A few years ago, while on archeological dig, in Saddle Arabia, a young stallion named Maximilian Pegasus discover the ruins of an ancient civilization. As he ventured deep within the tombs of the lost pharaoh, he depictions of ponies battling each other with powerful monsters. After seeing many the depictions, he decide to creature a game in which modern day ponies could battle each other just as the ponies of old. He called the game “Duel Monsters.”

It wasn't long before he creation became popular among ponies. Soon, Maximilian spent countless bits into making a portal version of the Duel Arena, so the ponies could duel any and everywhere. He called his creation Duel Discs. Before long, it was decided to hold a tournament once year to determine who would earn the title of “King/Queen of Games”.

This year's tournament will be different as an ancient force lurks in the shadows that will threaten all of Equestria. What will happen when a young stallion named Star Driver and his friends discover that there's more at stake in this tournament than deciding who is the best duelists in Equestria?

While most of the Decks will contain actual Yu-Gi-Oh! cards from the original series, GX, and 5D's, Zexal, the majority of the OC's Deck will contain original cards I've created.

Filthy Rich has a problem. His daughter, Diamond Tiara, keeps breaking her promises to treat her classmates with more respect. In fact, she doesn't even seem to really understand what a promise is.

But how can he make such a spoiled, materialistic little filly as Diamond Tiara see the value of a promise?

With money, of course!

Just as Luna has Nightmare Moon, so too does Celestia have another entity in her mind. An entity with one aspiration:

Celestia and Luna have been sisters for more than a millennium. If only that made things easier!

Will poor housekeeping lead to the destruction of Equestria?

Will Spike ever find true love while wearing cupcake shaped hats?

Will Twilight Sparkle ever learn to play the banjo?

(No banjos were harmed in the making of this fiction. If you want to find out the answers to those last two questions, you'll probably have to go read something else.)

This story is canon within the Chase-Verse.

Each night that her foalsitter Cadance comes over, filly Twilight Sparkle can hear ghosts in the air vents coming to gobble her up.

The only thing scarier than the ghosts is her father's raised eyebrow.
