Sweetie Belle sits on the sofa and breathes heavily. This card shop is too extensive for her sizeable body to go around. The white filly takes a book but six black coat ponies watch her. The white filly quickly talks to the shop guard about those ponies.
When the white filly returns to her spot, she sees Spike opening the golden tin. Sweetie Belle jumps on the sofa and asks. "So, what do you get?"
"Oh, Sweetie Belle." Spike rubs his head. "Just some good cards."
"Spike, your tin is not open yet."
Spike looks at the box and sees many packs. The green dragon opens the tin, and take many cards from it. Sweetie Belle whispers to Red Eyes. "I'm gonna ask, did you know Black Luster Soldier?"
"A bit." Red Eyes huffs. "I don't know much about him." The black dragon takes a monster card. "And I have an allergy to those flan monsters."
Sweetie Belle shakes her head. "Bet you are messing with Maldoche, right?"
Red Eyes turn away. Sweetie Bell checks the card and feels strange about this tin. Some of the 'Black Luster Soldier' cards, some of the 'Maldoche' cards and even some of the equip spell cards are included. Spike arranges all the cards. "Oh Celestia, I don't know what to build here."
"Black Luster Soldier." Sweetie Belle grins. "That guy always banished stuff."
"You mean those stallions you used in the duel with Salmon Hook?" Spike puts the cards down. "But he requires a ritual spell, and I don't have one for him."
Sweetie Belle lies on the table to show her useless moment. There are no cards beside her dragon, nor does she have the money to buy the packs. Suddenly, the white filly sees her sister glaring at her. Sweetie Belle turns away from her sister.
Rarity smiles. "Did you just tell us that we would be kidnapping you? You make others have to explain to the guard."
As Sweetie Belle takes Red Eyes, she says, "I didn't realize you were those ponies. Anyway, I have a job to do. See ya."
Sweetie Belle runs away but Rarity pulls her tail back to herself. The white filly looks at her sister's angry face and gulps. Rarity grins. "It's time to build a deck."
"I have no money."
Rarity points at Red Eyes. "What about your dragon? Is she suffering from something bad? I only see your dragon's xyz version."
Sweetie Belle throws her hooves. "I don't know, okay? I don't even know what my dragon is good at except First - Turn - Kill potential." Red Eyes turns away. Sweetie Belle picks up the black dragon. "Now, I wish I have another deck to use. Sorry, Red Eye."
The white filly yelps in pain when Red Eyes bites her head. The white filly grabs the black dragon and glares at her. Red Eyes breathes fire into Sweetie Belle's mane. The white filly quickly runs to the nearby lake and jumps into it.
Red Eyes and others follow her to ensure the white filly is fine. Spike looks at the black dragon. "You are so brutal."
Red Eyes turns away from the purple dragon. Sweetie Belle swims to the land and coughs for a while. The white filly glares at the black dragon. Red Eyes huffs. "Why don't you lie?"
Sweetie Belle coughs. "I hate lying. The truth might hurt, but it's real."
"I gonna bite you more."
Red Eyes rushes at her but Rarity stops the black dragon from hurting Sweetie Belle. Rarity shakes her head. "Sweetie Belle, you shouldn't tell her that."
Taking a deep breath, Sweetie Belle sighs and leaps to the ground. "I'll go home." The white filly returns to the boutique as quickly as possible.
The moon is rising and all of the ponies in town are sleeping. A blue mare with a yellow mane is standing in front of the Carousel Boutique and looks around. When they are all silent, she starts taking out the scepter and teleports inside the building.
When the mare stands inside the boutique, she puts her scepter on the ground to keep track of something. After a while, she walks into a room silently. When the mare steps inside, she sees a black dragon is sleeping under the white filly's hooves. The mare giggles and taps the black dragon's snout.
The black dragon slowly opens her eyes and sees the mare watching her. Red Eyes gets out of the filly grasps, then she flies to the sky. The mare throws her scepter in the sky. A mare sits on the scepter and then follows the red dragon with it.
Red Eyes is enjoying the night sky with the mare. The dragon asks. "How is Mahad?"
"He's okay." The mare laughs. "He is busy learning magic."
Red Eyes rolls her eyes. "I thought he would stay inside the pyramid, as always. But what are you doing here, Mana?"
