(The human world)

"Let's duel!" said the two farmer girls.

Applejack LP: 4000

AJ LP: 4000

Turn 1: AJ

"I summon Apple Magician Girl in defense mode," said AJ. "That's all for now."

Turn 2: Applejack

"I summon World Carrotweight Champion in attack mode!" said Applejack. "Attack her Magician!"

"I activate my Apple Girl's ability!" interrupted AJ. "If she's attacked, I can special summon a level five or lower Spellcaster form my hoof, and force your monster to attack it instead. So I'll bring out Gambler of Legend in defense mode!"

Applejack shrugged. "Fine, I'll just make your magician disappear instead."

"I don't think so," said AJ. "When I activate this effect, your monster loses half its ATK strength."

"Say what?!" asked Applejack. (World Carrotweight Champion ATK: 1900 – 950)

"And unfortunately," added AJ. "My Gambler's DEF points are 1400. Too bad."

Applejack LP: 3550

AJ LP: 4000

"Okay," said Applejack. "I end ma turn."

Turn 3: AJ

"You're been messing with the bull," said AJ. "Now here comes the horns. I summon Enraged Battle Ox in attack mode! Then I'll switch my Apple Magician to attack mode. Then I'll activate my Gambler's effect, I toss a coin three times. If I get three heads, I can destroy all your monsters. If I get two heads, I can force you to discard a card from your… hand. One head, I have to destroy a card on my side. If I get three heads, I have to discard all my cards. So here goes!" Three digital coins were tossed.

"There's no way she'll get three heads," thought Applejack.

The coins all landed on heads.

"Say what?!" asked Applejack in complete shock.

"Now ya see why I beat Rainbow in coin tossing," said AJ.


(Equestria)

"She just got lucky," said Rainbow.


(The human world)

"Time to uproot your crops," said AJ.

"Oh boy," said Applejack as her monster was destroyed.

"Yee ha!" said AJ. "Apple Magician Girl, ride ma Battle Ox into her life points!"

"Ah!" cried Applejack.

Applejack LP: 650

AJ LP: 4000

"Applejack!" gasped Fluttershy.

"Don't worry," said Rainbow. "She'll make a comeback, she always does. Believe me, I know what she can do when she's pushed to the limit."

"Okay," said Fluttershy.

"I'm done," said AJ.

Turn 4: Applejack

"Glad to hear it," said Applejack. "I take it you know about my carrot's effect right?"

"Course," answered AJ. "If ya discard a Plant monster, you can bring him back."

"Exactly," said Applejack. "So I'll discard ma Sweet Corn to bring back ma Carrotweight Champion. Then I'll summon Infernity Avenger! Now I'll tune my Avenger with ma Champion to Synchro summon X-Saber Wayne! And here's the best part, his effect lets me special summon a level four or lower Warrior monster right to the field. So I'm bringing out ma own mad bull, Bull Blader to be precise!"

"Told ya," said Rainbow to Fluttershy.

"Uh-oh," said AJ.

"Like ya'll side," said Applejack. "Here comes the horns. Buller Blader, attack her Gambler! Wayne, attack her Battle Ox!"

"Shoot," said AJ.

Applejack LP: 650

AJ LP: 3600

"You're up," said Applejack.

Turn 5: AJ

"Okey dokey," said AJ. "I summon Papa-Corn in attack mode, then I'll activate Gaia Power!"

"That is one huge apple tree," said Applejack.

"I know right?" asked AJ. "And this here tree gives all Earth monsters 500 extra points." (Papa-Corn ATK: 1200 – 1700)

"Thanks for the power boost," said Applejack. (X-Saber Wayne ATK: 2100 – 2600) (Bull Blader ATK: 1600 – 2100)

"You're welcome," said AJ. "But ma Papa-Corn has quite the effect. If there's a field spell out, he gains 1000 more points!"

"Say what?" asked Applejack. (Papa-Corn ATK: 1700 – 2700)

"Papa-Corn, attack her cowboy!" ordered AJ.

"Dang," said Applejack.

Applejack LP: 550

AJ LP: 3600

"I place one card face down and switch my Apple Girl to defense mode," said AJ. "Your move."

Turn 6: Applejack

"Alrighty," said Applejack. "I summon Cactus Fighter!" (Cactus Fighter ATK: 1900 – 2400) "Bull Blader, attack her corn cob!"

"Not so fast!" interrupted AJ. "I activate Scrap-Iron Scarecrow! First, it negates your attack, then it goes back face down for next turn."

"Alright then," said Applejack. "Then I'll just have my Cactus Fighter attack your little magician. And since I destroyed her, you get a Needle token on your side. (Needle Token ATK: 500 – 1000/ DEF: 500 – 100) "I place a face down and that's all."

