//------------------------------// // Tournament, Day 2: Lost Memories // Story: The Tournament of Destiny // by goldenrise365 //------------------------------// Gold had gathered the group around an open portal. "Okay everyone. Are you all ready to finally face Shadow Master?" "We're ready," said Burst. "Let's take this guy down," said Star. "Its the end of the line for him," said Ace. "Then let's do this. Charge!" Everyone ran into the portal. -------------- The light cleared from Gold's eyes. He looked around, and saw that he was standing in a patch of clouds. "Where am I?" "Your within the memory realm," said a voice. Gold turned to see two people walking up. One was a girl with hair like the stars, and the other was a guy who looked like Ace. "Who are you two?" "I am Nightmare Moon, but you can call me Moon," said the girl with a smile. "And I am Dark Ice, but I go by Ice," said the guy with his own smile. "Nice to meet you two, I am...." "We know who you are," said Moon. "Really?" "Yeah. We were once known on Earth until Shadow Master captured us. He wiped our friends', and my brothers', memories," said Ice. "And Burst doesn't even remember that I exist," said Moon. She began to cry a bit. Gold went over and comforted Moon. "Don't worry. You'll see him again." Gold looked around the area. "We're going to make it outta here." "We tried," said Ice. "There's no way out of here." "Well you never had me here before. I specialize in the impossible." "Right now, I'm ready for anything," said Ice with a determined look. "Me too." Moon wiped away her tears. "So, what can we do?" "First, we need some fire power. Let's summon our monsters. Crimson Dragon." "Queen Nyx," said Moon. "Red Dragon Archfiend," said Ice. The three monsters appeared. Red and Nyx both bowed before Crimson. "What are you two doing?" asked Crimson. "Its an honor to meet one of the three supreme legendary dragons," said Nyx. "We are humbled by you," said Red. "Listen, you two don't have to bow or act like I'm royalty. We're all friends here. Let's work together, and get out of here." "Right. Maybe I'll see Blue Eyes again," said Nyx. "Well someone can't wait to see their boyfriend," taunted Red. "Oh, don't even start. I see how you look at Archfiend Queen," said Nyx. "It doesn't help that Indigo also has an Archfiend deck," defended Red. "Sounds like they do this a lot," whispered Crimson. "Yeah, by the way, have you asked out Solar Flare yet?" "Not yet. We've both been busy." "Got it." Gold stepped forward. "Now that that's out of the way. We have to find a weakened part of this world." "I think I know a spot," said Ice. He led the group over to a spot where the clouds were really thin. "Ok. This should work." Gold turned to the three monsters. "All you three have to do is fire a combined blast at that spot." "Can do." The three of them prepared a blast. The energies combined mid-flight and hit the spot. There was an explosion. Once the smoke cleared, the group saw the Shadow Realm. Wisp of white energy entered the realm. A few wisps went to Gold. "Now I remember you two. Burst has all the luck." "Actually, Pinkie had shown interest in you too," said Moon. "Thanks for the info, but right now, we got a Master to deal with." "Right!" The three jumped onto Crimson and rode off.
