Yu-Gi-Oh: RWBY Chronicles
Chapter 5: Elemental Critical Strike!
Anna found herself floating in a strange place, which seem to be like space. She looked around, as examine the spectacle around her. A bright light then flashed behind her, as Anna shield her eyes from the flash. When she looked up, she saw a figure standing in the light. Anna couldn't see who the figure was, since he or she was standing behind the light. The figure then held up several cards in his or her hand that were shining in his or her hand. The cards then floated towards Anna, as they shined even brighter than before, engulfing the area in light. Anna then found herself lying on her bed. She realized she had another strange dream.
"Why do dreams also have to be so vague? Can't they just get straight to the point?" Anna thought to herself.
When she tried to get up, her body ached, and she could barely sit up straight. It felt like her entire body went to the GYM for 7 days straight with no rest at all.
"I see you're awake." A voice said in the corner.
Anna turned her head to see Blake in a chair reading her book. She looked pretty invested in it. She was reading the Ninjas of Love book. Anna wonder what the Ninjas of Love book was about. From what she heard from Ruby, she described it in one word: filth.
"What happened last night? The last thing I remember was attacking a Lead Yoke with Yang. After that everything just- tch." Anna said, as she winced at her pain.
"I suggest you take it easy. The Dark Duels that you participate in seem to inflict heavy damage onto your body. I'm surprised you able to stand up after getting hit like that, especially without aura." Blake said, still reading her book.
"Oh yeah. Remind me to never take up boxing. I'm sure I would get K.O. in a real match." Anna said.
"I'm sure you would. I'll go get the others, and let them know you're okay." Blake said, as she exited the room.
When Blake left the room, Anna then felt something in her hands. After pulling back the covers, she saw that she holding several Blank cards. She then realized that these were the same cards from the same dream she had. It must have meant something, but she wonder why they were blank.
"I have some of the craziest dreams. So what is up with these blank cards anyway?" Anna asked herself.
The door to her room then burst open as multiple rose petals came flying in. A little red chibi then came flying into the room and then appeared in front of Anna, and standing on her bed jumping up and down.
"Anna! I'm so glad to see that you're alright! I was so worried last night when Victoria said that you were in bad shape. So are you feeling any better?" Ruby asked, as she was happy to see her friend awake.
"Get off the bed Ruby. You have to let Anna rest, and she can't recover with you jumping around her room." Weiss said, as she appeared next to Ruby, pulling on her ear.
"Okay! Okay! I get it Weiss! Just please let go of my ear!" Ruby pleaded.
Anna giggled just a bit seeing the scene unfold before her. Yang then came into the room, and she was just as energetic as ever.
"Hey there Anna! How you doing? Don't answer, because I already know what you're going to say. Anyway, the way you took that punch from Grand Kuma's monster was amazing. And the second best part was when you stop his attack, WITH A PIG! Bwahhhhahahha!" Yang laughed, thinking it was funny to use a pig to save the day.
"Yeah! It is pretty funny when you think about it!" Ruby said, as she failed to hold back her laughter.
Ruby then started laughing as well, now that she thought how funny it was to use a pig to stop an attack. Weiss just though it was completely ridiculous that one pig could stop a lethal attack, let alone spit out its own skeleton.
"I guess it is. So I'm guessing first place was the part when you attacked." Anna said.
"Are you kidding me!? It was amazing! I was literally on fire, and I never felt that strong before in life! The ability that this game gave me, is similar to my semblance. This duel monsters game is both funny and awesome at the same time." Yang said, as Anna was almost overwhelmed by her excitement.
"Yeah! Yang was all like: Kaboom, Kapow, and Bam! And Lead Yoke was all like: Blarrgh! You made my sister look awesome!" Ruby yelled, as her eyes had stars in them.
Weiss rolled her eyes, at the silliness of what her teammates were doing, but smiled as it was slightly amusing to her. She then remember the tactic that Anna used to win the duel. The spell card Assault Armor. A monster was shown on that card looked exactly like him. To clarify her answer, she then decided to ask Anna about it.
"Anna. There is something I need to…" Weiss said, until Zack came bursting through the room, throwing her off guard.
"Anna! Great to see you're A-Okay!" Zack yelled, surprising Weiss.
"Nice to see you too-. Zack. What in the blazes happened to you!?" Anna said, shocked of how Zack looked.
Zack had multiple bandages on his head, arms, several burn marks on his body, and a couple of bandages on his cheeks, and one on his noise. Anna couldn't tell, but there were also bandages underneath his shirt.
"Long story. So you feeling okay now?" Zack asked, walking towards the bed.
"You're asking me if I'm okay!? I should be the one concerned about you! You look liked you just got into a fist fight and lost horribly!" Anna yelled, mortified by Zack appearance.
"Well. It's more like a beat-down, rather than a fight." Zack said, scratching his head.
"What happened?" Anna asked.
"Let's just say I got into a hairy situation, and it heated up real quickly." Zack punned, snickering.
He then found a gauntlet up to his face. Anna then remembered that anyone who touched Yang's hair, pays the ultimate price.
"While I respect you double pun in one sentence. Don't, pun, about, my hair, ever. You understand?" Yang said, in a menacing voice, as her eyes turned red.
"Yes ma'am!" Zack said, as he did not want to feel the wrath of Yang.
Everyone else laugh at the Yang and Zack's situation. Yang eventually forgave Zack, and apologized for going berserk on him. They then had a good laugh about it, and the two immediately began making puns. They even started their own pun book. Ruby tried to burn it, but it was protected in a secure box, with several stink serum bombs.
"Well, as long as you're alive, I can be glad about that. By the way, where's Blake and Victoria?" Anna asked.
"Oh. Victoria is busy making you breakfast and Blake is seeing how she is doing." Ruby said.
"I wonder how well that's going." Anna said, worried what was going on in the kitchen.
"Relax Anna. It's only bacon and eggs, and no one can mess up bacon and eggs." Yang replied.
Blake then flew in into the door, and there were eggs bits on her face. Victoria then followed behind as she had egg bits on top of her head as well.
"Sorry Anna. Victoria messed up the bacon and eggs." Blake replied, in a monotone voice.
"I stand corrected." Yang said.
"What happen this time Victoria?" Anna asked, in a deadpanned tone.
"Well, I did what you said, which was to crack the eggs. I just happened to use the eggs that I was experimenting on during my free time. The eggs that I used were dipped in a special bacteria, that when heated up start to multiply. I didn't noticed since I was cooking the bacon, but the eggs started to grow at an intense pace. Luckily, Blake saw what was happening and she immediately began cutting up the eggs, saving me from being buried under a 10 foot pile of scramble eggs." Victoria said.
"I never thought I would see the day where I would had to fight eggs to survive." Blake said, as she brushed some eggs off her head.
"So, I decided to bring you cereal instead. Rice krispies, or cinnamon toast crunch?" Victoria asked, pulling the cereal out of no-where.
"Toast crunch. So now that all of team RWBY is here, what do we do now?" Anna asked.
"Not to worry Anna, because our fearless leader, yours truly, has the plans on her scroll. Now I'll just take it out." Ruby said grinning.
Ruby then reached into her pocket, only to feel nothing. She searched for a while, finding nothing. Everyone shot looks at her.
"Actually, I think it's in my other pocket! Just give me one second. Where is it? It's got to be in here!" Ruby said.
Ruby dug through her pockets pulling out multiple cookie rations, bullets, a crumpled up weapons magazine, and what appears to be set of handcuffs. Ruby frantically searched her pockets, desperately looking for her scroll.
"Don't tell me that are fearless leader has lost her scroll?" Weiss said.
"Well maybe. Sort of. Okay! I admit I lost my scroll! I must have lost it when we came here." Ruby sadly said.
"At this point, I'm not surprised that you're still somewhat irresponsible at times. However, unlike you, I happen to keep track of my things." Weiss said, as she reached into her pocket.
After shifting around in her pocket, Weiss couldn't feel her Scroll. Ruby then looked at Weiss, crossing her arms, and then decides to imitate her.
"Oh, look at me. I'm Weiss Schnee. I'm so responsible. I can take care of my things. I'm so much better at organization." Ruby mocked.
"We all tend to make mistakes. I just make less mistakes than you." Weiss argued back.
"Yeah right. What about you Blake?" Ruby asked.
"Sorry. But I don't have my scroll. The most likely reason is that we lost them during the collision we had when we came to this world." Blake said.
"If you're going to ask me, don't expect much. I got nothing." Yang replied.
Team RWBY then realized that they now how no idea what to do without their scrolls. They were now in this world without a clue of what to do. This won't stop them from doing whatever they have to do, but it was going to be a lot more difficult. Weiss secretly blamed Ruby.
"Well, not much we can do about it. I guess we can just lay low for now." Blake said.
Anna then decided to speak up.
"Blake's right you guys. I think you should all just-tch!" Anna said, as she wince from her pain.
"Anna! You're still hurt! Don't worry. I know what will make you feel better." Ruby said getting an idea.
Ruby then used her semblance to rush out of the room. She then came back with holding several items in her hands.
"Here we go, I got you everything you need. A whole glass of milk. My favorite game Kung-Fu Ninja Slayer Death Battle 2. The first one was way better though. And finally, a motivational cat picture. Meow." Ruby said.
"Errr, why?" Zack asked Blake, seeing the poster was her on a tight rope, with the words, Hang in there.
"I don't want to talk about it." Blake replied, as she glared angrily at the poster.
"Ruby. Anna doesn't need all this. All she need is some rest. Besides, she can't play the game without our scrolls." Weiss said.
"Well, 2 out of 3 is still good. Also, I told you this before, but this is what my dad did when I didn't feel good, and it would always make me feel better. *cough*. Right Yang?" Ruby said.
"Yeah! Trust us Anna! You will start feeling better in no time." Yang said, holding a thumb up.
Weiss gave Anna a look that told her to just go with it. Ruby and Yang's method of getting better was questionable, but it was the thought that counts. She would drink the milk, but decided not to hang the poster, knowing Blake might not like it. The Anna's D-tablet then started ringing. The caller ID showed it was her parents.
"It's mom and dad!" Anna yelled.
"Now that you mention it, I haven't seen your parents. Where exactly are they?" Weiss asked, Victoria.
"Oh. Our parents are archeologists, and they are currently in ancient Egypt, working in a dig site. One time, our dad almost brought back a cursed artifact. Our mom was able to decipher the text in time, before the scarab beetles ate everybody." Victoria explained.
Team RWBY just sweat dropped at the fact their father almost got everyone killed, just by taking an artifact home. Zack heard the story already, but it was still funny to him. The screen was blank for a couple of seconds, then a face then appeared in front.
"Is this thing on? Uh, hello? Anyone home? Are you still alive Anna? Vicky?" A male voice said.
"I think you have the feedback camera off Alex." A female voice said.
"Oh. Thanks Spark." The man named Alex said.
"So your father's name is Alex, and your mother's name is Spark? That's a unique name for a woman." Blake said.
"I think it's a nice name." Ruby said.
"Of course you do." Blake said, sarcastically.
When the monitor zoomed out, two adults in their mid-40s. The man known as Alex Yuno, had short blond hair, two small brown eyes, and he had a small bandage on his left cheek. He was also wearing an archeologist vest with a white shirt underneath, with brown pants. He also appeared to have a belt with a variety of tools, which are mostly used for digging up artifacts or examining them. The woman that was next to him, was Spark Yuno. She had long hair that was bright red, two blue eyes, and she wore an archeologist vest, as Alex did, along with short shorts. She too had a belt of various equipment as well.
"Hey Spark, I think we just found two treasures, and they are ours for the keeping. Alex said, gesturing towards Anna and Victoria.
"Oh, you're such a jokester." Spark said, rolling her eyes.
"Hi dad, hi mom. How is your dig going?" Anna asked.
"Everything is going pretty well girls. This excavation is going smoothly." Alex replied.
"You mean to tell me that accidently triggering four traps on our last exploration in the ruins translates to, smoothly. And it wasn't even 5 minutes yet. If it weren't for me, you would have arrows where your eyes would be, and your body would be melted in a puddle of acid." Spark said, with a sly smile.
"You don't have to say it in front of the girls." Alex said, with a sadden look.
"Well, it's good to see you're still alive and not sleeping with the kings." Victoria said.
The Yuno family then started laughing at what Victoria said. Team RWBY just watched the weird conversation unfold. Victoria told their parents about the meatloaf monster, and Spark told them they were attacked by an angry group of camels. Team RWBY just stared at family with blank looks, after hearing the weird and crazy stories they just exchanged.
"This is an interesting family." Weiss whispered to her team.
"What's a camel?" Ruby asked.
Alex and Spark settled down, till they noticed Zack in the room.
"Zack. Nice to see you're doing well. You're not causing any trouble for my daughters, are you?" Alex said.
"No sir! I'm taking care of them with the greatest of my abilities." Zack said, saluting.
"From what I seen, Zack's best is pretty mediocre." Blake said.
"He did save us from that robber." Ruby said, trying to defend Zack.
"He tied us up in the process." Weiss said, remembering that moment.
"At least he has a nice personality." Yang said.
Alex and Spark the noticed Anna's injuries.
"Anna. What in the world happened to you? Its looks like you went toe to toe with a boxer, and got K.O. as soon as the gong went off." Alex said.
"He has no idea how accurate that is." Zack thought.
Anna tried to come up with something in her mind. She couldn't just say that she was dueling monsters that came from a different dimension. Not only did it sound dangerous, but nobody would actually believe her. It would just sound outright ridiculous. Luckily for her, Victoria knows how to work under pressure.
"Anna was walking home from school yesterday, and she tripped over a rock near the city river. She fell down the hill, and the ground was so ruff, that she got a couple of bruises. Zack was there to help her, so I was able to patch her up in time, when he got her home." Victoria explained, as her face was still calm.
"Yeah…that's exactly what happened!" Anna said quickly.
Alex and Spark thought about it for a moment, and decided to just go with it.
"Ok then. Just promise us that you try and be more careful next time. Alright Anna?" Spark said.
"Yes mom." Anna replied.
"Alright then. Well, your mother and I have to go now. We have to do a video session for a documentary video of ancient Egypt." Alex said.
"We just have to make sure we don't sound boring again. The last video we made was so boring that it was primarily used for to put people to sleep that had a hard time sleeping. I think that we tried too hard to sound smart." Spark said.
"It was that boring?" Blake questioned.
"No documentary can be that boring." Weiss said, not believing it.
"Documentaries are still boring either way to me." Ruby said.
"It can't be as bad as Professors Port's lectures." Yang said.
"Alright! Bye dad. Bye mom." Anna said, waving goodbye.
"Just be more careful Anna. A future duelist can't duel with a broken body and spirit." Alex said.
"And an archeologist can't do his job if he is buried under the ruins." Victoria said back.
"Very funny Vicky. Very funny." Alex said.
"Come on Alex. Let's get going now. Bye girls." Spark said, as she waved goodbye.
"Bye." Anna and Victoria said.
The monitor then turned black. Team RWBY were glad that these two girls had a nice family. Although some of their conversation was quite weird, it was touching to the girls. They then realized that Zack wasn't part of this family.
"Hey Zack. Why are you here all of the time? Where is your family?" Ruby asked, now curious.
"My mom and dad are chaperoning my younger sister's field trip. They should be coming home this afternoon. I also have an older brother, but he lives in the dorms of his college." Zack explained.
"Oh really. So what is your family like?" Yang asked.
"Let's just say that we are an interesting group of people. My dad and mom are unique in their own way, but you have to see them to believe me. My little sister Mia is very curious of the world, and tries to learn anything that interests her. She's also in middle school in the sixth grade. She's really friendly, unless you get on her bad side, which is the opposite of you Ruby." Zack said.
"You mean like Weiss?" Ruby asked.
"Hey!" Weiss retorted.
"I wouldn't go that far. Anyway, my older brother is pretty strict most of the time. He usually calls the place from time to time, to make sure nothing is going haywire. You could say, he keeps the house from going over the edge." Zack said, as he scratch his head.
"Just like how Weiss keeps Ruby in check." Blake said.
"No argument there." Weiss said, with her arms crossed.
"So what about you guys? What's your family like?" Zack asked.
At that moment, RWBY became silent. Ruby and Yang looked at each other with worried looks. Weiss had a face that look troublesome. Blake was unsure of what to say. Victoria takes notices of this, and tries to change the subject.
"Wait a moment! I think we should all let Anna rest right now. Weiss said she does need rest, and that is a smart suggestion. So maybe we should all get out." Victoria said.
"Can I ask Anna a couple of things first?" Zack asked.
"Fine. But not too long Zack. Come girls, we shall leave first." Victoria said
While Zack stayed behind, team RWBY and Victoria left the room first. Victoria was about to head downstairs to think of what to do next, until she was stopped by Blake.
"Alright Victoria. What's was that back there?" Blake asked.
Victoria was silent for a moment until she decided to speak.
"Anna and Zack didn't take noticed of your expressions at the mentioning of your family. They probably took it as a sign of hesitation of what to talk about. I however am more familiar with social interactions. It's clear that talking about family for you guys is uncomfortable. I don't know what happened, but until you're ready, you girls don't have to say anything." Victoria said.
