(Midterms; Day 2)
Today is Tuesday, and the second day of the midterms. Once again, the Rainbooms, except Rainbow Dash, were having lunch in the cafeteria. Rarity looked behind her and noticed a couple of kids walking a bit slower than usual... again.
Rarity: Girls? Are any of you getting the sense of deja vu?
Pinkie Pie: Nope.
Applejack: Uh-uh!
Twilight: Not me.
Fluttershy: Why do you ask, Rarity?
Rarity: Because it feels as though yesterday is repeating itself.
The girls looked around the cafeteria and noticed the tired students.
Sunset: I see what you mean, Rarity, but I can assure you that this is a new day.
AJ pointed at Rainbow Dash.
Applejack: Now there's some deja vu right there!
Rainbow Dash took a seat at the table, rested her chin onto the tabletop, and groaned. She moved her pupils to the left and looked at her friends.
Rainbow Dash: Heeeeeeeey!
Twilight rolled her eyes and shook her head with a smile.
Twilight: Pinkie Pie, you know what to do.
Pinkie happily typed onto her laptop.
Pinkie Pie: Already on it, Twilight.
Rainbow raised her arms up with her chin still on the table.
Rainbow Dash: Yaaaaaaaay!
The girls chuckled.
Sunset: Alright, girls. That's enough lunch for today. Let's get the next episode over with... for Rainbow's sake.
Rainbow happily teared up.
Rainbow Dash: Thank you, girls.
The girls gathered around Pinkie Pie.
Pinkie Pie: Alright. Here we go.
After pressing play, the episode started with a purple silhouette of Yami Yugi while the classic Capcom sound played.
"Fair play, Fair duel"
The girls giggled.
Sunset: Well that's new.
Yugi: (Thought) My grandpa's deck has served me well. But if I'm going to beat Pegasus, I'm going to have to remember everything Gramps ever taught me about card games.
A flashback began.
Solomon: Playing card games is just like making love. You usually do it on a table, and you always feel deep shame when it's finished. Also, the older you get, the less fun it is. So remember, always wear a condom when playing card games.
The Rainbooms couldn't believe what they just heard. They were silent and stared at the screen with widened eyes and dropped jaws.
Yugi: (Thought) Hmm. I should probably wash my hands before using these.
Pinkie Pie paused the video, and with their mouths closed, the girls were looking red as tomatoes.
Sunset: Wow! That's... some way... to start an episode.
Applejack: When it comes to this show, we don't see a lot of things comin'.
Twilight: Do we really have to say "coming" at a time like this?
The girls thought about it and shuddered.
Rarity: Okay... let's all... try our best to move on from, eh... that!
The girls muttered and nodded in agreement before Pinkie played the video.
Rammstein's song "Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen?" played during the title sequence.
Rainbow Dash: Aw yeah!
Rainbow started rockin' out while the others giggled.
Rainbow Dash: Now that was a good title sequence!
Croquet: The final round of the Duelist Kingdom tournament shall now commence. Will Yugi Muto please enter the duel arena?
Yami Yugi enters the arena.
"You're the Best"
"Around"
The girls happily gasped.
"Nothing's gonna ever keep you down"
"You're the Best"
"Around"
The girls couldn't help but laugh at the scene.
Applejack: Now that was mighty impressive!
Fluttershy: That was so... awesome!
Sunset: I love how serious the Pharaoh looked while the music was playing.
Rainbow Dash: If only Twilight and the rest of Crystal Prep showed up to our school like this during the Friendship Games. Can you imagine if they did?
The Rainbooms thought long about it.
The Rainbooms: Yeeeaah!
They returned to watching the show after Pinkie pressed play.
Tristan: I'm bored.
Joey: Hush, Tristan. This crappy tournament will be over soon.
Tea: Hey, Joey, let's ditch Tristan and Bakura.
Joey: Duh, okay.
Joey and Tea walked away while the Rainbooms began snickering.
Bakura: I can't believe they just ditched us like that! I mean, you'd have to be a total jerk to walk out on someone when-
Tristan starts running away.
Bakura: Hey, where are you going?
