said Rainbow.

"I like the animals. All the cool tricks they did." said Fluttershy as she was holding Isaac's cat in her arms.

"I will say the magic acts did catch my attention." said Twilight as she was holding Spike.

"Look out!" shouted a voice.

The group all stopped in their tracks as one of the hoops used by the circus was now rolling towards the group as there was a person chasing after it.

"I got it." said Isaac as he stopped the object with his hand.

"Thanks, a bunch kid." said the person as he was one of the performers who the entire gang had seen.

"Hey, aren't you one those performers?" asked Isaac.

"So you just saw our show, huh? Names, Maverick. Appreciate you for helping me." said the man as he grabbed the hoop from the boy.

"Don't mention it."

"Say, care to bring your friends backstage. The boss won't mind some visitors, so long as you don't exploit our tricks." said the man.

"What do you guys think?" asked Isaac to the girls and the students to which they all nodded.

"Great. Follow me." said Maverick as he led the huge group to the back area.

Once they were in the back area, they saw tons of other small tents and trailers, as well as gathering places as all of the circus performers were out and about either practicing their tricks, eating, or just casually talking with one another. Maverick then began to lead the group to his boss' trailer as they passed some folks as they all waved at the group, they even passed some of the animals as they were a bit hesitant on getting near the cages. Soon they arrived as Maverick knocked on the door.

"Hey, boss. Got some guests."

"I already told you that I'll have... Oh, you're not who I was expecting." said the person in charge as there was a women standing behind him.

"Everybody, meet the one in charge and our beloved ringmaster of this circus. Mister Bristle and right behind him is his assistance, the lovely Natasha." said Maverick.

"Welcome, everybody. I hope you enjoyed our little performance that we put on." said Mister Bristle.

"It was a doozy." said Pinkie as she bounced up and down.

"I missed seeing this when I was a kid." stated Jason.

"Well, we hope you enjoy. Cause I doubt we'll be here much longer." said Mister Bristle.

"Why's that?" asked Sunset.

"Seems, we're in the danger of being put out of business by someone." said Natasha.

"Out of business?" said Bryant.

"Someone wants to get rid of us. Says he's willing to pay us whatever price we want so that we can close down out little circus. But I can't, see these folks here. This is all they have for majority of them. Maverick here was just 12 years old when he left home. He soon joined our circus when it was just starting out. Since then, we've been like family." said Mister Bristle.

"And I'm grateful for you giving me a home, boss." said the man.

"Anyways, Maverick give the group a tour and let them meet the others. I have to prepare to meet with the person this afternoon. And make sure everybody practices, cause tomorrow, we may have done our final show." said Mr. Bristle.

"Got it chief." said Maverick. "Follow me, gang." stated the man as he was starting to lead the group away.

"Excuse, Mr. Bristle. Perhaps I can help." said Isaac.

"I beg your pardon." said Natasha.

"Well, maybe I can help convince the person you're meeting to give up their pursuit and allow you guys to perform in peace." said Isaac.

"Isaac, you sure 'bout that?" asked Applejack.

"Positive."

"Well, at this point, I don't have much else to lose." said Mr. Bristle as he entered his trailer with Isaac climbing the steps.

"Isaac." said Twilight as she handed Spike over to Sunset.

"I'll join you." said Twilight to which Isaac just shrugged his shoulders. "You guys enjoy, we'll figure out this issue."

"Aright then, Twilight." said Sunset.

"Take care of Spike for me, Sunset. And Spike, remember." said Twilight as she gave a quick wink.

"Bark." was all Spike said as he knew the students were there.

So Twilight and Isaac entered the trailer with Mr. Bristle and Natasha as Maverick led the remaining students to meet the other acts. Once inside, Natasha brought a table out as it allowed all four of them to sit.

"So tell me about this circus?" asked Isaac as Twilight sat next to her boyfriend and pulled out a notepad as she wanted to record this tale.

"Well, I've been in this line of business for over 30 years. In fact, it goes back even longer than that." said Mr. Bristle. "My grandfather started this idea, he was but a simple man with a dream. And that was to give his family a proper home, so he took a job as an accountant. Though the pay was good, he felt like he could do more, see more of the world then waste his time in some office. So one day, he purchased an old building, it was nothing but former wax museum. In it's hay day, it had drawn tons of people who come to see the realistic statues. So he got to thinking, what if these statues could move. With that he began to scout for people with amazing talents, people who a unique ability to do amazing feats that only your imagination could think of. Something that only one place could have it. Eventually he got what he desired and from there he got to work on creating his little project. Of course something as grand as that doesn't come cheap so even with the savings my grandpa had it still wasn't enough so he had to borrow a loan. Naturally once he was ready to show it off to the world, they were hesitant. To the people they saw the performers as nothing but freaks, people who the world had tossed aside and made fun of. But my grandfather saw they had potential and he unlocked that potential and together they showed just how weird and unnatural things a person has, can put on a barrel of laughter and enjoyment. And so it went, they soon got big and eventually traveled the world, going from city to city, country to country, they even performed for the Queen of England. Since then it's been passed down from my grandfather to my father. In fact, my father met my mother when she came to one of his shows, it's how they fell in love. And then they had me, and when it was time, I took over the family business." said Mr. Bristle as he finished telling his tale as he had the top hat of his grandfather in his hands.

"My grandfather would be proud of the thing he's created. But he would be sad to know that his precious baby is on the verge of being no more."

"Bristle, don't think that way." said Natasha as she held her lover's hand. "We'll get through this. I know we will."

"Natasha, you've stuck by me through thick and thin. I can't imagine a day without you. Thank you." said Bristle as he kissed her hand.

"She's right. You can't give up, your grandfather wouldn't and neither should you." said Twilight. "You said so yourself, that these people here. To most of them, this is all they have. They would be heartbroken if they found out their home was being taken away."

"I promise we'll set things right." said Isaac.

"Thanks you, kids." said Mr. Bristle. Soon the door opened and in walked the person who he was scheduled to meet as Isaac looked up and recognized the person.

"You." said Isaac with an angry glare.

---

Maverick was leading the group to the center of the performing square as all the head performers of their sections met with their pal. After deciding which trick each person wanted to see, the group split up into small pacts as they went to explore. Fluttershy, Sunset, along with Shadow and Lucky Star with the two pets were all meeting with the animal trainer of the circus who was named Sylvain. The students and the pets were all watching from outside of the cage as they saw the man working with the lions and the tigers as he was getting them to do some tricks for tonight.

"Angelia! Up!" shouted Sylvain as he had a small baton in his right hand as he commanded the tiger to follow his orders as he touched it on the noise as the big cat gave a roar as it stood on its hind legs and began to jump towards the trainer as soon it stopped and then laid back down. "Good girl." said Sylvain as he gave the cat a treat.

"May! Over here!" said Sylvain as he got the lioness to hear his command and then had her run through some hoops on top of a thin board.

"Excellent." said the man as he gave the lioness a treat.

"Good job, everybody." said Fluttershy as she waved at the animals.

"Care to see them up close?" asked Sylvain.

"Uh, I want to live." said Shadow.

"And I don't taste good." said Lucky Star.

"Relax, I've trained them myself. They won't harm anybody unless I say so." said Sylvain as he opened the cage and let the kids in as Fluttershy stepped in without a care in the world with Tigre in her arms as Sunset, Spike, Lucky Star, and Shadow were a bit hesitant on being locked in with a bunch of killer animals.

"Hello everybody." said Fluttershy as she approached the big cats as they started to make their way to the shy girl as they smelled her scent. Immediately they rushed over to her side and began to lick her face as they fell in love with the buttercup girl.

"Well, they really like you." said Sylvain. Even he was impressed by how the animals just flew to the girl in an instant.

"Well, I have a fondness when it comes to animals." said Fluttershy as she gave the cats a petting.

"Meow." said Tigre.

"Roar." said Angelia and May as they looked at the small cat who was part of their animal family.

"They look like cousins." said Lucky Star as she examined Tigre next to the lion and tiger.

"So, how long have you been training these guys?" asked Shadow.

"Well, I joined the circus when I was nothing more than a zoo keeper. I've always seen animals as sort of companions." said Sylvain.

"Is there more?" asked Sunset.

