Second Chance
Discoveries, Magic, and a Duel!
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs always, mornings in Golden Oaks library started early, this time, though, was because a very ladylike screech that come from the second store of the building, followed by a angry dragon yelling at the top of his lungs.
“You bring her HERE!” Spike yelled, “what about letting her sleep with you, or…” however, his lips were zipped by a lavender glow, and a very annoyed Twilight came down after him, also shouting “Yes, yes I do!, and before you continue, let me tell you how frightened she was, all alone in the forest, now I need you to…” both fall silent when with a flash of light, a Pegasus with a black and gold rimmed armor look at them from the ceiling, a katana in his hoof, and at the same time, an sleep deprived alicorn exit the room near the kitchen, looking to the stairs at Twilight and Spike as if he was seriously thinking how blood stains could be removed from the wood, instinctively, the unicorn and the dragon hurled together.
“Quit it you two, I am trying to do something here, and you both are arguing too damn early in the morning” Second Chance said, not paying attention to the terrified librarian and fire breathing lizard, after the white male alicorn didn't receive any answer, he looked up, noticing their terrified expressions, quickly dismissed the armor pony on the main room, “Kizan, come back, I don’t think they are going to do anything.” After recovering from the scare, Twilight removed the baby dragon from her forelegs and run to the alicorn, all the previous fear diminished and changed into curiosity.
“Wow, that is another monster in the game no? How did you summon it? How many types are? And how do you do to…” whatever the Librarian was saying, were lost when a white hoof was put in her mouth, silencing her.
“And I have thought that Pinkie Pie was the only one motormouthed” Second Chance says, chuckling, “however, Twilight I want to ask you something first, then if you want, I can answer whatever you want to ask me about Duel Monsters, and maybe even I lend you a book of my collection.” When he plucks out his hoof from the mouth of the librarian, the look of delight on Twilight’s face tell him that he had made a terrible mistake.
“You have BOOKS with you?” Twilight screeches in excitement, “why you didn’t say so!”
“Oh boy you are sooo screwed” Spike butt's in, stifling a laughter at the annoyed face the stallion was making, “anyhow, I am going to make breakfast, and some coffee” and the little purple lizard left, the only ones remaining in the main room of the treebrary were a very wary alicorn and a unicorn with little stars on her eyes and a dreamy look.
“Tell... me... EVERYTHING!!”
“Well… Buck”
Second Chance actually explain everything he could remember about his world (with some aids from the yu gi oh universe for making it more interesting) to Twilight in the breakfast, who was taking notes at a frantic pace, also the alicorn was surprised when he found also a second spectator in a very interested Nyx and a little confused baby dragon when he was telling the different types of cards.
“So, one of the types are Dragons?” the little lizard asks, a claw on his chin, "how powerful are they?”
“Well Spike, actually the dragon type cards in Duel Monsters are one of the most old, also one of the most powerfull, the other two being Warriors and Spellcasters, actually those 3 types where the original 3 pyramid starters on the game, after that, they begin to put up new types, such as Fairy and Plant, the latest being Psychic and if I am no mistaken Tuner, Synchro, XYZ and Pendulum monsters” Second Chance states, meanwhile, the little alicorn filly was looking at the speaking pony, with eyes full of wonder, coughing to make the purple pony stop and look at him, Second Chance continues, “anyhow Twilight, I need to ask something from you?”
“From me, what do you possibly need from me, Second Chance?” she asked, a little pink hue in her cheeks and tilting her head to one side.
“Can you teach me magic?” the alicorn stated, only to see a shocked expression settle on the mare's face.
“Are you telling me that you don’t know magic?” the lavender librarian blurted out, shocked by the revelation, “but you have done telekinesis in front of us several times”, at that one, the stallion across the table shrugged his shoulders.
“Zecora kind of explain to me how it works, so that is the basic thing I take it” he speak without seeing the horror face that Twilight was making.
“So, you are telling me, that you NEVER ever had practiced magic, and all of the sudden when you can do it, you didn’t ask any of us unicorns about the consequences of missusing magic?” she asked, her right eye twitching, in the meanwhile, Spike, trying to get the attention of the stallion, was crossing her arms and shaking his head ferociously, and Nyx was looking a little terrified at the scene playing in front of her, before bolting to the nearest exit, followed by the baby dragon, then Spike gets from somewhere a pair of helmets and passing one to the alicorn filly, he only could say, “Well, it was a pleasure to meeting you.
”“Huh” a terrified black filly articulates, her eyes the size of pinprick’s
Meanwhile, the two adult ponies in the kitchen still were talking
“Uhh, no?” Second Chance says, only for seeing a rageshift in front of his own eyes, he also heard Spike saying something by the lines of "Well, he said it” and then, his world was white.
Outside the library, a stylish white mare, with a curl deep violet mane was going to knock when suddenly a loud frustrated groan came from inside, then she feel a loud banging noise and a little tremor that told her that she doesn’t have to cross the threshold of the tree house today, sighing she left again, wondering when she could ask the new stallion in town about the fashion from his world.
“Well, maybe I’ll ask him the next time I come here” Rarity mused out loud.
“Ask who what” a bubbling voice came from behind the alabaster mare, suppressing a very unladylike squeak, she turned around, only to find Pinkie Pie smiling at her.
“Pinkie, don’t do that” she began, “now my coiffure is ruined,” the white mare began to wail, only for finding her pink friend pulling out an invitation for her and going to the library
“Wait darling don’t do that!”
When both mares enter the library they found an irate Twilight Sparkle holding a terrified Second Chance in her telekinetic grip and Spike hiding in the couch, Nyx had fled to the second floor, so they didn’t notice the mini Nightmare Moon in the tree house for now.
“What are you doing?” Pinkie exclaims, and Twilight loses her concentration, dropping the floating stallion to the floor.
“What do we learn, Second Chance?” The purple pony says, a manic grin on her face.
“Never, EVER, do magic without knowing the basic, and if you don’t, ask somepony who can guide you and help you, the magic is a useful tool, but it needs practice and studying before doing anything practical, because you can hurt yourself or somepony else” the white stallion answers in a monotone, “however, hi Pinkie, hi Rarity, how can we help you girls this afternoon?”
“This is for you, it is your “Welcome to Ponyville” party invitation” the baker answer, hopping near to him and putting the invitation near his head, “well, I need to make two parties in a row, but that one could wait, it is for somepony we don’t know yet” and then, Pinkie exited the library, going to her home, Twilight and Chance trade a worried look, but fortunately for them, before they need to explain anything, a loud belch and a green flame on the sofa get the attention of all the current occupants of the library to the couch.
“Twi, letter from the Princess.”
“Thanks Spike, could you read it please?”
“Sure”
To my faithful student Twilight Sparkle
This letter is to ask Second Chance to do a demonstration duel against myself to check the “Duel Monsters” game and assure that it is harmless to our citizens, and maybe to implement it more in our day to day lives, also, with this letter, I send to him a little stipend to build any facilities or to get resources to pursuit this endeavor, for the event, he can choose the hour and the place for it, if you could pass the word to him it would be wonderful, and also I think it will be greatly instructional and fun for us.
PD. Second Chance, don’t worry yourself about my deck, because I have one.

H.R.H Princess Celestia Solaris Ordea.
