DUEL MONSTERS.

For many years it has been the game everyone played, if you didn't own a deck you were nothing. Monsters, Spells and Trap Cards where the greatest weapon.

YUGIOH EQG!

In the city of Canterlot we find a teenage boy walking the streets. He had blue hair and wore a black leather jacket over a white shirt, which had a blue shield and lightning bolt emblazoned on it. His name was Flash Sentry.

He was walking through the park on his way to school when he heard a loud crashing sound, which caught his attention but relaxed when he saw a couple of kids in a Duel. "I'm using my Super Conductor Tyrano to attack your Fire Princess!" a young boy said, as his robotic dinosaur charged at a woman in red carrying a staff.

"I use my Trap," the girl he was Duelling against said as a card flipped up, "Negate Attack"

Flash looked away from the Duel and once again walked off, he had no interest in Dueling. He had once when he was younger, but he turned out to be terrible at the game and lost so many times that he just gave up and had even thrown his deck away.

Flash arrived at his school, Canterlot High, and walked inside. He reached his locker and opened it up to grab his books, but something was sitting on top of them...a deck. "What the" he said taking the deck and looking it over, "this isn't mine."

Later on in class Flash sat at the back of the room half-heartedly listening to the teacher speak. "Write me an essay about your future goals before the end of class, three pages for now" the scribbling of pen to paper filled the classroom as the students wrote.

Flash sighed and began writing.

An hour later the bell rang signalling the end of class. Flash began to collect his things, when he suddenly felt someone standing beside him. Looking around he saw a violet skinned girl with purple hair, wearing a blue blouse and purple skirt. "Hey." she said smiling. "The teacher asked me to collect the essays." To emphasise her point, she held up the stack of papers she was carrying.

Flash just looked back down at his desk as he picked up his essay and placed it on top of the pile, before walking to the door. "Thanks" the girl said.

"Yeah sure, whatever" Flash replied leaving.

The girl, whose name was Twilight, glanced down at his essay wondering what he had written and had to take a second look when she saw the title.

Independence

During lunch Flash sat in a shady area eating the last of his lunch when he suddenly heard something above him. "Don't do it." He looked up just in time to see something falling towards him, and threw his hands up in defense until the thing landed on him. Opening his eyes, he found he was covered in Duel Monster cards.

"These things again." he said taking a card off his head and looking at it, the card's name was Gilford the Legend. He quickly gathered them all up into a deck, and when he was finished he heard.

"You found them." Flash turned around and saw two guys, possibly his age, standing not too far off. Behind them was a younger boy looking worried. "Our cards seem to have slipped out the window." one of the older boys said with a smirk.

"And they're special to us," the other guy said, "why don't you give them back."

"No!" the younger boy said trying to step forward. "Their-" he stopped as one of the older boys turned around and let out and angry growl at him.

Flash frowned seeing this, "I see what's going on." He said as he stood up and walked forwards a few feet, doing so brought him into the light revealing his face.

The two older boys suddenly lost all their confidence, as they saw who it was. "Flash Sentry." One of them whispered in fright as the stepped back.

Flash walked towards them, his face hardened. As he got closer the two held up their arms as if preparing for a beating, but no blows came. "Here you go." They opened their eyes and Flash wasn't in sight, so they turned and saw Flash had walked passed them and handed the younger boy the deck.

The boy held out his shaky hands as Flash placed the cards in his grasp. The older guys frowned at this, but they returned to being scared when Flash looked around at them.

"You guys got a problem?" he asked viciously.

"Er, no sir." They both said shakily, obviously scared at what might happen to them.

Flash just turned and walked away, unaware that he was being watched. Up in one of the buildings Twilight, along with her close friends Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, had seen the whole thing.

"What's that boys name?" Twilight asked. She was new to Canterlot High and didn't know a lot of people’s names.

"That's Flash Sentry." the blonde haired girl named Applejack replied as she looked out the window.

"He doesn't really hang around anybody." Rainbow Dash, the rainbow haired girl, continued. "He's always been a loner."

"I heard a rumour," a girl with light pink hair said "that even some of the teachers are scared of him."

"Don't be silly Fluttershy." Rarity, the purple haired girl in designer clothes, replied. "I'm sure he just likes his space."

Pinkie Pie, a girl with dark pink hair, nodded, "I bet all he needs is a party to turn that frown upside down."

