Chapter 4 – A New Raid Opponent
In his office, Ruby, Yang, and Weiss stood before the man whose desk read, Chancellor Sheppard, "So, I trust you three are adjusting well."
"Yeah," Yang responded with a shrug, "Classes are a little boring."
"I would agree," Weiss commented, "Plus, some of the rumors and 'wonders' around this school are purely idiotic."
"Um, that cat in the Red Dorm keeps getting into my room and sleeping on my face," Ruby said as she had an uneasy smile, "It makes it hard to breathe in my sleep."
"I see," Chancellor Sheppard said with an uneasy smile before he cleared his throat, "Well, I have some good news for you then." He said as they listen to him, "A pro duelist wishes to take on three opponents at once to test her skills and our Academy's potential."
"She wants a raid duel?" Yang said with him nodding, causing her to smile, "Sweet, I'm in."
"Me too," Ruby said, "I've never done one of those duels before."
"Why does she want a raid duel?" Weiss asked.
"Her hope is to test a new deck she wished to use in the pro league." Chancellor Sheppard responded, "Her email to me said the duel would be televised, but that she only wanted to duel female students, one in each level in our academy. It almost seems like fate that you three came to us when you did." He then smiled as he looked at Ruby, Yang, and Weiss, "So, will the three of you duel?"
"You already had me, and Ruby is in," Yang said before looking at Weiss, "What about you?"
Weiss sighed as she crossed her arms, "I suppose if I didn't, you would have to use that fake queen of the Obelisk Blue or her one of her two airhead friends." she then grinned, "Very well, I will join."
"Yikes," Yang said to herself, "What an Ice Queen."
"Great, I will set up the duel," Chancellor Sheppard said with a smile, "You three will have some time to prepare." He said as three nodded before exiting the office.
As they walked down the hall, Weiss led the way as the others followed her, "So, how should we get ready?" Ruby asked.
"You two can do whatever you want, I will need to go over my deck for the duel," Weiss responded
"Wait, I know!" Ruby said before she reached behind her back to take out her deck box, she then pulled out a card, "Here," The hooded Slifer Red said as she passed the card to Weiss, "You can use that in your deck."
"Familiar-Possessed – Eria?" Weiss said as she read the card, "Why would I put this monster in my Gem-Knight deck?"
"Well, I have most of Familiar-Possessed, my sister has one of the monsters," Ruby reasoned, "If you have one also, that will make our decks more alike."
"No, it won't," Weiss coldly said as she passed the card back, "If I had this card to my deck, it could throw everything off."
"I think you're being a bit melodramatic," Yang commented, "Just add the card to the deck, will you?" She said with Weiss glaring back at Ruby's sad eyes.
The Heiress Obelisk blue sighed as she took the card back, "Fine," Weiss said as she put the card back in her deck box, causing Ruby to smile, "But if we lose, I'm blaming you."
"Relax, we got this." The blond Ra Yellow responded with Ruby looking back at her, "In a raid duel, the only advantage our opponent has is the starting 12,000 life points. She will have to last three turns before making her next move."
"Wow, she must be pretty confident in her new deck," Ruby said as a question came to her mind, "Wat is the name of the pro duelist again?"
A few hours later.
The three girls stood on the right side of the duel arena. The stands were full of students as Ruby looked around, noticing Jaden waving in the front row. To his left was Alexis, who sat next to Chazz, who sat next to Bastion. She waved back until Weiss nudged her. Ruby the looked back to see their opponent. She was a girl with pink and brown hair that matched her two different eye colors. Her outfit was a cutoff white jacket, black pants, and the classic model of the duel disk. She smirked as she looked at the three girls, even though she stood shorter than all of them.
"So, that's the Pro Duelist they are fighting," Bastion commented, "I have seen her duels before, her name is Neopolitan."
"Neo, that's a cool name." Jaden said with a smile, "And she has cool eyes too." He said with Neo blinking, changing the orientation of her eye color, making him wonder how she did that.
"I have heard of her also." Alexis responded, "She doesn't speak, preferring her cards to do the talking."
"Those three will have their work cut out for them then," Chazz responded.
"So, since it is a raid duel, one of us should go first." Yang said, but Neo already drew her hand, the smirk on her face growing slightly bigger, "Oh, I see how it is?" Yang said with a grin, "She's really confident, isn't she?" Yang said as she readied her duel disk.
"That's fine by me," Weiss said as she readied as well, "In the end, one of us will be left standing."
