Chapter 26 – The Next Year: Blue Pt. 2

Just outside one of the duel arenas, a mass of students from all classes gathered. The Slifer Reds talked with their departing friend in black, "Congratulations on making it to Obelisk Blue." Ruby said with Chazz holding his head high, "Still, you're not stopping the addition to Slifer Red Dorm?"

"Why would I, it's already paid for." Chazz said before crossing his arms, "Besides, I like the view from that side of the island."

"Aw, that's just your way of saying you would miss us." Jaden teased.

"Can it, Slacker!" Chazz retorted, causing Jaden to chuckle.

Ruby smiled as Blair looked on, a small smile forming as well, "People here are so nice." The maiden Slifer Red said before looking over to Ra Yellow students.

"I can't believe you're abandoning us," Yang said as she hugged Blake.

"Yang, I'm not leaving the island. We're still in all the same class." Blake responded as Yang did not let go, "All that will be different is I'll be wearing a darker color uniform."

"Yeah, bright colors don't suit you." Tyranno said as the shadowy Obelisk Blue glared at her, "What?"

"It is still a huge honor," Bastion commented, "Not many can enter Obelisk Blue through placement test as you did."

"Eh, I bet I can get in there within a few months," Nora responded with grin.

Yang then let go of Blake and smiled, "Still, we should celebrate." She said to everyone before smirk, "And I have a something I have been saving away that we can-"

Suddenly, a shrill voice was heard, "Excuse me!?" The students turned around to see a teacher in an elaborate Obelisk Blue long coat with pink frills. The hair was a bleached blond in a bowl cut and ponytail. With crescent earrings and purple lipstick, the gaze of this teacher was piercing, "Might you tell me what you are hiding?"

"Sorry, Miss-" Yang responded.

"No." The teacher responded; arms crossed.

"Sorry, Mr.-" Ruby tried to correct.

"No." The teacher said with both sisters going silent. Nora looked down at the teacher's lower body, confused. "It is Dr. Crowler, I Ph.D. in dueling for a reason." He then looked over to see Jaden waving, "Oh, you are still on this island?"

"Hey, long time no see," Jaden said with a smile, "How was your vacation?"

"It was not a vacation; I was teaching abroad in Venice." Dr. Crowler responded slightly pouting as he looked away, "Which just so happens to be where my mother lives and let me say home for the time."

"Awesome, I can see why you didn't want to leave," Jaden responded with a giggle, "Maybe I should go there one of these days."

"You will do no such thing!" Dr. Crowler responded before looking at all students, "Why are so many of you here and not in classes?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice spoke up, "Because I wanted my friends to see me win." Dr. Crowler turned around to Weiss speaking to him, Alexis close behind, "I wish to duel you to become the Strongest Obelisk Blue."

"I already got permission from the other professors to let everyone here watch the duel." Alexis said, speaking for her friends, "Everything is all set up."

"Of course, they would listen to you." Dr. Crowler said before looking back to Weiss, slightly squinting, "Hold on, you're the Heiress to Schnee company."

"I am." Weiss said before smirking, "As a bit of stacks to our duel, if you win, I will call up my father to see if he can donate to the Academy in your name."

"Hm, I could use that to leverage a few favors from the Headmaster. Like kicking out a certain Slifer," Dr. Crowler manically thought before speaking up, "You do seem very confident in proving yourself." He said before crossing his arms, "Very well, let's see if you can back that up with skill."

"That was my intention," Weiss said with a smirk before they entered the arena.

As the other students took their seats in the front row, Ruby walked past Alexis, "Hey, what's up with Weiss?" the hooded Slifer Red asked, "She's always been confident to prove herself, but now she seems…overconfident." She said before seeing the heiress Obelisk Blue ready her duel disk, "I feel like it's been so long since I have seen her last."

Alexis sighed, "After everything last year, Weiss spent all her free time studying and practicing every aspect of Duel Monsters." She said then turned back Ruby, "It paid off, she has a long-running win streak in the dorm now." The lovely Obelisk Blue said before looking at Weiss, "She wants to make sure she'll never lose again because she feels she let us down before."

Chazz groaned, "Do I have to reteach my lesson to her?" He said before looking to Ruby but saw that she was focused on heiress Obelisk Blue.

