"Andrew, we should get moving." Twilight said. It had been a long day at school and she was ready to go.
"Just as soon as Shining gets here with your duffel. I can't believe you forgot it. You never forget anything." Andrew replied, stroking Spike.
Shining pulled up and handed Twilight the duffel in question. "Have fun tonight. I'll see you tomorrow Twily." Twilight hit her brother playfully as he drove off with Cadence in the passenger seat.
"I think she'll be spending the night at our place." Twilight sighed.
"Yeah, but let's face it, they've got it bad for eachother." Andrew said, picking Spike up off his shoulder and hooking his leash, the three walked off, never noticing Sombra watching them go.
...
"Finish her!" the game said. Andrew punched a few buttons and pulled Frost's head off. "Kitana wins, Fatality."
"Nice one Twi, you almost had me. Two more hits and I would be the one losing a head." Andrew said, putting the controller down. "Want a snack?" he asked, heading toward the pizza box. "I'm taking some for Time, he could use a snack after all the work he's been doing." Andrew put a few pieces onto a plate and walked to the end of the hall. A few minutes later, Andrew smiled as he saw Twilight asleep with Spike in her arms. "11 o'clock, after going back and forth for four hours, it's a wonder she didn't pass out earlier." careful not to wake her, Andrew picked Twilight up and carried her to his room, covering her and snatching his stuffed dogs. Andrew layed on the couch and closed his eyes.
...
Andrew was walking down the halls of Crystal prep, Twilight in tow. Shadows immediately covered the hall and Twilight disappeared. "Twi!" Andrew called. "Twilight!" he heard laughing.
"Did you think you could really protect her?" Sombra's voice rang out. "You have no idea what it will take. You are weak. You will never be able to protect her."
"NO!" Andrew shouted, "You're wrong. You're wrong!" Andrew sat bolt upright, Twilight shaking him. "Twi, I didn't wake you did I?" he asked.
"No, I woke up a while ago. And I can sleep on the couch once in a while." Twilight replied, crossing her arms.
"I get it all the time. You deserve something comfy to sleep on and I really don't mind." Andrew shook the sleep out and smiled. "So, can't sleep, huh?" Twilight shook her head. "Well, we can always practice our dueling."
"Okay, want to use the disks?" Andrew shook his head.
"Let's just use the table." both pulled out their decks.
"Duel."
Andrew:8000
Twilight:8000
"Ladies first." Andrew insisted.
"That's not the reason, but okay" Twilight drew. "I summon Gogogo Golem in defense mode(DEF:1500). Then I'll play two cards facedown and end my turn."
"My move. First I play Burden of the Mighty, now all your monsters lose 100 attack points times their level. Then I play Onslaught of the Fire kings which lets me summon Fire King High Avatar Garunix(ATK:2700) attack Gogogo golem with phoenix flare!"
"You forgot, my golem can negate its destruction once per turn while in defense mode."
"I end my turn, which means my Fire King is destroyed."
"My move, I draw. I summon Gogogo Ghost(ATK:1900-1500), then I overlay level four Gogogo Golem and Gogogo Ghost in order to Xyz summon Number 39:Utopia(ATK:2500-2100). Direct attack."
Andrew:8000-5900
"I end my turn."
"My move, I draw. First my Fire King(ATK:2700) returns and destroys every other monster on the field." Twilight moved her cards to the graveyard. "Next, I play Fusion Gate. Now we can fusion summon by removing our monsters from play. Now I summon Pursuit Chaser(DEF:600). Fire King, Direct attack!"
Twilight:8000-5300
"I end my turn."
"My move, I draw." Okay Twilight, think. If I use Acorno's effect I can summon Utopia Roots, but if I use Monster reborn and summon Giant I can summon Shock Master. Wait! Acorno's effect makes it a special summon, I can do both! "Here we go, first I activate Mystical space Typhoon to destroy your burden, then I send Pineco to my graveyard to summon Acorno(ATK:200), and now I can special summon Pinco(ATK:200-100), then I play Monster Reborn to summon Gogogo Ghost(ATK:1900). Next, I summon Gogogo Giant(ATK:2000) and use his effect to bring back Gogogo Golem(ATK:1800-1400). I overlay my level four monsters in order to Xyz summon Number 16: Shock Master(ATK:2300). Then I overlay level one Acorno and Pineco in order to Xyz summon Number 39: Utopia Roots(ATK:500). Shock Master, attack Pursuit Chaser."
"Bad move, when Chaser is on the field, you take 500 points of damage every time a defense monster is destroyed."
"Whoops."
Twilight:5300-4800
"I end my turn."
"My move then, Divine Dragon Apocralyph in defense mode(DEF:1500). Fire King attack Utopia Roots, Phoenix Flare."
"I play Utopia's effect, I can discard an overlay unit, negate your attack, and gain 500 points for each of your level points(ATK:500-4500)."
"Whoops. I end my turn."
"My move. I think Utopia Roots will attack your Avatar. Rooted Sun Slash!"
Andrew:5900-4100
"Next, Shock Master will attack Divine Dragon. I end my turn."
"My move. I play a card facedown and summon this in defense mode. That ends my turn."
"My move then. I play Goblindbergh(ATK:1400) and by switching him to defense mode I can summon Ganbara Knight (ATK:0). Utopia attack."
"My card is Winged Kuriboh. Now I take no damage for the rest of the turn."
"I end my turn."
"My move." Andrew looked at his hand and sighed. "You win." Andrew displayed his hand to show two Photon Caesars and a Terraforming, then flipped his facedown to reveal a Dragon Capture Jar. "Nice Job, you out dueled me."
"Yeah, but I still don't think I can repeat something like that against a deck I don't know anything about." Twilight said, picking up her cards.
"Just play like you did with me, no way we'll lose." Andrew replied.
...
Shining Armor picked Twilight up the next morning. "Andrew," Twilight called just as he turned. "I'll do it. We can win." Andrew smiled and gave a thumbs up.
"See you tomorrow."he said as Shining started the car.
One of the two duel scenes in this story. If you know some deck types I can use against us, please tell me. Twilight was using a variation of Yuma's deck from Zexal. I use a customized Counterattack deck.