"Still," Ruby said as she looked at Neo, "I have a bad feeling about this."
"Duel!" The three girls said while Neo smirked.
Neo: 12000 Life Points
Ruby: 4000 Life Points
Weiss: 4000 Life Points
Yang: 4000 Life Points
Neo drew first, summoning a monster right away. It was a child with a white magician's outfit and white long hair, (1000 ATK / 1000 DEF). A quite gaze was on her face as she looked at the three. Neo then set four cards facedown to end her turn.
"Not another LV monster," Weiss annoyingly commented as Yang and Ruby turned to her, "What she just played was Silent Magician LV4. A monster that gains more attack point the more the opponent draws over time."
"Oh, that's why she wanted to go first. Well, leave it to me." Ruby said as she drew, seeing the Silent Magician gain a counter, (1000 + 500 = 1500 ATK). She then looked to see the monster she drew and summon it, "I'll bring out Familiar-Possessed – Wynn in attack mode!" Ruby said as a green-haired teenage girl appeared on her side of the field. next to her was a type of green water dragon, (1850 ATK / 1500 DEF), "Now, attack Ruby said as Wynn's dragon headed for Neo's monster."
However, Neo activated a trap card familiar to Ruby, "Negate Attack." Ruby said as her monster's attack stopped, causing Neo to grin, "Well, she doesn't have to explain what that card does." Ruby said as she crossed her arms, "I end my turn."
"It's okay Ruby, let me take care of this." Yang said as she drew a card, smiling at her results, "I activate Meteor of Destruction to burn you for 1000 Life Points." The blond Ra Yellow said as a fireball headed straight for Neo. However, while Neo did not activate a card, she did pull out an umbrella, opening it in the direction of the fireball. While she still took the damage, the attack did not collide with her body. She then smirked as she looked at Yang, making a little bow. She then looked over to her monster, seeing its attack grow, (1500 + 500 = 2000 ATK).
Neo: 12000 – 1000 = 11000 Life Points
"You little-" Yang said as her eyes turned red, activating another card, "Fine, I activate Double Summon so I can make two normal summons this turn." She said before picking two cards from her hand, "So, I think I will summon two Solar Flare Dragons in attack mode." She said as a monster with a pair of large red dragons on fire appearing beside her, roaring in unison, (1500 ATK / 1000 DEF). "And with both on the field, you cannot attack me." She then set a card face down, "I'll end with this, but you still take 500 burn damage from each of my dragons." She said as the two monsters launched another pair of fireballs at Neo, but the pint-sized pro duelist blocked them all the same.
Neo: 11000 - 500 - 500 = 10000 Life Points
However, during the end phase, Neo activated a trap card that Yang read, "Side Effects?" She said.
"You draw one to three cards," Ruby continued to explain to Yang, "But she gains 2000 life point for each one."
"What!? So, my combo did nothing?" Yang said as she looked at Neo smirking, "Okay, I'll draw just one card." Yang said as Neo regained life points with that draw. Yang then noticed Neo's Silent Magician gowning stronger, (2000 + 500 = 2500 ATK).
Neo: 10000 + 2000 = 12000 Life Points
"Well, that plan certainly backfired," Bastion pointed out, "Neopolitan knows her opponents and how to counter them flawlessly."
"I draw," Wiess said as Silent Magician gained a counter for the normal draw, (2500 + 500 = 3000 ATK). Neo then activated another trap, this time a continuous one.
"Pitch-Black Power Stone?" Ruby read out loud, "That one I don't know."
"It gives her the ability to put counters on her monster." Yang responded, "She is trying to level up her monster quicker."
"Not going to happen," Wiess responded to Neo's attempt, "I activate Mystical Space Typhoon, destroying you Power Stone before you can place a counter." Neo watched as her trap was destroyed in a vortex of wind.
"She stopped her from getting the max 5 counters," Alexis commented, "But 3000 attack is not an easy obstacle."
"Well," Jaden said as he noticed Weiss smiling as she played another spell card, "I think she has a something up her sleeve."