"Weiss," Ruby softly said with sorrow in her eyes, "You don't have to win every duel. We already beat the bad-" She said before seeing Dr. Crowler put on his duel disk, causing Ruby's silver eyes to light up, "WOW, what is that!?" She sped off from her seat, leaving a flurry of rose petals behind, "This is such a cool duel disk mount." The hooded Slifer Red said within the headteacher of Obelisk Blue's personal space, then gasped, "It has a motion sensor that ejects the cards on the draw, amazing!"

"Will you calm down!" Dr, Crowler ordered, causing Ruby to step back, "Why is it that you Slifer Reds are either overly energetic or overly lazy?" He asked with Ruby not coming up with the words, "Well?"

"Hey, leave her alone," Weiss called as she gained both their attention, "Your duel is with me, remember?"

"Hm, yes." Dr. Crowler responded, allowing Ruby to walk away.

As the hooded Slifer Red walked back to her seat, she looked back at her focused friend, "She may be a bit cold," Ruby said before smiling, "But at her core, she is still Weiss." She said before returning to her seat.

"Duel!" Both said as the match began.

Weiss: 4000 Life Points

Dr. Crowler: 4000 Life Points

"I'll go first," Weiss said as she drew, then glanced over to Blake with a smirk, "You're not the only one with this card." She said before returning to the duel, playing a continuous spell, "I activate Future Fusion, sending Gem-Knight Lapis and Lazuli to the graveyard. So, in two turns, I can fusion summon Gem-Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli." The heiress Obelisk Blue said before one of the cards ejected from her graveyard, "However, I can use Lazuli's effect to add Lapis back to my hand." She said before playing another spell, "I activate Gem-Knight Fusion, merging my Lapis, Garnet, and Crystal to make Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond!" Weiss announced as the gleaming gem-knight leaped out of a vortex, her sword at the ready, (3400 ATK / 2000 DEF). "Now, I end with one card facedown."

"Hm, an impressive first turn summon," Dr. Crowler said before drawing, the card launching into his hand, "First, I play Confiscation. For 1000 life points, I can send a card in your hand to the graveyard."

"A bit of waste, since I only have one card," Weiss said before turning the card around, but Dr. Crowler smirked.

Dr. Crowler: 4000 – 1000 = 3000 Life Points

"It doesn't look that way to me," Dr. Crowler said before pointing at the resurrection spell card, "Monster Reborn, to the graveyard." He said as Weiss did so.

"Huh," Jaden commented, "I had the weirdest sense of Déjà vu."

"Now, young heiress, feast your eyes on this." Dr. Crowler said as he played a spell, "I activate Polymerization, fusing my three Ancient Gear Golems." The headteacher of Obelisk Blue said as a massive vortex appeared behind him, the three mech titans spinning around each other, "To make Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem!" He declared before the rusty trojan-like mech was summoned onto the field, (4400 ATK / 3400 DEF).

"Wow, when did you start messing around with fusions?" Jaden called out, "Did my Flame Wingman leave you wanting to try the poly spell."

"Hardly, and don't remind me of that duel?" Dr. Crowler called out, "It is a loss I would rather forget."

"Wait, you lost to a Slifer Red student?" Weiss said with Dr. Crowler gritting his teeth.

"Well, technically I wasn't a student yet?" Jaden corrected, not seeing Dr. Crowler red with rage.

"That's it, I will not be made a fool of!" Dr. Crowler shouted, ignoring other card in his hand, "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem, attack Lady Brilliant Diamond with Ultimate Mechanized Melee!" He declared with the rusty trojan-like mech reeling back his right arm, then punching the gleaming gem-knight, "Heh, It looks like diamonds are breakable."

Weiss: 4000 – 1000 = 3000 Life Points

"Hey!" Nora called out, "That was my joke!" Suddenly, the field was struck with a blinding light, "Huh?" She said before seeing Lady Brilliant Diamond at the center of the glow.

Dr. Crowler shielded his eyes from the light, but then saw his opponent smirking, "I know your Ancient Gear monster are legendary, with effects that negate spell and traps until the end of the damage step." Weiss before looking at her now activated trap card, "So, I have this card specially to counter them, Brilliant Spark!" The heiress Obelisk Blue said her monster's body exploded in orange lighting, "If a Gem-Knight monster is destroyed, you take damage equal to its original attacks." Weiss said before Dr. Crowler was struck with the lightning, "It's over."

Dr. Crowler: 3000 – 3400 = 0 Life Points

"Wow, she wiped the floor with him," Tyranno commented.

