Yugi walked into a ware house his duel disk on as he looked to see in a cage his mother, and before her someone in a cape and hood dressed in all black nothing could be seen of him.

the man then moved a hand making a ring of Black fire appear as he said, "I not only know of your past and he items but how to reforged them with your soul! Time for a shadow game Yugi The winner shall leave and when you lose your soul so connect to the pharaoh shall restore them!"

Yugi growled as he turned on his duel disk and said, "Leave my mother out of this she is normal! She doesn't know a thing!" he said clearly enraged.

The man smiled as he put on a duel disk and said, "how else would I have gotten you to come play my little shadow game!"

Meanwhile in another world.

Celestia flapped her wings as she happily said, "and finally retirement no more weight of the crown no more council and nobles! NO MORE BLUE BLOOD!" she said happily as she did a midair spin. But then she put a hoof to her hand, "but the ponies still know me as princess Celestia that would make finally getting a date a problem.. Dam it!... I finally get Twilight princess enough to hand the crown to her and I'm still stuck in it's shadows for who knows how long till no one remembers my name so I can start dating! I'm long lived not immortal and eternally young!" she said as it hit her.

She then sighed before remembering the human world mirror portal and she smiled, "Another world that's it! I'll retire to another world were no one knows me so I can start a new life and get a date and hopefully a family so I don't die a lonely old nag!... Why are ponies lining up to date Luna but no me?" She said having to state this fact.

She then opened a portal and flow through it not noticing a strange golden eye symbol in it till it was to late and she found herself in a void watching to people playing a game then she saw someone who looked like the other one and she was confused.

the man then said, "I am pharaoh Atem I was the ruler of Egypt, My peoples magic worked around bets, and summoning immortal monsters with a love for battle to fight for us! But so many abused it I locked it away and tried to take it all with me but I failed, it lives on in knock off of the seven items it was locked away in. Now an owner of a knock of is trying to reforged them and release it! Sense than normal this games are images made with technology but not so much this time!"

celestia nodded and trotted over to the human and asked, "and what does that have to do with me and why the one down there looks like you!" she then tried to touch him but her hoof went through him and her eyes widen as she bit her lip in fear!.

Atem said, "to make it simple he is my current incarnation! My second life if you will! I'm just an echo of the past! Hoping I can stop my people form abusing magic again!"

Celestia nodded at the ghost then she tried to touch herself and it worked as she sighed in relief "Few I thought I died!"

Atem watched as a copy of the millennium stone appeared and items in ghostly slowly coming solid form as both lose life points appeared, "No but you will be! I am here because of my connect to the puzzle you some how teleport in to it messing up this spell! No telling what will happen!"

Celestia's eyes widen as she looked down.

It appeared to be the current incarnation of the pharoah's turn he drew having only three cards in his hand, now and no board against the mask beast on his enemies' side his life points where 2000 the enemy 4000.

the enemy laughed as he held his two cards, "You are losing boy!"

Yug discard a monster card, "I use king of the swamps effect I discard him to add polymerization to my hand!" the card then flow form his deck and came to his hand he then played a spell card, "Premature burial I pay 800 life points to return King of the swamp to the board!" he said as the monster appeared in attack mode ( king of the swamp atk 500) ( yugi life points 2000-1200)

before the hooded man could laugh Yugi played Polymerization, "Now I use his affect to fill in for one monster in a fusion to merge him with the Black luster in my hand! Come forth dragon master Knight!"

In a moment the black luster appeared and merged into King of the swamp and in a flash dragon master Knight appeared before Yugi ( dragon master knight atk 5000)

the hood man gasped as Yugi held out his hand and said, "Now he destroys your beast!" in a moment the three blue eyes heads fired destroying the ritual monster ( Hooded man life points 4000-2800)

Yugi then set his last card face down.

Celestia blinked as she looked to the passed out women in the cage and said, "What's her problem?"

Atem then said, "he is his mother captured and poisoned to force him into this game of reforaging! He isn't aware of it though!"

Celestia's eyes widen as she flow down to her and touched her making her glow as she seemed to be slowly turning into light and merging in as the duel continued.

