AN: Hey everyone, I have the next chapter here. Sadly, I had to cancel one of my other stories, but it does mean I can give more focus to this series now. This Duel was a challenge to write for multiple reasons. However, it was a lot of fun with the combos each duelist could make. Weiss and Chazz have a strong opponent before them, using a lot of cards I really like. Hope you enjoy this chapter, leave a review with your comments and questions, and have a nice day.

Chapter 8 – The Caster Shadow Rider
On the other side of the island, Weiss and Chazz walked in silence. However, floating behind Chazz's head were the three Ojama brothers. "Uh, Boss?" Ojama Yellow spoke, "Do we have a plan?"
"We win," Chazz responded with Weiss nodding, causing him to glance over at her.
Her reaction caused Ojama Green and Black to hoover in front of the heiress Obelisk Blue, doing a little dance. After a few seconds, Weiss gave both an icy gaze, "Quit it!" She shouted with both Ojama's freezing in a block of ice.
She and Chazz continued to walk as both Ojamas remained petrified. Ojama Yellow hovered over with an icepick, freeing his bothers, "See, she can see you too." He said with both his brothers nodding.
"No, I don't!" Weiss responded, causing Chazz to look back at her, "…Shut up."
"I didn't say anything," Chazz responded, glancing back at the Ojama brothers, "But I can understand wanting to ignore them." He said with all three sticking their tongues out at him in irritation. He then looked back to the heiress Obelisk Blue, "But, you can't ignore me when we are supposed to be a team here." He said with her looking back to him, "So, when did you start seeing duel monsters?"
Weiss waited a few seconds before sighing, "When I was young, I started hearing voices from cards." She said as her voice filled with sadness, "However, I could never tell anyone in my family."
"Father?" Ojama Black asked.
"He was more focused on the business aspects of his life," Weiss responded as she crossed her arms.
"Siblings?" Ojama Green asked.
"My older sister was already in the duel pro-leagues at the time, never really came home anymore." the heiress Obelisk Blue responded, "And my younger brother wasn't into dueling." She then sighed, "Both of them never would have believed me."
"What about your mother?" Ojama Yellow asked, but Weiss remained silent, "Oh…Uh, what about your friends?" He said, but Weiss remained silent, "Uhhh…butler?" Ojama Yellow said with sweat running down his face, turning to Chazz, "Boss, help?"
"Let me guess, you never told anyone because they could call you a weirdo." Chazz responded with Weiss glaring at him, "Or is it that you never had real friends you could tell?"
"I had friends growing up!" Weiss responded.
"The friends that only hung around you because you were part of a rich family?" The student in a black trench coat responded with Weiss remaining silent, "Yeah, I know the type." He then sighed, "I know what it's like to grow up in that environment."
Weiss broke eye contact as she continued, "…You don't know what it was like for me." She said the others remained silent, "All I did was study and practice for things my father could use to talk up at company meetings: singing, violin, fencing. I have mastered everything; I couldn't fail him or the family name." The heiress Obelisk Blue said before a small smile formed, "However, my father did let me pick one thing to master for myself. Dueling." She then pulled out her deck, looking at all the Gem-Knights, "He may have paid for these cards, but they never felt like a gift from a father to a daughter. He only gave me them to keep me quiet during work, nothing more." She then looked over to see Familiar-Possessed – Eria in her deck, "It's not like when Ruby gave me this card, that felt…"
"Good?" Ojama Black asked.
"Sweet?" Ojama Green asked.
"Heartwarming?" Ojama Yellow asked.
Weiss smiled, "Genuine," She responded, "I didn't notice it at first, but it someone being nice to me with no ulterior motive. She just wanted to help me." Weiss then looked back to Chazz with determination, "So, I'll help her whenever she needs it." She said with a smile as she put her deck away, "Because, that's what a friend does." She said with Chazz smiling back.
The two heard a beeping noise from their scrolls. Chazz took his out and examined the area, "We're close." He said before Weiss pointed at something.
"Over there!" She said, pointing to a building in the distance. They made their way out of the forest onto a dirt road, leading to an abandoned dorm. She and Chazz both looked down at the scroll, know this was the spot. They both nodded to each other before walking past the gate.
Behind them, the Ojama brothers shivered in fear, "I-is that the abandon Obelisk B-blue dorm?" Ojama Green asked.
