Yu-Gi-Oh: RWBY Chronicles

Chapter 9: Flower Power. A Shocking Battle

(The Alleyway next to the Red Demon's Ramen Restaurant)

Ethan was currently on his way home after talking to Anna and team RWBY. It was quite a lot for him to take in that there was another world with combat schools, kingdoms, robot armies, hybrid sword-guns, and monsters known as Grimm with the intent of destroying everything. But for some reason, he didn't look surprised, as if he dealt with this stuff before. However, if the Grimm were causing a ruckus for him, all he had to do was burn them. Just simple logic: bother me, then I incinerate you. Ethan didn't care what the Grimm were planning, as he was going to get stronger to take them down. While walking, he sensed someone walking behind him.

"If you're going to try and be sneaky, you might want to practice a bit more." Ethan said.

"You are good as they say you are, Inferno Dueler." A male voice said.

Ethan turned around, and saw a man in a black cloak that covered his entire body, and wore a gas mask with two vents on the side and green eye lens.

"You know who I am?" Ethan asked, a little surprised.

"I need to be well informed about my targets." The Cloaked Man said.

"Target? What made me so popular?" Ethan asked.

"You should be fully aware of my employers, as you have been quite a handful with them." Man said.

"So an Assassin? Look buddy. I've made a lot of enemies in the past. Your employers are just another group who are just caught up in payback." Ethan said, as he attached his gauntlet to his right arm, knowing he would have to fight.

"Heh. Looks like the file was right. You really do hate wasting time." The Assassin said, as he attached a similar device to his arm.

"Think you can beat me? I beaten plenty of thugs like you. You're not that different from the rest. Considering that we're in this dimension, the amount of duel energy here is very low, so we can only use level 1 protocols. Just to let you know, close range combat is my specialty." Ethan said, as he attached his D-Pad to his gauntlet.

"I know that as well. Like I said, I looked you up." The Assassin said.

"Yeesh. What are you, a stalker?" Ethan asked.

"I prefer the term profiler, but you said it yourself, I have no chance of beating you in this world and our world." The Assassin said, attaching his D-Pad to his gauntlet.

"So you have a death wish? Because I can grant it, depending on my mood." Ethan asked.

"Not at all. I've got something to tip the scale in my favor. But let's see how far I can go in level 1." The Cloaked Man said.

"I'm done talking." Ethan said, as he ran towards the man inputting a command in his disk as the cloak man did the same.

BLADE MODE ACTIVATE
LEVEL ONE PROTOCALL: ENGAGE

CLAW MODE ACTIVATE
LEVEL ONE PROTOCALL: EXECUTE

A blade tonfa then extended from Ethan's disk as he then flipped it to hold it like a sword. The cloaked man's disk then extended towards his hands, as it morphed into three sharp claws. Ethan then jumped into the sword, as he performed a downward swing, as the Assassin blocked the sword with his claws. He then went for a right kick towards Ethan. To counter it, Ethan twisted his body to the right, performing a 360 degree kick at the Assassin, who was sent a couple feet to the side. The Assassin then rushed towards Ethan, thrusting his claws forward, and furiously swiped then at Ethan, who was walking back and parrying each attack. Seeing as he was being backed into a corner, Ethan raised his right arm to block the next attack, and used his left palm to strike the Assassin in the gut, and push him back to the ground.

"Told you so. Now get out of my sight, before I change my mind. You have at least 10 seconds starting now." Ethan said, menacingly.

"Heh. Just wanted to have a little fun. Here's where the battle really begins." The Man said, going for his pocket.

"I won't let you!" Ethan yelled, as he lunged toward the man.

A bright dark light then shined through the field. Ethan then covered his eyes from the light, halting his attack. When he looked up, he saw that the Assassin was covered in a dark purple like Aura. The man looked up, and his eyes glowed red. Ethan could feel his strength glowing stronger.

"Why is the color purple so darn intimidating for evil dudes?" Ethan asked himself.

Ethan couldn't see it, but beneath the cloak man's mask, he was grinning wickedly. The Assassin's disk then started to absorb the dark energy around him. Ethan really did not like what was happening.

DUEL ENERGY AQUIRED
LEVEL 3 PROTOCALLS: EXECUTE

"Level 3?! Dark Dust was already dangerous enough in the hands a duelist that reside here, but in the hands of a person like him, the threat level just skyrocketed." Ethan said in shock.

"Level 3. I guess I need more for level 4, but I'll make due. Now, where was I? Oh yeah. I was about to collect my payment. My employers said that they prefer you dead." The Assassin said. He then placed a card on his disk, as a purple dark circle appeared in the ground. What came out of the portal was a humanoid monster with dark yellow skin. He was wearing jagged jeans with a battle vest and arm guards that were studded with purple gems. He was also wearing helmet with four sharp edges. His face showed his green eyes and his sharp teeth. Its weapon was a Dual Naginta. This was the monster known as Vorse Raider. Ethan just glared at the monster as he ready his sword.

"He summoned a monster. It's a strong level four monster, but I can deal with it just fine. After all, it's part of my job. This is just my average Friday." Ethan said.

Vorse Raider then let out a battle cry, as he then swung his Naginta towards Ethan, striking him with a powerful blow. This surprised Ethan, as this Vorse Raider was stronger than it should have been. He then noticed a dark aura surrounding the monster, and its eyes seem to have nothing but bloodlust in them.

"So that's what a Dark Dust crystal can do in the hands of a Spirit Duelist. That monster is too dangerous to be here. I can't fight him here as well. I'm only managing due to the reverse weapon advantage. Luckily for me, Crusader was able to hook me up with some new trans-dimensional tech. It's untested, but if it works, I can automatically transport this guy, along with his monster, back to my world. Unfortunately, the location selection isn't working right, so using it now would send me somewhere random. Gallant said to only use this in times of emergency. I guess being attacked by a vicious monster powered by an evil monster counts. Well here goes." Ethan thought, as he dodged Vorse Raider's furious swings.

Setting his disk to Dimension transport mode. The location screen wasn't working, but Ethan had to risk it. Not only would the people here would be safe, but he would also be able to fight this man and his monster much more easily. He then charged towards the monster and the Assassin, as he imputed a command in his disk to activate the transportation sequence. However, he failed to notice that a Red Head and her four spirits were running towards him.

"Ethan!" Anna screamed.

"What!? You've got to be kidding me." Ethan said, as he now had another problem on his hands, as the area was engulfed in a bright light.

When the light dissipated, Ethan slowly opened his eyes, and saw that he was now in a wide open area in a tropical jungle. It almost resembled a battlefield, in front of him, was none other than the Assassin, and Vorse Raider. Ethan then got in his battle stance, and notice the look of surprise on his face.

"Trans-Warp Technology! How did you get your hands on that!?" The Assassin exclaimed.

"I think the better question is, how long will it take for me to beat you. Cranking up to the Next Level." Ethan said, as he pressed a command on his disk.

LEVEL 2 PROTOCALLS UNAVAILABLE: UPDATE REQUIRED
PLEASE WAIT WHILE YOUR DEVICE DOWNLOADS NEW DATA
THANK YOU: HAVE A NICE DAY

The Disk's last words than echoed out for a while. As Ethan just slowly looked down at the words displayed at his disk. It then showed a loading bar on Ethan's screen which was slowly filling up.

"OH COME ON! OUT OF ALL TIMES IT DECIDED TO UPDATE, IT HAD TO BE NOW!" Ethan yelled in anger.

The Assassin didn't expect that to happen, but then smirked as he now had an advantage.

"Looks like you're out of luck. Not only is your device out of commission, but now that we're here, I have access to stronger monsters! Come forth! Dark Tinker!" The Assassin declared.

The monster that appeared was black spider like monster that had blue skin, purple hair that extended towards the sides, and red eyes. Weirdly, the head was attached to the lower part of the body. It also had six arms, and wielded two knives, and a hammer.

"A tuner monster? You're bluffing. Extra deck monsters require a lot more energy to summon. You will be putting yourself in a bad position." Ethan said.

"I guess you forgotten that I have this! First I'll use Star Changer to lower Vorse Raider's level by one! Now Dark Tinker, tune with Vorse Raider!" The Assassin yelled, as the Dark Tinker, turned into two green rings and surrounded Vorse Raider.

"I summon Armades, Keeper of Boundaries! You're about to get roasted and frozen at the same time!" The Assassin yelled, as the monster appeared.

The monster that appeared from the bright light, was wearing upper body armor, and the lower part of his body was adorn in a white cloth. He had flaming blue hair, with a yellow crest on his forehead. He also had a red and a blue eye. The Assassin let out a cackling laugh. Ethan saw that the Dark Dust Crystal was emitting an eerie light. It didn't take a genius to figure out what the Cloak dude was using to power up his monster. The monster in turn, also had its eyes glowing intensely.

"Just when I fought this day couldn't get any worse." Ethan said, as he readied himself.

(Anna and RWBY)

While Ethan was fighting for his life, this was around the time where Anna and team RWBY regained conscious, and they now find themselves on top of a cliff, and above a lush forest. Also, they happened to notice there were three suns in the sky. No one could blame them for being shocked at the change of scenery, but Anna was not dealing with it well as she then began freaking out.

"What's going on!? Why are we on a cliff!? What happen to Jewel city!? There's three suns in the sky! How does that make any sense!? What was Ethan doing!? Was he fighting a Vorse Raider!? How are we going to get home?! What…is…going on here!?" Anna said frantically in a panicked voice. Seeing as their duelist was not doing so well, team RWBY came over to her, and tried to calm her down, with Ruby first to speak.

"Anna. Calm down. I know this is a bit surprising, but you have to take it easy. We won't get anywhere by panicking." Ruby said, as Anna started to breathing started to slow down. Blake then came up to her next.

"Try and take deep breaths Anna. Now follow my lead. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. And breathe out." Blake said, as Anna started to calm down a bit, as Weiss stepped in.

"You feeling okay now Anna? We can't have our duelist in a state like this. It's not good for our safety." Weiss said.

"Weiss. That has to be the coldest concern I have ever heard in my life. But thank you." Anna said.

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that first part. Also, where are we anyway?" Weiss asked.

"That's what we all want to know Weiss. Also, what kind of place has three suns? Although that does look cool." Yang asked.

Suddenly, a loud screech was heard from above. Anna and team RWBY then looked up and then jaw dropped upon what they saw. It was blue serpent like monster, with red eyes, with several horns on its head. This is the Serpent Night Dragon. The dragon flew over their heads and overshadow them. Anna and Ruby only stared in bewilderment at the beast. Blake and Weiss brought out their weapons, and went on the offensive. Yang whistled as she was impressed.

"WHAT WAS THAT!?" Ruby yelled in shock.

"I don't know Ruby. I don't know." Anna said, as she at a loss for words. Yang then noticed something.

"Um, girls. Is it just me, or is that thing coming back towards us?" Yang asked.

"I hope you're wrong Yang." Blake said in response.

The serpent than generated black aura like shards and fired it at the group. On instinct, Weiss got in front and generated a glyph shielding them from most of the black shards. Ruby, Blake, and Yang used their respective weapons to shoot down the remaining shards. Anna was amazed at team RWBY's skills. Yang then began running forward.

"Oh that's it! You're about to get served with a Yang sized knuckle sandwich!" Yang yelled, as she began to picked up speed.

"Yang, wait!" Weiss yelled.

However, Weiss' warning went unheard as Yang jumped into the air, and threw a punch at the dragon. Only problem was, she was a duel spirit in tuner form. Being so small, the dragon used its head to smack her, and send her flying.

"OH COME OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN!" Yang yelled as she was sent flying behind the group.

"Yang!" Ruby yelled.

"What now?" Blake asked.

"Simple. WE RUN!" Anna replied, as she grabbed Ruby, Weiss and Blake and ran off away from the dragon. The dragon in turn then gave chase after the RWB and Anna.

"Don't you have a plan Anna?" Blake asked.

"I'm a duelist! Not a dragon hunter! Isn't this your future dream jobs!?" Anna yelled.

"Kind of hard to do it, WHEN YOU'RE A TINY LITTLE DUEL SPIRIT!" Weiss yelled.

(Back with Ethan)

Ethan was parrying and dodging every attack he could manage. Armades fired a fire and ice sphere towards Ethan. The tablet was still updating, and Ethan slid back from the attacks. Right now, Ethan was getting tired. The Assassin walked up towards him, as Armades ready his arms.

"Time to collect my payment. Do it." The Cloak Man commanded.

Armades raised his right arm, as fire began to build up. Ethan tried to get up, but it would be too late. Just when the attack was fired, out of nowhere, Yang came out of the sky and crashed into Ethan, pushing him out of the blast. Ethan groaned in pain as he managed to get up. He then notice the little blond girl on his stomach, scratching her head, and he picked her up by the hair.

"What are doing here?" Ethan asked.

"HEY! WATCH THE HAIR BUDDY!" Yang yelled, as she then she then began throwing out her arms furiously.

Ethan then dropped Yang to the ground. He then heard the scream of a girl, and the screech of a dragon. Everyone then turned their heads to the left, to see Anna holding on to the rest of team RWBY, running for her life. She then tripped over a root, dropping Ruby, Weiss and Blake, as the Serpent flew right over them.

"Great. I forgot I have to deal with these four. And of course Annie." Ethan said in a displeased tone.

"IT'S ANNA!" Anna yelled in anger.

"This is no time for you to be angry at that Anna." Blake said, in a deadpanned tone. Ruby then takes notices of the monster.

"Who's that? Is he fighting with fire and ice? He looks so cool!" Ruby said, as she was awed by the monster.

"NOT NOW RUBY!" Weiss yelled. Yang was looking really annoyed.

"WOULD EVERYONE JUST PLEASE CALM DOWN FOR THE NEXT TWO SECONDS!?" Yang yelled, as she lit herself on fire.

"All I wanted was info. Not this big mess." Ethan said.

While all of the confusion was taking place, the Assassin looked at the serpent and smiled wickedly. He then held up the dark dust crystal and pointed it towards the serpent. The serpent then screeched in pain, as it then flying around aimlessly. It then stopped as its eyes glowed purple. The dragon then descended towards the ground, next to the Assassin and Armades. Everyone just stared at what just happened.

"What did you just do?" Ethan demanded.

"I simply just put this creature under my control. Feral Monsters are more deadly than the carbon cards. This dark crystal is so amazing. I wonder what other things it could do." The Assassin said.

Ethan just took on a battle stance, and surveyed the area. So far, Anna, Ruby Weiss and Blake were in shock of seeing the Assassin. As for Yang, she was still a bit angry. Upon seeing Yang, Ethan then had a light bulb in his head. He then took out a glove, and then grabbed Yang by the waist.

"Hey! What are you doing!?" Yang yelled.

"Helping us survive! That's what!" Ethan yelled, as he then raised Yang in the air. Everyone else started to realize what Ethan had in mind.

"You don't think." Anna and RWB said.

"DON'T YOU DARE!" Yang yelled.

"Sorry." Ethan said, in advance.

Using all of his strength, Ethan hurled Yang with all of his might. Yang was completely enraged by his action, Yang engulfed herself in flames. She then crashed into the Assassin, stunning him. He then started to yell in pain from the burn. Yang then got up, and refocused all of her anger towards Ethan.

"I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS ETHAN!" Yang yelled, as she launched herself towards Ethan.

Ethan quickly dodge the attack, as Yang crashed into a tree, splitting it in half. She then got up. From Ethan's point of view, she looked like a miniature angry dragon, with red glowing eyes. This made Ethan wonder how strong she could get due to her semblance. Yang then stormed up to Ethan. She tried to float up to eye level, but for some reason, she couldn't hover like she used to. So she did the next best thing. She grabbed Ethan by his right leg and pulled his down. Ethan did not suspected her to be that strong despite her size. Yang then jumped on his chest and pointed her finger at him.

"YOU'VE GOT SOME NERVE ETHAN! THE NEXT TIME YOU PICK ME UP WITHOUT PERMISSION, IS THE DAY THAT THIS FIST GOES INTO YOUR FACE!" Yang yelled.

"Get off me!" Ethan yelled, as she picked Yang up, by the hair again.

"DON'T TOUCH THE HAIR!" Yang yelled.

Yang then manage to let free herself from Ethan's grasp. However, since Ethan touched her hair, she was furious with him. She then clenched up her fist, and prepared to lunge towards him. Just then, Weiss created a glyph beneath Yang and pulled her back, while Blake and Ruby restrained her.

"LET GO OF ME! I NEED TO TEACH THE YOUNG MAN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A MAN MESSES WITH A WOMAN'S HAIR WITHOUT PERMISSION!" Yang yelled.

"Yang! Please! Ethan's not the enemy!" Ruby yelled, desperately holding her sister back.

"If you want to be angry at someone, be angry at the man with the dragon and synchro." Blake said.

"Honestly. If you're going to be like this in the future, we really need to consider putting more restraints on you." Weiss said, shaking her head.

Anna just stared at the situation, but then shook her head. She then ran over to Ethan, knowing that he might have some answers.

"Ethan. You mind telling me what's going on here? I've seen some bizarre things in my life, but this take every piece of the cake!" Anna said.

"I'll explain everything later. Right now, I have to wait for this thing to finish updating. Should be done any moment now. Almost there. Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!" Ethan said.

Ethan looked at the loading bar with an intense glare. The bar was nearly at finished.

ERROR
UPDATE COULD NOT BE COMPLETED
PLEASE TRY AGAIN

At that moment, Ethan snapped. Anna decided to back away from Ethan

"ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" Ethan yelled, as he then slammed his fist into the disk's side, to prevent himself from breaking the glass.

UPDATE CANCEL
STANDARD LEVEL 2 PROTOCALLS ENGAGED

"Huh. I why didn't I think about that? Now then. Time to get serious." Ethan said.

The cloaked the man then regained his composure as he recovered from the last attack. He then saw Ethan glaring at him and smirking. He then flipped his tonfa to sword mode, and opened a slot at the bottom of the blade, which appeared to big enough to hold a card. He then grabbed two cards from his deck. One being the Kunai with Chain trap card, which showed a Kunai, attached to a chain. The second card was the equip spell card, Salamandra, which showed a sword that was surrounded by a serpent dragon made up of fire. Ethan then inserted both cards in the slot, as the machine spoke their names.

KUNAI WITH CHAIN
SALAMANDRA

KUNAI SALAMANDRA

Ethan's blade then began to morph into the Kunai with chain. Ethan then grabbed the chain with both hands. Suddenly the kunai then lite itself on fire, as the head of a dragon made of fire surrounded it. The Assassin was surprised by it, but quickly regained his composure. Anna and team RWBY could not believe what they were seeing, especially Anna.

"Wha…what's going on here!?" Anna said frantically.

"Did his weapon just changed to a kunai?" Blake said, taking an interest in his weapon.

"And there's a fire dragon on it!" Yang yelled, smiling just a bit.

"I think Ethan's hiding more than we think." Weiss said, glaring at him.

"Um…Ruby. Are you okay?" Anna asked, seeing that Ruby was staring at Ethan's weapon. Ruby then used her semblance to get closer to him.

