Hey, guys! I'm so sorry about the delay but been trying real hard how to handle the duel

Chapter 28: The Hunter of Darkness

Somewhere in the forest at night, a dark portal opened up revealing a shadow figure. Taking in his surroundings, he grinned. As the figure asks, "So this is where this mortal learned to duel, eh?" As he said, "Let's see the kiddies handle me!"

The figure showed himself to be the person sent by the Shadow Rider leader; Grimm Hunter. Unlike the previous Shadow Riders, he didn't conceal his face showing another possessed Academy student. Unix Silver.

Then he heard someone saying "Hello," He turned to see Lisker as Grimm Hunter said, "Lisker," As Lisker said, "You must use this chance to eliminate the three Slayers while that boy is still out of the group. Once they have been defeated, I shall deal with him and get what I want. Only then, I'll be satisfied…"

At the infirmary, Zeke was being treated for his injuries by Miss Fontaine. Across the bed from him was Stella, who was sleeping peacefully and safe from the shadows.

As Miss Fontaine said, "I can't believe how many of you guys, coming into the office like this." As she said, "Anymore and this will have to be a hospital."

As Stan said, "Sorry, it's been hectic as it is." As he said, "These Shadow Riders can dish out the pain."

As Jaden said, "I guess even with knowledge of Shadow Games, we can't seem to stop the damage."

As Miss Fontaine said, "It's okay; it's that we're running out of room in here." As she said, "You two need to heal up soon in case more end up hurt."

As Zeke said, "I'm the closest one to being healed, so I hope I get out."

As Stan said, "Yeah, me too." As he said, "I can't stand being in one place for days! Even if the food's good…"

As Jaden said, "I hear ya."

Lying back down on the bed, eyes heavy. Alexis was still sitting by her brother's side when she watched Zeke fall asleep. Jasmine was also there, sitting by Zeke too. As Alexis said, "He must've had as hard as you two did."

As Stan said, "Actually, Mindy said he ended up staying awake after the duel ended just like me."

As Jaden said, "Look where Stan and I had our duels compared to Zeke's. I had to duel in a volcano, Stan dueled in a cave, and Zeke dueled at a castle." As Jasmine said, "And it disappeared once Rita left Stella's body…"

As Cassandra said, "Now, I'm getting a bad feeling about this…"

As Stan asks, "What's wrong?"

As Cassandra said, "What if the next Shadow Rider comes in here expect to duel you instead of the rest of us?" As she said, "You won't be able to defend yourself!"

Alexis gasp as well as she said, "And they could also come after Atticus and the others. After all, sometimes a group would find some way to tie up loose ends."

As Jasmine said, "That's it; I don't care if visiting hours over!" As she said, "I'm sticking up on my boyfriend!"

Everyone stared at her with wide eyes.

Zeke smiled as he said, "Now I'll feel sorry for whoever crosses you." He hugged from behind, having her sit down. As he said, "But calm down, I don't want you in a hospital bed pushing yourself, okay?"

Then they heard someone saying, "He's right, you know."

They looked around then suddenly their Spirit Keys began to glow radiantly.

As Zeke asks, "What's going on?"

As Alexis asks, "Stan … could it be…?"

As Stan said, "A Shadow Rider is here." Then he said, "Very close."

Blade appeared as he said, "Stan, he's coming this way!"

Then the door to the infirmary opened to reveal Grimm Hunter. The whole infirmary felt the presence of a dark aura, until it dimmed down, and Grimm Hunter was leaning against the wall, crossing his arms. As he said, "Hello, Key Keepers."

As Stan asks, "Who are you?"

As Grimm Hunter said, "My name is Grimm Hunter." He turned to Atticus, Leonardo and Stella as he said, "I'm here to take those guys into the Shadow Realm. Be thankful that your life is safe for now, boy."

Stan and Zeke stood up as Stan said, "Not gonna happen." They stand in front of them.

As Zeke asks, "What do you want, Grimm Hunter?"

