A duelist in Equestria
Chapter 14: A God Reborn
Previous Chapter Next ChapterSo, we reappeared in the Throne room of Ra's castle. How did I know it was his castle? Because we saw him sitting on a throne with a female dragon with feathered wings, and tips that seemed to be made of energy. She was almost entirely white, though the wing edges were blue. "What took you three so long?" Ra asked.
"Issue with the teleporter," I said. "So, if I may ask, who's that?" I asked, gesturing to the dragoness.
"I am Saffira, young duelist," she replied with a pleasant voice. "Ra's sister."
"A pleasure to meet you then," I said with a head bow.
"As it is for me," she said, returning the gesture. "But I am even more honored to meet an Element bearer and the changeling queen."
"Oh, um, thank you," Twilight said nervously as she fumbled to a bow. "Your Majesty."
"And from me as well," Chrysalis said, though much more calmly. "But why are you honored to meet us?"
"Well, I have had the pleasure of meeting Harmony herself, but never one she designates to be a bearer, nor have I met a past queen of the changelings, and, of what I've heard, both of you have done much for your people," Saffira said. "I may be a queen and sister to Ra, but the most I have done is plan some of Ra's greatest victories."
"Which would not have been victories without your brilliant mind, my sister," Ra said. "So, Josh, were you able to rescue the spirits that were being held?"
"Spirit, to be accurate, Ra," I replied. "And not just him, but two Doomsday troopers, or whatever their name is, Different Dimension Warrior Lady, and Dark Neos."
He breathed a sigh of relief. "That is good. Less of my subjects are being controlled by the Order, then," he said. "May you release them? I wish to know in person if they will fight with us."
Twilight, who had the cards for the Ex-Order members, nodded as she got up. "On it," she said before bringing out the cards for the Ex-Order members, and summoned them, bringing the four members into this worlds physical plane. Though they were knocked out.
"Looks like you'll need to wait a while," Chrysalis said.
"Agreed," Ra replied. "And of him?"
"Right here," I replied before bringing the five cards out, which brought about a monster just about every one knows. Exodia, the Forbidden One. Though he more resembled his Exodius version.
"Hello, my king," he said, placing his right arm across his chest. "I thank you for sending a rescue. If the Order had been able to turn me, I know not if you all would survive."
"Yes that would have been an issue," Ra said. "But we need to worry about that for now. I will speak with you later, Exodius. I need to speak with my sister, Josh, Twilight, and Chrysalis."
"Of course, my king," Exodius said. "I'll take the others to the medical wing." With that, he took those we had rescued, and toward the medical wing, leaving the five of us.
"So, um, what did you want ot talk to us about?" I asked.
"As I said before, I have talked with Harmony, who is not just an abstract concept, by the way," Saffira said. "In fact, I spoke with her just before you arrived. We were comparing notes on how Osiris and Hamon were able to easily control Celestia and the others through the card. Celestia is an alicorn, and infused with my niece. As such, it would take a lot of power to control her. We talked, and that led us to the conclusion that. . .well-"
"Somehow," Ra said, "an enemy of Harmony's, and I do not mean Discord, who is her brother, by the way, was able to contact Osiris and Hamon, and they entered into an alliance. Harmony is currently trying to pinpoint who that enemy is. In the mean time, she asked us to help out with something."
"What's that?" Twilight asked.
"One of her champions has gone missing in the time stream of their Equestria, and she asked us to help locate them. We know that they are in the past, so that helps. Of course, if you do not wish it, I will nor pressure you into it."
I looked at my two companions, who looked at each other and me, before nodding. "If it'll help her out," Twilight said.
"Then I guess we're all for it," Chrysalis finished, to which Ra nodded.
"I'll let her know, then," Saffira said before vanishing.
"Yes, she has the ability to travel between dimensions," Ra said. "Still, while you three were gone, we located some of my best warriors. As far as I can tell, they still are with us."
"And you want us to try to rescue them?" I asked.
"Yes," Ra said. "I realize I don't have the right to ask you, but you three are the only ones who are free who are able to do this. I would, but, without my brothers Slifer and Obelisk, I am only at a third of my power, and Hamon has most likely given the guards strategies on how to defeat me, Prime, and Jinzo."
"Do you have any idea where they could be?" Twilight asked.
"Only somewhere in Equestria," Ra said. "Hopefully, after we have freed enough, we will be able to send scouts out to find them."
I sighed. "So, who are we rescuing?" I asked.
"My best soldier," Ra said. "Utopia."(1)