"That was so awesome! It's a kunai with a flaming dragon head on it. What else can your weapon do!?" Ruby asked.

"Get out of the way kid. Sit back and just watch." Ethan said, pushing Ruby to the aside with his hand.

Ruby just pouted as she backed away. The Assassin was now on guard, seeing as Ethan had a new weapon.

"Oh. The Dancing Dragon attack. One of your special techniques. I'm well prepared for it." The Assassin said.

"Looks like you did do your homework. However, there's a difference between looking something up, and experiencing it up close and personal." Ethan said

Ethan then twirled his Kunai, and threw it towards Armades with all of his strength, as an intense speed. The dragon head made a roar. Armades blocked the attack using both of his hands. At first, it seemed as if Ethan's attack didn't do anything, but the Dragon head then roared, as it broke through Armades defense, slashing him across the chest. Ethan then retracted the Kunai, and spun his body throwing the Kunai towards Armades again, striking him multiple times with the maneuver. The Serpent Night Dragon then used its Nightmare Shadow Sonic attack. Ethan then notices the attack, and combat rolls out of the way. Armades, soon recovers, and he and Assassin performed a double attack on Ethan. Ethan guarded the attacks, but his right arm was scrapped by the Shadow Sonic attack. Using is Kunai to guard, Ethan pulled out another card, threw it into the air. He then kicked the Assassin and, pushed off Armades. He then grabbed the fallen card and activated it. It showed a magical hexagram.

SPELLBINDING CIRCLE

A pentagram then appeared on the Night Sky Serpent restraining it. Ethan then threw his Kunai at the beast.

"Two can play at that game." The Assassin said, as he pulled out another card. The card was Trap Master, which showed a pale blue skin man, with dark blue hair, whose lower body was nothing more than a chainsaws, a saw disk, a claw and a drill. He was also wearing a red top hat that was cut in half, a green cape and white gloves.

SUMMON: TRAP MASTER

The monster then appeared on the field, and used its saws to free the Dragon. Both the dragon and the Trap Master went towards Ethan, who pulled out another card. This card showed a red and blue vortex absorbing an attack.

NEGATE ATTACK

Two vortexes then appeared in front of Ethan shielding him form the monster's attack. Ethan then threw out his Kunai, as it erupted into flames. Armades, now knowing of its power, blocked it with more strength this time. As the battle raged on, almost everyone forgot that Anna and team RWBY were there. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"Wow. Ethan's got some moves." Yang said, as she whistled.

"He's holding his own really well. He fights just like a Huntsman." Blake said.

"He's using duel monster cards to fight. We really need to have a nice long talk with him." Weiss said.

"Let's give him four helping hands team!" Ruby yelled.

"Ruby. We're not that really at full power. We're are still tiny. How do you suspect us to go up against that?" Weiss asked, pointing at the dragon.

"Maybe Anna can use her cards. Neos said, we were infused with duel energy in order for us to become cards. So maybe, Anna can use that energy to help us fight!" Ruby said.

"That, actually made sense. Looks like you can use more of that brain of yours." Weiss said.

"Aw. Thanks for the compliment Weiss. I think it was a compliment. Alright Anna! As your leader, I order you to bring out our true strength!" Ruby yelled, raising Crescent Rose in the air.

"Y-yes ma'am!" Anna yelled, while saluting at the same time.

Anna then attached her duel disk to her arm, and drew her cards. By chance, or by fate, her hand consisted of Muerta, Amelia, Huntress Soul, Jessica, and Mind Control. The card she drew was United We Stand. She then looked up to see Ethan currently fighting off both the Assassin, Night Serpent, and Armades, but failed to notice the Trap Master slowly sneaking up from behind. Knowing she had the element of surprise, Anna picked a card from her hand and played it on her disk. A blue circle then appeared in front of her, and a gust of wind blew from it. Anna and team RWBY covered her eyes from the heavy wind. Trap Master then turned around to notice the wind, but was then bombarded with a series of pulse bullets, and was destroyed. Everyone then turned their heads towards the explosion, where Trap Master once stood. Above the smoke, the Aerial Recon Huntress, hovered above in the sky. Amelia has arrived, and her guns were hot.

"Hope I'm not late to the party. Now then, time to go to work." Amelia said.

She then took off and began firing a furry of pulse bullets at both monsters, while flying around to confuse their enemies. Armades and Night Serpent evaded the attack. The Assassin then signaled the dragon to go after Amelia. The Serpent, then chased Amelia, as it fired multiple shadow sonic blasts towards her, hitting her jet pack and knocking her out of the sky. She then tumbled towards Anna.

"Well. That's wasn't so hard." The Assassin said, unimpressed. Ruby was the first to run up to her.

"Amelia! Are you okay!?" Ruby asked in concern.

"I'm fine. Just a little scratch. I wanted to go on for a little, but I guess I got to give you girls the spotlight." Amelia said.

"You don't mean…" Blake said.

"Well duh! Come on cat girl! Let's do this! Spirit Monsters are stronger than cards played on the disk." Amelia said.

"Don't call me cat girl, but I'm in." Blake yelled.

Without Anna's command, Blake and Amelia jumped into the air and performed the synchro summoning procedures. Ethan was busy battling both Armades and the Assassin. He then noticed the Night Serpent Dragon coming from behind.

"You're not going anywhere! Activate Shadow Spell!" The Assassin yelled.

SHADOW SPELL

Chains then appeared and wrapped around Ethan. The Night Serpent then Charged towards him. Ethan tried to use all of his strength to break free, but nothing worked. However, a Kurisgama then then wrapped it's self around the Serpent's neck, and was pulled back. Ethan then saw that Blake in her Synchro form throwing herself towards the serpent. She then untied the Gambol and strike the Dragon with multiple slashes, before using a shadow clone to evade a bite.

"Anna! Some help would be useful right now." Blake said, as she dodge and attacked.

"You got it Blake! Ruby, any suggestions?" Anna asked.

"Checkmate!" Ruby yelled.

"Huh?" Anna asked confused.

"Oh. That's right. We never told you. Summon Weiss!" Ruby yelled.

"Got it! Necro Huntress: Muerta!" Anna yelled, summoning the Huntress of Necromancy.

"Oh. Is it my turn now? I was busy with something at the moment, but I suppose I'll help." Muerta said, as she chuckled sinisterly.

"Part of me wants to ask. The other part is smart to stay silent. Muerta, tune with me." Weiss said, running towards the battle field.

"Ah. Very well. Anything for the heiress. I need something in return for my assistance." Muerta said.

Weiss just nodded in response. She then turned into two green rings and surrounded Muerta. A bright light then shot through the rings, as Weiss came out of the light in her synchro form. She then attacked the night serpent with Blake with multiple sword strikes. The Serpent howled in pain, as it then retaliated with another Shadow Sonic attack. In the nick of time, Weiss used her air-step glyph to avoid the attack, and backflips away, quite gracefully. She then used a speed glyph to increase Blake's attack speed, allowing her to cut down all of the sonic attacks. Ethan and Assassin were surprised. Their combat was amazing.

"A dragon, losing to mere children! That's ludicrous!" the Assassin yelled, lowering his guard giving Ethan the chance to strike back.

"Gotcha ya!" Ethan yelled, as he loosen his chains and struck the Assassin with a kick to the gut.

"Why you! Well then, time for a new approach. It may use up a lot of my energy, but I'm definitely not going to lose to a couple of girls! Come forth, demon of pure strength! Zoa!" The Assassin yelled.

SUMMON: ZOA

A blue demon monster than appeared with a tail, long blue arms, with golden claws, and golden spikes on his body. Some of its muscles were exposed, and it had horns on its head that resembled bat wings. The monster let out a roar, as it looked blood thirsty.

"Your monster may be strong. But it doesn't scare me! I'll take on anything you throw at me!" Ethan yelled with spirit.

"You might be re-thinking that once I upgrade him! Go Metalmorph! Transform Zoa into, METAL ZOA!" The Assassin yelled

Zoa's body then began to morph into metal, as it looked nothing liked it originally did. It now had robotic arms, with larger mechanical claws. Its face was covered by a metal face plate, and the metal also wrapped itself around its horns. Zoa was now a cyborg demon. Team RWBY were stunned by its transformation.

"A Monster made out of Metal. Now that's a scary thought. Let's hope that the Grimm back home don't get upgraded like this." Ruby said.

"Still. Looks like a tougher opponent! Anna! Send me in!" Yang said, smashing her right fist into her left palm.

"Depends on what I draw. Huh. This works." Anna said, looking at the card.

The Assassin then got up, as Blake and Weiss went to Ethan's side of the field.

"You girls aren't that bad." Ethan said.

"You're quite capable yourself Mr. Hono." Weiss said, as the Assassin got up.

"I don't know who your girls are. But you're not getting in the way of my assassination payment!" The Assassin yelled surprising Anna and team RWBY.

Blake then turned to Ethan confused. "Assassination? What in the name of Remnant did you do to get targeted for something like this?" she asked.

"I'll explain that later. Anyway. Let's take out the garbage. It's starting to stink." Ethan said.

"OOOOHH! Roasted!" Yang yelled.

"As if! I have three powerful monsters on my side! Winning is impossible." The Assassin said. However, he notice Anna smiling.

"In the wise words of my friend Zack, and I quote 'the word impossible is nothing more than a stepping stone for us'. So don't count us out yet. Besides, you're won't have three monsters. After I play this. Go, Mind Control!" Anna yelled.

Mind Control showed two hands with strings attached to it, controlling a puppet. The card then shot out multiple strings towards the monster, in an attempt to take control of it.

"Foolish girl! You think a mere spell is strong enough to overcome the influence of this crystal!?" the Assassin yelled, holding up the crystal.

"That's if you're holding it! Take this!" Ethan yelled.

Ethan then took a card from his deck, and instead of putting it in the slot, he threw the card towards the Assassin, knocking the crystal out of his hands. With nothing left to control the dragon, Mind Control worked its magic and took control of the dragon.

"Alright Yang. He's all yours." Anna said.

"Sweet! Let's do this! It's tuning time!" Yang yelled, as the brain washed Serpent followed.

Yang turned into one green ring, and the Serpent went through the ring. The pillar of light then shot through the ring. Yang then came running out of the light, and punched the Metal Zoa, with enough force to slide it back.

"Careful Yang. That Serpent didn't tune with you with its own free will. Also, its looks wild. So your synchro form might not last long." Anna said.

"Hey. As long as I can give them a nice beating, then I can make it last." Yang yelled. Ruby then examined the field, and gave a command.

"Freezer Burn! Ethan get back!" She yelled.

Ethan then moved back, after hearing the warning. Weiss then stabbed Myrtenaster into the ground, creating an icy floor. Yang then jumped into the air, and smashed her gauntlet into the ground creating a large amount of steam. Armades and Metal Zoa looked around, to see beyond the steam. The Assassin, or Assassin, tried to look as well. Several figures were seen in the steam, moving around. Meanwhile, without announcing it, Anna activated Huntress Soul to bring back Muerta for Ruby. Then, all of sudden…

"Ladybug!"

Without any time to react, Aramdes was struck with multiple strikes from Ruby and Blake, and dashed attacked multiple times, using their semblances to evade and increase attack strength. After being hit so many times, Armades exploded. Upon its demise, the Assassin appeared to look injured. But soon regained his composure.

"Fun fact. Monsters summoned by a duelist like him, will suffer damage if there monster is destroyed." Ethan said.

"What about me?" Anna asked.

"I would be careful, but since you're different, the damage is similar to shockwave damage at level B." Ethan said.

"Oh. That's reassuring." Anna said.

"However, you're also control a large amount of synchro monsters. I'm surprise you're still standing. I guess team RWBY being part spirit lowers the amount of energy that you have to use. Worst case scenario is that you might pass out." Ethan said.

"Gee. Thanks for the tip." Anna said.

"Um, guys. I think that dragon is starting to wake up. My entire body feels like it's going to be ripped apart." Yang said.

"Then we'll just have to finish it off fast." Ruby yelled.

"Ruby. For now, I'll follow your order. I'll do as you wish, as long as it's effective." Ethan said.

"Really!? Thanks Ethan. You're actually a really nice guy." Ruby said.

"Just make sure you give out good commands." Ethan said.

"Alright then! Ethan, Yang, Blake! Rush Zoa! Weiss and I will deal with Mr. Shady." Ruby yelled.

On Ruby's orders, Ethan, Yang and Blake charged towards Zoa. Ethan and Blake attacked with their weapons, as Yang then jumped into the air and punched it in the face pushing it back. The Assassin came in, as Ruby and Weiss parried his attacks. Since Anna wasn't fighting, nobody really notice her. She then got behind the Assassin, and summon Steam Huntress: Jessica.

"Hey Jessica I need you to… What's with the top hat?" Anna asked, seeing Jessica was now wearing a brown top hat, with goggles on it. It also had a sewed in flower pattern design for decoration.

"Oh. I forgot to wear it when you first summon me. Also, my card got updated. See, I'm wearing my hat here." Jessica said.

"That's pretty neat. Wait, we're getting off topic here. Do you have any kind of steam that can help us?" Anna asked.

"Hmmm. Well, depends. Do you want him dead or alive?" Jessica asked.

"Uh…let's go with alive, just to be safe." Anna responded while sweat dropping. Jessica then reached into her coat and examine the contents of test tubes of steam.

"Very well then. Let's see what I have. Ah this should do the trick." Jessica said, picking a red colored tube.

Jessica then loaded her gun, and aimed her reticle at the Assassin. She then fired the gun, as the tube exploded at his feet. Ruby and Weiss were just barely out of the radius of the cloud. The Assassin then feel to his knees and held his throat.

"What was that?" Anna asked.

"Spicy steam. I mixed ghost chili peppers into the mix of a steam. Side effects include, a burning sensation in the throat, itchy eyes, and constant taste of spicy flavors, and in a rare instance, colon issues." Jessica explained.

"Well, with him out of the picture, everyone can focus on that Metal Zoa. Thanks Jessica." Anna said.

"Don't mention it. I'll be taking my leave now. You're already using up a lot of your energy. You're just not feeling it yet. Later." Jessica said, as she disappeared. Her card also turned gray.

"Guess I can't use a card if it's gray." Anna said, as she ran back to RWBY and Ethan, who were facing against the Metal Zoa.

"Ice Flower!" Ruby yelled

Weiss and Ruby then got into their positions, as Weiss created a glyph, and Ruby fired shots through the glyph. The shots then made contact with Zoa, as ice began to form on him, slowing him down.

"Bumblebee!" Ruby yelled.

On command. Blake threw out the rope of her Gambol Shroud, as Yang grabbed the end. Blake made tension in the rope, as Yang starts running a circular motion to Metal Zoa, with Blake swinging the rope. Ethan then swung his fiery Kunai in the opposite direction. Yang then used her gauntlets to propel herself even further. The Metal Zoa, tried to escape, but the ice on his body slowed him down. At that moment, Yang and the Kunai, smashed into the monster with enough force to make him explode! The monster's destruction caused the Assassin to fall on his back, as he was now weakened. Ethan then retracted his chain and walked towards the man.

"Don't…think you've won. There are…more like me…and they will…" The Assassin said, as he didn't get a chance to finish as Ethan punched him in the face knocking him out.

"Just shut up. I've heard that mumbo jumbo about a million times already. I'm sick of it. I like it better when you guys aren't talking." Ethan said. He then noticed his disk was broken. "Darn. Looks like the dimension feature is broken. Got to get it fix." He then grabbed the man's arms, and tied them with some rope. Team RWBY and Anna then came over to Ethan, and all of them looked serious, with Weiss first to speak.

"Alright Mr. Hono. You owe us many explanations." Weiss said.

"Yeah! What's with your duel disk? Why are you fighting an assassin? And…how are…y-ou..." Anna said, as she collapsed.

"Anna! What's wrong!?" Ruby asked.

"She just used up a lot of energy summoning the four of you. It's amazing she was able remain conscious with all four of you out." Ethan said.

"She's going to be alright? Right?" Ruby asked.

"Nothing a quick nap will fix. Come on. Let's talk in a place that's safe." Ethan said.

Suddenly, Yang then started to glow white as she then split into two. One being her tuner form, and the other being the Night Serpent, that flew off into the sky, having enough of this nonsense.

"There are easier ways to dump a lady you know!" Yang yelled at the serpent. Blake shot a look at her.

"Yang. That's a living, breathing, wild monster. I think you should be glad that it decided to leave.

"Besides that, we should probably go back to tuner form. It might help Anna a bit to recover." Ruby said.

And with that said, the rest of team RWBY converted to tuner form, and Anna started to look better.

"Enough with the chit chat. We're wasting time here." Ethan said, picking up Anna, and carrying her over his shoulder.

"Do you know exactly where we are?" Weiss asked.

"Oh. Just the standard Jurassic World. I suggest we start moving before the dinosaurs find us." Ethan said.

"Dinosaurs?" team RWBY said in unison.

Suddenly, a fearsome roar was heard that echoed across the forest. Multiple birds then flew into the air, as they feared the mighty roar.

"Oh boy. That sounded like a T-Rex. We better held for one shelters. My disk is showing one nearby. Let's hustle." Ethan said. Not wanting to meet what made that noise, team RWBY then quickly followed.

(Jewel City: Aegis Tailor Store: Mending and Crafting)

The Aegis Tailor Store: Mending and Crafting, is under the control of Miko Aegis. It's a small store in the Aquamarine area, but it's known for its great handiwork and crafting. This is also the home of the Aegis family. There has recently been a flooding of the building, so most of the clothes got wet. It took a while to dry them, but somehow, the store managed. Right now, Zack and Mia were coming up, along with their new friends, Jaune and Pyrrha. Zack and Mia were sweating, and look a little hesitant upon entering.

"You think she'll be mad sis?" Zack asked.

"Knowing her, it's probably a seventy percent chance that she will be. I mean, because of your stomach, we are late on getting home." Mia said.

"Why didn't we call her ahead of time?" Zack asked.

"Because we were risking our lives, by fighting a monster known as Grimm. It's reasonable we would forget during our moment of relaxation." Mia said. Jaune and Pyrrha then took notice.

"You guys okay?" Jaune asked.

"Yeah. It's just our mom, is not really fond of tardiness." Mia said.

"Also, when she gets mad. She turns into a raging demon lord!" Zack said.

"I wouldn't go that far. But making our mom mad is the last thing anyone wants to do, unless they want an early grave." Mia said.

"You two aren't over exaggerating. Are you?" Pyrrha asked.

"Sadly Mr. Nikos, we aren't." Mia said.

"Let's get this over with. We must face the challenge head on!" Zack said, mustering his courage.

"Zack. She's our mom. Not an obstacle to conquer in life." Mia said.

Zack then reached for the door handle and slowly opened the door. Suddenly, a sewing pin came flying through the air, and lodged itself in the wall next to the door. Zack then stands still as he sees a person, surrounded in a dark aura, and coated in anger. It was none other than his mother. Miko then looked up, and her face was nightmarish too look at.