Tristan: I'm ditching you too, because you smell. Bye!
The girls laughed while Rarity scoffed.
Rarity: He does not smell!
While her friends were busy laughing, Rarity sniffed herself a little.
Rarity: And it is a good thing I don't either.
Yami Bakura: (Thought) Run while you can, mortal. Soon, I will rule the world.
The girls gasped in shock.
Yami Bakura: (Thought) And then we'll see who smells... it'll be you.
Fluttershy was looking nervous.
Fluttershy: Oh no. It's... him!
Rainbow Dash: Figures he'd show up again.
Twilight: What do you think he's up to this time?
Sunset: Maybe we should keep watching to find out.
Pegasus starts entering the arena while "March & Fanfare" plays in the background.
Croquet: And now, introducing the creator of card games! Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you, Mr. Maximillion Pegasus!
The girls shook their heads.
Pinkie Pie: Meh, I like the Pharaoh's entrance music better.
Rainbow Dash: I second that one?
Pegasus: Excellent. Soon, my evil plan to steal an object from a small child will be complete.
Yami: You mean you arranged this whole tournament just to steal my Millennium Puzzle?
Pegasus: Exactly.
Yami: Did you even consider just asking me for it?
The Rainbooms looked surprised.
Sunset: Say what now?
Rarity: Ask for it?
Yami: I mean, do you have any idea how much time and money you've wasted with this whole facade?
The Pharaoh pointed at Pegasus.
Yami: People have died because you wanted a necklace! I killed a gay clown, for Ra's sake!
Pegasus: Look, are you going to play a children's card game with me or not?
Yami: I suppose I might as well.
Sunset facepalmed and shook her head.
Sunset: Was he really willing to give up his puzzle just like that... even if Pegasus did ask?
She chuckled.
Sunset: I seriously doubt that.
Inside the dungeon, Tristan was wearing a knight's suit of armor.
Tristan: This heavy suit of armor is perfect for sneaking around!
Tristan was making some heavy clanking noises as he walks.
Guard 1: Did I hear something just now? Nah. Must've been the wind. Yeah, that's definitely the sound that wind makes.
The Rainbooms giggled.
Rainbow Dash: People do say that a lot on TV. Don't know why they even bother blaming the wind... when they should seize it instead.
The others turned to Rainbow Dash.
Applejack: Seizing the wind?
Pinkie Pie: What does that mean?
Rainbow Dash: No clue. I dunno why I even said that.
The girls shrugged.
Tristan: My voice gives me super strength!
He knocks the guard unconscious.
Tristan: But it also helps that I'm wearing a suit of armor.
Tristan discovered Mokuba in a nearby cell.
Tristan: Hey, it's Mokuba! If I rescue him, then I'll be a hero, and Joey's bootylicious sister will be all over me! Score!
The Rainbooms' eyes were bulging out of their heads as they stared at the computer screen.
Sunset: That was waaaaay too much information!
Pinkie Pie: (Thought) It's a good thing "my" Tristan cares about me.
The rest of the girls thought about the word "Bootylicious."
The Rainbooms: (Thought) I hate that word so much!
Croquet's cell phone was ringing in his front pocket.
Croquet: Yes, what is it?
Guard 2: There's been a breach! Mokuba Kaiba has escaped!
Croquet: I thought I told you never to call me at this number.
Sunset and Twilight raised their eyebrows.
Guard 2: But I miss you! It feels like we've grown so far apart!
The girls widened their eyes.
Croquet: That's because I don't love you anymore.
Now the Rainbooms had their jaws dropped.
Fluttershy: Out of all the things in this show that I didn't see coming, I think the opening scene takes the cake.
Pinkie shook her head.
Pinkie Pie: Hold on. Do you girls think Bakura's ring was pointing to this guy and not Pegasus in episode eleven?
The Rainbooms gave it some thought.
Twilight: I'd say it was pointing at both of them.
The girls nodded in agreement.
Yami Bakura: (Thought) Sounds like Tristan found Mokuba. I think I'll pay him a little visit.
The evil Bakura chuckles as he walks away.
Joey: Where do you think you're going, limey boy?
