//------------------------------// // Chapter 12- Time for some answers! // Story: Equestria Crossover Confusion 2 HFC- Time to Duel! // by Garfield23 //------------------------------// “Yugi! Watch out!” Twilight yelled as a monster launched an attack against Yugi, Yugi turned his head just in time to dodge it but the attacker smirked “Who are you?!” as the man began to laugh as he looked at the two “Is that a duel monster?!” “OH, you must be the Twilight Sparkle I was send to destroy! They call me Marik Ishtar and Yugi owes me a nice dish of revenge!” Marik boasted as he licked his lips “I also have some party favours for you little, Twilight! Kill her, my putties!” “I don’t get it we already defeated, Lord Zedd! How’d you get his putties!?” Twilight declared as the putties surged forward “This shouldn’t be possible!?” she quickly dodged round two putties before kicking them and gasped as Whis suddenly appeared above them “What’s going on Whis?!” “Well confession time, after we take care of your new friends” Whis quickly said as he dodged an attack fired at him by another new comer “Oh, I guess it’s time to see how powerful you are, Mr Darkseid and here I thought you didn’t make friends easy but look at all your new friends” “Laugh while you can, clown! For now your doom is here!” Darkseid declared as he flew up to Whis and said “You and your clown of a master thought we were fooled! We know what you have been planning and now for the insult of defying us! You will die!” Darkseid threw a punch at Whis as Whis opened his mouth to reply but as the attack reached it’s target, Darkseid felt all the movement in his body stop “What?! What sorcery is this?!” “You activated my trap! Spellbinding circle!” Yugi declared as Darkseid began to struggle “So it worked!” “Well done, Yugi but this area is overrun! Fall back and regroup with the others!” Whis ordered as he looked at Marik and the army that now threatened to surround them “We’d be better off united than divided!” he then added “I have to check on Equestria and a few other places while I'm at it!” and with that he disappeared. “Celtic Guardian! Defence mode!” Yugi declared as he grabbed Twilight’s arm “As much as I don’t want to agree with Whis. He's right! Come on!” the two began to run but quickly realised they were surrounded but they weren’t alone a blast of green energy struck the putties forcing them back. Turning Yugi and Twilight found themselves looking at Stardust Dragon “Akiza, Yusei, Crow! Come on! We need to find Joey and the others!” Yugi said as the three other duellists ran up to them. “Hope you weren’t planning to hog all the fun to yourselves?” Jaden said as he walked up with Mai and Alexis “Come on let’s give this lot a butt kicking they’ll never forget! Hope no one objects to me going first! Come fourth Elemental Heroes Neos, Flame wingman and Tempest!” Jaden’s three Elemental heroes appeared and began to attack the putties. Yuesi smiled “To be fair my Stardust is already out but I think Nitro Warrior and Turret Warrior want a go!” he held the cards up and the two monsters appeared who in turn started to fight too. “Well my Celtic Guardian was out before either of you two monsters but here let me add Buster Blader, Dark Magician and Summoned Skull!” as the monster appeared Yugi order “Buster slash, Dark magic attack and Lighting strike!” “Oh Alexis, can you believe they’re leaving us out? I think my Harpies and their Pet Dragon might have something to say about that!” Mai said as her monsters appeared alongside the others. “Quite rude, Jaden but what the heck I’ll help!” Alexis said as she held up two cards “Cyber Blader and Cyber Prima! Show them how it’s done!” the two minsters appeared and began to attack. “I guess it’s my turn then?” Akiza asked turning to Crow “Okay Black Rose Dragon is the only card I need!” the dragon roared as it was summoned and began to fire at the putties with a satisfying roar “Oh yeah! Come on Crow, Twilight!” “Well I guess birds of a feather and all but make room for Blackwing Armour Master, Blackwing Dragon and Blackwing Bora the spear!” Crow said as he summoned his monster “Toast them guys!” Twilight looked at her deck trying to figure out which cards would be best to summon but she still had to bear in mind she was a beginner “I…I guess these monsters Gokaioh, Battle Fever Robo and Magiking!” she looked at the monsters as they appeared “Okay! Attack with everything you’ve got!” she declared. However the giant robot monsters didn’t move an inch “They need us! Please, help us!” Marik began laughing cruelly as he walked closer “You don’t have the spirit needed to command the respect of those monsters. However with my new deck, I now have power beyond what I dreamed of! I’d suggest you tell your friend, Sailor Jupiter about who my master captured and enslaved” he held up five cards and declared “I summon Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus and Sailor Mini Moon!” as the five heroines appeared, all could see a black collar around their necks and their eyes shone a bright red “I look forward to enslaving Jupiter next!” “Those are Sailor Jupiter’s friends. Let them go!” Twilight yelled enraged and turned to her monsters “You have to save the scouts! Please they need us! These worlds need you! Please….they’re our friends!” the three giant robots suddenly looked down at her “I believe in you!” “Enough! Kill her, Sailor Mars!” Marik hissed as Mars stepped forward, she was trying her best to resist but her body was not within her control and tears began to leak down her face “What are you waiting for!? Kill her!” “For….For…give.