"You're…LATE! Explain yourself!" Miko said, in a menacing tone, scarring Jaune and Pyrrha.

"She seems pretty strict." Jaune said.

"I'm a bit scarred." Pyrrha said, holding onto Jaune. She felt safer. Zack then tried to explain.

"Well…you see…um…ow." Zack said, as his shoulder winced in pain. Upon seeing the pain, Miko's anger disappeared, as she then jumped towards her son, with a concern expression on her face.

"Zack, you're hurt! What on earth happened to you!?" Miko asked, as tears now streamed down her face.

"Uh…I ran into a lamppost." Zack said.

"Honestly! You need to be more careful. You're responsible for your own health, and if you were to break something, you would have no idea how that would make me feel." Miko said, hugging her son.

"OK mom! I get it. Can I please have my lungs back?" Zack asked, as he was being crushed by the hug.

"Sure thing. Now how was your day Mia?" Miko asked.

"Let's just say it was a bit…exciting." Mia said.

"Well. As long as the both of you aren't dead, I'm a happy mother. Now then, what do you say you two help me out with some work, and I'll make you some dinner?" Miko said, now cheery.

"I say yes to that!" Zack said.

"Good. You know what to do." Miko said, as she walked towards the kitchen.

"You mother is quite…unique." Pyrrha said.

"Yeah. One minute, she was all scary looking, and in an instant, she's all cheerful all of a sudden. Why's that?" Jaune asked.

"Our mother is known for changing her moods quite quickly. One instant she could be happy, the next, she could be gloomy." Mia explained.

"Huh. That is one interesting trait." Jaune said.

"Is she always like that?" Pyrrha asked.

Meanwhile, the sound of a broken dish was heard in the kitchen.

"OH COME ON! THAT WAS MY FAVORITE DISH! WHY MUST GRAVITY BE A NUSIANCE, BUT A NECESSITIY IN LIFE!? (Change to Calm tone) Oh well. No use in crying over spilled milk. Back to work." Miko said, humming a cheerful tone

"More or less. A lot of people say it's where my genes come from, but I'm not going through constant mood swings." Mia said.

Meanwhile in the kitchen, a loud moan of annoyance was heard.

"UUUuggggggghhhhh! This is so boring! I just want to go to bed! (Change to Passionate Tone) No! I must not give in! I SHALL COOK DINNER!" Miko yelled to the top of her lungs. Jaune and Pyrrha did not know what to say.

"The two of you will get used to it eventually. After all, this is your temporary home now!" Zack said.

"Why thank you Zack. For an aggressive person, you are quite the gentleman." Pyrrha said.

"Oh, it's just the Aegis way of treating guest. Now if you excuse me, I need to sort out the clothing orders. Mia. Just do whatever you do." Zack said as he left.

"I keep telling you Zack. I'm in charge in keeping track of the yarn, needle supplies, and sewing machine maintenance." Mia explained.

"You do all of that?" Jaune asked.

"Of course. I'm the most responsible person in this house. Well, next to my other older brother." Mia said.

"Aren't you a bit young to be doing all of this?" Pyrrha asked.

"I may be twelve, but I look a lot more mature for my age. Also, someone has to keep an eye on this family." Mia said.

"Hey Mia! Maybe I can…" Zack was about to say.

"No." Mia immediately answered.

"I didn't even finished." Zack said.

"I know what you're about to say." Mia said.

"Oh yeah! What?" Zack asked.

"You're going to ask me where my duel disk is, and then without telling me, you're going to install that same function into the disk to represent my Gemini deck." Mia said in a deadpanned tone.

"Wow. How did you know?" Zack asked, looking a bit sullen.

"I lived in this family for twelve years Zack. I learned how to survive it." Mia said.

"Survive is quite the exaggeration." Zack said, with a sweat drop on his head.

"Just go up and do your job, or else mom will not be please with you." Mia said.

"Zack. Are those orders sorted out yet? (Change to Menacing tone) If not, then your soul shall be mine." Miko said.

"Uh…there almost done! Oh, by the way, I got this for you!" Zack yelled, throwing Mia's journal to her.

"My journal! How did you get this!?" Mia yelled.

"Don't worry. I didn't read it. By the way, open it to the first page! You might like it." Zack said.

"Just go do your job!" Mia yelled. Zack only waved and smiled, as he walked away.

Jaune and Pyrrha didn't know what to think of the family. So far, there was a little girl who acted like she was in charged, a mother whose mood is different at times, and a hyper teenager. It was an interesting family indeed.

"Jaune. Do you ever think we'll have some peace and quiet in our lives?" Pyrrha asked.

"I can assure you Pyrrha that things are never quiet nor peaceful, but sometimes, it's safe at the same time." Jaune said.

"There is meaning in those words Jaune. You've grown wise." Pyrrha said.

"Don't talk like that. It makes me feel like an old man." Jaune said, blushing a bit.

"Fine then. For now, let's figure out on how to find Nora and Ren." Pyrrha said.

"You don't suppose Zack and Mia have a huge supply of pancakes?" Jaune asked.

"Highly doubt it. With Ren by Nora's side, she can have all the pancakes she wants." Pyrrha said.

"Yeah. Besides, Ren's semblance keeps them safe. They can evade the Grimm as long as they want. It's like finding a really small needle in a huge haystack." Jaune said.

The two of them chuckled, but it was just to make themselves less concern of their friends. Jewel city is foreign world to team JNPR, meaning it would be unwise with to travel and wander the city without a guide. However, with Ren's semblance to evade Grimm's prescience, so they are safe for now. They then notice Mia's face was now changed to one of joy.

"Oh Zack. The things you do to make me smile." Mia said.

"What is it Mia." Jaune asked.

"Zack got me Weiss' signature. Oh, she is just so beautiful and graceful! She's also so smart. She's like a role model to me." Mia said, as her eyes glitter.

"You got Weiss' signature! Man, I wish Weiss gave me her signature." Jaune said.

"You can have my signature Jaune." Pyrrha said stepping in all of a sudden.

"Aw thanks Pyrrha. That's really kind of you. I'll gladly accept it." Jaune said.

"Y-our welcome. Just take care of it." Pyrrha said, handing it to Jaune. Jaune then turned away, while Pyrrha blushed hard with her face turning red as a tomato. Mia was baffled.

"How is this man so dense!? He's right in front of her, but he doesn't notice every sign she throws at him! I just want to yell at him and tell him what's right in front of him! However, love can't be forced. It must come naturally. But I really want to strangle him for ignoring a woman's heart!" Mia thought, clenching her fist. Jaune felt a chill run through his spine.

After doing finishing their work, Mia and Zack went up to their room, and decided to chat with Pyrrha and Jaune.

"So. Do you think you can tell us more about duel monsters?" Jaune asked.

"Well. If I were to describe it in one word it would be this. ASTOUNDING!" Zack yelled.

"I see. Is there anything else?" Pyrrha asked. Mia then stepped up to give an accurate description.

"Duel monsters is a very unique game that originates from ancient Egypt." Mia said.

"Egypt?" Jaune asked.

"It's another place on earth. You see, according to Anna's parents, duel monsters was a game of dark magic that was used to wage in combat, with kings, or Pharaohs calling forth their servant to do battle." Mia said.

"That's a bit scary. Dark magic, pharaohs, monsters. It's kind of hard to believe." Jaune said.

"I agree. I thought this was supposed to be just a card game." Pyrrha said.

"Yeah. But because of a certain man, known as Maximillion Pegasus, he brought duel monsters from the ancient tombs of Egypt to the modern world. Ever since then, the game has evolved in a series of ways, ranging to new monster looks, new summoning methods, and special methods of dueling. It's so popular that our world have duel schools to train duelist to become pro duelist. Others become Turbo Duelist, to participate in turbo duels." Mia said.

"Our big brother likes to call them Riding Duels, but I prefer the term Turbo Duel." Zack said.

"Just like the time the two of you got into an argument about Jinzo's name?" Mia asked.

"I'm telling you Mia! Jinzo is a better name then Psycho Shocker!" Zack said.

"You two get into the weirdest of fights." Mia said, sighing in the process.

"Anyway, besides all of the crazy dark voodoo, duel monster is an intense, fast pace, heart racing game that almost everyone enjoys playing!" Zack yelled.

"Don't forget strategy. That's another important element in the game." Mia said.

"Don't ruin my moment sis." Zack said.

"I'm just stating the facts. Even you use strategy from time to time." Mia said.

"That's hardcore combat tactics. Completely different." Zack said.

"No. That's exactly the same thing. Your thinking of strategy is just more forceful." Mia said.

"And it works. So you can't complain about it." Zack said.

"Zack. Nothing is perfect, meaning I can still criticize it." Mia said.

"You're such a buzz kill." Zack said.

"One of us has to be the reasonable one here. You're a man who tries to do the impossible, mom can get emotionally unstable, and dad is an agro cop." Mia said.

Pyrrha and Jaune just sat and watch as the two sibling kept arguing about certain things. Jaune and Pyrrha couldn't help but laugh. The two siblings now yanking each other's hair, turned towards to the two laughing small huntsmen in confusion.

"Is something funny?" Zack asked.

"I'm all ears." Mia said.

"Sorry. It's just your argument is almost similar to Ren and Nora arguments. They are just close as you." Pyrrha said.

"You mean they're siblings?" Zack asked.

"No. Not really." Jaune said.

"You mean they are in love?" Mia asked.

"Nora claims they aren't together, together. We just mean in a way of how you two care for each other. Not to mention personality wise." Pyrrha said. Zack and Mia then immediately brushed off the dirt on their clothes, and decided to learn more about Nora and Ren.

"Please. Enlighten us." Zack said.

"Yes. Enlighten us." Mia said.

Jaune and Pyrrha began on the subject of how Nora Valkyrie, and Lie Ren have known each other ever since childhood. However they don't know much about their past. They are a bit evasive on that subject. The two of them are completely different, but they get along really well, which was the similarity they saw with Mia and Zack. Nora has a happy-go-lucky and bubbly personality and really playful. Like Zack, she has an endless amount of enthusiasm. She is very open to people, meaning she is very sociable and likeable. She can be a handful sometimes. However, there are times where she gets serious and she's pretty smart as well. She also has an insatiable appetite for pancakes, and she can even slurp them down like noodles.

Lie Ren, or Ren, has a lot more control and calmer than Nora. He's mostly quite most of the time, and speaks only a few words. He also has a great amount of patience, as he is able to deal with Nora's personality, and he is also quite insightful. He's also a good cook.

Zack took and immediate liking to Nora, and he really wanted to see her. Mia was worried what would happened if that happened, but she was really looking forward to meeting Ren. He sounded like a person she could relate to, and someone that's very calm to talk to.

"Wow. Your friends sound pretty neat. Heck. I really want to meet this Nora person. She sounds like fun." Zack said.

"I beg to differ. I find Ren to be more sociable for my standards." Mia said.

Jaune and Pyrrha chuckled at their new friends reactions. However, their faces then turned grim, as they worried for their friends. Zack and Mia took notice, and became concern as well.

"Hey. No need to worry. I swear. We'll find them, and they will be in one whole piece. In the meanwhile, let's have some fun. Hey Pyrrha. Your semblance is magnetism, correct?" Zack said, trying to cheer them up.

"Yes. I can control anything metallic." Pyrrha said.

"Well, besides in battle, can you show me? Please?" Zack asked.

"Okay, sure. I would be glad to." Pyrrha said, smiling.

"Alright! Try moving, that card tin!" Zack said pointing to a metal box holding cards.

"Sure." Pyrrha replied. Concentrating, she moved her hands towards the metal box, and it started floating. Zack was staring at it like a kid at a candy store. Mia was awed as well. It was like seeing a magic trick. Pyrrha then turned the box around, rotating it. She then brought it closer. Zack and Mia were enthralled.

"Uh what's going on?" Miko asked.

Jaune and Pyrrha jumped back, as Miko entered the room without arousing anyone's attentions. Pyrrha immediately lost concentration, and sent the tin box flying upwards in the room, it then came back down, and landed on a nearby lamp, shattering it. Miko only stared at what just happened.

"I think I need to go take a nap. As for you two, clean up this mess and head downstairs. Dinners ready. After that, I need you to get some stuff tomorrow. It's for dinner tomorrow." Miko said. She then exited the room, and slammed the door. This caused the shattered lamp pieces to fall to the ground, and broke into tinnier pieces.

"I'm sorry." Pyrrha said.

"You're good Pyrrha. Don't sweat about it. It's like my brother always says; if there's a mess, just clean it up." Zack said.

"I'll get the dust pan." Mia said.

"Don't you think it's pretty late to go to the market?" Jaune asked.

"Normally yes. But, we live in the Aquamarine Area, meaning the supermarket is right around the corner. Besides, Mr. Thomas is really friendly with us. I'm sure he's willing to stay open just a little longer." Mia said.

"Well that's pretty convenient." Jaune said.

"In the meanwhile, I'm going to edit my deck just a bit." Zack said.

"You sure Zack? You're not a good deck builder." Mia said.

"It's just to incorporate Jaune and Pyrrha. Besides, I'm sure that I've improve, and it's all thanks to Anna." Zack said.

"I might as well help you. Who knows how badly you'll construct it. One moment, it's forty. The next, sixty cards." Mia said.

(Grimm Layer)

The Grimm are currently trying their best to haunt down the remaining Huntsmen. Notice came in that Scar had lost his match. Liege, just tried to ignore it, and focus on finding the isolated Huntsman. The Huntsman are only strong in this world if they are with a duelist. Attacking a Huntsman without a duelist would allow the normal hand to claw combat that is normally done in Remnant. However, the Huntsman were turned into duel spirits, after their aura was combined or mixed with duel energy, resulting in their tuner forms. The Grimm manage to become humanoid somehow, meaning it would be a one sided battle. Right now, Liege was making his way somewhere with Siren.

"Sir. Where are we going?" Siren asked.

"The lab. I need ask a favor from someone." Liege said.

"How's that possible. Back on Remnant, we never had access to this type of knowledge." Siren said.

"That's something you don't need to worry about. For now, just do your duty, and continue to bring results with your team. As for the reason why we're going to the lab, it's to find the huntsman." Liege said.

"Can't we just track them by sensing their aura? I mean, no else here is a huntsman, which means no here has aura. Thus the only people here that have aura are those little huntsmen." Siren said.

"That is true Siren. However, I looked up our foes, and one of them has a particular semblance. The power to hide their presences from Grimm. In other words, they become invisible to us. A Nevermore scout was in the area, sensing two different auras. However, he no longer felt it." Liege explained.

"So how do we find something we can't see?" Siren asked.

"Oh, we'll see something. We just need the right tools. That's why, and sadly, we have him." Liege said, as the two Grimm found themselves in front of a big metal door.

"Him?" Siren asked.

Suddenly, an explosion was heard behind the door, causing said door to fall forward. Siren just looks with an annoyed look, and beyond the door, she saw the Grimm. This Grimm had the same red eyes, and was wearing a rat skull mask over his face. He also had a pointy nose. He was wearing a white lab-coat, brown pants, and a black shirt. He was also slouching just a bit. He then slowly turned around and face liege.

"Ah Liege, what unexpected visit." The Grimm said.

"Likewise. Siren, this Rodney. Our Grimm head technician, head scientist, head engineer, and head of almost anything that is related to tech, chemicals, and extremely dangerous test." Liege explained.

"I don't know how it happened, but I don't care! I have the greatest mind of the entire, GRIMM ARMY! MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!" Rodney shouted, emphasizing the last part. Siren only looked at the Grimm with a deadpanned look.

"Why am I surrounded by completely idiotic Grimm?" Siren asked herself. "Liege. Why did you bring me here anyway?" She asked.

"Oh, about that. I need to you to deliver the invention to our next Grimm duelist." Liege said.

"Why me though?" Siren asked.

"You're were just closer. Anyways, Rodney. Your creation." Liege said.

"Why yes of course." Rodney then proceeded to move to another area of the lab, and stood something covered in white cloth. "Now behold my latest creation! The Aura detector glasses!" Rodney yelled, pulling the cloth off dramatically. What was underneath, was a pair of 3D glasses, that looked mechanized and with a series of wires.

"Aren't those 3D glasses?" Siren asked.

"Not just any 3D glasses. These 3D glasses are like thermal vision, only its aura vision. These glasses, can detect the aura like traces on a huntsman's body, and can track down their location. The Huntsman's semblance hides itself from Grimm, but that requires aura. If a semblance is in use, aura is in use as well! So bada-bing, bada-boom! Glasses!" Rodney said, holding his glasses in the air.

"Rodney, this is an excellent piece of work." Liege said.

"Why, I do my best to impress. You are the best leader who deserves the best." Rodney said.

"No one likes a suck up Rodney." Liege said, glaring at him.

"Yes Liege." Rodney said in a sadden tone.

"Now Siren, if you please deliver this to the Grimm in the Aquamarine Area. His name is Mince." Liege said.

"Yes Liege. I shall get it done." Siren said. She then notice Rodney chuckling evilly in the corner.

"Yes. Most delightful. With this, we are a closer step to taking over, JEWEL CITY! MUWAHAHAHA!" Rodney laughed.

"He does that from time to time. I think it's because he has a screw loose. Just ignore him. That's the best course of action." Liege said.

Siren only just stared, coming to one conclusion.

"I need more female friends." Siren said, with annoyed look on her face.

(Jurassic World: Safety Shelter A)

The Jurassic World: Safety Shelters are areas where researchers study the dinosaurs of Jurassic World. Other people come here for sightseeing. Right now, Ethan, a recovered Anna, and team RWBY were in a café. Right now, what they were seeing was something incredible. It was a Black Tyranno. It was a massive T-Rex that stood 40 feet tall. The shelters are protected by an invisible force field, so everyone inside is safe. The monster let out a roar, as it then walked away to find some food. RWBY and Anna could not believe they were seeing a creature that should be extinct. It was a scary but yet amazing scene.

"I never thought I would see the day where I would see a dinosaur. But here I am." Anna said.

"There's Dinosaurs in the game too!? Who created this game?" Weiss asked.

"I don't know. But I would hate to go up against that thing." Blake said. She imagine getting eaten by one.

"I need to take a picture!" Ruby yelled, as she grabbed her scroll.

"He looks strong. I bet I can take him out." Yang said.

"Yang. The last thing I want is for you to be turned into dino food." Weiss said, glaring at Yang.

"That means a lot to me Weiss." Yang said, as she hugged the heiress, as Weiss rolled her eyes.

"Just go with it Weiss. They won't stop doing it, so you might as well accept it." Weiss thought to herself.

Ethan just sat down, and did a couple of stretches. He was a bit sore after his the battle he had. He turned in the Assassin to the authorities, and now he was preparing for the questioning he was about to receive. Team RWBY and Anna regained their composure and then turned towards Ethan.

"So. What do you want to ask me first? 'Where are we? Who am I? My disk? How you got here?' Those are the questions I bet are on your mind right now." Ethan said.

