  Speaker 1: universe where kids are given magical cards which give them
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: magical powers and you know, sent off into the forest
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to fight magical creatures. Most recently we've been involved in
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: a deity level tournament where you know, magical creatures battle
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: other magical creatures. And we have a perfect listener suggestion

  Speaker 2: Hi, my name is May and my name is Henry.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: We would like a suggestion for the Cards of Power series,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: where does a girl named Mae and she has a
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: spatter painting cat. If Magnus gets fully splattered and paint
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: one of his attacks he can't use.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: And also if she uses click dry paint, maybe this
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: would get stuck and then you'll have to melt it up. Bye,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: love the podcast.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: All right, Maevin, Henry, I am taking that as some
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: kind of cat that shoots out some sort of paint
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: blake substance that takes powers away and can also kind
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: of freeze people in place. So that's what we're going

• 3:07
  Speaker 1: time to close your eyes, get as comfortable as you
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: can in that bed, and imagine yourself doing what the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: kid in the story does.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: You wake up.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Once again inside the alien Tournament hotel that you've been
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: staying in. You push Magnus awake. He groans, gets up,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: stretches like a cat, and asks you the question he
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: almost always asks you, Ah, so what are we getting
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: up to today?
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure we have the last round of the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: preliminary deity level tournament. You answer, now, yeah, Well, as
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: long as we beat this one next person, I guess
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: we move on to the actual tournament. That's right, you say,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I want to go get some breakfast. Doe I ever,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: once again, you and Magnus head down the elevator and
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: get that sweet, sweet Continental Hotel breakfast, a buffet of
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: all sorts of breakfast treats and treasures. Following that, you
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: head over to one of the computer screens. You present
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: your ID card from your card core, and a little
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: schedule pomps up in front of you. You are up
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: against h someone named Mave in fifteen minutes Building five
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Arena one. All right, Magnus, we better get over to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Building five, you say. You run outside and immediately summon
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: your wing card. Two powerful energy wings shoot out behind
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: your back, and you easily float up in the air
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: over top of the rest of the crowd. Magnus lifts
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: up off the ground using his own wings and floats
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: beside you. You immediately head over to Building five. You
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: land in front of the doors, retract your wing card
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and head inside, straight to the registration table.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: AH.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Welcome, Ah, please present your id. The man behind the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: table says, you present your tournament id once again. He
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: scans it with a little device and looks on his computer.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Very good, You will be competing in h Irena number
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: one very shortly. I suggest you get there right away.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: It's that way, he says, pointing to his left. You
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: head over to the giant number one sign, climb in
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the elevator with Magnus beside you, and press the button.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: The doors close.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: The elevator lifts up to the next floor, and you
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: step out onto a tournament surface that looks just like
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: all the other ones. A real dirt and rock ground,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a little pool of water, some shrubbery and living plants
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and grass, and of course air. There's air everywhere after all.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Once again, you're the last one there. Your opponent, Mave
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: is already waiting at the center beside the referee. You
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: walk up, shake Maeve's hand, and introduce yourself. All right there, everyone,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Welcome to another preliminary round of the Deity level tournament.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: You all know the rules. This is what they call
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: sudden death. You lose, you're out. You win, well, you
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: go on to the real Deity level tournament. Now, on
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: my left we have Mave along with her chosen magical creature,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: splatter Cat. On the right, we got this person here, uh,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: whatever your name is, along with a fire dragon named Magnus.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Please proceed to your sir Guls and I will announce
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the match as you always have before.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: You walk back to your little protective circle. Almost immediately,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: of force field forms around your body all the way
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: up to the ceiling. Mave does the same on the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: other side, and the referee floats into the air, covered
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: by a force field of his own. You give Magnus
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a little nod, and immediately he begins to evolve, growing
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: larger and larger and larger, before shrinking down a little
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: bit to his deity level, form a large and powerful
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: black fire dragonling with veins of pure heat energy. Across
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: from him stands the splatter Cat, a fairly ordinary looking
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: house cat, though it too suddenly starts to grow larger
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: and larger and larger, until it's closer to the size