"The spooky one w-where those kids went missing?" Ojama Black asked.
"The h-haunted one that's r-really s-scary at n-night!?" Ojama Yellow said before the three realized it was daytime. However, they still shivered in fear. Suddenly, the looked to see Weiss and Chazz enter the building, "Hey, wait!" Ojama Yellow called as and his booth followed, phasing through the door.
However, the Ojama brothers gasped upon entering. While the outside looked rundown, the inside of the lobby was immaculate. The floor was polished, the stairs were fixed, and even the rugs were repaired, "Woooow!" The Ojama brothers said in awe.
"It's not that scary now." Ojama Yellow said in a smile.
Weiss heard an odd noise to her left. In looking over, she saw a stray wooden chair wobbling on its own. Suddenly, the chair was propelled towards the heiress Obelisk Blue, "Look out!" Weiss called before she and Chazz dodged the chair. After they, repositioned themselves, the two soon noticed more furniture started to move.
"AAAAAAAHHHH!" Ojama Yellow screamed, "I knew it, this place is haunted!" He said as the three Ojama brothers group hugged in terror, "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" All three screamed.
"Will you two shut up!" Chazz said as he avoided a lamp, "You're all spirits," He said before avoiding a potted plant, "All this stuff would go right through you."
"Oh yeah!" The Ojama's realized as Chazz was hit in the gut by a stray nightstand, causing a loud gasp, "Boss!"
"I'm fine!" He called out before falling to one knee. He then checked over to Weiss, wondering if she was about to dodge this onslaught. However, his eyes widened at the sight. With her eyes closed, she gracefully evaded all the furniture that came her way. Her body moved as though she was gliding on ice. Suddenly, Chazz noticed a suit of armor rocketing towards her. Before he could give the warning, Weiss opened her eyes. She sidestepped the suit of armor before placing her left leg in front of its right. In tripping the armor, she placed her left hand on its back, forcing it to slam into the ground at an improper angle. The armor broke into pieces, the helmet rolling over to Chazz's side. Suddenly, the rest of the furniture stopped moving. While Weiss took a bow.
"Whoa." The Ojama brothers said at the same time as Chazz stood up.
"How exactly did you do-" He said with her answering.
"Adding the list before; ballet and figure skating." Weiss responded, crossing her arms, "As well as self-defense."
"Oh…neat," Chazz responded before they noticed the pieced of the suit of armor moving on their own. However, they simply reformed in the upper right corner of the lobby. Silence then filled the area.
Suddenly, the two heard footsteps coming from the stairway. In looking over, a woman with a white dress shirt and black long-skirt was seen. She wore black stockings walked in matching heeled boots. Her hair was a bleached blond, tied in a bun. On her back was a black and purple cape with devil-tailed ends. On her face was a set of glasses, but they did not hide her piercing green eyes, "Why are you here?" The woman asked as she radiated a dark aura.
"You're a Shadow Rider," Weiss asked with Glynda glaring at her. The heiress Obelisk Blue pulled out her neckless of the key, "This time, we're taking the battle to you."
"Sorry to ruin your remodeling," Chazz said as he readied his duel disk, "But we're here to defeat you!"
The woman sighed, "The kids today are a hopeless generation." She said as she walked down the stairs, extending her left arm, "Always thinking they can do whatever they want." Suddenly, a duel disk flew out of one hallway, guiding to her left hand. "Never thinking about the consequences." She said before readying her duel disk.
Suddenly, Chazz noticed the frame of her duel disk, "That's a Duel Academy's Staff model. Like Professor Crowler, but not strapped to the chest." He though before asking himself a question, "Was she a teacher to this school?"
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch," The Caster Shadow Rider declared, "And I will take both of you on at the same time."
"Two-against-one." Weiss clarified as she readied her duel disk, "That's fine by me."
"Yeah," Chazz said as he took out his deck, causing the Ojama brothers to return to their cards. He loaded his duel disk as the game was about to start.
"Duel!" All three said at the same time.
