The Man With Eye's of Blue Appears
It was a fine day in Equestria, the sun shining high and everyone was having a good time. In a small village named Ponyville, the residents where enjoying themselves on one of the best day's ever. This day, was a time for celebration of there new princess Twilight Sparkle. However, there was only one thing missing from the celebration. The new princess herself was off somewhere on an exploration mission of a new section of land found by some of the Royal Guards of Celestia's Castle.
Upon hearing this, Twilight Sparkle jumped at the opportunity to explore this new land for Celestia. Celestia was hesitant to agree to this because of Twilight's new Royal responsibilities. But, with some help with her friends, Twilight was able to convince Celestia to let her explore. So, with Twilight's friends taking her place by taking care of some the new responsibilities she had,Twilight set out to the new desert area to see what she could find.
Currently however, she had no luck finding anything, Despite hours of searching, she had found nothing so far. Because of this, she was starting to get extremely annoyed. The heat wasn't helping ether, even with a sun hat on.
"Raah! Come on! I've been here for hours! There's nothing here but sand and heat!" Twilight yelled out, wiping the sweat off her brow, looking back at her map. She started walking again, making her way across the sand. She stopped for a moment, sighing and taking out a canteen of water, taking a drink. But as she started to drink, something shined in her eye. She stopped drinking from her canteen and covered her eye's for a moment, trying to see what it was.
Upon closer inspection, there appeared to be some golden orb on the ground by her. She looked at it for a few moments before kneeling down to try and pick it up, but much to her surprise, it was stuck in the ground. She frowned slightly and grabbed it with both of her hands, pulling at it hard. An unlocking sound was heard and she almost knocked herself back, but she pulled out the orb that was somehow attached to the ground. with a smile, she looked at the orb, but was surprised to see that it was some kind of Rod and not an orb like she expected. It was made of gold and looked like it had an eye on the front of it.
But before she could question what it was, the ground started to shake beneath her. she yelped at the ground started to open up in front of her, causing her to back up. The sand started to shake away, revealing that a door was opening in front of her, a set of stairs leading deep down into the hole. The ground soon stopped shaking and she stared into the path in front of her. She stared at the set of stairs and then the rod in her hand before a smile formed on her face.
"Finally! This was just what I needed." she said as she walked down the set of stairs. The deeper she went down the stairs, the darker the area got until the point she couldn't see. However, once it got to this point, the rod started to glow, giving her light. She eventually reached flat ground as she held the rod up, looking around. The area looked to be ancient and had hieroglyphics on the walls. She walked up to a wall and looked at the hieroglyphics.
"I haven't seen anything like this for a while..." She said as she tried to read them, slowly walking along the wall. It took her a bit, but she was able to understand what they said after a while.
"A long time ago, there was a war between gods. After this war, the Millennium Items where created for the reason of keeping peace. When three of the items are gathered together, they can be used to summon the possessors of the said items." She finished as she reached the end of the room. She looked around once more to see a pedestal with what looked like to have two items resting on it. One being an upside down Golden Pyramid with a chain attached to the top and what looks like a Golden Ring with small golden triangle attachments around it and another golden flat pyramid in the center of it, this one also having an eye in the center of it.
She slowly walked up to the items, feeling a bit nervous, stopping when she was in front of them. She stared at them for a few moments before looking at the rod in her hand. An idea started to form in her head as she set the rod in the middle of the other two items. Nothing happened, leaving her a bit disappointed. But when she reached to pick the rod back up, the items started to glow, causing her to back up in surprise.
They continued to grow brighter and brighter until she had to cover her eye's so she wouldn't go blind. The light continued to grow until it could even be seen from the start of the stairs before. They continued to glow until everything had gone white.
Elsewhere, a human was leaning against a tree. This human was male and had dyed his hair red. The strangest thing about this man was that he had blue eyes. In combination with his red hair, he was hard to miss most times. He had also worn something that was similar to what a man named Kaiba would ware. For those who don't know who Kaiba is, he is a man from an anime called Yu-Gi-Oh, where the famous Dueling Monsters game came from. If it wasn't for his eye color and hair, he would have looked almost just like Kaiba.
He also had a Custom Duel Disk attached to his arm. He had made it specially designed so it would work almost just like one as well, the only thing it couldn't do was bring up the holograms. He even had his deck in the Dueling Disk as well. With an addition to that, he even had a Millennium Puzzle around his neck, one that he gotten off of EBay that is. It was strange that it looked like it actually was made of gold, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.
This man's name however was Tyler, and he was a bit board, but was also enjoying the sound of the cool breeze in the meadow he was in. He sighed, opening his eyes and looking out into the grassy field in front of him. He did like being alone, but he missed his old friends. He sadly left them behind after he had decided to become a World Tournament Duelist. He did enjoy his new life sometimes, but he still missed all of the friends he made before. Getting off the tree, he had decided to head home.
"All the duels I've won, all the money I've earned... It wasn't nearly as I expected it to be..." Tyler said, slightly slouched over as he walked. To say he looked upset was an understatement. Unfortunately for him, the life of a rich duelist didn't feel right to him, and it was only now that it had caught up with him. He had even started wishing that he had a little brother like Kaiba had.
He was currently heading back to his home, on in other case, his mansion, thinking that it was time to call it a day. But before he could get any further, he felt something against his chest start to grow warm. He paused for a moment, looking down. His eye's widened at what he saw. His Millennium Puzzle was starting to glow, it was also glowing brighter and brighter every second.
"What the!? What the hell is going on here!?" He said as the glow soon started to become blinding. He started to back up and ended up tripping. The glow quickly enveloped Tyler and just as soon as it started, the glowing stopped. But Tyler was no longer there, the Millennium Puzzle gone as well. Everything had then gone silent in the field, and there was nothing but the sound of the cool air gliding across the grassy fields.
Meanwhile, back with Twilight, the glow was finally starting to die down. Twilight however was having a hard time keeping her eye's open from the long exposure to the light. However, she could hear the groans of what sounded like three people. However, it was not long before the sound of one of the new voices started to cackle evilly. The cackling suddenly stopped, as if the person or thing the voice belonged to had found something on interest.
"Well now... What do we have here? The Millennium Puzzle on a silver platter just for me?" The voice said, some shuffling being heard. Twilight finally was able to focus again, looking up in the direction of the voices. There were three men by the pedestal, one had red hair and dressed a bit strange. The other two had white hair, however, one had tanned skin and the other was a pasty white. The tanned man had almost pin prick irises, and looked very annoyed.
"Hold it right there Bakura! The Millennium Puzzle is mine!" the tanned man said. The man named Bakura just scoffed and reached out to grab one of the items on the pedestal, already having the ring item around his neck. Before Bakura could grab it, the other man pushed him away, reaching for the item. The tanned man had the rod item in his hand.
"Back off Marik!" Bakura shouted, grabbing onto the man named Marik. It wasn't long before pushing and shoving quickly escalated to a full on fight between the two, the Millennium Puzzle being thrown around from one person to the other. This kept on happening before a different hand reached out and grabbed the Millennium Puzzle, shocking Both Bakura and Marik. The Millennium Puzzle shined in in this new hand. The owner of this hand was none other then the other man that had appeared, his blue eye's now able to be seen.
"I don't think this belongs to any of you." The man said, his voice cold and his stare icy. He looked at the Millennium Puzzle for a moment, eyes widening. It felt as if it was calling him, prompting him to put it on. In a quick motion, he placed the Millennium Puzzle around his neck as Bakura and Marik gasped, quickly trying to get to the red haired man, but a bright flash stopped them in there tracks. The man's eye's widen for a moment before he was enveloped in a soft glow. Bakura and Marik covered there eye's for a few moments until the glow finally died down. Standing in front of them was the same man, but he looked different. His hair had spiked up more and had a bit of a golden tinge to the tips, his eye color had changed from blue to a purplish blue. His features had also sharpened and if where possible, his stare would have became more icy.
"Leave this place, for you were never welcome!" The Pharaoh said, causing Marik and Bakura to back up, growling. Upon further notice, you can see that both Marik and Bakura had Dueling Disks. They both glanced at each other for a moment before Marik quickly turned around and ran out of the room. Bakura however had a smile on his face.