"She was prepared for this duel." Alexis commented, then looking over to Dr. Crowler, who was on his hands and knees, "But I wish she would have slowed down. He didn't need to lose like that."

Dr. Crowler looked at the last card in his hand, seeing it as Heavy Strom, gritting his teeth, "If that no good Slifer Red didn't distract me, I could have-"

"How disappointing," Weiss said before sighing, "I can't call myself the Strongest Obelisk Blue off a win like that."

"Weiss, you do get that those titles are all subjective," Blake called out, "They don't matter that much."

"Says the former Strongest Ra Yellow," Weiss retorted.

"Hey, cool your jets, Ice Queen," Yang responded, "You're good at the game, just leave it at that." The two then glared at each other, causing the fiery Ra Yellow's eyes to turn red.

Weiss sighed, "Look, I just want to be ready for the next challenge." She said before looking down, "Last time, I lost and let everyone down."

"No, you didn't let us down." Ruby responded with a smile, "We were all a team in the end, and we won. We saved the world."

"What?" Blair asked, causing Ruby to gasp at saying too much, "Saved the world?"

"Uh, it's a figure of speech?" Ruby said with an uneasy giggle, but Blair remained questioned in her gaze.

However, both turned to see Jaden standing up, "In that case, you can duel me?" Jaden offered Weiss, "Our last match ended in my favor, but your skills right now have me wanting a rematch."

"Really," Weiss said before grinning, "This time, I'll be the victor."

"We'll see," Jaden said with a matching grin. Ruby turned back to see Blair blushing with eyes of bewilderment, causing the hooded Slifer Red to sigh, "Alright Weiss, hope you're ready to get your gam-"

Suddenly, a new voice called out from the hallway behind Dr. Crowler, "Hold it!" Everyone turned to hear a footstep of someone approaching. Soon, they saw a short young man was seen with purple and lightish red hair, two long bangs point upward like insect antennas. He wore an elaborate purple uniform coat with a red cape, light blue pants, and black boots. With thick pink eyebrows angled down, he had a small smirk on his face, "I would like to duel her?"

"Who are you?" Weiss asked, examining his outfit, "That's not this school's uniform."

Dr, Crowler then picked himself up off the ground, "That is because it was the uniform at the school I taught at in Venice." He then turned around to face the new student, "This Yuri, the top student of that academy, who I was able to bring back with me to attend Duel Academy here."

"Yuri, eh," Yang said before grinning at Blake, "Hey, that almost sounds like the type of books you're read. You know, the ones with all the guys-"

"Yang!" Blake said as her face went red, "You said you would not say that out loud!" She said with the fiery Ra Yellow giggling.

"So, you were the top student at the school?" Weiss asked Yuri.

"Yes, as I never lost a duel." Yuri responded before having a slight grin, "Unlike you." He said with Weiss scowling, "So, how about we decided who is the strongest Obelisk Blue?"

"Are you sure you're were Obelisk Blue here?" Weiss retorted, "Purple is more of a reddish color."

"Oh, that's because I beat so many Slifer's at my old school," Yuri responded, a slightly cold gaze, "The countless reds stained my blue uniform, making it the purple you see today."

"And what about the hair?" Weiss countered.

"Well, I wanted everything to match." Yuri casually responded, "Now, shall we begin?"

"Fine." Weiss said before glancing at Jaden, "Just give me a second to beat this brat, okay?" She said with the spirited Slifer Red sitting back down, causing her to turn back to Yuri with a smirk. However, Yuri was now talking with Dr. Crowler, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Dr. Crowler, may I borrow your deck?" Yuri asked.

"Pardon!?" Dr. Crowler exclaimed, causing Yuri to bow.

"Your Ancient Gears did not get a proper showing," Yuri responded, looking back up with an innocent grin, "I want to show how legendary they truly are." Dr. Crowler did not say a word, looking back to Weiss with slight anger at his humiliation. He then ejected his deck and handed it to Yuri, "Thank you, I will do them justice."

"You expect to beat me the same deck I built mine to counter?" Weiss responded, "I hate to tell you this, but our duel will only end one way."

"I know," Yuri responded as he slotted the deck into his duel disk, "Because I am dueling, my victory is assured." He said before a horizontal blade of a purplish-black light formed the field of his duel disk. Ruby's eyes lit up as she saw it, but Blair to place her left arm on the hooded Slifer Red's shoulder, keeping her from running onto the arena again.