As Grimm Hunter said, "I'm here… to send them to the Shadow Realm."

Then they heard someone saying, "That's not gonna happen!"

Grimm Hunter turned to see Chazz, Bastion, Blake, Kenji, Banner, Syrus, Chumley, Zane, Banner and Crowler.

As Crowler asks, "Unix Silver? Is that really you?!" As he asks, "Why are you here?!"

As Grimm Hunter said, "It's been quite a while, Dr. Crowler… and as for why I'm here, I guess you can pretty much tell by the clothes that I'm wearing…" As he said, "I could have sworn I didn't invite all of you."

As Blake said, "Well, we just dropped by and if you want to get them, you're gonna have to duel me to get them!"

As Stan said, "Blake!"

As Grimm Hunter said, "Fine, I'll duel you but, we'll duel outside."

As Blake said, "That's fine by me. But if I win you leave Unix's body forever."

As Grimm Hunter said, "But if I win, not only I get your Key and dispose of those losers, I take your soul as well."

As Blake said, "It's a deal." They went outside as Syrus said, "I sure hope Blake know what he's doing."

As Bastion said, "Don't forget, Blake has his Ronin Warriors."

As Grimm Hunter took out his Duel Disk as he asks, "Are you ready, duelist?"

As Blake said, "You know it!"

He took out his Duel Disk and inserted his deck as Grimm Hunter inserted his deck in too as they said at the same time "Duel!"

They draw their five cards.

Blake: 4000

Grimm Hunter: 4000

As Blake said, "I'm going first!" He draws a card as he said, "First, I summon Ronin Warrior – Ryo in ATK Mode!"

Ryo appeared. (4/ATK: 1500/DEF: 1100).

As Blake said, "Now, his effect activates. I'll add Armor of Wildfire to my Hand and play it, so I can Special Summon from my Deck Ronin Warrior – Ryo of the Wildfire!"

Ryo raised his left hand in the air while his right arm pointed in front of him as he said, "Armor of Wildfire!" He makes his fist as he held it in the air as he said, "Dao Jin!" He held his fists forward and red electricity came out of his hands. Tapestry scrolls unraveled around him and rose into the air. Once they reached their peak, they burst into sakura petals. Soon the Armor of Wildfire soon equip to Ryo. A spotlight shined down on Ryo in his new armor as the remaining petals fell. (6/ATK: 2400/DEF: 2100).

As Blake said, "I set a card facedown and end my turn."

As Grimm Hunter said, "My move." He draws a card as he said, "I summon Dark Creature: Boarbatusk Grimm in ATK mode!"

A dark that looks like a boar, including cloven–feet, a line of hair sprouting from its spine, snub snout, and tusks. The creature has four eyes and a bone–like mask that seems to be strapped to its face by a black vein–like organic tether. It has a series of plates along its back and on its thighs, and two extra sets of tusks, including two large curving tusks. (4/ATK: 2000/DEF: 2000).

As Blake asks, "Grimm what's that?"

As Grimm Hunter said, "You'll find out. For now, I activate Rush Recklessly! This gives Boarbatusk Grimm 700 ATK points!" (4/ATK: 2000–2700/DEF: 2000).

As Grimm Hunter said, "Destroy his Ryo of Wildfire!"

Boarbatusk charge forward slamming into Ryo destroying him.

Blake: 3700

Grimm Hunter: 4000

As Grimm Hunter said, "I set a card facedown and end my turn."

The effect of Rush Recklessly wore off. (4/ATK: 2700–2000/DEF: 2000).

As Blake said, "My move." As he said, "I play my Call of the Haunted card to bring back Ryo of Wildfire!" Ryo returned to the field. As Blake said, "I summon Ronin Warrior – Kento in ATK mode!"

Kento appeared. (4/ATK: 1800/DEF: 1000).