The hood man drew and laughed as he said, "you think such a lucky draw will stop me! I play form my hand hammer shot as there is only one monster on the board good bye to your knight!" in a moment dragon master knight was smashed by a giant hammer killing it!

the masked man then smiled and summoned out Rouge doll in attack mode ( rouge doll atk 1600)

Yugi then hit a button on his duel disk as he said, "Call of the haunted revive dark magician!" he said as the trap popped up and Dark magician burst form the ground ( dark magican atk 2500)

the hood man then played a spell card and said, "Mask of Accursed now your magican can't attack and you will lose 500 life points each of my turn!" the mask then attached to the screaming and struggling dark magician. He then set a card, and as Yugi drew to start his turn he hit a button making mask of restrict pop up.

Yugi sighed and said, "So now no tributes!" he then played his spell card, "Pot of dichotomy I won't be able to attack anyway so let's shuffle back in Kuriboh dark magician girl and beta the magnet warrior back into my deck then let me draw two cards!"

He then shuffled the cards in put his deck back into the duel disk and drew as he smiled and held as he set a card and set a monster In face down defense mode and said, "Well I'm done!"

the hood man then drew making dark magician's mask glow ( Yugi life points 1200-700) the man set a card face down and said, "I'm done! And in two more turns so will you!"

Yugi growled as he drew and smiled and hit a button on his duel disk and said, "go dust tornado destroy the mask on my magician's face!"

his face down card then popped up into a tornado that head to dark magician but it stopped and shattered like glass as Yugi looked to see the hoodman had revealed seven tools of the bandit ( the man life points 2800-1800) he laughed as he said, "Nice try but I give up one thousand life points and thanks to this no trap!"

Yugi smiled as he flipped up his face down monster " Penguin solider! ( atk 750) and the monster glow as he said, "Now I can send to monsters on the field back to there owners hand I chose rouge doll and dark magician!" In a moment the mask shattered as dark magician became a card in Yugi's hand and the hooded man gasped in shock.

As Yugi set a card he said, "Attack!" In a moment the penguin slashed the man with his sword ( hoodman life points 1800-1050)

the hooded man drew and said, "So I can just summon back out rouge doll she has 850 more attack and you only have 700 life points you can't win! You just coast yourself a turn of life!" he said as he summoned the doll only for Yugi's face down to flip up to shadow spell and rouge doll was chained ( rouge doll atk 1600-900)

The man's eyes widen as he gasped, "I have to end my turn!" he seemed shocked.

Yugi drew and looked at his hand Dark magician and summoned skull he sighed as he changed his monster to defense mode ( Penguin solider def 500) "My turn is over!"

The man drew and looked to his doll and said, "thanks to my own trap I have no moves!"

Yugi then drew and looked at his card and smiled he then switch his solider to attack mode and summoned out Feral imp ( atk 1300)

Yugi smiled as he said, "Ok imp attack shock blast!" the imp then held out it's claws and shocked the doll destroying it ( the hooded man life points 1050-750) he then point to his penguin and smiled, "And he slash for the win on my part!" The little bird then slashed making the man burst into fire as his life points hit zero and the items in the stone became solid as rainbow light glow as he said, "something is messing up the ritual.

At that point Yugi's mother became an anthro version of Celestia and the newly merged women got up and looked to see a rainbow light dome slowly growing and when it hit Yugi he became a male anthro Alicorn with white fur his mane was the same as his hair and he gained a tail the color of his mane as he blacked out and the seven items flow out with the puzzle flow out the roof with the other items but it shattered.

Celestia held her head as she stood up using her magic to brake the cage as she said, "I merged with her… wait why am I the dominate one.. and why don't I have any moments of being with my son… SHE JUST LEFT HIM ALONE THE ONE THING I ALWAYS WANT ,AND SHE DIDN'T GIVE A BUCK!" she yelled before walking over to the knocked out Yugi and picking him up as she sighed sadly holding him for a second, ".. My son!" she cried as she carried him out, "I am so sorry for what the two halves of me did One flying blindly leading to what ever just happened and the other not being a mother I'll make up for it I promise!" she said as she walked out to see people turning into anthro ponies as the dome covered them as it grow and she sighed sadly at what happened.
