Just a story that I wanted to post because there are no RWBY/Chaotic crossovers. Therefore, I shall create the first of them! I hope you guys enjoy this one, as I intend to have at least four chapters finished by Halloween.
Neo: *Holds up sign* {He probably won't.} *Puts away the sign*
Me: You got something to say to me, ice cream head?
Neo: *Shakes her head no*
Me: Okay. LET'S GET CHAOTIC!
*We take out our Scanners and port to Chaotic as our story begins*
***I don't own RWBY, or Chaotic!***
Welcome to Chaotic
In a frozen tundra right in the middle of a snowstorm, someone was running from something else. The individual in question was a creature that resembles a purple and green troll with primate-like features and reptilian face. He has a purplish body, with a green head. He has long, spiky red hair, a reddish eye and light blue eye, and has very sharp teeth. He also wears golden leg and wrist armor, a crown seated atop his head.
He seemed to be a warrior, but why was he running when he should be standing his ground? Well, that would be due to an enemy he's fighting. A formidable foe that has been chasing him for quite some time now.
Our mystery warrior had just narrowly dodged a ball of fire as this mystery adversary flew after him. But just who is this strange new enemy?
This warrior appeared to be a humanoid: clearly female. She had a sleek and feminine figure along with red, bat-like wings that were slightly tattered on the bottom, brown eyes, long black hair, and yellow skin with dark red markings on her hands, arms, and neck. She wears a black leotard with an armored breastplate and knee guards. She also had wicked sharp talons on her feet instead of normal human toes, and five curved spikes on her head.
This demoness warrior landed, and took a moment to look for her enemy. Being a flying warrior gave this woman the advantage of extremely keen eyesight. But even she was having a little bit of trouble seeing where her enemy was through all of this snow and ice.
That's when she caught a glimpse of the male troll looking figure seeking shelter in a frozen cave. She smirked and flew off after him again, staying at a low altitude so she wouldn't get swept up in the wind. While the troll was running away while under the cover of darkness, the woman flew into the cave and shot a fireball from her hand that looked like it had a flaming skull inside of it! The impact of the flames against the ground caused the fire to spread, but she flew through it like it was no problem.
"Playtime's over!" the woman said to herself.
She landed on the ground, and picked up some of the fire in her hand. She knew her enemy was hiding somewhere in this cave, but this minor setback wasn't going to stop her from destroying him.
"You can run, but you can't hide. Not from Takinom!"
She looked around again, but still saw no sign of her target.
"I have to admit, I'm disappointed." Takinom taunted. "I expected more from a hero of the OverWorld."
She knew the heat from her fire attack was melting the ice above her, but paid it no mind. She had more important things to do. Like destroy this OverWorlder and claim victory! As Takinom was looking around, she detected a presence behind her. She looked back and lo and behold, her target was on the ceiling!
"Ember Swarm!"Takinom cried.
She thrust her arm forward and unleashed what looked like a swarm of flaming insects! The troll had no choice but to drop from his perch in order to dodge that devastating attack. Fortunately he landed on his feet.
The troll yelped as he suddenly found himself dodging more fire based attacks. None of them hit, but they were all still very powerful in this icy environment. On his last dodge, he found himself sliding down an icy slope that led to another cliff. He yelped as he slid off the cliff and started falling. Takinom flew out of the cave just in time to see the man fall through a cloud and out of sight.
"What's he doing?!" Takinom asked herself.
Fortunately for the troll, he landed on another slope and stopped on solid ground. But he felt a little dizzy due to the rush of this battle. He grunted as a block of snow hit him on the head. However, he had no time to relax as Takinom flew after him in this seemingly never ending pursuit.
As the camera pans down to look at this male warrior, a voice belonging to a teenage boy begins to narrate about this situation.
"This green, troll looking guy? That's Heptadd."
"COME ON! STOP BEING SO LAME, AND FIGHT!" Takinom demanded.
The now named Heptadd managed to dodge the initial aerial strike of Takinom's claws, and managed to summersault out of striking distance. He resumed running as the voice resumed his narration.