"How about, where are we?" Anna asked.

"Well that's simple. You're in the spirit world. The realm of Duel Monsters, meaning their home. Whatever you want to call it. It's also where I live." Ethan said.

"SPIRIT WORLD!" Ruby yelled.

"REALM OF DUEL MONSTERS!" Weiss yelled.

"YOU LIVE HERE!?" Anna, Blake and Yang yelled.

"Is it really that difficult to take in?" Ethan asked, sarcastically.

"Well, the spirit world makes more sense, after seeing the T-Rex and the Serpent. What's more shocking is that you live here!" Anna yelled.

"Hm. I guess that is quite shocking for someone who lives in the standard dimension. Well, the more you know, the better. I suppose." Ethan said. Weiss then decided to ask Ethan the next question.

"So who exactly are you? From the duel disk weapon, and being hunted by an Assassin, you must have an interesting history." Weiss said.

"Like your one talk. But, since you told me your secret life, I'll tell you my life." Ethan said.

"So, you live here with all of these dinosaurs?" Ruby asked.

"No. I live with the Igknights at their headquarters. That's where they trained me to become a master of combat, and a survivor in this world." Ethan said.

"You live with the Igknights. The monsters of your deck?" Blake asked.

"Correct. Ever since I was a child, those knights have given me home, and they taught me everything I need to know." Ethan said.

"That's so cool! So what's it like living with monsters like that!?" Ruby asked.

Ethan then thought about it.

(Ethan's flashback to twelve years ago)

The scene takes place in a forest, with a dirt road in the middle. In a distance there was a jeep coming up. Inside was Templar, Squire, Gallant, and Crusader, with Squire at the wheel. Next to the jeep was Five year old Ethan running next to the jeep, and trying to keep up with it.

"'Come on boy! You can do it!" Crusader yelled.

"Just thirty more miles to go!" Templar yelled.

"You guys are crazy!" Ethan yelled.

"Trust us. You will be thanking us later in the future. As for now, keep running you maggot!" Gallant yelled.

"Why did you call me that!?" Ethan yelled.

"It's called motivation. Now prove to me you're a dragon, and not a maggot." Gallant yelled.

"I'M NOT A MAGGOT!" Ethan yelled in anger, as he began running even faster.

"Ah. The "Maggot" name always gets them, and it never fails. He'll make a great knight in the future." Gallant said, knowing Ethan will become a great warrior.

(Back to the Present)

"It was a big lesson to me. Probably the source of my motivation." Ethan said, remembering the lesson of honor and chivalry the knights taught him.

"Sounds like you had a blast. So what's up with that duel disk of yours?" Yang asked.

"Also, can I get one?" Ruby asked.

"Oh. This duel disk functions like any normal disk, only this one has a weapon system installed into it." Ethan said.

"That we know. What we need to know is why." Blake said.

"I'm getting there. Just be patient. While training with the Igknights, they taught me how to channel my spirit energy through duel monster cards. It's for combat, or when I get called for missions." Ethan said.

"You go on missions. What kind of missions?" Blake asked.

"You know the usual. Fighting bandits, dueling criminal duelists, stopping rampaging monsters, bodyguard duty for important political figures here, and more stuff like that." Ethan said.

"You do all that!?" Ruby asked, as her eyes lit up.

"Uh…yeah." Ethan said.

"Then you're just like a huntsman!" Ruby said with delight.

"The term is Spirit Duelist, but I guess Huntsman is synonym for it. There's are others just like me. I happen to know this one person. She was a good partner. Did everything effectively and didn't get in my way. She barely wasted my time." Ethan said.

"So in short, this is your job?" Anna asked.

"Pretty much. Pay is pretty good to." Ethan said.

"If you're so good, then why are you in Jewel city?" Yang asked.

"The Igknights thought it would be best if I get an education. Gallant was worried that I was spending way too much time in the battlefield. He decided that I needed to make a normal life." Ethan said.

"Sounds like you have an active life. I'm kind of jealous. I mean, we're still in school, and you're already fighting all of these monsters!" Yang said.

"While I'll admit it's entertaining to do my job, it does has its faults. One time, I had to fight a Spiral Serpent when I was out at sea. I'm lucky to be alive. If it weren't for that kaiju that got rudely woken up, I may not be here today." Ethan said, not wanting to remember that moment.

"You saw a Kaiju!?" Anna exclaimed.

"Can we not talk about that? It's a sensitive subject." Ethan said.

"Sure thing. So, how do you summon and use those cards?" Anna asked.

"Well, by channeling my spiritual energy, I'm able to access the inner power of my cards. However, there are restrictions to this. I must be in an area that has sufficient spirit energy to absorb. I can use my own spirit energy to access these levels, but they will be drained faster. Level 1 is where I can use my weapon, or my sword. Level 2 is where I can use spells and traps in combination. Level 3 is where people can summon monsters. I can use my spirit energy to go to level 3, but summoning monsters requires a lot of spiritual energy. By being in an area with a great amount of spirit energy, the higher the level will go." Ethan explained.

"What about me? I summon team RWBY, and I don't have any fancy weapon duel disk. Does that mean I have a good amount of spiritual energy?" Anna asked.

"Not exactly. Anyone can summon monsters like that. The difference is that monsters that are summon through the method of duel monsters are restricted by their powers of attack and defense points. Monsters played by people like me, require a bit more energy to summon monsters, but those monsters are more lively, and realistic. They can use the environment to their advantage. They can evade attacks. A good example is that an army of weaker monsters, summoned by a Spirit duelist, like me, can overpower a stronger monster that was summoned by a normal duelist, within minutes." Ethan explained.

"But team RWBY were able to take out that Metal monster with ease." Anna said.

"I said it before, but it's due to the fact that they are part spirit. Duel Spirits can use their own strength to enhance their abilities. Heck. Some of them are so strong that they can access their stronger forms, without the need of summoning requirement." Ethan said.

At the mentioning of that, he soon found himself face to face to Weiss.

"You mean to tell us that we can become our normal size selves!?" Weiss asked.

"W-well, I guess if you're in the spirit world, you can channel your spirit energy more easily, thus allowing yourself to become your synchro forms. Since your spirit is connected to both your tuner and synchro cards, I guess it's possible for you to change forms without the need of another monster to tune with." Ethan said.

"But won't it hurt Anna?" Ruby asked.

"No. You would be using you only spirit energy, which is completely separate from Anna." Ethan said.

"You're helping us." Weiss said.

"What?" Ethan said.

"I refuse to stay in this miniature form any longer! You're helping us!" Weiss yelled.

"I don't have time for this okay. I got to get you guys back." Ethan said.

"It can wait! Also, I don't care if this is a waste of your time! You're teaching us and that's final!" Weiss yelled.

Ethan just stared at the heiress. He figure she wouldn't take no for an answer. He just sighed and decided to go with it.

"Fine. I'll teach you." Ethan said.

"Why thank you. I'm glad we could come to an agreement. We'll begin shortly. I need to get some water first." Weiss said, leaving for a glass. Ethan only looked at her for a while.

"You deal with that every day?" Ethan asked.

"Hey! She's my BFF! And besties stick together no matter what!" Ruby happily said.

"Now that's either dedication. Or just being naïve. " Ethan thought.

(Aquamarine Area, south area)

In the Aquamarine Area, Siren was busy making her way through the area, looking for the Grimm assigned to the area. She was told that he was being concealed in a large trench coat, and was wearing sunglasses, to hide his appearance from the public. Siren was super annoyed. The only good thing about this is that Hidou wasn't around.

"Jeez. Where is here? Liege said he should be around here. Sometimes I wonder if all of this work is worth the effort. Hey! Mince! It's me! Siren!" Siren yelled. She then felt a presence appear behind her.

"So you're the Grimm of beauty. Am I mistaken?" Mince, asked.

"DEAD RIGHT YOU ARE! I'm the Rogue Grimm! Geez. Why was I given that name?" Siren yelled.

"Uh…sorry about that. Anyway, if you're here for a status update, then I got nothing. The Huntsman are well hidden. I searched everywhere. One moment when I'm close to their aura, they disappear at the last minute. I looked everywhere. Even underneath the trashcans. Am I dealing with ghosts?" Mince asked.

"First of all: ew. Second of all: not really. Here. This should help." Siren said, handing Mince the glasses.

"Aren't these 3D glasses? I'm not in the mood for a movie right now." Mince said.

"But I think you're in the mood for some Huntsmen. With this little device, your eyes will get a boost." Siren said.

"Hmph. This is the best prescription I've gotten." Mince said, as he placed the glasses over his eyes.

"Well. Happy hunting." Siren said, leaving Mince.

"You're not going to stick around?" Mince asked.

"I'm not really interested in dueling. I guess that's why I don't duel much." Siren said.

"That's kind of funny. You better learn soon. This little card game is method of battle now. Time to jet! Catch you on the flipside." Mince said, leaving Siren.

"Duel monsters. What's so interesting about it? It's just a card game. Why are battle done like this? I get the whole dark magic thing, but what so special about it?" Siren thought. Siren was the only Grimm who could care less about dueling. Everyone else was hooked into it. Shinrai may feel no emotion, but since he's like that, he was the only exception. Hidou enjoys the thrill of dueling, and he loves it more when he's completely destroying his opponent. Right now, she has a deck given to her by Liege. Hidou got his deck through the corrupt spirits of the Evilswarms, while Shinrai had his deck from the beginning. Siren wondered why this question is still in her head.

As for Mince, he was following the aura trail. Once it started to get hot, it then turned cold. He then smiled.

"Hey Huntsmen! You've been giving me a run for my money for quite some time. However, it's time to come out and face me mano a grimo. Or Manos a grimo. Or is Mano y Chico a Grimo, because one of you is a girl. Oh whatever. Either way, I'm going to find you." Mince said. He then turned on the Aura detector goggles, and his normal vision was replaced with a frame. He then saw two outlines, one green and one pink. The outlines, then took the form of two small humans, one male and one female.

"It works! Don't believe me. Just watch." Mince said. He then picked up an iron pipe, and swung it towards the huntsmen. The huntsmen dodged the attack and looked surprised, but regained composure. "You think I got lucky? Heh. Guess again." Mince then swung the pipe once more, attacking the invisible huntsmen. Mince then began swinging the pipe furiously, smashing multiple boxes and crates. The huntsmen then fled knowing they can't take him on in their current state.

"You can't hide, but you can run! …..Darn it! I messed it up!" Mince yelled. He then ran after the huntsmen, to end their lives.

(Aquamarine Supermarket)

Elsewhere, Zack, Mia, Jaune and Pyrrha were making their way to the market. Around that time, Mia just realized something.

"Hey Zack. I have something important to tell you." Mia said.

"Well shoot." Zack said.

"It's about Fusion Substitute. Apparently the card is getting updated. It can only use monsters that are on the field. Not in the hand. Might as well tell you now before you use it again in a duel." Mia explained.

"That is good advice. I think I'll just use one. I prefer to have access to all my fusion materials at any given time. Also, I think Fusion Gate is a better card." Zack said.

"True, but you have to be careful of the cards you use. They get banished instead of going to the grave." Mia said.

"No sweat Mia. That's what Voltic is for." Zack said.

"If you ask me, Flash is more useful. Banishing him, along with three other heroes gives you access to a normal spell in your grave. Like polymerization. And if you don't need it, you could also get another spell instead." Mia said.

"Yeah. Man. If there is one thing I hate about duel monsters, it's that there are multiple ways to win a duel, but I can't use all of them." Zack said.

"Just deal with it. Hey is that Mr. Thomas?" Mia asked, looking into the distance. True to be told, a middle aged man, wearing a blue apron, with a bushy mustache and short black and gray hair, running towards Zack and Mia.

"Oh hey kids. Shops closed. Normally I would make an exception after all your mother has done for me, but I need to get away. There's this crazy maniac running around the shop, in the alley holding a metal pipe. He scared away all of my customers! My mother told me never to talk to crazy people." Mr. Thomas said. Zack gave a glare.

"Crazy insane people." Mr. Thomas said. Zack gave it a pass.

"What is with today's society? So what do you think he was doing back there?" Mia asked.

"I don't know! All he ever blabbed about was (in a gruff voice) 'I'm going to kill you huntsmen!' I mean, is he delusional? Hunters do their jobs in forests! Anyway, you two best make for home. Your mother would cry so hard if you got hit by a pipe. Toddles!" Mr. Thomas said, as he started running again. Zack, Mia, Jaune and Pyrrha took a while to register what he said.

"Wait. Did he said Huntsmen?" Zack asked.

"If there's a chance, it could be Nora and Ren." Jaune said.

"But Ren's semblance should evade any Grimm's detection." Pyrrha said, knowing Ren and Nora wouldn't engage if necessary.

"Grimm here are a bit different. If they can play duel monsters, they can probably do a whole lot more." Mia said.

"Alright guys. Let's take action, and move out!" Zack yelled. He then ran forward, but did not see the person making a corner and accidentally bumped into the person. When he looked up, it was a female around seventeen years old, with pink hair with black lining, and two red eyes, with black pupils. She wore a blue tank top with a camellia flower design, and white short shorts. She also had a silver dagger like pendant around her neck. It was none other than Siren

"HEY! Watch where you're going!" Siren yelled.

"Sorry! I'm in quite a rush." Zack frantically said.

"That doesn't mean you can run into people and knock them down." Siren yelled.

"Like I said, I'm sorry. I've got to jet!" Zack said, running off. Mia then came up and bowed to Siren.

"I apologize for my brother's rashness. He's a bit wild at times." Mia said, as she then ran after Zack. Jaune and Pyrrha then hovered by, and Siren saw them.

"You know Pyrrha. I think I'm getting the hang of this whole spirit thing." Jaune said.

"Yeah. It's pretty cool to fly. Your whole body just feels so light." Pyrrha said, spinning in the air for fun.

Siren then realized she just met the duelist of the Huntsmen who came here not too long ago. "That kid. If I'm not mistaken, then he's Zack. An E-Hero deck user, as well as using the archetype of Hunter Heroes. If that's the case, then is highly likely he's going to duel Mince." Siren thought. For some reason, she couldn't help but follow, without arousing suspicion.

Back to the Grimm known as Mince, he was behind the Aquamarine supermarket, and was swinging his pipe towards the aura outlines that kept on dodging his swings. Mince then came up with an idea. He then swung towards the huntsmen, who dodged, only for mince to perform a low round house kick at the Green aura. Upon contact, the semblance was deactivated, and the Huntsmen were revealed. The Huntsman that got kicked into a crates was wearing a dark green, diagonally-buttoned, long sleeved tailcoat that is red on the inside, with black and gold trimming and pink cuffs. He was also wearing a black, long sleeved shirt beneath the suit, and light tan pants with black shoes. He also has long black hair tied into a ponytail that ends midway down his back. There was also a magenta streak in it. He also had magenta eyes. This is Lie Ren.

The second one to be revealed is a huntress. She was wearing a collared black vest, ending at her waist, with two layers of clothing underneath, being red and light-blue. She also wore a white sleeveless top with a tiny heart shape between her collarbone, and white detached sleeves on each arm. She also wears fingerless gloves, and a pink skirt that goes up to the mid-thigh. She had shoes that were pink and white. She has short orange hair and turquoise eyes. This Nora Valkyrie.

What is similar between the two is that they are both chibi sized. Nora then ran up to the fallen Ren, who was struggling to get up.

"Ren! You alright?" Nora asked.

"I'm fine. But I'm not sure if we can take him on in our state." Ren said.

"Well, you know what they say. The bigger they are, the harder their legs break!" Nora said, as she glare intensely at the Grimm.

"Normally I would agree with you, but this Grimm seems more versatile. It can probably use tactics to counter us. Using those glasses is just proof that it can adapt to my semblance." Ren said.

"So we're only losing because this guy is wearing glasses?" Nora asked.

"Strange, but yes." Ren said.

"So what will it be Huntsmen? Run and die? Or fight and die? Either way, you're going to die." Mince said.

The two huntsmen drew out their weapons. Nora's weapon was Magnhild, hammer and grenade launcher hybrid weapon. Ren's weapons are the twin automatic pistols, with sickle like blades attached under the barrels, known as StormFlower. Mince smiled as he twirled his pipe. Just then a distant rattling of wheels was heard. Everyone then turned towards the sound, and it was none other than Zack and Mia pushing a shopping cart loaded with multiple stone bricks, and with multiple pipes sticking out of the cart.

"Come on Mia! You got some muscle! So use it!" Zack yelled.

"You think I don't know that!" Mia yelled.

Mince didn't had time to react as the shopping cart, collided with his body. Pushing him back to the floor. While down, Mia armed herself with a fry pan, and ran towards the Grimm, and began smacking him.

"Take this! And that! And some of this!" Mia yelled.

"You little runt! You think you can kill me with that!?" Mince yelled.

"No. But it's really fun." Mia said, as she kept smacking the down Mince. Mince then got up and swung his pipe, but Mia's small body allowed her to move faster and avoid the strike. She then ran away, as the anger Mince chased her.

"Alright Zack. I gave you time. Spend it well. And hurry! I don't want to die!" Mia thought.

"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE BRAT!" Mince yelled, as his anger was completely focused on Mia.

Zack then ran back to Ren and Nora. Jaune and Pyrrha just came into the area as well.

"Hey Ren! It's Jaune and Pyrrha!" Nora exclaimed.

"Well. I think things are starting to take a turn for the better." Ren said, as Jaune was first to come up.

"Ren, Nora! You guys are okay! I don't know what we would of done if the worst were to happen." Jaune said. Nora then walked up to him.

"I'm quite shocked Jaune. You should know that it takes a lot more to put us down. I am the queen of the castle after all." Nora said triumphantly.

"Well. That's one way of putting it." Pyrrha said.

"We're just glad to see that the two of you are okay. I suppose those two kids are your friends?" Ren asked.

"Yes. He's really helpful. And here he comes now." Pyrrha said. All of team JNPR then turned around seeing Zack running towards them. He then crouched down to their height, and then examining Nora and Ren up close. Nora in turn did the same thing. The staring continued for a while. Zack then moved back, and threw out his hand.

"Name's Zack. Nice to meet the both of you." Zack said, smiling.

"You're no Ren, but aren't you sweet. Nice to meet you to Zack." Nora said. She then grabbed Zack's hand as squeezed it firmly. Zack then got on one knee, as he endured the pain.

"That's…a strong grip you got their Nora." Zack said, trying not to cry.

"Oh. Sorry about that. I work out daily. And boy it's extreme." Nora said.

"It is?" Zack asked. Ren then came up to him.

"My word of advice. If you do not wish to have a broken body, I suggest you try and avoid getting involve with her shenanigans. Trust me on this one." Ren said.

"So you must be Ren, the calm one." Zack said. Meanwhile behind him, Mia was still running away from Mince.

"You can't catch me! I ran track back in elementary school!" Mia yelled.

"YOU'RE SO DEAD!" Mince yelled.

"Is she going to be okay?" Jaune asked concerned.

