Chapter 8: Spectrum
Hope slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room. Her and her friends had fallen asleep in their hotel room, with Hope ending upon the couch. Dusk had ended up curled up on some blankets and was holding onto a signed poster of Sweetie Belle. Daring Dash was on a chair and Blitz was under it. The Pie Twins were in the only bed that the adults weren't in. The reason for this was simple, Cherry got night terrors if she wasn't in a real bed and still got them half the time. Cinnamon was the only one who could calm her down.
Hope tried to sit up but found Turvy on top of her. Hope put her mouth up to her marefriend's ear and gently blew. Turvy shot up and said, "I'm up! I'm up!"
Hope kissed Turvy and the half Draconequus floated upwards. Hope rolled the floor just as Zach came through the door to the adjacent room.
"Good morning everypony," Zach said, waking the others up, "Today is our last day in Manehatten and we should get to some of the sights."
The others slowly got up, with Daring sleepily asking, "What day is it?"
"Sunday," Blitz replied. The twins' eyes widened, "Sunday!"
The twins began to fly around the room, creating two rainbow trails as they picked up the trash and their saddlebags.
"What's going on?" Dusk asked.
Blitz stopped in front of Dusk with a frown on his face, "Today Hyper Streak is in town!"
Everyponies' eyes widened. Hyper Streak was an old pony who used to be captain of the Wonderbolts. After turbo dueling was released he took it up and became one of the best.
"Hmn," Zach said, "I didn't realize he was here. I guess you want to duel him?"
"Exactly," Daring replied, "And he's probably participating in the tournament too. We could get a free win."
Hope slipped her saddlebags on, "I don't think it will be easy. He's a pro. We can't even beat Dad."
Ditzy and the other adults entered the room. Daring and Blitz flew out the window.
"Can you guys go on ahead?" Hope said, "I want to talk to Dad in private."
The others went on ahead and Hope asked, "Why are you offering up your title as the tournament prize."
"Because," Zach said, "I'm content with life in Ponyville. I actually prefer being in town instead of a big city dueling. I started this tournament to find a duelist capable of defeating me."
"Okay," Hope smirked, "I hope I'm the only pony that can do that."
Zach hugged his daughter, "I hope so too. I always want you to try your hardest."
-Timeskip-
"Where did those two go?" Discord asked.
"We challenge you!" the voices of the twins called out.
"That way," the Pies said.
The group ran to a wide street and saw the twins with a Pegasus stallion. He was green with a purple and yellow mane. His cutie mark was a black spiral.
"I'm sorry," Hyper Streak said in a deep bass voice, "But my duel runner is in the shop and my wings aren't what they used to be."
"That's okay," Blitz said, "We can have a ground duel."
The twins pushed a button on their duel disks and the entire circular top rotated, revealing a second deck. Pegasi usually had that model for going between ground and turbo duels quickly.
"Fine," Hyper said, "I'm happy to duel anywhere. I assume we're going by official two-on-one duels." The twins nodded.
Hyper Streak: 16,000
Daring Dash & Rainbow Blitz: 16,000
"Go Blitz and Daring!" the Pies cried out, pulling foam fingers from hammerspace.
"Age before beauty," Hyper said, drawing two cards due to the two-on-one rule, "I summon Tech Genus Catapult Dragon (ATK 900)." The strange dragon appeared, "I can now summon a Tech Genus from my hoof, come forth Tech Genus Jet Falcon (ATK 1400). I tune my Jet falcon to my Catapult Dragon to synchro summon Tech Genus Power Gladiator (ATK 2300)." A humanoid warrior appeared. Then, a phantom version of Jet Falcon appeared and flew at the twins."
D&B: 16,000-15,500
"What happened?" Blitz asked.
"When my Jet Falcon is used for the summoning of a synchro monster I can hit you with 500 points of damage. I set a card and end my turn."
Daring drew, "I activate the field spell Rainbow Factory." A factory of clouds appeared, but the rainbows were grey. "I activate the spell Spectrum Stream. This allows me to special summon a Prism Knight from my deck. I summon Prism Knight Violet (ATK 1400)." A stripe of purple appeared on the rainbows as a knight in violet armor rose. "When I activate a Spectrum spell card I can summon my Prism Knight Yellow (ATK 800)." The rainbows gained yellow. "I now summon another Violet. I now tune my level one Prism Knight Yellow with my two Violets to synchro summon Prism Gardna (DEF 2300)." A giant prism appeared. "My Violets have the same effect as your Jet Falcon."
Hyper Streak: 16,000-15,000
"I set a card and end my turn."
Hyper drew his two cards, "I summon Tech Genus Striker (ATK 800). When I summon a level four or lower monster I can also summon Tech Genus Warwolf (ATK 1200). I tune my Striker to my Warwolf to summon Tech Genus Wonder Magician (ATK 1900). When my magician is summoned I can destroy your face-down. Now I'm going to show you something." Hyper flew high into the air, his monsters following him.
"I tune my Tech Genus Wonder Magician to my Tech Genus Power Gladiator. Go, accel synchro summon!" Hyper's monsters turn into the ring and stars of a synchro summon and he stops flying and falls through them. When he is through they explode into light, creating the new monster. "Behold, Tech Genus Blade Blaster (ATK 3300)." Hyper and his monster land at the same time. "Blade Blaster, attack Prism Gardna."