"Well, Anna is our duelist. So I think she has the right to know." Yang said, thinking about it.
"By the way. Thanks for your consideration Victoria." Weiss said.
Victoria just smiled at the girls, as all four smiled back. Zack then came out of the door ruining the moment.
"Hey guys! What did I miss?" Zack asked.
"Nothing important." Weiss said, turning her head.
"Zack. I need you to run down to the store and get me these items on the list. Here's the cash needed to buy it." Victoria said, handing Zack a shopping list, and the exact amount of cash needed to buy it.
"You can count on me Vic. I'll be back in a jiffy!" Zack said, as he went down stairs.
"Oh, and take Weiss with you." Victoria said.
"Wait! Why me?" Weiss asked.
"Because I need someone responsible to look out for Zack, just in case if he forgets. You're the smartest of the group as well. You wouldn't want me to send Ruby with him." Victoria said, with a smile.
"That, is quite true." Weiss said, admitting defeat.
"Victoria sure does make good arguments. No wonder she's smart." Ruby said, and a little peeved of what Victoria said at the end.
"But she still can't make bacon and eggs for some reason." Blake said.
"Alright then! Come one Weiss. Let's shop! Zack away!" Zack exclaimed.
Zack then picked up Weiss' card and then dashed out of the door dragging Weiss with him.
"ZACK! SLOW DOWN!" Weiss yelled, as she pulled at her own free will.
Zack then mounted on his bike and headed out, as Weiss held onto his shirt.
(Grim Cave)
The Liege was sitting in this throne, and was very unhappy. So far, he stubbed his toe this morning, breakfast exploded in his face, he had to hire a new Grim cook (he killed the last one), and now he just received notice that Grand Kuma had been defeated. It was not a good day for him.
"Uh…Liege. Are you okay?" The Beowolf asked.
"Yeah, I'm okay. It's all gloom and thunder storms today. Oh wait, it isn't. You know why?" Liege asked, as voice became demonic.
"Is that a trick question? Because I know why, but I not sure if I should answer." The Beowolf shutter with fear.
"Come on. Tell me." The liege said, getting off his throne.
"We…lost four times…in a row…to Anna Yuno and the huntresses." The Beowolf said.
"THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT!" Liege yelled, as he kicked the Beowolf in the face.
The Beowolf was then sent flying across the room, as he then crashed into a wall, and a barrel fell on his head out of no-where, knocking him out. The Liege then went back to his throne as he then sat back down. The Beowolf quickly regain consciousness, as he then raised his arm in the air.
"I…do have…good news…sir." The Beowolf said.
"Really. Then tell me what it is right now?" Liege said, intrigued.
"Before Grand Kuma lost, he was able to injure the duelist severally. Our examiners say she should be recovering right now." The Beowolf replied.
The Liege thought about this for a moment. He then created a smile underneath his helmet.
"This is good news indeed." Liege said.
"Does this mean you'll attack the huntresses?" The Beowolf asked.
"Of course. However, the only reason why we attacked them in the first place was to see if we could make our jobs easier. Apparently we failed, so our mission here will be much harder. So, what'll do is send a squadron of Grim to the city to this place. Also, we'll send a Grim to try and take out Anna Yuno in the process. I know just the Grim to can drag her to the pits of despair. In the mean-time, we must also focus on our mission at hand. Dealing with Anna Yuno is our second priority for now. Go tell the Grim-Ops to test this Black-Shot device, and bring me Eddie Terror." Liege said.
The Liege then handed the Beowolf a right hand-arm glove. It was different from an ordinary glove, as it had wires that were attached to the finger parts, and a glowing dark core on the palm. For an added terror design, it also had sharp edges on it, and a red orb on the back of the arm part of the glove. The Beowolf then exited the building, with the glove in hand. The doors then opened up, as the room was filled with a dark mist. Then a jack -in-the-box music tone played in the background, as a figure appeared through the door, and almost everything we wore had spikes. This Grim wore black pants, with a belt with spikes. The front of his shoes had snake fangs sticking out. He wore chest armor, resembling that of a mouth, with an eye in the center. He also wore shoulder pads that resembled masks that looked like they were in pain. He had multiple red orbs on his jacket. His face had red eyes with black pupils, and he had multiple rows of sharp teeth, just like a shark. He also had long black hair that extended towards his waist. This was Eddie Terror. The Grim that earned the nickname of "The Nightmare of Huntsmen".
"You wanted to see me?" Eddie asked.
"First of all: Nice music. It really goes with your demonic looks, when you make those scary dramatic entrances. Second of all: you have your assignment today. I build a deck for you, and I want you to use it against Anna, and anyone who stands by her." Liege said.
Liege then handed the deck he materialized in his hand to Eddie. Eddie then examined the contents of the deck, and he didn't look to please, making a snarl at it.
"What is this? A toy shop?" Eddie asked rhetorically.
"Look at the extra deck." Liege said, pointing to the refer cards.
Eddie then examined the extra deck, and his expression then soon change to one of sinister joy, as he grinned at the cards he was looking at.
"Well, I guess you can't just judge a book by its cover. So Anna Yuno is the target, correct?" Eddie said.
"Who else?" Liege asked.
"May I suggest anyone who is an ally with this Anna Yuno?" Eddie asked, sinisterly.
"Do what you will. Family or friend, there is no exception to anyone who is allied to Anna. Just make sure you beat her, and claim the huntresses." Liege said.
"Oh, I'll do more than beat her. I'll break her spirit." Eddie said, sadistically.
(Yuno Residence)
At Yuno residence, Victoria was looking on her D-tablet, looking up how to make an herbal remedy to heal Anna. Blake was just in the living room reading her book. Ruby was looking at Anna's cards to familiarize herself with the deck she was going to be used in, and she consider this the only time she had study so hard. Yang was sitting down on the table with Victoria and was chatting with her about small things.
"So you took out a gigantic war machine, after getting hit by it two times, absorb the damage using your aura, and destroyed it with one punch? That is pretty impressive." Victoria said, studying her tablet.
"Yeah. Sometimes, I even surprise myself. You know, it is very quiet when Weiss isn't around yelling at us all the time." Yang said, stretching her arms out
"You should spend an entire day with Zack. That kid is like a bottomless energy canister. Always trying to live to the extreme. Always trying to finish what he starts. It's quite admirable, in a way." Victoria said.
"Weiss may yell at us a lot, but I guess it's just because she just trying to look out for us. Making sure that we don't accidently blow up a city block." Yang said.
"I wonder how does two are doing anyway. The way we talk about them sounds liked we mixed oil with water." Victoria said, as she turn her head in curiosity.
"I'm sure they're fine. Opposite due tend to attract." Yang said.
(Jewel City Convenience Store)
"I'm telling you Weiss we got everything." Zack complained.
"Tea leaves?" Weiss asked, with a glare.
"Yes." Zack replied, having a tic on his head.
"Medical herbs?" Weiss asked, as she stared even more.
"Lock and loaded." Zack replied, twitching his eye.
"Bandages and ointment?" Weiss asked, as she wasn't convinced.
"Check and check. Now stop asking me questions!" Zack yelled.
Zack and Weiss had finished shopping for the supplies that Victoria needed to treat Anna's injuries. It would have been okay for Zack, if Weiss hadn't kept on criticizing most of his actions. Maybe he did compare the items a little longer than was needed, and it was weird for a fifteen year old to be riding on a shopping card, by putting his feet on the axles of the back wheels. But Weiss just did it in a way that seem so annoying, it just sucked up all the fun. Weiss least favorite part was when Zack had to go to the bathroom. Weiss said he had to use the first stall in order to stay out of bathroom, as she refused to step into the men's bathroom. Zack wasn't listening as he really need to go, after drinking a jumbo soda he bought with his own money. What happen was that Zack ended up using the stall farthest from the entrance, causing Weiss to be press against the door with massive pressure, as she was so close to her movement range around her card. There also happen to be a moment where Zack order an ice cream for him and Weiss to share. No one else was around, so they could eat, without anyone seeing a floating spoon. This would have gone well, if Zack didn't put tobasco sauce on the ice cream, burning Weiss' mouth.
"Out of all the boys I have meet, you are far by the most improper out of all of them. Who puts hot sauce on ice cream!?" Weiss said.
"Weiss, listen. If there is one thing you should know about me, is that I like to live life to greatest extreme possible. You just got to live more once in a while." Zack said, pointing his right index finger in the air.
"Honestly. You need to have more constraint on your actions. You can't just go rushing everything that is placed in front of you." Weiss said crossing her arms.
"Alright Weiss, I copy. You know. I find it relaxing talking to you. For some reason." Zack said, looking up.
"And why is that?" Weiss asked.
"It's just you have a different view point from me, making you different. If everyone on in the world was the same, then life as we know it wouldn't be interesting at all." Zack said.
"I would rather prefer to have things less interesting, depending on your definition of it. But what you say does hold merit." Weiss said.
Zack and Weiss just looked at each other and smile, (Zack had a goofier one).
"So we good?" Zack asked.
"I suppose. But if you ever burn my tongue ever again, I will freeze your head." Weiss said.
"Got it." Zack said, a little terrified.
As Weiss and Zack reconcile, Zack put his arm around Weiss' shoulder, as she immediately gave him a cold look to tell him to let go. At that point. Weiss then felt something strong, and dark. She then saw a dark aura flying through the sky, going in the same direction they were. Zack takes notice of Weiss expression, and then sees the dark apparition.
"Zack! It's the Grim! They're going to attack everyone back at the house!" Weiss exclaimed.
"Drat. And at a time like this. Anna may be a skilled duelist, but she is in no condition to duel. If she were to duel, she wouldn't be able to withstand any kind of attack that game of darkness had to offer." Zack said, clenching the shopping bag.
"We have to warn them. Call them on your D-Tablet." Weiss said, turning her head towards Zack.
Only to be dragged off again forcefully, as Zack immediately mounted his bike and began pedaling as fast he could. Weiss was now clinging onto his shoulder, to avoid being dragged around like a rag doll.
"This is bad. I won't be able to make it in time! Weiss, do you have a plan!?" Zack said, as he pedal furiously.
Weiss then started to look around her environments. She saw a triangular truck ramp that was used for transporting cars. Weiss had no intention of using it, but she realized there was no other way.
"I have something in mind, but it's completely stupid, and probably an idea Ruby would do." Weiss said, concern of what came to her head.
"Hey, some plans are so stupid, that they actually work." Zack said.
"I'm going to regret this. Alright Zack, you just have to listen to me. Think you can do that?" Weiss said.
"Weiss. My friend is about to be attacked by a monster, and you're the only option I have; of course I'm listening!" Zack said.
"Alright then, here goes. It will be a miracle if I live through this ordeal." Weiss said and thought as she prepared her Myrtenaster.
"Head for that ramp!" Weiss yelled.
"I don't know what you're doing Weiss. But any plan that involves me riding towards a ramp, is an awesome plan." Zack said, as he started pedaling even faster.
"It's also the stupidest plan. But I'm afraid stupid is my only option. Hang on Zack." Weiss said.
Weiss then used Myrtenaster to create a glyph underneath Zack's bike, which resembled that of a clock. Zack felt himself getting faster and faster by the second. Weiss then made a row of glyphs in front of her, as Zack then felt his body becoming lighter. Zack then grinned intensely, as he knew what he was going to do will be awesome. At the moment reached the ramp at full speed, he flew straight into the air.
"Now this what I call falling with style!" Zack yelled.
"Just get us back in one piece!" Weiss yelled, as she continued making glyphs for Zack to land on mid-flight.
"Hang on Anna. I'm coming." Zack thought, hoping he would make it in time.
(Yuno Residence)
It was almost nighttime as the sun was just about to set. Anna was feeling a little better, and was allowed to be out of bed as long as she didn't do anything reckless and was giving tips of deck building to Ruby and Yang. Ruby and Yang were building decks for a small friendly sibling duel, using cards that Anna had in her card inventory. Blake meanwhile was wondering how they were going to know what to do without their scrolls. She borrowed Anna's D-tablet to research more about this Jewel city. There was also the fact that Anna doesn't have the luxury to help all the time, as she has her own social life, and helping team RWBY is one of many. Victoria was in her room studying for an upcoming test, and listening to classical music to help her study. She also told Anna not to disturb her, unless it was an emergency.
"You're so going down Yang." Ruby said, as she picked her cards.
"In your dreams Ruby, cause this deck is going crush you so badly." Yang said, as she smirked.
Blake in the meanwhile was surfing the web seeing what she could find.
"So this place is famous for its gem mines, interesting. Also, how is it possible for the stars to shine like diamonds here?" Blake said, as she was amazed by the pictures of the starry nights.
"Hey Blake. You sure you don't want to play with us? Anna said that we are allowed to have a three way duel. I'm sure it would be fun." Yang asked, waving her hand at Blake.
"Yang. The duel monsters game may be our way of combat here, but I'm not in the mood to play right now." Blake said, still focusing on the tablet.
"Not even if it involved ninjas?" Yang said, showing Blake the Strike Ninja card.
The card showed a ninja garbed warrior who had yellow bandages on his arms, and the bottom of his legs, red knee pads, a red scarf and a mask that a three point star ornament on his head, a golden part that showed his red eyes, and a his red mouth piece. He also wielded two kunais, as he moving so fast leaving behind afterimages. Blake slightly blushed at the monster as she had a soft spot for ninjas. Yang smirked at her partner's reaction, and Blake quickly shakes her head and turns away in embarrassment.
"Curse you Yang." Blake said under her voice.
Ruby and Anna, snickered at the scene and went back to what they were doing. While Blake was looking at Anna's D-tablet. She saw multiple photos of her and Zack doing things together as friends. She smiled at Anna and Zack's friendship. But was weirded out by the stuff they were doing. One picture showed them squirting each other with ketchup, while another picture shows them dressed as secret agents.
"A weird, but yet touching, friendship." Blake smiling, nervously at the pics.
Ruby, Blake and Yang then all sense something sinister. They stopped what they were doing and immediately went on the offensive drawing out their weapons.
"What's going on girls?" Anna asked.
"It's a Grim. It's close by." Ruby said, now alert.
"It sure does have a wonderful sense of timing." Blake said sarcastically.
Suddenly, the air turned cold, as the front entrance of the door flew opened. Dark mist then began to flood the room, as the lights went out. It was quiet, but sinister at the same time. Ruby, Blake, and Yang looked for anything that moved. For some reason, Jack-In-The-Box music played. Just then, Anna felt something behind her. She then turned her head around slowly, and saw a nightmarish creature. It eyes glowed red with black pupils, as it showed multiple rows of sharp teeth. It also had an eye in the middle of its chest that looked evil.
"Hello little girl. Up for a challenge?" The creature asked.
Anna stepped back in fear, knowing she couldn't take him on in her condition. Ruby then turned into a flurry of petals, and then rushed towards the grim. Ruby manage to stab the monster, but he didn't seem to be fazed. He just smiled, and chuckled.
"Heh. That tickles." The Grim said.
Ruby clenched her teeth, as she then jumped back to evade the Grim's swipe. Blake then ran towards the Grim, as she tied its left leg, and begin swinging around the Grim, firing multiple shots at it. This however had little effect on the Grim as it flinched just a bit at the shots. What he didn't expect was a little yellow huntress to deliver an uppercut to his face. This sent him flying back, as he did not suspected the surprise attack. The only causality was the soft, which split in two.
"That should keep him comfortable for a while." Yang said.
"We have to get away from here, and fast." Blake said, dusting her cloths.
"Don't worry girls. I can take him. And even without Weiss, I can beat him." Anna said, getting her D-Tablet.
"Anna. We all know you can dish it out. But after everything that has happen to you. I'm not sure if you can take it." Ruby said, concern about her friend.
"But…" Anna said, until she felt a jolt of pain in her left arm, as she then dropped her tablet.
"We are going, and that's final." Yang said, sounding a bit more serious.
Yang then grabbed Anna by the arm, and pulled her out of the door as Ruby and Blake then followed. The Grim then regained consciousness quickly as he then rubbed his head.
"You can run, but you can't hide." The Grim said, as he turned into a swirl of black mist, and headed out the door.
Anna, and RBY were outside but they didn't get that far as the Grim was able to out speed them and get right in front of them.
"Now wait just a moment. If you think I'm just going to let you go and get away, you got another thing coming." The Grim said.
"Two questions. One: who are you, and Two: how do you keep finding us!?" Anna yelled.
"To answer the first, I'm Eddie Terror. AKA, Nightmare of Huntsmen. And the second…IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Eddie said, mockingly.
"Hmph. I guess not all minions will blab about everything." Yang said.
"Now then, either you fight me here in a duel, to savor whatever pride you have left, or you can just give the huntresses to me. As you know I can hurt you, but I can't kill you in this state. And don't think about running, because this darkness barrier prevents you from getting out." Eddie said, pointing to the barrier surrounding him.