"I wouldn't sweat about it. Mia is as slippery as an eel. She can worm her way out of any tough spot. However, I don't think she'll be able to keep this much longer. Do any of you have any cards?" Zack said.

"Cards?" Ren and Nora asked.

"Of course you're still new to this." Zack said. Suddenly, he notice two cards on the ground basked in light, as images form on them. Nora and Ren were taken back from what they were seeing. Jaune and Pyrrha just watched, knowing what was happening. Zack then walked towards the cards, and picked them up. He then grinned.

"Heh. I guess it's time to take action." Zack said. He placed his new cards in his deck, as they were then shuffled.

"What was that all about?" Ren asked.

"It's a bit complicated. But also very simple." Jaune said.

"It's how we will be battling the Grimm. It's actually quite interesting from this standpoint." Pyrrha said.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but as long as I can smash something, I'm on board with it." Nora said. Ren nodded in agreement.

Mia then came running back to Zack, and she was sweating hard after running from Mince. Mince was a Grimm so he had more stamina.

"Please tell me you got what we needed." Mia said.

"I got what we needed." Zack then turned towards Mince. "Hey buddy! You want the Huntsmen and huntresses? Come get'em." Zack said, as his gesture his deck towards Mince.

"A duel? I would prefer destroying the Huntsman and Huntress with this pipe, but oh well. This is just as fun. Very well then. I shall defeat you, and the name's Mince by the way. Are you sure you're ready?" Mince said.

"Bring it!" Zack said, pushing the button.

JUSTICE E-HERO!

The same projection appeared from last time. Nora and Ren taken back by this, and Mia just faced palmed.

"What…is this?" Ren asked.

"It's just my brother's method of an entrance. Nobody else does this, except him." Mia said.

"It was pretty flashy if you ask me. I approve it!" Nora said, giving a thumbs up.

Mince had his duel disk form from his arm, and inserted his deck into the disk. Zack just grinned. He then placed the deck on his arm, and attached the D-Tablet to it, as the disk formed.

"GAME ON!" Zack yelled.

DECK SET! LET'S DUEL! SUPER DUEL! ULTRA DUEL! WHAT'S YOUR DUEL!? I'M A DUELIST!

"DUEL!" Both players yelled. They then drew five cards from their deck, and took on a dueling stance.

"It's…a card game." Ren said.

"Well. I'm not seeing much excitement from this." Nora said, in a disappointed tone. Mia then came up to the two.

"That's what they all say. Trust me. There's more to this game than meets the eye. By the way, I'm Mia Aegis. Zack's younger sister. Pleasure." Mia said extending her hand. Ren then came up first, to spare Mia from Nora's handshake.

"Likewise. I must say, you're quite more mature than you look." Ren said.

"I get that a lot. Anyway, just watch, and you'll be changing your minds in a flash." Mia said.

Meanwhile, no seem to notice that up on the roof, Siren was watching the duel, and she wondered why.

Turn 1: Zackery Aegis
Zackery Aegis: 4000LP vs Mince: 4000LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 5 vs Mince Hand: 5

"It's my move Mince! I'll heat things up right now, literally! I play Elemental Hero Lady Heat, in attack mode!" Zack said, playing the card on his disk.

Elemental HERO Lady Heat
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Fire]
Pyro/Effect
ATK: 1300 DEF: 1000

A portal made out of fire appeared on the ground, as Lady Heat then emerged from the portal. She was wearing white spandex suit that was crimson red on the right side of her body, along with a white stocking on her left leg with a suspender on her left leg. She was wearing a red metallic skirt, with golden waist armor. She also was wearing golden shoulder armor, with an orange blouse around her shoulders, and her arms were equipped with red extended bracelets. Her hair was bright orange, and curved upwards on the sides, and there was an orange red crown on her head. She also had bright blue eyes. She then moved her arms in a circular motion, and maneuver the flames around to demonstrate her power. Team JNPR were taken back of how fierce Lady Heat look. Ren and Nora were surprised as well.

"Amazing. So this is duel monsters." Ren said.

"I'm intrigued again!" Nora exclaimed.

"Lady Heat sure is beautiful." Jaune said.

"She's just a card Jaune." Pyrrha said, feeling a bit nervous. Zack then continued.

"I'll set one card facedown and end my turn! Now Lady Heat's effect activates! During my End Phase, Lady Heat nails you with 200 points of damage for every Elemental HERO monster that I control! Go! Inferno Rage!" Zack yelled.

Lady Heat generated a ball of fire, and fired it towards Mince, damaging him in an explosion.

Mince: 4000LP – 200LP = 3800LP

"Fast and hot! I like this kid's style." Nora said.

"It takes more than brute strength to win a battle, or duel in this case." Ren said.

"That's what I said to him! Strategy is the key to victory." Mia said.

"Indeed it is." Ren said.

Nora then gave off a glare at Mia.

"Mia. I know you're new here, so I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't take my man." Nora said.

"I was just being friendly. Besides, I'm twelve years old." Mia said.

"Alright then, I'll trust you. But to let you know, I'm watching you. Always watching." Nora said.

"OK. That's just creepy." Mia said, in a deadpanned tone.

Turn 2: Mince
Zackery Aegis: 4000LP vs Mince: 4000LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 3 vs Mince Hand: 5 + 1

"It's my move now, I draw!" Mince yelled

"Hey! Why did he get to draw, and Zack didn't?" Nora asked in anger. Mia then explained.

"The player who goes first doesn't get to draw first, nor attack. I get the whole no attacking thing, but no drawing on the first turn makes no sense to me. Then again, it might encourage players to make small plays on their first turn." Mia said.

"Well that sounds stupid! It's just an extra card!" Nora yelled.

"Just go with it Nora." Ren said.

"Wonder what Mince will do." Pyrrha said. Mince then proceeded with his turn.

"I play one monster in facedown defense position, and two cards facedown as well. I now end my turn!" Mince declared. In the distance Siren watched from a distance.

"What's he doing? A monster with only 1300 attack points should be easy to beat. Why go defensive, when your opponent is pressuring you?" Siren thought.

"He's planning something. I just know it." Pyrrha said.

"Break his legs Zack!" Nora yelled.

Turn 3: Zackery Aegis
Zackery Aegis: 4000LP vs Mince: 3800LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 3+1 vs Mince Hand: 3

"My turn now! I draw!" Zack yelled.

"Hold it! I play a trap card! Secret Barrel! This card deals you 200 points of damage for every card you have in your hand and field! There are four cards in your hand, and two cards on your field. That means you six times the amount of damage! FIRE!" Mince yelled.

Secret Barrel
[Trap: Normal]

In an instant, six turret guns appeared on Mince's field, with three green, orange, and a purple barrel. The turrets then opened fire, and bombarded Zack with a furry of bullets. Zack covered himself with his arms. His entire body felt it was being ripped into shred. Team JNPR stared in horror, as being attacked like that looked brutal. Siren just stared in awe, as Mince already inflicted more damage than his opponent on the third turn.

Zackery Aegis: 4000LP – (200 x 6 = 1200) = 2800LP

"That did not look pleasant. I'm not sure our aura would be able to withstand that." Ren said.

"Zack. You okay?" Jaune asked.

"I'm fine. It take a lot more than that to take out an Aegis. Moving right along from that setback, I play the spell card Polymerization from my hand! I'm fusing Elemental HERO Sparkman and Elemental HERO Necroshade that are in my hand!" Zack yelled. Sparkman and Necroshade then appeared on the field, as they then both jumped into the air, and their bodies distorted in the swirl of light.

Polymerization
[Spell: Normal]

Elemental HERO Sparkman
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Light]
Warrior
ATK: 1600 DEF: 1400

Elemental HERO Necroshade
[LV: 5] [Attribute: Dark]
Warrior/Effect
ATK: 1600 DEF: 1800

"Fusion Summoning is this boy's method of combat. Fusion are hard to bring out, but they have devastating effects." Siren thought.

"Now this is a light show!" Nora said, feeling excited.

"It gets better from here." Jaune said.

"Now introducing the Hero of darkness! The vigilante of black lighting! I summon Elemental HERO Darkbright!

Elemental HERO Darkbright
[LV: 6] [Attribute: Dark]
Warrior/Fusion/Effect
ATK: 2000 DEF: 1000

What emerged out of the swirl of light was a hero that gave off an eerie chill. This hero was wearing a black suit, with hints of dark red on the sides. The lower middle section of his body was silver, while the upper body was equipped with yellow armor that appeared to be jet wings. He was also equipped with silver knee armor, and yellow braces on his legs. His arms were equipped with yellow braces as well with sharp edges, and he had a belt that resembled a mask with two evil red eyes. His helmet was red and resembled that of a bat, with a yellow eye slit on his right eye, while the left was cracked. Darkbright then entered the field, as Black lighting appeared in the sky, and struck the ground around him.

"I…AM….DARKBRIGHT!" Darkbright yelled in a brooding tone, while throwing out his arm.

"Black lightning. Now that's awesome! I wish I could make my lighting pink! Than everyone would feel the wrath of Nora's lightning!" Nora yelled.

"Not to mention that entrance." Jaune said.

"His deck is quite…unique." Ren said, struggling to find the right words to describe it.

Pyrrha just nodded in agreement. Zack then grinned and immediately went on the offensive.

"Alright Darkbright! Attack Mince's facedown monster! Black lighting! Also, when Darkbright attacks a monster in facedown defense position, he inflicts piercing damage!" Zack yelled.

Darkbright then put his hands together, and generated a stream of black electricity, and fired a stream of it towards the facedown monster. The monster was then flipped face up and was reveal to be a small pink thin circular monster, with two purple and green small horns, with two yellow eyes and a thin circle with a plus symbol on it, floating above his head. His limbs were wire like, with purple and green hands and feet. This is Batteryman Micro-Cell. Micro-Cell was then struck by Darkbright's attack and then shattered. Due to Darkbright's piercing effect, the surge of black electricity damaged Mince greatly.

Mince: 3800LP – 1900LP = 1900LP

Batteryman Micro-Cell
[LV: 1] [Attribute: Light]
Thunder/Effect
ATK: 100 DEF: 100

"Was that a battery?" Ren asked.

"It looked like it. So in short we're fighting batteries." Pyrrha said

"Who cares!? We're in the lead now!" Nora yelled.

"Um, guys. Mince doesn't look nervous." Jaune said.

Mince then got up, and snickered.

"I activate Micro-Cell's ability! When flipped face-up, I can special summon one level four or lower Batteryman monster from my deck. So appear! Batteryman AA, in attack mode!" Mince yelled.

Batteryman AA
[LV: 3] [Attribute: Light]
Thunder/Effect
ATK: 0 DEF: 0

Several streams of electricity then manifested towards Mince's side of the field. AA then appeared from the flash. It had a red double A battery as its main body, with the positive side pointing up, and negative side at the lower end, and there was a number 3 on its chest. It had wire like limbs, with orange gloves, gauntlets and boots, with silver studs. Its head was separated from its body, hovering over the positive side of the battery. It had bright green eye, two blue and orange horns coming out from the lower area of the head, and a recycle symbol on its forehead. It also used electricity to from an electric scarf around its invisible neck.

"A monster with zero attack points is what he wanted? What a waste of cards." Siren said. Mince wasn't finish yet.

"Now before you mock me or ask me about the fact that I summon a monster with zero attack points, let me remind you that you always need more than one battery to power a device, or a win! I play other facedown! Inferno Reckless Summon! Whenever I summon one monster with 1500 or less attack points, and you control monsters, I can summon as many monsters with the same name of the first special summon monster from my deck, hand, or graveyard. I play two more Batteryman AAs from my deck!" Mince yelled.

Inferno Reckless Summon
[Spell: Quick-Play]

Inferno Reckless Summon showed multiple skeletons with red eyes rising from a graveyard. Just then, two more flashes of electricity than appeared on the field, as two more AA made their appearance and took on an offensive stance.

"Of course, you can do the same with one of your monsters. So do you have any more Lady Heats in your deck?" Mince asked.

"Sadly, I don't." Zack said, wishing he did.

"Well, it's about to get worse for you and better for me, because if all Batteryman AA are in attack mode, they all gain 1000 attack points for each Batteryman AA that I control. Since I have three of them, their attack strength rises to 3000 attack points!" Mince yelled.

Batteryman AA (1): 0ATK + 1000ATK + 1000ATK + 1000ATK = 3000ATK

Batteryman AA (2): 0ATK + 1000ATK + 1000ATK + 1000ATK = 3000ATK

Batteryman AA (3): 0ATK + 1000ATK + 1000ATK + 1000ATK = 3000ATK

The AA were then linked together through several currents of electricity, in a triangle formation.

"With just two cards, he manage to call forth monsters with 3000 attack points, on his opponent's turn. While impressive, that leaves the question if he can use them." Siren thought. Team JNPR was just as shocked, and Mia was analyzing the field.

"Mince managed to bring out three monsters and raise their attack strength to 3000 on Zack's turn, with minimal effort. However, Zack manage to get almost halve of his life points. So you could say it's somewhat even." Mia said.

"More like unfair! How are we supposed to fight that kind of formation!?" Nora yelled.

"Yeah. Three monsters with 3000 attack points is not something anyone would want to go up against. I can just feel the strength that those monsters give off." Pyrrha said.

"I'm sure Zack will think of something. Hopefully." Jaune said.

"It's best to look on the bright side of things. Thus is a trait that every leader should have." Ren said.

"Also, I almost forgot to mention that after Micro-Cell is destroyed in battle after being flipped, I get to draw one card from my deck." Mince said, drawing a card.

"Well my Darkbright has another effect. Normally I wouldn't like it, but in a situation like this, I'm ok with it. After finishing an attack, during the end of the damage step, he automatically switches to defense mode. I'll switch Lady Heat to defense mode as well, and end my turn. Also, don't forget. Lady Heat burns you with 200 points of damage for every E-Hero out on my field. Now that I have two, you take 400 points of damage!" Zack said. Darkbright and Lady Heat then took on defensive stances, and Lady Heat generated an orb of fire, and shot it towards Mince, who brushed it off like it was nothing.

Mince: 1900LP – 400LP = 1500LP

Turn 4: Mince
Zackery Aegis: 2800LP vs Mince: 1500LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 1 vs Mince: 4+1

"My move now! Draw! Batteryman AA one. Take care of that annoying Lady Heat! Shock Stream!" Mince yelled.

In response, the first Batteryman AA sent a flash of electricity towards Lady Heat. Lady Heat did not cry, but she looked in pain, as she then shattered.

"Up next, Darkbright! Batteryman AA number two, let him have it! Shock Stream!" Mince yelled.

The second Batteryman AA sent out a stream of electricity towards Darkbright, who was ironically affected by lighting attack and then destroyed.

"How does a Hero of Black lightning get destroyed by an electrical based attack? It doesn't really make sense." Jaune said.

"I have a feeling that not a lot of things will make sense in this game. We are fighting batteries after all." Ren said.

"Is it wrong to say they look kind of cute?" Nora asked.

"Yes and no. But mostly no Nora." Pyrrha said.

"Don't worry guys. That's completely normal in this world." Mia said.

Mince then smiled as he was about send his third Batteryman AA to finish the job. However, he notice some black electricity was forming around on Zack's field. Suddenly a black apparition made of black electricity rose from where Darkbright once stood. It took on the shape of dark bright, with yellow eyes, and only a black body of electricity. It had no legs, nor arms, as if he were concealed in a black cape.

"What's going on here!?" Mince demanded.

"Heh. Darkbright is the symbol of vengeance! When he's destroyed in combat or by effect, I can target one monster you control, and Darkbright takes him down! Go! Dark Static Vengeance!" Zack yelled.

The apparition then sprouted two dark arms, with sharp fingers and lunged towards the third Batteryman AA. It then grabbed it, and sent a strong black current through its body, destroying it. Team JNPR was a bit frighten by the scene, while Mia just smiled.

"Now that was scary. But awesome at the same time!" Nora exclaimed.

"It was a bit disturbing, but I'm glad he's with us." Jaune said.

"Also since he lost a Batteryman AA, the attack power of the other battery monsters decrease as well." Mia said now feeling confident.

Batteryman AA (1): 3000ATK – 1000ATK = 2000ATK

BatterymanAA (2): 3000ATK – 1000ATK = 2000ATK

Pyrrha and Ren just focused on the battle, as it was going to be Zack's turn soon.

"I end my turn with two cards facedown." Mince said.

Turn 5: Zack
Zackery Aegis: 2800LP vs Mince: 1500LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 1+1 vs Mince Hand: 3

"Alright, let's do this! I draw! I play a facedown! Fusion Reverse! Thanks to this card, I can reveal one fusion monster from my extra deck, and then I can add one of the listed fusion materials to my hand, as well as a polymerization from my graveyard. I'll reveal
Plasma Vice, and add Elemental HERO Bladedge to my hand, along with the polymerization in my graveyard." Zack said, performing all of the actions.

Fusion Reverse
[Trap: Normal]

Fusion Reverse showed an orange imp monster emerging from a trap card that was shot out of a deck. Zack then added Bladedge and Polymerization to his hand to his hand.

"You plan on another fusion summon?" Mince asked.

"Not right now. Instead, I'm going to activate Necroshade's ability from the graveyard. If he's just chilling in there, I'm allowed to summon a high level Elemental HERO without paying a tribute. So make way for Elemental HERO Bladedge!" Zack yelled, playing the card.

Elemental HERO Bladedge
[LV: 7] [Attribute: Earth]
Warrior/Effect
ATK: 2600 DEF: 1800

Bladedge then appeared from a portal from the ground. His entire armor was made up of gold and three green gems on the lower and upper body, and on his helmet, with a black body suit underneath. His helmet had two sharp horns on both sides of his head, and it showed his two blue eyes. For weaponry, he had two razor wings on his back, and two razor blades on his arms. Team JNPR were amazed of how it looked, while Mia's expression was amusement, from seeing their reactions. It reminded her of the time, when she first saw Phoenix Gearfried on the battlefield.

"Now that's a HERO is the definition of style." Jaune said.

"He looks incredibly strong. Not to mention a bit sharp." Pyrrha said.

"He's really shiny!" Nora said.

"That's all you have to say about him?" Ren asked.

"Alright Bladedge! I think it's time to put Mince on, Edge! Show him how you got your name!" Zack punned. Team JNPR just shot looks at him, while Mia just face palmed.

Bladedge didn't mind. He then jumped into the air, and dived towards a Batteryman AA, with his arms thrusted outwards. Mince scoffed.

"Paying not regard for an opponent's backrow can be a deadly mistake. Let me show you! I play Enchanted Javelin! Now I gain attack points equal to Bladedge's attack power!" Mince yelled.

Enchanted Javelin
[Trap: Normal]

A Javelin with green spear head with a yellow base, with red eyes and wings appeared in Mince's hand, as he shot a beam of energy towards Bladedge, absorbing his attack strength.

Mince: 1500LP + 2600LP = 4100LP

"Well that's not good." Zack said.

"It's about to get worse. I play a second trap card, Dimension Wall! Now all battle damage that I take is dealt to you instead. My Batteryman AA may fall, but like they say, no pain, no game." Mince said.

