Equestria Girls Duel Monsters: Unleash the Seal

"The adoptive son of Maximillion Pegasus, Golden Rise, was seemingly kidnapped at the beginning of the grand opening of the Canterlot Duel Store. The sudden kidnapping and following disappearance caused mass panic in the area. But what caused even more panic was the sudden reappearance of a beaten and battered Gold. He was immediately rushed to the hospital for treatment. Now a week later, he is finally being released. This is Mic Drop, Canterlot News." Gold turns off the TV in the hospital room. Bandages cover his chest, and parts of his arms and legs. Gingerly putting on his normal clothes, he stand preparing to leave the hospital.

Outside, people cheer as Gold walks out to the limo nearby. People try to get his attention for autographs but security keeps them back, He finally makes it to the car and is driven off. The driver wears a relived smile at Gold's better state. "Nice to have you again Master Gold. Master Pegasus has purchased a place for you two to temporarily stay while you are in Canterlot. He also asked that he speaks with you once you are safe at home." Gold gives an exhausted nod as they drive to the new home. The place is right outside of town and is a huge home.

Gold walks into the grand house, and lays down on the couch in the massive living room. Pegasus walks in wearing a white button down and shorts. "Glad you are home, Goldy-boy. I'm sorry I was unable to visit you but the security believed I may have been attacked next and kept me under house arrest."

"It's fine. I have no idea who that even was."

"That was one of the Darkness Generals." The fiery knight appears in the living room from a ball of light. Gold jumps up but Pegasus stays calm.

"I see you made yourself known Solaris," said Pegasus.

"You know about him dad?"

Solaris steps forward. "While you were in the hospital, I had time to speak with your adoptive father. Gold... you are a Seal Guardian."

"What is a Seal Guardian?"

"They are people who have the same special power as me and my fellow warriors had. Long ago, in this very place, a grand battle between good and evil occurred. We fought against the darkness and its army for years and were barely able to push it back. Me and my fellow warriors made the decision to seal the darkness away until we could strengthen our own army. We sacrificed our bodies to create the seat, and our spirits were placed into statues within the monster world. Now the seal is cracking and we must gather the Seal Guardians, unlock my fellow warrior and destroy the ultimate evil once and for all."

Gold looked down at the deck box I his hands. "I... refuse."

Solaris was surprised. "Why do you refuse?"

"I lost to one of those general guys and ended up in the hospital. If you didn't save me, things more than likely would have been way worse. So... I refuse." Gold tosses his deck onto the table. "Find someone else to be the hero you need. I'm not one of them." Gold walked to his room.

Solaris stood in front of Gold. "But you are a destined hero."

"And this hero was defeated with ease and could have died. I'm not going to go through that again." Gold walks to his room and shuts himself inside. Solaris sighs and disappears.

Pegasus knocks on Gold's door. "I'm not agreeing to his deal, dad."

"Its not that. I wanted to talk to you about our time in this town."

Gold opens the door. "I guess we will be staying here for awhile."

"Yes. And I have enrolled you in a new high school for your final year, Canterlot High."

"Ok. That seems like a normal place. When do I start there?"

"You will start on Monday, so after the weekend."

"Ok, thanks dad. Now I just want to get some sleep."

"Of coarse, good night Gold."

"Night, dad." Gold closes the door once more and prepares to sleep.

Monday comes along sooner than expected and Gold awaits his new school life inside the main foyer of Canterlot High. "At least its quite in here. No big crowds swarming me."

"We figured you could use a break from the crowds." Gold turns to see the principal of the school, Principal Celestia. "Welcome to our school Gold. I am glad you can join us for your senior year."

"Thank you Principal Celestia." Gold gets a familiar feeling from seeing her but cant quite place it.

"We will have a student of ours show you around. Sunset Shimmer." A girls with orange skin, yellow and red hair, wearing a red shirt, black jacket and sunset styled skirt come up to us. "She will be showing you around today. Its her own way of paying for something that occurred not so long ago."

"Ok... well its nice to meet you Sunset."

"Nice to meet you too, Gold. I have heard a few things about you." Sunset seems nervous around Gold.

Principal Celestia claps her hands. "I will leave you two to go around the school. I hope you enjoy you time here Gold." Celestia goes off as Sunset takes Gold around to show him the different areas of the school. She shows him all the classroom, library, cafeteria, gym and even the duel fields.

"Your probably familiar with duel fields like these."

"Yeah... I know a lot about them. I helped build a few duel arenas when those were still being used."

"That's pretty cool...you are quite interesting." Sunset blushes.

"Thanks Sunset... and you really normal around me. Not like a crazy fan, or stalker, or stalker fan."

"Have you dealt with those a lot?"

"More than you would think." They both laugh at the absurd nature of Gold's fame. Sunset ends the tor back at the foyer. "Thanks for showing me around, your really good at this."

"I try my best."

"I should be off to my first class. It was nice meeting you Sunset."

"You too, Gold." She waves as Gold leaves, feeling a familiar sense from him that she cant quite get out of her mind.

Gold goes through his school day as normal as he can. But he feels stares at him everywhere he goes. Whispers of people talking about the accident, and some just fanning over him due to his fame. He makes it to the end of the day and finds an empty room to sit and relax in. He lays his head back and lets out a deep sigh. Gold reaches into his bag for his homework, when he feels a box in it. He pulls out the deck box he placed on the table back at home. Visions of the previous duel flash through his mind as he starts to shake. "Not again. I won't leave my dad all alone, just to possibly become, or die as, a hero." He gets up, walks towards the entrance and tosses the deck box in the trash.

