Interlude 1.5 – Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series by Little Kuriboh episode 20, 21 and 22

Weiss was happily hugging her new Kuriboh plushy like it was the most precious thing in the world. Who cares if she had a black-eye, multiple bruises and dirt all over her dress? The little guy was worth all the pain.

The other girls had similar injuries and ice-packs on their heads while they shot jealous-stares at the heiress.

"…Okay, how in the heck did Ice Queen of all people end up with the prize?" Yang asked as she came out of the bathroom.

"You girls were fighting all over the place till you and Nora knocked each other out while Ruby and Blake lost their scuffle with Pyrrha." Ren recounted. "Then Weiss sneaked up on Pyrrha, quickly grabbed the plushy from her before making her fall over by kicking her in the knee."

"In the Schnee you mean." Qrow said amused but Weiss was too busy hugging Kuri to give a damn.

"Am I the only one who noticed none of their Auras or Semblances worked?" Jaune stated as he was holding a rather large ice-pack over Pyrrha's right-knee. "What was up with that?"

"I turned those off because otherwise their fight would have been a little too chaotic." Saixus explained.

"…You can do that?!" Jaune asked in disbelief.

"Look, it would be easier for me to give you a list of all the things I can't do rather than the things I can." Saixus said cryptically.

"Well can you at least fix us up or something!" Nora asked as Ren massaged her sore right-arm. "I never thought a fight without Aura would be so… painful."

"Says the girl who kept pulling my hair!" Blake shouted as she tried to put her hair back into model.

"Well Yang kept pulling mine!" Nora shot back.

"Actually that was Ruby." Ren corrected.

Nora shot an angry glare at the young girl who simply smiled awkwardly as Zwei sat back on her lap.

Deciding the girls had suffered enough, Saixus snapped his fingers to make all the girls injuries disappear.

"Ah, much better." Pyrrha said gratefully before turning to the winner of the bout. "Kicking me in the knee out of nowhere wasn't very sporting of you."

"Worth it." Weiss simply answered as she kept hugging Kuri without a care in the world.

"I do hope you show better sportsmanship during the Vytal Festival, miss Schnee." Ozpin directed at the heiress but honestly, he was currently disappointed in all the female students. "That goes for the rest of you as well. Surely you girls could have thought of a better way to solve your problem then to fight it out."

"But that wouldn't have been nearly as much fun!" Yang complained.

Ozpin sighed. "I'm starting to think you inherited more from your uncle then you did your father."

"Hey!" Qrow felt insulted.

Ruby looked jealous at Weiss and her new plushy. "I really wanted that plushy."

"You have Stardust." Weiss said back without even looking at her.

"But that little Kuriboh's cute too!" Ruby said like a five-year old.

"Speaking of Little Kuriboh." Saixus spoke up to catch everyone's attention. "Since you guys kept asking me about the abridged-universe, I've decided to postphone the second interlude. Instead I'll show you all three full episodes from the abridged-universe!"

"…What does that have to do with a Kuriboh?" Nora asked confused but nobody answered.

Hearing that they were gonna watch more of the abridged-universe was enough to make Weiss finally get her attention away from Kuriboh and look deadpanned at Saixus.

"Really? We're gonna watch more of that… nonsensical universe?"

"I have no problem with that." Yang said with a grin. "Those few moments we saw were pretty funny."

"There was nothing funny about… hearing an eye get popped out of a person's skull!" Weiss shot back while trying to block off any mental images.

"By the way, these episodes will take place shortly after Duelist Kingdom but before the official start of season 2." Saixus answered as he loaded up the first episode. "Now, let us begin."

---

YGOTAS Episode 20 - The Rebexorcist

"The what?" Ruby asked with a tiled head.

"It's probably a play on words with someone's name and the word exorcist." Yang guessed.

Weiss scoffed at this. "Please, exorcists are not nothing more than charlatans who trick gullible idiots into wasting their hard-earned money."

"Bakura could really use one though." Nora pointed out, which the Ice Queen couldn't deny.

The scene starts at the Domino City hospital as an instrumental of "Up Where We Belong" plays.

YUGI: Grandpa! You're okay!

GRANDPA: Yugi! Come give your grandpa a big hug!

"Yay, mister Muto back on his feet!" Ruby cheered.

Yang was also happy to see this. "Let's hope he doesn't have to visit the hospital again any time soon."

TÉA: (sniff) It's so emotional!

Ruby was smiling rainbows at the happy reunion. Some of the others couldn't help but smile either though they were a bit taking back by Téa's voice.

YUGI: Gramps, you don't blame me for everything that happened to you, do you?

GRANDPA: Yes.

And just like that, Ruby smile faded out of existence while Yang, Nora and Qrow laughed hard. "B-But what happened to you wasn't his fault!" She crossed her arms in anger. "I'm starting to think this universe isn't as funny as I first thought."

"Welcome to my world." Weiss said, a little surprised Ruby came to that conclusion so quickly.

Opening title sequence.

"I have no idea what they just sang, but that was a great opening!" Nora exclaimed.

Later, by a sidewalk in Domino City.

GRANDPA: I'm so proud of you, Yugi. You rescued my soul, and you became the King of Card Games! By the way, what happened to Bakura?

JOEY: Oh, we left him back on the island! (laughs)

"They did WHAT?!" Ruby, Weiss, Pyrrha and Jaune yelled at the same time while Ren, Blake and Ozpin looked at the screen wide-eyed. Nora, Yang and Qrow simply laughed again.

Back at Duelist Kingdom.

BAKURA: (echoing) Hello? Anybody? I want to go home!

"What kind of friends are they?!" Ruby asked frantically. "You don't just abandon your buddy on a random island!"

"Maybe they figured out Bakura is possessed by an evil spirit and that's why they left him?" Nora theorized but continued snickering.

Saixus decided to speak up. "Keep in mind that the abridged-universe tends to… deviate from the former. In that universe, Bakura simply returned home with the others."

Back in Domino City.

YUGI: Now that you're out of the hospital, you can go back to running that worthless card-game shop that nobody ever visits. The basement has seemed so empty without you.

"Wow, little Yugi is kind of a dick in this universe." Yang said between laughs.

UNKNOWN GIRL: Hello!

YUGI: Who's that?

A young girl with blonde hair in pigtails appeared, holding a teddy bear while music from 'The Exorcist' is played.

Ruby blinked at the girl on screen before turning to her sister. She turned to the screen again and then looked back at her sister.

"…What?" Yang asked her younger sibling.

"O-Oh nothing!" Ruby said hastily. "It's just… this girl's hairstyle reminds me of the pigtails you used to have when we were little."

"You had pigtails?" Weiss and Pyrrha asked at the same time.

"Man, that was forever ago." Qrow recalled. "Hers were hanging down though instead of sticking right up."

Yang rubbed her head awkwardly. "Yeaaah, really thankful I grew out of that phase."

"Am I the only one whose really creeped out by the music?" Jaune asked nobody in particular.

UNKNOWN GIRL: (giggles) My name's Rebecca. I'm eight years old, and I'm the number one ranked duelist in America!

"Wow, that's impressive." Pyrrha admitted even though she had no idea what America was.

JOEY: That's impossible! Only grown-ups are allowed to play children's card-games.

Weiss sighed. "The worst part is that I have no idea if he's being serious or not."

REBECCA: I'm looking for Solomon Moto.

YUGI: Who the hell is Solomon Moto?

Weiss face-palmed.

TÉA: Yugi, that's your grandpa.

YUGI: He has a name?!

She did it again.

SOLOMON: Hello, little girl. If you're trying to get into my will, you'd better hurry up. I could drop dead at any second... with any luck.

"…What in Oum's name is wrong with everyone in this universe?!" Weiss shouted as she fell the need to stress-hug Kuri… so she did.

REBECCA: You stole my Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

"He did?!" Ruby questioned in shock before turning to Saixus. "I thought you said he got that card from a dear friend!"

"He did." Saixus confirmed.

"Then why's this Rebecca-girl claiming he stole it from her?" Blake questioned.

"It will all be explained later."

TRISTAN: Aww, she's so cute!

"She's not THAT cute." Yang said. Seeing Rebecca made her really glad she got rid of her pigtails years ago.

"Well her teddy bear is kind of cute." Nora admitted while hugging her own plushy Archfiend before snickering. "Also, Tristan's voice in this universe is the best!"

TEDDY BEAR: (speaking with a distorted voice) ShE WAsN't taLKinG To yOU!

The Remnantians shot to the back of their seats because of Teddy's distorted voice.

"What the Oum was that?!" Weiss shouted as shivers went all over her body.

JOEY: Nyeh! The bear is possessed!

"IT IS?!" Ruby shouted in fear while hugging Zwei and Stardust as close to her as she could.

"Okay never mind what I said before, that thing's pure evil!" Nora yelled, as she too was hugging Archfiend tightly.

REBECCA: (giggles) Don't be silly. It's just a regular teddy bear.

Yang did not believe her for a single second. "Yeah, I'm pressing doubt on that sentence."

YUGI: Well, okay, but it did seem kind of like-

TEDDY BEAR: yoU'LL Be tHe fiRsT tO DiE!(Yugi and others stare at Rebecca and the bear)

The watchers shivered again while Nora, Ruby and Weiss were now looking uncomfortably at their own huggable-pets.

Saixus rolled his eyes. "I assure you girls, there are no evil spirits inside your stuffed Duel Monsters."

"I-I knew that!" Weiss yelled undignified before looking at Kuri. She then smiled and hugged the little guy again. No way something this cute could ever be evil.

REBECCA: I want you to return the card you stole from me.

SOLOMON: You'll never get it back! It's mine! Mine, I tell you!