Dimension Wall
[Trap: Card]

Dimension Wall showed a male warrior attacking a female warrior, who created a dimension portal. The man's sword went through the portal, which lead to his back. Bladedge struck the Batteryman AA sending it flying back. A dimensional portal then opened behind the batteryman, as it was sent flying through it. Suddenly, another portal appeared behind Zack, as the Batteryman came out, and exploded. This caused Zack to be sent flying forward.

Zack: 2800LP – 600LP = 2200LP

Batteryman AA: 2000ATK – 1000ATK = 1000ATK

"Amazing. Not only did Mince gain life points, but he also manage to sneak in some damage. This is starting to get intense." Siren thought. Team JNPR gasp in horror seeing the opponent had the lead.

"This is bad! He has full health again, and Zack only has half of his health! This really, really bad." Jaune said, panicked.

"Calm down Jaune. Zack recklessness may have cost him, but the Battery monster attack has been lowered." Ren said.

"Plus, Bladedge is really strong! I would like to see how Mince will deal with that." Nora said.

"What do you think about this Mia?" Pyrrha asked.

"I don't know Pyrrha. In a duel, anything could happen. All it takes is one single card to make a difference, and how a person responds to that card. Zack on one hand prefers to toughen out anything his opponent throws at him, and strike back whenever he can. While it's a good trait, he needs to know when to hold back." Mia said.

"You know I can hear you. I'll end my turn for now." Zack said.

Turn 6: Mince Zackery Aegis: 2200LP vs Mince: 4100LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 2 vs Mince Hand 3+1

"Do you expect me to believe you can win with just one monster with 2600 attack points?" Mince asked, drawing his card.

"Nope. Because I've got more cards that want to have a crack at ya." Zack said.

"You better hope you're right because, you will be needing more than one card to save yourself. I now sacrifice my Batteryman AA, to advance summon Super-Electromagnetic Voltech Dragon!" Mince yelled.

Super-electromagnetic Voltech Dragon
[LV: 5] [Attribute: Light]
Thunder/Effect
ATK: 2400 DEF: 1000

Batteryman AA then disappeared, as another monster materialized. It was what appeared to be a robotic bipedal dragon, with a copper frame body, with several circuits connected to its body. It had two short arms, with three class, and two wings made out of metal, surrounded by electricity. Its head was as big as a T-Rex's, with tow red eyes, and its neck was surrounded by a surge of electricity. It also had a huge gap in its chest. The metallic Dragon let out a roar, signifying its arrival, as team JNPR was shocked by it. Nora had stars in her eyes, as Ren bonked her on the head, reminding her it was the enemies' monster. Zack narrowed his eyes.

"I'll admit that it's ferocious and cool. But Bladedge still holds an advantage." Zack said.

"That would be true, if it didn't sacrifice the proper monster. Voltech Dragon is a powerful monster, but can become more powerful, depending on the power source. A battery." Mince said.

"Oh." Zack said, realizing what was happening.

"Since I used Batteryman AA for the summoning, Voltech Dragon gains 1000 attack points!" Mince yelled.

Batteryman AA then reappeared and it was then placed in the dragon's chest. It then emitted several flashes of electricity, and the circuits on the dragon began to glow. The Dragon gave out another roar, as it felt its strength increase.

Super-Electromagnetic Voltech Dragon: 2400ATK + 1000ATK = 3400ATK

"Alright Voltech! Eradicate his Bladedge! Voltage Burst Stream!" Mince yelled.

The Dragon the unleashed a breath of electricity towards Bladedge who was destroyed in the electrical attack.

"Aw man. I like that guy." Zack said.

Zack: 2200LP – 800LP = 1400LP

"Worry about yourself. I play two card facedown, and end my turn." Mince said.

Turn 7: Zackery Aegis
Zackery Aegis: 1400LP vs Mince: 4100LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 2+1 vs Mince: 1

"Off to a rough start. But it's important to just keep moving. I'm coming for you! I play Graceful Charity. You know the drill, draw three, then ditch two. Everybody knows this." Zack said, playing the card he drew.

Graceful Charity
[Spell: Normal]

"Next I play Pot of Greed! Looks like, I'm getting two more cards." Zack said.

Pot of Greed
[Spell: Normal]

"Why do you bother explaining it?" Mince asked.

"You would do it too, right?" Zack asked.

"Hmmmmm. Yeah, I probably would do it too. I don't know why though." Mince said, pondering over the question.

"I think its best we leave it at that and never question it again." Zack said.

"Agreed. Now get on with your turn!" Mince yelled. Team JNPR and Mia were a bit stunned that Zack and Mince had a conversation, that wasn't about defeating each other.

"Oooookay. That was a bit weird." Jaune said.

"It's not every day you see two opposing sides make small talk." Ren said. Pyrrha and Nora didn't really know what to say. Mia just shrugged as it was another moment of Zack just being Zack.

"You know, I don't feel satisfied just yet. I summon Elemental HERO Bubbleman from my hand. If Bubbleman is the only monster on my field, I get to draw two cards." Zack said drawing cards.

Elemental HERO Bubbleman
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Water]
Warrior/Effect
ATK: 800 DEF: 1200

"Amazing. That kid managed to resupply his entire hand. Mince on the other hand is summoning monsters and powering them up to keep an advantage." Siren Thought

"Next I play the spell card, Miracle Fusion! Now by banishing fusion materials from my field or graveyard, I can summon an Elemental HERO fusion monster. I'll banish both Sparkman and Bladedge from my graveyard, to bring a HERO who can really bring the thunder." Zack yelled.

Miracle Fusion
[Spell: Normal]

Miracle Fusion showed a red and blue hero fusing around a Heroic letter H. Sparkman and Bladedge then emerged from their respective black portals, and began to fuse together in the swirl of light.

"Come forth and shock everything! Elemental HERO Plasma Vice!" Zack yelled.

Elemental HERO Plasma Vice
[LV: 8] [Attribute: Earth]
Warrior/Fusion/Effect
ATK: 2600 DEF: 2300

The Hero that emerged from the swirl of light was what one would define as epic. Plasma Vice was wearing a blue body suit with gold streaks, and was wearing heavy golden armor, with a green gem around his waist. He also had two golden boots. His helmet resembled that of Sparkman's, only with a golden visor. His weapons were two gigantic cutting edge gauntlets, with orange orbs on the back of the back of the hand. The warrior then landed on the battlefield, as the ground shook. Plasma Vice then stood up right, as electricity course through its body. Mince, felt a little intimidated. Nora immediately took a liking at this HERO. The rest of the team were immediately were in awe. Mia was also impressed. Siren's eyes widen from seeing the monster, as it looked fearsome.

"SO…..AWESOME! I WANT ONE!" Nora yelled.

"You think there's a huntsman like that back on Remnant?" Jaune asked.

"If there is, I would like to meet him." Pyrrha said.

Ren was completely speechless. Zack then made his move.

"I activate Plasma Vice's ability! I discard Fusion Substitute, and I can destroy one monster you control. Let him have it! Plasma Burst!" Zack yelled.

Plasma Vice then generated an orb of Plasma in his hands, and fired it towards the Voltech Dragon. The Dragon howled in pain and exploded. Zack made a cocky grin, while Mia just smiled, and rolled her eyes. Team JNPR just had their jaws hanging. Nora just slow clapped.

"I've got to get him to teach me how to do that." Nora said.

"Nora. You're already fine just the way you are. I would prefer if we keep it that way." Ren said. He did not want his close friend to destroy an entire city block.

"Aw! That means a lot to me Renny!" Nora said, hugging Ren, who still retained his stoic face. Zack then continued his turn.

"Alright Plasma! Time to let him have it! Plasma Slicer!" Zack yelled.

Plasma Vice then charged towards Mince, charging his gauntlets with electricity. Mince had a plan.

"I play the trap card, Burst Rebirth! By paying 2000 lifepoints, I can revive one monster from my graveyard in facedown defense position. I summon Batteryman Micro-Cell in defense mode!" Mince yelled, as a facedown monster appeared.

Mince: 4100LP – 2000LP = 2100LP

"That won't save you Mince! Plasma Vice can inflict piercing damage! So considered yourself breakfast, because you're toast! Plasma Vice! Strike Micro-Cell down!" Zack yelled, as Plasma Vice charged.

"I play my second Facedown! Impenetrable Attack! This card lets me either let my monster survive battle, or I prevents me from taking battle damage. I choose to evade damage!" Mince yelled.

Impenetrable Attack
[Trap: Normal]

Plasma Vice struck Micro-Cell with all of its might, causing it to explode. However, an invisible barrier appeared around Mince, protecting him from damage.

"Micro-cell's flip effect activates! I can now summon one level 4 or below Batteryman from my deck! I play Batteryman D from my deck in Defense mode! I also get to draw a card, since Micro-cell was destroyed." Mince yelled.

Batteryman D
[LV: 1] [Attribute: Thunder]
Thunder/Effect
ATK: 0 DEF: 1900

The Micro Cell then created an electrical portal, as Batteryman D emerged from it. This Batteryman had a huge yellow D Battery for its body with the number one on its chest, and stubby green arms and legs. He had an oval like head that's was green and white, and it also had three orange horns.

"Aw. He looks so adorable!" Nora said.

"Nora. I wouldn't go hugging monsters that belong to the Grimm. Besides, you can't be deceive by looks." Ren said.

"Ren. If anyone were to deceive me at the last minute, I would make it the last time they do it. But if it's a friend, I'll let them live. Or if it was for a surprise birthday party, then I would understand." Nora said. Mia was a bit frighten by Nora, but she retained her composure.

"I'll make sure to keep that in mind." Mia said, making a mental note. Zack couldn't do much for now.

"I'll play two cards facedown, and end my turn." Zack said, ending his turn.

"The kid's got some moves. He manages to summon a heavy hitter on almost all of his turns, which allows him to put pressure on Mince. However, Mince's usage of traps calls forth his monsters, and will counteract against a heavy hitter deck. At the same time, Mince will try to summon monsters with high attack power, or good effects to fight against the heavy hitter. The kid has a polymerization in his hand, and since he hasn't used it yet, he must not have compatible fusion material monsters. This is anyone's game. Wait. Why do even care about this? It's just a card game, yet here I am spectating and making observations of the players." Siren thought to herself.

Turn 8: Mince
Zackery Aegis: 1400LP vs Mince: 2100LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 1 vs Mince: 2+1

"My move now. I play the spell card Graceful Charity. Draw three, and discard two. That's all there is to it. I now summon Batteryman 9-Volt from my hand in attack mode!" Mince yelled.

Batteryman 9-Volt
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Light]
Thunder/Effect
ATK: 1000 DEF: 1000

Batteryman 9-Volt had a gray and black 9-Volt battery for the body, with blue and orange hands and feet, and wire like arms and legs. He had a square head, with two green circular eyes. He also had a recycle symbol on his forehead.

"I activate 9-Volt's effect! When summon to my field, I can add one Batteryman monster to my hand, and 9-Volt's attack and defense points are doubled! I add Batteryman Fuel Cell to my hand" Mince yelled. 9-Volt then charged his battery with electrical power, becoming twice as strong, literally.

Batteryman 9-Volt: 1000ATK + 1000ATK = 2000ATK
1000DEF + 1000DEF = 2000DEF

"Since I control two more Batteryman monsters on my field, I'm allowed to special summon Batteryman Fuel Cell from my hand. Look out, because he's joining in on the fun." Mince said.

Batteryman Fuel Cell
[LV: 6] [Attribute: Light]
Thunder/Effect
ATK: 2100 DEF: 0

Both D and 9-Volt shot a stream of Electricity into the sky, as the beams collided, and went straight down to the ground. Batteryman Fuel Cell then emerged from the ground. His pink body was rectangular, with the inside of chest inside being a huge fuel cell. He had two rectangular arms, pink arms with three claw fingers, and two short pink legs. Its head represented that of a dome, with two big orange eyes, and a little green orb on the back of its head. Team JNPR was still a bit stunned that they were fighting batteries.

"Does anyone else have a bad feeling about that battery?" Jaune asked.

"You're not the only one Jaune." Ren said.

"It's a shame, because they look so cute!" Nora said, sounding a bit disappointed. Mia just looked at her.

"Wow. I never thought I would see a female version of Zack. But I here I am." Mia said.

"And we never thought we would see a male version of Nora." Pyrrha said, trying to lighten the mood.

"I activate Fuel Cell's effect! By sacrificing one Battery monster, one card you control is sent back to your hand. I release Batteryman D, and now say adios to your Plasma Vice!" Mince yelled.

Batteryman D then turned into a bright light and was absorbed into Fuel Cell. Fuel Cell's hands then charged with electricity, and he fired it towards Plasma Vice. Plasma Vice then turned into a bright light of energy, and returned to the extra deck.

"Adios Plasma Vice. Adios." Zack said sadly.

"You didn't really had to say it you know." Mince said.

"I felt like it." Zack said, shrugging.

"Whatever you say. Batteryman 9-Volt! Attack Bubbleman with Voltage Orb!" Mince yelled.

9-Volt then lifted his hands in the air, and fire the ball of energy towards, Bubbleman who exploded. Zack slid back due to the damage.

Zackery Aegis: 1400LP – 1200LP = 200LP

"Water does conduct electricity after all. Fuel Cell finish the job!" Mince yelled.

Batteryman Fuel Cell fired an electrical laser towards Zack to end the duel. Team JNPR, and Mia just stared as the beam got closer.

"I play a trap card! Defense Draw! Now all battle I take is reduce to zero, and I get to draw a card!" Zack said, as he drew his card. Team JNPR and Mia took a deep breath.

Defense Draw
[Trap: Normal]

"Heh. Lucky. I play one card facedown and end my turn. Since I used 9-Volt's effect this turn, it's automatically destroyed at the end phase." Mince said. 9-Volt then powered down, and was destroyed.

Turn 9: Zackery Aegis
Zackery Aegis: 200LP vs Mince: 2100LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 2+1 vs Mince: 1

"That was way to close. However, it's comeback time! I draw! I activate Fusion Substitute's ability from the graveyard! By banishing it, I can return one Fusion type monster by to the extra deck, and draw one card! I return Darkbright to the extra deck and draw!" Zack said.

Fusion Substitute
[Spell: Normal]

"Interesting. The reason why he discarded it earlier, was to use its grave effect. So he was able to destroy Mince's dragon, without the fear of tossing out his entire hand. Having cards in hand is the most important aspects of a duel." Siren thought.

"Time to fight fire with fire! But in this case, fight thunder with thunder! I summon Elemental HERO Voltic in attack mode!" Zack yelled.

Elemental HERO Voltic
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Light]
Thunder/Effect
ATK: 1000 DEF: 1500

Dark Clouds then began to gather over the battlefield, as a flash lighting struck the ground. From the light, was a hero hovering in the air, while static electricity was seen on his body. He was wearing a dark purple suit with yellow lines, with silver armor pieces on his chest, and around his arms. He also had an orange gem on each his shoulders, and an orange gem on his knees as well. His belt showed a lightning bolt in the center, and had a spike on each side of the waist. There were also two sharp bolts on the back of his shoulders. His helmet had a silver mouth piece, and was purple every else. The eye slits were darken, and there were two fin pieces on each side of the helmet, with a triangle on the forehead. There was also a lightning bolt on his head. He may not be as powerful, but we was rocking the look. Team JNPR was amazed with how this hero looked, but no else was just as impressed as Nora. Mia takes notice of this.

"Nora. It just occurred to me you're a lot more excited about the electrical based heroes. Why's that?" Mia asked.

"Oh didn't Jaune and Pyrrha tell you? My semblance allows me to absorb electricity! It lets me jump explosively into the air, power my muscles, or send any poor creature flying into the air with my hammer." Nora said cheerfully. Mia was a bit frighten.

"You just became the most scariest person in world that I know." Mia said.

"Thanks for the complement!" Nora said, giving a thumbs up.

"Note to self. Never make this woman mad. I'll somehow regret it for the rest of my life. She makes Zack look like a calm person." Mia thought, as she began sweating. Mince didn't showed much concern for the monster.

"While I will admit your monster has the good looks, it doesn't have good attack power to defeat my Fuel Cell." Mince said.

"His target isn't Fuel Cell. It's you!" Zack said, pointing his hand at Mince.

"What!?" Mince yelled.

"I play a facedown! Half Straight! Until my next Standby Phase, I halve the attack power of Elemental HERO Voltic. If Voltic's strength current strength is lower than the attack power of your strongest monster, then he can attack you directly. 500 attack points is obviously lower than 2100 attack points! Let him have it Voltic! Lightning Sonic!" Zack yelled.

Half Straight
[Trap: Normal]

Elemental HERO Voltic: 1000ATK – 500ATK = 500ATK

Half Straight showed a Red Ogre shrinking down to a miniaturized size, passing by two other monsters. Voltic then crouched down, and began running at mach speed. He then jumped into the air, and went over Fuel Cell. His right foot was enveloped in electrical energy, as he delivered a thunder kick towards Mince. Being such low damage, Mince didn't really mind it.

Mince: 2100LP – 500LP = 1600LP

"So he's willing to cut the strength of his own monster just sneak in some damage? He must be desperate." Siren thought.

"I activate Voltic's ability! After inflicting battle damage, I can summon a banished Elemental HERO! And thanks to Miracle Fusion, I have just the perfect card. Return to the field! Elemental HERO Bladedge!" Zack said.

Voltic then pointed his right index finger into the air, and fired a small stream of electricity towards Zack's field. The electricity then formed a line in the air. Suddenly, two golden hands appeared between the line and was torn wide open. It was none other than Bladedge who tearing a hole in the fabric of the universe. Team JNPR, Mince and Siren's eyes went wide, as they did not suspected Bladedge to return like that. Once the hole was big enough, Bladedge flew out of the hole, performing a dive bomb towards Fuel Cell. The hole then patched itself up, and disappeared.

"So it wasn't a desperate move. He did so he can bring back a stronger monster. He planned this out from the beginning." Siren thought, realizing Zack's strategy. Or brute tactic in Zack's book.

"A monster summoned during the battle phase can attack! Bladedge, attack with slice and dice attack!" Zack yelled. Bladedge then extended his arms forward for the finishing blow.

"I activate my trap card! Portable Battery Pack! This card lets me summon two Batteryman monsters from my graveyard in attack mode! I summon two Batteryman Ds, The one I sacrifice, and the one I discarded with Graceful Charity!" Mince yelled.

Portable Battery Pack
[Trap: Continuous]

Portable Battery Pack, showed a Batteryman Charger in a black battery pack, powering up a console. Two Batteryman Ds then emerged from the graveyard. However, they did something unexpected. One D turned upside down, and they both moved to opposite ends of Mince's field. Suddenly, an electrical grid was formed between the battery monsters, as Bladedge's attack was repelled.

"Hey! What's the big idea!?" Zack asked.