"Takinom wouldn't normally have Heptadd running for the hills. After all, he's one of the OverWorld's fiercest warriors. Any other day, he'd stand his ground and blast away with a bunch of awesome attacks."
Heptadd yelped as he saw a higher cliff getting closer and closer. He dug his heels into the snow, and BARELY managed to skid to a stop without falling over the edge. He looked back in slight fear as he saw that Takinom was getting closer and closer.
"He's the bravest of the brave. Really!"
"If I don't figure out how to fight back, I'm dead meat!" Heptadd said to himself.
"He's got power, he's got skills, and he's got total mastery over the elements. In Perim he's a master of the elements! The problem is, he's only Heptadd on the outside. On the inside he's... Me!"
The screen splits in half to show that on the inside surrounded by a bunch of blue zeros and ones, Heptadd was really a teenage boy with blonde hair and blue eyes wearing pieces of white armor. But how did this come to be?!
"Game over, Jaune!" Takinom gloated as she floated closer to Heptadd. "Welcome to Chaotic!"
She opened her mouth, and exhaled a stream of concentrated fire at Heptadd. Our OverWorld hero gasped in fear as the fire got closer and closer to him. No doubt the story behind this strange encounter was going to be one to remember.
***Earlier That Same Day…***
***Jaune's POV.***
Okay, let me backtrack a bit and explain how this all came to be. You see, all across Remnant there are two highly popular franchises. The first of these is a series known as Yu-Gi-Oh!, a card game where you use monsters, spells and traps to lower your opponent's Life Points and win a duel. The other is the franchise that my team loves: Chaotic.
It's a strategy game involving four different tribes of creatures: the Heroic OverWorlders, the Savage UnderWorlders, the Desert Dwelling Mipedians, and the Dynamic Danians. These creatures have completely randomized stats that can be categorized into Courage, Power, Wisdom, Speed and Energy. No two cards are ever exactly the same. Take the Danian known as Wamma for example. One card of him could be super brave, having a Courage stat of 50 points. But another copy of him might be a powerhouse with 65 points of Power.
There are other aspects to the game such as Battlegear, Mugic, Locations and attacks, but we'll get to that later. And before I forget, unlike Yu-Gi-Oh!, Chaotic is also a highly popular online game as well.
Unfortunately, my team is the only team in Beacon Academy that actually likes the game. At least, I think so. I've seen this look of longing in Ruby's eyes, but she always holds herself back for some reason. But aside from me and my friends, the other members of Team JNPR, a few of the professors here at Beacon also like Chaotic.
First, there's professor Glynda Goodwitch. She's a great player with a monstrous Mipedian deck. Professor Ozpin has never lost a match with Ulfhedinn and his OverWorld deck. And professor Oobleck is a dangerous Danian player.
Anyway, it's free period right now, and everyone's enjoying their favorite games. Even Professor Goodwitch is getting in on the fun, playing a tabletop match against my teammate Nora.
"Zhade attacks Mallash with a Cyclone Slam attack. You lose five energy!" said Glynda.
Not wanting to lose to anyone, Nora decided to reveal her Battlegear to her opponent. But while those two were having a fun time playing tabletop, I was about to engage in an online match against my partner, Pyrrha Nikos. While I use OverWorld cards, she prefers to fight with UnderWorlders.
Pyrrha is an insanely beautiful girl with long red hair that she keeps in a ponytail, green eyes and flawless skin. Her beauty is rivalled by few, and I doubt that a dork like me has any chance with a girl as great as her. But I'm getting off topic here.
"I hope you're ready, Jaune, because I'm not making this easy for you!" Pyrrha taunted.
"Good, because I want to beat you at your best!" was my chosen reply.
A few clicks later, and we were both ready for our match.
"Battle team locked. Let's get Chaotic!" we said together.
The match was quite intense, even for an online match. I first had Maxxor attack Pyrrha's Krekk using a Cyclance Battlegear. Once I coded him, Pyrrha went after my Najarin with her scan of Skithia. And while she's not the strongest UnderWorld creature around, Pyrrha knows how to use her powers well. Later, I coded Skithia using Yokkis. But soon enough, we were both down to our final creatures and very little energy. My Maxxor versus Pyrrha's Lord Van Bloot. And let me tell you, they call him "Lord" Van Bloot for a good reason. While he is classified as a Muge, Van Bloot has both high energy and incredibly high disciplines that make him a real terror in battle; especially with his earth attacks.