"So Pharaoh, we meet again! This time out battle will be different. I'll be the one walking away with the Millennium Puzzle ad your God Cards this time!" Bakura said with a laugh, activating his Duel Disk. The Pharaoh narrowed his eye's at Bakura for a moment before activating his own.
"Very well Bakura. I shall Duel you. But if I win, you will keep your Millennium Item and leave this place." The Pharaoh said, Bakura Chuckling to himself. Twilight stared at both of them, eye's wide as she slowly got to her feet.
"This will be your last duel Pharaoh!" Bakura said as their Duel Disks lit up and held them up, drawing out 5 cards out of a card slot in the Duel Disk
"Duel!" Both the Pharaoh and Bakura said, Bakura Taking the first turn of the Duel. With a grin on his face, he took his turn.
"I shall Summon Skull Knight #2 in attack mode!" Bakura said as he put his card on his dueling disk, a monster forming out of thin air in front of him, looking to be a skeleton in armor with a sword in hand.

"I shall then set two cards and end my turn. Your move Pharaoh." Bakura said, two large cards appearing in front of him face down. The Pharaoh then drew a card from his deck slot. His eye's widened in surprise when he looked at his hand, these cards were unlike anything he saw before. But, he would try to use them anyway.
"Very well, I shall activate Trade-In! Sending one level 8 monster from my hand to the grave to draw two cards." The Pharaoh said, a large card appearing on the field, looking to have the picture of two traders talking to one another as a grin formed on Bakura's face.
"Not so fast Pharaoh! I activate Magic Drain to negate your Trade-In!" Bakura said, chuckling a bit as one of his set cards revealed itself, a light blue spirit coming out of it and towards the large face up card that just appeared.
"Very well, then I shall counter it by sending one spell card to my grave!" The Pharaoh said, discarding a card, making the spirit disappear, destroying the face up card on Bakura's field. Bakura growled as the Pharaoh drew two cards.
"I then activate Dragon Shrine! This card allows me to target one dragon monster from my deck and send it to my grave, and better yet, if I send a Blue-Eyes monster, I can send another monster with it." Just as before, a card appeared on the field as the Pharaoh looked threw his deck. He was more confused than surprised at this point, this was nothing like the deck he had used before. How did he even know what the card effects were in the first place? He decided to send Blue-Eyes White Dragon to the grave with The White Stone of Ancients.
"I shall then activate The Melody of Awakening Dragon! By sending Sage With Eyes of Blue to my grave, I can target two level 8 dragon type monsters with 3000 attack and 2500 defense and add them to my hand." Another card appeared in front of him, replacing the other one as he discarded a card. Looking threw his deck once more, he added Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon to his hand.
"Next, by revealing to you one Blue-Eyes White Dragon, I can Special Summon Blue-Eye's Alternative White Dragon to the field!" The Pharaoh said, showing him the said card, and setting a card on the Duel Disk as a white dragon appeared in front of him, roaring upon his arrival, shining in the light.

Bakura's eyes widened as the Dragon appeared on the field. "What!?! You Summoned a 3000 Attack point monster in one turn!?!" Bakura said.
"That's right, and I'm not done yet! Next I activate Soul Charge! This allows me to Special Summon any monster in my grave for one thousand life points each!" The Pharaoh said as he winced slightly after playing the card, a glowing white wall appearing on the field as well what looked like some kind of mage with blue hair, then another White Dragon, roaring upon its arrival like Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon. But his roar sent out shockwaves that launched forward and hitting Bakura's other set card. It was destroyed on Impact, shocking Bakura.

"What!? But how did your dragon do that!?" Bakura said, looking annoyed. The Pharaoh chuckled in response before playing another card.
"I activate Gospel of Revival! Allowing me to summon any Level 7 or higer Dragon Type Normal Monster in my grave." The Pharaoh said, A Blue-Eyes White Dragon appearing on the field, roaring a mighty roar.

"I then Sacrifice my Sage With Eye's of Blue and my White Stone of Ancients to summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" The Pharaoh said, the two said monsters disappearing and another Blue-Eye's White Dragon taking there place.

Lvl: 8 Atk: 3000 Def: 2500
"Now I shall end my turn." The Pharaoh said, Bakura gritting his teeth, angered at the situation he was in. Bakura drew one card, his eye's widening as the realization that he could not do anything had gotten to him, simply setting a monster face down on the field, it appearing as a big sideways face down card in front of him. The Pharaoh grinned as he drew a card before suddenly looking serious.
"Now my monsters! Attack!" With that, all four of the dragons roared as the charged towards Bakura. two of the dragons attacked both of his monsters, destroying them as the last two Blue-Eyes White Dragons charges up large balls of light in there mouth, unleashing a destructive stream of White energy at Bakura, hitting him directly. Bakura yelled out in pain as a beeping sound was heard, all of the monsters disappearing, Bakura falling onto his knees.
"This Duel is over Bakura, now leave this place!" The Pharaoh said as Bakura shakily got to his feet, growling at the Pharaoh before turning around and running away. The Pharaoh breathed a sigh of relief as the Millennium Puzzle started to glow again. The Pharaoh was enveloped in the soft glow once again and when it went away, he looked just the same as he was before. He blinked for a moment, looking around the room before seeing Twilight. To say the least, if it was physically possible, her jaw would have hit the ground.
"Are you alright?" The man said, walking up to Twilight. She shook her head slightly, but still looked amazed and also confused. Questions started to fill her mind as the man approached her. The man stopped when he noticed that she had a horn on her head. In fact, now that he was in front of her, he could also see that she had purple wings as well as purple skin. He never thought that he would see something like this before, at least not out of Yu-Gi-Oh.
The same could be said for Twilight, she had never seen anything like Tyler before, at least not outside of her books. The combination of his red hair, blue eyes, and barely tanned white skin looked very strange to her. His choice of clothing was odd to her as well, it didn't match the color of his hair and was starting to bother her a bit. But the big thing that caught her attention was his height, he looked like he was taller than Celestia! Not only that, because of the tight shirt he had on, she could see his chiseled chest. Granted the other men in Ponyville where bigger then him in body type, but they didn't have any defined muscles.
"Hello? Its a bit rude to ignore someone." The man said, snapping his fingers in front of her eyes, causing her to snap out of her thoughts, a small blush forming on her face.
"W-Wha-?" Twilight said a bit dumbfounded, looking back up at the man. The man looked a bit annoyed before responding to her dumbfounded look.
"I asked for your name, its the least you can do for me." The man said, not looking as annoyed as before, but still a bit annoyed. Twilight stood back up and cleared her throat.
"I am Twilight Sparkle, may I ask what your name is?" Twilight said, a bit weary about man. The man grinned slightly at this question, which worried her a bit.
"My name is Tyler, and its... Nice? Yah, nice to meet you" Tyler said, turning away from her and looking around the room, looking interested. He gently held up his Millennium Puzzle to stare at it for the few moments before assuming that what just happened actually happened. 'Perhaps that really was the Ancient Pharaoh that possessed my body for those moments...'
"Excuse me Tyler, if you don't mind me asking..." Twilight had said, catching Tyler's attention. 'Oh, yah... She's still here...' Tyler thought to himself.
"I was wondering if you could tell me what the heck that was!?" Twilight said, shocking Tyler a bit. He thought everyone knew about Dueling Monsters. This truly was a strange situation Tyler was in.
"Well, if you must know, first tell me where I am. Then I shall tell you about Dueling Monsters." Tyler said, still a bit lost from the situation at hand, yet still keeping his stern expression. Twilight stared at him for a moment before answering.
"Well, you and I are in an uncharted selection of land in the Magical land of Equestria. Currently ruled by the two Princesses, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." Twilight said, Tyler's eyes widening a bit. 'Princesses? This is starting to found familiar...' Tyler thought, starting to piece something together.
"Princesses you say? Princesses of what might I ask?" Tyler said, looking a bit interested. Perhaps Tyler's suspicions could be confirmed with a bit more information.
"Princess Celestia is the Princess of the Sun, she raises it every morning when the night is over. Princess Luna is the Princess of the Moon, she raises the moon when the day is over." Twilight said with a smile on her face, Tyler's eye's widening a bit more. 'Is she serious? Could this place really be the place from that show? No, there's no way that it could be possible...' Tyler thought.
