Well, I'm going to wait for a while till more cards and the anime come out, and then I'll consider putting in the new rules. So for now, I'll stick with the rules we know and love today. Now, IT'S TIME TO DUEL!

Yu-Gi-Oh: RWBY Chronicles

Chapter 7: The Inferno Dueler

(Lapis Docks)

It was morning at the Lapis Docks. The Lapis Docks was the main port for ships leaving and entering the Jewel city portside. In the area, there were several warehouses, and in one of them, something was happening. In warehouse 24, several explosions could be heard from the inside. A Duel was taking place. In the warehouse, a group of men were equipped with their duel disks and had several monsters on their field. They are a gang of card smugglers, who steal decks from all over the city and sold them at higher prices to high bidders. An explosion then occurred as one of the gang members was sent flying as his life points dropped to zero. The other members began to back away.

"Who is this guy?" One of the members asked.

"How should I know?! Just get him!" Another member yelled.

"B…but he's taken out at least half of us already." A member said in fear, as another person was sent flying in the air.

"I don't care! Just make sure we beat this guy!" the member yelled.

On the other side of the warehouse, stood a teenage boy, around 17 years old, he wore an unbuttoned orange-red jacket vest, with pockets on both sides, with a black shirt on the inside, military camouflage pants, and brown combat boots. His hair was black with a yellow lining as it spread out from the sides of his head, and curved upwards a little, and he wore a black cap with the picture of a knight helmet on the front. He had bright yellow eyes. On his left arm was a Duel Disk that was colored in crimson red and gun metal silver. Next to him were two pillars of light, and within the light were monsters suspended in the light that were concealed within the shadows. From a distance, they appeared to be mechanized warriors wielding a gun or sword. The man then spoke.

"Because of you guys, I'm going to be late for school. I can't believe the cards actually obey dishonorable people like you. It just boils me up. What's worse is that this is a complete waste of time. You guys are nothing but weak, pathetic, dishonorable, lowlife duelists who don't even deserve a deck!" the man yelled.

"You dare insult the Archfiend Raiders!? As leader, I will not accept your intrusion!" The leader spoke.

"It is the truth, and you know what? The truth hurts, so deal with it! Just how it hurts me to know I'm dueling such disgraceful duelists. It's my turn now! I DRAW!" the man yelled, as he drew his card.

"I'll incinerate all of you in my inferno! To the Frontlines! My monsters!" the man yelled.

Five flashes of red-orange then appeared out of portal in the sky. The gang members covered their eyes from the light. When they opened their eyes, five mechanized warriors wielding hybrid gun-swords appeared on the field.

"Open fire." The man command.

The monsters then raised their weapons and charged forward, firing multiple shots, as well as swinging their weapons with precision. The gang members fell one by one, as explosions, the destruction of enemy monsters, and screams of pain rang out of from the warehouse. After the onslaught, several gang members either fled or were unconscious. The leader however was nowhere to be seen. Upon realizing this the man, slammed his fist in a nearby wall.

"DARN IT! He got away. He just talks all big to me, and what does he do? He leaves his cronies to do the fighting for him! Disgraceful!" The man yelled.

Behind him an astral figure appeared behind him. It was warrior who wore gray-green armor, with shoulder armor pieces that resembled lighters. On his legs and arms, were wheel like objects. His helmet had two green side pieces that went upward. He had red eyes, and a black mouth guard, with a silver piece running along his fore head, along with a blue marking. He also appeared to be wielding what appears to be Caliber gun with a blade at the front.

"Come on Ethan. You did pretty well. I mean, you did take out almost everyone in this warehouse." The monster said.

"They were dishonorable Gallant. It was only natural that I would win." Ethan said, as he then dusted the dirt off his cap.

"Geez. Would it kill you to lighten up a bit? Anyway, you should get to school. You're already late. I have to get back now. I need to check my men. Later Ethan." Gallant said, as he then vanished.

When Gallant left, Ethan noticed of a several items sticking out of one of the goon's pockets. Upon inspection, they appeared to be four transparent phone shaped devices. He tries to turn it on, but there is a password lock on it.

"What strange devices. Wonder what they do? Probably a new phone on the market. Anyway, I probably should get to school after I tip Sector Security about this." Ethan said, as he then proceeded to walk out of the warehouse.

(Yuno Residence)

It's has been at least five days ever since Anna meet team RWBY, and things have been quite interesting for her. The thought that another world that contained huntsmen, evil creatures called Grimm, huntsmen academies, an energy source of dust, and the kingdoms of Remnant. All this time, something like that existed in the universe. It was a lot for Anna to take in at first, but now team RWBY was part of Anna's life, as they all live with her. However, while Anna doesn't mind having four new roommates, that didn't mean it would cause trouble for her from time to time. Such as what is about to happen right here. Anna and team RWBY were sleeping on one bed, since there is only one bed for them to sleep on, and Anna refused to let team RWBY sleep on the floor. She was really persistent last night, as she broke into a nervous sweat for some reason. On the bed, Anna was scrunched up against the wall to make room. She and Ruby were snoring with their mouths opened, with both of their heads on the pillow. Weiss was sleeping in the center of the bed, next to Anna's stomach. Blake was laying at the bottom of the bed, next to Anna's feet. Luckily, Anna likes to keep her feet clean before going to bed. Yang on the other hand, was hanging from the side of the bed, with a bed sheet tide up to her right leg, as she was hanging upside down. The girls were at peace. This will all end, because Victoria suddenly came through the door by performing a flying crane kick. She did not look happy, and she was wielding a microphone. Then, she then took a deep breath and yelled as loud as she could through the microphone, on the highest volume, waking up everyone in the bedroom.

"ANNA YUNO! WAKE UP! YOU OVERSLEPT!" Victoria yelled, startling everyone in the bed.

"KKKKYYYYYYYAAAAAAAA!" Anna screamed, falling out of the bed.

"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE!?" Weiss yelled, as she doesn't like to disturbed while sleeping.

"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK! QUICK! BUMBLEBEE FORMATION!" Ruby yelled, as she then pulled out Crescent Rose, and started swinging it around like crazy, nearly decapitating Weiss.

"RUBY YOU DOLT! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE SWINGING THAT THING!" Weiss yelled. However, Ruby couldn't hear her, as she was in a panic, and continued to swing her scythe.

"WILL EVERYONE JUST CALM DOWN FOR THE NEXT 5 SECONDS!? A LADY NEEDS HER SLEEP YOU KNOW!" Yang yelled, as she then burst into flames, lighting some part of the blanket on fire.

"YANG! THE BLANKET IS ON FIRE!" Anna yelled, frightened by the fire.

Blake was surprised as well, but was able to handle the situation more calmly

"Victoria. You mind telling us why you're waking us up with a microphone?" Blake asked, with all the chaos that started to take place. Ruby still swinging her Scythe around, as Weiss began jumping and ducking to avoid being chopped up, Yang still in a blazing rage fit, and Anna trying to put out the fire by fanning it.

"Anna overslept, and now she's going to be late for school, and now I have to solve this mess!" Victoria yelled, as she was not happy.

"Wait? I'M GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!?" Anna shrieked in horror.

"NOT ON MY WATCH SISTER! COMMENCEING PLAN G.A.T.S.!" Victoria yelled.

Plan G.A.T.S. stands for "Get Anna to School", which was a plan that Victoria made to help her little sister get to school, if she ever overslept. It hasn't been used before, since Anna always woke up on time, until now. Victoria then analyzed the situation, as she then began to formulate a plan. When Victoria thinks, time seems to slow down for her. It isn't a superpower, it's just she enjoy thinking a lot, that she's gotten fast at it. She also enjoys puzzle games.

"Only thirty five minutes till School starts for Anna. Five minutes for me to think of a plan. Three minutes to get her uniform on dresser, two minutes to brush her teeth, and we can skip the shower, most kids don't take showers in the morning, so it's fine. The matter of breakfast: my cooking skills are horrible. Conclusion: resort to the coconut yogurt that is in the fridge. Anna may dislike it, so I should force her to eat. After all of this, this will leave me with twenty minutes. However that is exactly the same amount of time it takes for Anna to walk. Wait a minute. I have a car! So I can just drive her to school. Oh wait. The car was scratched up by a bunch of hooligans a week ago, so it's in the repair shop. Anna easily panics, so she may not be able to focus easily on directions. That leaves me with only one option of transportation!" Victoria thought in her head.

Victoria immediately connected the dots in her head, as she then rushed towards Anna. Anna was caught off guard, as she was then spun, like a spinning top, and Victoria then changed her into her school uniform quickly. Victoria then yanked Anna by the back of her collar, and then began brushing her teeth for her. Anna would normally do this herself, but with all the confusion that just happened, it was taking her a while to think clearly. She then grabbed all of her school supplies, stuffed them in Anna's school case, and made Anna hold it. Victoria then remembered that team RWBY was still in Anna's room, as they were still in a panic. Blake was now trying to calm down a grumpy Yang, and Weiss was now scolding a depressed Ruby, and Victoria was almost at her breaking point.

"EVERYONE JUST BE QUIET!" Victoria yelled, as everyone stop what they were doing to turn their attention to a very annoyed Victoria who was holding her confused sister by the collar.

"This morning is not pleasant for all of us. But the least you girls could do is actually try to clean up this mess here." Victoria said.

"But you were the one who-." Yang was about to say until.

"Don't talk back to me young Lady! I'll be gone for a while, and by the time I return, I want this place all cleaned up. Or else." Victoria snapped, as she gave off her menacing glare.

Victoria then left the room, dragging her sister down the stair, leaving team RWBY in silence, as they were not suspecting to see the menacing side of Victoria. However, they then heard footsteps coming back up the stair, and Victoria appeared in the doorway smiling.

"I forgot to slam the door shut for dramatic effect, and to state that I'm serious about what I said. Bye girls. Clean this place up or else." Victoria said, in a more cheerful tone, as she then slammed the door shut.

Team RWBY didn't know what to say, as they were slightly intimidated and surprised by Victoria's sudden change in attitude. They then looked out the window and saw Victoria and Anna on a two-person bicycle, and then began pedaling at maximum speeds. Anna was trying to keep up with Victoria furious pace. They then noticed that they weren't being dragged with Anna, and the reason for that was that Anna left her deck on her desk in the middle of the confusion.

"Looks liked Anna, Decked, out on us." Yang punned, causing multiple groans from her teammates.

"Yang. Isn't it a bit early to start annoying us with your puns? Blake asked, while raising an eyebrow.

"Come on Blake. Not every morning can be, Purrfect." Yang punned again.

"Still. Shouldn't the alarm clock woken Anna up?" Ruby asked.

"I don't think I would of. Just take a look at it." Blake said, directing everyone's attentions toward the clock, or what remained of it.

The alarm clock was hanging on dresser by its cable, and had the glass shattered in the front, with the digits stuck on 6:00 am. It also appeared to be crumpled inward on top. What everyone did noticed was a shot gun bullet stuck in the top of the clock. As everyone turned their attention towards Yang, who whistling.

"I guess I kind of hit the snooze button to hard." Yang said, as she made a nervous smile.

"More like pulverized. That clock no chance." Ruby said, looking at it.

"I looks like I made time, fly." Yang punned again.

"That's it. I'm leaving. If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom." Weiss said, as she then quickly stormed out of the room.

"I'm going to be cleaning Crescent Rose. My sweetheart is a little dirty after what happened, and I want her in top shape." Ruby said, as she went down stairs to clean her weapon.

"I'm going to read my book." Blake said.

"You mean that smutty ninja book?" Yang asked, smirking at Blake.

"It's not smut!" Blake yelled.

While Yang was snickering at her partner, Blake began looking for her book. However, she couldn't find it. She then tried to remember where she placed it. Thinking back, she knew she placed on the desk. The same desk that Victoria snatched all the books and placed in Anna's book bag. Once she put the pieces together, she had the look of dread on her face, as she knew what happened, and what could possibly happened.

"Oh no." Blake muttered in fear.

"What wrong Blake?" Yang asked, as she was doing some stretches.

"I think Anna might lose her innocence today." Blake said, in dread.

It took a while for Yang to realize what Blake meant, as her face then twisted to one of fear of what might happened to Anna.

"Well Blake. Guess you might just cause a cat-tastrophe." Yang punned once more.

"GODDAMMIT YANG!" Blake yelled.

While Yang was laughing at her partner, a flash of light then appeared in the room. This caused Yang and Blake to be on guard. The light then started to form a tear in the fabric of reality. When it opened up, two figures could be seen on the other side. The first was man who wore a black cloak and an orange device on his lower body. His cloak was embedded with gold engravings. He also wore a white cape with shoulder guards, with the same gold embedment, with an orange oval orb in the center. His head was covered up by a mask, showing his orange eyes, as we as having an orange outline, and had gold crest wings sprouting from the sides. Next to him was a familiar face, it was Elemental HERO Neos.

"Greetings Huntresses. Long time no see." Neos said.

(Neon High School)

Class was about to begin, and everyone except Anna was there. Zack was there as well, as he started wondering what was taking Anna so long. He then heard a woman screaming as if she were going into battle, and a girl's voice who was holding on for dear life. When he went to look out the window, he saw Victoria and Anna on a two-person bicycle pedaling towards the front gate. What then followed were a serious collaboration of noises ranging from a cat shriek, objects falling down, and furious sound of sole being pressed on the ground, and Victoria screaming like a barbarian. Zack didn't know what to think, since he had no idea what was going on. Other students were scared of what the screaming was about. Suddenly the door burst opened revealing a blond with glasses, wearing Watapon slippers (she forgot to put on shoes), with sweaty clothes, and breathing deeply. She was carrying a confused Anna. She then regained her composure, as she then walked towards Anna's, desk setting Anna down, who was still trying to process what just happened this morning.

"Zack. If you may?" Victoria asked.

"Uh…yeah!" Zack stammered, as he then tapped Anna on the cheek a couple times, snapping her out of her daze.

"INFERNOID APOCAPLYSE!" Anna screamed, as the word just came to her head.

Everyone just stared at the scene. Some were giggling, while others were just confused. Anna then looked around, and just blushed in embarrassment. Zack patted Anna on the back to cheer her up.

"I'll never oversleep again." Anna said, meekly.

"Cheer up Anna. At least things can't get any worse." Zack said.

"Well Anna, take care." Victoria said walking towards the door.

Upon opening it however, two sector security guards stood in front of the door.

"IT'S THE CRAZY BLOND! GET HER!" Guard one yelled.

"Eh?" Victoria muttered before she dogged piled by the guards.

"YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR TRESPASSING ON SCHOOL PROPERTY, AND NOW YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENCE!" Guard two yelled.

"WAIT! THIS IS ALL BUT A BIG MISUNDERSTANDING!" Victoria yelled.

"That's what they all say." Guard one said.

Everyone was dumbstruck of what was just happening. Anna was very worried for her sister, as she was about to see her be taken to jail. However, before the police could take her away, another person stood in their way. Judging from his appearance, he appeared to be the teacher of the class. He wore a limestone color suit, and matching pants. Unlike most teachers, he had a scar cut on his left cheek, and his suit was unbutton, revealing his black shirt and red tie. His hair had a dark tan color. This is Aibo Dachi.

"Hey guys what's up? Up top!" Aibo said, raising his hand for a high-five. One guard, hesitantly, gave him a high five in return,

"Oh, Mr. Dachi. We're just taking this women back to HQ for questioning." Guard one said.

"Oh really. That is a big problem for me, because this women is my class-assistant volunteer. She called me ahead of time, to notify she might be late. However, her determination got her here on time, as well as getting her sister to class. Can you really call that a crime?" Aibo asked.

"I…suppose we can let it go this one time. But she is your responsibility Mr. Dachi. So look after her. Understand?" Guard one said.

"Yes!" Aibo said, as he curved a thumb up.

The guards then released Victoria, as they then walked out of the door. Anna was relieved that her sister wasn't going to go jail because of her.

"Thanks for bailing me out Mr. Dachi." Victoria said, as she brushed her dirt off her clothes.

"Ah don't sweat it. Being one of my former students, a teacher strives to guide their students down the road they want. Also, you might need to help me, just to make sure those cops don't come and arrest you." Aibo said.

"I would be glad too." Victoria replied.

"Alright then! It's class time! Everyone please settle down. Now, before we begin, I have an announcement to make." Aibo said.

"A pop quiz?" A male student asked, in fear.

"Nope." Aibo replied.

"You're going to get married next week?" A female student asked with hearts in her eyes.

"N…no." Aibo said, with hints of sadness.

"Are you actually a superhero?" Zack asked.

"Believe me. I wish was, but no. Instead, something else. Victoria! The Lights!" Aibo yelled.

Victoria went to the other side and cut the lights. Aibo then raised a flash light, and played Hollywood music.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, and class pet lizard! Introducing, the newest edition to this classroom! Please give it up for…." Aibo said until.

"QUIET IT DOWN MR. DACHI!" A women voiced yelled from the chalkboard.

"S…sorry Bell. You can come on in now Ethan." Aibo said, as he turned off the music. He really wanted to do that introduction.

The person that walked into the class was wearing the school uniform. It was a 17 year old teenager. He was wearing a black cap with the picture of a knight helmet on the front. He had black hair with a yellow lining on the left side of his head, and it curved up ward just a bit. He also had two bright yellow eyes.

"Everyone. This is Ethan Hono. He is a transfer student from, uh, where did you come from again?" Aibo asked, writing his name on the board.

"Gem City." Ethan replied.

"Oh, so you come from the neighboring city. Alright then. Anything you would like to say to the class?" Aibo asked.

"Just one thing." Aibo said, as he then turned to the class, with a serious look.

"Listen up! If anyone of you shows any signs of dishonor in here, you will get no sympathy from me, and I will break you!" Ethan declared, pointing his fist towards the other students.

After that, some of the students were startled by his attitude, and decided it was best not to get on his bad side. Others thought he was a complete nut job. Here is what Anna and Zack thought.

"What's his problem? Is he like some kind of edge lord?" Anna thought.

"I think I like this guy. That was one awesome introduction." Zack thought.

"Now calm down Ethan. I assure you that everyone in this class is an honorable student, and its ill advised to fight other students. Those are the rules after all." Aibo said, a little frighten by Ethan.

"Very well then. Now I assume you have a class to start?" Ethan asked.

"Uh…yeah. You can take the seat right over at the front of the class." Aibo said.

As class began, Anna felt like there was something else about this Ethan character, besides his personality, as she felt something spiritual from him. It reminded her of the encounter she had with team RWBY.

(Yuno Residence)

Team RWBY have just gathered in the living room, and Neos and the other figure was there as well. Neos was sitting down on the chair, which was originally the sofa and is now being propped up by a wooden block, while team RWBY were on the other chair. Ruby was staring at Neos, as her eyes sparkled. Yang was having the same look at the other figure as well. Blake and Weiss were slightly intimidated by the monster next to Neos.

"Uh…would you mind not staring at me? It's a little uncomfortable." Neos said to Ruby, as he was a little creeped out by it.

"Oh. Sorry about that. It's just that you're a superhero from space, which makes you so awesome!" Ruby said, as she blushed a little.

"So how exactly are able to see us again? You said you're power was low, so you couldn't contact us. Also, who's the other hunk next to you?" Yang purred.

"I am Hyperion. Titan of Light! Master and God of the Galaxy! Leader of the Agents of the Solar System!" Hyperion said in a booming voice.

"Wait. YOU'RE A GOD?!" Weiss yelled in disbelief.

"Indeed I am. So it's best for you that you don't upset me. Otherwise, I can erase you from existence with a snap of my finger." Hyperion said.

Team RWBY were then scarred of Hyperion, as he just threaten to destroy them, if they were to make him upset. There was a brief awkward silence in the room. Neos only took a sip from a cup of tea he made.

"That was a joke." Hyperion said calmly.

"DON'T SCARE US LIKE THAT!" Team RWBY yelled in synchronization.

"But seriously. I can destroy you through a duel. So don't get any ideas." Hyperion said.

"Aw come on Hyperion. Take a chill pill. By the way girls, Hyperion here was able to give me permission to open a portal from space in order to talk to you." Neos said.

"It's not an easy thing to do. Opening portals constantly in the fabric of space is dangerous, as they can form distortions through the fabric of reality. Plus, you guys only have an hour to talk. Neos' presence here is highly dangerous. There is also the fact that the invading Grimm left the rift between our worlds strained." Hyperion said, as he was being strict about this.

"So why are you here Neos?" Blake asked.

"Well for starters, I was able to go your world and have a talk with your headmaster." Neos said.

"You met Professor Ozpin?" Yang asked, as all of team RWBY was surprised by this.

"Indeed. You girls were taken from your world without any warning. I'm sure everyone back home is worried about you." Neos said.

Team RWBY now realized that no one back at Beacon knew where they were, as it might cause some panic. Ruby and Yang thought of how worried their dad might be. Weiss was wondering if her dad would take notice. Blake on the other hand was worried about her parents as well.

"So what did you and Ozpin talk about?" Ruby asked.

"Well first, I had to go through his right hand woman. I think her name was…Glitter?" Neos said.

"It's Glynda." Blake said, correcting Neos.

"Thank you. Anyway, when she first saw me, she immediately went on the offensive. But who could blame her? I am a duel monster after all, and I am typically an alien. Luckily for me, Ozpin decided to give me a chance to explain myself. I then told them all about this world, the world of duel spirits, how the Grimm came and invaded this world, and that the four of you are now fighting alongside Anna Yuno."

