Equestria Girls Duel Monsters: Unleash the Seal
Follow the Path: Unite the Guardians
Previous ChapterSunset, Fluttershy and Sirius made it to the hospital and found Gold sitting up in the bed with Dash, AJ. Pinkie and Rarity by him. Sunset walked up and placed a hand on Gold's shoulder. "How are you feeling?"
He smiles. "I feel good now. My injuries are all healed up, and I made some new friends. Not the best way to do it, but its something." Gold chuckle but then starts coughing.
Sirius walks forward and helps lean Gold forward. "Easy Gold, your still recovering."
"Thanks... uh..."
"Sirius Claw. Just a guy who helped out Fluttershy there."
"Seems like we both stuck our noses into a problem."
"Yeah, but mine was nothing like yours. Speaking of which... Sunset found something you may want to look at." Sirius nods over to Sunset as she presents the blank card. Gold takes it and it instantly changed to show a phoenix feather.
"It just changed? How?"
"That's not all." Sirius took the card and the symbol changed to the blue claw marks. "And after i touched this, I had this vision of a hall way."
"A hallway? Was there a statue in it?"
"There was... How did you know?"
"Because I had the same vision. When I reached out towards it, the statue shattered into a bright light."
"The same thing happened to me."
"Then... you may have unlocked the spirit of a guardian."
"Guardian?"
"Its a long story, but I made contact with this spirit that said there was an ancient battle. The heroes decided to seal away a great evil and seal their own spirits in statues. Now the darkness is starting to break through... so the guardian spirits are searching for people like us to help destroy the darkness once and for all."
"I would say your crazy... but I saw the videos of your duel. It was amazing but also looked terrifying."
Rainbow gave a nod. "I only faced that dark general for one turn and I was too terrified to even think. Gold had to step in and finish the duel for me."
"It was crazy!" Pinkie popped up next to Sirius. "There was this huge shadowy monster. It swung its scythe down like... CRASH! Then Gold summoned this bright light and this warrior came out, slicing the beast to pieces! It was so terrifying!" Pinkie had a huge smile.
"Seems like it." Sirius leans over to Fluttershy to whisper, "Why is she smiling?"
"She is just excited, no need to worry." Fluttershy gave a cute smile.
"I see. Anyway... what do you think Gold? It sounds like there maybe others like us."
"There maybe." Gold swung his feet off the bed and shakily got up. Sirius and Sunset helped him steady out. He gingerly walked over to the hospital desk and grabbed the deck box off of it, staring at the feather on it. "We need to be ready. If there are other guardians, there will be more dark beings looking to stop us." Gold slowly walked back to Sirius. "You need to be the most ready right now Sirius. I was gone after just a few days after I awakened Solaris. You need to be ready to make contact with your guardian spirit and the dangers that may come with it. Will you be prepared?"
"To be honest, I have no idea what any of this means. But if my actions can help save those I care about, then I am willing to face this darkness. I will help no matter what." Sirius shakes Gold's hand. As the two make contact, the phoenis feather on Gold's arm starts to glow. Then, a symbol appears on Sirius' arm, the same three blue claw marks from the card. "Seems like there is no going back for us."
"There is no backing away for heroes." Gold picked up the blank card. "This can be our compass to find the other holders. If the seal brought two of us here, it will bring the others. We must be ready for the nest steps of our lives..." Gold looks around the room. "All of us."
The group all nods with a new found determination. Pinkie remembers something. "Oh yeah. Pegasus left you something for when you woke up." She rummages around her hair and produces a box that should not have fit in there.
"How in the..?" Sirius shakes his head. "You know what, I'm not going to question it."
Gold opens the box to reveal a golden jacket with red trim. A smile spreads across his face. He slides it on and brushes it off. "Now... its time to rise to the occasion."
Gold held the blank card up to the horizon. "There must be a way to find the others."
"Let me have a look." Sirius grabbed the other side of the card. It glowed once more. The light started to shift as four new symbols appeared on the card. "Are these?"
"The others like us." Gold turned around and the symbols shifted. One symbol shifted towards the middle, but as Gold moved, another took its place. "Here is our compass. Lets go and find these guys." The two went off to find the other guardians. The Main 5 plus Sunset also left on their own way.
Gold and Sirius walk around the town looking at the blank card. Two symbols appear to be close together as they walk around. "Seems like we are getting close to two of them." Gold held up the card more. The two symbols were interesting. One was a brown sword encased by a chain. The other was a shield with a robotic face on it. Gold and Sirius walked up to what looked like an old garage. They walked in to see cars and bikes in half finished condition. Two guys were talking by what looked like a bike covered by a cloth.
One guy had rust colored hair with red skin. He wore a brown muscle shirt and tan pants. He also had heavy brown boots. He was chewing a toothpick with a smile. "I'm telling ya Storm. This baby will be ready in no time."
The other guy had dark blue skin with black hair. He wore a black shirt with a grey jacket over it, and dark blue pants. He was also in a wheelchair. "I don't know Rusty. The design still seemed to be in the prototype state."
The guy called Rusty smirked. "It will be fine. You got ol' Rusty Bolts as your buddy working on it."
"That's why I'm worried." The guy called Storm sighed.
Gold walked up to the two. "Hello, hope we are not interrupting."
Rusty turned to Gold and Sirius. "Oh, hello and welcome to my shop. Wait..." Rusty looked at Gold closer. "Your Golden Rise! The son of Pegasus and the great hero who saved the day. What is someone like you doing here?"
"I see my reputation precedes me. Me and my friend, Sirius here, were walking around the city when we came across this place."
"Well you chose a good place to stop by. The name's Rusty Bolts. If you need help with a car or bike I'm your man." Rusty placed an arm around Storm's shoulders. "And this guy here is my buddy, Storm Gales."
