My Little Yu-Gi-Oh: Card Games are Magic

For once, we didn’t start off with a quote from Yami as cards circled him. Instead, we were shown to an intro for a show called ‘Rex and Weevil’, staring the Earth Pony stallion and Pegasus stallion themselves as the Beavis and Butthead intro music played in the background. The episode of their show was called, ‘Huh-huh, you said Pony-Eater Bug!’

We cut to the ship docking at Pegasus’s Island as Joey commented, “Wow, an entire island all to ourselves! It’s sort of like that book, Lord of the Flies, only with a lot less subtext and a lot more card games!”

“Wasn’t that the movie with the evil ring and the hobbits?” Tristen asked Téa.  “Why would any of those things be on this island, you idiot?!” Téa snapped at Tristen.

Two pictures were then shown on screen: One was of Bakura, but he was a unicorn and an arrow was pointing to the Millennium Ring with a caption that read ‘evil ring’ and the other was of Yugi with an arrow pointing at him with a caption that read ‘hobbit’.

I sure hope nopony notices that we’re trespassing! Tristen thought as he and his friends got off the boat.  “Hey, you!” A security guard yelled. The irony! Tristen yelped while still thinking.  “Quit drawing attention to yourself, you barely qualify as a sidekick!” The security guard exclaimed.

Joey then sneezed and Yugi told him, “You wouldn’t have caught that cold if it haven’t been for Weevil.”  “Actually, I would’ve have caught it if you hadn’t been a naïve moron and gave him your most powerful cards.” Joey corrected him.  “No, it was defiantly Weevil. He threw my grandpa’s cards into the ocean and I’ll never be able to forgive him.” Yugi said.

“It’s sort of like that time Joey threw away a piece of your Millennium Puzzle!” Tristen exclaimed.  “Yeah, except ya forgave me for that. Right, Yug?” Joey asked. “Sure, Joey…sure.” Yugi grumbled.

A flashback of Joey throwing away a piece of the Millennium Puzzle is shown while the Ironside theme played in the background.  The Hair Guy then yelled, “Attention, duelists! If you can all stop staring at my mane for a moment, you’ll see that Pegasus’s castle is just behind me. Please follow the unnecessarily long staircase to meet your host.”

As they climbed up, Téa stated, “My limey senses are tingling!”  “What is it, Téa?” Yugi asked.  “I thought I saw Bakura again!” Téa answered as she pointed at the forest below.

“Maybe we should check. He’s our friend after all.” Joey suggested. “And let him cut into MY precious screen time? No way!” Yugi exclaimed. “It’s not like he’s a main character or anything.”

As this was being said, Bakura was seen watching them from the forest and appeared to be planning something.   On the top of the stairs, a random pony told his friend, “Hey, check out all of the obligatory cameos. Weevil Underwood. Rex Raptor. Mako Tsunami…”

“But where’s the reigning champion: Seto Kaiba?” The other pony asked.  “Didn’t you hear? He was barred from the tournament because his name wasn’t stupid enough.” The first pony answered.

Then, on the balcony of the castle, Pegasus stood there, announcing, “Welcome to the Duelist Kingdom. Let me assure you that this tournament is 100% genuine and is not in any way a plan thrown together at the last minute, so I can get my hooves on an ancient Saddle Arabian artifact. To advance to the finals and the chance at three million bits, you must collect 10 Star Chips by betting them on card games. Remember, foals, gambling is good for you!”

Later, in a field, Joey told his friends, “Now that my cold’s instantly cleared up, I can’t wait to win this tournament and get the prize money!”  “So, you can pay for the operation, right?” Yugi asked.  “What operation?” Joey questioned.  “The one your sister’s getting.” Yugi replied.  “What sister?” Joey asked.

“Hey, it’s Weevil!”  Téa exclaimed as she saw the Pegasus standing nearby.  “Weevil, I challenge you to a—“Yugi began, but Weevil flew off.

“Wait a minute, he’s getting away!” Joey pointed out, running after Weevil with his friends.  “It’s almost as if he doesn’t want to play a card game with me.”  Yugi commented.

Weevil landed and turned to them, telling them, “Actually, dum-dum, I was just leading you into this vague trap or something. Heh-heh…”  The Millennium Puzzle glowed as Yugi declared while turning into Yami, “Super Special Awesome Ultra Special Sexy Transformation Sequence GO!”

“I’m back, baby!” The alicorn declared.  Weevil laughed, “Heh, two can play at this game, idiot. Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh...”  The ground started to rumble while Weevil grinned menacingly at Yami. “Sweet mother of Luna! He’s transforming too! But who or what is he becoming?” Yami asked.

Weevil then exclaimed in a weird voice, “I am Cornholio! My plot hole will speak now! Heh-heh-heh!”

“It’s time to duel, you strange silly pony!” Yami yelled.  “Are you threatening me?” Weevil asked in his strange voice before returning back to his normal voice. “I summon my Generic Insect! Heh-heh!”

“Wow, check out all the imagery!” Téa commented while Yami played the Horn of the Unicorn card on his Feral Imp in order to raise his Attack Points. “What are you talking about, Téa? There ain’t anything suspicious about this duel.” Joey questioned.

“Now, quiver in fear as my knight’s mighty lance penetrates your cocoon!” Yami announced.  “Huh. I guess you’re right…” Téa muttered while Mai arrived on the scene.

“Look, plot has arrived!” Tristen pointed out.  “You’re all wasting your time. Yugi doesn’t stand a chance! He’s not even experienced enough.”  Mai boasted.

“Compared to friendship and compassion, experience is meaningless!” Téa told Mai.  “Keep telling yourself that…” Mai retorted.  “GRR! I’LL SCRATCH YOUR EYES OUT!!!” Téa shouted with an annoyed expression.

The light pink Earth Pony was held back by Joey who asked, “Would you two please stop arguing on whose better?! I’m trying to look at Mai’s plot here!”  Right at this point, Yami said, “I activate Deus Ex Machina!”

“Hey, heh-heh, no fair, heh-heh, you can’t use Spell Cards on my turn!” Weevil yelled.  “Tell it to the writing staff! Summoned Skull, destroy his cheap Mothra imitation!” Yami retorted.  Joey and Tristen cheered in victory, “Yay! We were totally ineffectual!”

“I lost! Heh-heh…and stuff. Heh-heh.” Weevil said while watching the illusion of his monster getting destroyed.  “Maybe next time, you’ll think twice before forcing somepony to part with their valuables. Now, hand over the Star Chips and kiss my hooves!” Yami commanded.

“Darn it! Heh-heh…this card game sucks! Heh-heh.”  Weevil said.

The peach alicorn told him, “Settle down, plotmunch!”