Weiss: 4000 Life points
Chazz: 4000 Life points
Glynda: 8000 Life points
"I'll go first," Glynda said as she drew, playing the monster immediately. "I summon Defender, The Magical Knight in defense mode." Appearing on the Caster Shadow Rider's side of the field was a blue garbed mage with a dagger in his right hand and a great shield in his left, (1600 ATK / 2000 DEF). The red gem in the center of the shield gleamed as Glynda looked at her hand, "I set three cards and end my turn."
"My turn," Weiss said as she drew, but Glynda activated a one her facedown cards.
"I play Anti-Spell Fragrance," Glynda responded as a demonic pot with a sinister smile appeared in the center of the field, emitting a white mist., "Now, spell cards must be set before they can be played." She said with both Weiss and Chazz gasping, "Not only that, they cannot be activated until the next turn after you set them." The Caster Shadow Rider crossed her arms, "In any duel, you have to adjust to your opponent's playstyle."
"Tsk," Weiss said before looking at her hand, "I summon Gem-Knight Amber in attack mode." The heiress Obelisk blue summoned a yellow clade knight with a lighting dagger on her side of the field, (1600 ATK / 1400 DEF). She then took three cards out of her hand, "I end with two face downs and a card set in my field card zone."
Glynda then turned her gaze to Chazz, "My move," He said as he drew, "I summon X-Head Cannon in attack mode." A humanoid tank without legs appeared on the student in a black trench coat's side of the field, (1800 ATK / 1500 DEF). "Then, I think I'll end with only two facedown cards"
Glynda drew, glancing at the card before playing it, "I summon Breaker, The Magical Warrior in attack mode." She announced a red armored knight appeared. This one with a straight sword and normal-sized shield, (1600 ATK / 1000 DEF). the blue gem on shield gleamed as its attack points grew, (1600 + 300 = 1900 ATK). The Caster Shadow Rider focused on Weiss, "I use Breaker's effect to remove one spell counter to destroy a spell or trap card on your field." She said with the red magician's sword glowing, "I'll destroy your first set card." Glynda declared before Breaker made a vertical slash in the air, creating a sonic slash that cut Weiss face down in half. (1900 - 300 = 1600 ATK).
Weiss watched as her Mystical Space Typhoon was slashed, causing her to glare at Glynda, "How did you know that card was my-"
"Don't assume I'm cheating!" Glynda cut off, "I have seen hundreds of students duel at this academy. Each one making the same moves and mistakes without learning." Weiss took a step back, "As soon as you saw my Anti-Spell Fragrance you glanced to your rightmost card. I can tell you were looking at a card that could destroy mine. And I watched you set it first." Glynda said with Weiss gritting her teeth, "If you want to get better, stop complaining and pay attention!" Glynda said before her body glowed in a dark aura, revealing a face-down spell card, "I activate Magical Dimension by tributing Breaker." She said as the red magician jumped back into a golden coffin bound by a chained rig, "Now, I can summon Chaos Command Magician in attack mode!" She said as a deep green-robed magician wielding a staff jumped out of the coffin, (2400 ATK / 1900 DEF). "Also, I can destroy one monster on the field."
Suddenly, Weiss' Gem-Knight Amber exploded. In the shockwave, she activated a face-down trap card, "I play Soul Rope. Since a monster on my field was destroyed, I can pay 1000 life points to special summon a level four monster from my deck." The heiress obelisk blue said as card eject halfway out her deck, "I choose Gem-Knight Sapphire in defense mode." She said as the aqua knight appeared on her side of the field, (0 ATK / 2100 DEF).
Weiss: 4000 – 1000 = 3000 Life points
Weiss' body pulsated as she fell to one knee, causing Chazz to look over in a panic, "Hey, be careful!" He said as the heiress Obelisk Blue's breathing was heavy, "Even if you pay life points, it's still real damage."
"I'm fine, this is nothing." Weiss said as she stood up, the image of Ruby in the infirmary bed coming to her mind, "It's nothing compared to what she has been through." Weiss thought as Glynda turned to Chazz. The heiress Obelisk Blue then looked back to him in panic, "Watch out!"
"Chaos Command Magician attacks X-Head Cannon," Glynda ordered as her monster unleashed a deep green blast of magical energy from its staff. Chazz turned to see his machine exploded the shockwave sending him back a few feet.
"AAAA!" He said before landing on his back.
Chazz: 4000 – 600 = 3400 Life points
Glynda set the last card in her hand, "I end my turn." She then glared towards Weiss, "Your move."
