Yu-Gi-Oh: RWBY Chronicles Chapter 14

Wonder and Dread

(Spirits World: Abandon High School)

This is an old High School that was shut down for certain purposes. Right now, it was being occupied by the 'Dark Soldier' group, as their base of operations. Normally, there would be a couple of guards patrolling the area. As of now, a whole bunch of them were rushing out into the hallways, in an attempt to stop some intruders. They were doing horribly. On the main campus grounds, Ashley was busy punching her foes hard and immobilizing them. Saika just entered a nearby building, as the agony of multiple guards were heard and then silence. Some were wounded gravely, while others got knocked unconscious. Saika then jumped out of the building leaving behind a huge hole in the wall.

"This seems way too easy. Do you think these guys are planning something? You know, the type of plan where they lower our guard, by pretending to get beaten so easily, and then spring a surprise on us?" Ashley asked.

"That is a horrible plan. I mean, if they are really letting us beat them up so horribly, why in the world would someone be willing to get a stab in the gut by one of my swords? Better yet, who would follow a plan that would risk them a guarantee horrible bruising from you, and a horrible cutting from me?" Saika asked. Ashley thought about it as she punched another guard in the face.

"I guess it's either a horrible plan or these guys are just really bad at their jobs." Ashley said, as kicked another guy in the nuts.

"These men are slightly experienced. We're just fueled by Nether energy, which is a powerful source of energy." Saika said, as she created a sword beam, and fired it at an unfortunate group of 'Dark Shadow' guards.

Ashley then focused on sending another guard flying into the sky. He never came back down. "Damn right it is! Nether Juice is awesome!" Ashley said, flexing.

"Please don't say 'Nether Juice'. It's just weird." Saika said switching out her swords.

"C'mon. Nether Juice sounds like a great Dark Spirits Sports Drink." Ashley then began talking in the voice of a commercial advertiser. "Nether Juice! For your daily Dark Energy needs! Get it now for only 19.99 dollars. Call now, and get a free box of Nether Granola Bars!" Ashley said.

"That is just ridiculous, Ashley. No one would pay 19.99 dollars for an energy drink. Anyways, how do you think Malisha and Mindy are holding up?" Saika asked.

Ashley thought about it for a while, while she was spinning around two guards. "I wouldn't worry about them so much. We'll just keep these little guys occupied, while they find the head honcho of this entire operation." Ashley said. She then threw the two 'Shadow Solider' guards at another group, earning herself a strike. "Besides. These guys haven't seen what they can do yet. Oh, I really want to be with them when that happens." Ashley said.

"Just focus on the task on hand for now. We have work to do." Saika said. She then charged off to take down the area in the science building.

"Pfft. Buzz-kill." Ashley jokingly said. She then went off in another direction. The two Revenants may be tired after their last fight. But this was hardly a challenge for them. They were dominating the battlefield.

(Stairs to Underground storage)

While Ashley and Saika were causing their end of destruction up top, Mindy and Malisha were going down a set of stairs that led to the basement.

"Mindy. May I ask why we're going down here? Shouldn't the boss be up above with his troops?" Malisha asked.

"Nope. Crime bosses aren't concerned with the thugs they hire. They follow the saying of 'if it's broken, buy a replacement'. In other words, they'll just use more money to replace the damages." Mindy said. The two continued to walk down for what seemed like an eternity. "If there is one thing they are worried about, it's their treasure, bounty, rewards, and other forms of great worth. That's what they care about the most." Mindy finished.

"I see. In that case, we're tracking down what matters so important to them. The dust crystals. So, why exactly are we going down to a dirty old basement?" Malisha asked brushing off some cobwebs off her shoulder.

At that moment, Mindy and Malisha reached the basement door and entered it. At first glance, nothing looked out of place, but that it looked like a normal, ordinary basement. Mindy saw something else. "Simple. Whenever there's a crime boss involved, there's going to be an underground secret entrance." Mindy said as she began looking around the room.

"Look, Mindy. You're adorable and a nice faunus, but that's only in the mystery books you read." Malisha said.

"And let me tell you something, Malisha. You've just got to, turn your thinking around." Mindy said. She then reached for a nearby screw, twisted it, and inserted her finger into the hole, to push a hidden button. A rumbling sound was then heard, as one wall of the basement began to open up a new path. Malisha only stared in amazement, with her jaw hanging, and Mindy kindly closed it up. "That screw on this wall was out of placement with all of the other screws. I know that because I once took an architecture class back in Vale before I joined Beacon." Mindy said.

Malisha was silent at first. She then formed a smiled and laughed. "You're really are something, Mindy. Come on. We've got an organization to tear down." Malisha said, patting Mindy on the back. Mindy only smiled as she then followed Malisha, who took the lead.

After walking for a little bit longer, the two came across a large room filled with trucks. Down below, 'Shadow Solider' guards were loading the trucks with crates that had a purple glow on the inside. Down below, a man in a black suit with a red necktie was monitoring the goons and barking orders at them. It was the usual 'go faster, or die' and the classic 'let's get a move on. I don't get all day' lines. Mindy and Malisha were then crouching from above.

"So, what's our plan of attack, Malisha? Stick to stealth and take them down one by one without arousing anyone?" Mindy asked.

"Actually, you're going to cover me, while I take them down from above. You don't have to transform if you want. It's your choice." Malisha said. The spellcaster then began to levitate in the air. She created a Black Magic circled and fired a barrage of dark energy from above. The explosions caught the attention of everyone in the room, and Malisha wasn't done yet. She then generated two orbs of dark nether energy in hands, while her eyes glowed with an eerie purple color. She then threw the two orbs from her hands, as they began bouncing off of the walls, colliding with any unfortunate goons who were in the way.

"Don't just stand there! Get her!" the boss yelled. The remaining goons began grabbing Dust Energy guns and began firing at Malisha.

In response, Malisha quickly raised her right hand, stopping all of the bullets in place. She then turned them around and fired them back. Some goons managed to take cover from the barrage, while some got shot in the leg and arms, disabling them. One Shadow Solider was running upstairs to the balcony. He was holding a rocket-launcher and fired it at Malisha. In response to the attack, she quickly moved her right hand to the side and created a little vortex hole, which consumed the rocket. She then created another one, to send the rocket flying back out at the rocket wielder. She then put both palms of her hands together, and slowly separated them as a black staff formed in between. She then threw the staff down to the flow, causing black electricity to shock the ground troops. "Too easy. I'm not even breaking a sweat." She said.

While Malisha was blasting and redirecting attacks, another team was sneaking around and getting Sniper rifles ready to shoot her from behind. As they were taking aim, someone landed behind them.

The Shadow Solider goons saw two red eyes, that had a deadly glare. It was Mindy. Before they could react and fire, Mindy pounced forward and grappled the arm of one goon, and began twisting his body in painful positions. The other goons took aim, but the grappled goon told them not to shoot out of fear for his own life. Mindy then hissed and broke his arm. She then jumped over to another goon, and then the next stunning them for a while with swift punches and kicks. Mindy then clenched her hands and re-opened them to extend her nails, and she made them even sharper than before. "Run, or be broken." Mindy said glaring at them.

Two of the goons took her advice and ran away. However, one of them was wielding an automatic machine gun that took aim at her. Mindy noticed this, and quickly placed herself in a pouncing position, and lunged towards the armed goon. She then quickly attacked him and yanked the machine gun out of his hands. She began tearing apart the machine gun piece by piece until it was nothing but a pile of metal parts. She then noticed an armored thug running towards her. Seeing that his armor was tough, she quickly grabbed a nearby piece of cloth and used it to stun the armored thug by waving the cloth over him. She then began striking the thug with a series of attacks with her sharpen nail-claws. Two goons tried to attack her but were immediately countered attacked. Mindy then went back to her furious barrage of concentrated strikes on the armored thug, and then finished it with an uppercut to the jaw. She then twisted her body in mid-air, as she then jumped on a goon, who was laying on the ground, and punched him in the leg, breaking it. Another Shadow Solider, who was armed with a sword, rushed forward with multiple slashes. Mindy steped back quickly in rhythm to the sword swings and managed to clasp the blade with both of her hands in between. She then pulled the blade towards herself and threw out her fist, which collided with the goon's face, knocking him out. "Is it over yet?" Mindy asked in a shy tone, as she looked around for more danger.

From above from a viewing box, the boss was witnessing a magical girl and an animal girl wrecking his forces. He also got a message telling him a gauntlet girl and a six-sword-style girl were defeating every guard up top. He then resorted to his last resort. He then took out his phone and dialed a number. Release the Violet-Killers, and bring me the Black-Mechs!" The boss said.

"But sir…the Mechs are still in development! Not to mention that the Violet-Killers haven't been through enough testing yet." The man on the other line said.

"I said NOW!" the boss man yelled, as he furiously hung up.

Outside, Malisha surveyed her surroundings seeing that some guards ran, while others laid unconscious on the ground. She then took a deep breath and descended to ground level. Mindy then came running up to her. "I did what you asked me too. I covered you on the ground." Mindy said.

"Good work, Mindy. Now then, have you seen the man pulling the strings in this joint?" Malisha asked.

Just then, the intercom went on. "If you're looking for me, then I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm afraid I'm not available for any meetings." The Bossman said.

"You sound like a businessman. When in reality, you're a leader of a group of terrorists." Malisha said.

"Terrorist is such a strong word. I prefer the word radicals. I believe you're the ones who stop my little message to the world. Those feeble-minded plebeians would have been a perfect example to show our strength, and what would happen to those that dare to oppose us." The boss man said.

Mindy's eyes had an angry look. "So, what? You're just going to kill off innocents just to try and put yourself up top?" Mindy asked.

"Some sacrifices have to be made. Those with power must strike fear in all, in order to gain control." The boss said.

"It's true that in the past that there were rulers who were feared, but also kept a balance between having their subjects fearing them, but respecting them in a way that made them admirable. You just want to use fear for control. It's like how we fear our parents when we were young, but only because they made us fear them to teach us how to act properly. Fear should be used to teach people how to live and survive in the world, and help them move forward by conquering said fear. Not to be used to control the weak for others gain." Malisha said.

"So, that's your ideal. Unfortunately, we don't see eye to eye. In the meantime, after everything you've done, I believe it's appropriate that the two of you will suffer down here." The boss then snapped his fingers. Suddenly, hanger doors inside began to open up. Five gigantic Black mechs, fueled by Dark Dust then stepped out of the hangers, armed with cannons and sharp blades. Suddenly ropes then dropped down from the ceiling as several 'Shadow Soldiers' that looked even more advanced, landed on the ground. They even had canisters on their backs containing Dark Dust.

"Allow me to introduce you to your guides to the afterlife. By the way, those mechs are magic resistant. My Violet Killers are experts in close combats, and these strange crystals enhance their powers by a tenfold. There's no way you'll survive this, no matter what tricks you have." The boss man said, as he chuckled.

"Want to bet on it?" Malisha asked, as she then levitated in the air.

The mechs and killers then charged forward. Mindy then called out to Malisha. "Malisha. I need you to burst that pipe. Also, I'm going to do it." Mindy said, pulling out an arrow-shaped syringe.

"Very well. Just as long as you let me deal with the mechs. I want to see if they're really magic proof." Malisha said smiling confidently.

Mindy only nodded. Malisha then set her sights on the pipe that Mindy pointed towards and fired a dark energy pulse at it. This caused a massive eruption of smoke to emerge from the pipe. At that moment, Mindy had inserted her Syringe into her arm brace and injected the fluid. "Unleash." She said. Her red eyes turned feral, more cat-like and glowed red, as she was then engulfed in a dark black colored energy.

The smoke covered the area. Malisha then flew out and destroyed the ceiling to create a barrier between the mechs and the killers. Now there were two battles; Malisha vs. Magic Resistant Mechs, and Mindy vs. combat effective troops. All enemies were powered by Dark Dust.

(Malisha's Battle)

Malisha was currently hovering in the air, firing streams of magic down at the mechs. Right now, she was trying to conserve her magic supply. However, her attacks seem to barely phase the armored mechs, as they kept firing concentrated rays of energy at her. One attack managed to graze her right arm.

"Darn! I actually felt that. Plus, these things are really magic resistant. Maybe I should play on their level." Malisha said smirking.

She then dived down towards mechs and surrounded herself with Nether energy. The energy took the form of a humanoid giant of nether energy with a sharp head and was just as tall as the mechs. Within the giant nether energy, humanoid was Malisha who appeared to be controlling it. Two of the mechs equipped their blades and moved in for close-range combat, while the others stood from afar and fired their main canons. The Nether Being crossed its arms and blocked the attacks.

"It doesn't matter what you do. Magic based attacks are weak against these mechs. The odds aren't in your favor." The Bossman said.

Malisha then spoke through the gigantic Nether being, but it sounded a bit distorted. "It may be true that magic may not work on these hunks of metal. But that is only if you look at it from a single standpoint. The one thing spellcasters must do is to open and expand their minds to great lengths of creativity." Malisha said.

One of the mechs then brought down their swords and striking the arms of the being. However, Being had no scratches. The mech kept on pushing and adding more force to the arms of the Nether Being but failed to make a dent. The other mech did the same thing but was failing just as badly as the other mech. The long-range mech held its fire to avoid shooting the other mechs. Malisha then smirked as she had the Nether Being step back, causing both of the blade mechs to fall forward. She then kicked the mechs with brute force. On the right arm of the Being, she morphed it into a sharp jagged edge blade. She then stabbed the mech in the chest and had the blade exploded into shard within, destroying it from within.

The other three mechs managed to get up and began to move forward. Malisha then noticed this, and she quickly jumped into the air. She then moved all of the Nether Energy that was surrounding to her foot and turned it into a drill-shape. She then covered it in spikes and performed an aerial kick from above, as the drill on her feet began to spin rapidly. The attack collided with the mechs, instantly turning them into scrap.

"But…magic shouldn't work on those mechs." The boss said sounding shocked.

"While that may be the case, the attacks I used may have been powered by magic, but they also can do physical damage. Magic is also mattered, meaning it takes up space, and if you solidify magic, the opponent may not feel the magic damage, but it will feel the physical impact of it. Even if it has magic resistance, in the end, weak metal is just weak metal." Malisha said.

(Mindy's Battle)

The Violet-Killers drew out their swords while others drew guns, or both at the same time, as they carefully grouped up together, while the smoke surrounded the area. Suddenly, they heard something, as they immediately opened fire at the source of the sound, but they hit nothing. One of the Soldiers suddenly got attacked from behind as he was dragged by his legs into the smoke. The other Violet Killers turned around to see this, as his screams of fear were then silenced instantly. The tension in the air was dreadful and quiet. One of the Violet Killers then stumbled upon the burst pipe and immediately went to repairing, in hopes of clearing out the smoke. When he did, he felt something breathing behind him.

When he turned around, he saw Mindy, but completely different. Mindy had a feral cat-like red eyes. Her body was clad in black-jet armor. The build of her body resembled that of a bipedal Panther covered in black fur, with her arms looking more sleek but muscular. Her legs were on a bend and looked nimble. Even her head gone under dramatic changes, that you couldn't tell her gender. Her head resembled that of a panther's head, but a monstrous version of it. Mindy the let out a panther-like screech at the Violet Killer. The Violet Killer yelled in fear as he began shooting the beast that stood in front of him, but the bullets had no effect, as he was immediately picked up by the leg and tossed around like a rag doll.

The other Violet Killers heard his screams and ran over to their ally's location. When they got there, fear-filled their eyes as they saw Mindy's panther form, holding her victim by the leg and then tossing him around. She then aimed her eyes at the remaining three, and simply dropped the killer she was holding. Right now, her instincts were slowly starting to take over. Mindy shook her head to keep focus and kept thinking about her friends to maintain sanity. She then got into a crouching position and then lunged towards the Violet Killers.

In response, her foes immediately fired back. The bullets only seemed to bounce off her skin and armor. When Mindy got close, she then grabbed one Killer by the throat, lifted him up into the air and then slammed him back down into the ground. She growled at his face to scare him out of his wits. After his hair turned white, she then tossed him to the ceiling and immediately went after another Killer. Her target then pulled out a powered-up sword and charged in for a downward sword attack. Mindy used her sharpened claws to guard, and they were holding up pretty well. She pushed forward, as her increased strength began to overpower the guard.

She was only using one hand to guard, so her other hand was free. Before the Violet Killer noticed, he was immediately slashed across the chest, penetrating his armor. The force was strong enough to cause some internal damage as well, causing the fallen foe to gasp in pain. Mindy saw that the last Killer was shaking in his boots. He took a step back out of fear. Normally, Mindy would tell a person in this situation they can run if they don't want to get hurt.

However, Mindy wasn't exactly herself at the moment. She zeroed in on her prey and became even more aggressive towards the remaining enemy. She then got on both her legs and arms and began running towards her prey. The Violet Killer, quickly switch his guns to a 'rapid-fire' mod and began spraying bullets all over the place to save himself. Some bullets missed, others bounced off her armor and her skin, which was protected by her enhanced aura.

She then jumped into the air and howled, as she then struck the Violet Killer with all of her strength, sending him flying back and bouncing off the hard ground into a pile of debris. Mindy began breathing heavily as she growled even aggressively and then roared with rage. She then eyed the fallen foe and slowly walked towards him, arming herself to deal the final blow. As she raised her arms, a magic circle appeared around her wrist. She struggled to break free of the spell, constantly tugging her right hand to break free. Malisha then appeared in front of her holding up her hand.

"I believe that's enough, Mindy. That bad man has been punished enough. Come on. Be a good girl and change back." Malisha said in a soothing voice.

Mindy's rage slowly subsided as she then got on one knee out of exhaustion. "Here. Let me help you." Malisha said. She then reached for the brace on her right arm and pulled out the syringe and tapped it a couple of times. The braced then shutdown, as a dark black light engulfed Mindy's body, reverting herself back to her normal panther-Faunus body.

"Did I do a good job?" She asked meekly.

"Considering that you trashed your side of the battle and came out unharmed, l will give you an A+. At times, I wished I had some popcorn at some parts of your fight. Unfortunately, I didn't put any in my magic pocket hole. Nice work Min." Malisha said, cheerfully.

