"WELCOME BACK EVERYPONY!!!! TO THE 3RD MATCH OF THE 1ST ROUND!!!!!" The announcer said with his continuous loud voice, "IF YOU'RE JUST TUNING INTO THE ACTION WE'LL GIVE YOU THE LOWDOWN, TWILIGHT AND SHINING ARMOUR WERE THE 1ST TO CLASH, BUT SHINING ARMOUR CAME OUT ON TOP, SOON AFTER THAT DUEL WAS DIAMOND TIARA V.S FLUTTERSHY, THAT ONE WAS A CLOSE RUN CONTEST BUT IN THE END, FLUTTERSHY REIGNED SUPREME!!!!!"

"NOW WE'RE ABOUT TO KICKSTART THE 3RD MATCH! SO LETS MEET OUR NEXT DUELISTS, IN THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE FIELD, SHE'S TOUGH, SHE'S POWERFUL, AND SHE'S TAUGHT PONYKIND OF SOMETHING CALLED A HUMAN WORD, PLEASE WELCOME.... SUNSET SHIMMER!!!!!" A bunch of fire pillars arose around the red carpet than Sunset was walking on as she got closer to the field, "AND HER OPPONENT, FORGED FROM THE PURE ESSENCE OF GREED AND POWER, MATERIALIZED DUE TO THE DISRUPTION OF THE 2 WORLDS, AND BEARING A STRIKING RESEMBLANCE TO HER OPPONENT, RAISE YOUR APPLAUSE FOR... SUNSET SATAN!!!!" As he finished talking, The demon started walking down the path to her field, Creating a fiery crevasse behind her as she got closer.

"Now remember you two, I want to see those decks shuffled well and fair, Otherwise one of you will get disqualified." He said as the demon and the pony started shuffling the others' deck.

"This is it, Sunset, Time to show you what you can truly be capable of!" Sunset Satan said to her ponyself.

"The last time i became a powerhungry megabitch it didn't end well for me, So this time it's not gonna end well for you!" Sunset Shimmer said after she stopped shuffling and returned to her field.

"It looks like our two duelists are ready folks, Without further ado................."

"LET'S DUEL!!!!!!"

"I'll kickstart this duel if you don't mind, I draw!" Sunset Satan said whilst pulling out her first hand of 5 cards before drawing a 6th from her deck, "To start, I'll summon Hellspawn Prince to the field, Rise up, My warrior of dark fires!"

Hellspawn Prince (Effect Monster)

ATK: 1600

DEF: 1500

Stars: 5

Attribute: Fire

Warrior/Effect

If you have no monsters on your field, You can Special Summon this card directly from your hand, if you do, Then you can draw one card.

In the center of the field, A circle of fire appeared, And grew to almost the entire width of the field, Before it exploded, Revealing a humanoid creature made entirely out of magma, Beneath his helmet was a "Chad Sexington" face, Whilst he pulled out his sword tipped with fire and blood.

"When i've got no monsters on the field, I can summon this bad boy without a sacrifice, And when i do, I'm allowed to draw one card!" She said as her deck was set on fire during her draw and then extinguished immeidately afterwards, "Now let's see what i've got..."

"Perfect, Now I'll play Gamble Summon!"

Gamble Summon (Spell)

Roll a dice, If the number it lands on matches the level of one of the monsters in your hand, You can special summon it.

"Now i can roll a dice, And if it lands on the number 5, You're through!" Sunset Satan said as she grasped an enormous dice made out of lava and hurled it into the air, When the dice hit the floor again, It bounced around for a while before it landed firmly on the floor, The face that was revealed was an x made of 5 dots.

"Yes! That's a five, Meaning i can Special Summon one Level 5 monster from my hand, Arise! Firemonger Incinerus!"

Firemonger Incinerus (Effect Monster)

ATK: 1900

DEF: 2000

Stars: 5

Attribute: Fire

Rock/Effect

When this card is Special Summoned, Inflict 1000 points of damage to your opponent and discard one random card from their hand.

The dice then exploded, Revealing a large chunky statue made entirely out of molten lava, As the statue came to life, It unearthed a giant tomahawk from the ground, Destroyed one of Sunset Shimmer's cards, and swung its throwing axe a few times before posing for the audience.

"OW! What was that?!" Sunset Shimmer said as her LP went down to 3000.

"First this card damages you for 1000 life points, Then you lose one card in your hand, Finally, I'll Overlay my Level 5 Firemonger Incinerus and Hellspawn Prince!" She said as the two monsters turned into red balls of light and flew up into the air, "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network, And call forth the ultimate firestorm!" Unlike the last duel though, A galaxy appeared and suddenly turned into a black hole, In which the two balls flew into before it exploded.

"Let's just say, Darkwing wasn't the only one given a Number!" She said as an archaic symbol that looked scarily like the number 61 was engraved on the back of her right claw and a dark aura suddenly appeared around her whole body "I X-Z Summon.... Number 61: Volcasaurus!"