Jaune was surprised by Solomon's reaction. "Wait, is he admitting that-"

YUGI: What my grandpa's trying to say is that he would never steal a card from another duelist. You must be mistaken.

SOLOMON: It's mine! All mine!

Yang laughed again. "Okay, forget what I said earlier. They probably should have left Solomon back at the hospital."

"Yang!" Ruby shouted at her sister's rather cold statement.

REBECCA: I don't believe you. I challenge you to a duel, old man, and if I win, I get back the Blue-Eyes you stole from me!

SOLOMON: Bring it on, you little bi-

YUGI: Grandpa, no!

Yang, Nora and Qrow laughed while the rest of the watchers were glad Yugi cut his grandpa off.

YUGI: You just got out of the hospital! You're in no fit state to play a harmless children's card-game!

"To be fair, the last time mister Muto played this game, he ended up in a hospital bed." Blake put in.

YUGI: I'll duel her in your place.

REBECCA: Fine by me! I'll win either way! Isn't that right, Teddy?

TEDDY BEAR: YoUr moTHEr plAYs cArd_gamEs iN HEll! (Yugi and others stare at Rebecca and the bear…)

YUGI: O...kay...

The others were once again shaken by the bear's demonic voice.

"Can someone throw that bear in the trash already!" Yang yelled.

"But then the bear might come back for revenge!" Ruby exclaimed. "Just like that plushy Ursa in the Grimmjuring!"

"Okay are you even old enough to watch those movies?" Weiss asked like a stern mother… which would have been more effective if she didn't hold Kuri in a tight embrace.

We then move to KaibaLand.

MALE CHILD: Look, Daddy! It's a Blue-Eyes! A real one!

"Woah!" Ruby said star-struck. "It's a Duel Monsters theme-park!"

"Yep, welcome to KaibaLand." Saixus revealed.

"…KaibaLand?" Weiss repeated with a frown. "First that arena in the future and now this!"

"Hey if I were as rich as he is, I would create my own theme-park too!" Nora admitted. "I would call it ValkyrieLand and everyone who enters would get a free hammer!"

FATHER: It's just a statue, you ignorant child. By the way, the Easter Bunny isn't real either, and I'm not even your real father. (child starts crying)

"How to ruin a kid's childhood in two sentences." Qrow said while the others frowned at the child's not-father.

"What exactly is an Easter Bunny though?" Pyrrha asked.

"The Easter Bunny is a mascot for a holiday called Easter." Saixus explained. "On that day, the Easter Bunny goes around hiding chocolate eggs in houses and gardens that little children have to find."

"That sounds awesome!" Ruby and Nora exclaimed at the same time while both secretly wondering if Velvet was hiding some of those in her room.

ANOTHER MALE CHILD: Oh, wow! A theme-park based around a children's card-game! This is the most absurd concept ever!

Weiss agreed. "He's not wrong. Building an entire theme-park based around a card-game is a terrible business idea. The park might be popular at first but once the game's popularity starts to die out, nobody will want to visit anymore."

Blake understood Weiss' point, but… "To be fair, the game still seemed pretty popular in the future."

"Yeah, even the cops play it!" Nora reminded them.

"…They did so outside of work-hours, right?" Ozpin asked but nobody answered. "…Right?"

The group goes to the lobby, where Mokuba happens to be waiting.

YUGI: Hey, Mokuba. Do you mind if we play a card-game here?

"At this point it's pretty safe to say that all of Pegasus' victims have recovered." Blake stated while Yang was especially glad to see Seto's younger brother up and about.

MOKUBA: Sorry, Yugi. We're fully booked. But since you saved my immortal soul from the clutches of an evil mastermind, I suppose I can allow it just this once.

"Yeah, you and Seto do kind of own them a few favors." Jaune admitted.

YUGI: Wow! You can do that?

MOKUBA: My brother is Seto Kaiba. I can decide who lives and who dies.

Weiss rolled her eyes "Oh please. Nobody has that kind of authority."

'Tell that to Ironwood.' Saixus bitterly thought to himself.

Later, in one of the Duel-Arenas.

REBECCA: I summon Witch of the Black Forest!

A purple-haired witch in dark clothes appeared on the duel arena.

YUGI: I summon Disgruntled Celtic Guardian!

"Disgruntled?" Nora repeated with a tilted head. "What's that mean?"

"It means being mad or dissatisfied about something." Ren answered.

"Well, that Guardian does seem rather angry." Pyrrha admitted.

SOLOMON: That's strange. This card-game seems awfully familiar. Rebecca, what's your last name?

REBECCA: If you must know, it's Hawkins. And yes, my grandfather is Professor Arthur Hawkins, the man you betrayed!

TRISTAN: Holy [bleep] on a [bleep] sandwich with [bleep] on top! ...And a side helping of [bleep].

Most of the audience erupted in laughter while some like Weiss, Ren, Blake and Ozpin tried not to… and were failing.

Nora took a deep breath and yelled "The censors made it worse!"

Yang slowly started to breathe again and said "Okay… that was without a doubt the funniest moment we've seen so far. Heck, it even got a chuckle out of Ice Queen."

"Wha- no it didn't!" She lied.

YUGI: My grandpa would never do something like that!

REBECCA: It's the truth! The voices in my head told me so!

Blake frowned at the 8-year old's answer. "So now she's just admitting that she's insane?"

REBECCA: Isn't that right, Teddy?

TEDDY BEAR: HaiL SATaN!

For just a split-second Ozpin thought the bear said 'Hail Salem'.

"Hail who now?" Nora questioned, being unfamiliar with the bible.

"Basically this world's, and many other worlds, equivalent to the god of Darkness." Saixus answered.

Even though none of the students were devoted believers, they did know the story of how the god of Darkness supposedly created the Grimm.

Qrow and Ozpin were surprised that Saixus knows about the brother gods, the latter of which deeply wondering what else the man knew.

SOLOMON: Rebecca, please! Your grandfather and I were very close.

Begin flashback.

SOLOMON: (voice-over) We met in Egypt on an archaeological dig, where we bonded over our mutual hatred of young people.

Ruby turned to her sister. "We're not that bad, are we?"

"No Ruby, mister Muto's just being a grumpy granddad." Yang answered.

SOLOMON: He also shared with me some very controversial theories.

ARTHUR: I believe that the ancient Egyptians used to play Yu-Gi-Oh in their spare time.

"…Okay when you say it like that, it does sound kinda ridiculous." Yang admitted.

"Thank you!" Weiss said in appreciation. Just because she had accepted this as fact, didn't mean she was above pointing out how ludicrous it still is.

"Yu-Gi-Oh?" Ruby repeated while in the back of her head remembering that Saixus used that name before. "I thought this game was called Duel Monsters?"

"It is but Yu-Gi-Oh is the name my people assigned to these universes, and the card-game as well to some extent." Saixus explained.

"Wait, so your people named multiple universes after young Yugi?" Ozpin couldn't help but ask.

Blake shrugged her shoulders. "Makes sense to name a universe after the main-character."

Yang whistled and couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous of Yugi. "Damn, imagine being so awesome people name entire universes after you."

Ruby on the other hand shivered. "I think I'd die from embarrassment if someone named a universe after me!"

Saixus wisely decided not to mention the name of their universe.

YOUNGER SOLOMON: Pull the other one!

ARTHUR: No, really. I mean it.

YOUNGER SOLOMON: Next you'll be telling me that the Romans played Pokémon!

"Pokémon?" Ruby questioned.

Saixus gave the abridged-version (Ironic, isn't it?). "Another series of universes where children who turn 10 go on an adventure across the land to capture wild creatures with unique abilities like breathing fire, shooting electricity, poison-powder and then have those creatures fight each-other in a variety of contests."

"They make innocent animals fight each-other?!" Ruby said with horrified eyes. "Who would wanna do such a terrible thing?!"

"And what kind of parents would be fine with their 10-year old child going out on their own in a world filled with such dangerous creatures?" Pyrrha asked abhorrent.

"Look, the Pokémon-universes are some that are better not questioned too much." Saixus advised.

"Like the ones we're watching now?" Weiss asked deadpanned.

"Exactly."

ARTHUR: Look at this card, Solomon. (shows him the Giant Soldier of Stone-card) See how it barely resembles these ancient hieroglyphs.

"Barely?" Qrow repeated. "Those two pictures are practically the same!"

'If Oobleck were here, he would be thrilled to see another universe's ancient past.' Ozpin thought to himself.

YOUNGER SOLOMON: My God, you're right! This could revolutionize the field of Egyptology... somehow.

SOLOMON: (voice-over) Just then, the tomb collapsed around us. We had been trapped inside a cold and desolate place far from human contact, but since we were both very old, we were used to that sort of thing.

Some of the watchers laughed while others were worried about how Solomon and Arthur were gonna get out of those ruins.

Ruby meanwhile was suddenly feeling worried that maybe their father was feeling the same way now that she and Yang were both out of the house.

'Note to self, call dad this weekend.'

ARTHUR: I say, Solomon, let's have a card-game to decide which one of us gets to live.

"What?!" Jaune asked in shock. "Why would he propose something like that?!"

"I feel like we're missing some important context here." Blake stated.

"Long story short, the two of them only have a very limited supply of water and if they split it up between them, then they're both likely to die." Saixus explained. "So instead they're gonna have a duel and whoever wins gets to keep the water all to themselves."

YOUNGER SOLOMON: That's the sickest thing I've ever heard.

"Agreed." Weiss said, being absolutely repulsed by Arthur's idea. "I get that they're in a desperate situation, but surely there's a better way to handle the water-issue then to bet it all on a card-"

YOUNGER SOLOMON: Let's do it!

