//------------------------------// // Chapter 25 - Introducing.... Flash Sentry // Story: The True Me // by lightningman //------------------------------// "She looked at me like a piece of meat five minutes ago and she only now realizes who I am?" Flash asked. "You have a rarity in your world yes? Then you must realize that when a fashion emergency is happening that the only thing that catches her eye is the clothes. She's really focused." I lean down. "get out from under the table rarity." I reach a hand and pull her out. "Yes, It's a new human. This is Flash Sentry. He's from an alternate reality." I groan. "I'm going to have to repeat myself a bunch today aren't I?" Rarity slowly comes out and looks at him. "Hmm... You seem nice." She then smiles "But I know you won't do anything bad." she goes and grabs the newly fixed coat and hands it to Flash. Flash looked it over, amazed that she had somehow changed the jacket's color from black to the same dark blue as his hair. "Nice," he said as he put it on, "might need to change my pants though." The rest nodded, seeing he was now almost completely in blue apart from his undershirt. "that's rarity. When it comes to clothes, she is the god." I smile. "Now come on, we need to introduce you to the other 5. Also bonus information about this place? Twilight and Rainbow are together. Fluttershy and I might be together. It complicated. I also currently am the human ambassador and potential the future prince of Equestria in place of Prince Blueblood." Flash just stared at him as the information flowed through his head. I wasn't sure whether it was the Twilight/Rainbow thing that made him stale or the fact I was a future prince. "Okay," he finally said, "thanks for the info." As we left I paid rarity. But for some reason she refused payment. I couldn't get a reason out of her about why though. I shrug. "Anyway. I believe it would be best to visit Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Twilight and Rainbow, and finally Fluttershy. By the way. Nobody except you and I know that Rainbow and Twilight are together. I figured you might as well know just in case. So don't tell anybody else about it alright?" I pull out my deck of cards and begin to sort them. Flash noticed them and smirked. "Sweet, I was afraid I'd be the only one here who Duels. Fancy a game later." "Oh, uh.." I contemplate on whether to use it or not. "alright, sure." I nod. "I accept your challenge. But I do have some warnings. These cards..... you'll be guaranteed have never fought against them.no matter how experience you are." "Sweet," Flash said, "I'm always up for a challenge. When do you want to throw down?" I think for a second. "Now or never, I guess. Get it over with quickly. Hold on." I pull out the harmonic wand "What's that?" Flash asked. "This is the Harmonic Wand. It's basically my daughter. In the mental world, literally." I smile as I point it and smoke comes out of it. forming a pony. She blinks and sees me. "Oh hey, dad. What did you need?" "I was wondering if your able to transfigure yourself into a duel disk I can use?" "Huh," Flash said, "I know I should be questioning that, but after the day I've had and everything that's happened to me in the last year, I'm just gonna be using the strategy of not questioning anything." "Good choice," I say as the wand turns into a duel disk with a color scheme of lightning yellow and Navy Blue. I put the deck into the slot and put my arm into it. "Alright," Flash said as he jumped back until they were ruffly ten feet away from each other. He then pulled out a navy blue Duel Disk and slapped it on his left arm as an orange energy disk formed. "How'd you wanna do this, Action Duel or normal Duel?" "Let's try action duel. I want to try out a card." I smile as I think of the card 'Blighted gorge.' "You go first," I say. "LETS DUEL!" "Alright," Flash said as he clicked something on his Duel Disk, "then I activate the Action Field Crossover." A pulse of energy flew out of his Duel Disk, as a robotic lady spoke. "CROSSOVER ACTIVATED!" Suddenly light green platforms appeared in the air above them. "Hmm...." I smile at the technology. "This is far beyond my current technology level. So you're in the future relative to my dimension." I say. Flash: 4000 Lightningman: 4000 "ACTION CARDS DISPERSED!" "Alright," Flash said as he reached for his deck, "I draw." He looked at his cards and smirked, before turning to me. "And what better to play in this world, then Flash Wing Magna Pegasus." In a flash of light, an orange pegasus with Flash's emblem on its flank appeared. It was wearing gold armor on its chest, hooves, and head. (A1400/D800/L4) "I'll throw two cards face down and call it a turn." "huh." I look up at the pegasus. "It's another counterpart of yourself. Didnt know you could summon him." "Er, sure," Flash said, "so you gonna go or not?" "Oh right." I nod and draw a card. "I play Ambuscade Shaman in attack mode." (2000attack. 2000 defense black creature level 4) "I then play the card Enhanced Awareness. This allows me to draw 3 cards, and then I have to put one of them back in my deck on the bottom." I draw three cards and then put one of them at the bottom. "With that, I end my turn." "Alright," Flash said, "It's my turn. I draw and I'll start by releasing Magna Pegasus, to summon Charge Horn Magna Bull!" In a flash of light, the pegasus was replaced by a large robotic Minotaur with mainly blue armour and red trim, with pipes sticking out its back and shoulders. (A2100/D2200/L6/P4) "ATTACK!" I cover my eyes as Magna bull destroys my ambuscade shaman. I then feel something hard hit me across the face. I stumble backward. "OWW!" I feel my skin underneath my mask and it was bleeding a little bit. "What the hell?" I say quietly to myself. I shake my head to clear my thoughts. Lightningman 3900 Flash Sentry 4000. "Alright then. Are you ending your turn?" I prepare my cards "Yeah," Flash said, "after I place one card face down." "Alright." I nod. "I draw." I frown at the card I got. It was useless at the moment. I only had one card in the graveyard. "I play the card loyal pegasus." 