"T-thank you. What about the head honcho?" Mindy asked.

"He ran away just as the fight was about to finish. But I wouldn't worry about him. Ashley and Saika got it under wraps." Malisha said.

(Meanwhile)

After witnessing his so-called Black-Mechs and Violet Killers getting wrecked, the boss man decided to make a break for it. He began to drive out of the lot in a truck containing Dark Dust. Just when he was about to drive off with his loot, Ashley then jumped down from above in front of the truck. She then readied herself, and when the truck got close enough, she rammed both her gauntlets into the front of the truck. This then crumpled up the front completely destroying it, causing the boss man to be sent flying out of the window. Saika, who happened to be standing a couple of feet away from the collision, stepped forward and drew her sword. Using her free hand, she then caught the flying boss man by the collar and held her sword to his neck.

"Two options: Surrender and keep your head. Or, resist and try to stop me from staining my blade with your blood. Just a fair warning, your odds of survival are 100% if you don't try to struggle. Plus, struggling with a sharp blade so close to your neck is ill-advised." Saika said. The BossMan saw that both options resulted in him losing the battle, so he might as well stay alive. He then lowered his arms. "Wise move." Saika said. She then flipped her sword to the handle and rammed it into his head subduing him.

Some time passed after the battle was over and the Revenants had finished tying the 'Shadow Soldiers' to several poles across the campus. Right now, the Revenants were grouped up together looking at the trucks filled with Dark Dust, and the crates that were on the ground. They then heard sirens of police cars in the distance.

"Maybe we should of call the cops after we claimed the Dark Dust crystals." Saika said.

"Sorry. It's always important to dial 911 when stuff like this happens." Mindy said.

"Fair enough. So, I guess we can only take what we can grab?" Saika asked.

"I believe so. I don't have enough energy to keep a portal open long enough to get all this Dark Dust transfer to the Dark Dimension until the police get here. Also, I don't have enough room in my pocket dimension to fit all of it in." Malisha said.

"Wait a minute. You can't fit all this in, but you decide to keep a bucket of water in your little portable pocket?" Ashley asked sounding a little ticked off.

"I never thought we would stumble upon a motherload of Dark Dust. Unless any of you three got any ideas to transfer all this Dark Dust to our Dark Dimension, we're only bringing a small amount. I don't want to draw any suspicion." Malisha said.

Ashley then puffed out her chest and had a smirk on her face. "Have no fear. I called for backup. Behold!" Ashley said as she held out her hand in front of her. Nothing happened. Ashley then turned around and snapped her fingers. She then snapped them repeatedly. After that failed, she tried doing a Valkyrie voice, but still nothing.

"Ok. I suppose help is a little bit late. No worries. I suppose that something happened along the way such as a detour, road blockage or…" Suddenly, a dark portal then opened up behind Ashley, as she quickly threw out her arm pretending she timed it right. "Behold!" she yelled.

Out from the portal was none other than the Vanguard Revenant, Lola. She appeared to be in an okay mood. After taking several steps forward, she found herself facing Malisha. Her leader only smiled as she held out her hand, and gave the gesture to give her something. Lola only scoffed, as she then dug through her pocket. She then took out a twenty-dollar bill and slapped it in Malisha's hand.

Malisha only smirked. Lola only got angry at it. "You could at least at a little bit humble about it!" she yelled.

"And you don't have to be such a sore loser about it. Anyways, are you supposed to be the help that Ashley called for?" Malisha asked. She was acting a bit smug about winning the bet.

Lola scoffed again. "Yeah. Alright, fellas! You're up!" she yelled at the portal.

Loud thumps could be heard from the other side of the portal, as the Revenants could feel every vibration. Saika, Mindy, and Malisha were startled by the thumps and were a bit frightened of what was coming out. Ashley and Lola on the other hand were unaffected by it and didn't really seem to mind the thumping. Suddenly, a gigantic being stepped out of the portal. It was a Nether Husk, with a huge skeletal upper torso with spikes on its shoulders. Its legs also had good skeletal support as it was pinned together with braces and nails. Their heads were designed around the shape of an Oni head, the Japanese demon. The Husks glowed purple just like the rest Nether Husks, but these were at least three times their size. They also wore black fur clothing for style.

Soon, more gigantic versions of these Nether Husks came out and began moving in pairs. Pairs of the giant Husks then began to lift the trucks that contained the Dark Dust crystals and then began to make hast back to the portal. More normal-sized Nether Husks then came out and began caring the smaller crates back to the portal.

"Come on, you bones. Those cops will be here any second." Lola commanded.

"YES MA'AM!" the Husks yelled in a distorted voice.

"Quiet! We don't want to be heard!" Lola stammered hoping no one heard their yells.

"Yes ma'am." The Husks said in a quieter voice.

"Better." Lola said, giving all the Husks a thumb up.

Malisha then walked over to her. "Lola. How were you able to create a Nether Husk – Colossus? Better question, how were you able to make Colossi?" Malisha asked.

"The Colossus project was hard for both me and Ash, but we managed. While you guys were busy partying, I was studying some of the text in the library seeing that there were new monsters that operated the way we wanted our Colossi to act. So, I made some gears to mimic and replicate the movements, patterns, and structure of the other artificial monsters of today. Ashley told me to do so. She said that if we move with the times, the future is always in our hands." Lola said.

"A lot can change in five thousand years. Figure that we can borrow some ideas. I mean a lot of inventors did that in the past. The pasta was made by a guy who got the idea from the guy who invented noodles after all." Ashley said.

Malisha didn't really know what to say, as the last Dark Dust crate was shipped out. She could only smile out of the joy of what her friends did for her. "Thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me." Malisha said, holding back some tears.

"Of course, we do! We've been stuck in a rock for 500,000 years telling each other knock-knock jokes, playing old maid, and tons more. So, it would have been ridiculous if we all didn't know each other so well. Now come on. The last one back home is a rotten Revenant!" Ashley yelled as she ran towards the portal.

"I shall be the freshest Revenant at the end of this competition. I shall not lose this battle! Prepare for defeat, Ms. Luna!" Saika yelled.

"Hey! Don't run so fast! I can't keep up! Please, wait!" Mindy yelled as she struggled to keep up with the other two Revenants. It wasn't easy, due to the after-effects of transforming.

Malisha only giggled at the scene, while Lola only rolled her eyes and smiled. Malisha then looked at Lola. "So, what did you think of our little Duelist? Wasn't she a cutie?" Malisha asked.

"I guess. She duels pretty well. Heck, she even did well with a deck she barely even knew how to use and won. Then again, it could be beginner's luck." Lola said.

"You always have to be the harsh one. Don't you?" Malisha asked playfully.

"Hey. Someone has to keep this group together. If all of us are happy and carefree, the next thing you know, we're going to fall apart on the inside." Lola said.

"I suppose you have a point. I can't even recall all of the times where you bailed us out with your strictness." Malisha said.

"Don't mention it. By the way, while that Pink head is good, I'm not sure if we should place our faith in a Grimm. They were our enemies back on Remnant." Lola said.

"True. But here, they are our allies. Although, not everything is what they appear to be on the outside. Sometimes you have to look a bit closer on the inside." Malisha said.

"I hate it when you talk in riddles." Lola said.

"Sorry. It starts to become a habit when you have magical energy coursing through your veins." Malisha said.

"Still hate riddles." Lola said as both she and Malisha disappeared into the portal. Leaving behind nothing, just as the cops pulled in and arrested the organization.

(Anna's Dreamworld)

Going back to our protagonist's side of the story, Anna found herself inside the same deep dark space, where she keeps having strange dreams. She then sensed someone behind her and turned around, to see a dark silhouette. It was the same silhouette she kept seeing all the time. Anna had no idea who this person was or what he or she wanted. Based on the being's appearance, it was much taller than her, and she had the structure of a female. The being then held up its hand and created two cards. Unlike the blank cards Anna received before, a bright light began shining on these cards. The cards then flew to Anna, as she then held out her hands to claim the cards.

"Your spiritual energy is growing, and in turn lets you master more cards. Think of it as leveling up, and learning new skills along the way. These two are very eager to join you, and your energy is high enough to summon them in your duels. If you master them, you will be able to join arms with more comrades in your mission. I wish I could say more, but I'm afraid that this is all the time we have left. Farewell Ms. Yuno. I look forward to the day when we can actually meet, and when you can see my face." The being said.

Anna was about to open her mouth, but a bright light enveloped the room ending the dream.

(Anna's bedroom)

Anna slowly opened her eyes and found herself looking at the ceiling of her room. It was quiet for a moment until all of team RWBY popped up in front of her face.

"Morning girls. You all seem fine today." Anna said as she sat up in her bed. She then let out a big yawn and stretched her arms.

"Morning, Anna! I've got you a glass of milk. It's important for us teenage girls to grow big and strong!" Ruby said being cheerful as ever.

"Come on, Ms. Yuno. We've got better things to do than lay in bed all day. We can't afford to be lazy. But, don't push yourself too much. You've done a lot for us in the past, and we're thankful for it." Weiss said.

"You really have a bad habit of sleeping in. Even if these duels are stressful, sleeping until the late afternoon is going a bit far." Blake said.

"So, rise and shine, Anna! You're getting up whether you like it or not. Besides, we're going to get stronger if we're going to beat that Dan guy." Yang said.

"You're still upset about that?" Blake asked.

"If anyone should be upset, it should be me and Ruby! We were the ones who got struck by a blue energy blast. It really felt painful." Weiss said remembering the pain.

"I think the word 'painful' is an understatement. Crushing feels more appropriate." Ruby said as both she and Weiss sighed and shiver at their past defeat.

"I know that! But I'm not going to sit, stand or float around here when I know someone outclasses me in punching." Yang said, as she still felt salty about the last duel.

Blake then placed her hand on Yang's shoulder. "Calm down for a moment, Yang. We've got a visitor coming today." Blake said.

Blake's last words were what finally got Anna to come to her senses, while she was drinking her glass of milk. "Visitor? Who's coming over here this early in the morning?" Anna asked.

Weiss then decided to enlighten her. "Don't you remember at the hospital? Neos sent us a message telling us that he was sending someone over to study a Dark Dust fragment they found. Try to enhance your memory skills. I'm not a schedule." Weiss said.

"Will do, Weiss. So, when will the person be here?" Anna asked.

"Who knows. It could take a while." Weiss said.

Suddenly, a vortex then appeared out of nowhere in Anna's room. "Or it could be now." Yang said.

The vortex then let out a wave of energy. It caught everyone off guard, causing team RWBY to lose concentrating to float. Ruby then landed on Anna's stomach, causing her gasp in pain, and spill her milk. Weiss landed on the ground and said spilled milk splashed onto her face. Blake managed to land on her feet and stick her landing. Yang acted on pure instinct, and did a flip in the room and landed also on her feet. "Nailed it." However, she accidentally kicked the table in the process during her flip causing some of its contents to get knockdown. "I'll clean that up later."

Ruby was just recently getting up, and she then realized that she was on top of Anna's stomach. Right now, she was having a hard time breathing. "Oh my gosh! Anna! Please wake up! I'm so sorry!" Ruby cried, as she used her semblance to quickly get off of Anna, and tried to help her up.

Anna took a while, but she quickly recovered from her pain. "I'm fine, Ruby. Just give me a moment to catch her breath. By the way, Weiss. Sorry about the milk spill." Anna said. She turned her head to see Weiss, who recently gotten up, with milk all over her face.

"Don't worry about it. No need to complain over spilled milk." Weiss said. Ruby then sped off out of the room and then came back with a towel. Weiss rolled her eyes, but smiled as she accepted the towel.

A being then stepped out of the portal. It was the female Elemental Hero Shadow Mist. She was wearing her black armor on her upper body and waist, with rags attached to the waist armor. She also wore black plated boots and headgear. She had two red eyes with black eyeliner and long black hair. Her mouth wasn't visible, since it was under a gray mouth-mask. She then looked around to see team RWBY, plus Anna, in disarray.

"Well. I see we're all up and ready to start the day." Shadow Mist said. Team RWBY and Anna finally managed to recover from their initial surprise transformation. Shadow Mist then began shaking the hands of every person and greeted them politely. "Good morning, everyone. If you don't already know, I am Elemental HERO Shadow Mist. But call me Misty or Mist. It feels natural to go by that name when I'm not doing work that requires saving the day." Mist said.

"You look so awesome. The armor and the hair look so mysterious. What are your powers?" Ruby asked.

"It's a bit complicated. Let's just say I bring along some armor." Mist said.

"Can you tell me more?" Ruby asked.

Yang then came in to intervene before Ruby went any further with her questioning. "Ruby. I think it's best to save that conversation for another time. If I recall, you have some business with us. It's important that we don't, Mist, out on it." Yang punned.

"Not now, Yang!" Weiss, Blake, and Ruby said in unison. Anna didn't really know what to say, as she was still trying to process what was happening.

"I'm starting to realize that my peaceful mornings are now a thing of the past." Anna said.

Mist chuckled a little. "Quite the jokester you three have there. I suggest that all of you should cherish it. Most people don't realize how much they cherish something until it's gone." Misty said smiling.

"It's nice to meet you Misty. I must say it's quite interesting to have a spirit in my house." Anna said, shaking Misty's hand.

"Few have been lucky, or unlucky depending on the situation, to encounter live duel spirits. I've heard quite of a lot about you Anna Yuno. You're dueling skills are great, but there is always room for improvement, but that's the joy of getting stronger." Misty said.

"Why thank you. That's what my dad says. Anyway, Neos said that you're here for business. I think it's about time we get started." Anna said.

"I agree. Just give me one moment." Misty said. Misty then snapped her fingers and a satchel came flying out of the portal. She began digging through it, looking for the selected item. She then pulled out a strange pod, that had a metal encasing around it. "Thanks, Bubbles." She said. Bubbleman then poked his head out of the portal and smiled, showing his teeth, which sparkled. He also gave a thumb up, before heading back in.

Team RWBY chuckled a bit after seeing that moment, but immediately sensed something sinister. They looked at the container and felt the immense power and raw energy that was inside it. Ruby then looked at Mist and nodded her head to give her permission to open it. In turn, Mist only entered a code and inserted a key into a slot. The pod slowly moved its gears and revealed a Dark Dust crystal encased in a dglass sphere. Ruby and Anna only gulped feeling a little intimidated by the crystal's appearance. Weiss and Blake only maintained a stern expression, staring at the crystal. Yang just whistled.

"Now that's the nastiest looking crystal that I've ever seen." Yang said.

Blake concurred. "My thoughts exactly." She then turned to Shadow Mist. "Is there anything else you can tell us?" she asked.

"Not really. Since it's a foreign power source. I know little about it. What I did find out was that Dark Dust can give any normal Duelist to create real-life duel spirits to command, as well as the ability to use spells and trap abilities. In the hands of Duelist who can already do this, it enhances their powers instead." Mist said.

"About that. We already seen it in action so we already know what it's capable of. It happened a couple of days ago when we were with, Ethan." Anna said, sounding a little unhappy mentioning Ethan's name.

"Is that so? In that case, I'll tell you more info. Apparently, if Dark Dust comes in contact with anyone, if said person or spirit isn't strong enough, this little Ding Dong here will corrupt them. Make them more aggressive, prone to violence, unleash any forms of hatred, or any other form of negative emotions. That's what I've seen based on the person who I got it from. Not to mention it also does things to the mind. Just being near that thing is tempting. I found myself trying to resist the urge. An urge for strength and power." Mist said, shuddering at the memories.

"Um…I'm not sure if I want a Dark Dust Crystal in my bedroom that can make me go rogue." Anna said sounding scared.

"Don't worry Anna! As long as we're around, you have nothing to worry about. That's what buds are for." Ruby said, patting Anna around the shoulder.

"It's like most people say. Power can corrupt. You have a strong will to resist the temptation." Blake said. However, she didn't have to worry about it for anyone in the team, since Ruby's demeanor tended to have a positive effect on her team.

"Well, I always had someone to supervise me at all times. Note of advice, make sure that you have one person examining the crystal, and another supervising the person looking at the crystal." Mist said.

Weiss then went up to Mist and shook her hand. "I want to thank you for taking care of this Dust Crystal. In the wrong hands, improper handling of these Dust Crystals, especially that one, can result in severe consequences." She said.

"Don't mention it. Handling stuff like this is part of my job description. I should also tell you that this type of Dust Crystal has the same type of energy of the Nether World." Mist said.

"As scary as that sounds, we have no idea what it is. Care to fill us in?" Yang asked.

"As the name suggests, the Nether World is a place of the dead and a world of dark energy. Some duels focus on said world, banishing the loser's soul, and body if damages are severe enough, to this nightmare of a realm. It's almost like dying. However, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Apparently, the Darkness Barriers you fight in are only a fraction that Nether Duels offer." Mist said.

This made Anna a bit nervous. "A…fraction?"

"I said not to worry. On the bright side, there is a slight possibility you might actually survive. All you need to do is have high defense stats for both your physical and mental state." Mist said.

"So, you're saying if Anna gets strong both physically and mentally, she might actually survive if she loses, correct?" Weiss asked.

"She might get a couple of broken bones, internal bleeding, lose her deck, and there are tons more horrible consequences. But most duels involving the Nether World take real endurance and high levels of spiritual energy. A weak spirit wouldn't even last five minutes in a place like that. The Grimm that you fought either had weak spiritual energy, they put way too much energy in their barriers, or they took their lives by themselves. However, they'll get stronger with their spiritual energy, so I suggest you do the same. Besides, you shouldn't be losing in the first place. So, instead of training to not avoid losing, you should be training to win!" Mist said.

Yang then flew up to Anna's shoulder and wrapped as much arm around her shoulder. "Don't worry Mist. With us around, Anna will be in tip-top shape in no time." Yang said.

Weiss then looked at Yang with a cautious look. "Let's make sure that we don't break her body in the process, Yang. She's not like us." Weiss said.

