Chapter 12: Old Friends United! Defeat the Hunter!

"So, uh, Flare?" Gong asked as she continued to sort the trash down in the underground waste facility. It turned out that the place had dormitories for the Iosers to sleep, though the accommodations were nothing compared to the Duel Palace.

"Yeah?" Flare absent-mindedly responded, focusing on searching the trash for more forgotten cards.

"I was thinking about what you said yesterday, about sensing the potential in cards, and I remembered an old legend I heard as a kid," Gong explained to her, even though she wasn't listening. "Mm-hmm?"

"Can you talk to Duel Spirits?" Gong just came out with his theory.

Flare stiffened, suddenly paying very close attention. "No," she said very deliberately. "I can't talk to Duel Spirits,"

"Okay," Gong frowned. He knew that she was withholding some piece of information, but also doubted that she was lying. "It's not that big a deal if you can," he added.

"Gong. I currently cannot talk to Duel Spirits, okay? So just drop it," Flare huffed, and Gong nodded. "Okay then,"

They were interrupted by the noise of the elevator descending. "Oh look, more losers, let's go see them," Flare hurriedly cut the conversation short and dashed towards the elevator. Gong wordlessly followed, considering her answers.

The doors clanged open, revealing the three people who had lost that morning. "Well, what's this place supposed to be?" Sawatari demanded, striding out and looking around. "Sawatari!" Gong exclaimed, rushing forwards and grasping his friend in a big hug. "It is good to see you again, my friend!"

"Can't -" Sawatari spluttered, "-breathe-"

Flare looked away with a smile and checked out the other two people in the lift - and froze at the sight of the tall, black-clad man with green hair standing at the back. "Shun?" she asked in surprise.

Having completely slept through every Duel that didn't involve him as a participant and this missed the one between Flare and Yuya, the man was stunned to see his sister's friend standing before him, here of all places. "R - Ry -" he stammered in shock, but the girl hushed him. "I go by Flare these days," she corrected him.

Shun stared at her and agreed. She definitely wasn't the same girl who had been a regular playmate and opponent to her sister. There was a fire in her orange eyes that he had never seen all the times he had encountered her back in Heartland until now. "After that dragon of yours?" he asked. Unlike most of Ruri's friends, Flare had been a serious Duelist who had fully intended to go pro after graduating her school. Shun had Dueled her a couple of times, and her Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon had been a formidable foe. "Yep," Flare nodded.

"Shun! Good to see you!" Gong boomed. "Don't hug me," he immediately commanded. The martial artist looked at the two of them and understood. "I need to talk to Flare. Privately," Shun demanded, and Gong nodded frantically. "Sure, sure. Take all the time you need," He winked and walked away. "Come on, Sawatari, I'll show you how this place works,"

"But what about the pretty redhead?" Sawatari protested, and Gong shook his head. "She's taken, my friend,"

Flare watched them go, and blushed furiously at the last comment. "Do they seriously think that you're - that I'm - that we're -"

"Does it matter if they do?" Shun shrugged.

"Yes," Flare hotly retorted. "They're my friends. Sure I only met them yesterday, but I like them,"

"Friends?" Shun snorted. "You can't trust anyone in this world, except yourself,"

"Then why are you talking to me?" the redhead reasoned, and Shun paused. "I guess it's just nice to see a familiar face," he finally answered. Flare smirked and nodded.

"So, where have you been the last three months? I didn't see you at the Heartland Resistance," Shun asked.

"I went all over the continent, trying to find a place that Obelisk Force hadn't invaded," Flare explained, and Shun nodded. "Any luck?"

"Nothing," she sighed. "Those Ancient Gear Chaos Giants move fast,"

"They got everywhere?" Shun's eyes widened, and Flare gloomily nodded. "Some survivors regrouped, were doing well, a few little towns got off mostly unscathed," she tried to be optimistic, but her old friend just solemnly looked at her, and she sighed. "It's bad. Miami City, Florida, Chicago, it's all like Heartland,"

"They didn't just destroy our city. They destroyed our entire world," Shun growled, clenching his fists.

"It gets worse," Flare sighed. "Neo Domino was razed to the ground, and the Satellite's just gone. Completely gone. Like it never existed," she breathed, shivering in memory of the pure horror she had felt back then.

