"Attention all future duelists," The Captain of the ship said. "This is your Captain speaking, The ship will be heading to Duelist Island in about 15 minutes, please return to your seats as we approach our final destination."
Sunset had gotten into her seat after she was sure that her duel runner was perfectly polished. It's as her father always said, "A Clean Duel Runner is a Perfect Duel Runner." This made Sunset chuckle a little.
"Oh, I can't believe that I'm going to be enrolled in the Duelist Academy," Sunset thought to herself. "Don't worry Dad, I'm going to make you proud when I pass and become New Domino Cities Top Turbo-Duelist, just like Jack Atlas."
Suddenly, Sunset saw that there was a short girl with leaf green hair sitting in the seat that was next to her.
"Oh, hi, I didn't see you there, my name's Sunset Shimmer, what's your name," Sunset asked the girl, who was looking at the cards in her deck.
"Wallflower Blush, my name is Wallflower Blush," Wallflower said with a shy tone in her voice. " I saw that you had a lot of Synchro monsters in your deck, that must mean that you're going to be put in the Synchro house for sure."
"Yeah, I'm sure I will," Sunset said. "Say, could I see what kind of deck you have?"
"Sure," Wallflower said as she handed Sunset her deck.
"Oh, you have a Predaplant Deck, that is a really powerful deck, there are a lot of very powerful fusion monsters in that deck," Sunset said. "You must be really into plants, huh."
"Yeah, you could say that," Wallflower said. "You know, I saw you talking with that other girl, her name was Adagio, right?"
"Yes, you are correct," Sunset said.
"Oh, ok, I just wanted to ask, was Adagio born in New Domino City like you were," Wallflower asked.
"Oh, no no, Adagio and her sisters were born in the Satellite Sector," Sunset said with a sad expression. "And if it weren't for me and my other friend, Rainbow-Dash, all three of them would be locked up for life in the facility by Sector Security."
"It's a good thing that Rainbow-Dash joined Sector Security," Sunset said. "Even though Sector Security was full of a lot of Bad Cops, Rainbow was taught by a duo of Good Cops, Officer Tetsuo Trudge, and Lieutenant Spitfire."
"Hmm, I guess Sector Security is going to get a little better now that they're under new leadership," Wallflower said.
"Yes, you're correct on that," Sunset said. "Hey, speaking of dueling, once orientation is over, do you mind if we have a little duel together."
"Sure, I'd like to have a little duel with you," Wallflower said as she started to blush a little.
Suddenly, both girls felt the boat come to a screeching halt. "Alright everyone, we have arrived at Duelist Island, please bring all of your belongings and exit the Boat. Orientation will start tomorrow, but all you have to do today is go to the security officials at the front of the building once that is done, tell them your name, then show them your decks and ace monsters. We thank you for having a safe trip with us at Kaibacorp Mariners, and we hope you all enjoy the rest of your day."
At that moment Dark Twilight was watching from the shadows.
Well, well, well, It seems like we've arrived," Dark Twilight said.
"It could be easy for me, but with Cinch in possession of the Millenium Gauntlet, she'll be able to detect my dark spirit," Dark Twilight said.
"So, I'll just lay low for a while. It looks like that fool Twilight will get to control her body for a little while," Dark Twilight said. "You better be on your guard Shimmer, you haven't seen the last of me, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
The Purple eye vanished from Twilight's forehead, as she collapsed to the ground.
Then a few moments later, Twilight would awaken.
"Oh, my head," Twilight said as she regained consciousness. "Wait where am I, what happened?"
As soon as Sunset and Wallflower got off the boat, they were then met by a security official.
And as instructed by the boat captain, Sunset showed the security official her Hot Red Dragon Archfiend, her ace monster.
Wallflower also showed the official her ace monster, Predaplant Triphyoverutum.
Once this was done they were allowed to enter the academy on Duelist Island.
Once Sunset had found her dorm room and had situated all of her belongings, she then proceeded to go to the duel runner track room to test it out with her duel runner.
However, before she could, she then saw Wallflower out in the standard dueling arena and decided to have a standard duel with her.
"Hey Wallflower," Sunset greeted.
"Oh, hello," Wallflower said.
"So how about that little duel you wanted to do," Sunset said.
"Oh, you want to," Wallflower said in astonishment.
"Of course, I always keep my promises," Sunset said with a smile on her face.
