"Let's check it out." Andrew lead as they all ran out to the front courtyard. Discord hadn't lied, there was an orange coated earth pony calling Andrew out.

"So, you are the one I have been sent to deal with. I am called the Hero. Which one will duel me first?" Andrew stepped forward.

"I'll take you, Night King Transformation! Star-wing disk, engaged!" Andrew transformed with practiced ease.

"Let's Duel!"

Andrew:8000

Hero:8000

"I'll start," Hero hissed, "With the field spell Soul Arena-Inferno Fire!" the flaming ring appeared. "I play my Polymerization to fuse my Elemental hero Avian and Burstinatrix to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wing-man(ATK:2100-2400)! I end my turn."

A Grimoire with an Elemental hero deck, this should be fun. Andrew thought as he drew. "I summon Tour guide from the Underworld(ATK:1000) and use her ability to summon my Sangan(ATK:1000). Next I overlay the two of them to summon Number 20: Giga-Brilliant(ATK:1800). I end my turn with one facedown."

"My turn. I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman(ATK:1600-1900). Attack Giga-Brilliant."

"I play Giga-Brilliant's ability, by discarding one overlay unit, I can increace all my monster's attack points by 300(ATK:1800-2100). Number 20 counter-attack."

Hero:8000-7800

"Next, since my Sangan went to the graveyard, I can add one monster to my hand with 1500 or less attack points." Andrew added a Rescue Rabbit to his hand.

"I end my turn with one facedown." Hero snapped.

"My turn. I play one card facedown and play Giga-Brilliant's ability(ATK:2100-2400). I end my turn."

"What is he thinking?" Matt snapped.

"It seems obvious to me." A white-haired girl appeared.

"Maiden, what do you mean?" Matt asked.

"Just watch."

"My turn. I summon Elemental Hero Synchron(ATK:1000-1300). That will be all for now."

"My move. I play Ookazi."

Hero:7800-7000

"Giga-Brilliant, attack." Synchron exploded. "That's my turn."

"My move. I summon Elemental Hero Lady Heat(ATK:1300-1600). I play Hero Bond to summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman(ATK:800-1100) and Heat(1600-1900-2700). I end my turn, which means Heat Lady deals you 200 points for every Elemental Hero on my field, and I count four. So I hit you for 800 points."

Andrew:8000-7200

"My turn," Andrew drew and thought, I need to get rid of Heat Lady and Heat. Heat's Attack boost depends on how many Elemental Heros are on the field, so if I take down the others, I can drain that bastard. "Okay, I attack with Giga-Brilliant. Destroy the Heat Lady."

Hero:7000-6200

"Next I sacrifice my Giga-Brilliant to summon Vanity's Fiend. Now your Heat's attack points drop(ATK:2700-2500). Now Vanity, attack Bubbleman."

Hero:6200-5000

"Your Heat loses another 200(ATK:2500-2300). I end my turn."

"My move, I play Monster Reborn in order to resummon my Heat Lady(ATK:1300-1600). My Heat gets his boost(ATK:2300-2500), and I Sacrifice Flame Wing-man, Heat, and Heat Lady."

"But why? Wait a minute, three monster sacrifice? Uh-oh." Andrew looked to the sky to see which one he was dealing with.

"I summon Obelisk the Tormentor(ATK:4000-4300)!" he grinned, "Go Fist of Fury."

Andrew:7200-5300

"That ends my turn." Andrew breathed hard and drew.

"My move. I summon Rescue Rabbit(ATK:300) now I play his ability, and banish him to summon my Shining Angels(ATK:1400 x2). Next I overlay them both. I summon Starliege Paladynamo(ATK:2000). I play his ability. By discarding two overlay units, I can drain your monster's attack points to 0 and negate his effects. Go Star Saber Drain!" Starliege pointed his sword at Obelisk(ATK:4300-0). "I equip Megamorph to double Starliege's attack points(ATK:2000-4000). Star Saber Slash!"

Hero:5000-1000

"Now I sacrifice my Starliege to summon my Flame Champion(ATK:1900)! Finish this, Flame Shield Strike!" Flame appeared in Starliege's place and struck Hero.

Hero:1000-0

Andrew watched as the seal closed in. "Sorry, but this is what you get." he hissed as the seal did it's work and vanished. Andrew collected the deck and held it to Twilight, "You better keep this, they might come after you next." Twilight nodded and took the deck.

"Well, that went badly." the mare said, turning from the pool to the mirror. "Maybe I should deal with Andrew." she said.

"No Talia. Send some more powerful agents to defeat him, send Tarlock when he returns. Until then, target the other two." Nightmare ordered. Talia nodded.

So now you know Talia's name, and the next duel with me. Fun fact: I actually played my deck on my turns in this chapter. You know, drew, shuffled, and played with my deck by the computer. DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!
