Revenants

(Spirit Realm: Diana's Night Club)

The Revenants Malisha, Saika and Mindy were dragged along by Star Breaker Revenant: Ashley on a girls' night out. Out of all the places, she chose a night club. Right now, she was dancing on the dance floor in rhythm with the music. Everyone else was just watching from a nearby table, as they were not feeling the same. Since the spirit world is home to many types of monsters, girls with Dark Eyes fit right in, so no one raised a finger to it. They are currently wearing normal clothing with Ashley wearing a white and black striped tank top, and blue short-shorts. Malisha was wearing a standard black jacket, with a blue shirt within, as well as blue jeans. Saika was just wearing Pink T-Shirt and a Tan color shirt. Mindy was just wearing the uniform she is always wearing. Due to the loud noise, Saika and Ashley were yelling at each other so they can hear what they had to say.

"COME ON! DANCE TO THIS SICK, BEAT!" Ashley yelled at her friends.

"WHAT!? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!? SPEAK UP!" Saika yelled. The loud music has made her temporarily deaf.

"I SAID, COME OVER HERE AND DANCE!" Ashley yelled.

"YOU WANT ME TO JUMP OVER THE FENCE!?" Saika yelled.

Mindy was holding her animal ears and folding them down. Her animal ears are highly sensitive to noise. "Malisha. My ears hurt." Mindy said.

"Which ones, the human ears or the faunus ears?" Malisha asked.

"Both. But mostly my panther ears." Mindy said. She was really in distress.

"Hear. These special ear plugs should filter out the noise." Malisha said, giving Mindy the earplugs. Four of them to be exact.

"Thank you, Malisha. By the way, do I have to do what Ashley is doing to feel happier?" Mindy asked.

"Trust me girl, there are plenty of ways to feel happy." Malisha said.

Ashley was now taking center stage on the dance floor, as a huge crowd of people were cheering her on. "I'M REALLY FEELING IT!" she yelled.

"But for someone like you Mindy, this probably isn't the best way to make you feel happy. Just sit back, and watch Ashley be, well, Ashley." Malisha said.

"WHO'S READY TO GET WILD!?" Ashley yelled, as the people, or spirits in the night-club surrounding her cheered in agreement.

"Wow. She really is starting something up. What do you think, Saika?" Malisha asked.

"WHAT!? I'M AFRAID YOU'RE GOING HAVE TO SPEAK UP! THE MUSIC HAS MADE ME TEMPORARILY DEAF! IT'S HARD FOR ME TO HEAR YOU NOW!" Saika yelled.

"Never mind." Malisha said.

"WHAT!?" Saika yelled. Malisha only put her right index finger on Saika's lips, making a hush sound signaling her to just be quiet.

Malisha then began looking around out of boredom. Something then caught her attention. A man in a black suit, holding a suitcase, was walking around in the corner, and entered a door to the upper levels. Normally she would ignore it, but she sensed something off about the man. A power that was strong, and deadly. Having nothing else to do, she decided to satisfy her boredom by snooping around.

"I'll be back. I need to check on something." Malisha said.

Mindy and Saika only nodded as the two Revenants decided to go get drinks at the bar. Malisha then went to the door and went up-stairs. She followed the man up-stairs, while concealing her presence. Further into the building, he then entered a room, and made sure no-one else was following. He then entered the door, and a little lock was heard, locking the door. Malisha then ran up to door, and then created a magic circle and placed it on the door. This magic circle allowed her to eavesdrop on the conversation at hand. Inside the room, she heard multiple voices, mostly men. The room then went silent. A gruff voice was then heard from the room.

"Gentlemen. Tonight's the night that the Dark Soldiers make their mark. You all know your positions, so let's make this quick. These new Weapons that we got should get job done well. No spirit, man, or woman is going to stop us. So, who's ready for a bloodbath?" The voice said. The other men cheered in agreement.

"Good. Now, when the final events start, unleash hell on every soul you see." The voice said.

Malisha eyes widen at the last mention of the man's words. She may not have gotten all the details She then used a magic circle to teleport herself to the other Revenants.

(Downstairs)

"CAN I GET THE ORANGE JUICE PLEASE, AND THE GRAPE SODA FOR MINDY!?" Saika yelled.

"Ma'am. I understand you're having a hard time hearing, but can you please not yell?" The Bartender asked.

"YOU WANT ME TO GIVE YOU A BELL!?" Saika yelled.

The Bartender face-palmed, as he then took out a notebook, and wrote down what he said.

"OH! PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR MY LACK OF CONSIDERATION! I JUST CAN'T HEAR MYSELF DUE TO THE LOUD MUSIC THAT KEEPS EMERGING FROM THOSE SPEAKERS!" Saika yelled.

"You're not the first…that'll be $12.45 please." The bartender wrote with a deadpanned face.

"WE ARE THANKFUL FOR YOUR KINDNESS SIR!" Saika yelled.

The Bartender only sighed. "Why do I always get the ones that are nuts?" He thought silently as Saika wasn't the first strange customer to be at his bar.

"Um…Saika. I think you should stop talking until we leave." Mindy suggested.

"WOULD YOU PLEASE REPEAT THAT, MS. NARA!? I'M MOSTLY UNFAMILAR WITH THESE HIGH VOLUMED MUSIC FLOORS! I USUALLY PREFER THE QUIET AND SERNE ENVIRONMENTS!" Saika yelled.

Mindy then got the bartender's attention, as she need some help. "Can I…um…borrow your notebook, please?" Mindy asked.

"No sweat missy, I've got a ton of them. This isn't my first rodeo." The Bartender said, handing Mindy a notebook.

"Must be hard. Are you happy here?" Mindy asked.

"Pay's good, so I'm mostly neutral. Why did you asked?" the Bartender asked.

"No reason at all. But thank you again." Mindy said.

"No problem. Besides, it's refreshing to talk someone who isn't yelling or crazy all the time. Even if your eyes are black for some strange reason." The Bartender said.

Mindy only smiled and nodded, as the Bartender went to serve another customer. Mindy then wrote down what she said previously and showed it to Saika.

"MINDY! THAT IS AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION AND I'LL STOP TALKING RIGHT NOW! SILENCE IS GOLDEN AFTERALL!" Saika said.

Mindy only sighed, and took a sip from her drink. Suddenly, Malisha then popped into existence right next to them, causing Mindy to spit out her drink. Since it was the spirit world, a magical lady coming out of normal is quite normal in a way. She then yanked both Mindy and Saika out of their seats and underneath the table.

"Uh…girls. We have a situation. The man I followed lead me to some big conspiracy." Malisha said.

Saika only pointed to her ears.

"Malisha. If you're wondering why she isn't talking. I suggested that she shouldn't talk, until she can hear again. By the way, don't you have a spell to restore her hearing?" Mindy asked.

"I'm a witch equipped with combat spells and hexes. Not an Otolaryngologist." Malisha said.

"You mean an Ear Doctor?" Mindy asked.

"They're the same thing Min. Anyways, we're getting off track here. I think some people are going to commit genocide tonight." Malisha said. Mindy's eyes widen in horror, and Saika saw her reaction which was enough for her to understand the situation. "We need to find Ashley. Where is she?"

Ashley was among the crowd of people, who now doing an old dance known as the Shuffle. It was one of her favorite dances to do as well. Malisha eventually found her, and Shuffled danced her way to her. "Mally! I'm so glad you're here! It was getting a bit awkward dancing with a whole bunch of strangers" Ashley said joyfully.

"I'm only dancing so that I don't draw any attention. I need to know when the DJ will play his last song." Malisha said, as both she and Ashley stepped in rhythm to the song.

"You want to know that? Well okay. The DJ said that they're going to go live in about thirty minutes." Ashley said.

"Live? Why isn't this live right now?" Malisha asked.

"It's because there's going to be live guest stars here! The Symphonic Warriors!" Ashley shouted.

"The Symphonic Warriors? You mean that famous band composed of Sentient giant rock and roll-based instruments with limbs?" Malisha asked

"YEAH! They always go live when they are on stage, and they're the final act with three different songs. The event will also include, LASER LIGHTS! PYROTECHNICS! AND, HEART STOPPING…. MUSIC! Oh Mally, this is enough to make me freak out. I'm so excited!" Ashley squealed, as she was excited for the upcoming event.

"First of all. Don't call me Mally. Also, I hate to break it to you, but I think that some group is going to try and crash the party. Apparently, I've heard somebody said something about, Unleashing Hell. You're coming with me and the others to figure this out, before the last song plays." Malisha said, dragging Ashley away from the dance floor.

"Noooooooo. My groove was about to go into overdrive!" Ashley cried, as she reached towards to the dance floor.

(Upstairs of the Club)

The Four Revenants were now upstairs, and were now sneaking to the door Malisha was at. Ashley was also grumbling and had her arms crossed that she was forced to stop grooving and dancing.

"This better be worth it, otherwise…. I'M GOING TO mmf." Ashley yelled, as the rest of her sentence was cut off by Saika.

"Ms. Luna. I suggest that you remain quiet. This is considered a stealth recon operation. Which is the expertise where you suck at." Saika said.

"Oh. Well may I remind you Ms. Marine, that you officially suck in the art of, having fun." Ashley said, gesturing her hands, as if her were spelling out the words.

"That's not even an art. We just have different perspectives of how we define, fun." Saika said in deadpanned tone.

"That's because you're one of the boring people." Ashley said.

"And that means you are the perky and annoying type." Saika said.

"I prefer chipper and excited." Ashley said.

"What am I classified as, Ashley?" Mindy asked.

"Eh, I just go with meek and mild. It's not a bad thing really. You're a person that can do anything and just be cool in anything, and people will either not care, or they'll just think it's ok." Ashley said. Mindy only nodded as she took the response well.

Malisha then stop at the door as the other Revenants knew it was their target. However, no else notice Ashley running to the other end of the corridor. "Alright now. We should be very gentle about this. We don't want to…" Malisha was about to say don't rush it, but Ashley was already in action.

"SNEAK ATTACK!" Ashley yelled. The other Revenants turned around to see Ashley down the hallway, armed with her Star Breaker Arms, charging down the hallway.

The other Revenants were screamed out of fear of getting rammed. They then dived out of the way, as Ashley then busted down the door with immense brute force.

"THIS IS AN INTERVENTION! HANDS IN THE AIR FOLKS!" Ashley screamed. When the dust died down, Ashley only saw an empty room. "Aw man. No one's home." Ashley said, kicking some debris out of the way.

Saika then smacked Ashley on the head. "Next time, give us a proper warning instead of shouting out your attacks. Besides, sneak attacks don't work when you shouted it out loud.

"Well, what would you've done?" Ashley asked.

"I would've first drawn my Red Explosive sword. Then I would chop down the door causing a massive explosion, causing anyone on the inside to be temporary confused or deaf due to the loud noise they've just heard. After that, I would stand in the smoke still with my sword drawn, showing only my shadow. Their brains would then trigger a flight or fight response, since they don't know what they are up against. In addition, the enemy would only think they're being attacked by one person, so we would've have another element of surprise. May I also mention that this room might have been occupied by innocent civilians?" Saika explained. Ashley didn't know how to respond.

"I hate it when you're right. Well at least you aren't that boring as I thought." Ashley said, showing some respect to her peer.

Saika didn't showed it, but she had a nice smug feeling on the inside. The Revenants then surveyed the area, but saw nothing. Just an empty room, with a projector screen, a couple of chairs, some knocked over, and a portable coffee machine.

"Not a single clue. Whoever was here cleaned up after themselves well. They really don't want to leave any evidence behind." Malisha said. In the background, Ashley decided to take a sip of the coffee from the coffee machine. Her stomach didn't agree with it, and she immediately ran to the bathroom. Mindy then raised her hand to get Malisha's attention.

"Does that mean I have to use my nose?" Mindy asked.

"Uh huh. Get to work and put that panther nose to work. Time for detective Mindy to shine." Malisha said, patting her on the back.

While Malisha walked away to give Mindy so room, Ashley came back clutching her stomach, with her eyes narrowed and looking sick like a dog. Her cheeks then puffed up, as her face turned green, as she then ran back to the bathroom. She kept on wondering what was in that coffee. With no other distractions, Mindy closed her eyes and began focusing. She took a deep breath with her nose, and breathed out, accounting for the scents in the room, she then placed her hand on the ground and rubbed it, and then smelled it. She then walked over to another area, as she her pupils seem to transform from human pupils to dark cat like pupils. Her eyes then began surveying the area looking for any inconsistencies. In one corner, she spotted something in the corner. After closer inspection, it appeared to be a phone with a camouflage feature that was connected to a charger behind a footstool. She then picked it up and then walked back over to the other Revenants. Ashley came back, finding it hard to stay on her own two feet. Her face was still a bit green, and she then collapsed face first onto the ground.

"What did they put in that coffee?" Ashley asked, as she was still a bit sick, as she then passed out.

The other three Revenants came to the thought that Ashley would be okay. Saika then decided to ask Mindy about her findings. "So, what did you uncover in the area?" she asked.

"Well, I detected at least eighty different fresh human scents in this room. Also, based on the freshness, I suppose they were here around forty minutes ago. This means that we only have twenty minutes of whatever this gang is going to do. I also happened to find this phone. It seems to have been used lately, which is why the passcode didn't appear." Mindy suggested, as she then began searching for anything useful on the phone. "I went to the note section, and found that the owner is station for, Roof Shooting Squad." Mindy said.

"Roof shooting Squad? What does that mean?" Malisha asked.

Mindy paced around a bit, and then thought of something. She then stuck her head out of the hole in the door and sniffed the air. "I'm not sure. But for some reason, only twenty of the scents went out of the door, and the other sixty went somewhere else." Mindy said.

Mindy then continue to look and sniff around more. Just then, her eyes and nose caught something. There was a little shift in a nearby wall, and the remaining sixty scents were stronger there. She then walked over to it and knocked on it. She then placed her ear on the door.

"A hear a breeze. Wake Ashley up. We need her smash this wall." Mindy said.

"Is it necessary to smash the wall? Can we just use Malisha's Wall Hole spell?" Saika asked.

"I believe it is necessary to have Malisha at full power for whatever comes. We shouldn't waste it on just a wall. Besides, it's also a good way to get Ashley excited. She does love hitting things." Mindy said.

Malisha and Saika agreed with Mindy's logic. Malisha then created a magic circle, and stuck her hand in it. She then began digging through it, and then pulled out a bucket of water.