"Ten energy left! C'mon, Maxxor…" I mumbled.
Then, just as I thought all was lost, I drew the card that was my saving grace.
"A Rock Wave! YEAH!" I cried in victory.
"No way!" Pyrrha cried in disbelief.
And who can blame her? I may be a pretty good player in my own right, but Pyrrha is definitely a better player than me. And I should know. She's beaten even Ozpin on more than one occasion, and that's an achievement in and of itself. He's that good a player!
"Very well done, mister Arc."
I turned around and saw the headmaster of Beacon himself, professor Ozpin, walking over to where we were playing.
"This happens to be the first time you've defeated miss Nikos at an online match, is it not?" Ozpin asked.
"Uh, yeah it is. But it was only possible because she gave me those OverWorld strategy tips. And believe me when I say that I was sorely tempted to use Heptadd against her." I replied.
Heptadd is my go-to creature in my deck. Sure, I have a Maxxor card that's pretty good, but I feel this strange connection when using Heptadd. I can't explain it, but it just feels right somehow.
I was broken from my conversation with Ozpin when I heard a beep coming from my laptop. I checked my screen and saw a little envelope icon in the middle of the screen.
"Chaotic mail?"
I clicked the icon and opened the e-mail, but instead of a letter like I thought it would be, I instead found it to be a bunch of random numbers and letters… kinda like…
"...A code?"
"No way! Jaune, do you realize what that is?" Ozpin asked excitedly.
And you know Ozpin's serious about something when he uses a student's first name.
"A code that could get me a new creature, Mugic, Battlegear, Location or attack card?" I asked.
"No, but you're half right." Ozpin replied. "It's a code that will allow you into Chaotic! Now you can transport yourself there, and play for real!"
My mouth dropped and my eyes widened at this news. As completely ludicrous as that sounds, the very Idea that I can go to Chaotic and play for real sounded amazing. And my teammates Pyrrha, Nora and Ren, who were listening in on our conversation, looked pretty excited too. Even Ruby seemed hopeful.
Too bad not everyone shares our enthusiasm.
"Don't go saying Chaotic's a real place around Jaune, headmaster. It gives him gas. Like, 'clear the room' gas!" Yang teased.
"Does not!" I denied.
"Miss Xiao Long, I would advise you to cease your teasing, and allow mister Arc to make his own choices." Miss Goodwitch said sternly.
"Yeah! Stop mocking Jaune-Jaune or else I'll come over there and BREAK YOUR LEGS!" Nora threatened, pulling out her hammer from… somewhere.
Yang just grinned and shrugged as she went back to her own game. But her doubts began to ring in my mind, conflicting me on this situation. I needed to go and do some thinking, so I picked up my laptop, put away my cards, pocketed my blue OverWorld Scanner, and headed to the one place I could do some thinking.
/The Courtyard\\\
I went over to my favorite tree in the school courtyard and sat down. I took out my scanner and started looking through my cards. Most of them are OverWorld cards, like Najarin, Tangath Toborn, Maxxor and Heptadd. But I do have a few from the UnderWorld and Danian tribes like Skartalas, Tharax and Zalvar.
"Do these creatures really exist? Am I really just thinking of a childish dream that I wish was a reality?"
This whole mental conflict thing was making my brain hurt. I just really want to talk to someone who won't see me as an insane lunatic.
"I thought I'd find you here."
Like the dork that I am, I screamed like a girl and literally jumped several feet into the air and clung to a tree branch like some kind of fat lasagna loving cartoon cat. I know, I know, not very manly, right? Anyway, I took a few breaths to calm my nerves and looked down to see Ruby looking up at me.
"Sorry, Jaune! I forgot you don't like being startled like that!" Ruby called.
"It's alright, Rubes. Just give me a minute to calm down." I replied before asking "And how did you know where I was?"
"It wasn't that hard. You always come to the Courtyard whenever you need to be alone to think." Ruby said.
