1 00:00:04,759 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: Hello, friends from across the nation and around the world, 2 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,160 by Martin and you are listening to Dad's Bedtime Stories, 3 00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:16,800 the podcast that takes listener ideas and turns them into 4 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,320 bedtime stories. Tonight we're jumping back into the Cards of 5 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:26,760 Power universe, a world where magic cards rule things. There's 6 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,079 a lot of episodes of it, so you can start here, 7 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,039 or you could always go back to episode one if 8 00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:35,799 you want to hear the full thing, the full story, 9 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,679 or you could even check out Dad's Anytime Stories, my 10 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000 other podcast where I am currently reading the first book, 11 00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:48,520 the first finished book of Cards of Power, kind of 12 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,479 a polished version of the stories have done here. Tonight's 13 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,679 idea comes to us from one of my Patreon's sponsors, Walker. 14 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,880 I asked you guys for ideas for the Deity level 15 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,560 tournament opponents to face and that sort of thing, and 16 00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:09,760 Walker commented on Patreon that he'd like to see a 17 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:17,200 camping themed person, specifically with a camping themed cat card. 18 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,640 And you know what, trying to make a cat with 19 00:01:22,719 --> 00:01:27,280 a bunch of camping gear a dangerous opponent seemed like 20 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,120 a challenge that I wanted to accept. So that's exactly 21 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,359 what I've done. Today. Today's episode sets up the Deity 22 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,040 Level Tournament and some information about it. So if you 23 00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:42,120 guys have ideas for people who are going to battle 24 00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:45,799 in the Daity Level tournament magic cards from the Deity 25 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,719 Level Tournament, please let me know. The best way to 26 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,760 do that is on speak pipe or you can leave 27 00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:56,719 me a voice message. Otherwise you can fill out the 28 00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:00,480 Google form or send me an email at dad Bedtime 29 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,760 Stories at gmail dot com. But now, I, uh, I 30 00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:09,800 say we get on with the story. Close your eyes, 31 00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:12,759 get as comfy as you can in that bed, and 32 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:18,240 imagine yourself doing what the kid in the story does. 33 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:26,840 You wake up inside your Cards of Power spaceship. Sitting 34 00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:29,599 in front of you on the wall is a calendar, 35 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,400 a calendar with a very important date circled, the date 36 00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:41,159 of the Galactic Card Federation's Deity Level Tournament, the one 37 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,360 you'd been getting ready for for so long, And well 38 00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:51,919 it turns out that sign ups start today. Magnus, you say, 39 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,199 we have to get going the Deity Level Tournament starting. 40 00:02:57,439 --> 00:03:03,400 What it is, people are going to be pretty disappointed 41 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:10,199 when they have to face up against my might. Uh yeah, 42 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,560 hopefully we'll have to go tell acts to get us there. Oh, 43 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:21,080 what planet was it on anyways? You ask, I think 44 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:26,879 the invitation said it was on Cardopolis Prime, the capital 45 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:33,919 of the Galactic Card Federation. Oh right, You and Magnus 46 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,159 head down the hall of your spaceship. You turn left 47 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,319 and go straight to the command center or bridge, where 48 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,840 you find as your tech axe a Lottel commanding an 49 00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:56,680 entire team of tech elves. The entire place looks completely different, 50 00:03:57,479 --> 00:04:06,120 completely upgraded. What happened here? You ask, Oh, I have 51 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,120 been doing some upgrades with the help of your elves. 52 00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:15,360 The ship is now quicker and more powerful than ever before. 53 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:23,120 These elves are a huge bonus. Ax says, uh, cool, Well, 54 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,959 we have to get going to Cardopolis Prime as quickly 55 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,319 as we can. Sign ups for the Deity level tournament 56 00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:36,120 or today, You tell him, ow, got it? Setting course 57 00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:41,000 right now, Ax begins to jump around from control panel 58 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,720 to control panel, pressing a whole bunch of different buttons, 59 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:50,639 before eventually standing at the pilot's station. The ship comes 60 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,839 to life with a rumble and slowly lifts up off 61 00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:59,839 of the ground. You fly higher and higher and higher 62 00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:06,319 up through the clouds, before pointing directly upwards and blasting 63 00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:12,839 through the atmosphere and out into space. Activating star drive. 