It's been an hour since I beat Rarity and Rainbow, and both had woken up. At first, they both freaked out at their appearance, understandable, in my opinion, but they eventually calmed down, Rainbow finding it, and I quote, "Awesome", while Rarity cooed over it and began talking of designs that would go well.

Good to know they're taking the fact thee's a psychotic group who wants to overthrow Celestia well, huh? Ponies, I swear.

Anyway, I was with Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Chrysalis, and Twilight. "You think they have an agent in the castle," Luna asked

"I do," I say, my arms crossed. "I found this ard thirty minutes ago, and it isn't in any of the decks I have or gave to Twilight and the others, and it's used in an advance deck, which means an Order agent. Plus, CYber's been moving carefully, almost as if he were afraid of something."

"You trust one of the Order's creatures," Luna asked.

"Not just me," I say as Chrono appears behind me.

"Indeed," he said. "As the Machine King, I have special programming that allows me to tell if a subordinate is lying, and when I questioned him ten minutes ago as to if he was afraid of something in the castle, he was telling the truth."

"If so, then that would beg the question as to who is the agent," Chrysalis said.

"I'm certain that, whoever it is," Celestia said, "Josh will be able to stop them."

"Agreed, Sister," Luna said.

"I doubt it," I said. "This deck is built around monster effects, and I have nothing to counter lightsworn, the archetype, strategies."

"Then we'll have to hope it is not someone high in the order," Celestia said. "Seeing as how that's how they've sent so far."

"What makes you say the Elements are high up," I asked.

"Simple," Celestia said. "They would only send the best short of their leader to stop a threat to them, and so far, they've only sent three out of their best."

"Fair point," I say. "Still, I'm a little surprised the dragon monsters are real here."

"Agreed," Twilight and Chrysalis said. "Though, what surprises me the most," Chrysalis added, "is the love I felt coming from the summoned ones to the actual ones, and vice versa."

"Explains the nuzzling," I said. "Still, have those two stopped fawning over their new forms to actually speak about something even remotely important?"

"Not yet," Twilight replied. "Why?"

"Because I want to see what they do remember. It might help us later on."

"I doubt they could give you anything more then your Magician gave us," Celestia said.

"Better safe then sorry," I said.

"I have to agree," Chrysalis said. "I'd rather have valuable intel then a large weapon that destroys a large swath of land the size of the Order's base. I thought you'd be the same, Celestia."

"I do," Celestia said. "But his Magician said that it got everything it could out of Rainbow Dash and Rarity he could."

"I still think it best to get their interpretation on their memories, as well as our own," I say, "instead of just our own. Best to have more than one perception.

"And, seeing as how I'm the current only hope you got, I'm the one who decides what's done in regards to the fight with the Order, I say we find out their take on their memories, see what they think the context is. Unless you want me to, oh, I don't know, let the next Order member roll right over this city and every pony here." How I love being an asshole.

"Sister, I must agree," Luna said. "It would be best to see Rainbow Dash and Rarity's point of view on their memories instead of just our views on them."

"Looks like a majority, Celestia," I say with a smirk. "So, Twilight, where are Rainbow and Rarity, anyway?"

"They should be in the medical wing with Applejack."

"Then come on," I say to her and Chrysalis. "Time you actually spoke with them."

"I do believe you mean 'we'," Chrysalis said.

"You know what I mean," I say. "Come on."

With that, the three of us, Chrysalis, Twilight, and myself, made our way to the medical wing. "So, let's recap what we got," I say. "Magician said that whoever turned them to the Order is in their memories, but hidden, and black out."

"Might be their leader," Twilight said. "What'd they call him, Osiris?"

"Yeah," I said. "Funny thing with him is that where I come from, an ancient god of the underworld shares his name, and that mythology also has to do with duel monsters."

"Talk about a coincidence," Chrysalis said.

"Agreed," I say.

"You know, while we're on the subject of mythology," Twilight said, hand on chin, "Celestia and Luna did tell me of an old legend form when ponies used to use this kind of magic. Five monsters that were near unbeatable."

"Nothing's unbeatable, Twilight," I say, referencing my yet unused ultimate deck. "Not even gods. Did they say anything about the cards themselves?"

"Just that two of them are part of a set, the third having become a sixth card of legend, and the other three are their own set, and, when together, are near unbeatable."

"Did they say what they were called," I asked.

"Just that the collective names for the second set was so horrible, any who spoke it died."

"Damn," I mutter to myself. "We definitely need to find those cards and stop the Order from getting them."

"Agreed," Chrysalis said. "But I'm more interested in that sixth card. I can't be the only one wondering as to what it is."

"I think I have an idea," I say. "Assuming, that is, my other theory is right."

"What theory is that," Chrysalis asked.

"What the second set is," I say. Think it might be, you know, them?

Perhaps, my duel spirit said. And I believe we can agree as to what that sixth one is.

Agreed. Let's just hope the Order doesn't get their hands on them. That would be near hell.

That it would be.

At this point, we reached the medial wing of the castle, and stepped in. Rarity, Rainbow, and Applejack were talking with each other near the bed Applejack had woken up in. Rarity wore a black and white, pinstripe business shirt and business slacks, and Rainbow wore, well, workout stuff. Go figure.

"Hey, guys," I said as we walked over, the three glaring at Chrysalis, which I expected because, well, guess. "You all doing alright?"

"Yeah, we are," Rainbow said. "What do you want, Josh?" Apparently, the dragon DNA in her and Rarity made them a little more hostile. I already had my Ancient Gear monsters working on a bunker to protect us from an angry RD.

"To see what you guys think of your time with the order," I say. "Just to get your interpretations on them."

"Well, of what I remember," Rarity said, "they want to overthrow Celestia, I think because the one they worship says so."

