//------------------------------// // Chapter 26 - continuing the duel. // Story: The True Me // by lightningman //------------------------------// "Holy..." I could see Flash trying to stop himself from swearing. "Why am I always the one fighting giant monsters?" "Because your most likely the main character of another story like me," I answer simply. "The hero always faces against impossible odds." Flash smiled. "Yeah and I'll win against it like I've done before." I then smile and say "Deathless. Attack." The huge skeleton-like monster runs toward flash's monster. He got prepared to attack. Flash looked at the colossal monster and smirked. "Don't forget, while she's on the field Arma is the only monster you can attack." The shield carrying teen leaped towards the behemoth. "Plus she has another ability. Since I have more monsters removed from play then you, she can't be destroyed by battle." I frown. "Well, you still get damage from the shockwave it creates when my monster hits." I smile. "And since your creature has zero defense points..." I let Flash figure out the rest. But Deathless attack just bounced off. I widen my eyes. "What the hell?" I run the rules through my head and I remember. It needs to be in attack position or have piercing damage to hurt the opponent. I facepalm. "How the hell did I forget that? I end my turn." "Alright," Flash said as he looked up at Deathless, "I need something big to take that thing down." He looked down at his hand, obviously trying to form a plan before he reached for his deck. "Let's do this, I draw and play Pot of Greed to draw two new cards." He did so and when he saw what he'd got, his face showed a massive smirk. "I set the Pendulum Scale," Flash said, "with scale one Magna Caster Lunara and Scale eight Magna Caster Solaris!" Two columns of light appeared, as wizards in either sun or moon style clothing appeared and flew up into them. Once high enough, they pointed their staffs at a spot above Flash's head before each firing a beam which combined. "Now watch," Flash said, "as I cut through space-time and carve the arc of victory." A large portal began to form above him. "I PENDULUM SUMMON!" The portal opened and a pair of lights shot out, before striking the ground and taking shape. "Stampede, Charge Horn Magna Bull!" (A2100/D2200/L6/P4) The second became a humanoid robot with blue and orange armor. A pair of thrusters stuck out the back. "Shine your light of victory, Flash Heart Dragon...X!" (A2500/D2000/L7/P4) "Flash Heart Dragon's ability," Flash said, "since he was special summoned, I can select the monster on your field with the lowest ATK points...AND BANISH IT!" Thus came the largest swearing streak Equestria has ever known. "(beep beep beep beep beep) ing (bleep) on a stick." I say as I cross my fingers. Then my card Unknown Shores began to glow again. We teleported to the center of Ponyville. "What the (bleep)?" I widen my eyes. "If Flash Heart gets an attack off, then it could destroy a few of these buildings." I began to think. "SAM!!" I yell at my duel disk. Flash was looking around at the change of scenery. "Why does this keep happening?" "You expect me to have the answer to all my cards powers? I just make them, I have no effect on their powers over the environment." I then begin to think. "I think its because it realizes that the duel is going to end soon, so it teleported us here, Where we started." I look up to see Flash Heart Dragon X was also looking around confused. "Your dragon is sentient," I say. "What?" Flash asked as he looked up at his monster. "Flash Heart?" The robotic dragon looked down at him, before giving him a thumbs up. "Your spirit must have been brought here along with me," Flash said, "good to see you, partner." "It must be the magic in the air and the already screwed up barrier between worlds." I put my hand on my chin. "Anyway, I think we should end this duel soon. As soon as I do something. Sam? Protego Totalum." I say as my duel disk shoots out a huge beam of light that puts a dome around us. It was radiating energy. "What are you doing?" "Haven't you noticed that whenever you attack, it deals damage to the real world as well as me? I'm making sure Flash Dragon's attack doesn't destroy the buildings. This shield is powered by the elements of harmony. So It should be able to withstand any attack you can throw at it. Now Flash? Give me all you got." I take off the duel disk and let electricity flow to my arms. "I'm going to use my electricity to try and stop your attacking from hurting me." "Alright," Flash said, "but you shouldn't worry. Flash Heart can't attack you directly on the turn he uses his ability." He went on, "but as for my other monsters." She switched Arma to ATK mode and she, Twin Laser and Manga Bull all stared down at me. "There free to attack you all they want!" Flash Heart pointed to me, ordering his three monsters to charge at me or fire its laser. I crouch and electricity radiates around me, acting as some sort of shield. "Huh... The more I figure out about my powers, the more they surprise me. My increased heart rate must have instinctively made my electricity into a shield form." I close my eyes and feel the twin lasers fire. But I hear a huge impact on the shield behind me and the pressure on my electricity, but it wasn't harming me. Arma and Magna Bull then arrived at me and struck the shield with their fist or shield, but I remained unharmed. I opened my eyes to the announcement of FLASH SENTRY WINS!!! I get up and brush myself off. "Good job you guys." I look to see Arma, Magna Bull, and Twin disappear. But Flash Heart Stays. He looks around confused. "Oh... um... that's bad, isn't it?" I facepalm. "Dammit, now I need to find two universe coordinates." "Actually," Flash said, "I don't think you need to. I might have my own way home." I raise an eyebrow. "And how is that?" I ask. Flash just smirked as he took out a card. "Here goes nothing," he said as he held it up, "Vail Pixie!" In a flash of light, a small silver fairy with purple hair appeared. "Hey Flash," she said as she flew down to them, "what's up." i widen my eyes. "huh. Your cards have magical properties here as well." I smile a bit and put my mask back on before vail pixie looks at me. "Whose this?" She asked. "It does matter," Flash explained, "do you think you can open a breech back to my world?" "Oh course," she replied, "as she held out her hands, which glowed." "Whoa. Idea" I say before you leave. I reach into my pocket and i pull out a few cards. "Sam? I need to quickly make modifications to Unknown shores." I say as my duel disk turns back into a wand. I begin to mutter a few things as the card glows. once im finished i pass you a few cards. "Here. Just in case." The cards were Unknown shores,guardians of meletis, loyal pegasus,shrieking mogg,bloodcrazed hoplite,glacial wall. selhoff occultist, aernoaut tinkerer,stitched drake, renowned weaver, and finally Deathless Behemoth. "Nice," Flash said as he took them, "these might come in handy." In that moment, Vail Pixie's light formed into a portal. "see you flash. it sucks you didnt get to meet everyone. Oh also, unknown shores works outside of duels now. just say where you want to go, and hold it in your hand. itll teleport you there. but you need to bring it somewhere with a lot of magic after 25 uses, that way it can recharge. got it? Also, for glacial wall, you need to sacrifice three blue creatures to use it." "Alright," Flash said, "I guess this is it...actually." He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. "Mind if I get a picture of this? My friends won't believe me without it." "Sure." I smile underneath my mask.I look around. "Yo! girls!" I call to the mane 6 and they come as well as spike. "Strike a pose. Flash is leaving and he want memoribilia." I sit down with the girls and get ready for the picture with flash. I watched as Flash fiddled with his phone, before putting it on a stump and running over to us. We wait for several seconds, before the device let out a brilliant flash. i blink a few times as it flashs. i bite my lip to stop myself from making a terrible pun. "see you flash. Also, if you ever need me, or any of us. I think i figured out this places coordinates. It's MLP-D9013" Flash nodded before turning towards the portal. He, Flash Heart and Vail Pixie all stepped through the portal, before it disappeared in a flash of light. i smile as they leave. I then turn to the other six. They were looking at me weirdly. "Long story.... I missed school because of this didnt I?" AT this they all nod and proceed to scold me for missing it. I need to learn all i can if i'm to beat blueblood in the equestrian knowledge test