64 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:19,240 Acts announces and suddenly all of the little dots in 65 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:25,040 space transform into streaks of light as the ship blasts 66 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:32,519 forward at an incredible speed. After a short trip, the 67 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,759 ship comes to a complete stop. In front of you 68 00:05:37,399 --> 00:05:44,399 is a large, beautiful earth like planet surrounded by five moons. 69 00:05:45,399 --> 00:05:51,439 There are spaceships everywhere, almost a traffic jam going on. 70 00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:58,720 A speaker on the front console engages welcome to Cardopolis Prime. 71 00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:04,160 If you're for the Deity level tournament, please proceed to 72 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:11,839 Moon Base one for sign up coordinates transferring to your spaceship. Now, 73 00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:20,279 I got it. Following the coordinates, Act says you slowly 74 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:26,000 get yourself in formation, following a small line of spaceships, 75 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,800 all heading towards the same moon. One by one, they 76 00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:34,240 land in a large parking lot, with the one of 77 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,680 those guys wearing a colorful vest and those little laid 78 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,319 up wavy things in his hand directing you where to land. 79 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,560 The ship lands in a large open spot and the 80 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,279 back hatch opens up. All right, Acts, we'll see you soon. 81 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:58,279 Stay here. You head oued into the parking lot, and well, 82 00:06:58,439 --> 00:07:01,639 you just sort of follow the lines of people who 83 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,000 look like they know where they're going most of the time. 84 00:07:05,079 --> 00:07:09,439 That works out for you. You see that this particular 85 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,680 moon is set up with all kinds of battle stadiums 86 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,279 on almost every side of the parking lot is an 87 00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:22,879 absolutely enormous stadium, just like the ones in the last 88 00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:26,279 planet you were on. It's as if the entire moon 89 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,040 is set up for this tournament, and based on all 90 00:07:31,079 --> 00:07:35,160 the people surrounding you, you're not the only one here 91 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:40,319 for it. There's all sorts of alien cardholders walking towards 92 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,240 the same line. One that looks like a floating jellyfish 93 00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:50,240 sort of creature. There's a giant rock person, a slug 94 00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:55,040 like alien wearing golden armor for some reason. A robot 95 00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:59,120 that is carrying a glass brain. You wonder if the 96 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:04,560 brain is the cardholder or the robot. There are very 97 00:08:04,639 --> 00:08:09,639 tall aliens and incredibly short aliens. In fact, there's one 98 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,759 that kind of looks like a mouse floating around on 99 00:08:12,839 --> 00:08:17,360 a little eh like a little platform scooter or something 100 00:08:17,439 --> 00:08:22,120 like that. You soon form into a line and wait 101 00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:25,920 as it makes its way forward. The line leads you 102 00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:30,079 through the doors of one of the biggest battle stadiums 103 00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:36,200 in the area and into one of the biggest battle arenas, 104 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,919 where there's a whole bunch of different foldout tables set 105 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,919 up with people behind each one. As tables free up, 106 00:08:45,399 --> 00:08:49,440 the people in the lines are escorted towards them. Soon 107 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,759 it's your turn, Table three. The person at the front 108 00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:59,679 of the line orders and you head over there. Eh, 109 00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:05,919 come to the Galactic Card Federations, and you will Deity 110 00:09:06,159 --> 00:09:12,559 Level tournament. You will need to provide certain information. He 111 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:17,399 passes you a little page asking for your name, home region, 112 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:25,159 descriptions of your Deity level cards, emergency contacts, and a 113 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:30,000 waiver that seems to uh well, take any liability away 114 00:09:30,039 --> 00:09:33,120 from the people running the tournament. If something terrible happens 115 00:09:33,159 --> 00:09:36,480 to you, you fill out the paper as quickly as 116 00:09:36,519 --> 00:09:42,919 you can and pass it back. Ah. Very good. Now, 117 00:09:42,919 --> 00:09:47,320 since it's your first time here, I should probably explain 118 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:53,600 a few things. The tournament has two major parts. The 119 00:09:53,639 --> 00:09:59,320 first part is the qualifying rounds. These rounds will be 120 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,960 one on one battles. You may pick a single card 121 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:11,159 in advance. I suggest picking your most powerful one, as 122 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,399 you cannot change cards in the future. You will be 123 00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:21,159 set to battle against other participants. Winners will go on 124 00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:26,039 to additional battles, and losers will be out of the tournament. 