"So he doesn't hang out with anyone?" Twilight asked.

"Not that we've seen." Rainbow replied.

Twilight continued to watch the boy walk away, feeling sad that someone was content at being so lonely.

Later after school had let out Flash was once again walking through the park. He looked down at the deck he had found earlier, wondering what he should do with it. Should he take it to the lost and found or something?

Suddenly he heard something, a loud cry of pain coming from not too far off. Moving before he could think, he ran towards the area but stopped in his tracks when he saw a trio of teens, one of them wearing a backpack with the emblem of Draco High. Below them laying on the ground was a younger boy of fourteen, with purple skin and green hair, his backpack showed the Canterlot Junior High emblem.

"Looks like you lost loser." the supposed leader said. He had red skin, orange hair and wore a dark red hoodie.

"You were an idiot to challenge the Great Garble." one of the teens said.

"I didn't challenge him," the boy said, "you guys made me."

"Whatever," Garble said "you lost so hand over your deck."

"I didn't agree to that." the kid said.

"Well too bad." Garble said as he grabbed him by his purple jacket and lifted him up. "Weaklings don't get a say." He grabbed the boy's left arm, and pulled off a purple device, before throwing him to the floor.

"Knock it off!" They all turned to see Flash walk out. "Just because you’re bigger that doesn't give you right to pick on someone."

"This doesn't concern you." Garble said.

"It does when your ganging up on a defenceless kid." Flash replied. "Grow a backbone and pick on someone your own size."

"Like say...you?" Garble said.

"You wanna go?" Flash asked.

Garble would have said yes, but then he noticed Flash was holding a deck of cards and smiled. "Tell you what," he said "why don't we settle this like Duellists?"

Flash wondered what he meant until he noticed Garble had a crimson Duel Disk on his arm, which he activated forming an orange energy blade. "You win and I'll hand back the deck, but if I win I get his deck and yours. Deal?"

Flash looked down at the deck in his hand and then back up at Garble. He didn't feel right betting something that wasn't even his.

"What's the matter?" Garble asked. "Chicken?" He and his buddies suddenly laughed and began making clucking noises.

"Fine then." Flash said before realising what it was he was saying. "You’re on."

"Great." Garble said tossing him the purple Duel Disk. "Let's get this started."

Flash affixed the device to his arm and placed the deck in the slot, a green energy blade forming. "Hey," he turned back to see the kid standing near him, "you don't have to do this for me."

"It's fine." Flash replied. "Bullies like him need to be put in his place."

"Okay." the boy said. "I'm Spike by the way."

"Flash." the teen said back.

Meanwhile Twilight and her friends were walking through the park. Suddenly Rainbow Dash's phone began beeping. “What's that Rainbow?" Twilight asked.

"My Duel app." Rainbow replied. "It goes off whenever it detects an active Duel Disk."

"Cool." Applejack said looking around. "Might be a good one, let's check it out." They followed the app and looked around for any signs of a Duel until they heard.

"Twilight!" They spun around and saw Twilight's little brother Spike standing not too far off, behind some trees.

"Spike," Twilight said, "what are you doing here?" But she soon realised why, when she saw Flash and Garble facing off.

"Looks like we found our Duel." Applejack said.

"Weird." Rainbow Dash said. "I don't think I've ever seen him Duel."

Flash and Garble's Duel Disks connected and showed their life points, as they drew their cards.

"DUEL!" they both yelled.

Flash: 4000
Garble: 4000

"I'll start off," Garble said drawing a card. "I summon Autorokket Dragon in ATK mode," a red dragon in the shape of a missile came to the field (A1600/D1000/L3). "I'll also throw down two face downs."

"It's my turn," Flash said. "I draw." Flash looked at his hand. Three of his cards are blank. How can he tell what they are? "I summon Cybernetic Lancer," a robotic knight came to the field with lances in place of hands. (A1700/D0/L4). "I'll attack." The robotic knight charged forward and slashed the missile-like dragon.

Flash: 4000
Garble: 3900

"How'd you like that?" Flash said.

"Idiot," Garble said as he pressed a button on his Duel Disk and one of his face downs flipped up, "you activated my Trap Card. It's called Dragon's Revenge. This card allows me to summon a Level 4 or lower Dragon monster from my Graveyard," the missile-like dragon returned to the field (A1600/D1000/L3). "What's more, you take 100 damage equal to its Level."