"Now, can you please explain to me the concept of this thing you call Dueling Monsters?" Twilight said, braking Tyler out of his thoughts.
"Oh, yes, of course... Dueling Monsters..." Tyler said, a bit of concern in his voice. He reached into one of his inner jacket pockets, pulling out a wooden box. However, something that caught his eye was that on the top of the wooden box was a golden eye symbol just like the one on the Millennium Puzzle. He looked at Twilight, holding up the box a bit.
"Now, To get you introduced, we are going to have a practice Du-" Tyler said, but getting cut off when the box his his hands started to glow. Twilight and Tyler's eyes widened as Tyler dropped the box, it somehow being able to catch itself in the air. It slowly floated up into the air, the symbol on it glowing brighter then the box, the box slowly opening up. The sound of cards being shuffled could be heard as soon as the box opened up.
Cards came flooding out of the box, moving around the room with a golden tint to them. However, no sooner then they came out, they started to hoover around Twilight, causing her to yelp in surprise. Some of the cards surrounding her changed from there gold tint to a purple tint, those cards gathering together to make a stack of cards. As they formed together, the purple tint from them left the cards and gathered together, surrounding the cards, forming into something in the proses. The tint soon turned into a solid, spreading out and taking the shape of Tyler's Duel Disk and soon looking just like it, but this one colored lavender instead.
The new Dueling Disk, with the new set of cards inside, slowly descended as all the other cards floating in the air slowly moved back into the box, the box closing back up and resting back in Tyler's hand and the new Dueling Disk lowering into Twilight's arms. Twilight stared at it in amazement as Tyler stared at it, a dumbfounded look on his face. He quickly shook his head and walked up to Twilight.
"So, are you ready for a Test Duel?" Tyler said, causing Twilight to jump slightly. There was a small smile on Tyler's face, but upon seeing this, Twilight felt confused. She thought that Tyler was annoyed with being there at the moment, but the smile on his face made it looked like he was enjoying his time there.
"A Test Duel? But I don't know how to Duel..." Twilight said, a some confusion in her voice. Tyler's smile grew a bit larger and surprisingly, he looked happy. Twilight looked away from Tyler a bit, a slight tinge of red forming on her cheeks. Thankfully Tyler didn't notice this and he motioned to the Duel Disk in her arms.
"Go ahead, put it on. I can teach you while we Duel. I've found that the best way to learn how to play Dueling Monsters is by playing it and learning how to play it as you do so." Tyler said with a smile on his face, surprising Twilight with his reasoning. Slowly, she put the Duel Disk around her arm. Upon seeing this, Tyler backed up and activated his Duel Disk, Twilights own Duel Disk activating as well, causing her to yelp as two images appeared above both of them, one above Tyler and one above Twilight. They had appeared to be boxes with a four digit number in both of them, the number being 8000.
"Now, we will be using the new rules, so both of us will have 8000 life points. Now, I will take the first turn to start teaching you. Now, draw five cards out of the Deck Slot of your dueling disk." Tyler said, drawing five cards, Twilight slowly doing the same. Tyler smiled when he saw his hand.
"Now, there are six Phases in Dueling Monsters, The Draw Phase, Standby Phase, Main Phase One and Two, Battle Phase, and The End Phase. During the Draw Phase, your draw one card from your Deck Slot, if you go first however, you cannot draw. Then after the Draw Phase, the Standby Phase begins. The Standby Phase is just a relaxing phase, that is unless you have a card effect that will activate during the Standby Phase. Then you enter Main Phase one, this is where you can play your cards. You have your Normal Monsters, your Effect Monsters, Spell, and Trap cards. Spell cards can be activated on any Phase depending on the condition of your Spell Card, Traps however must be set during ether Main Phase One or Two for they require one turn to be charged. Now, its time for my Main Phase." Tyler said, Twilight looking she was trying to understand what he just said.
Tyler looked at his cards once again before taking one of them and showing it to her "By revealing to you one Blue-Eyes White Dragon, I can Special Summon the Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon." Tyler said, putting the Blue-Eyes back in his hand and putting one other card in his hand on his Duel Disk, a card appearing on the field in front of them, a large white dragon appearing out of the card, unleashing a mighty roar as it rested on the ground, a low growl coming from it.
"Then I shall activate the effect of Sage with Eyes of Blue, by targeting my Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, I can send both cards to the grave to Special Summon a Blue Eyes monster from my deck." Tyler said, sending the said card to the grave, the dragon on the field dissipating into mist, the mist forming into another figure. The mist formed into the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the dragon unleashing a mightily roar just like Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, resting on the ground.

"I will now end my Main Phase and enter my End Phase, Main Phase Two is just like Main Phase One. The Battle Phase is when your monsters can attack, however, if you go first, you cannot attack that turn. The End Phase is just like the Standby Phase. It is now your turn Twilight." Tyler said, ending his turn. Twilight slowly drew one card, looking at her hand nervously before taking a breath in and out.
"I will activate Raigeki, destroying your Blue-Eyes" Twilight said as the aria darkened above Blue-Eyes White Dragon before a large lightning bolt came down, hitting the Blue-Eyes, making it cry out as it burst into shards, Tyler shielding himself from the explosion.
"Then I will activate Allure of Darkness, I will draw two cards, then banish Magician of Dark Illusion so I don't discard my entire hand." Twilight said as she activated her spell, something that looked like a black hole appearing above her as she drew her cards, holding one card up as the hole brought the card into it, soon disappearing. She was impressed with herself that she was able to understand the effects of these cards.
"I will set three cards and then end my turn, its your turn Tyler" Twilight said with a smile, looking like she was enjoying herself. Tyler smiled back at her as he drew one card.
"First I will activate Silver's Cry, letting me Special Summon one Normal Dragon Type monster from my grave!" Tyler said as he activated his spell, a card appearing on the field. A soft roar was heard, slowly growing louder as the card suddenly exploded, Blue-Eyes white dragon flying out of the explosion and resting in front of Tyler.

"Then I will activate Twin Twisters, by discarding one card, I can target two Spell/Trap Cards on the field and destroy them" Tyler said as the room darkened and a sudden strong gust of wind came up, whipping around viciously as Tyler discarded a card. No sooner then he did, the wind grew more fierce, two of Twilights set cards flying up and shattering in the wind, causing Twilight to shield herself from the wind.
"Now, entering my Battle Phase, Attack my Blue-Eyes White Dragon! White Lightning!" Tyler shouted as the Blue-Eyes white Dragon roared, a ball of cackling white energy forming in its mouth as it launched a bright white beam at Twilight. Twilight's eyes widened as she was hit with the beam, holding up her arms to shield herself as she was hit, her life points dropping to 5000.
"I end my turn, your turn again Twilight" Tyler said. Twilight drew one card and looked at her hand, looking a bit nervous, but shaking her head as she set one card in her Spell/Trap Zone before ending her turn. Tyler drew one card, a smile on his face.
"First I will Summon Maiden with Eyes of Blue, then activate the effect of Sage with Eyes of Blue to send it and Maiden with Eyes of Blue to the grave, but not before activating her effect. When she is targeted for an attack or a Spell/Trap card effect, I can change her to defense and Special summon a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand, deck, or grave. Now I will Special Summon my last two Blue-Eyes White Dragons to the field!" Tyler yelled as a woman with silvery long hair appeared on the field with a brown dress on, but she soon evaporated into mist as Tyler discarded a card, the mist growing and splitting before forming into two blue-Eyes White Dragons, both of them resting by the Blue-Eyes in front of Tyler.

"Now my dragons, Triple White Lightning Attack! Attack Twilight Directly!" Tyler yelled as the three dragons roared as a ball of white crackling energy formed in there mouths. Twilight's eye's widened as the three Blue-Eyes unleashed there blasts, the three of them swirling around one another as they combined together to form one giant blast, heading right for Twilight. Twilight held up her arms in an attempt to protect herself from the large white blast, but it didn't do much as she was hit, getting flown back, almost crashing into the wall behind her, falling on her back as her life points dropped to 0, ending the duel. Everything on the field dissipated as the duel ended, both of their Duel Disks deactivating as Tyler walked up to Twilight, extending a hand towards her.
