Deep in the sands within a dark chamber lit by torchlight, a group of young friends watched as two more young males stood on a raised dais of stone between them monsters and machines of shimmering light attacked on another following the orders of the two males. The males could pass as brothers for their features except for a few key differences. the spectators down below watched in silence neither saying a word as three huge monsters were summoned out on the field to the left side.
"Who do you think is going to win Joey?" A female brunette with seafoam blue eyes asked turning her head slightly to the only blond in the room.
"I dont know Tea. Yug' and Yams' are impossible to beat together but one on one? It could end up a draw." the blond, Joey stated as he watched his two closest friends fight.
"Silent Magician!" the male on the right side called out drawing Joey and Tea's attention back to the duel. "Attack the Pharaoh directly!" the male ordered out a holding back tears as a large ball of light shot out at the unprotected figure.
'I am finally free to rest in peace.' Two tones crimson amethyst eyes closed and contentment washed over the figure knowing it was his time to leave.
"Congratulations Aibou you have set me free." Came a powerful voice from the light revealing his figure. The young male was slightly taller than average with gravity-defying tricolored hair of raven black at the base lighting bolt blond streaking throughout the black to the crimson dipped tips while the blond framed his angular face. He wore a simple dark blue jacket with a black muscle shirt underneath, around his neck was a black leather choker covered in silver bumps (not quit spikes as they were rounded but i don't remember what they are actually called.) His bottoms consisted of dark blue pants with twin leather belts around his hips. A kind smile graced his lips as he walked across the cold stone his boots clicking across while low sobs came from the boy before him looking so lost and distraught.
"How... How could I have done that to you Pharaoh? Mi Horti no Boku?" The young boy asked as the Pharaoh walked over kneeled and placed a bond on the boy's shoulder. the boy shared many looks with the older man but while his features were rounder the boy had wide innocent violet eyes leaking tears his lighter blue clothes standing out compared to the elder's darker ones.
"A champion does not belong on his knees Yugi." The Pharaoh helped Yugi stand, placing his hands on Yugi's shoulders looking Yugi straight into the eyes. "You may be sending me away Yugi but i am always here with you. You learned how to be strong from me while I learned friendship and compassion from you. You will never be alone Yugi. Not now not ever." The Pharaoh, Yami, said gazing out at the rest of the group who had witnessed their duel. 'You have good friends Yugi they will protect you when i can not but i have a feeling we will see each other once again.' Yami thought, taking off his duel disk and placing it in Yugi's bag. Turning towards the doors Yami walked up to them looking right at the eye engraved on the stone doors. "I am the son of Aknamkanon. My name is Atem." Yami said proudly but his heart ached with unknown pain and longing at the name. The doors opened leaving Yami to look into a bright white of the gates of the afterlife and heading towards it as he turned to the rest of the group behind him. "Thank you, all of you," Yami said as a last goodbye as he entered the light closing his eyes and embracing the light.
He opened his eyes to find himself standing on a road made of starlight surrounded by pastel colored lights. he grew both confused and curious as six glowing orbs of light appeared in a circle around him.
"Your life is not yet done Princess," Called a female voice from behind Yami making him turn around to a purple glowing sphere as an intelligent voice came echoing out of the orb.
"Yes you will be leaving this Human World but you will be going to your birth home the realm you were given life in before they sent you away to keep you safe and to let you grow up in peace." Yami couldn't believe his ears as the orange one had spoken nothing but the truth that echoed in his ears.
"its time you returned to Equestria, it's... people... there will help you." the yellow light said softly the pink one giggling happily before pushing Yami into the light closing the doors behind him.
"But first you need a quick change Darling." A soft blue orb stated before Yami felt something stir in his body.
"How will i know who to trust?" Yami asked the swirling colors as they united into one orb looking like a rainbow.
"well duh, we are going to help you with that but right now all you need to do is sleep while we take care of the rest." a voice that reminded Yami of Joey stated before the colored enveloped Yami's form causing him to change shape before he blacked out from the magic overloading his body.