Number 61: Volcasaurus (X-Z Number Monster)

ATK: 2500

DEF: 1000

Rank: 5

Attribute: Fire

Dinosaur/XYZ/Effect

By sacrificing one Overlay Unit, You can destroy one monster your opponent controls and inflict damage equal to that monster's original ATK, If you do this however, This card will not be able to perform a direct attack this turn.

As the portal dissapeared, A massive reptillian beast emerged from the now erupting ground, With sharp edges made of fire all around it, It's claws we're gargantuan, And its' whole body was made of lava both inside and out, When it stopped moving, Everypony could see the exact same archaic 61 on the right side of its' chest, And that it had two red balls orbiting it.

"Since it's the first turn though, I can't attack you, So i'll just lay down 2 facedowns and leave it at that."

Back in the lounge....

"Number 61?" Said a puzzled Twilight.

"Are we confused over here?" Darkwing said, "Allow me to enlighten you."

"You see Numbers are very special X-Z monsters, They cannot be destroyed unless another Number is fighting them in battle, What's more is that when your LP are 1000 or less, You can overlay your number and call on a Chaos Number, or you could do it without the number and just follow the recipe, But doing it with the Number is more effective as the Chaos Number gets another special ability this way, These Chaos Numbers are unpredictable, Except for the fact that their abilities far surpass those of the Original Numbers."

"So unless Sunset Shimmer has a number card as well, Sunset Satan's Number is completely indestructible?!"

"Exactly, And so far, The only other Number holder in this tournament is me." He said as he held up his Number 96: Dark Mist card for everypony to see before pulling it back two seconds later before they got the chance to read it's powers.

"Sunset Satan was by far the most powerful entity of darkness besides me, And as such the voice second-in-commanded her with another Number card."

"This isn't fair!" Rainbow Dash said.

"LIFE ISN'T FAIR, DASHIE!!!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GET VAPORIZED BY PONIES AND HUMAN COPIES!!!!!!" Darkwing snapped.

"OK, MY MOVE!" Sunset Shimmer said through the TV.

"Oh yeah, The duel, Let's watch." Darkwing said as he returned to his seat.

*"This is a good hand to start with, Especially since i'm eyeing down a Number monster on my first turn, Now let's see what i can do.... Aha! This is bound to work!"* "I'll summon, Fireship Delta Max!"

Fireship Delta Max (Effect Monster)

ATK: 1700

DEF: 1400

Stars: 4

Attribute: Fire

Machine/Effect

If your opponent has a monster on the field, Destroy all Spell and Traps on your opponent's side of the field regardless of their position and inflict 1000 points of damage for each one.

As the card morphed onto the field, It took the shape of a burning spaceship with holes all over the hull and engines, Even with all these punctures, It still looked ready to fight.

"When this card is summoned onto my field, I can destroy both of your facedowns because you have a monster out," She said as the burning ship shot torpedoes at the two facedown cards causing them to blow up, "And for each one that goes kaboom, You lose 1000 Life Points!"

After the cards exploded, More torpedoes impacted directly on Sunset Satan's chest, Causing her to crash into a nearby pillar as her LP decreased to 2000.

"Next, I'll Special Summon, Firestorm Warrior Combustizar! You see, When you lose Life Points due to a special ability, I'm allowed to special summon this card directly from my hand.

Firestorm Warrior Combustizar (Effect Monster)

ATK: 2000

DEF: 600

Stars: 4

Attribute: Fire

Warrior/Effect

When your opponent loses Life Points due to another monster's special ability, You can Special Summon this card from your hand, If this card is used for an X-Z Summon, Increase the X-Z Monster's Original ATK by 1000.

As Sunset Satan returned to her field, She was being eyed down by another human, Only this one was completely made of and on fire, Even its' sword was fire itself.

"Now the stage is set, And i can vanquish the demon inside of me! I'll Overlay my Firestorm Warrior Combustizar and my Fireship Delta Max, To build the Overlay Network and call out the greatest living fire in the universe!" The two monsters just like before became red balls and flew into a red vortex this time, "I X-Z Summon... Infernal Warmonger Cataclysmagma!"

Infernal Warmonger Cataclysmagma (X-Z Monster)

ATK: 2800

DEF: 2600

Rank: 4

Attribute: Fire

Beast Warrior/XYZ/Effect

You can discard one Overlay Unit to activate any of these special abilities, *Take control of one of your opponent's X-Z monsters until the end phase of this turn, *Destroy all cards on the field excluding this card, And inflict 500 points of damage to your opponent for each card destroyed, *Send 8 random cards in your opponent's deck to the graveyard.

After the explosion died down a little, An enormous dragon/humanoid was standing on Sunset Shimmer's field, Carrying a larger than life sword/cannon, And drooling pure lava as it eyed down the demon, Just like all other X-Z monsters, It had two red balls orbiting it.

"Well, This is gonna be fun!" Sunset Satan said observing the new monster.

"Now it's REALLY time to fight fire with fire!!!!!" Sunset Shimmer said in a furious tone.