"Duel!" Both said at the same time, causing the battle for the strongest Obelisk Blue title to begin.

Weiss: 4000 Life Points

Yuri: 4000 Life Points

"You may go first," Yuri offered, causing Weiss to draw.

In examining her hand, Weiss smiled, "I play Gem-Knight Fusion, merging my Sapphire, Amber, and Iolite to make Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond." She said as the gleaming Gem-Knight appeared to battle, (3400 ATK / 2000 DEF). "That's just to start, I play Brilliant Fusion, sending my Gem-Knight Obsidian, Crystal, and Grant from my deck to the graveyard." She said as the vortex appeared behind her, "To summon Gem-Knight Master Diamond." She said as the pinnacle Gem-Knight emerged from the vortex, stabbing the ground with his greatsword, (2900 ATK / 2500 DEF). "Due to Brilliant fusion, his attack would become 0. However, I can add Gem-Knight Fusion back to my hand by removing a Gem-Knight monster form play." The heiress Obelisk Blue said before doing so. "Then I can discard that spell so Master Diamond can regain his stats and effect, one that increases his attack by 100 for each Gem-Knight in the graveyard. As of now, that makes him as strong as Lady Brilliant." She said as her monster glowed in a white aura, (2900 + 500 = 3400 ATK).

"Wow, she got out both her strongest monsters on the first turn." Yang said before smirking, "Not bad, Ice Queen."

She then looked at the single card in her hand, "I set this and end my tu-" Weiss said before doing so, but then looked over to see Yuri looking down at this hand, "Were you even paying attention!?"

"Huh? Oh, you finished your turn?" Yuri responded, "I was just reading these card effects, it can be so hard to see them sometimes."

"WHAT!?" Weiss shouted, "You don't even know how that deck plays?"

"I think I'll just wing it and see what happens," Yuri said before drawing. Upon seeing the card, he had a slightly sinister smile on his face, "As well, I think I'll win this turn." He said with Weiss gasping.

"What?" Alexis commented, "Is he seriously that confident in his abilities?" She said before seeing her brother with brown hair sit down next to her, "Oh, Atticus, you're back."

"Yeah, I got to tell you," Atticus said with a look of slight worry, "Something is off about that new kid."

"What do you mean?" Blake inquired.

"I mean, I have seen guys who smile like that during a duel." Atticus said with a serious expression, "So have you, Blake." The shadowy Obelisk Blue then looked back to the duel, focusing closely on Yuri's expression. Her eyes then widened as she felt a smile chill down her back, knowing that was the grin of someone who wanted to inflict pain on others.

Yuri then took two spell cards out of his hand, "First, I play Ancient Gear Fortress. Next, I use Ancient Gear Catapult. While I control no monster, I destroy one card on my field." He said before shrugging, "Well, looks like my Fortress must fall." The other spell card was destroyed.

"Why'd he do that?" Tyranno asked, "That seemed to only hurt him."

"Quite the opposite," Bastion pointed out, "When Ancient Gear Fortress is destroyed, he can special summon an Ancient Gear monster from his hand or graveyard." He said as Yuri summoned out Ancient Gear Gadget, (500 ATK / 2000 DEF). "Then, with Ancient Gear Catapult, he can special summon an Ancient Gear monster from his deck."

"I pick Ancient Gear Wyvern," Yuri said as a mechanical winged creature was summoned next to the gadget, (1700 ATK / 1200 DEF). "Now, this card allows me to add an Ancient Gear monster to my hand. But, which to choose?" He said before looking to Weiss, "Oh right, you researched this deck, so you should know the correct card for me to pick?"

"Seriously!?" Weiss exclaimed, "What is wrong with you?" She said with Yuri giggling, causing her to sigh, "You are not going to psych me out. I know you're going to pick Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon anyway. That's why you picked Gadget to Special Summon, so you could have Reactor Dragon gain its double attack effect."

"I see, good point." Yuri said with a nod, "I'll ignore it entirely and pick something else then." He said as Weiss gasped, "Here we go, I pick Ancient Gear Golem – Ultimate Pound." He said as the card was ejected, "Next, I tribute summon Ancient Gear Golem – Ultimate Pound." He said as the two lesser gears merged into a rainbow orb, one that exploded into the colossal rusty mech soldier, (3000 ATK / 3000 DEF). "Now, this machine also has a double attacking effect." Yuri said before taking another spell out of his hand, "So, I play Limiter Removal, doubling this card's attack for the turn!"

