> A Start To A New Millennium
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the deep dark of the moonlight night and shadow ran through the tall forest where the once Castle of Shadows stood. The creature hidden by the blacken night looked at the left over piece's of rock.

A gold shine by the the moonlight that caught the stranger eye. The object lifted in the air by the use of magic, it was just a simple gold ring.

A gold ring with a triangle in the middle with a eye. With five sharp points hanging at the bottom.

"Finally. After all my searching I have finally found the Millennium Ring and No Pony is going to stop me from find the others and taking over the world!" The creature said, laughing like a evil villain.

Po-Gi-Oh Two: The Start of A New Millennium.

"And done. I win again" Sweetie Belle said with a smile.

Sweetie Belle and her two best friends The Cutie Mark Crusaders Scootaloo and Apple Bloom. Only sat to watch Sweetie Belle defeat Diamond Tiara with no problems what of ever.

"Oh what? Boo, boo! You cheated!" Diamond said, making Sweetie look at the cards.

"Umm... No I didn't I beat you in a fair duel. I just kicked your flank with my trusted Dark Magician" Sweetie Belle said, smiling.

"You still cheated. How was I meant to defeat The Queen of Games?" Diamond question

Before Sweetie could answer the filly question they teacher Miss Cheerilee walked in making everypony run to they seats and Sweetie place her deck in her desk.

"Good morning class. Today we have a new student joining us, his name is Button Mash" Miss Cheerilee said to the class.

A brown coat colt walked into the class his head looking to the ground. Most likely due to his shyness, with his flank being blank and his dark brown tail. The colt quietly got to his seat which is next to Sweetie Belle.

"Hi there! I'm Sweetie Belle!" She said, with made the colt jump.

"Umm...I'm Button Mash" he said quietly, trying to end this talk.

"Your name is cool. Do you like the game Po-Gi-Oh. Or Duel Monsters whatever you want to call it?" Sweetie Belle asked, making the colt smile.

"Yeah. It not my favorite that goes to my video games. The game it self is cool" Button said, coming a bit more out of his shell.

"Well Button if you want I can be your first friend in Ponyville" Sweetie Belle said, smiling at him.

"Wow, really? Thanks a lot Sweetie Belle, your name is cool also" Button said, before the two new friends did a hoof bumb.

The class seem go on forever, but when the home bell rang Sweetie Belle and Button Mash bid each other a fair well and good night. Sweetie Belle was tired to her bones.

When the white unicorn filly walked into her room. A golden box sat on her bed, waiting for something or just wait for her. Sweetie knew Rarity wouldn't dare to put this in her house, shrugging Sweetie carried it down stairs to throw in the bin.

The tired filly climbed up the stairs once more wanting to just sleep forever. But that same box, somehow sat on her bed waiting for her to open it.

Sweetie let out a sigh, she totted over to her window, letting the cold air enter the room. She walked back to her bed to throw the box out the window, smiling in victory she closed her window.

Sweetie turn around with a yawn just to see the same box just sitting there. Like magic, unable to leave her room Sweetie rolled her eyes. The young unicorn open the box to see countless of puzzle piece's in it.

"Well maybe if I solve it, it will go away" Sweetie Belle said to her self.

Thus during the night the filly stayed up trying to solve the puzzle. Somehow it was so simple each piece, she just somehow knew how to solve it.

One piece at a time it was so simple but at the same time impossible. Each piece she seem to ether knows where it goes or doesn't. Then it was finish the puzzle was completed.

The puzzle was complete the triangle with a eye in the middle and a way to hold it, most likely around a neck.

She puts it on the bed side table before falling fast asleep with the time being eleven at night.

Her Dark Magician look at it in shock.

"Oh no The Millennium Puzzle that means" Dark Magician said, in shock.

A shadow figure raise behind the card with a laugh, Sweetie Belle forehead glow a yellow eye. Her room shine a bright light with Sweetie Belle, her Puzzle and deck gone with a trace.





Fancy Pants: 1500 - 0

The crowd watching the duel in the stadium. Fancy Pants dueling Blueblood, for the title of best duelist in Canterlot. Prince Blueblood stood in victory with the announcer loud voice quiet down the crowd.

"And that's was the match between Fancy Pants and Prince Blueblood! Any words from the winner?" The Announcer question Blueblood.

"Yes, my next win will be against The Queen of Games her self. Sweetie Belle" Blueblood stated making the crowd start yelling.

That's a match I can't wait to see. Two rivalries fighting for the title of best duelist! With Sweetie's Dark Magician it will be one duel for the ages!" The Announcer cried out

Her Dark Magician isn't the one I need to worry about. While Sweetie still has her Equestrian Gods, I'm fighting a losing battle Blueblood thought while leaving the dueling area.

Blueblood enter into Canterlot Castle. Thinking of a plan to defeat Sweetie Belle once and for all and gain his title; King of Games. But the it was mere to impossible with her Equestrian Gods, even when he had one she still beat it with her Black Luster Solider.

When there only one, they have a weakness but together they are unstoppable. This Chase, creator of the game was only one who knew how to defeat them but even in the end he was stuck down by all three at once.

Sweetie Belle, she was something a pony who knew nothing to Queen of Games. A nobody a rookie on the rise.

"Blueblood" A ghostly voice said, it echo through the halls.

The cold air sent Blueblood to look around in fear. It was haunting, but he just can't stop listening.

"The Key, find the Key and unlock the mind" The Ghost voice said, whispering through the halls.

"The Key?" Blueblood question, before he shock his head.

"No this is just a trick. Nothing more, nothing less." Blueblood said, entering his room.

A little down more the halls, a stallion unicorn sat on the bed, his eyes shut. Pictures of a ring, a puzzle, a eye, a rod, a scale,  a necklace and a key. All golden that could easily shine in the light of Celestia sun. With a eye symbol on each one marking them.

"The Millennium Items have return." Chase said, opening his eyes in fear.

"The Seven heroes shall come to pass, when day became night and shadow rise and fell. The end times will soon to come, unless the seven band together with the seven items to stop the end" Chase said, repeating the saying.

"We're all doomed." Chase said, looking out the window.





Sweetie Belle slowly open her eyes looking around a white void, in the background played every duel she had. Blueblood, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom Amber, Knuckles, even Master Chase.

Sweetie Belle looked around with her cards floating around the void too. All time had seem to stop, nothing had meaning. The young white unicorn filly sat in this place, her cards not even speaking to her.

"Lady Sweetie Belle!" A familiar voice cried out, causing her to smile.

Her very own favorite card; The Dark Magician standing in his weird form what Lyra called human. Wearing just a purple dress and green staff, he looked at Sweetie with a worry look.

"Your fine. That's impossible!" The Dark Magician stated

"Not quite, I need her, she important and well I can't be without her" a different voice said, coming some where in the void.

"Who are you? Show your self!" Sweetie Belle yelled out.

A yellow Earth pony mare stood in front of Sweetie Belle with a brown mane looking at her. Her eyes kept moving from the filly and to her duels.

"Your good. No wonder why you got choose to behold my Millennium Puzzle" the mare said looking at the duels.

"Huh? I don't understand, who are you, what's going on?!" Sweetie Belle question, wanting to not be left in the dark.

"Well I really don't know who I am but just call me Spark. You see young Sweetie Belle, long ago a dark game was created with black magic. The only way to control thr power was to create seven items. A Puzzle, A Eye, A Necklace, A Rod, A Scale, A Key, and A Ring. These was known as The Millennium Items and that's how far my memory goes" Spark said, with Sweetie sitting down in shock.

"Maybe Chase will know. He knows about weird magic but did you come out when I completed your puzzle?" Sweetie Belle asked

"Yes and I believe that we are now together to find the seven holders of The Millennium Items"

Sweetie sat in shock at the news, first evil Shadow Ponies and now Millennium Items. It was all so confusing, why her?