Normally, Anna's first instinct would be grab her D-Tablet and put it on. However, she felt weak and could barely move her arms. Plus, Victoria said that the darkness games inflict real damage to the body, and Anna has already done four. A fifth duel will cause major damage to her body. There was also the fact that if she refuse to duel in the arena, Ruby, Blake and Yang would be taken away. She then hesitantly reached for her D-tablet.
"Anna. You can't duel this guy! Your body is in bad shape after all the beatings you've been getting." Yang said, grabbing her arm.
"You're in this mess because of us, and I don't want to lose another person I care about." Ruby said, as she desperately tried to hold back Anna.
"So what am I supposed to do? Let this guy take you away? Let me remind you that it was my own choice to join this battle, and help you anyway possible. It's the promise of a duelist, to her duel spirits." Anna said, trying to get Yang and Ruby to let go of her.
"She right." Blake said.
"What are you saying Blake!? Anna could get killed." Yang yelled, as her eyes flickered red for a moment.
"If Anna forfeits, the Grim is allow to kill her. So if Anna accepts the duel, there may be a guarantee we might survive. However, in her condition, she won't be able endure much. So either way you look at it, we all have a high probability of being defeated, whether we accept the duel or not." Blake said, as she looked down.
"Well…that's…" Yang said, trying to make an argument, but accepted what Blake said as true.
"So, what will you do?" Eddie asked, knowing exactly what Anna would do.
Eddie was an experience Grim. He knows what a huntsmen does and what he thinks. They would sacrifice themselves to save the weak, they would never turn their backs on their friends, and they would certainly never give in to fear. He uses this to his advantage, making the Huntsman suffer by putting them through situations that are so hopeless that it shatters their minds. This why he earned the nickname, Nightmare of Huntsmen. He made them dread with no hope at all. Ruby looked at Anna, and she saw Anna's resolve to fight, but her fear of failing. Yang clenched her fist knowing that Anna was going to fight no matter what they say. Blake accepted the truth easier than Ruby and Yang did, but she hated it. As Anna reached for her deck, a delivery came.
"INCOMING!" A voice yelled from the sky
Everyone then directed their attention towards the voice which was behind Anna, and RBY. What they saw was Zack on his bike riding, hoping on the glyphs towards the barrier.
"DID SOMEBODY ORDER A MIRACLE!?" Zack yelled as he was about to crash through the barrier.
Zack's bike then went through the barrier, as he then landed on the ground. Weiss was seen on his shoulder, and all tired out after using her glyphs consecutively. Zack then dismounted from his bike, with his back facing towards Eddie Terror. He then turned around and he put his right fist on his chest.
"I, have arrived." Zack said dramatically, as he extended his left arm out, throwing his right out.
Everyone just stared at him, as he did his pose. Ruby did thought it was okay, but now wasn't the time for catchphrases.
"That was awesome Weiss. We have to do that again sometime." Zack said, carrying Weiss towards to her team.
"No. We will not do that…as long as I live." Weiss said, as she was catching her breath.
"Weiss! Are you okay? You look like you've been fighting non-stop for days!" Ruby yelled, as she supported her friend.
"I'm fine Ruby. Just a little tried, after getting Zack here." Weiss said slowly.
Zack then turned went up to Anna.
"Zack. What are you doing here?" Anna asked.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm going duel mister ugly over there to protect you." Zack said.
"First of all. I'm not ugly, I'm terrifying. Second of all. Who says you can substitute for Anna?" Eddie asked.
"It's in this Darkness game manual book. It says in chapter 5 section A.2 that Anna, and team RWBY can let another person duel for them, if they all agree to the decision. After that, duelist can duel the Grim under same win and lose conditions." Zack explained, as he took out the book out of no-where.
"There's a hand book for darkness barriers?" Eddie thought
Upon hearing this, team RWBY realized there was now a third option. They could have Zack step in, and have him duel. But they were quite unsure if Zack was up for the challenge. Usually, most of his actions have been questionable, not in a bad way, just questionable. Ruby and Weiss remember the bandit moment, where Zack tried to save them, but failed to keep them comfortable in the process. Blake almost killed him because of the way he carried Ruby and Weiss, and Yang nearly demolished him because he accidently yanked her hair. But what choice did they have. It was go with the glass-canon Anna, or whatever Zack was made out of.
"You girls having doubts?" Anna asked.
Team RWBY then turned their attention towards Anna, who was being supported by Zack.
"Don't worry. Zack will take care of this. After all, I trust him." Anna said.
Team RWBY realized that Anna has known Zack for a longer time than they had. They all then came to an agreement to let Zack duel in Anna's place.
"Alright Zackery. We will let you duel, but you better make sure you get a victory." Weiss said staring at him.
"We're counting on you, but no pressure or anything." Blake said, with a calm expression.
"As much as I would want to fight, guess I have no choice but pass the baton. You better be good at this duel monsters game." Yang said smiling at him.
"That right Zack, just win…with…your…deck." Ruby said as she then realized something.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Ruby squealed with excitement, surprising your teammates.
"What's wrong Ruby?" Yang asked.
"I JUST REMEMBERED THAT ZACK USES A DECK FULL OF SUPERHEROES! NOW WE GET SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO!" Ruby squealed.
"Guess this match is going to be powered up." Yang said while grinning.
"Don't ruin my moment please." Ruby said with a deadpanned tone.
Weiss and Blake had blank expressions on their faces.
"A deck of superheroes? I'm starting to have my doubts now." Weiss said.
"Is he really our final hope?" Blake asked.
"Hey. How long are going to keep me waiting? So you dueling or not kid?" Eddie asked.
Zack then put Anna down, as he then turned towards the Grim. He did not speak, but only acted. He then reached down and grabbed his deck holder as he spun it in the air. He then smiled as then used his other hand to throw his D-Tablet in the sky. He then placed his deck on his wrist, connecting it with the Tablet that fell.
"Let me say this to start. I am fairly strong. Also, get ready get beaten." Zack said as he then ready himself.
"Let me say this then. I don't care." Eddie said as he got in his dueling stance.
Anna and team RWBY moved to the sidelines to watch the duel unfold. Ruby was especially excited to watch Zack use his hero deck. Anna just smiled at her friend. The duel disks then glowed as they then signal the start.
"DUEL!" Both players yelled.
Turn 1: Eddie Terror
Zackery Aegis: 4000LP vs Eddie Terror: 4000LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 5 vs Eddie Terror Hand: 5
"I'll make the first move. I play the continuous spell card Soul Absorption from my hand. Now whenever a card is removed from the game, I gain 500 life points." Eddie stated as he then played his card.
Soul Absorption
Spell Card: Continuous
Soul Absorption then appeared on the field as it showed several spirits of monsters being absorbed by a demonic creature.
"What does removed from play mean?" Ruby asked.
"It means when the card doesn't exist on the battle board. Cards remove from play are taken out of the game, as if they are in another dimension. You could say they traveled somewhere else." Anna explained.
"So in other words, they're transported somewhere else." Weiss said.
Eddie Terror then prepared to make a move that would make the duel favor him.
"Next I play the spell card Pot of Desires! By banishing the top ten cards of my deck, I can draw two cards!" Eddie Terror declared.
Pot of Desires
Spell Card: Normal
A pot then appear on Eddie's side of the field. It appeared to have two faces. Team RWBY recognized the first face of the pot of greed, while the second face was purple as it had a smug look on its face, jewelry for teeth and stuck out its tongue. The purple side of the pot then open its mouth as it then began sucking in the air surrounding it. The top ten cards from Eddie's deck then began flying towards the jar, as the jar sucked then up. The pot then turned it around revealing the pot of greed face, as the top of the jar had two hands come out, and each of them held a card. Eddie then proceeded to draw two cards from his deck.
"And don't forget. Soul absorption gives me 500 life points every time a card is banished! Ten cards were removed from play. So I gain 5000 life points!" Eddie yelled, as he smiled sinisterly.
Soul absorption then had 10 souls fly out of it as then proceeded to enter Eddie as he laughed manically, as felt a surge of energy coursing through him.
Eddie Terror: 4000LP + (500x10) LP = 9000LP!
"9000 THOUSAND LIFE POINTS! THAT HAS TO BE ILLEGAL!" Weiss yelled.
"Apparently, it is legal. Your life points can go as high as they can." Anna explained.
"Look on the bright side. That Terror guy lost 10 cards already, and Zack has a full arsenal of cards." Yang said, trying to brighten things up.
"Oh really. Then perhaps I need to call a friend to give me a refill. I now summon Dark Necroface in attack mode!" Eddie yelled as he played his card.
Dark Necroface
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Dark]
[Zombie/Effect]
ATK: 1200 DEF: 1800
Dark Necroface then appeared on Eddie's field. It was just a baby doll face. Until it started sprouting pink tentacles from underneath. Its left eye then fell out, as a massive amount of a pink substance burst from underneath. It also had a purple eye that just stared at Zack. The appearance of this monster sent chills down Anna and RWBY's spines.
"That monster is quite creepy. It's even labeled as a zombie, which makes it scarier." Anna said.
"I don't think that thing will be winning any beauty contests." Blake said, a little disgusted by its appearance.
"I play the effect of Dark Necroface. When summoned to my field, I can return all banish cards to their respective decks." Eddie declared.
Dark Necroface tentacles then started extending outward as it teared upon a rift in the different dimension, grabbing cards one by one and sending them back to the deck. Another thing that everyone noticed is that it got bigger by the second.
"Is it just me, or is that thing getting bigger." Ruby said, as she saw the monster grew in size.
"As much as I hate to say it, you're not the only one." Weiss said, looking at the monster.
"For every card that was returned to the deck, Dark Necroface gains 100 attack points. Ten cards returned to the deck, meaning Necroface gains 1000 attack points!"
Dark Necroface: 1200ATK + 1000ATK = 2200ATK
"First he gets a life point advantage of 9000, regains his deck, and now he has a monster with 2200 attack points already!" Ruby said.
"This Grim is overpowering Zack, and it's only his first turn. I have to admit that he is resourceful with his cards." Weiss said.
"This guy is going give Zack a run for his money, or deck." Yang said, now worried.
"Also, that monster is looking at us with that face." Blake said, still disgusted by it.
Zack only smiled at this. He actually didn't looked fazed at all. It was more than that. He actually looked happy he did it.
"So you're going to start with a life point bonus huh. Very well, challenge accepted. By the end of this duel, all of those life points will be gone. My dad once said this: any mountain can be conquered, and the highest ones just need more work." Zack said pointing his right hand into the air.
"Hmph. Well let's see if you got the bite, to back up your bark. I play one card facedown, and end my turn." Eddie stated, as he placed his face-down.
Turn 2: Zackery Aegis
Zackery Aegis: 4000LP vs Eddie Terror: 9000LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 5 vs Eddie Terror: 3
"My move now. I draw!" Zack yelled as he drew his card.
Upon seeing the card he drew and the cards he had in his hand. His face then formed an aggressive smile.
"What's with the face?" Eddie asked.
"Heh. What have in my hand here will show you the true strength of my deck! I play the spell card Polymerization!" Zack yelled.
Polymerization
Spell Card: Normal
Polymerization showed an orange imp monster and an orange dragon with each with black eyes, and they seem to be in some blue and purple swirl.
"Polymer-what?" Yang asked, in confusion of the name.
"That's a scientific term, to describe the direction of light, magnetism, or radiation." Weiss said.
"But what does it do?" Ruby asked.
"I think we're about to find out." Blake said, curious about the card.
"I can now send fusion material monsters from my hand or field, to summon a Fusion Monster! I'm going to fuse Elemental Hero Clayman, with Elemental Hero Sparkman from my hand! Alright guys, time to bring the thunder!" Zack yelled, sending his cards to the graveyard.
Elemental Hero Clayman
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Earth]
[Warrior]
ATK: 800 DEF: 2000
Elemental Hero Sparkman
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Light]
[Warrior]
ATK: 1600 DEF: 1400
Both Clayman and Sparkman then appeared on the field. Elemental Hero Clayman, had his entire body was made out of clay. Most of his body was bulky as it was gray in most areas and light grey on the far end parts. He also wore a red helmet with blue eye slits. Sparkman wore a blue suit, with golden armor on his chest and arms. He was also studded with orange orbs that seem to be in the armor. He also had two blade like items attached to his back. Ruby and Yang smiled at the monster, as it reminded them of the superhero cartoons they watch. Weiss wasn't normally interested in superheroes, but she was slightly impressed with their design, Blake just thought they were okay. What they were about to see next would highly impress them. A swirl of blue light then appeared behind Sparkman and Clayman. The two heroes looked at each other and nodded, as their bodies started to distort into a swirl, as they then entered the blue vortex. A white light then flashed from the vortex.
"Now watch as the Hero of Lightning and Hero of Clay combine their might together, to show their true form!" Zack chanted.
"I FUSION SUMMON! Presenting, the one and only, Elemental Hero Thunder Giant!" Zack said extending his arm outward.
Elemental Hero Thunder Giant
[LV: 6] [Attribute: Light]
[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]
ATK: 2400 DEF: 1500
In the place of the two heroes, stood a giant hero of thunder. The lower part of its legs were equipped with yellow armor parts with white parts in the front. He also had purple pants with white lines as well. What was most impressive was his upper body which was extremely massive. There was a blue electric core in the middle of his chest, as white lines extended all over his body, in a symmetrical pattern. His arms were equipped with shock gauntlets, as they had sharp tips on each finger, and a blue electric palms in the center. He also wore shoulder pads, that had horns on each of them, and he wore a helmet, that had a visor that extended from his eyes to the back of his fore head. On his back were several fins blades. Weiss, Blake and Yang just stared in awe of what just happened. They have seen XYZ and Synchro, but his was highly impressive. Ruby on the other hand was almost fainted if it weren't for Yang.
"THAT IS SO COOL! THE TWO HEROES TURNED INTO ANOTHER POWERFUL HERO!" Ruby yelled looking at the Thunder giant.
"Now that's what I call putting your heads together." Yang said.
"All of the extra deck summoning methods combine monsters, but fusion sounds more suitable for the word." Blake said.
"I'll admit that Zack's summoning was interesting. You mind telling us what fusion summoning is Anna?" Weiss said, curious about fusion summoning
"I'll be happy to." Anna said, as somehow pulled out the same chalk board out of no-where.
"How do they do that?" Weiss asked, puzzled by the chalk board again.
"I have no idea." Blake said, as she shrugged.
Anna then began her explanation of fusion summoning.
"You see, unlike like most extra deck summoning methods, some fusion monsters require specific monster to summon it. Thunder Giant requires Clayman and Sparkman. Even if you do get the required monsters to summon it, you need to use a certain card affect to summon it. The main card that is used for these summoning methods is mostly polymerization, but there are other ways to fusion summon. The upside of fusion summoning is that some fusion methods can use monsters from you hand, field, banish or graveyard, allowing you to have access to your monsters at any time. Fusion summoning represents the." Anna said.
"So while fusion summoning is harder than synchro and XYZ, it gives players access to monsters he or she needs." Blake said, awed about fusion summoning.
"Correct. The Elemental Heroes in their standard forms aren't much, but when you fuse them together…" Anna was about say, until interrupted by Ruby.
"YOU CAN CREATE AWESOME FUSION HEROES! THE ELEMENTAL HERO DECK IS THE BEST!" Ruby yelled.
"You really need to calm down sis." Yang said to her sister.
Back to the duel. Eddie was surprised at the fact Zack fusion summoned, but quickly regain his composure.
"While that fusion summon did throw me off guard, and it is stronger than my monster, a measly 200 is nothing." Eddie said, considering he had more life points.
"Did I ever say anything about attacking your Necroface?" Zack replied with a smirk.
"Huh?" Eddie said.
"Elemental Hero fusion monsters have unique and devastating abilities, and here's Thunder Giant's! By sending one card from my hand to the graveyard, I can destroy one monster on the field, whose original attack points are lower than Thunder Giant's. Necroface's original attack was 1200, and Thunder Giant's attack points are 2400. In short, by sending this card from my hand to grave, you can kiss your monster goodbye! Vapor Spark!" Zack declared, discarding a card in the process.
Thunder Giant then generated an electric energy ball in his palms, and then fired a burst of lighting at Necroface, as it was instantly destroyed. Eddie covered himself from the explosion, and then saw himself looking at the Thunder Giant that towered over him.
"Don't forget. My Thunder Giant can still attack! Volitc Thunder!" Zack declared.
Thunder Giant then raised his right arm as he then sent current of electricity at Eddie, as he step back in pain.
Eddie LP: 9000LP – 2400LP = 6600LP
"That is an amazing monster. He wipes out the defenses using his ability, and then attacks with his strength. So this is the power of the Elemental Heroes." Blake said, as she was in awe.
"I want a hero deck now!" Ruby screamed.
"I guess these heroes are more versatile than I thought." Weiss said, being slightly impressed.
"I guess Eddie had, a shocking experience. Eh. Guys?" Yang punned.
Everyone, but Zack, groaned at it.
"Nice one Yang. Now, I'll play one card face-down, and call it a turn." Zack said ending his turn.
