Myself and the five royals were walking down the hall, an hour having passed since the Order agent incident. Now, we were, or rather, I was, just waiting for word of them to attack Ponyville. In the mean time, I was asking what their previous experiences were with the Order, personally.

"For the most part, none except running," Luna said. "They are that powerful. The only one of us to face them is my sister, and she barely escaped."

"Lulu, we both know I got away with ease," Celestia said. Me call bull. If I were the Order leader, I'd put any and all resources on capturing a Princess, Celestia especially.

Agreed, my best monster said. We have been here less than a day, and already, something is not right.

We may just be overreacting, and she's wanting us to think she escaped with ease to give us confidence, I replied.

Regardless, be cautious.

Aye, aye, capi-ton, I replied., getting no response.

"The only hands on experience I've had," Twilight said, "was trying to get my friends to come back, and I nearly died from it ."

"What about you, Chrysalis," I asked.

"Only running," she said. "Only I and my personal guard are the only ones not converted of my hive," the changeling said, sorrow evident in her voice. I was surprised the princesses didn't try yo comfort her, so I did so, putting a shoulder around her.

"Don't worry," I say to her. "I'll make sure your hive is returned to you, Chrysalis. I may not have come here willingly, but I'll do my best to to make sure I defeat the Order." She looked at me, a bit of surprise on her face, I imagine that someone actually tried to make her feel better.

"Thank you, Josh," she said, ti which I smiled.

"No problem," I say as a guard that was very familiar to me. How, you may ask? Because he was my god damned OC. He had black skin, same with hair and tail, though his hair had highlights of red and orange, allowing for a flame like look. He looked out of breath.

"Lone," Twilight said, rushing to him, "what's wrong?"

"Ponyville. . . under attack," he got out between breathes. "Applejack."

"Applejack's there?" Twilight asked in a gasp, to which Lone nodded. "We need to get there," I heard her say, though I had already begun to make my way to the gardens, on the edge of the city.

I reached there quickly, and activated my disk. I reached toward the deck I placed there, and drew just the card I wanted. "I summon Blue Thunder T-45!" I yell as i jump over the edge of the city, and the jet, a machine with two remote weapon pods at it's sides, a silver fuselage, and blue cockpit appeared around me, myself being in the front. I grabbed the control stick to direct it, and turned it to where Ponyville was in my view, then activated the thrusters. Oh, I am going to have fun today.

With Blue Thunder going at full speed, I reached the town in minutes. I removed Thunder's card from the disk, and it faded, and, like a badass, I landed with a roll. I got up to my feet, and looked around. Just about the entire town was on fire, and I saw multiple machines rampaging, including a few Cyber dragons and a-. . . oh, you have got to be fucking kidding me, a satellite cannon beam hit town hall. I can only hope no one was in there.

"Oh, don't worry," a voice behind me said with a slight country accent. "No pony was in there." I turned, and saw Applejack, her hair loose and going behind her shoulders, wearing a light yellow cloak, with a red duel disk with orange and steel accents on her arm. "So you're the one the four summoned to try to stop us?" she asked. "I'm not impressed."

"Maybe you should keep your mouth shut," I say as as Chrono, SK, Y FI, AND RE, appeared behind me. "I have the machine king on my side, after all."

"Please," the former farm mare said. "He couldn't defeat my Cyber larva, and it's the weakest card in my deck. Even if he could, I'm the queen of machines."

"Sure about that?" I ask. "Why are you here, anyway?" I ask her. "It can't be terror attack, that would involve killing civilians. Lower morale, maybe, but even I know the Order has numerical superiority. So, what is it?"

"To show you the light of Ra," she said. Jeez, she sounds like the main villain from season two of Gx. Damn glad I'm gonna be the one to shut her up.

"How about a no to that," I say, activating my duel disk and bringing it up. "You win, I join the Order. I win, well, you leave it." Before you say anything you could say I got a feeling she'd keep that promise when she lost.

"I don't see why not," she said, her monsters disappearing, her disk coming up. "Ladies first," she says as we both draw five cards, and, to my surprise, a holograpic image of the field and our life points, at eight thousand, appeared. We already stood a good distance away from one another, but we backed up more to get enough space.

I saw her grin. "First off, I lay down two face downs," she says, and two face down spell or trap cards appeared. "Then I'll summon my Cyber dragon!" she yelled, slapping that card down on her disk, and the infamous card appeared. "I end my turn."

Damn it, already got a lot to deal with. I drew my sixth card. Perfect. "I play the spell card Banner of Courage," I say, the face of the card facing Applejack. "I'll then lay these two cards face down," I say, placing two cards down. "I then play this, Double summon!" The card appeared face up, picture facing Applejack. "You see, this is a useful defensive card, as it allows me to do this," I say, putting two monster cards down. "I summon V-Tiger jet and W-Wing Catapult." Both machines appeared on my field.

"So?" Applejack asked. "They can't defeat my Cyber Dragon."

"Now, you're right," I say. "But you seem to not know something, 'your highness'," I say mockingly.

"Hold that thought," she said, interrupting me. "I play my trap, Non-Fusion Area. It means ya can't fuse those two." Damn it!

"I end my turn, then," I growled.

Applejack smirked as she drew another card. "Now, Cyber Dragon, attack his W-Wing!"

Her cyber dragon opened its mouth, and a beam of blue energy erupted from its mouth, and hit W-Wing catapult, slicing it in half.

"Damn it," I say as the dust clears.

"Give up yet?" Applejack asked.