"So did he believe you? I mean it is a lot to take in. To be honest, if it were me hearing this for the first time, I might have asked you to leave immediately, and I would use force if you didn't." Weiss said.

"Funny thing; that is exactly what Glynda said to me. However, I manage to record your duels with the Grimm, and showed it to them. It is like they say: a picture is worth a thousand words. At first, they were a bit surprised to see you fighting the Grimm through the use of Card Game, and even more surprised to see your miniaturized forms, but they did eventually accepted it. Your headmaster is real reasonable man. He also knows how to make a great cup of coffee. He even gave me this coffee mug as a gift." Neos said, showing them the coffee mug, with the beacon symbol on it.

"That's great! So what's Ozpin going to tell everyone else?" Ruby asked.

"He's going to contact your parents and tell your friends that I'm a huntsmen who selected team RWBY for a special training mission, and that you are going to be with me for a while." Neos said.

"Thanks Neos! You sure did save us a lot of trouble." Yang said, giving him a thumbs up.

"Is there anything else you would like us to know about?" Weiss asked.

"Actually, there is. Recently a man was discovered unconscious yesterday by Sector Security. Apparently, a girl by the name of Melissa Sawyer told us that he was kidnapping women, and selling them. What caught our attention was that he vaguely remembered using a black crystal object. I sent a Kuriboh there to investigate it. He discovered that the man had traces of dust on him, the type of energy from Remnant." Neos said.

"You mean actual Dust? I thought Dust didn't exist in this world." Weiss said, as she was most surprised.

"That's what we thought, but Dust somehow appeared here. However, the energy readings were gave off negative energies of darkness. We don't know what it is, but keep on the lookout for anything like that." Neos said.

Team RWBY were a little shock of hearing this, as they were worried what this might cause. However, Ruby and Yang realized something.

"Ruby! We forgot about Zwei! He's still in the dorm room!" Yang yelled in horror.

"You're right! We were so busy fighting the Grimm that we completely forgot about him!" Ruby screamed.

"Oh don't worry. He's with us, back at Elemental HERO headquarters. He's getting along with Wroughtweiler. I even have a picture of him. Take a look." Neos said holding up his phone.

The picture showed a black and white corgi sleeping next to a black mechanized dog, with teal linings, and had a visor on covering its eyes. This was Zwei hanging out with his new bud Wroughtweiler.

"ZWEI!" Ruby yelled with joy.

"You…have a robot dog?" Blake asked, a little tense.

"Yep. He is an Elemental HERO'S Best friend. Codename: Friend Dog. Anyway, this is all the time I have left. So you have any more questions, ask them now." Neos replied.

"We do have one. Why are we tiny?" Yang asked, referring to her body.

"Having you in your normal forms would prevent you from interacting in the world, as they require more energy. So the synchrons suggested that you girls have the same gimmick as them." Neos explained.

"So if we were normal size, we wouldn't be able to interact with Anna outside of duels?" Blake said confirming the answer.

"That is correct. Now if you'll excuse me, I must be going. See you girls later. Hyperion, if you may?" Neos said.

"Gladly." Hyperion said.

Hyperion then created a small red orb with his hands, and surround Neos and Himself as they then disappeared from the room. Ruby then screamed in horror as she just realized something.

"I FORGOT TO ASK FOR HIS AUTOGRAPH AGAIN!" Ruby cried, in sadness.

"Oh Ruby." Weiss said, shaking her head.

(Elemental HQ)

Neos and Hyperion arrived from the flash of light and appeared in a white room that looked like a lounge room. There was a white couch with a large flat-screen TV. There was also a bar with a mini-fridge. It basically had everything for entertainment purposes, such as videogames and books.

"Thanks again Hyperion." Neos said.

"Don't mention it. Just don't expect me to do it again. We already have enough space related problems, and we don't need anymore. I need to go see Time Wizard now to make sure there aren't any time distortions. The last thing we want are time paradoxes, or alternate timeline problems. Until we meet again." Hyperion said, as he then surrounded himself in a bright light, as he then disappeared from the room. Neos just looked around him wondering if he should just relax, or if he should check on his other hero friends. Just then Sparkman came in running through the door.

"Neos! Thank goodness you're back!" Sparkman said, as he took a breather.

"What seems to be the problem Sparkman?" Neos asked.

"Well, I have good news and bad news. Good news is that Clayman was able to buy the food for the outdoor grill." Sparkman said.

"That's great! I've been looking forward to this day all week! What's the bad news?" Neos asked, worried what Sparkman was going to say next.

"Well, you see, the thing is that Clayman is being chased by the Zwei and Wroughtweiler. Apparently, Avian got called out for a mission, and forgot to feed them. So right now the dogs are starving and won't listen to reason until they've eaten." Sparkman said.

"WHAT!?" Neos exclaimed as he then grabbed a remote and switched the monitor to Clayman's signal.

Clayman was on top of a counter top as Zwei and Wroughtweiler were barking at him, demanding for the meats he was holding in his arms.

"Stay back! I have a newspaper, and I'm not afraid to…" Clayman was about to say, when Wroughtweiler and Zwei grabbed the newspaper with their teeth and teared it apart.

"Ok. Only one thing to do now. Scream in fear until someone comes. SOMEBODY HELP!" Clayman yelled, as he continued to fend the dogs off.

"Sparkman! We must hurry! We haven't had a cookout for long time ever since Burstinatrix destroyed the grill, and I am not waiting any longer!" Neos yelled as he then ran out the door to assist Clayman.

Sparkman then followed after Neos as Lady Heat and Burstinatrix noticed them running out the door. The two male heroes continued to scream about meat, while the two female heroes just stared at them with blank expressions.

"Men. What is with them and meat? It's just a piece of cooked flesh on a stick." Burstinatrix said.

"We may never know Burst. We may never know." Lady Heat said, shaking her head.

(Neon High School)

It is now lunchtime for the students, as well as free time. Anna and Zack were stilling together, eating today's lunch: curry bread. Anna decided to see what she had in her book bag, and then noticed a certain book in her bag. It was the ninja's of love book. She then examined the front cover and back of the book.

"What book is that Anna?" Zack asked.

"It's Blake's book, "Ninja's of Love". Ruby told me that this book is filth. Not sure if I should read it. I kind of want to keep my innocence." Anna said.

"Aw come on Anna. It's just Ninjas. There are only a few things you need to know about them. They are masters of stealth, killing, wield swords and shurikens, and they are Blakeish!" Zack said, posing as a ninja.

"Blakeish? What does that mean?" Anna asked.

"It means being so cool like a ninja! Besides, can you imagine Blake in a ninja outfit?" Zack said.

"I can actually see that. She would make a good ninja." Anna said, envisioning Blake dressed in Black Ninja Garments, and wielding a katana.

"If I were a Ninja, I wouldn't bother with hiding! Instead, I would go on a rampage!" Zack said pretending to hold up a sword.

"Zack. What kind of ninjas would go on a rampage? That just doesn't sound like a ninja at all." Anna said confused with Zack's definition of a ninja.

"The ones that fight evil Japanese spirits, or evil galactic aliens, with the powers of, Aka JA! Ao JA! Ki JA! Shiro JA! Momo JA! NINJA! Ninja Issen!" Zack yelled dramatically.

"Ok. I get the Japanese spirits, or Youkai. But why evil aliens?" Anna asked.

"Because Anna, aliens fighting ninjas would be awesome!" Zack said, imagining himself killing an alien with a katana.

"You have one big imagination Zack. I bet you can a make a train made out of rainbows with it." Anna said, smiling at her friend.

"Sure do. Anyway, you mind if I read that book? I really am curious about what ninja adventures are written in those pages." Zack said.

"Well sure. I'm sure Blake wouldn't mind. I mean it's just a book, nothing could ever be that vile." Anna said, oblivious to what was written inside the pages.

"Thanks Anna. So now that all of team RWBY is here, what do we do now?" Zack asked, tucking the book away in his book bag.

"I have no clue. I mean, the only way we know what to do is unless we get the scrolls. Plus, we don't even know what they look like." Anna said.

"Don't worry about it, because we got this!" Zack said, holding up a well detailed drawing of a scroll.

"Zack! How did you get this!?" Anna asked surprised by this.

"I got it from Mia. While she was talking with Weiss, Weiss told her about the problem, so Mia asked her to describe what a scroll looks like. She ended up drawing a splitting image of it, that it got the Schnee seal of approval. You know, I was suspecting something more paper like." Zack said.

"Well now we know what it looks like, the only problem is finding them." Anna said.

"I'm sure they will turn up eventually." Zack said.

"Zack. It's highly unlikely that we will OH MY SLIFER!" Anna yelled, getting out of her chair.

"What about Slifer?" Zack asked.

"Look over there! That new guy! Ethan! Look what he has in his hands!" Anna yelled, pointing at Ethan, who was sitting at a nearby table.

Ethan was just sitting in his chair minding his own business, and was examining something in his hand. They looked like four transparent phone like devices, and it didn't take long for Zack to realize what they were.

"Are those….scrolls?" Zack asked, surprised from what he was seeing.

"Uh huh. I think we should have a nice talk with this guy." Anna said getting out her chair, as Zack followed.

Ethan continued to stare at the devices we was not familiar with and kept questioning himself what they were. He then noticed both Anna and Zack approaching him. He wonder what they want, but he did know he was going to judge them, and see if they were worth his time. He doesn't like it when people waste his time.

"Uh, h-hello Ethan. I'm Anna, and this is my friend Zack." Anna stammered, as she was a bit nervous, when talking to Ethan.

"What's up man?" Zack asked, having no fear of all.

"Something I can do for the both you?" Ethan asked, uninterested about the conversation.

"Well, um, you see, those devices in your hands, t-they be-l-ong to a friend of ours, a-and we were won-dering if you could give them back?" Anna asked, as she was sweating bullets talking to this man.

"Chill out Anna. You're going into freak stage 1. You're going to end up rubbing this guy the wrong way." Zack whispered to Anna, clenching both of his teeth.

"I can't help it! You know I tense up when talking to new people." Anna whispered back.

The last sentence caught just a little of Ethan's attention, in a bad way, as he then gave off an intimidating glare, as his yellow eyes narrow at both Anna and Zack. Anna just stared at Ethan with a nervous look.

"So you say these items belong to your friends. Where are these said friends?" Ethan asked, glaring menacingly at the two kids.

"T-they aren't here right now. They sent u-us to pick them up. Right Zack?" Anna said, franticly.

"Uh huh." Zack said, as he nodded casually.

"Well that sounds awfully suspicious. Are you lying to me? And if you are, I'll make you regret it." Ethan said, standing up, as he looked even more intimidating than before.

"Oh geez. This guy is so darn scary. Stay calm Anna. Stay calm. Sir, I can assure you that we are telling the truth. Besides, you don't have proof that we are lying." Anna said, trying to keep a cool head.

Ethan than looked directly into Anna's eyes. They showed signs of fear, but yet courage, and determination. Most dishonorable people don't have these kind of traits mixed in with fear. He also knew it would be unreasonable not to give them a chance to prove themselves. Although he thought it would be nothing more than a waste of his time. However, when he looked at Zack, it was kind of hard to know what this guy was thinking of, as his eyes were very carefree.

"Alright then. There is one way you can convince me that you're telling me the truth. You have a deck?" Ethan asked, as he then pulled out his deck.

"Oh. Now you're speaking our language!" Zack said, as he smashed his fist together.

"I guess you two are both duelist as well. Judging you will be much easier for me, and will save me some time. I'll duel you Anna, since it was you who asked me for these strange devices. I'll give them to you if you beat me. However, lose, then you'll surrender your deck to me." Ethan said, as the last part caught Anna and Zack by surprise.

"Wait. What kind of condition is that!? Are you trying to steal Anna's deck?" Zack asked, as he was furious with the claim.

"Steal a deck? Oh please, as if I would do something like that. You see, if you happened to lose this duel, it will convince me you have been lying and dishonorable to this very game. In my eyes, any dishonorable duelist doesn't deserve to have a duel monster deck. Also, if you don't have anything to lose, you won't play as if your life depended on it." Ethan said.

"That's crazy! You're crazy! Judging a person from one lost is just wrong!" Anna yelled.

"There is no guarantee of knowing ones true thoughts and beliefs. That's why I choose to see them face to face on the battlefield. The actions, their responses, and their emotions are all done based on the drive to win, and to be the last duelist standing. That is where a duelist shows their true intentions." Ethan said, as some of his words made sense. They angered Anna and Zack, but at the same time, it actually held meaning.

"Well, I don't know if I should." Anna said, doubting herself.

"Oh. Does that mean you're going to give up?" Ethan asked, unaware of Anna's trigger word.

At that moment, Ethan found himself face to face to a more serious and angered Anna, who was staring directly at his face, and her eyes glowed intensely with rage. Ethan was surprised as he did not suspect Anna having a more ferocious side to her. He originally though she had no mettle, but now, he was intrigued.

"Don't ever tell me to give up. I can't even stand to hear those words in that order. Mark my words Ethan Hono. If it is a duel you want. Then I'll Duel you with everything I've got, and I will defeat you, as punishment for insulting me. If you want to see what kind of duelist I am, then I'll gladly show you." Anna said, in a more serious tone.

At that moment, Ethan face was one of surprised as he didn't know what to say at first. Then, he began laughing, but not because he didn't think Anna could beat him, but rather she actually might give him a duel that he where he can go at full force.

"You're an interesting little girl. I'll give you that. So I suppose that's a yes to my challenge?" Ethan asked, now smiling just a little.

"Of course. How else will I'll be able to beat you?" Anna said, with her stern expression.

"Uh Anna. Can you cool down for just a sec?" Zack asked, as Anna sometimes frightens him when she's like this.

"Then it's settled. We'll have our duel tomorrow. Meet me at the Jeweler Mall at six o'clock in the evening. Later Annie." Ethan said, as he then got up and walked away.

"IT'S ANNA! NOT ANNIE!" Anna yelled, as she blushed a little.

As Ethan Hono disappeared from Anna and Zack's view, Gallant then appeared by his side.

"That was quite unexpected of you. Normally, you don't' accept challenges like these." Gallant said.

"I can't believe it either. There's just something in that girl's eyes. However, I can never lose to a dishonorable opponent, and I'll judge her, whether or not she is worthy to be called a duelist." Ethan said, as he then clenched his right fist.

"You really are something Mr. Hono. Anyway, I'm going to tell my men to get ready for the duel. Don't underestimate her Ethan. I sensed something else from her." Gallant said, as he disappeared.

Ethan didn't mind Gallant's words. All he wanted to do now was to go home, but there were still two more classes. He wasn't expecting much for tomorrow, but he expected that something was bound to be interesting.

(After School)

Anna was now looking really depressed as she was slumped forward, as she walked towards the exit with Zack.

"What in the world was I thinking?! Accepting a challenge like that without even thinking it through, and without consulting with team RWBY about it! I'm such an idiot!" Anna complained.

"It's not your fault Anna. You completely become unreasonable when you're like that. Plus, you really get fired up when you're like that. So does this mean you're going to give up?" Zack asked, as purposefully said those words.

At that moment, Anna grabbed him by the collar, and looked straight into his eyes.

"ANNA YUNO DOES NOT GIVE UP! I'M GOING TO FIGHT THAT GUY, AND SHOW HIM THAT I AM A DUELIST, TO NOT TAKE LIKELY!" Anna yelled.

"Now that's the Anna I want! Can you please let go of me? It's starting to hurt." Zack said, as he was trying not to cry.

"Oh. I'm so sorry!" Anna said, dropping Zack.

"*cough*. It's okay. Anyway, my mom will be here soon to pick me up. Fair warning, after last night, she's a little bit on edge." Zack said.

"Hi Anna. Hi Zackery." Miko said, appearing behind the two kids.

"GGGAAAAAHHHHHH!" Anna screamed.

"Hi mom." Zack said, unfazed by his mother's sudden appearance.

"Will you please stop doing that!?" Anna yelled.

"Doing what?" Miko asked.

"Never mind." Anna replied.

"Ok. Did you enjoy your time at school Zac…?" Miko was about to say, until a rude man bumped into her.

"HEY! WATCH WERE WALKING BUDDY! I'M TRYING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH MY SON!" Miko yelled, as her mood then shifted to one of anger so quickly.

"Look lady, why don't you…" The man was about reply, but didn't get a chance.

"NO YOU LISTEN HERE MISTER! I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT WORK ON MY HANDS EVER SINCE MY HOUSE GOT FLOODED. I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING MULTIPLE ORDERS FOR CLOTHES AND REPAIRS, AND MOST OF MY EMPLOYEES ARE TAKING THE DAY OFF! ALL I WANT IS SOME PEACE AND QUIET, AND HERE YOU COME, WALKING INTO ME, WITH LITTLE REGARD FOR ANYONE'S SAFTEY! SO SHUT UP AND WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, OR ELSE I'LL FREAKING SMASH YOUR PUNY HEAD!" Miko yelled, in rage, as she then crushed a water bottle in her hand, sending the cap flying in the sky.

The man nearly wet his pants, as then ran away from Miko, completely terrified of her. He even called her a demon at one point.

"So. How was day anyway Zack?" Miko asked, as she became calmer all of sudden.

"Pretty much the same thing. Classes, work and all of that stuff. What about you?" Zack asked.

"It's amazing that Zack can actually deal with a mom like that." Anna thought, as she was terrified of her previous rant.

"To tell you the truth. It was a huge pain! Constantly working all day, taking multiple phone calls about the house. I'm telling you kid, it was not a fun day. Geez. I feel like my aging process is starting to accelerate. And blah blah blah blah blah blah…" Miko said, in the tone of a rebellious teenager, as she then went on a rant about the horrible things in life of being an adult and parent, which seemed to last for an eternity.

"Sounds rough. Well see you later Anna." Zack said, as he then walked off with his mom, who was still ranting.

Anna then waved back. While she waited for Victoria to get the bike, she wonder what she was going to do about Ethan Hono. She could back out, but she hated that option, and she would eventually find herself going face to face with him. It wasn't just that. Anna could tell he was strong, and even stronger than the Grimm. Losing her deck would be a major setback for team RWBY, as being in the possession of another duelist would mess them up. Plus, Ethan only said he would take her deck, not use it, meaning the worst case scenario is that team RWBY wouldn't be used ever again. Just then Victoria came up with the bike to take her home.

"You ready to go home little sis?" Victoria asked.

"Yeah. Victoria? Is it okay if I talk to you about something?" Anna asked.

"We can talk on the way home." Victoria said.

As the two sisters mounted the bike, Anna began telling everything that happened to her so far. Victoria was a bit surprised of what happened, and of the man Ethan Hono. She then regained her composure, as the two continued to bike home.

"I see. So you plan on dueling this man tomorrow?" Victoria asked.

"I'm not sure. I don't like backing down from a challenge, but at the same time, I don't want to lose team RWBY." Anna said.

"That is a big pickle. But that didn't stop you from fighting the Grimm, when team RWBY's life was on the line. So what's the difference?" Victoria asked.

"It's just that the way he talked, and the way he acted. Unlike the Grimm, he appears to have experience of dueling, and looks like he has been through multiple duels." Anna said, as she looked down at the pedals.

"Look Anna. Zack and I have faith that you can win, and team RWBY will probably have the same feelings when you tell them about this. However, what's is important is that you have faith in yourself. When people believe in you, it's just support for your morale to do what you want to accomplish. Then, it is up to us to choose the choice, as their support influences it. When we have complete faith in ourselves, we start to believe we can do anything. It's a nice feeling, but risky. But doing so helps us keep going straight. I won't stop you from whatever you want to do, as you have my permission to either take the challenge or fallback. Just so you know, what you do next, is entirely up to you." Victoria said.

"You know sis, you sound like some ancient wise monk." Anna said, comforted by her sister's words.

"What do you want me to do? Shave my head till I'm bald?" Victoria said, jokingly.

The two sisters then laughed. After laughing, Anna thought about what her sister said. Ethan Hono said the only reason why he would take her deck if she lost, would be because she had no honor. He wanted to see what kind of duelist she was. To prove to Ethan she was strong, she then decided to build a deck to resemble her will as a duelist, with team RWBY as the ace cards. The two sisters then arrived home, as Anna quickly dismounted the bike, and headed for her room.

"Thanks for the talk Vic! I'm going to go beyond my limits, and have complete faith in myself, and make sure to doubt once in a while!" Anna said, as she then dashed off.

"Still my little sister. Now then, time to try that new recipe I found online." Victoria said, as she headed for the kitchen.

(Yuno Residence)

Back at the house, team RWBY just had a talk with Neos, and they felt relieved that everyone back at home didn't had to worry. What Ozpin was going to say to everyone was true after all. They were on sort of training mission. Just in a different dimension. That used a card game to fight. Yang was busy playing a fighting videogame on Alex's console. He sure had a lot a large collection. Blake was pacing around in circles in the living room, nervous about what was going to happen with her book. Ruby and Weiss were looking at Anna's card collection.

"Anna sure does have a lot of cards. Some of them look a lot older than most." Ruby said, comparing two monsters that look like they were produced in different timelines.

"I guess that means that this game has existed for quite some time." Weiss said looking at several Spell-Caster type monsters.

While Ruby was looking among the cards. One of them caught her eye. Upon reading the name of the card, she began snickering. Weiss then notices this, as Ruby was also looking at her, while trying to hold back her laughter.

"I'm probably going to regret saying this, but what's so funny Ruby?" Weiss asked.

"Weiss. I think I found your long lost sister. The resemblance is pretty uncanny." Ruby said, holding up the card.

