The Grimm Duellist
The void
Yang had no idea what was going on, one moment she was attacking a swordsman to save Blake the next she was waking up in a strange dark room with a killer headache. Yang ran several situations through her head to try and figure out where she was and what was going on. The first scenario was that she managed to save Blake but got injured quite badly and she was just lying in an empty room to rest and heal, this was the scenario Yang was hoping for. The other scenario was that she failed to save Blake and had been captured by the enemy and she was left in this room so that she could be interrogated for any possible useful information that could be used against her fellow hunters or huntresses, this was the scenario that Yang wasn't looking forward to if that was what was going on. The final and probably the worst case scenario was that she had been captured and the white fang or whomever planned the attack on Beacon was going to brainwash her to turn her into an ally and a loyal weapon, this was Yang's least favourite scenario but unfortunately it was also the most likely and the massive headache Yang had wasn't helping her situation at all.
"Okay first things first lets take a look around maybe there's some signage in here that can help me figure out where I am and if I'm safe or in really big trouble." said a nervous Yang as she surveyed her surroundings while trying to gain her bearings. The fact that really annoyed her though was that her headache seemed to be getting worse when suddenly she felt and indescribable pain shoot through her head knocking her off of her feet. While the pain was horrible and almost unbearable what came next was possibly worse as Yang's memories of the battle for Beacon fully returned to her. She saw herself getting her arm cut off by that white fang member that was attacking Blake.
Yang quickly grabbed at her arm and was actually quite surprised to feel and then see she still had the arm that she now clearly remembered and felt being cut off. Yang was now not only very confused but also starting to get a bit frightened as she had no idea where she was and what was going on.
"Ah it would seem that you've finally awakened." Yang suddenly saw a man entering the room and instantly dropped into a combat stance though the man didn't seem to notice or care. "Now we have quite a bit to talk about Miss Xio Long and I hope that…" the man was interrupted as he began dodging Yang's barrage of punches and kicks as she tried to incapacitate the man to try and get some answers as he seemed to have them all. "Now … Miss Xio Long… could you … please stop … for just … a moment … please?" The man quickly got annoyed by Yang's choice to continue attacking him as he quickly went on the offensive and had yang in a very firm submission hold. "Now can we please talk like civilised beings and not lower ourselves to unnecessary fighting?" Now as much as Yang wanted to give this stranger the beat down of his life she knew she couldn't. The way he was holding her in the submission hold told her a lot, however the main things that it told her was that this stranger could put her down whenever he felt like it and that she was nowhere near strong enough to beat this guy in a fight as much as it irked her to admit to herself. "Alright fine I'll stop but you better tell me what the hell is going on right now or you'll regret keeping me here and make your explanation quick I need to hurry and get back to." Yes you need to get back to Beacon to help your team if I'm not mistaken" interrupted the stranger. "Look Yang can I call you Yang, I'll just call you Yang let us get down to business, first things first while you are quite strong in your own right your bluffs to try and harm me are pointless as you are nowhere near powerful enough to force me to do anything, secondly and quite most importantly you are dead".
The man paused to gauge Yang's reaction to the information he just provided her and waited for her to explode. "Wait what! No way in Oum am I dead, if this is some sick kind of joke it isn't funny. Alright Ruby that's enough fun and games you can come out now, this isn't funny anymore please this has to be some kind of joke. How can I be dead? How that can't be possible. The desperation in Yang's voice was heart breaking and it looked as if she was going into shock. The man decided to intervene before things really got out of hand. "Look yang if you can please calm down I can explain things and I promise that things aren't as bad as they seem right now. So can you please calm down for me? "Ok, ok just please tell me what is going on? Ask an angry, hurt, confused and scared Yang.
"Alright first lets change the scenery a bit, hospital rooms are so depressing" suddenly the entire room just change and before Yang knew what was happening the room changed and now she was suddenly in a perfect replica of Headmaster Ozpin's office. The only difference was the massive and large number of bookshelves that made the office look more like a gigantic library. "First I would like to formally introduce myself, I am the Librarian and I am the Lord of Memory. You see me and my kind exist outside of time and space in the void. The void is free of all the normal rules that govern reality and existence and with this freedom me and my brethren we watch and record the history of all of reality and the multiverse and occasionally we meddle with things in other universes. It's actually quite easy to manipulate things when you already know the outcome of a world's history but we only really do this to help people most of the time. To be honest Brother Correction is the one that interferes and helps people the most the rest of us kind of just like to watch and record history."
