Yu-Gi-Oh! Friendship is Dueling 8: Reunions

by Bahamut0

Duel 14: Dark Dreams

Rarity stirred as her dreams changed. In them, she saw all of her friends having a good time. But in the place of her, there was another girl. One who seemed to have her beat in every field. And they seemed toignore Rarity each time she called out to them. "Everyone! I'm right here!", Rarity called out. But it was of no use. Her friends couldn't hear her, or they chose to ignore her. Soon, Rarity was all alone in a black area and a single spotlight shined down on her. "Maybe...I'm not so rare after all..." Rarity began to cry. The black substance that had seeped into her dreams began to twist and condense into a familiar form and approached Rarity. Rarity heard footsteps, and saw Nightmare looking down on her. "Oh. Moon. I'm so sorry you have to see me like this."

"Bad dreams?", the false Nightmare asked.

"Yes.", Rarity said with a sigh.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"In my dreams...I was replaced with another girl. One who was far more generous than I ever was, and my friends kept ignoring me no matter how loudly I cried out to them! Not even Inferno heard me..." The false Nightmare smiled.

"What if I told you there was a way to make sure that dream never comes to pass?"

"What do you mean?"

"Allow me to give you my power. Power that will make sure those fears never trouble you again. All you need do is Let. Me. In."

Rarity hesitated before taking a deep breath. "Proceed." The false Nightmare smiled, and entered Rarity! Back in the real world, Rarity underwent a transformation. She grew in height and her skin turned dark purple. Her hair grew longer and became more ethereal and gained a streak of white. As the transformation finished, she opened her eyes. They had become pale, cold blue and had vertical pupils like Nightmare's. Diamond-like glimmers were withing her irises. "So my friends think they can find a replacement? Well I'll show them. Bacuse now...there's nobody quite like me. And Inferno..." Nightmare Rarity briefly flared her power and smiled. "It's you who will become MY treasure." A new deck materialized in her hand. "And now I also have the tools to make it all possible."

Regardless, how do you like the story so far? Enjoying all the character spotlights?

[HorribleFrenRen]

Speaking of my earlier point in plot threads, if the overall narrative doesn't connect with the story it's filler. I know this arc can be good but I strongly encourage that it does have a point in the fight against the hooded figure and sacred beasts and that this point is shown by the end of the arc.

Ignore this if it does but we aren't supposed to know that yet.

Edit: 7999578
Also to answer your question I just saw, it was great. Burst's dedication to Moon not being alone was probably the romantic thing you have written Imo, even if this is filler that chapter was good. Character spotlights are alright, though all these new characters are starting to sap away screen time from Inferno, Ice, and Gold (do not make their presence feel forced however, then the fact that you have so many characters will affect all of them if old and new characters have to be forced into the picture so that proper screentime is given)

I knew it. I saw that coming.

But now we are out of luck.

When are we going to see Thunder meeting Spitfire?

Well Jorden, some OCs are one-shot characters. However, Tyrannus, North and Akage are actually joining the main cast. Hope that clears up any confusion.

If I can't cover it in this story, I have a one-shot planned for him that involves his relationship with meeting Spitfire.

[HorribleFrenRen]

Okay, I hope they can serve better purposes in future stories, because right now they feel like they were just introduced to be love interests to the ponies that were minor characters in your story so far. Also I'm glad because if the one-offs stayed we'd have 4 silvers and 3 thunders instead of just... 2 thunders...

and this is coming from the guy who thinks Tyrannus is cool btw

Trust me. They'll get their time to shin soon enough.

[I need a new name tbh]

I'm calling a few things here because o just read these

1. Blitz is the mysterious figure.

2. Nightmarity is due to the Tantbus.

3. Nightmarity is going to become canon in the show.