"Yup." said Sylvain as he pointed to four other cats in the corner as half were lioness and the other half tigers. "Those two other tigers are Angelia's sisters, Felica and Tonya. The lioness, Paula and Sandra."

"Remember to make sure to listen to Sylvain." said Fluttershy as she gave the big cats some food as they licked her hands. "Don't be afraid, guys. Come pet them." encouraged the shy girl as the others were hesitant. They all stuck their hand out as the cats just sniffed them and soon rubbed their heads against it.

"Care to see the rest of the animals." said Sylvain as he pointed to some elephants and some horses that he would use for the other performers for their acts. The students all nodded as they put the pets down.

Spike and Tigre now found themselves between the two big cats as they looked down at the little things. Spike was bit uneasy being surrounded by larger animals that could chew him up like a squeak toy, while Tigre was comfortable with the feline members of her family. She then got an idea as she let out a meow which caused the two lead cats to look at their small cousin as she whispered something into their ear as they looked at the small pet and nodded. Soon both cats now stood in front of Spike as they let out intimidating growls.

"Uh, hey girls." said Spike as he felt even smaller looking up at the cats. Both cats just let out a growl as they looked at the small dog as he starting to be scared as he tucked his tail between his legs. Both cats showed their teeth as it got Spike to pee a bit, he then let out a yelp as he ran towards Fluttershy. "I won't ever mess with you again, pussy cat!" shouted Spike as he ran towards the girl for safety.

"Meow." said Tigre as she smiled. She then lifted her paw up as both cats gave their small cousin a fist paw for having some fun with the small mutt.

---

Pinkie, Rarity, Amber, and Jack all had decided to go with a man named Mr. Gravity as he was the head clown and wanted to introduce him to his troupe of clowns. Which were a lot.

"Hey, guys. Look sharp, we've got some guests." said Mr. Gravity as he told his gang.

"Guests, you say." said another clown as he threw a pie which hit Pinkie in the face.

"Hmm. Chocolate." said the pink girl as she used her tongue and cleaned all of her face and munched the treat.

"Oh, missed a spot." said another clown as it was female and this time hit Amber in the face.

"Watch my outfit." said Rarity as a few splats hit her dress.

"Guys lighten up, we have guests." laughed Mr. Gravity.

"Fine." said both individuals.

"Well, that seems to be over. I was wrong." immediately said Jack as he slipped on a banana peel and was now flying forward as the clowns pulled up a pool of water as the boy fell in. He then emerged as a fish was caught in his mouth and wiggling when he pulled it out and it was a fake as it squirted some mashed fruit on his face.

"Don't they say, never go swimming after you eat." joked Mr. Gravity.

"I love this place!" said Pinkie.

"Sorry, couldn't help ourselves." said Mr. Gravity. "Alright everybody line up!" shouted the man as all the clowns gathered around which were alot. "As you can see, we've got a lot of members of our troupes. In fact, these two help me keep them in check. Meet Bubbles and Calliope."

"Pleasure to make your acquittance." said Rarity as she and Amber extended their hands to shake only for them get joy buzzed as they pulled back.

"Classic gag." said Pinkie as she helped Jack dry off.

"Couldn't resist." said Bubbles as he laughed.

"Childish." said Amber.

"So, what do you guys do? Besides make fun of us." said Jack.

"What do you think? Have fun." said Calliope. "Love the scars, kid." said the woman as she admired Jack's burns.

"So what's your story?" asked Amber.

"I was abandoned by my family when I was two years old." said Bubbles. "All I remember is them dumping me by the side of the road as I cried. Soon along came a person as it was none other than Mr. Bristle's father and so he took me in and gave me a home. He was like a father figure of sorts; so I did my best to entertain the folks as a way to give back to him for giving me a chance."

"Me, divorced from an abusive relationship." said Calliope. "My husband was such a control freak that he didn't allow me to even look at another man as he felt like I would cheat on him. So you best believe I took the first chance I saw to get out of that relationship and take a bit of his money while doing so. The first thing I did with the money I won was seeing the circus in town, Mr. Bristle was just a young man learning from his father who was still in charge as we got to talking and soon he offered me a chance to make other people laugh to not only heal my wounds of my relationship but also of others."

"And you?" asked Jack.

"Well, I came from a different country." stated Mr. Gravity. "I wanted make some money to help my family back home. My mother encouraged me and bought one ticket to come here, so she gave it to me as she believed I had the best chance of turning my life around and making a living. So I took the chance given to me by my mother and soon I was on a boat and found myself here. I did my best job hopping trying to find the one that would suit me, but nothing stuck. Until one day I snuck backstage during a dress rehearsal as Mr. Bristle's grandfather was going over demonstrating the acts for his group; I was amazed by what I saw that I knocked over some boxes as I exposed myself. I was afraid on getting caught, but Mr. Bristle's grandfather welcomed me with open arms as we talked and he understood my situation. From there, he allowed me to help my family by performing in front of thousands; I made enough money to send back to my mother as she was ecstatic and she was able to move in to better living conditions and has since then been doing fine."

"Wow." said Rarity. "You all have interesting backstories."

"We do the best we can. We all stick together." said Bubbles.

"Why don't we show them how we do some of our acts?" said Mr. Gravity as all the other members agreed. Soon a tiny car pulled up as every single one of them all got in and fit as it cause the group to have their jaws drop, well Pinkie still smiled. Soon it drove around for a bit as a few exited out with some objects in their hands and then began to juggle them for the small group. Soon some more emerged from the car as they began to do a few flips on the ground, others did some chorography moves while others waved around a flag. Majority if them grabbed pieces of metal and together they combined to created a boat float as they moved as it seem like the float was moving on its own. There was even a couple of throwing knives; the group all sat down as they clapped and applauded the troupe.

---

Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Bryant, Penny, and Jason all left with Maverick as he was leading them to the acrobats where they were doing some flips. Some were above on the trapeze as there was a women walking the tightrope. Maverick then led the group to the middle of the area as he gathered the leaders of each section.

"Everyone meet the leaders of the squads. Antonio, who's family has been doing trapeze and gymnastics for 3 generations. Cinnamon Moon, who's are renowned tightrope walker along with her sister, Petunia who's performs on the Chinese Pole and twirls on the silk curtain. Dimitri who has does stunts with his group and is our star performed for the Wheel of Death. As for me, I'm in charge of things like plate spinning, Chinese yo-yo, hooping, and other things." said Maverick as he introduced the group to the many acts.

"Hey, there." said Dimitri as he shook Aj's hand. "Well, now. Strong grip for a girl."

"Years of working in the farm." said Applejack as she flexed her arm muscles a bit.

"Reminds me of when I was younger in my home country. My father pushed me to lift wagons with a harness to deliver the vegetables and fruits that was grown on our farm." said Dimitri.

"So you two do the high flying stuff?" asked Penny.

"Yup, taking risk above the circus top." said Cinnamon.

"Also getting shot out of a cannon." added Petunia as she appeared next to her sister.

"Does it ever get scarying?" stated Penny.

"Well, we you've been doing gymnastics for about nearly your whole life, it becomes second nature." said Cinnamon.

"It takes a lot of courage and movement to be able to move from swing to swing and executing the moves." said Petunia.

"Do you really do flips?" asked Jason.

"So how extreme do you guys get?" asked Rainbow.

"Me and family do just about everything your imagination can come up with." said Antonio. "Watch."

He then approached one of the Russian Swings that they were practicing on as they began to show off their acrobatic and diving skills as they swung back and forth like a pendulum as they did some somersaults and front flips in the air as they landed perfectly on their feet on the other Russian Swing as it swung and made contact. Some of Antonio's family were also experts on contortion as they showed off their flexibility and walked on their hands while their legs curved above them. They even shook hands with the group with their feet. All in all, the entire gang was enjoying their time at the circus as they got to see many cools tricks and rehearsals that the performers did as it allowed them to appreciate the real show even more. Soon everybody had all gotten back in the center with their individual leaders as they began to talk about the different acts. Eventually all eyes turned to Twilight who called out to the group.

"What's wrong Ms. Twilight?" asked Lucky Star.

"Isaac is about to duel." said the lavender girl.

---

Twilight then lead almost all of the circus members, students, and the girl to Mr. Bristle's trailer as Isaac had his duel disk all ready to go. The entire lot all surrounded the boy and his opponents as they prepared for a fight. The gang arrived and were surprised to see that Isaac's opponent was Filthy Rich and one of his lawyers.

