Duel 2: The Friendship games

“Man I hate any day of the week but school days suck most.” I think walking up and getting on the bus on time.

“Hehe.” Infinity starts to crackle as I see him coiled around a massive tree that exists in the spirit world.

After what felt like a year of waiting I get to school, and surprisingly get called out by the same group of girls from yesterday, but before I can make it to them the bell rings, and I head off to math for another exciting lesson on geometry. In the class I sit with 3 other people till I realize that one of them is Sunset who still looks like she doesn't trust me. With our eyes locked the teacher says that we will be put with groups to help set up for the games in a tomorrow instead of the assignment.

Sunset without breaking eye contact asks. “How many are in one group?” Before the teacher could even reply I had guessed the answer to that question.

Two Sunset, two people per group and one group of three.” The teacher says as she notices our stares and says. “Because you are looking into his eyes so deeply then you can work together.” As soon as she says that I can see the despair filling her eyes as we grab the list of things and leave the class to set up.

“Sorry Sunset but it looks like you are with me on this one.” I say trying not to laugh at the karma that had hit her for judging me about something I thought I had control of. “But hey we can get our stuff done easy if you just don't get in my way and let me do my ‘magic’.” I say as I grab one of my cards and shout “ Souleating Oviraptor I need your help.” as it glows and summons the monster still curled up as if it was asleep. “Hey Ovi you up if you are could you bring someone Misc over here?” I ask as it gets up and does a small roar as another dinosaur pokes his head out of the ground and my necklace starts to glow a bright blue.

“Who are you talking to?” Sunset says struggling with a box as it gets lifted from her arms.

“Right you can't see them right now but to deal with the higher spots i have some monsters to help us.” I say as my hair brightens to a dark red and the monsters become visible. “These two have been picked to help one can carry the weight, and Ovi can climb some things but these walls look like it can be done easily for him right bud?” I say as Ovi speaks in his Australian accent.

“Yeah it should not be a Problem for me especially with Misc here I could get this whole building done in 3-4 hours.” He says as his fire burns brighter.

“Thanks dude you are a lifesaver.” I say as I start to ride Misc up to a point and change the lettering on the school's sign outside to say. ‘Host of This Year's Friendship Games!’ As I'm doing that I hear Sunset yell at me about something as the bell rang. I hide the monsters and send them back to their cards.

In the Duel period I try to go to sleep and ignore the ever present threat to my sanity that is Rainbow Dash. “Starshot we have that quiz today and I need your help on it please!” She says over and over again as I slowly get up, fix her board for her then collapse back on the desk and go right back to sleep. “Rough night huh?” Rainbow says as she grabs her phone to text someone.

“I just want to sleep and don't want to deal with this plus don't you have an event to train for?” I say as she gets up and tries to pull me out of my chair.

“Yeah but I need help so can you please help me.” She says in a high pitched voice

I get up, look her in the eyes and with a dead stare I give one simple word. “No.” I say and before she can get a word out “I'm not helping you because it's your test not mine.”

“I also have to talk to you about the games and how they have been on a losing streak.” She says as I perk up to a sound that I never like to hear as the PA system starts to ring.

“All students report to the gym for a message from your principal.” It rings and ends with a click.

“I need you to help by using some of your monsters to pump up the other students.” She tells me as she drags me behind the stage. “I think the Cyber Dragons you showed us should be enough to get them pumped!” She basically commands me to use Infinity and Siger.

“I guess I will.” I say as Principal Celestia finishes her speech, and Rainbow Dash walks on stage. I get to talking with these two dragons that are still fighting like kids. “Look we can't mess this up ok. Infinity you will go left and Siger you will be on the right just roar your best guys.” As I finish that sentence I hear Rainbow get to the midpoint of her song and dance. “ Siger after you just wrap around her and Infinity you are with me ok?” I say as they look at me and make a confirming sound not wanting to talk.

As the curtains pull back we can hear the students singing. “Na na na na na na Wondercolts united together! Na na na na na na Wondercolts united forever!”

“Ready boys?” I say as my hair glows bright red, almost pinkish in color.

“Ready!” They say as we get unveiled with both dragons lighting up a bright blue for Siger, and a crimson red for Infinity.

All goes well till I look up to see Rainbow Dash with the same set of ears that Sunset had but more importantly wings and she was flying! “What the hell!” I think to myself as I see her notice me and start to fly down towards me in a way as if she wanted me to catch her. Seeing this I wait till she is right above me, and catch her as she finishes her song. As she does the dragons start to coil around each other making a protective cage around us.

All I hear from the students is cheating and to me that was strange but Rainbow was soaking it up. slowly she turned back into her normal self, and I let the dragons go back to their world. “Wasn’t that awesome!” She shouts still not getting out of my arms and me not wanting to drop her just stand there till the rest of the group shows up.

“Rainbow Dash, that was amazing!” Flutter shy said as Pinkie Pie rudely interrupted her.

“I can't believe you planned all of this!” Pinkie Pie said as she jumped up and down.

“Well I got a little help from the principles and Starshot.” She said as she noticed that I was still holding on to her. “Uh you can put me down now.” She says as I just drop her and she lands on her feet.

“Anybody want to ask the question of how you pony up without the guitar?” Applejack asks as Sunset inevitably pops in.

“I don't know how she did it but I could go check on how she did.” She said avoiding eye contact with me as I towered over her.

“So do you guys know what you are competing in for the games?” I ask as they all look at me with shock.

“You know what you are in?” Applejack questions as she continues. ”They wont even let us look anywhere near the field so what are you in?”

“A Yugioh duel of course, but its rules and what type of duel are unknown to me at this time.” I say as we walk out of the gym and go separate ways.

A few hours later the buses for Crystal Prep arrive and as I walk by I see some of the students in a line outside the bus getting their names called. I sit and look for one detail on a duel disk. If someone was to have one here it would mean they are my target. Once the whole commotion outside had settled down I followed a Crystal Prep student inside as she looked at her necklace. “I wonder if her necklace is the same as mine?” I think as I see people talking to her saying hi as if they know her. “So she is Twilight and does not look athletic, probably only here to watch the games.” I think again as she collides with the school jock Flash Sentry and has a little chat with him and walks off towards the club room. “What's with her interest in that?” I mumble as she stops and her necklace opens as I hear Rarity go from her normal energized voice to a more sad and depressed tone.

As soon as she walks in the room I hear the girls all shout. “Twilight!”

“Yep, that's me.” Twilight says as she stands there staring awkwardly as I enter the room.

“Starshot yay.” I hear Sunset Shimmer say as I roll my eyes to her comment.

“Twilight welcome back.” I hear the principal say as she leads the principal of Crystal Prep around the school.

“Twilight, why are you here and not with the others on the buses?” CP’s principal asks as she takes Twilight out of the room and tells Celestia. “I'm sorry about her. I'll get her with her class and be back soon.”

As the welcoming ceremony and opening of the friendship games starts I walk off trying to figure out what the necklace was for and why it glowed. After not seeing her once I walked out and headed to the Duel classroom to grab my duel disk and make it look normal for monsters to be out and around the school. “Petiteranodon could you act as a set of eyes for me?” I say placing his card on my duel disk and picking him up.

“Sure thing!” He says as he hops in my backpack. “Anything we are looking for?”

“A purple girl with a necklace from Crystal Prep. Her name is Twilight. If you see her you can hop out and sit on my head ok.” I tell him as he makes a light, cheap sound.

Suddenly a loud screeching could be heard from the gym as I walked by it, basically forcing me inside to hear a Principal gloat about her school as the bell rings to send us home for the day.

After running for what felt like hours I got to school as the academic decathlon started. I did not have to compete in this due to the fact that each school had selected one student to be exempt from one game. I was chosen to be exempt from this. Instead I went to the second event with the other exempted contestant. As I walked into the room where our scores would be given I was not allowed to see the other student until the others came in and once they did the scores were revealed. First was Canterlot High me and the girls were the 7 chosen to be the competitors with Sunset as our captain. Crystal Prep had Twilight and some Blue haired girl as their captain.

As i left the room i got called over by celestia. “Starshot you need to know the type of duel you will be playing. It is a Turbo Duel.” She says as I remember what it is.

“The one where you have a Duel Runner and play a card game on a motorcycle, yes?” I ask as she nods her head yes and leaves me to get changed. “Why did it feel off today as if something had come through a portal? Not just one but three things. It feels like I summoned a monster but I didn't.” I think as I walk off into a Room with a fake wall. “Rarity left me an outfit huh? What a nice surprise and it's a Motocross Outfit?” I think as I grab the tag that is on it and read it.

We saw the track and thought that you might need this so treat it with care. - From Rarity

“It fits well actually.” I say as I see the Duel Runner in front of me painted in a black and red color scheme. “Even customized my Runner nice.” I say as i hear from the other side

“Oh yours too?” an all too familiar voice says as a tv on both sides turns on as we watch the others compete in their events.

Archery was first and our spear heads for it were Applejack and Fluttershy. I was not worried about Applejack. She is country as it gets and her bow skills are the best in the school. Fluttershy though she could shoot well but not accurately. By a mirricale we win and our next set of racers start going being Rarity and Pinkie Pie in rollerskating. Both do well and finish before Crystal Prep starts their 2nd lap around the track, and that's good for me because the team who finishes first gets their duelist out with Speed World active to build speed counters. As the last two girls hit the track I see the blue and orange bikes of Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer going around the track with Crystal Prep right behind them. The race continues as normal till a portal opens and a Monster appears out of it.

“Verte Anaconda!” I say as I have my Oviraptor jump in and take it out before too much damage can be done. As he destroys the plant I rev up my Duel Runner as I see Rainbow Dash flying after she saved Sunset From the Anaconda’s tail but same could nor be said for Crystal Prep as one of their Bikes had been crushed by the massive snake. As the bikes cross the like my gate gets open first as I speed into my first Turbo Duel.

Duel Start!
Starshot:8000 LP :3 Speed Counter/s
Twilight:8000 LP :1 Speed Counter/s

“So I'm fighting Twilight then.” I think as she finally gets out of the gate with her Duel Runner as I cross the starting line I wait for her to so we can truly start. Finally she crosses it as I shout “My turn I'll start by summoning Cyber Dragon Core in attack position! Then I'll activate the effect of core to add 1 Cyber Spell or Trap to my hand. I chose Cyber Revsystem! Then I’ll end my turn.” I say as my Speed Counter goes up to 4.

“It's my turn! I draw! I set 2 cards and end my turn.” she says as she gains a Speed Counter.