"T-they completely got rid of," Shun spluttered, unable to comprehend what he was hearing. "The entire island's just gone? That's," he trailed off in incomprehension. "Tell me you kicked their asses," he finally demanded.

"Every last bastard I ran into. I've heard that the top brass at Academia have put a bounty on me. A million dollars for my head on a stick," Flare mirthlessly laughed, and Shun joined in. "I heard a story from a couple of those guys we took prisoner. Something about the Black Flare. Was that you?" he asked with a smile.

She nodded. "That's what they started calling me. What about you? They put a bounty on your head?"

"Only five hundred grand," Shun replied, before looking around. "I'm surprised Security hasn't told us to get to work yet," he commented, observing the harsh treatment the other prisoners were receiving, and Flare smirked. "I might have sent one of their senior officers running away screaming like a little girl within an hour of getting here. They've avoided me like the plague ever since, can't imagine why," she shrugged with a mischievous grin.

The black duelist smiled in return. "So, what happened to you?" Flare asked, and Shun told her everything that had happened to him since leaving the Resistance in hopes of intercepting Academia soldiers in Standard. "You used the experimental portal too?" Shun nodded confirmation, and continued his tale.

"Why do you do this? It's not like the Security's gonna be able to force you," Shun questioned, watching Flare sort through the trash. "Because it pisses me off so damn much that these Tops bastards just throw away all these cards. It's intolerable," the redhead fumed, pocketing two more cards.

"How many cards have you collected by now?" Shun asked in surprise at the sheer number of cards she had found as he watched, many of which were damaged to the point of being non-playable. In response, Flare opened a singed backpack that she had also rescued from the trash and, looking inside, he saw that it was more than half full of old cards. "Why are you doing this? It can't just be because you don't want them to go to waste," he frowned.

"Simple," Flare responded. "This place is ridiculous, but actual Synchro Summoning itself is amazing. I," she paused, trying to decide how to phrase it. "I want to bring Synchro to Heartland, because something like that could make all the difference in restoring our home. And if I'm gonna do that," She pulled a card from her pocket, and offered it to Shun. "Every single one of these cards is gonna help with that. Every Tuner, every Synchro, every last one. Here, take it," After a moment's hesitation, he took the card and looked at it. "As soon as I saw this thing, I thought it would be perfect for you," Flare grinned at him.

"Vortex The Whirlwind," the Xyzian read the card, looking closely at it. It was a Level 5 Synchro Winged-Beast. Eventually, he nodded in grudging approval. "It could be useful, I'll give it that,"

"Hey, lighten up, give it a try," Flare grinned, producing the two Synchro monsters in her Extra Deck and showing them to him. "You learnt to Synchro Summon? No, wait. Of course you did," Shun sighed, and shrugged. "I'll consider it,"

"You'll need this," Flare promptly added, and gave him a second card. "Unknown Synchron?" Shun read. He sighed, seeing that he wasn't going to get out of this, and it seemed he had some free time, so why not?

"Oi, redhead!" a voice barked from across the room. Flare looked up, frowning in surprise, and saw a tall, muscular man in a black leather jacket with a pair of triangular sunglasses storming across the room towards her. "You're the girl what stole my spot in the Friendship Cup, ain'tcha?" he demanded.

The man had orange hair with a yellow stripe down the middle, and torn brown jeans with a necklace of teeth hanging out of his jacket. He stood directly in front of Flare and glared down at her. "Well?"

Flare suddenly remembered her meeting with Declan and the Council.

X

"She can Duel in the next battle. We'll simply have to disqualify the previous entrant. It won't be hard, we were debating whether or not to allow him to compete regardless," the head replied.

X

"Oooooooh, right," she winced.

"Damn right! You gonna regret taking my spot in that Cup!" the man barked. "Name's Hunter! Hunter Pace! And I'll Duel you into the ground, girlie,"

Megan looked over and grinned. "This sure looks like it'll be fun," Gong did likewise from nearby. "Maybe I should step in," he wondered, leaving his position and moving towards the approaching conflict.

"Alright then," Flare raised an eyebrow, arming her Duel Disk and Hunter did the same. "I've been hoping for an opportunity to test out my new Synchro monsters,"

"Nuh-uh," Hunter shook his head. "You ain't just Dueling me. You take my spot, I make the rules. Over here, boys!"