"Alright then, let the duel begin," Wallflower said as they both prepared their duel disks.
"Let the duel commence," an Ai in both their duel disks said.
Sunset Shimmer LP: 8000
Wallflower Blush LP: 8000
Sunset and Wallflower began drawing 5 cards each.
"Alright, my turn," Sunset said.
"I'll start this duel by summoning Twin-Sword Marauder in attack mode," Sunset said as she summoned her monster.
Twin-Sword Marauder: Fiend-Type, Level: 4
ATK: 1600, DEF: 1000
"Then I place two cards face-down and end my turn," Sunset said. "Your move Wallflower."
"Alright my turn," Wallflower said. "You better be careful Sunset, even plants can be apex predators."
"I summon Predaplant Spinodionaea in attack mode," Wallflower said.
Predaplant Spinodionaea: Plant-Type, Level: 4
ATK: 1800, DEF: 0
"Predaplant Spinodionaea, attack her Marauder," Wallflower said as her monster attacked and destroyed Sunset's Twin-Sword Marauder.
Sunset: 8000-200=7800 LP.
"Wow, I'm impressed," Sunset said. "But you just fell into my trap."
"What," Wallflower said.
"I activate my Trap-Card Rope of life," Sunset said. "By discarding my whole hand to the graveyard, I can target a monster that was destroyed by battle and bring him back, but now with 800 additional Attack points."
Twin-Sword Marauder:
ATK: 1600+800=2400, DEF: 1000
"Aww, man," Wallflower said. "I put one card face-down and end my turn."
"Alright, I draw," Sunset said. "And I'll use the Spell Card: Pot of Greed, which will allow me to draw two more cards from my deck."
"And now I'll activate my second Trap Card, Graceful Revival," Sunset said. "With this, I can bring back one Level 2 or lower monster from my Graveyard and place it in Attack Mode, so I'll bring out The Tuner Monster, Force Resonator."
Force Resonator: Fiend-Type, level: 2
ATK: 500, DEF: 500
"Now, I'll tune up my Level 2 Force Resonator with my Level 4 Twin-Sword Marauder, to Synchro Summon, Red Rising Dragon," Sunset said as she completed her synchro summon.
Red-Rising Dragon: Dragon-Type, Level 6.
ATK: 2100, DEF: 1600.
"Oh, and thanks to my Red-Rising Dragon's Special Ability, when this card is synchro summoned, I can target one resonator monster in my graveyard and can special summon it to the field," Sunset said. "So now I summon the Level 2 Crimson Resonator."
Crimson Resonator: Fiend-Type, Level 2
ATK: 800, DEF: 300
"And with that, I'll tune up my Level 2 Crimson Resonator to my Level 6 Red Rising Dragon to Synchro Summon my Ace Monster, Hot Red-Dragon Archfiend," Sunset said as she completed her synchro Summon. "Come on out Hot-Red Dragon Archfiend, and show your rage."
Her Dragon let out a mighty roar as it entered the field.
Hot Red Dragon Archfiend: Dragon Type, Level 8
ATK: 3000, DEF: 2000.
"Just to go easy on you, I'll put three cards face-down and end my turn," Sunset said.
"Oh, how am I supposed to fight that thing," Wallflower thought to herself. "Ok, I'll try to hold on while I still can."
"I draw," Wallflower said. "And I'll use the spell card Swords of Revealing Light," Wallflower said as three swords descended from the sky. "You can't attack for three turns."
"Alright now I activate the continuous spell, Predaponics," Wallflower said. And with it, I can special summon one level 4 or lower Predaplant monster from my hand or graveyard once per turn."
"So I special Summon Predaplant Chlamydosundew in Defense Mode," Wallflower stated as she summoned her monster.
Predaplant Chlamydosundew: Plant Type, Level: 2
ATK: 600, DEF: 200.
"And now I'll use the spell card Polymerization," Wallflower said. "So I'll use it to fuse my Predaplant Spinodionaea and Predaplant Chlamydosundew to Fusion Summon Predaplant Chimerafflesia."
Predaplant Chimerafflesia: Plant-Type, Level 7
ATK: 2500, DEF: 2000.
"Yikes, that's one mean-looking flower," Sunset said in shock.
"Yeah, and there's more," Wallflower said.