Blake was one to disagree with Yang being the worst trainer. "Weiss, I'm not sure if we should be worried about Yang training her. Nora on the other hand, don't get me started." She said.

"I know it's Nora we're talking about, but I have to ask; was that training session really that bad?" Weiss asked.

Ruby only looked frightened. "You have no idea how lucky you are." Ruby said.

Weiss decided not to pursue the line of questioning any further. She then turned to Shadow Mist. "Once again, you have our thanks. Now, I'll answer any questions you have about the Dust Crystals of Remnant." Weiss said.

"Why thank you. Now, where do we begin?" Shadow Mist asked.

"There's no need for explanation. Here. This is all you need." Weiss said, handing her a small book. It was the 'DUST for Dummies and other Inadequate Individuals' pamphlet, hard copy version. "Don't be offended by the title. It's only natural that you'll be clueless and lack information about Dust Crystals. It should have everything you want to know about standard Dust Crystals to give you an idea of what you're working with. Plus, it's an updated version with all types of new information." Weiss said.

"You were carrying that around?" Ruby asked.

"Ruby. I have tons of them. For people like you." Weiss said.

"Now that's just plain mean cold!" Ruby pouted. Anna was snickering a bit since Weiss did have a point.

"And here's one for you, Anna. I suspect you read every page. Don't slack off. The Schnee dust company isn't responsible for any damages due to Dust related incidents. Especially in different dimensions. It's for your own safety if we are to live together." Weiss said holding up a pamphlet to Anna.

Anna looked sheepishly at the pamphlet, while Ruby took her turn to snicker in the background. "Thanks, Weiss. I'll read every page." Anna said, forcing her face into a smile.

"You better. I'll know if you're lying. Isn't that right, Ruby?" Weiss asked her teammate.

"Yeah. She'll know." Ruby said in a depressed tone. Anna and Ruby both sighed, while Blake and Yang spectated the scene.

"Wow. I never Weiss could be both sinister and scary. Usually, she's just cold." Yang said.

"There's a lot we don't know about her. But all we have to know is that she is our friend." Blake said smiling.

Meanwhile, Shadow Mist was skimming the book finding the information helpful. "This is quite the read. Looks like I'm going to be pulling another all-nighter. As thanks for this info, it's only right that I give the five of you this." Shadow Mist said as he dug through her satchel and took out a brief case. "I believe this is yours, Ms. Schnee. Neos picked it up during his last visit with Ozpin." Mist said.

"My Dust Briefcase. Why thank you." Weiss said.

"That's not all." Mist then dug around her satchel and pulled out another container containing a Dark Dust Crystal and several empty canisters. "Your own starting Dark Dust Crystal, and more empty containers just in case you come across anymore." Mist said.

Anna looked stunned by the number of containers that laid on the floor. "Thanks. But, are you sure we should try and hold onto these dust crystals? I may be the duelist of team RWBY, but I'm not sure if I could handle it." Anna said, feeling unsure of herself.

Shadow Mist walked over to Anna and placed her right hand on her left shoulder. "Aw, don't sell yourself out so short. You've done great things to earn the trust of others." Mist said.

"I guess. But I can only help through dueling. Other than that, there really isn't much else I can do. If duels weren't needed, I'm not sure I would be as useful as I am now. All I can do now is a duel and win. No. I must win. I have to win my duels. Only winning can guarantee victory, which is why I'll never give up. Never again." Anna said, clenching her fists.

Team RWBY felt Anna's resolve, but frighten of her tone, as she sounded a bit scary, based on how she worded her sentence. Shadow Mist then tried to lighten the mood, which is quite ironic. "Nah. There are tons you can do. Just being for these four girls is already enough to help." Mist said.

"Yeah! You helped us so much, and even if dueling wasn't a thing, I know you would still try and help me when we first met." Ruby said.

"Despite having no experience in our profession, you have the spirit of a Huntress. Thus, you have my respect, and you defend your pride until the end." Weiss said.

"Dueling may be the way of fighting, but fighting doesn't make define a person. It's their actions. Through your actions, you showed us vigor to protect and to rise up for others. That's all you need to be you." Blake said.

"Plus. You're pretty intense. All you need is to bulk up, learn hand to hand combat, and then you can physically kick butt." Yang said.

Anna looked up and gave off a soft smile. "I guess I have done some good things, but I feel like I can do more than just duel. Dueling may be how I fight, but it isn't enough. I can't be strong just through dueling. But I'm glad to know I am doing something to make a difference." Anna said.

"Well, whatever you want, it's your choice. Just like how it's my choice to leave this with you, whether you like it or not." Mist said.

"Fine with us. Besides, we're trustworthy." Yang said.

"I partially agree with that." Weiss said.

"I'm going to side with Weiss on that one." Blake said.

Ruby and Yang only gave deadpanned looks at their teammates. Shadow Mist only chuckled in response to the scene. "As I said; don't worry so much. The Heroes trust you. I have to get going now. Got to meet up with some new allies. Later girls." Mist said. She then exited through the portal as the group waved goodbye.

Weiss then took the canister containing the Dark Dust and put it away somewhere in the house, where nobody else knew. Just then, Anna's D-Tablet rung. The caller I.D. showed that it was Zack. She then signaled team RWBY that she was going to be outside for a moment. "Zack, are you there?" she responded.

"Hey there Anna! You doing fine today?" Zack asked.

"Well, I did meet another duel spirit right as soon as I woke up. So, I guess I would say an average weird morning." Anna said.

"That's pretty neat. Hold on a moment, please. Okay, Nora. I'll share my pancakes with you, but equal sharing with Jaune, Pyrrha, and Ren, got it? Good. Sorry about that. Mom can't see spirits, so living with team JNPR is a bit complicated." Zack said, sounding a bit tired, just from explaining it.

"I can actually believe that. Your mom is an emotional time bomb, your dad's pretty aggressive, Mia's very smart and cruel, and your other brother is pretty weird. The only thing missing was the Duel Spirits." Anna said.

"Hey! You forgot me! I'm the crazy one of the family, and I'm proud of it!" Zack said.

"That's something only you would be proud of." Anna thought to herself. "So, what is it that you wanted to talk about?" she asked.

"Well, you remember how we lost to Daniel? Actually, better question: you remember how Daniel obliterated us, and Mia was cruel as usual?" Zack asked.

"How could I? Your brother might be a weirdo, but an impressive duelist when at the top of his game." Anna said.

"Don't remind me. I even lost count of the number of times I lost to him. But aside that, he told us that the enemy will get stronger. They're simple words, but strong as well. I mean, think about it! Sooner or later, we might face a Grimm version of Daniel! Or even worse, a brutal Grimm version of Mia!" Zack said.

"Zack. Mia might be a bit brutal, but she still beatable if you play your cards right. But I get what you're saying. In fact, I heard that the Darkness Barrier that the previous Grimm used were weaker versions. In the future, they might inflict more physical and mental damage. That being said, I was told that we should be strengthening our mind and body to make ourselves more resilient to the barriers. In fact, we could even survive a loss and live with only a couple of major injuries." Anna said.

"That's good to hear. However, we're going to win every duel! And I know-how! We're going to train so hard, it will break our bones, and rebuild them back, stronger than ever. It's like they say: 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger'!" Zack exclaimed.

"Okay. Sounds fun, without the bone-breaking business. So, what do you have in mind?" Anna asked.

"One word. Grandma." Zack said.

"You mean Linda Aegis? I get that she runs a Dojo, but how is that going to help out with dueling?" Anna asked.

"Well in the wise words of an anime I watched, and I quote, 'A sound soul, dwells within a sound mind and a sound body'. Also, exercise is important for long healthy life. That's what dad and mom keep saying to me all the time. Grandma said that I, Daniel, and Mia are always welcomed. So, I'm sure that she will be willing to help. You in?" Zack asked.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt to do some exercise routines. I am starting to feel a little bit sluggish lately." Anna said, examining her arms and legs.

"Great! Meet you there! Bye!" Zack said hanging up.

Right when Anna stowed her D-Tablet, an explosion was heard from her room. "Huh!?" She quickly ran back in to find her room in a complete mess. Ruby was sitting in the center looking dizzy, while Blake and Yang were taking cover next to the bed, which was still in fine condition. As for Weiss, she was cover in smog next to Ruby. Team RWBY then noticed that Anna was just standing in the doorway. "Is it okay if I ask what happened?" Anna asked.

Yang then came up with an explanation. "To make a long story short, Ruby literally exploded." Yang said.

"The second time in fact." Weiss said.

"Sorry." Ruby said.

"Well, this has to be an interesting story. How did it happen then?" Anna asked.

Blake then told her. "Nothing to complex. Weiss was lifting up her case but accidentally tripped over a container, causing her to drop her case along with the multiple Dust container, which spilled fire-based dust in Ruby's face. I think you can figure the rest out for yourself." She said.

"So, Ruby became a bomb by sneezing? That's, interesting." Anna said with a dumbfounded face.

"Let's just be glad that there was a little amount of dust in the room. Otherwise, the explosion might have been bigger." Weiss said.

"B-bigger?" Anna squeaked.

"Funny thing is that this is how our friendship started." Ruby said.

"I would prefer a quieter and less explosive beginning." Weiss said.

"You could say it started it off with 'bang'." Yang punned, getting several looks.

"Yang. Please no." Blake said, giving her a stink eye.

Anna nervously chuckled as she remembered what she originally came here for. "By the way, I suggest the four of you get ready. We're heading out." She said. However, she failed to notice a shimmer in her extra deck.

(Topaz District)

Team RWBY and Anna were currently making their way down to the address that Zack sent her by bike. She was expecting to meet Zack up ahead, but instead, he was coming from behind and Mia was with her as well. He had to do some heavy lifting tasks for his mom back at his home, and he pedaled as fast as he can to catch up with Anna. Team JNPR was also with the two siblings as well. After biking a bit, the group then reached their destinations.

"Team RWBY and JNPR! I present to you, the BUSTAR Dojo! Breaks bones and rebuilding them stronger than ever!" Zack said.

Everyone remained silent for a moment until Ren broke it. "Why is the word 'buster' spelled incorrectly?" he asked.

"Grandma fought it looked cool to have her Dojo named after that. She thought it would bring in more customers. Surprisingly, it actually worked." Mia said.

"Um…is the whole bone breaking business just being figurative?" Jaune asked, sounding a bit scared of it.

"Yes and no. It's more like straining your muscles so bad, you can't out of bed without feeling pain. But after the pain goes away, you suddenly feel stronger. It's her secret training style. She calls it to break and build." Mia said.

"That's a strong yet fearful saying." Pyrrha said.

"Well it gets the queen's approval." Nora said, sounding more interested in this Dojo.

"I think the phrase 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' a little too far." Weiss said.

"That's what I said. And grandma made me do a serious training regimen. I couldn't move for three days. But after that, I could run faster than usual." Mia said.

"Isn't that a bit excessive for you? I mean you're only twelve years old." Blake said.

"Oh, don't worry about that. She went easy on me. I was only six years old at the time." Mia said.

"Six? You are a tough cookie." Yang said.

Ruby whispered to Yang. "I wonder if this training is as brutal as Nora's."

"If a six-year-old survived, I think we should be okay." Yang said.

"But we're spirits in this world. We don't have to train. Only Anna, Zack, and Mia." Ren said.

"Then all we can do is hope for there survival." Ruby said.

"You guys are acting like their grandma is some inhumane fighting machine." Anna said.

"We've seen the inhumane before. More accurately, lived with one." Jaune said.

"You said something, Jaune?" Nora asked.

"N-nothing!" he replied.

Pyrrha then whispered to Anna and Mia. "You know, last night, Zack tried to take her on in an arm-wrestling match. It was a one-sided match." She said.

"I can assure the eight of you hunters that our grandma is normal and human as possible." Zack said.

He then opened the doors to the dojo to find the place in a wreck. The floor had some dents, some of the doors were knocked down. Some items were scattered across the ground. The desk that belonged to Linda Aegis, where she would work, had some scratches as well. It was almost as if a mini-tornado swept by and destroyed everything. Everyone was shocked by seeing the torn down area.

"Whoa. This looks crazy. Grandma, are you home!?" Zack yelled.

"You see her place all trashed up, and the first thing that comes out of your mouth is 'are you home'?" Mia asked.

"Well excuse me Ms. Cruelty. It's important to have manners in other households. I don't want to create an uncomfortable setting for others." Zack said.

"You could have fooled me." Weiss said.

"Now's not the time for manners! What if Grandma got kidnapped!" Mia exclaimed.

Team RWBY, JNPR, and Anna had worried look on their faces thinking of that possibility. Zack just had a confused expression. "Really? Do you realize how stupid that sounds? Grandma getting kidnapped? Next thing you're going to be telling me she got beaten up by an angry mob." Zack said in a humorous tone.

"Yeah. That does that sound pretty stupid, now that I hear myself say it." Mia said.

"You guys sure do have a high opinion of your Grandma. She must be quite impressive." Ruby said.

"I bet she isn't scary as my grandma." Nora said.

"Still, she has to be somewhere. But where?" Anna said.

"Now that you mention it, this place looks a little bit different from the last time we were here, and I'm not talking about the damage." Zack said.

"Hmmm. You're right. It does look different. The front lobby is a bit smaller than usual." Mia said. A loud thud was then heard from the door leading to the main dojo. Everyone then ran to the back, with Zack forcefully opening the door. The group then entered a waiting room, with a couple of benches, a jacket holder, and some lockers. There was even a duel disk rack, with several duel disks that had the words rental on them. Taking another good look at the place, there was a big-wide glass window on the wall, next to another door leading elsewhere.

Zack then realized what this was. "No way. Grandma got an Action Field." Zack said.

"And guess what. There's an Action Duel going on right now." Anna said, looking out the window. Everyone then looked outside to see a jungle-environment with two duelists standing in the field. One was an elderly woman around her seventies, dressed in green and white Gi, and two wooden slippers on her feet. She had short gray hair, with hints of black. She had two blue eyes that were focused, while her arms were crossed. However, she was a bit taller than your average elderly woman. This is Linda Hissatsu Aegis: Grandmother of Zack, Mia, and Daniel. The other duelist was a woman who looked around twenty, who had tan skin, wearing a red unbuttoned long-sleeved vest with a white shirt underneath and black jeans. She had long brown and black hair and wore ray-banned sunglasses. A nearby screen showed that the duelist's name was Linda Zenith.

"Huh. They got the same first names. How unexpected." Mia said.

On the field, several monsters were present. On Linda Aegis' side was a giant robot monster, with a black and white main body, and lower body, that didn't have any legs. It had a red core in its chest, two rocket boosters on its back, and a v-shaped head. Its arms were detached and were floating alongside the main body. There also happened to be a gigantic energy ring around its main body. Several screens registered the monster as The Big Saturn. She also has one face-down on the field.

The Big Saturn
[LV: 8] [Attribute: Dark]
[Machine/Effect]
[ATK: 2800] [DEF: 2200]

On Linda Zenith's side of the field, she controlled spellcaster that was clad in purple cloth, wearing black stockings and black high heels. She had short purple hair that went to her shoulders. She also had pale skin, two purple eyes, and a red marking under her right eye. In the middle of her hair, was an engraving that looked like an eye, and bat-shaped wings poking out of the side of her hair. For weaponry, she wielded a magic staff, with a sharp blade on one end and a purple charm on the other. This is Fortune Lady Dark. At this moment, she was level 8 and has 3200 attack and defense points.

Fortune Lady Dark
[LV: 5] [Attribute: Dark]
[Spellcaster/Effect]
[ATK: ?] [DEF: ?]

Fortune Lady Dark (LV: 8): 3200ATK/3200DEF

"Check out the robot! That thing looks like it packs a punch!" Yang said.

"I'm not sure even Atlas can create something that massive." Weiss said.

"The Spellcaster looks cool! She has a blade on her magic staff. Probably for physical combat!" Ruby exclaimed.

"You're definitely not going to get tired of seeing new monsters, are you." Jaune said, smiling.

Pyrrha then noticed something else in the field. There happened to be several duel monster cards scattered around with the letter A on the back. "Why are there so many cards on the ground? Did someone forgot to clean up afterwards?" she asked.

"Maybe we should observe, and then the answer may come to us." Ren said.

Everyone else nodded, while Anna, Zack, and Mia sat anxiously on the bench, watching how the rest of the duel will play out.

Turn ?: Linda Aegis
Linda Zenith: 1200LP vs Linda Aegis: 1600LP
Linda Zenith Hand: 0 vs Linda Aegis Hand: 1

Right now, it was the middle of Linda's main phase. "You've done well Ms. Zenith. For the past two days, we've been at a stalemate with our power. However, I'll settle it right now. I now activate Big Saturn's ability! By paying 1000 life points, and discarding one card from my hand, I increase Saturn's attack points by 1000 for this turn only. SATURN FINAL!" Linda Aegis yelled.

Big Saturn's eyes lit up, as its ring disappeared. The main body then began to open up, exposing more of its core. The arms moved back to its sides, remaining vertical. The rocket boosters rotated and moved to its shoulders, forming a four-spaced missile launcher. The lower parts, also rotated with its thrusters facing forward. The Big Saturn had finished transforming into a massive war canon.

The Big Saturn: 2800ATK + 1000ATK = 3800ATK

Linda Aegis: 1600LP – 1000LP = 600LP

"Impressive Linda. However, one attack from your monster is still isn't enough to guarantee your victory." Linda Zenith said.

"While under normal dueling circumstances, that may be true. But this isn't a normal duel." Linda Aegis said smiling. She then began circling her arms and then pulled them back. She then raised her right arm and slammed the ground. Afterward, a gigantic gust of wind came out of nowhere. The sudden gust of wind caused many of the scattered cards, to fly into the air, as they flew violently in the air. Without looking, Linda Aegis grabbed one of the flying cards. The rest of the cards flew away elsewhere. "Fate is strange. It can be both against and with you. I activate the Action Spell, Critical Hit! Thanks to this card, one monster on my field get to inflict double the damage it normally does! Big Saturn has 3800 attack points, and your Fortuneteller has 3200. This means you take a total of 1200 damage! NOW FIRE! SATURN CANON!" Linda Aegis yelled.