Yami Bakura: Um... I have to go do British things. Like... drink cups of tea and eat Bangers and Mash. That sort of thing... because I'm British.
Joey: Oh, okay.
The Rainbooms chuckled, epecially Rarity who blushed.
Tea: Look, I think something exciting is happening!
Yami: Blah blah, card games, blah.
Pegasus: Blah blah blah, attack mode, blah.
Yami: Blah blah blah?
Pegasus: Blaaahhh!
Tea: Oops. My mistake.
The girls chuckled yet again.
Rainbow Dash: What was that all about?
Rarity giggled.
Rarity: How droll!
Inside the Dungeon...
Guard 3: We've got you surrounded. Now give the boy to us.
Tristan: Over Mokuba's dead body!
The girls tried so hard to cover their laughter.
Yami Bakura: Lay one finger on the boy and you mortals will rue the day you were ever born.
Tristan: Bakura, don't be a hero! They have invisible guns!
The two guards pointed their "invisible guns" at Bakura.
Guard 4: And we're not afraid to use them!
Rainbow Dash: (Sarcasm) Oh nooo! The invisible guns are back! What ever shall we doooo?
The girls chuckled at Rainbow's sarcasm once again.
Yami Bakura: Well, I have something far more powerful than invisible guns.
Guard 4: There's no such thing.
Yami Bakura: Why don't you see for yourself then?
He magically activates a card to trap the two guards.
Guard 4: Well, whaddaya know? He was right.
Guard 3: Now I just feel silly.
Rarity: Yes, but what's even sillier is simply pointing at people and claiming you have an invisible gun in your hand.
Fluttershy nodded.
Fluttershy: Mhm.
Tristan looked back at Yami Bakura.
Tristan: Bakura! I had no idea you were Spider-Man!
The Rainbooms: Spider-Man!?
Pinkie Pie: Hehehe. It's funny! I just made a Spider-Man reference during our last sleepover. Remember?
The girls chatted in agreement.
Yami Bakura: That's because I'm not. Now, follow me. We have to get out of here.
Tristan: You mean... you're not Spider-Man?
Yami Bakura: No, I'm no... Okay, yes, I'm Spider-Man. Happy? Now will you just follow me?
Tristan: Hooray! I'm friends with Spider-Man!
The girls had a good laugh out of that.
Sunset: Just how does LittleKuriboh do it? How is it he keeps bringing the laughs?
Rainbow Dash: No idea. But one thing is for certain.
Twilight: What's that?
Rainbow Dash: The jokes in this show will never get old. I'm serious.
The girls agreed before playing the video.
Pegasus: Introducing the fabulous Toon Summoned Skull!
Pegasus's monster appears and winks at Yami while "You Make Me Feel" plays in the background.
Yami: It's like something out of HP Lovecraft... only gay!
The girls just stared at the screen again.
Rainbow Dash: I... have no comments at this time.
Fluttershy: Neither do I.
Applejack: Nnnope!
Tristan and Bakura were running up some stairs while Tristan was singing.
"Is he strong? Listen, bud"
Pinkie smiled and decided to sing along.
"He's got radioactive blood"
The rest of the girls joined in.
"Look out"
"There goes the Spider-Man"
Yami Bakura: Oh, stop it!
The girls quickly shut their mouths.
Pegasus: You can't possibly win, Yugi-boy. With my Millennium Eye, I can see into the very recesses of your mind, showing me every card in your deck.
Fluttershy: Wow! He really is a big stinky cheater.
The girls giggled.
Yugi: He's right. We can't win like this. Our only hope is to switch minds. That way, he won't be able to predict our strategy.
Yami: Couldn't I just Mind Crush him?
Yugi: You can't fix all your problems by Mind Crushing people.
Yami: Oh, come on. Just one little Mind Crush. It'll barely hurt him.
Yugi: No! Bad Pharaoh! No Mind Crush!
Yami: You never let me have my way, do you?
The Rainbooms laughed.
Sunset: So now he's treating the Pharaoh like some little puppy? Hehehe.
Pegasus: And now, I'm going to take this duel to the Shadow Realm!
