Red Eyes controls Sweetie Belle's body in a room with Mana. This room has many books. Red Eyes walks around to see if she finds something useful. Thirty minutes later, nothing useful has been found.
Red Eyes folds Sweetie Bell's front hoof. "I bet the duel upstairs is over and we can find nothing useful."
Mana spins her scepter. "I think my magic will find the summoner that controls Blue Eyes."
"Maybe you should."
Suddenly, Sweetie Belle's body shines bright. After a while, the filly feels that she has no black scales on her body anymore. She looks around and sees the black baby dragon is tryinf to fly away. Sweetie Belle jumps on the table, then jumps to catch the black dragon. "Going somewhere?"
The black dragon huffs. "Yeah yeah, go ahead."
"Maybe later." Sweetie Belle puts the black dragon on her back. "Now how can we find the one who controls 'Brick Eyes'?"
She closes her eyes and slams her scepter onto the ground. A magic circle appears on the ground. After a while, the blue mare opens her eyes and says. "Eh... the controller is... under us."
Sweetie Belle rubs her chin. "Really? Then we should split up and look for him..."
Suddenly, the floor opens beneath them and they all fall down. Red Eyes is trying to hold the white filly while Mana is just sitting on the scepter and floating on the air. When they land on the ground, they see a gray stallion is watching the crytal ball.
Sweetie Belle and the others don't know if they could ask the stallion or just go up there. Sweetie Belle asks. "So how can we get up there?"
The stallion hears the voice and turns to the white filly, then he turns to the black dragon and laughs. "Yes... my last material to complete my deck."
A chain flys to the black dragon but Mana breaks it with her magic, then she shoots a fireball at the stallion. In order to see if anything happens, Sweetie Belle pulls out a card. Behind her, she suddenly saw a cage. "Not again."
"A duelist." The stallion coughs. "Looks like I have to take your dragon by a duel."
"Give me your name first then we can duel." Sweetie Belle glares at the stallion. "And where is 'Blue eyes'?"
"That dragon... " The stallion laughs. "Is inside my deck." The ground is slowly rising up and a table is appearing in front of Sweetie Belle and the stallion. "I will get your dragon... in this duel." Then he laughs and the floor moves up like an evelator.
Twilight and the others are taking care of Rarity after the duel. Stargazer returns to the girl and shakes his head. "Found nothing."
Twilight nods. "Thank you for your help, but right now we should head back to Ponyville."
Rarity slowly opens her eyes and sees her friends. The white unicorn hugs Twilight immediately and starts crying. Suddenly, an earthquake shakes the castle and the ground is openning. All of them watches the hole as something is rising from it. After a while, they see Sweetie Belle is standing while the black stallion is laughing.
Rarity walks to her sister. "Run... Sweetie... Belle... that." she is stopped by a wall. Sweetie Belle puts her deck on the table while Rarity yells. "Sweetie Belle."
The white filly looks at her for a while, but she turns away. Twilight begins to examine the invisible wall. "This one is a ... mute wall. The ponies inside this wall can't even see or hear us."
"But... but.. Sombra." Rarity punches the wall. "I... have to... save her." Then she lies on the ground and breathes heavily.
Twilight calms her down. "I will try my best." Then she breaks the wall.
Sweetie Belle puts the deck on the table and points at the gray stallion. "I don't know who you are, but if you want a duel, you get one."
The stallion grins. "Let us begin. Oh, and my name is Sombra."
"Edgy as hell." Sweetie Belle taps the table. "Who will go first?"
Swestie Belle: 8000 LP
Sombra: 8000 LP
Sombra draws five cards and looks at them. The gray stallion grins. 'I will go first." Then he plays a card on the table. "I activated 'Malefic Territory'. Now, welcome to 'Malefic World'."
The eye appears above the cage. Sweetie Belle stares at them for a while. "Now I believe you control 'Brick Eyes'."
Sombra shows a card. "I will banish 'Blue Eyes White Dragon' from my deck to summon..." a white dragon with black wings appears on the field. "My dark dragon, 'Malefic Blue Eyes White Dragon' (lv 8/ 3000 ATK/ 2500 DEF)." When Sombra is going to play another card, a mare with red armor and a whip appears on Sweetie Belle's field. The gray stallion flinches a little bit. "What... what is that monster?"
"Just a card named 'Chaos Hunter' (LV7/ 2500 ATK/ 2000 DEF)." Sweetie Belle giggles, "When a monster is special summoned to your field, I can special summon her from my hand by discarding one card." Sweetie Bell gives the black stallion a smirk"She will prevent you from banishing cards."
"You..." Sombra grits his teeth. "I set two cards and end my turn."
Sweetie Belle teases. "Nice board." Then she draws a card. "Hmm... 'Red Eyes' is my ghost now. " The black dragon bites the white filly's head, but she doesn't mind the black dragon. " I set three cards and pass."
The stallion flips a card. "I activate 'Malefic Claw Steam'. When I control a 'Malefic monster, I can destroy one card."
The red- armored mare exploded after being slashed by a claw. Sweetie Belle rubs her head. "Go ahead."