Turn 2
Starshot:8000 LP :4 Speed Counter/s
Twilight:8000 LP :2 Speed Counter/s

“Guess it's my turn. I draw! I summon Cyber Dragon Drei In attack position and activate its effect. This allows all Cyber Dragons to become level 5. Now with 2 level 5 monsters i create the Overlay Network Rise cybernetic dragon of the heating abyss! I XYZ summon Cyber Dragon Nova! Now with Nova I can rebuild the Overlay Network! Descend upon us with your infinite wrath! I XYZ summon Cyber Dragon Infinity!” As I say that the large dragon appears beside me flying and keeping its speed with me as we both hear the amazement of the crowd. “Now from my hand I activate Cyber Emergency! This card lets me add a Cyber Dragon to the hand and I add Cyber Dragon Nachster! Then using the effects I can special summon it to the field by discarding 1 Cyber Dragon. Then I'll activate his other effect to summon one Cyber Dragon from the grave. Welcome the original Cyber Dragon. Now I will make the Link Circuit by using my Nachster and Cyber Dragon! I Link summon Link-2 Cyber Dragon Siger!” as I finish that the monster is summoned and met with roars from the crowd. “Infinity go in for the attack! Infinity Gear Reverse!” I shout pulling a drift on the bike as he charges at Twilight shooting a beam of harsh red light at her. “Sieger if you don't mind you are up next. Cyber Revolution!” I shout as Siger’s horns on the side of his face glow and let out a charge of energy at Twilight about to hit her.

“I activate Magician Navigation!” she shouts as a Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl get summoned to the field.

“Fine, I end my turn by setting one face down.” I say as I speed up to try and get a 2nd Speed Counter for the turn.

“I Draw! I’m activating Polymerization!” she says as she holds the card up the cheers of the Crystal Prep students goes wild.

“Not so fast Twilight I use Cyber Dragon Infinity’s effect. By discarding one Overlay Unit I can negate the activation.” I say as he card is shot and destroyed by Infinity.

“Fine I summon a monster face down and end my turn.” she says as it goes back to my turn.

Turn 3
Starshot:8000 LP :3 Speed Counter/s
Twilight:5100 LP :4 Speed Counter/s

“Time to finish this duel for Canterlot! I draw! Ugh Infinity go attack her Dark Magician Girl! Infinity Gear Reverse!” I shout as Infinity starts his assault. “Siger back him up with your Cybernetic Enhancement!” I shout the order as Siger lets out a roar making Infinity grow larger and his attack connects. Twilight spins out and fixes her Ridder as I end my turn.

“My turn! I draw! I’ll play the Trap Crackdown.” She says as her trap springs up.

“I use Cyber Dragon Infinity’s effect. By discarding one Overlay Unit I can negate the activation. Sorry Twilight but that is not something you will do.” I say as Infinity eats an Overlay to stop the activation.

“Just what I was waiting for. I’ll play the other Polymerization from my hand to fuze my Dark Magician, and my Girl Dark Magician! I fusion summon The Dark Magicians! Now go and attack his Cyber Dragon Siger! Dark Burning Magic!” She shouts.

Right before it hit Siger I call out . “Siger go activate your effect!” I say as he grows larger.

“Now The Dark Magicians your turn Magic Navigation! I get to draw one card and if it's a spell or trap I can play it immediately!” she shouts as she draws a card. “I Activate Red-Eyes Fusion Sending one Red-Eyes monster to my grave and one Dark Magician to the grave I can fusion summon! I summon Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon!” As she says that the Dark Magician wearing red dragon armor came out of nowhere and started to fly alongside Twilight. “Now go Dragoon, use Dark Flare Burst on Infinity!” she says as it starts to point its want at my Cyber Dragon as it fires a blast from it destroying it. “I’ll end my turn.” Twilight says as she passes me now for the first time after I took damage from the attack.

Turn 3
Starshot:7600 LP :5 Speed Counter/s
Twilight:5100 LP :3 Speed Counter/s

“I draw! I activate Cyber Repair Plant! If I have 3 or more light machine monsters in my grave I can use both effects! First I'll send one monster back to my deck from the graveyard and I pick Cyber Dragon Nachster, then I'll add one light machine monster to my hand. I pick Cyber Dragon Nachster and summon it to the field allowing me to summon back Cyber Dragon Nova! With rank 5 Cyber Dragon Nova I can create the Overlay Network! Descend upon us with your infinite wrath! I XYZ summon Cyber Dragon Infinity!” I say as a second infinity appears to the crowd's surprise.

“I'm activating the effect of Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon it gains 1000 attack points for each effect activated meaning 4000 extra attack points bringing it up to 7000!” Twilight says as her monster glows a fierce red.

“No matter Infinity, use your effect to turn her The Dark Magicians into an Overlay Unit!” I shout as Twilight laughs.

“This is the most fun I have had in a long time! Now Dragoon’s 2nd effect will activate, allowing me to destroy a card that activates its effect.” she says smiling like a psycho

“Too bad Cyber Dragon Infinity’s effect will activate Destroying your Dragoon!” I say as the chain resolves and her Dragoon is destroyed before her effect can activate. “Cyber Dragon Infinity attack her directly Infinity Gear Reverse! Siger it's your turn to end this duel Cyber Revolution! I shout as Siger charges at her dealing damage to end the duel and breaking her pendant around her neck. “That's the game and our first win for Canterlot High!” I say as Twilight gets swallowed up by a mystical force without me knowing till I drive around to that part of the track and I end up crashing my Duel Runner to not get swallowed in it. “What the hell!” I say as I see a figure appear in the dark.

“Our Duel is not over till I say it is!” the figure spoke as it walked out of the shadows. I could see a girl like twilight but she was covered in magic from head to toe till it took form. “I am Midnight Sparkle and I challenge no I'm forcing you to duel!” Midnight says as she forms fully with pitch black wings with purple tips.

“Fine I'll duel you but what's with the new attitude and wings?” I ask switching decks.

“Oh it's nothing like you will be. If I win I get your necklace, and magic that you hold in you! So I can right the wrongs of this world by destroying it then moving to find more magic!” She shouts as I start to walk towards her.

“And if i win you will stop your conquest goals fair right oh mighty Midnight.” I say being sarcastic at the last line.

“Hahahahaha.” she laughs an evil laugh.

“DUEL!” We both shout as the girls run up beside me to help face this threat.

Duel 3: Midnight Mayhem

“Starshot. Think about this, if you fight alone you will lose. I will fight with you!” Rainbow says flying into the duel after grabbing her Duel Disk.

“Fine but only if you want to risk your magic.” Midnight shrugged her shoulders as she got ready for the fight she wanted.

“Ok then you're sure Rainbow?” I ask as she stares me right in the eyes.

“Yes for this planet’s magic and for your magic Starshot.” She says as she gets in her form while hovering midair.

Duel Start!:
Midnight Sparkle: 8000 LP
Starshot: 8000 LP
Rainbow Dash: 8000 LP

“I’ll go first!” Rainbow Dash says as she looks at her hand. “I special summon Photon Thrasher, then I’ll special summon Photon Vanisher from my hand. I activate Photon Vanisher’s effect allowing me to add 1 Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon to my hand. Now using my level 4 Photon monsters I create the Overlay Network. I XYZ summon Starliege Lord Galaxion in attack position, then activate his effect by discarding one Overlay unit ican special summon one Galaxy-Eyes from my hand. I special summon Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!” she shouts as the dragon and large Knight float over her.

“My turn! I draw! I play the field spell Seal of Orichalcos!” Midnight says as her forehead gains a symbol and the field changes to have the symbol float above the arena we are fighting in.
“I activate the Mausoleum of the Emperor, by paying 2000 life points I can normal 3 times this turn. Now I summon 3 monsters in a face-down defense position. I end my turn.” Midnight says as I wonder what will happen if i lose this duel

“I draw! I’ll activate Foolish Burial to send Petiteradon to the graveyard activating its effect, now I can summon one Level 4 or higher dinosaur monster! I summon Dogoran, the Mad Flame Kaiju! Now I'll summon Souleating Oviraptor in attack position allowing me to send 1 dinosaur to the graveyard or add it to my hand. I send Babycerasaurus to the grave to special summon Giant Rex. Now with 2 level 4 monsters i create the Overlay Network I XYZ summon Evolzar Dolkka!” as i say that the dragon appears behind me and lets out a shrieking roar. “I’ll end my turn with one face down card.” I say wondering what Midnight has planned.

“I Draw!” Midnight says as Rainbow buts in.

“Hey where is my turn?!” She shouts as Midnight just laughs at her.

“It's 2v1. I get 2 turns and you each get one.” Midnight says as I just look at Rainbow with a stare. “I’ll tribute my 3 monsters to summon Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua in attack position! Next I'll attack Rainbow Dash directly With Immortal Wave!” As she says that the massive whale-like monster circling started to move towards Rainbow avoiding her monsters, and eventually hitting her. Sending her flying off into the rest of the girls sending them to the ground by catching her.

“Rainbow you ok?” I call out as she gets up and flies back into the battle.

“I’m fine now, let's go.” Rainbow says as she is visibly recoiling from the pain of being smacked by a monster.

“I End my turn.” Midnight says as Rainbow coughs up a little bit of blood.

Turn 2:
Midnight Sparkle: 8000 LP
Starshot: 8000 LP
Rainbow Dash: 5900 LP

“I draw! I’ll play the spell Photon Sanctuary that allows me to summon 2 photon tokens and I'll tribute them to summon Galactic Spiral Dragon!” as she does this She does not knotice one of the tokens being summoned behind my Dogoran. Now I'll special summon Galaxy-Eyes Cloudragon and activate the effect of Spiral Dragon turning all monsters to level 8, and with that I create the Overlay Network I XYZ summon Galaxy-Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon!” she says as the monster suddenly appears on the field as i have a revelation.

“Wait the monster did physical damage but last i checked i dont have my magic active this should be a normal duel.” I think I remember the Seal of Orichalcos. “It must have something to do with this right or is it the magic? Because it did bring Verte into this world.” I continue to think as Rainbow calls for her monster to attack.

“Go Photon Dragon! Full Armored Assault!” Rainbow shouts as her dragon attacks Midnight’s monster but ends up hitting Midnight her earthbound immortal was still there to Rainbow’s surprise “What and she gets to keep it on the field!” she shouts as she sees Midnights LP go down by 3500.

“It does not matter, just keep attacking!” I shout at her as the wind picks up.

“Fine, then go Dogoran! Atomic Burst!” She shouts as the giant monster shoots a stream of red flame at Midnight burning up some of her wings. “Now Dolkka! Evolving Flame!” as she says this Midnight lights up.

“I activate the trap Mirror force sending all your face up attack monsters to the grave!” Midnight shoust as all of the monsters get torn up and I hear the screams of both people and monsters alike as it looks as if the world is ending.

“I-I end my turn.” Rainbow looks at me as if to say sorry I failed you. I give a smile and thumbs up looking at the cards on the field.

Turn 3:
Midnight Sparkle: 1500 LP
Starshot: 8000 LP
Rainbow Dash: 5900 LP

“My turn I draw! I summon Backup Secretary and use her effect to special summon Datacorn and 1 Datacorn token. Then I'll play Double Summon and Summon Cyberse Gadget and use its effect to summon to my field Boot Staggered! Now with 5 monsters, create the Link Circuit! I summon Firewall Dragon Darkfluid!” As she says this a deranged dragon spilling out some green code like substance appeared and was staring us down. “I switch my earthbound immortal to defense position and end my turn.”