"I love my Magic Pocket Hole. It's like a gigantic purse that I don't have to lug around." Malisha said.

Malisha then drenched Ashley by pouring the water out of the bucket onto her face. Ashley then woke up with a jolt, as she gasped for breath. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" Ashley yelled.

"It was the quickest way to get you completely awake. Besides, this water has curative properties. See how you don't have any more tummy trouble?" Malisha said.

"Hey your right. It's like I never drink that coffee. That doesn't change the fact that I'm covered in water." Ashley grumbled.

Malisha only chuckled. She then snapped her fingers causing the water and moisture to come off her clothes, and back into the bucket. Malisha then put the bucket back into her Magic Pocket Hole.

"Much better." Ashley said, grinning.

"Isn't magic so wonderful?" Malisha said.

"Indeed, it is. I find it quite stellar." Saika said.

Mindy only gave a light smile, as the girls chuckled together, before getting back on task.

"Um…Ashley. Can you punch this wall right at this location, please?" Mindy asked, marking the wall.

"Do even have to ask!? Stand back! Wouldn't want to get you guys hurt." Ashley said.

"Were you thinking those same thoughts when you busted down that door?" Saika asked.

"Yeah. Maybe. Sort of. Ah, whatever." Ashley said. She then armed herself with her Star Breakers, and began smashing the wall with a furry of strikes, causing it to break. When the rubble cleared, the interior showed several gears and a pully like system. The hole also revealed a stair way that goes even higher.

"It appears that this wall is a secret door, operating on a pulley system on this side and the other side. The way it works is that one person stands in this room, and press firmly on this disguise panel right here. If no one is pressing on the panel, the lever on the other side will be locked. Considering the wall is hollow, I'm guessing a secret knock is used to clarify if the knocker is friendly or not. Adding to that, the sixty remaining scents lead up this stairwell." Mindy concluded.

"Way to go Mindy! What would we ever do without you?" Ashley said, as she threw her arm around Mindy's shoulders, and rubbing her on the head.

"Can you please let go of me?" Mindy asked, blushing out of embarrassment.

After Saika yanked Ashley off of Mindy, the Revenants realized they had only at least seven minutes before whatever what was about to happen. Malisha then rallied her team.

"Alright, here's the plan. Mindy, you follow the other twenty scents and see where they lead. The rest of us will go up these stairs as fast as possible. Time for this party to end." Malisha said.

Saika nodded her head in agreement. "Indeed. Let us arm ourselves." Saika said. She then extended her hand forward, causing black shadows to gather and manifest into Six Short Katanas, with two of each in a dual scabbard. She then attached two metal claws on her shoes as well. She then slipped on a black and white samurai kimono.

"Shouldn't you equip your actual combat equipment?" Malisha asked, as she then conjured a magic circle to equip her witch armor.

"It would take too long. Besides, lighter clothing grants me more swift and precise attacks. It has been a while since I've been in combat. So, I want to start out simple." Saika said.

Ashley then slapped Saika on the back. "That's small thinking. You need to think big. Like this!" Ashley yelled. She then threw off her current clothes, revealing her normal set of Armor, along with her Star Breaker weapons on her shoulders. How she did that, just roll with it.

"How did you do that?" Mindy asked.

"Just roll with it girl. Now let's get shaking!" Ashley said, as she began swinging her arms in circles to start feeling it.

While Mindy tracked down the twenty other scents, Malisha, Saika and Ashley began running up the stairs to arrive to a third floor. The third floor was wear the maintenance is managed as well as housing high power people. Right now. Since the entire club was booked for this party, it was normal that no one would be here. However, noise can be heard from another room, and it wasn't party noises. It was laughter, and chuckling. Saika grabbed Ashley's shoulder to make sure she wouldn't do anything reckless. Malisha then tip-toed to the door, and used a one-way Mirror Spell, allowing the Revenants to see the other side, without arousing any suspicion. What they saw was unbelievable. Sixty men in black suits stood in the room, armed with suspicious looking guns. What made them interesting was that they looked skeletal, powered by a dark energy source. The room itself had a huge see through window

While Malisha was examining the field. A thought then popped into Ashley's head, and she decided to talk to Saika about it. "You know girls. How come most mob gangs consist of mostly men? I mean, you never really see that many girls in a mob gang." Ashley asked

"Why are you asking that now? Besides, I think I see woman right there." Saika said.

"Oh yeah! No wait. That's just a really beautiful man." Ashley said.

Saika and Ashley cringed and shiver a bit from the sight. Just then, a man wearing Metal Mask and two gold braces on his arms stepped forward, and got everyone's attention. "Alright boys, you know the drill. Once the pyro technics start, make sure no soul is left unscathed. Tonight, we paint this town red." The boss said. The others nodded or chuckled in agreement.

Ashley was trying to piece it together. "Hmmmm. Paint the town Red. Lots of guns. A big Dude who's the boss, leading a gang. Leave no one unscathed? Hmmmmm. Is this a shooting to kill people?" Ashley asked, as Saika shot a look at her.

"It took you that long to figure it out? Well at least you're not that far in the dark. The question is how they are going to do it." Saika said.

Malisha on the other hand reacted differently than her friends. She was seething with rage and her eyes boiled with hatred. She clenched her fists, and gritted her teeth. Ashley and Saika seem to notice, as their expressions showed sadness for her. Ashley placed her right hand on Malisha's shoulder and smiled softy. Some of Malisha's anger subsided a bit.

"Thank you, Ashley." Malisha said in a softer tone.

"Your welcome, Malisha. Anyways, how exactly are these guys going to kill everyone here?" Ashley asked.

"Waiting till the last moment might give us a chance to see how, but if we have to act quickly. A frontal assault in this tiny room might be a hinderance for us. There's another viewing room on the other side. I'll sneak over there, and the two of you will stay here. Contact me with telepathy, if anything happens." Malisha said, while her friends nodded in agreement.

Ten minutes have passed and the stage was about to begin. Saika was constantly looking for any signs of actions, while Ashley was playing Clash of Spirits: Royale Battle with her headphones in her ears.

"Prepare yourself MonkeyKing86. You're about to be defeated by Supercoolchick9000." Ashley said to herself, while playing intensely on her mobile game.

"Ashley, stop! There doing something now!" Saika said.

"Give me five more minutes to cream this guy!" Ashley said.

Saika only rolled her eyes, as she then turned her attention back to the one-way hole wall. She saw that some men placing a spell card on the window, causing it to change to an aura of blue. One person then took his finger, and it then phased through the window, as if it didn't exist at all.

"No way. This is crazy." Saika said.

"I know right. I almost had that guy! But no! He just had to pull out an X-Rare unit out of his deck at the last minute!" Ashley complained.

"Would you please put that phone away!? The creepy gang is doing something now with the window. It seems they made it a transparent window now. So, would you please pay attention?" Saika asked, sounding even more annoyed.

"Ok, ok. Geez, no need to get so feisty. Who are you, my mom?" Ashley asked.

"Strangely enough, it feels like it." Saika said.

Ashley only pouted, but then noticed something. "Hey, check it out! It's the Symphonic Warriors! *sigh* I really want to be down there dancing are butt off right now." Ashley said, day dreaming.

Saika then bonked Ashley on the head, causing her to hold her head in pain. "OW! What was that for?" Ashley whinnied.

"For having the attention span of a five-year-old, that's what." Saika said.

Ashley only grumbled and crossed her arms. The two girls then went back to surveying the area. Meanwhile, the Symphonic Warriors were getting ready for their performance. The Band was made of Guitaar, a yellow Guitar robot, Basses, a blue Guitar robot, Drumss, a Red Rock and Roll Drum Robot, Piaano, a black and red Piano Robot with an upside down key board, Synthess, a Keytar and synthesizer robot, and their main singer Miccs, a Robotic Microphone.

"WHAT'S UP EVERYBODY!?" Miccs yelled, as everyone cheered the robots on. "I just want to thank everyone for coming out. These next two songs we'll be performing are to remind you that you have hope! YOU CAN DO ANYTHING! YOU ARE AMAZING! AND YOU ARE, A WARRIOR! NOW WHO'S READY TO ROCK!?" Miccs yelled.

The crowd cheered in excitement, wanting to hear the music play. Up above, the people that Ashley referred to as goons began lining against the window ready to take aim.

"Don't shoot until the Symphonic Warriors go live. We wouldn't want the world to miss out on the experience." The boss man said.

"WE'RE LIVE IN 3…2…"

As Miccs was counting down, the men position themselves in a shooting position. Others prepared hook ropes, possibly to lower themselves down to the lower floors safely. It doesn't take a genius to know what was about to happen. A shooting. Just then, Malisha sent them a telepathic message.

"Don't worry. I got it cover." Malisha said.

Saika and Ashley didn't know what she meant by that. But they trusted her since the leader of the Revenants is capable of many amazing skills. Ashley then covered her eyes, but moved her fingers, so her right eye was peeking. Miccs then finished the countdown.

"…1! WE'RE ARE NOW LIVE PEOPLE! OUR FIRST SONG IS ON! HIT IT DRUMSS!" Miccs orderd, as Drumss started the beat.

"And it will also be last one you'll hear. FIRE!" the Boss order, as the first 20 men at the window fired from behind the window, as dark energy bullets phased through the window, as if it were water. However, bullets came into contact with what seem like an invisible barrier. The men in the room looked outside, to see their ammo lying down in midair. They even saw the bullets bounced off the barrier as if it were a ground floor. The boss came to one conclusion after seeing this.

"Witchcraft." He said in a dramatic tone, while taking off his sun glasses. Saika and Ashley smiled. Ashley's smile was a smug one.

"Or as we like to call it; Malisha's Magic Touch." Ashley said.

"And she hasn't lost it after all those years in a giant rock." Saika said.

"Aw. I'm blushing. Anyway, as much as I like the compliments, this barrier acts as an impervious barrier to all attacks. However, it requires me to have focus with no disturbances." Malisha said.

"So, what's the plan now?" Ashley asked.

"Well, the barrier also acts as a floor if cast horizontally to the ground. Makes a good battlefield for beat them up type battles. Plus, it gives any Revenant Ballistic Damage Protection." Malisha said.

"That's great. Can you also put in an attack bonus for us too, please?" Ashley asked.

"I may be full of magical energy, but I can't do everything. Besides, I'm sure giving you a power boost is kind of overpowered. We don't want to bring the roof down." Malisha said.

"Ah well. Time to start wrecking some losers." Ashley said.

"Ashley, please don't…" Saika said in mid-sentence, as Ashley busted through the door, catching everyone inside off guard. She then rammed into several henchmen and knocking them out of the window on to the barrier.

"…charge in recklessly. Seriously, she is uncontrollable." Saika said.

"Not really. You just need how to work with her hyperactive mind. I suggest you go down and help her. We don't want to pay for a damage bill of a nightclub, again." Malisha said.

"Indeed. If I leave her unattended for too long, she might break something important, again. I'll shall end this battle quickly." Saika said, drawing two of her swords. One was colored green, while another was colored yellow.

Saika then sliced through what remained of the door, catching other henchmen off guard. She then swung her sword using the back of the blade to knock some henchmen out, she then landed on the barrier. She then Ashley getting pinned down, but she quickly recovered sending the goons on top of her flying towards her. Saika quickly ducked as the goons (or henchmen, whatever you want to call them), crashed into the wall. They were still conscious, and slowly recovering. Saika then stormed over to Ashley angered by her lack of regard of her surroundings.

She then grabbed her by the ear and yanked her up. "Ashley Night Luna! I am sick and tired of your lack of spacial awareness!" Saika yelled.

"LET GO! LET GO! LET GO! FOR THE RECORD, THIS ISN'T REALLY COMFORTABLE!" Ashley whined.

Just then they heard multiple footsteps on the field. Saika and Ashley then turned their heads to see the goons have mobilized into a tight formation with their weapons aimed at them. The head man then stepped out.

"Well, well. Isn't it a bit late for you girls to be out of bed?" The boss man asked.

"And who are you to be the boss of us?" Ashley asked.

"I'm Evil Eye Boss. A commander of the Dark Solider group. Now then, I'm reasonable man. None of you look like the magical girl type. So, I suppose you have another friend casting this barrier. If you tell her to call it off, I'll let you girls leave unharmed. We get back to our business, and your group gets leave unharmed. It's a win-win. I suggest you think through this carefully." Evil Eye said.

Ashley then put herself in a thinker posed, with her eyes closed. "Hmmmmm. No thank you. I think we're good." Ashley said, smiling.

"I rather lay down my life then let you sinners rob the lives of innocents, who have no connections with thee." Saika replied, drawing her second sword.

"Hmph. I'll admit, you two gals have guts. But I think your math skills are a bit off. There's sixty of us, and two of you." Evil Eye stated.

Ashley giggled a bit. "That is true. But it's also true that sixty men times zero power, times zero skill, times zero coolness, is equal to zero manliness. Seriously, judging by your appearances, if I hit any of you where the sun don't shine, I don't think it will hurt that much since you all seem to lack the parts to feel the pain." Ashley said with a devilish smirk.

"You brats don't know when to quit." Evil Eye said. He then drew a pistol and fired a dark shot at Ashley, who guarded the attack with her gauntlets.

"Hah. I've tanked stronger bullets." Ashley said.

"Oh. That was just beginning." Evil Eye said, pointing downwards.

Ashley then had a confused look on her face. She then noticed that the bullet was wedged into her gauntlet. She then brought it closer to her face for a better look. Just then, a bright light then flashed from the bullet, and exploded in Ashley face. Ashley was then sent flying back. Saika was both worried and dumbfounded of how Ashley was attacked. Worried because Ashley was an ally and friend, and the explosion looked dangerous. Dumbfounded, due to how Ashley reacted to the shard before it exploded. Ashley then sat upright, and shook her body to get the ashes off.

"Man, that packed a punch! That's it! Payback time! Let's get'em Saika!" Ashley yelled, completely enraged.

(Insert BGM: Electric Light Orchestra - Mr. Blue Sky (audio)) This isn't a Yugioh soundtrack

While the Symphonic Warriors were playing their next song, Evil Eye was a little surprised that the explosion didn't kill Ashley, but he regained his composure. However, he wasn't able to react in time to Ashley punching him in the face. Saika then notice that the goons were stunned to see their leader getting punched, that she took the opportunity to strike. Ashley then changed her target to the other henchmen, and began striking them in certain locations immobilizing them. Several other henchmen then fired a barrage of bullets towards her. Reacting to the threat, she brought up both her arms, and charged towards them with her arms in a cross position, shielding herself from the attacks. Once she got close enough, she then performed a mid-air combat split, knocking two henchmen out, and then struck another one in the head, knocking out tooth.

