So this is the final story in my One World Trilogy. I'm just going to thank everyone who has read my stories and give a double thanks to the reviewers. You guys rock! Well, I don't own YGO, MLP, Blue Dusk, or Timid Turvy.
Chapter 1
Hope's Light and her friends were heading home after school. They were more excited than usual though, since it was time for Spring Break.
"I'm so ready for break!" Rainbow Blitz called out, taking to the air. Apparently it was too fast, since he quickly dropped back to the ground, clutching his wing.
"Is your wing still hurt from the tournament?" Honeycrisp asked.
"You know dad offered to fix that?" Timid Turvy pointed out.
"I'm going to let this heal naturally," Blitz replies, "No fancy magic, just my body healing itself."
"Let's just hope it's healed up by the Pegasus Turbo Tournament," Daring Dash said, "Otherwise I'll have to enter without you."
The Pegasus Turbo Tournament was a Pegasus-only event that only the fastest participated in. Anypony who even got into semi-finals was almost guaranteed a spot on the pro circuit.
The friends continued their trip until they made it back to Hope's house. At the door they were greeted by Ditzy Do, Zach, and a plate of muffins. Muffins were obtained and everypony went to the living room. On the table in the middle, there was a letter addressed to Hope.
"What's that?" Turvy asked.
Hope picked up the letter and opened it. She read it for a second before her eyes widened.
"This is from Canterlot University!" Hope nearly screamed, "They've asked me to come up for an interview next month!"
Everypony began to congratulate Hope. Then Cherry Pie spoke above the rest.
"Why do you want to go to Canterlot University?" she asked.
"I want to be a doctor in magical theory," Hope replied.
Dusk pulled the letter from Hope's magical grasp and read it over, "Hey, the visit is the same day as the visit of the dignitaries from the Griffin Kingdom."
"Right," Zach said, flinging his hoof. He looked down at his hoof and frowned, "Dang it, I wish Spike was here to snap for me. Hooves." Then he looked back up, "You're going to go to the meeting with Twilight."
Everypony just looks at Zach.
"What?" he asked, "Night told me while I was returning a book to the library."
Everypony just stared for a minute before talking about their Spring Break plans.
"We're going to the Crystal Empire to visit Dinky, Pip, and her foal," Hope said, "He's so adorable."
"I've seen the pictures," Turvy pointed out, "It's true. I'm also going to the Empire with them."
"I'm heading to the Empire too," Dusk said, "We're visiting Uncle Shining and Aunt Cadence."
"Why is it that you two keep having each other's schedules cross?" the Pies asked.
Daring and Blitz got grins on their face that Hope knew all too well and said, "Nope!"
"But?" the rainbow-colored ponies began.
"Nope!"
"Well," Zach coughed, "I think I'm going to go and finish packing. I'll see you all later."
When Zach went upstairs and Ditzy had her back turned, Honeycrisp smacked the twins upside their heads.
"So what are you two doing over break?" Honeycrisp asked the Pies.
"We're heading to Las Pegasus with Pound Cake for a baking competition," Cherry replied.
"First prize gets a thousand bits and to appear with Gustave LeGrand in Prance," Cinnamon added.
"Is Pinkie or the other Cakes coming along?" Dusk asked.
The twins shook their heads, "We can take care of ourselves for a week. All we have to do is keep ourselves away from the casinos and keep our mace on us at all times."
The friends talk for a few minutes before they all go home to get ready for their respective trips. Once Halo's Light gets home, Hope, her family, and Turvy go to the train with Dusk and his family and begin their journey to the Crystal Empire.
-Scene Shift-
Late at night, a unicorn is standing in the middle of a cold field. The pony is cloaked in an ornate, black jacket. A mask adorns his face.
"After all this time, I have the energy to perform these two spells. Soon I'll have the strength to end the pain."
The unicorn's horn glows blue and a wave of energy ripples away from him. Slowly, his body glows and turns into a humanoid figure.
Another humanoid figure appears to appear from the shadows, "Shall I begin?"
"Take on Zach and Hope first. They will be the greatest challenge and should join us first."
"Understood." The figure melded into the shadows.
"Perfect."
-Scene Shift-
Hope slowly woke up and yawned. She stretched out before realizing that she had pale arms instead of her forelegs.
"What the�" she muttered. She looked at herself to find that she was a human teenager. She poked at a lump beside her, "Turvs. Turvy! Wake up."
Timid Turvy poked her head out from under the blanket and her human eyes widened, "What happened to you?" She looked at herself, "What happened to me?"
"I don't know. Somehow we've become human."