Turn 3: Eddie Terror
Zackery Aegis: 4000LP vs Eddie Terror: 6600LP
Zackery Aegis Hand 2: vs Eddie Terror Hand: 3
"A minor setback. I draw! I summon Edge Imp Saw from my hand!" Eddie Terror declared.
Edge Imp Saw
[LV: 3] [Attribute Dark]
[Fiend/Effect]
ATK: 500 DEF: 1000
The Edge Imp Saw was a buzz saw that had the teeth of the blade glow green, with its flat side facing forward. It also had six band saws that are placed vertically in between. It also had two red angry eyes that glowed.
"Yeesh. Where did he get that? The daily evil appliance store?" Yang said, trying to make a joke.
"Enough with the jokes Yang." Weiss said, in a deadpanned tone.
"Still, that monster gives off a bad vibe for me." Blake said, being a little concerned about it.
"Don't worry Blake. Zack's Thunder Giant won't be put down that easy. He's a super hero." Ruby said smiling.
"This isn't a Saturday cartoon Ruby. This is duel monsters. And what I learned so far, anything can happen." Weiss said.
"Edge imp. Where have I heard that name before?" Anna asked herself.
"I activate Edge Imp's ability! By discarding one Fluffal monster from my hand to the graveyard, I can draw two cards. I send Fluffal Bear from my hand to the graveyard, to draw two cards from my deck. Then I select one card from my hand, and place it on the top or bottom of my deck. I take this card, and put it on top." Eddie said, as he did his explained actions.
"Fluffal? I feel like I know that type of card, but I can't seem to get it out." Anna said as she thought.
"Hehehehehe." Eddie slowly chuckled.
"What's so funny?" Zack asked.
"Nothing special. You're just about to find your doom." Eddie said.
"You mean I can finally buy the new DOOM game for a lower and affordable price that is stock!" Zack said with a surprised look.
"NO YOU IDIOT! I MEANT DEATH, DESTRUCTION. ARE YOU THAT DENSE!?" Eddie yelled in anger.
"Hmmm. I have to figure out a way how to buy the new hero cards, and the new DOOM game. I should probably start asking for more chores and saving my money." Zack said, as he took out a notebook, jotting down notes.
"HEY! FOCUS ON THE DUEL KID!" Eddie yelled, annoyed with this kid.
"Huh? Oh yeah, I have duel first. Now what were you saying again?" Zack asked, with a casual look on his face.
Team RWBY just stared at him with blank expressions, while Anna just giggle at her friend's personality.
"Zack sure is a, unique guy." Blake said.
"He makes Jaune look like he became a world class Huntsmen." Weiss said.
"Is it weird that he the one who's going to save us from this Grim?" Yang asked, as RWB nodded in agreement.
"At least he has a cool deck." Ruby said, trying to defend Zack.
"I can't believe I have to duel this moron. Anyway, besides that, let's just say that my next move, is going to give you a scare." Eddie said, smiling sinisterly.
Anna was still thinking of where she heard the names Edge Imp and Fluffal. Even though she couldn't remember, she felt scared just thinking about it. Two words did came to mind: Fright and Fur. She had no idea what they meant.
"I now play the spell card Dark Fusion! Now I can send fusion material from my field or hand to the graveyard, to fusion summon a Fiend type Fusion monster." Eddie said, sinisterly.
Dark Fusion
Spell Card: Normal
Dark Fusion showed Elemental Hero Avian and Burstinatrix being enveloped in yellow light, as a winged female humanoid figure stood behind them, and it look like it had claws.
"Wait. Why are Hero monsters on a card that has Dark in its name?" Ruby said, shock of seeing the cards."
"Dark Fusion was originally created to fuse Elemental Heroes together to create their dark fusion counterparts. Evil Heroes. Evil Heroes are stronger than Elemental Heroes. However, Dark Fusion can also be used to summon fiend type fusion monsters." Anna explained.
"Taking Heroes and turning them into villains! That's a horrible card!" Ruby said, dreading what Evil Heroes were capable of.
"Even the greatest of heroes can succumb to darkness." Blake said, with a serious look on her face.
"That was kind of dark Blake." Yang said.
"It doesn't look like Eddie is using a Hero deck like Zack. What could he be fusing then?" Weiss said, with her hand on her chin.
"I'm taking my Fluffal Leo on my hand, and fusing it with my Edge Imp Saw that's on my field!" Eddie said.
"Wait. Fluffal, Edge Imp, and Fusion! It has to be!" Anna yelled in horror.
"Something wrong Anna?" Ruby asked.
"I just realize what the deck is." Anna said, trembling with fear.
Team RWBY were getting a little scared themselves, to see Anna all worked up about the deck.
Fluffal Leo
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Earth]
[Fairy/Effect]
ATK: 1600 DEF: 1200
Fluffal Leo then appeared on Eddie's field. The monster was appeared to be a cute stuff toy lion, with two black beaded eyes, bandages on its legs and tiny little wings on its back. It was really adorable to Ruby and Weiss.
"IT'S SO CUTE!" Ruby and Weiss squealed as their eyes turned into hearts.
"For a Grim, he sure does have cute monsters." Yang said.
"I wouldn't get attach if I were you." Anna said, with a terrified look on her face.
"Didn't he say something about a Fiend Fusion monster?" Blake said, as she did admit the monster was cute, but was more prepared then her teammates.
The Edge Imp Saw and the Fluffal then started ascending into the air, as their bodies became distorted in a swirl of dark light.
"Steel blades possessed by demons. Become one with the fanged beast, and show us a nightmarish form and horrifying power! I FUSION SUMMON! Come forth King of the hundred beasts that tears everything to pieces! Frightfur Leo!" Eddie chanted.
Frightfur Leo
[LV: 7] [Attribute: Dark]
[Fiend/Fusion/Effect]
ATK: 2400 DEF: 2000
The Fluffal Leo then reappeared on the field. Its body then began to shake as it if something was moving inside. Suddenly, its cute fluffy paws were ripped opened, revealing three red sharp jagged claws, on its arms. The back then ripped open showing a yellow buzz saw separating both sides of the body, but holding it together at the same time. Its face then started to expand, as it teared itself open to reveal a nightmarish lion face, with a yellow buzz saw placed between the back and front of the head, and seven white glowing blades attached in a symmetrical pattern. It had two red eyes with dark black pupils, a black nose and red sharp teeth. It then gave out an evil laugh as the monster finally assumed its combined form. At that moment, Ruby and Weiss' hearts were broken as they saw the cute lion, become a nightmarish monster.
"THAT GRIM TURNED A CUTE ADORABLE LION INTO A MONSTER!" Ruby cried as she held Weiss.
"WHAT KIND OF SICK DECK IS THAT!? AND DON'T TOUCH ME RUBY!" Weiss screamed as she just kept holding onto Ruby.
"That's a Frightfur fusion deck. It takes cute little stuff toy animals, and demon possessed cutting appliances, mashing them together, to create nightmarish animals from a Five Night's at Freddie's game." Anna said, as her voiced quivered a little.
"I don't know what that game is, but I do know that is a game that I do not want to play. Who in the world created this deck! What were they trying to do? Scare little kids to death." Yang said, as she tried comforting Weiss and Ruby.
"I think it was directed for people interested in the horror genre." Anna said, still a little terrified of it.
"Well, whoever made it sure did do good job of it. But it's sick! Turning animals into monsters! I can't accept the cruel animal mutations, even if it is a card game, or stuff animals!" Blake said, as she was horrified and angered by the summoning.
Zack was the only one unfazed by this. He actually like the monster. He played a whole bunch of horror games before, so he was used to seeing this.
"Heh. Now this getting interesting. It's been a while since I had a fusion vs fusion duel. Although, I don't remember the last time it happen, it's still going be awesome!" Zack said as he did a fist pump with his right hand.
"You won't be thinking that for long once I activate my Leo's ability. Once per turn, by giving up Leo's right to do a direct attack on your life points, I can target one monster on your field, destroy it and you take damage equal to its attack points!" Eddie declared.
"Thunder Giant has 2400 attack points. So if it's destroyed by this effect…" Ruby said, as Blake finished her sentence.
"Zack will take 2400 points of damage." Blake said in fear.
"Also, thanks to Dark Fusion, the monster summoned by it is cannot be targeted by monster, spell, or trap effects. Frightfur Leo! Use your ability to destroy Elemental Hero Thunder Giant! Buzz Mayhem!" Eddie Declared pointing at Thunder Giant.
Frightfur Leo then laughed maniacally as the seven blades on his head started rotating at an intense speed. Energy saws then flew out of the seven saws as then spin with deadly speed and force, threatening to slice Thunder Giant in halve. Zack then decided to play his face-down.
"I play my face-down. The Quick-play spell card De-Fusion! De-Fusion lets me choose one fusion on the field and send it back to the extra deck. As much as I would want to choose your Leo, I have no choice but to split apart my Thunder Giant!" Zack said, as he pointed to his Thunder Giant.
De-Fusion
Spell Card: Quick-Play
De-Fusion showed an orange humanoid monster, and a green dragon like monster being split apart. Thunder Giant's body then glowed white as he then split into two energies of light, as the saws missed their target.
"Also, as an added bonus. If the fusion monster happened to belong to me, I can summon the monsters that were used to summon it, if they are in my graveyard. So I'm bringing back both Clayman and Sparkman back to my field in defense mode. Welcome back guys!" Zack said, retrieving his two monsters.
The two energies of light then started to take shape, as Clayman and Sparkman were then formed from the light and were in defensive position on the battlefield.
"That was smart. Zack acknowledge he could use De-Fusion on his monster, rather than just his opponents. Dark-Fusion would have protected Leo from the card, so Zack was flexible with his options. Also he now has two defensive monsters protecting him. I have to admit, but he's doing okay against the Grim." Weiss said, admiring Zack's play.
"Leo ability lost its target, so damage won't be applied. This Hero deck is even more amazing than I thought!" Ruby said, smiling.
"But Eddie still has an attack with Leo, and he was only restrained from direct attacks." Blake said, taking that fact into account.
"And that kitty cat has some really sharp claws." Yang said looking at the monster.
Eddie was slightly annoyed that he couldn't do damage to Zack.
"You're life points may be safe, but your monsters are a different story. Frightfur Leo, attack and tear his Sparkman apart!" Eddie Terror yelled.
The Frightfur Leo then rushed up to Sparkman, and picked him up with his left paw. He then brutally stabbed Sparkman with his right claws and Sparkman went limp and was destroyed. Ruby covered her eyes to avoid seeing the gruesome scene.
"That was mildly disturbing." Blake said, creeped out by the lion.
"It's like watching a horror movie, and I really don't like horror movies." Yang said.
"Also, I just realized that the weakness of Zack's deck." Weiss said.
"What is it Weiss?" Ruby asked.
"Look at Clayman. It's a normal monster. A monster that doesn't have an effect. Anna told us that the Heroes relied on fusing to use their abilities to beat their opponents. So in short, if Zack doesn't fuse his heroes together, he won't be able to win." Weiss said.
"I wouldn't worry about that. This morning, Zack and I made a few adjustments to his deck." Anna said.
(Flashback)
"Hey Anna, can I ask you a favor?" Zack asked.
"Sure what is it?" Anna asked.
"I was wondering if I could put in these cards." Zack said holding several cards.
"Zack, you know that adding those cards to your deck will throw the balance of your deck off." Anna said, with a stern look.
"Anna. I just have a feeling that I need to put these cards in my deck. I swore I saw them next to my deck this morning, when I put them in my card storage." Zack said.
"Fine, but you'll only add in two of six cards, but we'll add in the main card as well, along with some supports." Anna said, as she decided to go with it.
"Deal!" Zack said, with enthusiasm, overwhelming Anna again.
(End of Flashback)
"Based on the cards he has in his deck, I'm sure he can de-claw that overgrown cat." Anna said, confidently.
"I hope your right, because that thing looks ready to pounce." Yang said.
"I'll just finish you next turn. I'll take pleasure in seeing you squirm." Eddie said, as he ended his turn.
Turn 4: Zackery Aegis
Zackery Aegis: 4000LP vs Eddie Terror: 6600LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 2 vs Eddie Terror Hand: 1
"Alright then. Here goes. I draw!" Zack said, as he looked at his cards.
"Oh. I get it now. How about a cat for a cat?" Zack said, as he picked up one of his cards.
Eddie was curious of what he said as he could only watch.
"You played your big cat, now I'll play mine. I summon Neo-Spacian Dark Panther in attack mode!" Zack declared playing his card.
Neo-Spacian Dark Panther
[LV: 3] [Attribute: Dark]
[Beast/Effect]
ATK: 1000 DEF: 500
A panther like animal then appeared on the field and looked like any normal panther, only this one wore a yellow collar, with the letters N and S, on it for Neo-Spacian. He also wore a Black cape that was red underneath. The appearance of the monster surprised team RWBY, but mostly Blake.
"What is that monster, and what's up with the name Neo-Spacian?" Weiss asked, awed by the monster.
"Neo-Spacians are superheroes from outer space. They assist the elemental heroes, although building a deck like that will take a lot of work." Anna explained.
"There are superheroes in space!?" Ruby said with excitement.
"Seven in fact, if you count the guy who is in charge of these of the Neo-Spacians." Anna said.
"Sounds like these guys are, out of this world." Yang punned, as everyone else groaned.
"I quite interested to see what this monster does. Besides, a cat as a superhero sounds interesting, and unique." Blake said, as she was more interested in the monster. She also thought he look cool.
Eddie was on guard, as duelist don't play weak cards all for nothing.
"You see here Eddie. My cat isn't your typical everyday cat, but more of a copycat. What I mean by that, is that it can copy one of your monsters, such as the Frightfur Leo that's on your field! Dark Panther, so him how it's done!" Zack said, pointing at Frightfur Leo.
Dark Panther responded by nodding his head, as his eyes then glowed red as he body started to melt into a black liquid. The black liquid then gushed up like a geyser, as it then started taking shape. The liquid then took form as Dark Panther had become Frightfur Leo. It even gave out the same laugh. Team RWBY was awed, but a little scared, by Dark Panther's trick.
"A monster with shapeshifting abilities. That is an interesting ability." Weiss said.
"He really takes the name Copycat to a whole new level." Yang said.
"It's is kind of cool." Blake said, as she secretly like this monster the most.
"The ability to become your opponent is amazing. I just wish it wasn't that monster." Ruby said, as she awed, but yet terrified, of Black Panther's new look.
Zack wasn't done yet.
"For this turn, Dark Panther name and ability are the same of the monster he copied." Zack said.
"Wait. Did you say that cat of yours can use the ability of my Leo?!" Eddie asked, shocked at what he heard.
"That's right. So even though my Leo have 1000 attack points, it can use a new trick it learn. Alright Dark Panther, use your new trick to destroy Frightfur Leo, with taste of his own medicine! Buzz Mayhem!" Zack yelled.
Black Panther in his new form responded by sending out a series of spinning saws towards the real Frightfur Leo, as the saws sliced him apart, as he then exploded or shattered. The saws then went towards Eddie as he was then hit by multiple spinning saws, as he screamed in pain.
"Don't forget. You also take damage equal to your monster's attack points!" Zack said, pointing at Eddie.
Eddie Terror: 6600LP – 2400LP = 4200LP
"Arrrrghh." Eddie growled.
"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" Zack asked.
Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Anna decided to let it slide, as it was kind of funny at the same time. Yang was snickering that Zack just punned and burned Eddie at the same time.
"Since I can't attack you directly this turn, I'll just play a card-facedown and end my turn." Zack said, as he ended his turn.
At that point, Dark panther reverted back to his original form.
Turn 5: Eddie Terror
Zackery Aegis: 4000LP vs Eddie Terror: 4200LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 1 vs Eddie Terror Hand: 1
At this point, Eddie was starting to get really annoyed with this kid. He started out with 9000LP, and now here he was, almost back to 4000LP, in just two turns. What made things worse was if it weren't for his life point bonus, he would have lost.
"That's it kid! The gloves are off! I draw!" Eddie yelled in anger.
"I summon Kuribandit to my field in attack mode!"
Kuribandit
[LV: 3] [Attribute: Dark]
[Fiend/Effect]
ATK: 1000 DEF: 700
Kuribandit was a ball shaped monster, covered in black fur. He also had an eye-patch on his left eye, and wore a yellow bandanna on his head. He also had a right blue eye, two sharp fangs, and two green claws, and feet. Despite trying to be intimidating, it wasn't really that scary.
"Heh. As if that furball could actually do some damage to Zack." Yang said, confidently.
"I agree. That monster doesn't look like much. It looks really pathetic." Weiss said, judging the monster coldly.
"It's not as awesome as the Elemental Heroes. But it is kind of cute, in a weird way." Ruby said, looking at the monster with a curious look.
"While it does look weak, I wonder what it does." Blake said.
"Girls. If there is one thing you should not do in this world it's this. Never, underestimate a monster that has Kuri- in its name." Anna said, with a grim expression.
"Why is that?" Weiss asked.
"Personal experience." Anna said, blankly.