"Next, I activate Gem-Knight Fusion. Fusing my Obsidian, Lazuli, and Garnet to make Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond." Weiss said as her ace monster appeared on her side of the field, the knight standing at her side, (3400 ATK / 2000 DEF). "Since I sent Gem-Knight Obsidian to the graveyard this way, I can summon Garnet back." She said as her flame armed monster reappeared, (1900 ATK / 0 DEF). "Now, I active Dimond's effect, sending Garnet to the grave so I can bring out another fusion monster." She said as Lady Diamond gleamed with light over Garnet, "I'll bring out Gem-Knight Zirconia!" She said as her monster was replaced with a massive knight with pillar-like arms, (2900 ATK / 2500 DEF), "I'm not done yet, I summon Gem-Knight Alexandrite, but activate his effect to send to tribute him to summon Gem-Knight Crystal from my deck," She said as a white knight monster appeared for a second before being replaced with a larger white knight in a proud stance, (2450 ATK / 1950 DEF).
"That's so cool!" Ruby commented, "You played your hand to bring out three strong monsters."
"This is what separates an Obelisk Blue form the other lower classes." Weiss responded, she then glanced over to one of the cameras with a slight glare, "I hope you're watching this right now, this is just the beginning." Across the world in the Kaiba Corporation office, the CEO worked on his computer, glancing over to see the duel on his massive television screen. Back at Duel Academy, Weiss pointed at Neo's monster, "Now, I attack with Lady Brilliant Diamond." She said as her Gem-Knight lunged towards the Silent Magician. However, Neo smirked as she looked at Weiss. Suddenly, Weiss realized, "Oh no, I forget." She thought to herself, "She has one more facedown!"
Neo activated her final facedown, reveling it as Silent Burning, "That card," Chazz commented as he looked at Silent Magician, "If the user has the user has that monster and more cards in their hands than opponent during the battle, both players draw until they have six cards in their hands." He said as Neo showed one card left in her hand and Weiss had none, forcing both to draw, "And because Weiss just drew cards, Neo's monster attacks grew to its max." He said as her Silent Magician radiated a white aura, (3000 + 500 = 3500 ATK). The Silent Magician then shout out a white burning beam from her magic staff, obliterating Lady Brilliant Dimond.
Weiss: 4000 – 100 = 3900 Life Points
"Damn it," Weiss said as Neo smirked, causing the heiress obelisk blue to grit her teeth, she then looked down at her hand, "I end my turn."
"Even after replenishing her hand, she didn't play a card." Jaden noticed.
"Her plan must be to set up a new combo her next turn." Alexis responded as she saw Neo draw, "But even after that, Neopolitan got her hand back within that last combo." Neo then pointed at her Silent Magician, the white aura causing the monster to grow from a child into an adult woman, (3500 ATK / 1000 DEF). "She just leveled up her monster to LV8. Making it more threating." Neo them pointed at Weiss another fusion monster, causing the Silent Magician to unleash a blast of energy at it, causing the knight to explode.
Weiss: 3900 – 600 = 3300 Life Points
Weiss gritted her teeth as Neo took five cards in her hand and placed them in her spell and trap zone, ending her turn.
"I'll go," Ruby said as she drew, smiling at the result, "I activate Book of Moon, allowing me to set your monster." She said as she played the spell, but her book break as she had a look of confusion, "Wha?"
"Her monster now is immune to our spell card." Weiss commented, "All you did now is waste one." She said with Ruby having a look of disappointment, causing Yang to shift her anger at the heiress, "Hey, you can be a little nicer, you know." Yang told Weiss, "We're all on the same team here."
"It's okay Yang," Ruby commented, "I set one monster and switch Wynn to defense mode. I end my turn." She said with her monster kneeling a next to a set card.
"Ruby," Yang said in worry to her sister. She then looked over to see Neo smirking, causing the Blond Ra Yellows eyes to turn red, "Okay, no more playing around." She said as she drew a card, seeing at as a powerful monster, "Nice, I send both of my monsters to the grave to tribute summon Infernal Flame Emperor." She said as a massive lion-like beast made of fire appeared on her side of the field, (2700 ATK / 1600 DEF), "I remove both my Pyro monsters in my graveyard, so Flame Emperor can destroy two of your face downs." She said as she took her to monster out of her duel disk, causing two of Neo's faces down to catch fire. As they were destroyed, they were revealed as Mirror Force and Magical Cylinder.
"Not a bad move," Weiss commented, "But your monster is still weaker."
"Not for long. But first, I'll do a more burn damage," Yang said with a wink, "I play Tremendous Fire." She said as a big and small fireball appeared between her and Neo, "I may take 500 points of damage, but you will be taking 1000." The blond Ra Yellow said as the fireballs split off, the big one heading for Neo, and the Small one for Yang.
