Stappelia LP: 1700

Penny LP: 1200

"Penny!"

As Penny's prone form lay slumped against the arena wall the Ignis surrounded her trying to get her back on her feet.

"Come on, Penny."

"Get up."

"Please get up."

"You're stronger than her Penny so I know you can get back up."

"Get up."

Ai, Windy, Aqua, Flame, and Earth pleaded with the android to get back up after she took the attack from Machu Mech. As the Ignis tried to wake up Penny Satppelia finished her turn.

"I think I let you suffer enough. I end my turn."

Turn 5

As the turn passed to Penny she still hadn't woken up to the concern of the Ignis then Stappelia spoke up.

"1 minute."

"What?"

Ai turned to her as did the rest of the Ignis.

"That's how long I'll give the android to get up. 1 minute. If she's not up by then she forfeits and her time is ticking."

Ai looked around desperately as Penny needed to wake up and fast. He then turned to Flame getting an idea.

"Flame. Come with me. We need to wake Penny up."

"Are you sure it'll work?."

"At this point, our chance is 50/50."

"Well, it's either this or let that snake woman win which I believe none of us are a fan of so Ai. Let's do it."

Both Ignis then became streams of purple and red data respectively then went inside Penny's head to try and get her back on her feet.

Stappelia clicked her tongue as she pulled out a black and gold pocket watch before she let out a *tsk*.

"Welp her times up. Guess I-"

"N-Not yet."

Stappelia looked up from her pocket watch and saw Penny slowly getting up.

"So you can stand?"

"I-I'm not backing down from this duel yet."

Flame and Ai left Penny as the android finally got to her feet but the damage on her was present. Penny's clothes were tattered revealing the metal underneath her head sparking as her green eyes were also flickering.

"Penny. You don't have to do this. You've taken too much damage."

Penny started speaking but her voice came out robotic like she was talking through a voice filter.

"I-It doesn't matter. You guys are my friends and I'm not going to let this Grimm take you guys."

Penny weakly grabbed the top card of her deck.

"I-I draw."

Penny got a look at her card albeit her right eye glowing on and off affecting her vision.

"I set a card face down and end my turn."

The rest of the Ignis looked at Penny in shock as that couldn't have been her entire turn but to their surprise the turns changed just like that.

"My turn."

Turn 6

"I draw."

Stappelia looked at the card she drew.

"Battle. Atlantis! End this now! Turn that Firebird back to dust!"

The massive titan raised its giant fist to smite Penny and erase the android and the rest of her life points.

"I-I…"

Penny attempted to activate her facedown quick play spell but the damage from Machu Mech and the fear from seeing the massive fist from Atlandis heading towards her to pulverize her caused everything within to just stop as the fist collided and Penny screamed.

(3000-1200=0)

Penny LP:0

"AHHH!"

Penny screamed as the fist collided with her and she fell off Babylon the last thing she saw was the Ignis all rushing towards her everything after that went black as she finally shut down. Babylon and A.I. Land both disappeared as Stappeila had the biggest smile on her face as she approached.

"Now for your Link Monster and maybe your soul if you have one."

Underneath Penny, a bunch of ancient writing appeared in a purple circle as it levitated Penny's body up.

"Ah. Arrival Cyberse. Finally, you're mine."

As Stappelia reached inside Penny the android screamed in pain as the hand completely bypassed her aura and touched her soul.

"Ahhh!"

"Oh stop screaming. In a few moments, I'll be done and you won't feel a thing."

"Not happening lady!"

To Stappeila's surprise Aqua, Earth, Windy and Flame appeared on Penny's abdomen.

"Ohoh this is rich. What are you four gonna do? Cute me to death?"

However, she looked around and noticed Ai was missing.

"Wait where's the purple one?"

"Behind you."

Before Stappelia could react her left arm which was still in Penny got grabbed making her turn and gasp in shock. Who had grabbed her was a tall young man with yellow eyes that had rectangular pupils, black shoulder length, spiky hair with yellow tips, along with purple bangs with pink highlights similar to Playmaker's. He wore a light purple formal shirt with a black cravat, vest, pants, and cape with golden stripes at the bottom and a red lining. He wore black boots with silver toes. He also had a pair of purple earrings with orange studs that resembled his old head and a blue diamond chip on his neck and back.

"What the?"

The man smirked as he started applying pressure grabbed her right arm and started twisting it.

"Ha! Do you think I feel pain? Also loving the human design little Ignis."

"Let's test your pain theory. Guys Hurry and help Penny!"

The other four Ignis nodded and started doing what they could as Ai kept trying to hold her in place however despite her right arm being restrained she managed to snap her fingers behind Ai several Sabyrs appeared and were going to bite down into him but they suddenly were shot making both Ai and Stappelia as several Atlas AKs appeared but to Ais surprise displaying on their heads was Lightning's symbol however his musings were interrupted.