"What's taking so long!? She's just one girl!" a henchman yelled.

Just then Ashley appeared in front of him, and grinned. "SHORYUKEN!" She yelled, sending the goon flying into the air, and embedding him into the ceiling. This caused the ceiling to crack just a bit.

"Ashley. Please don't overdo it." Malisha said in a worried tone.

"Sorry. I can't help myself. I'm a lean-mean-pinpointing-breaking machine." Ashley said, as she then began striking certain body parts, immobilizing her enemies.

"Just don't destroy the ceiling. Otherwise, it will be considered a literal party crasher." Malisha said.

"Hey! You made a joke! I knew you had some funny bones in ya." Ashley said, smiling.

"I wasn't trying to joke." Malisha said.

"Still counts!" Ashley said delighted by her friend's use of words. Ashley then turned around to see that some of the goons have recovered, and were now charging at her as a group. "Huh. Is it just me, or are there more goons here now? I guess when you're fighting, you tend to lose count of how many you knocked out and haven't knocked out. Might as well put in some ompf in my next attack." Ashley said, smiling of how fun the workout was.

Ashley then crouched down, and jumped into the air to gain the high ground. "IT'S OVER NOW YOU GOONS! I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND!" she yelled cheerfully. She then placed her arms straight up, over her head, allowing her gauntlets to connect together. She then began twisting her body around, until a whirlwind of a vortex engulfed her. Her direction then changed, as she then began diving downwards to the unfortunate group of henchmen who were in her line of sight. The collision that occurred on the barrier caused Ashley's enemies to be sent flying into the air, come falling down.

"*sigh* It's a shame that these crazy special attacks do squat in the Duel Monster game. No matter what attack I do as a card in the game, my attack points say otherwise." Ashley said, as she then punched a goon who was sneaking up behind her without even looking behind her.

While Ashley was causing her end of the havoc, Saika was doing her fair share of the work load. She was just a bit more serious than Ashley. To armed herself, Saika threw the two swords she was holding into the air and instead of falling, they were suspended in the air and spun in the air. Also, the spinning airborne swords followed her wherever she went. She then drew two more swords, one colored red, and another colored blue, swiftly cutting down her foes. Some goons manage to regain the grasp on the situation, and began firing their guns at her. Due to the ballistic protection spell of the barrier, they did little to her. She then ran towards a group and sliced up the guns, and then swapped out her red sword, for the sword that was hovering in mid-flight next to her. The sword she was using now, glowed yellow, causing space around her to be distorted. From a goons' perspective, her body looked separated, and more disorganized.

"What is this!?" a henchman yelled. He then swapped his gun to sword mode, and swung it at Saika's body. Only that he didn't hit anything, as he was then attacked from behind.

"Quick. Switch guns to tracker mode! Her sword deceives our eyes!" A lead Henchman yelled.

The other goons did exactly as they were told and set their weapons to a less powerful, but accurate bullet type. Upon realizing this, Saika quickly sheathed her right sword and drew a different one, only colored white. With a quick swing of the sword, she then created an ice wall shielding herself. Saika knew that Malisha's spell raised her defense, but she prefers to avoid taking any damage at all. She then threw her yellow sword in the air, and retrieved her green sword, and in a blink of an eye, she moved at high speeds. Some of the henchmen, tried to find out where she was. Just then they felt a gust of wind, and it was cold. From above, Saika was suspended in the air, as she then created a gust of cold wind that froze her enemies' legs. Taking in the opportunity, she then began attacking them one by one, with the swords in her hand, and the swords that were in the air, also managed to wound some of the goons. Just then, another group saw and opening in her defense and were about to jumper her, which was what Saika wanted to them to think. The clasp on her right foot opened as she then used to grab the red sword in the air, as she then flipped her body into a hand stand position, and began fighting with the sword in her feet. The sword glowed red as it then created blazes of fire with each swing.

"Why does it feel like there's more foes here than the original number we saw? I might as well use the purple sword. I suppose I can spare a bit of my energy." Saika said.

"You sure? That sword drains the most energy out of you. Using it is risky." Malisha said.

"I only do it if the risks are minimal, or when there is a certain guarantee of its success. Unless you have another suggestion." Saika said.

"Hmmmm. How about a Blue, Green, and Yellow sword combo? I'm sure that'll get the job done." Malisha suggested.

"That doesn't sound bad. While the red sword is explosive with power, blue is pure might of muscle. While it will hinder the speed of my green sword, the yellow sword will create a field of illusions to lower our foes' accuracy. Many thanks, Malisha." Saika said.

Malisha only hummed in agreement, while Saika switched out her swords, having a purple and red sword in the air. Her airborne swords that spin act as barriers for her, making it harder for her to attack. They do less damage, and deal no elemental effects, which is a fair trade off. Saika now was armed with a blue sword in right hand, a green sword in her left, and yellow sword on her left foot. She stood in place for a moment on right foot, adjusting her balance. The goons tried to swarm her, but the yellow sword glowed, creating the illusion of a disorganized body to some, while others saw duplicates in places out of reach. While the blue sword lowered the green sword's speed boost, Saika made up for it for the pure strength that the blue sword gave off, dealing in devastating one-shot strikes. Saika managed to defeat the swarm of goons.

Saika and Ashley then re-grouped together, clearing out and knocking out almost everyone. The only one who remained was the head man, Evil-Eye.

"Well, what do you know. You guys don't have zero manliness. It's below negative nine-thousand manliness. Being below negative nine-thousand is nearly impossible. It would explain the easy workout and all." Ashley said.

"Malisha. Shall this man's sins be judge by our hands, or should we let the authorities handle it?" Saika asked.

"I say we throw them down a dumpster shoot." Ashley suggested.

"Authorities. They can rot in jail for all I care." Malisha said.

Evil-Eye then began chuckling, grabbing the attention of the Revenants. "What's so funny? Laughing at your own defeat?" Ashley asked smugly.

"No. You think you have me cornered. But what when a wild animal is cornered and has nowhere else to run, YOU FORCE IT TO FIGHT BACK WITH ALL OF IT'S MIGHT!" Evil-Eye yelled, as he raised his hand into the air, and staff, with a dark sphere came flying into his hand.

Ashley jaw dropped. "That was so amazing. How did you do that?" Ashley asked.

Saika didn't liked it. She immediately charged towards Evil-Eye to prevent him from doing anything else. However, Evil-Eye was able to counter Saika's sword attacks.

"It's simple. I have a wrist band here that lets me call upon any items that have the same signature as this band. Seeing as you put my boys to sleep, how about we wake them up. Fair warning, they might be grumpy." Evil-Eye said, while he talked and fought at the same time.

He then jumped back, and slammed the lower end of the staff into the ground and began chanting. The dark orb then started to emit dark static energy, as it then sent out several bolts of energy towards the fallen men.

"Isn't this the part where we go "OH NO, what are you doing", and you tell us what it is you're doing?" Ashley asked.

"Considering the two of you are going to die, might as well brag about it while I can. I'm just transferring dark energy from this crystal into my men, making them stronger than ever. They will also be a bit more aggressive on the other hand." Evil-Eye said.

What he said was true, as the fallen goons began to rise, with dark blank eyes, and black vapor expelling from their mouths.

"Oh, come on! That's cheating!" Ashley yelled in annoyance.

"The only way we can stop it, is by eliminating the source. It is a difficult task, since he's all the way over there, and his goons just keep coming back every time we defeat them." Saika said.

"Can't we just kill them? I mean they did try to shoot innocent people who just wanted to rock out tonight. Also, we're trying to defend ourselves." Ashley asked.

"Ashley. I want these men to answer for their crimes, and be officially announced as enemies to the world. Killing them is considered the easy way out for them. They don't deserve it." Malisha said with hatred.

Ashley and Saika were silent for a moment. They understand how much this meant to Malisha. Ashley and Saika

While fending off another wave of strengthen henchmen, Saika's purple sword reacted to them strongly. Curious, she drew it and attacked. The henchmen, screeched in pain as he stepped back and fell. The Dark Energy then left his body immediately, and it rejected all other forms of it to enter. He was still alive of course. Saika then smiled, and immediately sheathed all of her other swords, and was now only wielding her purple sword, with a double sword hand grip.

"I see. The purple sword is more effective against draining magical energy than physical energy." Saika said.

"Can you explain it to me again? I need a refresher." Ashley said, punching a goon in the face.

"I'll give it to you in a nutshell. Purple sword drains energy. It better at draining magical energy. The energy that is drained is stored in the sword. I must use the energy in the sword or else it'll blow up in my face. The purple element usage of the sword drains my energy faster than all my other swords. That good enough for you?" Saika angerly explained, as she then vented her anger out on an unfortunate soul.

"Yeah. Loud and clear." Ashley said casually.

"*sigh* Stand back." Saika said.

"HOLD IT! You can't just do that! Even if you wipe out the mob, you're nowhere in reach of their creepy boss man. You'll just waste energy if you don't hit him. Also, even if you do reach him, his lackies will get the jump on you before you knock him out. Malisha said.

Saika acknowledge this as she then withdrew. As the swarm of goons enclosed on the two fighting Revenants, Saika then made an ice dome with her white sword, to shield Ashley and herself, in order to regroup. While the revived and upgraded henchmen pounded on the ice dome, Malisha then came up with a plan. "Saika, Ashley. I have an idea. If the dark crystal can empower these nobodies, maybe it can do have a reverse effect. After all, for some reason, it's power feels familiar, and I can probably manipulate it through your purple sword, Saika." Malisha explained.

"That's great! What's the catch? There's always a catch." Ashley said, is a deadpanned tone.

"The catch is that Saika has to mentally focus all of her energy into the purple sword, time an accurate strike on the main boss man's crystal, while avoiding taking any hits." Malisha said.

"Well that sounds pretty hard to pull off. But with all these respawning enemies, we don't have much of a choice. Besides, we've been through worse." Ashley said, but with some confidence.

"Plus, there's the fact that I have to focus every ounce of energy into the sword for an effective radius. But I suppose that this is as much as our past experiences. I'm in on this plan." Saika said, sheathing her others swords, and now having a double grip on her purple sword.

"Indeed. We may be strong, but that prison put us out of shape. If we were to keep fighting, the battle would never come to a stop, and we would be out of stamina. Might as well burn it all up for one final blow. Saika, you focus on concentrating your energy. Remember, it's up to you to land the final blow. No pressure. I'll guide you on the way." Malisha said.

"You've saved me from despair, and gave me strength to move on. I have complete faith in you that I'm confident that I can do this with my eyes close. Also, it eyesight tends to hinder a person's senses." Saika said, as she was actually going to close her eyes.

"I'm glad you feel that way. Ashley, I need you to stay close to Saika and fend off anyone who gets closer to her. You need to lead the charge as well, but remember, your main objective is beat up anyone who tries to hurt or even touch Saika." Malisha said.

"Darn it! I hate escort missions! But since I'm escorting Saika, she won't be like one of those dumb A.I.s that end up killing themselves. This sounds pretty exciting." Ashley said, swinging her arms in a circular motion.

Saika and Ashley then exchanged looks showing that they were ready. The henchmen were now starting to crack the ice dome, but the two Revenants kept their focus. Malisha then waited for the right moment to give them the signal. As the barrier began to shatter, Malisha then raised her voice.

"The battle is now brewing! NOW GO!" Malisha shouted.

Ashley and Saika moved in unison as they weaved their way through the massive swarm of goons. Saika had her eyes closed and was now concentrating all of her energy into her sword, while Ashely was performing attacks, and protecting Saika with all of her might. Malisha gave Saika directions to either move left, right, jump, forward, or duck. Ashley was now spinning on her leg, like a top, while circling around Saika to provide her with support. Seeing what the two Revenants were doing, Evil Eye lit up his crystal to command some henchmen to form a wall like formation to protect himself. Saika and Asley noticed, but they did not stop charging, as they kept on moving forward.

"Ashley! Get in front of Saika, NOW!" Malisha commanded. Ashley then performed a combat roll, and placed herself in a crouching position. "Now boost Saika!" Malisha said. Saika then jumped into the air, and landed on Ashley, who launched her into the air. Saika then twisted her body in the sky. Ashley then jumped into the air as well, and grabbed Saika by the leg, and threw her at Evil-Eye. "TAKE THIS! PURPLE SAIKA MISSILE!" Ashley yelled, with ferocity. Before anyone could react, Saika was now performing a downward dive at high speeds. When Saika was in range, she brought down her sword with all her might, striking the crystal, causing a pulse of energy to spread out through the field. Ashley was unaffected by this, since Malisha shield her from harm. However, as for everyone else who was in range of the pulse, immediately had their energy drained. The goons then began dropping like flies, as they immediately collapsed onto the magical barrier, and were defeated for good. As the dust died down, Saika was seen standing, breathing heavily, as she then got on her right knee, due to exhaustion. Ashley then ran up to her comrade and supported her.

(End BGM)

"Whoa. I gotcha buddy. Up we go!" Ashley said.

"Did I…get them all?" Saika asked.

"Hmmmmmm. I think you did good job. No one's moving. And that Evil-Eyeball guy looks pretty weak. I grade your final attack an A+!" Ashley said, drawing an imaginary A on Saika's forehead.

"Thanks. But did you really had to announce the attack, especially with that horrible name?" Saika asked.

"It is a great name for that matter." Ashley retorted.

"Is not." "Is too." "Is not." "Is too." "IS NOT!" "IS TOO!"

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything important, but I think that last attack may have caused a blackout. The breaker was destroyed in the middle of the fight." Malisha said.

Ashley and Saika then notice that the only source of illumination was the magic barrier that they were standing on. Apparently, the show was now over, but everyone down below thought that it was because of the grand finale. Ashley then gave a smug look at Ashley. "And you say I over do it." She said.

"You destroyed an entire city block once. This is nothing compared to that." Saika said. Ashley smiled and gently smacked her own head with her fist.

They then notice that Evil-Eye was in a nearby corner, and was still conscious, but very weak. Ashley, who was still holding onto Saika, walked over to the fallen foe and looked down at him.

"You…think you…won?" Evil Eye asked.

"That depends on what your back up plan is. You have a bomb strap to your chest? Poison wrist shooters? We've been fighting a robot version of you? You're going to deploy a tactical nuke?" Ashley asked, thinking of all of the possible outcomes.