Using the power of his Millennium Eye, Pegasus brought himself and the Yugi twins to the Shadow Realm.
Yami: See? This wouldn't be happening if I had just Mind Crushed him.
Yugi: Listen, mister. Do you need a time-out?
The girls had another good laugh.
Sunset: First Yugi treats the Pharaoh like a dog, and now he's treating him like some little kid? Just what has this show come to?
Yami Bakura: Hand over the boy, Tristan, or I'll swallow your soul!
Tristan: But... why?
Yami Bakura: Ever since Yugi defeated me in a duel, I've been looking for a new body. One without a soul. Mokuba's should do just fine.
The Rainbooms gasped in shock.
Rarity: Oh no, he is not! I know he is not thinking what I think he is thinking... I think.
Fluttershy: The Evil Bakura's trying to take little Mokuba's body!
Pinkie Pie: Well, there's no way my, uh, our hero, Tristan, will let that happen.
Pinkie played the video.
Tristan: But... why?
Yami Bakura: Because I'm evil!
Tristan: But... why?
Yami Bakura: I don't know. I'm just evil! What do you expect?
Tristan: But... why?
The girls snickered and smirked.
Yami Bakura: Well, I suppose my parents never loved me enough. They were always dressing me like a girl.
The girls widened their eyes and stared at the screen.
Yami Bakura: Do you know they wanted to call me Florence? Who names a boy Florence? Idiots, that's who! And I'll tell you another thing.
Tristan: Look out! Flying Mokuba!
He throws Mokuba at Bakura.
Yami Bakura: What the deuce?
Tristan struck Yami Bakura from behind.
Tristan: My voice knows kung fu!
Yami Bakura: Oh, bugger.
After the evil Bakura fell to the ground, the Rainbooms cheered for Tristan.
Rainbow Dash: Way to go, Tristan!
Twilight: Woo-hoo!
Pinkie Pie: (Thought) That's my Tristan!
Tristan: And now to defeat the evil villain once and for all by throwing him carelessly in a random direction. Go, Millennium Frisbee!
Tristan tossed the Millennium Ring into the forest.
Yami Bakura: Noooooooooooooo... twinkle.
Tristan: I'm bored again.
The girls laughed and applauded for Tristan.
Rainbow Dash: Nice.
Tea: My nipples are sensing that Yugi is in great peril.
Joey: Mine too!
The girls felt uneasy and cringed.
Tristan: Hey, guys, you'll never guess what I've been doing!
Joey: We don't care.
Rarity scoffed.
Rarity: Talk about rude.
Twilight nodded.
Pegasus: Your mind shuffle strategy won't work against me here, Yugi-boy. That weak body of yours can't survive in the Shadow Realm.
Yugi: He's right. I can feel my life force being drained away. It's like I'm watching an Uwe Boll movie. Spirit, you have to take over for me. I'm too weak.
The Rainbooms looked very worried for Yugi, mostly Fluttershy.
Yami: Oh, come on. You can take him.
Yugi: No, really. I think I might be dying here.
Yami: Don't be such a drama queen.
Yugi: Spirit... tell Tea... I love her...
The Rainbooms gasped and shed a few tears as Yugi collapsed.
The Rainbooms: Yugi!
Fluttershy clenched a fist over her heart.
Fluttershy: No...
Yami: No! Yugi! You can't be dead! If you were dead, then 4Kids would've censored it! Yugi! Yugi!
The song "Bright Eyes" by Art Garfunkel plays along with a montage of Yugi.
The girls showed more tears as they felt their hearts. Fluttershy released even more tears as she closed her eyes shut.
Fluttershy: Yugi...
The montage suddenly stopped.
Tea: Holy crap!
Joey: Nyeh!
Tristan: I'm hungry!
The Rainbooms fell down anime style. They soon got back up and wiped their tears.
Sunset: Way to ruin the moment!
Joey: I felt a disturbance. As if Yugi cried out in terror, and was suddenly silenced.
Tea: He needs our help! Remember the friendship pact we made in the first episode?
Tristan: How could we forget? It took weeks to get that stuff off my hand.
The girls giggled before putting their hands in like Yugi's friends.