Another two thugs, one with purple hair and one with green hair, walked up and stood either side of him, arming their Duel Disks as well. "This is gonna be three on one,"

Shun stepped forwards. "Wrong," he glared, arming his own Duel Disk.

Gong took his place on the other side of the black Duelist. "I agree! The man Gongenzaka will also be your opponent!"

Hunter blinked. This was an unexpected development, but he couldn't back down now. "Fine then. Let's Duel,"

One of the thugs spoke. "Standard Tag Duel rules. No one attacks on their first turn and everyone draws,"

"Good," Flare agreed. "My turn," She looked over her hand. "I Normal Summon the Black Stone of Legend from my hand. I immediately activate its effect; by Tributing it I Special Summon Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon from my Deck! Behold, the true Flare that sets fire to the night!" A black crystal appeared, and immediately vanished, replaced by the blackened Gemini monster. 2400 ATK. "Turn end!"

"Then it's my move," Hunter snorted with a wicked grin. "I Normal Summon Jurrac Velo from my hand," A red-and-green raptor with its claws on fire appeared on the field. "I set a card and end my turn,"

"Now it's Gong's turn!" the martial artist declared, stomping his foot. "I Normal Summon Superheavy Samurai Kabuto from my hand!" A mechanical warrior armed with a metal mallet appeared, 1000 ATK. "Turn end!"

"Take it, Maizuru," Hunter commanded, gesturing to the one of his thugs with purple hair. "I Normal Summon Turbo Rocket," A small red monster that had a squat pod with a head on it for a body and two large rockets in place of arms appeared with 0 ATK. "I Set one card and end my turn," Maizuru made his move, and the turn order passed to Shay.

"My turn," the Duelist snorted, checking his hand. He was surprised to see the Unknown Synchron card Flare had given him in his hand, and, looking over the rest of his hand, shrugged. "I guess I should give it a try. While I control no monsters, I can Special Summon Unknown Synchron from my hand!" A small device that bore a resemblance to a piece of space debris with a red eye appeared on Shun's field. 0 ATK. "I now Normal Summon Raidraptor - Singing Lanius from my hand!" A metal bird that resembled a robin appeared. 100 ATK.

"I tune my Level 1 Unknown Synchron to my Level 4 Singing Lanius!" Shun commanded. Unknown Synchron transformed into a ring, which positioned itself around Singing Lanius, who changed into four stars. "Appear, shaman bird warrior, and join the flock! Synchro Summon, Level 5! Vortex the Whirlwind!" Shun placed his Synchro monster on his Duel Disk, being careful not to aggravate a small,tear in the side of the card, and a tall brown anthropomorphic bird dressed with metal parts and a mask appeared in front of him. 2100 ATK.

"Since when can Shun Synchro Summon?" Gong blinked in surprise.

"Turn end," Shun declared, and the green-haired thug grinned. "Esper's turn! Turn end!"

"He passed?" Gong blinked in surprise, but shrugged. "Alright, I guess,"

"Then it's my turn again," Flare grinned. "I don't know who the hell you are, Hunter, but you're gonna regret challenging me," she boisterously grinned. "Make me!" Hunter snorted.

"I Normal Summon Glow-Up Bulb from my hand," A flower attached to a clump of soil appeared, blinking its single eye. "I Tune my Level 1 Glow-Up Bulb to my Level 7 Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon," she declared, and the Tuner transformed into a single ring of energy, which Black Flare positioned itself in the middle of, leaping into the air and becoming seven stars in a line. "Display your strength, dragon of two forms! Unite into one body with Synchro Summon and prove your prominence! Arise, Level 8! Black Brutdrago!"

Flare's Synchro monster appeared, rearing up on two legs and roaring, revealing itself to be a muscular black dragon with a silver underbelly, thick, leathery, navy-blue wings and a solid 3000 ATK. It had four legs, but stood on its back legs like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. "Meet my new dragon!" she declared with a smile, and Brutdrago roared in agreement.