"Besides. No one died tonight, and everyone here was defeated by our hands. Thus, I see no reason how you can win right now." Saika said.

"Hmph. Well the thing is that…" Evil-Eye was about to start until interrupted.

"Ashley…Saika? Are you there?" a voice from above said. It was none other than Mindy waving above from the window.

"Hey Mindy! You missed out on our one-sided brawl!" Ashley yelled.

"I'm…not sure really sure if it was one-sided." Saika said.

"Nice to hear. Though, I think my side was… a bit hectic.

"HEY! I'm talking here. So, listen to me, because you haven't won yet!" Evil-Eye yelled in annoyance. Only for Saika to point one of her swords at his face.

"Shut your mouth you whelp. It's rude to interrupt a conversation between friends. We don't care about your back-up plan, because it will do nothing. Now still your tongue, or I'll do it myself." Saika said in a menacing tone, as her eyes had intensity within, making Evil-Eye quiver.

Mindy was a bit frighten by Saika's eyes, but she went back to telling her side of the story. "As…I was saying. I followed the scent to a building across of this place. Apparently, there were some armed men, with some guns with dark crystals. I overheard something about shooting from above. I didn't know what to do at the time, but I got spotted and they attacked me. So…I went feral. I almost lost control, but in the end, some ran, while others fell. No one died though." Mindy said, sounding a bit shaken after explaining the events.

Evil-Eye was shocked after hearing what Mindy said, even frighten. "She…defeated them?"

"Oh. So, that was your backup plan! You were going to have those roof guys put bullet holes in the group of people exiting the building. Pretty clever." Ashley said, with a sly smile on her face.

"I guess the original intention for them being up there was to shoot anyone trying to run out of the building, when the gunmen here started shooting from above. How despicable." Saika said, giving a menacing look at the Boss.

Evil-Eye was at a loss of words. Looking at the panther girl, she didn't appear strong, but yet she decimated the entire roof squad. Not to mention that the Swordswoman, and gauntlet wielding crazy girl were able to overpower an army of sixty men. Suddenly, the barrier then began to descend to the lower floors. Everyone that was conscious looked around, and conveniently, no one else was around. Footsteps were then heard, from another corridor. Malisha then came out into eyesight, and her face had one of seething, but calm, rage. She then walked up to Evil-Eye, and stared down at him. Suddenly, she then slammed her foot into his stomach. Evil-Eye let out a scream of pain, and cough out some blood. Saika, Ashley and Mindy step back, frighten by Malisha's sudden anger.

"You filthy, no-good, inhumane man. Killing people just to prove some little point. Tell me, what did you plan to accomplish tonight? If you won't tell me a good an answer, I'll make you cough it up." Malisha said, as she pressed her foot even harder on his gut.

"Arrgh…. fine. I'm part of a group, known as the Dark Soldiers. Our goal is to demonstrate our strength and control major powers. The weapons we were using were to help us with our job. The crystal that powers it contained many possibilities, and killing is one of them. Our boss order us to come to this location, to destroy the hope and replace it with despair. After that, we would continue to kill, and kill, until we are completely recognized, and are feared because of our strength. But no matter, even if we failed today, there's more just like me, and only four of you. So, I suggest that you…AARRRRGH!" Evil-Eye then took another foot into the gut from Malisha.

"You know, I despise people like you. Senseless violence just to prove a stupid, point. I'll admit that we've killed people in the past, and we don't care for those we killed. But the difference your little gang, and us is that we kill only those who decide to mess with us, and leave bystanders alone." Malisha said, as her foot sunk even deeper into Evil-Eye's gut.

"But…we do offer surrender and run away, or imprisonment." Ashley said.

Malisha eyes became more menacing as she began staring directly into Evil-Eye's. "You know why people die in wars? It's because they fight for an ideology they believe in. The soldiers on both sides all know consequence of failure is the same: death. Soldiers that died in battle knew that death was a possibility on the battlefield, but they still made that choice meaning they had deal with conflict. However, people who don't choose to fight for something radical, but rather just live normally, they have no quarrel with anyone. The ideals that a majority of them have, aren't as major as the ones we fight for. If people oppose the ideal of living normally, just enjoying the ups and downs of life, then they don't truly understand the actual value of life." Malisha said, as she pressed her foot even harder.

"Well…I think you're just a hypocrite. Your eyes are stained with darkness. You and your little friends…are just like us. Trying to rise to power…with force…and through dark measures. You're planning on…ruling over the weak…and you want complete control." Evil-Eye said, gasping for air.

"You're right. We do desire to rule, but we wouldn't say it's dark. Ruling over the weak is actually normal. It's true that strong people rule over the weak, but it all boils down to the methods. They could be the wise guiding the weak, a strict ruler who wishes to strengthen the weak. People like you don't even care about the weak, rather, you don't even see the weak. Rulers must acknowledge that weak and strong must coexist. To rule by pure strength and fear, is nothing more than terrorism." Malisha then leaned in closer, as she exerted more force. "Oh, by the way, just because our eyes are dark doesn't necessary mean that we're evil. This just means we chose a certain method to achieve our ideals."

She then retracted her foot, and then kicked him harder in the gut, sending him rolling across the floor. He then began coughing up blood, and gasp for air.

"Geez! Take it easy Mally! I know he tried to commit mass murder, but you could at least tone it down a bit. You make police brutality look like a pillow fight!" Ashley yelled, holding her right arm before she decided to take the kiddy gloves off.

"Sorry…it's just…well…you know." Malisha said, calming down a bit.

"It's understandable why you would feel all this grief. Just remember to not let those emotions consume you." Saika said. Mindy nodded in agreement, as she didn't really know what to say.

Malisha then let out a sigh and then grabbed a nearby chair. "Well, let's get out of here before the stygian patrol gets here and clean up the mess." Malisha said, in rather depressed tone.

"You don't…sound happy. And after everything we accomplish tonight…I figured you might be more, enthusiastic." Mindy said.

"A little. But it's the loser laying down there said it himself: there's more of him, and there will be always a next time for them. We were just here by convenience. There just going to keep on killing and killing, until they final prove their stupid point." Malisha said, letting out a big sigh.

"Well, why not let the higher ups handle it?" Mindy asked.

"They might order an investigation, but I doubt that these guys would leave behind any evidence. They've taken into consideration the possibility of intervention. Notice the lack of energy in the room?" Malisha asked. She then pointed to the weapons that were on the ground. "Whatever what was powering those weapons, lost its potency the moment that Saika unless that energy wave. And now, we don't have any leads, at all." Malisha then slumped down in the chair.

Mindy then came up to Malisha and tapped on the shoulder. "Actually, I've got something." Malisha then raised her head, and as Mindy began digging around her pockets. "You see, after my confrontation with my foes, I began digging around their pockets, and searched their belongings." Mindy said, recalling her actions.

"And what made you do something like that?" Saika asked.

"Considering how dangerous these men are, I decided to find more info on them, by seeing if they held anything valuable we could use or information we should know." Mindy said.

"Well…that was very bold of you to go that far." Saika said, feeling a little uneasy.

"Detectives have to go out on a limb to find evidence and clues, no matter how nasty and repulsive it is. Even if my panther nose disagrees with the smell. Anyways, I found these car keys in one of the goons' pockets. After sounding key alarm, I discover a car hidden in a nearby alleyway. Don't ask me why they made such a poor parking decision, but the car apparently has a special G.P.S. that records the previous places the driver has been. When I checked the screen, there were a variety of places, but I was able to narrow it down with these notes that were in the car." Mindy then pulled out a notebook, and opened it to a page with several different locations. The head title of the page was pick-up locations. "Apparently, this car was used as a delivery and pick-up for certain items. Now that could be anything. However, I found this notebook in the trunk, in a metal box. After picking the lock, not only did I found this notebook, but I also found this." Mindy then took out a bag that contained the same crystal that was used to power their weapons.

"HEY! It's that freaky crystal!" Ashley yelled.

"First looks aren't everything Ashley. Upon closer inspection, this is actually a dust crystal with dark and malicious properties. Unpurified, so it's in it raw state, meaning we should be careful around it. Now, if we apply logic to these two new facts, new information should come to light. Considering that the notebook with the specific locations, and the small dust crystal was found in the same box, we can most likely assume that the vehicle containing these two items is not only used for transport, but also has been to their home base and pickup locations for dust crystals." Mindy said.

"While it is impressive that you were able to come to that conclusion, the main question is how does it help us?" Saika asked.

"Actually, it makes it quite easy for us. Apparently, these guys thought if they spread out their pickup locations, they can confuse anyone who followed them. However, it made them more trackable." Mindy then took out a map of the current city that they are in. "Conveniently, all of the pickup locations are located in this city. I marked each location, and apparently, while most branch off, a majority of the pickup areas, are located around in the Northeast sector of the city." Mindy said.

Saika however decided to make sure Mindy was being clear. "Hold on Mindy. It may be true that most of the deliveries and pickups may of occur in that region, but that does not prove that this group's main base is located in that area as well. We may end up going on a wild goose chase." Saika argued.

Mindy only shook her head. "I'll admit that I don't have any concrete evidence to prove that they have a main base here, let's not forget the main key factor in all of this. The dust. Dust should only exist on remnant, not in the spirit world, since they are two entirely different dimensions. Also, it appears that this group has been gathering this type of dust for the past week. Now if we take a look at the weapon, we can see that the dust crystal has been used up, being completely drained. But the size of the crystal tells a different story." Mindy said.

Ashley then seem to get where Mindy was going. "Oh, I get it! Considering the power these weapons were packing, they had to use a huge amount of dust!" Ashley said.

"Ashley is correct girls. The men here also didn't consider our intervention, so I think it's safe to say they would plan another attack. So, let's pretend that we weren't here, and everyone died. They would have had to regroup and plan their next target. And when you plan for your next target, you have to reload your weapons. Apparently, the amount of dust fragments in the car isn't enough to power for all the weapons that would be used. In other words, it's highly likely that the Shadow Soldiers' base has high concentrations of dust energy in the Northeast area of this city!" Mindy yelled in a determined tone.

"No way!" Ashley yelled, as her body flinched back out of shock.

"Well done, Ms. Nara. While not conclusive, it's still highly possible. Your deductive skills are to be commended." Saika said, clapping.

"T-th-thank you. I'm…just glad to help. It's makes me feel…happy in a way." Mindy said, as she then began to blush.

Malisha then got up, and took a deep breath. A smile then appeared on her face as she then conjured her magic pocket hole, reached in and pulled out a meter like device. "Mindy. Can I see that dust crystal?" Malisha asked, holding out her hand.

Mindy gently nodded, giving her leader the crystal in the bag. Malisha carefully placed the dust crystal into a slot on the machine, and it then began giving off pinging sounds. "This little gadget was originally made to look for certain dust crystals in mines. I zeroed in on the energy signature of this crystal. All we have to do now is get a car, drive around town, and hope we get lucky." Malisha said.

"I'll drive!" Ashley yelled.

"Um…Ashley. I'm not sure if our driver's licenses are still legal. I'm sure they expired over the years while we were sealed in the rock." Saika said.

"Oh. You're right…. THEN WE'LL TAKE THE TAXI!" Ashley yelled.

"We didn't bring enough money for that. We only planned on having a little nighttime hangout." Saika said.

"Why do you always ruin my flow? It's cool girl. Not cool!" Ashley said. She then pouted and crossed her arms.

"Well, we do have enough for the subway." Mindy suggested.

"Eh. The Subway is cool too. Next stop: Terrorist lair! Vamos mis amigas!" Ashley yelled, pointing her finger forward triumphantly. Saika wondered why she was speaking Spanish, but she didn't bother to ask.

The four Revenants then head out of the building to track down this organization for certain reasons. Ashley wanted to do something intriguing. Saika wished to bring honor. Mindy just wanted to help. As Malisha, she wanted to destroy everything they stand for.

(Grimm Layer or Grimm Base, or Grimm Cave. Whatever you want to call it).

Going back to this place, right now, Shinrai, Hidou, who were fully dressed, and Siren were seen going to the Grimm Technology Center. Apparently, they've been called by Liege, as he said he has an important assignment for them.

"So, does anyone know what we are doing?" Hidou asked.

"No. Liege just said to come to the lab." Shinrai said.

"If I'm being completely honest here, I would be anywhere else, as long as it is far as possible from you bone heads." Siren said.

"Isn't bone head a way to describe a Grimm? I mean, back on Remnant, some of us had skulls on our heads." Hidou said.

"Jay doesn't have a skull on his head, so I'm not sure if bone head is an accurate term for him." Shinrai said, petting Jay. *chirp* "He did say however that he might develop one if he continues to grow."

The three Grimm thought about it for a while, and decided that the word bone head is a way to describe a Grimm. They then continued walking, while there was a silence in the air. Upon reaching their destination, they then found both Liege and Rodney in the room, standing in front of something covered in cloth, that was twice the size of Liege.

Liege then walked up to the team members and greeted them. "Greetings Grimm Ops. I trust that you are well?" Liege asked, shaking each of their hands.

"Yes. Yes, we are." Shinrai replied.

"So, what's the deal Liege man?" Hidou asked.

"Well actually, Rodney was the one who asked me to call you. He also the one who has your next assignment. I'll just leave you guys alone. Later fellas." Liege said. He then stepped out of the door, but not before he waved his hand at them.

Siren then slowly turned her head towards Rodney. She really wasn't looking forward to this. Hidou then notice her face and got curious. "Hey Siren. You know this crazy looking dude?" he asked.

"I met him once. I was a delivery gal for one his gadgets. Although, this guy is somewhat of a nut-job." Siren said.

"Normally I would say that it's all in your head, but this guy's appearance alone is enough to convince me." Hidou said.

Rodney then walked up the "I believe we never met. I'm Rodney. I'm in charge of tech, bio, and other science related subjects, research. I'm also an inventor. Since we're going to be working together I figure, you know, we should get acquainted with each other. I'll be right back." Rodney then ran off to another room. The three Grimm teenagers could only hear some items falling and some other loud noises. Rodney then came out holding a platter with several muffins. "One of my hobbies that I like to do is baking. Muffin? It's blueberry." Rodney said.

At first, Siren, Hidou and Shinrai were a little bit reluctant to eat them. However, once they took a bite, it was actually quite delicious. "Huh. Not bad Rod. This actually takes good." Hidou said.

"Eh. It's not half-bad." Siren said, being neutral about the taste.