"The big idea are my Batteryman Ds' effect. If Batteryman D is on my field, you can't attack any other thunder type monster that I control. However, if I control another Batteryman D, you can't attack the other Batteryman D, and vice versa. In other words, your monsters can't attack any of my monsters!" Mince yelled.

"THAT'S…NOT…FAIR!" Nora yelled, in rage.

"It's actually legal Nora. I saw it once before. I used this play one time before, with two Marauding Captains on my field. I was untouchable since my opponent didn't get a card that destroy other cards with effects." Mia said. Team JNPR shot looks at her "What?"

"You are a cruel little girl." Ren said.

Mia only roll her eyes. Other people used this technique. What's so different for a twelve year old girl to use it?

"I play one card facedown and end my turn." Zack said.

Turn 10: Mince
Zackery Aegis: 200LP vs Mince: 1600LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 2 vs Mince Hand: 1+1

"My turn now. I draw! I play Pot of Greed! Now I draw two more cards! Hey, what do you know? I did actually explained the effect. I'm not question it and I'm just going to roll with it." Mince said. Siren began questioned it.

"Why did he announce what Pot of Greed does? I know what it does! That kid knows what it does! The Huntsmen know what it does! You know what it does! You? Who am I referring this to? It's not like a whole bunch of people are watching this. Right?" Siren asked herself.

"I now summon another Batteryman 9-Volt in attack mode, and like before, I can add another Batteryman to my hand, and double 9-Volt's attack power. I'll add Batteryman Industrial Power to my hand, and 9-Volt's attack power will double! Next I remove two Batteryman AAs from the graveyard, to special summon Batteryman Industrial Power from my hand!" Mince yelled.

Batteryman Industrial Power
[LV: 8] [Attribute: Light]
Thunder/Effect
ATK: 2600 DEF: 0

Two Batteryman AA then came out of the graveyard, and then turned into pure electricity. They then emerged together, as a monster than began to take shape. From the sphere of electricity emerged a monster with the body of a car battery that was on a wheel. It had two mechanical hands, and a short cylinder head, with white eyes, and red markings on its face. On its back were two connectors for a blue and red electrical clamps that it wielded as weapons. It then snapped the clamps, causing electricity to fly from them.

"I never thought I would get intimidated by a battery. Put here I am." Jaune said.

"Duel monsters sure is a whole another world." Pyrrha said, fearing the gigantic monster.

"Is it bad that I think he looks awesome?" Nora asked.

"Normal I would say that is completely normal, but considering what will happen when Zack loses, then no, it's okay." Mia said.

Ren just stepped back. This Mince was preparing to destroy Zack, and he won't hesitate to hold back.

"I activate Industrial Strength's effect. By banishing one Thunder type monster from my graveyard, I can destroy one monster, and one spell or trap card that is on your field. I choose to destroy your Bladedge and your facedown card! Circuit Breaker!" Mince yelled.

Industrial Strength then used its wheel to speed towards Zack's field. Team JNPR knew if Zack's facedown was destroyed, he would stand no chance of winning. Mia however smile, while Zack had a face of annoyance on his face.

"I…activate Threating Roar, and chain it to your monster's effect. Thanks to this card…you can't declare an attack this turn." Zack said, sounding less enthusiastic.

Threating Roar
[Trap: Normal]

Threating roar showed a Manticore letting out a fearsome roar, scarring a behemoth monster, who was scarred out of its wits. The card then let out a fearsome roar, causing Mince, and team JNPR to cover their ears. The Batterymen then started to look scared as they began to back away. While this was a good thing, Zack didn't looked so happy. Mia on the other hand had a smug look on her face.

"Go on. I'm waiting." Mia said. Zack then let out a huge sigh.

"Fine. Putting in Threating Roar…was a better choice…than putting in Hero Barrier…into the deck." Zack said, in an annoyed tone.

"And?" Mia asked.

"And….the artwork of a card…no matter how cool it is…doesn't help you win a duel." Zack said, struggling to get the words out.

"I'm just glad you're see things my way now." Mia said, smugly.

"You can be really mean sometimes." Zack grumbled.

"And you can be so stubborn sometimes. If that were Hero Barrier instead, you would have lost. Negating one attack if you control HERO monster, vs a card that prevents your opponent from attacking at all, which can be used at any time. It's obvious which one wins." Mia said.

"You're just lucky that I don't stay mad at you for a long time, because I'm your older brother. But…thanks anyway for the change." Zack said, crossing his arms. He really wanted to put in HERO Barrier instead. But on the other hand, Mia snatched his deck, and refused to give it back unless he agreed to put in Threating Roar instead.

"You're welcome. Now keep on dueling, and win!" Mia said, sounding more supportive now. Zack smiled just a bit. But he was a little salty on the inside.

Team JNPR was a bit stunned that the younger sister bested the big brother, as it was usually the other way around.

"I knew she was mature. But that was downright savage." Jaune said.

"I like her style." Nora said, smiling wickedly.

"I'm not sure if she would be a good or bad influence on Nora." Ren said.

"Let's just not think about it too much." Pyrrha said.

"Uh…it's my turn! And if you forgotten, my Industrial still destroys your Bladedge!" Mince yelled.

Upon hearing that statement, Zack snapped out of his frustration and focuses back on the duel. He then saw Bladedge getting clamped down, as Industrial Strength sent a current of electricity through his body as he then shattered.

"I can't attack this turn, but I will use Fuel Cell's ability! I sacrifice 9-Volt to return Voltic to your hand!" Mince yelled.

9-volt then turned into pure energy, and was absorbed into Fuel Cell. Fuel Cell, then shot a beam of electricity towards Voltic, and forced him back to Zack's hand.

"I play one card facedown and end my turn! I'll just finish you off next turn. Face it kid. I built a wall that you can't climb over! You'll fall down if you try to climb it." Mince yelled.

"Yeah. That's sounds accurate enough." Zack said.

"Are accepting defeat?" Mince asked.

"Not a chance. You said you built a wall I can't climb over. Well if that's the case, then I'll just have to break through it then! This is my last turn, but it's also the last turn of the game! I'm winning here and that's all you need to know!" Zack said, as he sounded more aggressive.

Team JNPR saw that Zack hadn't given in. He was going on, hanging on by a measly 200 life points. He may be a bit crazy, but his spirit was where it should be. They respected it.

"Zack's got spirit. That we all can agree on." Jaune said.

"Question is whether his spirit will respond." Pyrrha said, showing concern.

"BREAK HIS LEGS!" Nora shouted.

Ren just smiled.

Turn 11: Zackery Aegis
Zackery Aegis: 200LP vs Mince: 1600LP
Zackery Aegis Hand: 3+1 vs Mince Hand: 1

"It's my move now. I DRAW!" Zack yelled, as a gust of wind blew in the area.

"Well. What do you know? Looks like this match is over. Ren, Nora! Ready to take action?" Zack asked. Ren then looked up.

"I was once told that the worst course of action, is taking no action at all. My skills will aid you in combat." Ren said.

"Let me loose, and I'll give him the hammer." Nora said.

(Play Duel Target Lock on! Or Play Jaden/Judai's theme)

"That's what I like to hear. Time to tear down this so call wall of yours. I'm summoning JNPR-Soul: Lie Ren from my hand in attack mode!" Zack yelled.

JNPR-Soul: Lie Ren
[LV: 3] [Attribute: Water]
Warrior/Effect
ATK: 1200 DEF: 1800

Ren then jumped into the battlefield, wielding Stormflower in both of his hands. He then looked at the battery monsters that seek to destroy him.

"Well. This is nothing new." Ren said, in a calm tone.

"I now play the Shallow Grave! This card lets us both select a monster in our grave, and summon it to the field, but they have to be in facedown defense mode. I play Elemental HERO Bubbleman!" Zack yelled.

"Then I shall play Voltech Dragon!" Mince declared.

Shallow Grave
[Spell: Normal]

The Shallow Grave showed a skeleton warrior rising from the graveyard. A vertical facedown card appeared on both Zack's and Mince's field.

"I now activate Polymerization, and fuse Ren with water attribute Bubbleman!" Zack yelled.

"Wait. Did you just say fuse?" Ren asked.

To clarify his answer, Bubbleman was flipped, and appeared on the field. He then gave Ren a huge smile showing his teeth, and giving him a thumbs up, and there was a shiny glint on it. Bubbleman and Ren then ascended into the air, as they began to fuse in the swirl of light.

"Hero of…bubbles, I guess? (That sounds really weird now that I think about it. No wonder I don't do summoning chants when I use Bubbleman). Lend your aquatic strength to Hunter of Fantastic Technique! Come on out! Lotus Hunter Hero: Lie Ren!" Zack yelled.

Lotus Hunter HERO – Lie Ren
[LV: 6] [Attribute: Water]
Warrior/Fusion/Effect
ATK: 2100 DEF: 1400

Ren then appeared from the light, and landed on the ground. He then summoned his weapons from his sleeves, and dual wielded them.

"Looking quite sleek Ren." Zack said.

"Why thank you. Now then, shall I attack?" Ren asked.

"Not just yet. I'm activating your soul form's effect! Went sent from the field from to the graveyard for a fusion summon of his fusion counterpart, I can add special summon one JNPR-Soul from my graveyard!" Zack yelled.

"You mean, that Graceful Charity spell card…" Mince said.

"Oh, you caught on. Thanks for noticing. You saved me a huge explanation. From the grave, rise! JNPR-Soul: Nora Valkyrie!" Zack yelled.

"Uh, Zack. Not to ruin your flow, but I've been standing here to whole time. How come I didn't go to the grave?" Nora asked. Mia then came up with an answer.

"I guess you're aren't spiritually connected to your card at the moment. Well, that's just my theory at least." Mia said.

"Well, I might as well I came back from the grave." Nora said.

Nora then jumped into a portal leading to the graveyard. After a while, the same black portal then appeared on the field. A hand then slowly came out. It was gray, and some flesh was torn. The head of Nora slowly emerged, but she looked like a zombie.

JNPR-Soul: Nora Valkyrie
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Light]
Warrior/Effect
ATK: 1800 DEF: 0

"PPpaaaaannn cccaaakkkkeeess." Nora moaned, in the voice of a zombie. Ren, now standing tall, picked Nora up by the collar.

"Nora. You didn't had to take it that literal. Besides, I told you to throw away that zombie costume weeks ago. I still can't believe, you covered it in garbage just to get the smell." Ren said, pinching his nose.

"Just for the record, it called dedication. And I'm dedicated to putting in realism in this Zombie costume. I even got this fake eye ball!" Nora said, pulling it out.

"Zack. Please hurry up and win. I don't know how much more my nose can take." Ren said.

"No prob Ren. I activate the effect of Elemental HERO Flash that I discarded to the grave. By banishing three Elemental HEROES and Flash, I can add one normal type spell to my hand! I banish Lady Heat, Bladedge, Necroshade, and Flash! This allows me to add polymerization to my hand!" Zack yelled.

Elemental HERO Flash
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Light]
Warrior/Effect
ATK: 1100 DEF: 1600

A black portal then appeared on the field, as a blur of blue light exited it. Following along was Lady Heat, Necroshade, and Bladedge. The blur then came to a stop. This hero wore a blue spandex suit, with yellow lines. He wore silver armor that extended towards his shoulders. He wore a white cape, and a triangular helmet, with a white visor and a lightning bolt, with his mouth exposed. The other three heroes then united their hands to together. Flash then began to run around them, creating a vortex around the three Heroes. Tapping into the Speed Force, he access the inner energy of the heroes, and transformed them into energy. The vortex then dissipated as a card glowing was in their place. The card then flew to Zack and it was revealed to be Polymerization.

"Now then, for Nora's fusion. She's a bit different from the rest of her teammates. Instead of attribute, it's type. Thunder to be exact. Luckily for me, I happen to have Voltic in my hand, and last I checked he's labeled as Thunder." Zack said, flipping Voltic's card.

"Just get on with it already Zacky! I want to get in on the action!" Nora said, as her tone was menacing.

"I know just how you feel! I play Polymerization! Fuse thunder type Elemental HERO Voltic with, JNPR-Soul: Nora Valkyrie!" Zack yelled.

Voltic then reappeared on the field. Ascended in the sky with Nora.

"Hey Volty. Question." Nora said.

"Shoot." Voltic said.

"How much energy you got?" Nora asked.

"Enough to fry a couple of batteries. Or a gigantic one in this case. What say we show these chumps what real Electricity feels like!?" Voltic asked, as his voice sounded aggressive.

"Now you're speaking my language!" Nora yelled. Nora and Votlic did bro handshake, and began to fuse together.

"Hero of Electrical might. Charge the Huntress of grand strength and make way for the harbinger of destruction! Descend from a storm! Mighty Hunter HERO – Nora Valkyrie!" Zack yelled.

Mighty Hunter HERO – Nora Valkyrie
[LV: 8] [Attribute: Light]
Warrior/Fusion/Effect
ATK: 2900 DEF: 2100

A flash of lightning the appeared on the field, and Nora materialized from the light in her Fusion form. She was currently kneeling down and wielding Magnhild. Her eyes then shot opened, and she stood up and twirl her hammer like a baton and stared at Industrial Strength. Mia and Zack were impressed.

"Nora looks, so strong." Mia said.

"You haven't seen anything yet Mia." Jaune said.

"Nora and Ren. A great combination." Pyrrha said.

While Ren and Nora got into position, Mince stood his ground.

"Despite your monster's strength, you won't be able to break past my defense!" Mince yelled.

"Are you so sure about that?" Zack asked sarcastically.

"Huh?"

"I activate JNPR-Soul: Nora Valkyrie's effect! When she's sent from field to the graveyard for a fusion summon for her fusion counterpart, I can flip one face-up monsters you control into facedown defense position! I'm flipping one of your Batteryman Ds to defense mode!" Zack yelled.

On response, Nora raised her hammer and slammed it down into the ground. This caused an orange cracks to extend towards one of the Batteryman, causing it to be stunned and flip facedown.

"I now activate Ren's ability! By banishing a monster HERO monster from my graveyard, I can target one monster with the same attribute as the banish monster, and return it to the bottom of the deck! I remove Elemental HERO Voltic from the grave, to return your second Batteryman D to the deck! He can't attack on the turn I used this ability, but it's a great tradeoff in my opinion. Blossom Burst!" Zack yelled.

"Blossom Burst?" Ren questioned

"Just….just shoot the darn battery." Zack said.

"Then why didn't you say so in the first place?" Ren asked.

An astral image of Voltic appeared over Ren. Stormflower's barrel then began to charge with electrical energy. Ren then fired a barrage of electrical based Bullets at the face up Batteryman D. The Batteryman then turned into yellow energy and returned to the deck.

"I told you I would break through your wall. All that's left is to power down your oversized power plant. Nora. Give them hammer." Zack said, while smiling aggressively.

"Got it." Nora said, with the same aggression.

Nora then jumped into the air, and then attacked Industrial Strength. Industrial Strength prepared his clamps.

"I won't let you win! I play the quick-play spell shrink! Your monster's attack strength, as well as its size is cut in half!" Mince yelled.

Shrink
[Spell: Quick-Play]

The Shrink card then revealed itself and fired a beam towards Nora. However, Nora brought down her hammer, splitting the beam in half.

"What! It's having no effect!" Mince yelled.

"Well that the thing Mince! Nora's ability is that she is unaffected by all opponent spell and trap effects!" Zack yelled.

"…..Ok. That's just overpowered, along with 2900 attack points to boot. But somehow, it feels right at the same time. I guess the thunder attribute will be hard to incorportate into the deck of HEROES." Mia said, questioning, the effect.

"Even if you destroy Industrial Strength! I have a Monster Reborn in my hand! I can bring him back next turn, and use his ability to destroy Nora!" Mince yelled.

"I told you! This is the final turn! Nora has another ability! Whenever battling a Thunder type monster, Nora gains that monster's attack points! Electric Charge!" Zack yelled.

Industrial Strength clamped Nora's Magnhild, and sent a course of electricity through it. Magnhild conducted the electricity sending through Nora's body. However, Nora began absorbing it, and she felt her body charging up. She then looked up and smirked, she then ripped off the clamp, and began swinging her hammer around like a pro.

Mighty Hunter HERO – Nora Valkyrie: 2900ATK + 2600ATK = 5500ATK

"HAMMER…..DOWN!" Zack yelled, and for some reason in a German accent.

Nora then swung her hammer downwards, right onto Industrial Strength's head, completely crushing him. The monster then exploded, causing Mince to fly back and scream in pain.

Mince: 1600LP – 2900LP = 0LP

Duel Over
Winner: Zackery Aegis

"Alright! Game Clear!" Zack yelled, throwing his fist in the air. Suddenly Nora appeared behind him.

"Great job buddy! You really know how to give a girl some fun!" Nora said, slapping Zack on the back. However, she did while still charged with power that she accidently pushed Zack to the ground real hard, face first.

"Oooowwwwww. I don't know why. But for some reason…nothing's broken." Zack said in pain.

"Whoops. Sorry. Sometimes, my strength goes to through the roof." Nora said, picking Zack up.

Meanwhile, Mia walked over to Mince along with Ren. Mince was barely moving, his body was slowly fading. Stronger Grimm take time to dissipate.

"Alright Mince. Considering you're still alive, you mind giving us some answers?" Mia asked.

Mince let out a chuckle. Seeing he won't live for long, might as well go out with style. He then takes out his Aura-Detector glasses.

"Sorry girl. I'm not giver. I'm a taker, and I'll take my life. Forgive me Liege." Mince said, smiling. Ren takes notice.

"GET DOWN!" Ren yelled, grabbing Mia and running away.

Smiling to the end, Mince pressed a red button on the glasses causing them to blow up, disintegrating what was left of his body. Siren watched, not in horror, but rather in fear.

"That kid…won. Mince wasn't completely defeated. He was able to hold his ground, countering his moves. It was a like a real battle. Like new found strength, that kid, no, Zack manage to turn things around. If things keep going on like this…the Grimm will end. Dueling is our weapon. Thus, I must master it and become strong." Siren thought. She then left, with the desire to become strong, and become a powerful duelist.

Ren and Mia manage to get away in time. They only had a little dirt on them.

"Going out with a bang. I don't know what to think of it." Mia said.

"It's best not to think about it. Come on. Our friends are waiting." Ren said.

Ren then walked away, leaving Mia. Mia took some time to get up, because right now she was thinking. From the way RWBY described Grimm, they were define as savage monsters. She only seen two so far, but the first, Scar, acted like a proud warrior who fought to the end. Mince seem to be acting like it was normal. He even made small talk with Zack. To him, it was just a job.

"Not really that much of a savage. They're more like an organization of humans, who have access to dark magic. Either way, the intentions to destroy are the same, but actions are what defines whether a person is a human, or a monster. I need to see more to clarify it." Mia thought, as she walked back to team JNPR and Zack. Nora and Ren had just turned back to their Soul forms.

"Hey Sis! You want to join in?" Zack asked.

"Do I even have a choice?" Mia asked sarcastically.

"That's my sister. Quick thinker and quick talker. My flower, and a nightmare at the same time." Zack said jokingly.