"What's Filthy Rich doing here?" asked Sunset.

"He's the one who wants to shut down this circus and put these folks out of a home." stated Twilight.

"What?" asked Bryant.

"Apparently, Mr. Bristle's grandfather borrowed some money from Filthy Rich's great-grandfather and he believes they owe him. Though Mr. Bristle's grandfather paid back the loan in full, Filthy Rich believes they own 'interest'. So he tried to get Bristle to either give the money his family owes or risk putting everybody out of a job and home. So as you can tell, Isaac took matters into his own hands and is doing like only he knows how. He challenged Filthy Rich to a duel, he wins, Mr. Bristle is debt free and they keep their home. But if Isaac loses, then tonight will be there last show." stated Twilight as she told the stakes.

"Last chance, Isaac. Let the businessmen do their thing." said Filthy Rich.

"Well, I'm also a businessman in my own right. Besides fighting with lawyers is such a hassle, if anything they don't solve problems they make 'em. Now a duel can solve anything." said Isaac.

"Have it your way, but since you threw the challenge allow me to fire back with my own. This duel, it won't be just me. You'll be facing my lawyer as well. So you have to beat both of us in two duels. Plus, since I'm in a hurry, we'll duel with 4000 life points." stated Filthy.

"That's wasn't part of the deal." said Mr. Bristle.

"Plans change all the time in business." smiled Rich smugly. "So do you accept or not?" asked the man.

"Deal, on one condition. Why don't I let somebody else take on your lawyer and I'll take you on at the same time in a separate duel." said Isaac. "If you're so confident in your lawyer on winning, then he should have no problem besting who I pick."

"I never agreed to that proposal." said Filthy.

"Plans change all the time in business." said Isaac as he used Rich's own line against him. "So, moneybags? Do you agree?"

"My lawyer will beat whoever you pick." said Rich.

"In that case..." Isaac was now looking at the group as he was figuring out which person to pick. "Penny, come on out."

"Me?" said the teen girl. "Uh, okay." She then emerged from the group as she took her position next to her teach.

"A girl? This will be easy. Now then enough wasting time, let's do this." said Filthy Rich as he and his lawyer projected their card trays as Isaac projected his gold card tray while Penny had a black light.

"So both duels are going to happen at the same time?" asked Jason.

"This I gotta see." stated Jack.

"Opponent detected. Streaming data. Duel mode set. Initiating. Commencing duel." said their duel disks.

Filthy Rich's Life Points: 4000-

Isaac's Life Points: 4000-

Turn 1: Filthy Rich

"I still haven't forgotten how you embarrassed me last time at Camp Everfree, Isaac. And I will make you pay for making me lose thousands in property and stocks that I had invested." said Filthy Rich as he drew his card. "I now play the spell card, Upstart Goblin. So I give you 1000 more life points so that I can draw one card."
Isaac's Life Points: 5000-

"Huh? Why's he giving Isaac extra points?" asked Shadow.

"Because I happen to be a very nice guy." snickered Filthy Rich. "Now since you have more life points than me, I can special summon my Nefarious Trader(0/0)! Next, I'll bring out Toichi the Nefarious Debt Collector(800/1300) in defense mode!" said Filthy Rich as he managed to summon two monsters on his first turn.

"And then I'll place one card facedown to end my turn." said Filthy Rich. "Now, then, how about repaying those life points I loaned you?"

"Not a chance, bloodsucker!" said Isaac.

Turn 2: Isaac

"My turn!" said the boy as he drew his card. "I'll summon my tuner monster, Enchantress of Melody(900/1800)!" Isaac now had his other magician appear as she had her small lyra in her hand." said Isaac as he now had a female teen spellcaster on his field.

"So you're really not going to pay those life points, eh? Fine, but you asked for it!" stated Filthy Rich. "I activate the trap Endless Loan! This makes it so that when you summon a monster... I can summon a Loan Token(0/0) to your field in defense mode!"

"What the hell is that thing?" asked Rainbow.

"Since you refused to pay me back the life points I lent you, I've decided to take them back! Actually my Debt Collector Toichi will be the one doing the taking. And for every Loan Token he takes off your field, Toichi deals you 1000 points of damage. Also so long as you have a Loan Token out on the field, my Debt Collector can't be destroyed in battle. Of course, you can destroy a Loan Token yourself, but it'll cost you a card from your hand!" stated Rich.

"So basically, the only way Isaac wins is by getting rid of his cards?" said Bryant.

"Sure seems that way, partner."

"Now, I play the spell card, Shield and Sword so that I can switch the stats of all monsters on the field till the end of the turn. Melody attack that Nefarious Trader!" shouted the boy as his monster took out her target.
Filthy Rich's Life Points: 2200-

"When Nefarious Trader is destroyed in battle, another Loan token is summoned onto your field!" stated Rich.

"Now he's got two tokens." said Rarity.

"And if big bro summons any monsters, he'll only get more of them." said Pinkie.

"I now end my turn with three facedowns."

Turn 3: Filthy Rich

"Fine-- refuse to pay a card. Instead I'm just going to make you pay the price." said Filthy Rich as he drew his card. "I equip the spell Illegal Business Practices onto Toichi the Nefarious Debt Collector! This doubles all effect damages!"

"Wait, with two tokens out, that damage Isaac's gonna take will be... a lot!" shouted Rainbow.

"Time to collect out debt, Toichi!" said Filthy Rich as he activated his monsters effect as Isaac felt the effect as two more tokens piled on the ones Isaac had on his field as he dropped to one knee.
Isaac's Life Points: 1000-

"Just face it, Isaac. If you want to save the last of your life points... you'll do as I say."

"No way! I'm not going to play by your rules!" shouted the boy.

Turn 4: Isaac

"It's my move! And first, I play the spell card, Ancient Rule so now I can special summon one Level 5 or higher normal monster from my hand. So I summon my Dark Magician!" Isaac's star monster was now on the field as he appeared before his master.

"Ah, that was an excellent move, Isaac, excellent for me, that is!" snickered Filthy Rich. "Because now Endless Loan activates which means another Loan Token will appear on your side of the field." Now Isaac had a total of three tokens as it took the last spot of his field. "Now you're done, cause come next turn, Toichi will take out the rest of your life points. You all better start calling the unemployment line."

"Not just yet." smiled Isaac.

"Huh? The duel is over, next turn you lose." said Filthy.

"There is no next turn. Cause I'm ending this duel. I now activate my Enchantress of Melody's effect, so now I roll a die and I can either increase or decrease a monster's level by that number. Dice Roll!" shouted Isaac as he tossed a die up high into the sky as soon it came down and landed on a one. "So now I'll lower my Melody's Level from 3 to 2. Then I tune my Enchantress of Melody with my Dark Magician, and when using Dark Magician as synchro material he counts as Level 6 instead of 7." Enchantress of Melody then turned into two giant green rings that circled Mahad as he was in between them. "I Synchro Summon, Dark Sorcerer Magician(2500/2100)!" Isaac now had his synchro monster out on the field as it twirled its staff before taking its position.

"What good does that do you?" asked Filthy Rich.

"Watch, I now reveal one of my facedowns, Zero Hole! With this card, if I have no cards in my hand, then all cards on the field are destroyed."

"Say what?! All of the cards?!" shouted Filthy Rich as soon the entire field was now covered in a huge hole as the entire field was destroyed and now a single thing was left on either player's side.

"Now one of my facedown, was Magicians' Defense. So when this card is sent from the field to the graveyard, I can special summon one spellcaster from my graveyard to the field. So return, Dark Magician!" shouted Isaac as he now had his loyal servant on the field once again. "Like I said, this duel... is over. Mahad, finish this with Dark Magic Attack!" shouted the boy as his magician raised his hand and unleashed his attack and took out Filthy Rich as he fell onto his back.
Filthy Rich's Life Points: 0-

Winner: Isaac

"Hey, Penny hurry up." called out Isaac to the student as she was still having her duel and was struggling a bit.

---

"Opponent detected. Streaming data. Duel mode set. Initiating. Commencing duel." said their duel disks.