What makes me so special? She thought

It was all so weird and chaotic. It didn't make any sense. Why should she be doing all this? One minute she hated the game, next she's the best with the title of Queen of Games.

Sweetie knew that she could trust her Dark Magician and other duel monster cards. The triangel, this Puzzle that hang around Spark's neck. It seem there was a lot of questions but no answers to them.

"I'll help you find the seven holders of The Millennium Items. Who ever they are" Sweetie Belle said, just when Pinkie pop into the white void.

"Its whom" Pinkie said, before disappearing.

Spark and Sweetie Belle looked at where the pink Earth pony was just before, before Spark could even asked.

"It Pinkie Pie, don't question it" Sweetie Belle said, before the white void started to disappear.

"My magic is running out. Find the other six and save the world. I'll be right by your side in the Millennium Puzzle" Spark said before Sweetie fell back on her bed.

"Ow." She cried out.

Seven items, seven ponies are the holders. She looked at her Puzzle and wonder where to start, it seems like a wild goose chase without knowing where go to first.

Wait that's it! Chase, he should know about this! Sweetie's thoughts cried out.

The young unicorn jumped off her bed to grab a brown piece of string. She tried it up around the holder at the top for the string.

Sweetie Belle lifted the Puzzle with her magic, the small object glowing green with Sweetie Belle hanging it around her neck.

"Next stop Canterlot!" Sweetie Belle said looking out the window.
> The Gamer, The Drake, and The Flyer
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

"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.

"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!"

"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.

"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.

"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!"
> The Flightless 
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"A date!" Scootaloo cried out.

When the three crusaders finish they duel against Button, Rumble and Spike. Sweetie decide to ask the gamer colt on a date, telling her friend once they got back to they club house.

"Yeah. I thought I explain it well, with Button might be one of the seven holders" Sweetie Belle explain to her pegasus friend.

"Yes I know but you can't date Button!" Scootaloo said, making Apple Bloom roll her eyes.

"Are ya little jealous there Scoots?" Apple Bloom asked, causing the orange filly to blush.

"What? No! After the whole trying to get rid of Sweetie's soul. I just want to watch your back" Scootaloo said with Sweetie walking over where Scootaloo sat.

"It fine, I forgive you. It wasn't even your fault, it was Chase when he was evil" Sweetie Belle said, putting her leg around Scootaloo.

"I know, I just don't want anything bad to happen to you. I care about you Sweetie" Scootaloo said with a smile.

"It cute what ya two have. Sweetie have ya found out anymore on that paper?" Apple Bloom asked, Scootaloo moving away from her best friend hiding her blush.

"I'm not doing well, beside my guest about Button I still got five others to find out" Sweetie Belle said before let out a cute cry of anger.

"Well girls I'm out" Scootaloo said, causing Sweetie head to quickly shot up.

"Wait before you go, here" Sweetie Belle said, holding a poorly made looking trophy. "I know it not a real one, but you are a best friend anypony can ask for" she said with a smile.

"Thanks Sweetie, just thanks" Scootaloo said, small a mount of tears running down her face.

Scootaloo, let out a sigh looking at the road she walked on. Why did her friend have to be so cute, it was hard to say, when she got home. Placing her new reward in the glass case. Smiling the pegasus let out a small yawn, falling fast asleep.





Scootaloo awoke with a smile, she flew out of her bed hovering above the ground. She let out a cheer before she flew out the open window.

A bright light fill the sky a eye symbol flashed of a second, Scootaloo rubbed her eyes. Having it disappeared, gone like the wind.

"Hello Scootaloo" A ghostly voice said, causing the filly eyes to dart around.

"Who's there!?" Scootaloo asked, rage in her voice trying act tough.

A dark pony, holding a golden Staff the same eye symbol on it like Sweetie's Puzzle.

"I'm The Nightmare dear Scootaloo. Now a flightless like you shouldn't be well flying" The Nightmare said, causing Scootaloo to land on the ground in a thump.

"Ow. So this is a dream, what do you want with me?" Scootaloo question

"Well Flightless, that simple. You know a lot thanks to Queen about The Millennium Items. The one I have is The Millennium Rod, it doesn't aloud me to enter minds" The Nightmare said, with a sigh.

"Then how did you get in here? Is there just a line to enter my dreams?" Scootaloo wondered, making The Nightmare let out a dark laugh.

"You'll learn soon enough. Flightless, now for this Sweetie Belle" The Nightmare started causing the pegasus to quickly stand up.

"You better not touch her!" Scootaloo yelled

"So it is true, you fell and it must have been hard. Tell me Flightless, does it enrage you, to know the one you like is with another?" The Nightmare question, causing Scootaloo to bit her lip.

"No, she wants to makes friends with Button!" Scootaloo said, lying to herself.

"Yes, her friendly way. Tell me, if a colt and a filly like each other, what happens?"

"They become Special Someponies" Scootaloo said under her breath.

"Take a look if you don't believe me" The Nightmare said, showing Scootaloo the date.





Sweetie Belle stood outside of Sugar Cube Corner, with a small smile humming to herself. Her eyes widen in happiness seeing the brown colt getting closer.

"Hey Sweetie" Button said with a friendly smile.

"Good afternoon Button, ready for our date" Sweetie said letting out a giggle.

When the colt and the filly enter Sugar Cube Corner ordering two milkshakes.

"So Button, what was that look when you saw my Puzzle?" Sweetie asked, making Button rubed is neck.

"Well it more of the eye. I have a Scale with the same eye on it." Button said with a forced laugh.

"Well, we're friends Button there's...." Sweetie started, before somepony yelled.
"Order up!" A stallion yelled the milkshakes landing on the table.

"Milkshake race! Three, two, one. GO!" Button called out, drinking his milkshake too fast.

The young colt yelled in pain getting a brain freeze landing on the floor. Sweetie rolled her eyes, grabbing his Joyboy and started playing it while drinking her milkshake.

"Hey a bit!" Button said, finding the silver lining.

Back with Scootaloo, The Nightmare turn to look at the orange pegasus in confusion.

"I don't know why you created me." The Nightmare stated causing Scootaloo to look at it in shock.

"I created you. So that's how your in my mind" Scootaloo said, putting it all together.

"I'm more on the evil side that still here. I want to be back in control" The Nightmare said, Scootaloo stomped her hoof in anger.

"No! I won't let control me again!"

"Let's make a deal, a duel if I win I get control. If you win I get destroy and get The Millennium Rod. Deal?" The Nightmare question

Scootaloo gave a cocky smirk, a duel disk appearing on her leg. "Deal"

A duel disk appeared on The Nightmare leg with the creature letting out a strange laugh.

"Let duel!"

The Nightmare: 4000

Scootaloo: 4000

"I'll start our duel off, with one card face down and Inpachi in attack mode" The Nightmare said.

A large wooden monster with the number eighteen on his chest. The yellow eyes looked down at Scootaloo.

Scootaloo looked through her hoof seeing her drawing her top card in the first move.

The Blue Eyes White Dragon. Now I know how Sweetie feels Scootaloo thought with a smile.

"I'll just set a card and a monster and end" Scootaloo said

"How weak" The Nightmare said. "I'll follow your lead and set a monster. Now Inpachi attack her monster!"

Scootaloo smiled with a giant stone soldier sitting hurting the wooden monster.

The Nightmare: 4000 - 3700

"My move, I set a monster and a card and end. Your move" Scootaloo said with a smirk.

"I actives Tribute To The Doom, by getting rid of my Mist Body I destroy you Stone Soldier. That will do for now" The Nightmare said, Scootaloo could tell that this thing was enjoying this.

"Time to attack then! I summon my Warrior Dai Grapher"

A warrior wearing black armor his huge muscles letting him hold the long blue sword.

