Duel 1: Kids These Days

Toni had a very lively house in the far eastern end of Ponyville, that is, though nopony knew him. A human, waking up in a pony dominant world, without anyone even seeing him, made a house about two stories tall. It wasn't something that was easily hidden, nopony could find it because, this area was unexplored.

Toni had thought about making friends amongst the ponies and having friendly duel tournaments, but he had one problem. His unknown syndrome made it hard for him to talk to strangers, well at least he wasn't good at striking up conversations nor continuing them. All he had was a deck and duel disk he had found in a junkyard. The cards weren't good, hardly useful in anyway, but use them correctly, and you could have the best deck in all of Equestria. Something Toni specialized in was something called "Tuning Monsters". These monsters are what you use to summon "Synchro" monsters. Toni, living on the streets back on Earth, was very skilled in taking things without being caught, spotted, or investigated. He had managed to get the right "Synchro" monsters he needed.

Every now and then, he loved to watch young duelists fight in one-on-one duels for things like chores, homework, and other stupid things. He would watch from on top the school, behind the school, in trees, and even under or behind tables. He was never spotted... until today.

"Hey! Watch it!" Shouted a female youngster from below. Here comes another duel.

"You watch it! I didn't do anything!" Shouted another female voice.

"You just pushed me!" She screamed at her opponent.

"Please blank flank, I think you need to get you eyes fixed. That is unless..."

Here it comes.

"...you wanna duel."

Toni peeked slightly over the top of the school house building at the sight of an orange pegasus and a pink earth pony staring each other down from a distance away. Almost as soon as she said so, the earth pony pulled out her duel disk. The orange pegasus grunted, but continued her stare.

"Well, are you too scared?"

"Hah, no way! I'd duel anypony, any day." The pegasus said, picking up her duel disk and aiming it at the pink pony. It's panels extended and it glowed different various colors, as did her opponent.

"DUEL!"

Toni smirked as a group of ponies surrounded the duel area and prepared for a great duel.

First turn: ???: 4000 LP ???: 4000 LP

The pegasus went first, "My draw!"

She eyed the cards she held in her hand and smirked.

"I summon, Genex Controller in attack mode!" She said before placing a card on the disk. A blue circle appeared next to her as a monster popped out. The monster had 1400 ATK points. She pulled another card out of her hand. "I set an old favourite and end my turn."

Second turn : ???: 4000 LP ???: 4000 LP

"My draw!" Said the pink pony and made a smirk expression. "And I think I'll use it wisely, come forth Diamond Ore!" Just then, a blue circle appeared next to her and a monster popped out. The monster had 1900 ATK points.

"But that's a level 5 monster!" The orange pegasus said.

"Its ability allows me to summon it when you have a monster and I don't." The pink pony stated. "Next, I summon Bronze Ore in attack mode." The same circle allowed a weak looking monster to appear. The monster had 0 ATK points. "Next I activate Bronze Ore's ability, once per turn, I can change its level to 3." And so it did, the monster's level increased from 1 to 3. "Hah, prepare yourself blank flank, because I tune my level 5 Diamond Ore, with my level 3 Bronze ore, in order to synchro summon... Platinum Ore!" A big blue circle allowed a much bigger monster to appear. The monster had 3000 ATK points. "Now attack that robot!" The monster lunged in to attack Genex controller.

"He doesn't like to be called that!" The pegasus said as she touched her trap card. "I play Mirror Force! Now that rock can go back underground!"

"His effect now activates, once per turn, by skipping my battle phase, I can negate any card and destroy it." The pegasus grunted as her precious trap card was shattered. "And that ends my turn."

Third turn: ???: 4000 LP ???: 4000 LP
"Finally, I draw!" The pegasus drew her card. "And I summon Genex Turbine." The monster had 1400 ATK points. "Now, I think it's time you put your money were your mouth is, because now my 'robots' require a little advancement. I'll tune my level 4 Genex Turbine with my level 3 Genex Controller! I synchro summon... Power Tool Dragon!" A blast of light disappeared, revealing a sharp looking dragon with various power tools on it. The monster had 2300 ATK points.

