Sword of Equestria

Chapter 2

I was floating in the empty space again.

"Only through Chaos can you bring true Harmony."

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I awoke and looked at the clock on the wall. It read 10:30.

Wait, doesn’t the boat leave at noon?

My eyes widened at the clock. I got up and ran around the room, getting on clothes and grabbing my bags.

“Why didn’t you wake me up an hour ago?” I asked Twilight as I ran downstairs.

“I tried, but you were having that dream again,” she argued.

I ate a breakfast bar and ran outside. My duel runner was in the shop and my uncle was impossible to wake up before noon, so I was hoofing it (no pun intended).

It was 11:30 by the time I made it to the docks. I was kneeling on the ground, panting, ”We *pant* made it *pant* Twi.”

“I don’t know who you’re talking to,” a familiar voice said, “But you aren’t boarding a boat.”

I turned around to find the guy that I beat the day before. I slipped on my D-Pad and D-Gazer and said, “It looks like I’m going to have to give you another lesson in friendship.”

“I doubt that. The name’s Dragun by the way.”

A wave of ones and zeros spread over the area.

Duel Start

James: 4000lp

Dragun: 4000lp

“I’ll go first,” I said, “I draw. I activate the field spell Ponyville.”

A small town appeared around us and I grinned.

“I activate the spell Call of the Cutie. This allows me to bring out Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle (ATK all 800).”

The three Cutie Mark Crusaders appeared and bounced around.

“You’re going to beat me with little ponies?” Dragun asked in disbelief.

I began to laugh, “No, I’m not the kind of person to let little fillies get in fights. But I tribute them to bring out a more powerful monster.”

A moon appeared around my feet and the field turned to night, “I tribute these three to call forth the princess of the night herself. I call forth Princess Luna (ATK 3000)!”

The moon under me disappeared and Luna appeared above me. She floated down to the ground.

“So you’ve brought out a winged unicorn?” Dragun asked now he seemed a bit confused.

“The term is alicorn,” I corrected, “Now what I haven’t been telling you is that each time I summon a monster I put a Friendship Counter on my Ponyville card. Since I’ve summoned four monsters, I have four.”

“Is that signifigant?”

“Actually, yes. By removing them from Ponyville, I can summon a monster from my deck. I choose Rarity (ATK 1500). By using her effect, I can add an equip spell from my deck to my hand, but I can’t use it this turn.”

I looked through my deck and added Rarity’s Element to my hand, “Since I’ve only special summoned this turn, I normal summon Twilight Sparkle (1700->2200).”

“Wait, how did she get more attack points?”

“Twilight gains 500 attack points for each spell on the field. I’ll end my turn with a facedown (FC: 2)

“Finally,” Dragun muttered, “I draw and summon Alexandrite Dragon (ATK 2000). Now I activate Axe of Despair to give my dragon more power (ATK 2000->3000) (Twilight Sparkle ATK 2200->2700).”

An axe appeared on the ground and the gem covered dragon picked it up. I could see that Rarity was trying not to freak out over all the gems.

Dragun pointed at the white unicorn, “I attack Rarity.”

She cowered at the dragon coming at her when a blue and red shield stopped the axe mid swing.

“What the heck?”

I grinned and revealed my trap, “I used the trap Friendship Shield. This keeps Rarity from being destroyed by removing one Friendship Counter from Ponyville. But I still take the damage.”

James: 4000->2500lp

“I’ll end my turn.”

I drew and smiled, “First off I activate the spell Ascension. This allows Twilight to achieve her true destiny.”

A circle of bright light appeared around Twilight and began to spin. When it stopped, Twilight was taller and had wings, “I call forth Princess Twilight Sparkle (ATK 2800). Not only is she more powerful, but she retains her old ability (ATK 2800->3300). I now use the spell Element of Generosity and give it to Rarity (Twilight 3300->3800). The downside of Twilight’s powers is that she cannot attack dragons because they remind her of her assistant.”

“So you can’t destroy my monster!” Dragun must have thought he was going to win.

Let’s show him what friendship can do.

“I activate the effect of the Element of Generosity. This lets Rarity give her strength to Princess Luna.”

A light blue beam of energy went from the necklace around Rarity’s neck to Luna’s jewelry (ATK 1500->0 3000->4500).

“First I attack with Luna.”

A blast of energy hit the dragon and it was destroyed.

Dragun: 4000->2500lp

“Now Twilight, attack with ultimate magical blast!”

Dragun: 2500->0lp

As augmented reality faded, I picked up my bags and took off in a sprint towards the boat. I just barely made it and walked to my room, tired.

The spirit of, not Twilight, but Pinkie Pie appeared to me, “Good job with the duel!”

“Thanks Pinkie. Now I just need some rest.”

I fell on my bed and passed out.