Chazz pushed himself up as Weiss refocused back on her opponent, "I draw," She said before playing the card, "I summon Gem-Armadillo." She said as a light brown armadillo emerged from the ground onto her side of the field, (1700 ATK / 500 DEF). "And since he was normal summoned, I get to add a Gem-Knight to my hand. And I choose Gem-Knight Crystal." Weiss said before revealing her field spell, "I activate Fusion Gate, allowing me to fusion summon by removing the materials from play." The heiress Obelisk Blue said before her taking her two new cards, "I remove Crystal and Armadillo from play to fusion summon Gem-Knight Zirconia!" The two gems monsters merged in a massive knight with pillars for arms, his body creating a tremble upon landing, (2900 ATK / 2500 DEF).
"Now, you're mine." Glynda responded with Weiss having a look of confusion, "I activate Solemn Warning. By paying 2000 life points, your monster's summon is negated." She said before Zirconia exploded, Weiss shielded herself from the blast wave.
Glynda: 8000 – 2000 = 6000 Life points
"There is a time and a place to make a counterattack. You choose the wrong moment to waste so many resources on a pointless fusion monster." Glynda said before Weiss ended with a face down. The Caster Shadow Rider turned to Chazz, "Will you do better?"
"Let's find out!" Chazz announced before drawing, "First, I activate Call of the Haunted to bring back X-Head Cannon." He said as the machine returned from the graveyard in attack position, (1800 ATK / 1500 DEF). "Next, I summon Y-Dragon Head in attack mode." The student in a black trench coat said with a red jet in the shape of dragon appeared, (1500 ATK / 1600 DEF). He then revealed his face down spell card, "I activate Frontline Base, letting me bring out another union monster. So, I pink Z-Metal Tank." He said before a yellow tank with a mechanic eye-rolled onto his said of the field, (1500 ATK / 1300 DEF). "Now, I can fuse all three," Chazz declared as the machines broke apart, reforming into the deadly tank combination, "To make XYZ-Dragon Cannon!" he said as the deadly tank sparked with blue electricity, (2800 ATK / 2600 DEF).
"Hm, not bad," Weiss said with a smile.
"I'm not done yet." Chazz responded as his monster aimed its cannons at the deep green magician, "I discard a card so that Dragon Cannon destroys your Chaos Command Magician."
"Wait Chazz!" Weiss warned but it was too late.
"Fire!" Chazz ordered with his XYZ-Dragon Cannon unleashing a double-barrel beam of energy. However, Chaos Command Magician deflected the beam with his staff, "What?"
"Idiot!" Weiss shouted, "That monster can negate targeted affected towards it." She said with a scowl, "You should have used the effect on Defender, then attack Chaos Command Magician."
"So, I'll attack it him right now!" Chazz said as he pointed at the deep green magician, "Go XYZ-Dragon Cannon, attack!" He said before the deadly tank unleashed another beam. This one connected with its target, causing Chazz to smirk. However, the smoke cleared to reveal Chaos Command Magician still standing, "What!?"
Glynda: 6000 – 400 = 5600 Life points
"Defender removes his spell counter to prevent my spellcaster from being destroyed." Glynda informed, "Another effect you should have been aware of already." She said as Chazz gritted his teeth, ending his turn with a face down. "My turn." Glynda drew, then looked to Weiss, "I switch Defender to attack mode and will destroy your Gem-Knight Sapphire with my Chaos Command Magician!" The Caster Shadow Rider said with Weiss gritting her teeth, a line of sweat running down her face.
"No, you don't!" Chazz interrupted as he reveled his trap card, "Staunch Defender, now you have to attack my XYZ-Dragon Cannon." Glynda scowled as her magicians rushed the deadly tank, "I'll take both of them down at the same time." The student in a black trench coat said before his Dragon Cannon unleashed a double blast. Each shot pierced the magicians' chests before they exploded. Glynda shielded herself from the shockwave as her monsters were no more.
Glynda: 5600 – 400 – 1200 = 4000 Life points
"You…," Weiss said as she looked to Chazz.
Suddenly, Chazz spoke to Weiss, but was still focused on Glynda, "We're even now," He said with the heiress Obelisk Blue having a slight look of confusion, "Back in the cave."