“My turn I draw! I Play pot of avarice allowing me to send 5 monsters back to the deck and draw 2 cards. My selections are Dogoran, both Galaxy-Eyes, Evolsaur Dolkka, and Ovirapror.” Once I shuffle those cards back into the decks they came from I draw two cards and this one might be the one to win us the duel if I play it right. ”I activate El Shaddoll Fusion! By sending my Armored Arcasour and Shaddoll Beast to the grave I can Fusion Summon and I will summon El Shaddoll Construct! Next I'll play Twin Twisters to destroy your field spell!” Once I say that two tornadoes fly at the card in her duel disk, ending up throwing her around a little as she became unstable in the high wind. “I will summon Souleating Oviraptor from my hand to add Ultimate Conductor Tyranno to my hand and summon it by its effect. I can banish 2 dinosaurs to summon him to the field. Now roar Ultimate Conductor Tyranno!” I shouted, hearing the cheers of some people who were watching the duel from the school roof in either horror or awe of the monsters coming to life, or the bright colors that shine from some of the monsters. “Well both of you here is that audience that you wished for!” I shouted to my monsters as Tyranno looked behind him to see all the people.

“Do we have to fight in front of all those people?” Tyranno asks as everyone but me and the girls are surprised.

From the crowd of people I could hear things like. “He talks.” as well as “Did that lizard just speak english?”

“Anyway I'll end my turn by setting two face down cards.” I say as Midnight stands there looking at Tyranno shocked then looking at her monsters then shaking her head.

“My Turn I’ll play the Seal of Orichalcos from the graveyard. Then I’ll switch my Earthbound immortal back into attack position and attack Starshot directly! Go in with Immortal Wave!” Once the attack collides I get blown back and caught by Tyranno’s tail, but before I can recover I hear Midnight say. “I activate the spell Double Attack allowing me to discard 1 card and attack again! Once more Immortal Wave!” She shouts as the monster comes around for another attack. I hold my arms up to try and soften the blow but still get blasted into the school wall and I felt something shatter inside of my chest and arm.

“Starshot!” Rainbow shouts running to me as Construct turns to see the damage and sends one of her strings to pick me up from the ground and back to the field.

“I’ll be fine just focus on the fight if we lose we might be a bit more than banged up.” I say as my duel disk now had a piece of it cracked to the point of it almost falling off.

“My Darkfluid will attack your Construct!” Midnight says as almost instantly her dragon is destroyed.

“Shaddoll Construct destroys all special summoned monsters who attack her so try harder.” I say coughing up blood.

“I end my turn.” Midnight says looking more pissed by the second.

Turn 4:
Midnight Sparkle: 1500 LP
Starshot: 2200 LP
Rainbow Dash: 5900 LP

“My turn! I draw! I set three cards face down then I attack you Directly with Ultimate Conductor Tyranno!” Rainbow shouts as she looks at Midnight with a look of pure hatred. “You hurt my friends and I’ll never forgive you for that Midnight.” Rainbow said acting more cool and collected almost like an anime character. “Ultimate Shockwave!” Rainbow shouts at Tyranno creates a massive Bolt of electricity that then gets swallowed up by something.

“I activate the trap Negate Attack.” Midnight said as Rainbow ended her turn.

“My turn once more! I draw! I’ll go for the kill. Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua attacks Starshot with Immortal Wave!” Midnight says with a smile as the attack comes for me Rainbow activates a card.

“You are not the only one with an attack negate I activate Drowning Mirror Force! sure it won't send your monster back to the deck but it does negate the attack.” I say as a barrier of water stops the attack.

“Fine, I'll summon my Datacorn as well as its token and end my turn.” Midnight said, looking like she was on the verge of just killing us outright.

“My turn I draw. I use Harpy’s Feather Duster to remove all spells and traps on your side of the field.” I said with my vision blurring as some of the cuts had poured a lot of blood on the mostly black clothes. “I Tribute my Souleating Oviraptor to Use Tyranno’s effect flipping all your monsters face down and in defense position. Now go and attack her monsters Ultimate Conductor Tyranno. Crushing Vice!” As i shout that the monster charges at her Datacorn destroying it and dealing 1000 LP damage. “Rainbow, is this the final move you want the honor?” I ask as she smiles.

“Togethr Star.” She says looking back.

“Crushing Vice!” We shout as Tyranno gives a loud roar that shatters the glass around us and bites into the token ending the duel.

“Now that was one furious fossil.” I say blacking out for a second.

Once the deal had been set the seal had activated turning Midnight back into the smaller Twilight, as she fell to the ground the magic had been consumed by the seal it shot the magic back to whoever lost it in the first place. The final bit of magic, the bit from the portal stuck around till it found a target. That target was me or more precisely my pendant once it started to move to me i black out with the last things i hear being.

“Starshot I’m sorry.” From a female voice that I could not make out as I faded into black.

“Boss, don't die on us yet we have a few more things to do. Keep moving forward.” Infinity said as I lost all consciousness.

Duel 4: Unfair

4 weeks later…

“He is waking up!” A voice said from somewhere in the room.

“Where am I?” I think to myself as I feel arms being wrapped around me.

“Starshot you are alive!” Another voice says from the other side of the room.

“Of course I am, why would I not be?” I think as I forgot about the duel.

“One second I need to check him before you go doing things like that.” A woman in a white coat said as I opened my eyes to see the crowd.

“Hey guys, how long have I been out?” I ask as I see all the girls of the friendship club and Twilight there. “Also what is she doing here?”

“She became a friend after we found out about how she was forced to use the magic against you.” Sunset Shimmer said, looking down at her phone.

“Ok then well how long am I supposed to be in here for?” I ask as they look at eachother with Rainbow just now entering the room with drinks.

“Today if you are lucky.” Twilight says nervously.

“STARSHOT!” Dash shouted as she jumped over everyone to hug me, throwing the drinks out of her hands with Applejack and Pinkie catching them.

“Hey calm down, you don't need to be so dramatic. I was only out for two weeks, not like anything has changed.” I said, sitting up, grabbing my pendant from the table and putting it on to greet the spirits. “There are a few more of you than normal.” I think as I see some new spirit Galaxy-Eyes Cloudragon around Rainbow Dash and a Horus chick around Twilight.

“Two weeks dude it’s been over a month since that duel. My wounds from it have healed though not completely.” Dash said as I saw a light scar that went down her hand.

“Boss you up, finally now I can get rid of these two.” Ultimate said before throwing Sieger, and Infinity far off.

After about 20 hours of waiting I was released from the hospital only to find myself doing the same thing that put me in but more tame as an introductory duel between the two transfer students Twilight and Sunset wrapped up with Sunset winning the duel. “Wait Sunset?!” I finally thought. Seeing her walk back to her seat across from me with twilight in the seat next to her. According to Rainbow there was an audible thud when they got there from my head hitting the table.

“You know boss, you should pay more attention.” Infinity said curling around my neck with Sieger in Rainbow’s lap acting like a dog.

“Ok class as you know the everfree trip is just around the corner and this class is coming to an end, and it has been good for me to teach you but from now on this class will have a new teacher. Starshot!” The teacher shouted as I looked up.

“This is because I sleep in your class right?” I said as he laughed.

“No, this is because of them and your ability to summon real monsters.” The teacher said as his own monster The Calculator transformed from the one on the desk. “You don’t know? your father allowed for some of the doctors to run tests on you, and when they did they were able to discover how to make monsters that are physical.” As he said this I touched my chest looking for my pendant.

“My father? That’s impossible because he died years ago or at least that’s what I was told.” I say as my pendant is not around my neck.

“In the record states he never died and he did just make the tech to bring monsters to life about a month ago.” The teacher says as I hold my head

The bell rings signifying the end of the day and I see monsters everywhere, all of them in a smaller chibi state. Walking then running through the halls then getting on the bus I ignore all the people talking and monsters chatting. “MOM!” I yell as I knock down the door and throw my stuff down. “What did you do and why is dad alive?”

“Your dad made his reappearance then.” She said as if she knew.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“Your dad never died, he just left us to work on his projects and one of them was your pendant and eyes.” She said looking down crying.

“My eyes?” I said sitting down next to her.

“Yes You were blind as a baby but your dad had used a Duel Spirit to make new eyes for you. He also changed your DNA when you were in a coma that he put you in so you would not be lonely Starshot.” She said still crying.

“So you let him do this to me for what?” I said as my hair glowed red.

“So you wouldn’t get sick and injured. Even the pendant which he called the stabilizer was so you don't get too emotional and break out into the spirit realm.” She said, clearing her tears. “But hey now you know and are a teen so you should be able to control it.”

Just then a knock at the door had broken the silence. “Miss Kepler, your husband has requested that the whole family move in together now that his work is done.” A man said outside the door as my little sister opened it and walked in.

“Who is that?” She asked as she walked past the man.

“Someone who will take us to our new house.” Mom said as my sister ran to go pack her things.

“So now I have to live with him after he experimented on me?” I asked my mom as she just nodded yes. “Fine then.” I said as I walked into my room and had my decks help pack my stuff into suitcases or portals to the point where all that was left was a bed.

“Starshot, where are you going?” My sister asked.

“To a friend's house, Nova.” I say with a smile as I put up my hood and walk out with my suitcase in toe.

“Starshot you get back here right now!” Kepler screamed as I kept walking.

After a bit I turned around to see the car slowly following me. “Boss, you know that they are following you right?” Construct said as she flew around me.

“I know if only they would disappear at the flick of a wrist or something.” As I say that I snap my fingers vanishing into thin air for the people around me. On the other end of the dimension I walk through the spirit realm. “ So it's activated by snapping then? Wonder if I have to have a purpose or if it’s anytime.”

“Boss you ready?” Infinity asks as he turns into his full size looking back at me. “Hey boss, what's with the white hair?”

“What?” I say as I pull a little hair over my eyes to check. “White hair? Guess the spirit realm must change my appearance without the pendant?” I questioned thinking about what could cause it. “Guess the duel spirit I have in me was white then. Hey Infinity seeing as we need a place to call home till the heat dies down, where do you think we should go?” I ask the now seventy foot long dragon, and almost instantly.

“Rainbow Dash!” He shouts as if he had plans to meet up with someone.

“Fine then to her house it is.” I say as I jump on his back, and we fly off towards where her house was.

All was fine till I saw something in the distance. 3 lights one blue, one purple, and one yellow. I did not mind this as we flew by but something that I kept in mind as a battle between monsters.

“Yahhh!” I heard something shout as we approached what I assumed to be where Rainbow's house was.

“Ok not the time for a fight!” Infinity said landing as I jumped off to see the dragon who threw the punch.

“Ah Galaxy-Eyes good to see you.” I say as I snap my fingers and hope that I could return to the real world with my hair color turning to normal after I leave.

