Chapter 2: The Story of the Millennium Items



Ponyville: Duel Monster Arena

Blazing Blitz beat Diamond Tiara in the duel and the whole crowd that watched them are celebrating him for his win. Blaze smiled happy that he taught Diamond a lesson. He knew the crowd thought Diamond Tiara won't bother him again but he wasn't convinced. Before Diamond left he saw the look on Diamond's face, she was sad but the look in her eyes meant that she wasn't defeated yet. Blaze then saw the main 6, Spike, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo staring at him some with a shocked look, the others wanted to know what happened to him.

Blaze then walked past the crowd until he saw stopped by the stallion that is running the Duel Monsters Stand holding a deck of cards. "You really put a lot of fate into winning the duel young one," He said to Blaze. Blaze smiled, "Like my sister always said "If you put in a lot of faith into your deck, there is no way you can lose." The older stallion nodded and showed Blaze the deck he was holding, "Here, take them free of charge." Blaze shaking his head, "Like I said no thanks, I can't accept them. "I insist." The stallion said to Blaze as he gave him the deck, "I think you will be pleased."

Blaze looked at the deck the stallion gave him and when he was about to say no, the stallion disappeared. Blaze looked around for the stallion as the crowd separated but couldn't find him. He then put the new deck of cards in his backpack and continue walking to the library. Blaze started to wonder why the stallion gave him the deck for a minute until he was stopped by the filly he helped earlier. "Thanks for the help." She said. "If it weren't for you Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon could of stole my favorite card."

"You are very welcome miss?" Blaze said but he didn't knew her name. "Oh, My name is Apple Bloom," the filly introduced herself. "Apple Bloom," Blaze thought for a moment, "Nice name." That made Apple Bloom blush, "Thanks." Blaze then thought of something, "Hey I didn't get to look at your favorite card." Apple Bloom then realized it as well, "Wanna see it?" she asked as he nodded. She revealed it to be "Dark Magician Girl" level 6 with attack power 2000 and defense at 1700.

Blaze nodded his head, "Nice choice, that is also my older sister's favorite card." he and Apple Bloom laughed. "What's your favorite card?" Apple Bloom asked. Blaze grabbed a card from his deck. "My favorite card is this 'Blaster, Dragon Ruler Of Infernos' level 7 attack 2800 and defense 1800." Apple Bloom looked amazed. "I've never seen that card before." she said. "Well see, my sister owns a game shop in Canterlot and I get my best cards from her." Blaze told the filly. Apple Bloom is amazed about it. "Oh," Blaze remembered, "My name is..." "Blazing Blitz?" Apple Bloom asked. Blaze nodded, "You heard me from earlier, didn't you?" The yellow filly nodded.

Then the main 6, cmc, and spike walked up to them. Blaze and Apple Bloom watched them walk closer to them but Blaze didn't like the look they all had. Applejack walked up to Apple Bloom, "Are you ok, Apple Bloom?" She asked her sister. Apple Bloom nodded, "Yeah, thanks to Blaze." she said pointing at the red colt. The main 6 looked at Blaze, all with a strange look. Twilight stepped forward. "Nice to meet you, Blaze." She said. Blaze nodded, "Twilight Sparkle, correct?" she asked. Twilight raised an eyebrow as she nodded.

Blaze smiled, "Great. I was planning to meet you at the library." Applejack stepped in. "What for?" she asked the red colt. Blaze put his hoove on his amulet, "I need information about the Millennium Puzzle." Rarity looked at his pyramid amulet. "That thing is a what, darling?" she asked. "A Millennium Puzzle." Blaze said again. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie looked amazed at the thing wrapped around Blaze's neck.

"What does it do?" the pinked pony asked. Blaze shrugged, "I'm not sure to be honest. That is why I was planning to research it at the library." he told the pink pony. Twilight nodded, "Sure, let's go to the library and see what we find." she lead Blaze and the other to the castle. Not knowing that a shadow figure following them.

Ponyville Library

Twilight and Spike are going over every book they can find for information of Blaze's Millennium Puzzle. So far they found nothing. Blaze is now looking at the deck the stallion gave him. He noticed that some of them were Dragon card and others were warrior cards. Then he found something that made his eyes widen. "NO WAY!!!" He yelled scaring everypony in the library. "What is it Blaze?" Rainbow asked the red colt and he pulled up the card. A Blue-Eyes White Dragon level 8 attack 3000 and defense 2500. Applejack looked at the card, "Don't you have the same card?" she asked. Blaze nodded and put the cards back in his backpack.

The red colt walked up to Twilight and Spike, "Anything yet?" he asked. Twilight shock her head no and Spike did the same. Fluttershy walked slowly to Blaze, "w-w-Where did you find that puzzle?" she asked. As just as Blaze was about to tell her Twilight pulled out a book. "I think I found it." Everyone walked up to Twilight's desk as she opened the book but there was a problem. "What's with the weird writing?" Rainbow asked as everyone was confused. But Blaze spoke, "I think I know what some of this says." He grabbed the book and looked at it.

After a few minutes Blaze looked at everyone, "The book says that the Millennium Puzzle is but one of many Millennium items created at Egyptian times and was worn by a great King that ruled the land." he told them. They were amazed, "What was the king's name?" Sweetie Belle asked. Blaze looked at the book, "The closest way to say his name is Yami." Rarity tilted her head, "Yami? That's an interesting name." Blaze looked deeper into the book, "There is no photo that described Yami, but it says that he defended Egypt from evil sorcerers by using a great mystical card game called...!" Blaze stopped with a shocked look.

Apple Bloom spoke, "Called what, Blaze?" The red colt looked everyone as he finished his sentence, "Duel Monsters." Everyone was shocked. Duel Monsters is the card game everyone is using now. Twilight was confused, "You mean the card game everypony in Equestria is playing is also the way the King defeated evil sorcerers." Blaze nodded as everypony is shocked. Spike then spoke, "What happened to the Millennium Items then?" Blaze looked through the pages and read, "After the fierce battle, the king realized that the Millennium items were the reason why the evil sorcerers came for him. So to stop making it happen again, he ordered his men to scatter the items throughout Egypt so nopony could find them."

The main 6 were amazed. "What about his Puzzle?" Scootaloo asked. Blaze continued reading, "The king new that his Millennium Puzzle wasn't safe in his hooves. So he broke it into several pieces and put them in a box to hide it from evil. Some say that after the king's death his soul was transported into his Millennium Item. Hopping one day that the king will walk the earth once more." Everyone was sad and surprised. Not only did the king save the world but he did it to save everyone, not just himself.

Apple Bloom then asked a question. "How did you get the Millennium Puzzle if it was hidden?" The main 6 agreed with Apple Bloom and looked at Blaze. He put the book down and talked. "I didn't get the puzzle specifically. My mother was a Egyptologist, before she and dad died she found a box in an Egyptian cave and gave it to my sister who gave it to me." He told the team as he walked to a window, "The rest happened about a year ago."
