Explanations and world context

Ok so basically this chapter will be a little explanation on the world and also on the context of this story, hopefully I make myself clear enough

First: the reality of our protagonist (Michael or Strong Shield) is virtually the same line of the original series to Arc-V, with the difference that the cards and decks do not have the same restrictions as in the real world, also the technology in our world is the same as in the series, also duels and duel monsters are part of a global culture.

Second, at first Michael will have a clear advantage over the other duelists in Equestria, this is because that in itself, Equestria is located more or less at the beginning of the development of the XYZ monsters in the game, so the more advanced cards than Equestrian duelist will have at first in terms of the game will be XYZ and Synchro monsters.

Michael was a professional player and director of a small company that was engaged in printing, distribution, and teaching yugioh called Dream Inc., this is why he has a great knowledge of the game mechanics, he was also responsible for the development  of Duel Runners for the company, so also we will see how our hero introducing this type of Duel in the lands of the ponies. Michael also has 8 decks so far (the same decks that I actually have and use) also all future decks that our protagonist will have would be analyzed and constructed by me first before I put them in the story, so far I have constructed more or less thirty decks for this story, also all of them usually are original recipees.

Twilight and company for their part are all professional duelists out of their jobs (princess is a job, believe it or not XD) and much of the development of duel monsters in Equestria is the product of the combination of magic and ecofriendly technology, however, while on Earth the development of solid vision can only be seen as a further step in the game, the solid vision in Equestria can give a kind of sentience to the cards but the duelist has to have the will and the mental strength to keep invocations while dueling.

Third, there will be some relation of our protagonist with M6 or other characters throughout history? perhaps, as many here know, I am a novice writer, besides English is not my native tongue, and so far no relationship between the protagonist and the M6 or the other (this may be subject to change obviously) also, most likely I would like to work together with some other writers to develop the story, technically speaking this is a displaced story, except how our hero enters equestria also if some other reader want to put a character or make a cameo in this story, you can, as long you guys send me a  private message and a special chapter will be posted as collaborative work.

Fourth, where I'm going with the story. This is one of the most critical points and which many writers often do not think at first. I'm writing this story for fun, for now I have thought about 40 chapters, may be more, also I am looking for a person who is willing to be an editor to help me not screw this a lot.

Prologue

Bogotá City, 8:47 P.M near the Simon Bolivar Park

The rain fell steadily, heavy drops spilling over the concrete, the dark of the night interrupted by the constant flashing lights of emergency vehicles and the remains of a motorcycle with a few cards and a deck scattered over the pavement, on the ground, facing the sky without actually seeing a figure was lying there, shredded clothes and a backpack not far from the accident, however, this is the beginning of our history, our hero, he was destined to end its cycle in this world.

Canterlot, Equestria 8:48 P.M

In a parallel universe, the night is clear, the moon and the stars cast their soft light over the houses, however, a sudden burst of sound and color interrupted the serene darkness, a couple of hooded figures trying to flee a second group, their armor reflecting the pale light with every movement.

"Why we had to steal that house, Lucky, we are not common thieves, we now have the whole night watch on our heels" one of the figures, obviously female, was saying, complaining, while running and jumping, dodging several arrows that their pursuers were shooting in their direction.

"Because we now have one of the most powerful cards in the game, Wicka, and more than deny it, right now we are thieves, besides, the old coot will not miss his super-rare card, and we will give it better use." the other hooded figure, a black stallion, was answering, his voice clear in the howling wind and the hiss of arrows over their heads.

"I call upon the noble knight, Borz!," one of the guards shouted, his voice showing the authority that he had on the squad of warriors, the two thieves stopping suddenly when a figure dressed in metal, with a chalice in his hands, suddenly appeared in front of them.

"So, this is how we will solve this gentlemans, with a duel?"

"You two are arrested on behalf of her serenity, Princess Celestia, the charges are burglary and entering private property," the soldier who had a duel disk on his left arm said, "however, as apparently one of you is a duelist, if he wins this duel, could leave without being arrested. "

"And what guarantees, metal man, that you keep your word?" the women said, taking off his coat and revealing a pegasus with a bandaged wing.