I appeared to be just down the street from her house as I walked up the hill to her house. Just as I was about to knock on the door a loud bang was heard as the door opened with Rainbow holding a bat in her hand as if someone tried to attack her. “Starshot! You felt that right the large magic burst started at your house and now it's here!?” She shouted.

“Sorry I think that was me.” I laughed as she put the bat down.

“Really there is no way you could make a burst of magic like that.” She mocked as if she could do better.

“Hold my hand.” I said as she stared at me and blushed slightly.

“What why?!” She shouted.

“Ok then fine.” I say grabbing her arm and snapping my fingers a few times with my other arm till the dimensional shift.

Just as we enter the fight between Cyber Dragon Infinity and Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon rages on, with some debris almost hitting us. I pull us out of the other world with another snap before we could be crushed by stones.

“Ok maybe I believe you.” She said as she fainted out of shock. 10 minutes later she woke up in her bed with me on the floor. “What are you doing in my room!?” She shrieked as her parents walked in the room.

“He asked if he could stay here for a little while as his family is out of town.” Windy said as her dad chimed in.

“So we are letting him stay in the guest room.” Bow chimed in.

After the whole ordeal with my family saying that I needed a place to stay was simpler, and I did not want to explain the new experimental factor in my life. Later that night Rainbow had questioned me about why I was staying the night. “Dude you can't just appear at a friend's house without calling them.” She said as we were playing video games in her room.

“I would but I don’t have one so can't call you.” I say as she looks at me like I'm insane.

“How do you not have a phone? It's almost required nowadays!” She shouts at me as I start winning our game.

“It’s a distraction and I don’t really have a need for one. I never had friends till this year, and staying off the grid helps me get out of most things.” I say winning the game with a reward of a hard punch in the shoulder.

“That still doesn’t mean you can’t have a phone.” Dash says as we get ready to call it quits for the night. “Anyway Starshot the guest room is the next one to go to sleep. I'll see you in the morning.” She says with her normal trickster tone.

“Whatever Dash I’ll see you at school.” I say walking out of the room picking up my deck on the way out.

Once we had gone to sleep and woken up the next day I left for the bus before Dash had even woken up. I tried to wake her up but with how hard she sleeps I would have better chances brushing Tyranno’s teeth.

“Thinking you could leave without me Starshot!?” I hear from about two blocks down the street seeing Dash and Cloudragon full on sprinting down the road almost racing the bus to get there before it.

“Come on Dash hustle!” I shout with a smile as she grows wings, grabs Cloudragon, and flys over to the bus stop. “Boring if you could fly then I’ll just walk to School with my friends.”

“Boss If you want I can fly you.” Infinity said as we made off for the school right behind Rainbow Dash.

“You don’t have to go so fast, Dash.” I say as we catch up with her on infinity now in his full size.

“You could have waited for me or better yet woke me up!” She shouted as we landed at the school to claps and cheering from the other students.

“Well if you would wake up when I shout your name then I wouldn’t leave without you.” I say giving her a death stare.

“Whatever Starshot just get out of here I’ll see you in 6th period.” Dash says before shouting. “Plus you don’t even have friends that ride our bus or go our route!” as she runs off to beat the bell.

“Whatever.” I think I noticed the three lights I saw in the spirit realm now starting to manifest but I don’t mind because duel spirits manifest into our world a lot of the time just not visible.

In 6th period the four of us being me, Rainbow, Shimmer, and now Sparkle all sit at the same table. Right as the bell rings, and attendance is finished I clock out for the period till woken up by all of them with a devious grin on the faces of both Shimmer and Dash. “So Starshot, did you hear about the assignment today?” Shimmer asks as I see the classroom outside on the field practicing.

“No and I don’t care.” I say before she chimes in.

“It’s half your grade Starshot.” She says as I polt outside and I'm ready to fight at a moment's notice.

“Yo, what was he assignment?” I ask as I see the girls with their duel disks run outside.

“A 3v1 Duel if you can survive three turns the team of three loses but with you.” He pauses remembering the fight I had not too long ago. “You can beat them Starshot.” he says almost as if they paid him off for this.

“Well besides the 3v1 what type of duel is it?” I ask, feeling dreadful and worrying about what they had planned.

“An action duel and the turns will be you, Dash, Twilight, Shimmer then back to you to end one round. You may use more than one deck in this duel.” The teacher says to my relief.

“Ok then so I get two turns in one round then.” I think as we get into positions with our backs to each other.

“Duel!” We shout running off from the start.

Turn 1:
Starshot: 8000
Rainbow Dash: 8000
Sunset Shimmer: 8000
Twilight Sparkle: 8000

“Well let's start with Black Brachios!” I shout as the purple sauropod rises from the earth, and a crowd starts to form as I hop on brachios’s back. “I’ll set three cards and end my turn.” I say as I take off, and they smile as if they are going to end this turn one.

“My turn! I’ll summon Photon Orbital, and end my turn with a face down.” Dash shouts starting off for the action card I was targeting.

“M-My turn. I play Horus The Black Flame Dragon Lv4. Next I play the spell Double summon and use its effect to summon Armed Dragon Lv3 then I’ll end my turn with a face down.” Twilight said in her quiet tone.

“I'll go next. I'll start with Red-Eyes Insight! By sending one Red-Eyes monster to the graveyard I can add one spell or trap that lists Red-Eyes in its card text. I choose Red-Eyes Fusion, and I’ll play it to fuse my Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Lightpulsar Dragon from the deck into Meteor Black Comet Dragon!” Shimmer says as she pulls out an action card from a bush. “Meteor Black Comet Dragon attacks Meteor Flash!” She shouts as I look for an action card to get out of this.

“hg.” I groan as the attack collides with Black Brachios destroying him, sending me flying into the dirt.

“That will do it for now, Starshot. I end my turn.” Sunset says as I get my next turn.

Right then I draw. I'll send one monster to the graveyard to special summon Cyber Dragon Nachster, then with Nachster’s effect I can summon one Cyber Dragon from my graveyard. raise Cyber Dragon! Next I’ll summon Cyber Dragon Drei!” As I finish the summons the three dragons are dropped into battle by helicopter or flying themselves in. “I’ll activate Cyber Dragon Drei to turn Nachster into a level five monster. Next I’ll use my two level five monsters Drei and Nachster to create their overlay network! I XYZ summon Cyber Dragon Nova! Don’t get used to him now because I’ll use my rank five Cyber Dragon Nova to XYZ summon once more! Go Cyber Dragon Infinity!” I shout as my old friend flies in letting out a deafening roar that got the attention of even the principles. As I ran around with the two machines following me I picked up an action card and chose to save it for later. “Infinity, activate your effect and consume Photon Orbital!” I shout as the dragon lets out a roar turning the opposing robot into a ball of light and adding it to its track of overlay units. “I’ll end my turn for the cyber dragons.” I say as the next round starts

Turn 2:
Starshot: 6300
Rainbow Dash: 8000
Sunset Shimmer: 8000
Twilight Sparkle: 8000

“Now I draw!” as I say this I see Twilight say a number. “I’ll set one monster face down then end my turn.” I say as I think about the hell that could await me if Twilight starts to count higher.

“Finally feels like a year my turn! First I’ll use Photon Sanctuary. This allows me to get two photon tokens on the field. Next I’ll tribute my tokens to summon Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!” As Dash finishes her sentence I see the sky turn black with stars covering the sky, and the dragon appears from space smiling seeing Infinity on the field. “I’ll activate the spell Action Magic Rush! This card lets my monster attack you directly but only for half the damage. Go Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon attack with Photon Stream of Destruction!” Rainbow says as the burst of light hits me square in the chest knocking me off Infinity and onto the normal Cyber Dragon below. “I end my turn.” Rainbow says with a smile.

“Five.” Twilight says as she draws. “I’ll activate Wave Motion Cannon!” she shouts as I nod to Infinity.

“Not so fast Twilight. Don’t forget about Infinity now his effect activates by consuming one overlay unit it can negate and destroy your card.” I say knowing I might have lost the duel if that card had hit.

“Fine then. I’ll activate both my monster's effects allowing me to summon Horus The Black Flame Dragon lv6, and Armed Dragon lv5 from my deck. I’ll end my turn by placing one card face down.” Twilight says huffing as all the running was hard on her till one of her dragons picked her up.

“RIght my turn, then I draw!” Sunset says as she mounts her dragon. “I’ll send the Red-Eyes Black Dragon to the grave to summon Red-Eyes Alternative Black Dragon. I’ll activate the spell Silver’s Cry to summon from my graveyard Red-Eyes Black Dragon now I’ll use my two level seven monsters to make the overlay network! I XYZ summon Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon. I’ll then use its effect to discard an Overlay unit to summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon from the graveyard.” As Sunset says her move I start to rush over to another action card. “Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon Attack Cyber Dragon with Black Molten Flare!” Sunset shouts as the dragon breathes fire that hits me directly with a burning feeling on my skin. “Meteor Black Comet Dragon Attacks his Cyber Dragon Infinity with Meteor Flash!”

“I activated the quick play spell Energize allowing me to give one of my monsters one thousand extra attack but it can't attack on my next turn.” I say as the twenty seven hundred attack becomes thirty seven hundred destroying her monster.

“Dang I’ll end my turn.” Sunset says as I sigh in relief.

“I’ll start by playing Cyber Revsystem to revive Cyber Dragon Nachster from my graveyard and with him my original Cyber Dragon! Next I’ll use Nachster and Cyberdragon to make a link circuit. I Link summon Cyber Dragon Seiger! I’ll activate Infinity’s effect, and I pick Red-Eyes Black Dragon!” I shout in a commanding voice as the monster is added to the overlay tack. I look at my hand to see the amount of cards I have and hear from Sunset.

“Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon’s effect activates; you take 500 damage for each effect activated for a total of one thousand five hundred life points of damage.” She says with a smug face as a ring of fire comes from the ground to burn me.

“Fine then but I'm not done. I activate Super Polymerization! By discarding one card I can use your monsters for a fusion summon! I pick Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Meteor Black Comet Dragon to use as materials. I fusion summon Starving Venom Fusion Dragon then use its effect to copy the effects of Cyber Dragon Seiger.” I say as I feel the heat from the fire ring come back up for another thousand damage.

“Good call on that dragon Sunset.” Dash says as she gives Sunset a High Five as Twilight gives a smile.

“I’m not out yet girls so be ready! Starving Venom will activate his effect and attack Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon with Venom Frenzy!” I shout as the dragon flies off to sink its teeth into the metallic dragon destroying it. “Seiger attack Horus The Black Flame Dragon lv5 with Cybernetic Overflow!” I shout as the monsters clash. “I end my turn.”

