Author's Note


The White Fang has been getting a bit aggressive lately. I wonder why that is?


Enemy HQ

SLAM

The door was slammed open by a female, Bengal tiger-based Faunus with amber eyes, dark complexion and wild black, chin-length hair with an asymmetrical bob style. Her Faunus trait manifested as an extra pair of ears, and her body was adorned with numerous tattoos resembling tiger stripes. She wore four golden earrings on three of her ears, one each on her Human ears, and two on her left Faunus ear as well as a small jewel on her forehead.

"WHAT. HAVE. YOU. DONE." She yelled.

"Hm?" Shigaraki huffed before seeing who it was. "Oh, if it isn't the High Leader of the White Fang, Sienna Khan coming to greet us with her regal presence."

"I have received word that Adam Taurus and Ilia Amitola were somehow arrested. What did you order them to do?" The woman, Sienna, demanded.

"I didn't order them to do anything. I merely gave them a choice. A choice that led to their arrest. They can either stay where they are, or kill some nosy humans that would investigate where Nui was. Obviously, they chose the latter since they saw me and my forces as their benefactors like the smart would do."

"And look where that got them!"

"Come on, High Leader~ Even YOU know that there's no point in life without taking risks~" Nui stated.

"I WAS NOT SPEAKING TO YOU." Sienna snarled at Nui who puffs her cheeks. "You need to get them out. NOW."

"Oh, ye of little faith…" Shigaraki sighed. "They wouldn't get jailed so easily. At most, they'd get a mere 5,000 feet toward court before they actually manage to break out. Speaking of which…" He trailed before showing news to Sienna.

""Apprehended soldiers of the White Fang escaped mere moments after arrest. The two are dangerous and at large, but their captors remain unharmed…"" Sienna read.

"See? They're fine. A little banged up, but nothing they can't get over." Shigaraki said.

"That still doesn't change the fact that they were arrested in the first place. These two, whoever they are, were still strong enough to arrest them and YOU allowed them to!"

"I allowed only things that I wasn't aware of."

"Well, I suppose you'd best check on your awareness more."

The two glare at each other, Sienna fiercely glaring at him while Shigaraki lazily glares at her. "If you're so adamant about which of us should decide things for the White Fang, then how about a Duel?" Shigaraki offered.

"I would wipe the floor with you." Sienna boasted.

"Oh? You're a tiger Faunus, but you're barking as much as a dog."

"How dare you…"

"Well? You gonna try?" Shigaraki provoked.

"Hold on, Shigaraki." Terumi stopped. "She hasn't earned the right yet. She'll need to beat one of us first."

"You can't be serious…" Sienna glared.

"Why wouldn't we be? We all agreed to rid this world of the hypocrites that plague it." Ariel said, looking at a grape with the interest of a predator.

"Fine. Terumi. You're up." Shigaraki huffed. Terumi simply chuckles.

"I can't wait~ You're gonna be licking my shoes when I'm done with you, little kitten~" Terumi smirked.

"How vile… I'll gladly put you in your place!" Sienna declared as she pulled out a Duel Disk while Terumi did the same.

"DUEL!"

TERUMI LP: 4000

SIENNA LP: 4000

Cue: Reasoning Deathmatch (Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE)

"I will make the first move! I will activate the Spell card Polymerization! I will fuse Lunalight Blue Cat with Lunalight Purple Butterfly!"

Two cat-like beings, one blue and one purple with butterfly wings, appear and fuse together. "Fusion Summon! Appear! Lunalight Cat Dancer!" Sienna shouted as a young lady with cat-like features, dancer-based clothes, and crescent bladed weapons appeared.

ATK: 2400

"Ooh, 2400 Attack Points on turn one~! I'm pissing my pants~!" Terumi sarcastically "quivered" in "fear".

"Make your jokes all you want, human. I will place one card face down and end my turn." Sienna declared.

"My turn. Draw! First, I'll play the Field Spell Savage Colosseum!" Terumi began his turn as he summoned a colosseum around the two. "You'll see what this does soon enough. Now I'll summon Reptilianne Gorgon!"