Neo activated a face-down card, this time a spell that caused Yang to gasp, "Spell of Pain," She as she as the bigger fireball's headed back Yang, causing both of them to collide with her body, As she fell back from the explosion, Neo changed the orientation of her eye color, "That card, it redirect any effect damage back to its user." Yang said as she stood up.
Yang: 4000 – 500 – 1000 = 2500 Life Points
"Are you okay?" Ruby asked.
"I'm fine," Yang said to her sister with a smile before glaring at Neo, "But she won't be. I activate my trap card, Raising Energy." Yang said as she sent the last card in her hand to the graveyard, "I discard a card, but my monster gains 1500 attack points." She said as her Flame Emperor roared, (2700 + 1500 = 4200 ATK). "Now, destroyed that Silent Magician!" She said as her monster reeled back for a fire punch. But, as Yang started to smile, she had a look of horror as a circular glyph encompassed her monster. She then looked over to see Neo revealed a trap card.
"Spellbinding Circle." Weiss commented, "The affected monster cannot attack or change its battle position."
"Damn it!" Yang shouted, "…I end my turn." She said as her monster went back to its original attack points, (4200 - 1500 = 2700 ATK)
"My turn," Weiss said as she drew, "I activate Gem-Knight Fusion from my graveyard, removing Obsidian form the game to aid this to itself back to hand," she took the spell out of her graveyard and played it, "I'll activate it right now." Neo then interrupted with a trap card, "Non-Fusion Area!" Weiss read as Neo smirked.
"That card prevents both players from fusion summoning," Bastion said as before he looked over at Jaden, "It was a card I had in my deck to deal with you."
Weiss gritted her teeth as the spell went back to the grave, preventing her from using it, "If I didn't waste my Mystical Space Typhoon." She said to herself before speaking out loud, "I summon Gem-Knight Tourmaline in defense mode and switch Crystal to that position as well." A knight in yellow armor with lightening defended alongside Weiss current monster knelling, (1600 ATK / 1800 DEF). "I end my turn."
Neo drew, activating the card right away as Graceful Charity. She drew three cards and discarded two. She then set her remaining hand of three cards and attacked Yang's monster with her Silent Magician, who fired a white beam through the monster's chest.
Yang: 2500 – 800 = 1700 Life Points
Near Chazz, Ojama Yellow appeared, wearing a white bandana that said "Fight!" across it, holding a poorly drawn image of Yang on a banner he held with both hands, "Don't give up, I'll be cheering for you all the way!" he said as Neo ended her turn.
"I draw!" Ruby said, but Neo active her facedown trap, "Battle Mania?" Ruby read, "Oh, that forces all of my monsters to attack this turn and switch to attack mode." She said with Neo nodding, Wynn standing up as she left defense mode, "Well, I was planning on doing that anyway." She said with Neo having a look of confusion, "I flip summon Lyna the Light Charmer." She said with Neo's eye color turning white. The white-haired girl with the Happy Lover appeared, (500 ATK / 1500 DEF). She then looked over to the Silent Magician, watching as it walked over to Ruby's side of the field.
"Sweet," Jaden commented, "She not only got rid of the monster, but she is also using it for herself."
"I summon Familiar-Possessed – Aussa in attack mode." She said as the brown-haired girl in glasses stood with her little nefarious rodent, "Now, I attack with Silent Magician!" She said with Neo's monster attacker her original owner. The multi-hair color girl watched as a white beam encamped her whole body, proving to be the most significant hit she has taken.
Neo: 12000 - 3500 = 8500 Life Points
"Awesome Ruby!" Yang said as her sister looked over to her. As the hooded Slifer Red looked over at her, she noticed a smile form on Weiss' face.
Ruby then looked back as she was about to continue her onslaught. However, she noticed Neo smirk as she revealed a face-down card, another continuous trap, "Call of the Haunted?" Ruby said, "Uh, the only monster I think that's in her grave is the LV4 Silent Magician." She said with Neo smirking. Suddenly, Ruby remembered Neo playing graceful charity and discarding two cards. Her eyes then widened as she knew what her plan was, "Oh no." Ruby said as a blond man in a black trench coat appeared before her, wielding a massive sword, (2300 ATK / 1000 DEF).
"That's Silent Swordsman LV5," Bastion commented, "She was able to skip LV3 by summoning it this way," He said as he looked at Ruby's monster encompassed in a red aura, trying to keep themselves from moving forward. The Silent Swordsman then lunged forward, slashing Lyna, Aussa, and Wynn all at the same time. Ruby was flung back in the shockwave before falling on her back.
