"The Strongest Chandra"




"The Strongest Chandra"
by:
Virgilio F. De leon Jr.



     The room was on fire. It was the kind of fire that made everything shimmer and those that were not made of it to be reduced to Ash. She was enjoying it , wondering how the walls of this room still stood in her presence. Wherever she was there was a constant set of flames that were always dancing about her. This time however she was aware that there were other flames  this room as well. As the fire crept on the walls and touched hers she felt a slight tingling in her mind and soon She came face to face with the owners of these new fires and she was surprised to find who they were.

Who are you she asked?

I am you Chandra...Nalaar
I am you Chandra...Ablaze
I am you Chandra...The Fire brand

     The voices echoed all at once in her head. She had always wanted to meet someone like herself because she thought she was unique in all the multiverse and now that she has come face to face with them she knew that there would only be one of them emerging from this here. Only one will be the true flame in all the multiverse.



      Chandra is one of the most favorite Planeswalkers in all of existence and what is not to love? All versions of her have the ability to reach out...and burn someone..or at least something that belongs to that planeswalker or mage. And let us face it we all have been Red Mages or Red Planeswalkers one way or another because one of the draws of the game of magic is the ability to kill or blow something up. There was a time and there would still be a time that Red is all we want to play because of the pure raw power that we would be able to harness.No fuss. Just simply getting down to the business of reducing things to nothingness.

     In the case of the 3 Planeswalker representations of Chandra , they could all easily destroy each other with their tremendous firepower. It all really depends on who gets to go first. In this battle the only one at a disadvantage is the Original Chandra Nalaar. Both Ablaze and Firebrand could destroy each other the turns that they come in or in the story both of them could fling fire spells at each other that could consume each other. Chandra Nalaar on the other hand seemed to have been made for another era entirely. She was made to handle creatures and to deal immense damage to planeswalkers as her Ultimate ability. The other 2 however have been built to give more damage with their first and second abilities. Ablaze needs to have a card discarded and it could deal 4 damage with its first ability. For Firebrand, you could cast a lightning bolt , -2 on her second ability and your could kill either Nalaar or Ablaze in one blow...



     Chandra Nalaar and the Firebrand decided to gang up on the Planeswalker known as Chandra Ablaze but her constant fire spells have damaged them both. The 2 hesitated only for a moment. They had to admire the conflagration that was now before them. In its writhing flames the spells that Chandra Ablaze had cast were now being powered and in one mighty blow , Lightning Bolts  , Volcanic Hammers , Incinerates and Shocks all came out to hit the young and old versions of herself. She felt the spells smash through her as well but since she was the one who cast it , it became a part of her and made her even more powerful. Chandra Ablaze stood before her other selves or what was left of them.

"Tsk tsk tsk" she said to herself. With a slight swing of her arm a Circle of Fire opened and the brightest flame in the multiverse went on unopposed in her quest to experience more things.