"I activate Kuribandit's ability. By sacrificing it, he robs the top 5 cards of my deck, and takes them to the graveyard. However, if there happens to be a spell or trap card among the five cards, I can add it to my hand." Eddie explained.
Kuribandit, then ran towards Eddie, and then snatched the top 5 cards of his deck, and jumped into a black portal leading to the graveyard.
"Well. That just happened." Yang said, confused of what just happened.
"One of the cards is Frightfur Patchwork. I'll add that card to my hand." Eddie said, retrieving his card.
"Next I play the trap card, Designer Frightfur. It lets me revive one Fluffal or Edge Imp monster that is in my graveyard, and treat it as a Frightfur monster. I select Fluffal Bear." Eddie said.
Designer Frightfur
Trap Card: Normal
Fluffal Bear
[LV: 3] [Attribute: Earth]
[Fairy/Effect]
ATK: 1200 DEF: 800
Designer Frightfur showed Frightfur Leo in the center split opened, as Fluffal Leo emerged from the torn up body. A black portal then appeared in the ground, as a pink fuzzy teddy bear emerged from the ground with a red scarf and white wings. Ruby and Weiss thought the monster was cute, but remembered what happen to the lion.
"He's going to turn that fuzzy teddy bear into a monster!" Ruby cried, dreading the monster.
"We don't know that yet. Eddie doesn't have any fusion cards in his hand, and one of them is a spell card." Weiss said, trying to remain calm.
Eddie then grinned viciously.
"I now play the spell card, Frightfur Patchwork, this card lets me add one card with Edge imp and a polymerization spell card from my deck to my hand. So I'll add Edge Imp Sabres and Polymerization to my hand."
"Did he just say Edge Imp and Polymer- whatever it is to his hand?" Yang asked, hoping she was wrong.
"I believe so." Blake said, readying herself.
Frightfur Patchwork
Spell Card: Normal
Frightfur Patchwork showed a monstrous abomination of a several fluffal monsters sewed together, with the two evil red eyes in its mouth of sharp teeth. It appeared to be on a work bench, which had a saw, needles and a spike press in the background. There was also a scissor monster in the background. Eddie's deck then pushed out two cards from his deck, revealing them to be Polymerization and Edge Imp Sabres.
"I now play the spell card Polymerization! I now fuse Edge Imp Sabres with Fluffal Bear!" Eddie declared.
Edge Imp Sabres
[LV: 3] [Attribute: Dark]
[Fiend/Effect]
ATK: 1200 DEF: 800
Edge Imp Sabres was a monster of multiple scissors pinned together as the blades glow white. It also had two red glowing eyes. Fluffal Bear and Edge Imp Scissors then started to be lifted into the air as their bodies turned into a bright light, as they merged together.
"Claws of the demon! Fangs of the beast! Become one and reveal your new ghastly form, and tremendous strength!" Eddie chanted.
"Not again." Anna said, terrified.
"I FUSION SUMMON! Appear, horrifying beast that sherds everything! Frightfur Bear!" Eddie declared, placing his violet card on the disk.
Frightfur Bear
[LV: 6] [Attribute: Dark]
[Fiend/Fusion/Effect]
ATK: 2200 DEF: 1800
The Fluffal Bear then reappeared on the field. It arms then started to move, as it arm burst open to show a larger paw, as it extended showing it was attached to a scissor blade, while the other was in the body. Its stomach was then pierced by another scissor as it then opened up. Its head was separated into two parts. The top part had googly eyes, and the top and bottom had sharp teeth. It also had two glowing evil red eyes in its mouth. Team RWBY was more prepared this time, but were still more terrified.
"I wonder if this deck was actually made to catch duelists off guard, with the cuteness of the Fluffals, and then surprise them with the horror of the Frightfurs." Blake said, as she was a little on edge.
"Well, whoever made it must have a crazy mind!" Ruby said, holding dearly to Weiss.
"I said don't touch me." Weiss said, as she only hugged tighter.
"Note to self: never stick cutting tools into stuff animals." Yang said, trying to lighten the mood.
"This is bad. Frightfur Bear has higher attack points than Dark Panther. In other words, Zack is about to lose his monster, and his life points will take a hit." Anna said, worried.
Eddie only smiled, as that was not the only thing that would be happening.
"I'm going make you regret for opposing and making a fool out of me. Frightfur Bear! Attack his Neo-Spacian Dark Panther! Bear Hammer!" Eddie yelled.
Frightfur Bear responded as he then lashed out his right arm, as it then smashed into Dark Panther sending him flying back, as screamed in pain as a cat would, as he then hit the ground with a thud. Blake cringed at a cat like monster getting hit like that. It was about to get worse.
Zackery Aegis: 4000LP – 1200LP = 2800LP
"Since Frightfur Bear destroyed a monster by battle and sent it to the graveyard, I can take that monster as an equip spell card for Frightfur bear, and he gains 1000 attack points. Frightfur Bear, consume his Dark Panther!"
Frightfur bear then extended his arm and picked up the unconscious Dark Panther, and brought close to his mouth. He then dropped him into his mouth, as he literally ate him whole. Being a monster scissor bear was enough, but eating other duel monsters was extremely disturbing for team RWBY. Anna was just as scarred. Blake was even more horrified of seeing a cat getting eaten by a bear.
Frightfur Bear: 2200ATK + 1000ATK = 3200ATK
"IT ATE HIM!" Team RWBY and Anna screamed, as they had horrified looks on their faces.
"So cruel." Blake said slowly.
Normal duelist get mad at times during some matches, such as losing a good monster. Zack reacted the same, only he really looked mad.
"Why you. No one, and I mean no one, turns my monster into bear chow, and gets away with it buddy. Prepare to visit the world of hurt, at side tourist locations of pain and POW." Zack angrily said, as he put his right foot forward, and clenched his right hand.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot how you humans are so attached to your cards in this world." Eddie mocked.
"Well you should be, because you triggered my face-down, and one my favorites. Go, Hero Signal!" Zack said extending his arm upward.
Hero Signal
Trap Card: Normal
The Hero Signal card showed several tall buildings in the night. One of the buildings was projecting a spotlight in the sky with a Heroic letter H. The card then shot out a ray of light into the sky, as it showed an H in the sky.
"Allow me to explain. When you destroy one of my monsters in battle, Hero Signal can summon any Level 4 or below Elemental Hero monster from my deck, and I know just the card to crank up the heat. I summon Elemental Hero Burstinatrix!" Zack declared grabbing his card.
Elemental Hero Burstinatrix
[LV: 3] [Attribute: Fire]
[Warrior]
ATK: 1200 DEF: 800
Burstinatrix female superhero, who wore a red suit, which cover her entire body, had blue skin, and really long black hair that was white at the hand. Her head was covered by a yellow triangular crown. This instantly became one of Yang's favorite Elemental Hero.
"Now that is what I call a hot gal. But not as hot as me." Yang said, admiring Burstinatrix.
"She looks even cooler when she is on the field." Ruby said, with excitement.
Blake and Weiss just admit it was a good card, with nice artwork.
"Look here Eddie. You try to hurt Anna, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang, and now you take one of my monsters and turned him into bear chow. I never thought getting this angry would clear my mind. Every card in my deck telling me to defeat you!" Zack yelled.
"That's the spirit Zack! Show that monster whose boss!" Yang yelled.
"Our lives may be in your hands, but their decent hands, so use them!" Weiss yelled.
"Use another Hero!" Ruby screamed.
"Avenge your Dark Panther!" Blake yelled.
"You're doing well Zack. Keep it up." Anna yelled, holding her thumb up.
"I doubt it. Soon all your monsters will be consume by Frightfur Bear, and he'll just get stronger. I'll end my turn now."
Turn 6: Zackery Aegis
Zackery Aegis: 2800LP vs Eddie Terror: 4200LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 1 vs Eddie Terror Hand: 1
"My move now. I draw." Zack said as he drew his card.
"I now play the spell card Pot of Greed. I can now draw two more cards from my deck." Zack said.
Pot of Greed
Spell Card: Normal
The same green pot then appeared on the field again, and disappeared as Zack drew two new cards. Team RWBY then realized they may be seeing that card over and over. Zack looked at his hand and had a plan.
"First off, I play the spell card R-Righteous Justice! Now for each Elemental Hero monster that I control, I can destroy one spell or trap card that you have on your field. I count two, so two of your spell cards are going to go out with a bang. I'm destroying your Soul Absorption, and I'm taking back my Panther!" Zack said, as he played his card.
"My effect destroys spell and traps with a Yang! Guys?" Yang punned, causing several groans.
R-Righteous Justice
Spell Card: Normal
The R-Righteous Justice card showed a yellow R as it emitted a red energy. Clayman and Burstinatrix then started to glow red as they then charged. Burstinatrix created a fire ball, and fired it at the Soul Absorption, destroying it. What Clayman did was either epic, or disgusting. Team RWBY wonder how Clayman was going to reclaim Dark Panther. Clayman then rushed towards Frightfur bear, as he then forcefully opened his mouth with his hands, as he then jumped into his mouth. Clayman literally jumped into Frightfur Bear's mouth! Everyone, except Zack was shocked by this.
"EEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone, expect Zack, screamed. This included Eddie.
Frightfur Bear eyes then showed a shocked expression, as the top part of his body started shaking. Clayman then jumped out of his mouth, as he was carrying Dark Panther in his arms. Dark panther then turned into a mass of light, as he then returned to the graveyard.
Frightfur Bear: 3200ATK – 1000ATK = 2200ATK
"Dark Panther is back were belongs. Thanks Clayman. Burstinatrix, if you may?" Zack said, talking to his heroes.
Clayman put his right arm to his chest, as an acknowledgement. Burstinatrix, generated a small little flame, and began drying Clayman, who was covered in stomach acid.
"Did…your Clayman…just…" Eddie stuttered.
"Yes. Yes he did." Zack replied.
"That is just sick!" Eddie screamed.
"You're calling what Clayman did was sick?! Your monster ate my Panther!" Zack replied back.
"It's normal for an evil teddy bear to eat its victims!" Eddie argued.
"It's normal for Heroes to jump into a monster's stomach, and save the victim! Zack argued back.
"You're crazy!" Eddie yelled.
"Crazy is my middle name. No, seriously. My full name is Zackery Crazy Aegis." Zack said.
Team RWBY and Anna were dumbfounded that Zack and a Grim were having an argument, that was totally unrelated to the duel.
"Uh, does Zack know he is having an argument with a Grim?" Blake asked.
"Is he always like this?" Weiss asked, with blank eyes.
"How did you two ever become friends?" Yang asked, stunned by Zack's personality.
"His middle name is Crazy?" Ruby asked, a little shocked by it.
Anna thought for a moment.
"Yes, sometimes, that's a story for another time, and yes. I saw it on his birth certificate, when he showed it to me for proof." Anna replied cheerfully.
"I do have to admit that Clayman does have the guts to jump into that bear." Yang said, admiring his bravery.
"I have a hard time deciding if that is cool, or disgusting." Ruby said.
Team RWBY did admit that Zack had his moments, but at this point, everything he did was either ridiculously epic, or just plain unpredictable. Weird as it was, they actually saw this as a pro for Zack. Eddie, was really getting annoyed. When Burstinatrix was done drying Clayman, Zack got back on track.
"Now that your Bear has lost it lunch, I'm going to activate Fusion Substitute spell card, which is just an amped up version of Polymerization, from my hand. This time, I'm fusing Elemental Hero Burstinatrix, with Elemental Hero Clayman, so I can summon a Hero with some firepower!" Zack said, smiling.
Fusion Substitute
Spell Card: Normal
Fusion Substitute showed a Polymerization card in a vortex, with the same orange monsters, fusing together. Burstinatrix and Clayman then jumped into the air as their bodies start to distort into a swirl, as a new monster was about to appear. Ruby was really excited.
"I FUSION SUMMON! I now summon in defense mode the mighty, the hardcore, wait for it, Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster!" Zack yelled, extending his arm out.
Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster
[LV: 6] [Attribute: Earth]
[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]
ATK: 2000 DEF: 2500
Rampart Blaster then appeared out of the swirl of light. This was a female Elemental Hero, as she had the firepower of Burstinatrix and the build of Clayman. She was wearing high plated metallic gray and dark gray armor. Her shoulder pads had a handle on each of them. She also wore a red suit underneath her armor. For weaponry, she had red metallic blast shield in her left arm, and a micro-missile launcher arm cannon on her right arm. She also wore a daredevil helmet, with a red and yellow flame design, as the lower part of her face showed her light blue skin, mouth and nose. She then dropped out of the sky, positioning herself in a defensive stance, of kneeling on her right leg, and having her shield up.
"That hero looks so cool! Look at its right arm! It has an arm cannon!" Ruby squealed.
"That monster looks like a walking tank! I think she could go up against a paladin, and come out with only minor damage." Weiss said, as she was impressed by how durable the monster look.
"I really like the way how these ladies think! Attack with fire power and force!" Yang yelled, admiring the ladies of the Elemental Heroes.
"Something feels strange. Zack played his monster in defense mode. But he sounds like he's going to attack." Blake said, observing the monster.
"You guys haven't seen anything yet." Anna said to Team RWBY.
Eddie was taken back by the summoning, but quickly regained his composure.
"Looks like you're running scared, playing a monster in defense mode. I thought you were going to let me have it?" Eddie mocked.
"Oh, I will let you have it. You see, they say a good defense is a good offense, and Rampart Blaster proves that point! While in defense mode, Rampart Blaster can attack you directly with halve of her attack points!" Zack said, as Rampart raised her arm cannon.
"What!?" Eddie screamed.
"Hope you in the mood for fireworks! Rampart Blaster, attack Eddie directly with Rampart Barrage! Take aim and fire!" Zack declared.
Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster: 2000/2 = 1000ATK (For battle)
Rampart then raised her right arm, and then fired a barrage of micro-missiles in the air as they then arced over Frightfur Bear, and then exploded on contact with Eddie, and the ground surrounding him.
Eddie Terror: 4200LP – 1000LP = 3200LP
"The ability to attack and defend at the same time is so unique. These monsters could give Atlas some inspirations." Weiss said, amazed at Ramparts ability.
"It's…so beautiful." Ruby said, sniffing on a tissue.
"She's just like an immovable fortress." Blake said.
"Oh yeah! This is officially one of my other favorite Heroes!" Yang said.
"Also, since Zack's monster has higher defense points, than Eddie's monster won't make a dent, and Zack can just keep attacking directly!" Anna said.
"I'll end my turn for that. Your move buddy." Zack said, as he grinned casually.
Turn 7: Eddie Terror
Zackery Aegis: 2800LP vs Eddie Terror: 3200LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 1 vs Eddie Terror: 1
"You are really starting to tick me off kid. I draw!" Eddie yelled, annoyed with Zack.
The card he drew made him smiled wickedly.
"Let's see if you will be smiling when I play this. The Spell card Stop Defense! This card forces your monster into attack mode!" Eddie yelled.
Stop Defense
Spell Card: Normal
Stop Defense showed an armored knight holding up a shield, and had an X over him. Rampart Blaster then started to glow blue, as she was then forcefully switched into attack mode.
"Rampart is efficient in defense mode, but she is more vulnerable in attack position." Weiss said, surprised at the card.
"Frightfur Bear! Attack his Rampart with Bear Hammer!" Eddie yelled.
Frightfur Bear then swung his right arm at an extreme force, as he then punched Rampart Blaster throwing her off the ground. She was then sent flying over to Zack, who had little time to react as he was then crushed underneath, Rampart's Weight. RWBY and Anna cringed at Zack getting crushed by Rampart's armor.
Zackery Aegis: 2800LP – 200LP = 2600LP
"Oooowwwwwww. My somehow intact bones and organs." Zack asked, in pain.
"If you think that was painful, remember that Frightfur Bear consumes all monsters that he destroys. Consume his Rampart Blaster!" Eddie said, pointing to Rampart.
Frightfur Bear then used its arm to grab Rampart Blaster and then brought her close to her mouth. He dropped her as swallow her one gulp. He let out a small burp. Yang just fainted as she was even more horrified of seeing her favorite Hero fusion get eaten, whole.
Frightfur Bear: 2200ATK + 1000ATK = 3200ATK
"NOT THE SUPERHERO!" Ruby cried as she shed comical tears.
"It's inhumane. Then again, it is monster teddy bear, but still inhumane." Blake said.
"I think I'm going to be sick." Weiss said, as her face turned green.
"I need to hurl." Anna said, as she held back her vomit.
Zack picked himself up and did a couple of stretches, and made sure he wasn't internally bleeding.
"Still have the will to fight. Very well then. I'll take pleasure in seeing you squirm. I'll end my turn." Eddie said.
Turn 8: Zackery Aegis
Zackery Aegis: 2600LP vs Eddie Terror: 3200LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 1 vs Eddie Terror Hand: 1
"Then I'll take mine. I draw!" Zack said.
"Huh. This should make things interesting. I summon my Neo-Spacian Glow Moss in attack mode!" Zack said.
"Another superhero from space!" Ruby yelled.
"Keep it down Ruby." Weiss scolded.