Ruby: 4000 - 1800 - 450 - 450 = 1300 Life Points
"Ruby!" Yang and Wiess said at the same time, while Neo smirked. Since the monster that controlled her was destroyed, Silent Magician returned her original owners' side.
"I'm okay," Said as she picked herself up, smiling at her opponent, "Those two monsters are pretty strong, I do like that one's sword." She said with Neo bowing. Ruby then looked at her hand and smiled, "I could have activated this sooner, but oh well." Ruby said as she played a card from her hand, "I active Twister. Buy paying 500 life point, I can destroy one face-up spell or trap card." Ruby said as Neo looked to her Silent Swordsman attached to the Call of the haunted. However, Ruby pointed at another trap card, "I'll destroy your Anti-Fusion Area." She said with a gust of wind destroying the trap card.
Ruby: 1300 – 500 = 800 Life Points
"You idiot!" Weiss spoke up, "You could have destroyed Call of the Haunted, destroying her Silent Swordsman."
"I know," Ruby responded, "But you still wouldn't be able to fusion summon." She said with Weiss having a look of realization, "Out of the three of us, you have the best shout of taking out this opponent. But you can do it without your fusion monster." She then smiled as she looked at her, "I messed up, but I know you can do better." She said with Weiss slightly blushing, scoffing to hit, and causing Yang to giggle, "Anyway, I end with one card face down."
"My move." Yang said as she drew, placing the card upon looking at it, "I set one card and end my turn." She looked down at the card on the field, "If I drew Lava Golem, I could have taken out both those monsters, but this will have to work for now."
Weiss hesitated a bit as she placed her hand on her deck to draw, but she then had a look of focus, "I draw!" She said as Neo had a look of interest on her face, "I activated Gem-Knight Fusion from my, banishing Lady Diamond, to add the card to my hand." Weiss then played the card, "Now, I active Gem-Knight Fusion, making another tripe fusion."
"Another one?" Jaden and Alexis commented.
"I fuse Gem-Knights Sardonyx, Iolite, and Sapphire from my hand to make Gem-Knight Master Diamond!" Weiss declared as the three-monster forming in a kingly knight with a gigantic, gem-encrusted sword, (2900 ATK / 2500 DEF), "He also gains 100 attack points forever Gem-Knight in my graveyard, which I have seven." (2900 + 700 = 3600ATK).
"That monster has enough attack to defeat the Silent Magician." Ruby commented, "See, I knew you could do it."
"Too bad Silent Magician won't make it to the Battle Phase." Weiss said as she played a field spell, "I active Fusion Gate, removing Crystal and Tourmaline to Fusion Summon Gem-Knight Prismaura!" She said as her two other monsters vanished, forming it a capped knight with a lance and shield, (2450 ATK / 1400 DEF), "Now, his effect allows me to send a Gem-Knight form my hand to graveyard, like Gem-Knight Amber, and I can destroy one off of your monster," She said before pointing, "Like your Silent Magician!"
Neo's eyes turned white for a second as her monster exploded, vanishing from the field.
"And since I sent another Gem-Knight to the graveyard, Master Diamond gains more attack points." Wiess spoke as her monster raised his sword, (3600 + 100 = 3700ATK) "Now Attack, destroy that Silent Swordsman!" She said with her monster rushing Neo. The Silent Swordsman intercepted the blade with his own, the two bashing against one another. However, Master Diamond's bladed cracked, causing Weiss to panic, "What!?" She then looked over to see Neo active her other face-down card, "Silent Sword Slash." She said as Neo's monster glowed in a teal light, "It gives her monster 1500 more attack points until the end of the turn!" (2300 + 1500 = 3800ATK). Suddenly, the gem-encrusted sword fully broke as a slash cut through to Master Diamond's armor, causing him to explode.
Weiss: 3300 – 100 = 3200 Life Points
Neo grinned as her eyes returned to their normal colors, she looked over to see Weiss still in shock. With her left with nothing to do, Neo made her draw, she played the spell Level Up, causing her Silent Swordsman LV5 to turn into Silent Swordsman LV7, with a much bigger sword, (2800 ATK / 1000 DEF). Neo the pointed at Weiss' Prismaura, leading to Silent Swordsman LV7 slashing it in half.