Upon seeing the card, Weiss head turned bright red, and there was also hints of annoyance. The card showed a beautiful woman, with pale white skin, wearing a white dress, with a light purple skirt, that came with a brooch with a red gem, and pink crystals. On her waist was a yellow ring, with another red gem, and another pink crystal. On her arms, she wore a pair pink gloves, and each of them had blue gems. There was also a long yellow crystal bracelet along her arms. She also had a yellow necklace with a green gem in the center, and a pink crystal tiara on her head. Her eyes were covered by her silver colored hair, which when down to the lower end of her upper body, and spread out, and it seemed like her hair was shining. As for weaponry, she wielded an icicle staff. What made the artwork beautiful was with all the snowflakes surrounding her. The card's name was Ice Queen. (I'm not joking here. There is a literal card in the Yugioh card game, named "Ice Queen". Just figured I might make a joke about this with the heiress, just for fun).

Ice Queen
[LV: 8] [Attribute: Water]
Spellcaster/Effect
ATK: 2900 DEF: 2100

While the monster did look beautiful to Weiss, it really annoyed her that there was a monster that had the same annoying nickname that people come to call her, due to her personality.

"Oh man! I've got to show this to Yang! Yang, check out what I found!" Ruby yelled, as she bolted out of the door.

"Don't you dare Ruby Rose! I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life!" Weiss yelled.

Weiss then used her glyphs to close the door shut before Ruby could escape.

"GIVE ME THAT CARD!" Weiss yelled, as she then lunged towards Ruby.

Ruby then performed a combat roll and used her semblance to jump on the bed.

"You're going have to catch me." Ruby said cheerfully.

"RUBY ROSE!" Weiss yelled, as her eyes became frosty. Scary, but not scary as Yang.

"Uh oh." Ruby said. It was at this moment that she knew, she messed with the wrong Ice Queen.

Ruby was then running around the room, tripping over some objects, as an enraged Weiss came after her. Weiss used multiple glyphs to maneuver around the room, to try and keep up with Ruby. Ruby up against the door of the bedroom, as she was paralyzed with fear, as an angry Weiss slowly walked up to her. Since she was tiny, it was really hard to take the scene seriously.

"Come on Weiss it was just a joke. Forgive me?" Ruby said.

"NO! I HAVE HAD IT WITH PEOPLE CALLING ME ICE QUEEN, AND THAT CARD JUST BRINGS IT DOWN LOWER! THIS WON'T KILL YOU, AND IT WON'T BE PAINFUL! THIS JUST REPRESENTS ALL THE ANGER I HAVE BOTTLE UP INSIDE OF ME! (So this is what Yang feels like when someone calls her fat). Weiss said.

"Weiss turned into Yang!" Ruby thought.

Weiss made a glyph and brought a pillow to it. She planned to put a lot of force into the pillow, to give Ruby a piece of her mind, but at the same time, not mortally wound her.

"A pillow? Is that the best you could do?" Ruby asked, feeling relieve.

The pillows then multiplied.

"Oh." Ruby replied.

Weiss then gave out a battle cry, sending a barrage of pillows towards Ruby. If it worked, Ruby would be buried under a huge pile of pillows, which might be comfy, but cramped at the same time. A perfect way to represent your anger without hurting someone but at the same time, getting your point across. However, the doors suddenly opened, as Anna appeared in the doorway.

"Hey girls! I'm BBBBBBAAAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!" Anna screamed, as she was then bombarded by multiple fluffy pillows, and was soon then buried underneath the pile of pillows.

Weiss and Ruby had shock looks on their faces, as they saw their duelist getting possibly hurt, for something she didn't do. Yang and Blake came up and saw Anna's face sticking out of the pillow pile, and she had swirls in her eyes.

"Well, if Anna was looking forward to taking a nap, then I say that she got what she wanted." Yang said.

"I'm not going to even ask." Blake said.

After Anna regained consciousness, Weiss deeply apologized to Anna for the bombardment. Anna accepted it, and had Ruby apologize to Weiss in turn. Anna and team RWBY then traded their respected stories with one another. Anna was surprised that team RWBY met Neos again, as well as a god, but team RWBY was more surprised about Anna's upcoming duel, within the next two days.

"This man name Ethan Hono has our scrolls!?" Weiss yelled.

"And you're going to duel this guy in tomorrow, to prove you're not lying!?" Yang yelled.

"And if you lose, you have to surrender your deck!?" Ruby yelled.

"And you accepted it all because he told you to give up!?" Blake said.

"Yeah. Sorry about that. I just hate does words with a burning passion. Just thinking about burns me up. I hate it with all my might, that I were a goddess, I would give it a divine punishment!" Anna said, as she clenched her fists.

She then noticed team RWBY backing away from her.

"Sorry. I just start acting like Yang, if she had her hair chopped off." Anna said.

"Oh, that's only for a strand. You haven't seen what would happen to the poor fellow who would be stupid enough to do that." Yang said.

"I don't think we would want to. So what do you plan to do Anna?" Blake asked.

"Simple. I'm going to beat this guy, and prove my strength. I also have a favor to ask. Will girls please be part of my deck? I know that if we win, we earn the scrolls, and if we lose, I will lose the deck I use. But I want to prove my strength, I want to fight Ethan with everything I got. If I can't use you guys properly in a duel, I have no right to be your duelist. I know this might be selfish of me, but please be a part of my deck!" Anna pleaded.

Team RWBY then shared looks with one another. Ruby then walked up to Anna, and looked face to face to her.

"Anna. You don't have to ask. You don't have to prove anything to us. We're your spirits, and we're sticking together to the end." Ruby said.

"You question if you're worthy of being our duelist. Then prove yourself in this duel that you can master us in battle." Weiss said, glaring at Anna.

"You earn my trust. So I trust you that will win with us. Now trust yourself that you'll win." Blake said.

"I was starting to get a little bored anyway! I could use the workout, and with your skills, I bound to get fired up." Yang said.

Anna then looked up at team RWBY. These girls had faith that she would win. She then remembered Victoria's words: when people have faith in you, have faith in yourself. She then smiled, and held back her tears as she then gave RWBY a huge hug. Meanwhile, Victoria was eavesdropping from behind the door smiling.

"My little sister is growing up. Although I feel like I forgot something. AH! The casserole! I left it in the oven to long!" Victoria yelled, as she ran downstairs, to save what was left of the casserole.

"Thank you so much. You girls are like the best thing that has happened to me." Anna said.

"Come on Anna. Don't get mushy on us." Yang said.

"Unhand me." Weiss demanded.

Dinner was skipped that night, as no one wanted to eat the burnt food. After the moment passed, Anna quickly got out her deck, and laid all the cards on her desk. She didn't had much homework to do. She then set the RWBY exclusive cards to the sides: the tuners, synchros, and the one support card. She began examining every card in the deck, to see which ones to cut and what to add. Weiss was looking at the cards with her.

"I'm guessing you like using equip cards?" Weiss said.

"Yeah. I just like to power up my monsters, but I sometimes rely on them too much." Anna said.

"So how are you going to do this Anna?" Ruby asked.

"Well, considering deck has to focus around you guys, and there are only four tuners, I might need to use less cards, and try to stick around 40 to 45 cards. Using 60 cards in a deck gives you more options, but the option become scattered." Anna said.

"Interesting. So you could use fewer cards to get guarantee draws, or you can use more cards for more options, and both have their downfalls." Blake said.

"Yep. Just like how a ninja balances out stealth and attack." Anna said.

Upon hearing that, Blake realized that she still doesn't know what has happened to her book.

"ANNA! DID YOU READ THE NINJAS OF LOVE BOOK!?" Blake yelled, hoping she didn't.

"You mean that ninja book? Well I didn't get a chance to look at it, so no." Anna said.

"Oh thank god. Where is it now?" Blake asked, as she thought she was in the clear.

"I gave it to Zack. He said he wanted to read it." Anna said.

"YOU GAVE IT TO ZACK!?" Blake yelled, as the book being Zack hands, seems way worse than Anna reading it.

"Relax Blake. He'll give it back. I mean it's just ninjas, how bad could it be?" Anna asked.

Blake only stood in place, as she dreaded the worst. Having Anna reading the book may of cause a little conflict, but Zack. That was equivalent of Armageddon to her. Well maybe it might be an over exaggeration, but Zack is highly unpredictable. Anything could happen with him. Blake then shook her head, and decided to deal with it later, when the time comes. She then notice several blank cards on the other side of Anna's desk.

"Hey Anna, what are those cards over there?" Blake asked.

"Oh. Those are just some blank cards. I founded in my hand yesterday, although I don't know what to do with them." Anna said, as she examined multiple cards in her deck.

Curious, the rest of team RWBY walked over to the cards, and each picked up one at a time, inspecting it.

"They're all blank. Why would a person have cards like these?" Ruby asked.

"Maybe they were bad products that weren't finished." Yang said.

"No that's not the case. I sense something from these cards." Weiss said, looking right at the card.

Ruby, Blake, and Yang were curious about what Weiss said. Weiss was busy thinking. She then remembered that some duel monster cards are filled with spiritual energy, or simply put: a soul. She then had a theory. Weiss closed her eyes, and then activated her aura. The card began to react to Weiss' aura, as it began to glow. A picture on the card then formed on the card, as Weiss concentrated even harder. Everyone else in the room was watching in awe, but covered their eyes from the brightness. Anna fell out of her chair, after being surprised of what Weiss was doing. Yang had her sunglasses on. When the light died down, everyone opened their eyes to find Weiss holding the same card, but it was now a spell card. It was another Huntress card.

"How…did you…do that?" Anna stammered as she was completely unprepared for this.

"Quite simple. Neos told us that some duel monster cards have spiritual energy, and considering aura is somewhat similar to it, I figured that we can unlock the spiritual energy of these cards with our aura." Weiss explained.

"That's amazing Weiss! You really are a genius!" Anna said, admiring Weiss.

"Well…it was only natural that it would work." Weiss said blushing just a little.

"That was so cool! I have got try this!" Ruby said, as she then did the same thing as Weiss.

"Careful Ruby, I suggest you…" Weiss was about to say.

The same bright light then surged from the room. Just like before another card appeared, and it was a trap card this time. However, Ruby then collapsed as she looked exhausted.

"Why…am I…so tired?" Ruby asked, lying flat on her back.

"I was going to tell you to use just a little of your aura. Instead, you ended up depleting most of it. Then again, it was your first time, so I'll give you a pass." Weiss said.

"My turn!" Yang yelled, as she did the same exact thing making another trap card.

Anna examine the card and then thought of something.

"What's wrong Anna? You don't like it?" Yang asked.

"No it's not that. I'm just wondering what would happen if you girls channeled your aura all at the same time." Anna said.

"That sounds pretty interesting. But we don't know what'll happen if we try." Blake said.

"I say we go for it!" Yang said.

"I'm not sure if we should. It may cause damage to the item receiving the energy." Weiss said.

"Weiss. It's just a card. It's not an actual living being." Yang said.

"Alright. Fine then. We just have to wait for Ruby to regain her strength." Weiss said, looking at their leader.

"I'll be alright…just give me…five more minutes." Ruby said.

After twenty minutes past. Ruby felt better again, and the huntresses then decided to start with five cards, to make sure the aura they use wouldn't overload the card. They then closed their eyes, and placed their hands on the cards, as each of their respective auras glowed. The combination of all four auras, resulted in a spectrum of colors of red, white, black and yellow to be emitted from the cards. When the light died down, the cards were now hovering in mid-air. The cards then hovered to Anna's hands and, stopped glowing after that. Team RWBY drained after the ritual. Anna then smiled like a little kid at a candy store.

"Girls! From this point on, I'm going to make the best Huntress deck in the world, and nothing is going to stop me!" Anna yelled with passion.

"Yeah!" Team RWBY cheered in unison.

Anna then stretch her hands, and then put on a head band that had the kanji of "takumi" on it. Team RWBY then began making a couple more cards, but decided to save some for later, just in case if they needed specific cards.

"Let's do this." Anna said, as she got her game face on.

(The next Day)

While school was in session. Ethan had to take the day off for some reason, as his excuse note from his parents said that he was assaulted by stray cats for the fish he was bringing home for dinner. Ethan however also left a note for Anna saying they were still going to duel. As for the "Ninjas of Love" book, Zack really didn't get it, as most of the smutty content was really vague to him. Blake was very glad that Zack was very oblivious about the reading, but immediately went pale when he told her that Mia decided to read it, and that she would like to have a nice chat with her tomorrow. Unlike Zack, Mia was smarter for her age, and who knows what she was going to say. Elsewhere, three teenagers were walking around the city. Two males and one female, and they all had red eyes. One male with his hair covering some of his eyes, seemed to be thinking hard. The female was glaring at him with an annoyed look, while the other male was just standing next to them with an emotionless gaze.

"Hidou. We're lost, aren't we?" Siren asked.

"No. We….uh…took a detour. The lair should be coming up soon." Hidou said.

"There's no point Hidou. I can smell fear, and you're covered head to toe in it." Siren said crossing her arms.

"OK, Fine! But it wasn't my all my fault! You're were the one who lost the map, after you left it at the sheriff's office!" Hidou yelled.

"I was busy writing a note, and brushing off my clothes! I refuse to look hideous in public. Besides Shinrai…he…um…actually, he did nothing." Siren said.

"I was following the both of you." Shinrai said calmly.

"Not helping. By the way, if Liege asks why we're late, I'm blaming you Siren." Hidou said.

"ME! You're the one who said "Don't worry, leave it to me. We'll be back in no time" is what you said. AND THIS ISN'T THE LAIR!" Siren said, mimicking Hidou's voice.

"WHY YOU LITTLE FILTHLY SAD EXCUSE FOR A GRIMM!" Hidou yelled.

At that moment, Siren and Hidou were staring at each other intensely, as a spark was seen between their heads. Shinrai then walked up to the two, as he then used his hands to lengthen the distance between their heads.

"Stop fighting. You guys are creating a flick." Shinrai said.

"It's "scene" Shinrai, not "flick". Wait, what was that last part?" Hidou asked.

Shinrai and Hidou stopped their fighting to realize that some folks were staring at them. After a brief moment of awkward silence. The two Grimm just crossed their arms, and looked away from each other. Just then, Jay came down and perched on Shinrai's shoulder.

"*Tweet* *chirp* *tweet*. Jay said to Shinrai.

"Huh. That is indeed frustrating." Shinrai said.

"What exactly did he say?" Siren asked.

"He says we've been going in the opposite direction this entire time. The lair is actually that way. At least 5 miles away." Shinrai said, pointing in the opposite direction.

Hidou and Siren just jaw dropped after hearing the horrible news. Hidou then let out a roar that was so loud, that it scarred the living daylights out of everyone. Siren just clenched her fist and began saying words that were a little inappropriate.

"RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!" Hidou yelled.

"************, I CAN STAND THIS *********, FREAKING ************, GOSH DARN **************, STUPID CITY!" Siren yelled, causing multiple mothers to cover the ears of their kids.

Jay then pecked Shinrai gently, as he then pointed towards another man. When Shinrai examine the man, he felt a massive surge of anger emitted from him. It was highly unnatural for a human. He also saw a dark aura formed around them. Behind him was Siren and Hidou fighting, as they were blaming each other for their current predicament.

"That man has dark dust." Shinrai said, causing both Grimm to stop fighting in place, with Hidou yanking Siren's hair, and Siren stretching his mouth.

The two Grimm then ran up to Shinrai's side and saw the man. The man was wearing a black jacket, a red Mohawk, and black pants. The three Grimm exchanged looks, and then went after the man. However, a group of people came up in front of them, and then weren't happy.

"You kids are causing a lot of trouble." A man said.

"Who are you're parent?" A woman asked.

"What are you? Animals?!" Another person said.

"In a weird way, we sort of are a little bit like animals back on remnant." Siren thought in her head.

"Stop acting like monsters and disrupting the society." An old man yelled.

"Kind of ironic considering we are monsters and disrupting the society is what we do on a daily basis. Like how that one time I went on a killing spree in one of those villages. It's like our job." Hidou thought in his head.

The three Grimm were surround by a couple of people within the district, who had little tolerance for their behavior. One person was about to call sector security about the problem, and Shinrai took notice.

"They're going to call the law on us." Shinrai said, sounding a bit to calm about it.

"This is bad. We can't get arrested! We'll be the laughing stock in the Grimm army!" Hidou said.

"But we can't attack these people with duel monsters. It might draw too much attention." Shinrai said.

"Only one thing to do now. We kill'em." Siren said, smashing her right fist, into her left palm.

"That the opposite of keeping a low profile." Shinrai.

"So what do we do? By the way, I've got a dagger if they start getting closer." Hidou whispered.

Shinrai only looked at the angry mob, and he felt a huge amount of anger coming off of them. He really didn't seem to care though, because it was hard to judge what he was thinking with his emotionless expression he always has. He then reached into his pocket and took out the dark dust he got from last night. The mob then backed away slowly, cautious of what he was doing. He then raised his right hand, holding the dust, and had it emit a large flash of light. The mob just stood in place for a moment, and then went back to walking as if nothing had happened.

"Shinrai…what exactly did you do? Just to let you know, I'm not complaining." Siren asked.

"I channeled some of my energy into to the dust to absorb their anger, which caused the humans forget what just happened, erasing all their memories about us." Shinrai said.

"Pretty nifty of you Shinrai. So were did that man ran off to again?" Hidou said.

"I sent Jay after him, so when he finds out where he is, he'll send me a signal to move closer, or come where he is." Shinrai said.

"What kind of signal will he send?" Siren asked.

"He said he'll come up with something, so all we do is wait." Shinrai said.

The three Grimm then just stood in place as they quite didn't know what to do. Normally, if they had bodies of Grimm, they would just probably go on a killing spree with Siren and Hidou having a competition in the process. A couple more seconds of awkward silence went by, until Siren spoke up.

"You guys want to get something to eat?" Siren asked.

"Yeah. I'm pretty hungry. I saw a burger joint a couple streets." Hidou said.

Shinrai's stomach then growled as he then started walking towards the burger joint.

"I'll take that as a yes from Shinrai. By the way, do we have money?" Hidou asked.

"Liege lend us some. It should be enough to cover for lunch, considering it's only a burger joint." Siren said.

"And Shinrai is just as exciting as a rock, that nothing bad will happen with him." Hidou said.

Unfortunately, Shinrai was chatting with the cashier woman, who was giving suggestion to Shinrai about making his order. Shinrai's response to all of her questions was "yes" or "sure". Siren and Hidou were able to stop him, and manage to make it out with only with one dollar and eleven cents. Siren wanted to kill the cashier, but was held back by Hidou and Shinrai.

(Jeweler Mall)

Jeweler Mall. Despite its name, it's just your average everyday mall. It just has more jewelry stores than clothing stores. The mall was a place where many craftsman in gems and other special rocks come to sell their fabulous designs. Right now Anna was waiting for Ethan to come, as she came fifteen minutes early just in case. Zack was giving team RWBY a tour of the mall, and Weiss had sparkles in her eyes, just staring at the all the gems. Mia was also there, and she kept giving Blake the evil eye. Right now the both of them were having a little chat. For Blake, it felt like an eternity. Ruby and Yang were a bit bored as some of the stores didn't really interest them.

"The people here have great craftsmanship when it comes to gems. It's incredible!" Weiss said.

"Yep! Jewel City is a place where all jewelry geeks can come and feel at home." Zack said.

"Are you calling geek?" Weiss asked, as this was the first time someone called her that.

"I said it once and I'll say it again. You're a jewelry geek." Zack said, with no hesitation.

"Something wrong Weiss?" Yang asked.

"Nothing. I just don't how react to that. No one has ever called me a geek before. That what everyone says to Ruby, when she starts getting into weapons. It feels weird. I like gems and Jewelry, but I don't act like Ruby when geeks she out." Weiss said.

"I guess Zack has low standards for describing people." Yang said, as Weiss nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile with Blake and Mia, the atmosphere was a little tense. Last night, Zack was trying to read the "Ninja" book, but didn't really understand anything. He only saw ninjas as brutal silent killers of justice, like from his other ninja books. Reading this only confused him. He then asked Mia to help him. After reading the book, Mia's face turned red form just reading the first couple of pages. Now here she was sitting in front of Blake at nearby table, and she had her arms crossed, with straight face, with her eye's covered in the shades.

"Blake. You have an interesting choices books, like the one I found in Zack's possession." Mia said, trying to sound intimidating, but since she had the voice of a twelve year old girl, it really wasn't that scary. It was hard for Blake to take the situation seriously, but Mia's tone was very negative.

"Well, you see Mia, it's just a hobby that I do in secret. I mean, yes it may seem a bit much, but I'm in it for the romantic scenes." Blake said.

"If you ask me, it's a bit too romantic. You better be glad that Zack only payed attention to the guy's actual Katana." Mia said.

"How do you even know all this!? You're only twelve years old!" Blake yelled, wondering why Mia would know all these mature topics.

"My mom accidentally gave me the talk at the age of 7! It was a big misunderstanding, so I lost my innocence at a very young age." Mia said, as she shivered a little.

"Wow. That must have been rough for you." Blake said, feeling a bit sorry for Mia.

"Those seven days were the hardest for me. My mom eventually made it up for me, after we went on an all-girls night with my grandma. It was pretty nic-HEY! Don't you dare change the subject! As punishment, I'm confiscating you book, until till you're old enough!" Mia said.

"Since when did you became my mom? Besides I'm pretty mature myself, and I'm sure I can handle that content." Blake said, calmly.