"If that thing can attack twice with 6000 attack points," Ruby pointed out, "Weiss will not have enough life points to survive."

"That's not gonna happen." Weiss countered, "I reveal my face down, Paradox Fusion. I can banish Gem-Knight Master Diamond to negate and destroy your spell." She said before the pinnacle Gem-Knight faded away, and Limiter Removal shattered, "Also, Master Diamond gets to return at my second end phase without being bound by my Brilliant Fusion."

"Hahahaha, you're a fool," Yuri laughed, holding his sides, "That was your facedown, and you waited until then to play it?"

"Of course," Weiss remained composes, "When you said you planned to beat me this turn, I knew Limiter Removal was in your hand. It's was an obvious tell and now your Ultimate Pound will be pounded next turn by my Lady Brilliant Diamond."

"Oh, you think I'm done with my turn," Yuri said as he showed two cards still in his hand, "I have a special surprise for you." He said before taking one of the spells, playing it, "I activate Ancient Gear Fusion!"

"An archetypally fusion card," Blake commented, then looking to see Weiss gritting her teeth, "I don't think she was expecting that."

"Wow, he played the card I was given during my vacation," Dr. Crowler said, standing at the edge of the arena, "I'm a little upset that it was not I who played it," The Headteacher of Obelisk Blue said before seeing a storm of gears appearing over the duel, "But, this is quite the view."

"Ancient Gear Fusion works just like Polymerization," Yuri said before his monster was carried into the storm, "However, by using my Ultimate Pound as material, I can use monsters from my deck as well." He said before two Ancient Gear Golem's eject from his deck. As the yellow bolts of lightning crackled, Yuri clasped his hands together and had a wide smile, "I fusion summon Ancient Gear Megaton Golem!" Yuri declared as the monster fell from the clouds, landing with a ground shaking. The new golem had the same torso with a stronger carbon-metal. However, this monster now had three sets of legs and six arms to attack with, (3300 ATK / 3300 DEF).

"Wait, he didn't go for the ultimate one." Blair commented, "Why? This one is weaker."

Yuri then looked at his hand, "You were right that I wanted to win with Limiter Removal. However, I needed to bait your face down out somehow." He said before playing a card, "I only need a small boost. So, I play Ancient Gear Tank, giving Megaton 600 more attack points." As the megaton monster radiated a black aura, its eyes glowing red, Yuri quickly licked his lips, (3300 + 600 = 3900 ATK) "And now, Ancient Gear Megaton Golem attacks! Multiple Mechanized Mashers." He declared at the gleaming Gem-Knight was blitzkrieg with a bragged of punches. Weiss shield herself from the damage, her body slightly blown back.

Weiss: 4000 – 500 = 3500 Life Points

"One more thing," Yuri said with a smile, closed eyes, and head tilt, "Ancient Gear Megaton Golem can attack up to the number of Ancient Gear Golems and Ultimate Pounds I used to fusion summon him." The sadistic Obelisk Blue said before opening his eyes, a look of joy as Weiss gasp of horror. She looked up to see Ancient Gear Megaton Golem unleashed a three-armed chop over her body, creating a massive dust cloud on impact.

Weiss: 3500 – 3900 = 0 Life Points

As the smoke cleared, Ruby saw her friend's body motionless on the ground, "Wait, what's going on?"

Blake looked closer to see the wounds on Weiss' body, "Is she talking real damage?"

Yang then saw Ancient Gear Megaton Golem lift its three right legs over the heiress Obelisk Blue's body, "Weiss look out!"

In hearing her name called, Weiss opened her eyes. However, she could only gasp at the mechanical boot was about to crush her body. Her heart raised as she thought this was the end of her life. However, the hologram faded before the impact. Weiss then pushed herself up, before seeing Yuri with his right hand on his chin, "Well, it looks like that makes me the strongest Obelisk Blue at this school." He said before ejecting the cards from his duel disk, "I was thinking of giving you a handicap of twice your starting life points. But it seems that didn't matter in the end." The sadistic Obelisk Blue said before handing the deck back to Dr. Crowler, "Thank you for the opportunity to showcase your wonderful cards."

"The pleasure was all mine, you used them beautifully." Dr. Crowler said before seeing the other students coming down towards Weiss, focusing on Jaden, "And your display has given me an idea." The Headteacher of Obelisk Blue said before walking away, a toothy grin on his face.