Realizing that my fellow team leader was right, I facepalmed before climbing back down.
"Right well, that little revelation aside, did you need something?" I asked.
In response to this, Ruby sat down under the shade of the tree and patted the spot on the ground next to her. I just did as she said, knowing that whatever it is she wanted to talk about must be pretty important. There was an awkward silence between the two of us for a few minutes before Ruby finally found her words.
"What's it like… playing Chaotic? Is it fun?" Ruby asked.
"Forgive me for answering a question with another question, but what brought this on?" I asked back with a raised eyebrow.
Ruby looked down and began to twiddle her thumbs while trying not to look nervous. Honestly, how can a fifteen year old girl look so gosh darned adorable?! I thought only babies, kittens, Zwei and toddlers could pull that off!
"Well, the thing is… I've had this interest in Chaotic since the day it came out in Vale. But I've been holding myself back from playing it because I don't wanna fall behind on my studies or slack off in combat practice. But seeing you and the rest of your team, plus the professors, it just makes me yearn to play the game myself even more. I don't know what to do!" Ruby explained.
Now I get it. Ruby's having a serious internal struggle. She wants to do well here in Beacon, just like the rest of us, but her inner child wants to play a new and exciting game. She feels torn and conflicted about whether she should continue to act professional, or finally let herself be a kid for a while. Honestly, I kinda understand where she's coming from. Even I struggled with that kind of internal conflict for some time.
I reached into my bag and took something out as I made a decision.
"Hey, Ruby," I said, getting her attention.
She looked up at me and found me holding out a blue Chaotic Scanner to her.
"I want you to have this. This is a second Scanner that I bought in case of an emergency, but I want you to have it. Upload your own cards onto it and create your own account on Chaotic. But most of all…"
I placed a hand on her shoulder as I said this last line.
"...Just enjoy being a kid."
*Third Person POV.*
Ruby couldn't believe what was happening. Was Jaune really giving her his extra Scanner and telling her to enjoy being a kid? Not even Yang ever really encouraged her to enjoy her childhood, and she was always trying to get her hooked on that Yu-Gi-Oh! fad. But in reality, Ruby just wanted to play Chaotic and enjoy herself with a card game she knew she'd enjoy.
Hesitantly, she took the Scanner from Jaune and cradled it in her hands like some fragile piece of glass. She knew that Jaune chose his Chaotic Codename to include his name in it, but she wanted something more her style. So, she input her own Chaotic Codename as CrimsonReaper. After she created her account, VIA her Scanner, the screen lit up to reveal a nice little surprise.
"Hey, I thought you said this was brand new. What's this Maxxor scan doing in here?" Ruby asked.
Jaune smiled before he replied.
"Consider that scan a present from me. A way to start you off on the right foot as a Chaotic player."
Ruby was amazed and truly touched. Jaune was willing to part with one of his best scans just so she could make something of herself as a Chaotic player? In response to this, she hugged Jaune in a sisterly fashion, thanking him profusely for such an amazing opportunity. The white knight simply laughed a bit and patted her head.
"Oh, speaking of codes, don't you gotta upload that code of yours onto your own Scanner?" Ruby asked.
"I'd do that right away if I were you, mister Arc."
The voice suddenly coming from nowhere made Ruby and Jaune jump in surprise and look around for the source of this voice.
"Down here, children."
The two looked down to see professor Goodwitch on Jaune's Scanner screen. Apparently, she decided to contact them using the Scanner's built-in video phone function. Kinda similar to that of a Scroll, but without the constant buffering and no need for Wi-Fi.
"Jaune, it's imperative that you input that code into your Scanner as soon as possible. If you don't, then you might NEVER get another one! If you're late for Combat Class because of this, I'm willing to let it slide this time. But PLEASE don't waste this opportunity! That code is only valid until midnight tonight!" Glynda explained.
With that, the Scanner turned off. Jaune put away his cards, but left out his Scanner and laptop. He's made his final decision.
"You go on ahead, Ruby. I'll meet you in Combat Class." Jaune said.
Seeming to understand what her friend was going to do, Ruby picked up her own supplies, pocketed her Scanner and used her Semblance to book it to class in a flurry of rose petals. When she left, our young blonde knight opened up his laptop and opened the page where the code was.