"Blake. If there is one thing I hate, it's sexual R-rated material! It's is poison to our brains, and it will invoke the sins of lust! I also forbid my siblings from seeing this sort of content, and if I discover any more in your possession, I'll teach you a lesson. Understand?" Mia said, with an intimidating glare.

"Yes ma'am! Did I just get lecture by a twelve year old?" Blake asked herself.

"Good. I'm glad we could have this talk Blake. Well, you better get ready for the duel. Good luck." Mia said, as her face turned to one of glee.

"Uh, thanks. She really takes after her mother." Blake said.

After everyone was done exploring, they headed for the duel arena in the mall. After several minutes of waiting Ethan showed up. Anna just looked at him.

"So, you came. That shows you willing to go up against me. Respectable. But if you want to prove to me that you're telling the truth and you want these scrolls, you're going to beat me." Ethan said.

"Believe me. This duel will end with your defeat." Anna said.

"Look forward to Annie." Ethan said.

'IT'S ANNA! AN-NA!" Anna yelled.

"Yeah, whatever. By the way, do you four little girls standing next to you?" Ethan said.

"You can see them?" Zack asked surprised.

"Judging by your reaction, I'm guessing they're spirits then. Well, we wasted enough time. I'll be waiting. By the way, don't think about cheating. I'll know." Ethan said as he then walked in the door.

After he went in, team RWBY then expressed their opinions about him.

"Is he some kind of edge-lord?" Ruby asked.

"It's hasn't been five minutes and I already don't like this guy." Weiss said.

"He does look strong, so be on your guard Anna." Blake said.

"He looks cute, and a bit feisty." Yang said, smiling.

"Well good luck Anna. Mia and I will be cheering from the sidelines. I even made this flag with your face on it to show my support." Zack said holding up his flag.

"Please don't. Just stick with normal cheering. Anna has to go through a lot. But nonetheless, just do your best. You've got nothing to lose." Mia said.

"Actually she will lose team RWBY and her new huntress deck if she does lose." Zack said.

"Not helping." Mia said, annoyed.

"Well it's the thought that counts. Well, wish us luck." Anna said, as she and team RWBY entered the arena.

Anna and team RWBY started walking for a while, till they came upon one side of the arena. On the other side stood Ethan in his normally clothing. He then titled his cap up and stared at Anna, and saw she was a brave duelist.

"You ready? If you are, then don't hold back." Ethan said, readying his duel disk.

"After everything you said to me yesterday and today, I'm planning to show you what I'm capable of." Anna said, placing her disk on her left arm.

"You better. I hate it when people waste my time." Ethan said.

"Jeez. No need to be rude." Ruby said.

The two duelist then position themselves in a dueling stance and the duel then commenced.

"DUEL" both players yelled.

Turn 1: Anna Yuno
Anna: 4000LP vs Ethan: 4000LP
Anna Hand: 5 vs Ethan Hand: 5

"I follow a gentlemen code, so ladies first." Ethan said.

"Find then. Today is the day the huntress deck is known to the world!" Anna said.

"GO FOR IT ANNA!" Zack yelled waving his flag, as Mia covered her face in embarrassment.

"I can't believe I'm related to you." Mia said.

"What a moron." Weiss said.

"It's the thought that counts." Blake said.

"Knock this guy down!" Ruby cheered.

"Smash him to a pulp!" Yang yelled.

"It would be my pleasure! First, I'm going to summon a new ally! I summon Necro Huntress: Muerta in attack mode!" Anna declared playing one of her new cards.

Necro Huntress: Muerta
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Dark]
[Spellcaster/Effect]
ATK: 1600 DEF: 1700

The monster that appeared on Anna's side of the field was what appeared to be an African female witch, as she then rose out of a portal and spun her staff in a circular motion, and then slamming it down into the ground. She wore a black poncho, with ancient writing on it that glowed, as well as a black dress, with blue lines that ran down the sides. Her arms were wrapped in black markings, and wore finger nail extensions that resembled a skeleton's fingers. Her mouth was covered up by a black mask that showed skeleton teeth, and she had dark purple eyes, and wore a black hood, with her black and brown hair braided. For weaponry, she wielded a wooden staff, with a skull attached to the tip, with a purple orb in its jaw. Team RWBY didn't recognize the huntress, as they never seen her before. Zack and Mia had goosebumps sent down their spines. Ethan however became curious about the monster, as he had never seen this type of card before.

"I am Muerta. The Huntress of necromancy. Death is the greatest beauty of all!" Muerta said.

"O~kay. That was a bit creepy." Yang said.

"Fear not team RWBY. For I and all the others in the deck were created to serve you. It will be my honor to serve you. Also, if you want me to curse someone back on Remnant, I'll be most happy to do so." Muerta said.

"Thanks…but we don't really need to curse anyone." Weiss said.

"So how are you talking to us?" Blake asked.

"I was created from your aura, so I'm able to talk to you whenever Anna duels a person." Muerta explained.

"That's so cool!" Ruby squealed.

"As much as I would like to get to know you, I've got a duel to win. I now play the spell card Shard of Greed. Now during each of my draw phases, I can add a greed counter to this card, and when it has two greed counters, I can send it to the graveyard and draw two cards. I now end my turn." Anna said.

Turn 2: Ethan Hono
Anna: 4000LP vs Ethan: 4000LP
Anna Hand: 3 vs Ethan Hand: 5 +1

(+1 means when a duelist is going to draw on their turn. I made it so no one gets confused.)

"My move then. I draw! I summon Command Knight to my field in attack mode!" Ethan declared, placing his monster on the battlefield.

Command Knight
[LV: 4] [Attribute Fire]
Warrior/Effect
ATK: 1200 DEF: 1900

The monster that appeared was a beautiful female warrior, who wore red armor plating, with feathers in the center and dark gray shirt with a blue small plate at the front of her belt with a green gem. She also had yellow armor attachments on her elbows and knees, and shoulder pads with markings. She also wore a black helmet with four golden feathers attached to the side. She had ginger hair and two gray eyes. For weaponry, she was equipped with a rectangle like shield with triangles and a double edge sword.

"Wow. The girls in the duel monsters universe really do love to use fire." Yang said.

"Whenever Command Knight is on my field all warrior type monsters gain 400 attack points including herself. Meaning her power rises to 1600." Ethan said.

Command Knight: 1200 ATK + 400 ATK = 1600 ATK

"Next I play the Continuous spell card The A. Forces. For every Spellcaster and Warrior type monster that I control, all warrior type monsters gains 200 attack points. So now Command Knight is stronger than your Huntress. Command Knight! Attack Necro Huntress: Muerta! Blazing slash!" Ethan said, extending his arm forward.

The A. Forces
[Spell/Continuous]

Command Knight: 1600 ATK + 200 ATK = 1800 ATK

The A. Forces showed a knight, a maiden, and what appears to be a Viking, fighting an evil dragon, and protecting a young child. Command Knight then rushed towards Muerta and first used his shield to break her guard. Muerta proceeds to swing her staff downward to parry. But being a wooden staff, it was sliced in half, as Command Knight stabbed Muerta in the chest, destroying her.

Anna Yuno: 4000LP – 200LP = 3800LP

"It's kind of hard to see an ally get destroy on our field. It almost feels like they died." Ruby said, with hints of sadness.

"I feel the same Ruby. But remember. This is a card game, so the monsters that get destroyed are like resting in the discard pile until they can be used again." Blake said, comforting Ruby.

"I hope that isn't all you've got. I'm expecting a lot from you, based on what you said to me yesterday. For now I'll play the Continuous Spell Card Supply Squad. Now, once per turn, whenever a monster on my field is destroyed by battle or card effect, I can draw a card, and it effect apply to both of our turns." Ethan explained.

Supply Squad
[Spell/Continuous]

"So when Anna destroys a monster, he will immediately replace it with a new card from his deck. That is quite resourceful." Weiss said.

"You sound more interested in the game than the first time you came here Weiss. I guess someone gotten a little softer." Yang said, nudging Weiss in the arm.

"It's just important for me be attentive to something that is necessary to fight the Grimm in the future." Weiss said.

"That is a very reasonable excuse Weiss." Ruby said.

"It's not an excuse." Weiss quickly stated.

"I set one card facedown to end my turn now. Come at me with full force. Our first turns were nothing but warmups. The real fight starts now. So show me what you got." Ethan said, with a tone of aggression.

"Considered your wish granted!" Anna yelled back.

"You know. This guy is somewhat honorable, but at the same time, he acts little bit like jerk. That's a weird combo, right?" Yang said.

"Isn't that what defines Weiss?" Ruby asked.

"Ruby. You already compared me to a card. Don't go lumping me in same category, with that Ethan guy." Weiss said.

"Sorry Weiss." Ruby said.

"Just as long as you understand, I guess I can forgive you." Weiss said.

"Thank you Weiss. You really are a great friend." Ruby said smiling at Weiss, causing her to just smile a bit.

Turn 3: Anna Yuno
Anna Yuno: 3800LP vs Ethan Hono: 4000LP
Anna Hand: 3 + 1 vs Ethan Hand: 2

"It's my turn now Ethan! I draw, and at this time, my Shard of Greed gains one Greed Counter." Anna said, as a green light lit up above the Shard of Greed card.

Shard of Greed: 1 Counter

"You have a plan Anna?" Weiss asked.

"Weiss. If didn't had a plan, we would be losing. But since I do, victory we one more turn away. Let's try out this card. I play the spell card Huntress Soul! Huntress Soul lets me target one level 4 or below Huntress monster that's in my graveyard, and bring it back. I only got one option, so give a warm welcome to Necro Huntress: Muerta!" Anna declared.

Huntress Soul
[Spell/Normal]

Huntress Soul showed Muerta, raising her left hand, holding an orb of red, white, black and yellow color and her staff emitted an eerie light. A black portal then opened up in front of Anna's field as Muerta returned to the field.

"I activate Muerta's special ability! Whenever she is special summoned from the graveyard, I can add one level 4 or below Huntress or RWBY-Soul card to my hand. I'm adding level 2 RWBY-Soul: Weiss Schnee." Anna said, adding Weiss' tuner form to her hand.

"Wise choice. You won't be disappointed." Weiss said, smiling that she got picked.

"Those little girls are spirits, which in turn means they are all cards. I think this duel might just grabbed some of my attention. Well, just some." Ethan thought.

"Also, since you control more spell and traps than me, I can special summon Weiss from my hand." Anna declared, playing Weiss' card.

RWBY-Soul: Weiss Schnee
[LV: 2] [Attribute: Water]
Spellcaster/Tuner/Effect
ATK: 1200 DEF: 1000

Weiss then entered the battlefield and stood next to Muerta. Weiss felt a little uncomfortable that she had to tune with a Huntress who was fascinated by death, but she decided to just deal with it. Besides, there were a couple of cards in the deck that she herself made and was proud of. Ethan realized that the Weiss is also a tuner, so he wonder what Synchro monster Anna was going to play.

"I now tune Level 2 Weiss Schnee with Level 4 Muerta! Maiden of Dust and Glyphs. Come to my side to vanquish thy foes!" Anna chanted, as Weiss became to green circles, surrounding Muerta, as bright light shot through the rings.

2 + 4 = 6

"I Synchro Summon! Appear! White Snow Huntress: Weiss Schnee!" Anna declared.

White Snow Huntress: Weiss Schnee
[LV: 6] [Attribute: Water]
Spellcaster/Synchro/Effect
ATK: 2400 DEF: 1800

Weiss then appeared on the field in her battle form, standing upright. She then did a couple of stretches, knowing that this would be one of the only times, where she can be in her normal body. Mia was had sparkles in her eyes, as Weiss' true form was beautiful to her.

"It feel good to be able to stand tall again. I really hate that miniaturized form." Weiss said.

"She looks like an actual princess!" Mia said, admiring Weiss even more.

"Are you ok Mia? Do you have fever?" Zack asked.

"Shut up Zack. Don't ruin the moment for me." Mia said, putting her finger on his lips.

"Incredible. So these are the Huntresses. What else can this deck do?" Ethan said to himself.

"I activate the effect RWBY-Soul: Weiss Schnee from my graveyard! Whenever she is used for the synchro summon of White Snow Huntress: Weiss Schnee, I can add one spell card from my graveyard back to my hand. I'm going to add the spell card Huntress Soul back to my hand. Luckily for you, I can only activate this card once per turn. However, since I haven't normal summon yet, I'm going to summon Aerial Recon Huntress: Amelia!" Anna declared summoning her new monster.

Aerial Recon Huntress: Amelia
[LV: 3] [Attribute: Wind]
Warrior/Effect
ATK: 1300 DEF: 1100

The monster that appeared on Anna's field was another female warrior, only this one had a jet pack with silver wings. She wore a dark brown jumpsuit, with a brown flight jacket, and black gloves. She also wore brown boots, with jet booster attachments. Her helmet resembled the head of an eagle. She had brown eyes and brown hair. For weapons, she dual wielded two high tech plasma pistols in her hands.

"Hello everyone! Name's Amelia. The Huntress of the sky. I'll keep the skies safe, and strike down anyone who stands in my way. I'll do my best for team RWBY!" Amelia said, while saluting.

"An aerial based Huntress! You look so amazing!" Ruby said.

"Aw. Thanks for the compliment. If I ever get the chance, would you care to take a ride with me?" Amelia asked, blushing.

"I would love to!" Ruby squealed, imagining flying with Amelia on her jet pack.

"Can we get back to the duel?" Weiss and Ethan asked at the same time.

"Hey! That's what I said! Stop repeating everything I say!" Weiss and Ethan said in unison.

"Ok. This is getting a little scary. Anna have Weiss attack before it gets weirder." Yang said.

"G-got it. Weiss attack Command Knight with…" Anna was about to say.

"I said don't name my attacks." Weiss interrupted, as she then charged towards command knight.

Upon engaging Command Knight, Weiss used her Myrtenaster to make several forward stabs, and then she spin her body multiple times to attack Command Knight who was struggling to parry the attacks. Mia was enthralled with Weiss as she looked like she was dancing gracefully. Weiss then dashed forward, slicing horizontally to Command Knight destroying her.

Ethan Hono: 4000LP – 600LP = 3400LP

Thanks to Supply Squad. I can draw one card, since a monster on my field was destroyed." Ethan said, drawing his card.

"While you're doing that, I'm going to have Amelia attack you directly. Plasma Bombardment!" Anna declared.

Amelia acknowledge Anna's command flying into the air, and firing a barrage of plasma shots at Ethan damaging him, while Ethan shielded himself from the blast.

Ethan Hono 3400LP – 1300LP = 2100LP

"Amelia's effect activates. When she inflict battle damage, I can select one Huntress spell or trap card from my deck and place it face down on the field, but it can't be activate till the end of this turn. I select Huntress Semblance Spirit, and set it on my field." Anna declared

Huntress Semblance Spirit
[Spell/Normal]

Huntress Semblance Spirit showed an astral spirit Ruby Rose with her arms extended, behind an enraged Yang with her semblance activated, and as Rose Petals were surrounding them. The card then turned face-down on the field.

"I'll end my turn by playing one card facedown. Your move Ethan." Anna said.

"That was amazing Anna! You manage to get half of his life points! This duel is too easy!" Ruby cheered.

"I don't know Ruby. Look at Ethan, he doesn't look worried. He's planning something." Blake said, examining him.

Turn 4: Ethan Hono
Anna: 3800LP vs Ethan: 2100LP
Anna Hand: 2 vs Ethan Hand: 3 + 1

"My turn now. I DRAW!" Ethan yelled, as a wave a wind surged through the arena.

"I play the spell card Pot of Greed which lets me draw two more cards." Ethan said, playing the famous Pot of Greed Spell.

Pot of Greed
[Spell/Normal]

The wind was so fierce that Anna could almost feel this man's strength. Ethan looked at what he got, and was pleased.

"The real battle begins now. Now Anna, my inferno has started." Ethan said.

"What do you mean?" Anna asked concerned.

"Let me show you. I'm taking both Scale 7 Igknight Templar, and Scale 2 Igknight Gallant from my hand, to set Pendulum Scale! This duel will about to erupt in flames!" Ethan declared as he placed two monsters on the farthest sides of the disk, as the word "PENDULUM" appeared on the disk.

Igknight Templar
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Fire]
Warrior/Pendulum
Scale [7:7]
ATK: 1700 DEF: 1300

Igknight Gallant
[LV: 6] [Attribute: Fire]
Warrior/Pendulum
Scale [2:2]
ATK: 2100 DEF: 2200

The monsters that appeared were wearing knight like armor, and some armor pieces resembled parts of a gun. Templar black and gray armor pieces, with bronze attachment pieces. Each of his arms were equipped with a gun barrel with ammo cartage of sniper rifle. His shoulder pads had flint spark wheels that made sparks when they are spinning. His mask was triangle shaped, with a narrow red visor. The weapon he was wielding was a Dragnov Sniper Rifle, but instead of a barrel, it was a blade. In this case a Sniper Rifle-Sword Hybrid, with a scope. The second monster that appeared was warrior who wore gray-green armor, with shoulder armor pieces that resembled lighters. On his legs and arms, were wheel like objects. His helmet had two green side pieces that went upward. He had red eyes, and a black mouth guard, with a silver piece running along his fore head, along with a blue marking. He also appeared to be wielding what appears to be Caliber gun with a double edge blade attached to the front. Two pillars of light then appeared next to Ethan, as the monsters started to ascend in the light, as the number 7 appeared under Templar and the number 2 appeared under Gallant. Team RWBY was shocked as they never had seen anything like this as they were speechless. Anna, Zack and Mia were shocked as well, as they discovered that the man was pendulum user.

Ethan's Scale: 2 to 7

"Now I can simultaneously summon monsters between levels 3 to 6! Warriors of honor! Burn across the battlefield, and ignite your blazing spirits! I Pendulum Summon! To Frontlines my monsters!"

Templar and Gallant's wheels began to make sparks as a gigantic portal in the sky opened up. Two bright lights, one red and the other orange came out, as then resembled monsters.

"Appear level 5, Igknight Cavalier, and Level 6 Igknight Veteran." Ethan declared placing two monsters on his field.

Igknight Cavalier
[LV: 5] [Attribute: Fire]
Warrior/Pendulum
Scale [2:2]
ATK: 2400 DEF: 1200

Igknight Veteran
[LV: 6] [Attribute: Fire]
Warrior/Pendulum
Scale [7:7]
ATK: 1300 DEF: 2700

The monsters that appeared were just like the monsters in the pendulum zones, and Cavalier was in attack mode, while Veteran was in defense mode. Cavalier was a female warrior, with pink and dark gray armor parts that resembled guns. Just like the rest of the Igknights, she had spark wheels on her shoulder pads. She had two red eyes, and blue gem on her forehead, and a very long mechanized pony tail. Her weapons were Derringer pistol-Daggers, and she had multiple copies of them on her thigh armor. The second Igknight was a male, and he wore light blue and dark gray armor, with silver parts on the knees, feet, elbows, and waist. His legs also had a gold outline on the top of his armor. Again, like the other igknights, his armor resembled gun parts. His helmet was circular on the sides, with a blue and silver piece on his forehead. He also had red V-visor. For his weapon, it was an Uzi gun, with the blade of an axe at the barrel, and a sword blade on the ammo cartage. The monsters took their battle stance and faced the huntresses on Anna's field. Team RWBY just stared in amazement as they didn't know what to think. Synchro, XYZ, and fusion were amazing summoning methods, but now Pendulum.

"What just happened?!" Yang asked with her jaw dropped.

"How…why…what is going on here!?" Weiss exclaimed.

"Anna! What kind of summoning method is that!?" Blake screamed.

"It's called a Pendulum summon. See those two monsters in those pillars of light. Those are pendulum monsters. You see, pendulum monsters are quite special, because they cannot only be placed in monster zones, but in pendulum zones as well. While in these pendulum zones, they are treated as spell cards, not monster cards, and can use their pendulum ability. Another thing they can do is that can allow the controller to pendulum summon. A pendulum summon can only be used if you have two pendulum monsters. If you do, you can summon as many monsters from your hand, as long as their levels are between the scale numbers. Since he has scale 7 and 2, he can summon monsters between level 3 and 6 simultaneously once per turn." Anna explained.

"You've got to be kidding me! That's like cheating!" Yang yelled.

"Actually Yang, it's kind of balance if you think about it. Summoning that many monsters may be overwhelming, but that means he uses up his hand to quickly." Blake said.

"Wait a minute where's Ruby?" Weiss asked.

Everyone on Anna's field then looked around. They then all realized that Ruby was weapon fanatic, and the Igknights had sword-gun hybrids, and armor that had gun parts. They all turn their heads towards Ethan's field, to see Ruby admiring the monsters.

"Of course." Everyone said.

"You guys look so cool! Your weapons are swords, and they're also guns! You're guys are so amazing, how many more are there of you!?" Ruby said, as the monster's appearance and weapons were making her so happy.

This happy moment ended when Cavalier grabbed her by the cape, and then looked directly in her eyes.

"You know what I don't like about little brats like you. It's the fact that you don't keep your mouths shut. Now go back to your field me alone. Or else, I, will, break you." Cavalier said in a menacing voice, causing Ruby to almost cry. Until Veteran came up and made her let go of Ruby.

"Cavalier that is no way to talk to a little girl. I am so sorry about my comrade. She has very short temper, and easily provoked." Veteran said to Ruby apologizing.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Cavalier yelled, as she had three daggers in between her knuckles.

"Cavalier, I think you need to calm down just a bit." Veteran said, with hints of fear in his voice.