Weiss face-palmed.

End Flashback.

REBECCA: I am so sick of your lying lies, you big fat liar!

"What reason could mister Muto possibly have for lying?" Jaune asked.

"That kid is really stuck in her own little world." Yang shook her head.

TÉA: Shut up, you hussy!

"Téa!" Pyrrha yelled out, shocked by Téa's insult. "She's still an 8-year old girl!"

'She's not wrong though.' Qrow thought to himself.

TÉA: Yugi's grandpa would never lie! He's the wisest man I've ever met!

SOLOMON: Where am I? What day is it? I like pudding.

"Okay forget going back to the hospital, he needs to be put in a home." Yang said between giggles.

REBECCA: I sacrifice all of my monsters in order to power up my Shadow Ghoul!

Shadow Ghoul was shown to be a green-being with multiple red-eyes and four legs.

"How many more nightmarish monsters am I gonna be exposed too?" Weiss asked in despair, though the Thousand-Eyes Restrict was still easily at the top of her list.

GRANDPA: Hmm.

Begin flashback.

YOUNGER SOLOMON: I surrender, Arthur.

End flashback.

YUGI: You win, Rebecca. I surrender.

THE OTHERS: Nyeh!

"Wait what?!" Nora asked in shock. "Why did they surrender?!"

"Maybe they didn't have any more moves to make?" Jaune proposed.

Ozpin hummed. "Something tells me that's not it."

REBECCA: I won. Now hand over my card!

GRANDPA: If you insist. (shows the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card taped together)

REBECCA: You tore it! You ruined the collector's value! How am I going to sell it on eBay now?

"YOU ONLY WANTED THAT CARD JUST TO SELL IT?!" Ruby yelled in disbelief.

Yang agreed with her sister. "Jeez, this girl is an even bigger brat then Weiss."

"HEY!"

REBECCA: Satan will be very angry!

Again, Ozpin flinched at how close that name sounded to Salem.

ARTHUR: Rebecca, behave yourself!

REBECCA: Grandpa!

SOLOMON: Arthur, is that really you?

ARTHUR: Yes. I've decided to show up at the last minute in order to tie up all the loose ends.

"As much as I appreciate that, couldn't you have shown up a little sooner!" Weiss berated the old archeologist.

ARTHUS: Rebecca, did you know that Yugi actually won the duel?

REBECCA: Grandpa, I won!

ARTHUR: Take a look at this card. It's called Soul Release. If Yugi had played this, you would have lost.

"Wait, Yugi would have won if he played that card?" Ruby asked.

"He would have yes." Saixus confirmed. "See, Shadow Ghoul gets a 100 points stronger for each monster in its owner's graveyard. But with Soul Release, Yugi can choose up to 5 cards in either players graveyard and remove them from play. In other words, had he used that card, he could have weakened Shadow Ghoul enough to not only destroy it with his Dark Magician, but wipe out the rest of Rebecca's life-points as well."

"Then why did he surrender?" Weiss asked.

"Maybe because he wanted to teach Rebecca something that he couldn't have done if he won?" Pyrrha guessed.

REBECCA: But he didn't play it! He surrendered!

ARTHUR: Yes, but he could have won. Therefore, he was the winner.

"That's… not how it works…" Weiss felt the need to point out. "Yugi surrendering still technically counts as a win."

"Yeah, a pity win." Yang grunted with her arms crossed.

REBECCA: But Yugi lost!

ARTHUR: And that is why he won.

REBECCA/Weiss: What?!

ARTHUR: Allow me to make things even more confusing for you.

"They weren't confusing enough already?!" Jaune asked befuddled.

ARTHUR: You see, when Solomon lost the duel, he did so in order to save my life!

"He did?" Ruby questioned.

Saixus nodded. "Yep, Solomon decided to throw the duel so that Arthur would get the water."

"Lowering his own survival chances in order to increase those of his friend." Pyrrha summarized while feeling proud at Solomon for his selfless act. "That was really noble of him."

Begin flashback.

YOUNGER ARTHUR: Solomon, you shouldn't have surrendered.

YOUNGER SOLOMON: I wish I knew how to quit you!

"Too bad this universe doesn't showcase his nobility very well." Yang snickered while Pyrrha sighed.

End flashback.

ARTHUR: Even though I sacrificed monsters during my duel with Solomon, I never failed to honor their sacrifice. You see, Rebecca, with great cards comes great responsibility.

Qrow rubbed the back of his head. "I feel like that's a reference to something but I don't know what."

REBECCA: I'm sorry, Yugi.

YUGI: That's okay. Here, take this card that I won. (The Ties of Friendship is shown) I didn't even want it anyway.

"Wow, some gift." Nora said sarcastically.

"He actually got that card for winning Duelist Kingdom." Saixus triviad. "It was never shown what that card does though."

REBECCA: Does this make me the King of Card-Games?

YUGI/Yang: Hell no!

TRISTAN: Isn't anybody else worried about the evil teddy bear?

"I am!" Ruby admitted.

ARTHUR: What evil teddy bear?

Music from 'Psycho' plays as the screen focuses on Rebecca's teddy bear.

The watchers shivered as the camera zoomed in on the plushy animal.

"I will never look at teddy bears the same way again!" Nora claimed.

"What about the plushy you're currently holding?" Ren asked.

"Archie here's a dragon, not a bear, silly Ren." Nora answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Ending

Post-Ending: Duelist Kingdom, overhead shot

BAKURA: (off-screen, echoing) Hello? Is there anybody out there? I'm still stuck on this bloody island! Why doesn't anybody answer? (roaring noise) Oh, look! A kitty cat. Hello there, kitty! (roar) Oh, no! Don't do that! Bugger off, kitty! (sniff)

Nora, Yang and Qrow laughed out loud again while the others tried to suppress their giggles.

YGOTAS Episode 21 - Massively Multiplayer Online Children's Card Game

"That's a heck of a long title." Qrow commented.

"Wait, there's an online version of this game?" Ruby asked curiously.

"There are but that's unrelated to the current episode." Saixus answered.

The scene starts at KaibaCorp where Seto's currently confronting the Big Five.

KAIBA: I can't believe the five of you tried to take over my company.

"Oh, that's right!" Pyrrha spoke up. "Kaiba's board-members also conspired with Pegasus."

"Which they're most certainly regretting right now." Qrow assumed with a bit of a smirk. "These guys must have been pretty mad when Pegasus let those two go."

"Their entire take-over plan got ruined because their co-conspirator lost a card-game." Weiss deadpanned. "I'd be more surprised if they weren't mad."

MOKUBA: And don't forget how they kidnapped me!

KAIBA: Yeah, that too.

Yang's respect for the self-proclaimed number one duelist took a bit of a hit. "Wow, I am so glad he has his priorities straight."

"Well, I guess the one in this universe doesn't." Jaune commented.

GANSLEY: Mr. Kaiba, please let us explain. We were just pretending to work for Pegasus.

Weiss shook her head. "Do they seriously think such a pathetic excuse will wo-"

KAIBA: I instantly forgive you.

"WHAT?!" The heiress shouted frantically while the others watched wide-eyed.

KAIBA: But I'm still pretty sore about that whole trying to kill me thing.

Weiss was fuming at Seto's stupidity.

"Okay, did he seriously forgive those farts for not only trying to steal his company but kidnapping his brother as well?" Qrow asked with a similar look of disbelief. "Because from what we've seen of Kaiba till now, he's far from a forgiving individual."

"Especially when his brother's involved." Yang added, feeling undeniable anger at Kaiba's decision.

"Well in the other universe he was actually about to fire them right then and there-"

"Just fire them?" Weiss asked in disbelief. "That should be the least of their worries! Kidnapping a child AND attempting an assassination should have seem them rot in prison!"

Saixus continued like he hadn't heard her. "But he became a bit… distracted."

"By… what?" Blake hesitatingly asked, but the video continued.

JOHNSON: By the way, we've finished work on your new virtual card-game system.

"A video-game…" Weiss said with a twitching left-eye. "He became distracted… by a video-game…"

"Yeah… and unlike his lack of care for Mokuba in this universe, this actually happens in both." Saixus answered.

Weiss was practically using her only recently acquired Kuriboh-plushy as a stress-ball.

Yang was not far behind. "Never thought Kaiba could get distracted by video-games as easily as Ruby."

"Hey! You get distracted by them too!"

JOHNSON: Feel free to test it out... if you dare!

"Well that was not ominous at all." Blake said sarcastically.

KAIBA: 'Kay, thanks.

MOKUBA: Wait, Seto! It's clearly a trap! Why're you being so gullible and out of character?

Qrow agreed. "Mokuba just summed up our thoughts in a single sentence."

Ruby however was more focused on the Virtual Reality Pod that was currently on screen. "What… is that?"

Saixus smirked. "That, my curious friend, is a Virtual Reality Pod, designed by Seto Kaiba himself. It's a machine he's been working on for several years, and with it you can transfer your own consciousness into a virtual-reality world."

"You mean… it's a video-game… THAT YOU CAN LITERALLY ZAP YOURSELF INSIDE OF?!" Forget star-struck, Ruby was practically drooling.

Yang was on the exact same wavelength as her sister. "Okay, THAT has GOT to be the AWESOMEST gaming-system I've EVER heard off!"

"No kidding…" Even long-time gamer Qrow had to admit Kaiba's machine sounded awesome as heck. "Depending on how good the quality of the virtual-world is, this thing can practically make Kaiba millions of lien."