As Blake said, "Now I activate Kento's ability. I can add Armor of Hardrock to my Hand and play it to Special Summon Ronin Warrior – Kento of the Hardrock in ATK mode from my Deck!" Kento raise both of his arms as he crosses his arms making an X in front of him as he said, "Armor of Hardrock!" He makes his fists as he held them in the air as he said, "Dao Gi!" He held his fists forward and orange electricity came out of his hands. Tapestry scrolls unraveled around him and rose into the air. Once they reached their peak, they burst into sakura petals. As the Armor of Hardrock attached to Kento. A spotlight shined down on Kento in his new armor as the remaining petals fell. (6/ATK: 2300/DEF: 1500).

As Blake said, "Ryo attack his Boarbatusk Grimm with Flare up!"

Ryo combined both of the hilts of his twin katana and jumped into the air and radiated with power. As he said, "Flare Up! Now!" He swoops down his blade and a massive beam emerges from his sword and crashed onto Boarbatusk Grimm as he exploded into pixel.

Blake: 3700

Grimm Hunter: 3600

As Blake said, "Now, Kento, your turn."

Kento charged at Grimm Hunter.

As Grimm Hunter said, "I activate my Trap Negate Attack stopping your attack and end the Battle Phase."

A vortex appeared in front of Grimm Hunter as it forced Kento to return to Blake's field.

As Blake said, "With that, I'll end my turn."

As Grimm Hunter said, "My move." As he said, "I play Monster Reborn to bring back Boarbatusk Grimm."

Boarbatusk Grimm return.

As Grimm Hunter said, "I sacrifice Boarbatusk Grimm to summon Dark Creature: Death Stalker Grimm!"

Boarbatusk Grimm disappeared and in its place is a Grimm but unlike the Boarbatusk Grimm, this one has a jet–black exoskeleton underneath several large, white, bonelike plates upon its back, which are adorned with red markings. This one has the glowing golden stinger on its tail that it uses as a lure. It also has a pair of large pincers. This one has ten red eyes and red markings. (5/ATK: 2400/DEF: 400).

As Blake said, "That thing has the same ATK points of Ryo but if you attack Ryo, they'll both be destroyed."

As Grimm Hunter said, "I know that but if I destroy your Hardrock you'll take 100 Points of damage but that's not who I'm targeting, my target will be you!" He pointed at Blake.

Blake's eyes widen as he asks, "What?!"

As Grimm Hunter said, "My Death Stalker has a Special Ability, he can attack you directly."

Death Stalker crawled past Ryo and Kento and used its stinger to hit Blake in the chest.

Blake: 1300

Grimm Hunter: 3600

Blake held his chest in pain. As everyone said at the same time "Blake!"

As Blake said, "I'm fine. Don't worry."

As Grimm Hunter said, "For now, but I'll end my turn with a facedown."

As Blake said, "My turn." He drew his card looking at it and smirked as he said, "First, I play the Spell Card, Cost Down! At the cost of discarding a card from my Hand, it allows me to cut my monster's level by two until the End Phase…" He takes out a card and summons it onto the field. As he said, "Now, I call Ronin Warrior Anubis, Warlord of Cruelty onto the field!"

A portal opens up as two daggers dashes through the Monster card, cutting its level from level five to three. A figure donned in gray and blue armor resembling Shogun's armor appeared onto the Field. (5–3/ATK: 2400/DEF: 2300).

Back at the infirmary, Stan, Jaden, Zeke, Alexis, Bree, Jasmine, and Crowler watched the duel from the PDA. As Stan said, "Alright! Blake summoned a Warlord!"

Crowler seemed happy about it as he said, "That boy is in a world of trouble!"

As Alexis asks, "What do you mean?"

As Crowler said, "Warlords are something that cannot be looked down on due to their strength and abilities. Even before Ryo gained his Inferno Armor, these four seasons of Warlords are a force to be reckoned with…"

As Jaden asks, "And you know this… how?"

As Crowler said, "Obviously, you kids don't know much about the 80's!"

They continued watching the duel.

Back at the duel. Anubis looked at Blake as he asks, "Are you alright my friend?"

