Episode 9: (Insert equine onomatopoeia here)

A/N: Sorry about the lack of updates, but I decided to take a quick break after uploaded Episode 8, and next thing I knew, so much time had passed, but don't worry, I'd never leave my readers hanging.

As we seen an image of Twilight Sparkle surrounded by cards, we heard some neighing, as subtitles translated it as, 'Previously on the Po-Ni-Oh...'

The cards cover the screen before uncovering to the mane characters at their campfire, as the bushes rustled, Pinkie and Derpy neighed, the subtitles showed they were asking, 'What is this new discordery?'

Luna walked out of the bushes, the mane cast neighed, translated to, 'Behold, it is the Luna!"

Pinkie neighed, subtitles showing she said, 'Hereupon, my fears are alleviated.'

As the characters were shown sitting around a tree stump, more neighing was heard, subtitles translating it to, 'Luna has been permitted the friendship.'

Twilight neighed, translated to 'You have a Millennium Item unexpectedly!'

Very different sounding neighing was heard, translated into English as 'Indeed, and with it's powers I make my coat darker and gain a black arua.' As this was neighed, the picture went ripply as Luna transformed into Nightmare Moon.

Pinkie neighed, which translated to, 'Poor weather conditions?'

The scene continued but no more subtitles appeared, with text appearing saying, 'I'm not getting paid enough for translating this, besides, you already know what they're saying from the previous episode.'

And an opening sequence played, the normal, sane Twilight put a deck of cards in a slot using her horn, next, she used her horn to swing a whip for no reason as a close-up of her Millenium Puzzle played, and there was a flash of light and we seen the 'Talk to the hoof' scene from Episode 1, and the shows logo appeared.

As a vision of all the Millennium Items appeared, Nightmare Moon explained, "Once I gain all seven Millennium Items, I shall use their vaguely established powers to make an everlasting night, but first, I'm going to beat you in a card game!"

"Not if I can help it, you alicorn darkpuff!" Twilight retorted, as she placed a card on the field, saying, "I summon the Cyber Commander, which by the way is Derpy's favourite monster, even though she never actually plays this game."

Ironically, the Cyber Commander appeared in the form of Derpy, who reacted, "What in Equestria? Am I dreaming or something?"

Twilight commented, "By the gods, that's exactly what I want to look like!"

Nightmare Moon then ordered, "White Magical Hat, send her Cyber Commander to the graveyard." as her White Magical Hat killed Derpy, not the voice, the entire pony.

"NO! DERPY!" Twilight cried out, "She was the finest mind of her generation!" Twilight then played another card, saying what it was, "I summon the Flame Swordsmare, AKA Pinkie's favourite monster."

In the same ironic fashion, Flame Swordsmare appeared as Pinkie, who asked, "Um, have I been sleepclopping to the trading cards I left under my pillow again?"

Twilight then stated what she had worked out based on what she's seen, "It seems that Luna has placed our souls within each of our favourite cards. Either that or she's turned you all into cosplayers."

"That foal of unmarried parents!" Pinkie reacted.

"By the way, Derpy's dead." Twilight told her friend.

"Wait, you mean Derpy as in, Derpy, Derpy." Pinkie questioned.

"Yes, it's the actual pony, not her voice." Twilight answered, she continued by explaining, "I also summon the Dark Magician." as an illusion of the normal, sane Twilight appeared in the Dark Magician's outfit.

Normal Twi commented, "I look slightly more ridiculous than usual... wait, I don't normally look ridiculous."

The other Twi then said what her next move was, "Now I activate, Reborn The Monster, to resurrect Derpy's original voice!"

Derpy reappeared, asking in her original voice, "Hey, what gives, I liked my new voice, ponies were starting to take me seriously."

"Sorry Derpy, but it's much easier to make fun of you this way." replied Twilight.

It was at this point Pinkie decided to ask the obvious question, "Wait a second, why are there two Twilight's?"

Normal!Twilight told her friends, "I'm not sure, but sometimes when I'm dueling, it feels like a powerful voice inside is telling me how to win."

"Yes, I've been helping her cheat!" the psychotic Twilight told the group, to stop an argument, before continuing, "Now I'll place Rainbow in face-down position."

"HEY!" shouted normal!Twilight, "That's what I wanted to say!"

Rainbow was too busy seeing she was dressed as Magician Of Loyalty to listen, before commenting about the outfit, "It needs to be about 20% Cooler™"

'Twilight was thinking about Rainbow's preference for Magician of Loyalty, 'If only she'd picked Dark Magician Filly. Mmm, Dark Magician Filly.'

Nightmare Moon then announced, "Good luck overcoming my Pony-Eating Bug!"