Turn 7: AJ

"Whew," breathed AJ. "Here goes. I play Smashing Ground to get rid of your Bull Blader."

"Dog gone," said Applejack.

"Now that the coast is clear, my Papa-Corn will attack your Cactus Fighter!" said AJ.

"Dag nab it," said Applejack.

Applejack LP: 250

AJ LP: 3600

"I'm done," said AJ.

Turn 8: Applejack

"Then I draw," said Applejack. "I play Pot of Greed so I can draw two cards. Yes! I think I'll discard my Niwatori so I can special summon Quickdraw Synchron. Then I'll summon Bacon Saver in attack mode. Now I'll tune my Synchron with my Saver to Synchro summon Junk Archer!" (Junk Archer ATK: 2300 – 2800) "Next comes Mystical Space Typhoon, so I can scare away your little Scarecrow."

"Oh shoot," said AJ.

"Now for my Archer's ability," said Applejack. "He can remove one of your monsters from play until the end of the turn. So say bye-bye to your Papa."

"No!" said AJ.

"Now I'll activate ma trap, Meteor Rain!" said Applejack. "It lets me inflict piercing damage this turn."

"Great," said AJ.

"Junk Archer attack her token!" ordered Applejack. (Needle Token DEF: 100)

"Darn it!" said AJ.

Applejack LP: 250

AJ LP: 900

"Since my turn's over, your corn on the cob returns," said Applejack.

Turn 9: AJ

"Then it's my turn," said AJ as Spike drew for her. "I switch my Papa-Corn to defense mode and set a monster face down. Your move."

Turn 10: Applejack

"Okey dokey," said Applejack. "I play Pot of Avarice, so I can return five monsters to ma deck, and draw two cards. Next I'll summon Gladiator Beast Dimacari in attack mode!" (Gladiator Beast Dimacari ATK: 1600 – 2100) "Next I'll pay Spell Shattering Arrow! This destroys all of your face up spell cards, then you take 500 points of damage for each one."

"Dog gone," said AJ. (Junk Archer ATK: 2800 – 2300) (Gladiator Beast Dimacari ATK: 2100 – 1600) (Papa-Corn ATK: 2700 – 1200)

Applejack LP: 250

AJ LP: 400

"Then I'll use my Archer's ability to remove your corn cob again," continued Applejack. "Dimacari, attack her mystery monster!"

"It was Cheepcheepcheep," said AJ. "And once he's flipped over, I can special summon Cockadoodledoo from my deck, so I'll summon him in defense mode."

"Time to pluck some feathers," said Applejack. "Junk Archer, attack! I end ma turn, so your cob corn comes back."

Turn 11: AJ

"I'll summon my own Carrotweight Champion in defense mode," said AJ. "Then I'll place two cards face down and end ma turn."

Turn 12: Applejack

"Very well," said Applejack. "I just use my Archer's effect to –"

"Hold on!" said AJ. "I activate Forbidden Chalice to cancel out your Archer's effect."

"Darn," said Applejack. "Oh well, at least my monster gets a power boost." (Junk Archer ATK: 2300 – 2700) "I'll just have both ma monsters attack yours! You're up—"

"Hold up!" interrupted AJ. "I activate ma trap, Call of the Haunted to bring back ma Carrotweight Champion."

"Okay," said Applejack. "Now I'm done."

Turn 13: AJ

"Ma move, I draw!" said AJ. "Yee ha! I play Pot of Greed! So now I can draw two cards. I play Stray Lambs, this lets bring out two Lamb tokens in defense mode. Then I'll play Token Sundae, which destroys all of ma tokens. After that, I can destroy the number of cards on the field, so I'll destroy both of your monsters."

"Crud!" said Applejack.

"Carrotweight Champion, attack her directly!" ordered AJ.

"I activate Bacon Saver's effect!" said Applejack. "By removing this monster, I can negate your attack."

"Aw man," said AJ. "Oh well, now ya can't use it for the rest of the duel. So I'll end ma turn."

Turn 14: Applejack

"Ma turn, I draw," said Applejack. "I can't do anything, so I'm done."

Turn 15: AJ

"Sorry that happened," said AJ. "Oh well, ma turn. Knock her out Carrotweight!"

"Just kidding," said Applejack. "I discard ma Swift Scarecrow to end your battle phase."

"Fine," said AJ in an annoyed tone. "I place one card face down and end ma turn."