"Which I can only assume is how much this device must have cost." Weiss argued, not sure if she was on board with Kaiba's invention. "But transferring your consciousness inside of a video-game? Even if that were possible, did he take all the necessary safety-checks? This device basically puts your soul inside a digital-system! Literally a million things can go wrong with that!"

"Weiss, please don't ruin this for me." Ruby told the heiress even though her attention was fully on the screen. "I need to make mental-notes so that this machine can be built during my life-time!"

While Ozpin smiled at Ruby's youthful optimism, he found himself agreeing more with Weiss. Sure, using a Virtual Reality System like this could be perfect for huntsmen-training. It would save him and the school a lot of money on not just fixing the arena after a brawl, but also ammunition. Not to mention that if the Grimm could be programmed into the virtual-world, they wouldn't have to go out of their way to try and catch the damn things.

But as great as those prospects sound, the risks were simply too great. A bad connection could end up permanently separating a person's consciousness from their body. And how would battle-damage in the virtual-world be reflected on the mind? There were simply too many things that could go wrong with this. Not to mention that even though this kind of training could help hone a huntsman's mind, since their actual body is not moving one inch, no matter how long they spend training in there, their physique would not increase one bit.

The fact that the machine on screen was also reminding Ozpin a lot of the device Amber is currently stuck in did not help.

KAIBA: (climbs into VR pod) Initiate log-on sequence.

Inside the video-game.

COMPUTER: (modem dial-up noises) We're sorry. The server you're attempting to join is currently experiencing loading issues. Please stand by until we correct this problem.

Ruby's smile fell instantly. "OH COME ON! These guys have such advanced gaming-technology, but there are still server-issues!"

"Different tech, same problems." Yang commented with a frown.

SUBTITLE: Several hours later...

"SEVERAL HOURS?!" Nora shouted out. "If I have to wait that long just to play a game then I'd demand my money back!"

"Does that mean Kaiba was flying through that connection-stream the entire time?" Jaune questioned. "Geez, he most have been bored out of his mind."

KAIBA: (teleports into a forest) Once I've finished playing this childish video-game, I'll arrest those guys for trying to murder me.

"You should have done that BEFORE entering the video-game!" Weiss shouted.

Back at the laboratory.

MOKUBA: Wake up, Seto, it's time for my story.

Qrow snickered. "How old is this kid again?"

MOKUBA: Hello?

JOHNSON: Your brother can't hear you anymore. We've made him addicted to online gaming.

MOKUBA: You bastards!

Now it was Yang's turn to snicker. "Okay, I would have paid money to hear Ruby swear like that when she was as small as Mokuba."

"That's what you're currently focused on?" Weiss asked deadpanned. "Not the fact that Kaiba's currently stuck in a video-game?!"

"I mean… I can think of worse places to get stuck in..." Ruby whispered to herself.

KEMO: Attention, duelists. My hair will huff, and my hair will puff, and my hair will blow your house in.

And to make it three for three, Nora snickered. "What kind of hair does this guy have?!"

KEMO: Huh?

SECURITY GUARD 1: He's escaped!

SECURITY GUARD 2: He must have crawled through the ventilation shaft.

"Yay! Mokuba got away!" Ruby cheered while Saixus did his best not to make an Among Us-reference.

"The kid was kidnapped only recently. There's no way he was gonna get caught again so soon after." Jaune said, not realizing the irony of that statement.

KEMO: (speaking on a phone) Hey, Mom! You'll never guess what just happened. Oh, hi Dad. Can you put Mom on the line? What do you mean, "she's asleep"? Wake her up, then!

The students laughed a bit at the exchange.

Later, Inside Solomon's game-shop.

JOEY: Okay, gramps. Hand over all your money, and Tristan won't have to break your kneecaps.

Yang took a double-take in. "Uhm excuse me, what the fu-"

SOLOMON: Whoever you are, please don't hurt me.

Yang cut off her own swear with a face-palm. "Again, needs to put in a home."

MOKUBA: (stumbles in groaning) I'm wet in more ways than one.

"EW! Ruby shouted. "We did not need to know that!"

Later, in Yugi's living-room.

YUGI: Your brother's been kidnapped?!

MOKUBA: Yes. That is exactly what I've just finished telling you.

"This is no time to be sarcastic Mokie!" Yang berated.

"I think the term you're looking for is passive aggressive." Blake corrected.

MOKUBA: I didn't know who else to turn to. So I came here.

Weiss let out a frustrated sigh. "Guess calling the police never crossed his mind."

"I don't think that would have worked." Pyrrha admitted. "It would be Mokuba's word against that of five very influential individuals."

Qrow agreed with the red-head. "And telling the cops that your brother's stuck in a video-game would only end up getting you send to a mental-asylum."

JOEY: Forget about it! There's no way we're helping your brother. He smells like wee-wee.

"I think you're getting Seto and Mokuba mixed up." Yang laughed at her own little joke.

MOKUBA: But he's been trapped inside a video-game world where monsters are-

JOEY: Did you just say video-game?

MOKUBA: Yes. But it's very dangerous-

YUGI: Come on, let's go play the video-game! Anything to take a break from these crappy card-games.

Nora and some others laughed out loud while Weiss face-palmed again. "Okay, if I was stuck playing the same card-game over and over again, I would also jump at the chance to try something else!"

Ruby agreed with JNPR's powerhouse. "Not to mention we're talking about a virtual-world simulator! Who wouldn't wanna play something like that?!"

YUGI: Bye, gramps. You'd better have that money when we get back.

SOLOMON: I'm going to die of pneumonia. Hooray!

"…The people in this universe are weird." Qrow deadpanned to which Ozpin nodded.

Later, at KaibaCorp.

TÉA: Erm... Yugi, before you go, there's something I need to tell you.

Blake's shipping senses were tingling.

YUGI: Don't worry, Téa. I know all about it.

TÉA: Really?

YUGI: Yeah. You're in love with me, right?

Blake was focusing on the screen more and more.

TÉA: Actually, I'm in love with your sexy alter ego.

And just like that, Blake's new ship sank… kind off… she wasn't a 100% sure.

"Damn, that's a pride-crusher right there." Nora said with a grin.

'Why does love have to be so complicated.' Jaune thought while Pyrrha was staring at him, wondering what was going through his head.

YUGI: Oh! (pauses) Well, this is kind of awkward.

Qrow agreed. "I'd start heading into that virtual-world if I were you."

JOEY: Bye, darling.

TRISTAN: Ix-nay on the arling-day.

Weiss didn't know what to think of Joey and Tristan's conversation so she switched to a different topic. "Is it really a good idea to go into a virtual-world that's under the control of five power-hungry shareholders?"

"Well they can't just leave Kaiba trapped in there either." Yang spoke up.

Inside video-game, misty forest.

YUGI: This virtual-world Kaiba created is super special awesome!

"Yes it is!" Ruby agreed. "It's like they're walking through a real forest!"

"Hey Ice Queen, if you're not gonna tell those nerds at Atlas to build some Duel-Disks for us, can you at least tell them to make something like this?" Yang proposed.

"…Maybe if it's for training-purposes…" Weiss said deep in thought.

YUGI: It's like walking into an episode of ReBoot.

"What the heck is ReBoot?" Qrow asked the intruder.

"I have no fucking idea." Saixus answered honestly.

A bit later, graveyard.

KEY MACE: Hello!

JOEY: Nyeh?

KEY MACE: Hey! Listen! Hey! Listen! Hey! Listen! Hey! Listen! (repeats)

"That is one annoying fairy." Nora stated while Ruby shivered at the graveyard-background.

JOEY: Man, this fairy is really annoying. Let's kill it.

"Isn't that a little over the top?" Pyrrha asked. She knew it was technically not a real fairy, but still.

"Not unless that's literally all that fairy ever says." Nora answered.

JOEY: (gives chase) Get back here, you. I'm gonna rip your wings off with a pair of tweezers! Damn, it got away.

MOKUBA: Look! It's Agrabah. Let's go find the genie voiced by Robin Williams and occasionally by Dan Castellaneta. He'll save my brother!

"Am I the only one whose getting tired of hearing references but am unable to place them?" Qrow complained.

"Luckily for you, this is one I actually know." Saixus started. "Mokuba's referencing Disney's Aladdin. It's a pretty great movie about a street-dweller named Aladdin, who falls in love with a princess named Jasmine. But Al fears that he has no chance with Jasmine since, as a princess, she's supposed to marry a prince. But later in the story, Aladdin finds a lamp with a blue-colored magic genie inside it that grants him any three wishes."

The students were listening intensely while Ozpin blinked at how familiar this lamp was sounding.

"Eventually, Aladdin admits the truth to Jasmine but she still loves him and her father agrees to let the two marry since Aladdin did kind of save the entire world from a power-obsessed lunatic." Saixus spoiled. "He then uses his final wish to give the genie his freedom, eventually marries Jasmine and they all live happily ever after."

"That sounds like a great movie!" Ruby beamed.

"It is one of my favorite Disney-movies." Saixus admitted before looking down a little remembering the guy who made the movie so great. You're greatly missed Robin Williams. You will always be missed...

Inside video-game, arena.

YUGI: What the hell are YOU doing here, Mai?

"What the hell is she doing there?" Yang repeated, not because she had a problem with Mai… anymore, but because she literally appeared in the last place she'd expect to find her.

MAI: I've been beta-testing this game for KaibaCorp.

"WHAT KIND OF VOICE IS THAT?!" Yang asked before going into full-on laughter along with the others, save for Ren, Blake, Weiss and Ozpin who did have to fight back a snicker or two.

YUGI: That's just about the least likely story I've ever heard.

Trying to keep her dignity, Weiss resisted a snicker and said "He's not wrong. Mai suddenly being there is just too random."

