1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters

While this card is face-up on the field, each time a Synchro Monster(s) is Synchro Summoned, draw 1 card for each.

Rainbow Dash and Spitfire were thrown into the room from the portal. Rainbow Dash saw Mark standing at the back of the room. She charged at Mark but found that he was just a projection on screen when she crashed face first into the wall.

“That must have hurt,” said Mark. “What have you done with our friends?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“You mean them?” asked Mark.

Pointing to an empty spot on the wall. A screen came up and showed the action as Rainbow Dash and Spitfire watched. Alex, Sammy, Maddie, Scott, Lucas, Orion, Helena, Charley, Eli, Spike, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Zelda, Braeburn, and Ryan were walking into a room similar to the one they were in from five different doors. Everyone looked very happy to see each other.

“Is everyone alright?” asked Eli.

“Not you,” said Ryan.

Rainbow Dash was confused. Suddenly, Ryan quickly grabbed Eli’s sword, and killed Orion, Helena, Lucas, and Sammy in one swing. Rainbow Dash was petrified upon the first sight of her friend’s blood. He then killed the rest effortlessly, except for Eli. After a small struggle, Ryan decapitated Eli. Rainbow Dash watched in horror as the guardian’s head fell onto the floor.

“NO!” she cried.

“Do you see this now?” asked Mark, as Rainbow Dash was being consoled by Spitfire.

“Ryan was a grifter; one of the best in the bureau. Once we finally had all of the cards in our hand, we were able to dispose of them. Despite our, embarrassing loss on the battlefield, we couldn’t be more thrilled that every force that could stop our plan were all assembled here. Now he has fulfilled his job. Well, not yet.”

Ryan on the screen was seen falling through a hole magically formed under his feet. A hole opened up in the ceiling of the room where Rainbow Dash and Spitfire were. Ryan’s clothes and face were covered in blood. He initially looked happy to see Rainbow Dash, but Spitfire held him down while Rainbow Dash wailed on him.

“You no good traitor!” she yelled.

Ryan was able to break free of their grip.

“Traitor?” he asked. “What are you talking about?”

“Don’t play dumb with me! I see the blood is all over your hands.”

“Blood?” Ryan was scared and shocked upon the sight of blood.

"Let’s see how you like it to be killed by someone you thought you trusted.” Rainbow Dash and Spitfire walked slowly towards Ryan. Before they could strike, three circles enveloped around each of them.

“I see,” said Rainbow. “Looks like this is how it has to be.”

Rainbow Dash and Spitfire unsheathed their duel disks. Ryan knew that someone had trapped them. He reluctantly activated his duel disk. They drew five cards from their decks.

“DUEL!” they all yelled.

Rainbow Dash couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Even with a handful of life points, he was fully welcoming death.

“Stop it already Ryan!” she yelled. “Just take your turn again, I’ll give you that much!”

“No,” he quietly said.

“You heard her,” yelled Spitfire.

“No.”

“Give her the respect she deserves and fight her.”

“No!”

“Just do it!”

“NO! I won’t! She’s my best friend! I won’t hurt Rainbow Dash.”

Rainbow Dash was starting to well up with tears. “You killed my friends. I will never accept you as a friend!”

“Killed your friends? I didn’t do that.”

“Don’t lie to me! I see the blood.”

“I don’t even know where that came from. When we were sucked into the portal, I fell inside here and was attacked by you.”

“Stop lying!”

“I’m not! I’m through with hurting even my friends to get what I want.”

He threw his D-Pad on the ground. Ryan’s words started ringing true to Rainbow Dash.

“I meant it when I said that you are my best friend. Even in my time of suffering, you were there to support me. But if this is where our friendship ends, then so be it. Thank you for saving me.”

Ryan threw his arms out in the shape of a cross, waiting for the end.

Rainbow Dash was tempted to draw from her deck, but the sincerity of Ryan’s words couldn’t have been faked. She set her arm down.

“I believe in you,” she whispered, a tear rolling off her cheek onto the floor.

All of the sudden, a bright light descended from the room. The light revealed the circles that Ryan, Rainbow Dash and Spitfire were trapped in. The light then turned into beams that seemed to erase the seals holding them. Ryan and Spitfire were confused, but Rainbow Dash seemed to know what was happening. As the light subsided, everyone could see that the source of the light was the Element of Loyalty, having been restored by Ryan and Rainbow Dash’s bond.

The two began to step closer, realizing that they weren’t held captive anymore. Ryan then fell to his knees again and broke down. Rainbow Dash flew to Ryan and hugged him warmly, stroking his back for comfort. Spitfire could see that Ryan was telling the truth now too, and she went over and hugged him too. Ryan wrapped both of his arms around his friends and openly cried.

“What are you doing?” yelled a voice.

Ryan, Rainbow Dash, and Spitfire, alerted by the voice turned around and faced the wall. The wall, however was gone, and replaced with the other half of the room. Standing at the end, was Mark with Twilight Sparkle trapped in her stone prison with the corrupted element of magic floating at his side.

“Don’t you know what he did with your friends?”

Rainbow Dash stepped up. “He didn’t do that.”

“You’re going to believe his lies?”

“You mean like the ones you told Ryan about being able to save his son?”

Mark knew that Rainbow Dash couldn’t be tricked anymore. “Fine! Then I’ll take all of you down.” Similar circles formed around all four duelists. “You want to pass me, beat me first.”

“Gladly,” said Ryan.

Ryan and Mark activated their duel disks while Rainbow Dash and Spitfire unsheathed theirs. They all drew five cards from their deck.

“DUEL!” they yelled.

“Where am I?” she asked.

Rainbow Dash and Spitfire tackled Twilight with hugs. Ryan looked happy at their playing.

“What happened?” Rainbow Dash spoke. “Ryan-”

“We,” corrected Ryan. “We saved you.”

“Thank you,” said Twilight. “With a friend as great as Rainbow Dash, it was the very least I could do for her.”

Rainbow Dash blushed. Twilight put the Element of Magic on her head.

“Where is everyone else?” asked Twilight.

Immediately after asking, the door opened.

“I guess we’ll find out,” said Rainbow Dash.

The four of them walked outside together.