As Blake said, "I'm fine, Anubis, but right now we need to win this duel and free Unix from Grimm Hunter's control."

As Kento said, "Right!"

As Blake said, "Sorry, Ryo."

As Ryo said, "It's fine, Blake. We have to win this duel to free Unix."

Blake nodded as he said, "Ryo attack Death Stalker!"

Ryo charge forward with his two katanas and slash at Death Stalker while the Death Stalker use its stinger to pierce Ryo through his armor as both shattered into pixel.

As Anubis said, "Say the word my friend and I will attack."

As Blake said, "Go Anubis, attack!"

Anubis leapt high as he twirls around his kusarigama and took his aim. As Anubis said, "Quake with Fear!" He throws the clawed weapon at Grimm.

As Grimm Hunter said, "Not so fast! I play Waboku! This stops your attack and I don't take any damage this turn."

The three robbed women appeared, forcing Anubis to stop his attack and return to Blake's field.

As Blake said, "Man. So close. But I'll end my turn."

Grimm Hunter drew his card as he said, "I summon Dark Creature: Ursa Grimm in DEF mode."

A Grimm appeared with black fur, and bony spikes on their backs and arms, as well as white, bone–like masks with red detailing, but are much larger and stockier. (3/ATK: 1000/DEF: 500).

As Grimm Hunter said, "I place a card facedown and end my turn."

As Blake said, "My move." He draws a card as he said, "I sacrifice Kento,"

Kento disappeared.

As Blake said, "So I can summon Ronin Warrior Cale, Warlord of Corruption!"

On cue a bolt of black lightning crashed down onto Cale as a figure was on one knee and slowly stood up from his landing. Upon closer inspection, he has a black bodysuit with brown armor which is similar to an Egyptian Anubis with a red cape as he wields his nodachi in his hand. (5/ATK: 2200/ DEF: 2100).

As Grimm Hunter asks, "Why do that? Kento has more ATK points then this one?"

As Blake said, "You'll see soon enough. But for now, Anubis, attack Ursa Grimm!"

Anubis leapt high as he twirls around his kusarigama and took his aim. As Anubis said, "Quake with Fear!" He throws the clawed weapon at Ursa Grimm destroying him.

As Blake said, "Cale attack Grimm directly with Black Lighting Blast!"

Cale slowly raises his sword upwards as the roar of the thunder could be heard as he said, "Black Lightning Blast!" The sword shot out numerous black thunderbolts all over the area, even shocking Grimm Hunter.

Blake: 1300

Grimm Hunter: 1200

As Blake said, "I end my turn."

As Grimm Hunter said, "Okay you ask for it." As he said, "I activate Card of Demise! This lets me draw until I have five cards but on my 5th Standby Phase, I have to discard my entire hand." He drew until he held five cards.

As Grimm Hunter said, "I play Silent Doom! This lets me bring back Ursa Grimm in DEF mode."

Ursa Grimm reappeared.

As Grimm Hunter said, "Now I sacrifice him, to summon Nevermore Grimm."

Ursa Grimm disappeared and in its place is a Grimm that is a hybrid of a condor and a raven, it has a mask–like, white bony structure overlaying the upper front of its head. It also has four glowing red eyes, two on each side of its head. The headpiece also includes a dorsal spine or fin, reminiscent of that on the heads of condors and a pterosaur. It has two clawed fingers extended forward from the outermost wing joint. (5/ATK: 2000/200).

As Grimm Hunter said, "Now I place this facedown and end my turn."

As Blake said, "I draw." As he said, "I sacrifice Anubis to summon Ronin Warrior Dais, Warlord of Illusion in ATK Mode!"

Anubis vanished. Another Ronin Warrior came in wearing white bodysuit with dark pink and brown armor on him. At his back, there consists of 6 sickles at his disposal, all attached to a string. Also, he had a patch on his left eye. (5/ATK: 2000/DEF: 1900).

As Blake said, "Dais, sorry about this."