"You alright down there?" Tyler said as Twilight reached out and grabbed ahold of her hand. Tyler pulled her back onto her feet, smiling at her, Twilight looking back at him with a blank look on her face. Tyler stared at her as well before looking confused.
"Will you please come back with me to my hometown? I'm sure that everyone there will love Dueling Monsters just as much as me." Twilight said, a smile growing on her face. Tyler stared at her for a few moments 'Perhaps it would be best so we could possibly find a place to rest.' Tyler thought. He blinked, looking around the room for a moment, a bit confused. 'Wait, what was that?' Tyler thought, slowly looking back at Twilight.
"You know what Twilight, that sounds like a wonderful idea" Tyler said with a smile on his face, Twilight smiling back at him. However, her smile faltered a bit when she stared at him for a bit longer. It was noticeable that his bangs had risen a bit so shadows didn't cover his eye's and he looked to be in a much brighter mood then before. His blue eye's shined with calmness and compassion, yet there was also a deep yet small fire burning deep within them.
"Can you let go of my hand now?" Tyler said, snapping Twilight out of her thoughts. Her eye's widened when she realized she was still holding his hand after all this time. She instantly let go of his hand, a blush forming on her cheeks. Tyler tilted his head a bit before turning around and moving towards the exit.
"Come on, I think its starting to get late, so lets hurry shall we?" Tyler said, walking up the steps, leaving an embarrassed and confused Twilight behind. Twilight quickly followed behind him, not wanting to be left behind. 'Its so strange... He knew everything he was doing, yet he's so clueless...' Twilight thought, trailing behind Tyler.
Bakura painted as he ran across the desert, tired from running. Soon he had to stop to rest, practically collapsing onto the ground. 'Damn that Pharaoh, that was nothing like what he used before! Where did he even get such a deck!' Bakura thought as he rested against the sand. The sun was slowly descending upon the sand lands, steadily making it colder in the land. Bakura slowly got back to his feet before noticing someone hiding behind a sand dune. It was Marik, and he looked like he was watching something. Bakura made his way next to Marik, surprising him for a moment before he went back to watching to what he was looking at.
Both of them were now looking at what looked like something meant for transport, straps being attached to the shoulders of two men equipped with armour with a symbol of a sun on the chest plate. They looked like they were sweating a river, but as the sun lowered, they looked to get better. Before either one of them could say something, Tyler and Twilight could be seen approaching the carriage. They looked like they were having a good conversation. What shocked them the most was the fact that Twilight had a Duel Disk and cards to go with it. The thought of this angered Marik and he raised up to march over to both of them, but Bakura stopped him.
"Hold it right there Marik, the Pharaoh is far to powerful to beat now. Its best you wait and think about your next move." Bakura whispered to Marik as he slowly returned to his position behind the sand dune. Soon Twilight and Tyler arrived to the carriage, Twilight explaining to the armored men about what happened so they would allow Tyler into the carriage, but not before getting strange looks from both of them. It took one irritated glance from Twilight to get the men to look away from Tyler. Marik's eyes suddenly widened while he was staring at Tyler.
"Bakura! Look at the Pharaoh's partner, what happened to him?" Marik said, shocking Bakura for a few seconds as he finally realized why the Pharaoh had such a different deck.
"Your right, that's not that little brat Yugi! But who is he, I've never seen him before." Bakura said, staring at Tyler as he talked with Twilight.
"Why are you asking me, I don't know who he is ether! We must quickly follow them or we will never find out." Marik said as he started to get up, but Bakura grabbed ahold of him again.
"What do you mean we?" Bakura said as Marik stopped, looking at Bakura. Marik chuckled as he stood up, staring down at Bakura, who looked slightly confused.
"What do you think I mean by we? I say until we figure out what the hell happened and why we are here, we team up to go against this thing. Because the say I see it, we both now have a common enemy." Marik said with a smirk. Bakura soon developed the same smirk as Marik helped him up.
"So Partner, what's your plan?" Bakura asked Marik, earning a bigger smirk from Marik. He motioned Bakura to follow him as he made his way to the carriage, Bakura soon following behind as Twilight and Tyler just entered it. Marik quickly got underneath the carriage, Bakura following his lead as they could now hear Twilight and Tyler talking.
"I don't really know what happened back there Twilight. But my best theory was that because of the symbol on the box, it must have figured out what was the best deck for you and just gave it to you. That's really the only thing I can think of that happened." Tyler said, Twilight having a parchment and quill in her hands, writing down some of the things he said.
"Ok, now do you think you can tell me about your interesting choice of hair and eye color?" Twilight said, looking back up at Tyler. Tyler froze for a moment before looking at Twilight.
"My hair and eye color? What about them?" Tyler asked, feeling a bit confused. Twilight looked at Tyler like he was crazy.
"You have Blue Eyes and Red Hair, how do you live with something like that? Its so- So..." Twilight said, looking like she was trying to find the right word.
"Unnatural? Yah, I've been told that a lot you know. But I accept it." Tyler said, causing Twilight to go silent.
"Why...?" Twilight asked, causing Tyler to go silent. Twilight slowly set her parchment and quill down, looking concerned. Tyler breathed in and out, readying to tell her the answer.
"You see Twilight, I didn't always have Blue Eyes. I used to have beautiful Emerald Eyes that shone like the gem itself. I also had Brown Hair back then, it was quite nice. But then... I learned about Duel Monsters..." Tyler said, the two armored men hunching over for a moment, wings sprouting from there backs as they took to the sky with Twilight, Tyler, Marik, and Bakura in tow.
As the sun sets on the sandy lands of where Twilight and Tyler first met and they fly away into the night, the first day of Tyler's stay in Equestria ends as his as his adventure only begins. What could Bakura and Marik be planning? How would Equestria turn out with the new introduction to Dueling monsters? What could be waiting for Tyler when he arrives to the castle with Twilight? Find out next time on Equestrian Ancients: The Man With Eye's of Blue.
Getting to Know Equestria and its Residence
Last time on Equestrian Ancients: The Man With Eyes of Blue. Twilight was just wrapping up her exploration of the new land when she had found an ancient tomb. Upon entering, she had found the Millennium Items that had brought three people with them, Marik, Bakura, and Tyler. Bakura had challenged Tyler to a Duel and the Pharaoh was revealed and Dueled Bakura instead. Bakura was defeated and Tyler had returned once again to his body, a bit confused. Twilight had soon introduced herself to Tyler and had asked about Dueling Monsters. Upon asking that, Tyler took out a box that glowed and floated from his hand, shooting out cards from its contents. Soon, Twilight had a Duel Disk of her own and with a deck to boot. Tyler and Twilight had had a practice Duel with Tyler as the winner. Meanwhile, Bakura and Marik had decided to team up to go against Tyler and the Pharaoh. Now we continue where we left off on Equestrian Ancients: The Man With Eyes of Blue.
The chariot had gently floated in the air, making its way to the large castle in the distance that strangely looked to be made out of crystals. Being piloted by two men dressed in armor, using their wings to keep it aloft. Inside of the chariot however is what was really important. Tyler was looking out into the sky, looking slightly upset abut something. Twilight however, looked to be in complete shock. Tyler had just told her how he was introduced into Duel Monsters. She thought that hearing his story would answer any question she had about him, but it only increased the amount of them tenfold. She would have asked more of her questions, but the thought had left her mind after seeing Tyler's slightly sorrowful expression.
She sighed and decided to do the same thing Tyler was doing, sightseeing out into the now night sky. It brightened her mood to say the least, the night sky was always beautiful with its many stars twinkling in it. She could see why Princess Luna was so mad that others slept during her night instead of gazing at it. However, her thoughts slowly tuned back to Tyler, the strange humanoid sitting right next to her. There was a strange feeling coming off of him, like there was more then just his appearance. It felt powerful, yet soft. It was even to the point of overwhelming, but she felt safe by it. It was like he was two of the same mind.
As Twilights thoughts had gone back to Tyler, the said human was thinking about what his next move would be. He now knew that the world he had been sent to was obviously was based off of a kids show he watched almost all the time. But the one thing that did bother him was when he was. Where in the timeline did he end up and what effects would he have on this world if he stayed. 'I don't think you have much of a choice in the matter partner.' Tyler thought. Tyler jolted slightly at the sound of his own thoughts.