Hope slides her legs off the bed and slowly tried to stand. She suddenly felt top heavy and fell. She looked down at herself and saw two fleshy lumps hanging off of her chest.
"What are these?" Hope asked to not really anyone.
Hope suddenly heard the sound of Dinky's scream and crawled to her door.
"Stay in your rooms!" Hope could hear Zach yell, "Spike, get a letter to Celestia! I'm going to see if this is going on anywhere else." Hope could hear Zach open and close a door.
Hope sat against the door and asked, "So what do we do now?"
-Scene Shift-
Zach walked through the Empire's streets trying to find ponies instead of humans. Luckily, there weren't many outside. Zach slowly made a bee-line towards the castle.
When Zach made it to the entrance he heard a deep laugh. He turned around to find a figure obscured in the shadows.
"Who are you?"
-Scene Shift-
Hope stood in front of the mirror in one of Dinky's guest rooms, "I think I look good as a human."
"I'm trying to make some clothing for us," Turvy said, "But my Chaos powers are acting up. I don't think they like this body."
"I may be able to help with your own clothing issues," Darkness said from inside Hope, "May I?"
"Go ahead," Hope said.
Hope's body became coated in a dark aura before it solidified into clothes. She was wearing an open leather jacket with a white undershirt and black jeans. On her feet are black high tops.
"You look good in those," Turvy said.
"Thanks. I'm going to see if I can find out what's going on," Hope said, "Wish me luck."
"How are you going to get out? Spike and Sparkler are downstairs and won't let you out."
Hope looked at the window, "It's time to see if I can take an impact as well in this body."
Hope opened the window and squeezed herself out. Then she dropped to the ground and landed on her feet. She looked up and saw someone lurking in the shadows.
"Who are you?" Hope asked.
Both figures answered Hope and Zach simultaneously, "I am someone who wants to duel you."
Both figures raise their left arms and the silhouette of a duel disk appears.
"If it means that I'll know who you are, I'll duel," Zach said, his duel disk appearing on his arm.
"I'm up for a duel," Hope told her opponent, her own duel disk appearing.
Zach: 8000
Hope: 8000
Unkowns: 8000
"I'll go first," Zach said, "I draw! I summon Goblingburgh (ATK 1400). Now I bring out Ganbara Knight (ATK 0). With these monsters I build the overlay network and xyz summon Number 39: Utopia (ATK 2500). I end my turn."
Zach's opponent drew, "I summon this (ATK 1200)." The monster that appeared was a dark grey quadruped. Its legs were like veiny, clawed trunks. What mouth it possessed had long tongue that drooled everywhere.
"Is that what I think it is?" Zach thought.
-Hope-
"I will go first," Hope's opponent said as it drew, "I set one monster and one card and end my turn."
"My turn," Hope said, "I draw! I set my right pendulum zone with Shadow of Yin. Since my Shadow counts as Realm of Shadows, I can special summon Shadow Beast Destroyer from my hoo-err-hand (ATK 3000). Destroyer, attack!"
-Zach-
"Attack!" Zach's opponent declared.
"If it's that, I can't risk its destruction," Zach rose an arm, "Utopia, negate that attack with Light-Wing Shield!"
-Hope-
"I activate my spell, Book of Darkness," Hope's opponent said, "This flips a face-down Dark monster to face-up attack position." The same monster that Zach's opponent had appeared on the field. "Dark Archetype, counterattack!"
-Zach-
"So you know my card," Zach's opponent noted.
"And I know who you are," Zach added, "Trueman."
Trueman smiled, "I end my turn."
-Hope-
Dark Archetype was blown apart. Trueman stepped out of the shadows and began to grin.
Trueman 'B': 8000-6800
"When my monster is destroyed I can send a monster from my hand to the graveyard and special summon a monster with the same level and attack points equal to the damage I took from my deck. I special summon Dark Blade (ATK 1800)."
"I'll end my turn," Hope said.
"I draw," Trueman declared, "I activate Polymerization and send the Dark Blade on my field and the Pitch-Dark Dragon in my hand to summon Dark Blade the Dragon Knight (ATK 2200)."
-Zach-
"What are you doing here?" Zach demanded.
"I am merely here to do as I was meant to do," Trueman replied, "I will send all the now humans in Equestria to the World of Darkness."
"How are you here?"
"I will tell you if you manage to beat me. Now, I end my turn."
So, how do you all like this?
Zach: Trueman and Nightshroud? Really? But who is the pony that's his host?
You'll see, though it will be obvious in hindsight. I'll see you all later.