"Wait so what you're saying is that you know everything that has happened and will happen?" "Yes. Well not everything, since my people record the history of existence we all decided to split our duties since there are so many possibilities in how something can happen we each watch a specific number of realities" Yang watched the Librarian carefully to try and size him up because while she now understood where she was and who she was with the one thing that still irked her was why she was here. "Ok so you're some all-powerful watcher what I want to know is why did you bring me here?" The Librarian looked at Yang for a moment deep in thought as if he was contemplating something important. "Well you see I do have a problem, in one of the worlds I watch over my ability to watch what was happening has been weaken and all the records for that world have been going blank so I'm clueless as to what's causing the problems and another thing that has been worrying me is that I can't transport myself to that world as it seems I'm being blocked somehow. That is where you come in Yang I'm going to integrate you into that world"
Yang stared at The Librarian for quite a bit try to decide if he was crazy or if he actually thought she would go along with his plan. Inside Yang felt as if her world was falling apart with all she had just recently learnt and she was sure things were only going to get weirder. "Wait you want me to do what? What could you possible give me that would get me to agree to do this for you, more importantly why did you pick me? These where two questions Yang desperately needed answers to and she would make sure that she would get her answers from this Lord of Memory. "Well that's easy to answer my dear. First you'll do it because when you've completed this task for me I'll send you back home a few moments before you go of the rails and attack Adam Taurus leading to you losing your arm thereby changing your fate and the fate of your version of your world, I can even make sure you keep both your arms. As for the reason that I chose you, well that all come down to me liking you the most out of all the people on Remnant and you seemed to have just the right strength of character, the needed amount of inner strength and you just died so you were easy for me to collect. I mean there was one other, your mother Raven but she scares me and with her powers she might actually be able to kill me.
"So will you do me this favour and help me please" Yang looked at the Librarian and contemplated her options, she could either choose not to take him up on his offer and pass on to the afterlife or she could take him up on his offer and possibly save not only Beacon but another world entirely. For Yang the choice was easy to make but she felt drawing out her answer just so that she could annoy the Librarian to get back at him. Sure it was a bit petty but hey so what. "Sure I'll do this job for you but you better keep your end of the bargain." As Yang told the Librarian this, her eyes took on a dangerous bright red. "Noted", He told Yang as she was swallowed up by a large black portal. "Oh I almost forgot you're going to have to start your life over as a child as it's the only way I can get you there." Wait what!" interrupted Yang but her host went on as if she hadn't interrupted him. "And I'll also be sending you a package later on in your life as a signal for you to start your mission and this last piece of information is just to make you feel a bit better, there are no grim in this new world and finely good luck"
The new world
Yang regained her consciousness to a strange but familiar feeling. It was a feeling of feeling completely safe. (That ass I really am starting my life from over) I was truly a strange feeling for Yang as she was being birth, what really surprised her though was even though she was crying and had now control over her body she didn't see her mother Raven or her father Taiyang as she open her eyes, instead she saw her uncle Crow and a woman she didn't know. Great, not only was she going to have to relive her life from childhood but her new father was her uncle Crow. This meant that things were going to feel a bit awkward at times. (oh well I might as well make the best of my new life until I have to start on my mission but dam things are gonna be embarrassing for a while) thought Yang as she realised she was going to have to go through a lot of unenjoyably things again like potty training on the other hand she could make big messes and get away with it. It may not be the same Crow but she's going to enjoy making him suffer.
The original RWBY worlds Crow sneezes on a waitress just as he is about to pick her up effectively getting him slapped and rejected.
Crow looked upon his daughter and his wife and smiled "Come on Amber you've got to give me a chance to hold her as well". "Alright Crow you can hold her but please be careful, I don't need you dropping we only need on fool in our home". Try to decide how to react Crow decided to laugh at Amber's jest while carefully picking up his daughter and rocking her in his arms. "Hello there my sweet little angle soon you're going to grow up big, strong and intelligent just like your mother and I". Crow however was soon interrupted as a nurse came in with some paper work for him and Amber to sign. "Just sign here, here and here and finely fill out her name please and were done here.
Crow and Amber looked at one another as they hadn't actually been able to decide on a name for their daughter however Crow handed the pen over to Amber as he decided that he trusted her enough to make this decision after being tough enough to have a relationship with a person like him. Amber just smiled and wrote down her new daughter's name. "Raven Branwen may you live a happy and long life. You find success where ever you look for it my sweet little girl."
18 years later Beacon academy
(Well nobody can really say that they got accepted to Beacon twice can they) "Well better hurry or I'll be late for my entrance duel" Raven quickly run into the school towards the duelling arena. "Well it seems that our special guest student has finely decided to grace us with her presence" (Well Glyndas still as strict as I remember her, oh might as well finish her of quickly. Hey there's this worlds version of me and the rest of team rwby.) "Don't worry professor Goodwitch this will be over soon" "Such an impudent child but don't worry I'll soon put you in your place." "Hey guys over here Miss Goodwitch is going to duel against the new student" "Okay calm down Ruby or you'll forget how to breathe." "I don't think we really need to worry about that, with the way this dunce eats I'm pretty sure that she doesn't even need to breathe anymore. Anyway who do you guys think is going to win this match, after all even though Glynda is our teacher and a well-known duellist Raven is a two time champion in Atlas and there is even rumours that she duels in the underground and has and undefeated streak and let us not forget that she's also the daughter the daughter of a former world champion the infamous Crow Branwen the Blackwing Duellist." "I don't think it really matters who wins this duel but I feel that it will be one to remember" "of course you'd say that kitty-cat". As the rest of team rwby argued about who would win the duel they were quickly silenced by their leader. "Guys shut up! The witty banter is finished the duel is about to start.