"Tyler, are you alright?" Tyler heard Twilight say behind him. He turned to look at the purple skinned Princess. He was surprised to see that she looked worried. When was the last time that someone worried about him? He pushed the thought out of his head and gave her a fake, but reassuring smile.
"Yah, I'm fine Twilight. I've just been thinking about some things..." Tyler said, his fake smile wavering slightly as he looked away from her. "Why are you being this nice to me... We just met, and for all you know, I could try to hurt you..." He said, slowly starting to look back out the window. However, he stopped when Twilight smiled at him.
"Well, why not. It doesn't take a genius to know that whoever those other two people where weren't going to do any good. You stopped one of them and it wouldn't be the right to leave you there." Twilight said, slightly shocking Tyler. But what did he expect, Twilight was the one selected to study the magic of friendship. Tyler gave Twilight a warm smile before he looked back out the window. Twilight felt satisfied at Tyler's now improved mood. She didn't know why she felt it, but she felt that things where about to get much more interesting with Tyler around.
Tyler and Twilight had just arrived to the castle that had been in the distance. The carriage gently settled down on a long balcony that had connected to the castle. Tyler had gotten out of the chariot after the armored men landed and folded there wings back. Tyler jumped out of the chariot and stretched, his bones cracking as they got used to standing again. Tyler raised an eyebrow as he heard the sound of struggling behind him. He turned around and had gotten the answer to the question he had before. Twilight was struggling to exit the carriage thanks to her wings, that had somehow expanded out to there full extent. He chuckled lightly at her annoyed grunts and acts to try and control her wings. 'So, I must be somewhere after Twilight had been turned into an Alicorn.' Tyler thought as he felt the wind behind him alter. Before he could turn around however, someone had flown past him and to the chariot.
"Don't worry Twilight, I got ya!" a voice spoke, whoever had flown past him most likely. Tyler felt himself smile when he saw the person. She had rainbow hair and a pair of wings as well. She had cyan colored skin and her wings where the same color. Even when helping her friend, her magenta eyes shone with pride as she helped Twilight out of the carriage. Tyler's smile faltered slightly as he felt a tinge of sadness. It had to be that moment when he remembered one of the many fanfictions he read. He felt a bit sorry for Rainbow Dash, but he could not feel this for long, for all he knew, this wasn't even a world that had the events of My Little Dashie had occurred. Still, he had a good enough smile on his face for Twilight not to worry as she had begin to tell Rainbow about what happened in the desert. No sooner then she did, Tyler felt his body lurch from a tackle as he found himself on the ground, Rainbow staring into his eyes.
"How did you do those things? Who was that guy you fought? What's Duel Monsters? Can I have some of those cards you gave Twilight? Can you teach me how to duel?" Rainbow said in quick succession, starting to overwhelm Tyler. He felt grateful when Twilight finally pried Rainbow Dash off of him. Tyler slowly got up and looked back at the two, Twilight glaring at an embarrassed Rainbow Dash. 'Going to have to thank Twilight for that later.' Tyler thought as he walked over to the two, Rainbow looking at him.
"Uhh, sorry about that, don't know what got into me there..." Rainbow said with a nervous laugh. Tyler smiled at her as if to say apology accepted. However, any other discussion that would have happened was stopped when a growling was heard from Tyler's stomach. He scratched the back of his head a bit, looking away from them for a moment.
"So, you got any food around here?" Tyler asked, patting his stomach lightly. Rainbow giggled slightly as Twilight walked up to him with a smile.
"Of course, I'm sure that one of the Royal Chefs can prepare you something while I introduce you to Princess Celestia. Oh, that reminds me." Twilight motioned Rainbow and Tyler to look at one another. "Rainbow, this is Tyler the Legendary Duelist" Twilight motioned to Tyler as she said this. 'Legendary is a bit much... Tyler thought. He jumped slightly, looking around for a few moments. "Tyler, this is Rainbow Dash, the Element of Loyalty." Twilight said, causing Tyler to look at her.
"Element of Loyalty? What do you mean by that?" Tyler asked, starting to get a bit on edge from the sudden voice appearing from time to time. He already knew what she meant by it, but he wanted to make sure he was in the right place.
"Well, there are Six Elements of Harmony that are used to keep balance in the land of Equestria. The Elements consist of Loyalty, Honesty, Generosity, Laughter, Kindness and the Final Element, Magic. All of these are used in any dire emergency that would heavily disrupt the balance of harmony in the land." Twilight said with a smile. Tyler stared at Twilight for a moment before turning away and towards the entrance of the castle, walking to it. "H-Hey!" Twilight yelled at Tyler, quickly catching up to him, Rainbow catching up to both of them.
Meanwhile, Marik and Bakura have gotten out from under the carriage to take a nice look around the castle. Any guard they had encountered was ether controlled by Marik thanks to his Millennium Rod or knocked out by Bakura. They where currently discussing on how to deal with Tyler.
"You know well that will not work without a god card in our possession Marik!" Bakura shouted at Marik, who growled at Bakura in response
"Then we capture that red haired brat and see if he has any of the god cards!" Marik yelled at Bakura, starting to get very annoyed with the white haired spirit.
"How do we even know that he had any god cards at all?! Of course he had the Pharaoh on his side, but it doesn't mean he has any of the Egyptian God Cards!" Bakura shouted as Marik was getting ready to shout back at Marik before he had bumped into something. But upon further notice, there was nothing there.
"What sort of magic is this?" Marik questioned as he felt around in front of him. He soon felt his hand touch something that was not even there. he felt around the object to try and find some kind of crevice, Bakura soon joining him. They eventualy dug into something that felt like it could be pried open, so the both grabbed onto it and pulled. It was slow, but they eventually pulled open what looked like an invisible door. Inside where six simple pedestals that had objects on each one. there where five necklaces; one with a lightning bolt shaped red gem hanging from it, one with a diamond shaped purple gem, one with a butterfly shaped pink gem, one with an apple shaped orange gem, one with a blue shaped balloon gem, and the last one looked something like a Crown like Tiara with a pink and purple gem shaped like a star in the center of it. Marik grinned as he entered the room, Bakura staring at him questionably.
"What interest do you have with jewelry Marik? Thinking of dressing up before we meet any other of these horse human hybrids?" Bakura said with a chuckle. Marik only growled at him in response as he walked up to the Crown.
"Think about it for a moment you moron! That brat came here with one of those half breeds right? So of course he's going to make friends with them. These things must belong to the one he was with." Marik said, a grin on his face.
"So what Marik? There just cheep pieces of rock on some fake gold. I don't even see the point of having them hidden so well." Bakura said with a snarl.
"That might be the case Bakura, but that thing that brat was with doesn't think so. So if he makes friends with that freak, he's going to do favors for it." Marik said, a sick grin forming on his face as he turned back to Bakura who was slowly getting the same smile.
"So if that thing loses something it cares dearly for... He's going to want to help it get it back, Marik you genius!" Bakura shouted as Marik picked up the crown. They both shared a cackle in laughter before the hear echoing footsteps approach them. Marik quickly raised his Millennium item up, making it glow.
"There, now no one will know that it's missing. Now move Bakura!" Marik said, quickly moving to the exit, Bakura already out. They quickly shut the door and hid behind something. The footsteps got closer and they could hear voices.
"So where are you taking me again?" A familiar voice rang out. Both of the Egyptian spirits where surprised to hear Tyler's voice. the footsteps got closer as another voice rang out.
"I'm taking you to see the Elements of Harmony. You didn't look too convinced when I told you what they where..." It was Twilight. Both Marik and Bakura had smiles on there faces. Clearly whatever Marik had was important. Twilight and Tyler stopped in front of what looked like nothing. Tyler gave Twilight a look just before her horn glowed, opening the invisible door. Tyler's eye's widened slightly as he looked inside.
"This is where we keep the Elements of Harmony, ready whenever we need them." Twilight said, looking inside. In Twilights eye's, all six of the elements where right where they should be. In Tyler's eye's however, there where only five. Tyler was about to question why there was only five, but Twilight closed the door and smiled at Tyler.