Tea: Yugi, wherever you are, we believe in you!
Fluttershy: Yes, we do!
Joey: Never give up, no matter what happens!
Rainbow Dash: That's telling him!
Tristan: And could you possibly bring me something to eat? Maybe some French fried potatoes.
Twilight and Applejack: Not helping, Tristan!
Pegasus: (Thought) Poor Pharaoh-boy. Without Yugi, your mind is an open book. Now, let's see what card you're holding.
The Rainbooms pretended to be there for Yugi along with Yugi's friends.
Pegasus: (Thought) What in the name of Liberace is happening? Yugi's friends! They're stopping me from reading his mind! This is inconceivable, not to mention extremely cheesy!
Tea: Pegasus! You'll never understand the importance of friendship!
Twilight: The magic of friendship is more powerful than you could ever understand.
Joey: As long as Yugi has us, he'll always have the strength to fight!
Sunset: And he'll never give up on what he fights for!
Tristan: I'm just here for the food!
Pinkie Pie giggled as the girls retreated their hands.
Rarity: Aaand the moment's ruined... again.
Yami: And now, I summon LittleKuriboh Impostors!
Pinkie Pie: LittleKuriboh Impostors?
The girls chuckled.
Applejack: Now that was mighty clever!
Pegasus: No! There's so many of them! I can't tell which one is the original.
Yami: And that means you'll never be able to watch the abridged series ever again.
Rainbow Dash: Say what!?
The girls laughed again.
Pegasus: No! I can't live without Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series. It's so important to me.
Yami: Don't worry, Pegasus. There's always Naruto The Abridged Series. But as everyone knows, that's just not quite as good.
Pegasus: Oh, noooooooooooooo!
The girls cheered for Yugi and Yami's victory over Pegasus.
Twilight: So wait. There's a Naruto Abridged Series?
Pinkie Pie: Of course, Twilight. I found a lot of abridged parodies on the internet. There's Dragon Ball Z abridged, My Hero Academia abridged, and even a short-lived unfinished Powerpuff Girls Z abridged.
Rainbow Dash: As interesting as these shows sound, I think we'll stick with Yu-Gi-Oh... at least for now.
The girls agreed before returning to the show.
Joey: Yug, you won! I mean, you really-
Tea: Back off, he's mine!
The girls had a good laugh while Fluttershy looked away with a pout look.
Fluttershy: Hmph!
Tea: Um, Yugi, I just have this one thing to say. "Did you ever know that you're my heeerooo"
Yugi: Yeah, thanks, Tea. Anyway, we should probably go-
Tea: "'Cause you are the wind beneath my wiiings"
There was a short pause.
Tea: Okay, I'm done.
Yugi: Let's go rescue Grandpa!
The girls had a good laugh after that.
Bakura: Hey! How the bloody Hell did I get up here? And what in the name of buggery happened to my Millennium Ring?
Tristan: I threw it away because it was evil.
Bakura: That was a prized family heirloom, you giant wanker!
The girls couldn't help but laugh.
Rarity: I so love it when he says that.
Tristan: But it was evil! If Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees got married and had a baby, your ring would be the baby!
The Rainbooms cringed at the thought about Freddy and Jason.
Rainbow Dash: No, no, no! Uh-uh! We do not need that visual.
Joey: Freddy would never marry Jason! Besides, Freddy's already married... to his job.
Pinkie Pie: Soooo... his job's the bride, or...
The girls chuckled and shook their heads.
Yami Bakura: (Thought) Now that Pegasus is weakened by his duel with Yugi, it'll be the perfect opportunity to steal his Millennium Eye!
The Rainbooms gasped in shock.
Rarity: The evil Bakura is back once again. And he's taken over my precious Bakura!
Applejack: And lookie there. He's wearin' that darn ring again.
Sunset: But how? We clearly saw Tristan getting rid of it.
Yami Bakura: (Thought) By the way, if you're wondering how I managed to get my ring back, then I'm just as confused as you are!
Twilight: Great. Not even he knows how he got his ring back.
Rarity: Oh, darlings. The answer is quite simple.