Terumi summons a woman with snake-like features such as a snake's lower body and snakes in her hair.

LV: 3

ATK: 1400

"Now I'll equip her with the Spell Molting Escape! After that, I'll attack with Gorgon!" Terumi proclaimed as he showed a Spell card that features a reptile monster saving itself from an attack.

"Are you daft? You know damn well that what you're doing is suicide!" Sienna exclaimed. "What is the point of this!?"

"When Reptilianne Gorgon attacks an opposing monster, that monster's Attack Points become 0 and it cannot change its battle position. Also, the first time a monster equipped with Molting Escape would be destroyed in battle, it's not destroyed and it gains 300 Attack Points after damage calculation." Terumi explained his madness as Gorgon clashes with Cat Dancer, the resulting shockwave hitting Terumi who remained unaffected.

ATK DIFFERENCE: 2400 - 1400 = 1000

TERUMI LP: 4000 - 1000 = 3000

GORGON ATK: 1400 + 300 = 1700

CAT DANCER ATK: 2400 → 0

"Finally, Savage Colosseum's effect. If a monster attacks, that monster's controller gains 300 Life Points during the end of the Damage Step."

TERUMI LP: 3000 + 300 = 3300

"I still fail to see the method to your madness…" Sienna grunted as her Cat Dancer turned to stone. "You know that, as a Fusion User, I have the possibility of using her as Fusion Material, do you not?"

"Yeah, well, that's a problem I'll deal with later. For now, I'll activate these two Continuous Spells. First, Attack Pheromones!" Terumi exclaimed as he showed a Spell that featured a feminine snake monster charming a male warrior. "While this card's on the field, anytime a Reptile type monster I control attacks a Defense Position monster you control, that monster is switched to Attack Position. The second one is Field Barrier!" He growled as he showed a Spell that is literally a barrier protecting a Field Spell. "This card prevents either player from destroying Field Spells. It also prevents both players from activating a new Field Spell. Now, I'll place two cards face down and end my turn."

"My turn! Draw!" Sienna rips the top card of her deck. "...I will activate the Continuous Trap Lunalight Serenade Dance then activate a second Polymerization! By fusing the Cat Dancer on my field, and a second Blue Cat in my hand, I can Fusion Summon!"

The Cat Dancer statue was lifted off the ground while a second Blue Cat appears and fuses with it. "Fusion Summon! Appear! Lunalight Panther Dancer!"

Sienna summons a woman with dark brown skin, panther-like features and claws, and a dancer outfit.

ATK: 2800

"The effect of my Serenade Dance activates! Whenever I Fusion Summon, I can activate two of the following effects in sequence: First, a Lunalight Token is Special Summoned to your side of the field!"

A monochrome Blue Cat is summoned to Terumi's field.

ATK: 2000

"Next, the summoned monster gains 500 Attack Points for each card you currently control! You currently control 8 cards! That means Panther Dancer gains 4000 Attack Points!"

ATK GAIN: 500 X 8 = 4000

PANTHER DANCER ATK: 2800 + 4000 = 6800

"I will now activate her effect!"

"I don't think you will. I'm activating the trap Breakthrough Skill! This card negates your Panther Dancer's effect!"

An orange aura surrounds Panther Dancer, making her grunt. "Impressive. My Panther Dancer cannot be destroyed by your card effects, so you settled for negating her effects. Clever. However, you still lose! Panther Dancer will attack your Lunalight Token!"

"Nope. Scrap-Iron Scarecrow!"

The trap card in question appears and blocks Panther Dancer's attack.

"Tch. I end my turn."

"My turn. Draw!" Terumi hissed excitedly before seeing the card he just drew. He then chuckles and laughs. "Enjoy those Life Points while they last~ Because you just gave me the catalyst for your defeat! I'll sacrifice my Lunalight Token, thanks for that, by the way, and my Reptilianne Gorgon!"

