Duel Monsters.

A card game that has taken the world by storm. Ever since its creation, players of the game, known as duelists, compete worldwide to determine who is the best. As popularity grew, so has the format. What started as tabletop games transitioned to holograms, then AR, and now they've taken over the virtual realm known as Link Vrains.

However, the digital realm has secrets best left untouched. And when they are threatened to be unraveled, the guardians, the Ignis, seek out partners to help protect them. Fate led them to find the Rainbooms and a few others that they found themselves compatible with. With AI and human allied together, they must face the evil that lurks beneath the surface of the virtual world and reality.

It is time to link together and face the future! Deck set! Into the Vrains!

A crossover series combining My Little Pony Equestria Girls and Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains. The series uses elements from Vrains, but I have taken some liberties to make its own world. Links are prevalent, but other summoning methods like Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Pendulum will be included. There will also be different master rules used depending on the format.

This story was inspired by countless Yu-Gi-Oh! fics on and off this site. They include:

Monty Eggman's My Little Pony: Friendship is Numerous

Banchee531's Yu-Gi-Oh! Stories

Drakey C's Yu-Gi-Oh! stories

Brony-wan-kenobi's Yu-Gi-Oh! Stories

Night-Quill's Equestria Girls: Duel Monsters

RitsuD95's Regenesis, A Duelist Story

Darthvalgaav's Dueling Around Canterlot

And additional Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains fics like Hidden Memories

Special thanks to Monty Eggman and Banshee531 for their help in making this story a reality.

Me: sleep
Snow fire: makes an eqg/yugioh crossover fanfic
Me: real shit

This was an awesome start! I can tell this is going to be another winner, just like your Build story. Flash being the champion in Vrains is awesome and I am excited to see what happens next in the story. I honestly like the Vrains anime too, but I am way behind on it. I know a few things but haven't really been able to watch it regularly. I figured it would show up on Amazon eventually like the other Yugioh shows have. But I am interested to see what approach you take in this continuity.

I really liked how you were able to work in the backlash that the Master Rule and Link Monsters caused when they were first introduced. The duel between Flash and Lyra in their alter egos was awesome. I think Flash did good with his Armatos Legio deck, and he is just going to get better with it. I wonder if we'll see more of his Hero deck though? I assume he could have won that duel against Lyra if he used his second face down card, but probably lost on purpose for some reason?

This was good. Very good indeed. Can't wait to see what else you have!

First chapter and we have the anime exclusive (and personal favorite link deck) Armatos Legio? I'm in love

1. I had a feeling Flash was Sentinel. :ajbemused: The fact that he lost his first match with Lyra threw me off though. Props for that. :twilightsheepish:
2. Pinkie is just a fountain of spoilers. :rainbowlaugh:

I assume he could have won that duel against Lyra if he used his second face down card, but probably lost on purpose for some reason?

Why didn't I think of that? :applejackunsure:

10119161
I think you can be forgiven since you have said before you don’t fully understand the game and the second face down didn’t have much attention drawn to it, or why Flash didn’t use it.

10118415
Thanks. I'm surprised you haven't pointed out Pinkie's Fourth Wall Break to rant about Konami.

10119458
That was hilarious! I don't have enough context to fully understand what it's about, but hey, Pinkie's fourth wall-breaking alone is funny.:rainbowlaugh:

10119458
That was hilarious too, but it is too be expected of her since she is Pinkie. Plus her “theory” on where the Cyberse monsters came from.

10119641
Yes. I plan to expand more on the Duel Spirits within the Cyberse and Data Storms, as the concept of spirits is an integral factor of Yu-Gi-Oh! and Vrains didn't seem to touch on that too much.

10118762
Thank you. I will admit it was a bit tricky to get their playstyle without Judgment Arrows. I don't plan on giving Sentinel that card until later as it would bring about a power creep. And given how limited the anime exclusive deck seems to be, I plan on introducing more original support cards.

I was thinking about including cards that are based on figures of Roman Empire Leadership, like Nero, Caesar, Octavius, etc.

10120233
I wouldn't worry too much about Judgement Arrows being op. It has no protecion and can nuke a players field when popped. I only say this because Armatos Legio can't Extra Link easy without using the bigger links (multiples of Magnus Dux, Centurion, Legatus Legionis)

Most notably, the Legio main deck monsters are named after Roman forces, so there might be some left to use. You can make some new Link 3 or higher monsters refer to the Emperors

10120322
Thanks. Well, I actually plan on making an Armatos Legio card that works to protect Judgment Arrows. To help give them an edge for a later antagonist.

And yeah. That can work.

10120349
Thanks a bunch. I really appreciate this. I definitely needed more variety for the main deck. And you just gave an idea for a new sort of extra link, one that would definitely make duelists hate the Armatos Legio deck.