"Destroy Inpachi!! Then I end" Scootaloo said

The Nightmare: 3700 - 3600

"I set one monster and end. Don't get your hope up I'm just getting started" The Nightmare said, causing Scootaloo to draw.

"I sacrifice my two monsters to summon my Blue Eyes White Dragon in attack mode" Scootaloo said her powerful white scale dragon crushing the ground under it foot.

"Next I active Ookazi"

The Nightmare: 3600 - 2800

"Now I destroy your left monster, white lightning attack. Your move" Scootaloo finished.

The Nightmare watched Scootaloo's dragon destroy the Winged Dragon Guardian. With the three thousand attack, the dragon could destroy almost every card in the deck.

"I set another monster and end, can't really fight back with that dragon" The Nightmare said

"I attack the right side" Scootaloo said destroying Four Starred Ladybug of Doom.

"I set one card and your move" the orange pegasus finished.

"I draw your end. Attack if you dare I got a Pony Eater Bug guarding me so I can slade that dragon" The Nightmare said, "Go"

"Alright then, I'll end can't destroy yaa monster without hurting my Blue Eyes."

"I set one card and active Black Luster Ritual-" The Nightmare said, before Scootaloo cut the creature off.

"Dust Tornado! You think I didn't notice your using my best friend deck before The Equestrian Gods" Scootaloo said, smiling in victory.

"Why is this deck so terrible?!" The Nightmare question in a yell

"Because the cards don't like ya. Thet Sweetie's friends and your not Sweetie" Scootaloo said.

"My move and I summon my Dino Uraby to destroy you Pony Eater Bug and itself so Blue Eyes can finish you off!" Scootaloo said

Her strong T-Rex bit into the bug, with it dragging the beast to the graveyard. Next a powerful white lightning hitting The Nightmare.

The Nightmare: 2800 - 0

The Nightmare yelled in pain disappearing from the dream world and Scootaloo's mind.

Scootaloo shot awake seeing The Millennium Rod in her bedside table. The young pegasus eye started twitching before she let out a frusated cry learning that she was The Flightless one.
> The Battle of The Millennium Eye
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Diamond Tiara let out a huge cry, hitting her duel monster deck off the glass table. Causing them to fly onto the gray soft ground, it trouble her on why she wasn't winning.

After Sweetie became Queen of Games it was lost after lost. They might be friends but the rich filly always wanted the title, to be the best. Defeat after defeat, the only one she used to beat was Scootaloo that was before the orange pegasus started getting better.

Diamond storm out of the house, rage filling her mind. Still having trouble fitting in and being nice to other ponies was hard since she just kept bullying them.

"I can help" a voice said, the cold wind blew Diamond mane.

The pink Earth pony looked around herself to try and find the voice. All she saw was ponies doing they daily actives.
"Follow the sound of my lovely voice" a voice whispered sending a chill through Diamond body.

The pink filly looked left and right quickly seeing anything out of the normal is going on at the moment. Taking a deep breath Diamond step forward, one step before another following the dark and haunting voice.

"Yes, this way. Closer, closer" the voice seem to repeat again and again.

Diamond couldn't help but listen and do what this voice wanted. She didn't know why, she wanted to turn and run but she kept walking forward getting closer to the stranger voice that echo in the cold wind on the sunny afternoon.

"Yes come and soon your wishes will come true" the voice finally saying something different.

The click of the clock tower rang through town warning it is now twelve in the afternoon. The sun beaming down onto the small town, with Diamond entering a dark alleyway.

Spider webs hang from the corner, almost no of Celestia sun hit the small corner. Diamond quickly looked around herself wondering what's going on.

"Who are you? Show yourself!" Diamond cried out, acting brave.

A small laugh full the air, it made Diamond start to shake a little this strange voice. It kept her here, made her come here, wanted her here, but why? Diamond try to think but her mind is too clouded.

A pair of red eyes glow in the darkness nothing else could be seen besides a golden ring hanging in the air.

"You can have your revenge. You can have your wish. You can have everything you ever wanted. Bring me The Millennium Eye, hidden in Manehatten and I give it all to you" the voice said.

Diamond stood frozen still, before she knew she was under this stranger spell, or was it her own greed. Ether way one word slip her lips.

"Yes"





Deep within Sweet Apple Acres, stood the Cutie Mark Crusaders club house. Inside Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle wearing her Puzzle and Button Mash who has his Scale. Waited for their friend Scootaloo to hurry to the meeting already.

They seem to learn that their orange pegasus friend was becoming more like her hero Rainbow Dash. Sleeping, and lay on her soft bed. Apple Bloom rolled her eyes, just before she could speak up the door flew open with Scootaloo rushing in.

"Girls! Girls!" She cried before she noted Button's annoyed look. "And Button" Scootaloo added.

Sweetie Belle looked at her over joy friend, looking like she was on a never-ending sugar rush. Sweetie Belle didn't want to think how Equestria could have two almost Pinkie ponies.

"What is it Scoots?" Apple Bloom asked, getting tired of being left in the dark.

"This!" Scootaloo said with a smile.

She pulled out the golden rod with the eye on the top. It shinned in the sun light at glare through the window of the club house.

Sweetie Belle's puzzle glowed letting Spark spirit out to look at the scene.

"The Millennium Rod, so your friend Scootaloo must be The Flightless." Spark said looking at Scootaloo who us proudly showing off.

"I don't know how I feel about this. I love her as my friend but these Millennium Items are powerful" Sweetie Belle stated looking at her Puzzle.

Indeed, but The Millennium Rod chose Scootaloo for a reason. Like I did with you, or The Scale did with Button. There are still four Items left in the world we still need to find" Spark said, with Sweetie nodding in agreement.

Scootaloo continue to boast about how awesome she is and how she has a Millennium Item. Apple Bloom looked like she really couldn't careless about what her friend was on about at the moment.

The young farmer filly just roll her eyes for a reply wondering when Scootaloo would shut her trap. Apple Bloom let out a sigh before something came to her mind.

"Stop talkin' Scoots. Ah just remember that Babs an' her family invited us to come to Manehatten" Apple Bloom said, Sweetie looking at her.

"Really, that is really good timing." Sweetie Belle stated, "The only thing missing is a Millennium Item"

"Babs did say somethin' 'bout a weird lookin' eye" Apple Bloom said, rubbing her chin.

Scootaloo rolled her eyes at Apple Bloom words waiting to be a mused.

"Talk about lazy writing" Scootaloo said, annoyed.

"We're aloud to stay for the long weekend. Then Babs said somethin' 'bout seein' if she could stay in Ponyville for the week" Apple Bloom finished explaining.

Sweetie Belle smiled at the news, while thinking about the strange turn of events. One piece before another, the young unicorn feared that somepony maybe playing them like a game of chess.

She took a deep breath, her mind is already full with who are The Bully, The Country, The Prince, and The Mare. Adding a pony hiding in the shadows, is too worrying about the events going on at the moment.





The Cutie Mark Crusaders stood at the train station, their sisters seeing them off. Rarity hugged Sweetie Belle tightly, causing the young filly unicorn to lose breath.

"Rar-" Sweetie Belle tried to say.

Rarity notced her mistake, she let go of her sister letting Sweetie get her breath back. Rainbow messing up Scootaloo's mane, Applejack just giving Apple Bloom quick hug.

The train arrived to the station, the conductor stepping off the train to tell everypony to come aboard. The CMC waved their sisters a goodbye, before boarding the train.

The train sped off to the large city of Manehattan, the second best city in Equestria next to Canterlot. Sweetie rested her head on the wall, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom chatting away, most likely fighting over who the better sister is.

Sweetie let out a small laugh, her eyes looked around, as she wondered how many are duelist. Her eyes drifted to the train ground, she bit her lip her title as Queen of Games haunt her.

I just started to get into the game. Now I fell like I can never lose Sweetie Belle thought, before letting out a sigh.