2000 attack 1000 defense. Level 3 white creature. "I also play the card Downsize. Which lowers your creatures attack power by 400." "Oh boy," Flash said as he looked over at his monster and saw it get depowered (A1700/D2200/L6/P4) "This gives me enough power to destroy your creature. Attack!" Loyal Pegasus flies into the air and divebombs Magna Bull. Flash kicked into gear, running over to a nearby tree and snagging an Action Card out the branches. "I place the Action Spell card Miracle. This card lets me save my monster and cut the damage I take in half." I frown at this. I look through my cards. I could use Unknown shores. But I don't know if that effects cards that are in the player's hand. I sigh and allow the creature to be saved. "Oh also, When I got my life points damaged. It actually hurt me. Is that supposed to happen?" I ask as Loyal knocks over your bull. He doesn't get destroyed, but the shockwave gets sent towards you. Lightningman 3900 Flash Sentry 3850  Flash raised his arms to shield himself from the shockwave, getting pushed back a few feet as he did. "It didn't hurt him, but it hurt me?" I shrug. "Guess it's because of the type of attack he got hit by. It was just a shockwave. I actually got hit." I then call out to Flash. "I end my turn." "It's my turn," Flash said, "I draw and I play Stardust Reload. This card lets me banish Magna Pegasus from my graveyard and then draw cards equal to his Level, so I draw four." He did so, smirking at the sight of his cards. "I summon Magna Defender Arma in DEF mode." A teenage girl in steampunk attire appeared, carrying a large golden shield in her hands. (A1800/D0/L4) "Here's the thing, while she's on the field you can't target any other monster for an attack." "My common sense is tingling," I say. "You're going to use her for a strategy." I smile. "Now Magna Bull attack!" The robotic Minotaur's jets shot it forward, causing it to fly towards my Pegasus. "Wait, what?" I look as he boosts forward. I gulp. "Now or never. Hopefully, this works. I play the spell Unknown Shores! This causes the field we are playing on to change randomly." The field changes into a forest. I look around and punch a tree. A card falls out and I grab it. Flash was looking around at the forest. "What the heck just happened?" I widen my eyes and my jaw drops. "What just happened is I activate the card I just got. EVASION!" I place it down on my duel deck "Dang it," Flash said, "alright I end my turn." "Whew. Alright." I cough a bit. "Let me catch my breath. that way too much excitement." I stretch. "Alright I'm good. I draw." I look at the card. "I play Chapel Geist." 2000 attack 1500 defense. level 4 white creature. "I also play shrieking Mogg. (I had to add some 2 red creatures to my deck or I wouldn't be able to summon deathless behemoth.) 1000 attack and 1000 defense. Red creature "When this creature enters the battlefield. no other creatures can attack or block. that includes mine." I cover my ears and Mogg lets out a loud shriek that paralyzes all creatures for one turn. "What is with these monsters?" Flash asked as he watched his creatures be zapped. "They're so weird." "I said they were creatures you would never have fought as a Yugioh player. Figure it out." I smile. "I end my turn." "Then it's my turn," Flash spoke, "I draw." He looked at his card a smiled. "Perfect," he said, "I'll trade in Magna Bull for my Twin Laser Dragon."(A2100/D1500/L5) In a flash of light, the robotic bull was replaced by a large robotic brachiosaurus with a pair of laser cannons on its side. "This bad boy wasn't paralyzed," Flash told me, "so I can use him to attack your Mogg! "oh (beep.)" it was getting hot under my mask. I took it off to reveal a face that was very different from one's flash saw. it was pale white. the hair was brown with the top being blond. He also had BMW glasses. " I'm... uh... just going to take cover Behind here." I gesture to a nearby tree. I hide behind it.But while I was hiding the area where we were, began to flicker. We got transported to a beach area. nowhere for me to take cover. The robotic dinosaur's left cannon fired, unleashing a laser that flew through the air towards my monster. i jumped and flattened myself to the ground, hoping it didn't hit me. I didn't have angels mercy to heal my real body. so I didn't want to be hurt worse than usual.  Lightningman 2800 Flash Sentry 3850 I could feel the heat from the lasers burn through my costume. Eventually, it ended and I got up to see where shrieking Mogg was, it was now just a smoldering crater. I bare my teeth. "I'm not giving up so easily. if there's something I learned from my years as lightningman, it's that I should never give up, in anything I do." I look up at Flash with anger in my eyes. It wasn't full fury, I knew it was just a game. But it was enough to make me take this seriously. "And there's a reason my dragon had Twin in his name," Flash told me, "because he has a twin attack, which I'm firing right now!" The dragon's right cannon fired. "Nope. Because I play the card Dispel. It can stop any attack or spell once." It activates "Nice," Flash said, "alright, I end my turn." "I play the card renowned weaver." (1000 1000 level 2 green creature.) "I also play the card March of the returned. Which allows me to bring up to 2 cards back to my battlefield. And I'm choosing Shrieking Mogg and Ambuscade Shaman." They return back to my battlefield. "I also sacrifice my Loyal Pegasus for something more powerful. Aeronaut Tinkerer." 2000 1500 level 5 blue creature. "And have you noticed something? I have all 5 colors." I smile. But it was creepy. Like pennyworth, the clown was smiling. "Let me guess," Flash said, "you need those five colors to summon something super big and powerful right?" "Correctamundo my friend. By sacrificing these 5." They all disappear. "I get to summon this. DEATHLESS BEHEMOTH!!" (6000 6000 level 12.) "And a special ability of this guy? If I sacrifice another creature every time he dies. He can return back to the battlefield from the graveyard.