Filthy Rich Lawyer's Life Points: 4000-

Penny's Life Points: 4000-

Turn 1: Filthy Rich's Lawyer

"I draw! I summon Maternal Junk(300/1500) in defense mode!" Out emerged a robot as it was made up of junk parts as it had a skirt and a spatula for its hand. "I then lay a card facedown."

Turn 2: Penny

Out of all the things, that I duel. I never imagined that I would duel against a lawyer in my life. "I draw!" stated Penny as she picked up her card. "I summon Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor(800/0)! And since birds of feather flock together, I can summon another 'Blackwing' from my hand to join Vayu on the field. Say hello to Bora the Spear(1700/800)!" Penny now had two monsters on her field as she hoped to land the first blow. "When Bora attacks a monster in defense mode, and it's rocking more attack points than your monster's defense points... it slams you with the difference! Duck and cover, you tight wad! Cause Bora's attaching with Spiraling Spear!" shouted the girl as she commanded her monster to attack.

"I activate a trap-- Scrap-Iron Scarecrow! So now it allows me to block your attack." said the lawyer as he managed to stop Penny's assault. "After Scrap-Iron Scarecrow scraps your monster's attack, I can once again place it facedown on my field!"

"I'll end my turn."

Turn 3: Filthy Rich's Lawyer

"It's my turn. I summon Paternal Junk(1600/1200) in attack mode!" Out emerged another robot as it too was made up of scrap junk parts as it had a suit and tie like a father. "And when Maternal Junk is on my field... Paternal Junk gains an additional 500 attack points! And now from my hand, I activate the Junk Factory Field spell!"

"What is this?" asked Penny as the entire field around her began to morph.

"Now the effect of Junk Factory gives all 'Junk'' monsters on the field an extra 500 attack points. Now I attack with Paternal Junk!" said the lawyer as he directed his monster to attack Penny's Vayu as it was destroyed.
Penny's Life Points: 2200-

"Never thought I say this, but seems lawyers are good for something. Cause since you destroyed my monster, I can now use Blackwing Vayu the Emblem of Honor to synchro summon from my graveyard. So my comeback starts now." said Penny.

"Not here you won't."

"Huh?"

"See in the Junk factory, when one of my 'Junk' monsters destroys one of your monsters... I can snag it from your graveyard and shuffle it back into your deck." stated the lawyer. Penny's duel disk then ejected her card as she placed it on top of her deck as the autoshuffler kick in.

"I place three cards facedown and end my turn!"

"Hey, Penny hurry up." called out Isaac as he finished his duel already and disposed of Filthy Rich.

"I'm trying, teach." said the girl as she addressed her professor as she was struggling a bit.

Turn 4: Penny

"I draw!" said Penny as she looked at her card and began to think of her plan. "I activate the Black Winged Strafe spell card, which wipes out one of your monsters in defense mode by sending a 'Blackwing' from my hand to the graveyard! Let's say goodbye to my Shura the Blue Flame... and then say goodbye to your Maternal Junk!"

"Not so fast. I reveal Scarp-Iron Barricade!" said the lawyer as one of his facedowns flipped up and protect his monster. "During this turn, you can't destroy the monster protected by this barricade with card effects! And just like Scrap-Iron Scarecrow-- after being activated, Scrap-Iron Barricade can return to its facedown position on the field.

"Pretty good, you snake! But let's see how you handle Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North(1300/0)." said Penny as she summoned her tiny bird as it perched on her shoulder. "When Blizzard the Far North is successfully summoned, I can then special summon one Level 4-or-below Blackwing from my graveyard to come and join him on the field." Blizzard the Far North then landed on Penny's duel disk as he began to peck at her graveyard slot as he eventually pulled out his comrade's card to which he then landed back on his mistress' shoulder as he gave it to her.

"Thanks little bud." said Penny as she petted and ruffled the feathers of her monster as it chose to remain on her shoulder. "Now I bring back my Blackwing Shura the Blue Flame(1800/1200) in defense mode!"

"Then I'll just activate another trap! Scarp-Iron Pitfall!"

"Huh? You gotta be kidding me!" shouted Penny as she was getting a bit annoyed.

"Yeesh, those cards are troublesome." said Bryant as he saw his fellow student having a hard time.

"When you use a special summoning to bring a monster to the field, it falls right into my Scrap-Iron Pitfall, and returns to your hand." stated the lawyer.

"Aw, man!" said Penny as her card now appeared back in her hand.

"And now just like my other traps-- this card returns to its facedown position."

"So is there no way for Penny to get through?!" stated Shadow.

"From my hand, I activate the Cards for Black Feathers spell. Which gives me the power to draw 2 new cards from my deck in exchange for sending a 'Blackwing' from my hand to the graveyard. So by shipping off my Shura the Blue Flame, I can draw!" said the girl as she picked up some more cards hoping for something. She looked at her cards as she had a smile. This could work. "When there's another 'Blackwing' on my field, I can summon Gale the Whirlwind(1300/400) from my hand in attack mode! Now I activate Whirlwind's special ability! This Blackwing can halve one of your monster's attack and defense points!" Gale the Whirlwind then flapped its feathers as a giant wind blew over to Paternal Junk as it stats dropped.

"With that done, Bora the Spear can attack Paternal Junk!" shouted Penny.

"I activate my trap! Scrap-Iron Scarecrow!"

"I was afraid you'd do that." said Penny in a nonchalant tone.

"You're never getting to my monsters, little girl." said the lawyer as his trap stopped her attack and then flipped back facedown.

"Heh! Never say 'never'. Gale the Whirlwind, recycle that Paternal Junk!" shouted Penny as she had her second monster to strike.

"Why is Penny doing that, both monsters have the same attack points?" asked Rarity.

"Before attacking, I'm activating the Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow's special ability from my hand! By sending this card to the graveyard, I can increase Gale the Whirlwind's attack points by 1400." stated the girl as her monster was now stronger. "Gale the Whirlwind attack!" shouted Penny as her monster took out Paternal Junk.
Filthy Rich Lawyer's Life Points: 2600-

"I now activate my trap card!"

"What? You got another one?" said Penny as she thought she had seen all of her opponent's facedowns.

"With the trap, Junk Spirit in play-- when a 'Junk' monster is destroyed in battle and sent to my graveyard... I can re-summon that monster during the end phase!"

"No way!!" shouted the girl. "I place one card facedown and end my turn."

"And now Paternal Junk returns to the field! And once again, because of Maternal Junk and Paternal Junk's special abilities, Paternal Junk gains a thousand attack points!

"Aw, great... so we're back to where we were."

Turn 5: Filthy Rich's Lawyer

"I draw! I activate the Junk Barrage spell card. And I equip it onto Paternal Junk! And with that boost... now, Paternal Junk, attack Blackwing Gale the Whirlwind!" shouted the lawyer as his monster took out Penny's blackwing as she felt the aftereffects from the attack.
Penny's Life Points: 900-

"Now the other effect of my Junk Barrage activates, so you take half the attack points of the monster that was destroyed." said the lawyer as Penny lost some more points and fell to one knee.
Penny's Life Points: 250-

"I'm activating the Black Thunder trap card! When a 'Blackwing' on my field is destroyed in battle-- Black Thunder crashes down on you for 400 points of damage-- for every card on your field! And since you've got 7 cards on your field, well... you do the math." smiled Penny.
Filthy Rich Lawyer's Life Points: 0-

Winner: Penny

Penny was declared the winner as she managed to beat her opponent as the lawyer was thrown onto his back as Filthy Rich was starting to coming to as he saw what occurred. The bag his lawyer was caring had now gone flying as it landed in front of Penny as she bent down and opened it as inside were some papers and a huge contract. She them smiled as she tossed it over to Isaac who was now holding said papers. He then ripped up the contracts as he looked at the billionaire.

"Keep your little circus." said Filthy Rich as he picked up his lawyer while glaring at Isaac and his student. "I will make sure you pay, Isaac." With that both Filthy Rich and his lawyer now started to leave the premises as they wanted to get far as possible from this sideshow of freaks.

"He's gone." said Isaac as he had the ball of torn up contracts in his hand as he addressed Mr. Bristle. "And now nobody has to worry about losing their home."