"Whoa. Someone actually found a way to use that trashy card?" Esper breathed in surprise. A vein pulsed in Flare's neck, and her nostrils flared in anger as the dragon inside her roared in response to this insult to its new comrade. "Battle Phase! Brutdrago, attack that Esper dude!" Her dragon roared in agreement and charged at the Duelist, and he grinned. "Nice try! I activate PSYFramegear Beta's effect in my hand! When you declare a direct attack, I summon Beta from my hand and PSYFrame Driver from my Deck!" he declared with a mad smile, and a barrier of energy blocked Black Brutdrago, which then became a pair of black gauntlets as a green-skinned warrior whose body crackled with green lightning appeared. "Now, your monster is destroyed and the Battle Phase is ended!" Esper added, and Flare frowned as an intense bolt of lightning destroyed her Synchro monster. "When Black Brutdrago is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon a Gemini from the grave with it's effects fully active! Return, Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!" Her dragon reappeared with a roar. "I set a card and end my turn," she fumed. "Now, Beta and Driver are banished," Esper nodded, and his monsters vanished.

"Then the turn's mine," Hunter grinned. "I normal Summon Jurrac Dino from my hand!" A chubby, angry raptor coloured red and orange appeared and growled, demonstrating its 1700 ATK. "I Tune my Level 3 Jurrac Dino to my Level 4 Jurrac Velo! Come forth, Jurrrac Giganoto!" A towering red and blue flaming dinosaur appeared with a thunderous roar and 2100 ATK. "Giganoto gains 200 ATK for every Jurrac in my Grave!" The dinosaur roared and its ATK became 2500.

"I activate Superheavy Samurai Kabuto's effect!" Gong shouted, clapping his hands. "When you Special Summon a monster, all my Superheavy Samurais are changed to Defence Position and gain 500 DEF!" Kabuto changed it's grip on its mallet and altered its stance, revealing 2000 DEF, which instantly became 2500.

"Doesn't matter! You gonna pay for taking my spot in the Cup, girlie! Giganoto, attack that useless little dragon!" Hunter commanded, and his dinosaur obeyed, charging towards Black Flare.

The dragon roared within Flare, spewing fire in anger, but she calmed herself and triggered her Trap. "No one calls me useless and gets away with it! I play Strike Slash! My monster's ATK is increased by 700 until the End Phase!" Shining blades appeared on Black Flare's wings with the Trap's effect, and his ATK became 3100, instantly destroying Giganoto. Hunter cursed and proceeded to his Main Phase 2, but Flare cut in. "I'm not done! After Red-Eyes battles while his Gemini is active, at the end of the Battle Phase all my opponents take damage equal to his original ATK! Go, Black Flare Burst!" Her dragon spewed a stream of flame, engulfing all three of her opponents. Maizuru and Esper's LP both dropped to 1600, and Hunter, who had already taken 600 damage from the battle, was cut down to 1000.

"Hey, save some for the rest of us," Gong smirked at his friend, and Shay nodded. "Her strength has definitely increased since I last saw her," he muttered to himself.

Hacking and coughing from the smoke, Hunter set a card and ended his turn.

"My move! Draw!" Gong declared, and instantly made his play. "While I have no Spell/Trap cards in my Graveyard, I can Special Summon Superheavy Samurai Trumpeter from my hand!" His Level 2 Tuner appeared with a flourish and 600 DEF. "I immediately Tribute Trumpeter and Kabuto for a Tribute Summon! Appear, Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei!"

His two monsters vanished, replaced by a massive warrior robot armed with a pikestaff and 3500 DEF. "Go, Big Benkei! Wipe out that Hunter guy!"

Hunter f, and made his response. "I activate Battle Fader! I summon my monster, and your monster's attack is negated and I end your Battle Phase!"

Gong philosophically shrugged as Battle Fader appeared, 0 DEF. "Turn end,"

"Looks like I'm up," Maizuru smiled to himself. "I Normal Summon Sonic Chick from my hand," A small pink bird with big red boots and 300 ATK appeared next to Turbo Rocket. "Now, I activate my Trap, Spirit Barrier. As long as I control a monster, I take no battle damage. Turbo Rocket, attack Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!" His monster charged in. "While Turbo Rocket is attacking, he can't be destroyed by battle and after damage calculation, you take damage equal to half of his attack target's ATK," he dispassionately explained. "All three of you,"

His monster ricocheted off Flare's dragon and bounced towards Gong, dealing him 1200 damage as the hologram shot through him, before bouncing off the wall and passing through Flare and Shun, doing the same and then returning to Maizuru's field. The three's Life Points each dropped to 2800.

