"So Twilight, How does it feel knowing you're about to lose the 1st match of the tournament?" Shining Armour asked his sister who was clearly struggling to think of a plan.

"As i always say: It isn't over until it's over." Twilight said in response to the question, "It's my turn now!"

As she drew her next card, Another grin was plastered on her face "I activate an Equip Spell card known as Megamorph!

Megamorph (Equip Spell)

If your life points are lower than your opponents', Double the ATK of the equipped monster, If your opponent's life points are lower than your own, Cut the ATK of the equipped monster in half.

As the dragon ate the equip spell, It's ATK became 6000.

"How'd you like that! Thanks to Megamorph, I can double Blue-Eyes' Attack Points if my Life Points are lower than yours!"

"Now go Blue-Eyes! Destroy Goyo Guardian with White Lightning!"

Again the dragon shot its' trademark laser, Only this time, Shining Armour did lose Life Points as he no longer had Spirit Barrier on the field.

As he screamed in the laser's aftermath, His Life Points had now become 1600 "Pretty impressive, Twily, But i'm still here!"

"But not for long, I play a spell card known as Pot Of Greed!"

After Shining Armour finished, A black puddle appeared in front of him, And a few seconds later, A humanoid creature jumped out of it.

"Thanks to this card's effect, I can summon 2 Replicated Tokens because you have two cards in your hand!" He said as two more shadows appeared next to the original.

"Now Twily, I play a spell card known as Oblivion's Respite!"

Oblivion's Respite (Spell)

When you have 3 Dark Attribute monsters on the field, You can Special Summon a monster from the graveyard, Whos level is the sum of the 3 Dark Attribute monsters on the field.

"And thanks to its' effect, i can bring back an old friend, RISE AGAIN GOYO GUARDIAN!!!!!!"

The three shadows expelled dark energy which opened up a portal in the ground, After which the japanese warrior leapt up from the vortex and reappeared on Shining Armour's field once more.

"But he's not going to be around for long, I play Double Summon!"

Fiend/Effect

When this card is used for a Synchro Summon, The Summoned Synchro Monster's Attack Points are doubled for the 1st attack.

As he announced the monster, A fiendish mirror appeared in front of Twilight.

"But now's not the time for introductions, I Tune my level 2 Chaos Double with my three Level 2 Replicatory Shadows!"

The mirror turned into 2 more green rings of light, And the three shadows stood on top of one another and were all consumed by the rings, Turning them into 6 little stars, After the stars and rings aligned like last time, Another pillar of light appeared.

"I Synchro Summon..... RED DRAGON ARCHFIEND!!!!!"

This card must remain on the field to activate these effects.

After the pillar of light dissipated, A pillar of fire now stood in it's place, And emerging from it was another dragon, Only this one was more red and scaled than others, After it unfurled its' wings and opened it's claws, It released a deafening roar followed by a gale of wind upon it's summoning.

"And thanks to Chaos Double's effect, I can double Red's attack points to a grand total of.... 6000!"

A red aura enveloped the new dragon as the extra attack points were being applied to it.

"Now i play a spell card known as Black Gale!"

Black Gale (Spell)

If you have 5 or more Dark Attribute monsters in your graveyard, Remove from play all of your opponent's facedown cards (Tokens count as well).

"I have 5 Dark monsters chilling in my graveyard, Twin Sword Marauder, Replicatory Shadow, The 2 tokens from before, And Chaos Double, And that means i can destroy your facedown card!" He said as a black tornado struck squarely on Twilight's facedown, causing it to explode.

"Game's over Twily! Go Red Dragon Archfiend! Destroy Blue-Eyes White Dragon with Absolute Power Force!"

The red dragon's right claw took in fire energy, After building it up, It reached for Blue-Eyes as if to choke it to death.

"Blue-Eyes, Cancel out the damage calculation with White Lightning!"

The dragon once more shot its' white laser, after the laser and the claw collided, It send out a shockwave of wind affecting everypony in the audience, Even the announcer himself, Soon after the wind died down, Both dragons were destroyed in a deafening explosion of fire.

"Your field is empty Twily! And that means it's game over for you! Goyo Guardian! End this duel with GOYO LARIAT!!!!!"

The japanese warrior once more lashed its' whip at Twilight, After the metal part impacted with her horn, It sent her flying into the wall behind her.

"I-I lost!" Were her last words before the life points counter made it official, Twilight had zero life points remaining, Shining Armour had won.

After the digital field and monsters vanished, Shining Armour ran up to his little sister to comfort her, She was bruised from the last attack.

"You okay sis?"

"Yeah i'm fine, Congratulations on winning though, As for me, It's always better luck next year." She said as she graciously accepted her defeat and returned to the duelist lounge.

As she and Shining Armour got there, Twilight was given a consolation congratulations from her friends.

"It was a pretty close contest there Twi." Rainbow Dash said to comfort her defeated friend.

"Good luck in the Quarter-Finals." Fluttershy said to Shining Armour.

"Thanks girls, Things are only just starting though." He said as he turned to the tv screen to watch the next random match-up

"Well that clinches it folks! Shining Armour goes through to the Quarter-Finals, And Twilight is going home with a gift basket."

He said as Twilight's picture dissapeared from the tree, And Shining Armour's face moved up to the next open spot.

"But, There are still 14 other duelists who have not set foot into the first round yet, So let's find out who's next!" He said as the cards shuffled once more.

Once the shuffling stopped, The two pictures were shown, Diamond Tiara and Fluttershy were shown on the tournament tree's next match up spot.

"Our second duel of the tournament is going to be quite exciting folks! It's the hardflank schoolfilly with a blackened heart Diamond Tiara, V.S The Spirit Of Kindness Fluttershy! Both duelists will have 10 minutes to make a final deck edit and report to the field for battle."

"Oh my, Looks like i'm up next." Fluttershy said after the announcer finished.

"Don't worry about it, You're gonna wipe the floor with her." Rainbow Dash said to give her some encouragement.

"Don't let her words bring ya down gal, Just focus on winnin, And ya'll should be fine." Applejack said as she remembered her past with Diamond.

"She can be quite deadly, Legend has it she used her dad's money to buy the best cards available, So don't be surprised if Diamond Tiara has a deck of strong cards, You just have to believe in yourself, And she'll never be able to stop you." Twilight warned the yellow pegasus before stepping out through the corridor

On the other entrance corridor, Diamond Tiara was prepping her deck with rare cards, And even taking the time to customize her duel disc with flashy rich accessories.

"Showtime!" She said after putting on her trademark crown and stepping out onto the duel field. Next Chapter: Diamond Tiara V.S Fluttershy (Part 1) Estimated time remaining: 41 Minutes