125 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,279 The number of rounds largely depends on the number of 126 00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:34,600 people you see. We can only take so many in 127 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,200 the final tournament, and we need to whittle the numbers down. 128 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,039 The entire moon is covered in display screens where you 129 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:49,039 can search for your name and find the time, location, 130 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:54,320 and opponent you will be battling next. If you win 131 00:10:54,639 --> 00:10:59,080 all of your qualifying rounds, you go on to the 132 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:05,960 main turn. It's a traditional tournament style where winners face 133 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:11,240 the winners and losers face the losers, that sort of thing. 134 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,080 If you get there, you will take place in a 135 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:21,200 three card battle. A coin will be flipped to see 136 00:11:21,279 --> 00:11:26,679 who picks their card first, whereas the other person will 137 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,639 have the advantage of choosing their card based on what 138 00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:35,480 the first person chooses. The winner of each round will 139 00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:40,720 pick their next card first, giving the loser the advantage 140 00:11:40,759 --> 00:11:45,519 for the next round, and so on in those rounds. 141 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,399 Winning two out of three battles means you move on. 142 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:55,000 But I'm probably getting ahead of myself. Where your cards 143 00:11:55,039 --> 00:11:59,600 do look interesting? Being your first time at this tournament, 144 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,840 I highly doubt you'll even qualify. Now, go on and 145 00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:09,000 check in a little while to see who you're battling first. 146 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,399 Boh and and of course take this. This is your 147 00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:17,600 tournament I dcart. You'll need to scat it to get 148 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,039 into various places in the tournament, like your battles, for example, 149 00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:28,519 or the complimentary hotel room we've booked for you. Don't worry. 150 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,559 It's fully compatible with your card core. You may absorb 151 00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:38,519 it now. You focus on the card and it immediately 152 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:43,000 lights up a bright blue color and blasts into your chest. 153 00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:48,879 H cool. It doesn't feel as powerful as your other cards, 154 00:12:48,919 --> 00:12:53,440 but you can still tell it's there. You and Magnus 155 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,559 make your way out of the line, bent over to 156 00:12:56,639 --> 00:13:00,840 one of the many computer terminals that are bread throughout 157 00:13:00,879 --> 00:13:05,960 the place. The screen asks you to well present your 158 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,960 ID card, so you do. You reach into your card core, 159 00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:16,159 activate the ID card, and it appears in front of you. 160 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:22,960 The computer scans, it, processes, and then displays a schedule. 161 00:13:23,919 --> 00:13:28,440 Only your first battle is currently displayed, along with the 162 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:34,120 time and place, which is in ten minutes and in 163 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,919 one of the stadiums off to the side. Uh, Magnus, 164 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,320 I think we gotta get going. Ah, yeah, sounds good, 165 00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:49,000 Magnus replies. You run out of the battle stadium into 166 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,919 the parking lot, searching around for Stadium three, which is 167 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,000 where the schedule said you had to go. You see 168 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,559 a sign for Stadium three in the distance and start 169 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:05,519 running towards it, across the parking lot and straight into 170 00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:10,120 the stadium doors. This one isn't as busy as the others, 171 00:14:10,279 --> 00:14:14,279 but there's still quite a few people. You run up 172 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:20,759 to the help desk. I'm here for my match, you say, 173 00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:27,600 almost entirely out of breath. Excellent, please present your ID cod. 174 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,240 You once again summon your glowing blue ID card in 175 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,279 front of you. The lady picks up a little hand scanner, 176 00:14:38,039 --> 00:14:42,320 scans the thing, and looks over at her computer. You're 177 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:48,960 set to battle in battle Arena two in oh five minutes. 