Turn 16: Applejack

"Okay, I draw," said Applejack. "Now I play Wiseman's Chalice, this lets special summon a monster from your graveyard as long as I don't have any on my side. So I'll special summon your Enraged Battle Ox, then I'll summon ma own normal Battle Ox. Next, I will overlay them both to Xyz summon Gagaga Cowboy! Time to Draw. Attack her Champion! By the way, when he attacks a monster, I can use an overlay unit to give him gain 1000 ATK points, while your monster loses 500." (Gagaga Cowboy ATK: 1500 – 2500) (World Carrotweight Champion ATK: 1900 – 1500)

"Hold on there!" said AJ. "I activate Desert Sunlight to switch my Champ to defense mode!"

"Talk about cutting it close," said Applejack. "Nice going."

"Thanks," said AJ.

"You're welcome," said Applejack. "Anyway, I will continue ma attack. I'm done."

Turn 17: AJ

"Here goes," said AJ. "Alright! I play the Card of Allies! It lets me draw three cards, but now I can't inflict any battle damage for the next two turns. Now I play Polymerization to fuse my Mystical Sheep #1 with Skull Red Bird to form Crimson Sunbird!"

"Yikes!" said Applejack. "Oh wait, I won't lose any life points because of your spell."

"You may be safe," said AJ. "But your Cowboy isn't. Now ma Sunbird will peck your monster to death, attack! Your move."

Turn 18: Applejack

"I'll just place a monster face down and end ma turn," said Applejack.

Turn 19: AJ

"Sounds good to me," said AJ. "I equip ma giant chicken with Fusion Weapon, so he gains 1500 more points." (Crimson Sunbird ATK: 2300 – 3800) "Attack her face down monster!" But the attack was blocked. "What the?"

"Sorry," said Applejack. "But ma Shiba-Warrior Taro can't be destroyed in battle."

"That card kinda reminds me of my dog, Winona," said AJ.

"Same here," said Applejack. "And this dog's gonna help me corral a win."

"If you say so," said AJ. "Your move."

Turn 20: Applejack

"I place one card face down," said Applejack. "I end ma turn."

Turn 21: AJ

"Then I draw," said AJ. "Yes! I play Full Force Strike! Now if I attack your dog, it'll be destroyed at the end of the battle. Attack!"

"No!" cried Applejack as her monster was destroyed.

"This is your last chance," said AJ. "Better make it count. I end ma turn."

Turn 22: Applejack

"I draw!" said Applejack. "I place one card face down and that's all. But now I can inflict damage again."

Turn 23: AJ

"Ma move," said AJ. "Just for the heck of it, I'll equip my Sunbird with Big Bang Shot. Now he can inflict piercing damage." (Crimson Sunbird ATK: 3800 – 4200) "Crimson Sunbird, let her have it!"

"I activate ma trap!" interrupted Applejack. "Enchanted Javelin! This card increases ma life points by the attack power of your huge chicken. First I gain the points, then I lose because of your attack. So basically, nothing happened to me."

Applejack LP: 4450

AJ LP: 400

Applejack LP: 250

AJ LP: 400

"Darn!" said AJ. "I thought I had ya for sure."

"Close, but no cigar," said Applejack. "But now I can activate ma favorite trap, The Golden Apples! Since I took damage from your attack, I can summon a token with that many points. Plus I gain life points equal to ma token's ATK power." (Malice Token ATK: 0 – 4200)

Applejack LP: 4450

AJ LP: 400

"Oh boy, this ain't good," said AJ. "But all I can do is end ma turn."

Turn 24: Applejack

"Then it's my turn!" said Applejack. "I summon Kozmo Farmgirl in attack mode. First ma token will attack your chicken."

"But they'll destroy each other," said AJ.

"Exactly," said Applejack. "Now there's plenty of room my Farmgirl. Now, attack her directly and end this duel already!"

"Ah!" cried AJ and Spike.

Applejack LP: 4450

AJ LP: 0


(Equestria)

"Applejack!" cried Princess Twilight. "Are you and Spike okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," answered AJ.

"Same here," added Spike.

"Whew," breathed the Princess. "I wonder how much power generated from that duel?"


(The human world)

"Our power levels are now at 52%!" said Twi.

"Alright!" said the girls.

"We're more than have way there," said Starlight. "Who's next?"


(Equestria)

Fluttershy raised her wing. "I am. Will you please help me, Spike?"

"Of course," said Spike. "I love this game. But I love helping my friends even more."

"Thank you, Spike," said Fluttershy as she gave him a quick hug. "I just hope my little monsters don't get hurt too much."


(The human world)

"Mine too," said Fluttershy.

"They're just cards, remember?" asked Sunset.

"Oh yeah," said Fluttershy. "When then, let's duel! I guess."


(Equestria)

"Let's do it!" said Spike. "Ready Flutts?"

"Flutts?" asked Fluttershy. "Oh, my nickname. Yeah… I guess I'm ready."


(The human world)

"Then let's get this game on!" said Twi.