"I think you mean overly convenient." Qrow corrected.

Back at KaibaCorp.

TRISTAN: I've been thinking. What if we're all part of some enormous virtual-world? What if we exist in a fictional-universe created by some Japanese guy who likes card-games?

TÉA: Tristan, that is without a doubt the dumbest thing you've ever said.

"Can't disagree with her." Weiss said as she shook her head

Qrow agreed with Téa as well. "Can I have whatever he's having?"

"But what if what he's saying is true?" Nora questioned. "In fact, what if we're all part of some virtual-world too? What if we exist in a fictional-universe created by some guys who really like to see teenagers fight giant monsters?"

Weiss looked deadpanned at Nora and said "I'm gonna quote Téa on this one: Nora, that is without a doubt the dumbest thing you've ever said."

"Doesn't mean it can't be true!" Nora argued while the others Remnantians shook their heads at Nora's randomness while Saixus was sweating buckets.

KEMO: (off-screen) And so then I said "attention, duelists!" Man, you should've been there.

"Why do I get the feeling this guy uses the phrase 'attention, duelists!' every time he's on screen?" Blake asked.

TRISTAN: (singing) Uh-oh. We're in trouble. Something's come along and its burst our bubble.

TÉA: (singing) Yeah, yeah!

'Why did they sing that?' Was everyone's thoughts on that scene.

Meanwhile, inside the video-game, labyrinth.

ADENA: Hello. I'm Princess Adena.

Everyone stared at the cross-dressed Mokuba in shock.

"…Is that an NPC that looks like Mokuba in a princess-dress?" Ren asked.

"…Apparently yes." Ozpin answered.

JOEY: This is just wrong.

MOKUBA: I've never been more traumatized in all my entire life. Why would my brother create something so twisted?

JOEY: Now do you see why we hate him so much?

"Okay, for the sake of my sanity, please tell me Kaiba didn't create a princess-version of his own brother in the universe we're following." Weiss all but begged.

"No, this happened in the other one too." Saixus answered.

"I-I really don't know what to think of this." Was all Pyrrha could say.

"Just… why?!" Yang frantically waved. "Why the hell would Kaiba create a virtual princess-version of his own brother and put it in a video-game?!"

"Yeah, that sounds like something my sisters would do." Jaune said out loud which caused several questioning-eyes to land on him. "…Forget I said that."

Ruby managed to suppress a chuckle before offering an explanation. "Maybe it was meant as some kind of inside joke?"

"Ruby, this is Kaiba we're talking about." Blake reminded her.

Inside video-game, castle.

ADENA: Welcome to the land of Simlou. Every year my people are beset by a terrible evil. A mythic dragon descends from high to devour the-

YUGI: (interrupts) Question!

ADENA: Um, yes?

YUGI: Just what the hell are you anyway? Are you a boy or a girl?

JOEY: Maybe it's a shemale. You know, like Bakura.

The more immature members of the group couldn't help but laugh at that burn.

MOKUBA: Whatever it is, it's going to haunt my dreams for the rest of my life.

"Good job Seto, you've managed to traumatize your sibling!" Nora yelled at the screen.

ADENA: Excuse me, brave heroes. I'm trying to tell you about the suffering of my people.

YUGI: I think it's pretty obvious why your people are suffering. Their ruler is a transvestite.

"And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that." Pyrrha stated to which everyone else nodded.

ADENA: The only way to defeat the mythic dragon is by resurrecting the ancient flying machine, which-

YUGI: (interrupts) Why weren't you censored anyway? I mean what? Guns are bad but crossdressing princesses are A-okay?

"Who says guns are bad?!" Ruby asked frantically.

'Censored?' Blake asked herself. 'Does he mean why Kaiba would allow this princess Adena in his game or is he talking about something else?'

Inside video-game, cavern.

KAIBA: What the hell is going on? Why haven't I had any screen time?

"That's your biggest concern right now?" Jaune asked befuddled.

WITTY PHANTOM: You've been kidnapped, Seto Kaiba.

"I think he knows that already." Qrow deadpanned.

KAIBA: That's already been established. Just what the hell is the point of this scene?

WITTY PHANTOM: It gives the fangirls a chance to see you in chains.

KAIBA: Grr...

'He has fangirls?' The guys thought to themselves while the more mature girls (especially Blake) couldn't help but blush while Ruby looked confused.

Inside video-game, castle.

MAI: (wearing revealing armor) Speaking of fan-service, check me out.

Now it was Ren and Jaune's turn to blush, which did not go unnoticed by their not-girlfriends who frowned at their not-boyfriends.

Qrow was not impressed. "Come on, that qualifies as fan-service these days?"

YUGI: (also wearing armor) I can't believe Téa likes Yami more than me.

"And he's made it awkward again." Blake said calmly, still not sure if she supported the Yugi-Téa ship or the Yami-Téa ship.

Qrow was eyeing Ozpin curiously and whispered "Has something like that ever happened to you?"

"…No comment."

MAI: Forget about her, kiddo. You deserve a real woman. Like me.

YUGI/Weiss: Mrs. Valentine, are you trying to seduce me/Yugi?!

"Don't worry, this only happened in the abridged-universe." Saixus assured Weiss, who let out a sigh of relief while Blake was happy her original ship was still intact.

JOEY: (wearing a wildman's outfit) You know what the difference is between you and me? I make this look good.

Some of the girls faces turned red while Nora laughed hard. "He looks like a caveman!"

MAI: It's a whole army of Duel Monsters!

Ruby shivered, getting flashbacks to the breach. "Good thing this is just a virtual-world."

("Adena" is dragged off in a net)

YUGI: They got Princess Adena!

JOEY: Thank God for that. She was really freaking me out.

"THAT'S NO REASON TO WANNA SEE HER GET KIDNAPPED!" Weiss shouted.

"MOKUBA": (is actually Adena) Oh no! They've kidnapped Mokuba.

"Wait, they switched their clothes?" Pyrrha asked and Jaune could not help but ask:

JOEY/Jaune: Why the heck was Mokuba dressed like you/her?!

ADENA: Um... well...

MOKUBA: (in flashback) Let's trade outfits. I've always wanted to look pretty!

Jaune couldn't help but stare at Mokuba in disbelief. His sisters always forced him into dresses so to hear that Mokuba wanted to wear one willingly was a bit mind-boggling.

Then again, he really didn't have any ground to stand on considering he willingly wore a dress to one of the biggest social-events from Beacon just to cheer up a friend.

YUGI: Looks like we'll have to resurrect the ancient flying machine.

JOEY: I activate the Ocarina of Time. ("Saria's Song" from Ocarina of Time plays as ship reveals itself) That made no sense whatsoever.

"Okay enough with references we don't get already!" Qrow shouted.

MAI: Hooray! (hugs Joey)

JOEY: Nipples!

The girls frowned at Joey's immaturely while Ren and Jaune blushed again.

Inside video-game, cavern.

WITTY PHANTOM: I brought you a little present, Kaiba.

MOKUBA: (throws off dress, is wearing armor underneath) Seto!

"Oh I get it!" Nora stated as she snapped her fingers. "Mokuba disguised himself as the princess so that he would be taken to his brother so he could rescue him!"

"…How did he know that he was gonna get taken directly to his brother?" Weiss couldn't help but ask.

"Because plot!" Saixus answered.

KAIBA: Mokuba? Why the hell were you dressed like a girl?

MOKUBA: Oh, like you've never tried it.

Yang and Nora laughed while everyone else tried to get that image out of their heads.

MOKUBA: Ha! Swordstalker, free my brother! (Swordstalker cuts Kaiba's bindings)

KAIBA: Time for a trip to the recycle-bin, Phantom. And then once you're in the recycle-bin, I'm going to right-click on it and select "empty recycle-bin". Because otherwise, you'll just be taking up unnecessary space. In other words, I'm going to kill you.

"Then just say that!" Weiss shouted.

KAIBA: Come forth, Blue-Eyes!

WITTY PHANTOM: No! This was so avoidable. (Blue-Eyes attacks and destroys the Phantom)

"Guess that character didn't have a dodging-animation." Qrow smirked.

KAIBA: If anybody asks, I rescued you.

MOKUBA: (tears up) Yes, big brother.

The others (especially Yang) glared at how Seto was treating his younger sibling.

Meanwhile, back at KaibaCorp.

GANSLEY: (Super Mario theme plays in background) We can't let those brats escape the virtual-world in one piece.

"Where's that music from?" Ruby asked. "It sounds really fun!"

"It's from the Mario-franchise." Saixus answered. "They're a series of pretty popular games."

JOHNSON: That's right. So let's all stand up dramatically at the same time. (all stand up) Excellent.

Qrow laughed before turning to Ozpin. "Hey Oz, these guys are giving you a run for your money in the dramatic department."

Ozpin decided it was best not to respond.

Meanwhile, inside video-game, cavern.

JOEY: Hey Kaiba. We're here to rescue you.

KAIBA: That won't be necessary. I'm kind of free already.

JOEY: Then what the heck was the point of the princess and flying machine and all that other crap we did?

"That's actually a pretty good question." Pyrrha admitted. "Why did they have to go through all that stuff?"

"Because the game was programmed to." Saixus answered.

BIG FIVE: Hahahahaha. Well done, all of you. You've reached the last stage. Now get ready to face the final boss.

KAIBA: They're hacking into the computer-system.

The Five-Headed Dragon appears.

The watchers stared wide-eyed at the massive multiple-headed creature in fear.

"S-Saixus, what's that thing?!"

"That's a Duel Monster known as the Five-Headed Dragon." Saixus told Ruby.

"…That name's a little bit on the nose, don't ya think?" Yang deadpanned, severely disappointed by the uncreative name.