Critical Hit!
[Spell: Action]

Critical Hit showed a stick figure wielding a sword flashing with energy. Linda Zenith only smirked. But she wasn't going to let it end like this. The Big Saturn then charged up its main chest laser and then fired it at the Fortune Lady. However, the spellcaster began flying through the air, dodging the laser, while the laser destroyed the surrounding environment. Everyone watching jaw dropped from the destructive power of the Saturn. Linda Zenith then began running across the field, and her eyes were looking all over the place. She then saw a rock formation with a card at the top.

"Dark! I need a boost please!" Linda Zenith yelled.

The Spellcaster then nodded as she then flew closer to her duelist and picked her up by the arm. She then began lifting her up into the air and began flying her to the rock formation.

"Excellent! Using your monsters to face the terrain's challenges! However, will you be able to make it before your remaining 10 seconds are up?" Linda Aegis asked with a smug look on her face.

The Laser from Big Saturn's chest got closer and closer, causing Zack and Anna to lean forward to much and fall off of the bench. Team RWBY and JNPR were against the window, draw in by all of the action that was going on.

"Ten seconds? That's all the time I need." Linda Zenith said. She then turned to her Duel Monster. "Launch me, NOW!" Linda yelled.

The spellcaster then hurled her duelist as far as she could, and even used a magic circle to increase her velocity. With two seconds to spare, she grabbed the Action Card in the nick of time and activated in Mid-Air.

"I play the Action Spell Extreme Sword! Now my Fortune Lady Dark's attack points increase by 1000! Now I'm back in control of this duel!" Linda Zenith yelled.

"As if I would make it that easy! I play the trap card Solemn Judgement! Now by paying half of my life points, your Action Card has been negated! This victory shall be mine!" Linda Aegis yelled.

Extreme Sword
[Spell: Action]

Solemn Judgement
[Trap: Counter]

Linda Aegis: 600LP – 300LP = 300LP

Extreme Sword showed a sword glowing with energy. Dark clouds then began to gather in the sky, as a flash of lightning appeared from the sky and struck the ground. An old priest with a beard appeared with two angelic-looking women, with blond hair, and they were all wearing togas. The elderly man held up his hand and called forth lightning destroying the Action Card, and then disappeared.

"Respect your elders, or else." Mia said, drinking a cup of water.

"I have one more trick up my sleeve! Go, Mirror Force! Now your attacking monster is destroyed!" Linda Zenith yelled, activating her card in mid-air.

Mirror Force
[Trap: Normal]

A mirror barrier then appeared in front of the magician. The laser then collided with the barrier, absorbing all of the energy. The barrier then shattered, redirecting all of the energy right back at Big Saturn. The rays of energy exploded around Linda Aegis' feet. Linda Aegis then ran to find an action card. She saw one lying on the ground and jumped for it. At the same time, Linda Zenith, who still falling saw a floating Action Card in the air and grabbed it.

"I play the Action Card Mirror Barrier! For this turn only, Big Saturn can't be destroyed by effects!" Linda Aegis yelled, quickly playing the card.

Mirror Barrier
[Spell: Action]

Several clear barriers then appeared around the Big Saturn shielding it from the devastating rays of the Mirror Force card.

"You've got a lucky card. As did I, Ms. Aegis. I play the Action Spell, No Action! An eye for an eye. A negation for a negation." Linda Zenith said.

No Action
[Spell: Action]

The No Action card showed a green letter A getting an X crossed over it. The Mirror Barrier that surrounded Big Saturn shattered, allowing the remaining rays of destruction to penetrate its body, severely damaging it, and it then exploded.

"Arrgh. I activate Big Saturn's other effect! Whenever it's destroyed by an opposing card effect, we both take damage equal to its attack points!" Linda Aegis yelled.

Linda Zenith looked in shock as she saw Big Saturn's core was still on the field and was beeping rapidly until it played a time up beep. The core then exploded causing fire to engulf the entire field, burning down everything in sight. The trees turned to ash, the rocks melted away, and the rivers evaporated, as the two duelists were thrown back with their life points dropping to zero.

Linda Zenith: 1200LP – 2800LP = 0LP

Linda Aegis: 300LP – 2800LP = 0LP

Duel Over
Draw

Anna, Zack, team RWBY and JNPR were really stunned, Ren was neutral stunned, and didn't really know how to process of what just happened. Mia and Ren on the other hand were calmly clapping.

"What a swell battle. Even though we saw one turn of it." She said.

"Indeed, it was." Ren said.

Zack was regaining his sense, as he then rubbed his eyes. He then noticed Anna was still in shock and slapped her on the cheek to bring her back to her senses. "Ow. Thanks. I guess." Anna said, rubbing her cheek.

Both teams were regaining their senses as well.

"And I thought my sneeze today was a big explosion. THAT WAS AMAZING! Your Grandma and the other girl were countering each other! I couldn't take my eyes off of it!" Ruby yelled in excitement.

"What was up with those cards on the ground? Is it against the rules?" Jaune asked.

Weiss then looked upon her scroll and came up with an answer. "Actually Jaune, I was able to connect to their internet service of this world and found a third form of dueling. It's known as an Action Duel. Apparently, it functions as a normal duel, but there are a few additions. A random Field Spell is picked and generated for the duelist to fight on, and Monsters are able to interact with the Duelist. This means that no field spells are allowed to be used during the battle. In addition to the field, several cards are scattered across the field and they are known as Action Cards. During any player's turn, Duelists have one minute to traverse the field and search for these cards and grab them. After that, they either use the card as their own, or the effect triggers upon grabbing it. However, if duelists fail to grab the Action Card during the one-minute mark, and continue to search, it results in an automatic loss. The timer resets after grabbing an Action Card. In short, this form of dueling is one that requires one to be more mobile." Weiss explained.

"Wow. Someone has been doing their homework." Anna said, surprised by Weiss's intellect.

"You can never be too prepared. Knowledge is power, and I'm considered the strongest in that area." Weiss said, boasting.

"She's always first to finish her homework. After that, she studies some more." Blake said.

Everyone chuckled a bit, while Weiss just smiled a bit. After that nice moment, the door leading to the field opened as both Linda Aegis and Linda Zenith stepped out the door, looking rather unhappy. Zack and Mia then ran up to their Grandmother.

"Yo, Grandma! How is it hanging!?" Zack yelled, holding his hand up for a high five.

"Greetings Grandmother. How are you doing today?" Mia asked politely.

"My word. If it isn't Zackery and Mia. I am doing quite well today!" Linda Aegis said, high fiving Zack and then shaking Mia's hand. She then turned to Linda Zenith. "Lin. These are my grandchildren. I have another, but he found his own path and continues to follow it." She said.

"You don't say?" Lin said "I guess I see some hints of similarities between you and these little kids. By the way, your granny and I have the same name. So, call me Lin. I prefer it that name." she said, tipping down her sunglasses. However, Lin then looked up and saw Anna and eight duel spirits. She then realized they were the Huntresses.

"Girl? What's your name?" Lin shouted.

"Its Anna Yuno. It's a pleasure to meet you." She said.

"Likewise. Now then, why don't we all get all caught up with some past events." Lin said. "I better tread with caution. Better pretend I can't see those eight spirits, for now. Don't want to blow my cover as a Grimm. I'm having way too much fun here to have it get spoiled." She thought to herself.

After everyone gathers at the front lobby. Grandma began telling me what has been happening. "You see everyone, Lin here came by a visit and was looking for a challenge. I told her that I mostly offer physical challenges." Linda said.

"So, we did the most sensible thing that anybody would do. We settle it with a brawl, using our fists!" Lin said, thrusting forward her right fist.

"It was an intense battle. Our power levels were evenly matched, and we both fell at the same time out of exhaustion. This went on for a day. I then remembered that I was having an Action Field installed a couple of days ago, and luckily for us, they finished." Linda said.

"So, we decided to settle it with an Action Duel. A test of true skill, agility, patience, and awareness." Lin said.

"But didn't your duel end in a draw? That means the both of you are still even." Anna said.

"That is unfortunate but true. A draw of all things! Fate is strange." Linda said, pondering the facts.

Zack and Mia chuckled a bit. "So, what made you get an Action Field in the first place?" Zack asked.

"Well, I figure that since Dueling is famous around the world, I might as well catch up with the times. So, I decided it was for the dojo's best interest to have an Action Field. I asked your mother to keep it a secret from you two because I wanted it to be a surprise." Linda said smiling.

"Aw geez. You're making us blush." Mia said.

"She's really sweet. You guys must be really thankful." Pyrrha said.

"Of course, we are." Zack said.

"Who are you talking too, Zackery?" Linda asked.

The main group then realized that Linda couldn't see spirits. Zack decided to come clean. "Well, the thing is that I have Duel Spirits." He said.

"Spirits? Now that you mention it, I do sense eight beings in this room. Well, if you see them, I'll believe you regardless." Linda said.

"That was quite reasonable for you. Now let's get caught up to speed." Mia said.

While Mia and Zack were talking to their grandmother, Lin on the other hand kept staring at Anna. "So, this is the infamous Anna Yuno. The Dueling Huntress. Well, that's what the Grimm decided to name her. The ultimate hindrance to our mission, whatever the mission is." Lin thought.

Blake however noticed Lin's stare. "Hey, Anna. Lin's staring at you. And not the friendly way." she said. Anna then looked up to see Lin staring at her.

"Is something the matter, Ms. Zenith? You look really focused." Anna asked.

"I suggest you be careful, Anna. There's something odd about that woman. I just don't what." Weiss said.

Yang then extended her Ember Celicas. "Don't worry, Anna. If she tries anything funny. I smack her upright!" Yang said, smacking her fists together.

"Take it, easy sis. We don't want to wreck the dojo. Besides, it's already a mess. You would just make it messier." Ruby said.

Anna only nodded at her spirits and decided to question Lin. "Ms. Zenith. Is there something wrong? Can you see the spirits we're talking about?" Anna asked.

Lin could see them, but she had to pretend that she couldn't. "Alright, Lin. You've trained yourself. Ok, right now my face hasn't changed expressions yet. The first thing I should do is to look like I wasn't paying attention. "Huh? Oh, sorry dear I wasn't listening there for a moment. Next, I should probably say something to throw her off her scent. She seems to be the easily flustered type. I just couldn't help but notice how cute your little face is." Lin said, giggling a bit.

"W-what? Oh, come on. I'm just your average high school girl in the 9th grade." Anna said flustered.

"You really do look adorable with that face." Yang teased.

"S-shut up, Yang!" Anna said.

"Average? That wouldn't be the last thing I would call you. From what I've heard around these parts of the city, you're the girl with that Huntress deck, and that really isn't average of any high school girl in the 9th grade." Lin said.

"Why thank you, Lin. You're a pretty good duelist from what I've seen so far." Anna said.

"But which one of us is superior?" Lin asked getting up. "I believe I'm safe for now. Might as well have some fun with her, while I'm here."

"Are you, challenging me?" Anna asked.

"I'm a simple duelist, Anna. Whenever I hear of a tough duelist who has cards that have never been heard of, I want to have a piece of it. Better yet, I want to make sure that just because they have strange cards, doesn't mean that they're on top." Lin said.

"OH! This woman is asking for it now!" Yang yelled, smacking her fists together.

"Yang. We don't want to cause a paranormal scene from those horror movies! We're still spirits!" Ruby said, trying to calm her sister down.

Weiss however nodded. "I agree with Yang. Lin is sounding like she is being a little bit arrogant. A little too arrogant for my tastes. What's more, she made me agree with Yang, which is saying something."

"I think you two need to calm down. It's just a little duel. No need to get so heated up." Blake said.

Lin smirked on the inside at Blake's last words and decided to see if she could trigger Anna. "Well, that's unless you want to quit before we even started, but I won't judge." Lin said.

At that moment, Anna's eyes were covered in darkness. She then immediately rose out of her seat and stormed over to Lin.

"Not you to Anna!" Ruby said.

"Now we're talking." Yang said.

"She really hates being told that." Weiss said.

"Am I the only one in this group who's not overreacting?" Blake asked, but nobody responded.

Once Anna got over to Lin, she stared directly at Lin's face, and her right eye glowed. "Give up? Let me tell you something Lin. I don't know what those words mean. But I do know how to emphasize the word 'smackdown' pretty well" Anna said with seething rage.

"I like that fire in your eyes. So, is that a yes to the duel?" Lin asked.

"Heck, yeah, it is." Anna said softly but aggressively at the same time.

"Wow. Anna acts completely different when it comes to dueling. She looks a bit ferocious." Ruby said.

"Actually, I think it has more to do with the fact she doesn't like giving up." Blake said. "It's normal that people might get upset at that, but Anna just purely hates being told that."

"You think there's a reason behind it? I'll believe ya partner. We don't know much about Anna herself." Yang said.

Lin knew she was going to have a good time. She then walked over to the Aegis family to ask for a favor.

Right now, Linda was looking at Zack's deck, looking at the JNPR cards. "Zackery. I'm going, to be honest with you. This deck isn't cut out for competitive play." Linda said, causing Zack to go pale.

"Ouch. Right in the strike zone." Jaune said.

"Yeah. I'm going to agree with Grandma here." Mia said. She then turned to JNPR. No offense guys, your effects are good, but you don't work with the deck composition. Not so surprising considering my brother is the worst deck builder alive." Mia said. Zack got even paler.

Nora just whistle. "Wow. They are not holding back with the criticism. Even Ren wouldn't go that far." She said.

"Unless it has something to do with dancing." Jaune said.

"That reminds me. Have you lost those seven pounds yet, Jaune?" Ren asked in a more aggressive tone again. Jaune tensed up.

Pyrrha looked a bit nervous, hoping that Ren wouldn't bring up the same dance routine. While Zack and Jaune were going pale, Lin then came up to the table.

"Is there something I can do for you, Lin?" Linda asked.

"In fact, there is. I would like to request an action duel with that girl over there." Lin said, pointing over to Anna. "I heard that she's good. And since I heard that, I want to try and crush her." Lin said, sounding a bit intimidating.

Mia tensed up a little. "The word 'crush', is a strong word." She said.

"I like using strong words. They make me feel powerful. So, do I have permission?" Lin asked.

Linda thought about it for a moment, and smile. "I too have heard rumors about this so-called Huntress deck. Seeing it in action might be quite interesting, especially in an action duel. Very well. You have my permission. Come on, Zackery. Quit it with the mopping already." Linda said, as she walked to a control room.

"Yeah. Also, you really need serious training with your deck building skills. The truth is painful, Zack. But it is something we all must accept in life. And the truth you must accept is that you suck at deck building. For now." Mia said, patting Zack on the shoulder.

Jaune was now consoling Zack was slumping in his chair. "Its okay man. I know the feeling. You'll recover. I've been through worse. Much worse. Want a glass of water?" he said.

"Yeah, thanks. My self-esteem will rebuild soon. Much longer than usual." Zack said, slowly sipping his water.

Aw. Cheer up, Zack. It's quite unusual to see you so down." Pyrrha said.

(Action Field)

On the dueling field, Anna was doing a couple of stretches to warm herself up.

"You know, Anna. There are less violent ways to accept duels. You didn't have to storm up to her and look directly at her face." Blake said.

"Sorry about that. You know how I am when somebody even mentions the idea of giving up." Anna said.

"I'm starting to wonder if there's something behind that anger of yours. It's understandable you would get upset, but the way you do it, it's just overreacting." Weiss said.

"Can you tell us the reason, Anna? Why you always get worked up sometimes." Ruby said.

"It's a bit…personal. I'm not really comfortable talking about it right now. Maybe next time." Anna said.

"We understand. There are just some things that just bother us a lot. Just take your time. We'll listen when you're ready. We've had our fair share of secret lives in the past. Isn't that right, Blake?" Weiss said.

Blake only blushed at the mentioning at the memory. "Yeah. We all do. And we learn valuable lessons when we just let it all out. Something I learn from Yang." Blake said.

"Don't mention it, Blake. Just remember that everyone in this team is looking out for each other. That includes you, Anna." Yang said.

"Heh, heh. That's really nice of you girls. I feeling a little better now." Anna said.

"Glad you are, Anna! By the way, how good are at these Action Duels?" Ruby asked.

"Eh. I don't do much Action Dueling, mainly because I more use to standing in place. But I have had my fair share of Action in, well, Action Duels. Duels like these are going to require serious traversal skills. The key to victory in Action Duels is how duelist and monster interact with each other. We're going to need serious coordination skills if we're going to outmaneuver Lin's speed." Anna said.

"Anna. Do you have any idea who you're talking too? We're a team of Huntresses! And if I can lead them into battle against a gigantic killer war robot, a horde of Grimm and school, this will be a cakewalk. We were born this type of action! Time to put Glynda's training exercise to good use, for Duel Monsters!" Ruby said, feeling really confident.

"Yeah! It's a requirement to have a landing strategy in Beacon. So, in case you happen to be in a freefall, just summon one of us and we'll bail you out." Yang said.

"Really? What else can you guys do?" Anna asked.

"Well, with my weapon, I can swing around a gigantic pillar. The ribbon is a lot stronger than it looks. Also, I'm sure my shadow clones can help you out in away." Blake said.

"I'm actually relieved that we are able to apply what we learn at Beacon in this game for once. Most of the time, we're just standing idle and just either attacking when told or letting the attacks hit us." Weiss said.

"Alright then. We're all set! Let's go beyond our limits!" Anna said, clapping her hands together.

"Yeah!" team RWBY cheered in unison.

Zack, Mia, and team JNPR were at the locker area, spectating the match, while Lin just entered the field and was swinging her arms to get ready. She then looked up at a control area. "Hey, Linda! Give us a good field. How about something that's a bit, challenging?" Lin asked.

"Challenging, eh? Very well then. This should be a field that will push both duelists to the limit." Linda said. She then inputted the command into the control panel and selected the field.