"Oh, I'll be calm. ONCE I VENT ALL MY ANGER ON YOU! FEEL MY WRATH!" Cavalier yelled, lunging towards Veteran.

Veteran's screams of pain echoed throughout the arena, as Cavalier struck him multiple times. Ruby proceeded to retreat to Anna's side, hiding behind her sister, as she was completely terrified of the pink Igknight monster.

"G-gallant! Do something! Please!" Veteran yelled, in pain.

"Sorry Gallant. I can't do much up here. You're on your own." Gallant said, looking from below.

"Try giving her chocolates! Girls love chocolates." Templar said.

"I HATE CHOCOLATES!" Cavalier yelled, as she performed a grapple maneuver on Veteran.

"Well, that option is out of the bag." Templar said.

Everyone on the other side of the field just sweat drop, after seeing the fighting that was going on the other side of the field.

"That pink lady is scary." Ruby said.

"She has a shorter temper than you Yang." Blake

"I can agree with that." Yang said.

Just then a dagger landed between each of their feet, as they look up to see Veteran laying down, in pain, with Cavalier burning with anger.

"SAY THOSE WORDS AGAIN! I DARE YOU!" Cavalier yelled.

Weiss was a bit scared as well, but she really didn't like this girl's attitude. She then scowled at her. Anna however realized that these monsters were also duel spirits.

"Cavalier. We've got a duel to win, so get ready for battle." Ethan said with a stern look.

"Fine. I could use the target practice anyway." Cavalier said, as she equipped herself with several of her daggers.

"Alright then. Thanks to my A. Forces spell card, my warriors gain additional 200 attack points for every warrior and Spellcaster that I control. Since I control two warriors at the warrior, Veteran and Cavalier gain Cavalier! Engage Weiss Schnee in combat!" Ethan yelled.

Igknight Cavalier: 2400 ATK + 200 ATK + 200 ATK = 2800 ATK

Igknight Veteran: 1300 ATK + 200 ATK + 200 ATK = 1700 ATK

Cavalier then turned her attention towards Weiss.

"I'm going to enjoy melting you Ice Cream." Cavalier said.

"Ice Cream! Oh, that is it! Prepare to feel the wrath of a Schnee!" Weiss yelled, as she did not take the insult very well.

Cavalier then ran towards Weiss at and intense speed, and Weiss found herself facing Cavalier, who then used her dual wielded her daggers, and swung them with precision and speed, forcing Weiss to back up, and parry each of her strikes. Weiss could feel the intense power that this one monster gave off, as it was frightening. Cavalier then pulled the trigger on her daggers, causing a burst of energy to be fired from the blade. Weiss took noticed of this and was able to dodge just in time. Seeing that Weiss was in trouble, Anna decided to play her trap card.

"I play my face-down! The trap card Huntress Reversal tactics! Whenever you attack a huntress synchro monster, this card negates your attack, and then makes my monster the attacker instead. Plus it gives them a 200 attack point bonus." Anna explained.

White Snow Huntress: Weiss Schnee: 2400 + 200 = 2600ATK

Weiss than sidestep an attack from Cavalier, and went for a forward stab towards to Cavalier, who then blocked the attack by crossing her two daggers.

"Hmph. All you did was reduce the damage. The outcome will still be the same." Ethan said.

"Are you sure about that?" Anna said slyly.

"Huh?"

"My huntresses can only use their effects if they're the ones attacking, and here's Weiss' ability. Whenever she attacks a monsters with 2000 or more attack points, I can activate one quick play spell from my deck! Weiss, do it!" Anna yelled.

"On it!" Weiss said in return, as she made a glyph with her right hand and shot a ray of right to Anna's hand as a card materialized in her hand.

Ethan and the Igknights were surprised by this ability as they were speechless. The card that materialized in Anna's hand, was a new card.

"I activate the quick play spell card White Dust – Ice Element. Normally this card would let me destroy one face-up spell or trap card you control. However, since I control Weiss on my field, I can destroy as many spell and trap cards, equal to the number of monsters on my field, that have huntress in their name! So I'm destroying both The A. Forces, and Igknight Templar! Show them how it's done Weiss." Anna said, activating the spell.

"It would be my pleasure." Weiss said, smiling.

White Dust – Ice Element
[Spell/Quick-Play]

Weiss than released the weapon lock, and then did multiple black flips creating distance between her and Cavalier. She then placed two fingers on Myrtenaster, having the dust chamber set to the White dust setting. She then made a glyph in front of her, and sent a huge chunks of ice towards The A. Forces spell card, and Templar. The monster and spell, were then crushed by the Ice as they were then destroyed.

"Templar! Why you." Ethan said, surprised about the effect.

"Don't relax yet. My card also has another ability. For every card destroyed by this effect, you take 300 points of damage. So 600 points of damage are coming your way." Anna said, smiling.

"I'm quite proud of these cards I made." Weiss said

"Go for it Weiss!" Ruby cheered.

"That our ice queen for you. Get in her way, and she'll freeze you." Blake said.

"I don't know about you guys, but I think Weiss is having fun playing this game." Yang said.

"She looks so pretty!" Mia said, with sparkles in her eyes.

"Uh, Mia? Do you need to see a doctor?" Zack asked.

Weiss then made another Glyph, and sent an energy wave of ice towards Ethan. Mia was dazzled by Weiss' abilities.

"I play my trap card! Damage Polarizer! Whenever a card effect would inflict damage to me, I can negate it and destroy it. After that, we both draw one card from our deck." Ethan said.

Damage Polarizer
[Trap/Counter]

Damage Polarizer showed a knight deflecting a ray of energy with a mirror shield. The ice wave then hit the card dispersing it, as Ethan and Anna drew there cards.

"You may have avoided taking damage, but the battle is still going on, and without your spell card, Weiss is now stronger!" Anna yelled.

Igknight Cavalier: 2800ATK – 400ATK = 2400 ATK

Igknight Veteran: 1700ATK – 400ATK = 1300ATK

Weiss then created a glyph underneath her, to increase her speed, and charged at Cavalier, with a forward strike. Cavalier held her wound in pain and turn to Weiss.

"I'll…get you…for this…brat!" Cavalier said, as she then shattered.

Ethan Hono: 2100LP – 200LP = 1900LP

"Supply squad now lets me draw a card, since a monster was destroyed. Also, pendulum monsters are sent to the extra deck face-up instead of the graveyard, when they leave the field. I'll end my turn with three cards face-down." Ethan said, keeping his composure.

"Why the extra deck? What's he planning?" Blake thought.

Turn 5: Anna Yuno
Anna: 3800LP vs Ethan: 1900LP
Anna Hand: 3 + 1 vs Ethan Hand: 0

"My turn then! I draw! At this moment, my Shard of Greed card, now has two counters. So by sending it to the graveyard, I can draw two more cards.

Shard of Greed: Two counters.

"Big mistake! I activate Talisman of Reversal! Since you drew out of your draw phase, I can now draw as many cards that you have in your hand. Since you have six cards in your hand, I can now draw six cards from my deck." Ethan said, as he drew six cards.

Talisman of Reversal
[Trap/Normal]

"He has the same card as Anna. He was able to replenish his hand just like that." Weiss said shock.

"Damn. This guy is one tough customer. If he has any more of those pendulum cards, then were in for a big party of gun monsters." Yang said.

"Then we're going have to beat him before he can use them! I play the spell card, Huntress Soul! I now revive Necro Huntress: Muerta from the graveyard!" Anna declared, as Muerta returned to the battlefield.

"Muerta's ability activates! Since she was special summoned from the graveyard, I'm going to add RWBY-Soul: Ruby Rose to my hand, and now I'm going to summon her!" Anna said, placing Ruby's card on the field.

"Alright! It's show time!" Ruby said, jumping into the field.

RWBY-Soul: Ruby Rose
[LV: 3] [Attribute: Wind]
Warrior/Tuner/Effect
ATK: 1400 DEF: 900

"Now I tune Level 3 RWBY-Soul: Ruby Rose with Level 4 Necro Huntress Muerta! Grand Rose that scatters through the sky. Descend to the battlefield to create a new hope!" Anna chanted, as Ruby turned into three green rings, surrounding Muerta's four stars, as a pillar of light shot through the rings.

3 + 4 = 7

"I Synchro Summon! Appear! Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose!" Anna yelled, playing Ruby's card.

Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose
[LV: 7] [Attribute: Wind]
Warrior/Synchro/Effect
ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000

Ruby then appeared on the field, as multiple rose petals were scattered around the arena. She then took out her Crescent Rose, and had it in Scythe configuration.

"A Scythe combined with a sniper rifle. That something you don't see every day. Well except for me, considering all my monsters have sword-gun combinations." Ethan said, on guard.

"Due to the effects of RWBY-Soul: Ruby Rose, her Synchro form gets a 300 attack point boost!" Anna said.

Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose: 2500 ATK + 300 ATK = 2800 ATK

"Ruby is stronger than Veteran's defense. If these next attacks succeed, we'll win the duel." Yang said.

"I don't think it will be that easy. Ethan may be behind, but I don't think he's going to back down." Blake said.

Anna knew that he had two facedowns, but she decided to take the chance, as she might not get another.

"Ruby! Attack Igknight Veteran! Crescent Slash!" Anna said, throwing out her arm.

"I'm on it! Here goes nothing!" Ruby said, as she then dashed towards Igknight Veteran.

"Ethan do it!" Veteran yelled.

"Right back at ya. I activate trap Draining Shield! Not only does this card negate the attack, but I gain life points equal to Ruby's attack strength. Alright Veteran, you know what do!" Ethan said activating the trap.

Draining Shield
[Trap/Normal]

Draining Shield showed a knight equipped with a circular futuristic shield, while a reptile monster's attack was being blocked, and drained of its energy. A circular shield then appeared on Veteran's left arm, as he then used the shield to block Ruby's attack. Ruby then felt her aura being drained due to the shield and was forced to back off.

Ethan Hono: 1900 LP + 2800 LP = 4700 LP

"And just like that, he's now ahead of us. I was so focus on winning quickly that I disregarded all other possibilities." Anna said, feeling frustrated.

"It's okay Anna. We all make mistakes. What's important is that we learn from them." Blake said, comforting Anna.

Meanwhile for Ruby, she was busy taking a breather, as her aura felt depleted.

"You okay Ruby?" Weiss asked.

"I'm….fine…Just…need to…catch my breath. They don't call that a draining shield for nothing." Ruby said, sitting down.

"I'll get you next time Ethan. For now, I'll switch Amelia to defense mode, and set two cards facedown, and call it a turn." Anna said.

Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose: 2800ATK – 300ATK = 2500ATK

Turn 6: Ethan Hono
Anna: 3800LP vs Ethan: 4700LP
Anna Hand: 3 vs Ethan Hand: 6 + 1

At first the duel look one-sided, as Anna was able to counter everything Ethan threw at her with ease, and manage to get half of his life points. However, Ethan's deck answered back to him, and his deck trusted him. Ethan was ready.

"My turn. I draw! Prepare to be incinerated within my inferno Anna! I play the field spell Ignition Phoenix!" Ethan declared.

"A field spell?" RWBY said at the same time, as this is the first time they seen a field spell.

Ignition Phoenix
[Spell/Field]

Ignition Phoenix showed four Igknight monsters, having their arms raised in unison, creating a spark of fire, which created a mighty flame resembling a phoenix, as a humanoid dragon stood behind the fire. Ethan then raised his duel disk, as it then bursts into flames. Everyone on Anna's side just jaw dropped from what they were seeing. This duelist set his duel disk on fire! Ethan then let out a battle cry as the flames then shot up into the sky. The flames then took the shape of a phoenix made of fire, coloring the sky orange with its flames. Ethan then clenched his right fist, and took a deep breath. Team RWBY was just speechless. Yang on the other hand thought the fire looked beautiful, that she was smiling.

"Now that was awesome." Zack said, with his mouth wide.

"I agree." Mia said, in turn.

"Wow! That was so amazing! I want to do something like that some day!" Yang said with glee, dazzled by what Ethan did.

"How come we are always admiring the opponent's cards?" Blake said, in a deadpanned tone.

"Forget that! What in the name of Remnant is a Field Spell!?" Weiss exclaimed.

"Anna. I think we need an explanation." Ruby said.

"Well you see, a field spell, is a special type of magic card, as it goes into the field spell card zone. Field spells are known for affecting the battlefield with their effects, and affects both sides of the field. Back then, only one field spell could be active at a time. So if a person plays a field spell, when there is already one out, the previous spell is destroyed. New rules were put into play that allowed both players to control a field spell. However, if you want to play a new field spell, you have to get rid of your current field spell that is active." Anna explained.

"So in a way, field spells can alter the terrain." Weiss said.

"Or teleport us to another battlefield." Ruby said.

"However, I think were on Igknight home turf, meaning they have an advantage." Blake said.

"Well. I think we can all agree what card we are going to make after this. Well if we win." Yang said.

One word came to each of the huntress.

"Beacon." Team RWBY said at the same time.

Anna and team RWBY then turned their attention towards Ethan who had a really serious game face on, as he was ready to play is cards.

(Play Jack Atlas Battle Theme)

"Ikuze! While Ignition Phoenix is in play, all Igknight monsters gain 300 attack and defense points. So Veteran is getting a boost." Ethan said, as Veteran was now surrounded in flames.

Igknight Veteran: 1300ATK + 300ATK = 1600ATK
2700DEF + 300DEF = 3000DEF

"I now activate Ignition Phoenix other effect! Once per turn I can destroy one Igknight card I control! I destroy the Igknight Gallant that is in my pendulum zone! Phoenix Burner!" Ethan yelled.

The phoenix in the sky responded, by sending a wave of fire towards Gallant who saluted as he was destroyed.

"After that I can add one Igknight card form my deck to my hand. I'm adding Igknight Crusader to my hand! Now using scale 2 Igknight Crusader, and scale 7 Igknight Squire, I'll reset the Pendulum Scale!" Ethan yelled, placing his new pendulum monsters on the field.

Igknight Crusader
[LV: 3] [Attribute: Fire]
Warrior/Pendulum
Scale [2:2]
ATK: 1600 DEF: 300

Igknight Squire
[LV: 3] [Attribute: Fire]
Warrior/Pendulum
ATK: 0 DEF: 2000

The two pillars of light then reappeared on Ethan's field as two monsters ascended and hovered in place in the pillar. Igknight Crusader had dark blue and black armor parts, with gun barrels as shoulder pads, and two spark wheels on the front of his thigh armor. His helmet resembled a cone in a triangle like shape, along with a red visor like the rest. His weapon of choice was a Desert Eagle, combined with a wide sword blade. Igknight Squire had yellow and dark gray armor parts, with revolver chambers on his arms, and spark wheels on his shoulder. His helmet was triangle shape, with two red eyes, a yellow head attachment, and a blue gem on the forehead. His weapon was a Magnum revolver that was also a dagger. The number 7 then appeared under Squire, and the number 2 appeared underneath Crusader. Anna and team RWBY realized that Ethan had access to Pendulum summoning again.

Ethan's Scale [2:7]

"Now once more I can simultaneously summon monsters between levels 3 to 6, from my hand, or cards face up in my extra deck." Ethan said, smiling aggressively.

"What do you mean from the extra deck!?" Weiss asked, as she felt the temperature rising.

"If you remembered correctly, my pendulum monsters were sent to the extra deck instead of the graveyard, and pendulum summoning not only works with cards in my hand, but any pendulum monster face up in my extra deck!" Ethan explained, as the flames started to move violently.

"Wait! He can do what now!?" Yang yelled.

"Is that really possible!?" Blake yelled.

"Let me show you instead! Squire, Crusader! You guys are up!" Ethan said.

"Time to rampage!" Squire said, as his eyes flared up.

"Prepare to feel the heat!" Crusader said, as his eyes flared up as well.

"Warriors of Arms! Your spirits are inextinguishable! Return to the frontlines to fight honorable fight, and rage across the battlefield! I Pendulum Summon! Return from the extra deck!" Ethan yelled, grabbing three cards from his extra deck.

Crusader and Squire Wheels began to spin, as they created sparks. The sparks then ignite the air, causing a portal of fire to open up in the sky. Three flashes of fiery light then came out of the portal and landed on Ethan's field.

"Come forth! Level 6 Igknight Gallant, level 4 Igknight Templar, and level 5 Igknight Cavalier!" Ethan said, as his monsters reappeared at his sides.

"Roll call! Gallant!" Gallant said, as the other Igknight said their respective names.

"Templar!"

"Veteran!"

"Cavalier!"

"Crusader!"

"Squire!"

The Igknights then made their rally cry.

"Justice will blaze across this battlefield! Igknight Commando Unit, Deployed!" the Igknights yelled, as the flames around then became hotter and ferocious, and they position themselves in their battle positions.

Everyone just stared in amazement, as the Igknights looked very flashy at the moment. Ruby and Yang were smiling with stars in their eyes. Zack was speechless, as he then fainted from the epicenes that just occurred in front of him. Mia had to slap his face a couple of times to wake him up.

"RUBY! This is no time to be admiring the enemy! They're going to try and destroy us!" Weiss yelled in anger.

"YANG! Snap out of it! Those Knights are going to destroy your sister!" Blake yelled, getting Yang out of her daze.

"Oh shoot! Why are the cool monsters trying kill my sister!?" Yang cried, with tears streaming down her face.

"Why do have to be so awesome!?" Ruby cried.

Weiss just face palmed at her teammates reactions. Ethan was however far from done.

"Nice work guys. That was perfect. Moving on with part 2! I summon the tuner monster Rose, Warrior of Revenge from my hand!" Ethan said playing a new card on his field.

Rose, Warrior of Revenge
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Fire]
Warrior/Tuner/Effect
ATK: 1600 DEF: 600

A female warrior then appeared from a blue hole, as rose petals surrounded her. She was wearing black armor that almost made her look like a ninja, and a white scarf. She had scarlet red hair, in a ponytail, and two red eyes. Her weapons was a red hilt katana. When Ruby saw this monster, this is what she thought.

"That woman is like the combination of both me, Yang and Blake!" Ruby yelled.

"Similarities aside, she's also a tuner monster." Blake said.

"Another thing she has in common with us!" Ruby said.

"No you dolt! That means he's going to synchro summon a monster too! But her hair reminds me a bit about Pyrrha." Weiss yelled in annoyance.

"Are we really fighting teenagers?" Rose asked Templar.

"You're a teenager." Templar replied.

"I'm around my twenties, but I'll that as a compliment." Rose said.

Ethan than made his move

"Time for action! I tune level 4 Rose, Warrior of Revenge, with Level 4 Igknight Templar!" Appear from beyond the blazing heat waves! Lite everything ablaze with your crimson flames!" Ethan chanted as Rose then turned herself into four green rings, which then surrounded Templar, turning him into four stars.

4 + 4 = 8

"I Synchro Summon! The Burning Fierce God, Crimson Blader!" Ethan yelled, placing Crimson Blader on his disk.

Crimson Blader
[LV: 8] [Attribute: Fire]
Warrior/Synchro/Effect
ATK: 2800 DEF: 2600

The monster that appeared to have the form of a jester, with red and orange armor pieces. He also had a green cape of a marine general on his waist. There were also black long pentagons attached to his shoulder guards. The lower section of his dark skin was exposed, as well as the upper section of his arms. Is helmet had two black horns sticking out from the sides, and his face was covered by a black mask. He dual wield two yellow long swords. The flames seem to dance around him, as his eyes burned with valor.

"That monster looks dangerous and goofy at the same time. I didn't think that was possible." Yang said.

"He looks like a jester. I wonder if there is a Huntsman dressed up like that." Blake said.

"Well, whatever he is, we can let him destroy you, otherwise I won't be able to special summon level 5 or higher monsters." Anna said.

Team RWBY was now on edge as they faced an army of swordsman. One may be a misfit from the rest, but he was still menacing. Ethan then went on the attack.

"Due to the effect of my field spell, my Igknights gain 300 attack and defense points! Now, Crimson Blader! Attack White Snow Huntress: Weiss Schnee! Twin Crimson Slasher!" Ethan yelled.

Igknight Cavalier: ATK: 2400ATK + 300ATK = 2700ATK
DEF: 1200DEF + 300DEF = 1500DEF

Igknight Gallant: ATK: 2100ATK + 300ATK = 2400ATK
DEF: 2200DEF + 300DEF = 2500DEF

Crimson Blader then charged at Weiss, and began swinging in his swords in an erratic combat style. Weiss found it hard to block all of his attack, as it was hard for her to predict what he'll do next. Anna then activated her trap card.

"I play my trap card! Huntress Paradigm Shift! Whenever a Huntress Monster is selected as an attack target, I can change its battle mode! Also, if I control another huntress monster, I add half of that monster's attack strength, to the Huntress that is currently being attacked until the end of the turn! I switch Weiss Schnee to defense mode and add half of Ruby's strength to her defense!" Anna declared.

Huntress Paradigm Shift
[Trap/Counter]

Huntress Paradigm Shift showed Ruby moving to the right, and Weiss moving to the left, and were taking on a defensive position. Ruby then came running towards Weiss using her semblance, as she then blocked the attack with her scythe. Weiss then used her strength to create a glyph and repel Crimson Blader's attack. Due to the attack failing, Ethan took a little bit of damage.

White Snow Huntress: Weiss Schnee: 1800DEF + 1250DEF = 3050DEF

Ethan Hono: 4700LP – 250LP = 4450LP

"You okay Weiss? Glad I could save you." Ruby said, picking her best friend up.

"Thanks. But the battle is far from over, so be careful." Weiss said, feeling stronger in defense, as Ruby nodded.