"Thank you, Isaac. I knew it was smart to count on you." said Mr. Bristle as he shook the boy's hand. "Cause of you and your friends, we now can continue to perform to our heart's content." said the man as around them the performers were cheering and making noises at Isaac freeing them from under Filthy Rich's influence. "Now then, let's get ready for tonight's show." stated the ringmaster as the others heard their boss and prepared themselves for showtime.

"Well, teach. Everything turned out well." stated Penny.

"If there's anything I can do to repay you, just name it." asked Mr. Bristle.

"Anything, huh?" said Isaac as he looked around and saw the performers performing and interacting with his friends as he got an idea. "I think I might have something." Isaac then whispered his request to Mr. Bristle and Natasha as both just smiled and nodded as they began to work and fulfill the boy's request.

Soon it was showtime as night was starting to fall.

---

The night had fallen on the town of Canterlot as thousands of people were filing into the big tent as they were looking forward to a wonderful show. Backstage, everybody was going over their routines one final time as they prepared to go out and wow the crowd.

"Packed house." said Spike as he and Twilight peaked through the curtain.

"Almost time for curtain." said the girl as she and the dog pulled back. "Places, everybody we're about to start." said Twilight as she passed by Mr. Bristle as he was talking with Isaac.

"Ready, to entertain, Isaac?" asked Mr. Bristle.

"A little nervous, not gonna lie. What about you guys?" asked Isaac as he turned to look at the students and the girls as they too nodded a bit.

"Wait, darling!" called out Rarity as she emerged from the wardrobe trailer with Amber by her side as they were busying making outfits for the performers.

"You're gonna need this, professor." said Amber as she handed Isaac a top hat.

"Thanks, Amber. You too, Rarity." said the boy as he showed his gratitude to his friends. He then took a deep breath as he stood in front of the main curtain as he put on the top hat and he stepped through with Mister Bristle.

The audience was in their seats talking and conversing with each other when the lights went off and soon a single spotlight was shown. Standing in the spotlight was Mister Bristle as the audience knew who he was and immediately gave him a standing applause.

"Welcome, one and all! You know me as your beloved ringmaster of this fine circus, Mr. Bristle." said the man as the crowd cheered. "Before we get started, I want to say from the bottom of my heart, this circus has been in my family for generations and recently I thought all of that would come to end. But thanks to a certain someone, he's now rid us of greedy money bag and now we are free to perform as much we like!" Mr. Bristle was starting to get more responses from the crowd. "And to everybody in the back, you're all very talented and I'm proud to call you a part of my family. So let's get on with the show, but I'm gonna need some help from my friend. So please give a warm welcome to my co-ringmaster for this evening... Isaac!!!" said Mr. Bristle as he pointed to a platform that was rising out of the ground as there was Isaac standing in a ringmaster outfit as he had a cane with him as he had the top hat on his head and a mic in his ear. Mister Bristle then got on the platform next to Isaac as he gave the signal for the boy to lead.

"Welcome, ladies and gentleman, children of all ages. Tonight we hope to dazzle your expectations and blow away your mind!" said Isaac as his voice was projected for all to hear. "We will do amazing feats like never before, we push past our limits to bring entertainment to your hearts, and we will put smiles on your faces. So please welcome to 'The Greatest Show on Earth'!!!! Zing Zang Zoooooommmmm!!!!" shouted Isaac as he stomped his foot and a cannon shot out towards a box as the sides fell apart with a few women emerging as smoke as they had capes and began to do a bit of choreography. Isaac and Mister Bristle began were walking towards the smoke as they both grabbed a huge cloak as they placed it on the ground and then lifted it up as out emerged Natasha and Twilight dressed in their circus outfits. For the audience they believed they appeared out of nowhere, but really they were on a platform that rose up while the boys covered it with the cloak. Natasha then wrapped her arm around Mister Bristle while Twilight wrapped her arm around her boyfriend.

"The lovely, Natasha and Twilight Sparkle!" announced Mister Bristle. "Natasha is here to lift your spirits. Come on, honey. show them what you can do." said Mr. Bristle as a cable was dropped down as an acrobat attached a silk cloth to it as Natasha was now grabbing on it and began to do a couple of spins and maneuvers all the while some music began to play as there was singing occurring.

There's something in the air alright,
You can feel it, you can hear it.
Feels like something magically,
it's the sound of circus spirits.

Feel's like flying, soaring skyward where magically we've never flown,
But it's more than magic, it's the circus.
The most magical plaaaaace!!!

Twilight and Isaac were now on a float as they climbed the stairs on the back of it and were now moving on it around the area as Twilight took the lead of singing while Isaac was getting the crowd into the song as he encouraged the crowd to sing along. Natasha was still twirling in the as soon she came back down and grabbed Mister Bristle as they started to walk towards another float as when Twilight started the chorus of the song, Isaac pointed to the entrance as that served as the signal for all to come out as all the performers now ran through the curtain as the crowd showered them with applause and cheers.

Zing Zang Zoooom!!!

Zing to the Zang Zoom, Zing to the Zang Zoom!

Isaac along with everybody else was also singing the chorus as Twilight kept on showcasing why she was the lead vocalist and singer of the Rainbooms. The clown troupe was being lead by Mr. Gravity, along with Calliope, and even Pinkie as they decided to let her in on the act. Pinkie had some pins with her as she began to juggle next to them as well as Jack who was forced into the act with Pinkie but the puffy haired girl had him juggling knives which was something extreme that he did not agree to.

"Why did I let Pinkie talk me into this?" said Jack as he was doing a decent job of juggling the knives while also making sure to not let anything unfortunate happen, but he was still scared for his life.

Antonio and his family all began to do a few somersaults and flips. Some of them began to ride in on some scooters and skateboards as they drove off of some ramps and did a few tricks in the air. Among those was Rainbow Dash as they allowed the chromatic girl to take part in their routine as she started to show off as she rode up the ramp and stood on her hand as she began to show off her skills as the crowd was into it as Antonio and his family too were pleased by the girl's actions. Riding in a small clown car, was Bubbles as he had Bryant, Penny, and Jason all standing in the backseats as they waved flags to the crowd as they gave them some applause. Fluttershy came out but she was riding on some elephants as they were all connected by grabbing the tail in front of them as they were marching around the arena; the buttercup girl was waving to the crowd. Next to the elephants were a few horses as they too rode along the massive animals as Sylvain was riding on the front with Shadow trying to stay on his horse as he had never ridden one before.

Spike was on the saddle of one of them as he waved, while Tigre appeared next to him riding on the back of Angelia the lioness as she let out a meow followed by a growl by the big cat as Spike held on as his ride trotted faster and away from the big feline. Maverick was on the floor with Lucky Star and Sunset as all three of them were doing some tricks he taught her on the Chinese yo-yo as they managed to grab the audience's attention. Up above, Petunia and Cinnamon Moon were doing a few trapeze moves as they flipped from one bar to the other as it got the crowd to gasp as they never seen flips done so high up. Dimitri was with Applejack as the country girl picked the man up and he was spinning some plates on his fingertips. All of this was a spectacle as the song and music still kept going.

Mr. Bristle and Natasha's float then stopped in the middle of the arena as they were next to the float that Twilight and Isaac were on as Twilight was starting to finish the song as she held out the last note and they all posed as the song ended with everybody striking a pose. The crowd cheered as they showed their appreciation; Isaac grabbed Twilight by the waist and dipped her as he gave her a kiss. He then winked as he slid down the steps as all the other performers were starting to make their way back.

"And now, everybody time for some magic." said Isaac as he approached a small trolley.

"What's Isaac doing? This wasn't part of rehearsal." said Sunset from behind the curtain as she and the girls, students, and all the performers were watching the boy as he addressed the audience.

Twilight was nervous as she had no idea on what the boy was doing, while Mister Bristle and Natasha just let Isaac do his thing.

"Now then, Fluttershy bring me Kesha the Elephant." said Isaac as Fluttershy came out as she walked beside the massive animal as she stroked her trunk before getting her to step on the trolley as she went back through the curtain to see what her friend was going to do.

"Now time to make this pachyderm disappear." said Isaac. "A simple white sheet, with nothing on it." said Isaac as he covered the entire trolley with the white sheet as the only thing it showed was the outline of Kesha the Elephant." Some of the dancers still out on the floor were also intrigued with what Isaac was going to do since he wasn't using their methods on making things disappear. "Everybody on this side, I need you to say: Zing!" said Isaac as he pointed to the left side of the audience.

