Chapter 18

Erica's van Genus' Audio Journal #18: Thirteenth, Fourteenth & Fifteenth Reincarnation

Sorry, but I'm pulling off my Erica persona for a while because the class I'm gonna teach is gonna start real soon. In my thirteenth reincarnation, I was in some add version of a Yu-Gi-Oh! universe. Man that place was a lot of fun. It has all the cards from different series, including anime only ones yet only those from the Tag Force series. It had Xyz, Synchros, Links, and Pendulums. It even had some of the duels that you only get to see in animes such as turbo duels, speed duels, augmented reality duels, action duels and labyrinth duels. It even had capsule monsters and dungeon dice monsters. It was a dream come true for Yu-Gi-Oh! fans and it was fucking awesome! Not to mention space ships that allows you to travel not only in space, but also in many different realities. As for me, I climbed through the ranks, became tougher than the toughies, smarter than the smarties and sharper than the sharpies to become the King of Games. For most of my life in that life, I was at the top of the game and stopped many mystics from creating the shadow games to claim souls for domination over all. It wasn't easy but I've risen above all to stop the Shadow Duelists. Those were one of the best moments of my reincarnation cycle.

But to be honest, I liked the rules before link monsters and the new style of duels came back home. I really hated the new system of play and the format. What's wrong with pendulum monsters having their own zones instead of using the trap and spell card zones? Limiting the amount of spells and traps you can use and the idiotic idea of limiting the amount of cards you use from the extra deck. What a bunch of fucking nonsense. Luckily that world only has that in the speed duels and not with the other duels. Thank the fucking Void for that.

In my fourteenth life, I was in the Pokemon universe. As expected, I grew up as a Pokemon trainer as I started out in the Kanto Region. Yet the world takes place twenty years ahead of any of the games and a little different. The reason being is because that world is not only a mix of different games, but also some of the fan-made ones as well. I fought against many villainous teams, captured many Pokemon, beating gyms left and right for years. Until I made it to the top as Pokemon Master. Afterwards I gotten tired of all my travels and retired to an island along with my Pokemon.

As for my fifteenth life, I ended-up in another universe that focuses on cards. But this time, it was Duel Masters. I knew very little of the series since only two seasons were dubbed and the English line of cards has been discontinued due to lack of popularity. I think that might be the reason. Yet from what I've experienced, Earth became a living hell hole. All five civilizations try to fight for dominance over the planet which resulted in many areas being claimed by fire, nature, darkness, water and light. I was a member of a resistance force that fought against five different factions that use the power of the civilizations to lay claim to those that get in their way. Unfortunately, I lost and died when I was only seventeen when I was facing against my fiercest opponent I had ever had to duel against. Her name, was Alice Illiaster. She was a member of the light civilization faction yet also uses darkness civilization cards as well. Alice crushed me and made my death quick and painless.

Ah crap, I gotta go! Classes are about to start! End of recording!


Emerald Forest, Few Days Later, During RWBY: Grimm Eclipse...

Sometime has past after the breached in Vale. Team RWBY, after some R&R, are taking on another mission to check a disruption in the security network in the Emerald Forest. They traveled there under the guise of Prof. Peter Port in the investigation. Despite some claims that some of the security devices have been disrupted by Grimm, the team suspects that there is something else going on. Peter Port is keeping an eye on them as Team RWBY head out to investigate. While doing so, Ironwood is being called back to Atlas for the election.

As they travel through the forest, Yang says, "Let's start this mission with a Yang!" Yang just love making terrible puns.

They traverse through the forest until they came across some Grimm in a clearing with what looks like abandoned stone roads that are highly infested with the monsters and are overgrown. Just typical Beowolves and Creeps. They jumped down from a ledge they were standing on and attack the Grimm. Ruby moves super fast as she slice through many in her path. Weiss gracefully attacks all the Grimm in her path as she uses her glyphs to dash through them like a hot knife through butter. Some Grimm try to attack Blake, but she uses her shadow to avoid getting hit and easily dispatching her attackers. Yang punches her targets to death and tries to keep up with everyone else's as she completely destroys all the Grimm. They managed to dispatch the Grimm easily.

Port congratulates them on their first success over the ledge, "Nice work, ladies! As you know, we've been having some trouble with the security network in this area. We need boots on the ground to investigate. That means you, Team RWBY! Onward!"

They all head out to find the first detector as they travel through the abandoned road with some ruined columns and other sort of ruins while also dealing with any Grimm that gets in their path. They use team attacks, surprise attacks, range attacks, and anything they can as they kill every Grimm that they come across. After the second battle, Blake looks at the ruins and wonders as she stands in what appears to be some decorative floor that has its edges buried.

"Wonder how old these ruins are." she asks.