Weiss didn't say anything before scowling at their opponent, "I still would have had life points left, you still owe me more," Weiss said before sighing, "But…Thank you."
"This duel is far from turning in your favor." Glynda said as she revealed her facedown spell card, "I activate Pot of Greed." She said before drawing two cards, "Next, I set one monster and one card face down." The Caster Shadow Rider said before ending her turn.
Weiss drew, but scowled at the results, "I end my turn." She begrudgingly responded.
Chazz draws with a smile, "I active XYZ-Dragon Cannon's effect." He said with discarding the card he drew, the cannons aiming at Glynda's set monster, "Say bye-bye to your defenses." He said before the cannons fired, obliterating the set monster. "Now, I'll attack directly!" The student in a black trench coat declared. However, he looked over to see the XYZ-Dragon Cannon fade away into from the field, "Huh?" He said before looking over to Glynda's side of the field, seeing the trap she laid.
"Compulsory Evacuation Device." Glynda said with her arms crossed, "I can send your monster back to your hand. Since it was a fusion monster, it went to the extra deck instead." She said with Chazz mouth a gap, his hand and field were now empty. "My turn now," The Caster Shadow Rider drew playing the other card in her hand, "I summon Magician's Valkyria." A female mage with hook-shaped in her left hand appeared, (1600 ATK / 1800 DEF). "Attack him directly." She declared before Magician's Valkyria fired a ball of blue sparking energy at Chazz's chest, launching him back in agony.
Chazz: 3400 – 1600 = 1800 Life points
"I end with one card face down." Glynda said before looking to Weiss, "Your turn."
Weiss drew and smiled, "There we go," She said before glaring at Glynda, "I fuse Sapphire and Tourmaline to make Gem-Knight Topaz." The heiress Obelisk Blue said before her blue knight merged with a yellow electric knight to form a golden knight with duel wield short blades, (1800 ATK / 1800 DEF).
"Again, you make the same mistake." Glynda said before revealing her face down card, "Solemn Judgment. For half my life points, your monster is destroyed." She said before Topaz exploded. Weiss gritted her teeth as she ended her turn.
Glynda: 4000 – 2000 = 2000 Life points
Glynda then turned to Chazz as he drew a card. However, he grimaced at the result, "…I summon Ojama Yellow in defense mode."
The small man in the red speedo appeared, (0 ATK / 1000 DEF). "Don't worry Boss, I got this!" Ojama Yellow said as he knelt now realizing he was the only card on the field, "Wait, things are this bad!?" He said before looking back to Chazz, "I take it back, put me back in the deck!"
Glynda sighed, "I understand wanting to put your favorite card in your deck," Said before drawing her card, "But it can throw off the synergy of your archetype."
"Hey, this thing is not my favorite monster!" Chazz shouted back.
"Then, why do you still it in your deck?" Weiss asked as she turned to him.
"You're not helping," Chazz responded before noticing Glynda's attack, "Look out!" He warned as Weiss looked back, seeing the energy ball about collide with her body. The heiress Obelisk Blue's body slammed into the wall as she fell to her knees.
Weiss: 3000 – 1600 = 1400 Life points
"Pay attention," Glynda said before setting the card she drew in the spell and trap zone ending her turn. Weiss slowly pushed herself up, drew her card, but could not do anything. Chazz drew his card, but also could not make a move. Glynda sighed before she drew, "I summon a second Magician's Valkyria." She said before playing the card she drew, bring out an identical mage to her current one, (1600 ATK / 1800 DEF). The Caster Shadow Rider then focused on Chazz, "Both attack him." The first Magician's Valkyria unleashed a blast toward Ojama Yellow, who screamed in terror before exploding. The second Magician's Valkyria launched another sphere of energy into Chazz's chest. He fell back to the ground like before, struggling harder to push himself up.
Chazz: 1800 – 1600 = 200 Life points
"Both of you are one attack away from losing." Glynda spoke to her opponents, "Give up now, and save yourself from more pain."
"Why?" Chazz said as he stood up, "Why are you like this?"
"Yeah," Weiss added on, "Why are you trying to teach us?" She said with Glynda gasping, "You talk about reading your opponent, but we figured you out a long time ago."