The train pull to a stop, steam caught in the strong wind. The three friends got off they seats to exit the stop train, to go see Manehattan for the first time.

Apple Bloom waved with a huge smile on her face, seeing her favorite cousin Babs Seed. A light red mane with a dark orange coat with her new cutie mark being scissors. The country filly ran up to hug the waiting filly, leaving her two friends behind making them roll their eyes before catching up with their excited friend.

Babs smiled at Apple Bloom returning the her cousin hug just making it a quick one.

"Ya need to tell me what I miss" Babs said, a smile still on her face.

"Where to start?" Apple Bloom said, almost bouncing.

"How about the beginning, partner" Babs said with a little laugh.

Apple Bloom smiled sharing the tales, with the CMC befriending Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, Sweetie becoming The Queen of Games and getting the three Equestrian Gods. More on their adventures on the way to the building Babs talked about in her letter.

"So Babs, what is this building called?" Sweetie Belle asked

"The old abandoned, old abandoned movie theatre" Babs answered, causing Scootaloo to look at her.

"The old abandoned, old abandoned movie theatre?" Scootaloo repeated as a question causing Babs to nod.

"Old abandoned twice?" Sweetie added with Babs just nodding again.

The CMC finally got to the building in titled The Old Abandoned Movie Theatre, with Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo looking at it.

"Oh, it was called The Old Abandoned Movie Theatre, now it old and abandoned. That makes sense" Sweetie Belle said, with a small smile.

"No it doesn't" Babs said, causing Sweetie smile to drop.

The group of friends entered the dark building, spider weps fulled the corners. The whole place was haunting, the floor made a loud noise each time their stepped, Sweetie fearing the old wood would break under them.

The dirty windows let out enough light for the CMC to see where to go. Well more on just follow where Babs is going at the moment. The friends entered broken and missing red chair, Scootaloo looked at the windows.

"No wonder why this is Old and abandoned" She said she not so smart reply.

"There!" Babs said, pointing at a golden eye.

"That the Millennium Eye, that must mean your friend Babs must hold it" Spark said, appearing next to Sweetie.

Sweetie try to think what Babs was meant to be on the list. The Country didn't really make sense seeing the filly isn't that southern. Sweetie was at a road stop before she remember that Babs was a bully for while.

"The Bully!" Sweetie cried out, causing the friends to look at her.

Sweetie let out a blush, "I was going to say-"

"That Millennium Eye is mine!" A voice cried out, echo through the room.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders looked at the door, with they friend Diamond Tiara standing there with a evil smirk on her face. A duel disk on her leg, with a unicorn stallion following her with a gray suit case.

"And I challenge you to a duel, one for The Millennium Eye!" Diamond said, pointing at Babs with that small evil smile.

"Fine then, normal rules I just didn't bring my duel disk" Babs stated.

Diamond rolled her eyes, the stallion opening the suit case to have a brand new duel disk taken out to be given to Babs. The used to be bully placed it on her leg placing her deck in locking eyes with Diamond Tiara.

Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo took a seat on the old seats facing the duel that was about to start. The main doors flew open, a tired and out of breath Announcer holding his leg out to get a small rest.

"Greetings Fillies and one stallion to the duel between...." The Announcer said, before leaning to Sweetie Belle.

"Babs Seed and Diamond Tiara" she answered

"Babs Seed and Diamond Tiara. Now duel!" The Announcer cried out.

Babs and Diamond powered up the duel disk, their life points showing on the machine, Babs smiled while Diamond had hate and rage in her eyes. Filled with her defeats over the crusaders, and her greed for more power.

Babs Seed: 4000

Diamond Tiara: 4000

"I'll start, with Enraged Battle Ox in attack mode and set two cards" Babs said.

A large battle Ox raised to the battle field, holding a battle axe in it right hand, wearing red and golden armor. The Ox roar in anger, Diamond mane blew with the rich filly moving away the bad breath from the monster.

"I summon Morphtronic Magnen in face up defense mode and set two cards, that would do for now" Diamond said with a smirk.

"Ah summon Overdrive in attack mode!" Babs said.

A large car drove into the battle field with a machine gun aim at Diamond side. The Announcer looked at the field, almost jumping for joy.

"Oh it looks like Babs has a strong start at the moment!" The Announcer stated looking over the duel.

"Overdrive destroy Magnen and the Battle Ox attack her life points!" Babs said, making Diamond stomp her hoof.

The green machine gun car drove through the battle field, firing the bullets from the gun destroying the blue magnet. Next with the Enraged Battle Ox letting out a battle yell, before charging at Diamond hitting her with the battle axe.

Diamond Tiara: 4000 - 2300

"Ow?" Diamond said, questioning what just happen.

"Time to make a come back I summon SZW - Fenrir Sword!" Diamond said.

A gold metal machine beast with blue lights silver metal under the golden plating.

"Now destroy Overdrive!"

The metal beast roar running to the machine gun car with the bullets just flying off the powerful beast. The machine beast monster cut off the machine gun destroying the car.

Babs Seed: 4000 - 3800

"Fine I set one monster face down and use my magic card Stim-Pack giving my Battle Ox seven hundred attack points!" Babs said, with a smile.

The Battle Ox let out a loud roar gaining more power, somehow getting more larger. The Battle Ox charged at the metal beast crushing it with the battle axe cutting it in two.

Diamond Tiara: 2300 - 1700

"I set a monster face down and use my magic card Smashing Ground, destroying the monster with the highest defense and that will be your Ox!" Diamond said, smirking.

A large fist fell from the sky, crushing the Ox, destroying the beast causing Babs to look at it in shock, not believing that her strong Ox defeated by a giant sky fist.

"I set a card and finish, give up before I crush you again" Diamond said, making Babs stomp her hoof.

"Well everypony it looks like this duel could go anywhere now!" The Announcer said, at the end of his seat.

Apple Bloom kept cheering on her favorite cousin to win the duel. While Sweetie sat in silence, watching the duel closely wondering why Diamond Tiara is even here. Spark did watch at points when she thought that something good is going on.

"I summon Gamma The Magnet Warrior in defense mode" Babs said.

A small magnet warrior sitting on it right knee crossing the tiny arms. Babs ended her turn with the two fillies now playing defense.

"I active my trap card, Reckless Greed letting me draw two cards but making me skip my next two draw phase's" Diamond Tiara explained, "I set a card and your move"

Babs turn her head, wondering why Diamond is just using defense so much, the city filly wondered if she had a plan. Babs drawed, she smiled seeing Alpha The Magnet Warrior.

"I summon Alpha The Magnet Warrior in face up defense mode, then I end" Babs said, hoping to get the last card she needs.

Diamond draw her card, her plan now complete having two cards on her side of the battle field.

"I sacrifice my two monsters to summon my star monster Jinzo causing traps cards useless" Diamond explain smiling.

A tall machine human rose to Diamond side of the battle field. The four cards in the Spell & Trap Card Zone two on Babs and two on Diamond. Sparking causing them useless.

"Now Jinzo destroy the face down card and I end" Diamond said.

"Oh it looks like Diamond has Babs in a corner. All Babs have left is her Magnets" The Announcer stated looking over the scene.

Babs closed her eyes, drawing her next card, the dark orange filly open her right eye and smiled seeing the last card she needs.

"I summon Beta The Magnet Warrior in attack mode. Now because I got my three Magent Warriors I can sacrifice them to summon my ace card. Valkyrion The Magna Warrior"

The powerful Magnet warrior a join together with the three others Beta, Alpha and Gamma Magnet Warriors having a power attack of 3500 attack.

"Now destroy Jinzo"

The rock metal monster used the wings to flew over to Jinzo, the lazer from Jinzo head, bouncing off Valkyrion with the warrior cutting Diamond monster in two.

Diamond Tiara: 1700 - 600

Diamond looked at her low life points, she knew this duel was over.