Turn 3:
Starshot: 1100
Rainbow Dash: 8000
Sunset Shimmer: 5900
Twilight Sparkle: 8000

“I’ll flip summon Shaddoll Squamata to activate its effect to destroy one monster on the field. I pick Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon. Next I’ll use Shaddoll fusion to fuse my Squamata with the Armored Archosaur in my hand to summon out El Shaddoll Construct!” As I shout this out the wooden maiden awakens from her slumber and descends on the battlefield. “With two dinosaurs in the grave I can special summon out an old friend. I special summon Ultimate Conductor Tyranno!” I shout as the ground shakes to reveal the bones of an ancient beast growing flesh and armor. “Ready it’s time to end someone's game Tyranno Attack Sunset with Electric Vice!” I shout as he shoots a bolt of lightning at sunset. “Shadoll construct your turn Twisting Wires.” I say as the monster wraps sunset in wires and starts to twist.

“Augh!” sunset screams as the monster lets go.

“That will be all for now.” I say as the turn passes to Dash “Hope you don’t mind it being just two of you now.”

“That doesn’t scare me even if I know what will happen next Sensei.” Dash says, holding her head high.

“Sensei, didn't we talk about you calling not me that?” I say weirded out as she looks at me with devilish eyes.

“We did but you are my superior in dueling so Sensei makes sense.” she says, grabbing an action card. “I’ll do the same thing as last time, Photon Sanctuary into Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!” she says with her normal attitude. “Next is a monster reborn to bring back my other Photon Dragon. Last but not least I make the overlay network with my two level eight monsters. I XYZ summon Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon! I’ll activate its effect by detaching an overlay unit, all effects on your side of the field are negated till the end of the turn!” She says with a smile thinking she won.

“Sorry Dash I use Infinity's effect to negate and destroy your Tachyon Dragon.” I say as she lets out a yell.

“I can’t believe I forgot about that again!” she says as the monster disappears. “I end my turn.”

“My turn I draw. Twilight says as she looks at the cards in her hand I’ll play Level Modulation. You draw two cards and I can summon Horus The Black Flame Dragon lv6! Then I’ll play Level Up! tributing my lv6 to make it Horus The Black Flame Dragon lv8!” Twilight says, smiling to herself. “I’ll end my turn and attack me if you dare.” She says setting 3 cards.

“FIne then I’ll make it quick Seiger, Starving activates your effects on Infinity.” I say as the dragon goes from two thousand seven hundred to six thousand nine hundred. “Infinity add her Black Flame Dragon to the overlay track.” I say as the dragon is added and another two hundred attack points are added to Infinity. “Go ahead and attack Dash! Infinity Gear Reverse!” I shout as the dragon unleashes a blast from his jaws.blowing her back and into Twilight knocking them both down.

“Initiate duel override.” A female voice says as we look at our duel disks.

“That’s enough kids, the winner is clearly Starshot.” The teacher says as the bell rings to end the day.

As we are walking home I feel a hard tug on my bag by Sunset. “You could have at least taken it easy on us.” She says with an angry tone.

“I did, I had MST and Mirror force in my hand so I could have bounced cards back.” I say as Twilight looks at me.

“But from what Dash said you seem to be the one who taught her to duel.” Twilight says holding her Hours chick in her arms.

“That’s true she won’t admit it but she got into dueling.” I say as Sunset and Rainbow Dash look at three girls ahead of us.

“Sunset could that be?” Dash says as they stare harder as one of the girls turns around locking eyes with Dash before telling the other two, and running away from the death stare.

“It can’t be we sent them back to Equestria. There is no way that they should have made their way back.” I hear Sunset say under her voice.

“What’s Equestria?” I ask as the girls look as if they have been hiding this for years.

“A magical land where ponies talk.” Sunset says as I burst out laughing.

“That's insane, it sounds like a kids show.” I say calming down slightly.

“Rude much?” Dash says as I’m shrill laughing.

“Sorry It just sounds strange to me. I mean a world where the ponies talk next you will tell me that the magic leaks here.” I say as the girls stop. “Wait so magic exists here because of that place?” I question thinking about how the recent events could be explained. “So the whole flying thing, the shadow game? Dash, do you think this magic has a role in my powers?” I ask starting to get worried as to what would happen if this magic got out of hand.

“Probably not as the magic that comes through is friendship based.” Sunset said almost like a personal jab.

As we start walking again the girls give me a brief explanation on magic and how they used it. Sunset with her story on how she turned into a demon, then embodiment of friendship. Rainbow Dash's wings that transformed her into a valkyrie that could keep up with Infinity’s speed. Finally Twilight who went in depth about the science behind it so much to the point where I spaced out. Soon we reached an intersection where Twilight and Sunset made their leave to go home with me, and Dash walked in silence.

“So now that you know that you are forced to join us on our escapades ok Starshot.” Dash says as we approach the house.

“Fine but I get to keep my runner in the garage ok.” I say as Dash smiles.

“Only if I get to ride it every now and then.” she said with a jingle from her keys.

“Ah there she is.” I say as my runner drives itself into the driveway.

“How did?” Dash questioned.

“Seiger can interact with electronics so I let him drive the bike here.” I say as he revs the engine.

“Whatever, just know I’m beating you this time.” Dash says opening the door and rushing to her room.

“Sure whatever you say.” I think as I join her for a game.

Duel 5: Dueling Team?

After school the next day I met up with Sunset, Twilight, Dash, and the rest of the friendship club in their club room. “This is a recreation of the device I used in the friendship games though this one is made to detect magic.” Twilight says as she opens the pendant pointing it at Sunset as it glows a bright orange. “See it should work just fine on you.” She said change the target to me as she presses a button to reset the device. “Hold still Starshot.” She says as I feel it scan me. The device had made a sound as Twilight looked down to see a white light slowly change to black and back to white. “Strange It’s picking up a low frequency of magic from you barely enough to read, but it's there.” She says tilting her head. “Maybe if I make it more sensitive we could pick up something stronger.

“How do you know it wasn’t picking up on Sunset?” I ask as the device gets turned off and tweaked.

“The color of the magic is different from person to person. Usually the color of their skin or hair. Sunset’s is orange, Dash baby blue and so on and so forth.” Twilight says as I look at the dull brown on my skin as I think of the two colors that could come out of it.

“Then where did the white come from?” I ask as she rolls her eyes.

“Like I said it wasn’t strong enough so it would pick up and drop the signal over, and over. That and white is the base that I use for when it picks up no magic.” Twilight says as she puts the device back together then pointing it at me once more. “Let’s start again shall we.” She says turning it on as it starts to scan me once more. “Strange It’s picking up on magic more than the normal person but it seems that it can’t pick between red or blue.” She says as I think about the white hair that I got in the other realm.

“Damn science experiment.” I mumble under my breath.

“What did you say?” Twilight asks as she closes the device.

“Nothing, just something my father did popped into my head.” I say as she gives a sigh of relief.

“Speaking of which, your father is an amazing man. I mean making solid vision duel monsters, and moving out of holograms for the monsters.” Sunset says as I scoff.

“Only took him fourteen years.” I say to the disgust of the other two.

“He could win a Nobel prize with this. Why aren't you happy for him?” Sunset says as she gets closer.

“Because I don’t want to be happy for someone I barely remember.” I say giving her a glare.

“Hey Sunset give him a break you won’t change his mind on this anyway.” Dash says from the other side of the room. “I tried to last night and he went even harder on me than normal in Mortal Kombat.”

“I’m just wondering how you could not like one of the greatest scientists in the world?” Twilight questions with Sunset agreeing.

“Good scientist does not mean a good father.” I say as I walk out of the room to see Dash give the others a glare. “Are you kidding me, the greatest scientist? That should go to someone who actually cares for the family, and not some deadbeat dad that leaves their child after turning them into their little science experiment.” I say to myself walking down the hall till the sound of footsteps interrupt my thoughts.

“Ah Starshot.” I hear as I look up to see the Principal and Vice Principal standing before me.

“Yes?” I ask hoping I didn’t break something on the way out of the room.

“Come to my office I need to talk to you about something.” Celestia says as she gestures to me to follow her. “As you know the school is putting a duel team together, and I would like you to be the team leader of the Wondercolts dueling team.” She says as we walk into her office meeting the other two members of the team. “This is Juniper Lily and Hyper Cross.”

“Sup Captain!” The guy said with his amber hair and red skin with a black shirt that said ‘space in wild’ on it.

“Whoa Captain? I never agreed to even join the full team. I joined in the friendship games because I was asked by a friend to participate.” I said looking at who I now know was Hyper Cross.

“Well considering the school gave you a duel runner that was customized for you. I think leading this team of duelists for your last two years of school shouldn’t be hard.” Celestia said with the keys to my runner in her hands.

“You know how to seal a deal then Principal.” I say as she speaks up.

“You also have Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer, and Twilight Sparkle in your team.” Vice Principal Luna says with a devilish grin.

“And this is where we have to step in!” Infinity says manifesting from my deck. “I want to see the style of these Duelists and if you don’t let us see that then the bike will be gone by tonight.” Infinity says to the horrors of the others in the room.

“How I thought the monsters had to be scanned to be summoned!?” Juniper says with her eyes growing wide.

“So you have not heard then? I make monsters physical, but more importantly unlike those scanned mine.” I say as I'm cut short by the sound of the door swinging open.

“Good you are here Starshot!” Dash shouts jumping onto me to the annoyance of Hyper Cross.

“Construct what did we say about copying people, especially her.” I say twisting the head around to reveal a puppet that was the same size as dash but in a deep blue dress.

“But I thought you like h-” Construct starts to say before her wires are cut by Infinity’s wings and she is sent back to her card.

“Sentient. Living breathing monsters that have physical forms though they know not to manifest without permission.” I say looking at Infinity who has wrapped himself around Luna’s neck and fling something at me.

“So these monsters are real, and it wasn’t Midnight Sparkle that manifested them?” Juniper ays as she remembers that day.

“It was a half and half thing. Usually if they do manifest by accident they hold back with attacks but it seems they thought they were holograms or at least U.C.T did?” I say holding my head.

“UCT?” Hyper asks as an egg shell hatches from in my bag and the mini T-rex pops out.

“You called Starshot?” Ultimate Conductor Tyranno says with his normal deep voice.

“Yes, could you please remove the snake from the VP?” I say as he nods and shocks infinity back into his card forcefully only to vanish himself leaving just the shocked faces of everyone else in the room.

“Surprisingly I didn’t feel that jolt despite knowing it’s there.” Luna said as I tried to slip out of the room with the keys in hand.

“Ahem Starshot, where do you think you are going?” Celestia says as I’m halfway out the door. “Your card had a good point: you should watch a duel between these two, after all they are your team members.” Celestia says with a smile.

“Fine, if they are good I’ll lead the team.” I say as we walk out of the office to the field with a cheer from Hyper. Once we were on the field the Principals went to the stands as I refereed the duel. “Alright you both know the rules of the game so first one out of life points loses begin!” I shout as the duelists ready their hands

Turn: 1
Hyper Cross: 8000
Juniper Lily: 8000

“I’ll start with one monster face down and setting a card face down. I end my turn” Juniper said as she ended her move.