Wait...is the update time the same with your Kamen Rider Story?

10121747
Not exactly. It varies due to how much research is needed to write the duels.

I feel left out of this line up somehow

10122098
Ah! I'm sorry! I forgot! Don't worry, I fixed it!

A very strong start to what I'm sure will be a compelling series later on. I'm glad I was able to help you out with this, even if it was only just a little bit of help. Keep up the good work!

I just know Pinkie and Ai are going to hit it off just for the sake of pun. seriously all of his spells are puns

interesting deck style(s) for Flash/Sentinel and excellent choice for Lyra/Mystic; side note: the aliases you gave everyone were spot on so far; looking forward to what ELSE you have planned 🙂

A bit surprised when I found a Vrains crossover fic by chance pretty much.
Interested in it too.

So um.. yeah, looking forward to see what happens next.
Wonder if Spike might get to duel if he appears in this?
I also wonder if anyone from the Vrains cast aside from the Ignis will appear too?

In this story how is playmaker???

In my opinion I wanna see the characters in Yu-Gi-Oh Interact with the characters in mlp That's all I'm asking

Who will have Playmaker's deck Twilight?

Oh poor Twilight. She has to deal with Ai's antics from here on out. Poor girl.
On the other hand, having our lovable goofball might improve her abilities as a duelist. Excited to see where you're going to take this.
In other news, things are heating up as the flaming body of GUTS is on his way!

It is great to see this update again! This was very well done, very epic. I am sorry if this is a bit hard for you but you can take as long as you need to work on it, because I am enjoying this.

Looks like Twilight finally appears here. Poor thing is still struggling at CPA. In most stories I’ve seen she hasn’t ever had a problem with dueling, so this will be a very interesting arc for her. But she did great in her duel against KoH, and I like her deck since I am a fan of Pendulums. I thought it was kinda sweet how Spike inadvertently helped her by getting her to forget about her new cards for a moment and leave them in her deck. The little guy is still helping her. It is also interesting that Ai is going to be with Twilight now. That’s certainly going to be a fun dynamic to watch.

Also, that Varis Rifle guy is pretty mysterious already. The three things thing he said he got from his dad was Playmaker’s usual saying in the anime, so I wonder if that means he and Varis are related here?

Also, it was great to see a bit of Flash’s HERO deck. It was very impressive, and it seemed to have a good mix of various HERO cards instead of focusing entirely on one archetype.

Thanks for this again and I look forward to more, especially when we get to the Friendship Games in this canon, and Flash and Sci-Twi meet. One more thing, I noticed just a few small errors while reading through this.

If she can;t raise her score by beating the simulators at higher difficulty,
I don;t believe I have to explain to you why you’re here?
It wasn;t until later, after feeding him, that she had forgotten about setting the cards aside.

These are all supposed to have apostrophes.

KoH LP: 4000 - 5200 = 0

That’s supposed to be 5000, but it doesn’t matter too much since it is the same result either way.

I am a little surprised at Twilight. Since her grades are in danger, why is she trying over and over again with a deck that underperforms?

10389112
I disagree since pendulum summoning caused me to give up the game.

Also I cant really see this Twilight at this stage playing pendulum magicians since shes more about science than magic. Guess I have to keep waiting for someone to finally give her a mathmech deck.

10389196
Believe me. It was tough trying to figure out a good deck for this Twilight since I somehow kept relating her deck back to the Equestria Twilight. That and I’ve seen other Yugioh stories that gave Twilight a spellcaster type deck. I kept trying to figure out a fitting, yet strong deck for her. In the end I chose Pendulum because despite the restrictions from Master Rule 4, it’s still a solid deck to use. In this story, she made up for her lack of skill with a higher tier deck that could be easily made from structure decks due to her budgeting prioritizing her lab than cards. Furthermore, I was told the complex strategies like Endymion were fitting for human Twilight, rather than the monster typing. Besides, now that Ai with with her, now she can access the Cyberse, thus cards like Mathmech can be accessible.

I’ve actually considered decks like Kozmo and Tellarknight, but wasn’t sure if those fit her.

10389399
I guess that's why I like Darthvalgaavs yugioh stories, because he gives them unique decks that make sense. Like giving Twilight a Genex deck. Its unique and with the small backstory he gave her of having found memories playing Megaman with Shining, it really fits.

I'm sorry if its coming off like im railing on you. I just have a really bad taste for that mechanic plus there is an oversaturation of Twilight with both Endemion and Spellbooks. I mean, Shaddolls are spellcaster as well. Or you could have given her Glad Beasts since they are based on historical figures. Water Dragon or Chemcritters. Just a few ideas there

10389437
Yeah. That’s fair. Honestly she was the only one I was unsure about the exact deck for. I tried asking others, but they kept giving different perspectives that I didn’t know what was best. In the end, I decided on a deck that was complicated at first glance before adjusting to it properly. One that makes up for Twilight’s lack of dueling skills in this story for powerful effects and boards. And again, it was more of the complex mechanic than the actual typing. I also wanted to try something that set her apart from the rest of the girls for now as I’m still debating on the actual number of pendulum users in this story. For now, it’s just a limited number.

