//------------------------------// // The Gamer, The Drake, and The Flyer // Story: Po-Gi-Oh Two: The Start of A Millennium // by Mister Phoenix //------------------------------// The sound of clicking full a room with Button Mash the cream colour walls. A blue bookshelf and a toy chest sitting next to it close to his door. His mirror sitting next to his shelf and blue bed. A green and blue ball, with a toy train next to his toy chest and a blue pillow. The colt held his tongue out holding a white controller with d-pad with start, A, B, and Select button. Button Mash kept playing his game with on the floor sitting to next him, a golden scale with a eye in the middle. "Button Mash, I pair of colts are here to see you!" A mare voice cried out, making Button sigh having yo turn off his game. The young colt ran down the stairs to see a pegasus colt with a black mane and blank flank. With a purple and green dragon sitting next to him. "Hey your Button Mash right? I'm Rumble and this here is Spike" Rumble said to the now quiet colt. "Sup dude, we thought that you wouldn't have any friends so here we are" Spike said with a smile. "Huh? Well Sweetie Belle is one of mine, that just happen yesterday" Button said, looking to the ground. A blush grow on his cheek as he remember how cute the filly is. "You like Sweetie Belle don't you?" Spike question, making Button panic. "What?! No, she's just a friend, somepony I trust" Button said, just when a catchy song went back into his head. Somepony who won't kill me. Darn it curse you Lego GlaDOS! Button scream in thought. "No this is perfect!" Rumble said, jumping off the couch. "You see Spike likes Apple Bloom, I like Scootaloo and you like Sweetie Belle. We could duel them and if we win they have to go on a date with us!" Rumble cried out, making Button confuse. "Isn't that wrong? Plus I heard that somepony in this town is un-defeatable" Button stated, causing Rumble to roll his eyes. "Button look they are girls. How tough could they be?" Spike question causing Rumble to laugh. "Alright then, tomorrow we play Duel Monsters!" Button said proudly before the colts fell silent. "Why tomorrow?" Spike asked "Because Sweetie isn't here today" Button said, causing the pegasus and drake to share a look. "But I don't want to force Sweetie to date me" Sweetie Belle sat on the train, while it traveled to Canterlot the city of dreams. She looked out the window, her reflection clearly showing her Millennium Item hanging around her neck. The filly sigh, even being able to now see Spark and have them talk to each other. The simple point being if Sweetie said anything back to Spark then everypony would think she was crazy. Spark is like a ghost. Trapped in a Puzzle made by her own doing, Sweetie was the only one who could hear and see her. It was haunting all of this just didn't sit right with the young unicorn. "Welcome to Canterlot" The Train Driver said, with the train doors opening. Sweetie Belle stood up and walked off the train, she looked at the city in wonder. "I sure hope I know where I'm going" Sweetie Belle said, before she started walking to Canterlot Castle. It took almost a full hour, her hooves hurting for walking to long. But she made it, Canterlot Castle. It stood high and tall able to be seen from most likely everywhere in Equestria. The Castle of day and night with two guards standing in the front gate. Sweetie Belle walked up, just to have the guards stop her. "Oops did you two catch me going ninety smiles per hour?" Sweetie Belle question with a cute smile. "Sorry your not aloud in!" The guard yelled. Blueblood was walking pass at the time, his smile grew. Dirty lower ponies trying to get in. It almost made him laugh, no he have to watch they dream break. He looked over to see Sweetie Belle talking to the guards. "Come on, I need to see Chase and maybe Princess Celestia." Sweetie Belle said to them. "Let her in" Blueblood said, walking to the gate. The guards looked at the Prince in shock with him being the last to let a filly in the grand castle. "But sir" The guard said "Quiet! Sweetie Belle your aloud in to this castle. She's my friend" Blueblood said making the guards step aside letting her in. "Thanks Blueblood" Sweetie Belle said, running to stand next to him. Sweetie Belle looked at him and waited for him to say well anything. The two walk through the halls in complete silence. Sweetie open her mouth just to close it again, not knowing how to start this talk. "I'll like a rematch with you someday. I hope that you will be looking forward to it" Blueblood said, breaking the