"While delicious, l think that the lemon flavor of the yeast overpowers the blueberry taste. Anyways, what is our mission?" Shinrai asked, sharing some of his muffin with Jay, who happily pecked it.

"Of course!" Rodney then ran over to the item that was underneath the cloth. "I present to the three of you, the one, the only, SPIRIT BRIDGE GATE! BEHOLD!" Rodney yelled, as he then pulled the cloth off in a dramatic fashion, and then threw it up into the air. The device was what appears to be a giant metallic ring, with several controls on the side. The Grimm teenagers, except Shinrai, were amazed by the device. Even Jay flew up to the machine and inspect it as the device interest him. Rodney stood proud in front of his machine.

"What does it do?" Shinrai asked.

"Good question my friend. With this amazing contraption that I've conceived, the Grimm can now move freely between the spirit world and the mortal realm with ease. Now I know what you're thinking. Why would I build a big complicated teleporter, when another duelist has a transporter on their wrist that's lightweight, and is portable. Well the thing is that these duelists require a license to travel between the spirit and mortal world. The chances of a Grimm getting a license is out of the question. Also, transport systems on duel disks are tracked and recorded. This machine however completely masks teleport records and hides its signature, meaning we won't have to deal with any higher ups. Plus, no matter how many times we use it, our Grimm signatures will always be under the radar. Only problem with it is that it can't transport anyone into buildings." Rodney explained.

Siren only gave several glances. "So…what does that have to do with our mission?" Siren asked, in a flat tone.

"You could at least sound intrigued. Anyways, the thing is that I'm going to transport you to here." Rodney then pulled up a monitor showing a white building that looked like a science research center. "This here is a special facility that specializes in different science based subjects. The building over here is the bio-research center. The objective: obtain as much DNA samples in the vault. The ones I want are the feral type of DNA. You know, large huge man-eating animals, the big and scary kind. One of my favorites are the ones with sharp teeth. Catch my drift?" Rodney said.

Hidou thought about it for a moment. "So, you want DNA from monsters that are big, scary, intimating, and with the ability to be destructive. Did I hit the bullseye?" Hidou asked.

"Dead on. Liege told me that the three of you are great at missions like these. So, I really need your help with this." Rodney said.

"What do you plan on using this DNA for?" Shinrai asked.

"It's a surprise. Anyways, you're going to be needing this backpack. Don't worry about the size. They should be as big as test tubes." Rodney said.

Shinrai, Hidou and Siren then stepped onto the platform, and the machine began to start up. Siren then had a thought. "Wait. Is this thing safe?" she asked, with hints of nervousness in voice.

"Of course. Maybe. Probably. Sort of. Ah, what the heck, I'm sure you three will be fine. I think." Rodney said.

"You think?" Shinrai asked.

"Well, it is first actually used this thing, and the three of you are the first living things to be transported." Rodney said.

Siren and Hidou only blinked a couple of times, before processing what Rodney just said. "SAY WHAT!?" They yelled in unison. Shinrai and Jay were the only ones that didn't seem worried.

"RODNEY, YOU RAT! WHEN I GET BACK I'M GOING STRANGLE YOU!" Siren yelled, as she tried to get out of the energy field.

"Please let me live, please let me live, please let me live, please let me live." Hidou begged, getting on his knees, and put his hands together.

"We better make plans for the mission, Jay." Shinrai said, having no worries at all.

Rodney only pulled the switch as a flash of light then filled the room. When it died down, the three Grimm teens were no were in sight. Unfortunately for Rodney, he had his eyes opened when he pulled the switch. "OW my eyes! Man, I really need to work on those brightness settings, or have some emergency sunglasses in this room." Rodney couldn't see where he was going as he then tripped over a pipe, and fell on his back. "MY LEG! Maybe I should lay down here for a moment to avoid unnecessary injuries until my eyesight comes back. Note to self: don't lemon flavor in the muffin batter." Rodney said.

(Outside of the Facility)

Right now, the Grimm Trio were laying on the ground, dazed and confused, attempting to regain their grounds.

Siren was checking her body to make sure she wasn't missing any limbs, or other body parts, or if any of her body parts have been mutated. Hidou was laughing out of relieve that he survived and was still intact. Shinrai only dusted off the dirt on his clothes. Once Siren confirmed that she was still completely normal, she however noticed that her Duel Disk was destroyed. The teleportation must have been the source. Siren's mood then changed to one of tone. "Oh, once I get back to the lab, I'm going to give Rodney the torment of a life time!" she snarled, with her fist balled up.

"Take it easy Siren. You don't have to make such a big deal out of something so little." Hidou said.

"As if you're one to talk! You get mad over losing simple video games!" Siren argued.

"Well excuse me if the stinking multiplayer doesn't recognize me for my ultimate skills!" Hidou yelled.

"That's totally not true. You probably stink on cow manure levels." Siren said.

"Why, you pink headed, ugly looking, brat! I'm going to make you eat those words!" Hidou yelled.

"Make me!" Siren yelled. The two Grimm stared each other down, with sparks generating between their faces. Shinrai then stepped in between the two and pushed their faces away from each other.

"Cut it out you two. Our mission is about retrieval, not arguing amongst ourselves. Interestingly, if I had to describe you two accurately when you argue, it's like lover's quarrel." Shinrai calmly said.

"NO WAY THAT'S CORRECT! IT'S COMPLETELY STUPID AND IDIOTIC!" Siren and Hidou yelled.

"It's just my opinion of what I think. Let's go now. Jay, gives us a bird's eye view please." Shinrai asked. Jay then nodded and then flew into the sky to see.

Hidou and Siren decided to leave the discussion in the dust, and follow Shinrai. The three Grimm snuck around to some nearby bushes next to the gate of the facility. Apparently, it was heavily guarded with two guards, and another guard in an outpost. There were also a couple of security cameras around the area. Jay then flew back down to Shinrai, and told him that the inside of the facility has a couple of spare uniforms. He then flew back to take care of the security cameras. Siren and Hidou had no idea how a little bird could disable an entire security system. After a couple of minutes past, the front entrance security cameras moved in circles, up and down, and side to side. Siren and Hidou were baffled, but knew it was the time to take the opportunity to strike. Three Grimm, three guards. After positioning themselves in their proper positions, the Grimm trio then ran out, and attack then guards, taking them out. Siren kicked her guard in the head, Hidou used seismic toss and it was super effective! Hidou only entered the booth and slapped the guard across the face knocking him out cold. After unlocking the small door on the gate, they snuck into the ventilation system to avoid making contact with anyone.

"Hey Shinrai. How do you know where we're going? We don't have a map of the facility." Hidou said.

"Jay is in the security room. He knows the ins and out of this place now. We're connected via telepathy, so he's relaying me the directions now." Shinrai said, as they took another corner along the corridor.

"Wow. He's a lot more intelligent than I originally thought." Siren said, amazed of what one little bird could do.

The trio of Grimm than reached the locker rooms, and dropped down. Hidou took a spare security officer uniform, Siren took a scientist lab coat, and Shinrai took a janitor uniform. The trio of Grimm then snuck out of the room, and there were only a few people.

"The two of you head down this hallway. You should find the vault there." Shinrai said, as he then walked in the opposite direction.

"And where do you think you're going?" Hidou asked.

"I'm going to the CEO office." Shinrai replied. Before any questions could be asked, he immediately speed walked away. A question then came to Siren's head. "Why are we even taking orders from him again?" she asked.

Hidou thought about it for a moment. "Last I checked, he was never in charged. The only reasons why we follow his plans is because I'm too cool for formulate plans, and you're an incredibly stupid, dumb idiot." Hidou said.

"I think it's more like you have a huge, obnoxious ego. And for the record, I'm definitely smarter than you." Siren said in a direct tone. Hidou only scoffed at it, as he and Siren continued to make their way to the vault. After a couple of seconds walking, Hidou and Siren then finally saw the vault door, which was a gigantic metal circle door, guarded by twenty guards.

"Wow. How precious is that DNA? I mean, that's a lot of guards for just a couple test tubes with some animal's blood." Hidou said.

"More importantly, what does this facility do with it?" Siren asked.

The two Grimm teenagers didn't question it any further as they had to figure out how to deal with all the upcoming guards. "Hey, you! Why are not at your post?" One of the guards yelled. Hidou realized that he was the one being addressed.

"Well….I'm…looking for the bathroom." Hidou said.

"It's right there down the hall. It's impossible to miss. Plus, there's a huge sign there." The guard said, pointing to a sign that said restroom.

"I have a headache." Hidou quickly replied.

"You sound completely fine to me. Suspicious, well, that's another different story." The guard said, as the other guards got suspicious as well.

Hidou tried to come up with a better excuse but gave up. "Ah forget it!" he then grabbed his evil swarm deck, and absorbed it into his right arm instead. Suddenly, Hidou performed a force palm attack that emitted dark energy, slamming the guard against the wall, knocking him out.

"OPEN FIRE!" another guard shouted. The bullets made contact, with the Grimm but dealt no damage.

"HAH! Youse thinking those little pea shooters are going to hurt us? This is a real attack." Hidou then slammed his palm the ground, causing the ground to rise up in a wave like motion, with black energy. The guards were caught up in the rock wave, and were sent flying in the air, knocking them out cold.

"Well, so much for keeping a low profile here. How did you do that anyway?" Siren asked.

"Well, the other day when the other Grimm said that my duel disk arm was cool, I decided to go up a notch and do something with my righty. So, I asked I decided to implant a weapon in my right arm. Now whenever I absorb my deck with my right hand, I can harness the Evilswarm energy, and pull off wicked attacks. Still hurts though." Hidou said, as he tried to hold back his tears.

"Right. By the way, aren't you going to thank me for saving your life?" Siren asked, with a smug look.

"You save me? From what?" Hidou asked.

"From those bullets. Duh. Before those ding dongs opened fire, I used my semblance to double your aura. Apparently, with enough concentration, I can double to aura of any Grimm, that are near me. Or I can triple my aura rate for a short time period. After that, I'm a lot more weakened, though that only applies for the second part of my semblance. So, go ahead and thank me now." Siren boasted.

"Sure. Thanks for letting me show off how awesome I am, and how much better I am at combat." Hidou said.

"Coming from a man who thinks arm fused weapons are cool, I'm not sure whether to put that under idiotic, or freaky work of art." Siren said.

"For the record, I was one who caused this massive destruction. It should be you, who should be thanking me!" Hidou argue.

"Geez, what for? Being a nuisance, or a complete eyesore? Either way, both of those seem quite stupid to thank you for." Siren said.

Siren and Hidou then butt heads together, snarling and clenching their teeth at each other. The standoff then turned into a fist fight, as both Grimm began beating each other up in a dust cloud. Little did they know, Shinrai was coming down the hallway and was moving a laundry cart. He ignored his two teammates, since he had no time to stop them from fighting. He noticed that the entire area was devastated, but went back to minding his own business. Since he couldn't push the cart any further, he stopped and began digging through the clothing bag. He then pulled out, a middle-aged man, who had the CEO pin on his suit. While Hidou and Siren took care of the guards, Shinrai focused on capturing the CEO. He walked over the bodies of the unconscious guards, and went over to the lock. Hidou was thrown over his head, as he then ran back to tackle Siren. Shinrai then placed the CEO's both hands on the scanner, giving off a verification. He then opened one of his eyelids for a retinal scan. After that process, a vocal recognition is immediately needed. Shinrai then stomped on the CEO's foot, causing him to wake up and scream in pain to get the vocal recognition he needed. Shinrai then punched him in the face knocking him out again. He then searched the guards, and found 20 special keys, and inserted them into the machine. Alarms then went off catching the attention of Hidou and Siren.

"Come on you too. The alarms are signaled whenever the vault opens. Reinforcements will be here soon." Shinrai said, as he entered the vault. Siren and Hidou then followed Shinrai into the vault and quickly closed it, and destroyed the locks at the same time.

Within the vault was an array of high tech cabinets. It was also really dark inside, with the only illumination being the green lights. Hidou only whistle. "Now that's a lot of DNA. Did Rodney ever tell us how much to grab?" he asked.

"Just grab the good ones. The ones that are lethal." Siren said. The three Grimm then raided every draw they could find, searching and digging through each cabinet. When they were finished stocking the tubes, they then heard banging outside. No doubt it was reinforcements.

"According to Jay, there are heavily armed outside. A couple of Cyber Alligators, Launcher Spiders, and a whole bunch of heavily artillery." Shinrai said.

"I thought this place was a bio-research center." Siren said.

"There's also another area for machinery nearby. So, based on the situation, our only options are A: Hold out here and defend, or B: go head first into the fire and hope we come out with a few 1st degree burns. Raise of hands for A." Siren raised her hand. "Ok. Raise of hands for B." Hidou raised his hand, while Siren lowered hers. Shinrai raised his hand as well. "Option B then."

"I'm going to strangle Rodney after this." Siren said with anger.

"If you're going to strangle someone, strangle someone out there, behind the door." Shinrai said.

Outside the door, multiple mechanical machines and soldiers stood their ground. Suddenly the vault door then busted open, as a knight wearing dark armor and riding an evil looking Unicorn jumped out of the smoke and cut down everything. This is Evilswarm Thanatos, and Hidou was riding on with it, shooting everything he saw with his right arm. "Yeehaw! Rid'em cowboy." Thanatos glared at Hidou, as he cut down another guard. "I mean knight. Knight." Not too far from behind, was a shadowy figure. He had blue skin exposed on his upper body, and wore a silver spikes all over his body. His head resembled that of a brain, and he had two red eyes. His nails were sharp and colored blood man. His cape seemed to move with a mind of his own. "You think you can defeat me? How laughable! You're no match for me! A DEITY! NOW KNEEL OR DIE MORTALS!" the spirit lead, as he then charged in with a lunging posture. Shinrai and Siren then came out last.

"Shinrai, who the heck is that?" she asked.

"Destiny HERO – Dangerous. He'll buy us enough time to slip past most of these guards." Shinrai said, as both he and Siren made a break for it.

"He seems, a bit unstable." Siren said. Dangerous was now ripping up whoever he saw with his claws, and some attack were barely working on him. A Cyber Alligator then attacked him from behind, but Dangerous responded by extending his black cape, ensnaring the alligator, and slamming it down into the ground multiple times. "BWAHAHAHAH! AHAHHAHA! BE HONORED THAT YOU ARE BEING DEFAETED BY THE ONE AND TRUE DEITY!" Dangerous yelled, as he threw the alligator at some guards, knocking them down.

