It was 3 weeks later that the stadium was rebuilt, And the tournament was back in action.

"Sorry for the delay everypony, We just had a tech difficulty after our last duel." The announcer said as he showed a video of Sunset Satan destroying the stadium and Sunset Shimmer with her Number 61 card, "BUT NOW THAT WE'RE BACK IN ACTION, LET'S SEE WHO'S NEXT TO DUKE IT OUT!!!!!"

The cards were once more shuffled erratically, Until the next two pics were revealed, Discord and Pinkie Pie were shown.

"OUR NEXT TWO DUELISTS ARE QUITE BIZARRE, IT'S THE SPIRIT OF CHAOS, DISCORD, V.S THE 4TH WALL KILLER, PINKIE PIE!!!!" He said as the two duelists were prepping their decks in the lounge.

"Remember, Pinkie, Discord's deck and style can be very erratic, Be ready for anything!" Twilight told her.

"Don't worry girls, I've got this, Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice shame on me right?" Pinkie said as she recalled her corruption, "He's not gonna fill me with lies again!"

"Pinkie Pie eh? This should be quite entertaining." Discord said as he entered the stadium

"IT'S TIME FOR THE 4TH OF 8 DUELS IN OUR FIRST ROUND!!!! LET'S MEET OUR COMBATANTS, FIRST UP HAILING FROM PONYVILLE, SHE'S HYPERACTIVE, SHE'S STRANGE, AND SHE DESPISES THE 4TH WALL, LET'S HERE IT FOR.... PINKIE PIE!!!!!!!" He said as the pony shot herself through the corridor with her party cannon and miraculously landed on her field, "AND HER CHALLENGER, HE'S ALSO QUITE BIZARRE, PUN INTENDED AND PUN NOT INTENDED, WELCOME TO THE RING, THE SPIRIT OF CHAOS AND DISHARMONY, DISCORD!!!!!!!" The red carpet that discord was supposed to walk on was actually discord changing his look, In the blink of an eye, The carpet became what looked like an animal almanac had exploded and taken the form of a humaniod creature, "Shuffle the decks well, You two."

"I see you refused Darkwing's offer, Biggest mistake of your life!" He said as he shuffled Pinkie's cards in a hurricane.

"If i'm sure on one thing that isn't whimsical and nonsencical, It's that no-one destroys innocent ponies and gets away with it! After i crush you, HE'S NEXT!!!!" Pinkie said whilst shuffling Discord's deck in a blender.

Once both combatants' decks were shuffled well, The announcer spoke up once more, "The decks have been shuffled, And miraculously unharmed, So........."

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

"I'm gonna start this party train off! I Draw!" Pinkie said as she took her cards with vigor and confidence, "To start, I'm gonna summon forth, Party Beast Streamers!"

And in a flash, The entire stadium was bombarded with an endless rainbow of streamers, It didn't stop until there was at least one streamer on everypony in the audience, After which the streamers then mashed together, To take the shape of a humanoid creature with knuckles cracked.

"When he's the only Party Beast on the field, I can add one Polymerization card and another Party Beast to join him, And now i'll play my newly acquired Polymerization!"

Another monster, Made entirely out of balloons this time, Flew out of Pinkie's card, and mashed its' physical form with the other, And they both dissapeared into a swirling vortex, After the swirling vortex dissapeared, Another humanoid creature made entirely out of disco ball metal was standing tall over Discord, And for a true disco ball effect, Rainbow lights started orbiting the creature, Reflecting the light off of all corners, And playing the hottest Equestria beats.

"NOW THIS IS WHERE THE PARTY'S AT!!!!!" Pinkie had to shout over the deafening music that was playing in the arena, "NOW I PLACE 3 CARDS FACEDOWN, IT'S YOUR TURN NOW!!!!!!!!"

"FINE THEN, I DRAW!!!!" Discord also had to shout, Just to get through the deafening music to get to Pinkie's ears, "FIRST I'LL PLAY THE FIELD SPELL, LABYRINTH OF DISHARMONY AND TORMENT!!!!!!"

Labyrinth Of Disharmony And Torment (Field Spell)

When he slammed the card into the specific "Field Spell" slot, The stadium suddenly changed into Discorded Canterlot Labyrinth, With 6 passages all leading to the Mane 6's original corruption all those moons ago.

"NOW YOU CAN'T SUMMON A MONSTER WITHOUT IT LOSING ALL OF IT'S ATTACK POINTS!!!!!! FURTHERMORE I GAIN ALL THE ATK OF A MONSTER EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU SUMMON ONE!!!!!!!" He said with anger and happiness on his face, "NEXT, I SUMMON, CONFUSION DEMON: ANGER!!!!!!!"

Once per turn, You can reduce the ATK of one of your opponent's monsters to 0, This card then gains the exact amount of ATK that the opponent's monster until the end phase of the turn.

And after the card was laid down, A demonic chorus of laughter could be heard in the distance, Much like the laughing on The Smiler, After it subsided, A single balloon appeared on Discord's field, Only to explode revealing a ghost-like entity made out of teal energy and bearing an angry face.