Neo Spacian Glow Moss
[LV: 3] [Attribute: Light]
[Plant/Effect]
ATK: 300 DEF: 900
Glow Moss then appeared as he resembled a humanoid alien that was made entirely out of glowing moss, and had two dark circles on his head for eyes.
"First a cat, now moss. What's next? A humming bird, a mole, or how about a dolphin?" Eddie mocked.
"I wish. Anna said I couldn't add those guys to my deck." Zack said scratching his head.
This caused everyone to fall down in shock.
"This guy is really starting to bug me! I'm trying so hard to break his spirit, but each time I seem to succeed, he always seems to pretend like his life isn't on the line." Eddie thought.
"I now attack Frightfur Bear with Glow Moss!" Zack yelled.
"Is Zack crazy!? Glow Moss has lower attack points than that overstuff teddy bear." Yang yelled, who regained her consciousness.
"I wouldn't worry. From what I seen, Zack's moves aren't wasted, and aren't done out of recklessness. He may not look like it, but he is quite smart, in his own way." Blake said.
"I'm not sure if smart is the right word." Weiss said, coldly.
"You don't have to be so cold Weiss." Ruby said, in a deadpanned tone.
"You're doing great Zack!" Anna cheered, waving at him.
"I activate Glow Moss' special ability. Signal Check!" Zack yelled.
Glow Moss then held up three orbs, each of a different color: yellow, blue, and pink. The orbs then cycled as they then lit up.
"Here's how it works. Whenever Glow Moss attacks or is attacked, you flip the top card of your deck and show it to me. Depending on what card it is determines Glow Moss' ability. Now what is the top card of your deck?" Zack asked, smiling.
Eddie then drew the card.
"It's a Spell Card. Soul Absorption." Eddie said, showing the card to Zack.
"Alright! Since the revealed card is a Spell Card, Glow Moss can attack you directly! Spore Spear!" Zack yelled.
Gloss Moss' blue orb then lit up. He then jumped into the air, as he then generated a spear like weapon and then hurled it at Eddie.
Eddie Terror: 3200LP – 300LP = 2900LP
"Why you." Eddie cursed.
"Relax man. On the bright side, you can add the card that was revealed to your hand." Zack said calmly.
"Interesting. A card that makes your opponent draw, but in turn gives you an ability." Blake said, studying the card.
"I wonder what happens if it revealed a trap or monster." Ruby said thinking about it.
"Still, Zack can't win by dealing 300 points of damage every turn." Weiss said.
"If he did, then this duel would probably be a snore feast." Yang said.
"I think I'll end my turn now." Zack said.
Turn 9: Eddie Terror
Zackery Aegis: 2600LP vs Eddie Terror: 2900LP
Zackery Aegis Hand 1: vs Eddie Terror Hand: 2
"My turn. I draw! First I'll play my new spell absorption, and now I attack your Glow Moss with Frightfur Bear!" Eddie said, as he was getting impatient.
"Glow Moss' ability activates now! Signal check! Now the top card of your deck is flipped!" Zack said.
Glow Moss then did his signal check as the orbs cycled between their lights. Eddie then drew his card.
"My Edge Imp Chain. A Monster card." Eddie said.
"Phew. Since the card is a monster card, Glow Moss can end the battle phase." Zack said.
Glow Moss then generated a dome of light around him and Zack, preventing Frightfur Bear from attacking.
"So monsters cards, stop the battle phase. Glow Moss is a good card, but only if you're lucky." Weiss said.
"Agreed. If the card had been a spell card, then Glow Moss ability would be wasted." Blake said.
"So what happens if it's a trap card?" Ruby asked.
"Glow Moss would have to switch to defense mode." Anna answered.
"So if he flipped a trap, Zack would of have been safe, but that bear would of just powered up. This monster is just like a game of roulette." Yang said.
"Fine. I'll place one monster in face-down defense position and one card face down to end my turn." Eddie said, as he started to remain calm.
Turn 11: Zackery Aegis
Zackery Aegis: 2600LP vs Eddie Terror: 2900LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 1 vs Eddie Terror Hand: 1
"So is this Zack's plan? Just keep using Glow Moss' ability till he wins." Ruby asked.
"If so, then that's a risky idea. Glow Moss may stall his opponent, but in the process, he'll fill his opponents hand with more cards. Also, he may get unlucky getting a bad card." Blake said.
"Zack's got this under control. Besides, he knows the cards that I gave him. He studies his decks first before dueling, so he knows exactly what to do with them, the moment, he draws them." Anna said.
"Let's just hope that Zack know what to do here. Otherwise, we're all bear chow." Yang said.
"Alright. It's show time." Zack said as he drew his card.
Upon seeing the card. Zack's face burst into a big smile.
"Hey Eddie. I think it's about time I introduce you to somebody." Zack said.
"Oh really. So where is this guy? I'm so dying to meet him." Eddie said, mockingly.
"All you have do, is take a peak in my graveyard. My Elemental Hero Necroshade!" Zack said.
Elemental Hero Necroshade
[LV: 5] [Attribute: Dark]
[Warrior/Effect]
ATK: 1600 DEF: 1800
Suddenly an Astral Image of Necroshade appeared behind Zack. Necroshade had red skin, as his center body was wrapped with skeletal armor, that resembled a rib cage, and it went all the way done to his thighs, as well as the back of his neck. He also wore gray bone like armor on his shoulders, arms, and legs, as they had red markings on them. His feet were also like a bird's feet, only backwards. His face had two red eyes and several black stripes on it. His hands also had sharp claws. Out of all the heroes, this had to be the creepiest out of the bunch. Everyone, except Anna, was shocked at this.
"That's a superhero?" Yang asked, as she was intimidated by its looks.
"He sure looks creepy. He doesn't look very heroic." Weiss said, frighten by the monster's look.
"Don't judge the guy before you get to know him." Blake said, trying to defend Necroshade.
"Yeah! Even the creepiest Superheroes deserve some spotlight!" Ruby yelled.
"Wait. How did he ended up in your graveyard? I don't remember destroying him." Eddie asked.
"It's quite simple actually. On the turn I used my Thunder Giant's ability, I discarded Necroshade for the cost." Zack explained.
"He doesn't look impressive." Eddie asked.
"You saying the ability to let me summon a high level Elemental Hero from my hand isn't impressive?" Zack asked sarcastically.
"Ok. I take it back." Eddie said.
"In other words. Necroshade's true power shows when he is in the graveyard. Zack can summon a high level Hero monster now, and I think I know which one." Anna said.
"You ready Eddie? Cause this monster is what you may call, out of this world." Zack said.
"I wonder what he's going to summon." Weiss wonder.
"Being a high level monster means it has to be powerful. This has to be good." Yang said.
"Let's just hope it's enough to turn the tides of this duel." Blake said.
"I can't wait to see it." Ruby said, wanting to see a powerful hero.
Team RWBY knew they would see a spectacular hero, but they weren't ready for who he was.
"Now, with Necroshade's ability, I can summon an Elemental Hero without sacrifice once per duel. Come forth! Hero of Space and wielder of Cosmic Energy! I summon Elemental Hero Neos!" Zack yelled.
"Even his name sounds Heroic. Wait, did he say Neos?" Ruby said in shock.
Elemental Hero Neos
[LV: 7] [Attribute: Light]
[Warrior]
ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000
The hero that appeared wore a white suit, with red lines on his body. His chest contained a blue orb, and on his back. There were also three red triangles surrounding his chest piece. His arms were equipped with shoulder blades. He had blue eyes, a yellow gem on his head, and a backwards curve sharp antenna.
"Something wrong Ruby." Anna asked.
Anna then noticed that team RWBY had gone completely silent, not out of awe, but shock and surprise. Zack takes notice of this and wonders why they look like they seen a ghost.
"Uh, are you girls okay?" Zack asked.
"It was you. It was you all along." Weiss said slowly.
"Huh?" Zack said with a blank look.
"ZACKERY!" Weiss yelled, as she then tackled Zack.
"I SHOULD OF KNOWN SOMEONE AS UNCOUTH AS YOU WOULD DO THIS TOO US!" Weiss yelled shaking Zack by the collar.
Eddie then stood in place as he just watched the seen unfold, and had a sweat drop on his head.
"What are talking about?!" Zack asked, as she tried to pull Weiss off.
"YOU WERE THE ONE WHO DID THIS TO US! YOU TURNED US TINY!" Weiss yelled.
"Eh?" Zack replied.
"DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH ME! NOW CHANGE US BACK TO NORMAL!" Weiss yelled.
Anna was confused, as she saw Blake and Yang sharing the same shocked expression. Ruby was just as shocked, but immediately went back to being star struck by the Neos' look.
"Can someone explain to me what is going on?" Anna asked.
"That card that Zack just played, Neos. He was the guy who sent us here." Blake said, still shocked.
Weiss had finally stop shaking Zack. Anna and Zack remained silent for a moment, as they were silent for a moment, with blank looks on their faces. Zack then turned his head at Neos, and the back RWBY, as he repeated the procedure for a couple more times.
"EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH!" Anna and Zack screamed.
"You mean…Neos…sent you here!?" Anna asked, as she was stunned.
"It's true. I remember this guy's face clear as day." Yang said, as she sounded serious.
"Ok. So you met Neos! THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY YOU'RE SHAKING ME WEISS!" Zack scream.
"ISN'T IT OBVIOUS!? YOU HAVE A NEOS CARD, AND THAT MEANS THAT YOU HELPED NEOS SENT US HERE, AND THEN TURNED US TINY WITHOUT HIM KNOWING AS SOME SICK JOKE!" Weiss yelled.
"No. Zack has nothing to do with this." A voice spoke.
Everyone turned their heads towards the voice, and it came from Neos. This shocked everyone. Zack had his jaw dropped, as Anna just turned white as she stared at him.
"I can assure all of you, that there is a completely logical explanation to all of this. I'll explain everything, until Zack wins this duel." Neos said.
"Oh yeah. I forgot I was dueling." Zack said with a casual look, causing everyone, except Neos, to fall down with shock.
"Very well then. Now I believe you know what to do." Neos said.
"Sure thing Neos. Oh, by the way. How come you never talk to me before when I used you in my past duels?" Zack asked.
"The duel energy is much stronger here, allowing me to communicate with you through this card. Also, I'm using a great amount of my energy to be here. Team RWBY's aura allows them to interact more freely with this world, so don't expect this to happen so much." Neos replied.
"Well whatever works for you." Zack said, as he and Neos got fired up.
"I can't wait to see what Neos can do!" Ruby said.
Eddie, was intimidated at first at the sight of Neos, but realized he was a normal monster.
"So that's what you wanted to show me? Your Neos may be strong, but my Frightfur Bear is superior to both of your monsters. So are you done yet?" Eddie said.
"Of course I'm not done yet. I know that Neos and Glow Moss can beat your monster. But if I unite them, then that's a whole different story." Zack said.
"How are you going to do that? I've been paying attention to your hand, and you don't have a fusion card in your hand." Eddie said.
"For other fusion monster, that would be the case. However, my monsters have a neat trick. Neos, Glow Moss. You guys ready?" Zack asked.
"I'm always ready." Neos replied.
"I'll do my duty." Glow Moss replied.
"Alright then! Let's go! CONTACT FUSION!" Zack yelled.
Neos and Glow Moss then jumped into the air as they then aligned themselves in a vertical position. They then began to shine brightly in a blue light as it enveloped them. Team RWBY was stunned by the spectacle, while Eddie covered his eyes.
"What is this light?!" Eddie screamed.
"It's contact fusion. You see, Neos can fuse with other neo-spacians, through Contact Fusion. So by returning Neos and Glow Moss to my deck, I can summon their fusion Counterpart!" Zack said.
"A fusion method that sends monsters to the deck. That sounds incredible." Weiss said.
"Good thing I always carry sun glasses." Yang said, as she put on her shades.
"Behold! Introducing Elemental Hero Glow Neos!" Zack yelled.
Elemental Hero Glow Neos
[LV: 7] [Attribute: Light]
[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]
ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000
The monster that appeared resembled that of Neos, only that he was entirely different. His entire body was glowing, the same color and light as Glow Moss did. He was equipped with lighter armor, with his chest plate, only covering his top section of his body. Arm guards that had shorter arm blades. Shoulder guards that were rounded, and lower legs guards. His mask covered the top portion of his head, as it revealed the lower part of his face, as it also had two horns. He also had white hair. Team RWBY was shocked at the monster as they were speechless. Ruby was grinning ear to ear, while Yang whistle.
"Now that is a shiny hero." Yang said.
"You don't have to tell me twice." Blake replied.
Zack was far from done.
"I activate Glow Neos' ability! Once per turn, I can destroy one face up card that you have on your field, and depending on what that card is, I Neos' gains a special ability. I'm going to destroy the Rampart Blaster that's in your Frightfur Bear! Go, Signal Buster, Blue Lightning!" Zack yelled.
Glow Neos then generated an Electrical Blue orb in his hand and fire it at Frightfur Bear. The orb made a hard impact with his stomach, as Frightfur Bear vomited Rampart Blaster. Rampart then fell into a black portal, sending her to the graveyard. Upon seeing a contact fusion, and a cool ability at the same time, Ruby's brain couldn't take this much excitement as she then fainted.
Frightfur Bear: 3200ATK – 1000ATK = 2200ATK
"Take it easy Zack! You're going to overload Ruby's brain if you don't slow down!" Yang said, as she woke she sister up.
"I love this deck." Ruby said, as she regained her senses.
Eddie was surprised from the explosion.
"Don't relax yet Ed. Since the card I destroyed with Neos' ability was a spell card. He can attack you directly!" Zack said pointing at him.
"What?!" Eddie yelled.
"Glow Neos! Attack Eddie directly! Lightning Spear!" Zack shouted.
Glow Neos then jumped into the air. He then generated a glowing spear in his hand, as he threw it at Eddie.
"I play my face-down! Damage diet! This card halves all damage I take this turn!" Eddie said, as he braced himself.
Damage Diet
Trap Card: Normal
Damage Diet showed a young orange haired girl, with pig tails and in overalls, gracefully dodging monkey bars with fists. The lightning spear then hit a barrier surrounding Eddie as he received half the damage.
Eddie Terror: 2900LP – (2500/2)LP = 1650LP
"I actually can't believe I'm saying this, but Zack is actually a decent duelist." Weiss said.
"Well. Looks like the Ice Queen does have a little warmth in her." Yang teased.
"Quiet you." Weiss said annoyed.
Anna however had a worried look on her face.
"Something wrong Anna?" Blake asked.
"Yeah. Zack monster has a fatal weakness." Anna said.
"Sadly, all heroes have weaknesses." Ruby said.
"That was quite mature for you Ruby." Weiss said.
"I can be mature at times too." Ruby said.
Anna then explained the weakness.
"Neos has the power to fuse with other Neo-spacians through contact fusion, by returning himself and the Neo-spacian to the deck to summon a Neos fusion monster. However, the Neos fusion monster has to return to the extra deck at the end of the turn." Anna explained
"But that'll leave Zack wide open!" Yang yelled.
"So it's basically a double edge sword. Powerful effect, but limit time." Blake said.
"Guess you didn't think that through kid." Eddie said, feeling safe.
"Don't worry guys. I got this under control. But instead of talking, why don't I just let the cards speak. I play the Equip-Spell Card Instant Neo Space!" Zack said.
Instant Neo Space
Spell Card: Equip
Below Glow Neos, a white space portal opened up. It showed on the other side a beautiful space like word, vibrant with colors.
"Thanks to my Instant Neo Space, my Glow Neos is staying put." Zack said.
"What Zack did was pretty smart. Did I just used the word 'smart' and 'Zack' in the same sentence?" Weiss said, questioning herself.
"Next I activate the effect of my Fusion Substitute in my graveyard! By banishing it, I can return my Rampart Blaster back to my deck, and draw a card." Zack said, as Fusion Substitute was removed, Rampart returned, and he drew one card.
"Don't forget, I have soul absorption on my field, and a card was removed from the game, so I gain 500 life points." Eddie said.
Eddie Terror: 1650LP + 500LP = 2150LP
"No worry. Like I said, I turn those life points to zero. I place one card facedown and end my turn." Zack said ending his turn.
Turn 12: Eddie Terror
Zackery Aegis: 2600LP vs Eddie Terror: 2150LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 0 vs Eddie Terror Hand: 1
"You have made a fool out of me for the last time boy! Draw!" Eddie said.
Upon seeing the card, he then began to laugh insanely. After all the trouble that Zack put him through, he was starting to lose it. He now finally got the card that would change the tides of the duel.
"Uh, I don't get it." Zack said looking at Eddie.
"Listen here kid. You're about to witness the ultimate monster I have in my deck!" Eddie screamed.
"Sorry I asked." Zack said.
"I now play the spell card Frightfur Fusion! By banishing fusion material from my field and graveyard, I can fusion summon a Frightfur fusion monster! I'll use the two Edge Imp Frightfuloid that were sent to my graveyard, and the Frightfur Leo that you destroyed to summon your worst nightmare." Eddie said, with a crazed look.
