Chapter 9: Defeat

Defeat

You would think you'd be in hell when you saw demons. We were wrong. You know you're in hell when you see angels.

Let me explain. Okay. So, myself, Chrysalis, and Twilight were outside the medical wing where Fluttershy was, everyone else being preoccupied with something or other. That was expected. Rainbow was helping the pegasai guards patrol, Rarity was working on camo spells, while Applejack was helping Lone and Red with dueling. "This leaves just Pinkie and your brother, Twi," I said. "They'r eprobably going to be among the toughest ones to face."

"What makes you say that," Twilight asked.

"Common sense," I say, shrugging. "So far, they've been sending in the others, and each was slightly more hard. Though I would have sent Rarity and Rainbow in after Fluttershy, seeing as how they could have beaten me if I didn't get lucky."

"Which most likely means you'll need to pull out all the stops from here on out," Chrysalis said. "And they'll do the same to stop us."

"Then they will need to be extremely lucky," Thestalos said. "Every deck Josh has works in sync, and he has multiple strategies in place for each one. If he was to face against one of the greatest monster cards, he has a strategy with my deck to remove it with two cards."

"And i have a deck dedicated to god killing, too," I said. "If there' one thing I have learned, always be prepared, and be ready to think on your feet, or hooves, in this case."

"Then I'd hate to be a part of the Order," Twilight said crossing her arms before screaming was heard form inside the medical room.

"Shit, what's going on, I said as I burst the doors open, only to see Fluttershy flailing, the doctors trying to hold her down.

"Miss Fluttershy, calm down," one of the doctors said. "Princess Celestia is on her way." This made the pegasus simply flail around more.

"NO," she yelled, and I do mean an actual yell, causing everyone to stop, simply because of that. "You all need to get out of here, now," she said in a pleading tone, and I looked at Thestalos, who nodded.

God slayer.

As my deck changed, Flutterhsy continued to scream. "Celestia will kill us all if we don't leave."

"Fluttershy, what are you talking about," Twilight said, walking up to her friend.

"Celestia. She's going to kill all of us, Twilight," Fluttershy said. Wait a minute.

Cyber's reaction, her helping the others, the card.

Fuck.

"She's a part of it," I said, getting everyone's attention. "Celestia's a part of the Order."

Yes," Flutterhsy said before the others could say anything. "She didn't escape her first battle with Osiris. He beat her and converted her, and sent a changeling to take her place from time to time. She's the one who turned all of us." As soon as she said, she screamed in pain. Oh fuck my life. Are the others screaming in pain, I asked my spirit.

Yes, he said. And it's even worse then that. Celestia, or who ever she is, is with Lone and Red, along with Luna, in the training grounds, and used a card, one that is not form your world, to turn them. V and W also say that there are three individuals making their way to the castle.

"Guys," I said to Chrysalis and Twilight. "We're the only ones in the castle who know how to duel that's not being controlled, my spirits confirmed that much. We need to go. Now."

"Oh but then what kind of fun would my pets have?" Fuck. I'll give that card credit, it works quick. The one who spoke was Fluttershy, who, upon me looking at her, had a predator's smile on her face.

"Go," one of my spirits, Thestalos, said as he appeared. "He's letting us become physical to buy you time. I suggest you use it. I will buy you what time I can," he said as multiple Silver Fangs appeared. God I hate my life right now.

"You heard him, guys," I said. "We need to move," I say, grabbing their arms.

"But Lone-" Twilight started

"Is with them now," I said. "We can't do anything right now. I may be able to handle two, but I can't handle eight plus Celestia at once, and you guys are still beginners. Besides, Lone would want you to come back later when you know you can handle everything. Wouldn't you want him to do the same?"

". . .Yeah," she said.

"The let's go," I said, and we began to run for life. We slid out of the medical room, and made our way to the main gates, hoping to get to a large enough space.