"You were the headteacher of the old Obelisk Blue dorm," Chazz inferred, "People always talk about the missing students, but you also vanished from the Academy as well." He said with Glynda remaining silent, "Have you been looking for them all this time?"
"…I considered them my children." Glynda responded, her eyes filling with despair, "When they all vanished, I felt a part of me vanish as well." Weiss and Chazz watched as a tear started to run down from Glynda's left eye, "I searched everywhere for them, but I couldn't find even a hint as to where they went." She said while clenching her right fist, "Then, I met a woman named Cinder." She said before looking back to her opponents, "She promised to tell me what happened to my students if I helped her." The Caster Shadow Rider then looked at her right hand, unclenching the fist, and seeing her hands trembling, "I agree, but I hate every second of my role in her plan."
"This 'Cinder' you just mention," Chazz asked, "Does she wear a red dress and has long black hair?" He said with her looking back with a slight nod.
"That woman was the Shadow Rider that attacked Ruby, another student!" Weiss shouted to Glynda, "She practically gave my friend a heart attack in the duel!" She said with Glynda gritting her teeth, "Not to mention Atticus, wasn't he one of your students?" The heiress Obelisk Blue asked with Glynda gasping.
"He was a brainwashed Shadow Rider," Chazz added on, "And if I had to guess, I think we all know who brainwashed him!"
Glynda gritted her teeth, looking down at her duel disk, "How could I be so stupid!?" She said to herself in rage, "I will not be your pawn anymore!" She said as she was about to put her hand over the deck, ready to surrender. However, a dark aura pulsated from her body. Glynda's eyes widened as she froze. Chazz and Weiss watched as the dark aura covered their opponent's body. As Glynda raised her head, her green eyes were now vacant of light, "It's your move." The Caster Shadow Rider spoke in an emotionless voice.
"Well, this is just got worse for us," Chazz said as Weiss drew, "Anything?"
Weiss gritted her teeth before setting a card, "Nothing I can use a comeback." She said as Chazz drew, "What about you?"
Chazz looked at the card and set it, "If I could last until the next turn." He said as Glynda drew, focusing on him, "But it looks like that's not gonna happen."
The Caster Shadow Rider then pointed at the student in a black trench coat, "Attack." She declared as one of the Magician's Valkyria fired a blast from her hook staff. Chazz shut his eyes before impact but reopened then upon not feeling any pain. He looked to see the blast was blocked in a type of barrier. Chazz turned to Weiss, seeing revealed trap card, Negate Attack.
"Now, you owe me more," Weiss said to Chazz but was not looking at him directly. She instead focused on Glynda, who set the card she drew and ended her turn. The heiress Obelisk Blue drew, gritting her teeth, "If you want to pay me back in full." She said before setting the card, then turning to Chazz. "You can win this duel."
Chazz smiled with a nod before he drew, refocusing on his opponent. "I activate the spell I laid the last turn, Level Modulation." He said before pointing to Glynda, "You get to draw two cards," He then pointed to his duel disk, "I get to special summon a LV monster from my graveyard." Weiss had a look of confusion for a second until she remembered the cards Chazz discarded for XYZ-Dragon Cannon, "I'm bringing back Armed Dragon LV5." The boxer dragon with drills roared as it appeared on his said of the field, (2400 ATK / 1700 DEF).
"A pointless move," Glynda responded as she drew two cards, "Even if you could attack, Magician's Valkyria prevents you from attack any other spellcaster."
"With two on the field, it's a perfect defense," Weiss said to Chazz.
"Doesn't matter to The Chazz." He responded with a smirk, "Next turn, I can use Armed Dragon's effect to destroy one and attack the other. Then, I can level him up and win this duel." He said with Weiss smiling.
"That will not happen." The Caster Shadow Rider said with her opponents looking to her in confusion. She drew before revealing her face down spell card, a ritual spell card, "I activate Black Magic Ritual." She said with Chazz gasping as two golden chalices and a spellbinding circle appeared on the ground, "I sacrifice both Magician's Valkyria," Glynda said as her monster turned into a black mist, each entering one of the chalices, causing the spellbinding circle to pulsate, "To summon Magician of Black Chaos." She said before a vertical pillar of purple light erupted from the spellbinding circle. In the center, a mage in a blackish-blue attire with his arms crossed against his chest. His hair was black, and his skin was blue. As his eyes opened, the piercing yellow eyes glared at his opponents. He then reached out his right arm, causing a black scepter to spawn. As he reposed with his weapon, a dark aura pulsated through the area unlike anything before, (2800 ATK / 2600 DEF).