Weiss: 3200 – 350 = 2950 Life Points
"I'm sorry." Weiss said to Yang and Ruby, "It didn't work."
"It's okay," Yang comforted, "This person is a professional." She said with a look of sadness in her eyes, "If they are this strong, maybe I'm not cut out to be one after all." A moment of silence fell between them as Neo ended her turn.
"Come on, you two sad sacks," Ruby encouraged, "We can't give up now."
"We've been getting our butts kicked this entire duel." Yang pointed out with Weiss nodding.
"So, this is where we turn it around." Ruby said as she drew a card, "Yes," She said as Weiss and Yang had a look of confusion. In the stands, Bastion, Alexis and Chazz wondered as well, but Jaden was smiling. "I Summon Familiar-Possessed – Lyna in attack mode," Ruby said with Neo looking unamused as the retained monster what stole her Silent Magician was, along with the disheveled Happy Lover, (1850 ATK / 1500 DEF). "Now, I activate Spiritual Light Art – Hijiri." She said with a smirk, "With this, I can tribute Lyna. Then, I can bring back a banished monster, but you can negate it with a trap card in your hand." She said with Neo looking at her empty hand, "So, since you don't have one, I can bring back Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond!" She said with Neo's eyes turning white. Weiss Duel Disk glowed as her ace monster appeared on Ruby's side of the field, causing her to grin, (3400 ATK / 2000 DEF). "Now, take down her Silent Swordsman once and for all." She said with the Gem-Knight Rushing at Neo's monster, slashing it before he could react, causing it to explode as Neo gritted her teeth.
Neo: 8500 - 600 = 7900 Life Points
"Nice Ruby!" Yang commented with her little sister winking at her, "Well, I guess I shouldn't have you do all the work." She said as she drew, "I play Pot of Greed, giving me two more cards." She said as she looked at them and smiled, "Frist, I summon Familiar-Possessed – Hiita in attack position." She said as then an orange haired teenage girl with the Firefox appeared at her side, causing Bastion to blush, (1850 ATK / 1500 DEF). "Next, I activate Soul of Fire." She said as she pulled out a card from her deck showing knight holding a flame, "I can remove the Pyro monster Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch and inflict you for half its attack points." She said as her body radiated a fiery aura, her hair glowing as her eyes turned red. She eared back for as if for a punch, but instead launched a ball of fire towards Neo. The pint-sized girl looked for her umbrella but saw that it was blasted away from taking her other attacks. The fireball collided with her body, sending her back in the shockwave.
Neo: 7900 - 1200 = 6700 Life Points
"Not done yet," Yang responded, "Since I cannot attack, I activate Spiritual Fire Art – Kurenai, Tributing Hiita to hit you for more burn damage. This time, for the full attack points!" She said as her monster rushed for Neo, turning into a roaring flame as it passed over her body. Ojama Yellow cheered in overjoy at the massive damage.
Neo: 6700 - 1850 = 4850 Life Points
"My turn," Weiss said as she drew, realizing her monster and grinning, "I summon Familiar-Possessed – Eria." She said with the blue haired mage girl appearing, causing Ruby to smile. Next to the girl was a large reptile-man in a fighting stance, "Now, I attack you directly." She said as the blue haired mage created a ball of water in the air, launching it at Neo as she stood up. The force of the attack knocked her back down.
Neo: 4850 - 1850 = 3000 Life Points
"Now, look who has more life points." Chazz commented, "They really did turn it around." She said as the other students cheered. Neo then stood up as she glared at her opponents, "Their opponent is starting to lose the confidence she had before." He said as Neo drew, playing Pot of Greed to draw two cards. She then removed Silent Sword Slash form her graveyard to add Silent Swordsman LV7 to her hand. Neo then looked over to Ruby, showing her the spell card Smashing Ground. Ruby gasped as the effect of the card destroyed Lady Diamond. Neo then looked at Yang as she played Monster Reborn, causing Silent Swordsman LV5 to appear on her side of the field again, (2300 ATK / 1000 DEF). She then pointed at Yang as the swordsman lunged, slashing her across the chest.
Yang: 1700 – 2300 = 0
"Oh man," Yang said to fell to one knee, "Sorry, but I have to leave the rest to you two." She said with Weiss and Ruby nodding. They all then looked over to see Neo send her monster to the graveyard to bring out Silent Swordsman LV7 again, (2800 ATK / 1000 DEF). Yang then gritted her teeth before standing up and walking off the arena stage.