Siren only looked at shock of both the destruction, and weirdness the Hero gave off. Shinrai then decided to speak. "He's has a severe superiority complex." He said.

"I think that's pretty obvious." Siren replied.

Further down, Hidou dismounted Thanatos. "Thanks for the lift Than the Man." Hidou said.

"Don't call me that, and don't say it like that. That only works for a person who has "Dan" in their name." Thanatos said, as he then charged back into battle. His horse then jumped into the air, (the roof was pretty high), and he attacked as if he were galloping in the sky.

The trio of Grimm then grouped up and began high tailing out for the exit. Thanatos and Dangerous then began to hold off the guards. "As of now! Those three are now divine protection, BY ME! And this other guy." Dangerous said, addressing Thanatos as the other guy.

"Just do your share." Thanatos said, as he charged in.

Going back our trio of Grimm, they were being guided by Jay, who was guiding Shinrai, in the facility. "According to Jay, the all of the exits are sealed off. He'll meet us up soon." He said.

"I guess that mean we're just going to bust through every wall we see. Anyone who says otherwise gets a tour of my famous fist!" Hidou said, smacking his fists together.

"I suggest not to use all of our energy at once. We don't want to be at a disadvantage. It won't be easy breaking through the blockade they've establish." Shinrai said.

"

As for Siren, she pulled out the card that Malisha gave her and activated it. "Well, might as well see how strong these Revenants are."

(Somewhere in the spirit world)

On a subway station, the four Revenants were disembarking off of the train. In Malisha's pocket, there was ringing sound. "The three of you go on ahead. I'll catch up later." Ashley, Mindy and Saika nodded and went on ahead. Malisha then tapped on the card, and a holographic image of Siren's body appeared. "Why hello Siren. How are you?" Malisha asked.

"Disregarding all the guards who are trying to kill me…I say I'm doing just fine." Siren said, doing a crane kick on one guard to the face.

"If you're doing so well, how come you're calling me for help? Don't you have confidence in yourself and your teammates?" Malisha asked.

"Well, the thing is that I don't have a deck, and both Hidou and Shinrai used up their energy to summon their spirits. Sure, I can double their aura levels, but doesn't really apply to spiritual energy. I just want even the playing field. Besides, consider this a test. None of you shown me what you can do, so I want a demonstration right now." Siren said sounding serious.

"My, aren't you a feisty little girl. Alright then, I'll send someone to your location. Bye, bye!" Malisha said, hanging up. She then made a magic circle on the card to call up on another person. "Hi Lola, it's me. I have a favor to ask you."

(Facility)

The Grimm trio were making some progress with their escape so far. More spirits came running up to the Grimm. Hidou attacked them by, creating a dark vortex on his arm, and smashed through a Gadget Shoulder. Siren jumped on top of a Spider Launcher, and forced it to attack its teammates, and then pulled out most of its wires. Shinrai stood face to face against a Metal Zoa, and weaved past it's attacks. He then summoned two Drilldarks. Since Duel Monsters rules didn't apply, the Drilldark performed a pincer attack on Metal Zoa, while Shinrai went in for a killing blow.

A question then came to Siren's mind. "You know, I'm starting to wonder why none of these guys challenged us to duel yet. I mean, dueling is how things work around here, in this world." Siren said.

"I guess these guys think it would be easier to take us out the old fashion way. You know, with guns and close-range combat. I'm just glad their guns don't really work on us." Hidou said, summoning Evilswarm Castor and Ketos to help out.

"Be careful though, they still could do something else. Hey look, it's Jay." Shinrai said, as his bird came flying back and perched himself on his shoulder. The Grimm continued to run through the defending spirits. After decimating most of the spirits and guards, the three Grimm teenagers then saw the exit.

"FREEDOM!" Siren and Hidou yelled with joy, as they dove for the exit.

This freedom, however, was then denied by an electrical pulse that appeared right in front of them. Hidou and Siren jumped back, as a figure began to manifest from the electrical pulse. Tall mechanized figure colored black, with yellow lines appeared kneeling down. Its green eyes lit up and flashed. On it's left arm was a built in Duel Disk. He then spoke in a cold stern voice. "Trespasser are to be eliminated."

"Ha! You're just another one of those spirits, with just a few upgrades!" Hidou yelled, as he charged in.

"Hidou, wait." Shinrai said, but his voice was to soft to show warning.

The opponent then raised his left arm up, and emitted a blue pulse of energy, sending Hidou flying back. "My name is Troy. I'm a duelist hired to keep people like you out." Troy said.

"Then were you at the start of the entire incident? Also, if you were hired to stop people like us, how come you weren't at the vault." Shinrai asked.

"Around the time I was inactive, because of today's lunch. My stomach didn't really get along with it, and immediately decided to dispose of it. The last five hours of what I endure caused me so much suffering." Troy said, sounding a bit embarrassed at the facts.

Siren looked a little disgusted. "Okay, we're going to stop you there before you go into more detail." She said.

"Indeed. PRESSURE ON!" Troy yelled. His armor then created gaps on his shoulders and legs, as they let out a pulse of energy. Hidou, Siren and Shinrai suddenly got on their knees finding it hard to stand. "This field is a test of true endurance. The lower your energy, the harder it is to fight. This is turn affects anyone, including me. I prefer to fight the strongest and the one who's in top shape. Apparently, all of you are affected I suppose none of you are worthy. Normally, I wouldn't use this, but my duty to protect this place comes first." Troy said.

Troy then walked up to the fallen Grimm, lying on the ground to apprehend them. Just then, a flash of purple light struck from the sky, and pierce the roof of the building. The flash then struck the ground right between Troy and Siren. Troy immediately jumped back, and some of the energy transfer to Siren. Siren felt energy flow through her body, and she found the energy to stand. A deep female voice then spoke.

"Siren! That's your name, right? Well if it is then stop looking so pathetic! Normally, I don't question Malisha's judgement, but I've got to have some doubts this time." The voice said.

"Who, are you?" Siren asked.

From the light, a barrier formed between Troy and Siren to prevent anything from interrupting the conversation the voice and Siren were having. From the light, the female figure took form. She was a pale skin woman, wearing a green long-sleeved shirt, with brown jeans. On her chest, was a V-Shaped yellow armor, and a circular sword sheath, which contain two swords. On each of her arms were two smaller yellow mechanical disks. She had medium length light brown hair, and some hanging in front of the right side of her face. She also two black eyes, with green irises. "I'm Vanguard Revenant Lola. Right now, I think that you're pitiful. Malisha sent me here to help you out. We made a bet on whether you're ready to fight and accept us. She really has a lot of faith in you. I don't want you to disappoint her." She said.

"I can already tell we aren't going to get along well. But, you're our only option to get out of this mess. Fine then. I'll so you that I'm strong enough to fight alongside you." Siren said.

Lola, only smirked. This may be one bet she would want to lose. "Those are fighting words. Okay then, I'll join ya. You'll be needing this to duel." Lola said, tossing something to Siren. When Siren looked at it, the item was a bracelet like object that was black on the straps, and had red triangles engraved on the sides. However, the main feature of it, was the purple orb that, was the size of a watch face. The band then immediately attached to Malisha's left wrist. "Okay. This is kind of freaky." Siren said. The barrier then lowered, to reveal Troy patiently waiting for the two women to finish talking.

"DUEL!"

Turn 1: Siren
Siren: 4000LP vs. Troy: 4000LP
Siren Hand: 5 vs. Troy Hand: 5

"Siren! Place your fingers on the bracelet's orb, as if you were drawing from a deck." Lola instructed. Siren only nodded as she did as she was told. When her fingers were about to touch the orb, dark energy manifested on top of the orb, and formed a total of five starting cards for her hand. Siren was a bit surprised by it, but eventually drew the card. "Now let go of them." Lola said. Doing what she was told, she let go of the cards, and they disperse. The cards then reappeared in front of her, allowing Siren to see her hand right in front of her.

"What is this little thing?" Siren asked.

"That Pink Head is called a Nether bracelet. This little trinket is connected spiritually to the Dark Dimension, which not only acts as our little hub, but as a power source for the Revenant deck. You see, the Nether Bracelet creates a deck depending on what's going on in the hub, meaning it's builds a suitable deck for the current situation. For example, since I'm the only Revenant in the extra deck right now, there are few Dark Tuners in the deck, to prevent clutter. Revival cards to bring me back, and other heavy hitters besides me, just in case I'm not enough. The cards in front of you, are the cards in your hand now. Of course, there are no special rules, but it's a lot better than carrying around one of those hunks of metal. Plus, it's quite fashionable. You should be able to figure the rest on your own." Lola said.

"Thanks, Lola. I'll make sure that I put this to use. My turn now! I summon Nether Husk – Rally Flag, in attack mode!" Siren then grabbed the card in front of her, causing it to dissipate. A black portal then appeared, as the monster came running out. Nether Husk – Rally Flag was skeletal like creature, with a black vest on its upper body, and a black waist faulds on its lower body. It's head also resembled that of a Dragon's Skull. He was also carrying a flag pole, with a dragon skull on it.

Nether Husk – Rally Flag
[LV: 2] [Attribute: Dark]
[Fiend/Effect]
[ATK: 900] [DEF: 1000]

"Rally Flag's effect activates! Whenever he's summoned successfully, I can reveal the top five cards of my deck." Siren declared. Rally Flag then began waving his flag, causing Siren's bracelet to create five more cards, as they were all revealed to the duelists. "Also, if there happens to be a Dark Tuner among the revealed cards, I can add it to my hand. I add the Dark Tuner, Cursed Chaos – Executer to my hand. The rest go back to the bottom of the deck. I can only use this effect once per turn." Siren said. The selected card flew to the rest of her cards, while the rest disappeared.

"Next, since I control a monster with Nether Husk, Cursed Chaos, or Revenant in their name, I can special summon Nether Husk – Lancer Knight to my field, in attack mode." Siren declared.

Nether Husk – Lancer Knight
[LV: 5] [Attribute: Dark]
[Fiend/Effect]
[ATK: 1200] [DEF: 2000]

The ground in front of Siren then broke apart, as an armored, skeletal creature, similar to Rally Flag appeared. His armor was yellow with purple outlines. The creature wielded a long lance in his right skeletal hand, and gigantic shield in his left. His helmet resembled that of a knight's helm with horns on the side.

"Lancer Knight's effect depends on his current battle position. When in defense mode, you can't target my dark attribute monsters with card effects. However, whenever in attack mode, all dark attribute monsters on my field gain 800 attack points. That's it for me now."

Nether Husk – Rally Flag: 900ATK + 800ATK = 1700ATK

Nether Husk – Lancer Knight: 1200ATK + 800ATK = 2000ATK

Turn 2: Troy
Siren: 4000LP vs Troy: 4000LP
Siren Hand: 4 vs Troy Hand: 5+1

"My turn now. Draw. I play the continuous spell card The Kaiju Files, and the field spell Kyoutou Waterfront." Troy said.

Kyoutou Waterfront
[Spell: Field]

Kaiju Files
[Spell: Continuous]

The Kaiju Files showed a desk, with tons of paperwork on top, showing a variety of gigantic monsters. As for the field spell, the entire scene shifted and changed to a city that resembled Tokyo, with a gigantic tower in the center. "The next two monsters I'm going to summon are quite special in a way. The first one requires me to sacrifice one your monsters, and summon it to your field." Troy said.

"Wait. Your summoning a monster to my field?" Siren asked.

"Indeed. I now release your Lancer Knight, to summon Kumongous, the Sticky String Kaiju, to your field in attack mode!" Troy declared.

Kumongous, the Sticky String Kaiju
[LV: 7] [Attribute: Earth]
[Insect/Effect]
[ATK: 2400] [DEF: 2500]

Nether Husk – Lancer Knight was then struck by a sticky web, and was immediately pulled up. The clouds then turned orange and dark, as two gigantic spider appendages descended from above, and it was on top of a spider web it quickly weaved between several buildings of the field spell. A web then followed as a gigantic spider, with spikes on its legs, and a yellow and black color scheme crawled out from above. The monster gave out a terrifying roar, as it positioned itself on Siren's field. Since Lancer Knight is no longer on the field, his effect no longer exists.

Nether Husk – Rally Flag: 1700ATK – 800ATK = 900ATK

Lola was disgusted by the monster. "Ugh. You gave us this ugly thing!? It's so disgusting. I hate bugs. I know spiders are classified as arachnids, but it's in same category of creepy crawler." Lola said. She really didn't like bugs.

"Not to mention you gave us a stronger monster as well. I don't really see the logic in your playstyle." Siren said.

"This is just the first part of my plan. Since a Kaiju monster was summoned to field from my hand, my Kaiju Files spell card gains one Kaiju counter. Also, since a card was sent from the field to graveyard, my field spell gains a counter." Troy said.

Kyoutou Waterfront Counters: 1

The Kaiju Files Counters: 1

"Now that you have a Kaiju monster on your field, I can summon any other Kaiju monster to my field now. Come forth from another dimension and wreak havoc on this battlefield! I summon Raidan, the Multidimensional Kaiju in attack mode!" Troy yelled.

Radian, the Multidimensional Kaiju
[LV: 7] [Attribute: Dark]
[Fiend/Effect]
[ATK: 2800] [DEF: 2500]

Behind Troy, a dimensional rift started to form as it then took a shape of a crack. Suddenly, two dark hands appeared from within the crack, as if something was trying to claw its way out. The crack got bigger and bigger until the monster's head, with dark horns and red eyes, emerged. It then tore the crack in dimensions even wider, and jumped out of the damage rift, and landed behind Troy, as it let out a fearsome roar. The spider Kaiju roared upon seeing Radian, as the two Kaijus now seek dominance.

Lola and Siren only went on the defensive as they were about to witness a clash between titans. "Since Radian was summoned from my hand, my spell card gains a counter. However, I'll use two of those counters to activate his special effect! I can now summon one Radian token!" Troy declared.

The Kaiju Files Counters: 0

Radian Token
[LV: 7] [Attribute: Dark]
[Fiend]
[ATK: 2800] [DEF: 0]

Radian then let out a roar, as he began to rip open another tear, through dimensions. Another version of Radian then stepped out of the torn dimension and the two Radians roared in unison to show their superiority.

"Brace yourself, Siren. We're in for a bumpy ride." Lola said.

"I know that." Siren said in an annoyed tone.