Flash: 3700
Garble: 3900

"Next, I activate my face down, Dragon's Pride. Now I have to look at the top five cards of my deck, and if I find any Dragon monsters, I can Special Summon the highest Leveled of them." He looked at the top cards of his Deck. "I Special Summon Armed Dragon LV3." A yellow armored dragon appeared on the field (A1200/D900/L3).

"Oh great. Not only am I behind, but now he has two monsters. I place one card face down and end my turn," Flash said.

"I draw," Garble said. "I now activate the effect of "Armed Dragon LV3"." His yellow dragon disappeared. "During my Standby Phase, if I sacrifice my Armed Dragon LV3, I can summon its evolved form. Armed Dragon LV5." A bigger red version of Armed Dragon LV3 appeared (A2400/D1700/L5). "Next I activate my dragon's effect to send one monster from my hand to the Graveyard and destroy one monster you control. I send Exploderokket Dragon and destroy your Cybernetic Lancer." The spikes on Armed Dragon LV5 fired, impacting Flash's robotic knight as it was destroyed. "Now my monsters are ready to end this." Garble's monsters charged at Flash, but Flash has his face down.

"I activate my face down. Negate Attack. Now the battle phase ends," Flash said.

"Dang it. I end my turn." Garble said.

"It's my turn. I draw," Flash said. His cards are still blank, so there's only one thing to do. "I summon Light Dragon Mythias." a white dragon appeared with two sets of wings. (A1800/D0/L4) "Check this out. This one gains 100 ATK for every LIGHT monster in my Graveyard." (A1900/D0/L4). "Attack Autorokket Dragon." The dragon fired a yellow beam at the missile-like Dragon, destroying it.

Flash 3700
Garble: 3600

"I end my turn," Flash said.

"It's my turn. I draw." Garble said. He frowned at what he drew. It wasn't a monster. "Oh well. At least my monster's stronger. Attack." Armed Dragon LV5 spun its arms around as it charged at Mythias, destroying her.

Flash: 3200
Garble: 3600

"I end my turn. Since Armed Dragon LV5 destroyed a monster this turn, its effect now activates," Garble said as Armed Dragon LV5 disappeared. "Now I can summon its evolved form once again. Armed Dragon LV7." A bigger, deadlier version of Armed Dragon LV5 appeared. This one had more spikes along with longer arms and a longer neck. (A2800/D1000/L7).

"Oh crap." Flash said.

"Oh crap is right. That thing could tear Flash's monsters to shred." Twilight said.

"It's my turn. I draw," Flash said. "There's nothing I can do. I end my turn."

"It's my turn. I draw," Garble said. He looked at his card and smiled as well as laughed. "Here comes your demise, Flash. I sacrifice Armed Dragon LV7 to summon its evolved form," Armed Dragon LV7 disappeared. "Arise, Armed Dragon LV10." A humanoid version of Armed Dragon LV7 appeared as it roared. (A3000/D2000/L10).

Flash looked up at the scary monster in shock. "Holy crap. It's huge," Flash said. "How can I beat that?"

"Looks like this monster marks the end for you," Garble said. "Armed Dragon LV10, attack him directly." The dragon raised its arm as a ball of dark energy appeared in its hand and it threw the ball at Flash, detonating upon impact as it knocked Flash back.

Flash: 200
Garble: 3600

"I now end my turn," Garble said. "Get up, moron. It's your turn."

But Flash just laid there. How was he gonna win now? He looked at his hand and besides the blank cards he also had two monsters which weren't strong enough to beat Dark Rogue Dragon.

"This is why I hate Duelling," Flash said, "no matter what I always end up on my back and humiliated." He should just quit now since he had already lost.

"Don't give up."

Flash turned to see the girl he had talked to in class earlier.

"You still have one turn, one draw that could change everything." she told him.

"But what can one card do?" Flash asked as he sat up.

"If you believe in your deck then one card can do anything." she replied.

"Believe." Flash said looking down at the deck he had found. Could it be that the reason he was losing right now was because he didn't believe in it, because he thought of them as someone else's cards? But maybe that wasn't right. Maybe he hadn't found them, but had been given them. "One draw." He shakily got up and placed his hand on the deck and closed his eyes. "I believe that one draw is all I need." If his eyes were open he'd have seen his deck was glowing, "I...DRAW!" He drew his card and opened his eyes, seeing the glow he looked at the card and saw it was another blank card...but then.