"Like they said in the moon landing: this is one small step for man, one giant leap for Chaotic!" Jaune said to himself.
Okay, so it's not exactly what was said, but you get the idea.
A few button pushes later, and the code was entered into Jaune's Scanner. But when that happened, the screen went blank. The boy started to get a bit worked up as he kept pressing buttons in an attempt to revive his Scanner, but it wouldn't turn on.
"That's weird… did my Scanner go dead?" Jaune asked himself. "That's impossible. They NEVER go dead!"
He's right about that. He accidentally left his Scanner on all night once and it never went dead. Anyway, Jaune then tried logging into his online account, only to find himself locked out of it.
"What's going on here?!" Jaune asked, growing more and more agitated.
After a few attempts, Jaune gave up and decided to vent his frustration in Combat Class. He probably won't win, but it'll be good for him. But what he didn't realize as he put his things away was that…
/Futuristic Pub\\\
In a flash of code, we see that someone has been teleported to a strange, futuristic pub of some sort. Hey, it's Jaune! But he's supposed to be in Remnant, right? So how can he be in two places at once?
No time to explain that as Jaune looked around and began to majorly freak out about what was going on. And who can blame him? One minute he inputs a code into his Scanner, next thing he knows he's in some sort of pub that looks several thousand years ahead of its time. Jaune soon started hyperventilating as he began to have a panic attack.
"Where am I?! How'd I get here?! WHAT'S GOING ON?!"
"Hello, Jaune." sang a familiar voice.
Unfortunately, in his panicked state, Jaune failed to recognize the owner of the voice and launched a fear punch at the person behind him. His fist was caught, but whoever it was didn't retaliate. Instead, they evaluated his abilities.
"Reaction time: satisfactory. Power behind the punch: could be better."
Upon calming down a bit, Jaune saw that it was his partner and fellow member of Team JNPR, Pyrrha Nikos, standing there with a red UnderWorld Scanner in her hand. She released Jaune's hand and just grinned at her teammate.
"Pyrrha! Oh, thank Oum it's you! Where are we?" Jaune asked.
"We're in Chaotic. The REAL Chaotic, where all of the magic happens." Pyrrha replied.
Jaune took a moment to ponder Pyrrha's words and remembered what Ozpin said about that code he'd gotten earlier. He then began grinning like no tomorrow as his excitement built up.
"Dude…!" Jaune breathed.
"I know." Pyrrha replied.
"Dude!" Jaune said a bit louder.
"I know!" Pyrrha replied.
"DUDE!" Jaune shouted.
"Jaune, you don't even say dude." Pyrrha pointed out.
"I KNOW!"
Yeah, you guys can definitely tell that Jaune is very excited about being here. And he's also glad that Ozpin was telling the truth and not just spouting a load of fiddlesticks.
"Well now that you've gotten some of that excitement out of your system, let's get to the Battle Drome. You can't be late for your first match, or you forfeit." Pyrrha said.
But as she walked away, Jaune was still in a daze due to his amazement and remained glued to his spot.
"Dude…"
He was broken from his daze when Pyrrha grabbed him by the arm and dragged him away.
/Back in Remnant\\\
Classes were over for the day and the students of Beacon Academy were ready for a nice three day weekend of fun and excitement. And for Ruby, this meant buying several Chaotic card packs to expand her arsenal. That's why she was walking down to the card shop with Jaune and his team. They wanted to celebrate their leader's win against Yang in Combat Class by getting some new cards for their decks.
"So, this card shop really does have a surplus of Chaotic cards?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah! It's only THE best place in Vale to get the cards you need to build an awesome deck." Nora answered.
"Indeed. It's where I found some of my best Mipedian cards." Ren added.
"I got my Lord Van Bloot card there, as well as several other great UnderWorld cards." Pyrrha said.
Needing no further incentive, Ruby eagerly followed her friends to this great card shop. However, she was completely unaware of three pairs of eyes watching her from the shadows of an alley.