ice. "What? Umm... Yeah your one of the best duelist I have fought" Sweetie said right when Blueblood stopped. "This is where Chase is staying for the time being, I wish you a fair well" Blueblood said, before he left the filly. "Gosh, does Blueblood ever change?" Sweetie Belle question out loud causing Spark to show her self. "I'm guessing he's your rival. I seen you defeat him twice even when he had a God card on the field" Spark said, looking where the stallion walked off to. "Yeah, we're friends I think. I was never quite sure, I'm just afraid to ask" Sweetie Belle said with a shrug before she enter the room. She looked at the Master Bedroom at Chase running around writing down notes, packing a suit case. "Yo Chase!" Sweetie Belle yelled out, causing the stallion to stop. "Sweetie Belle! Wait you have a Millennium Item? Of course, The Queen. I was wondering about that one" Chase said, making Sweetie scratch her head in confusion. "Alright what's going on? You know about these weird stuff, what is this Millennium Puzzle?" Sweetie Belle question causing Chase to place a piece of paper in front of her. "That's all the help I can give you!" Chase said, before he went back to packing. Sweetie looked at the paper looking at Chase's notes and wording. The Seven Holders, you can find. The Gamer. The Flightless. The Queen. The Country. The Prince. The Mare. The Bully. "Huh? That's it. This is going to be hard." Sweetie Belle said, looking at the paper. Sweetie Belle with Scootaloo and Apple Bloom sat on a round outside table. With Sweetie showing the pair The Puzzle hanging around her neck. "So ya need to find five other ponies who are what on this list?" Apple Bloom question before giving it back to Sweetie. "Yeah, The Bully might be Diamond but I'm bot sure yet." Sweetie Belle said putting the paper back into her saddle bag. "Hey girls!" Rumble cried out making The Crusaders look at the gray pegasus with Button and Spike standing next to him. "Hi Button!" Sweetie cried out "Hi Sweetie Belle!" Button said back. "Enough we challenge you three to a duel a three on three match" Rumble said with a smile. "Three vs three. That never happen before what do ya say girls?" Apple Bloom asked "One more thing. If I beat Scoots or Spike beats Bloom or Button beats Belle-" Rumble said causing Sweetie to smile. "If you lose you have to go on a date with us" Rumble said, Button bit his lip wondering if this was a good idea. Scootaloo let out a laugh before she jump off the table. "You think you can defeat me? The pegasus who dresses up like a super hero and calls him self The Masked Crusader? Bloom, Belle let show these dorks" Scootaloo said, putting on her duel disk with the five other ponies doing the same. A smoke cloud stop with a tall unicorn stallion with black sun glasses and blue mane. Almost out of breath from running from Canterlot to here. Hi there I'm The Announcer for this duel. Now let get started "This will be a three on three duel. Button, Scootaloo, me, Spike and then Sweetie. Four thousand life points each and well I one of us boys are able to knock out one of yours life points date. Everypony got that?" Rumble said, explaining everything. "Yes!" They cried, powering up their duel disk. Button Mash: 4000 Scootaloo: 4000 Rumble: 4000 Apple Bloom: 4000 Spike: 4000 Sweetie Belle: 4000 "Alright I place one card in face down defense mode and end" Button said with the card appearing. "My move and I summon my Knife Fighter in attack mode and set a card, Rumble go" Scootaloo said with a silver knight. And Scootaloo starts off powerful, what will Rumble do? The Announcer said, wondering what the pegasus colt will do. "I summon Hunter Owl in attack mode. Then place a card down go Bloom" Rumble said. "Ma turn then. Ah place one card face down an' summon ma Achacha Archer in attack mode. Meanin' ya'll lose five hundred each" Apple Bloom said with her Archer shooting the colts. Button, Rumble and Spike: 4000 - 3500 "I summon Exploder Dragon and end" Spike said, making Sweetie finally draw. It finally Sweetie Belle's turn what tricks does she have plan?" The Announcer asked, on the edge of his seat. Dark Magician I knew I could trust you Sweetie Belle thought with a smile. "I set one card in face down defense mode and two cards and end" Sweetie Belle said when now the real duel starting now. attack directly, now Drillago attack Scootaloo." Button Mash said with the machine attack the filly pegasus. Scootaloo: 4000 - 2400 "Oh it looks like Scootaloo us in danger. How will she make a come back?" The Announcer said "Fine my move now!