“Ah yeah I draw! I’ll summon Speedroid Den-Den Daiko Dude, and special summon Speedroid Taketomborg! My level three Speedroid Den-Den Daiko Dude tunes level three Speedroid Taketomborg! I synchro summon level six Hi-Speedroid Kendama, then I’ll use it to attack your face down! Go High Speed Blitz!” Hyper shouts the whole time as if we couldn’t hear him.

“Augh!” Juniper shouts getting wind blown into her face.

“I end my turn with two face down cards.” Hyper says as the monster returns.

Turn: 2
Hyper Cross: 8000
Juniper Lily: 6600

“I draw, I'll summon Rikka Petal in attack position. Now I set the field spell Rikka Konkon, and activate its effect by tributing my Petal to add Rikka Glamour to my hand. I’ll end my turn to the tune of a face down.” Juniper says now getting into the duel.

“Thank you for the turn. I summon Speedroid Terrortop, and activate its effect to special summon out Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice. Red-Eyed Dice will use its effect to change the level of one monster on the field. I pick Terrortop and change its level to four. I use level one Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice to tune my level four Speedroid Terrortop. I Synchro summon Hi-Speedroid Hagoita now to attack you directly!” Hyper says as the monster charges in, or shoots a payload at Juniper. “I end my turn.

Turn: 3
Hyper Cross: 8000
Juniper Lily: 2400

“Lucky me I summon Lonefire Blossom then tribute it to special summon Snowdrop the Rikka Fairy, and by her effect I’ll also special summon Mudan the Rikka Fairy, once again an effect activates I get to add a spell or trap that lists Rikka in its text. I pick Rikka Sheet, then I activate Twin Twisters by discarding one card. I can force you to destroy two of your spells or traps.” Juniper says with a determined face.

“Damn.” Hyper says as Luna, and Celestia gives him a look.

“Next is Monster Reborn to summon Snowdrop the Rikka Fairy. Then I will use one Snowdrop the Rikka Fairy, and Mudan the Rikka Fairy to link summon Sylvan Dancepione. I’ll use her effect to excavate three cards from my deck. I special summon Rikka Petal, and Sunseed Genius Loci. Sylvan Dancepione’s second effect will activate turning both these monsters to level eight. With these level eight monsters I create the overlay network. I XYZ summon Teardrop the Rikka Queen! Next her effect will activate allowing me to tribute a monster on your field I pick Kendama. Teardrop attack his Hagoita with Crying Lotus! Sylvan Dancepione attack him directly Grapes of Rage!” Juniper calls out with a bow. “I end my turn.”

“Well looks like that was a bad plan for me. I special summon Hi-Speedroid Kendama, set a card, and end my turn.” Hyper says as he drew a brick.

Turn: 4
Hyper Cross: 5800
Juniper Lily: 2400

“Good I’ll play Sylvian Dancepione’s effect once more. I’ll summon Aromage Jasmine and Rose Girl, with Dancepione’s second effect I set their levels to eight and create the overlay network. I XYZ summon Alsei, the Sylvan High Protector. Now Asei attack his Kendama with Sylvian Pride. Next is Teardrop and Dancepione attack him directly!” Juniper says as hyper is flung a few feet back. “Your turn now Hyper Cross.”

“Damn that was good but I feel like you aren't going easy on me.” Hyper said with a smile looking at his cards. “I’ll use a monster reborn to summon Speedroid Terrortop, and by its effect Red-Eyed Dice is summoned. Because a speedroid tuner monster is on my field I can special summon Hi-Speedroid Hagoita, and increase its level by one I will also increase my Red-Eyed Dice to level two. My level two Red-Eyed Dice tunes level six Hagoita! Become the circuit that leads the future into a new age of fun! I Synchro Summon! HI-Speedroid Kitedrake!” Hyper shouted before stopping to catch his breath. “Now Kitedrake’s effect activates allowing me to destroy all monsters on your side of the field.” Hyper chuckled a massive smile across his face.

“I activate Teardrop the Rikka Queen’s effect, by detaching one overlay unit I can tribute one monster on the field.” Juniper would say in a calm tone.

“Not so fast I’ll chain Infinite Impermanence to negate the effect.” Hyper would say to the dismay of Juniper. “Let’s get in there, Kitedrake finish this off with a Heavy Hurricane!” Hyper would shout as the dragon curled around Juniper moving faster and faster till a tornado appeared around her blowing her to the ground.

End of Duel
Hyper Cross: 5800
Juniper Lily: 0

“Alright, both of you have shown your strengths, and weaknesses. I'll join the team on one condition.” I would say looking at the principles.

“Perfect you six will make the first duel team for Canterlot High!” Celestia would ignore me again.

“Wait six?” I would ask as three familiar faces walked around the corner as if on cue from the two sisters.

“Yo Starshot what’s up!” Dash would say with both Sunset, and Twilight standing next to her in her normal shy posture.

“God damn it.” I mumbled as the girls ran up to him, almost tackling him.

Chapter 6: Stolen Friends

“Kicking it off strong, Regal Rainbow strikes big with a 5800 LP lead in only the first turn!” the announcer shouts I watch the video on the TV. normally I would be there to watch these duels in person.

“Hey Star, have you seen Rainbow?” Bow asked as he walked in on me studying the video.

“She said she was going out with some friends.” I tell Bow as he walks out of the room.

“And that is victory number 99 for the Regal Rainbow! Tune in next week to see her 100th match.” The announcer says before the video ends.

“Well guess I missed it. Better head off to bed before.” I thought before a knock on the door was heard. “Just my luck.” I say as I look out the window to see a disappearing rainbow.

“STARSHOT OPEN THE DOOR!” Rainbow says as I walk over to the door, and open it again. “Can you believe it 99 wins ahh she is so cool I wonder if I will ever get to be that strong of a duelist.” She said it was almost too fast for me to pick up.

“Calm down Rainbow before you blow a fuse.” Infinity said as he flew out of his card.

“He is right, who knows what level of energy it could take for you to explode.” I say sarcastically to Infinity’s horror.

“W-Wait people can explode due to a surplus of energy? Glad that didn’t happen to you, Starshot or else we would be out of a job.” Infinity says to a roll of my eyes.

“Alright that’s enough out of you we gotta get some sleep. Tomorrow is the field trip that you have been hyping up for days.” I say as I spin her around, and push her out the door getting ready to close it before she slips past me.

“Nice try but we still have a lot to go over.” She said sitting down on the couch I was using as a bed.

“Like what talking about how you and your friends can grow ears and stuff no thanks I’m good.” I said walking over to the couch and sitting down on the other side of it.

“No, I mean what happened that day with Twilight.” She started before I cut her off.

“So what about the science geek anytime I talk to her she ends up bringing my dad into the picture somehow.” I say holding a card in my hand spinning it around trying to perform a magic trick to get my mind off the conversation.

“No, I want to bring up that she is sorry.” Rainbow started before I cut her off again.

“Oh I know I just don’t feel like accepting her apology right now. Still kinda letting the realization of the fact my father exists hit me ya know? Once that's done I’ll make it up to her” I say before starting to doze off.

“Sure whatever dude.” I heard as I truly drifted away into a deep sleep.

The next day I wake up to a surprise of Soul in my bed not being the little rat like he normally is. “The hell are you doing?” I ask the little Oviraptor pops up.

“Oh hey boss, so you know how the shaddolls share the deck with us. Yeah they got a bit loud last night so I came out here to rest. I hope you don't mind.” He said as he vanished back into the deck leaving small char marks on the couch.

As the raptor vanished the door slammed open as Rainbow burst into the room. “Star you are not going to believe what’s coming up!” She said as I looked over at the clock and read the date that read sunday so it couldn't be school related. “We have our first match against Crystal Prep next month!” She said as I let out a sigh.

“So back to those uptown pricks again.” I say remembering the last time we had a duel with them and the shadow duel.

“Hey at least their star player is on our side.” Rainbow says as she moves out of the doorframe and into the room.

“Doesn’t help when their star almost killed me.” I say with a scowl as I put my hand on her head and mess up her hair.

“HEY at least she said sorry.” She said as she started to move away from me and out of the room. “Look, just get dressed so we can get some training in.” She says throwing me a pair of clothes that had the school’s logo on it.

“Why did you throw these at me? I brought my own clothes, you know.” I said as she just stared at me.

“Because today’s training was set up by the whole Duel team so you are going in school clothes like the team agreed to.” She said as I let out a sigh.

“So you guys planned a group outing, didn't tell me, then tell me to go with you?” I say as I stand up the white shirt and blue shorts to my side.

“Yep. now get dressed cause they are on the way.” Rainbow said as she walked off.

After getting changed into my normal clothes of some jeans, leather jacket, and the school shirt I step out into the hallway to try and sneak out of the house before the others could see me.

“Yo Starshot!” I hear as Hyper cross comes out of nowhere on his skateboard. “Good to see you hyped for this hang out sesh!” He said as he grabbed his board off the floor.

“Yep hyped.” I said as Juniper and Sunset arrived. “Funny how Rainbow rushes me out of bed and is this slow to leave the house.” I think to myself as we see Twilight walking up the hill.

“So STarshot guy to guy tell me how did you get to spend a night in a girls house? Let alone her parents being home.” He asked quietly as he could, which was still heard by the rest of the group.

“To put it simply, I just don’t be creepy and don't need anything other than a place to stay. Not overthinking something about other people helps too.” I say patting Hyper on the shoulder.

“Alright now that we are all here, let's hit the mall!” Rainbow said, bursting out the door with a piece of toast and jam.

“Wait before we go. Did you spend all that time burning toast?” Sunset asked as Rainbow tried to ignore the topic as she normally does.

Walking to the mall was a bore and if anything took way longer because of the countless other stores in town that the Girls wanted to look at, the skating store that caught Hyper’s attention, and even the video game store me and Rainbow decided to hit up before we made it to the mall. Though through it all something felt off. When we walked here I kept feeling like we were being followed, not from this side at least but the spirit world side.

“Hey Rainbow, let's go check out the store over there.” I said as I grabbed her wrist and pulled her along with me to the next shop.

“Star what’s going on?” She asked as I got to an employee-only hallway and hid in it with her.

“I’m just going to confirm something so give me a second.” I said pulling out a card and summoning one of my cards.

“Hello Boss, what do you need this time?” the Blue raptor said as he came out of the card.

“Hey Ovi I need you to search around the area in the spirit world and look for anything that might be following us.” I said as the Oviraptor nodded and let out a roar that couldn’t be heard by human ears.

“I got a lock on 3 spirits that are part of our group.” He said as his fire changed from blue to red.

“Thanks Ovi, go back to your card and rest.” I tell the raptor as I pat him on the head.

“Star, are you going to tell me what’s going on?” Rainbow said, snapping me back into reality.

“We are definitely being followed.” I say as my hair turns color in front of her and the area around us changes into a purple haze as a swamp forms around where we stood.