"Now do you believe me?" Twilight asked, a smile on her face. Tyler stared at her, raising an eyebrow. 'Quite desperate to prove herself right isn't she?' Tyler thought. He groaned slightly and simply walked ahead of Twilight, who looked to get a bit more annoyed. Tyler and Twilight soon left the area, leaving Marik and Bakura alone once again. After a bit, they slowly left from the hiding places and out back into the hall, Marik looking at the crown in his hands. He shared a laugh with Bakura before the crown was surrounded with a light blue sparkling aura.
"What in th-" Marik said, not being able to finish his sentence before being jerked to the side, keeping a firm grip on the crown. He jolted around a bit, trying to keep it in his hands as Bakura stared at him in confusion. He moved his head to the side a bit when he heard quiet grunting, turning to find the source of the noise. He looked over at a corner leading to another hall, seeing a figure draped with a cloak. Bakura grinned as he quickly closed the gap with himself and the figure, earning a gasp from the person, the light blue glow disappearing from the crown. The cloaked figure tried to turn and run, but before it could run, Bakura already had it in a lock hold, dragging it out into the open. It thrashes around, trying to get out of Bakuras hold as Marik walked up to it.
"Looks like someone had the same Idea we did Marik. What should we do with it?" Bakura asked as Marik flipped up the figures hood. He was a bit surprised to see a woman with a horn coming out of her head just like Twilights. She had light orange skin with yellow and red hair. Marik grinned as the woman looked at him in fear.
"What are you doing in a place like this! Why do you have the Princesses crown!" The woman stated and was about to say more before Marik's smile vanished. Being replaced with a scowl.
"Tell me, is it this that you want?" Marik asked, holding up the crown. The woman's eye's widened as she tried to make a grab for it. However, her move was utterly foiled thanks to Bakura. Marik chuckled as he stood back up.
"Now, here is what your going to do. If you want this crown so badly, then you will listen. There is a man in this place with a wooden box inside of his jacket. What your going to do is get this box and bring it to me. Then I will give you this box." Marik said as Bakura let her go. The woman brushed herself off ash she got up. But as she looked up, she froze, looking at Marik, who was so close to her, there noses almost touched.
"Why don't you show us how you got here?" Marik said, a sick smile on his face.
Tyler was currently walking with Twilight to meet with the rest of her friends, who Rainbow had gathered together in the dining room. Tyler was still surprised at how some of the people where acting towards him. Not many people treated him nicely.
"Here we are!" Twilight said, interrupting Tyler's thoughts. He looked up and saw a few cooks moving in and out of the what he thought was the dining room. Twilight lead him around the cooks and he was met with a group of eight people. One of them was Rainbow Dash, who was currently stuffing her face with food. The other seven didn't look too familiar to Tyler. There was another lady with a pair of wings like Rainbow Dash that had yellow skin and a large amount of pink hair and a pair of Blue-Green eyes. She looked like she was trying to hide behind her hair. There where two woman next to each other who looked to be normal, that is without a horn or wings. One had blond hair tied up at the end, fashioned with a cowboy hat. The other one had a large amount of pink poufy hair that curled around. Surprisingly like cotton candy. One had a light Orange skin color why the other one was pure Pink. The Orange one had Green eye's and the Pink one having light Blue eyes. The one with the cowboy hat looked a small bit annoyed as the Pink one was moving around rapidly, piling up food around the table, looking to be sinking a high pitched song. There was one woman who was sitting all by her self on one portion of the table. She had curled Purple hair and White skin and also dawned a horn on her head. She looked to be a bit board but also glad to be with her friends. Then at the very end of the table was three tall woman, each of them a different color. One White, one Dark Blue, and the last one a pink color. The white one had a horn and a set of white wings and her hair flowed without any wind, showing magical Rainbow colors. She also had light Purple eyes. The blue one was just like the white one, but her wings where blue and her hair flowed with the color of the night sky with a pair of light Blue eye's. The last one was just like the other two, with the acceptation of her pink wings. She also had Pink like eye's.
Now, you would think that Tyler would make the best impression on all of them. You would be wrong. Tyler was more nervous then he had ever been. In front of him was the main cast of one of his favorite shows, flipping out was one of the hardest things to do right now. It wasn't until Twilight had nudged him lightly that he snapped out of his thoughts. He cleared his throat lightly, walking with Twilight up to the table. The cooks have left at this point and the door was now shut and as Tyler approached the table, any conversation that was being held stopped. Everyone was looking at him as if he had something growing on his face, well, everyone but the pink woman, white woman, and Rainbow.
"Umm, Twilight? Who is that?" The White woman asked, looking a bit confused, but somewhat interested. Tyler looked a bit worried, a lot of people back home judged him but his choice of style. 'I'm sure that we have nothing to worry about you know. Tyler thought.
"Well Rarity, this is Tyler. I believe he comes from another world and he's even brought something that I find amazing!" Twilight said, causing most of everyone to stare at Tyler. He cleared his throat and held up his Duel Disk to show. "It's something he calls Dueling Monsters, and he even gave me a deck of my own!" Twilight said with a smile on her face as she showed her Duel Disk.
"Twilight, could you perhaps introduce us to this new "Friend" of yours." The tallest of the women said, sitting in the middle of the far end of the table.
"Oh right, Tyler, meet Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, Fluttershy, You already know Rainbow Dash." Twilight said, gesturing to the women with the correct names. She lead him to the end of the table by the last three unnamed women. "These are the three Princesses, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, and Princess Celestia, the separate rulers of the Sun, Moon, and Crystal Empire." Twilight said, gesturing to each one who had earned the title. "Everyone, this is Tyler the Duelist." Twilight said as Tyler waved slightly. Celestia smiled and bowed her head slightly.
"It is an honor to meet you Tyler, and I am very grateful that you where able to share your tradition with my student." Celestia said. Tyler could feel his face heat up a bit as he bowed a bit to her.
"Please your majesty, I believe it should be me that has the honor." Tyler said. Celestia chuckled lightly, but the noise was cut off when he felt something on his face. 'Were suffocating! Quickly partner, you have to do something!' Tyler thought. Suffocating? He was right, Tyler couldn't feel himself breathing as he started to struggle. He heard something that sounded like muffled voices before someone yelled and he could breath again. He took a few steps back and Rainbow caught him. He looked up and saw Pinkie in front of him. "What just happened?" Tyler asked, looking confused.
"Pinkie decided to give you one of her bear hugs and was suffocating you." Rainbow said as she let you go. Tyler looked back at Pinkie and there was no question how you where having trouble breathing. Her chest size was enormous. Well, at least to him it was. The thought of another fanfiction he read came to mind. One he liked almost as much as My Little Dashie. He remembered that it was called With Eyes of Blue. It was one of the best crossover stories he ever read. The reason why he thought about was because the body shape of all the women in the room was just like how they where in that story. God knows what would happen to his lungs if Fluttershy gave you a bear hug.
"Sorryaboutthat, youjustlooksocoolandyoubroughtthisthingcalledDuelingMosntersthatsoundscompleatlyincredablea-" The energetic party pony was cut off when Applejack put a hand over her mouth.
"So, ya think you can show us a thang or two about this Dueling Monsters business?" Applejack asked, taking her hand off of Pinkie's mouth before she could lick her hand.
"Oh, I Believe I have notes on the subject right here. Thankfully Tyler told me everything you need to know about it and I decided to write it down. If you want Tyler, we can Duel again and the others can read my notes." Twilight said with a slight sparkle to her eye's. Tyler looked at Twilight. He felt something tick inside of him and felt his chest start heating up again. His eye's widened as a glow started to come from his chest. His Millennium Puzzle was glowing again and his shadow grew behind him. Slowly, it appeared to split itself into two copy's before slowly forming back together as the glow started to envelop Tyler. The sound of a gong was heard as Tyler barely heard himself shout out something.
"YU-GI-OH!!" Tyler shouted out, but his voice changed halfway though his shout, his voice getting deeper as his appearance changed. His hair had gained a golden tint along the edges and spiked up a bit again as his eye's where now a Purplish Blue color. He had grown taller and his features had sharpened. Once the glow died down, everyone gasped, Fluttershy yelping slightly, hiding behind Rainbow Dash.
"Your the man from before!" Twilight shouted a bit, but yelped slightly when the new presence looked at her. Everyone stared at him for a few moments as he stared down Twilight, who appeared to shrink a bit under his gaze. There was a few moments of silence before the man smiled warmly at her as his stare softened.