The two monsters have dark auras surrounding them before they meow and hiss, respectively, in pain and soar into the air while a stone heart appears. "God that resuscitated our lives, come forth! Follow my order and present your vile soul! Bring endless despair! Advent! EARTHBOUND IMMORTAL CCARAYHUA!"

The heart explodes as a giant lizard of darkness appears with green markings and green eyes. It hisses as it joins the battle.

LV: 10

ATK: 2800

End Song and Cue: Endless Despair (Blazblue: Continuum Shift)

"An impressive monster. However, it pales in comparison to my Panther Dancer's Attack Points!" Sienna told Terumi who chuckles then laughs again. "What could possibly be so amusing to you!?"

"You think that Attack Points MATTER in this instance~! It doesn't. No matter how many monsters you bring forth, no matter how strong they are, you can't do anything against me anymore with Attack Points or Defense Points. Your deck focuses on defeating your opponent through battle damage. So does mine, but… here's where the similarities end: Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua! Attack the weak High Leader directly!"

"Attack ME directly? Haven't you learned a damn- …Wait."

"NOW you're catching on~ That's right~ Ccarayhua, like all Earthbound Immortals, can attack my opponent directly. Oh, and, before I forget, you can't attack this monster. And since it ONLY says that you can't attack this monster…"

"...I… can't attack at all if it's the only monster you control…" Sienna let out in realization. Terumi laughs even more.

"DING, DING, DING, THAT'S CORRECT~!" Terumi proclaimed as Ccarayhua slams its fist into Sienna, damaging her severely.

SIENNA LP: 4000 - 2800 = 1200

Sienna gets back up. "No… There… must be something… I can do with this deck…! Something! My turn! Draw! …Ah…"

"Ah, there it is~ That's the look~ The look of endless despair~ And that was just with a taste of the power of a Dark Signer!" Terumi declared before laughing madly.

"...I… I… surrender…" Sienna sighed in defeat as she put a hand over her deck.

SIENNA FORFEITS

WINNER: YUKI TERUMI

End Song

"Pft. At least let me get ONE MORE lick in…" Terumi grumbled.

"You've done enough, Terumi. This much is sufficient." Shigaraki said to him.

"Tch."

"And she sounded so convinced she would turn this around… Oh well~ I suppose that's what I should've expected from a weakling like her~" Ariel shrugged as she ate her grapes one at a time.

"At least you were smart enough to surrender, unlike the others who were just afraid to just say "I end my turn" much less "I surrender"~" Nui mocked in a deep voice.

"Do not think this means that I accept you leading me AND my brothers and sisters in arms." Sienna grunted.

"You and I have the same enemy, Sienna Khan. You don't have to. All you DO have to do… is work with me to rid this world of the humans you despise so much. The humans that oppressed you and your brothers and sisters in arms." Shigaraki stated.

"What makes you think I won't be prepared for you when the humans of Remnant are gone?" Sienna asked.

"No one can prepare for Earthbound Immortals."

"Speaking of which, what's with the size? I thought Ccarayhua would be bigger than what I summoned." Terumi pointed out.

"We need to be discrete about our Earthbound Immortals, Terumi. I thought you knew this." Shigaraki counter pointed.

"Tch. Whatever…"

"As for you Nomus… Go forth and bring chaos. Use your own Earthbound Immortals only when necessary." Shigaraki ordered the Nomus who silently carry that order out. Seeing their forms, Sienna could only stare at them out of terror and disgust.


Beacon Academy

"Chikazuite te o nobashita, ashita e to tsuzuku hikari… Ashimoto ni hirogaru… kono sekai no yume o mita!" Izuku suddenly sang to himself as he had earphones connected to his phone.

"What are you singing? Sounds nice."

Izuku squeaked from the sudden sentence from behind before he turned around and saw Blake. "Oh! Blake! You scared me there…"

"Just wanted a little payback."

"What'd I do?"

"Oh, not against you. Just Ryuko and Tanjiro. They snuck up on me this one time, so I thought I'd return the "favor"."