The four cards glowed as his Extra Deck glowed as well. The case opened up and a card flew out of it, revealing another blank card, but then the blank cards start to reveal themselves as monsters and the blank card that flew out from his Extra Deck revealed itself to be a monster whose bottom was blue like a Ritual Monster but had texture on it.

"I now summon Magna Dragon Raider" a small white dragon with an orb in its hands appeared. (A300/D200/L1). "When it's summoned, I can Special Summon another LIGHT monster from my hand. I summon Magna Dragon Fighter." A dragon with boxing gloves on its claws appeared. (A1500/D1200/L4) "Next I activate the Spell Card Bringer of the Light. Since I have two LIGHT monsters on my field, I can summon a LIGHT monster from my Graveyard. Come back Cybernetic Lancer." (A1700/D0/L4).

"What are those wimps supposed to do against my Armed Dragon LV10." Garble said.

"It's not what they're gonna do to your monster, but this one will," Flash said. That made Garble scared. "I now create the ultimate circuit." A board with arrows appeared.

"What's going on?" They all said.

"The summoning conditions require at least two LIGHT monsters. I set Magna Dragon Raider, Magna Dragon Fighter and Cybernetic Lancer into the arrows." All three monsters are sucked up into tornadoes as they were placed into the arrows as the arrows turned on. "I LINK SUMMON."

A twenty foot high silver robotic humanoid creature, with light blue armour and orange trim on its arms, legs, chest and shoulders appeared. From its shoulders were a pair of square jet booster like wings, and it wore a red scarf which was emblazoned with the same symbol as the one on Flash's shirt. "MAGNA FLASH DRAGON." (A2500/LINK-3/Top, Bottom-Left, Bottom Right)

"Woah," everyone else but Garble said in amazement.

"Impressive, but your monster's weaker than mine," Garble said.

"You may say that, but you've forgotten about this," Flash said. "My monster has a special ability. It gains 500 ATK for every monster used for its Link Summon." (A4000/LINK-3/Top, Bottom-Left, Bottom Right)

"Oh crap," Garble said. "And I forgot to place any face downs last turn."

"That's right," Flash said. "Magna Flash Dragon, attack Armed Dragon LV10." Flash Magna Dragon's booster came to life as Flash Magna Dragon flew towards Armed Dragon LV10, sucker punching it into destruction.

Flash: 200
Garble: 2600

"My monster may be gone," Garble said. "But I still have Life Points."

"That's where you're wrong," Flash said. "When Flash Magna Dragon destroys a monster in battle, you take damage equal to the destroyed monster's ATK."

"What?" Garble said.

Flash Magna Dragon turned around as its boosters were still on, blasting Garble.

Flash: 200 (winner)
Garble: 0

"That was…" Rarity was lost for words, but luckily Spike had the right one.

"AWESOME!"

"I've never seen someone come from behind like that." Applejack said.

"Me neither." Rainbow Dash agreed.

Flash removed his deck from the Duel Disk and looked at the cards he had used, but the one he couldn't look away from was the one that shared his name. He was so focused on it that he didn't notice Garble had gotten up and was now charging at him, fists raised, ready to attack. Luckily Twilight did notice "LOOK OUT!"

Flash looked around and then moved in an instant, spinning away from the punch while grabbing his opponent's shirt and flinging him around and into the air. Garble flew several feet before crashing into the ground and rolling to a stop.

"As agreed," Garble looked up and saw Flash holding up a deck of cards, "I'll be taking these." Garble check the pocket he had put the cards in and found it empty. Somehow Flash had gotten the deck back while flipping him over.

Quickly getting up he stared at Flash with hate in his eyes, before running off. "You haven't heard the last of me." And with that he and his cronies were gone.

Flash turned back to the group and walked over, standing in front of Spike. For an instant, the girls wondered what was going on, before they saw Flash hold the Duel Disk and deck to him. "Here kid."

"Thanks." Spike said taking the them and holding them close.

"Wait," Twilight said, "what was that guy doing with your deck?"

"He forced me into a Duel," Spike explained, "and when he won he took them."

"Wait, so Flash was Duelling to get them back?" Twilight asked.

"And he put his own cards on the line." Spike said.

Everyone looked at Flash, who was now walking off, and felt very confused. He seemed like such a loner yet he helped someone he didn't even know with cards no one had ever seen before, just what was up with him?
