Welcome back to My Little Pony: Duel Monsters are Magic! In this chapter, we introduce a new OC! Hope you like her.

My Little Pony belongs to Hasbro and Yu-Gi-Oh belongs to Kazuki Takahashi, I own nothing but my OC's and the story idea, besides the fact that it is the Duelist Kingdom arc from the first series, except with a lot changed to it.

Dusk was walking around Canterlot looking for an opponent. Nopony around was actually dueling, they were taking breaks. But Dusk wasn't ready to take a break. He wanted to get his star chips as fast as possible. He looked around and saw a filly laying down next to a tree. She was small, had a red coat and light orange and red mane/tail with red being the dominant color. This was odd, what pony in their right mind would rest in the middle of public where their star chips can be easily stolen? Dusk decided to check it out. He slowly began to walk over until he felt something on his leg. He looked down, it was a rope. Something triggered as the rope tightened around his hoof and pulled him upside down. Dusk was hanging from a tree.

"So I see my trap has worked." The filly said looking up at Dusk. "Were you trying to steal my star chips?" The filly said looking at Dusk with her rose red eyes.

"No. I was coming over to see why you were sleeping, when somepony could easily come and steal your star chips. Now I see why." Dusk said.

"Nice story. But I don't believe it. Thief, prepare yourself." The filly said as she grabbed a knife, which terrified Dusk. She then threw it at the rope as it was cut. Dusk then fell down onto his head. He grabbed the back of his head in pain.

"Oh, that hurt!"

The filly pulled out her deck and black duel disk. "Get up thief and duel me." She said with a determined expression.

Dusk got up slowly. "Duel? Sure, I'm game!" Dusk said activating his duel disk.

"I am going to teach you a lesson thief. My name is Rose Thorn, and let that name ring through your head as you are defeated!" Rose Thorn said with a smile.

"Um, alright." Dusk said, confused by her mannerisms.

Dusk: 4000 LP

Rose: 4000 LP

"I'll start off first thief!" Rose said as she drew a card.

"Okay, stop calling me thief. My name is Blue Dusk, and I am no thief." Dusk said.

"Beat me in this duel, and I won't call you that anymore. But for now, I am going to call you thief." Rose said.

"Fine, whatever."

"Since I control no monsters, I get to Special Summon Steelswarm Cell from my hand!" Rose said as a weird beetle appeared on the field. (1/DARK/Fiend/Effect/ATK 0/DEF 0).

"Next, I activate One for One. With this card, I get to discard 1 monster from my hand so I can Special Summon 1 Level 1 monster from my hand or Deck." Rose said as she discarded a monster. "And with that, I Special Summon another Steelswarm Cell from my Deck on the field!" Rose said as another beetle appeared on the field.

"But both of them have 0 ATK points? What do you plan on doing with them?" Dusk said.

"Well, you see thief, I cannot use them for a Synchro Summon or a Tribute Summon. But, I can only Tribute them if the Tribute Monster I Summon is a "Steelswarm" monster. But before I do that, I Normal Summon Steelswarm Caller from my Hand!" Rose said as a weird humanoid moth appeared on the field. (4/DARK/Fiend/Effect/ATK 1700/DEF 0).

"Hm...what is she planning?" Dusk thought.

"I now activate the Spell Card, Double Summon. With this, I can Normal Summon another monster on the field. I am going to Tribute all 3 of my monsters, in order to Normal Summon, my boss monster, Steelswarm Hercules!" Rose said as the 2 beetles and the moth disappeared and a large black creature appeared on the field. (10/DARK/Fiend/Effect/ATK 3200/DEF 0)

"Whoa!" Dusk said looking up at the large creature.

"Also, whenever a Steelswarm monster is Tribute Summoned using Steelswarm Caller, I get to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Steelswarm monster from my Deck. I choose Steelswarm Sting in Attack Mode!" Rose said as a hornet appeared on the field. (4/DARK/Fiend/Effect/ATK 1850/DEF 0)

"I'll end my turn at that." Rose said with a smile.

Dusk: 4000 LP

Rose: 4000 LP

"My turn then." Dusk said as he drew a card.

'She seems very confident in her abilities. I need to be as confident as her if I want to win this duel.' Dusk thought.

"I start off by activating Charge of the Light Brigade. By milling the top 3 cards of my Deck, I can add a Level 4 or lower "Lightsworn" monster to my hand." Dusk said as his deck milled three cards, which were a Judgment Dragon, Wulf, Lightsworn Beast and Jain, Lightsworn Paladin.