"Get 'em," I heard Applejack yell, but I saw Chrono and the Reactors come into existence in front of us before going to our left, as well as my Ancient Gear Soldiers, three of them, and three Ancient Gear Knights, most likely to stop any monsters Lone and Red sent, with sounds of gunshots and metal clashing resounding as we made our escape. As soon as we made it outside, Buster, Dark, and Paladin came into existence, and flew up, most likely to stop Rarity and Rainbow. We had just made it out the main gate when I saw an army of monsters.

Warrior monsters, Toon monsters, Pinkie's, obviously, and Lightsworns. "Get behind me," I say, activating my duel disk. You ready?

Just get the field ready.

Right.

"Okay, Jinzo, Prime, to show yourselves," I say, putting two f the cards in my ultimate combo on the field, with both monsters appearing, before putting three face downs.

"It is about time," Jinzo said in the same voice from GX. "You know we will have a low chance at winning this fight, correct?"

"Yeah, I know," I said, walking in front of them. "Even with him."

"Simply thought I would ask," Jinzo said.

A few seconds later, the army, with three robed ponies, take a guess at the color, at the lead. "I wondered who the Lightsworn card belonged to," I say. "I guess that would be you, Celestia."

The middle pony chuckled before removing her hood, making Twilight gasp. "Indeed, human," Celestia said. "You are much easier to play with than I had thought you'd be."

"Spare us all the monologue, please," I say. "This whole fight's already cliched as hell."

Celestia chuckled. "On that, we agree," she said. "But still, nothing you can do will be able to stop us. Look behind you."

"Uh, Josh," Twilight said with worry. Why must life hate me? I looked behind, and saw the other four Elements, along with Lone, Red, and Cadence and Luna, the last two having duel disks. No way I can win this. Well, not with my current monster line up.

"You think just because you have numbers on us," I said, "you'll win? You might be right," I say, a single card in my hand. "But I say we let the god do the talking. I tribute my three face downs to summon THE WINGED DRAGON OF RA!"

With that, the familiar, yellow orb came out of the card I put on my disk, and began to grow in size, gaining a yellow, metallic sheen, red eyes, a mouth, or, rather, a beak, filled with teeth, and a blue jewel on his forehead. "Then, well, I'll have him vaporize your asses," I say. "Ra?"

"Of course," he said in a surprisingly regal voice before charging his attack, a beam of energy that launched from a circle on his neck, but Rainbow was the one to came in.

"Nice try, moron," she said, "but I activate a card you know, Book of Moon, to flip Ra away, preventing the attack."

"Which let's me come in," Celestia, the real one, the one behind us actually a changeling, "and kill you three. I activate Judgement Dragon's effect." Oh shit. "By giving some of my life force, I destroy every card on the field. And none of ours are currently cards." Oh double shit. "Any last words?"

"I would like to say something," Lone said. "Twilight, I may have liked you, but it was just so I could say I was dating a Princess. A rep I don't need." This- well, Celestia may have outsmarted me, but I wanted to rip Lone's brain out and shove it up his asshole for that, especially with the devastated look on Twilight's face.

"If that is all," Celestia said. "Order, finish them," she said as everything that was on my disk was destroyed.

"I'm sorry, guys," I say. "I failed," I said as the monsters of the Order with a ranged attack began to charge and ready their attack.

"It's okay, Josh," Chrysalis said. "You did your best. And I have something to tell you."

"You may want to get it out now, then."

Chrysalis sighed. "Yes, I imagine so. Josh, I love you," she said before pulling me to her, and locking lips. Unfortunately, that was short lived, as, at that moment, the attacks were fired, and all I saw was black.


































Some time later, I heard a voice speak. "Awaken, Josh," it said in a familiar voice, and I opened my eyes, a surprise, as I had thought them open. What I saw was, to my surprise, was Ra, but more human sized.

"Ra," I asked, not believing what I saw.

"Indeed, my friend," Ra said. "And I know you worry for Twilight Sparkle and Queen Chrysalis. There is no need to fear, for they are alright, and here with us."

"Just where is here," I ask, my surroundings now taking focus. It was a small, square room made out of gray bricks, but didn't seem to be foreboding.

"My home," Ra said. "The spirit world."