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: of an elephant than a cat. Its fur lights up
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: with little spots that solidify into different colors of well,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: spots that look kind of like paint. You wonder exactly
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: what this splattered cat does? All right, everybody, we're going
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: to begin the match in three two one go. Magnus
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: decides not to waste any time. He begins to glow,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: slams his claws down into the ground, and energy spreads
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: out from them, cracking the ground into little bits before
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: melting it and transforming it into lava. Little veins of
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: lava begin to form, and the splatter Cat jumps up
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: in the air, lifts its tail, and whips it towards Magnus.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: A splatter of what looks like red paint hits Magnus
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: directly in the chest. It doesn't seem to hurt him
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: or anything, but it does glow a strange color, and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: slowly the little streaks of lava start to sort of
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: harden up again, back into obsidian. Magnus slams his claws
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: down into the ground again, but this time nothing happens.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: No lava, no anything.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Ah, what's going on, he says, My lava power seem
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Or something.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Try a different element, you, yell to Magnus, quickly listening
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: but looking rather shaken. Magnus jumps to the side, reaches
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: towards the water with his hand and sort of telepathically
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: lifts it up out of the pool, freezing it into
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a huge spike before launching it at the cat. The
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: cat jumps out of the way, flicks its tail, and
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: hits Magnus with another blast of paint.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Again.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: The paint glows for a moment before well, just turning
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: into a big splotch of paint all across his body.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: He attempts to reach for the water once again, but
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: this time nothing happens. The water doesn't move, nothing lifts
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: up into the air. My water element's blocked now, now,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: what is this thing doing? Well, I'm not entirely sure,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you say, but if I were you, I wouldn't get
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: hit by that paint anymore, right, Magnus says, as the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: splatter cad fires another blast of paint towards him. Magnus
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: immediately reaches into the ground and has rocks and earth
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: shoot up in front of him, blocking the splatter of paint. Luckily,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: his straight up earth powers still seem to be working.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: He stomps on the ground again, sending rocks up in
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the air, then with a flick of his tail, he
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: sends them flying towards the splatter cat. The cat jumps
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to the left, jumps to the right, and gets hit
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: by one of the rocks directly in the center, sending
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the cat flying backwards and slamming against the wall. It
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: gets up, shakes the dust off its fur, and hisses clearly, yeah,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: that old thing made it angry.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: And apparently a lot more aggressive. The cat charges towards.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Magnus and starts to launch splatter after splatter of paint.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Magnus uses the power of earth to shoot up little
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: walls blocking the paint, before firing little pieces of rock
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: from the wall back at the creature. The defensive strategy
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: works pretty well for a while, and Magnus is able
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to avoid any paint splatter. But soon the cat gets
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: a sort of grasp of his defensive strategy. It shoots
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: a splatter of paint towards Magnus, which is blocked by
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: a little rock wall. Then it immediately twists to the right,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: spinning in a circle and whipping its tail around. Another
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: paint splatter flies right at Magnus around the little rock wall,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and this time it connects with his side. All of
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the rocks immediately drop from the air, crumbling to the ground. Ah,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Magnus says, realizing that his grasp of rock energy is
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: gone as well. Now, only this time, he doesn't hesitate.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: He reaches into the ground with his mind, summoning every
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: living thing he can find. The grass grows taller, the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: little shrubs expand, and all of them start to transform intovines,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: wrapping themselves around the splatter cat. In response, the the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: splatder cat draws its claws, large knife like claws, and
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: begins slicing through the vines with ease, breaking apart trees
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: and making his way back towards Magnus. Magnus reaches out
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: with vines, but the cat jumps up in the air,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: performs a perfect front flip and ends with a whip
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: of its tail and a splatter of paint straight into
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Magnus's face.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Ow.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: He yells as he stumbles around blind For a moment,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: he summons a little tornado of air, but the splatter
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: cat hits him again. Blind and cut off for many
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: of his powers, Magnus stumbles backwards as the splattered cat
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: continues to hit him with all sorts of paint. Each
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: splatter slows Magnus down a little bit more. Soon it
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: becomes a sort of thick layer of goo. The cat's
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: eyes laid up, and slowly Magnus stops moving. The paint