Troy then went on the offensive. "I'll have the original Radian take out Kumongous first! Dimensional Crush!" Troy yelled.

Radian let out a roar, as he then began warping himself to Kumongous. Kumongous then lunged towards Radian, arming his pincers. Radian however grabbed the pincers with his hands, and lifted the spider kaiju into the air, and threw him into the air. Radian then warped to position himself in the air, and then slammed Kumongous down to the ground with his fists, causing the Spider to explode. Siren and Lola covered themselves, to reduce the impact.

Siren: 4000LP – 400LP = 3600LP

"I'll now have my Radian copy take out your Rally Flag! Dimensional Crush!" Troy yelled. The token Radian then warped himself in front of Rally Flag. Rally Flag was now shaking out of fear, that anyone could hear his bones rattle. Radian then raised his foot and stomped on the puny monster, causing major damage to Siren, who got sent flying back.

Siren: 3600LP – 1900LP = 1700LP

"Careful Siren. One more attack like that, and you're history. Also, I don't want to win a bet where I get defeated in the end." Lola said.

"I know that." Siren said in an annoyed tone. She then got on her two feet and stood tall.

"Since two cards were sent to graveyard, my field spell gains two counters. I play one card face-down, and end my turn." Troy said.

Kyoutou Waterfront Counters: 3

Turn 3: Siren
Siren: 1700LP vs. Troy: 4000LP
Siren Hand: 4+1 vs Troy Hand: 1

(Insert BGM: Duel of Rebellion)

"My turn now, draw! I activate the effect of Cursed Chaos – Executer from my hand! If you happen to control a level 7 or higher monster, while I control no monsters, I can special summon him from my hand to the field!" Siren yelled, playing the card.

Cursed Chaos- Executer
[LV: 9] [Attribute: Dark]
[Fiend/Dark Tuner/Effect]
[ATK: 0] [DEF: 0]

Dark smog then appeared on the field, as a figure emerged from the smog. This dark tuner, was a giant, with a dark green muscular body, and wore dark rags. His head was covered by a mask, that only showed his red eyes. He also carries the blade of a guillotine which was attached to a piece of rope.

"Next I use the spell card Monster Reborn! Now I can resurrect one monster from either of our graveyards. I select my Nether Husk – Rally Flag! Next, I use Rally Flag's ability! Whenever successfully summoned to my field, I can reveal the top five cards of my deck and add one Dark Tuner monster among them. Rally Flag's ability revealed the Dark Tuner Cursed Chaos – Iron Maiden, and I'll add her to my hand." Siren said.

Monster Reborn
[Spell: Normal]

Troy felt a bit uneasy. So far, Siren's cards looked a bit ominous, and she kept talking about something called Dark Tuners. He could only sit back and watch.

"Lola. It's time. Are you ready?" Siren asked.

"I've been standing here, for the past two turns, waiting for you to summon me. OF, COURSE I'M READY KICK SOME KAIJU BUTT!" Lola yelled.

"Alright already. 'Yeesh. And I thought Hidou was hard to deal with.' Now, powers of darkness converge! I now dark tune level 9 Cursed Chaos Executer, with level 2 Nether Husk – Rally Flag!" Siren declared.

"Dark…. tuning?" Troy said, wondering what it meant.

Cursed Chaos – Executer then twirled his guillotine, and then flung it at Rally Flag, as the blade dug into his body. Executer then dispersed into nine stars and dug there way into Rally Flag's body. Within the creature's body, a total of eleven stars. Four of the stars collided with each other, leaving only a total of seven stars remaining. Rally Flag's body then dissipated as the seven stars turned dark and began circling in the air.

"So far so good. Now say a summoning chant for me." Lola said.

"Huh?" Siren replied.

"You know, the phrase that duelist say when summoning a badass monster. It would be weird for a monster to say a summoning chant about themselves." Lola said.

"Well, I don't know exactly. It's my first time doing this." Siren said.

"Let it come to you. Remember, the badass doesn't choose the words. The words choose the badass." Lola said, placing both her hands-on Siren's shoulders.

Siren thought about it for a moment. She then looked at Lola's card, and at that instant, she knew what to say. "Rampage from the darkness! Stand up and lead the charge of chaos! Dark Synchro! Rise, negative 7, Vanguard Revenant – Lola!" Siren yelled.

2 – 9 = -7

"Now that's a badass summoning chant!" Lola yelled. She then turned into a black apparition and flew into the center of the circling dark stars. When the dark light died down, Lola stood in place with her weapons still sheathed, but with a cocky grin. The Field spell also gain two counters since a card was sent to the graveyard.

Kyoutou Waterfront Counters: 5(max)

Vanguard Revenant – Lola
[LV: -7] [Attribute: Dark]
[Warrior/Dark Synchro/Effect]
[ATK: 2700] [DEF: 2000]

"So, this is a dark synchro summoning. Quite malicious." Troy said.

"You think that's bad? We've just begun!" Lola said.

"I agree. Lola! Attack Radian, the Multidimensional Kaiju!" Siren yelled.

"I'll lead the way!" Lola yelled. She then drew one her swords and began charging towards the gigantic kaiju.

"At this moment, Lola's effect activates! Whenever she attacks an opponent's monster, I banish the top card of your deck!" Siren yelled. Lola's left disk gauntlet then lit up, creating an energy disk. She then threw out her arm, sending the disk spinning towards Troy's disk, causing one card to fly up from the top of his deck. "Depending on the card that got remove, Lola gets to activate one of three special abilities. Now, what's the card type?" Siren asked with confidence.

"A monster-card. Dogoran, the Mad Flame Kaiju." Troy said, as the card disappeared.

Lola looked pleased. "ALRIGHT! That's my favorite hit card! Now I get 300 attack points for each level that banished monster has. Dogoran is level 8. So that means a punishing grand total of 5100 attack points!" Lola said, with a devilish grin. Her V-Shaped chest armor then generated energy, and acted as a rocket booster, and wings for Lola.

Vanguard Revenant – Lola: 2700ATK + (300x8)ATK = 5100ATK (for battle)

Lola then flew up into the air, as Radian tried to grab her in mid-flight. She then drew both of her swords, and stabbed them into his head. She then carved two horizontal lines, down the middle of his body, causing the enormous Kaiju to explode.

Troy: 4000LP – 2300LP = 1700LP

"Now we're on even footing. I'll set two cards face-down and end my turn." Siren said.

Turn 4: Troy
Siren: 1700LP vs Troy: 1700LP
Siren Hand: 2 vs. Troy Hand: 1+1

"So, this is your monster. I'll admit that's it's strong, but it won't be around for long. First, I'll use the spell card, Pot of Greed allowing me to draw to more cards. Now, your monster will be used a tribute for…" Troy said until interrupted off mid-sentence.

Pot of Greed
[Spell: Normal]

"You can't." Lola said.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Troy asked.

"What I mean is that I have another continuous effect. I can't be used as tribute for any card effects or summons that require tribute. In other words, my effect prevents either player from sacrificing me." Lola explained.

Siren then taped her Nether Bracelet to bring up her effects. "Hmmm. She's right. It says here that 'This card cannot be used as tribute, for card effects or summons that require tribute', and there's more. 'This card cannot be used extra deck material. As long as this card is on your field, graveyard, or removed from play, your opponent cannot take control of this card'. What does the last part mean anyway?" Siren asked.

"It means that if I'm chilling in the graveyard, for example, Mr. Troy over there can't use Monster Reborn to bring me back to his side. I'm done being somebody's puppet. Malisha was the one who gave me the will to act on my own, and I'll never let anyone else decide my fate. Now, Mr. Troy. I believe it was your move. That is, if you have one." Lola said, taunting Troy.

"While your effect is quite problematic for my Kaijus, I'm well prepared for situations like these. I'll activate the effect of Kyoutou Waterfront. Whenever it has three or more Kaiju counters, I can add one Kaiju monster from my deck to my hand. I'll Jizukiru, the Star Destroying Kaiju!" Troy declared.

"Even if you add a Kaiju to your hand, you can't summon it, because Lola can't be use as tribute. In other words, you can't summon anymore of your Kaijus." Siren said.

"Then I'll just have to put something on your field myself. I play the trap card Nightmare Archfiends! This card lets me summon three Nightmare Archfiend tokens to your side of the field in face-up attack position." Troy declared.

Nightmare Archfiends
[Trap: Normal]

Nightmare Archfiend Token
[LV: 6] [Attribute: Dark]
[Fiend]
[ATK: 2000] [DEF: 2000]

Nightmare Archfiends showed a duelist having his field invaded by three black imps, with white hair and red eyes. The three imps then came out of the card and landed on Siren's field. Lola inched herself away from the imp that was next to her, and she then drew a line in the ground. "You cross this line, and I'll give you the first-class pummeling." Lola said in quiet, but intimidating tone. The imp only chuckled.

Siren only smiled. "Impressive. Seeing that you can't sacrifice Lola for your Kaijus, you given me tokens to sacrifice instead. Also, I have worried about the 800 points of damage I'll receive if they're destroyed." Siren said.

"You're a fast learner. Let's see if you can adapt faster. I sacrifice one your Nightmare Archfiend Tokens to summon Jizukiru, the Star Destroying Kaiju to your side of the field!" Troy yelled.

Jizukiru, the Star Destroying Kaiju
[LV: 10] [Attribute: Light]
[Machine/Effect]
[ATK: 3300] [DEF: 2600]

Kaiju Files Counter: 1

One of the Nightmare Archfiend tokens was vaporized, by an orange yellow laser beam from the sky. From above, gigantic black metal and orange colored kaiju appeared from the sky. It was mechanical and had multiple fins on his back. His body radiated with orange colored energy, and the face visor was red. The Kaiju stood on a long, thick snake-like tail, and had two little feet, in comparison to his entire body. His forearms were long, and had laser blasters on the ends of his claws. The Kaiju gave out a mechanical like roar, as it began blasting everything around it. The Kaiju files card gain a counter due to its effect, and Siren felt a little overshadowed by the giant monster. Lola only whistle. "I have to say that this Kaiju is quite the looker." She said.

"This is no time for admiration, Lola." Siren said. Troy then continued his turn.

"Now that you have a Kaiju on your field, the conditions are now met. I now special summon Thunder King, the Lightning Strike Kaiju from my hand!" Troy yelled.

Thunder King, the Lightningstrike Kaiju
[LV: 9] [Attribute: Light]
[Thunder/Effect]
[ATK: 3300] [DEF: 2100]

The sky from above turned black, as lightning flashed across the sky. From the sky, a three headed, quadrupedal white skinned dragon, descended from above. It's upper body, radiated with yellow energy, as it gave a bird like screech.

"I now activate Thunder King's effect! I remove three Kaiju counters from Kyoutou Waterfront. Now you can't activate any card effects for the rest of this turn, and Thunder King can attack three of your monsters!" Troy yelled. Thunder King then generated electricity all around him.

Siren however countered. "Not happening! I chain my trap card to your monster effect! Breakthrough Skill! This card negates your monster's effect for the entire turn!" Siren yelled. The trap then emitted a ray of energy, and aimed at Thunder King. A yellow aura appeared around Thunder King, as it then shattered.

Breakthrough Skill
[Trap: Normal]

"That's some good thinking, Siren! We would have been in huge trouble if he triggered that effect." Lola said.

"You're not out of the woods just yet. I still have two attacks for this turn, meaning I have two chances to destroy your tokens. And with their destructions, follows your defeat! Thunder King! Attack one of the Nightmare Archfiend tokens!" Troy yelled. The three heads of Thunder King then generated electricity in their mouths and fired it at the Nightmare Archfiend token.

"Siren! Hurry up and do something before we lose!" Lola yelled with anger.

"Alright already! You don't have to be so pushy all of the time!" Siren yelled. Lola then turned her head around in creepy way, and looked directly at Siren which sent a chill down her spine. "S-sorry. Please don't hurt me." Siren then regained focused on the duel. "I'm going to lose this duel! I play my face-down! Magical Arm Shield! Whenever you declare an attack and I control a face-up monster, I can take control of one your monsters and redirect the attack to that monster instead! I'm choosing your Radian Token!" Siren yelled.

Magical Arm Shield
[Trap: Normal]

Magical shield then appeared in the Imp's hand. The Imp raised the shield up and pointed it at Radian Token. The front of the shield then opened up and a spring like mechanism, with clamps on the end, emerged from the shield, and clamped onto the Radian copy's leg. The Shield then began pulling Radian forwards, towards Siren's side, as the Imp then used the Shield to fling the Radian Token into the sky, without any effort. The lighting blast then collided with the Radian Token causing it to vaporize. Siren took damage, but was baffled of how a little Imp was able to lift a skyscraper sized Kaiju into the sky. Lola and Troy were also at a loss for words, while the Imp kept on chuckling.

After 10 seconds astonishment, Lola began to regain her composure. "I've seen many outrageous things in this game. But this in one takes whole cake." She said.

"No kidding. Even I wasn't suspecting that. Maybe it was just the magic in that shield." Siren said.

"Well…either way, since the Radian token was destroyed on your field, you still take the battle damage. You survived for now, but next turn will be your last. I play one card face-down, and activate the continuous spell, The Dark Door. Now we can only attack with one monster on each of our turns. I shall now end my turn." Troy said.

Siren: 1700LP – 500LP = 1200LP

(End BGM)

Turn 5: Siren
Siren: 1200LP vs Troy: 1700LP
Siren Hand: 2+1 vs Troy Hand: 0

Before beginning her turn, Siren took a couple of deep breaths and readied herself. She felt nervous of her next turn. She looked at the bracelet and placed her fingers on the card that materialized. Her eyes then had a determined look in them, as she knew it was time to get stronger and win. Without declaring it, she drew her card and looked at it. "This will do." Siren said with a stern look.

Lola noticed and smiled. "I guessing I'm going to lose this bet." She said.

(Insert BGM: Yugioh Duel Links: Alexis Rhodes Theme)

"First I'll play the spell card Double Attack! Now by discarding one monster card from my hand, I can target one monster, with a level lower than the discarded monster, and that monster can attack two times this turn. I discard Level 10 Cursed Chaos – Iron Maidan from my hand, and this lets level negative 7 Lola attack twice this turn." Siren yelled, discarding her card. Now get in there and show that Kaiju who the real monster is.

"You don't have to tell me that. I already had the intention to do it." Lola said.