Applejack: What's that, Rarity?
Rarity: Anime!
The Rainbooms: Oooohhh! Riiiiight!
Pinkie Pie: I don't believe you!
Yami Bakura: (Thought) Watch out, Pegasus! Florence is back!
The girls giggled.
Sunset: I thought he didn't like the name Florence!
Rainbow Dash: Things change in unexpected ways, I guess.
The Spider-Man theme plays as the episode ends, which caused the girls to smirk.
[that's the last time you'll ever see tristan do anything]
Pinkie Pie: Hey! Tristan can be very useful! He beat an evil spirit all by himself.
The other girls chuckled.
Priest Seto: You threaten my people with slavery and death!
Guard: This is madness!
Rainbow Dash turned to her friends and nodded.
Priest Seto: Madness?
The girls nodded at Rainbow Dash before turning back to the computer screen.
The Rainbooms and Priest Seto: THIS... IS... SPARTA!
The girls had a good laugh out of that.
Twilight: Thanks for pointing that out, Rainbow Dash!
Rainbow Dash: You're welcome.
RD shrugged.
Rainbow Dash: I just couldn't resist!
Guard 3: I told you we should've used the visible guns, but noooooo! You had to have the invisible guns because they're magical and oooohhh...
Guard 4: Yeah, way to kick a guy while he's down, Greg. Maybe if we had an invisible tank...
Guard 3: Oh, shut up! Just shut up!
As the episode ended, the Rainbooms laughed and applauded.
Twilight: Another episode finished.
Applejack: Ah can't believe we shouted, "This... is... Sparta." Hehehehe!
Pinkie Pie: I liked the part where we sung the Spider-Man song.
Fluttershy wiped a bit of a tear from her eye.
Fluttershy: I'm just so happy that Yugi was okay in the end.
Rarity: We all are, Fluttershy!
Rainbow Dash: And I can't wait to see what happens next. Play the next episode, will ya?
Sunset: Uh, Rainbow?
Rainbow deadpanned with a smile.
Rainbow Dash: I know. I know.
After the students finished the second half of the school day, the final bell rung and everybody exited the building and started going home. Rainbow let out a sigh.
Rainbow Dash: Two midterm days down, three more to go. See ya girls tomorrow!
After saying their goodbyes, the Rainbooms went their separate ways. Fluttershy stopped walking and looked up at the sky with a smile.
Fluttershy: (Thought) I'm glad you're okay, Yugi.
Fluttershy happily skipped her way home while humming a song.
Down below, in Hell, Freddy Krueger was growling in anger.
Freddy: Rainbooms! You may have forgotten about me already, but soon everybody will fear me, and I will return to the surface world. MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Freddy's phone started ringing.
Freddy: Huh. Who this?
He took out his phone and answered it.
Freddy: Hello?
It was Jason Voorhees on the other line. As a zombie, he can't speak. So he's tapping his machete on something to speak morse code.
Jason: (Hello, Freddy. Long time, no see.)
Freddy: Dammit, Jason. I thought I told you to never call me at this number again.
Jason: (But I can't help it. I miss you! It feels like we've grown so far apart!)
Freddy: That's because I don't love you. I never loved you. That one night stand was a mistake and I'm not gay. And another thing. That one time. That ONE time when I told you that our fight in our crossover movie was a turn-on for me: I WAS LYING!
Freddy hung up by throwing his phone onto the floor. He then picked up his phone right off the floor.
Freddy: MOSTLY!
He threw his phone onto the floor again. Freddy went over to his window, placed his hand over the glass, and started crying.
Author's Note: Apologies if I took so long with this new chapter. I've been busy. I have some news to break down to you all. The next duel will be after the episode "Dirty Dueling." It's gonna take place inside Applejack's dream, which means Mako Tsunami will be dueling.
I know Mako is a minor character, but he can be a great duelist if he had an awesome Water/Umi deck. If anybody has an awesome Umi deck for Mako that'll up his game, insert it in the comments please. You can even add WATER-attribute Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Monsters to his Extra Deck.
As for which Yu-Gi-Oh character will be dueling Mako, here's a hint: Applejack.