Dais nodded as he said, "Right, I understand."

Blake smiled as he said, "Thanks. Dais, attack Nevermore Grimm with your Web of Deception!"

Dais took out a gadget with sickles attached to it and aimed at Nevermore as he said, "Web of Deception!" He shoots out his sickles at him with strings attached to it.

As Grimm Hunter said, "Not so fast! I activate my trap, Draining Shield! This not only stop your attack but also, I gain Life Points equal to Dais' ATK points."

A shield appeared in front of Grimm and Nevermore Grimm blocking the claw bouncing back to Dais who caught it.

Blake: 1300

Grimm Hunter: 3400

As Blake said, "I was hoping you would do that, so I can do this! Cale destroy his Nevermore with Black Lighting Blast!"

Cale slowly raises his sword upwards as the roar of the thunder could be heard as he said, "Black Lightning Blast!" The sword shot out numerous black thunderbolts all over the area, even shocking Grimm Hunter and Nevermore Grimm destroying it.

Blake: 1300

Grimm Hunter: 3200

As Blake said, "With that, I'll end my turn."

As Grimm Hunter said, "Very well then." He drew his card as he said, "I summon Dark Creature: Beowolf Grimm in DEF mode!"

Appearing from the field, another Grimm appeared, this one standing on its hind legs albeit with a slouch and are extremely muscular. It also has black fur and is that a shape of a wolf, bone-like mask with red markings as well as the bone-like spikes protruding from its arms, back, and knees while the hands and feet are also tipped with long, sharp, white claws. (3/ATK: 700/DEF: 500).

As Grimm Hunter said, "For every DARK Attribute monster that is in the Graveyard, Beowolf gains 100 ATK points, I have Ursa, Nevermore, Death Stalker, and Boarbatusk Grimm in my Graveyard, and you have Anubis in your Graveyard, he gains 500 ATK points." (3/ATK: 700–1200/DEF: 500).

As Grimm Hunter said, "I place these two facedown and end my turn."

As Blake said, "My move." He draws a card as he said, "I play my Card of Demise so I can draw until I have five cards from my hand but have to discard my entire hand on my 5th Standby Phase." He drew until he held five cards as he said, "I play Quick Summon and summon my pal, White Blaze!"

At that point, a white tiger with black stripes appeared, and roared at Grimm and Beowolf. (4/ATK: 1500/DEF: 1000).

As Blake said, "He won't be here for long, for I sacrifice White Blaze to summon Ronin Warrior Sekhmet, Warlord of Venom!"

A tornado surrounded White Blaze as he disappeared. A new figure replaced him as he wore a green helmet and black, beady eyes. His facial features are oddly snake–like, like his purple eyelids and lack of eyebrows. His Ronin armor consists of red and green color as he has six swords at his disposal. (5/ATK: 1800/DEF: 1700).

As Blake said, "Sekhmet attack Beowolf with Snake Fang Strike!"

Sekhmet took out all his six swords and combined it into one flaming long whip as he twirls around in the air to find his target. As he said, "Snake… Fang…" At this time, Sekhmet struck his whip–sword at Beowolf as he said, "…Strike!" The attack connected with Beowolf but instead of a destruction, a sting onto Beowolf was applied to him instead before he recoils the whip–sword back to his side.

As Grimm Hunter asks, "Why wasn't he destroyed?"

As Blake said, "Because whenever there's a card that battles with him, your Monster is saved from being destroyed… with a fair trade…"

Beowolf suddenly turns green and a Snake Fang Counter appeared on top of his head.

As Blake said, "But you'll won't know what it does, Cale destroy his monster!"

Cale charge towards Beowolf.

As Grimm Hunter said, "I think not! I activate Zero Gravity! Now all monsters that are face up will change battle positions."

The Trap card flashed, and all monster changed position, Cale, Dais, and Sekhmet change to DEF mode while Beowolf change to ATK mode.

As Blake said, "Fine then. I switch Dais back to ATK mode and end my turn with two facedowns."