"Impressive. You manage to evade Crimson Blader's effect. However, my other monsters have other plans. Igknight Cavalier! Attack Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose! Derringer Explosion!" Ethan yelled throwing out his arm.

"It would be my pleasure!" Cavalier said, with the tone of a killer.

Cavalier then began sprinting towards Ruby Rose, and armed herself with two Derringer throwing knives. Ruby swung her scythe in multiple directions to hit Cavalier, but she manage to dodge and parry every strike Ruby threw at her. Ruby however, lost her balance, allowing Cavalier to break her guard, and stab her in the abdomen, causing Ruby to scream in pain.

"AAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ruby screamed, as she then shattered.

Anna Yuno: 3800LP – 200LP = 3600LP

"RUBY! No one destroys my little sister and gets away with it!" Yang screamed in anger, as her hair lite up.

"I look forward to it. Just make sure you aren't that tiny." Cavalier said.

"Why you!" Yang said.

"CAVALIER! That is no way to talk to the opponent! Talking to them like that is a dishonorable act! Don't ever do that again!" Ethan yelled, furious at Cavalier.

"Grr. Fine then." Cavalier said, with venom in her tone as she walked back.

"You have to admit. Ethan was right." Veteran said.

"WHY YOU!" Cavalier said, punching him in the gut.

"Why me?" Veteran asked, holding his stomach in pain.

Everyone was surprised by Ethan's reaction to Cavalier's actions. It put him in a new light. Sure he may be a bit harsh at times, like yesterday towards Anna and Zack, but he did had his own sense of justice.

"That duelist is somewhat respectable in a way." Weiss said.

"Ditto to that." Blake said.

"I guess. I still don't like him though." Anna said, crossing her arms.

"Now! Gallant! Attack Aerial Recon Huntress Amelia! Fire Barrage! I also activate the trap card Strike Slash! Now, not only Gallant gains 700 attack points, but he also inflict piercing damage as well. Go for it Gallant!"

Strike Slash
[Trap/Normal]

"I'm on it! Moving forward!" Gallant said, charging at Amelia.

Igknight Gallant: 2400ATK + 700ATK = 3100ATK

Strike Slash showed a dragon like creation, surrounded in flames, wielding a blade. Gallant then began running forward and started firing a barrage of energy blades at Amelia. Amelia began maneuvering around the fire, to avoid being hit. Gallant then timed his shots, and manage to land a direct hit on Amelia, who shattered in midflight, and was then engulfed in the explosion. Anna covered herself from the explosion only to see Gallant right in front of her.

"Don't forget about my additional piercing effect!" Gallant yelled, as he brought down his blade.

Anna manage to hold back her scream, but it felt painful nonetheless, as she got on one knee. They were playing on damage level B, but the shockwaves were still intense.

Anna Yuno: 3600LP – 2000LP = 1600LP

"This is bad! Anna lost half of her life points! Another hit like that, than it's over!" Zack said, as he ate a handful of popcorn, to calm himself.

"It's okay. Anna can still turn this around." Mia said, patting her brother on his back.

"Kudos for surviving Anna. However, next turn, you won't be so lucky. I set two cards facedown and end my turn!" Ethan said, as a card appeared on his field.

Igknight Gallant: 3100ATK – 700ATK = 2400ATK

White Snow Huntress: Weiss Schnee: 3050DEF – 1250DEF = 1800DEF

Turn 7: Anna Yuno
Anna: 1600LP vs Ethan: 4450LP
Anna Hand: 3 + 1 vs Ethan Hand: 2

"It's my turn now! I draw! First, I'll activate my own Pot of Greed spell card, now I get to draw two more cards. Then, I'll summon RWBY-Soul: Blake Belladonna to my field!" Anna declared, playing Blake's card.

RWBY-Soul: Blake Belladonna
[LV: 2] [Attribute: Dark]
Beast-Warrior/Tuner/Effect
ATK: 900 DEF: 1500

"I'll assist you anyway I can." Blake said, as she appeared on the battlefield.

Ethan became curious of what this card could do.

"Since I also control a monster with RWBY-Soul in its name, I can special summon this card from my hand! Apprentice Mage Huntress: Lucy!" Anna said, placing a new Huntress card on the disk.

Apprentice Mage Huntress: Lucy
[LV: 1] [Attribute: Light]
Spellcaster/Effect
ATK: 500 DEF: 500

The Huntress that appeared to be 13 years old. She was wearing an emerald green cloak, with a white tunic, and brown shoes. She had bright green hair, and light blue eyes. She was also holding a red tome in her hands.

"H-hello. M-my na-me is Lucy. My I'll do my b-est for you." Lucy stammered as she was a bit shy.

"Aw. Aren't you just adorable? You remind me of Ruby when she was your age. Only she was a bit more active." Yang said, as she took an immediate liking to Lucy.

Anna then examined Lucy's ability and smiled.

"Lucy's ability now activates! Whenever she is summon by her effect, her level increases by the same level of any RWBY-Soul monster on my field. Since I only have RWBY-Soul: Blake Belladonna, who is level 2, Lucy's level increases by 2. After that I must perform an immediate synchro summon for a Huntress synchro monster. If I can't, I take 1000 points of damage. Also, when I use her ability, she is banished the next time she leaves the field." Anna explained.

Lucy then flipped the pages in her tome, and then several magic circles appeared around her.

"Lucy. Can I ask you something?" Weiss asked.

"Uh, s-ure." Lucy said.

"How are you using magic? For all we know, magic back at Remnant is something rare, and hard to find, or it might be non-existent. How is that you know magic?" Weiss asked.

"Oh. Well, it's duel to the fact I'm also a duel monster. You see, being created from your aura, I was also infuse with duel energy. That energy gave me the power to use magic. Does that satisfy your answer Ms. Schnee?" Lucy explained.

"Indeed it does. You seem like a proper young lady. Lucy, if we ever get the chance, I would to talk more about this." Weiss said.

"Uh, okay." Lucy said, smiling.

Apprentice Mage Huntress: Lucy: 1 + 2 = Level 3

"You have to admit, she's pretty cute, just like you Mia." Zack said.

"Shut up Zack!" Mia said blushing. She doesn't like being called cute.

Anna proceeded to continue her turn.

"I now tune Level 2 RWBY-Soul: Blake Belladonna, with level 3 Apprentice Mage Huntress Lucy! Descend the black beast! Fight to protect the world from cruel tyranny!" Anna chanted, throwing her right arm in the air.

Unlike other synchro summons, Lucy surrounded both Blake and herself in a magical orb, and Blake turned into two green rings, surrounding the orb. The orb then began to crack.

"I Synchro Summon! Appear! Black Shadow Huntress: Blake Belladonna!" Anna yelled.

The orb then shattered, as Blake then emerged from the light, and landed on her feet, in a combat position.

Black Shadow Huntress: Blake Belladonna
[LV: 5] [Attribute: Dark]
Beast-Warrior/Synchro/Effect
ATK: 1900 DEF: 2400

"Whenever RWBY-Soul: Blake is used as synchro material for a Huntress Synchro monster I can summon one shadow clone token, with the same name, type, attribute, one level lower, and half the attack and defense of the original monster, in defense mode." Anna explained as a Shadow clone appeared right next to Blake.

Black Shadow Huntress: Blake Belladonna (token)
[LV: 4] [Attribute Dark]
Beast-Warrior/Effect
ATK: 950 DEF: 1200

"Now for the main event! Blake! Attack Crimson Blader!" Anna said, pointing at Crimson Blader.

"Leave it to me." Blake replied, as she ran towards Crimson Blader, armed with her Gambol Shroud.

"I don't know what you're planning, but I'm not taking any chances! I activate the trap card, Sakuretsu Armor! Now your attacking monster is destroyed!" Ethan said, activating his trap.

Sakuretsu Armor
[Trap/Normal]

Crimson Blader, was then covered in a reactive armor, and when Blake struck the armor, the armor gather up energy and directed it right back. Just then, the shadow clone got in front of Blake and took the hit for her.

"Sorry Ethan! But if a Huntress monster would be destroyed by battle or card effect, I can destroy the Token instead to negate the destruction! So Blake's attack still goes on! That means her effect activates! Whenever she battles a monster with 2000 or more attack points, all battle damage is reduce to zero, and instead of going to the graveyard, she automatically equips to your monster!" Anna said, confidently.

"What!?" Ethan said, surprise to hear the ability.

Blake attacked Crimson Blader, with her Gambol Shroud in Blade mode, landing multiple consecutive strikes, as Crimson Blader parried all of them. Crimson Blader then performed a 360 degree spin, and manage to slice Blake in half. Or so he thought. What he attacked was a shadow clone, which then disappeared. The real Blake then appeared behind him, and threw her Gambol Shroud, restraining his right arm and pulling him down.

"Let go of me!" Crimson Blader said, trying to get Blake off of her.

"I'm afraid I can't do that. Weiss!" Blake yelled.

"Anna. May I?" Weiss asked, smiling.

"It would be my honor. I now attack Crimson Blader with Weiss Schnee! Blake's effect now activates! Crimson Blader now loses attack points equal to half of Weiss' attack points! Unfortunately, I won't be able to activate Weiss' ability, but either way, say goodbye to you Crimson Blader!" Anna yelled.

Crimson Blader: 2800ATK – 1200ATK = 1600ATK

Blake fired multiple shots from her shroud at Crimson Blader weakening him. Weiss then created a glyph underneath her feet, and attacking Crimson Blader with multiple Dash strikes. Weiss and Blake then jumped into the air, as they both performed a downward strike, destroying Crimson Blader. Ethan then activated one of his cards.

"I activate one of my face-downs! Go Spirit Barrier! While this card is active on my field, I take no battle damage while I control a monster! Considering I still have my Igknights, I'll take no damage. Plus, my Supply Squad is still active, so I can draw a card." Ethan explained.

Spirit Barrier
[Trap/Continuous]

Spirit Barrier showed a sorcerer, attacking the same reptile monster from the draining shield card, but was deploying a barrier around himself for protection.

"Fine then! Since Crimson Blader was destroyed, Blake comes back to my field in defense mode. I'll end my turn with a card facedown." Anna said, ending her turn.

"So unless, we get rid of his monsters, we won't be able to hurt him! Man this guy is really good." Yang said, with contempt.

"We can't let our guard down for a second." Blake said.

"Our attack points are low. I'm not sure if we can survive." Weiss said, fearing the worst.

Turn 8: Ethan Hono
Anna: 1600LP vs. Ethan: 4450LP
Anna Hand: 2 vs Ethan Hand: 3 + 1

Ethan took a deep breath, and opened his eyes. So far, he wasn't disappointed. The duel was worth his time, and Anna had been judge fairly. However, that didn't mean his drive to win decreased, but now it was growing.

"IT'S MY TURN! I activate The Warrior Returning Alive spell card! With it, I add my Command Knight back to my hand." Ethan said adding Command Knight to his hand.

The Warrior Returning Alive
[Spell/Normal]

"Now I destroy all three of my Igknight monsters, to special summon Igknight Lancer from my hand!" Ethan declared.

"I don't think we're going to like this." Blake said.

"I concur with you Blake." Weiss said.

"I think things are starting to heat up." Zack said.

"It was already hot in the beginning. The accurate term is that he's going burn everything!" Mia said.

Igknight Lancer
[LV: 7] [Attribute: Fire]
Warrior/Effect
ATK: 2600 DEF: 1800

The Cavalier, Veteran, and Gallant then erupted into flames as they then shattered. The remaining flames, then started to form a fire vortex that gave off a tremendous might. An arm then came out of the fire vortex and dispelled it, and another Igknight monster dropped from the sky, and this one looked more powerful than the rest. He had orange black armor, with pun parts on his shoulder and lower legs. His helmet looked like an admiral hat, and it had spark wheels on both sides at the top. His weapon of choice was GAU-8 Avenger, or in simpler terms a Gatling gun, with lances sticking out of the barrel. Due to the effect of Ignition Phoenix, his attack and defense power went up by 300 attack and defense points. Team RWBY just stared at the monster, at it reminded them of Coco Adel from team CFVY. Ethan then drew a card due to his Supply Squad card effect.

Igknight Lancer: 2600ATK + 300ATK = 2900ATK
1800DEF + 300DEF = 2100DEF

"Igknight Lancer, reporting for duty." Lancer said, aiming his weapon at the huntresses.

"Now that is a big gun." Yang said.

"I guess he is one of the stronger one." Blake said.

"I fear that we are going to get destroyed this turn." Weiss said.

Anna only narrow her eyes, as she braced for what came next.

"Next, I pendulum summon every Igknight in my extra deck! Gallant! Cavalier! Templar! Veteran! Return to the battlefield once more!" Ethan yelled.

The portal in the sky opened up, as the four Igknight monsters then returned once more, and there were all in attack mode, except Veteran. Anna felt overwhelmed, as she faced multiple knights of blazing spirit, and they had the intentions of defeating her. Weiss and Blake, felt overwhelm as well, as their attack and defense points weren't enough to keep up with the Igknights. Ethan was truly a fearsome duelist. They respected him for what he duel for and how he dueled.

"I now activate Lancer's ability! By returning Igknight Veteran to my hand, I can place one of your spell or trap cards at the bottom of your deck! I choose your facedown Huntress Semblance Spirits!" Ethan said.

"I won't let you keep doing things as you please! I play my other facedown! Breakthrough Skill! This card lets me negate any one of your effect monsters, till the end of your turn!" Anna yelled, as if she were fighting to survive.

Breakthrough Skill
[Trap/Normal]

Breakthrough skill showed an angry white dragon using his claws to breakthrough a yellow eggshell.

Lancer then glowed yellow, as his gun then jammed, rendering him unable to use his ability.

"Good move. Not only did you keep your spell, but you also prevented me from summoning my Command Knight, which would have increase my monster's attack strength. However, if you intend to use that card, you must first survive my attack!" Ethan said.

"That's what I intend to do." Anna said.

"I admire your valor. But believe me, it takes more than valor to win a battle." Ethan said, sounding a bit more serious.

"What was that all about?" Blake wondered.

"My turn is far from over! I now activate the continuous spell card Solidarity! If I have only one original type of monster in my graveyard, all monsters with the same type gain 800 attack points. I only have Rose in my graveyard, and her burning desire of revenge shall be given to my Igknights!" Ethan declared, as he sounded more serious.

Solidarity
[Spell/Continuous]

Solidarity showed 5 weird monsters in red underwear, joining their hands together in unison creating a star like shape. Rose then appeared in an astral spirit and hovered above the Igknights. The Igknights then joined then raised their weapons and joined them together, pointing them into the sky. Rose then raised her sword and sent a red aura towards each of the Igknights, giving them power. The fire in the surrounding area then became more violent, forcing Weiss and Blake to step back just a bit. The Igknights then returned to their original battle stance.

Igknight Gallant: 2100ATK + 300ATK + 800ATK = 3200ATK

Igknight Templar: 1700ATK + 300ATK + 800ATK = 2800ATK

Igknight Veteran: 1300ATK + 300ATK + 800ATK = 2400ATK

Igknight Cavalier: 2400ATK + 300ATK + 800ATK = 3500ATK

Igknight Lancer: 2600ATK + 300ATK + 800ATK = 3700ATK

"Wow. That is a lot of attack points." Zack said, amazed of how strong the Igknights got.

"I swear. One of these days. The duel monster community is going to complain so much about pendulum summoning, that the creators are going to make a new card mechanic, or create completely new rules that prevents these sort of shenanigans, only for the duel monster community to complain about that too. When will you people be happy!?" Mia ranted.

Ethan then made one more preparation before battle.

"Before I attack, I going to play the equip spell Fairy Meteor Crush card, and give it to Lancer! Now he can inflict piercing damage! Lancer! Attack Blake Belladonna! Gatling Blade!" Ethan yelled.

"If Ethan manages to destroy both Weiss and Blake, Anna life points will drop to zero!" Yang yelled.

Lancer then armed his gun, and fired a barrage of lances towards Blake, at an intense pace. Blake then began using her Gambol Shroud to cut away at the lances, but she couldn't keep up, as some of the Lances made scratches on her. Anna knew she couldn't save Blake, but the least she could do was soften the blow.

"I activate the effect of Steam Huntress: Jessica from my hand! By during the damage step of a battle that involves a Huntress monster, I can discard her from my hand, and that huntress monster gains 1100 attack and defense points!" Anna said, desperately.

Steam Huntress: Jessica
[LV: 3] [Attribute: Water]
Warrior/Effect
ATK: 1100 DEF: 1100

The Huntress that appeared on the field on the field was wearing brown pants, a brown long sleeve vest with yellow linings, with the top portion unbutton showing her white shirt she wore on the inside. She two narrow red eyes, and a monocle on her right, and she had long dark brown hair, that was the same length as Yang's but only neater. Her equipment consisted of a utility belt, with multiple mini-bombs of steam, and her signature weapon: a steam gun, with a barrel that resembled a horn, which was connected to a steam tank backpack.

"Calling me out in a pinch? I'll see what I can do." Jessica said, as she then loaded her steam gun, and fire a shot towards the ground, before she disappeared.

Black Shadow: Huntress Blake Belladonna: 1900ATK + 1100ATK = 3000ATK
2400DEF + 1100DEF = 3500DEF

Within the Steam, Blake was able to make it out of the barrage of lances. However, she then found herself face to face with Lancer. Lancer then raised his weapons and stabbed Blake with the lance part of his gun, as she then screamed in pain.

"That's…going to…leave a mark." Blake said as she then shattered.

Anna Yuno: 1600LP – 200LP = 1400LP

"BLAKE!" Yang yelled. She felt her anger building up.

"Cavalier! Attack White Snow Huntress: Weiss Schnee! Derringer Explosion!" Ethan commanded.

Cavalier, smirked beneath her helmet, as she then ran as she could towards Weiss. Using her rage from their last battle, she began striking Weiss with her combat knives, and kept pulling the triggers at the same time to fire shots for added pressure. Weiss began parrying most of the strikes, but she was then disarmed, as Cavalier then fired a shot from one of her weapons at Weiss. Weiss stood still for a minute, until she fell to her knees.

"Not…again." Weiss said with annoyance, as she to shatter.

Anna Yuno: 1400LP – 1100LP = 300LP

"WEISS! YOU'RE GOING TO PAY! YOU HEAR ME!" Yang yelled.

"Calm down Yang. Remember, they aren't dead." Anna said.

"It's over. Templar! Take aim and fire!" Ethan declared for his final attack.

Templar then kneeled down, and steady his aim, and fired at Anna. Zack, Mia and Yang all gasped in shock. From the graveyard, the rest of RWBY were busy taking care of their wounds, and saw what was happening. They all feared the worst.

"I activate my final facedown! Reject Reborn! Whenever my opponent declares a direct attack, this card automatically ends the battle phase. Then I can summon one tuner monster and one synchro monster from my graveyard with their effects negated! Return Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose, and RWBY-Soul: Weiss Schnee." Anna yelled.

Reject Reborn
[Trap/Normal]

Reject Reborn, showed King Ha Des, several skeletons, and a fiendish knight, witnessing the resurrection of a fiend, who was erupting from the ground. A black portal the opened up, as Ruby in her synchro form, and Weiss in her tuner form came out. Weiss then created a glyph shielding Anna from harm, while Ruby got in front of Anna protecting her. The both of them had bruises and cuts on their bodies, and they were exhausted after battling Cavalier.

"Ruby! Weiss! You guys are okay!" Yang said feeling so glad to see them.

"We didn't die Yang. Although it felt like dying." Weiss said, in a monotone voice.

"I never thought that I would ever get impaled and live to tell the tale." Ruby said, still holding her abdomen.

Ethan only looked at Anna, and grinned just a little.

"Well. I have to say, I'm impressed. You certainly went over my expectations. However, that does not mean, you are in the clear. You will surrender your deck if you lose." Ethan said, as his tone was now serious again.

"Anna doesn't plan on losing! She's going to beat you and win!" Ruby yelled.

"If that's the case, then prove it on your next turn! I set one card facedown and end my turn." Ethan said.

(End Jack Atlas Battle theme)

Turn 9: Anna Yuno
Anna: 300LP vs Ethan: 4700LP
Anna Hand: 1 vs Ethan Hand: 2

"The only card in my hand is Double Spell, but Ethan's grave doesn't have any spells that I can use. I'm going to gamble everything I have on this draw. If I don't draw the right card…" Anna thought, as she fear losing.

"Don't give up." A voice echoed in her head.

"Huh? Okay. That was weird. I think I got hit harder than I thought on that last attack." Anna thought.

"Don't worry about losing. Think of how to win. Keep going forward and believe in yourself." The voice said.

"I don't know if hearing this voice means I'm crazy, or losing my mind, but what I'm hearing is good advice. Thanks weird strange voice in my head." Anna thought.

"Your welcome. Good luck." The voice said again for the final time.

"Okay. This is getting creepy now. No time to think about that, I've got to move forward. If everyone believes in me, I've got to believe in my own strength as well." Anna thought.

"Anna! Are you there?" Ruby said, bringing Anna back to reality.

"Huh? Oh. Sorry Ruby, I guess I spaced out there for a moment." Anna said.

"Well, if you're done, we could use some help. I really hate this body." Weiss said, arming herself.

"Well. Here goes nothing. Time for me to go beyond my limits! I DRAW!" Anna yelled, as she drew her final card. When she turned it around, she eyes widen, being surprised of what the card was.

"What do you know? I actually did it." Anna said to herself.

(Play Yusei's battle theme)

"Anna is smiling." Zack said.