"That puny little thing doesn't even compare to my-"

"Shut up and listen! Once per turn, I can grab myself a little extra thanks to my dragon. Now, not to make you cry but, I equip Axe of Despair to my dragon!" And axe appeared in replacement of its screwdriver, increasing its ATK to 3300. "But I have another trick up my sleeve. I equip Metal Arrow to my dragon, not only does he get 400 more ATK points, but when he destroys a monster, he can attack a second time!"

"No way!" The pink pony shouted in fear of losing.

"This outta teach you, Power Tool Dragon, attack Platinum Ore!"

The dragon obeyed, smashing the Platinum Ore with its giant axe, obliterating it. It then focused on the shivering pink pony who now had 3300 LP left.

"And now for you, attack her directly!" The pegasus yelled in triumph.

"Noooooooo!" Shouted the pink pony as her LP reached 0. The duel was over, the winner was the pegasus.

Toni was disappointed in how the two didn't use synchro monsters correctly. The pegasus used it for power, and the pink pony used it for fear, and well, to show off.

"Ok, now to leave without being spotted." Toni whispered to himself. He expertly crawled across the roof and over to the edge of it. He carefully made his way down to the backside of the building. All he had to do was walk straight, avoid any passerbys, and he'd be fine. But a sudden voice came from behind him.

"What the buck?" Said a familiar voice. Toni slowly turned around to find the pegasus from before, except she had company.

Along side her was a white unicorn, and a yellow pony like the pink one, except she had a bow. Toni gulped...

...he had been caught.

I had to cut this short because of a bad battery and no charger. See you guys next time.

Duel 2: The Proper Way (Part 1)

Toni was speechless, he didn't know what they would think of him. They could think he's a monster, an invader, someone trying to attack their school. Toni cheeks were flushed red.

"Uh... hi!" The unicorn pouted in a rather squeaky voice. Toni hesitated even moving.

"Uh... hi." He said a nervous wreck. He didn't know what to do. Does he take off? Does he hide? What to do? What to do!?

"Hey, you're a duelist!" The pegasus said watching my duel disk with a gleam in her eye.

"Uh... yeah. I always come down here and watch duels just to see them." Toni said less nervous that they didn't think of him as a monster.

"Oh oh oh! Did you see me win!?" The pegasus said leaning in slightly. Toni felt uneasy.

"Yeah, and I now that I can tell you, you aren't using your dragon the right way." Toni said as if to make a point.

"What?" Her spunk calmed down.

"Well, you don't just use them for power. You do if you need to, but not at the very start." Toni said.

She just smirked. "Alright," She lifted her duel disk. "Care to show me?"

Toni blinked twice. He hadn't had any real duels with ponies before, but it could be-

"Hey, no fair!" Said the yellow pony. "Ya just dueled Diamond Tiara!" She had a light but strong southern accent.

"Hey, what about me!" The unicorn asked. "I haven't dueled anypony in a week.

While the three argued over who should duel me, Toni sighed. Then, he got an idea.

"Wait a minute girls!"

They didn't stop.

"Girls."

Still, they didn't stop.

"GIRLS!"

They stood speechless, waiting to hear Toni talk.

"I have an idea. Since you all want to duel, why not make it one-on-three?"

The three silently thought about that recommendation. They then went into a group chat. Whispering back and forward, and even stopping to take a peek at what Toni was doing. Then they all shouted, "CUTIE MARK CRUSADER DUEL MASTERS, YAY!"

The sound rung through Toni's ears as all he heard was ringing. He was brought back to his senses when the sound of an activation was heard, followed by two more. He looked up to find all three ready to duel. They were up for the challenge. Toni flipped a switch on his disk, watching as the panels on both sides collided and made 5 card slots. He looked up from his disk to spy the three young ponies looking through their cards in hand.