"Ai! We got her!"

He turned seeing Windy jumping his expression happy as he saw Aqua, Earth, and Flame breathe out a sigh Aqua was wearing what looked like a digital blue priest outfit and the writings and circle disappeared.

"That's impossible! You Ignis shouldn't even know or be able to interact with magic!"

Ai laughed making the Grimm confused.

"When we traveled with Summer we made sure to absorb as much knowledge as we could and that included magic. Besides to us, magic is just another form of code and science we're still trying to crack."

"That's…That's."

Stappelia in her anger let out a loud Apathy screech making Ai release his grip as the other Ignis covered their ears but Pietro due to Stappelia's prison bubble being soundproof didn't hear it.

"You're lucky you saved that stupid container of scrap and bolts but next time I'll claim that link monster and personally delete all of you!"

With that, she vanished making the rest of the Ignis let out a breath of relief.

"So now what? Also, Ai how are you looking like that? After all, you told us that you could only look like that when you used a SOLtis Android as a host."

Ai rubbed the back of his head as the image of his human form disappeared with Ai reappearing in his Ignis form revealing behind him an Atlas AK.

"I hijacked and heavily modified one of these androids then used that to host my human form."

Aqua looked between him and the Atlas AK before she gave him a pat on the back and a thumbs up.

"Nice job Ai."

"Thanks but I also have to thank you Lightning. You saved my butt there."

The rest of the Ignis turned towards the group of Atlas AKs seeing Lighting's symbol as the yellow Ignis appeared before the rest of the Ignis and the currently weakened and damaged Penny.

Lighting looked over the rest of his siblings not saying a word before disappearing making Ai turn to the rest of his siblings.

"Any of you get a read on him?"

The rest of the Ignis shook their heads simultaneously.

While the rest of the Ignis did their best to help Penny Lighting was watching everything from a security camera.

'So that was a grimm huh? Are they the creatures who've been abducting duel monsters? In any case…Summer Rose.'

Lighting seethed at her name as he continued observing the scene between his siblings and Pietro as they were all stressing over Penny.

'Summer I don't owe you anything. The fact that you brought me back and I'm indebted to you makes me want to vomit. It's even worse that you've somehow convinced everyone else that you're this saint but it doesn't matter I can use you to figure out the real identity of these grimm kidnappers and then move my plans into action.'

Lighting then left the security camera done with his thoughts as he joined his siblings.

Schnee Manor

Sitting in a low-lit room with a glass of wine was Willow Schnee who smiled as she swirled the dark red liquid in her glass before taking a sip.

"Ah. It's remarkable how much better you taste with age."

*KNOCK. KNOCK*

Willow spun around in her chair towards the door.

"Enter."

Coming into the room was Whitely Schnee but he was different for one he wore a blue jacket that went to his legs and on his left arm was a dark blue, red, and gold duel disk with a deck in the slot.

"Hello, Mother."

"Whitely. Good to see you, darling."

Willow set her glass down before getting up and stretching then walking around to meet her son her shoes clacking against the floor.

"Likewise Mother."

Whitely walked forward before placing three cards down on her desk.

"Oh, you brought your mother presents. I'm proud of you my adorable little number hunter."

Willow picked up the cards and examined them as the cards were one XYZ, one fusion, and one synchro monster.

"Hmm, Number 78:Number Archive, Red Eyes Dark Dragoon, and Power Tool Dragon. I'm impressed Whitely these monsters are strong and out of your dueling league…"

Whitley flinched at his mother's insult of his dueling ability but he let her speak.

"...but I'm impressed you managed to beat the duelists who had them. Tell me did the monsters possess them?"

"No Mother from what I saw it seems like they came to them to try and hide but I snuffed them out."

Willow smiled as she tucked the cards away before walking to Whitely.

"As you should my son."

Willow scooped him up and hugged him into her chest.

"You've done so much that I've had time to accelerate my plans ahead of schedule."

Willow released her hug on Whitely as she went to a drawer and pulled out her own duel deck she shuffled through it before pulling out a card. The card in question had a green symbol on it surrounded by a circle with strange writing on it.

"Once I offer what the seal needs and it grants my desire all will be right again and we can be a whole family."

Willow put the card back in her deck before turning her back to Whitely.

"I trust you have what you need to convince Winter to join us?"

"Yes, Mother. Galaxy-Eyes and I won't fail you. However, I haven't found a need to truly bust out the Orichalcos yet."

"Understandable. Just know that like me it's there if you need it."

"Of course Mother. Anything else?"

"No, Whitely now clear the room."

"Why Mother?"

The door behind Whitely opened making him turn around only for him to step back in shock as he was face to face with a tall woman with pale skin, red eyes, and a black dress. Behind her were two men one with a scorpion tail and one with a fancy mustache and an equally nice jacket.

"Cause Mother has business to attend to."