"My turn," Ruby said as she drew a card, "I set one monster and end my turn."
"I draw," Weiss said as she drew, "I switch Eria to defense mode and summon Gem-Knight Lapis in defense mode." As Eria knelt, a small masked girl with green eyes and lightish brown armor joined her, (1200 ATK / 100 DEF).
Neo drew a card, then pointed at Ruby's set monster, reveling it as Wynn Charmer form as Silent Swordsman cut it in half. She then ended her turn with a card face down in the spell and trap zones.
The whole audience was silent as Ruby drew a card, "…I end my turn."
"Ruby…" Yang said as she looked at her little sister's hands shaking, also noticing Neo smirking.
"What was it you were just saying," Weiss said to Ruby with a gin as she drew, "This is when we make our comeback, I switch Eria to attack mode," She then glared at Neo as Eria stood up, "I summon Gem-Knight Emerald." She said as green-armored knight appeared before her, (1800 ATK / 800 DEF). "Now, I can tribute both him and Lapis to summon back Lady Brilliant Diamond." (3400 ATK / 2000 DEF). Weiss then turned back to Ruby, "Thanks to you bring her back, she went to the graveyard when she left your field." She said with the silver-eyed girl smiling, they both turned back to see Neo gritting her teeth, "Now Lady Brilliant Diamond, attack her Silent Swordsman." She said as her monster repeated her attack from before, bisecting the swordsman again.
Neo: 3000 – 600 = 2400 Life Points
"Eria, attack her directly," Weiss said as then mage unleashed another water attack on Neo. The crowd cheered as Neo hung on by just a thread.
Neo: 2400 - 1850 = 550 Life Points
"Strange," Bastion point out as his friends looked at him, "Weiss could have won if she had brought back Master Diamond instead."
"Why didn't she?" Alexis asked before she realized it, "Neo still has a face-down card."
"Right," Chazz said with a nod, "Considering deadly her spells and traps are, she was going for the motivational play as opposed to the winning play."
"I think that for the best," Jaden said as he looked to see Ruby smiling, "And know they can win this."
Neo drew her card, smiling as she played it. It was a spell card, Level Modulation, "That card lets her bring back an LV monster from her graveyard." Chazz said as Neo brought back Silent Magician LV8, (3500 ATK / 1000 DEF), "She can't attack this turn, and her opponent gets to draw two cards." He said as Neo looked to Ruby to draw two cards, but then looked to Weiss with a smirk. Neo then activated Silent Burning from the grave to add Silent Magician LV4 to her hand. She then revealed her face down as Lighting Vortex. She then discarded her Silent Magician LV4, causing a bolt of lightning to strike down on Weiss' monsters. The Heiress Obelisk blue watches her Lady Diamond and Eria screaming in agony before getting destroyed, "It was a bluff facedown." Weiss said as she had her field wide open as Silent Magician glared at her, Neo ended her turn.
Ruby then drew a card at the start of her turn, but only spoke after a few seconds, "I end my turn."
"What wrong?" Chazz saw, "She should have a monster to play by now to play."
"Maybe, but I think she is waiting for a certain card." Jaden responded, "In order for her to win, she needs to draw it fast."
"My turn," Weiss said as she drew a card, she then looked at her hand. She then looked to Ruby, who was contemplating something in her hand, "I end my turn." Weiss said as the other looked at her in shock. Seeing as her field had nearly nothing.
Neo then drew and looked at Weiss, pointing at her as Silent Magician unleased a white beam that obliterated the rest of her life points.
Weiss: 2950 – 3500 = 0 Life Points
Neo smirked as she played the card she drew, a continuous spell that was a cannon, "Wave-Motion Cannon," Bastion pointed out the card, "She can use it to burn 1000 life point of damage to her opponent every standby phase that passed since its activation."
"With that card, she can win next turn since Ruby only has 800 life points," Alexis said as she noticed Weiss walking off the arena.
"Don't worry," Ruby said as she turned to Weiss, "I have a plan." She said with Wiess having a slight smile before walking off to join Yang, who was leaning against the wall.
"You used yourself as bait, so Neo would attack you instead of Ruby." Yang said, "Thanks."
"You don't have to thank me," Weiss responded as they looked up at Ruby, "Now, what is it she is waiting for."