"You girls ready?"

"As ever!"

"DUEL!"

Turn one: Toni: 4000 LP ???: 12000 LP

"Since I'm handicapped here, I'll make the first move. I draw!" Toni said as a card perfectly slid from his deck to his hand. He eyed the card he drew slowly. "I summon Shield Wing in defence mode!" Toni said before placing a card side ways on the disk. A blue circle appeared next to him allowing a monster to slide right through. It quickly turned blue and made a motion to protect itself, putting its wings in front of it. The monster had 900 DEF points. "I set two cards face down and end my turn."

Turn 2: Toni: 4000 LP ???: 12000 LP

"Ah'll take the next move! Draw!" She slid the card from the top of her deck, she looked at it and smirked. "Ah summon Twin-sword Marauder in attack mode!" She said before placing a monster down on her disk. A blue circle allowed a monster with three swords on each claw to pass through. "Since Ah can't attack, Ah'll end there." She said before passing the torch to the pegasus.

Turn 3: Toni: 4000 LP ???: 12000 LP

"Then, it's my turn! Draw!" She shouted before pulling her next card. "I summon Genex Controller in attack mode!" She said, again a monster appeared the the circle. The monster had 1400 ATK points. "I'll show you how to use synchro monsters. I tune level 3 Genex Controller with Apple Bloom's Twin-sword Marauder!" She said raising her hoof. Above her a blast of light appeared. "I synchro summon Power Tool Dragon!" She said before the sane Dragon from before appeared out of the blast. The monster had 2300 ATK points.

"Woohoo! Go Scootaloo!" The unicorn said.

"I will now activate his effect, once per turn, I can get a little bonus card." She slid a card out from the middle of her deck. "Now I play, Big Bang Shot!" She said before the dragon got a sharp stone instead of a screwdriver. "Now, when he attacks your defence monster, you take the difference between his now 2700 ATK points and your 900 DEF points. Now go my dragon! Attack!" The Dragon lunged in to attack Toni's Shield Wing.

"Now let me stop you there. I play a trap, Dust Tornado! This card allows me to destroy a spell or trap card on the field. I pick Big Bang Shot." He watched as a giant tornado ran past and destroyed the spell card on the field.

"No! But when Big Bang Shot is destroyed then..."

"That's right! Your dragon is removed from play!" Toni shouted with a smirk of his own. "The dragon's card disappeared into nothingness as Scootaloo cringed at such a big turn around. "I set one card face down and end my turn." She said angry.

Turn 4: Toni: 4000 LP Apple Bloom/Scootaloo/???: 12000 LP

"So, ya pretty much just threw mah card away." Apple Bloom said annoyed.

"Sorry!" Scootaloo said in response.

"My turn. I draw!" She slid a card out from the top of her deck and placed it in her hand. "And I summon Sunlight Unicorn in attack mode." A blue circle allowed a white unicorn with a light blue fire mane to pass through. The monster had 1800 ATK points. "Next I'll attack your Shield Wing! Go Sunlight Unicorn!" The unicorn gave a mighty neigh and charged right at Shield Wing. It rammed its horn right into Shield Wing, but nothing happened. "What?!" The unicorn shouted.

"Up to twice per battle phase, my Shield Wing can't be destroyed in battle." Toni said with a smirk.

"I set one card face down and end my turn."

Turn 5: Toni: 4000 LP Apple Bloom/Scootaloo/???: 12000 LP

"My turn!" Toni slid the card off the top with ease. Just what I wanted. He thought. "I play Double Summon. Now I can summon twice this turn. First, I summon Gyroid, and then Nitro Synchron!" Two monsters appeared through a blue circle. Gyroid had 1000 DEF points, and Nitro Synchron had 300 ATK points. "Now I'll show you how it's done! I tune my level 3 Gyroid and my level 2 Shield Wing, with my level 2 Nitro Synchron!"

To be continued...