"I summon Four Starred Ladybug of Doom"

Babs attacked with her monster causing Diamond life points drop to zero causing Babs to win by almost a landslide.

"There we have it everypony. Babs have won this duel. I wonder who she would duel next?" The Announcer wondered before running out of the building.

Diamond Tiara stomped her hoof in frustration and left the building with the stallion forgetting the duel disk Babs held.

The CMC collected The Millennium Eye with Sweetie telling them that Babs is The Bully Chase wrote down.


> Child Like Wonder (Part One)
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sweetie Belle: 4000

Blueblood: 4000

The rematch Blueblood train and waited for is finally here. The white stallion prince looked at the filly he was dueling for the title King of Games, Sweetie Belle. Who just draw to make her first move smiling at her cards in her hoof.

"I set one monster face down in defense mode and end my turn" Sweetie Belle said, causing Blueblood to raise a eyebrow.

"Fine then I set three cards down and summon Snoww, Unlight of The Dark World in attack mode and end my turn" Blueblood said his monster rose to the field.

"I active my spell card Blessing of The Nile and set another monster in defense mode" Sweetie Belle said the water from the Nile behind her.

"I summon Newdoria in face up defense mode, your move"

"I active The Change of Heart-"

"I active my trap card Dark Bribe. This card negate the spell or trap card and destroy it. You get to draw a card when used" Blueblood explained while Sweetie watched her card get destroyed.

"Fine I set one card and end my turn" Sweetie Belle said, Blueblood smiling in victory.

"I set a monster in face down defense mode and end my turn" Blueblood said.

What is he planning? He doesn't even have a God card anymore, so what? Sweetie Belle thought before drawing her next card.

"I set a card and a monster face down and end my turn" Sweetie Belle said having three monsters on her field.

"I sacrifice my two monsters in defense mode to summon my Reign-Beaux, Overload of Dark World. Now attack her defense monsters!"

"I active Mirror Force destroying your all your monsters leaving you open" Sweetie Belle said, a shield blocking the attack and destroying Blueblood's monsters.

"Next I sacrifice all of my monsters to summon the Equestrian God, Obelisk The Tormentor in attack mode and he attacks you" Sweetie Belle said.

Blueblood: 4000 - 0

"And that game. Sorry about the God card he been in my hoof since the start and well it hard not to summon them"  Sweetie Belle said before letting out a cough.

Blueblood stood there, taken down by the Equestrian God he gave to her. The spoil prince storm away from the middle of Ponyville. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo who was watching the duel, ran over to a coughing Sweetie Belle.

"Are you alright?" Scootaloo question, beginning to get worried.

"Yeah, I'm fine just... Just... Just a-" Sweetie Belle said, before falling on the ground.

The two friends took their friend back to her home, where she was now asleep in warm bed her Millennium Puzzle on her bedside table just when Rarity enter the room.

"Good morning girls" Rarity greeted them.

Morning," they said together.

"So Sweetie is sick darn. I was hoping to show her some of my cool moves" Scootaloo said, looking at the ground in disappointment.

The two crusaders left the Carousel Boutique, with Scootaloo kicking a small rock.

"Well, I'm going to go!" Scootaloo said, causing Apple Bloom to turn at her.

"Ya do know just because Sweetie is sick doesn' mean we can' crusader together" Apple Bloom said making Scootaloo to stop.

"Meh, I still want to work on my scooting. Later Bloom!" Scootaloo said before hopping on her blue scooter and driving away.

Apple Bloom let out a small sigh, dropping her head so it looked at the dirty ground. While she made her way to the park, while something in the shadows followed her.

Meanwhile...

Blueblood storm the castle halls once again defeated by Sweetie Belle and in one attack. By the fist of the Equestrian God, Obelisk he one he used to have, with the young filly beating him this makes three times he lost to her.

Besides storming to his chambers like the spoil prince would, he open the doors leading to the throne room where Princess Celestia sat waiting for him to enter hearing range.

"Aunt Celestia, why did you call me here?" Blueblood asked, Celestia looking at him with a small smile.

"Blueblood, I'm glad you finally made a friend even of you don't treat her like one." Celestia said, looking down at him.
"Is this why you call me? Just to tell me off for not being a good friend to Sweetie Belle?" Blueblood wondered

"Yes and no. I want you yo travel to Las Pegasus after we have finish talking. I believe you will find what you're looking for there" Celestia said, confusing the prince.

"Of course, Aunt Celestia I shall go at once" Blueblood said, leaving the halls of the castle.





Apple Bloom sat in the park alone under the shade of a tree, the young Earth pony let out a bored sigh. Before someone sat next to her.

"Hey" Spike said, with a small smile causing Apple Bloom to give him the cold shoulder.

"Yes, I know you're upset with me after what I tried to do. I'm sorry about that, you'll be amazed what dumb things someponies or in my case dragons do when they like someone" Spike said, causing Apple Bloom to look at him in surprise.

"Ya like me, but why ahem nothin' special." Apple Bloom replied looking at the ground.

"What? Apple Bloom, don't be ridiculous. You're great and well I..." Spike said, causing the farmer filly to look at the drake.

"Yes" Apple Bloom said, while she waited for him to continue on.

"Who the heck are those two ponies!?" Spike finished, questioning what he saw.

Apple Bloom looked over at where he looked see a mare and a stallion both looking like Apple Bloom seen them somewhere before.

"Wait ah know those two!" Apple Bloom stated, standing up to go over there Spike following.

"Amber and Knuckles, why the heck are you two back?" Apple Bloom wondered.

The pegasus mare turn to smile, Amber the use to be Master Chase's Shadow Ponies. With her partner, the stallion Earth pony Knuckles, strong, big but if to go by Amber's words not that smart.

"Well, why else would we be here. Beside challenge The Queen of Games, where is Sweetie Belle?" Amber asked looking around.

"Ya can' she sick today. Fainted right after beatin' Blueblood. Come back 'nother time" Apple Bloom said, giving them a cold look.

Amber noticed this and let out a gasp, "Why farm filly that I don't know the name of."

"It' Apple Bloom"

"Right. So if Sweetie isn't here why don't we just duel in a tag battle Knuckles and I against you and your boyfriend" Amber said with a smirk.

Spike and Apple Bloom both blush at Amber word Spike shouting, "She's not my girlfriend!" and Apple Bloom shouting "Ahem not his girlfriend!"

"Whatever what do you say?" Amber asked once again

Apple Bloom looked at Spike who gave the filly a shrug. Apple Bloom smiled for her reply.

"We accepted ya challenge"

"Let duel"

Apple Bloom and Spike: 8000

Amber and Knuckles: 8000

"I'll start this duel with one monster in defense mode and set card face-down." Amber said with a smirk.

"My move then and I summon Luster Dragon in attack mode and attack Amber's defense monster." Spike said, the powerful blue dragon look at the hidden card before breathing fire.

Amber smile activating her trap, Backfire when Spike attacked destroying her UFO Turtle.

Apple Bloom and Spike: 8000-7500

"I active my Turtle's effect to summon another UFO Turtle to the field" Amber said.

Spike let out a small moan. The drake ends with a face-down.

"Finally my move, I summon Marauding Captain, also bringing in Exiled Force with his ability. Then he uses Exiled Force's effect to destroy Luster Dragon." Knuckles said

"Hey you promise you would stop call me names!" Knuckles yelled at her.

"No I said, I would stop calling you name if you stop being an idiot" Amber replied a cold look in her eye.

"Ah end with one face-down" Apple Bloom says slowly.

"I'll show you how this is done! I summon Solar Flare Dragon, then switches UFO Turtle to attack mode to attack Gogogo Golem destroying them both. Just to trigger Backfire and my Turtle effect to summon another Solar Flare Dragon to the field." Amber explain with another dragon rising.