/In Chaotic\\\
We now find Jaune and Pyrrha on a moving sidewalk as they headed towards a strange looking building. It looked like a blue dome with an unusual looking white crest on the side. But Jaune still wasn't so convinced about this whole thing. At least not a hundred percent. I'd say he's around eighty percent convinced.
"I must've had bad tacos at lunch today. That's what this is: bad taco dream." Jaune said to himself.
"It's no dream, Jaune. It's the real deal." Pyrrha assured as they reached their destination. "You see that? That's a Battle Drome: the Crellan Drome, to be exact. There are seven Battle Dromes in total, just like online. And each one is run by a Codemaster. Pretty cool, right?"
Once they stopped at the door, Pyrrha decided that now would be a good time for her leader to get some experience under his belt.
"I'll tell you more later. After you win your first match." Pyrrha said.
"But I don't have my cards!" Jaune said.
"Trust me, you don't need them." assured Pyrrha.
"So, we're gonna play online?" Jaune asked.
"Not exactly…" Pyrrha trailed off.
The door to the Drome opened just as she pushed Jaune in. And once inside, Jaune wasn't sure what to make of it. Especially since it was so dark in there.
"Hello…?"
Suddenly the lights turned on, and something materialized above the center of the room. It looked strikingly like an always rotating version of the logo for Chaotic.
"Welcome to the Battle Drome Crellan, Jaune Arc: Chaotic Codename, JauneOfArc." greeted a mechanical voice. "Please step forward."
A pedestal that looked large enough to hold a Scanner rose up in front of the young blonde knight. Seeing that he had nothing to lose, Jaune did as instructed. Once he reached the pedestal, the voice spoke again.
"Dock your Scanner."
Jaune did as he was told and gasped in amazement as a screen with several different colored spinners appeared in front of him. By this point, our young hero was grinning like a maniac.
"Nice effects…!" Jaune breathed in amazement.
That's when he began to notice a few similarities.
"Hey, this is just like the online battles!"
Having the sudden urge to spin one of them, Jaune flicked the blue spinner and it showed every creature scan currently in his collection.
"There's my deck." Jaune said in satisfaction. "Now, who am I up against?"
That's when a new player entered the Drome. A boy who looked to be about Jaune's age with messy silver hair, brown eyes, and wearing a combination of silver and black. His Scanner was red, showing that he uses an UnderWorld deck.
"Mercury Black: Chaotic Codename, MercForHire. Step forward and dock your Scanner, please."
"This your first time here?" Mercury asked.
"Yeah, it is. How'd you know?" Jaune asked.
"The skepticism in your eye is a dead giveaway, but don't worry, I'll help you out." Mercury replied. "What's your tribe?"
"I use mostly OverWorlders. And I almost always use Heptadd…"
"Why don't you just hand him your whole deck? Stop talking!"
The sound of Pyrrha's voice caused Jaune to look around in both slight fear and confusion.
"Down here, on your Scanner."
Seriously, Jaune should be used to this by now.
"Don't talk strategy with him, he's the enemy!" scolded Pyrrha.
Jaune gasped as he realized the error that he was about to make in doing that. Mercury docked his Scanner, and Pyrrha began to speak to Jaune about the way to play.
"Okay, he can't see your deck, but don't blab anymore…"
"Alright, alright, just tell me how to work this thing, will ya?!" Jaune interrupted.
"It works just like an online Chaotic battle, only instead of a keyboard…"
Jaune began to use the blue spinner to scroll through this creatures. While he did this, we see that he has cards like Dractyl, Staluk and Tangath Toborn on his team.
"That's it. Now this is a one on one battle to get your feet wet, so pick a creature." Pyrrha instructed.
"I guess I'd better go with… Heptadd." said Jaune.
"Good choice. MercForHire is doing the same. He's also picking Battlegear and Mugic: one of each." Pyrrha explained. "Here's a tip. Mercury's like me, he stacks his decks with UnderWorlders."
"If Mercury uses UnderWorlders, then that means his attacks will be mostly fire element. I'd better hook up Heptadd with an Aqua Shield." Jaune thought out loud.
He selected his Battlegear card, and began to move on to Mugic.
"And for Mugic, just in case I need to recover, I'd better use the Song of Resurgence. That'll do it."