"And they want some kind of caste system base don someones dueling skills," Rainbow said. "I liked it, but I was near the top, so I might be biased."

"At least your honest about that," I said. "What about you, Applejack?"

"Well, if Ah had ta be honest," she said, "Ah'd say they actually want ta do some good things, like removing wha' little crime there is and making plants that grow year 'round."

"And actually promote different forms of fashion, now that I think on it," Rarity said.

"And helping pegasai with flying if they're slow in that area," Rainbow said,

Thank you, universe. I fucking hate black and white villains. Give me a gray area one with goals that can help any day! But of course, this is Equestria, soooo, three. Two. And- "They have to be lying," Twilight said. "No pony or group who wants to overthrow Celesita would do stuff like that." Curse Equestrian moral views. Seriously, one person does something like, I don't know take a seat, a single, fucking seat, that someone else sat in and then got out of, call the goddamn police, he's a criminal. And do I need to point out the wedding again? Or, hell, Starlight again? I may be a brony, but i prefer our world morals compared to here, because I like interesting villains who actually think they're doing the right thing, not Sauron stand ins or evil overlords who do shit because why not.

"Twilight," I say, "not everything is black and white like ponies think. Some villains believe they are doing right, and do have noble goals, with only immoral methods. After all, do you see Chrysalis as a villain?"

"No," Twilight said.

"Then what was she during the wedding?"

"A villain," Twilight replied before her eyes widened.

"You prove my point," I say. "You ponies are on thin ice right now with my help. Is the reason you see her as an ally now because she's with you, who, to compare to a group from my world, are like people from my country, believing your morals are perfect, and you try to project them on others. Because believe me, there are a lot of ignorant assholes like that where I come from who believe they are the best simply because of where they live, and I am ashamed to be someone in the same country as them, and how you ponies act is not helping you in terms of my help. I hate individuals who are nationalists because their home is all they know. It makes me wonder right now how you ponies haven't gotten into a war sooner, as that kind of attitude leads to war sometimes."

"I actually have to agree with him, Twi," Rainbow said. "While I was in the Order's base, and my mind was wiped of it's location, seeing as how I don't remember where it is, I read a lot of history." This got looks from everyone. "Oh, shut up. Anyway, of what I read, a few old wars started because of that kind of stuff, and, actually, that the Order wanted to remove that kind of stuff to stop another pride induced war."

"And a few changeling hives were wiped out because of a war they started due to pride."

"Which gives you the next lesson," I say to the both of them. "Pride can be as dangerous an enemy as anything else, whether it be a knife, or a magic blast that melts skin. Make sure you remember it, as even the best duelist can fall because of pride."

"We go it, Josh," Chrysalis said.

"Just remember it when you're in a duel," I say before turning to face the three other Elements. "And how are you three doing? Considering."

"Quite well," Rarity replied. "It seems what ever they did to Applejack, as well as Rainbow Dash and myself allow us to heal quicker."

"Which reminds me," I say. "Applejack, what did the Order do to you? I mean, it's obvious Rainbow and Rarity were made part dragon, but we have no idea about you."

"Yes, I must admit I'm curious too, Applejack," Rarity said. "Of what I remember, you never showed what you could do."

The farmer seemed to want to hide as she shrunk a little. "Ah wasn't exactly in mah right mind when I got mah. . . modifications."

"Applejack, I don't think it's that bad," I said. "Whatever it is, I'm sure it's not that- HOLY SHIT!" I yell as myself and the others jump back as, I am not joking here, Applejack's right arm turns into a fucking laser cannon. "I'm not sure whether hat is cool, or terrifying."

"I kinda like it," Rainbow said, getting looks from each of us. "What?"

"Sure you aren't the Element of Honesty?"

This got chuckles out of all but Twilight and Applejack.

"Oh," Rarity said, stopping her chuckles. "I almost forgot. I was going to offer to make you all duel outfits."

"I'm happy with what I'm wearing," I say. "And even if there was something I wanted, I'm not good at describing stuff."

Actually, my duel spirit said, Josh, your disk has a special feature that allows you to show images. Try it.

"Oooookaaaaaaaay," I say. Might as well go for my favorite outfit. Yusei's outfit. Seriously, I don't know why, I just find that outfit badass as hell. Anyway, the image showed up, and it definitely had Yusei in a badass duel pose.

"I guess that's what I want," I say. "You guys want anything?"

"I could use a new outfit," Chrysalis said. "This dress is all I was able to bring with me."

"I think I have an idea there," I say. Akiza's outfit. I find it to fit Chrysalis personality wise, especially with the connotation. Noble, but wiht a tragic backstory. Those who've watched 5D's know what I'm talking about.

"That good, Chrysalis," I ask.

"Oh, definitely," she said.

"I do believe I can manage those," Rarity said. "What you, Twilight, Rainbow, Applejack? Any outfits?"

"Not really, no," Applejack said.

"Yeah, same," Rainbow said.

"I don't know," Twilight said. "I guess I want something that's able to stay modest, what with all those gusts, but still have some kind of appeal." At our looks, she added, "you forget that I am in a relationship, guys."

"That's why I'm, looking, can't say the same for the others," Rainbow said.

"Shut it, Rainbow," I say. "Back where I come from, women are the same way."

"Then I'll get started on the outfits," Rarity said, strutting off. "Though I do warn you, there will be some slight changes."

"Long as the basics are the same," I say. "So, who do you guys think I'll be going up against next? I want to be prepared."

"Well, Fluttershy was a step above me and Rarity," Rainbow said. "Surprised me, too. She loved using beast monsters to overwhelm her opponents."

"So she uses an animal deck," I said Flame Empire. "Then I hope she likes Barbecue."
