Chapter 2: Canterlot Madness

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Principal Celestia was doing paperwork in her office. It was 1:15 P.M, and the students of Canterlot High were in their fifth period classes, so nobody should've bothered her. Then a man with silver hair covering the left side of his face barged in, accompanied by two men in nice suits and sunglasses. The silver-haired man was wearing red pants with a red button-up coat, and the two men beside him both had ridiculous hairstyles. The man on Pegasus's right had his hair heavily spiked up at the front, while the man on Pegasus's left had an outrageous mullet.

"Attention duelists!" the spiky-haired man said. "Our hair would like to introduce you to our boss, Maximillion Pegasus,"

"Greetings, Principal Celestia," Pegasus said. "I am Maximillion Pegasus, owner and founder of Industrial Illusions,"

"How did you know my name? I haven't even introduced myself," Celestia said.

"I have my ways," Pegasus said. "Anyways, I'm here to set up my Duel Monsters tournament, 'Duelists Of All Worlds', right here at Canterlot High. Isn't that splendid?"

"That sounds great, but we've already set up our own event, 'Battle Of The Bands'," Celestia said. "Students compete to see which group of them makes the best song,"

"Who would want to watch that? Everyone knows card games are more entertaining than high school bands," Pegasus said.

Suddenly, the door flew open again, and Seto Kaiba leaned on the door's frame, suitcase in hand. "I would've suggested doing card games on motorcycles, but everyone I talk to says that's too dangerous and that I'm crazy. What amateurs,"

"Kaiba boy, even you know that's ridiculous," Pegasus said.

"Why does everyone like slamming my door open?" Celestia asked.

"Actually, I didn't open it. I just looked at it and it flew open. I'm Seto Kaiba, I can do that,"

"Right. Anyways, I suppose we can temporarily set up our gymnasium for a card game tournament," Celestia said.

"Wonderful! I'll start putting up the sign-up booths and posters," Pegasus said.

The nameless man with the mullet walked up to the microphone on Celestia's desk and spoke into the intercom. "Attention duelists! My mullet would like to inform you that the Battle Of The Bands has been canceled," Many cries of disappointment and outrage could be heard from the classrooms.

"I never said that!" Celestia interjected.

"Well now you did," Pegasus replied.

Kaiba left the office and wandered the hallways, having nothing better to do. As the bell rang for passing period, he bumped into one of the students. She had orange skin, hair like fire, a sky blue tank top and a leather jacket.

"I don't believe I've seen you around before," she said.

"Yeah well I'm not from here," Kaiba replied.

"I'm Sunset Shimmer. I hope we can get to be friends,"

"Doubt it. I came here to play card games and nothing else," Kaiba pushed past Sunset Shimmer.

"Hey, I didn't catch your name!" Sunset called out.

Kaiba glanced back at Sunset Shimmer. "If you really want to know, the name's Seto Kaiba. Remember that," Kaiba kept walking.

Yugi and his friends were being driven down the streets of Canterlot in one of Pegasus's many limousines, gawking at the outlandish skin and hair colors of the residents.

"It seems that everyone in this town is crazy," Yugi said.

"It can't be that bad, can it?" Tristan said.

"Tristan, we don't even know where we're going," Joey said.

"Attention duelists!" the driver said. "My hair knows exactly where we're going!"

"Well would your hair mind sharing that knowledge with us?" Joey asked.

"No,"

After fifteen more minutes of uneventful driving, the limousine pulled up in front of what appeared to be a school. At the front, there was a statue of a rearing stallion. It felt...significant, like it took up a part-time job doing something not statue related.

"Attention duelists!" the driver said. "We have arrived at our destination!"

"Wait, are we at school?" Joey asked. "I thought we came here to get away from all that,"

"Some things you just can't escape from, Joey," Yugi said.

"Nyehhh...."

Yami Bakura was sitting in the terminal of Canterlot Airport, drinking a soda and looking at a map of Canterlot he bought at the gift shop, trying to locate Canterlot High. Once he won the tournament, he would finally have the power to do what he wanted, whatever that was, because card games are the only way plot can progress in this universe. Well, that or singing duels, but who wants to watch that? Plus, he wouldn't mind having a few Equestrian cards. Now if he could only find where Canterlot High was...

Suddenly, Marik Ishtar walked up behind Yami Bakura, dragging his pink carry-on bag behind him, and tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey there, Bakura,"

Bakura turned around. "Marik, what are you doing here?"

"I heard that there was a plot happening somewhere around here. Do you know where it is?" Marik said.

"No. I'm looking for Canterlot High, but apparently they didn't think to put it on their map. Or if they did, I can't find it," Bakura said.

"No worries, Bakura," Marik pulled his Millennium Rod from his carry-on bag. "My Millennium Rod can sense the location of plot-relevant characters,"

"How'd you get that past airport security?" Bakura asked.

"I don't know, how'd you get your Ring past?" Marik asked back.

"Touché," Bakura said.

Marik closed his eyes. "All of the plot relevant characters are gathered..." He then pointed his Rod. "...over there!"

"Marik, that's a burger shop," Bakura said.

Marik opened his eyes. "Oh dear, I must be hungry again,"

"Come on, Marik," Bakura got up from his seat. "This map may not have Canterlot High on it, but I did find a diner that's probably better than airport terminal food,"

In Main Street Diner, the Dazzlings sat, discussing their plans, or rather lack thereof, amongst each other as they waited for their food.

"Okay, so now that the Battle Of The Bands has been cancelled, what exactly are we going to do?" Adagio asked.

"Well we don't have any ideas," Sonata suggested.

"Of course you don't, you imbeciles!" Adagio snapped. "We need to do something! It's not like someone's going to just walk into this diner holding powerful magic artifacts!"

Yami Bakura and Marik walked into Main Street Diner, talking with each other. Marik still held his Millennium Rod in his hand.

"Do you ever wonder why we interact so much, Bakura?" Marik asked.

"I believe the fangirls call it Thiefshipping," Bakura answered.

"What?"

"Never mind,"

Yami Bakura and Marik sat down in the booth across from the Dazzlings.

"Well I'll be. Wait right here," Adagio got up and walked over to Yami Bakura and Marik

"Ooh, I think I'll have the Fully Loaded Omelette," Marik said.

"Marik, that's a breakfast food," Bakura pointed out.

"So? I can have breakfast for dinner if I want to!" Marik said.

Bakura turned to notice Adagio staring at him, trying to put on a friendly smile but only getting to a condescending smirk.

"Are you going to just stare at us or do you want something?" Bakura asked.

"Oh, yes!" Adagio said. "My name's Adagio Dazzle, and I was wondering if you could help me and my friends out," Aria made air quotes as she said 'my friends'.

"Sorry, we're not hiring right now," Bakura said.

"Bakura!" Marik interjected. "These people could help us locate Canterlot High,"

"You're looking for Canterlot High?" Adagio asked.

"Well yes. You see, there's this card game tournament involving these magic cards and...you probably don't care, do you?" Bakura said.

"Magic, you say? That's funny, we're looking for some magic ourselves." Adagio said. "Why don't we help you out?"

"I suppose it can't hurt," Bakura said. "Why don't we go right now?"

"But we haven't even eaten yet!" Marik interjected.

"Oh alright, I suppose it can wait until tomorrow. Same place, earlier time?" Bakura said.

"That sounds splendid!" Adagio walked back over to her own booth.

"I think I've found our plan, girls..."


Author's Note

Looks like I have a lot of characters to play with. This should be interesting.