Amber & Knuckles: 4100-3800

Apple Bloom: 5000-4000

Apple Bloom ends with that move.

"My move and J uses Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy that annoying Scrap-Iron Scarecrow," Amber said, activating her spell card.

Spike used his trap Dark Bribe to negate the spell and allow Amber to draw a card.

"It still my move and I used The Dark Door and summon Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4, attacking Achacha Archer." Amber said

Spike uses Scrap-Iron Scarecrow to negate the attack. She then ends with two set cards.

Apple Bloom then ends her turn with a small smile on her face.

"Well then, Black Luster Soldier attack Humhumming," Amber said, but Apple Bloom uses Maestroke effect, detaching an overlay to negate her destruction.

Amber then sets two cards, in hope to scare Spike into not attacking. Then ends she turn.

"I use spell card Cold Wave which doesn't allow either players to set or use Spells or Traps until next turn" Spike said activating his spell.

"Then I detaches Humhumming's last overlay so Maestroke can finish the game by hitting direct.

Amber & Knuckles: 1200-0

Amber stood still with Knuckles giving a shrug before turning over to Amber.

"Ha who's the idiot now?" Knuckles said, questioning the mare.

"Still you!" Amber returned causing Apple Bloom and Spike to moan.

"Ya two sound like a old married couple" Apple Bloom said causing the pair to stop talking.

Spike let out a small laugh at the shock with the two ponies leaving Amber in anger and Knuckles waved them a goodbye with a small smile.

"So ya want to go to Sugar Cube Corner?" Apple Bloom asked the drake next to her.

"Like a date?" Spike question, scratching the back of his neck.

"Yeah, ah wouldn' have asked, better not be slow"





Blueblood walked through the city of lights Las Pegasus, the unicorn covered his eyes, until a stranger called his name. Blueblood looked at the pony in the black coat, the prince couldn't even tell if this pony was a mare or a stallion.

"I know of your defeats, but there is no need to be in rage. The Key is yours and with it you can enter the mind of anypony you want" The strange pony said.

Blueblood looked down at the golden key on the table, to look up to see the stranger was gone. 

"Be able to enter minds. Well then with this I can finally learn how to defeat Sweetie Belle once and for all" Blueblood said before laughing.

To Be Continued
> Child Like Wonder (Part Two)
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blueblood held the golden key, the bright sun shine off of it. Blueblood smile, but still wonder how this strange key could enter other ponies minds? It was strange but he kept this key, the light around the golden key made it move down.

A brown string moved around as it tied up making the key easy to wear around his neck. Blueblood smile seeing himself in the mirror, combing his mane to make it perfect once again. The Key around his neck didn't look too bad ether, showing his perfect shining teeth in the mirror before leaving.

All while a pony watched him from the shadows a pair of strange red eyes looked at him, watched him moved and walk. With the sun moving the only thing the bright warm sun show was a strange golden ring around the pony neck.

The brown jacket covered the pony whole body, her horn glow light pink trying to get The Key around Blueblood's neck. No matter how powerful The Millennium Ring is, this strange pony needs all seven of The Millennium Items for the plan to work.

The Millennium Key around Blueblood's neck just wouldn't move, no matter how strong The Millennium Ring made this pony. The Key had already bond with the spoil prince, meaning it was a lost cause. The pony kept walking bumping into Blueblood causing him to look at the mare in anger.

"Watch where you're going!" He cried out, not able to see his or her face.

"Little common if I saw that face he or she will be sending the rest of they life in a cell" Blueblood muttered, before going on his chariot.

The fly back to Canterlot was long and somewhat boring, but anything is better then sitting on a dirty train with ponies wouldn't know a shower if it hit them on the head.

But Blueblood soon got there, with the Key around his neck safe and sound he entered the room of Chase. The stallion sleeping peacefully, Blueblood smile putting the Key to his head and turning it.

The place was dark and empty, Blueblood looked around the lifeless land where only darkness rule and everything is dead nothing lived or was around.

"What is this place?" Blueblood question, looking around in a panic.

Chase step out from the darkness, confuse on how Blueblood was here but never the less he answered.

"My mind. After being under the control of darkness so long my mind is nothing more then that" Chase said, looking at Blueblood.

"How did you find The Millennium Key?!" Chase asked in shock, looking at the golden key around Blueblood's neck.

"You must give it to Sweetie Belle!"

"Or, because I can enter minds. I'll enter Sweetie Belle's find her weakness and defeat her in a duel once and for all" Blueblood said, grinning.

"What, no! Don't be crazy, The Millennium Items must only be use to save the world. Not for personal gain, anyway no minds are alike. You have no idea what Sweetie's mind would be like!" Chase said, trying to talk Blueblood out of it.

Blueblood looked at the golden key and let out a laugh.

"I'm going into a filly mind, what the worst that could happen?" Blueblood wondered with a small laugh.

"You could loss your mind. Be clouded with the sane darkness I have. Revenge is never the right thing to do, Sweetie gave you the one thing no pony has or would dare. Do you really want to take that away? Lose it forever, and be alone once more?" Chase asked, Blueblood's eyes fell.

The white coat unicorn wanted to answer but fear that he couldn't. Something was holding his tongue, or was he just afraid to speak what he thought was right, even if it wasn't right in the eyes of other ponies?

"Well I gotta learn, maybe not to defeat her but what she thinks about me. I may not even be her friend" Blueblood said with a hiss.

"Well then, if you must then you must. But once you step into The Mind Scape you'll exit as somepony new" Chase said, causing Blueblood to look away.

"Think about exiting and a door shall appear. If you break anything in Sweetie's mind it will be lost forever" Chase said before Blueblood left the dark and empty mind.





Scootaloo continued to throw a red ball at the wall of the club house bored out of her mind while the red ball bounce off the wall and back into her hoof. Apple Bloom kept trying to read her book, her face getting more and more enraged by the minute at Scootaloo throws that curse red ball.

"Would ya knock it off already!" Apple Bloom cried out

"What? There's nothing else to do, unless you want to duel?" Scootaloo said, looking over at Apple Bloom.

"Ah left ma cards at home. No need to have them with me at all times." Apple Bloom replied causing Scootaloo to ket out a bored sigh.

"There's nothing to do!" She cried out

"Ya do know we don' need Sweetie with us to be The Cutie Mark Crusaders?" Apple Bloom question

Scootaloo paid no mind and kept on throwing her red ball over and over at the wall. Apple Bloom eye began to twitch at the annoying red ball hitting the wall again.

"Fine! Ya want Sweetie, we'll pay her a visit" Apple Bloom said enraged grabbing Scootaloo's hoof and dragging her outside.

The two friends walk through Ponyville smiling at the ponies they pass on the way to where Sweetie Belle rested. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo enter the Carousel Boutique, saying hello to Rarity working on a dress.

The two crusaders open the door to pause to look at Blueblood who just blink in reply.

"How did ya get in here?" Apple Bloom asked

"Well I am a unicorn. Teleport, simple enough if you don't mind I need to see something else" Blueblood said

Apple Bloom and Scootaloo rushed over to Blueblood who put The Millennium Key onto Sweetie Belle's forehead, the crusaders grab the prince before he turn the golden key causing the three to get pull into Sweetie Belle's Mind.





The blue sky fill the land with three ponies two fillies and a stallion falling to the ground at high speeds screaming. The three soon landed on the bounce road made out of a Bouncy Castles.

Apple Bloom raised her head, rubbing her eyes by the bright singing sun high in the sky.

"This place hurts ma eyes" Apple Bloom said

Scootaloo stood up looking around, "Why is there pop 80's music playing in the background, where are we?"

Blueblood stood up, trying to get his stand back having a hard tine trying to stand on the colourful road.