“Starshot wai-” Sunset started to say before me and Rainbow vanished into the spirit world.

“Ok for the last time what is even going on Star you have been acting crazy.” Rainbow said before a mesmerizing song came overhead.

“Look if I knew what was going on I would tell you, but if we are being stalked from this side then they must not want me seeing them.” I said as the song got louder and the tune became more audible.

“Look at them arguing amongst each other.” One voice said as others started laughing.

“Starshot If someone was following us here, why did you bring us here?” Rainbow asked as I turned around to face the voices.

“Wait, why did I bring us here?” I thought to myself as I tried to reason with my memories from the second we entered the mall. “I didn’t bring us here willingly? No, that doesn’t make sense. If I didn’t mean to come here, why would I have brought Rainbow here?” I think as my memories start to clash with each other.

“Having a little crisis down there?’ The orange haired girl said as Rainbow looked up at the three with a face of annoyance and anger.

“I thought we banished you guys!” Rainbow said before connecting the dots. “You guys brainwashed him to bring us here!” She shouted as her deck started to be fueled by her emotion, and started to manifest monsters.

“Rainbow calm down, let's just get out of here.” I say as I try to warp back to the real world to no avail.

“Sorry my guy but no cross world travel works to get out when we are around.” The blue one said as I tried to push through the barrier only to just get denied again.

“The only way you will get out of here is simple duel us and the loser is stuck here forever.” the purple one said as I looked at all three of them.

“What do you want us to do to duel at disadvantage?” I say pointing out the difference in numbers. “Plus if you only duel two of us only two get to leave.”

“Fine, you can bring one more person, but make it quick.” the orange one said as the barrier weakened and I was able to leave.

“T.” I could hear as Sunset ran up to me due to the time difference in the two worlds. “Starshot, where did you go?”

“No time to talk, just come on.” I say grabbing Sunset’s shoulder and warping back to the other side.

Once we arrived the three girls had already set up an arena for the six of us to duel in. “Ah perfect Sunset Shimmer.” one of the girls said as Sunset looked up at them.

“Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk, what are you three doing here?” Sunset asked as the three girls started to cackle.

“Simple, we want our freedom from this wretched place!” they said as they put their decks in battle position along with the three of us.

“FIne if that’s how it is then guess there is no reason to argue.” Sunset said as she looked over at Rainbow giving her a nod.

“DUEL!” We all say as the field flares to life and we become covered in a musical stadium.

Adagio Dazzle: 8000LP
Sunset Shimmer: 8000LP
Aria Blaze: 8000LP
Rainbow Dash: 8000LP
Sonata Dusk: 8000LP
Starshot: 8000LP

“I’ll go first and summon Soprano the Melodious Songstress in the attack position then I’ll special summon Sonata the Melodious Diva in the attack position as well. That’s all for my turn so I’ll place a face down then end my turn” Adagio says as the two monsters fly out onto the field.

“Well some things never change huh Adagio. My turn I draw! I play the spell Red-Eyes Insight sending Red-Eyes Black Dragon to the graveyard and grabbing Red-Eyes fusion from my deck. Now to activate this fusion spell of mine I can send two monsters from the deck to the grave as fusion material. I'll send Red-Eyes Black Flare Metal dragon to the grave along with Gearfried the Red-Eyes Iron Knight to fusion summon! Dragon clad in armor built to shred those that come near it into pieces rise and rip the competition apart! Rise Red-Eyes Slash Dragon!” Sunset called as the monster rose out of the ground, the metal clanking on its wings as it took off. “With that I end my turn.”

“Guess that means I’m up. I draw. I’ll start with Predapractice to add Predaprime Fusion to my hand. I’ll go ahead and activate Predaprime Fusion, sending Predaplant Squid Drosera and Byblisp to the grave to fusion summon. I summon Predaplant Ambulomelides in defense position,” Aria said at the lizard like plant came out of the ground in bloom “next up I summon Predaplant Spinodionaea in attack and target the predator counter on Slash Dragon'' As she said the a venus fly trap came out of the ground digging it’s way out to reveal the spinosaurus body hidden in the ground. “WIth that I’ll end my turn.”

“Finally It’s my turn draw!” Rainbow said as her face lit up from the boredom that she was experiencing before. “I’ll start with a foolish burial, sending one monster to the grave. Now I play Photon Sanctuary allowing me to get two photon tokens onto the field. Next I'll summon Galaxy Summoner in the attack position, and with doing so her effect activates, this allows me to summon one monster from my grave so come out Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!” As she called for her flagship monster it flew down from the stars to meet her and gave a small smile before turning to the opposing side of the field. “With that done I’ll create the overlay network by overlaying my two level four Photon tokens. Now descended from the stars rank four, Starliege Photon Blast Dragon! And with the arrival I’ll get to summon from my hand one Photon monster now show yourself once more Galaxy-Eyes!” She called once more as I saw that it was starting to get to her head. “Once more I’m making the overlay network though this time I'm using my two Galaxy-Eyes to summon a monster in defense mode. The Lord of atoms descends upon us with the wrath of a supernova, and with the force of a neutron star, blows my opposition away! Rise Number 90: Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord! And with that I’ll end my turn.”

“Guess I’ll draw! I’ll start by setting the pendulum scale by using scale eight Pendulum Witch and scale one Performapal Ladyange. Now swing my pendulum! Swing endlessly to the beat of victory! I Pendulum summon Dragoncaller Magician and Xianggsheng Magician! Sadly that is all I can do so I’ll place a card face down and end my turn.” Sonata said as her Magicians gave a wave to her.

“Cool I draw. I’ll start with summoning Cyber Dragon in the attack position. Next I’ll play Cyber Dragon Core in attack allowing me to activate its effect to add a Cyber spell to my hand. Now with these two monsters and the polymerization spell in my hand I Fusion summon.” I say as my white hair and clothes started to blow in the wind. “Cyber Twin Dragon emerge!” I call as the two headed dragon showed up out of a portal from The Workshop the place Cyber Dragons called home. “With that I end my turn.”

Adagio Dazzle: 8000LP
Sunset Shimmer: 8000LP
Aria Blaze: 8000LP
Rainbow Dash: 8000LP
Sonata Dusk: 8000LP
Starshot: 8000LP

“Then I’ll draw.” Adagio said before giving a grin looking at me. “Hey Starshot have you ever wondered about that form of yours?” She asked before giggling and continuing her turn. “I use polymerization to fuse my two Melodious monsters int Schuberta the Melodious Maestra! Now for a play you might not have seen before I play the spell De-Fusion on Starshot!” As she said this the confusion on both Rainbow and Sunset’s faces grew as did mine before the spell had made contact with me.

As I watched, the feeling of losing something of mine became ever more present. That was until I noticed the White of my outfit starting to turn back into black my hair doing the same. “The hell?” I said twice as another body was splitting from mine with the WHite hair and outfit I was just sporting. “What did you just do to me?!” I asked as both bodies looked up at the girls as they split apart into two fully formed beings.

“Simple I just split you into who you really were.” Adagio said as the new being formed a duel disk and took my deck I kept in my jacket from his own. “And it seems he is working just as the doc intended.” Adagio said as she gave a whistle and her and her sister’s monsters charged over two the new being.

“Personally I hate it when people jump into things they shouldn’t.” The copy said as around him the now fully formed Ultimate Conductor Tyranno stood proud against the attacks and destroyed the other monsters in one go. “So you are what we looked like?” The copy said as he flipped his whole body over and started flying.

“Starshot what is even going on?” Rainbow asked as I looked up at the copy.

“How the hell am I supposed to know?” I said as the copy started to laugh.

“Isn’t it simple Starshot? I. Am. You. In every quality Though trust me I only took the good ones.” The copy said before putting its hand to its chin. “I should have a name for myself. seeing as I am you but better how is Nova? Yes Nova Zero!” He said before looking at the three girls who knelt down at him.

“Nova your father would like to have a talk with you.” Adagio said as the other nodded before opening a portal.

“Well let’s give the old man a visit.” He said before zipping towards the portal. “Oh and Starshot thanks for the deck.” he said as I noticed the link I had to both the dinos and shaddolls were cut off.

“That fucking bastard!” I shouted as the four of them left through the portal, closing it behind them.

“Starshot look it’s over just get us out of here we can talk about it back at the mall.” Sunset said as I tried to open my own portal.

“I can’t.” I said as I tried to make one with only sparks appearing.

“You’re kidding. You brought me here for a duel that doesn’t even truly start and now you can’t take us back?” SUnset said.

“Look, it's not my fault. I had a feeling someone was calling me here, and they were.” I said as I kept trying to my composure. “And now we lost the one thing that I used to bring me here and it quite literally got up and walked away!” I said as the wall broke and all the bundled rage came out. “So unless you happen to have something that can get us the hell out of here then I suggest shutting up, and start thinking of ways to get out of here!” I shouted as Sunset stumbled backwards only to fall over and into the ground.

“Starshot!” Rainbow said as she held me back from swinging at Sunset. “What is wrong with you man?” She asked as I gave her a glare.

“Dash I have one thing to say to that.” I said as she hovered slightly off the ground. “If someone was to clip your wings and remove your magic how would you feel?” I asked as she pondered for a second.

“Look even if you are angry you can’t just take it out on Sunset.” She said as I turned to her.

“Look I wasn’t going to hit her, you can ask the Cyber…” I said as I noticed even the Cybers had fallen silent. “Infinity? Siger? End Dragon? Anyone?!” I thought as none of the metallic monsters responded to the call. Then it all set in everyone that had been there for me since I was five, the same dragons that supported me for twelve years. The dinos and shaddolls were a massive hit too but as they were more recent the feeling of losing them didn’t hurt as much. Finally through the grief of the loss I was able to make a portal back to the normal world in the back of a book shop, and in front of whom else but Twilight.

Duel 1: The One to Start it All

“I’m done here Starliege Paladynamo finish him off with Starlight Strike!” The girl shouted at the monster and attacked the man standing on the other side of the stadium. “That's the match!” she said as the stadium erupted into a furious roar of cheering.

“Ladies and Gents, would you look at that this duel makes Regal Rainbow’s total victory’s in a row to 98!” The announcer called out as me and my cards left the stadium.

“What a match!” I hear a female voice call out as I leave the stadium. “She was awesome!” Another says from the same group.

“Do we have to hear this T?” I say walking out of the stadium with the cards I had brought into the match.

“Yes, if we want to win we must watch.” The voice said as a cybernetic voice chimed over it.

“Keep in mind the more we wait here the longer it is.” The cybernetic said as yet another voice rang this one a whisper in my head sounding just out of reach.

“Let's get home and deck build. We have a big day in the friendship games in a week and we can't disappoint our peers.” the voice said from behind me.

“Look T, I, and C could you give me hints on what deck to use or should I enter both of them in?” I ask as the cards begin to walk behind me kinda like ghosts would follow a living soul.

