Twilight crosses the mirror portal to pursue Sunset Shimmer after the theft of the Element of Magic. She finds herself in a world of odd two-legged creatures, and for some reason they're all obsessed with a card game called "Duel Monsters." Twilight soon learns that the only way to get her crown back is to win it in the school's semi-annual duel tournament, of which Sunset has been the reigning champion three rounds running. The tournaments have divided the school, and split up a group of five friends similar to Twilight's friends in Equestria.

Twilight now faces her biggest adventure yet. She must master Duel Monsters, reconcile these other versions of her friends, and defeat Sunset to win the Autumn Crown. And she has only three days to pull it off. It's time to duel!

With her ascendance into an alicorn princess, what Twilight Sparkle thought would be a simple royal summit to the Crystal Empire goes horribly wrong when Celestia's wayward former student Sunset Shimmer steals the Element of Magic into another world. Equestria's newest princess must hurry and get back her element before nefarious forces within this new world can use it to wreak havoc.

Forces that go beyond the notice of this world's inhabitants, bound within a game tied to the very history and fabric of this new world. The name of the game is Duel Monsters.

An alternate Yu-Gi-Oh take on Equestria Girls. After feeling uneasy about using someone else's established setting for my previous anthology, I decided to put my own spin on the concept, and thus we have Equestria Girls: Duel Monsters.

Set in an alternate universe where Duel Monsters is a worldwide pastime, aspiring duelist Alex Yuwell's life turns upside down when another planet appears orbiting around Earth. What happens there will change the course of human, and for that matter, pony, history forever.

WARNING: This story is completely separate from my Yu-Gi-Oh! Friendship is Magic story, which I have come to realize was a poorly formatted Mary-Sue fest. I want this story to be judged on its own merits.

About the picture, it was drawn and colored my me with pencil and crayon in about 2 hours (ponies were traced on a computer screen). I realize I'm not the best artist (heck, I'm no artist at all), but I wanted to have some image to represent my story.

Rated everyone, but features simulated monster violence and some mild language.

In Canterlot High School, every student is wild over the world's most popular trading card game: Duel Monsters! Every day, players of the card game, known as "Duelists", go head-to-head to see who among them is the best around. Among the Duelists in attendance at CHS, one of the best is a young teenager named Sunset Shimmer, a girl from another world...

Another crossover series, this time combining the worlds of Equestria Girls and the Yu-Gi-Oh! series. The series is basically a retelling of the story of Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, from the point of view of the EG cast, taking place between Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games.

The story follows Sunset Shimmer, who is credited as the strongest Duelist in Canterlot High School. However, her skills are put to the test when she unwittingly releases a dangerous power into her world; a power that alters the egos of those that come into contact with it. Now Sunset has tasked herself with trying to return that power back to where it came from, hopefully before that power creates a real world crisis. She'll need the help of her friends, and the power of her Deck, to see her through the tough battles ahead...

Though the story is based mostly on Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL's story, I have taken a few creative liberties, such as allowing a more heavy use of Synchro and Fusion Monsters in addition to Xyz Monsters (which are still mostly the main focus). Although none of the new Pendulum Monsters (or Link Monsters) will appear, expect to see a few cards from Arc-V (and VRAINS) to pop up.

All Duels shown use the current rules and rulings (excluding Link Summoning) at the time they were written. If you need a more detailed explanation of the game's rules, go to yugioh-card.com to find a digital version of the rulebook, as well as other vital information. With all that said...

IT'S TIME TO DUEL!

Updates whenever I can finish a new Rank, always updating on the last full week of a month.

UPDATE: RANK 62 - Part 2 of a 2-part episode - had been posted!

When a mysterious Crystal Empire appears in northern Equestria, its surge of powerful magic causes Yuma Tsukumo, Astral, Reginald Kastle, Kite and Hart Tenjo, Orbital 7, and Tori Meadows to be flung from their home world and into the alternate universe where Alex Yuwell resides.

After befriending Alex, Twilight, and the rest of their friends, Yuma and his friends are sent to assist Twilight in saving the Crystal Empire from the ancient evil that once cursed it so they can return home.

The Zexal characters here have their English names (because why would Japanese people be speaking fluent English?), but they shall be based off the Japanese version (mainly because there's more in terms of character development here), so rest assured, no, "I'm feeling the flow!" will be uttered from anyone's lips.

This is not so much a spin-off as it is a continuation of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Equus series, much like how Bonds Beyond Time was relevant to 5D's overall story. You will need to read Yu-Gi-Oh! Equus in order to better understand this fic.

Rated Everyone for mild language and simulated monster violence.

This story is a sequel to Past Sins

When pursuing Starlight, Twilight and Spike experienced variances of Equestria, and saw how the river of time could have been different. Now, Starlight has moved in with Twilight, Nyx, and Spike and has begun her studies in friendship. To thank those who have helped her embrace friendship once more, Starlight has created an enchantment that allows the castle’s map table to let anyone glimpse other variances of reality.

The power to ask “what if,” can be a source of great amusement… but for some, the hypotheticals are haunting reminders of what could have been.

2012, the year the world was going to end. I really didn't think much of it, to me the world would be the same no matter what happened. Earth is violent and lacking real heroes. Maybe in my sleep I'll dream of a better world if this one does die.

... Oh that's new, God's in my dream.

Crossover with Kingdom hearts. Story that gave me the idea here and the story that inspired that one is here!

There are consequences to every action, but we can't always predict what they will be. I stay up at night wondering what I could have done differently, but I've already paid the price for my actions. All I can do now is deal with the consequences, and I've got several great friends to help me do it.