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: solidifies around him, trapping him in place. Oh well, then
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the referee says, it seems that Magnus has become trapped.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: If he can't get out of this shortly, I'll be
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: forced to call an end to the match. Come on, buddy,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: there's gotta be something else you say. And as you
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: say it, the world outside your little protective circle starts
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to get a lot colder. The cat's breath becomes visible,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: The little body of water freezes in place, and the
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: splattered cat starts to look very, very uncomfortable. It attempts
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: to walk forward towards Magnus, but it's visibly shivering. Magnus
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: must be drawing all of the heat out of the air.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Then Magnus, covered in a gigantic glare of completely frozen paint,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: starts to glow slightly. Cracks form, and the paint followed
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: by a giant burst of sunlight energy. The paint surrounding
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Magness almost instantly evaporates. The light is so bright that
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the splattered cat has to close its eyes and turn away,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and in that instant unleashes a powerful blast of pure
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: sunlight energy. The blast instantly shoots across the battlefield straight
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: into the cat, sending the thing flying across the arena
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: into the back wall. Magnus continues to glow, looking as
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: though he's well the sun itself, and the stream of
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: energy continues to fly towards the cat, pressing it up
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: against the back wall, leaving it unable to move. He
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: continues making his way forward as the cat explodes into
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: a bright blue energy and reforms into Mave's cardcore.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Then Ladies and and gentlemen, I believe we have a winner.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Magnus stops glowing, allowing you to finally fully open your
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: eyes again. The force fields disappear around you and Mave,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: and you both step forward to the center line. Ah, well,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: good battle, Maeve says, I thought I had you there. Huh, honestly,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I thought you had us there too, You respond, I
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: guess your whole paint power negation thing didn't take out
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Magnus's core ability though, Yeah, I guess not. I mean
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: it only works when you're using a particular power, and
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I think by the time he used that one, he
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: was already covered in paint. Now, well live and learn.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Mave turns away and heads directly into the elevator. Well there, kid,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the referee says, it looks like you'll be going on
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: to the real deity level tournament. I certainly suggest you
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: get a little rest. You're only gonna be fighting other
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: people who are undefeated in this round from here on out.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: It won't be as easy. You nod in understanding, as
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Magnus shrinks back down to his normal dragonling size. Together,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: you head back to the elevator, press the button, and
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: move down towards the main floor. The elevator dings as
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: you step out, walk down the hall and out the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: doors of the large arena.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Again.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: You summon your magic wing card and float up into
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: the air and Magnus fly high above the large parking lot,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: surrounded by all sorts of battle arenas until you arrive
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: back at the hotel. You land in front of the doors,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: call your wing card back into your core and walk inside.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: You move towards the elevators again, go up to your
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: floor and step out into the hallway. You walk to
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: your room, open it up with the key card, and
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: head inside. Once again. You find a little room service
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: card with an entire feast on it, a board on
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: top full of all sorts of different foods, burghers, tacos, pizza,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: anything you could imagine, and a little tray on the
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: bottom full of all sorts of different desserts ice creams, pies, cakes, treats.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: Everything.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: You look at, Magnus before looking back at the tray
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: of food and beginning to.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Eat your fill.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: You eventually find a card that says, congratulations on making
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: it to the Deity level tournament. We thought you could
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: use a little more energy. Well, isn't that nice? You
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: say to Magnus, as you continue to eat a little
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: bit of everything you want. Before long your stomach's more
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: full than it reasonably should be, and Magnus looks, uh, well,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: he looks a lot rounder than he used to. You
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: both laid down on the bed, lay back on the pillows,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: and close your eyes. With each breath, your mind begins
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: to wander away. With each breath, your muscles start to
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: relax a little bit more, letting go of any tension
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: and melting into the bed. You let go of the
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: tension and your shoulders, your arms, your legs, your neck,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: and even your face, and slowly your mind begins to
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: wander off to thoughts of new dreams, new adventures, and
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: new deity level opponents. To come good night everyone.
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: In us, and never name.
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: M M m M, never Union ACoM in New yor
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: Union No mo mo m M one one man