"There is nothing to fear my friend. I have only shown myself because I believe that I would be a much better fighter then my partner." The man said. 'I wouldn't say that...' He though, rolling his eye's a bit. Twilight looked to calm down a bit and Fluttershy slowly came out from behind Rainbow Dash.
"Might I ask, who are you?" The man turned to the voice to see that Luna had spoken up. She looked a bit uneasy at his presence and was trying not to show it.
"Well, if you wish to know. My name is Atem, the ancient Pharaoh." Atem said, looking back at Twilight. "I believe you wanted to duel?" Atem said, his smile returning. His question was answered when Twilight activated her Duel Disk with a smile on her face. "Well now... I believe that's a yes." Atem said, Twilight handing the others her notes as both Atem and Twilight walked away from the others, turning to look at each other for a moment. "May we have an honorable duel my friend." Atem said.
"Agreed, and no holding back on me alright?" Twilight said, earning a chuckle from Atem as they turned around, walking away from each other for a few moments before turning around to face each other again. They held up there Duel Disks, activating them, numbers forming above them, counting up to 8000.
"DUEL!" Both Atem and Twilight said as they drew there first set of five cards.
Twilight: 8000
Atem: 8000
"I shall take the first turn." Atem said, looking at his hand. "First I will activate Trade-In. Sending Blue-Eyes Alternitive White Dragon to the Grave, I can Draw Two Cards." Atem said, sliding a card into a slot on his Duel Disk, drawing two cards.
"Then I will activate Terraforming, allowing me to add one Field Spell from my Deck to my hand." Atem said, taking his deck and looking threw it for a moment. 'Bring Mausoleum of White to your hand. He thought, adding the said card to his hand.
"Now that that's over, I will end my turn. Your move." Atem said, lowering his arm. Twilight nodded at him as her turn began.
Twilight: 8000
Atem: 8000
Twilight drew a card, looking at her hand for a moment. "First, I will set one card face down and then activate Pot of Duality." Twilight said, drawing the top three cards of her deck. She picked one and showed it to Atem. "I will bring Magician's Robe to my hand." Twilight said, shuffling the last two into her deck.
"Then I will Summon Magician's Rod, then activate its effect. I can bring one card to my hand from my deck that has the exact words "Dark Magician" In its listed text." She said, looking threw her deck. "I will bring Dark Magic Circle to my hand and waist no time activating it." Twilight said as a large card appeared in front of her, mist coming out of it as a ghost like figure emerged from it, having no face, but wielding a type of staff.
Magician's Rod: Lvl 3 Atk: 1600 Def: 100
"This will allow me to draw three cards and I can reveal one "Dark Magician" or a spell or trap card that lists "Dark Magician" and add it to my hand." Twilight said, drawing three cards and revealing one of them. "I will reveal Magician Navigation to bring it to my hand." She said, bringing the card to her hand. "Dark Magical Circle also allows me to put any other cards I drew from its effect in any order I please on the top of my deck." She said, putting her cards back.
"Now, I will enter my Battle Phase and attack you directly with Magician's Rod!" Twilight said, the ghost like figure getting in a stance, wielding its staff as the jewel like gem on the top of the staff glowed for a moment before a small blast fly's out of the staff. Anything looking threw it would see anything else on the other side as there negative colors as it hit Atem. He flinched slightly as his life points dropped down.
"I will then End my turn. Its your turn again Atem." Twilight said, ending her turn. Atem nodded, entering his Draw Phase.
Twilight: 8000
Atem: 6400
"Alright, first I will activate Twin Twister. By discarding one card, I can target two cards in your spell and trap zone and destroy them." Atem said as he sent one card to his grave, a card appearing in front of him facing towards Twilight. A large amount of wind kicked up, looking to come from the card as two large tornados came out of the card, spinning around like crazy. Everyone watching had there jaws drop almost to the floor, even the princesses before they quickly regained there composure. Atem discarded a card, causing the tornados to quickly fly towards Twilights set card and her Dark Magical Circle as Twilight holds up her arms to block the winds. They get caught in the wind, flying up into the twisters before they returned to the card in front of Atem, going inside of it before it appeared to shatter, the winds calming down.
"Then I will Summon the Sage with Eyes of Blue and waist no time activating his effect to add one Level one Light... Tuner monster?" Atem said, looking a bit confused. Twilight blinked, a bit surprised that he sounded confused. "What in heavens name is a Tuner Monster..." Atem asked out loud, slowly looking through his deck. 'Bring the White Stone of Ancients to your hand' Atem thought, taking his own advice and adding the card to his hand. "I will bring The White Stone of Ancients to my hand." Atem said, still feeling slightly confused.
"Then I will activate The Melody of Awakening Dragon. By discarding one card, I can add Two dragon type monsters with 3000 or more attack and 2500 or less Defense from my deck to my hand." Atem said, looking though his deck once again. "I'll bring to my hand my Blue-Eyes White Dragon and my Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon to my hand." Atem said, bringing the cards to his hand.
"Then I will activate the Mausoleum of White and reveal to you one Blue-Eyes White Dragon to Summon the Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon onto the Field!" Atem said as the room hey are in starts to change drastically. The area became more white as different colored orb like wisps started to float around as a massive roar was heard, followed by many more as the room was soon filled with Dragons flying around, ranging from many different dragons that not even Celestia recognized.
"This is the Ancient Site that all Dragons call home! This is also where you shall meet one of the most powerful dragons of them all, come fourth Blue-Eyes Alternative Dragon!" Atem said as the ground in front of him started to crack open as a mighty roar came from it, an almost blinding white light coming out of it as the ground exploded out, looking almost just like the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, but it looked like it had armor that was part of its own scales and also had a different bone structure. The dragon flew around for a few moments before landing in front of Atem and next to Sage with Eyes of Blue.
Blue-Eyes Alternative Dragon: Lvl 8 Atk: 3000 Def: 2500
"Now Alternative, atta-" Atem said, but cut himself off. 'NO YOU FOOL! Activate his effect!' Atem thought, wincing slightly. He looked annoyed for a moment before taking a look at the monster card itself, his eye's widening for a moment. He looked back to the duel and smiled a bit "Actually... I will activate the Effect of Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, destroying your monster!" Atem said as the dragon in front of him unleased a mighty roar, shockwaves coming from it, smashing against the ghost like figure. A wail was heard before the ghost shattered, destroying the staff along with it. Atem was about to make another move, but a glow started to form from his chest. He couldn't get out a word as he was coated in the soft glow once again that faded almost as soon as it came.
"Tyler?!" Twilight said, looking surprised and a bit shocked. The others looked just as surprised as Twilight at the sudden Transformation. 'Partner, what are you doing!?' Tyler thought.
"I'm taking over this Duel for now and I'll start by activating the Hidden effect of Tuners!" Tyler said as the Sage with Eyes of Blue and Blue-Eyes Alternative Dragon flew up into the air as Sage started to glow, shrinking down into a white ball, circling around Blue-Eyes Alternative Dragon as three green rings formed around the said monster. The Blue-Eyes started to glow and become transparent as the orb entered Blue-Eyes, causing a green pillar of light to appear inside of the three rings as figure started to form inside of it.
"May the land of the dragons shine through onto our world and grace me with the presence of one of its great warriors of scales and powerful wings. Breach the walls of time and open a portal between the time streams of past and present and bring the mighty dragon fourth!" Tyler said as wings sprout from the pillar of green light as cracks start to form on it. "Come fourth from your era of time! Syncro Summon! Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon!" Tyler said, and no sooner then he did, the green rings and pillar shattered as a Majestic White Dragon extended its wings, a rainbow like mist floating around it as its scales looked to be armor itself as the Dragon let out an almighty roar, causing most of the others to ether hide behind each other or the table and even the princesses stood up to look at this massive creature.

"Now I will Enter my End Phase, activating the effect of the white stone of ancients from my grave to bring out Blue-Eye's White Dragon from my Deck!" Tyler said as a bright light came from his Duel disk as Blue-Eye's White Dragon came flying out of the portal like light, letting out a roar before landing next to the massive dragon in front of Tyler. Both dragons look at each other for a moment before looking back at Twilight.