Ruby then looked back at Neo, who changed the orientation of her eye color as she looked at her, "This is it," Ruby said as she closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, and drawing. The audience was silent as Ruby slowly peaked with her right eye at what she drew, "…Got it." The silver eyes Slifer red said with a smile, playing the card, "I activate Soul Release, removing the five monster monsters in my graveyard from play."
"I get it now," Jaden said as his Winged Kuriboh appeared, "She wants to bring her out." He said with his pal nodding with a smile.
"With no monster in my graveyard, I can special summon Guardian Eatos," Ruby said as she placed another card form her hand, showing the beautiful woman with angelic wings descending before a star stuck crowd, (2500 ATK / 2000 DEF). She and the Silent Magician glared at each other, but Neo smirked at knowing her monster what stronger.
"That's her ace monster?" Weiss asked Yang.
"Yep, it was our mom's old go-to card for a win. She had a pretty cool combo with it." Yang said with a smile as she looked at her little sister, "And Ruby is about to show you what it was."
"I activate Celestial Sword – Eatos, giving her 500 extra attack points," Ruby said as she played a spell form her hand, causing a gleaming sword to appear in Eatos' left hand, (2500 + 500 = 3000 ATK). Neo looked back to her monster, knowing Silent Magician was still stronger, "Now, I activate Eatos' effect. I send her sword to the graveyard, then I get to remove the three monsters that are in yours." Ruby said with a grin, "And for each one, Eatos gains 500 attack points." She said as Neo's eyes turned white. The sword vanished as the pint-sized girl looked at her duel disk glow. Her Silent Swordsman LV5 and LV7 and Silent Magician were removed from play, and Eatos glowed in the same white aura, (3000 - 500 + 1500 = 4000 ATK), "And since Celestial Sword was sent to the grave, Eatos gains 500 Attack point for every banished monster."
"Everyone!?" Weiss said as she looked at her duel disk glow seeing her Gem-Knights Obsidian, Crystal, and Tourmaline appear beside her as spirits before heading to Eatos. Yang then looked to see her Thestalos, and two Solar Flare Dragons join then. Neo them saw her three Silent monsters stand by her side, but their energy went to Eatos. Ruby then looked to see her Charmers and Familiar-Possessed girls stand at her said, meaning Ruby had a total of fourteen monsters that were banished. (4000 + 7000 = 11000 ATK).
"11000 attack points!" Jaden, Alexis, Bastion, and Chazz all saw at the same time as Eatos' wings glowed whiter, expanding over the who stadium. Winged Kuriboh looked an awe as Eatos glared down at Silent Magician, causing Neo to gasp in fear.
"Now Eatos, attack!" Ruby declared as her monster swooped down towards Neo. Silent Magician fried a beam from her staff, but Eatos' aura was too strong. Eatos collided with Neo's monster, creating an explosion bigger than any other in this duel. Neo fell to her knees as her life points hit zero.
Neo: 550 – 7500 = 0 Life Points
The crowd cheered as Ruby was declared the winner. The silver eyed girl looked in disbelief at the cheering crowd before smiling and waving. Yang then ran up behind her sister, getting her in a headlock as she smiled. As Ruby eventually struggled out of it, she noticed Weiss walking up to them, a smile on her face also. The three then looked back to see Neo standing. Even though she was just defeated, she still smiles as she blinked, changing the orientation of her pink and brown eyes. She then slightly bowed before walking off the arena stage. The three then waved as the pint-sized girl left.
"I don't get that girl." Yang said, "But, she is a pretty good pro duelist."
"Ruby," Weiss said as she looked to her. Ruby then looked to see her trying to hand back Eria.
"You can keep it," Ruby said with a smile, "It could come in handy again like it did today."
"Yeah, maybe you're right," Weiss said with a smile as she looked at the card. The three then looked over to see Jaden and his friends walking over to congratulate them.
In the distance and out of their sight was Chancellor Sheppard, who smiled as he looked at the seven students, "Those kids have the potential to do great things." He said as nodded, "I just know it."
AN: And there you go, a dramatic end to the inclusion of four RWBY characters into the GX's world of Duel Academy. This one did take a lot of time to plan and set up, making it a raid duel meant it was all the harder to keep up with. Neo being mute also made this a bit more usually to write, but she is one of the reasons I wanted to do this story in the first place. I know there is a timing issue with Celestial Sword's effect, but it should have been made to work with Eatos from the start since it is her card. It doesn't make the difference in the duel, but it does let me put in some huge attack point values that GX loves to show off. That is all for now, thanks for reading, and have a nice day.