Down below, the Solid-Field Vision system activated as it then started to transform the area. A flash of light engulfed the room, and when it died down, Lin and Anna were raised several feet into the air. and found themselves standing on two separate destroyed destroyer class battleships. What's more, is that there even more ships, jets and other debris. What's even stranger is that they were all floating in a strange space dimension.

"Wait. Are we in space!? What's with all the battleships?" Weiss asked.

"It has a grim feeling to it. The destruction in this area looks eerie." Blake said.

Linda's voice was then heard on the microphone. "Welcome to Sargasso. The Different Dimension Battlefield. This field spell won't hinder your decks, considering the both of you don't use XYZ monsters. However, in an Action Duel, this layout should prove to be, interesting." She explained while chuckling.

"Anna? Remember how I said that we train for stuff like this? Well, I hate to admit it, but fighting in different space dimensions with battleships is a first for team RWBY." Ruby said, feeling less confident.

"Don't sweat, Rube. It's the first time for all of us. But we'll manage. Maybe." Anna said.

"Maybe?" Weiss questioned.

Anna took a deep breath and faced Lin, who was reading her duel disk. Both players then walked over to each other and shuffled each other's decks, and then headed back to their original positions. Lin jumped over the wreckage to avoid falling. An orb of light then generated in the sky, and several Action cards were generated at random within the orb. Linda then started off the duel.

"ACTION….!"

"DUEL!" Both players yelled.

The orb in the sky then exploded, scattering multiple action cards across the field.

Turn 1: Anna Yuno
Anna Yuno: 4000LP vs Lin Zenith: 4000LP
Anna Yuno Hand: 5 vs Lin Zenith Hand: 5

"I'm up first. I'll play one monster in face-down defense position, and play the spell card, Shard of Greed. That's all. But trust me, there will be more." Anna said.

Shard of Greed
[Spell: Continuous]

Turn 2: Lin Zenith
Anna Yuno: 4000LP vs Lin Zenith: 4000LP
Anna Yuno Hand: 3 vs Lin Zenith Hand: 5+1

"I want to see more of what this girl is made up. To do that, I need to push some of her buttons. Well, if you're not going to start off strong I might as get ahead while I can! Draw! First, I'll summon Fortune Lady Light in attack mode! My ladies are quite interesting. For each level they have, they gain attack and defense power, and their levels increase by one during my Standby Phases." Lin explained.

Fortune Lady Light
[LV: 1] [Attribute: Light]
[Spellcaster/Effect]
[ATK: ?] [DEF: ?]

Fortune Lady Light: 200ATK/DEF

A spellcaster wearing yellow cloth and a black leotard emerged. She had pale skin, two orange eyes, short yellow hair, and wielded the same weapon as Fortune Lady Dark, only it had a yellow charm.

"Next, I play the Spell Card, Dimensionhole! This card banishes one monster on my side of the field until my next Standby Phase. I'm banishing my own Fortune Lady Light." Lin declared.

Dimensionhole
[Spell: Normal]

Behind Fortune Lady Light, a hole appeared behind, and sucked her up, leaving no trace of her behind. Anna, and team RWBY were on guard since they knew Lin was up to something.

"Banishing Light is a good thing for me. By doing so, her effect activates. Whenever she leaves the field via card effect, regardless of where she ends up, she lets me introduce my opponent to one of her friends from my deck. You remember Fortune Lady Dark, right? It's quite fitting for Dark to come after Light." Lin said, summoning her card.

Fortune Lady Dark (LV 5): 2000ATK/DEF

Dark spellcaster then reappeared on her field, wielding her staff in a combat position. "If you think she's bad news, she was only the first page of the paper. I play Fortune's Future! By returning the banished Fortune Lady Light back to my graveyard, I'm allowed to draw two cards from my deck." Lin said.

Fortune's Future
[Spell: Normal]

Fortune's Future showed a red Fortune Lady conjuring two cards of light. Fortune Lady Light then appeared in an astral form, as she then generated two rays of light which entered Lin's disk, allowing her to draw, before vanishing.

"She was able to summon a powerful monster and conserve her hand at the same time. Be careful Anna. She may be more strategic than we thought." Weiss said.

"Right. I'll be on my best guard." Anna replied.

"I appreciate the flattery. However, it won't win you the duel. Time for a glorious battle! Fortune Lady Dark! Set your sights on the monster who wishes to hide!" Lin declared. Fortune Lady Dark then flew over to the card. "Now let's see if I can spice things up a little," Lin said. She then looked around and saw an action card floating high in the air. "Bingo." She then jumped into the air and used the floating debris to reach it.

"I better get a move on too." Anna said, as she too began running, while team RWBY followed. Her eyes scanned the area for anything she could use. Eventually, she found a card on another battleship. She then began running even faster and jumped towards the ledge, barely missing it. She began waving her arms around to find balance and eventually did. She then continued running to the card.

Lin was still jumping from rock to rock, and was the first to grab her card, and activated it in mid-air. "How fortunate for me. I play the Action Spell, Flame Surge! For this turn only, Fortune Lady Dark gains 400 extra attack points!" Lin yelled.

Flame Surge
[Spell: Action]

Fortune Lady Dark: 2000ATK + 400ATK = 2400ATK

Anna managed to get to her card in time but grunted since the effects wouldn't help out right now. The face-down card flipped opened, to reveal a woman, wearing a black armor vest, dark grey combat jeans, and black gloves. She had long black hair and white skin. Her face was entirely concealed by a black garb that covered her face and was wearing a red lens night vision goggles.

Scout Huntress – Stella
[LV: 3] [Attribute: Dark]
[Warrior/Flip/Effect]
[ATK: 500] [DEF: 1800]

The Huntress known as Stella braced herself for the impact. Fortune Lady Dark, now had her staff set ablaze and fired a combination of fire and dark energy, hitting her target which then exploded. Anna covered her arms and then recovered.

"I activate Scout Huntress – Stella's Flip effect! I excavate the top two cards of my deck, and add one of them to my hand." Anna drew two cards, and they were revealed to everyone, one being Apprentice Mage Huntress – Lucy, and the second being Tribute to the Doom. "After that, I add one of the revealed cards to my hand and send the other back to the deck, and re-shuffle. I'll add Apprentice Mage Huntress – Lucy to my hand." Anna said adding said card to hand, while the spell re-entered her deck.

However, the flames around Anna's feet began to spread and immediately jumped at her. "Flame Surge has one more effect. Whenever the powered-up monster destroys a monster in defense mode, you take damage equal to its defense points." Lin said.

Fortune Lady Dark then raised her staff and commanded the flames on the ground to strike Anna, burning her with all their might. Anna slid back and felt a bit burnt.

Anna Yuno: 4000LP – 1800LP = 2200LP

"I can take the heat. Plus, Stella has one more effect. If she's sent from the field to the graveyard, I can special summon one Huntress monster from my hand with 2000 or fewer attack points. Appear! Lancer Huntress – Nella!" Anna declared. The Blue armor huntress then appeared on the field, as she spun her lance, and aimed at Fortune Lady Dark.

Lancer Huntress – Nella
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Earth]
[Warrior/Effect]
[ATK: 1900] [DEF: 500]

"I guess that's enough damage for one turn. I'll play two face-downs for good measure and end my turn. Now then, care to do more on your next turn, Anna?" Lin asked.

Fortune Lady Dark: 2400ATK – 400ATK = 2000ATK

Turn 3: Anna Yuno
Anna Yuno: 2200LP vs Lin Zenith: 4000LP
Anna Yuno Hand: 4+1 vs Lin Zenith Hand: 3

"Oh, that woman is really asking for it! Anna, if you manage to summon me, I promise you that this fist is going into her face!" Yang yelled.

"I'll keep that in mind, Yang. Time to show her who's boss." Anna said as she drew her card. Her Shard of Greed then gained a counter.

Shard of Greed: 1 Greed Counter

"You two really need to calm down." Blake said.

"I think we should just let them vent out their steam. I lived with Yang long enough to know that it's best to leave her alone when she's enraged." Ruby said.

Anna then continued her turn. "Let's start things off nicely! You're up first, Blake!" Anna yelled playing her card.

"Very well then. You can count on me." Blake said, entering the field.

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

"Since I control a RWBY-Soul card to my field, I summon Apprentice Mage Huntress – Lucy from my hand in attack mode!" Anna declared. As the little mage Huntress, in training, appeared.

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

"Since Lucy was summoned by her own effect, I'll increase her level by Blake's amount, and I must perform an immediate Synchro Summon! Now, I tune level 2, Blake Belladonna, with level 3 Apprentice Mage!" Anna declared. Lucy then opened her tome, creating a green rob, that surrounded herself and Blake. Two green rings appeared around the orb and began spinning around it rapidly.

Apprentice Mage Huntress – Lucy: LV 1 + LV 2 = LV 3

2 + 3 = 5

"Descend the Black Beast! Fight to protect the world from cruel tyranny! I Synchro Summon! Arise, Black Shadow Huntress – Blake Belladonna!" Anna chanted.

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

The orb then shattered, as Blake then emerged from it and landed on the field. She then armed herself with her Gambol Shroud. Lin was intrigued by this and was watching closely.

"Blake's tuner effect allows me to summon a Shadow Token in defense position whenever she's used for a Synchro summon of a Huntress Monster. Next, Nella's effect activates! I decrease Fortune Lady Dark's attack points by 800 and it's level by 1! In addition, losing a level for her, also means she's weakened. Seal Strike!" Anna yelled. Nella then raised her lance and shot a bolt of lightning at Fortune Lady Dark, weakening her severely. Lin only smirked at the ferocity that Anna was showing.

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

Fortune Lady Dark: Level (5 – 1 = 4)
2000ATK – 400ATK – 800ATK = 800ATK
2000ATK – 400ATK = 1600DEF

"The main attack! Charge in there, Nella!" Anna yelled.

Nella then readied her Lance and began running towards the Spellcaster. Lin however didn't move and stood in place. Nella then jumped on the floating debris to reach her target and then spun her lance in a circular motion, landing multiple strikes on Fortune Lady Dark, destroying her. The explosion caused Lin to sent flying off the debris she was standing on. In response to this, she then managed to recover and landed safely on the ground.

Lin Zenith: 4000LP – 1100LP = 2900LP

"Now that's more like it! I like the fiery passion you have. However, I wonder how long it will last." Lin said.

"It's going to be raging for a while. So, I suggest you try and find a way to cool down a bit." Anna said.

"Thanks for the advice. The best way for me to cool off is to use a trap. In fact, why don't I use two? First, I play Inherited Fortune! Whenever one of my Fortune Ladies is destroyed, this card allows me to summon two more of them from my hand during my next Standby phase. The next trap I'll play is Time Machine. This trap can go back in time and revive the destroyed monster before it was destroyed." Lin said.

Inherited Fortune
[Trap: Normal]

Time Machine
[Trap: Normal]

Inherited Fortune showed Fortune Lady Light calling forth a pillar of light, as Fortune Lady Earth and Wind appeared to her aide. The gigantic time machine then appeared as it then opens allowing Fortune Lady Dark to re-enter the fight.

"No problem! Time for action, Blake!" Anna yelled. Blake only nodded and ran forward. "Next, I'm using the Action Spell I picked up a turn ago! Extreme Sword! This card raises Blake's attack strength by 1000!" Anna said, feeling determined.

Extreme Sword
[Spell: Action]

Black Shadow Huntress – Blake Belladonna: 1900ATK + 1000ATK = 2900ATK

Blake's Gambol Shroud then glowed with energy, imbuing it with power. Both she and Fortune Lady Dark began clashing their weapons against each other. Lin's eyes only narrowed, and her smile widen. She was then on the move again, going for another Action Card that was a bit far away.

"Why is she going for that card? It's too far away to reach under the one-minute time limit." Anna thought.

Lin then looked at Fortune Lady Dark who only nodded her head. She then pushed off Black and blasted a ray of dark energy at her own duelist. Everyone was shocked by seeing this. The energy collided with some debris that was next to Lin, causing an explosion that sent her flying. However, it sent her flying in the direction of the card, allowing her to snatch it in time.

"I activate the Action Spell, Evasion! Your attack is hereby negated! Too bad, so sad." Lin mocked. That made Yang even angrier. Blake then went in for the finishing blow, but missed as Fortune Lady Dark phased out of the attack and both monsters went back to their respective sides.

Evasion
[Spell: Action]

Team JNPR was stun as well. "Impressive. She used the force of her own monster's explosion to propel herself towards the card. It was really creative." Ren said.

"You don't have to sound too impressed." Jaune said.

"If you ask me, that Action Card was pretty cheap." Nora said.

"We might be using that card, Nora. Don't sell it out short." Pyrrha said.

"It's still cheap." Nora said in response.

"This woman is tough to beat. She's quite persistent." Mia said.

"Reminds me of someone else." Zack said, glaring at his sister.

Anna only stared intensely at Lin knowing she was in for a tough time. "I play two cards face-down and end my turn." Anna said.

Black Shadow Huntress – Blake Belladonna: 2900ATK – 1000ATK = 1900ATK

Turn 4: Lin Zenith
Anna Yuno: 2200LP vs Lin Zenith: 2900LP
Anna Yuno Hand: 0 vs Lin Zenith Hand: 3 + 1

"Fine then. My move now. Draw! Due to the effect of my trap card, I can summon two Fortune Ladies from my hand! Fortune seems to favor me, and I have both Fortune Ladies Earth and Water to thank for it! Not to mention Dark goes up a level." Lin said, summoning her monsters.

Fortune Lady Water
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Water]
[Spellcaster/Effect]
[ATK: ?] [DEF: ?]

Fortune Lady Water (LV 4): 1200ATK/DEF

Fortune Lady Earth
[LV: 6] [Attribute: Earth]
[Spellcaster/Effect]
[ATK: ?] [DEF: ?]

Fortune Lady Earth (LV 6): 2400ATK/DEF

Fortune Lady Dark (LV 5 + LV 1 = LV 6): 2000ATK/DEF + 400ATK/DEF = 2400ATK/DEF

While Fortune Lady Dark powered up, the orb of light that was seen earlier exploded, as two Fortune Ladies appeared in it's placed. Water wore silk blue robes, and had blue long hair, while Earth wore brown magician robes, and wore round glasses.

"Now then, before I continue, since Water was special summoned, and I have another Fortune Lady on my field, I'm allowed to draw two cards from my deck." Lin said.

"Too bad we don't have Talisman of Reversal. We could have drawn a lot more cards." Ruby said.

"Ruby! Be quiet! She might hear us!" Weiss yelled.

"But she can't see us." Ruby said.

"We don't know if she can or not! She never said it." Weiss said in anger.

"Oooooohhhhh." Ruby said, realizing it.

"How amusing these five are. I wonder if I should let them know I can see them. I'm sure telling them that I can see them won't blow my cover as a Grimm. Besides, just as long as I don't unmask my Grimm aura, I should be fine. Plus, I might get a funny reaction out of the white-haired one. Well, I guess I might as well stop pretending." Quite the kindred spirits you have there, Yuno." Lin said.

"You can see them? How come you didn't say anything before?" Anna asked.

"Because I was enjoying their little comedy routine. I was really cute." Lin said in a carefree tone.

This caused Weiss's face to turn red. "C-c-comedy routine!?" she yelled.

"Uh oh." Ruby said.

"I think her Ice Queen switch got turned on." Yang said.

"Listen you! I'm an heir to the Schnee family and a skilled Huntress! Not some punchline for a stupid joke!" she yelled.

"Actually, Weiss. You sort of…" Ruby didn't finish her sentence, as she got a threatening glare from Weiss, as she took out Myrtenaster, and set it to the flame dust. "S-sorry. I'll be quiet now." She said as she backed away.

"SHOW NO MERCY, ANNA! GET ME IN THERE, NOW!" Weiss yelled.

"Back off Weiss! I was the first line!" Yang yelled, pushing Weiss.

"I'm not going to stand around and let that woman insult me! So, I'm going first!" Weiss yelled.

"Don't worry girls. You'll get your chance." Anna said, sounding a bit aggressive.

"You guys really need to calm down. Anna gets really competitive when she duels. It's a huge contrast to her quiet personality." Blake said, as her words fell on deaf ears, clogged with bickering. Ruby tried to stay out of it. Lin was trying to contain her laughter, but failing horribly at it.

"I've got to continue my turn before I die of laughter. I, I, hahahaha, I summon Fortune Lady Wi-pfft, Wind from my hand in attack mode. Hahaha. I'm sorry, I can't help it. This is just too good." Lin laughed, while she summoned her card.

Fortune Lady Wind
[LV: 3] [Attribute: Wind]
[Spellcaster/Effect]
[ATK: ?] [DEF: ?]

Fortune Lady Wind (LV 3): 900ATK/DEF

A gust of wind then appeared on Anna's field as another Fortune Lady appeared, with green hair, and wearing green robes appeared. "Whenever Wind is normal summoned to my field, I can destroy as many Spell and trap cards as I want, equivalent to the number of Fortune Ladies I control. Seeing as I have four in total, it's vamoosed to all of your spells and traps." Lin said.

"Hold it! I chain Huntress Aura! Now, none of my Huntress monsters can't be destroyed by battle or card effects, for this turn." Anna said.

Huntress Aura
[Trap: Normal]

Fortune Lady Wind then waved her staff in the air, and drew power from her allies. She then conjured a tornado, which destroyed the Shard of Greed, and Negate Attack. Zack just jaw dropped after seeing every card Anna had been destroyed.

"Ouch. That's had to sting. Probably had a bitter taste to it too." Zack said.

Jaune began smacking his lips. "You know what's weird? I can actually taste the bitterness. It tastes horrible." He said.

"It also feels a bit painful." Pyrrha said.

Anna only gritted her teeth after seeing every spell and trap she had got destroyed, while Yang got even madder. Lin only chuckled. "If you think that's bad, I'm going to try and throw an Action Card into the mix." Lin said. She then spotted one lying on the ground and picked it up. "Perfect. I play the Action Spell, Zero Penalty! Now Blake's attack points are reduced to zero!" Lin declared.

Zero Penalty
[Spell: Action]

Black Shadow Huntress – Blake Belladonna: 1900ATK – 1900ATK = 0ATK

Zero Penalty showed a zero with an X behind it. A red aura glowed around Blake, forcing her to get on one knee.