"Good, now pick your locations. Ten of them." Pyrrha instructed. "If you're the attacker, the location comes from your deck, so you better stack it to your advantage."
"If that's the case, then I'd better use OverWorld locations for Heptadd." Jaune said.
Pretty soon, both players had everything selected.
"Players, lock your decks."
"Here goes nothing…"
Jaune pushed a button on his Scanner that locked his deck, and the game began.
"Battle board locked. Field of play revealed."
The board expanded to show that Mercury had chosen to use Takinom in this match. A good choice, since she can fly.
"That's my que. You're on your own, Jaune." Pyrrha said. "Wait'll you get to the cool part."
That caught Jaune's attention big time.
"This isn't the cool part…?" Jaune asked. "Pyrrha…? PYRRHA?"
Unfortunately, his Scanner had gone blank and his redhead partner was not picking up. Looks like vomit-boy really is on his own here, folks.
"JauneOfArc, because this is your first time here, you will be the attacker. Spin the Location Randomizer, please."
Jaune did as instructed, and his location deck began to fly at a rapid pace. It soon landed on the one location where this whole thing began.
"Glacier Plains."
"YES!" cheered Jaune.
"Now choose your attacking creature, and your target creature."
"I've only got one choice." muttered Jaune. "Heptadd attacks Takinom!"
"Very well. JauneOfArc, touch your Heptadd card."
Hesitantly, Jaune reached up and touched his card. But when he did, the screen disappeared.
"Oh snap." Jaune muttered, thinking he broke something.
But it didn't end there. Jaune began to panic as his arm was engulfed in codes that made his arm begin to transform. Mercury was also transforming, but he didn't seem worried at all.
As their individual transformations slowly continued, it was revealed that Mercury had been turned into the UnderWorld creature he'd selected for battle. When his transformation was complete, Mercury as Takinom struck a battle stance. But when Jaune finished transforming, he just had two words to say. One of which wasn't even in his own voice.
"AW SNAP!"
Once he realized the voice wasn't his own, Jaune did the most reasonable thing he could do in this situation.
...He screamed at the top of his lungs.
Once he's calmed down a bit, Jaune began to panic at a slightly less crazed level.
"I'm… Heptadd? Where's the zipper on this thing? Get me outta here!"
Meanwhile, Mercury as Takinom just laughed at his opponent's fear. It was always more fun that way in his opinion.
"This is gonna be a blast!" Mercury as Takinom said.
That's when a strong wind began to pick up as the mechanical voice spoke up again.
"JauneOfArc as Heptadd versus MercForHire as Takinom at Glacier Plains. Let the battle begin!"
"Battle…? You mean we have to…?"
The response Jaune got was Takinom cracking her knuckles in anticipation. He gulped nervously at that.
"Oh boy…" he muttered. "Oum above, give me strength."
In a bright flash of light, Heptadd and Takinom were transported to Glacier Plains. But Takinom was nowhere in sight, which caused Heptadd to feel a bit more fear. And from within Heptadd, we see that Jaune is feeling very panicky about this whole situation.
"This is just nuts! It feels like I'm in a mascot suit, only I'm not. How am I supposed to… WHOA!"
Jaune as Heptadd was broken from his musings when he slipped and began sliding down a ramp made of ice. He kept picking up speed until he hit a wall and got buried in snow. It took a few seconds, but he managed to get out if it.
"That was embarrassing. Good thing nobody saw it." Heptadd said to himself.
Unfortunately for Jaune, the whole match was being broadcasted on viewing screens. So pretty much everyone saw that embarrassing moment, and were laughing about it. All except Pyrrha, who just facepalmed and had to remind herself that this was Jaune's first match.
As for Takinom? She was currently flying over Glacier Plains in search of her enemy. And it looks like she found him, if the fireballs she was launching were any indication. A few of them landed near Heptadd, but one of them grazed his shoulder, causing him to yelp in pain. He got up and faced Takinom as she landed in front of the troll-faced creature.
"Well? You wanted the full Chaotic experience, didn't you?" she asked in a taunting manner.
"Actually, things are getting a bit too hot up in here. So I think you should cool off!" Heptadd replied.