"I-I haven't seen anyone use that card," Weiss said in fear.
"Since the King of Games played one." Chazz finished as the Chaos Magician glared at him.
"Attack with Scepter Strike," Glynda ordered. The magician of black chaos unleashed a purple blast of energy larger than another other before. The sphere ripped thought the floor before crashing into the Armed Dragon LV5. As Chazz's monster exploded, he was flung back in a shockwave. His body slamming into one of the pillars before sliding into a sitting position. His eyes closed as his head leaned down. Around his neck, the key faded away.
Chazz: 200 – 400 = 0 Life points
"Chazz!" Weiss cried out before seeing the Ojama brothers emerged from his deck.
"BOSS!" All three brothers said at the same time with tears in their eyes. Suddenly, each gritted their teeth as they glared at the Magician of Black Chaos.
"How dare you do this to him!" Ojama Black shouted.
"Nobody hurts the Boss like that." Ojama Green added on.
"You mess with him; you mess with all us!" Ojama Yellow declared. However, The Magician of Black Chaos had an emotionless glare at all three of them. While the Ojama's maintained their scowls, they could not hide their wobbling legs.
"The three of you, just make sure he's okay," Weiss said to the Ojama brothers before she focused on Glynda. "I'll finish what we started." She said as the Caster Shadow Rider ended her turn with a face-down card. "Now, it's my turn," Weiss said as she drew, looking at her hand and her set card. "It's a start," Weiss said to herself before she set the card, "But I need a lot of luck if I want to win."
"Draw," Glynda responded with the start of her turn, "Magician of Black Chaos attacks you directly." She said before the chaos magician unleashing another scepter strike, "It's over."
"Not yet!" Weiss responded with a trap card, "I activate Birthright, letting me bring back Gem-Knight Amber." She said as the yellow lightning knight reappeared from the begin of the duel, (1600 ATK / 1400 DEF).
However, Glynda responded in kind, "I activate my trap card, Magician's Circle." She said with Weiss gasping, "I can special summon a spellcaster from my deck with 2000 or less attack point." The Caster Shadow Rider said before a card ejected from her deck, "I choose Blast Magician." Appearing next to the Magician of Black Chaos was a red-robed mage wielding a short-bladed scythe and sinister smirk on his face, (1400 ATK / 1700 DEF). "Now, I will destroy Gem-Knight Amber," Glynda said before the first attack returned the yellow lightning knight to the graveyard with an explosion. Weiss shielded herself from the smoke as her life points fell.
Weiss: 1400 – 1200 = 200 Life points
"Now, Blast Magician attacks you directly-" Glynda was saying but stopped herself. As the smoke cleared a new monster was on Weiss' side field. A blue-haired mage wielding a staff stood next to the heiress Obelisk Blue, (1850 ATK / 1500 DEF).
"Did you forget that your trap card allows me to special summon a spellcaster monster as well?" Weiss asked with Glynda remaining silent, "This time, you underestimated your opponent." She then glanced over to Familiar-Possessed Eria, thinking to herself, "Ruby's card seems to always show up when I need it."
"That only postposes your loss by a single turn." Glynda said before looking at the card she drew, seeing it as the trap Magical Cylinder, "Nothing you draw can save you." She said with setting the card and ending her turn.
Weiss smirked as she drew, "You're right," She said as she put the card in her hand, taking out another one she drew earlier, "Because the card is already in my hand!" The heiress Obelisk Blue said before sending her monster to the graveyard, "Despite normally needing two sacrifices, I can tribute only Eria to summon this monster." He declared as her spellcaster tightened her grip on her staff, "Come on out, Blizzard Princess!"
As the water familiar possessed left the field, a new ace monster appeared. She wore a white dress with blue lining, the skirt ready for combat. Her hair was a short light blue, decorated with a golden crown on her head. In her right hand was a pole with a chain attached to one end. At the other end of the chain was a massive ball of ice the size of her body. The bubbly and cheerful smile was seen on the battlefield, (2800 ATK / 2100 DEF).