Double Attack
[Spell: Normal]

Lola drew both of her swords and began running across the city field spell. Thunder King fired pulses of electricity at Lola. The Revenant only weaved her way past the attacks, as she then jumped into the air to clash with the Kaiju. "At this moment, Lola's effect banishes the top card of your deck!" Siren yelled. She then pointed out her finger and somehow shot a ray of energy at Troy's deck, causing the top card to flip open. "Now tell me. What's the card?" Siren asked coldly.

"If you're hoping for a monster, then you're going to be disappointed. It's a trap card: Kaiju Capture Mission. Therefore, your monster will receive no attack boost." Troy said, as the card in his hand disappeared.

"That's not exactly true. Lola can activate certain effects based on the card type. Since it was a trap card, Lola can revive any non-extra deck monster from my graveyard, with a level lower than the monster she's attacking. Since your Thunder King Kaiju is level 9, that means I can re-summon the level 5 Nether Husk – Lancer Knight, in attack mode!" Siren declared. Lola then crossed her swords in mid-air, as they emitted a ray of purple energy. The ground in front of Lola began to crack, as Lancer Knight reemerged from the graveyard, and armed himself. "Also, since Lancer Knight is back on my field in attack mode, all my Dark attribute monsters gain an additional 800 attack points. This means that Lola is strong than your Kaiju." Siren yelled.

Nether Husk – Lancer Knight: 1200ATK + 800ATK = 2000ATK

Nightmare Archfiend Tokens: 2000ATK + 800ATK = 2800ATK

Vanguard Revenant – Lola: 2700ATK + 800ATK = 3500ATK

Lancer Knight raised his lance, shining a bright dark light on to the field, empowering the Nightmare tokens, and Lola. Thunder King the fired a three-ray blast of electricity at Lola, but the Revenant only sliced through the electrical breath attack, and continued to shout out her battle cry with vigor and ferocity. She then got close enough to deliver two vertical slashes down the center of the Kaiju, as it then exploded in a glorious explosion.

Troy: 1700LP – 200LP = 1500LP

Troy covered himself from the explosion. "I play the trap card Remove Brainwashing! Now all monsters on the field return to their rightful owners. Jizukiru was originally mine, so he comes back to my side!" Troy yelled.

Remove Brainwashing
[Trap: Continuous]

Remove Brainwashing showed a woman having her mind release from a spell of a headband. The card then sent out a pulse, as Jizukiru now moved back to his master's side. "Fine then! Jizukiru will just be our next target! Let them have it Lola!" Siren yelled.

Lola then began charging towards Jizukiru, and began yelling at the top of her lungs. Jizukiru responded by firing multiple laser beams, which missed and exploded behind her. If the scene was in slow motion, she would've been able to savor the feelings of feeling awesome. "Now, for the third time, the top card of your deck is banished!" Siren yelled. Lola then threw two energy disks at Troy, sending the top card of his deck flying into the sky. It was revealed to be the spell card Interrupted Kaiju Slumber.

"The banished card is a spell card, meaning that Lola deals you 400 points of damage for each one of your face-up banished card. I count a total of three cards, meaning that you take 1200 points of damage!" Siren yelled. Lola then generated three more energy disks on her arms, and threw them at Troy, as they slashed through his body.

1500LP – 1200LP = 300LP

"Even if this attack succeeds, I'll still have 100 life points. Due to my Dark Door, you can only attack with one monster. If I draw a Kaiju on my next turn, I destroy your tokens and you're finished." Troy said.

Siren only wagged her right index finger, and clicked her tongue. "That's if your door stays open. For example, say if a Mystical Space Typhoon came by and swept it away?" Siren asked flipping the last card in her hand.

Mystical Space Typhoon
[Spell: Quick-Play]

The blue cyclone then came out of the card, and destroyed the Dark Door card, putting it out of business. Lola was still on the offensive, as she began spinning her body, like a spinning top, and began cutting across the Kaiju's massive body, defied several laws of physics, causing the Kaiju to explode. Troy only stepped back as he took the damage.

Troy: 300LP – 200LP = 100LP

"There's nothing left on your field to use. No cards in hand. All I need is one more attack, and this victory belongs to me. I'll get stronger from here, and I continue to get stronger, so I can destroy everyone that opposes us." Siren said with seriousness.

Troy only nodded. "Very well. NOW COME AT ME AND STRIKE THE FINAL BLOW!" Troy yelled, as he spread out his arms to accept his defeat.

Siren only nodded. "Nether Husk – Lancer Knight! Attack Troy's life points directly, and end this duel!" Siren yelled, while pointing at Troy.

Lancer Knight then readied his lance, and began running at full speed towards Troy. He then jumped into the air, and aimed his lance with precision, and struck Troy in the chest sending him flying back off of the ground.

Troy: 100LP – 2000LP = 0LP

(End BGM)

Duel Over
Winner: Siren

The field shifted back to the exit hallway. Siren's Nether Bracelet deactivated as the spirits disappeared. The only one who remained was Lola who was panting heavily and yelling a lot. "I AM LOLA! THE DESTROYER OF KAIJUS!" She yelled.

"Take it easy. It's just a card game." Siren said in a deadpanned tone.

"Just living in the moment. Well, I guess I owe Malisha twenty bucks." She said.

"Wait. Her faith in me was only worth twenty dollars?" Siren asked.

"What are you complaining about? I'm the one who lost, so I should be the one complaining. Besides, twenty bucks is a very good sum of money. It could get you at least 75% of anything from the shop. Anyways, I'm going to head back to the Dark Room Dimension. Peace out homie." Lola said. She then disappeared in an instance, heading back from where she came from.

"Well, I guess that's something to gloat about. Wait a minute. Hidou and Shinrai! Where are those two!?" Siren yelled searching the area. She then heard something explode behind her. She then turned around and walked towards the door behind her. Upon opening it, Hidou and Shinrai exiting a door, with sunglasses on their faces.

"Keep moving Shinrai. The most important thing to do in times like these is to never look back at explosions." Hidou said.

"That makes no logical sense at all. Also, why are we wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night? They're useless at this time of day." Shinrai said.

"Shinrai. You really need lessons on how to look awesome, radical and badass. I'll give you a 101 lecture about it." Hidou said. Shinrai only nodded.

Siren walked over to her companions but couldn't help but smile. "You two boys seem to have been busy. So, what's your story?" Siren asked.

"It is an intense story. When Shinrai and I came too, we saw that you were dueling that stupid Metal Man on turn 1, and we heard something behind us. We were going to let you know but Shinrai here dashed off to the other end to check it out." Hidou said.

"No, what really happened was that you said 'sounds like something smash' and then ran off in that direction. I had to run to catch up to you, so I didn't have to time to explain it to Siren. Also, it would be wrong to disturb her duel." Shinrai said.

"Turns out, it was an army of Machina monsters. I felt like a kid at a Candy Store. We also had Jay record the entire fight, from different perspectives. After what seem like countless hours, we emerged out victorious without a scratch!" Hidou boasted.

"There was that one time where you got punched in the stomach and got embedded in the wall. And the time where you got laser blasted into the ceiling." Shinrai said.

Siren was smirking a little, and trying to hold in her laughter. Hidou only looked at Shinrai with an annoyed look. "Stop ruining my moment Shinrai." He said.

"And there was that one time that…" Shinrai was about to say.

"Ok, we're going now! You serious need to know when to keep that big mouth of yours shut." Hidou said, dragging Shinrai off by the collar.

"Don't pull to hard. It might choke me up." Shinrai said, while Jay perched himself on his head. "We'll show you the video when we get back, Siren." He said, waving at her.

Siren only sighed thinking those two were the biggest morons in the world. However, she enjoys hanging out with them a little. Makes the jobs a little livelier. She was about to exit, until she noticed Troy's unconscious body on the ground, and the wound on his chest. For some reason, something told her not to leave him like this. She then walked over to him, and sat him up against a wall. She then took out some first aid from a nearby first aid kit, and treated the wound to ease the pain. Siren was confused on why she did it, as she held her new bracelet tightly. The Grimm are the enemy of humanity, so why help him? She decided to ponder these thoughts later, as she then left the building and headed back to her friends who were waiting for her.

(Spirit World)

Going back to the Spirit World, we find the Revenants exploring the North-East area of the city. Right now, Malisha had a device in her hands, Ashley and Saika were dragging their heels, and Mindy was starting to nodded off, and walk at the same time.

"Are we there yet?" Mindy asked.

"We'll get there when we get there. Now give me time to concentrate. Are you three holding up well back there?" Malisha asked.

"The powernap on the train helped. But I still feel a little beat." Ashley said.

"My feet are killing me. I just want to go to bed." Saika said.

"You two can leave you know. Mindy and I can take care of things here now. Besides, the two of you done quite enough for tonight, so the both of you deserve a well-earned rest." Malisha said.

"Are you kidding me? We're not leaving till this job is done! I'm still…*yawn*…active." Ashley said.

"I for one agree with Ashley. We are comrades in arms, and it would dishonorable to leave in the middle of the fight." Saika said.

Malisha only smiled and sighed. "Alright, fine. You two can come, but on the conditions, that you two won't over exert yourselves. Just leave most of the fighting to me and Mindy." Malisha said, as the two girls nodded.

After another fifteen minutes of walking, Malisha finally stopped at an old torn down high school. "We're here. The Dust readings on this machine have spiked up to the maximum. Good job Mindy. Your deductions were spot on." Malisha said, patting panther faunus on head.

"Y-your welcome." Mindy said, blushing a bit.

The four Revenants then stood infront of the building and continued to stare it down, knowing that the conclusion to this fight was about to come to an end.

"Um…how come we're just standing here looking at the building, and not going inside it?" Saika asked.

"'To build up our awesome prelude to the fight moment. Also, it's because the chapter is about to end, and we'll probably have to wait for a total of two weeks to two months, before the story picks up again. I really hate those "to be continued" type chapter stories." Saika said.

(To be continued.) "I really hate it. Work faster Max!" Saika said in a grumpy tone.

Bonus Section: You can't touch Lola

The scene starts off with Lola and Ashley in the same room, playing a table top version of duel monsters, with Lola currently having herself on the field and Ashley having several cards in hand, and another monster on her field.

"Prepare to be defeated Lola! I activate Soul Exchange, so I can use you as sacrifice for my Saber Beetle!' Ashley yelled.

"In your dreams. I can't be sacrificed by either player for card effects or summons that require tribute." Lola said, gesturing her arms.

Ashley only growled. "Fine then! I'll use Super Polymerization, which lets me use cards on both of our fields, as fusion material! I fuse you and my Elemental HERO Avian, to summon Elemental HERO Escuridao!" Ashley yelled.

"Oh no! I'm doomed, and there's nothing I can do!" Lola yelled, in a dramatic fashion. "Oh wait, I don't have to do anything. I can't be use as extra deck material, for an extra deck monster." Lola said, grinning smugly at Ashley.

Ashley was now gritting her teeth, as Lola was now trolling her at maximum levels. "Alright then. If I can't get rid of you, I'll just take control of you instead! I'll use the spell card Change of Heart to take control of you for one turn!" An angel, with one angelic and demon wing came out of the card and flew over to Lola to take control of her. Lola however slapped the angel across the face, and grabbed her by the collar of her dress, and brought her up to her face. She then spoke in a soft, and quiet voice. "I dare you try that little stunt again. If you do, I'll mess up that cute little face you have there." Lola said. The angel screamed in terror as she then quickly flew back into her card out of fear.

"What the heck?" Ashley said.

"Sorry Ash. But I can't change to the other player's control. I'm literally untouchable, unless that's if you're brave to tango with me. Heh, heh." Lola chuckled in a scary way.

"AHHHHAAHHHHHHH! I HAVE TO BOOK IT OUT OF HERE! STAY AWAY FROM ME YOU DEMON!" Ashley screamed as she fled for her life, and cried out of fear.

"Demon? Isn't that a bit much, even for a Revenant?" Lola asked, as a sweat dropped appeared on her forehead.

Author's Note

I sincerely apologize for taking so long to get this Chapter out. So, here we have the Grimm and Revenant side of the story. Next chapter will go back to the main characters, if you're still wondering about the Grimm Linda, yes there are two Lindas in the story, the next chapter will explain where she's been all this time. On a side note, I would like to dedicate this chapter to souls who lost their lives due to the unreasonable actions and selfish desire of others. Anyways, Siren also participated in her first duel, and her duel disk is based off of the Yugioh Vrains duel disk, with the A.I.s and all. I just like the anime so much that I decided to make the Nether Bracelet for Siren. Now, as for Lola, you guys might say she has the same template for Glow Moss, but hey, to be honest I think her ability is cool overall. Using her means you have to rely on chance to either give her an attack boost, damage your opponents, or re-summon your monsters from the grave. As for the name "Vanguard Revenant", that might be the fact that I also play Cardfight Vanguard. I play a lot of different trading card games, but I mostly prefer Yugioh above all else.

Now, I'm going to be doing something different and give some shout outs to three Yugioh fanfics, because if you haven't heard of them, you should give them a spin. First one is done by Tyrannozaur, author of RWBY: Dawn of Duel Monsters. This takes place in the RWBY verse, with a twist of the Signer dragons and the earthbound immortals. It's very war like, but also puts in duels as well. If you like reading intense and deep story telling this fic is just for you.

The second shout out goes to PaladinJS' fanfic, the author of Yugioh – Duelist in Magix. This is crossover with a main character OC in the Winx universe. It may start off slow in the beginning, but I telling you guys that the duels are entertaining, and characters all have their nice charm. The guy hasn't posted in a while, but he will. If you like Winx and Yugioh, go check it out.

The third shout out goes to SSJC J, the author of CardDimension Neptunia! Let's Duel! His fic is similar to mine as it uses the Neptunia characters as duel monsters instead, and he has his own OCs. His fic has potential and it can go to places. I suggest you guys check it out as well. He just started, so there won't be many chapters.

In other news, I'm also going to be doing a new fic. Not a stupid one, like the Monster Hunter rap battles, (Seriously? What was I thinking at the time?) but another card game fanfic, that is not Yugioh. Whatever trading card game your thinking of, you're most likely wrong, because this card game never got localized to America and stay stuck in Japan. Well it did get localized at one point, but it didn't too well, due to bad advertisement. I have it all planned out, and should be coming out soon. Hopeful within 2 weeks. I'm on break now, but I'm probably going to be playing the Monster Hunter World Beta on Saturday to Monday. That's all for now folks, so if you haven't already, please favorite or follow, and leave a review in the review section and wish all of you a fantastic day. Peace out!