"Don't know." Weiss states as she stands next to her, "But they must be over thousands of years old. Possibly before Vale."

Port comes in, "Ah yes, the Emerald Forest is filled with ruins of ancient kingdoms. Keep an eye out for artifacts. Dr. Oobleck is always looking to expand Beacon's collection."

Ruby dashes over to show one of the artifacts, "Like this one?"

The artifact Ruby shows a golden rook chess piece to Port. He takes the artifact and takes a closer examination.

"Ah! An ancient chess piece that we use for initiation. A perfect edition to Beacon's collection."

Yang holds up another artifact, "Found a thingy!"

Yang shows the artifact and it looks like a almost paper thin plate made of emerald that is 3.5 x 2.5 inches. It seems to be raw and unpolished. Port takes a better look at it and, to his eyes, doesn't seem ancient.

"This isn't an artifact." he says, "But it appears to be made completely out of emerald." He holds it to the light and sees something inside. "There appears to be something inside of it, but hard to tell." Port puts it in his pocket, "I'll have Dr. Oobleck check it out later. See if there are anymore like it."

Team RWBY continue to fight as they made their way towards a cave.

Port speaks, "The security control center for this region is in that cave. Go have a look and maybe we can discover what the problem is."

A Creep tries to charge Port from behind but he pointed his gun behind his back and fires. Killing the monster with a single head shot. They cross a wooden bridge and enter the cave. Upon entering, the cave appears to be empty. As in there is nothing inside.

"Hmm..." Port notices something wrong. "Strange. The security control center should be here."

"Are you sure?" Blake asks.

"I'm sure."

Weiss says, "Maybe it was misplaced."

Ruby is pointing at the stalagmites, "Or it's up there."

Everyone looks up and sees the device being held up by chains.

"What the heck?" Yang scratches the back of her head, "How did it get there?!"

"I don't know." Port is perplexed as well, "I don't know."

Yet they hear roars coming from deeper in the cave as wave of Beowolves and Creeps charging right at them.

"Nevermind that! Defend the control center while I get it down and undo the damage. Make sure your weapons are loaded and your mustache wax is stowed! This could get hairy."

Port uses his Blowhard (hehe blowhard) to launch himself up to get the device down. In the meantime, Team RWBY has to deal wave upon wave of weak Grimm as Port chops down the device and tries to repair it. They use combo attacks and team attacks to take down many of the monsters that try to get near Port and the device. Yet while doing the repairs, Port discovered a strange and beaten up metal badge on it along with an identical jewel plate stuck on it. The badge has a hexagon symbol on it along with a stylized M with three dots connected to it. The plate he also found maybe identical, but it appears to be made of rubies hence the reddish color. Despite that, he continues with the repairs.

Yet once the Grimm are gone, Ruby jumps up in excitement, "WE DID IIIIIITTT!"

Yang cracks her shoulders, "That was a good work out."

"I moderately agree." Weiss agrees with Yang.

Blake approaches Prof. Port, "Professor? Is everything alright?"

Port finishes before turning and answering, "Yes indeed. Bravo, team! Bravo! The security network in this region is shipshape once again. I'll get some of our staff to see if they can find anything about this mysterious symbol and these jewel plates." he shows his findings, "Excellent work."


Not so far away, two members of the Evolutionary Volunteer Army are wondering around the Emerald forest to find something that they lost. One is a Ataktos Fuse while the other is a Raub-Kondor armed with a pulse rifle.

The Ataktos Fuse is upset, "I can't believe those idiots lost the Jewel Cards! Soundwave will reduce them to organic scrap if he finds out. And we're the ones stuck looking for them!"

"Keep your emotions in check." the Raub-Kondor speaks in an emotionless tone. "There're still Grimm in the area and best to not to get emotional."

The Ataktos Fuse sighs, "I know, I know. This just sucks."

The two stop in an area where Team RWBY had fought. The Raub-Kondor gets on one knee to the ground and looks at the tracks.

"Huntsmen have been through here." he takes a whiff, "No. Huntresses." He looks around and notices many scorch marks, water marks and shell casings among the tracks. "They fought here. Killing Grimm." He gets back up and looks over one area where Blake was. "One of them found something here. A Faunus judging by the smell. One of them has the card."

"Ah crap." Ataktos gets upset, "Guessing they took it to Beacon. But keep in mind, Hector, they may not find all the cards."

"Whatever Butch."

Butch takes a good look of the area and tries to figure out who are they dealing with. "Four Huntresses. One smell of roses and is younger. Uses a sniper weapon. One has a scent of a Schnee that uses peppermint body wash and has a scent of blueberry yogurt. Possibly frozen. One Faunus girl. Feline-based. Skills of a ninja and smells of fish. Uses a pistol weapon. One uses some luxurious shampoo and conditioner. Strawberry scented. Uses some sort of close range weapon. Uses fist style. And has golden blonde hair."