"Even if it is, that dragon has 5000 ATK-points and can only be destroyed by monsters with the light-attribute." Saixus revealed.

"5000?!" Jaune shouted. "It's stronger than Kaiba's Ultimate Dragon!"

"It's stronger than any monster we've seen so far." Pyrrha added.

BIG FIVE: Once we destroy you, people will soon jump to the conclusion that video-games are dangerous, and then all video-games will be banned!

Ruby let out a horrified scream while Yang narrowed her eyes. "Okay, these guys have officially crossed the line."

Jaune sweat-dropped. "They hadn't crossed it already when they kidnapped Mokuba?"

KAIBA: Listen, pal. You can try to take over my company. You can kidnap my little brother. You can even try to kill me. But when you f*ck around with video-games, you've gone too far.

"KICK THEIR ASS/BUTT!" Yang and Ruby yelled at the same time.

YAMI: It's time to slay the dragon.

Dragon Ball Z English opening theme plays as Kaiba summons his Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Joey summons his Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Yugi summons his Curse of Dragon.

A blast from Dragon Master Knight hits Five-Headed Dragon and it explodes.

BIG FIVE: Nooooo!

Most watchers had their mouths wide open at the pure epicness they just witnessed.

"…Okay where the hell to I even start?!" Yang said frantically. "First of all, the music, was awesome! Secondly, was that Black Luster Soldier ridding on TOP of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon?! And thirdly, damn that was an awesome finisher!"

Saixus couldn't hide his smirk at the reaction to the Remnantians. "That monster is actually a fusion between Black Luster Soldier and Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon called Dragon Master Knight. It has 5000 attack-points just like the Five-Headed Dragon and is of the light-attribute."

"Meaning it's an even match for the Five-Headed Dragon." Weiss realized but wondered something. "But then why wasn't this Dragon Master Knight destroyed when it battled Five-Headed Dragon? Don't monsters who battle eachother with the same attack-strength both get destroyed if they attack eachother?"

"Normally yes, but in this universe Dragon Master Knight gains 500 extra attack-points for every dragon-type monster in the game, even if they were already destroyed or if they're on your opponents side of the field." Saixus answered. "With that massive power-bonus, Dragon Master Knight easily bested the Five-Headed Dragon."

SUBTITLE:
You gain 500 exp
You collect a rusty dagger

"A rusty dagger?!" Ruby read in disbelief. "That's all they get for beating a giant multiple-headed dragon?!"

YAMI/Yang: This loot-system sucks.

Later, inside video-game, castle.

KEY MACE: Hey! Listen! (repeats in background)

"Oh not this bitch again." Nora said under her breath.

ADENA: Welcome back, brave heroes. You have saved our people.

YAMI: Let's get out of here. That fairy's starting to piss me off.

Nora agreed with Yami full-heartedly

JOEY: That game is more disappointing than Fable.

Qrow decided not to repeat himself this time.

At KaibaCorp.

TÉA: Tristan, do I look fat?

"Wrong place and time Téa!" Yang shouted.

TRISTAN: (fighting off goons) Little busy here...

TÉA: Yugi, you're okay!

YUGI: That's right, Jezebel. I mean Téa.

MOKUBA: Now we're out of the video-game, you guys can't do a thing to me.

KEMO: Actually, we can still beat the crap out of you.

MOKUBA: Oh, yeah.

KEMO: Hold still, you little punk!

MOKUBA: (off-screen) Ow, my ribs! Ow, my other ribs!

Everybody cringed at the sound of Mokuba getting the crap beat out of him.

"I should probably mention that in the other universe the guards simply ran away once they realized the Big Five were defeated."

"That's good to…" Weiss started before blinking at Saixus' statement. "Wait… what do you mean they were defeated? We know Yami and the others managed to get out of the game but aren't the Big Five still around?"

Saixus rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. "Well you see… when it became clear to the Big Five that Kaiba was about to escape they zapped themselves into the video-game to take control of the Five-Headed Dragon. And once their dragon was destroyed, they kinda ended up… stuck in cyber-space with no way to get back to their own bodies."

"…So those five are now permanently stuck in the digital-world… while their bodies are laying braindead in some virtual-pods?" Qrow asked hesitatingly to which Saixus nodded. The implications slowly hit the group as their eyes widened at the faith of the Big Five."…Geez that's dark."

"…Weiss?"

"Yes Yang?"

"Please make sure something like that can't happen with the virtual-pods your guys are gonna make for us."

"Wha- when did I say they would?!"

YUGI: (off-screen) Tristan, why are you punching him?

Luckily that one line was enough to erase the dark atmosphere as Weiss couldn't help but ask "Wait, what?!"

TRISTAN: (off-screen) I don't know.

Weiss face-palmed as the rest couldn't help but laugh a little. (Even Yang, though she did feel bad for this version of Mokuba.)

Ending: Super Mario Game Over theme plays.

Post-ending:

KEMO: Attention, mother! I've just been told I'm not going to be in any more episodes after this one. My hair is crying! [sniff] I don't have anywhere else to go. [sniff] Could I move in with you?

Ruby couldn't help but feel a bit sad for Kemo. "Aw that's kinda sad…"

"He was beating up Mokuba not two seconds ago!" Weiss pointed out.

"I feel like we would have been sadder if we had seen this guy in more than just this one episode." Jaune concluded.

---

YGOTAS Episode 22 - Shine On, You Crazy Devlin

NARRATOR: Warning - This episode contains copious amounts of Duke Devlin. Women with heart conditions are advised not to look directly at Duke Devlin. This also applies to women without heart conditions. He's very pretty - see? See how pretty he is? He's very pretty! I'd like to run my fingers through his hair, and I'm just a voice! Anyway, without further ado, enjoy your crappy animé cartoon.

The girls couldn't help but blush at the image of Duke Devlin.

"None of us have any heart conditions right?" Yang asked the group.

"I might have after seeing that guy's face!" Nora freely admitted. "My Oum, he's gorgeous!"

Pyrrha nodded in agreement. "He clearly takes great care of himself."

Both Ren and Jaune glared at the image of Duke Devlin, hard.

Opening title sequence.

Outside Solomon's game-shop.

YUGI: I'm going to school now, Gramps. If this porch isn't clean by the time I get back, I'll tell my parents you've been abusing me.

"I really don't like how Yugi treats his grandfather in this universe." Ruby pouted.

"Yeah, he's a lot nicer in the other one." Pyrrha agreed.

TÉA: (cuts in) Hey, Yugi!

YUGI: Slut! I mean, Téa!

"Who greets someone like that?!" Weiss yelled while Yang failed to contain a snicker.

TÉA: What's wrong with your grandpa? Is he dying? Tell me he's dying...

"I'm starting to think the abridged-versions of these guys are seriously lacking in moral-values." Blake commented.

"You didn't figure that out during the first two episodes?" Qrow asked with a raised eyebrow.

YUGI: (leans over to her) You know, Téa, we could kill him right now and nobody would have to know about it.

TÉA: Really?

"Case and point." Qrow finished.

SOLOMON: (pops up) Hello! I'm down here now! And I'm very angry for reasons I am about to explain! (points) Ta-da! That new game-shop is stealing all my customers.

TÉA: You have customers?

Yang laughed hard. "They really wanna send him back to the hospital, don't they?"

YUGI: Wow! A super special awesome new game-shop! I believe that there is a slight possibility that I may be interested in checking it ou-

SOLOMON: (interrupts) DO IT AND YOU DIE!

Some of the viewers laughed while Ruby pouted. "Aw, but I wanna see the new game-shop!"

Cuts to school.

TEACHER: (off-screen, sternly) If you don't eat your meat you can't have any pudding!

Ruby took a shot at Yang. "Reminds me how dad got Yang to eat her vegetables back when she was younger."

"And who's the one here he needed to threaten by taking away their cookies whenever we had to clean the house?" Yang shot back, causing Ruby to frown.

JOEY: How come we never do any schoolwork anyway?

"They don't?!" Weiss asked horrified.

"Lucky bastards." Nora grumbled

YUGI: It makes you wonder why we even bother coming here.

"Man, why can't our school be so laid-back." Yang complained, forgetting who was currently in the room with her.

"I'll be sure to let professor Oobleck know what you said." Ozpin said offhand, causing Yang to look at the old man horrified.

TÉA: Hey did you guys hear about that new student? They say he's the sexiest thing since sex.

JOEY: Nyeeh, sex isn't that sexy.

TRISTAN: Joey, what's sex?

JOEY: Well, Tristan, when a man and a woman love each other very much-

TÉA: (cuts in) Joey, no! We mustn't let Tristan breed!

"PFFFT HAHAHAHAHA!" Yang and Nora where double over laughing while the rest of the students had cheeks as red as Ruby's cloak.

Ozpin shook his head while Qrow whistled at the woman's guts. "Gonna need a healing-semblance for that one."

JOEY: Nyeeeeh! Thanks, Téa! That was a close one!

(Justin Timberlake's 'SexyBack' plays in background and every time Duke Devlin is on screen)

JOEY: Hey, where's that music coming from?

"No clue, but it's pretty damn catchy." Yang said while the others agreed.

DUKE: (his voice resembles Snake from The Simpsons) Keep your eyes on me, ladies! (He performs a trick with several dice and a cup, as he lifts the cup, the dice are stacked, one on top of another) Cheap parlor-tricks are extremely erotic. Ho-yahh!

Jaune didn't believe Duke for a single second.

"Whoa, that was pretty impressive!" Pyrrha commented.

…And all of a sudden Jaune was considering learning parlor-tricks.