178 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:54,039 You better get going. It's that way. You follow where 179 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,879 she's pointing. Run down the hall until you see a 180 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,919 large two hanging up up above an elevator. You and 181 00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:09,120 Magnus run inside the elevator. The doors close and you 182 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:15,000 slowly move upward. When the door's open, you enter into 183 00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:20,120 a gigantic battle arena one, just like on the last 184 00:15:20,279 --> 00:15:25,159 battle planet you were on. The ground itself is made 185 00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:30,720 of dirt and stone, and there's a little bit from 186 00:15:30,799 --> 00:15:38,320 almost every biome you can imagine, snow, sand, water. That 187 00:15:38,559 --> 00:15:42,440 sort of thing obviously set up to not give anyone 188 00:15:42,559 --> 00:15:47,600 any particular advantage, and of course to create a more 189 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:53,879 natural place to do battle, one that mimics the wilds. Well, 190 00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:59,039 are you the opponent? A man dressed in a sort 191 00:15:59,039 --> 00:16:03,759 of referee uniform asks you, Uh, yeah, I'm here to 192 00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:09,519 do battle. Excellent, Come on over here. Your opponents already 193 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:17,279 here and ready to go. Let me introduce you to Walker. Now, 194 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,559 I just want to go over a couple things for 195 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:26,120 this match here, just a few reminders. First of all, 196 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:32,200 you've both already declared your cards. I see on the 197 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:37,320 form here that you will be using a Deity level 198 00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:44,639 fire dragon named Magnus. Is that right? You nod an agreement, 199 00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:50,840 and Walker, it seems that you have chosen a deity 200 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:59,440 level cat card called Camper. Is that correct? Man, Yes, 201 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:06,440 that is correct, Walker responds. Beside him. Is a cat 202 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:13,000 a little larger than most cats and wearing a camping backpack. 203 00:17:14,759 --> 00:17:20,480 Did he say deity level camping cat? How is that 204 00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:24,000 possibly going to do battle? You say to yourself in 205 00:17:24,039 --> 00:17:28,200 your head. But well, you try not to get over confident. 206 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,720 After all, anyone at this tournament is likely fairly powerful. 207 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:40,440 All right, well, card holders, you must stay in your 208 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,200 designated area. You can give orders, but you may not 209 00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:50,119 use any other cards. The first person to blast their 210 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,119 opponent back to their card cores wins and will go 211 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:59,960 on to the next round. Many questions, You and Walker 212 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,880 both shake your heads. Good. Now go to your sides 213 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,960 of the battle arena, he orders you. Walk over to 214 00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:14,440 your little designated circle. As soon as you step inside, 215 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:20,319 a sort of energy force field surrounds you, obviously designed 216 00:18:20,319 --> 00:18:24,880 to protect you from the battle. It closes both underneath 217 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:31,480 your feet, above your head, and entirely around you. Walker 218 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,519 enters his and the referee presses a button on his watch. 219 00:18:37,559 --> 00:18:41,599 He floats up in the air and is surrounded by 220 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:47,119 a bubble of energy himself. He floats back and away 221 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:53,000 from the battle, and then begins to speak. All right, 222 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,680 it's tag for your cards to step forward. I see 223 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,960 you've both already. He activated them, so they can step 224 00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:08,799 into the arena. Now you look over at Magnus, who's 225 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:14,160 just standing beside the little protective bubble. Eh, don't worry. 226 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,119 I don't think a camping cat is gonna be much 227 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:24,160 of a problem, he says. Then he walks over towards 228 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:29,720 the center line of the arena. The cat nods towards 229 00:19:29,839 --> 00:19:37,839 walker and does the same. All right, cat, well, good luck, 230 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,960 you're probably gonna need it, Magnus says, as he begins 231 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:49,319 to glow and grows larger and larger and larger, taking 232 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:56,279 on his deity level form a gigantic black dragon with 233 00:19:56,599 --> 00:20:03,240 veins of pure sunlight energy. But for some reason, the 234 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,480 camping cat doesn't look particularly impressed. He just licks the 235 00:20:08,519 --> 00:20:12,160 back of his paw, rubs it on top of his head, 236 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:21,680 and then flicks open his backpack. Will begin in three 237 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:29,480 two one go. For a second, Magnus and the cat 238 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,359 just stare at each other, and then Magnus decides to 239 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,920 start things off. He takes in a deep breath and 240 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:44,160 blasts out a plume of fire towards the cat. The 241 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:49,880 cat jumps out of the way almost instantly. Then he 242 00:20:50,039 --> 00:20:55,799 pulls something out of his backpack, ugh a fire extinguisher. 