"Wonder what she's planning." Mia said, curious of what card she was holding.

"I summon Grand Mage Huntress: Mana from my hand in attack mode!" Anna yelled playing a card from her hand.

Grand Mage Huntress: Mana
[LV: 2] [Attribute: Light]
Spellcaster/Effect
ATK: 700 DEF: 400

Grand Mage Huntress: Mana wore the same robe as Lucy did, but it was white with gold stripes instead, and she wore a black tunic underneath. She wore the exact same boots, and had white gloves. She had two wise purple eyes, and white hair. She too carried a tome, but this one was green. This huntress seem to be the eldest of all the other Huntresses.

"I am Mana. A Seeker of knowledge. I my abilities will be of good use to you." Mana said.

"I activate Mana's ability! Once per turn, I can discard one spell card from my hand to the graveyard to add a RWBY-Soul card to my hand. I send Double Spell to the graveyard to add RWBY-Soul: Yang Xiao Long to my hand." Anna declared, discarding her spell for Yang.

"Finally! It's my time to shine, and to get payback!" Yang said, pounding her fists together.

"So the fourth one will appear." Ethan said, intrigued.

"Since I control a monster with Huntress in its name on my field, I can special summon Yang to my field. It's time to teach these knights what it really means to burn." Anna said.

"You got it! I'm going to serve them the Knuckle Sandwich filled with extra hurt!" Yang said, as she jumped into the battlefield.

RWBY-Soul: Yang Xiao Long
[LV: 1] [Attribute: Fire]
Warrior/Tuner/Effect
ATK: 500 DEF: 500

"I now tune level 1 Yang Xiao Long, with level 7 Ruby Rose!" Anna yelled.

"Ready Ruby?" Yang asked.

"You know I am!" Ruby responded, as both siblings jumped into the air.

Yang then turned herself into one green ring as she then surrounded Ruby, turning her into seven stars. Ruby and Yang could almost feel their minds becoming as one.

"Great Burning Soul that rampages in battle! Ignite the path to victory! I Synchro Summon! Appear! Yellow Flame Huntress: Yang Xiao Long!" Anna chanted, playing Yang's synchro form on the field.

Yellow Flame Huntress: Yang Xiao Long
[LV: 8] [Attribute: Fire]
Warrior/Synchro/Effect
ATK: 2800 DEF: 1900

Ethan stood firm, and showed no signs of fear.

"Your monster may be strong, but its attack strength is lacking. But I'm guessing she is power up type monster. However, you can't destroy all my monsters, and destroying only one, would leave me with plenty of life points, if you gotten rid of my Spirit Barrier." Ethan said.

"You're pretty smart. True, I can't defeat you with just using Yang. But that doesn't mean she has to fight alone. Now I tune level 2 Weiss Schnee, with level 2 Mana!" Anna declared.

"Another Synchro summon!" Ethan said, in shock.

Weiss didn't know what Anna planned, but she trusted her. She then turned herself into two green rings, to surround Mana, turning her into two stars.

2 + 2 = 4

"Appear! The fist that smashes all! Level 4 Armory Arm!" Anna yelled.

Armory Arm
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Light]
Machine/Synchro/Effect
ATK: 1800 DEF: 1200

The monster that appeared was unlike any other monster. It was a floating silver metallic gauntlet, with a black fin on the arm part, and it also five sharp jagged metal fingers.

"I activate Armory Arm's ability! I can equip it to anyone of my monsters on my field! I equip Armory Arm to Yang!" Anna declared.

"Wait. Are you serious!?" Yang yelled smiling.

To clarify her answer, Yang raised her right arm in the sky, as Armory flew up, and dismantled the silver area of the gauntlet to wrap around Yang's arm to fit. Surprisingly to Yang, it felt light. She then felt her hand slide into a glove like mechanism. She then clenched her fist and the Armory Arm did the same.

Yellow Flame Huntress: Yang Xiao Long: 2800ATK + 1000ATK = 3800ATK

"I never been so happy in my life! This game rocks!" Yang yelled, as she threw down her arm, now equipped with Armory Arm.

"Any monster equipped with Armory Arm gains 1000 attack points. But why stop there? I activate my final facedown! The Spell card Huntress Semblance Spirit! This card lets me take one level 6 or higher Huntress Synchro monster in my grave and equips it to another Huntress Synchro monster on my field, and that monster gains the abilities of the monster that she is equipped with. I equip Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose to Yellow Flame Huntress: Yang Xiao Long. Now Yang has both her and Ruby's semblance's combined!" Anna declared, playing her facedown spell.

An astral spirit of Ruby then overlapped with Yang's body, as she then seem to be absorb into Yang. Yang's aura, then fluctuated between the colors of both red and yellow at the same time.

"My little sis is looking out for me. I can almost feel Ruby's aura within me. It's warm. Just like mom." Yang said, smiling.

Ethan was currently shocked of what he was seeing. However, he did not falter, and stood his ground.

"VERY WELL ANNA! COME AT ME AND SHOW ME YOUR HONOR AS A DUELIST!" Ethan yelled, to the top his lungs.

"That's what I plan to do! Yang! Attack Igknight Lancer! Burning Power Gear Fist!" Anna yelled.

Yang then began running towards the Igknights. For some reason, she knew how to use Ruby's semblance. She then jumped into the air, and turned into a flurry of rose petals and flew into the sky.

"I activate Yang's ability! When attacking a monster with 2000 or more attack points, I can target and destroy one spell or trap card you control! Your Spirit Barrier is a thing of the past!" Anna said.

Yang then stop mid-flight in the air, as she fired a left hook at the trap card, destroying it.

"Also, since she has Ruby's semblance, she also can simultaneously attack another monster at the same time, at the cost of halving her damage output! I'm attacking your Igknight Cavalier! Also, since Lancer has more than 3000 attack points, Yang can activate her other ability." Anna declared.

"She has now has three effects?!" Ethan said surprised.

"That right, which means she's a triple threat! This ability lets her increase her attack points equal to half the difference of 4000 and my current life points. My current life points are 300, meaning that Yang's attack strength increases by 1850 attack points! Go for it Yang!" Anna yelled, as she threw her fist forward.

Yellow Flame Huntress: Yang Xiao Long: 3800ATK + 1850ATK = 5650ATK

Yang felt power surge her veins, as her hair then lit up on fire. Using Ruby's semblance, she then dived towards Lancer and Cavalier, as fiery rose petals came off her.

"I play my face down! Power Frame! If you attack with monster with higher attack strength than my monster, this card negates your monster's attack, and then adds attack strength to the monster that was attacked equal to the difference in their attack strength. I giving it to Lancer!" Ethan said, as a last resort.

Power Frame
[Trap/Normal]

Power Frame showed two glowing cube metal frames, and one of them appeared around Lancer, protecting him. Yang only smirked knowing it wouldn't work.

"Hate to break it to you, but I activate the effect of RWBY-Soul: Yang Xiao Long in my graveyard! Whenever a Huntress Synchro Monster would have its attack negated, I can banish this card from my graveyard to negate the activation!" Anna yelled.

"What!?" Ethan exclaimed.

"Nothing is going to stop us!

Yang's tuner form then came out of Anna's grave as a flaming spirit, as it then charged towards the power frame, and destroyed it. Lancer and Cavalier then began firing their weapons at Yang, who was evading them by using Ruby's semblance. Yang then propelled herself forward by firing a shot from her left gauntlet towards the two Igknights. She then extended her right hand forward, as Armory Arm was engulf in a yellow flame that grew twice its size. Yang then let out a battle cried, as she smashed the flaming fist into the Igknights, causing a huge explosion that rocked the stadium, or arena, destroying them.

Ethan Hono: 4450LP – (1950/2)LP – (2150/2)LP = 2400LP

Ethan covered himself with his arms covering himself from the explosion. He then saw Yang right in front of him, and he saw her red eyes, and her smile.

"Armory Arm has one more effect. Whenever the equip monster destroys another monster in combat and sends it the graveyard, you take damage equal to the destroyed monster's attack. Lancer is not a pendulum monster meaning you take 2600 points of damage." Anna said.

After finishing her sentence, Yang then delivered a right hand, Armory Arm, uppercut to Ethan, sending him flying in the air, causing a massive explosion.

"I can never lose to a dishonorable duelist, who uses others for their own gain. Guess I was wrong about this girl from the start. But, being wrong, is not always a bad thing." Ethan thought, as he went flying in the air. He didn't showed it on the outside, but he was smiling on the inside.

Ethan Hono: 2400LP – 2600LP = 0LP

(End Yusei's battle theme)

Game End
Winner: Anna Yuno

"ALRIGHT! ANNA WON! YAHOO!" Zack screamed, shaking Mia by the collar in excitement.

"STOP SHAKING ME YOU NUTHEAD!" Mia yelled.

Anna just stood in place for a moment, as Yang landed back to her side of the field. She was trying to process the fact she won a hard battle.

"Did I hear that right Yang? Did the system said that I won?" Anna asked still surprised.

"You heard right girl. You won the duel!" Yang said, giving her a big thumb up with Armory Arm still equipped to her.

"In that case, HIGH FIVE!" Anna yelled, as she raised her hand.

Yang then gave Anna a high five as well. Only problem it was an Armory Arm high five, as yang sent Anna flying across to the end of the field.

"Owwwwwwww." Anna moaned, as she checked to make sure nothing was broken.

"ANNA! I'm so sorry. I just got caught in the moment." Yang said, picking Anna up.

"It's okay. At least nothing is broken." Anna said, dusting herself.

"That's good. But I got say Anna, you really lent me, a hand." Yang punned.

"Yang please no." Anna groaned.

"Come on Anna. You have to admit that this monster is quite, Handy." Yang said, waving Armory Arm from side to side.

"GODDAMIT YANG!" Anna yelled, while Yang kept snickering.

The rest of team RWBY then came back, as they completely recovered from their injuries. They didn't had scars, since the graveyard also removed the scars, as well as repairing anything that is broken at fast rate.

"Yang! Your arm looks so cool! Anna, can I try it on, please?" Ruby begged.

"Well, that may not be happening. I think Yang has taken quite a liking to it." Anna said.

Everyone then saw Yang cleaning the Armory Arm with a wet rag, removing an ash spot, and smiling like a kid at a candy store.

"I think Yang found her new favorite monster." Blake said.

"And if she wasn't destructive enough, you just had to give her a giant mechanical arm Anna. What comes next is entirely on you." Weiss said, frowning at her.

"Come on Weiss, can you at least be happy that we won?" Anna asked.

"I am happy about our victory, and I'm proud of you. I'm just concern about Yang's new toy." Weiss said.

"It's not a toy, it's a giant fist of doom!" Yang yelled back.

"Either way, your victory was well earned Anna." Blake said.

"Thanks girls. But it's our victory, and we won together! Not to mention those cards you made were awesome!" Anna said.

"I know right! Every Huntress was so amazing!" Ruby said with sparkles in her eyes, from thinking about the support Huntresses.

While Anna and team RWBY were talking and celebrating their victory, they then noticed Ethan Hono walking up to them. Their expression then turned serious, as they did not know what he was going to do. When he finally got close, he directly looked at Anna's face, as Anna then looked back. The two of them just stared at each other, as the tension grew between them. Ethan then reached into his pocket and took out the four scrolls and handed them back to Anna.

"Here. These are yours." Ethan said, as he still had his stern expression.

"Huh?" Anna replied.

"You have proven yourself to be an honorable duelist, thus you were telling the truth. So I'm giving you the scroll that belonged to your friends. So are you going to take them or not?" Ethan said, as he moved the scrolls closer to Anna's face.

"Of course we will take them. They were ours to begin with." Weiss said.

Suddenly an astral image of Cavalier appeared next Ethan.

"Hey Blondie! Don't think this over! Next time, we'll smash you to a pulp!" Cavalier yelled, pointing her finger at Yang. An astral image of Veteran then appeared on Ethan's other side.

"Cavalier. Please calm down! Come on be a good spo-URKT!" Veteran said, as he was then punched in the gut by Cavalier, silencing him.

"I look forward to it. I still a bit mad at you for creaming my teammates." Yang said, as she clenched Armory Arm's fist.

"Hmph. Fine then. By next time we battle, I'm going to shave your head!" Cavalier said.

At that moment, all of team RWB gasp, as well as Anna. Yang had the face as if someone insulted her.

"Did she just…?" Ruby said.

"I think she did." Weiss said.

"Either this woman is very brave, or very stupid." Blake said.

Yang was furious. Any threat to cut off a strand of her hair would enrage her. However, a threat to shave her entire head, has never been made. She now erupted into flames that were so hot, that Anna had to back away to avoid getting burned. Yang's eyes instantly turned red, and both of them were directed on Cavalier. Cavalier then gestured her hand of a "come at me girl", taunting Yang to give it her shot. Since she was a spirit, Yang could hit her, and vice versa. Yang then ready Armory Arm, and lunged forward letting out a battle cry. However, a small vortex of flames appeared around her, turning her back to her default tuner form. Armory Arm, did not had time to readjust the size, as Yang's body changed drastically, causing her fall down, due to Armory Arm's weight. Everybody, including Cavalier, did not see that coming, and just sweat dropped.

"On second thought, maybe next time. I rather not fight little girls. It would give me nightmares if I accidentally killed her." Cavalier said, as she then dragged an unconscious Veteran back to the spirit world by the legs.

"Hey! Get back here! No one threatens to shave my hair and gets away with it!" Yang yelled, after getting up.

"Calm down Yang. She's gone now." Weiss said.

Reluctantly, seeing as it was pointless to stay mad, Yang eventually calm down. She then realized that Armory Arm was gone. She then sighed in disappointment, as she wanted to keep it on for a little longer.

"Well, it was fun while it lasted. By the way Ruby. Your semblance is incredible! I always wonder what being a whole bunch of rose petals felt like." Yang said.

"I know right! It just feels like nothing can stop you, and that you're a petal blowing in the wind!" Ruby said, spreading out her arms.

"Indeed. That was a useful card. The ability give us our own semblances, except Blake's. No offense." Weiss said.

"None taken. Although, I would be interesting to use your semblance Weiss." Blake said.

"By the way Weiss, did you made that Dust card?" Ruby asked.

"Of course I did. I just figure we could use something that we're familiar with." Weiss said, her hands on her hips.

"Thanks Weiss! You're the best." Ruby said, about to give Weiss a hug.

"Don't even think about it." Weiss said.

"Too late for that!" Yang said, as she surprised hugged Yang.

While Ruby and Blake joined in, and talked, Anna smiled at them, and chuckled a bit. Ethan then walked up next to her, and Anna then notice turning his attention towards him. He was silent for just a moment. Anna didn't know what he was thinking of, as we was kind of hard to read.

"You have a great family. Make sure you take care of them." Ethan said, as he then began to walk towards the exit.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Anna asked.

"I would be wasting my time if I stayed here. I got better things to do." Ethan said, as he continued walking without looking back.

"Oh come on. The least you could do is lighten up a bit!" Anna said, annoyed with his attitude.

"If it makes you feel better, our duel wasn't a waste of my time. It was pretty decent." Ethan said.

"D-decent! Why decent?" Anna asked.

"It's just decent. Not bad, not good, just decent. Your deck may respond to you, but you still have a lot to learn if you want to duel well. I went full force on you, but I felt like overkill to me. Get stronger Annie. Later." Ethan said, as he exited the building.

Anna just stood in place, trying to process what Ethan just said.

"I respect him as a duelist. But I really don't like his attitude and demeanor." Anna said, clenching one of her fists.

"Anna? Are you okay? Is something the matter?" Ruby asked.

"No…nothing at all." Anna said, still clenching her right fist.

"You sure? Because it kind of looks like you really want to strangle someone right now." Ruby said.

"I'm fine Ruby. There's nothing to worry about." Anna said gritting her teeth.

"That's what comes out of your mouth, but your tone says something else." Blake said.

"Come on Anna, no need to be so tense." Yang said.

"I think you just need to calm down." Weiss said.

"Calm? I'M COMPLETELY CLAM!" Anna yelled, breathing heavily.

Team RWBY were startled by Anna's outburst, as they jump back just a bit.

"Ok. I think I am a little bit stressed out than I originally thought." Anna said, scratching her head.

"You think?" Team RWBY said at the same time.

After apologizing for her behavior, team RWBY and Anna walked out of the arena, to find Zack and Mia running up to them. However they looked like they were panicking as they were out of breath.

"What's with you guys?" Anna asked.

"We have to leave, now!" Zack said.

"Is it a Grimm?" Weiss asked.

"No. Worse. The Duel Monster Duelist Community. They saw your duel, and now they're here to bombard you with question, look at your deck, and the really greedy duelists may try to take your cards!" Mia said.

"Oh come on Mia. It's just couple of duelist it can be that bad." Anna said.

To prove his point, Zack opened the door, showing a huge group of people, who were all duelists. Upon seeing Anna, they all then started running towards the door. Zack then immediately closed the door, and Weiss locked with a glyph, not wanting to deal with that.

"Ok. It really is that bad. So how are we going to get out of here?" Anna asked.

"Simple. I'm going to take them all head on!" Zack said, pumping his fists.

"That is a horrible idea Zack. We can just go out the emergency exit." Mia said.

"Guess you didn't think through that one Mia. If we go out that way, then it would be considered a major offense." Zack said, feeling victorious.

"Zack. Our dad works for sector security. I told him about our predicament, and even sent him a picture for proof. He said as long as we lock the door, he said we could use it. He even gave me the alarm codes, to silence it." Mia said, holding up her phone.

"Oh. I guess you really did think through it well enough." Zack said, as he was defeated by his little sister in an argument, again. Weiss was highly impressed by this.

"Then what are we waiting for. Let's get out of here!" Anna said.

The gang then left the building undetected, as they continued to talk about their preferences. Anna then thought what that mysterious voice was. She then disregarded it, as she was proud to be the first Huntress Duelist. Meanwhile elsewhere, Ethan was minding his own business, walking home down an ally. However, there was a person hiding in the shadows, following him. Ethan then stopped walking, and turned his head slightly.

"I suggest you stop hiding and come out and face me." Ethan said.

"Well, your sense is pretty good." The figure said.

Upon hearing the voice, Ethan's eyes widen as he recognized the voice. He then turned around and saw that the man was the same man he faced at the docks yesterday. The man was wearing a black jacket, black pants, had a red Mohawk, and wore square sunglasses.

"You caused me a lot of trouble kid. I Raid Doki, leader of the Archfiend gang will not accept this." Raid said.

"I see you have the guts to come back and fight. I thought you ran, after you abandon your comrades." Ethan said, glaring at the man.

"Comrades? Please, those guys meant nothing to me. Just pieces of trash who will just do anything to the mentioning of a rare card. I can always get more. There's plenty of guys just like them." Raid said.

Upon hearing his words, Ethan, became engulfed in fury. He then placed his duel disk on his arm, and created distance between him and raid.

"You spineless worm! You have no respect for the people that aid you in your raids! I'll duel you if you want, but know this. There is no possible way you could defeat me in your current state, and with those ideals you stick to." Ethan said.

"It's true. I can't beat you in a duel. That's why I have this." Raid said, holding up a dark crystal.

"What the hell is that crystal?" Ethan said, now on guard.

Raid only chuckled as he placed the crystal in his duel disk. He then began laughing, as his body was engulf in darkness. The darkness then disperse, as Raid stood, he then stood straight up, as his eyes flashed black.

"I summon X-Saber Uruz! Waste him!" Raid said playing a monster on his disk.

X-Saber Uruz was a bull warrior, who duel wielded two swords, had red armor, and the bear of a cape. The monster then charged at Ethan, as he swung his swords. Ethan then jumped back as the monster's swords then struck the ground, breaking it. Ethan then evaded more attacks until Uruz got his swords stuck in the wall.

"The attacks are real?" Ethan exclaimed.

"What's wrong? Too much for you to handle?" Raid said, as he walked forward.

Ethan only got up and only looked at the monster and raid. Gallant then appeared next to him.

"Hey Ethan what's going on here? How's he doing that?" Gallant asked.

"I don't know. But all I do know is that it involved that crystal he placed in his duel disk. Gallant, permission to use Blade mode. If so, what level?" Ethan asked.

"Granted. Level one only. We don't want to draw to much attention. Be careful." Gallant said, as he disappeared.

Ethan then nodded. He then took out a gauntlet like object and strapped it to his right arm. He then took is duel disk off his left arm, and transfer it to his right. He then entered a command code in the disk.

BLADE MODE ACTIVATE
LEVEL ONE PROTOCALL: ENGAGE

The instead of duel monster board, like all duel disks have, a triangle blade then came out of the disk, and created a handle for Ethan to grip with his right hand, as his duel disk now resembled a tonfa combined with a blade. Ethan then charged towards, the monster and kicked it multiple times. Uruz swung his blades, and Ethan duck the first swing and rolled around the second, as he then performed a spin attack, causing him to propel himself in the air, slicing Uruz back multiple times, shattering him.

"Who are you?" Raid asked, surprised from what he saw.

"I am Ethan Hono. The Inferno Dueler. Prepare to be incinerated." Ethan said, positioning himself in a combat stance.

"I won't go down that easily. Galahad! Airbellum! Come forth!" Raid yelled, summoning more monsters.

The monsters that appeared were a warrior with a fish mask, wearing golden armor, and he wielded a harpoon as his weapon, and a Wolverine monster, armed with gauntlets with three claws on each one, and was wearing brown armor.

"I see. I better hurry this up. This is a complete waste of time." Ethan said, as he flipped the handle of the tonfa, and held the blade as a sword, as the monster then charged at him.