"Welcome to Sweetie Belle's Mind World" Blueblood said

The road the three walked on was made out of sweet colourful candy, the coukds high in the sky pink cotton candy. A giant yellow dog walked the streets, off in the park a stuff animal tree sang and with a stuff animal teddy bear acted like a poilce officer moving the little gumdrops that are coming home from Candy School.

"So this is Sweetie's mind. It more colourful then I thought" Scootaloo said, looking around at the moving building.

"Yeah, but if this is Sweetie's mind tgen where is she?" Apple Bloom asked, taking in the sites.

"Well she as a motto, but I don't understand it" Blueblood said looking at the wall.

Scootaloo and Apple Bloom read the motto on the wall, cover in gold abke to be readed by anyone. "Together forever, I will never leave your side. Because we'll be friends, forever"

Apple Bloom turn to get Scootaloo a smirk, "An' ya said she doesn' care"

Scootaloo chose to ingore her friend as they walk through Sweetie's mind, with a dark cave far off from town.

"I remember that day, Sweetie and I was playing around until we got lost in a cave, we got found fifteen minutes later. But Sweetie was so afraid of the dark that I have to calm her down by giving her my necklace saying that as long as you have this. Nothing can hurt you" Scootaloo said, smiling back on the memory.

"Ah don' see her wearing it, but ah did remember her bring a necklace to our CMC slumber party" Apple Bloom said

The three walked of the candy road to the yellow brick road with giant trees able to say three words or the ducks that are able to grow or shink down because of the moon with a star grave into it.

Apple Bloom looked off to her left seeing a normal nothing colourful or special museum.

"A museum?" Apple Bloom wondered, the three entering it.

They looked around at the objects on glass case. Scootaloo stop to look at a small brown jacket, the words on the gold plate. "First Meeting With My Best Friend"

"This must be her memories. From since she was born and now, it seems like the ones she treasures most have gold plating" Blueblood explained, looking at the browse, silver and golds plates on different memories.

"We best get out of here, ah don' want to make her forget anythin'" Apple Bloom said, with Scootaloo giving a nod in agurement.

The three exit the Memony Museum. Soon reaching a wall blocking half of her mind. Stone with a huge eye, like the one on The Millennium Puzzle, with a single locked down.

"Huh?" Scootaloo said, looking around just seeing everything just stopped.

"Why did ya want to into Sweetie's mind?" Apple Bloom wondered

"I wanted to know about how she beats me, try to find her secrets" Blueblood explain causing Scootaloo to laugh.

"Please you just bad at the game. Heck I bet Bloom and I cam beat you" Scootaloo said, causing Apple Bloom to looked at her friend.

"Ya do know he's the strongest duelist in Canterlot" Apple Bloom said, with a hint of worry in her voice.

"I accepted your challenge. To make it fair I'll have eight thousand life points while both of you's have four thousand" Blueblood explain a duel disk appairing on his arm.

"We're in the mind, we can do what ever we want"

Scootaloo and Apple Bloom both made duel disk appair on their legs, picking their normal set of cards.

Blueblood: 8000

Apple Bloom: 8000

Scootaloo: 4000

"I start by setting one monster in defense mode and two cards face-down.

"Time to lose, I summons Sonic Bird which adds White Dragon Ritual to my hoof, which I uses to sacrifice the Blade Knight in her hoof to summon Paladin of the White Dragon." She explains with monster being summon and being gone right after.

"I then tributes Paladin to use his effect to summon my star player, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my deck. Your move Bloom" Scootaloo finished.

"Ah summon ma Achacha Archer, dealin' 500 points of damage."

Blueblood: 8000-7500

"Ah then activate the effect of Achacha Chanbara, who can be special summoned if ma opponent takes effect damage, and deals another 400 points of damage."

Blueblood: 7500-7100

Blueblood didn't looked worried while Scootaloo have a rare card and he got his life points almost down by a thousand. While Apple Bloom ended with two face-downs.

"Well I don't see how Sweetie has trouble with ether of yous. I use my Dark World Dealings, allowing each player to draw one card then discard one. The card I discards is Snoww, Unlight of Dark World, who lets me add Gates of the Dark World to my hoof." Blueblood said, getting a little bored.

"I then use it and it's effect is to banish my Snoww, then to discard Silvaa, Warlord of Dark World and draw again. This allows Silvaa to be special summoned."

He then flips up Zure, Knight of Dark World and hits Achacha Archer with Silvaa.

Apple Bloom: 4000-2600

Then Sonic Bird with Zure.

Scootaloo: 4000-3300

He then ends with that, with a small smirk.

"I set a monster and then Blue-Eyes attack Zure," Scootaloo said causing Blueblood to laugh.

"Sorry little one, my trap now kicks in" Blueblood said

Before Scootaloo could call it off, Blue Eyes fired only to run into Hate Buster. A trap that destroys both Zure and Blue-Eyes and deals damage to Scoot's equal to Blue-Eye's attack power.

Scootaloo: 3300-300

Scootaloo ends with two face-downs, going to Apple Bloom.

"Ah summons Gagaga Magician and uses his effect to change his level to 3, allowing her to overlay him and Achacha Chanbara to summon Muzurhythm the String Djinn." Apple Bloom said

Apple Bloom ordered her monster to attack Silvaa, detaching an overlay to double his points for the battle.

Blueblood: 7100-6700

"Ah then use my trap call of the Haunted to bring back Gagaga Magician to hit him direct.

Blueblood: 6700-5200

Apple Bloom ends with that and a small grin on her face.

"I use Dark World Lightning to destroy Scootaloo set monster and discard Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World. Then by his effect, when discarded, destroys Muzurhythm." Blieblood explained getting the field clear.

He then uses his field spell to banish Zure, discard Broww, Huntsman of Dark World and draw. Then Broww lets him draw again.

"I then summon Beige, Vanguard of Dark World, then returns him to my hand to return Grapha to the field."

He tries to hit Scootaloo direct, but she uses her Call of the Haunted to bring back Blue-Eyes. So he redirects the attack to Gagaga Magician, but Apple Bloom use Half Unbreak, meaning Gagaga Magician can't be destroyed this turn and she takes half damage.

Apple Bloom: 2600-1850

Blueblood with a eye roll ends his turrn with a face-down.

"I active the Change of Heart," Scootaloo said

Bueblood use his Dark Deal, which allows him to pay 1000 life points and change the effect of the card to “The opponent discards one card.”

Blueblood: 5200-4200

So since he has to discard a card now, he discards Reign-Beaux Overlord of Dark World, who then special summons and destroys all of their monsters.

Scootaloo couldn't believe it, then she ends with that.

"Ah summon ma Gogogo Giant, then switches him to defense mode to summon Gogogo Golem in defense, then uses the Double Defender spell card, endin' ma turn"

"Finally my turn again. I use my Gates to banish Silvaa, discarding Goldd, Wuu-Lord of Dark World to draw a card. Then Goldd is special summoned with his own effect. I then use Escape the Dark Dimension to summon back Silvaa and normal summons Beige, Vanguard of Dark World." Blueblood explain, his field covered with powerful monsters.

"I active my trap card Needle Ceiling," Scootaloo call out, but Blueblood counters using his Dark Bride, allowing Beige to beat her.

Scootaloo: 300-0

Then he has Goldd attack Gogogo Golem, but Double Defender negates the attack. Then Silvaa hit Golem, but Golem can't be destroyed once per round while in defense. So Reign-Beaux finishes him and Grapha destroys Gogogo Giant, finally ending with a face-down.

"Don' ya worry Scoots, Ah can still beat him" Apple Bloom said, sharing a smile to her friend.

"Ah set a monster and a card and ends."

"Really that all!" Scootaloo cried out

"Have ya seen his field?" Apple Bloom returned

"Let finish this, I attack," Blueblood said

"Well high and mighty duelist. Ah use Mirror Force to destroys them all." Apple Bloom said, with Scootaloo chearing.