The monster raised its sword and slashed, but the prism survived.
"My Gardna can survive one battle per turn," Daring declared.
"Then I set a card and end my turn."
Blitz drew, "Nice accel synchro. But you're not the only one. I summon Prism Knight Red (ATK 800)." A red knight appeared and the rainbows gained a red streak. "When I summon Red I can summon another Prism Knight from my hoof. I choose Prism Knight Indigo (ATK 1000)." The indigo streaks appeared on the rainbows. "I activate Double Summon to summon my Prism Knight Violet. I tune my level one Red to my level two Indigo and Violet to synchro summon Prism Sentry (ATK 2300).
"It's time to finish what my sister started. I tune Daring's Prism Gardna to my Prism Sentry." The twins both took off, spiraling around each other as their monsters followed. The go faster and faster. As the monsters turn into stars and rings white energy comes off of the twins. "Go, accel synchro!"
A crystalline Pegasus appears. Its mane and tail are the seven colors of the rainbow.
"We accel synchro summon Spectrum Pegasus (ATK 3500). Spectrum Pegasus, attack with Color Stream!"
"I banish my Blade Blaster and activate TGB-D1. This allows me to destroy a monster you control when a Tech Genus monster I control is banished." The trap raised, but a rainbow colored light destroyed it. "What?"
Blitz laughed and pointed to the rainbow factory, "Every time we summoned a different Prism monster we put a Prism Counter on this. When it has four we can negate an effect that targets one of our monsters once per turn. I believe our attack goes through."
Hyper Streak went flying.
Hyper Streak: 15,000-11,500
"I set a card and end my turn."
Hyper stood up and drew, "That was a good move, but now I've got my Blade Blaster. I activate TGX3-DX2. This allows me to draw two cards when I return three Tech Genus monsters in the graveyard to my deck. It's time to synchro up. I activate Fiend's Sanctuary to summon a Metal Fiend Token (ATK 0). I now summon Tech Genus Cyber Magician (ATK 0). I tune my Cyber Magician to my Metal Fiend Token to synchro summon Tech Genus Recipro Dragonfly (ATK 300). I activate De-Synchro to turn my Blade Blaster back into Power Gladiator and Wonder Magician. Now I tune Wonder Magician with Power Gladiator and Recipro Dragonfly. Go, delta accel synchro! Tech Genus Halberd Cannon (ATK 4000)!" The monster landed with a loud thud. "Now I attack Spectrum Pegasus!"
"I activate Doble Passe," Blitz called out, "I may not like the dancing, but this saves my monster by changing your attack to a direct one." The monster re-aimed its cannon and hit the twins, knocking them back a few feet.
B&D: 15,500-11,500
"Now your monster attacks you," Daring added. Halberd Cannon fired on its master.
Hyper Streak: 11,500-7500
"I end my turn."
Daring drew, "I summon Prism Knight Green (ATK 1600)."
"My monster can destroy yours," Hyper said. But before the knight was destroyed a green streak appeared on the rainbows.
"I'll set a card and end my turn."
Hyper drew, "I summon Tech Genus Rush Rhino (ATK 1600). Now I activate TGX1000. This gives my Halberd Cannon 1000 points for every Tech Genus I control (ATK 4000-6000). I attack your Pegasus again."
"I activate Spectrum Barrier," Daring countered, "Your attack is negated, but I take twice the damage."
D&B: 11,500-6500
"I'll end my turn."
Blitz drew, "I activate Card of Sanctity. Now I activate Spectrum Drain. The effects of all monsters currently on the field are negated. I summon Prism Knight Red and special summon Prism Knight Blue (ATK 1000). I activate Star Changer to make my Blue level one. I tune Red to Blue to summon my Prism (ATK 0). Now I use my own De-Synchro to summon return my Pegasus to bring back Gardna and Sentry." Blitz looked at Daring, "Are you ready to try this sis?"
Daring nodded, "Let's do it."
Daring and Blitz fly into the air and begin to chant in unison, "We tune these monsters to separate the waves of light and give them new shape." A cone begins to form around the twins. "Come forth, the force of light. Delta accel synchro, Full spectrum Dragon (ATK 4000). As the twins say the last words they both perform a sonic rainboom at the same time, creating two waves of light. As the twins land their ace descends. It looks similar to a neighsian dragon. It is rainbow colored and is flashing light like a prism.
"They managed to summon it," Hope stared in wonder. She knew the card was real, but the twins were never able to summon it.
"It's so pretty," Turvy muttered.
"We use the effect of our dragon. It gains 1000 points for every Spectrum Counter (ATK 4000-9000). While you would have points left if we attacked your Halberd Cannon, you have a weaker monster on the field. Full Spectrum Dragon, attack with Ultimate Rainbow Stream!"
Hyper Stream: 7500-0
The shining dragon disappeared and the twins' charms recorded their win. They went over to Hyper Streak, who was still staring.
"In all my years," he muttered, "I have never seen such a sight."
"You should see our friend's ace," Daring laughed, "That is a real monster."
"Well, that was an invigorating duel. I have to go, but look me up if you're ever in Cloudsdale. I saw your mother perform the first rainboom in a century their and I'd like to know how she's doing."
"Will do sir."
Hyper flew off and the Pies said, "To the giant green statue of that mare!"