"My body feels so weak." Blake said as she began breathing heavily.

"I now equip the Spell Card Wonder Wand to Fortune Lady Wind to give her a 500-attack point boost. I may not be able to destroy any of your monsters, but I can still inflict the damage, and one attack from either Dark or Earth is enough to end you. Fortune Lady Earth! Bury her!" Lin yelled, sounding vicious.

Wonder Wand
[Spell: Equip]

Fortune Lady Wind: 900ATK + 500ATK = 1400ATK

While Wind gained a new wand, Fortune Lady Earth then began charging towards Blake, threatening to end the duel. Anna scanned the area as fast as she could find any Action Card. She then saw one hanging from the ledge of the battlefield she was on. She immediately began running towards it. However, once she reached it, the card slipped off the edge and fell downward into the purple abyss of space. Seeing that the Brown Spellcaster was getting closer, she only thought of one thing.

"Blake! Get ready to grab me!" Anna yelled.

"What?" Blake responded.

Anna then closed her eyes and then jumped off the ledge. Team RWBY, JNPR, Zack, and Mia all gasped at this. Jaune and Zack fainted afterward. Linda only squinted her eyes out of interest, while Lin replied with a "wow". Blake on the other hand recalled Anna's last words and knew what she meant. Using her remaining strength, she began running towards the same ledge and jumped off as well. She then turned around and flung the blade end of her Gambol Shroud into the sediment of the Battleship. Ruby, Weiss, and Yang looked over the ledge in suspense. As for Anna, she continued to dive after the card. Once she got close enough, she then reached out to her and tried to grab the card. It slipped from her hand a couple of times, but she eventually grabbed it.

"I play the Action Spell, Quick Thinking! This card can change the battle modes of any monster on my field. I switch Blake from attack to defense mode! With 2400 defense points, neither monster is destroyed, and none of us takes damage." Anna yelled. Quick Thinking showed a stick figure getting a jolt through his head as if his pure instinct kicked in.

Quick Thinking
[Spell: Action]

At the same time, Blake managed to swing down below and grabbed Anna by the wrist right before she touched the bottom of the field. Fortune Lady Earth then finally caught up to them. Seeing this, Blake threw Anna onto a nearby floating broken fighter jet and parried the Fortune Lady in mid-air. She then used a Shadow Clone to get out of the stalemate and landed next to Anna. Blake then turned to Anna and she did not look happy.

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!? YOU COULD'VE DIED!" Blake yelled. She then realized that this was only a card game, and death would probably have been prevented. "Allow me to reword that. YOU MADE ME THINK THAT YOU WOULD'VE DIED!" Blake yelled.

"I'm sorry, Blake! Jumping after the card was the only thing that came to my head. But, thanks for the save." Anna said.

Blake only let out a sigh. "I forgive you. Just don't do anything that reckless without our consent." Blake said smiling.

The rest of team RWBY then came down along with Nella and the token.

"THAT WAS SO AWESOME, ANNA! You just jumped down there, and grabbed the card! I think my heart skipped a beat!" Ruby said.

"Don't encourage her, Ruby. We already have enough reckless teammates, and I don't want another." Weiss said.

"Oh, come on, Weiss. You can at least sound impressed. It took a lot of guts to make that jump." Yang said.

"That's a lot of guts for just one card," Weiss said.

Anna only chuckled a bit and smiled nervously. She then noticed Lin looking down from above. "Now that was a neat stunt you pulled there. You're a good fit for your spirits. However, my battle phase isn't over yet. I attack Lancer Huntress – Nella with Fortune Lady Dark. she yelled.

The Dark Fortune Lady then charged towards Nella, as the two clashed with their weapons. Anna then noticed an Action Card next to her feet and picked it up, and was happy with it.

"I play the Action Spell, Destruction Rewind! If a spell or trap card I controlled was destroyed this turn, I can bring it back in the same condition it was in before it was destroyed. I'm bringing back the Shard of Greed card that you destroyed earlier." Anna declared, playing the card.

Destruction Rewind
[Action: Spell]

Shard of Greed: 1 Greed Counter

Destruction Rewind showed a stick figure holding a remote control, pressing the rewind button. The Action Card then had static appeared on it, as shards began to reassemble into the Shard of Greed card. However, this didn't stop the attack, as Fortune Lady Dark pushed off Nella and blasted her with dark magic. Fortunately for her, she survived due to the 'Huntress Aura' trap card.

Anna Yuno: 2200LP – 500LP = 1700LP

"I activate Wonder Wand's effect. By sending the Equip Monster and the spell to the graveyard, I can draw two cards." Lin said as Fortune Lady Wind disappeared. "I'll place three cards face down and end my turn." Lin said.

Zack, who just recovered, was now ranting. "Are you kidding me! This woman keeps drawing so many cards! Is she like some living Pot of Greed?" he said, scratching his head.

"Yeah! Anna is just stuck with zero cards! That's an unfair advantage for her!" Nora yelled.

"Don't worry too much, guys. Anna can draw just as much if she gets the right cards." Pyrrha said, smiling knowing Anna would manage to turn it around.

Turn: 5
Anna Yuno: 1700LP vs Lin Zenith: 2900LP
Anna Yuno Hand: 0+1 vs Lin Zenith Hand: 1

"My move now! I draw! Now my Shard of Greed card gains a counter. I'll then send it to the graveyard to draw two. While I'm at it, I'll also play Pot of Greed to draw two more." Anna said drawing four extra cards.

Shard of Greed: 2 Counters

Pot of Greed
[Spell: Normal]

"Since I control a Huntress monster, it's your turn Yang. Time to shine!" Anna said, special summoning Yang's tuner card.

"Finally! It's been a while since I've seen some action." Yang said as she jumped to the field.

RWBY-Soul Yang Xiao Long
[LV: 1] [Attribute: Fire]
[Warrior/Tuner/Effect]
[ATK: 500] [DEF: 500]

"Next, I normal summon Aerial Recon Huntress – Amelia to my field in attack mode!" Anna declared, summoning the flying Huntress.

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

"All of the summoning requirements have been fulfilled. I now tune level 1 Yang, with level 4 Nella, and with level 3 Amelia!" Anna yelled.

Yang then propelled herself into the air and turned into one single green ring and surrounded Amelia and Nella.

1 + 3 + 4 = 8

"Great burning soul that rampages in battle! Ignite the path to victory! I Synchro Summon Yellow Flame Huntress – Yang Xiao Long! Fire up in attack mode!" Anna chanted.

Yellow Flame Huntress – Yang Xiao Long
[LV: 8] [Attribute: Fire]
[Warrior/Synchro/Effect]
[ATK: 2800] [DEF: 1900]

From a pillar of light, Yang landed on the small fighter jet. This caused it to bounce a little causing everyone to be thrown off balance for a while. After the jet stop bouncing, Yang went back to posing and smashed her fist together, as her hair emitted small sparks of fire.

"I could use Blake's effect to try and weaken her monsters, but that won't be enough to win. Plus, with those three face-downs, her defense is solid. For now, I'll just send you in, for now, Yang." Anna said.

"Heh. Whatever works for you and me." Yang said as she cracked her knuckles.

"Alright then! Yang! Attack Fortune Lady Earth! Burning Rush!" Anna yelled while pointing her finger dramatically at the spellcaster.

"I've been waiting for this for a long time!" Yang yelled. She then began jumping from rock to ship, to jet, and so forth to reach her target. She then jumped up into the air, getting above the Fortune ladies. She then aimed her shot at one of Lin's spell/trap cards and destroyed it. The card was Mirror Force.

Mirror Force
[Trap: Normal]

Lin only looked impressed. "Nice pick. It's a good thing I have a back-up trap! Gagagashield! Despite the silly name, Gagagashield equips to Fortune Lady Earth and prevents destruction twice per turn. Besides. 400 life points isn't that much to cry about." Lin said.

Gagagashield
[Trap: Normal]

Fortune Lady Earth then held out her left hand as a blue, red, and yellow shield appeared in her hand, with the Gagaga symbol on it. Yang then threw out her fist and punched the shield, creating a small shockwave that damaged Lin just a little. Lin just brushed off her left shoulder like it was nothing.

Lin Zenith: 2900LP – 400LP = 2500LP

"Dang it! Almost had her!" Yang said, as she jumped back to Anna's side.

"Be patient, Yang. You'll get your chance." Blake said.

Anna only looked around to see if there were any Action Cards around. She couldn't find any, so she decided to finish her turn. "I'll play one card face-down, and call it quits." She said.

Turn 6: Lin Zenith
Anna Yuno: 1700LP vs Lin Zenith: 2500LP
Anna Yuno Hand: 1 vs Lin Zenith Hand: 1+1

"Getting this late into the game means that the conclusion is about to come. Let's see which one of us gets a good ending." Lin said drawing her card. "During my Standby phase, my Fortune Ladies get to level up. In addition, whenever Earth levels up, she inflicts 400 points of damage to you." Lin said.

Fortune Lady Earth then shot a stream of Earth energy at Anna, damaging her just a bit. She was forced on her knee but slowly got back up. "Like you said: 400 points of damage isn't much to cry about." Anna said, standing her ground.

Fortune Lady Earth (LV 6 + LV 1 = LV 7): 2400ATK/DEF + 400ATK/DEF = 2800ATK/DEF

Fortune Lady Dark (LV 6 + LV 1 = LV 7): 2400ATK/DEF + 400ATK/DEF = 2800ATK /DEF

Fortune Lady Water (LV 4 + LV 1 = LV 5): 1200ATK/DEF + 300ATK/DEF = 1500ATK/DEF

Anna Yuno: 1700LP – 400LP = 1300LP

"I'm glad you agree with me. Let's see how long that attitude of yours lasts. I'll play my third face-down! Monster Reborn! This Spell can call back any monster I want in attack or defense position. I think I'll bring back the Light of my deck." Lin said, resurrecting Fortune Lady Light in defense mode.

Monster Reborn
[Spell: Normal]

Fortune Lady Light (LV 1): 200ATK/DEF

"As much as I like Light, I'm afraid I must part with her. I activate the Different Dimension Gate! When this gate is opened, I can banish one monster on the field, and in exchange, I can choose one of your monsters to go with her. Have a nice trip, Ms. Xiao Long." Lin said waving at the fiery Huntress.

"Are you serious?" Yang said, worrying a bit.

Different Dimension Gate
[Spell: Continuous]

A gigantic gate-like device then appeared from thin air. The device then generated a rainbow color portal. Suddenly, Yang was then lifted into the air and being dragged towards the portal. Fortune Lady Light didn't resist as much and flew into the portal first. Yang on the other hand tried to swim back to Anna's field, in an attempt to escape the pull of the gate. She eventually gave up and decided to make the best of the situation.

"Out with a Yang!" she punned, as she then winked and disappeared into the portal. Everyone just gave it a deadpanned stare, while Zack snickered a bit.

"Even when getting drag into a different dimension, she still finds a way to sneak in some fun." Ruby said, smiling a bit.

"I guess we could say it's a positive of hers." Anna said, smiling embarrassingly.

Lin only smirked. "If you want her back, just simply destroy my gate, and I get my Lady back. However, since Fortune Lady Light was removed from the field by a card effect, I can now summon another Fortune Lady from my deck. You introduce your fire girl. Let me show you mine. Appear, Fortune Lady Fire!" Lin declared.

Fortune Lady Fire
[LV: 2] [Attribute: Fire]
[Spellcaster/Effect]
[ATK: ?] [DEF: ?]

Fortune Lady Fire (LV 2): 400ATK/DEF

A vortex of fire then appeared on Lin's side of the field, as another Fortune Lady in red robes and with fire hair appeared. "Fortune Lady Fire was summoned by another Fortune Lady's effect. In that case, she can incinerate one of your monsters! I'm going to light up that shadow of yours. You also take damage equal to its attack strength." Lin said.

Fortune Lady Fire then generated a ring of fire that surrounded the token, and then made it smaller, destroying the token. The fire then went over to Anna, burning her just a bit.

Anna Yuno: 1300LP – 950LP = 350LP

"By the way, while you girls were chatting over there, I picked up an Action Card that Yang happened to send my way. It happens to be another Flame Surge, and I think I'll give it to Earth." Lin said.

"That's not good. Now if Earth destroys Blake, Anna will take 2400 points of damage." Mia said, observing the match.

Fortune Lady Earth: 2800ATK + 400ATK = 3200ATK

"Get ready to lose, Anna! Earth! Bury Blake!" Lin said as the Fortune Lady charged.

Anna looked around for an Action Card to fight against Action Card. She then spotted one that was embedded in the rocks above. She began moving rock to rock and grabbed it, but almost slipped. She took a deep breath before playing it. "I activate the Action Spell, Evasion! The attack is negated!" Anna said, quickly playing the card.

Blake then began jumping on Debris to evade the physical attack. Earth then fired an Earth spell at her, and Blake dodged it in the nick of time.

"That was way too close for comfort." Blake said. Suddenly, Fortune Lady Dark then appeared behind her in an instance.

"It's too early to be relieved. Dark will pick up where Earth started." Lin said.

Fortune Lady Dark then stabbed Blake in the back with the blade end of her staff. Blake only gasped in pain, as she then shattered and got sent to the graveyard. Ruby and Weiss looked a bit saddened by it.

"Due to Dark's effect, I can revive Wind back to my field in defense mode. Fortune Lady Water. I'm giving you the honor of granting us victory!" Lin declared, as Fortune Lady Wind came back and Fortune Lady Water charged towards Anna.

Zack and Mia were at the edge of their seats and fell off from scooting too close to the edge, Jaune was biting his nails, Pyrrha and Ren only stared in suspense, and Nora was cheering hard as she could for Anna and team RWBY.

"COME ON RWBY, PLUS ANNA! IT'S TIME FOR THE COMEBACK!" Nora yelled.

Anna disregarded the middle portion of the sentence. "I'm not losing here! I activate the trap Reject Reborn! Whenever I'm attacked directly, this card automatically ends the Battle Phase. After that, I'm allowed to revive one Synchro monster and a Tuner monster from my graveyard with their effects negated. I'll revive Black Shadow Huntress – Blake Belladonna and RWBY-Soul: Bl…" Anna paused for a moment and thought about something. "Wait. I'm about to summon two versions of Blake at the same time, and both of them will be on the field at the same time as well. Will doing this cause some kind of paradox?" Anna thought.

She then imagined a cartoon version sketch in her head, where both synchro Blake and tuner Blake were standing next to each other. The two Blakes then joined hands, and the sketch zoomed out to a galactic view of the earth. The Earth then exploded, as two aliens watched from above in a U.F.O.

"Dddddaaaaaaaaaaaannggg." The aliens said.

Anna immediately shook her head. "No, no, no, no, no, no! That's ridiculous! Even for Duel Monsters. I'm just going to roll with it, and hope nothing explodes. And nothing will explode, brain!" Anna thought, and she immediately threw out anything out of her mind that had to do with exploding planets.

"Anna. Snap out of it! Come back to earth!" Ruby said, snapping her fingers in front of Anna's face.

"IT WON'T BLOW UP THE EARTH!" Anna said in shock.

"Anna. Stop speaking nonsense and summon Blake." Weiss said sounding annoyed.

"O-oh, yeah. Sorry about that. *ahem* Due to Reject Reborn's second effect, I can revive both synchro Blake and tuner Blake from my graveyard! Please no explosion. Please no explosion. Please no explosion, pretty please." Anna said. In her own mind, she was praying furiously for nothing to blow up.

Reject Reborn
[Trap: Normal]

A black portal leading to the graveyard then opened up, as Blake in her synchro form appeared, and countered the Fortune Lady's attack.

"I'm not done yet! Not by a long shot! My spirit will not waver! Blake yelled, sounding a bit more aggressive than she usually is.

Fortune Lady Water pushed off Blake and jumped ascended into the air. She then prepared to fire a stream of water at Anna. A smaller shadow then stepped out of the portal and jumped on Blake's head. It was none other than another Blake in her tuner form.

"You really need to calm down. It's just a game." Tuner Blake said in a very calm tone. She then attacked Fortune Lady Water with a quick slash, preventing her from attacking and forcing her back.

Right now, the two Blakes stood side by side, ready for anything that came there way. However, they were acting a bit strange.

"Don't worry, Anna. We'll fight until victory is earned. Lin will not leave this duel as the victor after all she has said to you." Synchro Blake said in an inspiring voice.

"Huh?" Ruby, Weiss, and Anna said.

"Don't put pressure on her. Well, I suppose I can't be calm either at this point. Everyone just loses their temper when it comes to this game. *sigh* I doubt there's anyone who plays this game without yelling." Tuner Blake said in a very sarcastic and calm tone.

There was an awkward silence until Ruby broke it. "Not going to lie. This is the strangest thing I have witnessed in my life."

"I actually agree with you." Weiss said. She then tasted the air a bit. "That's sounded weird too."

"What are you talking about? You heard what Lin said. She was mocking us, and she needs to know that she shouldn't look down upon others." Synchro Blake said in an aggressive tone.

"Just relax. I might feel that way, but it's just how some people behave. We can't just go teaching lessons to everyone who does wrong. Even we have made mistakes in the past, and all we can do is learn from those mistakes." Tuner Blake said in a very reasonable tone.

"Don't sound so calm! I'm not going to have Anna just stand around while someone questions her own strength!" Synchro Blake said.

"Smack talk is normal with stuff like this. No need to make such a big deal over it." Tuner Blake said.

Zack, Mia, and team JNPR only had dumbfounded looks on their faces as they saw two Blakes arguing. Almost as if their inner voices were having a discussion.

Tuner Blake then came to a conclusion. "Look. I hate mocking as much as you do, so I'll help you. But in return, just please try to calm down." Tuner Blake asked, sounding very tired of having this discussion.

"I appreciate it. Now let's fight for Anna and let her show her strength." Synchro Blake said in a confident tone.

"Ok, already. Can you please lower voice though. It's hurting my ears a bit." Tuner Blake said, sounding relieved now that the argument was over.