"Now, I tune my Level 2 Turbo Rocket to my Level 1 Sonic Chick and Synchro Summon Turbo Cannon," Maizuru continued, and his two monsters vanished, replaced by a level 3 machine with two heavy cannons mounted on either side of a thin, pod-like body, and 0 DEF. "I activate the effect of Turbo Cannon, destroying one monster and dealing damage to my opponents equal to half of its ATK. I destroy Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!" Turbo Cannon fired and destroyed Black Flare, with shrapnel splintering and hitting the three, knocking their LP down to 1600 each, 1500 for Flare, who continued to fume as Maizuru ended his turn.

"My turn," Shun drew his card and blinked in surprise. It was that card again, Rank-Up-Magic Admiration of the Thousands. "That's not useful," he frowned. "I set two cards and Normal Summon Raidraptor - Tribute Lanius from my hand," A metal bird coloured navy blue with wide wings and 1800 ATK screeched.

"Tribute Lanius, attack Turbo Cannon!" he commanded, and his bird happily obeyed, dive-bombing and destroying its opponent. "Vortex the Whirlwind, knock Maizuru out of the Duel!" he continued, simultaneously eyeing Hunter's Battle Fader and face-down warily and remembering the stunt Esper had pulled to destroy Black Brutdrago, and deciding that Maizuru was the safer target.

His shaman Synchro charged and took his opponent out of the Duel, reducing his Life Points to zero. "He served his purpose," Hunter shrugged seconds later. Shun, Flare and Gong glared at him in response. "How can you be so callous with your friends?" Gong demanded. "Easy. They're not my friends. They're my servants," Hunter shrugged.

"And what gives you the right to decide that?" Flare continued. "I beat them, same as I'm gonna beat you," Hunter grinned.

"Knock some sense into him, Flare," Gong growled.

Hunter snorted in derision. "What, that little girl? Puh-lease, every card she's used has been absolute garbage. Black Brutdrago, that brings back memories, eh Esper? I still remember throwing that card away,"

"You were the one who put him in the trash?" she demanded, clenching her fists.

"Oh, that's nothing special. It's pretty rare that I actually find a card worth keeping, most of them just go right into that garbage dump," Hunter shrugged it off.

Gong looked at Flare and shivered. Her orange irises were flickering, like lit flames. The red blade of her Duel Disk pulsed with energy, and she felt the dragon inside her roar in anger at this impudent, pathetic, selfish human. "I draw!" she growled, and a streak of black fire trailed behind her card as she pulled it from her deck.

"The Unhappy Maiden," she remembered rescuing the card from the garbage and adding it to her Deck. The black fire, fuelled by her anger, surged around the card, engulfing it with her burning passion as her eyes flickered with flame.

"There's no such thing as a useless card!" she roared, as the card in her hand was transformed by her fiery energy. The Unhappy Maiden was no more, taking on its true form through Flare's power.

"Tell that to the trash in your Graveyard," Hunter snorted.

"Oh, that's it. I Normal Summon Grieving Maiden of Red-Eyes from my hand!" Flare declared, and a tall woman in a black dress with angry orange hair and a wooden staff, with glowing red eyes, appeared with a wicked smile and 1600 ATK. "When she's Summoned, I can add one 'Red-Eyes' monster from my Deck to my hand! I add Red-Eyes Parabola Dragon!" Flare declared, adding her Pendulum monster to her hand. "Using the Scale 3 Gemini General and the Scale 8 Red-Eyes Parabola Dragon, I set the Pendulum Scale!" Her two monsters appeared in glowing blue pillars of light, and Flare maniacally grinned at Hunter, who despite his almost empty field mirrored her expression. "I Pendulum Summon! Swing, pendulum, through darkness and light! Write my triumph across the sky!" A flaming wormhole appeared, and two dragons appeared. "Come forth, Red-Eyes Retro Dragon and Red-Eyes Wyvern!" Her two Level 4 dragons appeared, with 1600 and 1700 ATK. "I overlay my Level 4 Retro and Wyvern together! Ascend to divinity, lady with the heart of a dragon! Become one with the dragon spirit and become the divine queen! Arise, Queen Dragun Djinn!" Flare's favourite Rank 4 appeared, and she instantly activated it's effect. "By using one Overlay Unit, I revive a Dragon from my Grave with effects negated! Return, Black Brutdrago!" The Synchro monster retuned with a roar and 3000 ATK.