"NOT THIS TIME, DISCORD!!!!!!" Pinkie said as she tried to avoid the dark aura from consuming her.

"Very well, Pinkie! I was hoping to win in a civilized manner but you've forced my hand! Now i play Confusion Demon: Rage's Special Ability, Once a turn, I can steal all of your monster's Attack Points! So now, My demon has 2600 ATK and your Disco Ball has NONE!!!!!!" He said as the Demon pulled off the same trick that it used on the pink pony last time, As it went into effect, A dark green stream of energy flowed out of the giant disco ball, And was being absorbed into the teal coloured demonic ghost, The onscreen ATK counter showed that the ATK windows of both monsters had been swapped.

"NOW GO, CONFUSION DEMON: RAGE!!!!! DESTROY PINKIE'S MONSTER WITH CRESTFALLING CACKLING!!!!!!!" After Discord announced his attack, The evil laughing started up again, It kept going until it forced the giant disco ball to cover his ears.

"Don't think so! I'll play, Negative Undoing!"

Negative Undoing (Trap)

When your opponent plays an effect that lowers your monster's ATK, Restore that monster's ATK during the Battle Phase.

"So if you decide to attack me, Our monsters are just going to destroy themselves!"

"No they won't little Pinkie, I play the equip spell card, Kishido Spirit!"

Kishido Spirit (Equip Spell)

When a monster equipped with this spell battles another monster with the same ATK, The monster equipped with this card cannot be destroyed in battle.

"Now i'll attack your disco ball!"

"Wait a second, You can't play spells and traps during a battle phase!"

"Yes i can, Thanks to Confusion Demon: Deception's Effect!"

"DESTROY PINKIE'S DISCO BALL, WITH CRESTFALLING CACKLING!!!!!!"

The laughter intensified till it reached a certain unbearable form that drove Pinkie insane all those months ago, Then all of a sudden, Pinkie's monster glowed a teal aura and then blew up, As Pinkie struggled to fight the wind, Her monster had vanished.

"I place a card facedown! Your turn, Pinkie."

"OK, Now it's time to really ramp up my game! I draw!" *"I can't fail my friends and family! I need a good card here!"* She said as she pulled out her card and grinned, *"YES!"* "Now i play the spell card, Fireworks Show!"

*"I just need a spell and i win! Come on Pinkie Sense, Don't fail me now!"* "DRAW!!!!!" *"Yes! This is it!"* "A spell card! meaning all your cards are destroyed!" She said with a triumphant grin as the labyrinth and all of Discord's cards were set ablaze before exploding in a cataclysmic explosion, "And to add insult to injury, I get 2000 Life Points!" She said as the explosion turned into a lovely fireworks show, As she bathed in the rainbow of firework ashes, Her LP counter now showed 6000 points.

"Now what's the spell i drew you ask? Why it's called Pump Up The Volume! And i think i'll use it right now!"

Pump Up The Volume! (Spell)

Special Summon one Fusion monster from your graveyard, That monster gains 2000 ATK and cannot be destroyed in battle.

"Welcome back, Party Beast Disco!" She said as the spell reincarnated the disco ball giant, Only it's ATK was now reading 4600 and it's body had rainbow coloured veins around it.

*"NO, I CAN'T LOSE HERE, NOT NOW, THE VOICE PROMISED ME POWER!"* Discord said in his mind.

"Discord.................." The voice said to his mind, "Discord.........................."

"It is time, Discord, Time to unleash the true extent of your powers of control!"

"Are you sure about this, Voice?"

"I am perfectly sure of it, You possess the power to manipulate ponies to your will, That's good."

"Now it is time to be blessed with a number, Now is the time to destroy your opposition!"

"Very well, Voice!"

As we return to the field, Discord starts glowing the same black aura that Sunset Satan was radiating during her duel, "Now Pinkie!" He said with a new voice, One that was twisted cold and hissing constantly, "It isssss time, for you to sssssuffer! I Draw!"

"And first, I'll play this, Confusion Demon: Greed!"

"But that's just the start of your nightmare! Next, I'll play, Eight Revival!"

Eight Revival (Spell)

Special Summon one monster from your graveyard, Its level becomes level 8.

"Rise Again! Confusion Demon: Anger!"

Once more the balloon appeared and exploded revealing the teal ghost that lay inside.

"Now your doom is at hand! I'll Overlay my Level 8 Confusion Demons, Greed and Anger." Discord said as the galaxy to black hole portal that indicated a number was created, "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network and call out a force much greater than my own!"

An archaic number was engraved on Discord's chest, "I X-Z Summon, Number 40: Gimmick Puppet Of Strings!!!!!"

As the Demonic theme for a Number's summoning was played in the background, An enormous puppet that looked like an angel with one wing descended onto the field, It brandished an enormous sword and had no strings attached to it even though it was a puppet monster, The archaic 40 was on the right wing's feather connector, And two dark purple balls were orbiting it.

"What in Equestria is that thing?!" Pinkie said with a horrified look on her usually happy face.

"This thing in Equestria, Is your undoing, And the key to corrupting you once more!!!!!!" Discord's new voice said with an evil laugh at the end.