"I add from my Deck to my hand, Jain, Lightsworn Paladin. Now, I activate the effect of Wulf, when he is sent from my Deck to the Graveyard, I am allowed to Special Summon him from the Graveyard." Dusk said as a humanoid wolf appeared on the field. (4/LIGHT/Beast-Warrior/Effect/ATK 2100/DEF 300)

"Hm? Interesting. But there is no beating my Steelswarm Hercules." Rose said.

"Oh, I don't plan on destroying him. Because now I Tribute my Wulf to Tribute Summon Celestia, Lightsworn Angel!" Dusk said as the wolf disappeared and an angel appeared on the field with white wings. (5/LIGHT/Fairy/Effect/ATK 2300/DEF 200)

"Hm? Beautiful monster I'd have to say. But still, its ATK points aren't good enough to beat my monster." Rose said.

"Oh? Did I not just say I wasn't planning on beating him by battle. I plan on using Celestia's effect. By milling 4 cards from my Deck, I get to destroy 2 cards that you control." Dusk said.

"But I only control 2 cards" Rose yelled out.

"Yep." Dusk said as his Deck milled Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter, Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress, Jenis, Lightsworn Mender and Realm of Light. Both Steelswarm Hercules and Steelswarm Sting were destroyed.

"But that means I am defenseless..." Rose said.

"And that is not all. In my Graveyard, I hold Ryko, Lyla, Wulf, Jenis and Jain. 5 Lightsworn monsters with different names, which means that I can now Special Summon MY boss monster. Come forth, Judgment Dragon!" Dusk said as a large dragon with angel wings appeared on the field. (8/LIGHT/Dragon/Effect/ATK 3000/DEF 2600)

"Judgment Dragon and Celestia, attack Rose directly!" Dusk said as the Celestia jumped on top of the Dragon. They both went straight through Rose. (LP: 4000-0)

(Winner: Dusk)

"Wow, you are good. Dusk." Rose said with a smile.

"Oh! So you are calling me Dusk now, not thief?" Dusk said with a wink. Rose blushed.

"Sorry about that. But a filly's got to be careful in this world. I wasn't born with parents, so I had to raise myself as a strong filly." Rose said.

"You are an orphan too?" Dusk asked.

"Yes. I never knew my family and I was never put into an orphanage. I rather not talk about how I was raised, because I try to forget my past." Rose said looking down.

"Don't worry. The past is the past. If it was bad, don't let it get you down. The past is just a memory, the present and future is what a lot of ponies should be focusing on." Dusk said.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Rose said.

"Now. Since I beat you in a duel, do you have a star chip you can give?" Dusk asked.

"Actually..." Rose said as she held out her bracelet, it had only 1.

"Wow. And you thought I would steal your star chip. That would be just heartless of a pony." Dusk said.

"Here you go Dusk. My last star chip, which means I am out of this tournament..." Rose said with a sigh.

Dusk looked at her hoof, which had the star chip on it. Dusk touched her hoof and pushed it back to her. "No. You keep the star chip." Dusk said.

"What? But why? I lost." Rose said.

"Well. I don't think it would be wise taking a teammate's star chips." Dusk said.

"What? What do you mean teammate?" Rose asked.

"Well, I belong to a team called Team Heroes. I am sure they would let you join. Neon and Night are really nice and we can work together helping each other gather 10 star chips to enter the tournament. What d'ya say, wanna join?" Dusk asked with a smile.

Rose thought about it. 'If I join, then I would get help entering the tournament.' Rose smiled. "Sure, if they will let me, I will join your group."

"Awesome. Come on, I think we can find Night and ask him if you can join." Dusk said as they began walking off, looking for Night.

Elsewhere...

"So Trixie and Glacier Mist were defeated by this Neon Scroll. Hmph, I base it solely on luck." One of the ponies sitting in their throne chair in the shadows said.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Can I duel her!?" Another one asked in a slightly higher pitch voice. It sounded like a filly.

"No. First, you must take out the traitor first." The other responded.

"Aw...fine. I guess its my time to shine then." The filly said as she stepped off her throne chair. She walked into the light. She was a small black coated filly. She had a long black mane with pink highlights and she had pink eyes.

"Rose Thorn. Time for a reunion of doom." The filly smiled as she walked off.