"I activate the Spell Card, Card Destruction," Wallflower said as she activated her spell card. "We must both discard our entire hands and draw the same number of cards that we had from our previous hands."
After this was done, Wallflower had 5 new cards and Sunset had 4.
"I activate the Spell Card, Predapruning," Wallflower said. "With this card, I can target one Predaplant Monster in my graveyard and I can special summon it, so I call forth Predaplant Squid Drosera to the field."
Predaplant Squid Drosera: Plant-Type, level: 2.
ATK: 800, DEF: 400.
"And now I'll use a second Polymerization spell to fuse Predaplant Chimerafflesia with Predaplant Squid Drosera to fusion summon Predaplant Dragostapelia," Wallflower commanded as she fused her monsters.
Predaplant Dragostapelia: Plant-Type, Level: 8
ATK: 2700, DEF: 1900
"Now I summon Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio in Attack mode."
Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio: Plant-Type, Level: 3.
ATK: 1200, DEF: 800
"And when Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio is normally Summoned, its special ability activates," Wallflower said. "I can choose one Predaplant monster in my deck and special summon it, so I'll Special summon Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra in defense mode."
Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra: Plant-Type, Level: 3
ATK: 1000, DEF: 1500.
"Oh and when Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra was summoned due to the effect of a Predaplant Monster, it's special ability can activate," Wallflower said. "I can add one Polymerization or Fusion spell card from my deck to my hand."
"And now I activate Predaprime Fusion," Wallflower said as she activated her spell card. "With this I can fusion summon one dark fusion monster from my extra deck if I have Predaplant monsters out on the field."
"And so, I will now fuse Predaplant Dragostapelia, with Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio and Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra to make my ace monster, Predaplant Triphyoverutum," Wallflower said as when her three monsters fused, the resulting monster let out a frightening screech.
Predaplant Triphyoverutum: Plant-Type, Level: 9
ATK: 3000, DEF: 3000.
"Woah, my Hot Red Dragon Archfiend and her monster have equal attack points," Sunset said. "That means if she attacks she'll take out both monsters. So if I don't find a card that can deter it, my monsters will be turned into Plant-Food. I need to find out what to do before it's too late."
(Meanwhile in Cinch's office)
Twilight then entered through the front door of Cinch's office.
"Hello Principal Cinch, did you want to see me," Twilight asked as she came in.
"Yes, I did," Cinch said in a stern tone of voice. "Did you get those rare cards I asked you to get?"
"No, I'm sorry, they're very hard to find," Twilight said with a worried tone.
"Twi, I cannot have weak-willed duelists in my academy, do not make me get rid of you," Cinch sneered as Twilight became more frightened.
"I've heard enough of your banter, you old crone," The Spirit of the Millennium Spell-Book snarled as it emerged from the book as a purple fog with red eyes.
"What, what dark trickery is this," Cinch said in shock.
"You'll find out soon enough," The Spirit of the Millennium Spell-Book said as it went into Twilight's body.
Twilight's frightened frown turned into a sinister grin as she looked at Cinch with eyes full of malice and a purple eye appeared on her forehead.
"Who or what are you," Cinch shrieked in shock.
"I'm the Twilight that your student alway's wished to be, I'm the true Twilight," Dark-Twilight said as she picked up a deck in her pocket.
She then put three cards face-down on the table.
"These three cards will help predict your past, present, and future," Dark-Twilight said as she flipped the first card face-up.
"The first card is the trap card tragedy," Dark-Twilight said. "It depicts that you were once happy, had a happy family and were expecting a child, unfortunately that child died from a miscarridge and later your husband abandoned you after the child's death."
H-How did you know about that," Cinch said as tears were starting to form.
"The next card is Vain Betrayer," Dark-Twilight said. "This depicts your present state; you became egotistical and vain, and you cared little for all the problems that were occuring in the world at large."
The final card is the monster card, Dark Spirit of Banishment," Dark-Twilight said. "It's a very poetic card to depict your future...because I'm about to banish your soul to the Shadow Realm forever."
"What," Cinch squeaked before Dark-Twilight handed her a duel-disk.
"If you want your soul in one piece, you have to beat me in a duel," Dark-Twiight said.
"Very well, you will regret making me angry Twilight or whatever you are," Cinch said as she readied her psychic deck.
"Whatever," Dark-Twilight scoffed. "Prepare yourself Mortal, and let the Shadow-Game begin, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!"