FANGIRL 1: Oh he's so smexy! His cup is so big!

TRISTAN: It's magic! He must be a witch!

Weiss rolled her eyes. "Please, there are no such thing as witches."

Ozpin and Qrow looked away awkwardly.

DUKE: (approaches gang) I couldn't help but notice you guys aren't drooling over me as if I'm some kind of sex object.

TÉA/Yang: Huminahuminahumina-

"Yang, stop that!" Ruby begged.

"Make me."

DUKE DEVLIN: I'm Duke Devlin. I own the new game-shop.

"Sooo that music is just gonna play every time Duke says something?" Blake asked.

"Man, why can't I have a cool song play whenever I say something?" Nora pouted.

TÉA: You can own my body too if you want.

Yang immediately stopped imitating Téa. "Okay, I wouldn't go that far."

TRISTAN: (off-screen) Burn the witch!

Weiss face-palmed.

DUKE: You must be Yugi. My fangirls have told me all about you! They say you're almost as pretty as me!

Jaune was surprised Duke had fangirls that apparently thought Yugi was pretty too. "Wow those are some pretty nice fangirls."

JOEY: (slides on screen) Hey dice-boy, what'd they say about me? Point, point.

DUKE: They say you're a loser with a fetish for dressing up like animals.

"Nevermind." Jaune said with a sigh.

JOEY: I am not a loser! And I'll prove it by challenging you to a children's card-game.

DUKE: I accept! But if I win then you have to be my slave.

"Wait, what?!" Blake questioned in disbelief. "You can't just make someone give up their freedom like that!"

TÉA: Lucky bastard.

"Okay dial it down a few degrees City-girl." Yang said. Sure Duke was hot, but was Téa not seeing how he was being a total ass to her friends?

JOEY: And if I win then you have to close your game-shop.

YUGI/Pyrrha: Joey... don't you think that's a little extreme? You can't put somebody out of business just because you're jealous.

"Uhm, Pyrrha, did you not hear Duke say that he wants Joey to become his slave?" Jaune pointed out. "If he's actually gonna accept that term-"

"Which he shouldn't." Blake muttered angrily.

"Then doesn't he have the right to make Duke bet away something of high-value too?"

Weiss rolled her eyes. "Please, Duke and Joey are both being idiots, but you're more on Joey's side since your obliviously jealous of Duke."

JOEY/Jaune: I'm not jealous! What does he have that I don't have?!/ Aside from the fangirls, and the pretty hair, and those gorgeous green-eyes?

DUKE DEVLIN: (twizzles hair) Don't forget my sweet ass.

JOEY: Yeah, and a sweet ass. But other than that he's got nothin'!

"Looks like Joey answered your question leader!" Nora teased, causing Jaune to look down at the floor in shame.

'…I think he's got a sweet ass…' Pyrrha thought in the dirty corners of her mind.

TÉA: Bow-chicka-bow-bow...

"Turn it down already lady!" Yang yelled.

TRISTAN: (off-screen) Burn the witch!

Weiss face-palmed again.

Outside Duke's game-shop.

JOEY: Here we are at the game-shop. Once I win this card-game Duke Devlin will be out of a job and he'll be forced to live on the streets! (laughs as he runs into the shop) Nyehehehe!

TÉA: What a heroic thing to do!

"No it isn't!" Weiss yelled.

TRISTAN: Clearly he is a role model for children everywhere!

"No he isn't!" Ruby yelled next.

Inside game-shop, Duel-Arena room.

DUKE DEVLIN: Welcome to the Duke Devlin love-nasium! I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of inviting my fangirls to watch our duel.

Jaune paled. "Oh please no."

FANGIRLS:
Oh Dukey you're so fine,
You're so fine you blow my mind,
Hey Dukey! (clap clap)
Hey Dukey! (continues in background)

Weiss was not impressed. "How long did they take to come up with those lyrics?"

TÉA: It's true what they say: Fangirls ruin everything.

"That depends on how far their fangirling goes." Qrow argued.

TRISTAN: Burn the witch!

Weiss was about to face-palm again but Blake stopped her this time. "Weiss, you're gonna end up breaking your nose for real if you keep that up."

"But he's so… stupid!" Weiss complained as she frantically pointed at the TV. "I honestly feel like I'm losing brain cells whenever Tristan's abridged-version is on screen!"

"You sure that's not from all the slapping?" Yang asked with a teasing grin.

FANGIRLS: (off-screen) ...Hey Dukey!

YUGI: (thinking) Isn't anyone gonna notice that I'm not wearing my school-uniform?

"I noticed and I think this style suits you fine." Pyrrha complimented.

DUKE DEVLIN: I summon the Extremely Phallic Space Ship. But since it belongs to me, it grows to twice its usual size. Duke Devlin always rises to the occasion, baby!

All the watchers but Ruby had their eyes widened. "…I don't get it."

"Good!" Said everyone else at the same time.

DUKE DEVLIN: Gradius, totally attack his life-points!

Gradius explodes in front of Joey.

JOEY: Nyeeeeh!

FANGIRLS (chanting): Joey Wheeler lost the bet! Duke Devlin makes our panties wet!

Everyone looked away from the screen awkwardly.

DUKE DEVLIN: Since you lost you have to do whatever I want.

FANGIRL: (hands Joey a dog-costume) Put it on...

JOEY: This is slightly more humiliating than playing a children's card-game.

"Having to wear a dogsuit sounds way worse than having to play a card-game!" Weiss argued while Blake glared at the suit.

YAMI: Duke Devlin, you've gone too far! How dare you force Joey to uphold his end of the bargain.

"…You know… when he puts it like that..."

"Nora, even if Joey did agree with this, taking away his freedom is still crossing a line." Ren argued.

"No one should have to suffer like Joey is now." Blake stated emotionlessly. If anyone ever forced her to wear such a costume, she would introduce them to the end of her blade.

YAMI: I challenge you to a game! And if I win then Joey is no longer your slave!

"Yeah, you tell him Yami!" Ruby cheered.

DUKE: Fine by me. But if you lose then you must swear on the life of your grandfather than you'll never play card-games ever again.

YAMI: Big deal! He'll be dead by the end of the month.

Ruby immediately stopped cheering. "Again, that's not funny!"

DUKE: We'll play Dungeon Dice Monsters- a game of my own creation.

"This is starting to sound awfully familiar…" Yang commented.

"How do you play this game?" Nora wondered.

DUKE: We each take turns to draw dice.

YAMI: So it's just like Duel Monsters.

DUKE: Then we use our dice to summon holographic-monsters to the field.

YAMI: So it's just like Duel Monsters.

DUKE: Both opponents are given three heart-points and when they run out the game is-

YAMI: (interrupts) So it's just like Duel Monsters.

"Oh so it's basically the same game." Nora stated while the others snickered a bit at Yami's constant interruptions.

DUKE: Hey, stop it! My game is nothing like Duel Monsters.

YAMI: Prove it then!

DUKE: (long pause without theme music) ...My game uses dice.

"So do quite a number of cards in Duel Monsters." Saixus pointed out.

TRISTAN: (off-screen) Burn the witch!

Weiss held tightly to her right-arm with her left-hand to prevent herself from face-palming again.

Outside.

SOLOMON: As per usual I have no idea where I am! I wonder what's going on over there. (slides out of crowd) Hmm? (his eyes turn into hearts) Whoa Nelly! (watching Devlin's fangirls on a big screen cheerleading) Yes, yes! Work it, baby! Grandpa likes it like that! Shake it like a Polaroid picture!

"Please tell me we are almost done!" Weiss all but begged the intruder.

"Don't worry, the episode should be over in two minutes."

Inside Duke's game-shop.

JOEY: Come on, Yug! You can do it!

FANGIRL 1: Shut up or we'll have you spayed!

FANGIRL 3: (manly voice) That's right.

Everyone was taking back by the heavy voice.

"What is with this universe and making women sound like men?" Pyrrha asked.

"Rebecca sounded like a girl." Jaune pointed out but she seemed to be an exception.

Nora appeared to be deep in thought. "You think there might be a universe out there where we all sound like men?"

"Oum I hope not." Yang practically begged. She would die from embarrassment if she ever sounds like that.

DUKE: I've waited a long time for this moment, Yugi. I'm gonna prove to the world that you're a cheater by beating you in a game of my own creation.

"Is this guy trying to pull a Pegasus, cuz it sounds like he's trying to pull a Pegasus." Yang said.

YAMI: You wanna run that by me one more time?

DUKE: There is, like, no way you could have beaten Pegasus without cheating. He was my idol! I've tried my whole life to be just as masculine as he is!

"You failed spectacularly." Weiss said and all the girls nodded.

YAMI: That would explain a lot.

Begin flashback.

DUKE: (voice-over) I visited him before the Duelist Kingdom tournament to demonstrate my game. He was totally awesome! It was like he'd played Dungeon Dice Monsters his whole life!

YAMI: (voice-over) That's probably because he had. Your game is exactly like Duel Monsters.

"His game clearly uses the same monsters as Duel Monsters." Pyrrha noted. "Doesn't that mean that Duke's technically committing plagiarism?"

"Well Pegasus got his designs from an ancient civilization so if he did sue Duke back then, he would have been quite the hypocrite." Saixus put in.

PEGASUS: Congratulations, Dukey-boy. This is just what I've been looking for! Dungeon Dice Monsters will make my card-game look exciting by comparison. I'll begin funding you immediately.

"He… he's only funding Duke's project to make his own game look better?" Jaune questioned befuddled.

"That plan makes no sense at all!" Weiss shouted. "Even if it ends up making the card-game look better, his company would be bound to a bad product that still costs a lot of money! Not to mention the bad publicity his company will receive if Dungeon Dice Monsters ends up being a complete failure!"

