"**Eternal Friendship**" is the 7th episode of the series.

Twilight is staying in Paris, where she will enter a tournament, in which Tidal Wave is entering. At this point, Twilight meets a girl similar to her named Moondancer, in which she duels against before her duel. Will she win?

## Featured Duels

### Tidal Wave vs. Backdraft

The duel continues from an unspecified turn. Tidal controls "Commander of the Raging Storm Soveruin" (2400/2200) and "Splash Sergeant" (1700/1300) in Attack Position and 2200 Life Points. Backdraft controls "Tyrant Dragon" (2900/2500) and "Masked Dragon" (1400/1000) in Defense Position and 2700 Life Points.

**Turn ?: Tidal**

He then activates "Rebirth Ritual" to Level Up "Soveruin" and perform a Ritual Evolution, Tributing it to Ritual Summon "Master of the Storm Admiral Soveruin" (2800/2500) in Attack Position. "Admiral Soveruin" attacks and destroys "Tyrant Dragon". Since "Admiral Soveruin" destroyed a monster by battle, its effect activates, destroying "Masked Dragon" and inflicting damage to Backdraft equal to its ATK (Backdraft 2700 > 1300). "Splash Sergeant" attacks Backdraft directly (Backdraft 1300 > 0).

### Twilight Sparkle vs. Moondancer

**Turn 1: Twilight**

Twilight draws. She then Normal Summons "White Wing Magician" (1600/1400) in Attack Position. She then Sets a card.

**Turn 2: Moondancer**

Moondancer draws. She then activates "Spellbook of Summoning" to draw until she gets a monster. If it's a Level 4 or lower Spellcaster-Type monster, she can Special Summon it, but she will take damage equal to its Level x100. She finds Level 3 "Apprentice Scholar", so she Special Summons it (1200/1300) in Attack Position (Moondancer 4000 → 3700). She then Normal Summons "Ideal Scholar Tiora" (1700/1000) in Attack Position. "Ideal Scholar Tiora" attacks "White Wing Magician", but Twilight activates her face-down "Negate Attack" to negate the attack and end the Battle Phase, however Moondancer activates the effect of "Ideal Scholar Tiora" to negate the activation of "Negate Attack" and flip it face-down by discarding a "Spellbook" card. "Tiora" then destroys "White Wing Magician" (Twilight 4000 → 3900). Since a "Scholar" monster destroyed a monster by battle, the effect of "Apprentice Scholar" activates, allowing Moondancer to destroy Twilight's face-down "Negate Attack" and inflict 500 damage to Twilight (Twilight 3900 → 3400).

**Turn 3: Twilight**

Twilight draws. She then Normal Summons "Defender, the Magical Knight" (1600/2000) in Attack Position. Since "Defender, the Magical Knight" was summoned, its effect places a Spell Counter on itself. She then activates "Spellbook of Power" to increase the ATK of "Defender, the Magical Knight" by 1000 ("Defender, the Magical Knight": 1600 → 2600/2000). "Defender" attacks and destroys "Tiora" (Moondancer 3700 → 2800). Since "Defender" destroyed a monster by battle, the effect of "Spellbook of Power" activates, allowing Twilight to add a "Spellbook" card from her Deck to her hand. She adds "Spellbook of Wisdom". She then Sets a card.

She then activates its effect to look at the top three cards of her Deck and place a Spellcaster-Type Pendulum Monster among them on top of her Extra Deck. She places "Harmonizing Magician". After that happens, the second effect of "Mystic Dracoteen" allows Twilight to Special Summon a Tuner monster from her Deck whose Level is lower than the placed monster. She Special Summons "Shadow Charmer" (1200/700) in Attack Position. She then tunes the Level 4 "Mystic Dracoteen" with the Level 3 Tuner monster "Shadow Charmer" in order to Synchro Summon "Twilight Warlock" (2500/2100) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to look at the top five cards of her Deck and add any "Spellbook" card among them to her hand. She adds "Spellbook of Rebirth".

She then Pendulum Summons "Moondancing Scholar Saltalunam" (2100/2800) from her hand in Attack Position. Since "Saltalunam" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Moondancer to add "Magic Tome of Starswirl" from her Deck to her hand, She then equips "Saltalunam" with "Magic Tome of Starswirl", increasing its ATK by 100 for every "Spellbook" card in Moondancer's Graveyard.

"Imperial Magician of Twilight" attacks "Saltalunam". She then activates the former's effect to banish all "Spellbook" cards from her Graveyard, increase its ATK by 500 for each one and reduce the ATK of "Saltalunam" by the same amount. She banishes three ("Imperial Magician of Twilight": 3500 → 5000/2800; "Saltalunam": 2600 → 1100/2800).