…me!” Mars whispered as she prepared her attack “Mars Fire Sniper!” the fire attack formed as she took aim but she still tried to resist “Please giant robots….help her! NO!” the attack shot towards Twilight who covered her face but Battle Fever Robo blocked the attack “YES! Girls their attack power is higher than ours! Attack!” Mars said smiling. “Wait no!” Marik screamed realising that what Mars said was true “I won’t let you!” but as he said it the scouts ran towards the giant robots “If they’re destroyed! My life points will drop to zero!” he wasn’t wrong the attack points of each scout was 2500, with the exception of Sailor Moon who had 3000 but Battle Fever Robo’s attack clocked in at 4500! The two other robots had attack powers of 3500. So the scouts charged straight for the Battle Fever robo. “Wait don’t! If your destroyed! Won’t you die?!” Yugi shouted trying to warn the scouts “There’s got to be another way!” “There is!” Yusei said “They won’t die, of we send them to the next dimension but do any of us have such a card!” Jaden smiled “Doctor Banner did, so I activate the trap Macro Cosmos!” as each scout was defeated they were drawn into the portal “Alright, it’s lucky I still had that card in my pocket” Jaden gave the thumps up. Marik however looked furious “N…No not again! This can’t be happening!” he looked at the cards on his duel disc “There is one way to win!” he reached for the Sailor Moon card clearly intending to rip it up. “Not so fast!” Yusei yelled as he ran forward and kicked Marik in the stomach “Akiza help me get his deck!” Akiza nodded and turned to her dragon, who’s thick vines wrapped Marik, giving Yusei a moment to grab the deck “Alright!” “Well done, Yusei! I activate the trap, Return from the different dimension!” Twilight declared as the scouts returned to the field “It’s over Marik! We’ve won!” Marik began to laugh weakly as he began to turn to ash “Oh you think so….I may have failed this time but my Master will win! You have one a small skirmish but not the war!” his left eye was the last part to disappear but he ended with “Equestria will be the first to fall to my Master!” “What are you talking about?! Equestria lies in ruins!” Twilight said confused as to why Marik was making such a weird declaration about Equestria falling but then it dawned on her and she whispered to herself “Could it be possible that Equestria is unharmed?” “Twilight!” Fluttershy suddenly ran up looking out of breath and Basil Stag Hare standing behind her fighting off the putties as best he could “Lord Aizen has returned! Joey and others needs your help!” she explained as she ducked a flying puttie, that was send flying by Buster Blader and he added “Please! Come on!” “Battle Fever Robo! Please help us get to our friends!” Twilight asked as the giant turned and nodded “Lauch the Lightening Sword!” she ordered and with a single slash half the remaining putties were reduced to ashes but Twilight had little chance to rejoice as they ran in the direction Basil and Fluttershy had come from. “So when did you become this strong Aizen?” Beerus mocked as he flew round, his attacks were having an effect but with the power boost Aizen had gained from the enemy force, Beerus was struggling to win and fact was Aizen would soon achieve victory. Below the demolition boys and Bakura were pushing Joey, Kaiba and Jack back “Victory is ours!” “Want ’a bet?! Tiger claw attack!” a voice called out and a silver coloured Beyblade clashed with Brian’s Beyblade “Looks like it’s time for some payback Brian!” Ray of the bladebreakers stood looking cross. “Oh yeah! Seaborg!” Spencer yelled “Cat scratch attack!” a pink Beyblade clashed with Seaborg and pushed it back but the attack of the pink Beyblade was endless “Hey Ray you’d better keep your guard up” Mariah of the White Tigers walked up to Ray and kissed him on the cheek. “Mariah!” Ray yelped embarrassed “You’d better watch your back girly!” Iain declared “Wyborg! Attack!” “Little punk! Your battle is with me! Stampede rush!” a brown blade clashed with Wyborg and pushed it back “I’ve been looking for a chance to repay you for beating me in Moscow!” Steve of the All Starz stood with a smirk on his face. “Damn these inferior bladers are starting to annoy me!” Tala growled and he launched his blade aiming for Ray and Brian “Wolborg! Attack!” “You need to calm down, my good man but maybe you need to be taught some proper manners. Wing dagger!” a large blue blade clashed into Wolborg driving it