"I can guarantee this," a third voice interrupted, however, both sides were stunned, seeing a alicorn appear, its coat of a dark blue, and his ethereal mane waving in the wind.

"Princess Luna" the thief said, however, before it can continue, a distant and strange light projected over the dreaded Everfree forest near Ponyville, claims the attention of the princess and her guards, taking the opportunity, the criminals jumped at ground level, disappearing into the night, however the princess and the guards did not pay more attention to the retreating rogues, distracted by the strange phenomenon.

“By Faust, what was that!” bellowed the night princess, looking away, concern plastered on her face

Everfree forest, 11:25 P.M.

Twilight Sparkle, Princess of friendship, a former disciple of Princess Celestia, and current element of magic, was not in a good mood, after being awakened by an urgent letter from her former mentor, the young librarian had to go look for her friends, and armed with flashlights and their respective decks, venture into the wild forest, searching for the source of a flash of light which was seen up to Mount Canter, in which the city of Canterlot, the capital of Equestria and seat of power of the diarchic sisters, Celestia and Luna, was located.

"Egghead, Remind me once again why we have to be out here, exposing ourselves to danger only to seek a" light in the sky," one of the friends of Twilight, Rainbow Dash said, suppressing a yawn for having been awakened at this strange hour, "also, why Rarity, Fluttershy and Applejack are not with us, hmm?" the athlete continued his monologue, making a upset face and a pout.

"Rainbow, as I said, the letter Celestia sent me arrived a few moments ago, I know it's a strange time, girls, but Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy have jobs and occupations in the morning, besides, it was not you who told us bragging that you had nothing to do since there was no patrol weather tomorrow? " The purple mare replied, raising an eyebrow at the now sheepish look on the face of the athlete.

any further discussion was interrupted by a gasp of surprise from the other member of the tour, the always cheerful Pinkie Pie.

"Girls, Girls!" the party animal exclaimed, pointing forward, "Look, there is someone on the ground" when approaching, the three friends could see a stallion lying on the ground, however, any other comment was interrupted when they saw the state he was in, his clothes torn, bloodied and a huge motorcycle apparently destroyed against a tree, but the most strange thing on the scene were the cards scattered on the site, many of which had apparently combined the typical orange and green colors of the duel monster’s franchise, Rainbow and Pinkie approached the unconscious stallion, and lifting him with extreme care, also picking up and dragging his motorcycle, they began to trek back to Ponyville, while Twilight examined one of the cards with the poor light the lantern gave her.

"Odd-eyes Pendulum Dragon" the girl whispered, "I’m not familiarized with this card, moreover, I had never seen this kind of monster in the game." the purple librarian said, amazed with the weird card on her hands. after a moment, she tried to get all the cards that were scattered in the tiny glade, and making sure that she didn’t forgot anything, she ran after her friends, but she was thinking about the strange cards that she now had in her hands, a foreboding feeling running through her mind.

Was this stranger related with the light, what in the world are this strange cards, and what about the motorcycle? a miriad other questions plagued the ex-librarian’s head while she was running to catch her friends.

but this, my friends, is an story for another occasion.

FEATURED CARD

Duel 01: Introduction in a new world

Ponyville General Hospital, Two days later

The Morning Breeze coming through the window of the hospital of Ponyville , for a couple of days , the stranger stallion Princess Twilight Sparkle and the Elements of Harmony Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie had brought to the hospital was on observation, however, the poor soul had not yet regained consciousness, the other girls , as told by the princess of friendship, were standing guard at the hospital, hoping that the unknown stallion would wake up.

"Ugh , I'm bored " Rainbow Dash said , tucking the feathers of his wings in place , as had been unable to preen in the morning as it should because the stranger had priority over anything else , as Twilight had said, also she said that the cards and deck of the unknown stallion found in the Everfree forest were valid, but none of the experts she consulted could give her a satisfactory answer about the cards except that the cards give a weird energy signal. Rainbow wanted to play against the strange , those strange cards promise a very interesting fight, and the reckless athlete was bored of winning almost all the duels that other duelists in Ponyville had to offer her.

"Hopefully he wakes up today," murmured the athlete, "everyone knows that hospitals give me the chills, moreover, I know these cards are powerful," she continued talking alone, putting her hand on the deck of the stranger in the bed across the room.