"LET'S DUEL"
Raven-8000/Glynda-8000
"I'll start things off. I draw! Let's see I've got just the cards I need for a quick win. First I summon my Skilled dark magician in attack mode next I activate the field spell Yami increasing his power by two hundred points and set two cards face down
Skilled Dark Magician 1counter 2100 attack two face down cards trap/spell cards Field spell Yami in play.
"Playing it safe I see unfortunately that won't keep you safe. I draw. First I activate mystical spacetyphoon and destroy one of your face downs. Next I set one monster face down and destroy your field spell with a new one I play my Realm of despair, your move."
Raven 8000/Glynda8000. Glynda(Skilled dark magician one face down spell/trap card) Raven(field spell Realm of despair and one monster face down)
"Wait I know that card, but that's impossible that deck was deemed unplayable by are best scientists" "Wait you know what deck she's duelling with?" "Yes Blake I might and that actually scares me, if I'm right then Miss Goodwitch might be in real trouble you see that deck was deemed to draining on a person's aura to be mass produced so only one version remains. The fact that that girl can even duel with the Grimm deck is amazing. If she actually knows how to use the deck to its full potential then this could get ugly really fast."
"You say I play safe but what about you. Skilled dark magician attack her face down" "I'm afraid that that was a big mistake reveal face down monster Grim Ursa minor 4stars 2000def 1500attack boosted by 500points by my field spell not only do you lose 600 life point but you also triggered my ursa's effect. While my field card is in play I can send my ursa minor to the graveyard and special summon my Grim ursa major 7stars to the field with a grand total of 3000 attack points thanks to my field boost" Glynda looked quite confused as she had never seen these cards before but she needed to teach this young woman a lesson.
"I'll finish this turn by activating my red medicine gaining back the life points you cost me and activating my face down Ookazi draining you of 800 life points and next I summon another Skilled dark magician to the field and send the other to the graveyard to special summon my Dark magician to the field in attack mode and set one spell/trap card face down. Your move" (Let's see how this young lady handles this move)
Glynda 8000 life points Dark magician 2500 attack points skilled dark magician 1900 attack points and one face down spell/trap card Raven 7200 life points Grim ursa major 3000 attack points and field spell Realm of despair in play
Raven just gave Glynda a smug smirk and drew her next card. "I'm sorry but it seems your finished first I activate my ursa major's hidden ability which I can only access due to my field spell. First I remove my ursa minor from the graveyard and then I can destroy any monster on your side of the field" "So you're getting rid of my Dark magician?" "No sorry I'm getting rid of skilled dark magician, next I activate my spell mask of corruption and equip it to your Dark magician to turn it over to my side next I overlay your dark magician and my ursa major to xyz summon my Great Grim dragon to the field 2500 to 3000 attack points 7stars oh and if you're thinking of activating that face down of yours it won't work because as long as my field spell no grim monster is affected by trap cards. Next I activate my dragon's special ability. I send both of its over-lay units to activate its power twice. I can special summon a grim from my graveyard so welcome back my ursas oh I almost forgot my ursas have another ability whenever there is another ursa on the field they gain 300 attack and defence points but they won't be staying for long as i remove my ursa minor and my ursa major to special summon my ultimate monster. Come forth my ultimate monster rise my Grim Queen Salem 3000 to 3500 attack. You really should have destroyed my field spell or I wouldn't even have been able to keep my queen on the field next I'll finish you with one of her effects all grim on the field gain a 500 point attack increase. I attack you directly. However that's not all as my queens other ability is when I remove a grim from play she can attack twice so you're finished." (This was to easy I do hope that I find whoever is causing trouble for the Librarian soon or I might die from boredom)
Glynda0/Raven7200 Winner Raven
Everyone watching was in shock. No one had ever been able to beat Goodwitch that easily or that quickly. If the speed of the duel wasn't shocking enough Ravens attitude during and after the duel was very .
"So much for you teaching me, looks like you're the one in need of classes" however Raven soon ran from the duelling arena and seemed to be in quite a rush. Raven's Room "Yeah, yeah I know you don't need to preach to me Salem I know that using you or the dragon drains me of large amounts of aura but can you please be quiet I need to get some sleep to get my strength back." "Sleep well my little duellist" "you sleep well to Salem. I Cant wait for classes to start tomorrow."
Disclamer I dont own rwby or yugioh
for confused readers Yangs atitude will be explained later on through flash back also Yang only beat glynda so easily because of a very risky duel style as the duelists use their aura to power and bring forth their monsters and using the grimm deck is dangerous as it drains massive amounts of aura. for now think of Raven(yang) like jaden after the yubel arc.