243 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,880 He pulls the trigger and a plume of ice energy 244 00:21:01,039 --> 00:21:06,759 shoots out. It instantly puts out Magnus's fire and then 245 00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:12,400 starts covering him in a layer of ice. Although it's 246 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:17,960 not particularly effective. Magnus heats himself up, breaks out of 247 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,880 the ice, and stares over at the cat. The cat 248 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:30,279 responds by shooting out hell ropes. Ten different ropes suddenly 249 00:21:30,319 --> 00:21:34,039 blast out of the back of his backpack. They float 250 00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:38,720 through the air and start to wrap around Magnus's limbs. 251 00:21:39,519 --> 00:21:43,279 They wrap his two front legs together, his two back 252 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,880 legs together, and then start knotting themselves up around and 253 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,839 around his body, pulling him down towards the ground. Hey 254 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:59,799 where is this? He says, Before he can do anything 255 00:21:59,839 --> 00:22:03,839 to fight back, the cat pulls something else out of 256 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:10,880 his backpack, a poncho. He puts the poncho on, and 257 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:18,720 in a little twinkle of light, he suddenly disappears. Magnus, 258 00:22:19,079 --> 00:22:22,559 I think that might be an invisibility pancho watch out. 259 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:29,400 I kind of saw that. Magnus responds, getting frustrated with 260 00:22:29,519 --> 00:22:35,279 the ropes. Magnus heats up his entire body. His veins 261 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:41,359 glow brighter and brighter until he is glowing like the 262 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:48,000 sun itself. The ropes disintegrate, and then well. The cat 263 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,200 appears directly in front of him, holding a large can 264 00:22:52,319 --> 00:22:59,240 that reads Deity Level Bear Spray. He pulls the trigger 265 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:06,480 and the stream of very very intense pemper spray shoots 266 00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:13,400 out directly into Magnus's eyes. He roars in pain, closes 267 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:19,759 his eyes, and starts whipping around in circles. Wow, my eyes, 268 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:27,640 you little Magnus crows, angrier and angrier, his body still 269 00:23:27,839 --> 00:23:33,880 lit up in a bright white heat. The cat disappears 270 00:23:34,039 --> 00:23:40,119 once again, but slowly, something else starts to appear, or 271 00:23:40,839 --> 00:23:46,720 some things else, a whole bunch of different bear traps, 272 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,440 you know, the circular kind with the spikes that snap 273 00:23:51,559 --> 00:23:55,759 together if you step on them. Clearly, the cat is 274 00:23:55,799 --> 00:23:59,279 making its way around the arena and littering the entire 275 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:04,359 place with the things, while Magnus, still completely blind from 276 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:11,160 the pepper spray, is just kind of whipping around frantically until, 277 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:16,200 of course, he hits one of the traps. The gigantic 278 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:23,279 mechanism snaps together and pierces Magnus's front right arm. He 279 00:24:23,559 --> 00:24:29,119 screams in pain again, then backs up and accidentally hits 280 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:34,039 another one with his tail. It snaps around him, causing 281 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:41,119 another whine of pain. I clearly shouldn't have underestimated this 282 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:47,400 camping cat, card, you say out loud, as Magnus continues 283 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:55,079 to trip trap after trap until he stops puffing and puffing, 284 00:24:55,839 --> 00:25:00,240 still trying to clear his eyes and see straight. But 285 00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:03,319 it seems that the camping cat isn't going to give 286 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,839 him any time to do that. He begins appearing in 287 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,240 different parts of the arena and throwing something out of 288 00:25:12,279 --> 00:25:20,680 his backpack. Some things, anyways, things that look suspiciously like marshmallows. 289 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,720 The marshmallows fly through the air, and as soon as 290 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:31,799 they hit Magnus's heat, they explode into huge globs of 291 00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:39,799 gooey fire, covering Magnus's arms, legs, head. The marshmallows continue 292 00:25:39,839 --> 00:25:44,880 to fly until Magnus is covered in not only a 293 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:50,920 whole bunch of metal bear traps, but a sticky layer 294 00:25:51,039 --> 00:26:00,599 of marshmallow. Alright, Magnus says, trying to stay calm. I 295 00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:07,440 was trying to be nice, but apparently I'm gonna have 296 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,960 to do this a little bit differently. He doesn't move 297 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:20,960 or struggle any longer. He just begins to well glow 298 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,839 hotter and hotter and hotter, until you can barely look 299 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,759 at him. With a single stomp of his front legs, 300 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:38,759 the ground melts itself into lava. In response, the cat 301 