"No way in hell," I say as I draw, which brought a smirk to my face. "First off, I activate another double summon, then I'll lay this face down," I say, putting a monster face down, and then I'll tribute V-Tiger Jet to summon Summon Reactor-SK!" I slap SK's card onto the disk, and he appears on the field. Now, SK, take down that dragon. Mech fist!"

"I activate my other trap, Spell Binding Circle," Applejack said, and that infamous card flipped face up, the circle surrounding SK. "Now your monster can't attack or switch position."

Double damn it! "I'll lay these face down then, and end my turn," I say as I hear a pop behind us, and I turn to see the royals. "'Bout fucking time," I say.

Before they could reply, Applejack made her move, and smirked again. "First off, I activate Swords of revealing light," she said, and swords of green light surrounded my monsters, and flipped my monster over, revealing Y FI. "I'll then put this face down," another face down on her side, "and sacrifice my Cyber Dragon to summon my Satellite Cannon!"

FUUUUCK!

"I end my turn, which means my cannon gets a thousand attack points."

"My draw, then," I say, drawing my card. Jeez, I'm lucky today.

"Josh, what are you doing," Twilight asked. "Her cannon will defeat you!"

"No it won't," I say. "First off, I activate one of my face downs, Birth right, which allows me to summon a normal monster from my graveyard, and I just happen to have one, so come back out, Tiger Jet!" A hole opened up in the ground, and said machine flew out of it, and hovered to the far left of my field. "I then activate Nightmare steelcage, which stops either of us from attacking for three turns." A steel cage appears around each of us. "I then activate my third and final double summon," I say, activating the card I just drew. "So I'll lay this card face down," I say, putting a monster face down, filling up my monster slots. "I then tribute my Tiger Jet and face down to summon PERFECT MACHINE KING!" I yell as I take the two cards and put them in my graveyard and putting Chrono's card, which I had drawn for my first hand, on the field. "I then end my turn."

"Your simply making my Cannon more powerful," she says, drawing. "I end my turn, which makes Satellite Cannon have a total of two thousand."

"I can do math," I growl, drawing, "Damn it," I mutter to myself. I didn't draw the card I need, but one I can use later. "I set one card face down, and end my turn." Two turns left until the slugfest begins.

Applejack did the same as last time, which meant the swords would be gone at the end of my next turn, and her cannon now had three thousand.

I drew, and grinned. I had what I needed. "First off, I activate the spell card Giant Trunade, which sends all spells and traps to their owners hands." Both of us took the cards off the field. "I then summon this, Spell Reactor, RE!" RE appeared on the field. "I then switch Trap Reactor to attack mode. Now, Chrono, take out her Satellite!"

"You got it," he said before thrusters on his back activated, and he flew up into atmosphere, and a projection of him approaching the Cannon, a green sword in hand.

"He can't defeat my Cannon," Applejack said. "It has three hundred more attack points."

"Correction, it has one thousand and seven hundred less!" I say. "You see, Perfect Machine King's effect gives him an additional five hundred points for every other machine type on the field, and there are four, which means he gets two thousand points, putting him at 4700, so prepare to lose your Cannon."

In the screen, we saw him approach the Cannon, which fired off a shot that hit, but did nothing to Chrono, before he got close and sliced it in half, followed by an explosion. He then grabbed a part of it, and threw it downward.

He came down with it, and the part he grabbed and threw hit Applejack.

"And I'm not done yet. Y FI, attack her directly! Machine gun barrage!" Y FI aimed with his cannon, and opened fire, unleashing a hail of bullets.

"And I'm not finished yet!" I yell "SK, Y FI, RE, TIME TO MERGE!"

"Right," three of them said before they leaped up, and began to assemble like Optimus Prime, Super Mode from Tansformers Energon.

Y FI was at the bottom. his legs became thicker, and even his arms moved to become a part of them, and the turrets moved up to merge with SK. RE was in the middle, his body breaking apart, the main part becoming the hips of the new machine, his arms going up to merge with SK's. Speaking of SK, something that resembled the cockpit of an old bomber seemed to grow out of him, and his head changed. These were just the most obvious changes, though.

"BEHOLD, FLYING FORTRESS SKYFIRE!"

All of the mares looked up in awe, and maybe fear, of what was one of the most powerful cards in this deck. "You see, Applejack, when ever Summon Reactor, Trap Reactor, and Spell Reactor are on the field, I can merge them to summon this beast of a machine. And the best part is is that if I had left your Non-fusion area card on the field, it wouldn't have stopped this, because SKY FIRE isn't a fusion monster."

"It- it can't be," Applejack said in shock.

"It is," I say. "SKY FIRE, end this! Fortress Barrage. All weapons, ready," multiple clicks could be heard, "aim," the turrets turned to face Applejack, "FIRE!!" Every weapon on SKY FIRE opened up, creating a huge ass dust cloud.

When it faded, Applejack lay on the ground. She rolled a little, and I could hear her groan. As SKY FIRE and Chrono disappeared, a small light came from my deck and made its way to where she lay, and it began to absorb a yellow energy that was now visible around the Element of Honesty. When that energy was gone, the small orb disappeared, and I was the second to get over there after Twilight.

"She alright?" I asked.

"Just out cold," Twilight said. "How'd you do that, Josh? Take out the one thing that gave each of us the most trouble."

"I just used the powers my friends were willing to give me, and this is the end result," I say. I then slap two Blue Thunders down, two of them appearing. "Lets head back to Canterlot."
