Blueblood lay on the ground in defeat. Just unable to believe it, he lost. Again.
"How? How could I lose again?" He question, looking up to see Sweetie holding her hoof out.
"I get you Blueblood, everypony else was just jealous on you being a prince but Celestia paid no mind to you. If you don't mind, I'll like to help you with that problem" Sweetie Belle said
"R-really? After everything I put you though?"
"The past is the past. Life and forgot or you'll never move on" Sweetie Belle said
"You got any more quotes in here" Blueblood joked getting up.
"Maybe give me sometime" Sweetie replied.
"Well you won, you earn the last Equestrian God" Blueblood said, giving Sweetie Belle the God card.
"Thank you" Sweetie said with a smile before the ground started shaking.
Sweetie Belle, Blueblood and Sweetie's friends looked at a large stone castle rising from the ground. The ponies in Ponyville looked in confusion, with they small town getting covered by the shadow of the castle.
A dark light rose from the castle, hitting the blue sky turn it as dark as a shadow. With it spreading across the land of Equestria with each pony, zebra, griffon couldn't believe they eyes at what is happening.
But to Sweetie Belle it meant one thing.
"Master Chase" she said, causing Apple Bloom to look at her.
"Ya sure?" Apple Bloom question, before Sweetie Belle ran away from the challenge.
Blueblood step forward when Apple Bloom held out her hoof to stop him.
"She needs to do this by herself" Apple Bloom said
Sweetie jumped on the bed her head in her pillow.
"I can't. I'm not ready. He will win and this Age of Shadows will last forever" Sweetie Belle said to herself.
"I can't do this by myself"
"Who says you'll be by yourself?" A voice question with Sweetie head lifting up.
Seeing her cards on the floor that she didn't even know that she threw.
"We're by your side no matter how hard the challenge is" her Black Luster Solider said.
"You need to save Scootaloo and those Film Flam brothers. With us behind you back" her Dark Magician said, with Sweetie looking at her new Equestrian Gods.
"Annoy them, they don't like talking" her Dark Magician Girl stated
"Are you three with me? I want you be on my side, I would like to have you as friends then just cards" Sweetie Belle question.
"I am, you was able to defeat Silfer and Obelisk and read me" Ra said
"It looks like you need the help, as much I don't like children tea parties this maybe fun" Silfer said
"I get to destroy a evil master, count me in!" Obelisk said, with Sweetie nodding with a smile.
The young put on her duel disk, placing her deck in the deck slot. Smiling, looking into the mirror she nodded at her ready for battle.
"Rarity I'm off to save the world by playing a children trading card game!" Sweetie Belle yelled when she got close to the front door.
"Be back before dinner!" Rarity called back
"Okay, love ya" Sweetie Belle said before leaving.
Even without her friends by her side, she somehow knew that they somehow got her back. With the young filly standing outside the giant stone gates that slowly open.
Sweetie Belle walked though the empty halls, walking on the red carpet with torches lighting the way. unreadable words lay on the walls.
It was truly a site to see, the grand castle roof miles above her. Sweetie felt like an ant in the large room, it was quite over whelming. To say the less.
"Well, well, well. Look what the cat drag in" Amber said standing in front of the door leading to the throne room.
"Remember us?" Knuckles question, standing next to her.
"Amber and Knuckles it about time you two did something!" Sweetie Belle cried out
"Yes I think so too, Master Chase trust us to destroy you" Amber stated
"Wait, we can't duel it will be unfair two against one!" Sweetie Belle said, causing Knuckles to laugh.
"We don't play fair" Knuckles said
"Then it a good thing, she's not dueling alone" a voice said with the three seeing Blueblood walking to stand next to Sweetie.
"Blueblood, how did you get in?" Sweetie Belle wondered
"Simple. I just follow you, now let show these two the place they belong" Blueblood said, powering up his duel disk with Sweetie doing the same.
Amber and Knuckles powered up theirs with two large green circles, Amber one locking with Sweetie Belle. While Knuckles locked with Blueblood.
"Let's duel"
"I'll start by activating my magic card Dark World Dealings each player has to draw a card and discard a card. Now come back my Silva, Warlord of The Dark World and I end my placing one card face down and another in face down defense"
"Then I guess I'll go and I summon my Fire Princess in attack mode" Amber said causing a lady with gray hair wearing a orange dress to the field.
"Next, I'll set one card and end my turn" Amber ended.
"My move and I active Rain of Mercy"
Sweetie Belle: 4000 - 5000
Blueblood: 4000 - 5000
Amber: 4000 - 5000
Knuckles: 4000 - 5000
"Stupid child, my Fire Princess her effect is every time I gain life points. You two lose five hundred" Amber explain with an smile.
Sweetie Belle: 5000 - 4500
Blueblood: 5000 - 4500
"Next I active my Monster Reborn to bring back my Dark Magician in attack mode and place two card face down and end my turn" Sweetie Belle said making Knuckles draw.