"Since when did you had Frightfuloids in your grave?" Zack asked.
"My Kuribandit took them, and sent them to the grave!" Eddie said.
Team RWBY realized what Anna said was true. Never underestimate anything with kuri- in its name.
"That is one pesky fuzz ball." Yang said.
Frightfur Fusion
Spell Card: Normal
Edge Imp Frightfuloid
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Dark]
[Fiend/Effect]
ATK: 1300 DEF: 1300
Frightfur Fusion showed a toy bear with bat wings, a puppet with sharp fangs and horns, and a toy dragon that were being wrapped up in orange ribbons, as they were in a swirl of light with other toys. Two Edge Imp Frightfuloids then appeared above Eddie. It was the toy version of Frankenstein as it had the head of a dog, with several parts, a baby face, with the neck of a rolled up paper, pencils jabbed into its body, a tape measure on its left side, along with three triangles, a bottle on its right side and it was all connected to a ball of yarn. Blake screeched like a cat, after seeing the dog part of the monsters. She then jumped on Anna's shoulder, causing her to lose balance.
"Sorry Anna." Blake said.
"It's fine. I was starting forget that you are part cat." Anna said, as she got up.
Frightfur Leo then appeared alongside the two monsters. Their bodies then started to distort into a mass of light as they started to fuse together.
"Unusual plaything possessed by demons! Destroy and root out the plebeians who dare oppose you! I FUSION SUMMON! Come forth and appear chimeric fusion of all toys! Frightfur Chimera!" Eddie chanted.
Frightfur Chimera
[LV: 8] [Attribute: Dark]
[Fiend/Fusion/Effect]
ATK: 2800 DEF: 2000
The ground then shook, as it then burst open revealing a monstrous creation. It wasn't as scary as the other fusions, but it was humungous. It stood on four yellow anvils for feet, and had three heads. The main body resembled a pink bear, on a mechanical joint, with some of its stuffing ripped out. It look like a normal pink teddy bear, if it didn't had two yellow horns. One head looked like a brown bean bag with sharp teeth, blue eye, two wrenches with horns, and was on an extended curved neck. The last head resembled the head of an otter, or whatever it was, but it had multiple horns sticking out of its head and was on an accordion like neck. Anna and RWBY just stood in silence at the size of the monster. It gave out a cackling laugh.
"Imagine if there was a Grim like this in Remnant." Weiss said, in fear.
"I don't want to imagine it." Blake said.
"If you think this is bad, then it's about to get a lot worse, because now that three monsters were removed from the game, I gain 1500 life points due to my Soul Absorption!
Eddie Terror: 2150LP + 1500LP = 3650LP
"His life points increased again!" Ruby said, in horror.
"I now play Suture Frightfur! I can now revive a Fluffal monster in my graveyard! I'll choose the Fluffal Owl that my Kuribandit sent to the graveyard! I'll also flip summon my Edge Imp Chain!" Eddie declared.
Fluffal Owl
[LV: 2] [Attribute: Earth]
[Fairy/Effect]
ATK: 1000 DEF: 1000
Edge Imp Chain
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Dark]
[Fiend/Effect]
ATK: 1200 DEF: 1800
A black portal then appeared on the field, as a brown and light yellowed furry owl, with glasses, emerged. The Edge Imp Chain was then revealed. It was a monster that had multiple chains connected to it and had two red circle eyes.
"I activate Fluffal Owl's special ability! By paying 500 life points, I can fusion summon a Frightfur monster, using monsters on my side of the field as fusion materials. I now fuse my Edge Imp Chain with my Fluffal Owl!" Eddie declared.
Eddie Terror: 3650LP – 500LP = 3150LP
Fluffal Owl and Edge Imp chain slowly ascended into the air, as they their bodies began to distort into a swirl.
"I FUSION SUMMON! Chain beast that binds everything! Frightfur Sheep!" Eddie chanted.
Frightfur Sheep
[LV: 5] [Attribute: Dark]
[Fiend/Fusion/Effect]
ATK: 2000 DEF: 2000
The monster that just appeared was a toy sheep with googly eyes, with chattering teeth that could grind a person. Its body resembled yellow fur, but it had two disks connected to its body by chains. Its back legs were also a chain disks. Normally team RWBY would of have been creeped out by this monster, but it made them wonder how an owl becomes a sheep.
"Did that owl just became sheep?" Ruby asked.
"I believe so." Anna replied.
"That makes no logical sense no matter how hard you think about it." Weiss said, shaking her head.
"After everything we seen in this game, I think it's safe to assume that some things won't make sense in this game." Blake said.
"Zack's in trouble. Eddie has three Frightfur monsters on his field, and they all want a piece of Zack!" Yang said, worried for Zack.
Zack had to admit that he was a little nervous, as he stepped back just a bit. Eddie had Zack hanging by the ropes. He wanted him to suffer after everything he has done.
"Frightfur Chimera, attack Elemental Hero Glow Neos!" Eddie yelled.
Frightfur Chimera responded as the bear part of the monster, pulled its body back, and then spat out a cartoonish missile at Glow Neos, which then exploded on contact. Zack shielded himself from the explosion.
Zackery Aegis: 2600LP – 300LP = 2300LP
"GLOW NEOS!" Zack yelled.
"Don't worry. You'll see him sooner than you think. Whenever my Frightfur Chimera destroys a monster in battle, I can take control of that monster with half of its attack points! Plus, for every monster I control by this effect, my Chimera gains 300 attack points." Eddie chuckled.
Zack then watched in horror as Glow Neos the reappeared on Eddie's side of the field, with the only difference was that his Glow was faint.
"That Hero doesn't belong to you!" Ruby yelled, in anger.
"Yeah! You stole it from him!" Yang yelled, as her hair flared up for a moment.
"It must be painful for Zack to have his own friend turned against him." Blake said, horrified of the ability.
"The worst part is that Eddie has three attacks." Weiss said.
"HANG IN THERE ZACK! YOU CAN DO IT!" Anna yelled, worried for Zack.
"I make you suffer from your- Wait, what's going on!?" Eddie said, seeing the Instant Neos card glowing.
"You may have taken my Glow Neos. But I'm not alone. The other effect of Instant Neo Space activates! When the monster equipped with it leaves the field at any time, I can summon Elemental Hero Neos from my hand, deck or graveyard. Return, Neos!" Zack yelled.
Elemental Hero Neos then emerged from the portal that Glow Neos was original hovering over, and then took on an offensive stance.
"With Neos by myside, your monsters won't take us down!" Zack said, as he looked at Neos, who looked backed at him.
"Let's test that theory then. Frightfur Sheep, attack his Elemental Hero Neos!" Eddie yelled.
"That sheep only has 2000 attack points. Why's he attacking with it?" Anna asked, curious of what was happening.
The sheep then swung its chain disks at Neos, but Neos evaded the attacks as he then delivered a downward strike destroying the sheep with his right fist, which then exploded.
Eddie Terror: 3150LP – 500LP = 2650LP
"Now that was a stupid move. I guess Eddie lost his mind after all the beating he has been getting." Yang said, smiling confidently.
"Wait. Something is happening." Blake said as she notices something.
A black portal then opened up, and a chain shot out of it, heading straight for Neos, as it tied up his arm. More chains then came out, as they began restraining Neos. Everyone was startled of what was happening. When they looked at the portal, Frightfur Sheep then emerged from the graveyard.
"I thought Neos destroyed that sheep! Why is it back!?" Ruby said, scarred of what it was doing to Neos.
"Whenever Frightfur Sheep is destroyed in combat, or from an effect from my opponent, I can bring it back with 800 extra attack points once per turn. Now let's try this again. Frightfur Sheep! Turn his space man into sawdust!" Eddie yelled.
Frightfur Sheep: 2000ATK + 800ATK = 2800ATK
Frightfur Sheep then used its chains to bring Neos closer to it, as he failed to break out the chains. When Neos was close enough, Frightfur Sheep then used its two spinning blades, and swung them horizontally at Neos, destroying him.
Zackery Aegis: 2300LP – 300LP = 2000LP
"NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOT NEOS!" Ruby yelled, horrified seeing Neos destroyed.
"Zack doesn't have any monsters left to protect him. He's wide open!" Weiss said.
"Plus, he didn't used that facedown to protect his monster, so it probably can't negate his attacks." Blake said, analyzing Zack's field.
"No way. We're going to die if he loses." Yang said in disbelief.
"Come on Zack. You manage to get this far. Please be alright." Anna thought, praying for Zack's safety.
"Your face-down has been quite idle. I guess it doesn't do much. Get ready boy, because this next attack is going to be the last thing you'll ever see! Frightfur Bear! Attack him directly with Bear Hammer!" Eddie yelled.
Frightfur Bear then swung his right arm at Zack. RWBY and Anna just watched in silence as the arm was getting closer to Zack. Eddie thought Zack's facedown was a dud. The only reason why it hasn't activated, because the conditions weren't fulfilled, and Zack saved it for this occasion.
"Neos may be gone, but his spirit is always with me! I play my face-down trap card! Hero Spirit!" Zack yelled.
Hero Spirit
Trap Card: Normal
Hero Spirit showed a red armored warrior standing onto of a rock pillar, as the sun rose behind him. There were also several barbaric monsters from below, gazing at the hero. Suddenly, an astral image of Neos then appeared as he then got in front of Zack and then raised his arms in the form of a cross, and blocked Frightfur Bear's attack.
"What's going on here!?" Eddie said, surprise at Neos reappearance.
"My Hero Spirit trap card can only be activated if an Elemental Hero was destroyed in battle this turn. With it, I can change all the battle damage done by one monster on your field for this turn to zero." Zack said.
"I still have one more attack. It won't finish you, but now you will feel the wrath of your own monster's strength! Glow Neos, attack your master directly!" Eddie said.
Glow Neos, then jumped into the air. He then generated a Lightning spear, as he then hurled it at Zack, piercing him.
"AAAGGGGGGAAAAAHHH" Zack yelled, as this was the most damage he has taken during this duel.
Zackery Aegis: 2000LP – 1250LP = 750LP
Team RWBY and Anna were glad that Zack survived, but now they were worried if Zack could win. His situation was worse than Anna's, as she had cards on her field and some cards in hand, but Zack had nothing. No cards in hand, no monsters, and no traps.
"Shame I couldn't defeat you this turn. You only delay the inevitable. I'll end my turn. So now make your move, if you have one." Eddie said, mocking Zack.
Glow Neos' effect then activated, as he then returned to Zack's extra deck.
It was hard for Anna to watch her friend struggle as she could see he was desperately trying to think of something. Team RWBY knew Zack wouldn't give in, but didn't know if he could fight back.
"Zack." Anna said softly.
"Zack can't lose now. Not after all he has done." Ruby said.
"Losing Neos must have hurt his morale. He's alone on the field." Weiss said.
"I'm sure he'll pull through. He did take a beating from me, and survive." Yang said, trying to encourage everyone.
"I don't know Yang? A duel and a beating from you are completely different, when it comes to surviving." Blake said
Turn 13: Zackery Aegis
Zackery Aegis: 750LP vs Eddie Terror: 2650LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 0 vs Eddie Terror Hand: 0
Zack got up, as he supported himself with his legs. He was silent for a moment.
"Look kid, winning at this point is impossible, so I suggest you take your turn, and at least go out quietly." Eddie said.
Zack remained silent. He then gave out a chuckle.
"Heh. You know what? Winning at this point is impossible." Zack said.
"What are you saying Zack!? Are you giving up on us!?" Weiss yelled, shocked at what Zack said.
"And you call yourself a true friend to Anna." Blake said revolted with what Zack said.
"I knew you would eventually see it." Eddie said.
"However, the word impossible is nothing more than just a wall you need to knock down." Zack said.
"As if you can defeat me. You have no cards in your hands, and one card isn't enough to save you." Eddie argued.
"Do you know what I think about the word impossible?" Zack asked.
Everyone then noticed Zack expression. While he usually had his normal grin and smirk, he looked dead serious.
"The word impossible, is just nothing more than a challenge, a challenge that I can overcome, a challenge of making the impossible the possible. Making the illogical the logical, and redefining reality itself. Those are the words that I live by every single day of my life." Zack said.
Team RWBY were stunned by Zack's words. Some of it sounded crazy and insane, but yet was inspiring in its own way, somehow.
"Did Zack just say something inspiring?" Weiss said, trying to comprehend what Zack said.
"I don't know about you, but Zack looks and sounds like a completely different person." Ruby said.
"You're all talk! You can't possibly beat me at this point! I got three monsters that will shred you into pieces!" Eddie said.
(Play Impossible Victory)
"Well fare warning. This deck of mine is telling me to defeat you with all my might! So get set to get decked! I DRAW!" Zack yelled.
A gust of wind then blew around the area from where Zack was standing. It was only a draw, but everyone felt the massive pressure that Zack was giving off. Zack then looked at his card, and then smiled.
"I special summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman from my hand in attack mode!" Zack declared.
Elemental Hero Bubbleman
[LV: 4] [Attribute Water]
[Warrior/Effect]
ATK: 800 DEF: 1200
Bubbleman wore a blue suit, along with chest armor, which seemed to house his water core. He wore a helmet that had to horns on his head and two eye slits. His main weapon was his bubble shooter that was attached to two canister attached to his back. He also wore light blue boots and gloves.
"Wait. There is a superhero that fights with bubbles? That sounds kind of weird." Weiss said confused about this hero.
"A super power based around bubbles sounds okay to me." Ruby said.
"Did Zack say special summon?" Blake asked.
"Still not as good as Burstinatrix." Yang said.
"If Bubbleman is the only card in my hand, I can automatically special summon him." Zack said.
"That monster is nothing compared to my Frightfurs! Its attack power is pathetic!" Eddie stated, but couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Don't sell my Bubbleman short just yet, because he has another ability! When I summon Bubbleman, and I have no other cards on my field, I can draw two cards." Zack said as he drew two.
Time seem to slow down as Zack drew his final two cards. Team RWBY and Anna held their breath as this was now the deciding moment of the duel. Zack looked at his cards, and stared in amazement of what came to him. He then envisioned victory and how to accomplish it.
"Since Bubbleman was special summoned, I can still normal summon one monster this turn, and I know just who to play. I summon Elemental Hero Prisma!"
Elemental Hero Prisma
[LV: 4] [Attribute: 4]
[Warrior/Effect]
ATK: 1700 DEF: 1100
The monster that appeared was highly different than the other Heroes. His body was literally composed of crystals. His main body was a triangular shape, with jagged shoulder pads. His upper chest was made of light blue armor, as well as his waist section. His legs were made of diamond like trapezoid shape. His arms were connected on a ball like joint, having sharp shoulder blades, and on a rough rectangular base, with blue hands. His head resembled that of a diamond like shape that was light green. He also had two crystalline wings. Although seeing the monster before, Anna thought he look spectacular. Ruby, Blake and Yang were all dazzled by the monster's appearance. Weiss on the other hand had stars in her eyes, as she was enthralled by the monsters appearance. It didn't help that the moonlight and the stars were shinning on him, causing his body to sparkle in the night.
"Now that's a monster that has bling." Yang said.
"So…beautiful." Weiss said, entranced by the monster.
"I think Prisma shut down Weiss' brain." Ruby said.
"Prisma sure is a lady killer. Even though it's unintentional." Anna said, remembering the first time she saw Prisma.
Prisma takes notice of this, and out of respect, he waves his hand towards Weiss as a friendly gesture, which caused her to pass out.
"I think she likes you Prisma. Now then, time for you shine. Well, with your ability. Now by revealing one fusion monster from my extra deck, I can send a fusion material monster needed for that card to the graveyard, and Prisma's name becomes that monster. I reveal my Elemental Hero Glow Neos, and send Neo-Spacian Glow Moss from my deck to the graveyard. Prisma! Use your hidden powers to transform into Glow Moss! Reflect Change!" Zack declared
Zack then sent Glow Moss from his deck to the graveyard, and Prisma started to glow in a massive light. When the light died down, his body resembled Neo-Spacian Glow Moss. Prisma's change in appearance caused Weiss to snap out of her daze. Yang was snickering at her. She then started blushing so hard that her face turned completely red of embarrassment.
"So what does that do? Your Elemental Hero Neos is in the graveyard. So you can't fuse him with your Prisma. Besides, even if you do summon Glow Neos, I would have enough life points to survive if you used his signal buster and destroyed my spell card. It's impossible" Eddie said.
"Like I said. I do the impossible. And to show you, I play this! The spell card Miracle Contact!" Zack yelled.
"Miracle what!?" Eddie exclaimed.
Zack's graveyard then began to glow as Neos, Glow Moss, and Dark Panther then emerged from the graveyard.
"Miracle Contact allows me to send fusion materials monsters from my hand, field or graveyard back to my deck, to summon a Neos fusion monster! I return Elemental Neos, Glow Moss and Dark Panther back to my deck. TRIPLE CONTACT FUSION!" Zack yelled.
Neos, Glow Moss, and Dark Panther then flew into the air, as they then entered a galaxy and were then enveloped in bright flash of light.