The Announcer cried out in happiness. "I switch my dragon un defense mode and summon Ruby Dragon in attack mode! Now attack Sweetie defense monster" Spike said with his red dragon attack Sweetie monster. Sweetie Mystical Elf sat in defense her eyes closed. With the red dragon claw getting hurt. Spike: 3500 - 2900 "It my turn now boys. I'll keep my defense on with one monster face down" Sweetie Belle said with a smile. What does Sweetie have plan? Playing it safe I don't about any of you ponies but I can't wait!" The Announcer said, being overjoy by the moves. "I sacrifice my two monsters to summon my Blowback Dragon in attack mode and set one card and end" Button said "Well Button you ain't the only one who can sacrifice. I get rid of my two monsters to summon my Ace card my Blue Eyes White Dragon" Scootaloo said with her dragon cracking the ground. "Wait. When, how did you get a Blue Eyes?" Spike question in shock. "Rainbow gave it to me. It my best and favorite card" Scootaloo said with a shrug. "Go Rumble" "I switch my Mist Valley Falcon to defense and set a monster face down." Rumble said having to play defense. And it looks like Rumble playing defense with Scootaloo Blue Eyes" The Announcer stated. "Ah sacrifice ma two monsters to summon ma Buster Blader. But by gettin' rid of ma Penguin Soldier to return Spike' monsters back to his claw." Apple Bloom's Buster Blader is now, 3500 attack. The Announcer said, "Watch out the game is just getting good!" "Ya move Spike" Apple Bloom said, making Spike mad. "Monster face down. Go Sweetie" Spike said, causing Sweetie to smile. "I guess if we are summoning our Ace cards. I sacrifice my two monster to summon my trust Dark Magician'" Sweetie Belle said, summoning her Dark Magician. "I will forever fight by your side Lady Sweetie Belle" The Dark Magician said. "Huh?" Button Mash question, he thought he heard that card talking. "Anything wrong Button?" Rumble question "Nothing just was thinking" Button said, looking back at Sweetie. That Puzzle eye looks like my scale. I have to talk to her after this? Button question in thought. "Alright Dark Magician attack Button's Blowback Dragon!" Sweetie Belle said, the machine getting destroyed. Button Mash: 3500 - 3300 Oh that gotta hurt. The girl side have all the ace cards on the field. Folks this is why you don't mess sith Sweetie Belle; The Queen of Games! The Announcer cried out. I LOVE THIS DUEL LADIES AND GENTLECOLTS!! The Announcer shouted "My turn and... I give. I like Sweetie Belle if it a crush or not I don't know. What I do know is she's my friend and I wouldn't dare to force her to go on a date with me" Button said, his life points going to zero. NO! Not the brown colt! This is TERRIBLE! We will miss you The Announcer cried out. "This is easy hey Bloom, Belle can I borrow your Magician and Blader?" Scootaloo question. "Sure" "Go ahead" "Dark Magician, Bluster Blader attack Rumble's defense monsters. Then Blue Eyes white lightning attack!" Scootaloo said, causing Rumble to lose. Rumble: 2900 - 0 "Ma turn then, Buster Blader attack Spike" Apple Bloom said. Spike: 2900 - 0 That's all folks! It looks like girls are better then boys. It was so great I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT DUEL!" The Announcer cried out. Sweetie Belle looked at where Button went off to, leaving the filly to wonder. Why did he give up? It look like he heard the Dark Magician Sweetie Belle thought, causing Spark to appear. "He was looking at The Millennium Puzzle. Maybe it best to go on that date with him" Spark stated making Sweetie nod. "Hey Button, wait up!" Sweetie cried running to the colt. "Yeah?" He asked turning to face the filly. "How about that date tomorrow?" Sweetie Belle asked "Sure. Just leave that at home, later Sweetie!" Button said. Sweetie watch the colt walk away abd look at her Puzzle. Before she started to wonder if he had a Millennium Item. Meanwhile Rumble walked away from the school playground in a rage. Having lost fo a brunch of girls. "Hello Rumble" A voice said, causing the colt to turn to the speaker. "Wait. I know you..." Rumble said, with the stranger hidding in thr shadows. "I can help you get your revenge on Scootaloo. Only if you join me" the shadow said. "Deal!"