"How do you know that?"

Butch takes a few steps forward and picks up a few strands of hair from the ground. It is the same type of hair as Yang's. He sniffs it before looking at the direction Team RWBY went.

"That way." he pointed.

The two later entered in a cave where the security network control center is and is fully operational.

"It seems the security network is back online." Hector says with some slight annoyance.

"That's the idea." Butch says as he inspects the device. "The whole point is to create minor distractions and a false lead in case there are any sort of complications. In order to create more of our kind, we need to lure in more Grimm and make more of our people. Judging from this device, it has been repaired very well. Some clues were planted. Another Jewel Card was here as well."

"Ah double shit."

Butch smells the device. "It was repaired by a man. Old age. Huntsmen. Possibly a teacher at Beacon. Has a distinct whiff of some sort wax. The type meant for mustaches."

"I'm guessing Prof. Peter Port. That guy is an arrogant blowhard."

Butch chuckles.

"What's so funny?"

"Blowhard. That's the name of his weapon. And you called him a blowhard."

Hector thinks about it for a few moments before piecing it together. "Oh! I get it! Ha-hahahaha-haaa!" Hector laughed at that remark. "Okay, but let's get back to work. Soundwave will skin our hides if we goof off."

Butch looks at the ground and finds more tracks, "Skinning hides is more of my job. And it looks like we have to continue our search. But if we allow the Huntresses to find them all, we may retrieve them in one swipe."

Hector smiles, "Now we're talkin'. So, where does the trail lead to next?"


A bullhead flies over some ruins in Emerald Forest carrying Team RWBY and Port over towards the next security control center. The bullhead lands as close at it could but due to the amount of Grimm in the area they have to be further away in order to land. Yet where the location where the next device is, Gris places a disruption device on it in the same shape as the badge. Some of the Evolutionaries have captured not only Grimm, but a few animals as well.

"Why are we gathering animals again?" one of the Faunus Evolutionaries asked.

Gris replies, "Because we got that new material that can turn animals into some sort of humanoid called, a Kemono Friend. Leader would like to create these guys for the kids educational program." Gris secretly place a topaz Jewel Card in the device. He smirks a little like a child trying to play a prank.

In the cages, there are some Grimm captured such as Beowolves, Creeps, Boarbatusks, Deathstalkers, and a couple of Goliaths. Yet they also caught deer, squirrels, raccoons, and hawks. These creatures will be transformed into the new humanoids that make-up some of the populace of Enlighten Valley. The Grimm will probably have a chance of becoming Wesen if they ever survive the process. The animals will become Kemono Friends that will bring cheer and joy to children across the valley.

A female Geier scout approach, "Heads up! We got Huntsmen on our tail!"

"Time to go~!" Gris cheerfully sings as he opens his portals, "Now shake a leg and move it!"


AN: Okay, yeah. I was huge Yu-Gi-Oh! dork back in the day when the anime came out. As in the one from the early 2000's, not the original that never got the English dub released obviously. I thought the pendulum monsters were interesting, but when the link monsters showed-up everything went down hill from there. I prefer the third master rules over the new ones they now have become standard. However, thanks to Dueling Nexus, people can choose between the third master rules or the new ones. But sadly, you can't use some of the cards that are now banned. If that's so, how come the AI gets to use them? The AI uses Pot of Greed and Monster Reborn, which are banned and I can't. What a total rip. Well, I found Legacy of the Duelists but I wish there is a mod that lets me use the third master rules over the new format so I can get Linked whatever so I can get new cards to try out. Wish there is a new set of rules where pendulum monsters get their zones back rather than using up the spell and trap card zone.

As for the original Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, DAMN! Wish I saw something like that as a kid. Even though it has to go through many censors (and not the 4Kids bullshit) but still watch it. I mean, 4Kids censored guns and some blood. We got guns and some blood on some of the kid shows we watched back then such as Batman: The Animated Series, Gargoyles, and tons of other shows that appeared at the time. The show focuses more on other games rather than cards. Not to mention the serious shit that goes down in that series. I did watch the sub and I was shocked when I watched it. Plus, Yami Yugi looks evil as hell in that series and I loved it! Also saw the movie and...meh. Although, I realized that Noah Kaiba's design is based-off of Seto Kaiba's original design in the series. Go ahead and watch it if you don't mind the subs...and this one fandub I saw on YouTube. NOT the abriged Four Star one.

Back on topic about the story, I hope you enjoyed. Stay healthy, stay safe and all the other crap which I'm probably sure you're sick and tired of at this point.
