"Hey girls, it's me, Scoots."

Sweetie Belle stood there, speechless. Apple Bloom, however, had already recovered from the shock.

"Scoots! How are ya!? Why haven't y'all been sending letters!?" Apple Bloom said. "We haven't heard from ya in six months!"

"Hehe... Sorry about that. I wanted to make this visit a surprise." replied the pegasus, rubbing the back of her head with her hoof.

"Well, all that matters is that you're here now, right?" said Sweetie,finally recovering from the shock. "And also, do you know about a card game called 'Cardfight!! Vanguard'?"

"Yeah, duh. Anyway, where's Rainbow Dash? I really want to see her!"

"You lookin' for me, squirt?" said an all-too familiar voice which made Scootaloo turn and see a certain cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane.

"Rainbow Dash!! Oh my gosh, you look as awesome as ever!" squeed Scootaloo, letting her fangirl side come out and runs towards Dash.

"Heck yeah! How ya doin' in flight school, anyway? Does it suck..."

"Hey Rainbow, why were you at the orchard, anyway?" asked Sweetie Belle.

Rainbow Dash's cheeks reddened and she looked away, blushing furiously. "Uh, I was bu- helping Applejack! Yeah! I was helping AJ!"

"Right..." said Apple Bloom, rolling her eyes. "How'd you know we were here, anyways?"

"Well, duh. Those dragons and crud of yours were exploding left and right! Were you thinking nopony would notice? I went here as fast as I could, in ten seconds flat, of course!" said Rainbow Dash with a grin plastered on her face. "Anyway, wanna go catch up at the Sugarcube Corner, squirt?"

"BUCK YEAH!" yelled the orange mare, obviously excited.

"Can I come with you?" asked Sweetie, interested.

"Sure! What 'bout you, AB?"

Apple Bloom chuckled a bit. "Sorry, but Ah have to fix up this here Motion Figure System!"

Scootaloo stuck her tongue out. "Aw... You're no fun, AB."

"Well, what're we waiting for!? Let's go!!!" huffed Dash impatiently, as the three mares made their way to the bakery.

40 minutes later...

"OOOOOHHH!!! THEN, WE PUT STREAMERS, AND CUPCAKES, MILKSHAKES, AND OO-"

"Pinkie!!!"

"- and then we put my party cannon-"

"PINKIE!!!!!"

"What?" Said the hyperactive pink pony.

"Two chocolate milkshakes, please." sighed Scootaloo, as she handed over a few gold coins to Pinkie. Sweetie Belle was her only companion now, since Dash left earlier for weather duties.

"Okie Dokie Loki!" Said the hyper pink pony, bouncing off.

"Continuing, my stay in Cloudsdale was as boring as hay. Ughh..." groaned the orange mare as two mares, one pink and the other gray, walked in and sat next to them.

"Oh look, it's that weak chicken, Scootalooser. Miss us?" sneered the pink mare. "Couldn't take it at Cloudsdale?"

"Diamond Tiara is like, totally right. Did you get expelled or something?" asked the gray mare, nudging the now teenage Diamond.

"None of your business, buckheads." said Scoots impatiently. Ugh... Not these two again. I thought I got rid of them years ago!

"Ooh! Such language! Didn't your parents- Oh wait, they DIED!" said Tiara as the two bullies burst into laughter.

Scootaloo could feel the heat rising to her face and was about to smack her in the face, when Sweetie held her hoof and said: "Don't let them get to you, Scoots. They're trying to tick you off. These two are just jealous of your prowess in Vanguard!"

"Me? Jealous of her? You must be joking right? Ugh, let's get outta here Silvy. These losers are wasting out time." said Tiara as she and Silver Spoon turned and tried to walk out.

"Scared?"

That made Tiara stop in her tracks. "Me? Afraid of you? Don't make me laugh!

"Then cardfight me." said Scootaloo calmly.

"Hey!!! Losers like you can't orde-"

"Shut up, Silvy. I'm about to show this chicken who's boss." snapped Diamond Tiara angrily, prompting Silver to shut her mouth.

The both went to a nearby table and put a card face down on opposite sides and drew 5 cards, not caring to redraw.

"I'm gonna kick your flank, loser!!"

"Let's see, ya prissy, stuck-up daddy's girl!"

"Stand up, Vanguard!!" Both said, as they flipped the cards set down earlier.

"Lizard Soldier, Conroe!!" said Tiara as she imagined a green dragon-warrior standing next to her.

"Stealth Beast, Evil Ferret!" Scootaloo imagined a ferret-like being, coated in darkness.

Everypony that knew anything about Vanguard was stunned. This was a new clan that was highly anticipated these past few months.

"My turn. I draw!" Said Scoots (Hand:6). "I ride Stealth Rogue of Silence, Shijimamaru!!!"

The ferret suddenly teleported to a back row, being replaced by a pony in bandages as the Vanguard.

"Turn end." (Hand: 6 Damage: 0)

"That's all you got!? My turn! Draw!" said Tiara as she added the top card of her deck to her hand. "I ride, Iron Tail Dragon (G1/ Power 7000)!!! Conroe moves!"