The same was with Fluttershy now that the Melffy archetype got released. Because let’s face it, those Melffy are absolutely adorable.

Shaddolls will also appear later....but I won’t say who is using them.

I'm so unfamiliar with Yugioh that honestly, all that stuff you were worrying about in the author's notes doesn't even apply to me. :twilightsheepish: This was great. So, what's the basic format of this story? We get one introduction each to the Ignis and their partners and then, change focus to getting the gang together and beating the Knights of Hanoi? If so, I'm really looking forward to the meet up and seeing what the group dynamic is going to be like.

I think this was a fine chapter and the two duels there.
Varis Rifle was pretty interesting to see as well(though disappointed there will by expys of Vrains characters instead of including the actual characters though..)

Though I am really disappointed that Spike is also still a dog in this. And pretty much a non-sapient one(and most likely no Equestrian Magic is going to be involved here so Spike is stuck as a plain old dog here).
I am just bummed this means he's not going to get to duel because he's a dog here(in fact he's going to be left out HARD due to being just a plain old dog).
I.. really wished the EQG writers didn't make him a dog. Spike really got screwed more ways than one when they thought it was funny to make him a dog instead of human..
Sorry if this was bothersome here, I am just saddened Spike is going to be left out in another YGO crossover story(especially in terms of dueling) due to he's a dog there..(especially the EQG related ones.)

10389813
He might be a dog in reality...but no one ever said he would be one in Link Vrains.

So...is this a Flashlight fic or an OCxSci-twi fic?

10390801
Still Flashlight...is what I would say. But I honestly haven’t placed much thought in shipping at this point. Even if it is, it won’t be a large focus.

Huh I didn't think you'd make sci two a newb

10388983

Like this?

"What's up meat baaaaaaag."

Twi: 'Sigh' Ai please shut your mouth.

10389887
But would he get to duel though?

I kind of had thoughts of Link Vrains allowing him to be not a dog but how would he be able to do it if he's not sentient at the moment? Like just a barking dog instead of being a talking dog. Like.. the magic did more than let him speak as a human, he gained the thought patterns/thought level of a human too from the looks of it.
Wonder how would he be exposed to Fluttershy's magic in this scenario?
Or he happens to be some unique dog with already the sentience/sapience/thought-level of a human(essentially like a human born in a body of a dog instead of a human's) but unable to speak as one?

Yeah.. sorry if I am being bothersome by the way with Spike there.

10416707
It's fine. To be honest, I never thought about Spike's role in this story. Sometimes I actually forget about him, unfortunately. I might end up redoing this part when I solidify what role I want to give Spike.

10416783
Ok.
Shame Spike is forgettable there though..
In fact I think he's forgettable in EQG due to the fact he's stuck as dog. Most of the time I can remember him, he's just.. THERE. Like a prop. They sure did not think this through when they made him a dog instead of human, right?

Looking forward on what you might come up with.
Hope it might be something big for Spike too.

10416811
Yeah. They did not plan that well.

I know. Even in my other story, I end up forgetting Spike's presence even during Twilight's moments. But given how thing will later play out, I'll do my best not to leave him behind. Twi's gonna need all the emotional support she can get. Well, not just her, but the others too.

10416851
Honestly Spike suffered big time in the long-run by him being a dog, in the show and in fanworks due to that.

I see.. shoot. Shame that Spike is most likely left out in Kamen Rider fics too, especially in ones where its due he's stuck as a dog and thus doesn't get to be a Rider..
Speaking of Kamen Rider, I got into that series some months ago. Not sure when if I might start reading your Kamen Rider Build fic or not. It is looking interesting though.

I do hope that Spike gets to duel(and is really good at it). It just stinks if he just gets left out from dueling and such. Especially being left out from the fun. I mean, dueling is really fun to do and such.

What's your fav Kamen Rider series by the way?

10417101
For me, it might be tied with Ryuki, Ex-Aid, and Zero-One as the number 1 spot for me.
With Zi-O, Den-O, Fourze, Build running up so far. Probably Wizard, Kiva and Blade or W maybe(probably Decade and OOO too?).
Granted the only series I saw fully(due to its hard to find subbed episodes) is Zero-One.
But Ryuki and Ex-Aid has a special mention due to being the first Kamen Rider series I was exposed too. With Ryuki's case being its English adaption years ago, Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. For Ex-Aid, it was the first clips I saw on YouTube of it and listening to its opening.