"ZING!!" shouted the crowd.

"And on this side, I need to hear a: Zang." said Isaac as he pointed to the right side.

"ZANG!!" shouted the right side.

"And down in the middle, give me a: Zoom." stated the boy.

"ZOOM!" responded the audience.

"That's it. Let's do it!" said Isaac as he now looked at the trolley as the elephant was still there as it let out a trumpet sound. "Zing Zang Zoom. Zing Zang Zoom. Zing Zang Zoom!" shouted Isaac as he then approached the trolley and tore down the piece of cloth and standing inside of the trolley was nothing as Kesha the Elephant had disappeared.

Everybody in the audience had their mouths drop, even Mr. Bristle and his entire circus troupe were shocked on what Isaac just did as he made an elephant vanish into thin air without using any misdirection. It was like it was magic. Isaac just smiled as he took a bow as the audience gave him a round of applause.

"They seemed to have enjoyed it. Thanks, guys." said Isaac as the spirits of all of his magicians in his deck appeared as they had helped their master to perform the trick with ease as they really made the elephant disappear. "It's magic!!!" shouted Isaac as the crowd got louder. Isaac then nodded at Twilight as she knew her cue as he music started up on last time as everybody was now heading back through the curtain as the opening was reaching its end.

Zing Zang Zoooom!!!

Zing to the Zang Zoom, Zing to the Zang Zoom!

There's magic here for alllllllll!

GO! GO! GO!

Zing Zang Zoooom!

Zing to the Zang Zoom, Zing to the Zang Zoom!

We make your heart go through hooops!

GO! GO! GO!

The highest jumps! There's always more,
amazing things you've never seen before.
The wiz of magical, real unbelievable, spinning, spinning around the room.
Zinnnnng!
Zaaaaaaaang!
Zoooooooooooooom!!!

With that Isaac, Twilight along with Mr. Bristle and Natasha all were the last ones to exit through the curtain as the crowd applauded and they were now fired up to see the show. The four stepped through the crowd as the entire cast all applauded as well, they even gave props to Isaac for pulling off a trick and make it so convincing. They asked him how he did it, but he kept quiet. Everybody now got ready for the order of their tricks as some went to Rarity and Amber for wardrobe change.

---

"Now them let's get to it!" shouted Mr. Bristle and Isaac as they ran back out through the curtain to the center of the floor as a spotlight shined on them.

"We must remind what you're about to see is performed by trained professionals. So please whatever you do, do not try this at home!" said Mr. Bristle as he whistled and a train sound was heard.

Soon Bubbles was leading some of his clowns to the floor as they were riding some clown cars as Pinkie and Bryant were in the backseat of one of them as they started to spray some of the audience with some super soakers as a giant mechanical device was being brought out as it was being pulled by a train model. Some of the clowns jumped on some small platforms as they began to do some choreography.

"A word of caution to the children!" shouted Natasha as she appeared next to Mr. Bristle. "Do not try this at home!"

Soon the device was in the center of the room as some music was playing for everybody to get in the groove.

"Meet the Stretcher!" shouted Isaac as he pointed to the device as it opened up and had enough room to fit a person. And on the other side was a small wheel. "Now all it needs is a volunteer. Hmm..." Isaac was now looking around the room while stomping his foot to the music as he made his choice.

"How about.... you!" said Isaac as he pointed to Jason who was in one of the clown cars.

"What!" shouted the boy as Isaac immediately grabbed him and put him into the device as he shut the door. Jason's head poked out of the hole in the top as he had a bit of a scared look on his face.

Stretch him up, stretch him up, wayyy up.
Turn that crank and see how he grows.
Looks like somebody needs some new clothes.

Sang Twilight as she and Natasha did a bit of a synchronized dance.

Isaac then looked at Jason as he was shaking his head fast. Isaac just ignored him as he started to spin the device really fast as he ran around it and watched it spin. He then stopped it as Jason's arms that were sticking out now starting to fall down as he let out a shocked surprise to which Isaac lifted them back up into place as he kept on with the act. He then approached the wheel in the back of Jason.

"Zing Zang Zoom!" shouted Isaac as he said the magic words. He then turned the wheel to the left as Jason now felt himself being stretched as his body grew as his arms that were sticking out from the device were still as his normal height, but his upper body was stretched.

"What the hell!" said Jason as he couldn't believe what he witness and how Isaac did it.

Isaac just looked at the audience with a bow as they cheered the boy on his trick. He then looked to his side as he winked at his Black Arts Trickster as he thanked her for helping him to complete the trick. She just smiled and planted a kiss to her master as Isaac then began to keep the show rolling as nodded at Mister Bristle to keep on with the next act. The music kept playing as the clowns all started to race back through the curtain as they grabbed the device Jason was still in as they wheeled him into the back. Calliope then brought out another giant device as this time, Isaac grabbed Bryant as he put him into the device as his head, arms, and legs were sticking out. Natasha then brought out a saw of sorts as she gave it to Isaac as he grabbed one end and Mr. Bristle grabbed the other. The two then began to slice and dice at the outer layer that Bryant was in as soon it made contact with the back board and pulled the saw out as Mr. Bristle handed it back to Natasha.

Slice baby, dice baby.
Cut him in half.
Or maybe two-thirds, you do the math.

Sang Twilight along with the music.

"Miss Twilight?!" shouted Bryant as he was worried and flayed his arms about.

"Okay, this is one is a bit of a challenge." said Isaac as he addressed the audience. "And I'm gonna need some back up from you all!" stated the boy as he pointed to the audience. "Just cast the magic spell with me. Say: Zing, Zang Zoom!!!" shouted Isaac as he grabbed the part that had Bryant's lower body and then pulled it out as the boy was cut cleaning in half without any blood or fluids. It was like cutting through butter, it was that smooth as his lower body parts still responded to the boy as his legs were still kicking despite not being connected to his other half. Isaac then rolled the part that had Bryant's bottom half to Penny as she began to spin the wheel.

Spin that wheel see where it lands.
Look his feet can clap his hands.

Sang Twilight as Bryant's feet did make the boy clap his hands as they had a mind of his own.

Isaac then had Penny stop the spinning as he had her wheel Bryant's two separate parts to the back as they exited the curtain. Isaac's Sorcerer Swordsman gave his master a high five as he thanked his magician for helping to pull off the trick as he raced back to the center of the floor as the dancers were back out.

Do not try this at home.

Sang Twilight along with Natasha as both girls kept in time with the music and did a small jig.

Mr. Bristle was now bring out another device as he managed to grab Lucky Star as she had a worried look on her face. She immediately looked at Isaac as he had a sly smile on his face. He then grabbed the teen girl as he placed her in the small space as Mr. Bristle and Natasha place the top part and side parts on the box as they spun it around on its wheels.

"We call this one, the Human Skillet!" shouted Isaac as he was now holding piece of wood that had spikes on the other end as one of the engineers of the show started to light them up. "And boy does it live up to its name."

"Fire!!" shouted Lucky Star from inside. "Let me out!!!" cried the girl as even though she couldn't see what was happened, she heard Isaac and the scent of fire as she knew it meant danger. Lucky Star was banging on lid but Natasha and Mr. Bristle ignored it as Isaac kept on with the act as he placed the wooden piece with flaming spikes on the far end of the device as all he needed to do was push it into the box.

Stick her with the spikes, yum yum nice job.
Are you ready for a little krusty kabab.

Sang Twilight to the audience as she soon turned her attention back to her boyfriend as he was prepared to do the trick.

"Remember, do not try this at home." said Isaac as he addressed the audience.

He then got back in position and without a moment to lose pushed the spike through the box as everybody could see them sticking out of the black as the ends were still on fire. He then played to the audience for a few moments as he pointed at the box as they were in awe. Soon both Natasha and Mister Bristle took of the top part and the side part of the box as the spikes were shown going through the object, but Lucky Star was nowhere to be seen, once again it was like she actually disappeared. Mr. Bristle and Natasha then put the box back together as he took out the flaming spikes as gave them to the engineer to put out as Isaac now approached the box and adjusted his top hat as he prepared to complete the trick.

"Come on, everybody. Let's do it!" shouted Isaac.