"Ha ha. Real funny. Anyways, so what do the four of you think about Duel Monsters so far?" Mia asked.

"Well it's…" Jaune was about to begin, until he was pushed out of the way by Nora.

"IT'S AMAZING! I got to fight gigantic battery monsters! You summoned cool Heroes! You acted like a huntsman! You did all of the above awesome! What do you think Ren?" Nora yelled.

"A world where we become cards, and fight Grimm who use cards for combat is a strange concept, but yet at the same time kind of refreshing." Ren said, in a calm tone.

"Before we continue to talk about the game, can we ask you guys how team RWBY is doing?" Pyrrha asked.

"There in good care. My friend Anna won't hurt them. She really sweet, and totally reliable." Zack said.

"Out of curiosity, are two together, together?" Nora asked slyly.

"Nora, I don't think we should be asking questions like that." Jaune said.

"Well Anna is nice to hang out with. We talk a lot, eat together, duel each other. She beats me, I beat her sometimes. I suppose you could say that." Zack said, calmly.

"Are...are you serious!?" Pyrrha asked a bit flustered.

"Yeah. Of course I am. I mean, I've been hanging out with ever since the 5th grade. I watch her back, and she watched mine. She great friend I could ask for. Just best friends." Zack said in a calm tone.

"Best Friend? Is that what you think of Anna?" Pyrrha asked.

"What else would I think of her? She just nice a person to hang out with. It's simple as that. Like Ren and Nora. You guys are just best friends, right?" Zack asked.

"Of course we are! I mean I wouldn't try and go ruin our long lasting friendship, over some crazy love life! I mean, that's just crazy!" Nora said frantically.

"Eh. Works for me. I'm going to call Anna, and tell her the good news." Zack said, taking out his D-Pad. Mia then came over to team JNPR and decided to give them some advice.

"Guys. Note of advice. Zack doesn't really understand all of this complicated stuff. He limited to the friend zone, and he's going to be there for a while. I estimating that he won't be moving out of that zone until he graduates from college." Mia said.

"I think I know what you're talking about Mia. I happen to be familiar with that trait." Pyrrha said, giving quick glances to Jaune, who doesn't.

"Huh? You said something Pyrrha?" Jaune asked.

"Nothing really." Pyrrha said, sounding a bit down, but not enough for Jaune to notice. Zack then came back.

"Ok. I called Anna a couple of times, but she's not answering. Is she on another planet of dinosaurs? Heh. That would be weird. Anyway, want to head home with us? I'm sure our mom wouldn't….uh oh." Zack said, as he gave a couple glance at Mia.

"MOM!"

"You think she'll be mad Zack?" Mia asked.

"I'll check." Zack said, as he pulled out his phone and dial a number.

"WHERE IN THE RA FORESAKEN GOSH DARN MONARCH TIME WIZARD LEVEL EATING, YANG ZING MALDOCHE ARE YOU TWO!?" Miko yelled from the phone. Zack immediately hangs up.

"I think we have our answer." Zack said, slowly lowering his hand.

"WHY IN THE WORLD DID YOU HANG UP!? YOU COULD HAVE MADE A GOOD EXPLANATION TO HER WHY WE'RE LATE! AGAIN!" Mia yelled.

"I'M SORRY, OK! I MEANS ITS MOM! YOU KNOW WHAT SHE IS LIKE WHEN SHE'S ANGRY! HER ANGER IS STRONG ENOUGH TO RIVAL THE HULK!" Zack yelled.

"That is somewhat of an exaggeration, but it's almost make logical sense. So I'll give you a pass on this one. Here. I'll call her, and tell her that I'm in the bathroom." Mia said.

"You sure you can handle it?" Zack asked.

"Zack. I lived with her for twelve years. If anyone should know how to deal with this, it should be you! You lived with her for fifteen years!" Mia yelled.

"A three year gap doesn't make a difference!" Zack said, as he was getting more scared.

"Just let me do this. I can handle it. It's woman willpower." Mia said.

While the two siblings kept on arguing on how they should deal with the angry mom, team JNPR chuckled to see the siblings just being a family. Just a normal brother and a normal sister having an awkward conversation.

"For now on, as my decision as leader, I say we do our best to protect this world, and all the people that live here." Jaune said with vigor.

"I'll follow you till the end of our days Jaune. You have my full support." Pyrrha said.

"I couldn't agree more." Ren said.

"LOOK OUT DUEL MONSTERS! TEAM JNPR IS GOING TO GIVE YOU THE FULL JNPR TEAM SMACKDOWN EXPERIENCE!" Nora yelled.

(Spirit World)

Back at the Shelter, Ethan was currently trying to teach team RWBY how to access to full synchro forms without Anna's help. He didn't really like it though, but it was the fastest way to get back to his life, so he went along with it.

"Focus all of your energy in through your entire body. Synchro summoning is where synchro materials have their minds sync with each other, in other words harmony within. Use must balance your energy through your body. Aura in your world is consider your soul, based on what you told me. Try to focus that aura through your body, extended outward. Once you've done that, picture a mental image of your synchro form, and command your aura to take that form. The four of you have strong aura, so you should be to do it. However, don't get discourage if you fail to do so. No one can get it right the first time. It's like they say practice…" Ethan said.

Suddenly, a flash of light was seen where team RWBY stood. When the light died down, team RWBY stood where they standing, only now they were now in their synchro forms, or their true forms.

"…is no longer needed. Impressive." Ethan finished, hiding the fact he was really amazed.

"Finally. At long last! I'm free from that ridiculous miniaturized form!" Weiss yelled with joy.

"I get Weiss why Weiss happy, and I'm happy when she's happy. But, it's starting creep me out a bit." Ruby said.

"Don't Rubes. I got this. Hey Ice Queen! How does it feel to stand tall again?" Yang yelled.

"Don't call me Ice Queen! And it feels very pleasant as well, and thank you for asking." Weiss said.

"Ah. That's more like it." Yang said. Blake on the other hand went up to Ethan.

"Thank you Mr. Hono. We appreciate you for taking the time to help us. I must say, it's been a while to see my body like this again, and not out on the battlefield. Just being like this for relaxation." Blake said, examining her hand, and then shaking Ethan's hand as a form of courtesy.

"Indeed. You're prettier this way. Gives me time to take it in." Ethan said.

"Excuse me?" Blake said, blushing a bit.

"I'm just messing with you. You did waste a lot of my time. Consider it payback." Ethan said, with the same strict tone.

"Oh ok. I get it. Wait. Did you just made a joke?" Blake asked, taken back from the realization.

"Something wrong with it?" Ethan asked.

"Uh…no. Nothing at all. There's nothing wrong with it at all." Blake said.

Anna smiled that team RWBY was having a good time. She then walked up to Ruby, to see how she was doing.

"Hey Ruby. Are you feeling ok?" Anna asked.

"I feel more than ok Anna. I feel fantastic! I also wanted to do this for a long time!" Ruby exclaimed. She then gave Anna a huge hug.

"Ruby. What all this about?" Anna asked.

"I never got a chance to give you a real hug. I did with Yang, Blake, and surprisingly Weiss. I just want to give you a proper thank you for everything you've been doing for us." Ruby said. Anna smiled gently.

"You're welcome Ruby." Anna replied, embracing the hug.

"Oh yeah! Group hug! Come on Weiss! You're joining!" Yang yelled, wrapping her shoulder around Anna.

"You're not going to give me a choice, are you?" Weiss asked.

"Nope." Yang replied

"You won't mind me joining in, will you?" Blake asked.

"Why would we mind? Come here kitty cat!" Yang said teasing Blake.

"Please don't call me that." Blake said, sounding a bit annoyed.

"Hey Ethan! Take a picture for please!" Yang said.

"Fine. Only because you said please." Ethan said, taking Anna's D-Tablet, and putting it into camera mode. He then took a picture of team RWBY, with Yang and Blake on the left, Ruby and Weiss on the Right, and Anna in the middle between Blake and Ruby. Ethan made sure to take two pictures, to make sure he didn't had to do a retake later.

Just then, loud metal footsteps were heard in the hallway. Everyone then turned their heads to see a knight clad in Dark grey and light red armor, with waist armor made up of gun parts, with ignition wheels on the sides. He was also wearing a crown shaped helmet with a yellow visor and a black mouth piece. He also had two Riot-guns with blades, attached to his waist. This was Igknight Margrave.

"Ah Ethan. How're you doing? If you didn't tell me what went all, I would assume you started a harem." Margrave joked.

This cause the girls, except Ruby to blush.

"Yang, what's a harem?" Ruby asked.

"I'll tell you when you're older." Yang replied, as Ruby pouted.

"Not now Margrave. Can you just please fix my disk. The location selector is broken." Ethan said.

"No problem. I just need see your Dimension License." Margrave said.

"What's a Dimension License?" Weiss asked.

"Oh. That there Ms. Ice Cream, is what let's Ethan here operate dimensional tech legally. Dimensional transport is very easy now a days, but it's has high responsibility. One guy accidentally left a portal open for too long, and a ton of spirit monsters came flooding out of the portal. Luckily, it was in an abandon mineshaft. Ethan has a grade B license, meaning he can use teleport to different areas in the spirit world, go to your world, and use the transporter function in this disk." Margrave explained. Blake took note of this.

"Why did you call me Ice Cream?" Weiss asked, as her anger was building.

"Uh, isn't that your name? That's what Cavalier said." Margrave said.

"Why that sneaky pink armored *****." Weiss said. Yang proceeded to cover Ruby and Anna's ears.

"WEISS! Language! Ruby and Anna are in the room with us!" Yang shouted.

"Uh, why are you covering our ears Yang?" Ruby asked. Anna just rolled with it.

"Don't worry Ms. Schnee. I deal with her when I get back. She's honorable on the battlefield, but a complete handful in social life." Ethan said, sighing.

After a while, Margrave finished fixing Ethan's disk. Ethan then tested the device to see it was working.

"Back up and running again. Anna, can I have your address, I can send you home immediately." Ethan said.

"Alright. Give me a sec." Anna said. Ethan then typed in the coordinates, and a portal then appeared in the room.

"Wait. We're leaving now?" Weiss asked.

"Yes Weiss. We're leaving. I'm not living in the Spirit World. I just want to go home, and sleep on a comfy bed, where Dinosaurs are extinct.

"But, we could look around a bit. I mean, dark dust crystal! That Assassin had it on him! We should demand it from him!" Weiss said desperately.

"No need for that. I picked it up after the battle. Here, take it. It's best in hands that know what they're dealing with." Ethan said, handing Anna a plastic bag, with the malevolent looking dust crystal.

"That settles that. We're going home now." Anna said.

"Well, maybe stuff we could see, that might be helpful." Weiss said.

"Weiss. Everyone knows that you just want to stay, because you don't want get turned into a tuner again." Anna said, with a stern expression on her face.

"…..Ok! Fine! I just got out of that horrendous form, and I refuse to change back!" Weiss yelled.

Anna just sighed. "Girls. While I go check on the portal, can you convince Weiss to change her mind? And when I mean convince her to change her mind, I mean force her back to my house."

"I'm on it Anna. Come on Weiss. You have to face the truth at one point." Yang said.

"First of all; that made no sense. Second of all; you can't make me." Weiss said.

"Want to bet on it?" Yang said, extending her Ember Celica.

"I refuse to revert to that ridiculous miniature form." Weiss said.

"Wow. I never seen Weiss act this desperate." Ruby said.

"It's actually makes sense. I don't have as much pride as Weiss, but it's kind of weird living in a miniature body. Between you and me Ruby, I sometimes worried if it will become a permanent condition." Blake said.

"Yeah. That would be kind of bad. Also, I think its best that we should stop Weiss and Yang from beating each other up." Ruby said, as the tension between Weiss and Blake was escalating.

"Yeah. That is what good friends do. Even if it means being shrunken again." Blake responded.

Yang and Weiss then began duking it out, as Anna entered the portal to her house, with Ethan escorting her to make sure, she got where she was. When the exited the other side, what greeted their eyes was a sight that was a kitchen covered in green and yellow slime spots. In the middle of the mess was Victoria, in an apron covered in green slime, and was holding a pot with, something in it.

"Anna. You mind telling me why you came home via portal? Does it have to do with team RWBY?" Victoria asked.

"Funny thing, it actually has to do with my friend Ethan. Turns out, he lives in the spirit world." Anna said.

"Greetings." Ethan said.

"H-hello." Victoria replied.

"Now do you mind telling me why the kitchen looked like it got hit by a slime bomb?" Anna asked.

"I was trying out a new recipe which involved spinach, guacamole, salsa, octopus, squid, and squid ink. I didn't turn out well as I hoped." Victoria said.

"I can see that. Ethan, does the shelter have a cafeteria?" Anna asked.

"You can stay long enough for dinner. After that, you leave. I need to leave. Not only is this a waste of time, but a horrible nose experience." Ethan said, going back into the portal.

"I really don't like his attitude. Sometimes I just want to tell how much of a jerk he is!" Anna grumbled.

"I heard that! By the way, you should be glad this attitude is letting you eat here! Now hurry up and get your dinner!" Ethan yelled.

Anna only puffed her cheeks, and just stormed through the portal. Victoria chuckled a bit.

"My, my. I never seen anyone get Anna this worked up. So that's Ethan Hono. What an interesting man. Not to mention handsome as well. I also sense a great deal of spiritual energy radiating off of him. I better dispose of this quickly. Who knows what will happen if it's left unchecked. I hope they have an oven in the spirit world." Victoria thought following Anna and Ethan.

Upon exiting the portal Anna saw that Yang was carrying Weiss over her shoulder, with Ruby and Blake trying to calm her down. Anna just sighed and walked past them.

"Change of plans. We're staying for dinner." Anna said, as she stormed towards the cafeteria. After hearing that statement, Weiss smiled deeply on the inside, as Yang dropped her on the floor.

"You're one lucky girl." Yang said.

"I wonder what made Anna changed her mind." Ruby said.

Victoria then exited the portal, as Margrave then went up to her.

"Hey there. What's in the pot?" Margrave asked, as he began to lift up the pot.

"Sir. I advise you to be careful. It's a bit revolting." Victoria said.

Margrave looked inside the pot, and upon seeing the contents, his eyeballs began to tear up. Suddenly, the odor assaulted his nose, causing him to pass out. Victoria then closed the pot, to prevent any further victims.

"Ms. Schnee. Would you care burning the contents within this pot with your fire based dust?" Victoria asked.

"I would of done it whether you asked me or not." Weiss said.

Bonus Scene

(Short Skit: Tacos)

In Elemental HERO HQ, Flash, Lady Heat and Necroshade just finished a mission and were relaxing in the lounge.

"So Lady, how was the first day on the job?" Necroshade asked, who was reading a book.

"I have to say. I did not expected that the villain would put a self-destruct button on the machine. It was pretty stupid." Lady Heat replied.

"Heh. Some people are just stupid, or complete morons. Hey Flash, what's wrong with you?" Necroshade asked. Flash had his head slumped on the table.

"I'm so hungry. I didn't eat lunch. The mission comes first." Flash said.

"Well, you can't save the day on an empty stomach." Lady Heat Replied.

Just then the door opened, and the one who entered was Bladedge wearing a butler outfit, and he was carrying a large serving tray. With a tall cover.

"Food!" Flash said in excitement. He then ran up to Bladedge with his speed. Bladedge's face couldn't be seen, but he had a stoic face.

"May I?" Flash asked.

"Help yourself." Bladedge replied in a deadpanned tone.

"Oh boy, here we go again." Necroshade said, sounding not to please.

"What's going on?" Lady Heat asked. She just recently joined.

Bladedge then lifted the cover revealing a stack of at least eighty tacos. Lady Heat jaw dropped seeing that many tacos. Flash smiles with delight. He then started snarfing down the tacos at a fast pace using his speed powers, eating with his mouth opened, and getting crumbs on the ground. Lady Heat's eyes were as all white and big as dinner plates, as her right eye twitched a bit. Necroshade just went back to reading his book, ignoring the tacos scraps that were landing on the couch. Bladedge just raised an eyebrow. After finishing all eighty tacos, Flash licked his fingers to savor the taste. He then let out a loud burp.

"Sorry Blade. My Metabolism." Flash said.

"I'll be back with seconds." Bladedge said, leaving.

"That was disgusting! Do you always eat like that!?" Lady Heat asked.

"Oh come on Lady. I was really hungry. A guy has to eat." Flash said.

"Yes. But the least you could do is avoid making a mess. I mean, look at Necroshade!" Lady Heat yelled. She then gestured her hand towards Necroshade who had taco scraps all over his head.

"Honestly. I don't think I'll ever get used to this. Plus, you need to eat slower. Your breath will stink." Necroshade said.

"Hey chill out Necro. It's not like you're going to die." Flash said.

Necroshade narrowed his eyes.

"Oh yeah. Sorry. I forgot that you died before." Flash said scratching his head. Necroshade's previous death is a sensitive topic for him.

Bladedge then returned and in an instant, Flash ran up to him, and began eating the tacos at a fast past, covering Necroshade in taco scraps.

"That's it. I'm leaving. If anyone needs me, I'll be with my cousin." Lady Heat said, getting up to find Heat. Flash takes notice.

"Was it something I said?" Flash asked, with his mouth still full.

End of Chapter 9

Well, after a month of waiting the 9th chapter of Yu-Gi-Oh: RWBY Chronicles is out. There are three reasons why it took so long. First: I was working on this during the school year, meaning I didn't had time. Second: I'm catching up on other activities that I didn't get to finish over the school year. Third: Writing chapters that last over 29000 words takes a while to finish. Besides that, when thinking of Ren's ability, I decided to change it to something more offensive. The ability to hide from your enemies is affected, but in the world of Duel Monsters, nothing is truly hidden. I hope you guys like the effect. For Nora, I was worried about making her overpowered. She just give me the unstoppable force vibe. I decided to give her an effect related to her semblance, but I also wanted to give Nora another affect. Something that represented her personality. If I made her overpowered, some part of me say that's just right, while another says it's bad. Aside from Nora and Ren, Ethan lives in the Spirit World. Pretty neat place. More of Ethan will be revealed in the later chapters. Team RWBY and team JNPR will return to the Spirit World. Next issue is the fact that I'm mixing Elemental HEROES with JNPR. Considering that I have to show JNPR and Elemental HEROES, in a majority of duels means more work for me, of considering which cards to use. But I'll manage. I guess many of you are wondering why I didn't do a special card of a day bonus. The answer to that is just I really wanted to get that skit out of my head. Also, I'll type the second card guide next. Just for heads up, the second chapter will be the first TURBO DUEL, or RIDING DUEL, ACCELERATION! Thanks for being patient with me, and I hope you will continue to enjoy this fic.

See you next Duel!

Notice: Apparently, I messed up Elemental HERO Flash's ability. I'm really getting sick of myself making these mistakes. I'm sorry for it and I'll fix it in the next chapter. I want to provide all of you well made duels, so I'll make sure I read the effect first, more carefully.