A girl with rainbow hair sees this and grabs the deck box. "Hey buddy, your just going to throw away perfectly good Duel Monster cards."

"Keep them if you want, I don't have a use for them anymore." Gold walks out and follows the crowd of students to the nearby Sugar Cube Corner. He walks in and sees people chatting, eating sweets and generally just having a good time. Gold gets himself a milkshake and takes a seat at one of the empty booths. He sits there for awhile, scrolling through his phone, and actually being a normal person for once. Gold smiles to himself at his freedom from the supposed destiny.

A girl with pink hair and skin appears right next to Gold out of nowhere. "Hi there!"

Gold jumps and almost drops his shake. "Uh, hi."

"I'm Pinkie Pie! Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too. I'm Gold-d-d!" Pinkie shakes Gold's hand and causes his whole body to shake.

"I know about you. Your famous around here. I'm so glad you are ok. Me and my friends love to watch you duel!" Pinkie lets go of Gold. "Anyway, welcome to Sugar Cube Corner. I hope you enjoyed your time here. Wish I could stay but I need to meet up with my friends. But here..." Pinkie grabs Gold's phone and puts her number into it. "Hope to chat with you later!" She rushes off, causing the phone to spin around before stopping and laying flat.

"Interesting girl. Nice but interesting." Gold continues with his day, and starts walking back to his house. He walks past a duel park and sees the rainbow haired girl from earlier dueling against a girl with blonde hair and orange skin. He stops by to watch the duel in progress. He sees the monitor on the duel field display their names, Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Applejack attacks with her Amazoness Archer directly at Rainbow and wins the duel.

"Oh, come on. That's the second time."

"Just need to know how to use your cards correctly Rainbow." Applejack smiled.

"You say that now but I want one more duel. I'm going to try out this new deck I found." Rainbow Dash holds up the deck box Gold threw away. "Lets see who can really win when I show off something new." Dash replaces her deck with the new one, but that was a mistake. A giant clap of thunder rings out as dark smoke fills the duel field.

The smoke condenses into the figure of the Darkness General. He looks at Rainbow with a deep sneer. "So, that fool lost his cards and you decided to take them for yourself. Well now this makes it easier." He walks towards Dash. "Once those cards are gone, there will be nothing stopping us."

Gold can barely breath. His fear begins to overtake him as the one who almost killed him is now threatening someone who is not involved. He is anchored in place, but something is tugging him to stop this. "I can't... its going to end the same." "No, it won't. You must defeat this general." "There is no way. He is too powerful." "No. You are the powerful one." Gold slowly steps towards the duel field, driven by an unknown force.

Darkness General tries to grab Dash, but she jumps back. "Your not going to be doing anything. I don't know what kind of magic show this is but you are going down." She activated the duel disk.

"That was your first mistake." The general summons his duel disk.

"Let's duel!" The area becomes encased in a purple and blue hue.

Rainbow Dash
Life Points: 8000
Spirit: 100

Darkness General
Life Points: 8000
Spirit: 100

Gold continues to move forward and make his way through the crowd.

Rainbow got a confident smile. "I'll start things off. I summon out Phoenix of the Temple in attack mode."

Phoenix of the Temple
Att: Light
Level 3
When this monster is normal summoned, add a "Phoenix" monster from your deck to your hand.
Attack: 1200
Defense: 500

A stone phoenix statue appears on the field. "And now I get to add a Phoenix monster to my hand." One card comes out and Rainbow grabs it. "I'll set two cards face down and end my turn."

"Draw." The general draws his first card. "I will first summon out Dark Extractor."

Dark Extractor
Att: Dark
Level 4
Once per turn, target a Dark attribute monster either you or your opponent controls. That monster's attack points are reduced to zero. This monster gains attack points equal to the attack points lost. At the end of your turn, all attack points effected by this effect are returned to normal.

Attack: 500
Defense: 2000

Dark Extractor appears, causing Gold to stop in his tracks. One of the monsters that almost ended him, now appears like before. But the unknown energy pulls Gold further, moving him through the crowd.

"Then I activate Dark Rebellion. This spell card allows me to summon out a Dark attribute monster from my hand, whose level is the same as a monster I control. So I summon out my Dark Effigy."

Dark Effigy
Att: Dark
Level 4
If you Tribute Summon a Dark Normal monster, you can treat this monster as 2 tributes.
Attack: 1500
Defense: 0

A dark stone appears on the field, pillars or rock begin going in and out of it at random. "Now I will use Dark Extractor's effect to take the attack from Dark Effigy." Dark Extractor stabs its needle into the rock and draws out its color.

Attack: 2000

"Now my Extractor will attack your Phoenix." Dark Extractor attacks and destroys the stone phoenix.

Rainbow: 7200

"Then I activate the spell card Duo Attack, allowing my Extractor to attack again." Extractor attacks Rainbow directly. Its needle strikes Rainbow and a look of fear spreads across her face. "This is what you get for trying to be the hero."

Rainbow: 5200

Rainbow shakily stands up and readies to draw her card. Gold stops her from drawing, as he finally reached her. "Stop Dash... this is a duel I should have been in. Please, let me properly finish this guy." Rainbow sees the new determination in Gold's eyes. With a simple nod, she hands him the duel disk. "Thank you." Gold faces the general with a new found courage. "I'm going to do what I should have done before, and send you back to the shadows you came from."

'Well little hero... I will enjoy seeing your suffering one last time! HAHAHAHA!"