back “Ray, I’m terribly sorry for being late but Johnny was so eager to come too and I just had to get my crack at this one” Robert of the Majestics stood with a big smirk on his face. “How!? How could we be losing they’re weaker than us and yet we’re losing!” Tala fumed as Spencer’s blade stopped spinning and Mariah switched targets to help Ray crush Brian who’s blade was smashed into pieces by the sheer force of the attack “We’ve been given such a power boost we should be winning” Iain’s blade shot past Tala’s head as Steve beat it and joined in with Robert’s attack against Wolborg “NO! I can’t lose! I won’t lose! I…” but at that moment the blade known as Wolborg was crushed by the force of the attack “Master Bakura!” “Fools!” Bakura snapped in rage but his monsters were also struggling to beat Joey, Jack and Kaiba’s monsters “Damn it! I won’t lose again!” “Then maybe you should shut your eyes!” Twilight exclaimed “Battle Fever Robo! Lightening sword!” “Mathias! Sword slash!” Fluttershy yelled with conviction and this time the warrior mouse appeared slashing his sword causing a rush of air to fly towards Bakura’s monster. “Lightening Blade!” Joey yelled. “Neutron Blast attack!” Kaiba yelled “Scorching Crimson Flare!” Jack yelled The attacks stuck Bakura’s Diabound who could not withstand the full force and crumpled to dust “Damn it! Aizen! We need to retreat!” the portal opened up and the evil forces made their way through it “I’ll get my revenge soon and when I’m done…Equestria will be a ruin!” After everyone had gathered round, Twilight turned to Beerus and said “What were they talking about?!” she paused “You destroyed our home?!” she pointed her finger at him with an accusing tone but then Beerus began to laugh “What’s so funny?!” Beerus smiled and said “You really believe I the god of destruction would use an indirect method?! I’m insulted! That’s it! I’m not telling you anything” but a moment past and again he burst into laughter “Okay, okay, you broke me. I’ll tell you everything. To put it simply, your asleep, we wanted to show you what was at stake if we couldn’t get you ready for the war that is approaching and thus we approached Princess Luna. After a little convincing involving a rubber duck…” “How did a rubber duck convince Luna?” Twilight asked in shock. “You don’t want to know, anyway after Luna saw our nightmares, she agreed to help us” Beerus said as he tossed a coin and caught it on the tip of his claw “We also got Discord to help us with this training exercise” with that a loud pop and Discord appeared laughing. “Does Celesia know about this?!” Fluttershy asked in alarm “There’s no way she’d agree to this!” she gestured at all the duellists gathered round them. “Who do you think we approached first?” Whis said appearing above them “When we explained the situation, they started to help us identify weaknesses in Equestria’s defences!” Whis then added “We also needed to get the other worlds on our side ready for battle! Sadly we were wrong…the Power Rangers have already fallen!” “That’s impossible!” Beerus said in alarm “Their earth seemed so well defended!” “They had no united leadership and were hit so hard they fell easily!” Whis said sadly “I was able to rescue a few of them but most were killed” he then walked beside Beerus and the blow was clear “We’ll need to whip you and your friends into shape” Discord changed his shape into Mighty Mick from Rocky “Don’t you worry! I’ll whip these ponies, bladers, scouts and duellists into shape!” as he then made some training equipment appear forming a makeshift gym “Right! I want to see you all sweat like you’ve never sweat before and even before that! Run round the island two thousand times!” Basil began to laugh “Well I do say. That will be a most topping warm up!” he paused and added “But I do believe we’ll need to save that for later, Discord my good fellow!” “I hope that helps you understand the situation” Beerus said in a serious tone “And I pray we’ll be ready to win this war after your training is complete!” “Well I’ve still got a lot of questions but I’m in” Twilight said as she turned to Ray “I hope we can count of your help” “The Bladebreakers never turn down a challenge!” Ray said with a smile “Hope you guys are game?” Steve, Mariah and Robert nodded. “I’m ready to get my game on!” Jaden said and smiled to Neos “We’re game!” “Jolly good show! I’m ready to give them a jolly good kicking!” Basil Stag hare said with a smile “So long as we’re ready to fight!” “We’re going to win this tournament!” Fluttershy said with a firm smile. “Oh is that so?” Yuesi said “Well you’ll have to get through me to do that! As I see it, you need to earn the right to win…on your own from now on!” he activated his duel disc and said “I challenge you Fluttershy!” “W…what?!” she said in alarm “Sounds like a plan” Ray said with a grin “Hey, come on you can do it…um…Fluttershy?” “Never lose hope, Fluttershy!” Basil said with a big thumbs up. “Okay! I’m ready!!” Fluttershy said activating her duel disc “Hope you’re ready to lose, Yusei!”