As Grimm Hunter said, "My move." He draws a card.

As Blake said, "At this time, the Snake Fang Counter's effect activates. During your Standby Phase, you will take 500 Damage for each of it, as long as Sekhmet is on the Field!"

A splash of green ooze hits Grimm Hunter.

Blake: 1300

Grimm Hunter: 2700

As Grimm Hunter said, "I play Spellbook inside the Pot! This lets us draw three cards." He and Blake drew three cards.

As Blake asks in his thought "What's he up to now?"

Grimm Hunter look at the cards he drew and began to laugh.

As Blake asks, "What's going on?"

As Grimm Hunter said, "And now, I play my Spell Card, Soul Release! I banish Boarbatusk, Nevermore, Death Stalker, Ursa Grimm and my Card of Demise."

He removes the four Grimms and Card of Demise. Beowolf lost the power boost. (3/ATK: 1200–800/DEF: 500).

As Blake asks concern "What's up with that move?"

As Grimm Hunter said, "This! I activate my last Trap Card, Return from the Different Dimension! Now I can Special Summon as many banished Monsters as possible just as long as I pay half of my Life Points! And I'm going to call forth my other Grimms back!"

Blake: 1300

Grimm Hunter: 1350

A dimension rip appears on the sky as Ursa, Boarbatusk, Death Stalker and Nevermore appeared onto the Field, all ready to attack.

As Blake said, "This ain't good."

As Grimm Hunter said, "And the best has yet to come! I play Polymerization! I fuse all of my Grimms to call forth Dark Creature: Nuckelavee Grimm!"

Ursa, Boarbatusk, Death Stalker, Nevermore and Beowolf Grimm all jump into portal causing a bright light. Appearing on the field is horse–like creature with an equine main body and a skinless humanoid creature that is fused with it along with their red eyes. Its forelegs are shaped like claws and it has hooved hind legs that leave a characteristic hoofprint. The humanoid body has long curved horns on its head, a mouth that looks almost sewn shut, and two long elastic arms each with two clawed fingers. On the back of the human torso are boney spikes along its spine and a variety of weapons from previous battles stuck in it. Despite walking on its equine legs, its attached humanoid portion hangs limp to one side, making its arms drag along the ground. (11/ATK: ?/DEF: ?).

As Blake asks, "Unknown ATK and DEF points?"

As Grimm Hunter said, "Not for long, for every Grimm monster in the Graveyard, Nuckelavee gains 1000 ATK and DEF Points! I have my 5 Grimms so that gives him 5000 ATK and DEF Points!" (11/ATK: ?–5000/DEF: ?–5000).

As Blake said, "Not good."

As Grimm Hunter said, "Now Nuckelavee destroy his Dais!"

When Nuckelavee heard that, the humanoid body part began to twitch and the spikes on its spine lengthen, as do its horns, its pupils become vertical slits, and its mouth opens completely and charge towards Dais.

As everyone said at the same time "Blake!"

As Blake said, "Not so fast! Activate the trap, Waboku!"

The three robbed women appeared and took the blast releasing a bright light that cause the Nucklelavee to screech in pain before returning to Grimm Hunter's field.

As Grimm Hunter said, "Well, I end my turn, and just so you know, Nuckelavee can only be destroyed in battle, and when destroying the opponent's monster, when that same monster is summoned the opponent's monster ATK Points drop by 500." As Bastion said, "Now, Blake has to draw something good if he has to win."

As Zane said, "Well, let's just see."

As Blake said, "I draw." He draws a card looking at it and he smirked as he said, "I play Monster Reborn to bring back Anubis!"

Anubis returns to the field.

As Grimm Hunter said, "Makes no difference, they're not powerful enough to take down Nuckelavee."

As Blake said, "You're right they're not powerful to take your Grimm down but I'm gonna bring forth a monster who can defeat it. By sacrificing other than Anubis, I can Tribute Summon Ronin Warrior Lady Kayura onto the Field!"