The mare pats the dragon's head. "Because I heard that you got summoned by someone, so I'm here to see what the summoner looks like." Red Eyes turns her face away. The mare giggles. "You and your summoner don't get along well."
"You already know that. She asks for 'The Claw of Hermos' to change me into a sword." Red Eyes spins herself. "I wish I had the chance to fight someone."
"Why?"
"That filly refuses to use my cards." Red Eyes folds her claws. "I hate her when she has so much knowledge like that, also she wants to learn about magic."
"You can teach her, right?" Mana points to the book. "You have more power than me."
"Nah. For the one who always ask for the fusion of me and Mahad. I won't, until she is ready."
Mana shakes her head. "Anyway, Misaka is already summoned."
Red Eyes yawns, "I thought that dragon had a temple to deal with. Make me jealous a bit."
"But... her summons seem a bit strange."
"What's strange?"
Taking a potion, Mana says, "Like... it's like a force summon. But... not sure. Can you get her?"
"Psst please." Red Eyes turns away. "I really hate her.
Mana laughs and points behind the black dragon. "Anyway, you got something."
A small dragon with metal scales approaches the black dragon. Red Eyes run away from the metal dragon while Mana laughs at the black dragon
Sweetie Belle is reading a magic book and waiting for her dragon to do the mission. There is something knocking on the window as the white filly looks up. She sees the metal dragon is carrying the black dragon. Sweetie Belle smiles. "Sometime I love these cards."
"Unequip me, please." Red Eyes struggles to get out. "How can you know this card?"
"What do you mean? 'Black Metal Dragon' is quite decent." Sweetie Belle taps the book. "And where did you disappear?"
"Talking with a friend." Red Eyes turn away. The metal dragon drops the black dragon on the table, then changes into a card."Since when you build a deck for yourself."
"I just want to learn magic. Dueling is boring." Sweetie Belle hugs the black dragon and looks at the window. She sees the mare riding a scepter. Sweetie Belle regconizes that scepter. "You talk to 'Dark Magician Girl'?"
"Yeah, and her name is Mana." Red Eyes huff. "Before you drag me here with this metal dragon."
"Hmm... weird. I wonder if Salmon Hoof can actually talk to 'Red Dragon Archfiend' or not. That dragon has no baby form."
"Just focus on your magic." Red Eyes pats the filly. "If 'The Five Dragons' come here, you can handle them, right?"
"Please. I don't want to duel."
"You can't get away from this." Red Eyes giggles and sits on the bed. "Anyway, Misaka is already there."
"Who is Misaka?"
"Blue Eyes White Dragon, the dragon who owns a temple." Red eyes sniff. "But I feel something wrong with these kinds of summons."
"Like?"
Red Eyes takes a magic book. "Mana mentions forced summoning. I'm glad we can borrow these books from that tree library."
"What is forced summoning actually?"
"Forced summon is the type of summon the summoned doesn't want to be." Red Eyes points at herself. "For example, like you call me, I take the summon."
"You were going to kill me that time." Sweetie Belle taps the black dragon's head. "Willing to be summoned or willing to kill the summoner, Mrs. Red Eyes?"
"I can go back if you are too weak, you know." Red Eyes slaps the filly's hoof away. "Since you were defeated by me."
Sweetie Belle flips the page and says, "I didn't expect your ultimate form that time. The summon condition is like ... Sophia."
"Nah, so will you build a deck?
"
"No. I want to learn magic." Sweetie Belle yawns. "Dueling makes me boring sometimes. Especially if I duel with "Brick-eye", it'll get boring quick."
Red Eyes gives her a smirk and leaves her alone. Rarity is standing in front of the door and hears all of the conversation. The moment Rarity realizes her sister doesn't want to duel again, she slowly leaves the duo alone and makes a plan.
Inside the ruined castle in Everfree Forest, there is a white dragon struggling against the magic chain tied down to the magic circle. Cloaked ponies are trying to keep the dragon at bay.
A grey unicorn with red horn watches the white dragon. To him, this dragon is so powerful that he will have to spend a lot of time trying to get it. "Keep going." The unicorn turns away and watches the sky. He can't wait for his revenge