(RC) (ITD) (RC)

(RC) (Conroe) (RC)

Hand: 5 Damage: 0

"Iron Tail attacks with a boost from Conroe (Power: 12000)!!! Drive check, no trigger!" (Hand: 6)

"No guard!! Damage check, draw trigger!" (Hand: 6)

Sweetie watched as the battle went back and forth, pitting ninjas against flame beasts that could incinerate through every tactic any other pony had. Sweetie hated to admit it, but Diamond Tiara was a VERY strong fighter. On the other side, Silver Spoon was cheering Tiara on.

Current field

Diamond Tiara (current turn)

(Nehalem) (Blazing Flare Dragon) (Berserk Dragon)

(Bahr) (Mahoraga at 15000 Power) (RC)

(RC) (Leaf Raccoon) (RC)

Hand: 6 Damage: 1 flipped, 3 unflipped (4)

"Mahoraga boosts Blazing Flare Dragon! Immortal Flame: Death Tendril! (Power 31000)" said Tiara, as the hellish dragon's revolver shot out dark red serpents of fire and magma. "Twin Drive!! activates! No triggers!" (Hand: 4)

"Perfect guard." said Scoots as she dropped two cards in the drop zone, one of them with a golden shield sign. (Hand: 4)

"Berserk attacks the vanguard!"

"No guard. Damage check, draw trigger!" (Hand: 5)

"Nehalem attacks with a boost from Bahr!" said Diamond Tiara, with an edge of malice. (Power: 18000)

"Mandala Lord's skill!"

"Huh!?"

"Persona Blast! (Hand: 4 Damage: 2/4 since used/unflipped) The six worlds of never-ending darkness, break free! MANDALA JAIL!!!" As she said this, chains shot from behind the sinister Covert Demonic Dragon, impaling Nehalem.

(Nehalem: 18000 ---> 8000)

Diamond Tiara stood there, mouth hanging wide open as a fly went in and flew back out.

"I-I end my turn." (Hand: 4 Damage: 2/4)

"My turn. I draw. Look's like it's FINAL TURN!" yelled Scootaloo, shocking everypony. (Hand: 5 Damage: 2/4). "I call Stealth Beast, Million Rat! Counterblast to superior call!"

"Million Rat boosts! Leftie here attacks! Death Trap Chain!"

"No guard! Damage check, no trigger!" (Damage: 2/5)

"Leaf boosts, Mandala Lord attacks, Raccoon's skill! Extra power (Power 21000)!"

"I guard with Tahr and Genjo!" near-yelled the snobby, pink pony. Two ponies, one a monk, one a warrior with a flaming spear, appeared in front of the demonic fire-dragon.

"Twin Drive!! Activates! First check; critical trigger, get! Power to Mandala, Critical to Right Arrester! Second check..." said Scootaloo rather nervously. She checked the top card. It was..... "STEALTH BEAST, MOON EDGE!!! ALL EFFECTS TO THE VANGUARD!!!"

Mandala Lord let loose witha volley of purple fireballs and chains, instantly killing Blazing Flare Dragon.

"Damage check; no trigger... (Damage: 6)" said Diamond Tiara dejectedly. She packed up her cards as quick as hay and ran outside before you could say 'Rainbow Dash'.

"Tiara! WAIT FOR ME!" said Silver Spoon, running out as fast as she could go, chasing after her BFF.

"I sure taught them a lesson, didn't I?" chuckled Scootaloo. "That'll teach daddy's girl not to mess with us."

"Yeah..." said Sweetie Belle, rather disturbed. She had felt a cold tingling in her bones that had gone away as fast as it came.

"HERE ARE THE MILKSHAKES, SILLY FILLIES!" said a loud voice from behind them.

Meanwhile, somewhere in an alley near Sugarcube Corner...

Diamond Tiara was pissed, so she went to an alley to vent. How could she lose to those low-class scum? Had she not been the strongest cardfighter? Heck, even Apple Bloom lost to her. Badly. "I need to get stronger..."

"ARGGGHHH!!!! I NEED TO GET STRONGER!!! I need to destroy those losers!!!" she yelled to nopony in particular, kicking a can, which landed in front of a dark gray pegasus colt with a messy red mane. She immediately noticed his cutie mark, which was a small eclipse with a star in the middle.

"I couldn't help but hear what you said. Do you want true power? Then follow me." said the colt, rather directly.

"How can I trust you? And prove it to me, this so called 'power'." said Tiara, rather surprised and interested.

"Picture it in your mind." the colt says, as his eyes suddenly glow a deep purple.

Diamond Tiara closes her eyes and feels herself merging with her surroundings, then, with a flash of purple light, what she sees amazes her. There was a grassy field, with what looked like a circus tent, with manticores, three-headed dogs and more. Wow... she thought. So this is true power...

Diamond opens her eyes, seeing the colt standing there, smiling, with Silver Spoon beside him, having walked in on them earlier, looking at him with an amazed look on her face.

"Will you take this power?" the colt asks, grinning. "My name's Midnight Storm, by the way."

".... Yes... Yes, I will."
