*"I've gotta get rid of that Number somehow, But as long as it stands on the field, It can't be destroyed by anything i throw at it, Guess i'll just have to go defensive for now, Now what do i have..... Aha! This should do nicely."* "I'll place 2 cards facedown and end my turn!

"Why didn't Sunset Shimmer attack?" Twilight asked as we cut back to the lounge.

"It's cause she knew attacking it head on would be a trap." Card Storm said after analyzing the two monsters, "At any one time during either player's turn, Volcasaurus can destroy one of its' Overlay Units and destroy Sunset Shimmer's monster, What's more is, If that was the case, She would also lose 2800 Life Points because it deals damage equal to that monster's original ATK, Meaning she would have been utterly defenceless, And Sunset Satan would have won."

"This demon really wants Sunset to lose." Rarity said to him.

"It's because both duelists are the same person, Meaning if one falls, The other consumes it and takes all of their powers and vice versa, Sunset Satan is looking to power herself up by destroying and consuming her ponyself."

"And when she does, The voice said he would be able to recreate all of the original numbers and bless them to us." Darkwing said with a sinister grin on his face, "As long as one of us wins this tournament, We all win the grand prize, TOTAL EQUESTRIA DOMINATION!!!!!"

"So this is your master plan? Defeat everypony in the tournament just so you can claim infinite power?" Twilight said after she pieced the plan together in her head.

"In a nutshell, Yes, But it's not just the tournament prize i'm after, It's my powers as well, You see i lost every single one of my dark magics during our last clash, The voice also said he would give me all of my dark power back if we won, And once it's mine again, I will SLAY princesses Celestia and Luna!"

"You're a monster!"

"No, I'm human, Unlike you, You miserable copycats!"

Back in the arena.....

"Playing defence isn't going to stop me, Little equine form, I DRAW!!!!!!!" Sunset Satan said as her next turn began, "Now i'll summon, Dark Fire Disarm Adept!"

Fiend/Effect

A little child made of fire appeared next to the hulking dinosaur of fire, Carrying a swiss army knife and wire cutters as it posed.

"Thanks to this, Your facedowns are useless during combat! Now i'll activate Volcasaurus's Special Ability, By tossing up one Overlay Unit, I can destroy your monster! And then you take damage equal to it's ATK! Now go Volcasaurus, Live up to your expectations! Fissure Of Complete And Utter Incineration!" The dinosaur ate one of its' orbiting balls and created an earthquake crack with its' fire, This crack opened up underneath Sunset Shimmer's monster and caused it to fall into the incoming torrent of lava.

"No you don't! I activate one of Cataclysmagma's effects! By discarding an Overlay Unit, I can destroy every card on the field other than this card, And for each one, You lose 500 Life Points!" Sunset Shimmer said as at the last minute, The golem ate one of its' orbiting balls and summoned an enormous volcano, Said volcano then exploded, Raining meteors of pure fire down on the field, Destroying every single monster and facedown, And setting the whole stadium ablaze.

"Nice try, Shimmer, I'll play the effect of Doomblaze Eruption!"

Doomblaze Eruption (Quick Play Spell)

Activate only when an effect that destroys monsters is activated, All your monsters cannot be destroyed this turn, And you cannot lose any life points.

"Now my cards are indestructible, And i can't lose any Life Points! Game over, Little pony!" She said as an earthshaking explosion comsumed the whole stadium, Leaving nothing but a ruined building and a pile of ash and lava.

"Ooohh." Groaned an almost unconscious Sunset Shimmer as she struggled onto her hooves, She noticed her monster and traps were nonexistent and that her Life Points had been reduced to a measly 200

The audience and announcer had fled, The only other ponies that were still here, Were the ones in the miraculously still intact lounge.

"Now to claim my prize, Number 61! End this pony's life for good! Infernal Cataclysm Breath!" The dinosaur took a deep breath, Inhaling fire particles at the same time before shooting it all in the form of a massive laser directly at Sunset Shimmer.

"SUNSET! GET UP!!!!" Twilight said to her unconscious friend.

But it was no use, Sunset Shimmer had fainted just before the laser even struck her, Twilight was talking to a dead horse.

"SUUUUNNNNNSSSEEEETTTTTT!!!!" Twilight screamed as the amber unicorn was completely vaporized by the incoming laser.

As the LP counter hit 0, Twilight ran over to her friend, Although what she saw was horrifying, Sunset Shimmer had been burned all over, Her hair was completely on fire, And her cutie mark was replaced by a stream of blood, That was her last ever glimpse of the yellow pony before she faded away into a stream of yellow light, Only for that light to fly into Sunset Satan, Amplifying her dark aura so that the sky turned stormy and that it was raining fire.

"You.... You.... YOU ANIMAL!!!!!!" Twilight said as she became a violet torpedo and shot herself at the demon.

"You're one to talk, Little pony." Sunset Satan said as she grabbed the incoming Twilight and threw her into the mountains, Causing her to fly back to the ruined arena covered with blood and scars.

"Sunset, Save it for the next round, Then you'll have a chance to kill more ponies through dueling." Darkwing said as he held her back with his dark magic and took her back to the lounge.

"I warned you little equines, Nothing can defeat the darkness, And all who try get consumed and destroyed!"

"I'm coming for you, Darkwing!" Rainbow Dash said with a furious look on her face.

"That is a mistake, Little equines, However, i'm willing to make you an offer, Forfeit your next matches and i'll spare your lives, Or keep dueling, Keep risking your necks, And burn at the hands of the Numbers! You have until the next duel to decide, Your choice." He said before dissapearing into another portal. Next Chapter: Discord V.S Pinkie Pie (Part 1) Estimated time remaining: 10 Minutes