"Zing Zang Zoom!" shouted Isaac and the crowd as they said the magic phrase. He then opened the lid and out popped Lucky Star as she had a surprised look on her face and checked her clothes for any burn marks, but she was perfectly fine. He then had Twilight and Natasha rolled Lucky Star away through the curtain and into the back as Mr. Gravity and Pinkie approached them as they had some wands in their hands.

"That was great." said Mr. Gravity.

"How about another?" said Pinkie.

"Zoom Zang Zang!" shouted both clowns as they raised their wands for spark to fly out but nothing happened.

"What do you think you're doing?" said Mr. Bristle as he and Isaac approached the two clowns as they continued on with the act.

"What's with the wand, Pinkie?"

"What does it look like?!" shouted both clowns. "Zoom Zang Zang!" shouted both individuals as their wands back fired again.

"That's not how it goes." said Mr. Bristle.

"Oh, yeah. You think you both can do better?" shouted both clowns.

"As a matter of fact, yes we can." said Isaac as he and Mr. Bristle stood in between the two clowns with Mr. Gravity on Bristle's left side, while Pinkie was on Isaac's right side.

"Zing Zang Zoom!" shouted both individuals as they said the proper magic words while looking at the arena as it lit up in color and wonder. Both put their arms out when they said the words as they hit Pinkie and Mr. Gravity in the face as they pretended to be knocked out as part of the comedy act. Soon the curtain was being pulled back as out was emerging the acrobats as they were on next while Isaac, Mr. Bristle, and the rest of the people left from the act were now making their way to the back in the darkness. Isaac did make sure to thanked his Mirage Magician for pulling that trick with Lucky Star successful.

"Nice job, so far, everyone." said Mr. Bristle as he addressed everybody in the back as out in the arena the acrobats were swinging and flying about. "Especially, you Isaac. You got a natural talent for showbiz and magic."

"Well, I dabble a bit." said Isaac with a proud smile.

"So, how did you do all those tricks without any misdirection?" asked Twilight as she approached her boyfriend in her outfit.

"Twilight, you know a magician never reveals his secrets." said Mr. Bristle as he winked at Isaac and left to check on the other acts.

"Well." said Twilight hoping for an answer still.

"Come here." said Isaac as he pulled out a rope full of handkerchiefs from his sleeves as he wrapped it around Twilight's waist as he pulled the lavender girl into his arms as he dipped her. He then brought his lips to hers as Twilight fell into it as she placed her hand to cusp her boyfriend's cheek as he pulled back and let her up as he booped her nose which cause Twilight to turn red. Isaac then gave her another passionate kiss as he lifted Twilight into the air as he held her.

---

Antonio and his family were performing on the Russian Swings as they traded back and forth with the object as they did some crazy bumps and flips. Halfway through, Dimitri came out as he brought Applejack with him. He then had a brick wall brought to him as he wanted Applejack to punch it, now really it was made of paper mache, but the way it was colored and designed by Sunset made it seem so life like. As well as it was covered in cement dust so that when it broke it would seem like Aj punched the brick. Applejack then cracked her fist as she let loose a right punch as she broke the wall clean in half as the audience was amazed by the country girl. Applejack then began to perform some feats of strength as the crowd was amazed by what she could do. Soon Isaac and Mr. Bristle came out as they helped to transition between acts.

"Once again, give it up for the Antonio and his family. As well as Dimitri and Applejack." stated Mr. Bristle as the audience clapped with the group going back through the curtain.

"Now time to move onto to some animals." said Isaac as a growl and roar was heard. He then pointed to a cage arena that was being lowered down as coming from the curtain was Sylvain and Fluttershy dressed in animal tamer outfits. They stepped into the caged arena as Shadow was setting up some stands. He then quickly got out of the cage and stood outside of it as he didn't want to be inside.

Fluttershy then let out a whistle as soon the lionesses and tigers all raced out from the curtain as they went into the small door for them to enter as they all tackled the shy girl. The crowd let out a gasp, but soon saw the big cats all licking the girl's face as she let out a giggled and then petted them as she instructed them to get on the chairs. Sylvain then began to get to work as he had a small whip and baton to get the animals' attention. With that, Sylvain and Fluttershy then worked their charm as they got the big cats to perform tricks. They even set up a hoop as they lit it on fire and then had the cats jump through it in quick session as the crowd was entertained. Soon they dismissed all the cats by giving them kisses on their noses as they all left through the curtain and back into their holding pen. Fluttershy let out another whistle as the elephants came out as they stopped in front of the girl. She then talked to them as they understood and then began to line up as they stood on their hind legs while placing their front legs on the back of the elephant in front of them.

Soon both individuals dismissed them as Sylvain also exited through the curtain. Isaac came out with Spike in his hand.

"Truly something amazing. But not as amazing as a talking dog." said Isaac as he gave Spike to Fluttershy as they began to wink.

"So Spike, what you say about this show?" asked the girl.

"Well, I think we're a smash hit." said the mutt as the crowd gasped as they had never seen a talking dog. Even the students were shocked how Fluttershy was getting Spike to talk. To anybody but Isaac and the girls, they thought Fluttershy was doing some ventriloquism. Soon they told some jokes as they bowed down as they made their way to the back with Isaac transition to the next act.

"Look to the skies, as you'll see the duo sisters, Cinnamon Moon and Petunia as they prepare to fly through the circus top." said Isaac as he pointed above him and some spotlights shined on the girls as they were on opposite ends on platforms with the trapeze in each of their hand. Isaac gave the signal as the women began to do some flips and acrobatics as the crowd couldn't look away. Soon they reached the end of their perform as Mr. Bristle and Isaac were back out as they now had a cannon with them.

"Now time to be amazed as we fire the shot across the arena." stated Isaac as he then had another piece of cloth as he placed it on the floor and then pulled it away to reveal Sunset in her circus outfit as she was shocked.

"No! No!" shouted the bacon-haired girl.

"Yes. Load the cannon." said Isaac as he now grabbed the girl and then started to push her down the barrel of the cannon.

"Boy toy! You let me out or I'm gonna kick your..."

"Aaaaand here we go." said Isaac as he cut off Sunset as he nodded and Mr. Bristle then light the fuse as the sizzle was heard as it started to slowly to reach the end.

"Uh-oh." said Sunset as she realized what was happening.

"Fire!" shouted the boy and the owner as Sunset was now shot out of the cannon as she was now sent flying high into the air as she let out a scream. Soon she cam crashing down on the landing pad as an explosive went off around her as Sunset was fine as she was breathing heavily as the crowd cheered. Isaac took a bow as he made sure to wink at his magicians as they appeared and too were having fun helping their master to pull of these tricks.

"I'm sure we can do something to top that." asked Twilight to the audience as she made her way to Isaac.

"You're right, how about... this!" said Isaac as he casted his hands at Twilight as she was now starting to float up in the air.

"What! Isaac! ISAAC!" shouted Twilight as she rising into the air as Isaac had his left hand to his mind so it was made to see he was using his brain to lift Twilight without any wires or cables.

"How is Isaac doing this?" shouted the students from behind the curtain.

"ISAAC!!!" shouted the bookworm as she was up in the rafters as a spotlight was shining on Twilight.

"What do you think?" stated Isaac as he turned his back to his girlfriend as he looked at the audience as they clapped. He then took a bow as at that moment, Twilight was plummeting down.

"HELP!!!!" shouted the girl as she was falling fast as the crowd let out gasps.

Isaac was still bowing when he heard some muttering. "What's that? I'm missing something, I wonder it could be." The boy was now playfully thinking as Twilight was still falling.

"ISAAC!!!" shouted Twilight.

"It's on the tip of my tongue." said Isaac dramatically.

"ISAAC! You ass-"

"Oh, right." said the boy as he turned around and out from his sleeves came some handkerchiefs as they wrapped around Twilight's waist as they caught the girl before hitting the ground as the boy yanked them as he pulled his girlfriend into his arms as he smiled and waved to the crowd as they applauded his act.

Twilight was hyperventilating as she was taking massive deep breaths that she almost became a splat on the floor. She then looked at her boyfriend as she had a steamed look. "I'm gonna kick your a..."

Isaac then cut Twilight off as he gave her a deep kiss to which Twilight fell into it as she cusped his face. He then pulled away as she rolled her eyes.