Yuri shrugged before walking away, however, someone called out to him, "Hey!" He heard Ruby's voice before turning around, "What was that?" She said as Yang and Blake helped Weiss up, "Why did she take real damage?"

"Oh, you mean solid hologram technology. It applies to my field as much as my monsters, making the action feel more…impactful." Yuri said as he brandished his duel disk, reshowing the energy blade "They were standard issued at my old Academy. I guess this place is still a generation or two behind me."

"Still, you could have warned her." Ruby responded with a glare, "You're not going make a lot of friends with that attitude." She said with Yuri scowling. He moved his hand as if he was about to start his turn, causing Ruby to pull out her duel disk.

However, Yuri stopped himself, "Hm, maybe another time." He said with his eyes closed turning off his duel disk, "I still have to unpack and settle in." As he half opened his eyes, the sadistic Obelisk Blue slightly smiled, "I'll see you around, Ruby Rose." Yuri said before turning around, not paying attention to the hooded Slifer Red gasping.

Jaden then walked over to see his friend, "What's going on?"

"That guy," Ruby said as she and Jaden watched Yuri walk away, "How did he know my name?"

AN: There you go, that marks the end of The Next Year part of this storyline. Dr. Crowler is back and up to no good. In this context, he doesn't have a lot of the developed he gained from the Shadow Rider saga. He takes an embarrassing loss to Weiss, but the new kid redeems his deck by wiping the floor with Weiss as well. That's right, the ARC-V character is Yuri. Like I said, I love my psychopaths, and nobody is more sadistic than this duelist. (Before it's asked, he will have his Predaplant and Starving Venom main deck here). I really like this character, even though he is one of the only characters in the show not to have an arc, Yuri is still fun to watch. Other characters I considered included Sora, who is another crazy kid to watch. The Tyler Sisters were also considered, because they are …. just perfection. So, I'll leave it up to the readers. Do you want more ARC-V characters to show up in the future, potentially in the pro-leagues or at the tournament? I am okay with more, but I will only use the ones that primarily used fusion monsters to fit with the GX era. A lot of mystery is around Yuri right now, but you will have to wait and see what happens next. That is all for now, thanks for reading, and hope to see you in the next chapter.

Now, time for the questions to answer. I got one that was how I would have written V3 of RWBY. And I did it, but that response would be about a third of this chapter's total length. So, rather than rant that much about what I would have done, I'll say this. The version of RWBY I wanted was what Attack on Titan gave me. For me, Attack on Titan is RWBY's story told the way I would write it if I was as skilled as Hajime Isayama. The first half Season One of AoT does everything that RWBY does in the first three volumes, but in a way that got me more invested in every aspect of the story, without falling off. In fact, AoT has delivered on a lot of great moment and is one of the best anime's I have seen. The final comparison, AoT killed off my favorite character, and I still follow it. Verse if Neo dies, RWBY is dead to me. I hope this makes it clear why I didn't like V3, when you compare its writing to AoT, which is what I hold as a standard for that type of story. (Small plug, I do have a one-shot of Yang and Blake verse Mikasa and Annie if you want to read it on this website). To also add on, when I mentioned the comparison of Weiss and Yang in the manga, I meant they looked the same in the pajamas panels, as Weiss lets down her hair then. If that gets adapted by the same studio as AoT, WIT Studio, I would immediately be jumping with joy.

Some rapid-fire ones. My favorite Grimm in the Nevermore, if only for that name being so cool. I do think that Blair will cosplay Maiden in Love, as that would be kind of cute to see play out here. Crowler was cut in the first half, along with Banner and Zane, so that Ruby Weiss, and, Yang could be the other key holders. When some people said he was on vacation, I rolled with it and made the story expand on that fact to what you have seen now. Graduation duel is one I will address when Zane shows up. My opinion on Dragma is they hate the extra deck and I think the art is okay. Like it was said, Blair moves in with Ruby, while Chazz has his own penthouse now. I use anime effect when the TCG messes up the cards with changes that make them unplayable, like Future Fusion, which Weiss bought her own copy off here. That was my best card in my Chaos Dragon decks, now it is garbage. I know also that Armed Dragon Catapult Cannon is more of a special than fusion summoning, but the cards are still purple, and saying Chazz did four fusion summoning moves in one turn was cooler. That about does it for now, I'll answer more in the next chapter.