"It's my turn. I activate 'Malefic Word'. Instead of drawing, I can add a 'Malefic' card from my deck to my hand." The stallion shows three cards, but all of them are the same. He adds the card " Perfect." When he is going to summon, he sees a stone wall appeared around him and the white filly. Sombra touches the wall. "This is not my wall."
"Of course it's not." Sweetie Belle flips a card. "My continues trap, 'Imperial Iron Wall', neither player can banish cards when this card is faced up."
"You're annoyed." Sombra grins. "But luckily I drew this card, I summon the tuner monster, 'Malefic Parralell Gear' (Lv 2/ 0 ATK /0 DEF)." A monster with gear head appeared. " I will..."
Sweetie Belle cuts him off. "I activated my continuing trap, 'Discord'. Neither player can synchro summon now."
"What!?" Sombra slams the table. "Who played that card?"
"You shouldn't attack my village." Sweetie Belle crosses her front hoof over her neck. "Now, you are making a thong around your neck. Good luck, 'Paradox'."
Sombra shakes his body. "I'm not Paradox. Attack my dragon, Burst Stream of Destruction." A black laser is shooting from the dragon's mouth.
Sweetie Belle : 5000 LP.
The main six and the stallion watch the duel, but they are all silenced when the duel is
Sweetie Belle smiles at him as Sombra sets a card. When the white filly draws her card, she sees part of her front hoof is missing a part. "Where... where is my hoof? What's happened?"
Mana explains. "Looks like he challenges you to another realm. The dark game is already triggered."
Sweetie Belle asks. "What do you mean?"
"If you lose this duel, you will be transferred into our realm." Mana coughs. "And our world is more death than this place."
Sweetie Belle grits her teeth, and draw a card. "I activated 'Red Eyes Insight'." A card flies from her deck to the graveyard, then another card flies into her hoof. "I'm gonna fusion Red Eyes monster, by using 'Red Eyes Fusion'." Red Eyes and a skeleton are flying into the votex. After a while, a black dragon with bone-masked and bone-covered chest appeared from the votex. "Here comes 'Archfiend Black Skull Dragon' (lv8/ 3200 ATK/ 2800 DEF)
Sombra grins. "What now? You can't defeat me with that dragon?"
Sweetie Belle coughs. "Then I will do that next turn. Archfiend, attack that tuner monster."
The dragon takes a deep breath, then breathes fire at the gear monster. Sombra laughs. "I will flip my set card..." He tries to flip the card but it doesn't work. "What's happening?" The flame goes through the stallion body as the stallion tries to resist the heat.
Sombra : 4800 LP
Sombra is trying to get up, but the dragon casts a magic circle and aiming at him. Then a black dragon flew into him and exploded. Sombra cries in pain from the explosion.
Sombra : 2400 LP.
Sombra tries to get up and sees the black dragon glaring at him. Sombra is crawling back. "What..."
"When 'Archfiend Black Skull Dragon' battle, nothing can be activated." Sweetie Bell set a card. "And when the battle phrase is over, if this card is battled, I can shuffle one 'Red Eyes' monster from my graveyard to deal you damage equal to its ATK point." Sweetie Belle sees the stallion's body is missing some parts. The white filly waves her hoof in front of Sombra. "Now, get up and do your turn."
Rarity and others watch the duel silently. For them, this is a one-sided duel that belongs to Sweetie Belle. Rarity asks. "Twilight, do you know anything about... Malefic?"
Twilight shakes her head. "No. Not even in my book record about them, but Sweetie Belle knows everything about them."
"I will ask her about this." Rarity slams the wall. "After this."
"Remember she doesn't even know us around here." Twilight tries to blast the wall but it doesn't cracking a bit.
Sombra smashes the table but it is not broken, then he screams and draws his cards. When he looks at the drawing card, he immediately puts it on the table. "I activated 'Raigeki'." Thunder strikes the black dragon. The black dragon is shining bright, then exploded. The flame from the exploded go throught both of them and decreasing their LP.
Sweetie Belle : 1800 LP
Sombra: 0 LP
Sombra is shocked when his LP drops to zero. "What.. what have you done?"
"The trap card, 'Red Eyes Burn'. When a face-up 'Red Eyes' monster(s) is destroyed, I can target one of the destroyed monsters and inflict equal ATK points on both of us."
Sombra's body fades into darkness. "I will take my revenge. Remember that." And then he disappears into the dark.
The cage is slowly disappearing. Rarity will run to her sister but she's too weak to do that. Twilight is waiting for the cage disappears. Sweetie Belle sees her front hoof returning. The white filly rubs her head. "So... what will we do now? Rescuring 'Brick Eyes' or some sort?"
Mana puts her scepter on the ground. "You destroyed him in this duel"
"Like I said before, if you know what deck your opponent uses, it will be an easy duel." Sweetie Belle huffs. "And Malefic is a bad deck, not worth dueling with."
Red Eyes sits on the filly's head. "Anyway, shall we go? I have a chance to laugh at this 'god' right now."
The blue mare teleports Sweetie Belle and Mana away as they laugh. Rarity tries to break through the wall, but it's too late. They are already gone.