Everyone didn't know how to respond until Weiss came to a reasonable conclusion. "I guess when you two versions of us on the field, our two distinguishing personalities are represented by our Synchro and Tuner forms. Blake has a great sense and feelings of justice, which would explain why she acting a bit more aggressive in her Synchro form." She said.

"Also, she's a bit quiet, calm, and a bit sarcastic at times, which is a perfect representation from Blake's tuner form." Ruby said coming to the conclusion as well.

"I'm just glad Blake was the first one to go through this. I can only stand one of you and, one of Yang." Weiss said.

"Don't be like that, Weiss. I might have a part that's not so bad!" Ruby said.

"I guess you might. We'll just have to wait." Weiss said.

"This was quite the experience. I would be lying if I were to say I wouldn't be looking forward to seeing two versions of you guys chatting with each other on the field." Anna said smiling nervously.

Lin regained her composure and continued. "Well, if you're done talking, I'll continue on with my turn. I'll set one card face-down and end my turn." Lin said.

Fortune Lady Earth: 3200ATK – 400ATK = 2800ATK

Turn 7
Anna Yuno: 350LP vs Lin Zenith: 2500LP
Anna Yuno Hand: 1+1 vs Lin Zenith Hand: 0

"My turn now! I draw!" Anna said. "It's Mana. With her, I can discard a spell card and add either Ruby or Weiss to my hand. Also, I can use an Action card to pay the cost. The only problem is that I don't have the right requirements for the summon. The only levels I can create are seven and four. What's worse is that the only level 7 monster I have in my extra deck is Ruby, and I don't have any other level 4 synchro monsters." Anna thought.

A woman's voice then began speaking in her head. It was the same voice from before. "Amazing. Every word you said in that last sentence, was wrong. Take a closer look." The voice said.

Anna didn't realize that the voice was someone else's but thought it was hers. She then looked at her D-Tablet and tapped her extra deck. After swiping past Ruby and Weiss' cards, she saw something else. "Synchro monsters. These dreams are really starting to freak me out. That doesn't matter right now. What matters now, is to go beyond my limits now!" Anna thought.

"Anna! Why are you spacing out all of the time? Stop staring at the ground and start dueling like a pro." Ruby said, waving her hand in front of Anna's face.

"S-sorry again." Anna said. Her face then expressed her determination to win. "I normal summon Grand Mage Huntress – Mana from my hand in attack mode! With her out on the field, I can discard a Spell-Card from my hand and add a RWBY-Soul tuner monster to my hand. An Action Card will do just fine." Anna said.

[Spellcaster/Effect]
[ATK: 700] [DEF: 400]

Anna then searched the area for an Action Card. Fortunately, there was a card on a nearby rock in front of her. It was further away than most, but she could still reach it under the time limit. The bad news was that Lin could also get it under the same time limit. Up till now, neither player had the opportunity to compete for an Action Card. Anna and Lin both looked at the card, then at each other.

"DIBS!" they yelled, as they ran towards the card.

"Alright girls. Let's do this!" Lin said, as she ran alongside her Fortune Ladies, who were flying in the air next to her.

"We're in this together, and we'll win together!" Anna yelled as she ran alongside both Blakes, and Mana who levitated. Ruby and Weiss followed as well, even though they couldn't really do anything in their state.

Fortune Lady Earth tried to intercept Anna by creating several spike rock formations on her battleship. Mana then used her spellbook to create wind magic, which was pressurized to size through the rocks, allowing Anna to jump on them. Eventually, the two mages were now having a Dragon-ball style magic laser battle. Fortune Lady Water then began firing multiple water attacks at Anna to knock her down. Seeing this, Synchro Blake immediately got in front of Anna and used her Shadow Clones to have them take the hits. Anna then ran around the water and pumped her legs with all the energy she could. Lin was a bit more mobile, so she was quickly making her way to the card.

"Lin is faster than, Anna. We have to find a way to get her there faster." Ruby said.

"Can't she just go get a different Action Card that's nearby, instead of having to compete for it?" Weiss asked.

"Are you kidding me!? This is way more exciting and even fun!" Ruby said.

"I'll never understand this card game logic. I guess we could use Mana's magic as a boost, and Blake is pretty useful for getting up to high places by using her weapon." Weiss said.

Ruby then analyzed the situation and came up with a plan. "I got it! Weiss, I have an idea! Even though we don't have Yang, we're going to use a different version of Bumblebee." Ruby

"If you're saying what I think you're saying, might as well give it a shot." Weiss said.

"Great! I'll tell Anna." Ruby said. She then floated to Anna's ear and whispered the plan.

"That sounds dangerous, but Action Duels are pretty dangerous. I'm in." Anna said.

Lin noticed that Anna was talking with her spirits. Knowing they were up to something she decided to keep Fortune Lady Wind and Fire next to her, and have Earth and Water on the offensive. With only 20 seconds left, Lin was almost near the card. However, she then noticed that Anna began running to her right. Earth tried to stop her, but Synchro Blake intercepted her, used a Fire dust Shadow Clone to counter, stunning Earth. Mana managed to temporarily encase Water in a magic circle. Synchro Blake then threw her Gambol Shroud to Anna created some tension. Mana then increased Blake's strength, allowing her to swing Anna with much force. Lin realized that Blake was going to try and swing Anna over to the card but she would still be able to reach it first.

However, she then realized something. "Wait. Where's the smaller one?" Lin said, scanning the area.

"Down here." Tuner Blake said. She then created multiple shadow clones of rock Dust Elements, to trip Lin and make her fall down, and used multiple fire dust clones to fend off the fortune ladies. "Being this tiny is actually not bad. Due to my small size, I was able to make my way over here without being spotted and I'm much faster than Anna. Here she comes now." Tuner Blake said.

Lin then saw Anna swinging over, reaching out her hand. Lin scrambled for the Action Card in hopes of grabbing it first, but Anna then rolled towards it and grabbed it, just in time. Her monsters then regrouped with her, while Anna was taking a breather. "I definitely need more exercise. My legs are killing me." Anna said.

"Nice work Anna. You managed to pull off the Bumblebee! You would make a great substitute! All you need is more stamina." Ruby said.

"Ruby's right, Anna. Activate seeing you in this state, you definitely need to train your body more." Weiss said.

"I'm a duelist. Not a track runner for crying out loud." Anna said.

"No excuses, Anna! Exercise is necessary for a healthy life, so it's best that you start training your body now." Synchro Blake said.

"Stop pressuring her. She's not a huntress, like us. Although you could be better, Anna." Tuner Blake said.

(BGM: Play Passionate Duelist theme)

Anna only sighed knowing that team RWBY was now going to be on her case of getting into better shape now. However, she was ready to win. Mentally at least. Physically, not so much. "I discard the Action Card Evasion, to activate Mana's effect! Doing this lets me add RWBY-Soul: Weiss Schnee to my hand! Also, since the opposing player controls more spell and trap cards than me, I can special summon her to my field!" Anna declared.

"I'll lend a hand. Just bring me out quickly." Weiss said.

"About that, I can't. I'm bringing someone else out." Anna said.

"Hmph. Do what you wish." Weiss said smiling.

RWBY-Soul: Weiss Schnee

[ATK: 1200] [DEF: 1000]

"Thanks for not being angry." Anna said. Her extra deck then began to glow with energy, and Anna could feel the presence of two souls waiting to be unleashed.

"First I tune level 2 RWBY-Soul: Blake Belladonna with level 5 Black Shadow Huntress – Blake Belladonna!" Anna shouted.

"I'm tuning with myself. This is a bit awkward." Tuner Blake said.

"No time for idle talk. We have to take action." Synchro Blake said.

Tuner Blake just shrugged and just went with it. She then turned into two green rings and outlined Synchro's Blake's body turning her into five stars.

2 + 5 = 7

"Warrior of dread! Dance within the night, and move as swift as the wind! I Synchro Summon! Dread Battler Huntress – Selena!" Anna chanted.

Dread Battler Huntress – Selena
[LV: 7] [Attribute: Dark]
[Beast-Warrior/Synchro/Effect]
[ATK: 2600] [DEF: 1600]

A pillar of light shot through the rings and then disappeared. The monster was nowhere to be seen, however. A whistle then was then heard from behind Anna, as a figure stood above, on a floating carrier. She was playing a bamboo flute, and smile. She then jumped off the carrier ship and landed on Anna's side of the field. Getting a better view of the warrior. She had unique armor, she wore red and white ninja garbs, only hers had a skirt. Over the garb, her armor consisted of red and gold colored plated chest armor, that went to her shoulders on her upper body, and two metal boots of the same color that were equipped with claws. She also wore a purple scarf around her neck, which was flowing in the sudden breeze. On the right side of her waist, was a sheath for a katana sword, meaning that she was left-handed and there was a large ring-like-item on her back and had a fire design. She had smooth dark yellow hair, that went down to her waist, and two violet eyes. She also had a sharp left tooth among her teeth, which could be seen when she opened her mouth. What was interesting about he was that she had, a foxtail and two fox ears. Selena then spoke in a mature but light voice and gave off a gentle smile.

"Greetings, Ms. Yuno. My name is Selena Silk. I'm what many of my colleagues refer to as a Dread Fighter by most. However, please refer to me as the Dread Battler. It has a nicer ring to it. Now, if you may, can you please summon my younger step-sister. I'm certain that you would find her to be useful." Selena said.

"Sure. For someone whose name includes the word 'Dread', you don't sound all that gloomy." Anna said. At the same time, a Shadow Clone Token of Selena appeared.

Shadow Clone Token (Dread Battle Huntress - Selena
[LV: 6] [Attribute: Dark]
[Beast-Warrior/Effect]
[ATK: 1300] [DEF: 800]

Selena just chuckled. "Dread Fighters fight with fierce skill and attacks, making the enemy have a sense of fear and anxiety. One of the classes I looked into when I was training to be a Huntress." Selena said in a calm but cheerful manner.

Anna, Ruby, and Weiss only gave her a deadpanned look. Anna then went back to the duel. "Ok then, moving on. I now tune level 2 RWBY-Soul: Weiss with level 2 Mana!" Anna shouted.

Weiss then turned herself into two green rings and surround Mana, turning her into two stars.

2 + 2 = 4

"Magician of wonder and joy! Dazzle the field with your brilliance! I Synchro Summon! Wonder Mage Huntress – Gina!" Anna chanted.

Wonder Magician Huntress – Gina
[LV: 4] [Attribute: Light]
[Spellcaster/Synchro/Pendulum/Effect]
Scale [6:6]
[ATK: 800] [DEF: 2000]

An explosion of smoke then appeared on Anna's side of the field. Spotlights from somewhere then shined on the smoke. When the smoke cleared up, a person concealed within crimson and gold-colored cape, and a classic color magician's top hat. The cape was put together by a sapphire gem. The girl known as Gina smiled and unveiled herself, swing her cape around to her back, to reveal herself. She was wearing a black Magician's dress that went down to her mid-leg, and up to her chest, which was the size of Weiss' chest. She also had a dagger sheathed near her right ankle, and a belt around her waist filled with several throwing knives. She was also wearing a red heart-shaped pendant around her neck. She had short black hair and two violet eyes like Selena. She spoke with a young and optimistic tone.

"Gina Silk is ready for her grand debut! Don't look away, because you might miss out on the experience! For the record, I both and Entertaining Magician and a Combat Magician." Gina said smiling.

"You seem pretty fun. Also, you're a magician that fights?" Anna asked.

"Of course! My dream is to be like my number one idol, the Dark Magician! He is so amazing, and my inspiration!" Gina said, fangirling at the thought.

"Relax now, sister. We have a job to do first. After we're done here, you can talk about your fascinations with Anna and with the main Huntresses." Selena said, positioning herself in a combat stance.

"You said it, Selena! It's time for action! Hit it, Anna!" Gina said, posing dramatically with her right hand on her top hat, and her right eye closed.

Anna and Ruby thought that the two new Huntresses looked prepared and were readied for anything. They exchanged looks with each other and smile, knowing they could trust them. Anna then continued her turn. "I activate Wonder Magician Huntress – Gina's effect! By paying half of my life points, I can banish as many spell cards I want from my graveyard. I'll banish all seven spells that are in my graveyard!" Anna yelled.

Anna Yuno: 350LP – 375LP = 175LP

Gina then snapped her right fingers, and a magic wand then appeared in her hand. She then waved it in the air, causing Anna's duel disk to glow, as every spell card came out of her graveyard, and gathered into a massive light above her. "Are you ready, everyone!? It's the grand finale!" Gina yelled as the gigantic sphere of light hanged over everyone's head.

"Gina's final act is that she destroys all monsters regardless of friend, foe or even herself, whose attack points are equal or lower to the number of spells banished by her effect times 400. Or, she can destroy the monsters based on their defense points. Either way, all your ladies have the same number of points. Any face-down defense position monsters are treated as having zero attack and defense points. Seven spells were banished, meaning that all monsters with 2800 attack points are destroyed!" Anna declared.

"No way!" everyone, except Linda and Selena, yelled.

"Light it up, sis!" Selena shouted.

Gina only nodded, as she then winked and raised her wand. "Magic…. Flaming…. Burst!" she yelled, pausing for dramatic effect in between the words. She then gave her wand a twirl and then a flick, and tapped the glowing sphere two times.

The sphere then began to spin rapidly around, as it then shot out streams of fireworks in all directions, blowing up and exploding with whatever it came in contact with, while others burst in the sky. The entire field was engulfed with a bright light, that made it impossible to see any Action Cards. More fireworks burst out, as it then rained down on both player's fields, creating a rainbow-colored explosion. The battleships were also destroyed and wrecked even more by the effect. Some had explosives on them, causing the fireworks to get even bigger. From an audience perspective, the fireworks were amazing to see and felt like a New Years or Fourth of July party. Zack, Mia, and team JNPR were in awe of seeing the event. The glowing sphere finally stoped firing the fireworks, and then exploded itself, creating a firework version of Gina smiling and posing dramatically.

The dust then started clear away on Lin's side of the field. Fortune Lady Water, Fire, and Wind were gone. However, Dark now had a Gagaga shield equipped, an Earth still had hers. Right now, Lin had two face-up Gagaga shields; one for Dark and one for Earth. "I'll admit that was an amazing display. I actually smiled there for a moment. However, Dark and Earth, are still safe thanks to their shields. As for you, it was a poor mistake to nuke the field. You now have nothing defending you." Lin said.

"Are so sure about that?" Ruby said, in a smug tone.

"Huh?"

"You better take a closer look at our field." Anna said.

Lin then squinted her eyes past to smoke, and they instantly widen to see Selena still alive, and Gina above in the sky, in a pillar with the number 6 below her. The Shadow Clone token was however gone.

"Allow me to explain it to you nice and slowly, Lin. Selena can't be destroyed by, monster, spell or trap effects. Also, whenever Gina is destroyed, and I have a free pendulum zone, she goes there instead." Anna said. Gina also waved at everyone and enjoyed being up high.

"I've been Gina's lab fox to help her practice with her dangerous magic tricks. I've developed a sense of awareness for danger afterward." Selena explained.

Lin was initially shocked by this but calmed down. She then gestured her hands saying 'come at me, bro'. Anna only smiled and accepted the challenge. "Dread Battler Huntress – Selena, ready your blade! Attack Fortune Lady Earth! Her now effect activates! Whenever she battles a monster with 2000 or more attack points, the opposing monster loses 700 attack points for this battle!" Anna shouted.

Selena only smirked, as she drew her sword with her left hand. She then held her katana over her shoulder, and two fingers of her right hand in front of her face, as she then began running towards the Fortune Lady. She then threw several shurikens at Earth, grazing her hand holding the staff. Lin then spotted an Action card in front of her, and immediately dived for it.

"I play the Action Spell, Med-Booster! I gain 1000 life points!" Lin said playing the card.

Med-Booster
[Spell: Action]

Fortune Lady Earth: 2800ATK – 700ATK = 2100ATK

Selena and Fortune Lady Earth then clashed in midair. Selena then did a backflip and began running towards Earth, only this time, she created two afterimages to confuse Earth, and sliced through her. She blocked the attack with her shield using it final power, as it then turned gray to recharge. A shockwave was then created damaging Lin, but a green aura also appeared around her, to heal her.

Lin Zenith: 2500LP – 500LP + 1000LP = 3000LP

Fortune Lady Earth: 2100ATK + 700ATK = 2800ATK

"Nice try. However, I'm still standing, and Earth as well. Next turn, she'll level up and deal you 400 points of damage." Lin said.

Ruby only smirked. "You won't get a next-turn. Right, Anna?" she asked.

"Dead right you are. I activate Selena's final effect! If she inflicts battle damage, after the damage step, I can destroy one face-up spell or trap card! I'm bringing down your Dimension Gate!" Anna yelled.

Lin was surprised by the effect. Selena then began charging towards the gate. Once she got, close, she then performed a cross slash. She then slid her katana against her sheath and insert it back in, and the Gate the exploded. Since the gate was destroyed, Fortune Lady Light came back to the field in defense mode. As for Yang, she came out flying. She then twisted her body and used her gauntlets to slow down her fall. She then performed a combat roll on the ground.

"Nailed it. Man. That was the weirdest experience of my life. Yang said, sounding a bit worn out. She then noticed Selena was standing right next to her, and that Gina was above her. "Who are you?" she asked pointing to Selena. "And who's she?" she asked again pointing to Gina.

"My name is Selena. We'll get into introductions later. If you would be so kind, I appreciate it if you punch that brown Fortune Lady over there." Selena said in a calm voice.

"I would be more than happy to." Yang said, flicking her right wrist. She then extended her Ember Celica to attack-position.

Lin only smirked. "Impressive. However, my barrier still has one use left, and Light is in defense mode. Plus, none of my monsters have 3000 attack points, so Yang can't get a power-up." Lin said.

"That's only partially true. However, that all can change. I activate the Quick-Play spell card, Star Changer. Due to this card's effect, I target one face up monster on the field and either increase or decrease its level by one. I increasing the level of your Fortune Lady Earth by one!" Anna declared.