A light purple pony with an equal sign cutie mark was star gazing when her eyes caught the sight of a shooting star... That was heading for her village.
"Starlight!" An all-white stallion with a similar mark on his flank to hers called, knocking on her door a slightly panicked look on his face.
"Coming!" Starlight called as the shooting star crashed to the ground a mile or two away from the town. "Double Diamond what is it?"
"One of the town's ponies claimed they saw a pegasus caught in the light unconscious through a telescope." the white stallion, Double Diamond stated as the light purple mare's eye's widened.
"Gather every available adult mare and stallion without kids and set up a search party. That pegasus must have hit the ground hard when he or she crashed." Starlight ordered the white stallion.
"Right away Starlight!" the white stallion saluted before jogging off.

Thank you all again for reading and possibly reviewing my story.
Starlight started jogging around the town to collect every adult mare and stallion available. Acting like nothing happened and checking every place within town just in case a newcomer with wounds came stumbling in.
When Starlight had almost everything covered, she joined the main search party to look outside of town.
“Starlight over here! We found a pony!” A greyed out blue stallion called out from a small crater.
“Thank Faust you found them Party Favor.” Starlight praised the stallion, Party Favor, as she slowly descended into the crater where a pony laid on their side. The pony was unconscious with a nasty bump on their head right next to their horn. From what Starlight could make out the pony was about her age, maybe a bit younger with a tricolored mane of black gold and a reddish purple in a semi spiky style. Their fur coat was an orangey peach color and if she wasn't mistaken this pony also had wings. “Bring me a stretcher! This pony might have a concussion!” Starlight ordered. In a couple of moments, two of the other towns’ ponies brought a stretcher, letting Starlight carefully levitate and place the peach pony into it. The group rushed carefully back to the town where they were going to check him.
“Please, give us some time to check him over, meanwhile you can all either wait outside or head home and let this pony rest.” A retired medical pony said to the others while Double Diamond and Party Favor got the unconscious pony inside for the ex-doctor to check for any more serious wounds.
“I’ll wait out here Doctor. Once you are finished I would like to take the pony to my home. I have a spare room in my house that will work for now until they wake up.” Starlight offered
“That would be the best solution we can do for now Miss Starlight.” the medical professional stated going back into the small house and asking the two stallions to wait outside as well.
“Did either of you see their Cutie Mark?” Starlight asked the two stallions once they were outside of the house.
“No, I didn't see it.” double diamond stated
“All I saw was a blank flank… could the crash have caused that?” Party Favor asked in a bit of concern, a crash like that was unheard but for a full grown pony to not have their cutie mark yet? That was absurd.
Starlight sighed and sat down to wait for the Doctor to finish. It took a couple of hours to finish until they came out.
“Miss Starlight, we’re finished, he needs to be careful next time. For now the best I can say is he’ll be fine with some rest in a bed and some food.” The Doctor said walking outside with two others behind him. One was his assistant and the other was the pony that had crashed into the ground still looking a bit dazed as Starlight came over.
“Let me help you get to my home.” Starlight offered the pony, in some semblance of kindness taking a look at the Pony’s flank. It was completely bare of any Cutie Mark.
“Thank you.” The peach stallion stated in a light baritone voice as Starlight guided the dazed colt to her home and to an extra bed on the first floor.
Starlight helped the pony get to the room, once they were in, the tricolored haired pony sat down sighing. His head hurt a bit as he looked around.
“By the way, I’m Starlight Glimmer...you are…?” She started to say but needed his name in hopes of finding out who this colt was.
“Yami… my name is Yami…” the colt, Yami, stated as Starlight helped him into the bed.
“A pleasure to meet you...Can you tell me how did you end up there? It was such a big crater on the soil from how hard you hit.” Starlight asked.
“I don’t… remember the name… just that it was snowing.” Yami replied softly.

Starlight was rather perky today as it was the third day since Yami had ended up in her house as a guest and was now fully awake and conscious. ‘Maybe now I can get some answers from him.’ Starlight thought as she entered the guest room Yami was currently in, sitting by the window. The peach alicorn looked up at who entered the room and gave a small wave at Starlight.
“Good morning Miss Glimmer.” Yami greeted.
“Starlight is fine, Miss Glimmer makes me feel old.” Starlight joked to the alicorn.