"Hello dashie!" a cheerful voice interrupted the thoughts of the athlete, while giving her a little scare .

"By Celestia , Pinkie , do not do that! " the athlete said, putting a hand on her chest , trying to calm her galloping heart , "I still remember the incident with Mr. Eisenflower, "she said angrily without thinking, narrowing her eyes, while her free hand was pointing at the party girl; Suddenly, Rainbow Dash realized she had made a mistake by making that comment, because the Ponyville Party Animal suddenly began to sob loudly, her blue eyes full of tears and her mane fully deflated.

" I did not want to give Mr. Eisenflower a heart attack, Dash, just wanted to give him a gift for his birthday. " Pinkie said between sobs , "besides, he forgave me for that little accident. " the girl continued, he tears rolling down her cheeks, unbeknown to her, dash rolled her eyes, muttering something by the lines of “yeah, little.”

"Damn , sorry Pinkie , you know I'm no good to keep my mouth shut ," Dash said, smiling apologetically , " Anyway ... " any other comment was lost when both ponies heard a grunt of pain coming from the bed back of the room .

The mysterious stranger had finally awakened.

??? First Person PoV

I woke up on a hard bed, the thin sheets and the smell of disinfectant telling me I was in a hospital, my head was spinning as I tried to focus my eyes on objects or people around me, after a couple of minutes , the first thing in which I could focus was the hand in front of my face, my skin now had a whitish tone, and when I touched my hand with the other, I could feel a thin coat, also I noticed the fur being thicker on my forearms , and if I had to guess, this coat was all over my body, the second thing I could register was the smell , granted, the smells of the hospital were predominant , but my nose right now I was really sensitive, but when I finally focused my eyesight, I noticed that now my face was a little more elongated , almost like the snout of an animal, if I had to guess , I'd say a horse.

"Hello Mr. unknown, " a voice said directly to my right, startling me and making me turn my head toward its source, noticing for the first time the other occupants of the room , a couple of strange girls also with features similar to mine, the first one was supported against the wall, her dark clothes emphasizing her blue coat and her hair (mane?) was of all colors of the rainbow , she was wearing pretty loose cargo pants, a belt and a tank top, she also had a vest and a bulky device on her left arm, and her wings they were fluttering nervously…

Wait a second… wings?

Ok what the hell ?, or is this a hallucination or seriously somehow I ended or high, or dead, at that moment I began to panic .

"Hey , Mr. unknown, are you okay ?" Twisting my head toward the direction of the voice, my eyes focused on the other girl, her pink coat obscured by the darker pink of her mane, she was dressed in jeans and a yellow shirt with a patterned balloons  upfront, the same device of the other girl, but this time on the right arm.

"Uh ..." I said , 'God!, good start, moron', I told myself mentally , " this is going to sound strange, ladies, but where I am ?, and who are you? "

"We are the girls who rescued you from the forest" the blue girl began to explain, standing up, dragging a chair and sitting near my bed, with a slightly bored voice , as if I had to explain to a small child, " And my name is Rainbow Dash, and her, " she continued, pointing his thumb toward the other girl behind her, "she is Pinkie Pie."

At that moment , my brain decided in a rather subtle way to remember a certain program for young children that was causing furor in my country , in addition to a fairly large community spread throughout the world, wincing in pain, head on mi hands, I weakly nodded, before the information settled in.

"Wait just a sec" I said, raising my hand, palm out, " by any chance, you have some friends called Rarity , Applejack , Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle ? I asked, tilting my head slightly to one side.

A moment of silence accompanied my question , suddenly , Pinkie was on top of me, with a look of wonder and eyes open wide.

"Oh my gosh," she exclaimed, " you know us, how is that possible, if we do not know you , indeed, I was going to ask if you like parties and mhfmhmmhf " anything she was going to tell me was lost, because Rainbow 's hand covering the mouth of the girl with pink fur.

"Ok, Mr.unknown," she began , with a chilling voice , staring at me , "no more games, who you are, or even better," she continued, smiling in a sinister way," I want to know how much you actually know about us, but before nothing..." she continued , raising her hand, fearing the worst, I closed my eyes, bracing myself for some blow or worse.

"Let's have a duel! "