Star Changer
[Spell: Quick-Play]

Star Changer showed multiple stars flying around. A flash of light then flew out of the card and entered Fortune Lady Earth, making her stronger.

Fortune Lady Earth (LV 7 + LV 1 = LV 8): 2800ATK/DEF + 400ATK/DEF = 3200ATK/DEF

"You're quite forgetful, Anna! Fortune Lady Earth's effect also works on your turn! With only 175 life points left, you're finished!" Linda yelled. Fortune Lady Earth then raised her wand and fired a blast of energy at Anna. Anna eyes widen as she serached the area for an Action Card. However, it was in an elevated position.

"Yang! I need a boost!" Anna yelled.

"You don't need to ask twice!" Yang yelled. She then grabbed Anna by the arm, spun her around and flinged her in the air.

Anna flaied her arms in the air, but aimed her body towards the card and grabbed it. The magic attack then made contact, causing an explosion that obsurced the view. When the dust settled, Anna was seen, standing proudly. "The card I grabbed was Med-Booster. Due to it's effect, I gain 1000 life points."

"Huh. What a lucky girl." Lin said, impressed.

Anna Yuno: 175LP + 1000LP - 400LP = 725LP

Linda, who was still watching from above, was impressed. "I see. She deliberately used Earth's own power up advantage to elevate her success for victory. Furthermore, she took a risk with the Action Cards, knowing raising her level could cost her the duel, but at the same time was the only way to win. While she may not be fit like most Action duelists, she still makes use of every advantage she can take while dueling. She shows promise, just like my grandkids." Linda said.

"Yang! Takedown Fortune Lady Earth!" Anna yelled.

"Go for it, sis!" Ruby cheered.

"Round 2! And fight!" Yang yelled.

Yang and Fortune Lady then clashed in mid-air. Yang fired a shot close range, but Earth moved her arm up to make her miss. Earth then tried to slice Yang with her blade but missed. Yang then grabbed her staff with her right and was now holding Earth's right hand, as the two monsters tried to overpower the other.

At that moment, Ruby and Anna looked at each other and smiled. They began speaking in unison. "I activate Yang's effect! Whenever battling a monster with 2000 or more attack points, I can destroy one spell or trap card on your field. I destroy Fortune Lady Dark's Gagaga shield!" they yelled.

Yang then fired a shot from her gauntlet destroying her shield. Lin then saw another action card and tried to activate it. "I play the Action Spell, Evasion! Yang's attack is negated!" Lin yelled.

"Not happening! I activate the effect of RWBY-Soul: Yang Xiao Long from the graveyard! Whenever a Huntress Synchro monster's attack would be negated an opponent's card effect, I can banish her from the graveyard to negate the effect and destroy it!" Ruby and Anna yelled.

Yang's tuner form then came out of the graveyard as a fiery spirit, and flew at the action card, destroying it in its collision. Lin just scowled at that.

"Yang's other effect now activates! If she battles a monster with 3000 or more attack points, she gains attack points equal to half the difference of my life points subtracted from 4000! Our life points are at 175, meaning that she gains 1812.5 attack points!" Anna and Ruby said.

Yellow Flame Huntress – Yang Xiao Long: 2800ATK + 1912.5ATK = 4712.5ATK

Yang's eyes then turned red, and her hair caught fire. She then managed to push off Fortune Lady Earth and punch her down to the ground. She then began propelling herself using her gauntlets as she readied another punch, and was screaming at the top of her lungs.

"It's not over yet! I activate Gina's pendulum effect! Once per turn, whenever a Huntress Synchro Monster gains attack points by a card effect, I can banish one spell card from my graveyard to add the same amount again, until the end of this turn! Go, Wonder Enchantment!" Ruby and Anna yelled.

Yellow Flame Huntress – Yang Xiao Long: 4712.5ATK + 1912.5ATK = 6425ATK

Gina in her pendulum zone, made her wand appeared with a snap and fired a massive ray of light towards Yang. The light made Yang stronger, as all of her body and clothes turned to the color of gold, and her eyes now sparkling with a crimson color. With her enhanced strength, she fell even faster than before. Her fist then collided with Fortune Lady Earth's drained Gagaga Shield. Yang then began throwing out punches, faster than she normally would, firing enhanced shotgun blasts well. Anna and Ruby stood side by side, as they then pointed forward, standing symmetrically together. However, they didn't notice that Ruby was at her normal size during that moment.

"Finish it! GOLDEN BURNING RUSH!" they yelled.

She then raised her right fist for one final punch and slammed Earth as hard she could, causing a massive explosion to sweep through the field. Lin saw the explosion heading towards her, and just shrug, knowing that it was over. The explosion swept over her and thrown her back.

Lin Zenith: 3000LP – 3425LP = 0LP

Duel End
Winner: Anna Yuno

The action field then lowered both duelists to ground level and reverted back to it's standard form. Anna and Ruby were both breathing heavily after speaking in unison and looked exhausted.

"We did it, Anna. I didn't even think we would pull it off. How did we even do that?" Ruby asked, panting.

"I think you developed…what I like to call…a duelist instinct. Considering your hyperactive personality, I think yours developed a lot faster. Besides, I saw Zack and Mia pulled it off once." Anna said.

Anna and Ruby then looked at each other and smiled. However, Ruby realized she was standing on her own two feet, and looking directly at Anna's face. Anna realized that Ruby wasn't a tiny chibi but a 15-year-old girl with the same figure as her. Anna then held up a mirror to show Ruby her reflection.

"Check it out! I'm back to normal size now!" Ruby said.

"But how? I thought you could only change in duels and the spirit world." Anna said.

"I'm not sure, but it's great cause I can do this! Victory hug!" Ruby yelled hugging Anna.

Anna was surprised at first but embraced it. To her, Ruby gives off a positive vibe that just rubs off on others. She then noticed Yang coming towards them and was even more shocked. Ruby noticed this and turned around, and had the same expression.

"Hey, guys. What's up?" Yang asked. Apparently, she was still golden, and her eyes were still crimson.

"Are you still mad, sis? Your eyes are still red." Ruby said.

"Nope. I'm just like this for now. You know, dad always said I always glowed brightly as gold, but this duel took it literally. I could get used to this. By the way, that was some pretty intense unison speaking you two did there." Yang said, still shining bright as gold.

"Anna said I was developing a duelist's instinct. Besides, I know Anna pretty well. Being a leader, it's important to be close with all my teammates. But Yang. You're being a bit too close." Ruby said.

"Yeah. Looking at you is like looking at the sun without any sunglasses." Anna said.

"I'll take that as a compliment," Yang said cheerfully.

A flash of light then appeared around both Huntress, reverting them back to their tuner forms. "I guess big time is over." Ruby said. Weiss and Blake then exited the portal with Blake looking really embarrassed.

"You're telling me that I, split into two personalities?" Blake asked.

"Exactly. One showed your justice, the other showed your calm nature. I'll admit, it was actually interesting to see the two versions of you interact." Weiss said.

"Really. That sounds, unique. I have a slight vague memory of it." Blake said, recovering.

"Yeah. It's like your inner voices spoke out." Ruby said.

Everyone laughed a bit, including Blake who just smiled nervously. Anna then noticed Lin walking up to her. "Now that was a good match, Ms. Yuno. I'll accept this loss, but next time, you might not be so fortunate." She said, shaking her hand.

"You put up a fight that I had to earn. I respect you for that. Sorry about my outburst earlier." Anna said.

"My mistake. If I've had known that provoking you would allow your deck to respond better to you, I might have kept my mouth shut. Anyways, I'm going to head out now. Till we meet again." Lin said walking away. "How interesting. I'm starting to see why previous Grimm fell to her. Those other Synchro Huntresses that she called. Knowing this universe, I bet there's even more of them. I better tell this to Liege. Knowledge is power, and the more you know, the better." Lin thought to herself as she smiled. She then left the building, and when no one was looking, she entered a black portal back to the Grimm Lair/Cave/Base/something.

Anna and team RWBY then walked back to the booth where Zack, Mia, and team JNPR waited for them.

"THAT WAS AWESOME, ANNA! You jump off that ledge, and landing on the fighter jet! Then that awesome swing, you did with Blake! And that firework display! I'M PUMPED UP FOR ANOTHER BATTLE!" Zack yelled.

"You're going have to wait, big bro. It's closing time, and Grandma wants to meditate. Alone." Mia said.

"Aw, man. I really wanted to be on the field." Zack said, feeling a bit disappointed.

Nora was one to disagree. "I don't know really. I still think those Action Cards are a bit cheap. And I think a lot of people would agree with me." She said.

"It was still amazing to see you in action, but you really need to work out more, Anna." Pyrrha said, in the kindest way possible.

Ren also nodded. "Indeed. You show signs of fatigue after running for a short amount of time. Your running form needs work. I can give you a good regime to move more effectively." He said. Nora snuck behind him, and waved her hands furious and shook her head, signaling Anna not to accept.

"Um…I'll think about it." Anna said.

"I look forward to hearing your reply. Plus, I'll make you a fresh batch of my nutrient juice." Ren said.

When Ren turned around, Nora came up from behind Anna and whispered in her ear. "Just a heads up. I wouldn't drink something that looks the same when it went in and then came back up. I considered that poison." Nora said, as she slowly moved away.

"I'll keep that in mind." Anna said.

"Anyways, who were those two Huntresses you summoned? I've never heard of them from Remnant before." Jaune asked.

Anna just shrugged. "I have no idea. It could be a while until we see them again."

Suddenly, smoke then exploded in the room startling everyone. Ruby jumped back and knocked herself into Anna, causing both of them fall down. From the smoke, a figure in a crimson and gold cape was seen, with black hair. The figure was concealing itself in the cape, only showing its violet eyes. It was none other than Gina.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The Wonder Magician has taken center stage!" Gina yelled as she threw around her cape, unveiling herself. Confetti then appeared out of nowhere, as magical words then appeared above her, spelling out her name in bright magic energy. Her name then sparkled and crackled before it disappeared.

Ruby just fainted, Weiss had a shock expression with her jaw hanging, Blake had a deadpanned stare, Yang and Nora had stars in her eyes, Jaune was initially confused, and both Ren and Pyrrha gave her calm applause. Anna, Zack, and Mia just asked questions.

"Who are you exactly?" Anna asked.

"How did you do that!?" Zack asked in awe.

"How exactly did you get here? Aren't you a spirit?" Mia asked.

Gina only smirked and tilted her top hat down. She then took a deep breath and shouted her words.

"TO BE CONTINUED!" She yelled, winking, and sticking her tongue out in a cute fashion.

Bonus Section: Yang's Dimension Travels

After getting sucked up by the Dimension Gate, Yang found herself tumbling through space-dimension, with multiple different portals.

"Now this is something you don't see every day." She said to herself.

One of the portals then moved in front of her allowing, as she then entered it. Her body then exited the other side as an astral spirit, but still in her synchro form. "Hey check it out! I'm a ghost." Yang said. She then looked below and saw something that appeared to be a wide terrain battlefield. Two people were standing on opposite sides. One appeared to be a Hispanic, olive-skinned girl, while the other happened to be a green haired teenage boy, who looked a bit frenzied at the moment. There also happened to be a giant Mantis, a little stag beetle, and a beetle with large pincers squaring off against a War Dragon, and a little white dragon chick.

"Ruler of the Sky! King of Fire! Descend from above and rule with might! I summon SkyWyvernKing Rahtalos!" The red-haired girl yelled. The card shot a red light into the sky. The clouds above split apart, as a red and black scaled wyvern swooped down from above and landed on the field. It then gave out a battle roar, that echoed through the field.

"Now that an awesome looking wyvern!" Yang yelled. Another portal then opened up, swallowing her, sending her elsewhere. This time Yang found herself looking down from above, to see a giant black dome, she recognized that this was a Darkness Duel, and saw a spikey black-haired teen, facing a cloaked duelist. There was also another red hair outside the dome watching. On the teen's field, there was a blue crystal and short girl with purple hair, wearing a white hoodie and wielding a katana. Right now, he was going up against two fire breathing dragons. One of them was taken. The teenager then began to tune the crystal with the girl and began chanting.

"Goddess of the land of purple progress! Come forth and help those you call friends! Synchro Summon! Level 7! CPU Purple Heart!" the teen chanted.

A flash of light then appeared as a more mature version of the girl appeared in a battle form on the field. The girl then charged at both dragons, and slaying both of them, causing a massive explosion. Yang just whistled.

"Talk about hitting a growth spurt." Yang said, as she then got sucked into another dimension. This time, Yang was above what looked like a war zone version of Remnant. It looked very grim, as she saw soldiers battling against a variety of monsters, and some of them looked like they were part of the White Fang. It made her a bit scared seeing something so destructive taking place. When she looked up, she then saw a humongous black spider, with red accents. What surprised her even more, was that she saw her sister, Ruby, at full size, dueling against a white-haired, and tan-skinned man, who was controlling the spider. Right now, Ruby had three white dragons, that looked the same. The only difference was that one dragon had armor, and another looked like it was sparkling, while the remaining one looked neutral.

"It can't be!" the man yelled now with fear in his eyes, "No!"

"Yes, Stardust… ATTACK!" Ruby shouted at the top of her lungs.

Each Stardust took their turn, blasting the gigantic spider with there breath attacks.

"It can't be! It wasn't supposed to be! There can be no way I, Earthbound Immortal Uru, would be defeated by a small brat like you!" the man shouted in denial.

"HEY! The only one who gets to call my sister a brat, IS ME!" Yang shouted. Nobody could hear her though.

"Well, I have one word for you Roman… It's called reality!" Ruby said snapping her fingers as the armored white dragon fired the final attack destroying the spider.

Yang was now crying tears of joy. "I'm so proud to know that my sister can look amazing. I really did raise her well. I better get sunglasses for her just in case if she does something like this again. That way, she can look even cooler." Yang said wiping her tears. However, she then realized that if Ruby was fighting, she apart of the huge war fight down below. "WAIT A MINUTE! What's my baby sister doing in the middle of a war zone! She is in so much trouble when I get my hands on her!" Yang said, trying to fly down to her sister to teach her a lesson.

Fortune Lady Light, who was also banished, floated by her. "Don't worry so much. This is just an alternate dimension. That's not your actual sister. She's the sister of another Yang here." Light said.

"That makes no sense at all! There's no way I would let my sister participate in something this insane!" Yang yelled.

"Well, from what I've heard about this dimension, tough choices are made here. It's actually really dark when you think about it. Ta-ta." Light said, as flew away to another dimension.

"What exactly happened here?" Yang asked, as she then sucked up by another portal. The next dimension she entered was a bit different. This time, her body was solid as she then landed on the floor of a normal bedroom. The typing of a keyboard could be heard. When she looked up, she saw a nineteen-year young man typing away at his computer. However, his head resembled that of a robot. He then stopped for a moment to think.

"Hmmmm. It wouldn't make sense for Anna to have Yang attack Earth, since Light would be a better target when she came back. I know! I'll change 'Call of the Haunted' to 'Back to the Front' so she can be revived in defense mode. Wait, but 'Back to the Front' was made during the VRAINS era. I don't want to deal with people asking me questions related to that." The man said.

Just then the man realized that someone was behind him and turned around to see Yang. Yang got a full image of the man's face as it was a robot-like face, with blue-eye-lens, with a V-shaped fin on his head, several lines across the face, and a red chin. There was an awkward silence between the two. Yang just waved. Another portal then appeared, sending her back to the time when Anna just destroyed the Dimension Gate. The man then turned around and blinked a couple of times.

"Ok. I think I should go to sleep now. My brain is starting to go bananas." The man said as he went to bed, and decided to finish what he was working on later.

Author's Note

(Disclaimer): The following cameos belong respectively in order of appearance. First one belongs to me. The second belongs to author SSJC J. The third belongs to Tyrannozaur. And the fourth was just a gag. These cameos represent that the corresponding authors that I plan to do crossovers overs with. PaladinJS. If you're reading this, the only reason why I didn't do a cameo of your fic is because you've been inactive of late, and we really never talk much about doing a crossover. If it makes you feel better, just PM me and I'll do cameo appearance for you in my next chapter of this fic.

Anyways, I hoped you enjoy my first Action Duel fic. I have mixed feelings about it. Picking up random cards sounds cool on paper, but when executed in the ARC V story, it becomes plot armor for characters. My characters are no exception, since Anna wouldn't have been able to pull off Gina's effect without all those Action Cards in her grave. As for those of you questioning my actions of making a synchro pendulum monster, I just thought it would be neat. Fun fact, Selena is inspired from the Dread Fighter class from Fire Emblem, and Gina was inspired by Trucy Wright from the Ace Attorney series. Most OC cards I make were inspired by my interest in games, anime and other forms of media. Gina has another effect.

"When this card battles a monster with 2000 or more attack points, negate this card's attack, and add one banished spell card back to your hand. Swap this card to defense mode after that."

If you guys, want to correct the PSCT of these new cards, go ahead. All of their effects have been shown. I decided to make my own Action Cards because I don't want every card that duelist pick up to be 'Evasion'. Besides, most Action Cards on the anime were copied and pasted from other action cards.

In other words, I finished the first chapter of my new fic a month ago. Battle Spirits: World of Monsters. It takes another card game that I love, but sadly wasn't localized to America, and combines it with the famous Monster Hunter games. Staring my own OC characters, they call upon powerful spirits of the Monster Hunter universe to fight by their side. If you haven't already, check it out, and let me know what you think about it. Right now, I'm going to be working on the next chapter of that fic. I'm alternating. Battle spirits, Yugioh, Battle spirits, Yugioh, battle spirits, Yugioh, and so forth. I hope you enjoy that story, as much as you enjoy this story.

Well, that's all for now, so see you next duel!

(Notification)

I changed Med-Booster's life point gain to 1000 instead of 1500, in order for the duel to make sense. Plus, I fixed my math.

I also forgot to put in the Shadow Clone Token, since it wasn't necessary for Anna to win the duel. But I decided to put it in there. Blake's tuner effect works on all Huntress Synchro Based Monsters.