While the fight ensued, a little black bird was seen on top of a building watching the fight. He then jumped down, and began cutting up a piece of cloth with his talons. When he was finished, he took it to a spot light and placed on top of the lens. He was taking his time because he didn't care about Ethan. He's a Grimm. He then flew down to the button and pressed it, waiting for his allies to come.

(Al's Burger Joint)

Back with Grimm teens, Siren was glaring and frowning at Shinrai, who was eating a burger. Hidou was gobbling down multiple French Fries.

"I can't believe you order 10 Jumbo burgers, 3 large size drinks, 7 medium size fires, and 40 chicken nuggets, all under FIVE MINUTES! You're lucky we had enough money to cover for this." Siren yelled at Shinrai.

"Oh, thank you." Shinrai said, as he continued chewing.

"You better be thankful! Because of you now were several bucks short, and Liege won't give us another batch of cash, until the end of the month!" Siren yelled.

"Shut up loudmouth. I can't eat with you yapping." Hidou said.

"One of has to be responsible for what happens in this team." Siren said.

"Since when did you become our manager?" Hidou asked.

"Ever since the two of you started goofing up! You're the one that got us lost, and Shinrai was responsible for squandering our funds!" Siren yelled.

"Geez, will you just chill for just a minute." Hidou said, as he slurped his soda.

"You are so immature! How in the world did you survive back on Remnant?!" Siren yelled.

While Hidou and Siren argued, Shinrai then saw something in the sky. It was a Grimm bone mask of a Beowolf, and it was well designed. Shinrai immediately knew it was Jay, as it had his signature, on the bottom left corner.

"Jay sent the signal, we have to go now." Shinrai said, getting out of his chair, and walking toward the door.

"I'm coming as well." Hidou said, jumping out of his seat.

"Hey! What are going to do with all of this food!?" Siren yelled.

"Just pack it up, and take it to go! That's what humans do." Hidou yell.

"Ugh! I really hate that Grimm!" Siren yelled, as she crushed a burger in her hand.

She then notice a group of teenagers looking at her.

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!?" Siren yelled, causing the group to leave.

"By the way, put this on Shinrai. We're in public, so it's best to hide our identities. Plus, let's stick with our code names. You're Phantom, I'm Ravage, and Siren is Curse. Got it?"

"Sure." Shinrai replied

(Back with Ethan)

Ethan was currently fighting both Galahad and Airbellum. Galahad made multiple thrust and stabs towards Ethan, but only manage to get some of his clothing. Airbellum lunged towards Ethan, pinning Ethan down. Ethan then used his legs, to push Airbellum off of him and strike multiple times, before rolling away from Galahad's spear that struck the ground. Ethan then ran up a wall, and jumped over both monsters, and slash both of them across the head. Once he landed on the ground he, entered a command code in his disk.

ENERGIZE

Ethan blade then glowed yellow, as he then swung it in a circular motion, destroying Galahad, and sent Airbellum flying, next to Raid. Ethan then charged at Raid, and ready to subdue him, not kill. At the last minute, Raid picked up Airbellum and used him as a shield to block the attack.

"You bastard! Don't you have any regard for your allies!?" Ethan yelled.

"Allies is just a synonym for the word tools. They are at your disposal at any time." Raid said.

Enraged, Ethan lunged forth and brought the side of his blade close to Raid's neck.

"I'm taking you in, and you will come quietly. Also, don't think about pulling anything out of your pockets. If you do, I break your wrist with my foot. You do not know how lucky you are. This blade could be in your throat by now. But, rules are rules." Ethan said.

"You're right. I don't have anything behind my back. That doesn't mean there's nothing behind your back." Raid said.

"What?!" Ethan exclaimed, as he turned around.

When he turned his head, just enough to keep his eye on Raid, he saw XX-Saber Faultroll behind him, who then brought down his sword. Faultroll was a warrior, wearing red cybernetic armor, and had a mechanical left arm. Ethan then parried the strike, as Faultroll's strength was putting pressure on Ethan, as he was stuck in a deadlock.

"When did he get here?!" Ethan said, struggling to break the deadlock.

"I summon him when you were busy with my other monsters, and kept him hidden in the shadows." Raid said.

"Damn, I wasn't paying attention." Ethan said.

"I've been waiting for this my entire day! You humiliated me for the last time!" Raid said, taking out a dagger.

Raid the charged forward for a finishing stab. Ethan then let Faultroll push him down to evade the attack, but Raid was able to gash his right shoulder.

"AAAAAGGGGHHHH!" Ethan cried holding his wound as he backed away.

"With this new found power, no one will stand in my way! I'll be unstoppable!" Raid yelled.

"Are you sure about that?" A voice said from behind

Ethan and Raid then turned their attention to the voices behind them. There, they saw two teenagers standing in the ally. They wore bone masks, with red markings on them. It was Shinrai and Hidou, but no else knew that.

"Who…are you two?" Raid asked.

"We are Grimm. Our mission is to purge humanity from the world." Hidou said.

"Grimm? You're all nothing, not as long as I have this." Raid said holding up his crystal.

"Dark Dust. I was correct. The human term is fight water with water." Shinrai said, taking his dark dust out his pocket.

"Actually Phantom, its fight fire with fire." Hidou said.

Shinrai then held up his Dark Dust, and a dark emanated from it. The light then caused Faultroll to disappear.

"Wait! What's going on here?!" Raid said.

"I used my Dark Dust to counter act yours. Now, Darkness Barrier activate." Shinrai said, crushing a cube in his hand.

A dark sphere then enveloped the area, surrounding the Grimm, Raid and Ethan.

"What's going on here? Wait a minute, those teens, they said Dust." Ethan said.

(Flashback)

"I activate the quick play spell card White Dust – Ice Element." Anna said.

(Reality)

"Dust. I wonder if those huntresses have anything to do with this." Ethan said holding his wound.

Raid looked around and was shocked what he was seeing. He was a bit scarred.

"What's going on here!? You guys better let me out of here or else!" Raid yelled.

"Quite wasting your breath. The only way you can leave is if you duel us. You'll get out either way, but you will face punishment if you lose." Hidou said.

"Fine then! I'll beat you and I'll teach you a lesson for keeping me in here." Raid said, putting on his duel disk.

"OK. Jay, let's go." Shinrai said, holding out his hand.

"Wait a minute Phantom! Mind if I take this on guy. He looks far more entertaining that that sad excuse for a sheriff. I haven't had fun all day. Especially with Sir-I mean Curse ruining everything." Hidou said.

"I don't ruin everything!" Siren yelled, as she came through the barrier panting.

"Oh, Curse. You're here." Shinrai said.

"No thanks to you. This bag of food is so heavy!" Siren said.

"Heh. Weakling." Hidou said.

"What did you say!?" Siren said in anger.

"Nothing. Anyway, Phantom. You mind letting me duel?" Hidou asked.

"Go ahead Ravage." Shinrai replied.

"Alright! About time I got some action!" Hidou yelled.

Hidou then took out a deck of cards and placed them in his left palm. He then seem to crush the deck with his hand as it looked as though it disappeared. Suddenly, his left arm began to twist and turn, as it than began to morph, and Hidou let out a bloodcurdling scream, which would scare anybody. His left arm now morphed into a duel disk that had sharp edges, and red core in the center. Hidou remained silent for a moment. Until…

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! SCRAP! THAT HURTS!" Hidou yelled in pain, as he started blowing on his arm.

"YOU MORON! WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD MAKE YOUR DUEL DISK LIKE THAT!?" Siren yelled.

"I THOUGHT IT WOULD LOOK COOL!" Hidou yelled.

"Oh geez. I didn't know having your duel disk come out of your arm, and THEN BAWLING LIKE A BABY WOULD BE COOL!" Siren yelled.

"YOU CALLING ME A BABY!?" Hidou yelled.

"AS A MATTER OF FACT, I AM!" Siren yelled.

"Are these guys idiots?" Ethan said, looking at them.

"Are you going to duel Ravage?" Shinrai asked.

"Yeah, just…give me a moment. Alright, now I'm ready." Hidou said.

"Hate to break to you, but your intimidation kind of lost its effect after that last stunt you pulled. But no matter you will be defeated either way!" Raid said, confident.

"DUEL!" Both players yelled.

Turn 1: Ravage
Ravage: 4000LP vs Raid: 4000LP

His face had a devilish grin, and he hard short hair and some on his chin. His weapons were two long swords.

"That's not all! I activate Faultroll's ability! Once per turn, I can target one level 4 or lower X-Saber monster in my graveyard and bring it back! I choose my Airbellum!" Raid yelled.

Faultroll then raised his swords, creating a black portal, allowing Airbellum to return.

"But he won't be around for long, because I tune Level 3 Airbellum with level 6 Faultroll! With these monsters, I will create an ultimate monster to signify your doom!" Raid yelled.

3 + 6 = 9

"I'll end my turn with one card facedown, and end my turn. My card is Mirror Force. This card will assure my victory." Raid said and thought, ending his turn.

"He manage to summon two Synchro monster in one turn. I wonder how these Grimm will respond." Ethan said, as an astral image of Gallant appeared.

"Ethan! You're hurt! Don't worry, we're coming to get you. Hang on, we're coming to get you." Gallant said, as he quickly vanished.

Turn 2: Ravage (Hidou)
Ravage: 4000LP vs Raid: 4000LP
Ravage Hand: 5 + 1 vs Raid Hand: 1

Hidou just stared at Raid.

"Starting off strong huh? I like that tactic. However, you're so weak." Hidou said.

"What?!" Raid exclaimed.

"Allow me to show you! I draw! Since you control more monster than me, I can special summon Evilswarm Mandragora from my hand!" Hidou declared.

He had the same symbol on the emblem on his left thigh.

"When Castor is normal summoned, he grants me the ability to normal summon another lswarm this turn. In that case I summon Evilswarm Ketos from my hand." Hidou declared.

Ketos was a sea creature, mixed with a Spellcaster, as he wore blue robes and had fins. He has six yellow eyes on his face, and wielded an aquatic staff with a pink orb at the top. He had another symbol on his robes.

"Those monsters don't hold a grain against my monsters. They are far too weak!" Raid said.

"True. But one thing we can agree on is what they desire." Hidou said.

"Huh?" Raid spoke.

"Can you hear it? It is the one desire to destroy everything! The one wish to turn everything from nothing! The dream to erase all from existence! The voice of their will to eradicate!" Hidou yelled.

"Stop…talking." Raid said, in fear.

"Let me show you! I overlay level 4 Castor with level 4 Mandragora to build the overlay network!" Hidou yelled.

Castor and Mandragora, turned into dark rays of energy, and shot up into the air as they circle each other. A black vortex then appeared in front of Hidou, as the two forms of energy went into the vortex, causing a bright light to erupt from it.

"Creature of darkness, arise to spread your desire of destruction and brand the meaning of fear in the hearts of those who defy you! I XYZ summon! Appear Evilswarm Bahamut!" Hidou yelled.

The middle section of the body is also was made of ice, and it had a red gem in the middle of its chest. It's held was covered in dark mask.

"We are the Evilswarms. Our only desire is to turn everything to nothingness. The Grimm's objectives, fall in place with ours, so we collaborate for your defeat." Bahamut said in a deep voice.

"Wow. Ravage really isn't going to give this guy a break." Siren said.

Raid only step back in fear of the monster. Normally he wouldn't be scare after seeing how low its attack strength was, however, he couldn't help but tremble. Ethan on the other hand, felt massive strength from the monster, as he could do nothing but stare.

"I activate Evilswarm Bahamut's effect! By using one overlay unit, and discarding one Iswarm monster, I can take control of you face up monster you control! I select your Gottoms!" Hidou yell.

"Embrace destruction!" Bahamut yelled, as he sprouted his wings.

His wings then fired multiple strings of darkness towards Gottoms, who struggled in pain to break free. However, he stopped. His eyes glow red, and he then began walking towards Hidou's field.

"Hey! What are you doing!? You're my monster! Obey me!" Raid yelled.

"Sorry. But I'm afraid, Gottoms has seen what a crummy person you are. Now, all that is left are your remaining two cards. I activate Ketos' ability, by sacrificing him, I can destroy one spell or trap card on your field. You facedown is no more!" Hidou yelled.

Ketos then began to glow, as he then shattered. The facedown card was then engulfed by shadows, and was then destroyed.

"My mirror force!" Raid yelled.

"Amazing. This man is crippling Raid's forces already. Then again, if you think about it, he shares the same goals as his monsters, thus their bonds are stronger than Raid's." Ethan said.

"Now only one thing remains. I activate the spell card Tribute to the Doom! Now by discarding one card from my hand to the graveyard, your monster is considered dead!" Hidou yelled.

Tribute to the Doom
[Spell/Normal]

Tribute to the Doom then appeared on Hidou's field, as it then shot out multiple bandages towards Souza, ensnaring him. A hand then came out from the ground and grabbed him, dragging him down to the grave.

"My…field. It's…there's nothing left." Raid said slowly.

"Phantom. I can't believe I'm saying this, but he is actually a good duelist, for an idiot."

"Nothing left but you. Bahamut! Direct Attack! Infection Cataclysm!" Hidou yelled.

Bahamut then made a tiny black sphere around him. He then breathed a dark fire on the sphere, as he began circling around it making bigger and bigger, until it was the size of a wrecking ball.

"Death will come for all!" Bahamut yelled, as he fired the sphere at Raid, as he was then surrounded in an explosion darkness.

Raid: 4000LP – 2350LP = 1650LP

"We're far from over! Gottoms. Give him what we deserves." Hidou said sinisterly.

Gottoms then slowly walked towards Raid. Raid began shaking and trembled with fear, as one his monsters came up to him. All was silent until he spoke.

"I always wanted do this." Gottoms said, as he was glad to strike his former master.

Gottoms then thrusted his sword into Raid's body, and again, and again, and again, unleashing all of his hatred on him. As his screams then filled the air with dread. Ethan watched in horror. Sure the guy was a rotten duelist to him, but this was far beyond cruelty.

"Please…no more." Raid said, as he was struck again.

"That's Ravage for you. Always savoring his kills." Siren said.

Raid: 1650LP – 3100LP = 0LP

"He won. In just one turn." Ethan said slowly.

Gottoms was still on the field, as he then picked Raid by the head.

"I never liked you. You always seem to stay behind us, and it felt like you used as shields. Yet I obeyed you, hoping that you would treat us as equals. However, you are far from redemption. This so call Grimm, is more worthy of being a duelist than you. He has freed me from your selfish grip." Gottoms said.

"Damn you! You're just a piece of trash for me to use!" Raid yelled.

"A Darkness game reveals the true nature of humans." Shinrai said.

Raid then turned around to see Shinrai raising his right arm, as he was wearing the Black-Shot device. The device then glowed red, as well as his eyes. Ethan was too weak to move to stop him.

"The gates of despair, have opened." Shinrai said, as the device glowed.

Raid then covered his eyes from the light. When he opened them, he saw himself in a black area. Suddenly light, ghouls rose from the ground and they all came from them.

"Boss. Traitor. You left us." The ghouls said, as they were spirits of his previous subordinates.

"Don't come any closer! No. No! NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Raid yelled, as he was then consumed.

"Allies are those who you fight with side by side. Not those you hide behind and simply replace." Shinrai said to the now mad Raid, who was unconscious.

The device then beeped as the dark dust crystal then came out. Shinrai grabbed it and gave it to Hidou.

"Congratulations. This belongs to you now." Shinrai said handing the crystal to Hidou.

"I have to say, I'm almost impressed. Although, did you really had to win in one turn? If you asked me that was a bit overkill." Siren said.

"Hey. I do what I've got to do." Hidou said.

"Ravage. Are you going to put your duel disk away?" Shinrai asked.

"Oh yeah. Give me a sec." Hidou said.

Hidou then retraced his duel disk back into his arm. He cringed from the pain, and tried not to cry, due to how painful it was. The deck then ejected out of his palm, which hurts even more. Hidou had a single tear form in his eye, but he did not cried.

"This is just so hard to watch." Siren said, shaking her head.

"That's it. I getting this thing removed when we get back." Hidou said, holding his left arm in pain.

Jay then perched on Shinrai's shoulder and whispered in his ear.

"Oh. I see. The other human is still here." Shinrai said, turning his attention to Ethan.

Ethan then began to run, but Siren suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Sorry boy. But I'm afraid we can't let you leave." Siren said.

"Who are you guys?" Ethan asked.

"We are Grimm. Our goal is to purge humanity, before the Huntresses stop us." Shinrai said, walking next to Siren.

"Huntresses?" Ethan said, surprised to hear that word.

"If you can't duel us, then we can kill you. Beat us, and then we'll let you go. I'm not sure if you can last though. So what will it be?" Siren asked.

Ethan just looked at the Grimm. He was in no condition to duel, but if he would die if he didn't. Suddenly a gun shot was heard. Shinrai sensed it and pushed Siren down, to evade bullet. In the ally stood a Crusader and Templar, in trench coats. They then ran towards Ethan and picked him up, and fired multiple shots at the Grimm, to keep them at bay, as they then fled the scene.

"Damn it! He got away!" Siren yelled.

"Leave him. Those men felt strange." Shinrai said.

"Ugh fine! By the way, which way is the Lair?" Siren asked.

"It's all the way over there. Should take about 7 hours to get back." Shinrai said.

"OH COME ON!" Hidou yelled.

"I HATE THIS CITY!" Siren yelled.

Elsewhere, Ethan was being supported by Crusader, as Templar walked next to him.

"How did you guys get here?" Ethan asked.

"Gallant took drastic measures, and opened an unauthorized portal, so we can rescue you." Templar said.

"We're in so much trouble when we get. Just hang tight till we get back. " Crusader said.

"So what who were those three?" Templar asked.

"I'm not so sure, but they called themselves Grimm. I don't know what they are here for, but I remember them saying they couldn't let the Huntresses interfere." Ethan said.

"Huntresses. You mean the girls who we fought today?" Crusader said, surprised.

"Yeah. Also, they said the dark crystal was dark dust. Annie had a card that had the word dust on it." Ethan said.

"So what does that mean?" Templar asked.

"What it means is that I need to have a long nice talk with Annie." Ethan said.

Templar and Crusader nodded in response. Templar then entered a command code on his device, and a portal then appeared. The group of three then walked into the portal, as Ethan thought that this was bigger than anything he has ever went up against.

End of Chapter 7

Bonus Scene

Meet the New Huntresses.

The huntresses of today's duel then appeared on stage, as they began to introduce themselves, in order. Muerta, Amelia, Lucy, Jessica, and Mana.

"I am Muerta. I'm a huntress who specializes in Necromancy. Death to me is one of the greatest things in life, as it is mysterious and dark. Plus, my powers come from the spirits of dead Huntsmen, as I use it for my own use. My Dark Staff is an artifact that I recovered from a long time ago. It's said that when the owner dies, he will be consume in shadows, and be shown the greatest darkest secrets of life!" Muerta explained.

"I am Amelia! The aerial combat is my specialty, but my role in battle is being a scout. I survey landscapes, and help tacticians plan the battle. My jetpack here is great, but it did require practice to get the hang of it. I like to use dual wielding plasma pistols, as they are much more suited for making sharp turns in the air. Flying is one of my favorite hobbies, and I enjoy it to the best." Amelia said saluting.

"My name is Lucy. I'm a student and assistant to Mana. I'm not that really good, but one day, I hope to become just like her. I only know a couple of spells, but I was quite surprised to hear that magic doesn't exist in Remnant. You see, we come from the spirit world, and were trained to help team RWBY, by our leader." Lucy said.

"Jessica is who I am. I'm a huntress who specializes in steam weaponry. Steam has been around humans for the longest time, and it has proved most efficient in the past. I use my free time to experiment with steam to see what I can do with it. I can make a medicine with it, or make a potent poison with no cure with it. Truly, steam is one of many wonders of the world." Jessica said.

"I'm the eldest of all the duel spirit Huntresses. My name is Mana. I have been around for some time, so I have the most experience out of the rest of the Huntresses here. Fun fact, every Huntress card from here on out will always be a female. I suppose were a little bit like amazons. Anyway, I'm very capable with spells, and Lucy is a good apprentice. I do hope that you are enjoying this read." Mana said smiling.

Author Note

It's finally done! Chapter 7 has been completed! Coming up with Ethan and Anna's duel was the hardest. I had to consider the monster effects, and the cards in hand, and with everything that happened, it was hard to keep track of things. Also, Yang + Armory Arm = EPIC SMACKDOWN! Well, that's my opinion. Anyway, hope this chapter was worth the wait, as it how takes first place for being my longest chapter. I try to make duels entertaining, and to make sure that every card that is played is significant. I always try to end it with a good outcome. Ethan is a character that is little bit unsociable, but has good morals as a person. He's a bit rude at times, and doesn't like doing things that seem like a waste time to him. He's also sensitive about the honor of duelist, and dislikes dishonorable actions. He's a person who can see spirits, uses the Igknight deck, and has a weaponized duel disk for some reason, which will be explain later. So now we have a Synchro, Fusion, and Pendulum user. This begs the question: will there be a XYZ user? I believe so, but he won't appear for a while. I will take a while for me to update the card guide, since I have exams next week, so please be patient. So did you guys like the Huntress support cards, and what do you think of Ethan? Please leave a review down below to tell me if I'm doing a good job. Next chapter, Jaune and Pyrrha make their debut with Zack, and Ethan is going to demand for some answers from Anna and from Team RWBY. See you next duel.