"My turn is over." Tyler said, staring at Twilight with a cold stare. Twilight looked a bit nervous before Tyler suddenly gave her a warm smile. "No holding back, give me your best shot!" Tyler said, Twilight slowly smiling herself.
"Alright Tyler, I won't hold back! I'll give this Duel my all!" Twilight said as she Drew her card. The others still couldn't comprehend what just happened to Tyler's monsters as they stared at the Massive Dragon in front of them.
Twilight: 8000
Tyler/Atem: 6400
"Alright, first I'm going to activate Raigeki to destroy all of your monsters!" Twilight said as a loud thunderclap was heard. Everyone that was watching was more shocked at this then anything that had happened.
"I'll activate Spirit Dragons effect! It will destroy itself to bring forth a Dragon just as old as Spirit himself!" Tyler said as Spirit Dragon let out a soft growl as its form glowed and dissipated into white mist. the mist formed around for a moment before forming into another Dragon Figure. "Brake open your glowing tomb and show yourself! Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon!" Tyler said as the glow coating the figure started to crack apart. Soon, it broke open, revealing another massive dragon, but it was a blue color instead of the white that was seen before. "When Azure-Eyes is summoned, all dragon Types I control are unaffected by Spells, Traps, and Monster Effects, so that Raigeki is usele-" Tyler was cut off when two massive bolts of lightning came down, striking Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon. They both roar out in a sound of pain before shattering into pieces. "W-What! How is that possible?!" Tyler said, looking shocked.
"Even dragons as old as Azure eye's had to combat against the bitter whether of where they originally had stayed. Even if Azure-Eyes could protect the dragons, he needs time to use his powers. And thanks to the Maxx C I just activated, I can draw one card." Twilight said, drawing a card as Tyler looked at what used to be his Dragons.
"Now I will summon another Magician's Rod to the field so I can add Illusion Magic to my hand, and I'll waist no time activating it. This allows me to target one Spellcaster Type monster on my field to add two copy's of Dark Magician to my hand."Twilight said as another ghost like figure appeared, wielding the same staff as before. However, it soon dissipated into nothing, taking the staff with it as Twilight took two cards out of her deck and added them to her hand.
"Then I will activate Sacred Sword of Seven Stars, by Removing my Dark Magician from play, I can draw Two cards." Twilight said, putting one of the cards in her hand in one of her pockets before drawing two cards. "Then I will activate Allure of Darkness to draw Two more cards." Twilight said, drawing another two cards. "However, I must remove from play one Dark Type Monster in my hand or I will discard my entire hand, so I will Remove Magician's Robe from play" Twilight said, putting another card from her hand into her pocket.
"I set three cards and end my turn" Twilight said, three cards appearing in front of her. Tyler took a breath in and out to calm himself before he drew his card.
Twilight: 8000
Tyler/Atem: 6400
"First, I will activate the White Stone of Ancients from my grave to Remove it from play so I can add one Dragon type to my hand. So I'll pick the Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon to add to my hand." Tyler said as two cards came out of a slot on his Duel Disk. He too them both and put one of them in his pocket, and the other in his hand. "Then I will activate The Melody of Awakening Dragon by discarding my second Mausoleum of White to bring to my hand another Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon to my hand." Tyler said, discarding one card and bringing the said two cards to his hand. "Now I will reveal to you my Blue-Eyes once again to summon Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon!" Tyler said as once again, a dragon like before burst out from the ground and landed in front of Tyler. Partner... Tyler thought.

"Now, I will enter my Battle Phase" Tyler said as Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon prepared to attack. Partner. Tyler thought again as he could feel something slightly warm inside of his jacket, but chose to ignore it. "Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, attack Twilight Dire-" Tyler was cut off by his own thoughts. 'PARTNER!!!' Tyler thought, growling in irritation. "What?! What do you want now!?!" Tyler said as the warm sensation had disappeared. 'I don't mean to be rude, BUT OUR CARDS ARE BEING STOLEN!!!' Tyler thought, his eye's widening as he turned around to see a cloaked figure with his Deck Box floating in the air in front of it, surrounded by a light blue glow. The figure let out a small feminine gasp and ran off with Tyler's box in tow. "STOP THAT THIEF!" Tyler shouted out, quickly running after the figure, his Duel Disk deactivating, his cards going back in his deck slot. Twilights eye's widened, but she soon joined Tyler in the chase. Tyler felt his body slowly heat up, but that didn't stop him as the soft glow enveloped him again as he ran. Soon, control had shifted once again and Atem was now running after the figure instead of Tyler.
Atem heard the sound of what was like a match being lit and then something sparkling as Twilight was now in the way of the cloaked figure. However, another sound just like before was heard and the figure teleported behind Twilight, its cloak covering Twilight for a moment before she shoved it off. The person who had stolen Tyler's cards was female, had orange skin, something like bacon styled hair and was running as fast as she could. Atem sped past Twilight, steadily catching up to the mystery woman. With every step he took, they continued to get closer to one another. They eventually got to the point when Atem was able to reach out and almost grab the box. That was, until they slammed into a door, tripping them both up, causing them to stumble into the room. Atem heard two voices gasp as the sound of something clanging was heard.
"The Pharaoh! You where told to bring the box without getting caught!" A familiar voice said as Atem looked up to see the Deck Box was bouncing around the room before it had flown into a mirror, causing the surface to ripple as Twilight just entered. Atem glared at the woman beneath him.
"What have you done?!" He yelled out, looking up at the other two in the room, his eye's widening when he saw Marik and Bakura. They looked as shocked as him, but the woman grinned as she teleported in front of the mirror.
"If you two want to get those cards, you best follow me or face them!" She said just before jumping into the mirror. Atem quickly got up, but was too late as Bakura had jumped through the mirror. Marik stopped in front of it, glaring at Atem.
"Be warned Pharaoh! Now that we have the brats cards, you will never be able to defeat us when the Egyptian God Cards are ours!" Marik said just before jumping into the portal. Atem growled slightly before looking at Twilight.
"Who in the heavens name was that and why was she partnered with Bakura and Marik!?" Atem yelled, but only earning a confused, and slightly fearful, shrug from Twilight. Atem quickly get up, heading for the mirror.
"Atem wait!" Twilight called out to him, making him stop in front of the mirror. "You don't even know where that thing will take you, let alone if you'll still be alive if you make it through." Twilight said, causing Atem to think for a moment.
"Very well, but we must get those cards back from those three. Who knows what chaos they could cause with it." Atem said, causing Twilight to nod slightly. Just then, a few of the others from before just arrived, eye's wide and some looking angry.
"Let me at em! I'll tear her apart for stealing Tyler's cards!" Rainbow Dash said, somehow floating in the air, throwing few punches. Atem tilted his head slightly, walking up to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow stopped boxing the air and looked at Atem, an eyebrow raised. Atem quickly spun her around, earning a surprised yelp from Rainbow Dash. His eye's widened when he saw that she was using her wings to keep in the air. "Hey what do you think your d-" She was interrupted with a yelp as Atem was now feeling her wings with strange curiosity.
"I never thought you could actualy use them for flight..." Atem said as he continued to feel Rainbows wings. 'Umm... Pharaoh...' Atem thought, getting lost in the soft texture of Rainbows feathers. He stopped when he heard someone clear there throat. He looked over at Twilight, whos face was very red at the moment. He raised an eyebrow and looked back up at Rainbow. His eye's widened when he saw that Rainbow had a slight blush on her face. She was shivering and her eye's where half lidded as she was on her feet again, her wings stiff. Atem instantly let go of her wings, a small blush coming to his face as well. "I am so terribly sorry! I didn't know that doing such a thing would-" Atem said, but was cut off when Rainbow returned to her senses.
"I-It's alright... Just don't do it again, alright?" Rainbow said, looking incredibly embarrassed. Atem's blush increased in color as he backed away from her.
"Well, now then... Lets get back to matters at hand. Who was that woman?" Atem asked, but was only met with confused faces. He sighed in defeat, looking back at the mirror before a voice was heard.
"Her name is Sunset Shimmer." Atem turned, looking towards the direction of the new voice. His eye's widened slightly when he was met with Princess Celestia. She walked into the room staring at the mirror for a second. "I believe we have much more to worry about then some playing cards."