Dark Magician Twilight explained, "One of us is going to have to sacrifice ourselves in order to kill that monster!" She then said her choice, "I nominate Derpy."

"Second it!" Rainbow quickly responded.

But Pinkie ran forward telling Derpy not to worry, "I've always wanted to die while being a Duel Monster." As she disappeared, she shouted, "I REGRET NOTHHHIIIINNNNGGGG!"

Nightmare Moon continued to talk about her plan, "Soon I'll be the only character left. I've always wanted my own cartoon. I think I'll call it, 'Q & Pals'!"

Nightmare Moon then showed her opening sequence for Q & Pals, the theme song went, "Who's that crazy kook messing up Equestria? It's Discord! (That's me!) It's Q & Pals!"

In show, Nightmare Moon asked, "Discord, have you forgot our anniversary?... AGAIN!"

A laugh track played.

"Yes, I was too busy shrouding Equestria in chaos." replied Discord.

A laugh track played.

"I've ruined the lives of many ponies." he continued.

A laugh track played.

"That's my Discord!" Nightmare Moon finished.

The Q & Pals closing theme played. "The purity of Harmony will go without end. His name's Discord and he's messing up Equestria!"

Back in the real story, Nightmare Moon asked, "What do you think, kooky old lady?"

"That's... IT!" shouted the crazy Twilight, "Nopony compares me to Granny Smith, and gets away with it!" before slamming the tree stump with her hooves.

Suddenly, the Magician Of Loyalty card begin to glow and it's ATK and DEF were suddenly equal to Dark Magician. Dark Magician Twilight explained, "You've jammed the illusions and activated Rainbow's special ability, making her ATK and DEF points look completely inaccurate."

"Great!" the pyschotic Twilight exclaimed, "This also lets me recycle Reborn The Monster!"

Pinkie Pie was pulled out of the graveyard just in time, as she told the Reaper Of Cards, "Please don't kill me, we could have a party!" before being transported out and back to the field.

"It's okay, Pinkie." Dark Magician Twilight said, "My alter-ego brought you back to life with a spell card."

Nightmare Moon sighed, "How many times must you ponies die before you stay dead?" before showing a spell card.

"The Change Of Heart!" Dark Magician Twilight announced the name, "That's Luna's favourite card!"

"Yes," responded Nightmare Moon, "and with it, I'm going to turn you into a villain, that way, you'll know what it's like to have your plans foiled time by time by a group of card game obsessed morons!"

As Nightmare Moon placed the card on the table, an illusion appeared in the form of Luna. Dark Magician Twilight told her friends, "Look, it's the real Luna!"

Luna switched her position to a random monster, telling the others, "I've taken control of this mare's body in order to save you guys, and I don't mind telling you it feels bloody great!"

"By the gods, that's exactly what I want to look like!" Nightmare Moon commented.

The psychotic Twilight stated, "Conveniently, my Millennium Puzzle allows me to put souls back into their original bodies." as Luna and Nightmare Moon's souls swapped places.

Now a monster on the field, Nightmare Moon was annoyed, as she exclaimed, "How dare you defy me? Just wait until Discord hears about this!"

The psychotic Twilight announced, "FINISH HER!"

Dark Magician Twilight then used her Dark Magic Attack, announcing, "Super Special Awesome Attack!"

As she disappeared, Nightmare Moon shouted, "Oh bugger me!" As she teleported to the graveyard, she shouted to nopony, "I shall be a mane character, even if it takes me another 200 bloody episodes!"

The rest of the cast were back in their real bodies, as Luna commented, "I say, that storyline made a lot more sense in the original manga."

Twilight asked, "Where did you get your evil ring from, Luna?"

Luna explained, "My son bought it in another kingdom where he wanted to purchase some Blue Blood dye."

Pinkie woke up, telling her friends, "I had the most unbelievable dream, there were two Twilights, and Luna was a mane character."

Rainbow told them, "I usually enjoy dreams that involve two Twilights, but this one was very disappointing."

Far in the distance, Rarity was heard saying, "My glasses are in danger!"

"Sounds like the story for the next episode." Commented Twilight, "Come on gang, let's go see what it is!"

(End of episode)

A/N: I might not be able to update as fast(Like I was going fast anyway), as CardGamesFTW was took down from Youtube, and episode 10 is one of the episodes I haven't downloaded. Either way, I chose the name Q & Pals as Discord is voiced by the same guy who voiced the character Q in Star Trek, as we see mentioned everywhere. Next time, I will ponyfy a bonus video, which has a cameo from a certain mare who be very loudmouthed when she's introduced properly.