DUKE (voice-over as Duke shakes hands with Pegasus and flashback ends): Dungeon Dice Monsters was set to take the world by storm. (cut back to him onscreen) But then you defeated Pegasus in a children's card-game and he dropped off the face of the Earth. You must have cheated! It's the only explanation!

"Or maybe some evil ghost ribbed both Pegasus' magical-eye and good-eye out of his skull and he's still in surgery." Nora provided.

Qrow scoffed. "Good luck convincing pretty-boy of that."

YAMI: Or maybe Pegasus just realized your game sucks ass.

"Sick burn Yami!" Yang complimented.

YAMI: Go, Dark Magician! Destroy his life-I mean... heart-points.

("Magical Trevor 2" music plays, as Dark Magician wags his finger tauntingly before attacking.)

TÉA: Yugi won! His grandpa would be so proud!

Outside.

SOLOMON: Hey! Go back to the dancing girls!

Weiss' hand nearly landed in her face but once again she managed to stop it.

Inside game-shop.

YUGI: Man, Duke! I can't believe you actually thought that crappy little dice-game would sell!

JOEY: Yeah, it was just a carbon copy of Duel Monsters! You'd have to be as blind as my sister to not notice the similarities!

"Okay that was extremely insensitive!" Jaune yelled.

"Yeah, Duke's game actually looked kind of fun!" Ruby spoke up. "I'd certainly give it a try."

Jaune looked deadpanned at Ruby. "I meant what Joey said about his sister."

Ruby blinked before sheepishly rubbing the back of her head. "Oh… right."

TRISTAN: (holds up dice) This is going straight up my nose!

Nora snorted. "I love this version of Tristan."

"Someone has to…" Weiss commented.

SOLOMON: I'm not even sure how I got here.

Yang opened her mouth but was interrupted by her uncle. "Firecracker, we get it, he needs to go to a home."

TÉA: Duke, did I ever mention that my nipples can supply power to a third world country?

Weiss couldn't stop herself this time and smashed her hand into her face. "Please tell me that's the last innuendo I have to hear."

Yang snickered. 'She just jealous her bossom can't even power up a single room.'

Weiss didn't know why, but she had the sudden urge to strangle a certain blonde.

DUKE: I owe you guys an apology. I treated you all like crap. Do you think we can still be friends in season two?

"Wait, is Duke coming back next season?" Ruby questioned.

"I'm cool with that." Yang shrugged. If Duke completely stopped being a jerk then she wouldn't mind seeing his pretty face on screen some more.

"As long as he never forces Joey to wear a dogsuit ever again, fine." Blake muttered. She was gonna have nightmares about that suit for weeks.

YUGI: Only if you stop using that annoying theme-music.

"What? No, don't listen to him Duke!" Yang yelled. "You're theme-music is awesome!"

"Yeah!" Ruby agreed. "I can't imagine Duke speaking without that music accompanying him!"

Nora shuttered at the thought of a Duke without his theme-music. "Take away Duke's theme-music and what's gonna be left?!"

"A pretty face with a sweet ass apparently…" Jaune muttered to himself.

DUKE: What theme-music?

Ending: Toni Basil's "Mickey" plays.

Post-ending:

TRISTAN: He must be a witch! He turned me into a newt! (Duke stares) ...I got better.

Weiss let out an excruciating sigh. "Thank Oum that's finally over! This abridged-universe is no doubt the weirdest universe I know."

"Weiss, you currently know of like, two other universes." Yang reminded the heiress.

"That does not mean I'm wrong!"

"Oh come on Ice Queen, you have to admit it was quite funny at times." Yang smirked but her smile fainted when she remembered certain parts. "You know… aside from how they treated Mokuba at times."

"And Grandpa Muto!" Ruby added.

"I still rather take that then having to wear a dogsuit, brrr." Blake shivered.

"I guess with an infinite amount of universes out there, there are bound to be few that feel… out of place." Ozpin advocated.

Qrow scoffed. "That's one word for it."

"But you must admit, Black Luster Soldier riding on top of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon was the coolest thing ever!" Nora exclaimed.

"That we can't argue with." Pyrrha said with a smile with Jaune nodded in agreement.

"So I guess we're going back to watching the previous versions of Yugi and his friends?" Ren asked.

"That's correct." Saixus answered.

"Great." Qrow spoke up. "Maybe we'll learn more of Yami's origin in this one, because those abridged episodes didn't reveal anything new on that front."

"Maybe not but Solomon's flashback did confirm the origin of Duel Monsters for us." Ozpin pointed out. After all, is was hard to argue against ancient hieroglyphs. "We also saw that this world has very interesting technology available. Those holographic monsters are one thing, but the Virtual Reality World… that's technology I don't think even the brightest minds in Atlas can develop."

Ruby let out a sad sigh. "Yeah, and the episode didn't show enough about the virtual-pods for me to figure out how to even start building something like that."

"Considering what those things did to the Big Five, perhaps that's a good thing." Weiss argued.

"Welp, guess we better get back to the Yu-Gi-Oh-verse." Saixus said as he started to raise his remote to the TV. "Fair warning though. If you thought the first season was crazy, trust me when I say-"

The TV flickered on, with quite a bit of static. The scenery appeared extremely dark and hazy with no noticeable landscapes whatsoever. Just when Blake was about to ask Saixus if he had already started the second interlude, a flash of lightning appeared on the screen, signaling the start of a theme that send shivers down the Remnantians spines.

The lightning-strike in question was a red one that revealed the presence of a large serpent-like being that was flying in the mist. The screen zoomed in but the darkness hid most of monster's view. They could however still make out some red-scales, as well as its bright yellow-eyes with underneath them it's most noticeable feature. Not one, but two maws, both filled with white razor-sharp teeth.

A second flash of lighting struck down below, with the color blue this time. This new lightning-strike had revealed a patch of ground but that was the last thing anyone was focusing on. On the barren landscape stood a creature so colossal that the watchers first thought it was a massive statue. A thought that was quickly thrown away when it's head moved upward, revealing a set of red-eyes against a barely visible blue-surface.

Finally, a yellow thunderbolt announced the arrival of a second flying-creature. This one shined with a light so brightly that the darkness in its area completely evaporated. However, the light this being was giving off shined so intense that they still couldn't a good view of the monster. If anything the holy-light caused most watchers to turn away from the screen or cover their eyes. All the watchers could make out were a set of giant wings, while a pair of red-eyes shined on its bird-like head.

The camera zoomed out to show all three of these divine beings, with their attention now seemingly completely focused on our watchers...

…Who at this point were all silently staring at the screen in awn. These… these creatures where different from all the other monsters they had seen so far. Only Exodia came close to matching these monsters presence and the fact they had to compare them with Exodia of all monsters did nothing to lessen their rising anxiety. Each of these three beings radiated so much power that even though they were only being shown on television, it felt like they were actually present in the room.

Ruby and Weiss were practically shaking like leafs as they hugged their stuffed pets, or in Ruby's case her stuffed and actual pet, tightly while Blake and Yang appeared completely frozen. Jaune and Pyrrha shivered while they were subconsciously holding hands while Nora had abandoned all restraint and leapt onto Ren's lap while hugging Archie tightly. So taken back by what he was witnessing, Ren made no move to stop her as he continued to watch the screen. Qrow was sweating buckets while mentally cursing the fact he didn't have Harbinger with him, even though he instinctively knew it would be of little help.

But none of them had the same kind of reaction that Ozpin did. Sure, he felt every bit as awestruck and dreadful as the rest. But what made him more unnerved than anyone else in the room was that he had felt this kind of presence before. A long, long time ago.

Saixus couldn't help but smirk at their reaction as the divine creatures on the screen seemed to move closer and closer while the theme accompanying them reached its climax. "…you folks haven't seen anything yet."

---

Aaaaaannd that's the end of our brief visit to the abridged-universe. I know this was not the interlude you were expecting and I know it's been exactly 10 months since I last updated and I do apologize for that. Life really sped up for me a few weeks after I posted interlude 1, including finally securing a full-time job. Yeah, you can guess what happened to my free time after that event. It plummeted!

As for why you guys got an interlude covering Little Kuriboh's abridged-series, I was getting tired of how long it is taking me to finish interlude 2 that I decided to create this MUCH shorter interlude so that I could give my readers at least something. I picked these specific abridged-episodes because they fitted the time-slot between interlude 1 and interlude 2. Finally, I gave our cast a little peak at the most memorable monsters in all of Yu-Gi-Oh. (As for which specific theme-song played while they were making their grand-entrance… you can chose that for yourselves because let's face it, all the Egyptian-god themes are epic!)

It was also brought to my attention that some other react-fanfiction got taken off this site. So to prevent my fanfiction from disappearing completely since I only ever post on this site, I decided to make an account on AO3 (Archive of Our Own) and post my RWBY Reacts to Yu-Gi-Oh 5d's fanfic there as well.

Update Februari 2022 : You can now find my fanfiction on AO3 under the same username I use here!

I also decided to use this opportunity to go over my previous chapters and correct some spelling-errors that got passed me. (Seriously, I'm embarrassed by the amount of times I wrote thrash instead of trash! Curse my not English-native background!) Nothing changed story-wise though so you don't have to re-read those chapters… unless you want to of course.

So yeah, I'm once again asking you all to be patient with my updates. I know 10 months is a very long time to wait and I'll try not to make you guys wait another 10 months before interlude 2 is finally ready, but I really can't promise when it will be finished.

I hope you all liked this interlude, feel free to leave a review and see you all next time!

This is MasterSaixus, signing off!