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,519 jumps into the air and pulls out his fire extinguisher again, 302 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,640 spraying a spot on the ground, solidifying it into rock 303 00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:52,119 and landing directly in the center of it. At the 304 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:57,440 same time, Magnus dives down into the pool of lava 305 00:26:57,519 --> 00:27:01,920 he's created in the bottom of the battle. The cat 306 00:27:02,079 --> 00:27:06,720 continues to spray the area around him with his well 307 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:12,480 superpowered freezing fire extinguisher or whatever it is, creating enough 308 00:27:12,519 --> 00:27:16,799 of a platform for him to move around on. Then 309 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:23,000 he uses his poncho to become invisible once again, though 310 00:27:23,079 --> 00:27:27,039 it's probably not that much help since Magnus can assume 311 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:33,599 he isn't well standing on the lava. A gigantic form 312 00:27:33,759 --> 00:27:37,279 of a lava dragon pops up in front of the 313 00:27:37,319 --> 00:27:42,559 little platform and climbs up on top of it. Instantly, 314 00:27:43,319 --> 00:27:47,720 the cat appears again and sprays the same can of 315 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,759 bear spray, then pulls out the fire extinguisher and blasts 316 00:27:52,799 --> 00:28:01,599 the creature. It slowly solidifies into obsidian, allowing the camping 317 00:28:01,759 --> 00:28:07,160 cat to make the correct realization that it wasn't even Magnus, 318 00:28:08,039 --> 00:28:10,920 it was just a clump of lava that looked like 319 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:17,039 a dragon. But that realization is made a little bit 320 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:23,359 too late, as the real Magnus, covered in lava, pops 321 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:29,160 up from behind and instantly commands the lava to surround 322 00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:33,839 the cat. A wave of lava from every side crashes 323 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,519 together at once, lifts the cat up into the air 324 00:28:38,039 --> 00:28:46,920 and instantly solidifies into obsidian and without hesitation. Magnus takes 325 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:52,960 in a deep breath and unleashes a blast of well 326 00:28:53,559 --> 00:29:00,160 mixed energy fire surrounded by lava and a touch of 327 00:29:00,279 --> 00:29:06,680 lightning directly at the trapped cat. Unable to get anything 328 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:11,279 out of his backpack or react in any way, the 329 00:29:11,359 --> 00:29:18,880 cat is instantly blasted back into energy. He reforms into 330 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:24,200 Walker's card core, and the referee announces the end of 331 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:29,000 the match. Well, folks, I believe we have a winner. 332 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:35,400 Your next round should be posted for tomorrow. I wish 333 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:40,440 you good luck. Now, if you could turn this arena 334 00:29:40,599 --> 00:29:44,119 back to something we could all walk on, that would 335 00:29:44,119 --> 00:29:50,559 be great. Magnus floats up in the air and almost 336 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:57,960 instantly transforms the lava into pure obsidian. It doesn't really 337 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,599 leave the battle arena looking like it started, but it's 338 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,799 at least something that everybody can walk on. The referee 339 00:30:06,039 --> 00:30:11,279 lands in the middle, deactivating his energy shield, and at 340 00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:16,559 the same time, the shield around you, and Walker disappears 341 00:30:16,599 --> 00:30:20,319 as well. If you do would like to walk to 342 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:25,920 the center to shake hands, that would be traditional. You 343 00:30:26,119 --> 00:30:31,519 walk forward and reach your hand out towards Walker. Gotta 344 00:30:31,559 --> 00:30:35,400 be honest, that camping cad cart was way more powerful 345 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:40,039 than I thought it would be. Yeah, people often underestimate it, 346 00:30:40,079 --> 00:30:45,119 but well, obviously you're at a different level of power. 347 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:50,839 Walker says, I'll be rooting for you. I hope you 348 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:56,759 win this entire thing. You shake hands with Walker. Clearly 349 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:02,480 there's no hard feelings. Eh, Are you new here? Walker asks, 350 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,799 he hath never been before. You say, now, well, then 351 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,359 let me show you around. You follow Walker into the 352 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:17,440 elevator and out of the battle arena. The uh hotels 353 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,720 are this way. You should already have one buked. You 354 00:31:21,839 --> 00:31:26,640 walk between two large battle arenas to another area with 355 00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:31,920 a bunch of large tower like structures. Walker helps you 356 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,640 to the front desk, where you receive a card key 357 00:31:35,799 --> 00:31:41,000 after presenting your ID to them. Then he waves good 358 00:31:41,079 --> 00:31:45,359 bye to you. At the elevators, You and Magnus, who 359 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,839 is transformed back into his dragonling form, make your way 360 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:55,319 up to the fourth floor and over to Hotel Room 361 00:31:55,599 --> 00:31:58,920 four oh one, which is the number your key has 362 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:04,359 on it. You scan the key and enter into a 363 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:11,519 very luxurious looking hotel room, two beds, hot tubs, sna 364 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:18,480 and well a fully starked fridge.