With that being done, the three of them jumps high into the sky before it turns onto a light orb and white spark landed onto the Field, as a female figure who has long blue hair tied in a ponytail, with blue eyes, donned with gray armor with brown skirt and greaves. She also wields two swords on her hands as she was in a stance for the battle. (8/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000).

Kayura looked at Blake as she asks, "What is your command, Blake?"

As Blake said, "Just wait for a moment. I'll tell you Kayura's ability. I can ditch out the same number of cards to destroy the same amount of Monsters on your side of the Field, but I can't have her attack until my next turn. But I can't since your monster can't be destroyed in battle."

As Grimm Hunter asks, "Why summon her since she is not strong enough to defeat my Grimm?"

As Blake said, "Maybe not but I can use this! The spell card, Riryoku! This takes half of the ATK Points of Nuckelavee and adds them to Kayura!" As Grimm Hunter said, "No!"

A red aura surrounded Neckelavee while a blue aura surrounded Kayura. (11/ATK: 5000–2500/DEF: 5000). (8/ATK: 2500–5000/DEF: 2000).

As Blake said, "Not it's time to end this duel! Go Kayura!" Kayura held her sword tightly.

As Grimm Hunter said, "I activate Mirror Force destroying all of your monsters!"

As Blake said, "I don't think so! I activate my Trap card, Protection of the Ancient One!"

A monk wielding his staff and his hat covering his face appeared as he stared at Grimm Hunter.

As Blake said, "Whenever you have a card effect that would destroy my Ronin Warrior, as long as I have control of at least one Ronin Warrior, I can negate your Trap card's activation and destroy it in an instant!"

Mirror Force began to take effect, the Ancient points his staff at the Trap card and it suddenly turned black, rendering it useless.

As Grimm Hunter said, "No!"

As Blake said, "Kayura attack Nuckelavee and end this duel so we can free Unix with Star Sword Scream!"

Lady Kayura began to get into a stance as water began to surround her. As she said, "Listen to the cries of the night with my Star Night swords." She began to rotate her sword's position to upwards as a multiple number of water vortex rises to the sky and crashes of thunder can be heard. As she said, "Star Sword Scream!" Her echo can be heard from afar as a random thunder struck Nuckelavee causing it to screech and explodes into pixel.

Blake: 1300

Grimm Hunter: 0

Grimm Hunter fell to the ground just then a shadow aura appeared before it disappeared returning Unix back to his normal self.

Blake looked at Kayura and Anubis as they looked at him as he said, "Thank you, you two."

As Anubis said, "My friend, you won this battle."

As Kayura said, "He is right, Blake…you saved him, may the ways of the Ronin continue to be with you to the end…" They bowed slightly as the holograms disappeared.

At that point, the Ancient One appeared in front of him. As he said, "You did well, Blake."

As Blake said, "Ancient! You…"

As the Ancient One said, "Yes and I have predicted this outcome. Not only did you save the others from Grimm Hunter, you have also saved Unix as well. You have taken the righteous path of becoming a true Ronin…"

Blake smiled as he said, "Thank you, Ancient."

As the Ancient One said, "Continue this path of righteousness and someday, you will reach your goal…"

As Blake said, "I sure will." And right after that, the Ancient One continued walking before he disappeared from his view.

Ryo appeared as he said, "I'm proud of you, Blake."

As Blake said, "Thanks, Ryo." He ran up to Unix as he asks, "Hey, are you okay?"

Zane came up to him as he said, "Let's get him to the hospital."

At the Infirmary, they saw Blake won the duel as Jaden said, "Alright, he won!"

Alexis looked to Atticus as she said in her thought "You're safe now, Atticus; and that goes for the rest of you…" She looked at Leonardo and Stella as she said in her thought "Now just get well so you can walk the academy again…"

Chapter 28 is finally done. The four Warlords and Lady Kayura have appeared and Unix is free of Grimm Hunter who uses the Grimm creatures from RWBY! Now onto the next chapter, until then see ya soon!