“Start with them and have me as back up.” The large snake-like cybernetic dragon with a black body and red outline said as I walked around the corner and into the house as all 3 disappear to fit inside.

“Got it then Dino and Shaddoll it is thanks for the help Infinity.” I think to myself as I hear the call of a mad mother from behind me.

“Starshot I know you are not going to your room without dinner right!?” I hear her say as I'm about to close the door.

“Ooohhh busted!” I hear hundreds of voices call out to me from my tin.

I'm coming mother, please don't kill me!” I say as I bolt out of the room and into the dining room.

After eating dinner I get to work on deck building taking off the necklace I wear to hear my cards voice so I can be in peace, and after what feels like years I put the decks in a deck box and put my duel disk up for the night as I go to sleep. I wake up the next day realizing that I only have 6 days to get used to this deck. “After all nothing comes without a cost and this one is time.” I think to myself as I put my necklace back on and grab my 2 decks I have. Walking out of my room I pick up the duel disk and head to breakfast before realizing the time. Grabbing my bag to bolt to the bus before it's too late.

“Starshot you knucklehead you almost missed the bus again!” a light blue girl said getting on the bus as i rushed on to the bus.

“Yeah I know but you can blame me for that one Rainbow but hey I'm here.” I tell her as I sit down in an empty seat. “Didn't you say that you will introduce me to the other competitors for the friendship games?” I ask her as I shuffle my cards around in my deck.

“Oh yeah, I'll take you to them after school. but till then you need to teach me more than just XYZ summoning for the 2v2 tournament you said you would take me to if I learned.” she said looking at me with a sinister glare as if to say keep your word or else.

“So what do you want to learn or should I pick for you?” I tell her, giving her the same glare as she recoils a bit.

“How hostile you are to the poor girl.” a whisper says in my ear a whisper I know far too well.

“Construct shut up you have no emotions or extra thinking you are just a doll like you said.” I think in my mind as Cyber Dragon Infinity laughs flying in the sky as he almost hits a pole.

“No, I am very much alive at least I think I am.” construct said as her card began to glow a little bit.

After getting off the bus and having the most boring math class ever i go to dueling class where i don't ever duel anybody in the class because of the requirements to enter the class. To get in this class over the summer, you had to survive the teacher in a duel for 10 rounds and I was the only one to beat the teacher in the whole class. Well me and the girl who won out of luck of the summon of an instant win monster she cheated out of the deck. This girl was Rainbow Dash who insists she is the best in the school but there is a reason why I am in the games and she is not.

“Ok so i was thinking of teaching you how to Link summon, if thats ok.” I tell her as she starts to shuffle her cards.

“Sure, just let's start before we get the quiz on it.” She says with a chuckle in her voice.

“Ok well to Link summon you will need as many monsters as the card says like this Borrelsword Dragon see the bottom of the card and how it says Link-4 thats how many monsters have to be sent to the graveyard to summon it, but you can use monsters like Link monsters for Linking. Lets say I have a Link monster with a rating of 3 then I can use it to count for 3 monsters making a Link-4 only need a Link-3 and any monster to be summoned.” I explain to her as she starts to pick up on it little by little. This went on for a bit till the bell rang and I told her “Bye Rainbow I'll see you here after school.” rushing off to my next class.

After school I had waited outside our dueling class for about 9 minutes and eventually she had grabbed my arm and started to pull me in a direction shouting at me. “Come on, you are being so slow!”

“Well I'm not the one dragging someone to a club room!” I shout back as she stops in front of the door to the club and walks in telling me to stay in the hall as if she never told the other members I was coming.

“Ok, come in!” I hear Rainbow shout as I walk in to see all the other competitors are girls.

“So is this why you had to rush in here without me? You had to tell them so you aren’t teased about how you have a friend who is a guy right?” I say with a smile on my face as the rainbow tries to throw a punch at me for bringing anything like that up. “Whoa hold it, it was a joke!” I say as her punch connects with my shoulder.

“Well Starshot if you could show us what you could do against Rainbow because after the match we saw last night i'm looking to see another good fight!” The pink one says hopping up and down to barely meet me at eye level.

“Only if she is down to duel.” I tell her looking at Rainbow as she almost immediately says yes to try and get back at me for the joke earlier.

After walking outside with some stares from the other kids in the school we reached the soccer field, a spot with a lot of open land and a good view for the duel. As me and Rainbow link our duel disks for the battle I can hear the girls cheering on Rainbow before the duel has even started.

“You go first, your fans are waiting,'' I say, moving to the other side of the soccer field. My Hair started to turn a dark red slowly growing into a lighter red as the Rainbow announced her turn.

Turn 1
Rainbow Dash: 8000
Starshot: 8000

“I'll start by playing the spell Photon Sanctuary allowing me to summon 2 Photon Tokens, then I'll activate the effect of a card from my hand tributing both of these tokens to summon Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!” she shouts as from the sky a massive dragon flies down from the sky hitting the field with a screeching roar that the whole school hears as a result more people come to watch the duel. “I end my turn by setting 1 card.” she says as her side of the field shows one card in the spell/trap zone.

“My turn I draw!” I shout as I look at my hand seeing the play that I can make turn one. “I activate El Shaddoll Fusion by sending my Ultimate Conductor Tyranno and Shaddoll Beast to the graveyard. I can summon 1 Monster from the extra deck and I pick El Shaddoll Construct!” I say pointing to the sky as a doll on purple wires appears on the field looking lifeless. “I’ll activate 2 effects, first Shaddoll Beast that allows me to draw 1 card from my deck, then I'll play Monster Reborn! To bring my Tyranno from the grave to the field so rise Ultimate Conductor Tyranno!” I shout as a t-rex wearing black armor digs itself out of the ground and tours a challenge to the dragon across from it. “Don’t worry you can if you want my Ultimate Conductor Tyranno attacks with Ultimate Shockwave!” I shout as Rainbow activates her dragons effect.

“Photon Dragon, take it with you using Photon Charge!” She says as both monsters are banished.

“A fair play but you forgot about the Construct who will attack you directly, go Wooden Madin!” I shout as a wooden figure attacks Rainbow punching her right in the chest for 2800 LP. “I end my turn.” Right as I say that the 2 banished monsters come back to the field.

Turn 2
Rainbow Dash: 5200
Starshot: 8000

“Perfect my turn I Draw! I summon Photon Crusher in Attack Position!” she calls out as a green cyborg appears on the field holding a metal rod in its hands. “I activate Galaxy Expedition to summon another Photon Dragon from my deck. Then I'll use my 2 Photon Dragons to create the Overlay Network! Descend from the stars Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon!” she called as the two monsters she used for the summon became orbs and a black blur faster than light in the shape of a dragon appeared and took a stance on the field “now attack his Construct with Tachyon Burst!” She called out as I laughed.

“Construct’s effect activates. Allowing it to send any monster that is special summoned and attacks it to the graveyard.” I say as my hair starts to dim down back to its black. “Also let's call the duel off now before something gets realized and this was just to show off our decks.” I say as I look at the crowd that had formed in the stadium.

“Too late for that but I'm going to end my turn with a face down.” Rainbow says knowing what she has gotten into.

“Fine by me I draw and summon from my hand Miscellaneousaurus!” I say as a dinosaur with a body of bones appears on the field, and my hair goes back to its bright red. “Go Construct and attack her Photon Crusher!” i shout as Construct turns her monster into wood and shatters it, having the splinters hit her for 800 LP. “Now dinosaurs attack her and end the duel!” I shout as both dinos charge at her biting her left and right arm dealing the remaining life points in damage “Duel over guys you can leave!” I shout as my monsters walk back to me nodding their heads than vanishing into thin air.

End of Duel
Rainbow Dash: 0
Starshot: 8000

“Wow, Starshot still as good as always!” Rainbow said, almost collapsing from the excitement she had in the duel even though she had lost.

“You are getting better day by day Rainbow but I doubt you could beat me in a duel.” I say with a laugh as the crowd clears out I see the other club members walk up to us as I’m rewatching the duel on my duel disk and Rainbow has already gotten to them. “Hey I never got you guys' names.” I say finishing the duel looking for something in the replay.

“First off you are going to explain how you can use magic like that!” The orange one with red and yellow hair said walking up to me looking both ready to fight and worried at the same time.

“Magic, what do you mean it was a hologram like in the real stadium.” I tell her trying to deflect the question as best I can.

“Whatever I’m Sunset Shimmer then in order is Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Flutershy.” Sunset says as the others just stare at her in confusion.

“I think she is onto you!” Infinity says as the girls look up at him now seeing the massive dragon as he coils around the group.

“What is that!” I hear Rainbow say as I turn to see the dragon for myself as I just look him dead in the eyes as if he has done this before.

“Cyber! Chibi or back in your card!” I yell at him as he turns into a smaller snake like dragon making a mechanical noise as he does so.

“Why do you have to be the worst? I just want to have fun!” Infinity says as he flaps his wings to be at our height till he coils around me.

“How did he do that!?” Sunset says as she stares at me.

“So I lied, I can bring cards to life if I want but recently they have found out how to escape the cards and sometimes that leads to problems but most just go back in after a minute or two.” I say as Infinity pops up.

“And some of us like being out here!” He adds in. “you can tell us to stay hidden all day just till you can duel then we get put up at night!” he says as i just stand there waiting for him to finish.

“So when are you going to teach me that!” Rainbow says as she grabs the dragon from my shoulder.

“Never unless you can use magic but that is highly unlikely.” I say thinking about how I got my magic. “Though as Sunset could sense magic maybe I could teach her though.” i say being able to move now that i don't have extra weight on me.

“Well I would still like to know how you got your magic, are you from equestria!” she says growing ears and a tail.

“No, I was in a coma when I was 8 and when I was in the coma here I was awake in a world of monsters from yugioh or duel spirits they call themselves, and when I woke up I could see and transport things in them to the other one world. like Infinity and the rest of my friends in my decks.” I say as Infinity calls out and his younger brother pops out of his card to try and save him from suffocating in the horde of affection

“Oh well but if you do something wrong they will do something about it.” Sunset said, pointing at the other girls as her ears and tail vanished without her even knowing.

“Brother Help!” Infinity shouts as his brother Cyber Dragon Siger is also caught in the horde.

“Brother why are they like this? We must flee, I mean a tactical retreat!” Siger shouted as he vanished.

“Brother you coward!” Infinity says as he sees the full size Siger slithers away in the spirit world and vanishes to chase after him.

“Good they are gone.” I say as my hair changes back to black like normal and closes the gate between worlds. “I should get going, it's almost dark.” I tell Sunset as I run off hoping I did not set anything off in her head. As I ran I could see Infinity on a Rampage trying to find his brother after leaving him.

“SIGER COME HERE BEFORE I BLOW THIS WHOLE WORLD AWAY!” He shouts as he starts to charge an attack in his mouth.

“Boys will be boys I guess.” I say as I walk inside and go straight to sleep thinking about what might happen in the friendship games.