Slowly, Chazz opened his eyes as he regained consciousness. The Ojama brother started crying in joy as he looked at the duel. His vision blurry, he looked over to see Weiss' monster on the field, "Wait, is that-" The student in a black trench coat was saying, noticing the look of determination in the eyes of Blizzard Princess that matched someone he and Weiss knew.
"Now, I activate the spell card I set a while ago." Weiss said as she revealed a card with a circular stone with runes on it, "Megamorph, and equip it to Blizzard Princess." She said as her monster glowing in a yellow light, "Since my life points are less than yours, Blizzard Princess' attack points double."
"Double!?" Chazz responded.
"DOUBLE!?" The Ojama brothers shouted.
Blizzard Princess grinned as she readied her weapon, (2800 + 2800 = 5600 ATK). "Go!" Weiss ordered as Blizzard Princess jumped, swinging her ice flail
"The attack increase is irrelevant," Glynda coldly responded, "I activate my trap-" She was saying until she noticed her trap card was frozen on the field, "What?"
"After Blizzard Princess is normal summoned," Weiss said as she pointed to her opponent, "You cannot active spells or traps for the rest of the turn!" She said as Glynda gasped, looking up at ice flail about to crash into her Magician of Black Chaos, "Now, the lesson is over!" Weiss announced before Blizzard Princess crushed the chaos magician under the ice. The shockwave echoed through the whole dorm as Glynda screamed in agony.
Glynda: 2000 – 2800 = 0 Life points
The dark aura was ripped from The Caster Shadow Rider's body, the light returning to her eyes. Glynda then fell to her knees before closing her eyes, her body then falling to the right side as she fainted.
At the other end of the field, after the monsters had faded, Weiss fell to her right knee. She panted in exhaustion as she looked at the floor, "That was too close for comfort." She said before noticing the Ojama brothers near her face, each smiling at her.
"That was amazing!" Ojama Black complimented.
"You pulled it off!" Ojama Green flattered.
"You're really are like a Queen of Ice!" Ojama Yellow praised.
"S-shut up!" Weiss said as her face turned red, turning away, "I don't need praise from freaks like you!"
However, in turning away. She saw Chazz standing up next to her, offering his left hand. He smiled down at the heiress Obelisk Blue. After a few seconds, Weiss smiled back, taking his hand as he helped her get back up.
AN: There you go, one more Shadow Rider down. Glynda had a fun deck to write being spellcaster focused with lockdown potential. The other archetype I considered was Lightsworns, but that is still a hard type to keep track of in this writing process. Chazz and Weiss gave it everything they had. While they lost one key, Weiss managed to save the win with Blizzard Princess, a monster she added to her deck because of Ruby's card. Speaking of Weiss, it was fun giving her more backstory here and showing her vulnerable side. Next chapter, Alexis gets a visitor. But whom, you'll have to wait and see. That is all for now, thanks for reading, and hope to see you in the next chapter.
Now, answering some questions I could not respond to. Blake's deck is not ninja's, mainly because those are not a fun type of monster to write for me. With Emerald and Mercury, like I said, I would have to stretch a lot with ideas of decks for them. I was considering a Wind deck for Mercury, with his ace being Simorgh. And Emerald, all I could think would be Trickstars. The problem with both characters is they are given so little context in the show that it is hard to think of a good deck for them to use. Moreover, I don't really like either character that much, so it's why I skipped then as well, (To avoid a future question, Jaune will never appear in this series). Also, I will only be using Fusion summons as extra deck plays. Since this is the GX era, that is all I will work with. However, I will still use tuner monster, but they will not be used for synchro summon. I will use pendulum monsters, but never will use their scaling or their scale effect. Think of both as just regular effect monsters in this context. My favorite archetypes in Chaos Dragons, it was what I played in local tournaments. The GX character may use support that came out later for their decks, (Like Jaden using Prisma because that card is too good for him not to play) but I will not have them depend on those cards. I plan to stick to what they used in the show and not much else. I do want to give Jaden Neos and the support, but that must wait until after this arc. And as for Dr. Crowler, he is on vacation now, but will come back after this arc. As a kid when I watch the show, I didn't like the character. But rewatching it many years later, he is now one of my favorites. And in Season Four, he has one of my favorite duels in GX.