"I hope you guys are ready, because IT'S SPPPPAAAAACCCCCCEEEEEEE TTTTTTIIIIIMMMMMMMIMEEEEEEEE!" Zack screamed to the top of his lungs, as he pulled his arms back in and crouch down, and then thrusted both arms into the air.
Anna giggled at what Zack did. Ruby and Yang were focused on the fusion summoning that was taking place, as the light was exhilarating. Blake rolled her eyes, but smiled in amusement that Zack was being himself. Weiss just face palmed at what Zack just did, and shook her head.
"Come forth! The combination of light, darkness and the cosmos! Elemental Hero Chaos Neos!" Zack yelled.
Elemental Hero Chaos Neos
[LV: 9] [Attribute: Dark]
[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]
ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500
What emerged from the light was a hero who was covered by bat like wings. He then opened his wings and got into a battle stance. This form of Neos had him wearing a black suit, with white blade gauntlets on each of this arms. His upper body had chest armor, with sharper and sleeker shoulder guards. His wings look like one of bat or vampire. He had a rough edge face, which resembled that of a bat, with a yellow gem on his forehead. He also had long blue hair. His right arm also had a black claw. Ruby almost fainted after seeing the appearance of this monster, if it weren't for Yang. Weiss had to admit that Chaos Neos did look like a vampire, but handsome as well. Blake sort of blushed at this monster, but didn't know why.
"I activate Chaos Neos' ability! Chaos check!" Zack declared.
Chaos Neos then held up three different orbs in a vertical line, and they then began to spin like a slot machine, switching between colors of white and black.
"Chaos check is quite interesting. The number of white orbs that appear depend on his ability. If I get one light, then all I control return to my hand. Two lights lets me negate all the effect of all your monsters. Three lights lets Chaos Neos destroy all your monsters." Zack said.
"You're risking your life over a game of chance!? That's ludicrous, to get three light!" Eddie screamed.
"Let's find out. Chaos! Time to give Chaos check a spin!" Zack declared.
"So the fact of whether we survive or get killed is all based on a game of chance?" Ruby asked.
"Well, if you think about it, life is a game of chance. Things just happen just by chance." Blake said.
"Looks like Zack feeling lucky tonight." Yang said.
"Zack! Go beyond your limit!" Anna yelled.
Chaos Neos then begun spinning his three orbs. Everyone watched in suspense as his the orbs spun. The first orb stopped on the color white. The other two kept on spinning, and the middle one started to slow down. It then landed on light. The only thing that was needed was for the last orb to be white. Anna had hope Zack would win. Ruby put her hands together and prayed. Weiss was secretly rooting for Zack, but didn't show it. Blake just watched with a calm look. Yang had high hopes and smiled having the feeling Zack would get it. The final orb started to slow down, as it then slowly stopped. Another white light.
"No! That's…impossible!" Eddie screamed.
"News flash buddy! The impossible is nothing more than a stepping stone for me! Chaos Neos got three white lights! That means that mean your Frightfurs, are a thing in the past!" Go! Aura Dark Spiral!" Zack yelled.
Chaos Neos then jumped into the sky as he looked face to face with the Frightfurs. He then retracted his wings, and reopened then, sending out a furious flash of dark energy. The dark energy then changed into thousands of black bats, as they then swarmed the Frightfur monsters. The Frightfurs tried to fend them off, but with no avail. They felt the one emotion they wanted to place in their opponent: fear. They then exploded in a dark explosion. Frightfur sheep then returned due to its ability.
"Looks like Neos just went, batty." Yang punned.
"I'll admit, that was good one. But not still not funny." Anna said.
"Lighten up Anna." Yang said.
"That was amazing!" Ruby said, amazed by the effect.
"I never thought I would get stressed out because of a card game." Weiss said, glad Zack got what he needed.
"That was an ability, so it doesn't count as an actual attack. Zack's going to claim victory." Blake said.
It was time for the finale.
"Chaos Neos! It's time to break the chain sheep!" Zack declared.
"This can't be! I'm the Nightmare of Huntsmen." Eddie yelled, in disbelief.
"Well, if you are a Nightmare, then guess it's time for you to wake up. Alright Neos, let him have it! Chaos Kick!" Zack yelled.
Neos then flew high into the sky, until he was behind the moon. He then, surround himself with his own wings, as he then became a twister of darkness, destroying the Frightfur Sheep, with a downward strike.
Eddie Terror: 2650LP – 200LP = 2450LP
"Prisma! Get in there, and attack Eddie directly! Spore Spear!" Zack yelled.
Prisma then created a glowing spear, and then hurled it towards Eddie, inflicting damage.
Eddie Terror: 2450LP – 1700LP = 750LP
"Alright, the Final Attack! Get ready Bubbleman! BUBBLE CRITICAL FINISH!" Zack yelled.
Bubbleman then circled his right arm, and then aimed it at Eddie. He then fired a stream of bubbles, causing him to slide back. The stream of bubbles made a hard impact with Eddie sending him flying, and ending the duel.
"Curse…you." Eddie said, as he then vanished.
(End Impossible Victory)
Eddie Terror: 750LP to 0
Winner: Zackery Aegis
"ALRIGHT! Now that's what I call a victory!" Zack yelled as he jumped into the air.
Ruby then ran up to Zack and cling to his arm, almost knocking him down.
"THAT WAS AMAZING ZACK! You've got to show me every card in your deck! You almost looked like an actual hero at the end." Ruby said.
"Yeah! Who would have thought that you would were such a good duelist!? You sir just won my respect." Yang said, as she ruffled his hair.
"I suppose you are good in certain aspects. But, I would be lying if I were to say your duel wasn't good." Weiss said, hesitantly.
"Aw Weiss, you really are a softy!" Zack said bringing her in with one arm.
"Don't touch me." Weiss said, coldly.
"Anyway, while that was a good duel, I think it's about time we needed answers." Blake said, turning her attention to Neos, who just defused.
"I don't have much time, so I'll try to keep it brief. You see, being the Hero of the cosmos, it's my job to watch over the space-time continuum." Neos said.
"Why time?" Zack asked.
"Space and time happen to fall under the same category of space. Anyway, during one of my observations, I noticed a crack in space. When I investigated it, I was attacked by black creatures with bone like masks." Neos said.
"Grim." Blake responded.
"I called my fellow Neo-Spacians to fend off the invaders. We fought with all our might. However, darkness was able to slip past us and enter this world. After the encounter, a light flashed from the crack. That was when you four appeared." Neos said.
"I remember that day. We were just walking in the courtyard until we were engulfed in that light, and then we met you Neos. You told us that the Grim went to another world, and that was where we decided to help you." Blake said.
"So why are the Grim invading?" Ruby asked.
"We don't know yet. The Elemental Heroes have their best researchers on the case, and they will send any information to your scrolls. I can't just appear at will all the time. You would not believe how much energy it takes to materialize here." Neos said.
At that moment, everyone was silent, as they had nervous looks on their faces.
"You lost them didn't you?" Neos asked, having a sweat drop on his head.
"Yeah. We sort of did. So how come, we aren't experience the same problem." Yang asked.
"The four of you were sent here along with your aura. Your aura seemed to have mixed with the duel energy that was required to send you here. While only your duelist can see you, your aura allows you to interact with the world, unlike other spirits." Neos said.
Neos' body then began to flicker, as he seem he was losing power.
"It seems this all the time I have left. If you have any other questions, I'll answer them the next time I meet." Neos said.
"That's simple, all I have to do is duel again in one of these barriers, and then summon you." Zack said.
"It's not that simple. Yes while it is true that using me in your darkness duel allowed me to appear here, in order for me to appear here, I also must use a significant amount of my energy, and it takes a while to recharge." Neos stated.
"Nothing is ever simple. Except eating, and sleeping." Zack said.
"I can't believe you were the one who saved us." Weiss said, under her breath.
"Wait! Why are we like this?" Ruby asked, referring to her chibi body.
"It's a long explanation. I'll tell you when I see you again!" Neos said, as he then disappeared.
Everyone just stood in place after hearing what Neos said. Zack and Anna looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. Ruby then screamed in shocked.
"What's wrong sis?" Yang asked.
"I forgot to ask for his autograph!" Ruby yelled.
Weiss just rolled her eyes, while Blake grinned a bit. Yang was trying to cheer Ruby up.
"BIG BROTHER!" A little girl voice yelled.
Out of no-where a small little girl was running up towards the group and was waving at them. She appeared to be 12 years old. She was wearing a dark blue skirt, with a sakura flower pattern design on the edges. She wore a white hoodie unzipped and a green shirt underneath. She had black hair with two pig tails, and brown eyes.
"Mia! You're back!" Zack said, running up to her sister.
"Mia? As in Zack's sister?" Yang asked.
"What gave it away? The fact that she called him big brother?" Blake said.
"Nice to see you Mia! Now how's my little sister doing?" Zack said, ruffling her sister's hair.
"I'm doing fine. Besides, that duel you had was intense!" Mia said.
"It sure was. Wait. How did you know I was dueling?" Zack asked.
"I rigged your duel disk to let me know whenever you are in a duel. I can only see the duel in a simulation play mat style though. It was still a nice fight. Made the trip back home more fun." Mia replied.
"Well that's kind of weird." Weiss said.
"That's the relation between Zack and Mia. Just being a brother and sister thing." Anna said.
"Well, glad I could entertain you unintentionally. So how was your trip?" Zack asked.
"I'll tell you more about it later. Dad and mom are coming over here so we can cook that dish." Mia said.
"You don't mean…" Zack said.
"Kuri-rice." Mia said, grinning ear to ear.
"Oh boy! An Aegis classic!" Zack said.
"Oh by the way Zack. Who are those four kids next to Anna?" Mia asked.
"You can see them?" Zack asked surprised.
"I'm not blind Zack. So are going to introduce me, or what?" Mia asked.
"Well sure. By the way, they're spirits." Zack said.
"Oh. That's quite interesting." Mia said.
Team RWBY was surprised that Zack's sister could see them, but immediately ready themselves to meet Zack's sister.
"Don't worry girls. Mia is really sweet, and surprisingly mature in a way." Anna said.
"She doesn't look mature to me." Weiss said.
"She has nice hair." Yang said.
When Zack then brought Mia close to Team RWBY.
"Okay Mia, this is Ruby." Zack said.
"Hi." Ruby said, as she smiled and waved.
"This is Weiss." Zack said.
"Hi. I guess." Weiss said.
"This here is Blake." Zack said.
"Hello." Blake said.
"And this is Yang." Zack said.
"What's up?" Yang said.
Mia was silent for a moment as she was thinking of what to say to the four girls.
"Hi, I'm Mia Aegis, and it is a pleasure to meet all four of you. I hope to get to know you all more. Any friend of Zack, is a friend of mine as well." Mia said.
Strangely to RWBY, and mostly Weiss, Mia did sounded a lot more mature than your average 12 year old.
"Are you really Zack's younger sister? Your personalities are completely off." Weiss said shocked.
"Oh. We get that a lot. My brother can be quite a handful at times. Sometimes people get confused of who actually is the older sibling. I find it amusing at times." Mia said.
"Hey! You can be a handful too you know." Zack said, defending himself.
"Oh really? May I remind you brother of the several blunders you made? Like the time you wore your pajamas to school?" Mia said, smugly.
"It was just one time! Besides you aren't perfect yourself! You almost threw my deck into the washing machine, just because you thought they needed to be cleaned!" Zack yelled.
"I was 3 years old at that time. My mind barely developed, and my cognitive thinking was immature. Your incident happen when you were my age, and I always know what I'm wearing when I'm awake. However, on the bright side, they say that failure is nothing but a lesson, so knowing all the future fails you will probably do in the future, you will have more experience than me from learning from those lessons. So keep learning big brother." Mia said, cheerfully.
"HOW IS THAT SUPPOSE TO BE A BRIGHT SIDE!? I JUST WANT DO THE IMPOSSIBLE, NOT FAIL MISERABLY ALL THE TIME!" Zack yelled.
"Hey, it's quite impossible for you to do something without something crazy happening, but I don't see you doing that." Mia said.
"THAT'S BECAUSE CRAZY IS WHAT MAKES ME DO THE IMPOSSIBLE! IT'S LITERALLY MY MIDDLE NAME!" Zack yelled.
"As much as I would like to point out all these faults in this conversation, I think it is quite inappropriate to display this kind of behavior in front of our friends." Mia said, still smiling.
Zack only clenched his teeth, as his sister had just won the argument. He loved her little sister from the bottom of his heart, but sometimes, she just acts way to mature for his own good.
Team RWBY were quite shock to see a little girl giving a lecture to his older brother. Anna just looked down and shook her head. She sometimes think that Zack and Mia traded ages. Here is what RWBY thought.
"She's only three years younger than me, but acts more mature than me." Ruby said in a deadpanned tone.
"I wonder how life would be if Ruby was like that?" Yang said, as she then thought of Ruby lecturing her, giving her little to no chance of a comeback.
(Yang's mind)
"Please restrain yourself big sister. You can't just go destroying clubs just because you didn't get what you want. Yang, watch your diet. Your posture is wrong. Don't just go seducing boys for the thrill of it." Ruby said.
(Reality)
"Then again, I would rather not." Yang said, trying to forget those thoughts.
"Well this is a strange turn of events. A younger sister lecturing his older brother. Now I've seen it all." Blake said.
Anna, Ruby, Blake and Yang all then noticed Weiss was acting weird. On closer inspection, she appear to be holding back her breath. It appear she was trying not to laugh.
"Weiss. Are you laughing?" Ruby said shocked to see her friend clutching her stomach.
"I'm…not…laughing." Weiss said, trying to deny the fact that she was laughing.
"Is something amusing about our conversation?" Mia asked Weiss.
"It's just…so amusing…to see…this." Weiss said, as she then started giving out small forms of laughter.
To Weiss, it was quite amusing to see Zack get lecture for his childish actions, by his little sister. Weiss doesn't really like people at first, but Mia made quite the impression on her. Her attitude and the way she acted was quite proper for a young lady of her age.
"Well no surprise there. Zack sure does bring comedic relief for the family, and a day in the house is never boring with him around. He's like an entertainer." Mia said.
"ARE YOU SAYING I'M A CLOWN!?" Zack yelled.
"Oh no. You put clowns to shame Zack. They could actually learn from you." Mia said, teasing Zack.
"Oh, ha, ha. Real funny Mia." Zack said.
"Please…stop." Weiss said, as Mia's remarks were amusing Weiss, as she started to grin even more.
"Do you find it displeasing? By the way, it's not healthy to keep in a laugh. You will feel much better if you let it out." Mia said.
Weiss then started to laugh uncontrollably as Mia patted her on the back. Seeing this made the rest of team RWBY laugh. Zack was still a little peeved, but decided to laugh as well. He couldn't stay angry at his little sister, and she did had a point. Anna laughed as well, knowing that team RWBY, were just another part of the family to her.
"It's nice to have friends in your life, whether the moment is bad, or even good. As impossible means a challenge to Zack. Friend also means family to me." Anna thought.
Anna decided to enjoy the moment. Although she found a smiling and laughing Weiss to look really weird. It just didn't seem right.
End of Chapter 5
Bonus Scene
Anna and Zack appeared on two different sides of a screen.
"Today's winning card. Elemental Hero Chaos Neos." Anna said pointing to the card on the screen.
"He's a Level 9, Dark attribute warrior type Fusion monster, with 3000 attack points and 2500 attack points." Zack said.
"In order to summon him, you need to return Elemental Hero Neos, Neo-Spacian Dark Panther and Neo-Spacian Glow Moss back to the deck to summon him." Anna explained.
"However, the harder the fusion, the harder they hit. Just look at the guy! He looks like a werewolf and vampire combined!" Zack said.
"Chaos Neos has three effects, which are based on the number of heads you get in a coin toss. One head means all monsters on your field return to your hand. Two heads negates all your opponents' monster effects. And three heads destroys all of your opponents' monster without mercy. However, his effect requires him to return to the extra deck, so try to keep that in mind." Anna explained.
"He has high attack and a random chance effect!? This guy really does define the meaning of Chaos. You could say he makes things highly chaotic." Zack said.
"HE SO AMAZING!" Ruby said appearing from a white hole.
"My brother may be a goof, but at least he knows how to duel smart." Mia said, appearing in another white hole.
Author Notes:
This has to be the longest chapter I have ever written in my life! Zack to me is like the physical representation of GX. I have a soft spot for the series as it just had a nice charm to it, in my opinion. Now I don't plan on showing Elemental Hero Neos a lot, because he was Jaden's ace card, so I don't want him to take the stage all the time, but he will appear from time to time. Also, a lot of people have been asking me about putting in team JNPR in the story, and yes I am thinking of how to put them in the story. I'm just wondering if Zack should claim them, as he is fusion duelist, and I find it hard to mix other extra deck monsters with Elemental Heroes. But if I do, I might make JNPR fusion based. So did I do a good job with Zack's duel? What do you think of Zack's sister, Mia? Please let me know so I can improve. I'll see you for the next duel!