"Congratulations, you revived your garbage," Hunter sarcastically applauded. "Won't make any difference, though. I play Torrential Tribute! All monsters on the field are destroyed!" A massive tidal wave swept over the field, destroying Flare's dragons and Battle Fader, as well as Big Benkei, Vortex and Tribute Lanius.

"When Vortex is destroyed, I can Summon a Level 4 Winged-Beast from my Deck! Come, Vanishing Lanius!" Shun declared, and Flare echoed him. "And when Black Brutdrago is sent to the Grave, I Summon a Gemini from my Graveyard with it's effects fully active!" she agreed. "Behold, the true flare that sets fire to the night! Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!"

"When Vanishing Lanius is Summoned to the field, I can Summon a Level 4 Raidraptor from my hand!" Shun added. "Appear, Necro Vulture!"

His purple and black bird appeared from his hand, matching Vanishing Lanius.

Hunter paled in shock at the sight of Black Flare, ignoring Shun's Raidraptors. "But - but that dragon's effects were negated!"

"It's effects were negated on the field," Flare corrected him. "In the Graveyard, anything goes. And the revival effect happens in the Graveyard. Whose cards are garbage now?" she demanded with a savage grin. "Black Flare! Knock 'em dead!"

Her dragon obeyed with a thunderous roar, charging forwards and attacking. "Esper! Use one of those psycho robot things!" Hunter commanded, and his teammate looked at his hand, paused, and glared at the man in contempt. He very deliberately shook his head as the dragon's attack hit, reducing Hunter's LP to zero.

"I surrender," he very deliberately said to the three opponents stacked against him. Their Duel Disks powered down and Flare, glaring at the man who had started this whole thing, shook her head in contempt. "I's say that I hope you've learnt something, but someone like you never will," With that, she turned and went back to sorting through the trash for forgotten cards.

"It's not over!" Hunter demanded, picking himself up and brandishing his Duel Disk. "Duel me again! I'll win this time!"

Shun, his face stormy with anger, walked over and punched Hunter in the face.

With a crack, his plastic sunglasses broke and fell to the ground in two pieces, as a loud crunch signified his pointed nose shattering with it. "In a war, you don't get a second chance. Take your loss like a man," he spat, before reaching down and unfastening Hunter's Duel Disk. He carried the device over to Flare, who looked at it in surprise as he extracted every single card from it and offered them to her, before throwing the offending machine back at its owner. "Heartland City's gonna need everything it can get," he agreed.

Flare accepted the cards and placed them all in her backpack. "Nice one," she quietly nodded. "He doesn't deserve to call himself a Duelist anyway," Shun shrugged.

A/N

A/N

I know Hunter Pace doesn't have a Jurrac Deck in the anime, but . . . you try writing a Duel in which he uses that Skull Flame and Burning Skull Head stuff against Shun, Gong and Flare and DOESN'T get curb stomped in two turns. Then again, not that he did much better here . . . oh well. He's a jerk anyway.

I looked around the USA on Google Earth, trying to figure out the most likely places that Heartland and Neo Domino would be (assuming they're both in the USA) and just assumed Miami City is in Miami, and I think Heartland is somewhere in Alabama and Neo Domino is in a place on the East Coast of the US called Pamlico Sound. There's even a little island in Pamlico called Buxton to represent the Satellite. XD

Also, in case this wasn't clear, there are other dimensional versions of Miami and Neo Domino (and by extension the Satellite) in all four Dimensions. A version of Zero Reverse where the generator just exploded, creating a megaearthquake that resulted in the satellite being torn away from Neo Domino and jettisoned out to sea without any sabotage or Dark Signers happened in Standard, Fusion and Xyz, resulting in the creation of the Satellite about three hundred years ago.

I also regard it as canon that a slightly different version of the events of GX happened in the Fusion Dimension, altered versions of the events of 5D's happened in Synchro and the events of Zexal happened in Xyz, and Classic happened a long time ago in Standard . . . it's a little confusing to try to sort out, though, since Zexal can't have happened in Standard, because there's no Heartland in Standard, and the events of GX are partially reliant on the events of Classic, so . . . if anyone has ideas or wants to help out, I'm open!

Anyway;

Grieving Witch of Red-Eyes

Level 1/DARK/Spellcaster/ATK:1600/DEF:900/Effect/Tuner