"I don't whether to kill or make out with you right now." said the girl as her hormones and adrenaline were being mixed together. Isaac just chuckled as looked above to see his Black Robe Mentalist smiling as he gave her a quick wink for her help.

"And now, for the final act. Gaze your eyes on the Wheel of Death!!" said Mr. Bristle as the huge metal thing came out as Maverick was preparing to do his act.

Maverick was able to show his skills as he was inside of the wheel and then got on top of it as it was moving as he started to do jump rope on the wheel as it was moving. He even did a front flip on the wheel as it was going down on its rotation as he held onto it as it came back up and he did another flip as he then went back inside of the wheel as he continued to amaze the crowd. Soon he did his final trick as it came to a stop as the crowd clapped and he remained out there as out came Mr. Bristle and Isaac as they addressed the audience.

"We want to thank you all for coming out to tonight's show." said Mr. Bristle as the crowd was loud.

"We hope that you were all entertained." said Isaac.

"And give one more thanks to Isaac and his friends for helping us to keep our home and helping us to put on a grand show." said the owner as he pointed to Isaac who took a bow as the crowd showed their appreciation. "And now we must bid you adieu." said Mr. Bristle as he snapped his fingers as the entire place went dark. Soon some music started to play as a single spotlight shined down on Mr. Bristle.

[ENSEMBLE]
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah

Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for (Woah)
Been searchin' in the dark, your sweat soakin' through the floor (Woah)
And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore
Takin' your breath, stealin' your mind
And all that was real is left behind

Don't fight it, it's comin' for you, runnin' at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
Your fever dream, can't you see it gettin' closer?
Just surrender 'cause you feel the feelin' takin' over
It's fire, it's freedom, it's floodin' open
It's a preacher in the pulpit and your blind devotion
There's somethin' breakin' at the brick of every wall
It's holdin' all that you know, so tell me do you wanna go?

Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
Impossible comes true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watchin' it come true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show


Mr. Bristle started the song as he toss his cane in between his hands. He then pointed at the main curtain as out came his cast as they started to do the final closing acts as they were doing all they could to give the audience one final goodbye. They even joined in with their boss as they began to sing the song. He started to walk towards Natasha as he passed by Bubbles who was strapped to a rolling wheel as Mr. Gravity was throwing some knives at it as he made the outline of his comrade with it before giving Mr. Bristle a high-five. He then went under Calliope as she was walking on some stilts as Petunia somersaulted off of her shoulders as she landed on a seesaw as it tossed her sister, Cinnamon Moon, into the air as she grabbed on a trapeze as it was flying by. Mr. Bristle then approached Natasha as he spun her around and she began to sing with her beloved while their friends were still doing their acts.

(Woah) Colossal we come these renegades in the ring
(Woah) Where the lost get found in the crown of the circus king
Don't fight it, it's comin' for you, runnin' at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
It's blindin', outshinin' anything that you know
Just surrender 'cause you're callin' and you wanna go
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
Impossible comes true, intoxicatin' you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watchin' it come true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show

It's everything you ever want
It's everything you ever need
And it's here right in front of you
This is where you wanna be (This is where you wanna be)
It's everything you ever want
It's everything you ever need
And it's here right in front o' you
This is where you wanna be
This is where you wanna be

Natasha sang her line with such conviction as Mr. Bristle gave her a kiss. Soon he grabbed her hand as the rest of their friends continued on with the song as the both of them made their way back to the curtain as Isaac and his friends/students were all watching the closing act. Soon Mr. Bristle approached the gang with Natasha having her arm wrapped around her beloved as he gave Isaac his personal top hat.

"Huh?" asked Isaac.

"Take it, kid. You finish it. As they say: The show must go on." said Mr. Bristle as he was letting Isaac and his friends finish the song.

Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
Impossible comes true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watchin' it come true, it's takin' over you

Isaac grabbed the hat and put it on his head as he gave a nod, Mr. Bristle tossed the cane to Isaac as he grabbed and he started to run out with his friends as they began to finish the song as the students all stayed behind with Tigre and Spike to watch them. The girls all broke apart as they ran out through the curtain as Isaac then did a quick slide as he sang the next part of the song as Twilight soon accompanied her boyfriend in singing.

This is the greatest show!!!
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
Impossible comes true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the walls can't stop us now(Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the walls can't stop us now)
I'm watchin' it come true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show(I'm watchin' it come true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show)

'Cause everythin' you want is right in front of you
And you see the impossible is comin' true
And the walls can't stop us (now) now, yeah(Cause everythin' you want is right in front of you
And you see the impossible is comin' true
And the walls can't stop us)

Isaac and then grabbed Twilight's hand as they he began to lead the both of them to some pillars as each of their friends were on one of their own as they were all different heights. Rainbow and Rarity's were the tallest one stationed, Applejack and Fluttershy were on ones that were a bit lower than the two. Sunset and Pinkie on pillar that were lower than theirs but still not touching the ground. Isaac and Twilight got on pillar that was at the bottom as it touched the floor. The girls saw the group get on theirs as they began to help finish the song as they sang, all the while Isaac looked out to the audience as he wrapped his left arm around Twilight's waist as he saw his all of his magicians of his deck appear as they began to work their magic by adding some fireworks to the show as the crowd believed it to be part of the show. They all smiled at their master as he alone gave a nod.

This is the greatest show (Oh!)
This is the greatest show (Oh!)
This is the greatest show (Oh!)
This is the greatest show (Oh!)
This is the greatest show (Oh!)
This is the greatest show (Oh!)
This is the greatest show (Oh!)
This is the greatest show (Oh!)
This is the greatest show! (Oh!)

The song ended as the pillars each of the friends found themselves moved as they rearranged the group. Fluttershy's pillar was on the far right as it was lowered; Rainbow Dash's pillar was on her left as it was a bit higher than hers, and Sunset's pillar was next to Rainbow's as it was higher than hers. Rarity's pillar was lowered as to her right; Applejack's pillar was raised up a bit as it was higher, next to Applejack was Pinkie standing on her pillar as she was higher than the one Aj was one and in the center that connected the two sides at the top of the pillar was Isaac and Twilight as the boy held the girl in his arms as the spotlight shined down on the group as they reached the climax of the song they ended it. The crowd cheered as they all bowed with the members of the circus, the students, with Mr. Bristle and Natasha looking from behind the curtain as they clapped. Isaac then dipped Twilight one final time as the girl grabbed the hat from her boyfriend as she pulled him in for one final deep kiss as the scene ended with the two of them having smiles on their faces.

[Fluffy-Boi]

This was amazing! Love the circus and all the people there. Did not expect Flithy to be there. But glad he and his lawyer got stomped.

[nightshroud96]

Well that was a very interesting circus thing that happened there.
Really glad Spike got to be there too and such.
I remember watching those 2 5Ds episodes that had the duels these 2 duels here were based off on.
Think Filthy Rich is going to rear his ugly head for the 3rd time?
So this is a pretty great chapter right here.

"Uh, hey girls." said Spike as he felt even smaller looking up at the cats. Both cats just let out a growl as they looked at the small dog as he starting to be scared as he tucked his tail between his legs. Both cats showed their teeth as it got Spike to pee a bit, he then let out a yelp as he ran towards Fluttershy. "I won't ever mess with you again, pussy cat!" shouted Spike as he ran towards the girl for safety.

Though I really hated this part alot.
Really hope Spike gets some major payback at Tigre for that. Would he.?

"Well, I think we're a smash hit." said the mutt as the crowd gasped as they had never seen a talking dog. Even the students were shocked how Fluttershy was getting Spike to talk. To anybody but Isaac and the girls, they thought Fluttershy was doing some ventriloquism. Soon they told some jokes as they bowed down as they made their way to the back with Isaac transition to the next act.

This is probably my most fav bit of the chapter though.
Wonder if its a matter of time before the cat is out of the bag that the students will realize that Spike can actually do talk?

The two duels were really fine pretty much.

That's all I got for this chapter.

No Filthy Rich will not show up. As for the interaction with the pets, it was just to have fun. It wasn't meant to make you upset, sorry if you feel that way. It was suppose to be a lighthearted joke and not suppose to make anybody upset. And as for the students, no they won't ever find out that Spike talks.