"I will not fail you lady Sweetie Belle" The Dark Magician said when it returned to the field.
"My move then, I active my magic card The A. Forces. Making all warriors and spell casters Amber and I control gain two hundred attack. Then I'll set one card and end" Knuckles said leaving himself open.
"My move now then I set one card and summon my Card Guard in attack mode. With him, he gains three hundred attack" Blueblood said causing Knuckles to raise his eyebrow.
"Now Sillva, attack Knuckles!" Blueblood ordered
"You active my trap card A Hero Emerges. Now you have to choose one card from my hoof for me to summon" Knuckles explain.
"Your far left card" Blueblood chose
"Good pick. For me, I summon my Bluster Blader in attack mode" Knuckles said causing a knight with a giant sword, wearing purple armor and attack power at 2800.
Blueblood: 4500 - 4000
"Let me show them what they should fear Knuckles. I summon my Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4" Amber said summoning a metal bird to the field.
"My move now. I active my Burden of The Mighty. Lowing your monsters attack by one hundred for each star" Sweetie Belle said
Knuckles watched his Buster Blader 2800 attack go to 2100. While Amber watched her Fire Princess attack go to 900 and her Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4. Go to 1200.
"Now Dark Magicain destroy Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4" Sweetie Belle said destroy Amber's bird.
Amber: 5000 - 3700
"Why thank you Sweetie Belle. Because you destroyed Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4. I can now summon my Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" Amber said with a smile.
A larger metal bird replaced the smaller one staying at it 2300 attack power.
"Wait shouldn't it attack gone down?" Sweetie Belle question
"Well Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6 isn't effected by magic cards" Amber stated
"Fine I end my turn with one monster face down"
"Don't worry Sweetie Belle. I'll show these two a thing or two" Blueblood said.
"I active my magic card Gateway to Dark World to summon my Sillva, Warlord of Dark World. Now he wants a rematch, destroy the Buster Blader!" Blueblood said, causing Knuckles solider to fall.
Knuckles: 5000 - 4700
"I guess I have to do everything you moron. First my Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6 gets destroyed to summon my Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8." Amber said, causing a giant metal bird to the field with it 3000 attack power.
"First I will active my dragon effect yo get rid of that annoying magic card" Amber said causing her dragon shooting black fire destroying Sweetie Belle's magic card.
"I then I active my magic card Hammer Shot. This let's me destroy the strongest monster, so say goodbye to your Dark Magician"
Sweetie Belle watched her Dark Magician get hit by a giant wooden hammer.
"I'm sorry that I fail you" Dark Magician before he got destroyed.
"I finish" Amber stated
"I active my magic card Change of Hearts to get your Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8. Now I sacrifice my two monsters to summon my friend Scootaloo's best monster. I call forth The Blue Eyes White Dragon!"
"What?" Blueblood question
"Alright Blue Eyes these are the ponies that hurt Scootaloo. Destroy Amber's Fire Princess, white lightning attack!"
Amber: 3700 - 2100
"My move then" Knuckles said drawing his next card. His eyes drifted to Amber.
"I active my Black Luster Ritual to summon my Black Luster Solider in attack mode"
"You finally did something right for a change. Looks like your not completely brain dead" Amber said causing Knuckles anger to grow.
"Black Luster Solider attack Amber" Knuckles ordered
"What?!" Amber yelled just before the Black Luster Solider attack her.
Amber: 2100 - 0
Amber eyes colour grew gray before she fell to the ground.
"My move now and I set one card and place one monster face down. Your move Sweetie" Blueblood said.
Sweetie shock her head, moving her eyes away from Amber soulless body "You shouldn't have done that! I active my Black Luster Ritual and use Blueblood's monsters to summon the Black Luster Soldier in attack mode!"
"Well it seems you got my name right" The Black Luster Soldier said causing Sweetie to roll her eyes.
"Destroy Knuckles, Black Luster Soldier" Sweetie Belle said, causing both the Black Luster Soldiers to fight and get destroyed.
"Now Blue Eyes, attack Knuckles"
The blue eye dragon fired lightning at the stallion. Knocking him back.
Knuckles: 4700 - 1700
"I summon my Dark Blade in attack mode now attack Blueblood's face down"
A large steel monster rose to the field with 2100 defense.
Knuckles: 1700 - 300
"I pass" Blueblood said
""Wait!" Knuckles cried out
"Blue Eyes destroy Dark Blade and finish this duel!"
Knuckles: 300 - 0
Amber and Knuckles lay soulless on the ground. All colour lost in their eyes.
"Blueblood, get them out of here. I can face Chase by my self" Sweetie Belle said.
"Right" Blueblood said with a nodded.
Sweetie Belle entered the door to the throne room.
"Chase!" She called out
"Sweetie Belle, I been looking forward to this. You and me, the final battle. Welcome to my realm, the Shadow Realm" Master Chase said, laughing a evil laugh.