"Fine, I use Gateway to the Dark World to bring back Grapha and attack your defense monster regardless, destroying Zubaba Knight." Blueblood said, causing Apple Bloom to get enraged.

"Ah use Pot of Greed everypony knows what this does. Ah then summon Gogogo Gorham, then tributes him to summon Gogogo Golem-Golden form who comes out with double the tribute monster's attack points. This is a special summon. If ya don' understand"

Gogogo Golem-Golden Form ATK: 4600 DEF: 1500

"Any battle damage from him is halved but he can still beat Grapha." Apple Bloom said with a smirk

Blueblood: 4200-3400

"Yeah, you show him Bloom!"

"I once agsin use my Gates to banish Goldd, discarding Kahkki, Guerilla of Dark World to draw. Kahkki's effect now triggers, which can destroy any monster. I pick your Golem" Blueblood said, trying to destroy Gogogo Golem-Golden Form, but the giant just loses 1500 ATK points to negate his effect.

Gogogo Golem-Golden Form ATK: 4600-3100 DEF: 1500

He then sets one monster and ends.

"Ah now summons Gagaga Guardan, he attacks ya defense monster." Apple Bloom said, attacking the face-down card.

The defense monster is Sangan, who adds Ceruli, Guru of Dark World to his hoof just with Gogogo Golem-Golden Form to hit direct.

Blueblood: 3400-1850

Apple Bloom ends with a smirk, Scootaloo still cheering for her friend, but disappointed that she couldn't help her.

"I use the spell Forces of Darkness to add Kahkki and Broww to my hoof, then use the Gates to banish Silvaa to discard Ceruli to draw." Blueblood explain, moving the cards around with his magic.
Then Ceruli's effect is triggered, but then negated by Golden form.

Gogogo Golem-Golden Form ATK: 3100-1600 DEF: 1500

Blueblood smiles at the giant monster now weak from its own effect.

"I normal summon Broww to attack Gogogo to take him out. Once and for all" Blueblood said, still smirking.

Apple Bloom:1850-1750

He then ends, causing Apple Bloom to be annoyed.

"Ah summon ma Gogogo Ghost and overlays ma monsters to summon Number 39: Utopia to attack Broww." Apple Bloom said, causing her mighty number monster to rise to the battle field.

Blueblood: 1850-1050

She ends, smiling at a cross Blueblood while Scootaloo clap.

"I use the Gates effect to banish Ceruli to discard Kahkki to draw, Kahkki  destroying Utopia."

"Then I summon Scarr, Scout of Dark World. But because of his effect, the monster bounces back to me so I can summon Grapha, who finishes the game" Blueblo

Apple Bloom: 1750-0

Blueblood smiled in victory causing Apple Bloom to give Scootaloo a "I told you so" look.

The wall behind them stood still, but the eye seem to look at them, staring at the three. The eye that watch from abrove shined causing them all to leave Sweetie Belle's Mind.





"Stupid, stupid, stupid!" A voice rang through the empty building that stood by Ponyville.

The cloak pony banged they hoof onto the wall. The place is full with spider webs, the lights never work and the floor look like it was close to break.

The glow of pink lit the room, the dark jacket thrown across the room. Standing in front of a dirty mirror, The Millennium Ring hang around her light blue coat, she then storm off after seeing what the hood did to her long silver mane.

"I'll get those items, if it the last thing The Great and Powerful Trixie does!" Trixie scream into the night sky, the bright moon showing her more clearly.

A Few Months Ago...

The cold and stormy night blew through the empty woods, tree began to shake violently with animals running in terror at what is happening to their home. The home that can easily be move by a pony stood, shaking st the high strong winds with trees hitting the windows.

Inside, a light blue unicorn mare rubbed her eyes. Tired of a long day of trying to find something to help her reform herself to make herself Great and powerful once again. The Alicorn Amulet help her gain the power that she need to have to feel like she was special again, until the dark magic full her body and control her mind.

Her whole home began to shake at the power, Trixie left to see a grand stone castle high in sky to just fall back to the ground and get destroyed. Three lights fill the night sky, one red, one blue and the other yellow. These three soon disappeared in a few seconds.

Trixie rubbed her head, thinking that this was all because of her lack of sleep for the past two days. Giving a shrug the show mare walked back into her home to try and rest up for the night. Just when she closed her eyes, those three lights appeared again, Trixie began to roll in her sleep hoping to get those strange looking lights out of her head.

The morning couldn't come soon enough, where Trixie went outside to see how bad the storm was she saw that what she once thought was a bad dream was real.

Trixie walked to the fall castle of a king, of what? Trixie didn't know or didn't want to know. But in the piles of stone and brick, a small shimmer of light caught Trixie eye.

She turn to look at the strange looking light, she draw herself near it, Trixie just couldn't take her eyes off the strange object that she was now glue to. Her mind and body told her her to go back and ignore it.

But she just couldn't listen, it was like a more powerful fill her head and control her to move even when she doesn't. Stopping where the light was Trixie began to dig it out, see all her troubles was for a strange gold ring with spikes hanging on the bottom with a triangle in the middle with a eye on triangle center.

It was so strange, Trixie took The Ring to her home to look it over. Having never seen anything like it before, it was so simple, but so hard to understand. She just found it and now she feels powerful, she feels great, she feels unstoppable.

Now it hung around her neck by a piece of brown string. Trixie felt different, but at the same time the same. Thoughts fill her mind, pictures of a Puzzle, a Eye, a Necklace, Rod, Key, Ring, and a Scale.

The Millennium Ring feed her the knowledge Trixie wanted so badly. She learn what they was called and how they draw near the one who means to hold it.

The Queen, The Bully, The Prince, The Flightless, The Mare, The Gamer, The Country. These seven and only these seven will be able to find the Millennium Items.

"So, can I take these items for my own?" Trixie question out loud.

"Yes. All you need to do is defeat the main holder. Then whatever Item they hold will become yours" a voice echo through her head said.

Trixie smile grew, she could feel the dark energy coming from the Ring. The show mare couldn't careless, find these ponies, find the Items easily defeat them and gain all the power she could want to rule Equestria.

"But first Trixie needs a deck"

"Oh great, out of all Mares. I have to get one who only speaks in the third person" The voice said, Trixie's eyes looked up to the early morning sky.

"Are you making fun of The Great and Powerful Trixie!?"

"Oh no. I wouldn't dare try to fight you" The voice said in a mocking voice.

"Fine then, but Trixie would like a name if she will be hearing your annoying voice." Trixie said, her eyes move down to the Ring.

"Your one to talk, I'm all great and powerful. Blah" the voice said, still mocking her.

"Would you tell me your name already!" Trixie yelled out, the blue unicorn becoming more enrage.

"It has been so long, but I do have a name. You can call me Scarlett"

"That's so creative" Trixie said with a eyeroll.

"And Trixie is! Now hurry up and get what ever tools need to get The Millennium Items!" Scarlett cried out

"Yes, yes Trixie knows just the place" She said, her eyes glow in the shadows that the sun created.





The door bell rang, causing the shop kept to look at Trixie picking up a duel disk with her magic. Her Millennium Ring hide under her magician cape, while she walked uo to the stallion behide the counter.

"Trixie would like to know where are your magician decks?"

"I can't believe, we're going to get the Items that could rule the world. By playing a card game meant for fouls" Scarlett said, causing Trixie to bit her lip.
"Sorry sold out. The only thing we have left is this Pendulum deck

"Fine, Trixie would just take that then" Trixie said paying for the duel disk and deck.

"Now what?" Scarlett asked, Trixie walked back outside of Fillydephia.

A newspaper hit her leg, causing the show mare to lift it up with unocorn magic, a smile grew on her lips.

"We wait until the time is right" Trixie said.



Sweetie Belle: The New Queen of Games



"It a shame they got rid of newspapers in Ponyville"

"What?"

"Nothing"