"Nice to meet you two." Storm moved forward. "Forgive my buddy. He still is going off the high of having his own shop even though we are still both seniors in school."
"Do you guys attend Canterlot High?" Sirius looked them over.
Rusty gave a huff. "Regrettably no. We are both Crystal Prep students. Our parents stuck us in that preppy and soul sucking school."
"And your almost thrown out with the fights you get into." Storm rolled his eyes.
"Its that jerk Blueblood. He keeps trying to battle others for their cards."
Gold looks between the two. "Well I wanted to ask you two something. Have either of you seen anything odd or had any odd dreams lately?"
"I haven't had anything like that. What about you, Storm?"
"Neither have I."
"Well here's the thing. You two maybe connected to a mystery that is plaguing the city right now." Gold looked at them with a serious look.
"Is this connected to that dark guy to dueled a week back?" Rusty leaned against the wall.
"It is."
Rusty gave a big smile and punched his hand. "Im so in!"
"You are?" Sirius seemed surprised.
"If it means not dealing with Crystal Prep for a bit and helping to save the world. That sound like a win win." Storm moved forward. "But we have no idea what we can do."
"You will know in time but for now. You two need to be ready for anything." Gold shook the hands of the two.
"We'll be ready. Especially with this baby almost ready." Rusty patted the covered bike.
"Good to hear." The four shared their contact info with each other. "We have two others to find, so we will be in contact." Gold and Sirius left the two of them.
Storm turned to Rusty. "I agreed because you were in, but why did you agree so fast?"
"I lied when I said I had no weird dreams. I had one."
"What happened?"
"I was by this cave outside of town. I heard a voice drawing me in but I was too scared to go in. I've had this feeling ever since, like something is connected to me."
"So you think Gold and Sirius, and whoever else maybe out there, maybe the key to this?"
"I believe so and hey,,, who doesn't want to be a hero?"
Storm sighed and turned back to the covered bike. "Hopefully we can be the heroes that this world needs."
Rusty walked back towards Crystal Prep. The dream and Gold's appearance still weighing on his mind. "What is going to happen? Can I actually be a hero. I only fought Blueblood before but never dueled him before. I could be a complete sham and then be a big obstacle for the others." He kept walking until he heard a scream. He ran towards the side of the school and saw Blueblood cornering girl.
"Listen here Sweetie Belle, I know your sister has those rare Crystal Knight cards. So you must have some rare ones of your own. Hand them over."
"I don't have any rare cards. Leave me along." Sweetie tried getting away but Blueblood blocked her.
"Nice try, but I have seen the cards registered to you. So hand them over or else."
Rusty stood behind Blueblood. "This is a new low for you Blueblood. Can't handle battling people of your own caliber so you threaten younger duelists?"
Blueblood turned around and laughed in Rusty's face. "You have no reason to be here Bolts. You barely belong to this school. Why don't you go to that hovel of a shop you have?"
"And why don't you just shut your mouth?"
"What did you say?"
"You and me, a duel right here, right now. If I win, you return all the cards you stole and throw down your deck for good."
Blueblood smiled. "And if I win, you will be gone from this school and never return."
"Deal." Rusty activated his duel disk. He looked at Sweetie Belle. "Sweetie, right? Get to safety. A kid like you shouldn't witness this." Sweetie took the chance to run but instead she stayed behind Rusty instead of running. "What are you doing? You need to leave."
"I'm here to support you. That creep needs to be taught a lesson."
"Fine, but stay behind me. This is a duel to prove something." Rusty stared down Blueblood.
Blueblood chuckled. "This duel will end in three turns. And you will be gone from my sight forever. Maybe I will have that shop of yours bulldozed as well."
"You only know talk, let's see if you can back it up."
Blueblood activated his duel disk. "I will enjoy this."
"Let's duel!"
Blueblood: 8000
Rusty: 8000
'I will start things off." Blueblood gave a smirk and drew a card. "I will start by activating Pot of Greed to draw two cards." He drew his two cards. "Next I summon out Ojama Red." A red figure with a large head, yellow scarf and red speedo appeared on the field. "And thanks to his effect I can special summon 4 more Ojama monsters. So say hello to Ojama Green, Yellow, Black and Blue." Four more monster like the first appear on the field. "And now I activate Polymerization. This allows me to fuse two of my Ojamas to create... Ojama Knight!"
Ojama Blue and Red were fused with each other into a portal. Out of the portal came a figure clad in armor with two yellow eye stalks coming from the top of the helmet. "And thanks to its effect, you can no longer use two of your monster zones." Two of Rusty's monster zones were covered by red Xs. "And next, I will activate the other Polymerization I have. This will fuse my three remaining Ojamas to create the being of your doom... Ojama King!" Just like before, the three Ojamas fused with one another into a portal. A figure of a giant head hopped out of the portal. It had two grey eye stalks, a huge mouth and noze, a red speedo, and a cape. "And his effect activates. Now your three other monster zones are useless." Three more Xs covered the other monster zones. "You have no monster zones to use. Nothing can stop this lock out. On my next turn, you will be finished."
Rusty looked over his field. "He locked out all of my monster zones. This is his strategy. Stop his opponent from using monsters and just wait them out until he gets Ojama Country." Rusty tensed up. "This is an almost impossible challenge, and I have to face it."
Rarity came around the corner and saw Sweetie Belle. "Sweetie Belle, there you are. I was so worried." She hugged her sister. "What happened?"
"Blueblood corned me for my cards but Rusty here stood up to him." Sweetie looked worried at the field. "But now he is in this duel against the worse set up possible."
Rarity looked between the two. "He is standing up to Blueblood? This is an almost guaranteed loss."
Blueblood laughed. "It's over for you Rusty. Draw you card and end your turn because this is over for you!"