"Huh… Didn't know you had a mischievous side to you…"

"Eh. I developed it, I guess." Blake shrugged. "Anyway, about that song…"

"Oh! Right! It's from Kibou ou Hopu, or Aspiring Emperor Hope and the Onomatopoeia Gang Season 2!"

"I thought it was just called The Onomatopoeia Gang?"

"That's what they call it here, but it was made in my country first." Izuku explained. "Same with the older shows that involved the Duel Monsters we have."

"Hm. How about that."

"Yeah. And there's these two other shows that I've noticed that you only have on the internet as of now… and on very specific channels at very specific times…"

"Really?"

"Yeah. There's The Entermates or Performapals, and the Dimensional Dragons, as well as The Code Talkers."

"Entermates?"

"Entermate is the Cross name of Performapal. Red Daemon's Dragon is that for Red Dragon Archfiend too. Night Rose Knight for Twilight Rose Knight… There's a lot of changes between the languages we share."

"Share?"

"Uh… Well, the people of Remnant could learn a thing or two…" Izuku scratched his head before chuckling nervously.

"Hmm… You do have a nice singing voice, though." Blake pointed out as she left. Izuku blushed. He sighs as he goes under a tree's leaves and writes something down. He then reads in song.

"Iki o shite miiiteee… Tada no shiawase ni kizuitara mō nidotooo… oborenai yo…"


Lunchtime…

"...Dekiru has a what?" Ochako asked with a blush.

"I didn't expect it, but Weiss has a bit of competition." Yang gossiped.

"Pfft. Like his voice could match mine in terms of song." Weiss scoffed.

"I dunno, Weiss~ The way Blake hyped him up, I think even YOU'D be disappointed~"

"...What do you mean by that?"

Yang chuckles.

"Yang Xiao Long, are you saying what I THINK you're saying…?"

"Hey. You lost your first love to that other Atlas girl, might as well try someone else from another country~"

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME."

"What are you three talking about?" Ruby asked as she walked up to them.

"WE. Were talking about what kind of decks the other students of Cross Tag Duel Academy were running. ISN'T THAT RIGHT, YANG."

"Totally." Yang "agreed".

"YANG." Weiss growled.

"No, no, I'm serious~!"

"What's Uraraka here for, then?" Ruby raised another question.

"Well, we thought she'd clue us in." Yang stated. "Isn't that right, Weiss?"

"Uh… Yes. Right. Of course." Weiss cleared her throat.

"Well, as you know, Giorno uses Traptrix, Tanjiro uses Shiranui, Ichigo uses Vendread, Dekiru uses Elemental Heroes and Masked Heroes, Lucy uses Photon, Galaxy, and Cipher, Natsu uses Salamangreat, and Ryuko uses Blackwings." Ochako discussed.

"But we have yet to see Naruto's and Juvia's." Weiss said. "Can you tell us?"

"Juvia uses Gishiki, a Ritual based deck with Water attributed monsters while Naruto uses Gusto, a Synchro deck with Wind attributed monsters." Ochako answered.

"And the deck you use?" Yang brought up to her.

"Well… hmm… I think it's better if I showed you later~!" Ochako teased.

"Now I REALLY wanna know!" Ruby exclaimed.

"Fine. We'll find out when you duel." Weiss conceded.

'Whew… That was close…' Ochako sighed in relief in her thoughts as the three of the four girls that make RWBY leave. 'I thought we were gonna keep talking about Dekiru and that they were gonna find out that I have a crush on him. …No! Wait! No, I don't! Stop! Stop thinking that! And repreeess, this is healthyyy!'


Duel Class

Uraraka and Weiss were shown to be up for dueling. "Ms. Schnee and Ms. Uraraka. Are you both ready?" Glynda asked.

"Ready and willing!"

"I'm ready." Ochako and Weiss respectively replied.

"Then without further ado… begin."

"DUEL!"

OCHAKO LP: 4000

WEISS LP: 4000

Cue: Dark Magician Theme (Yu-Gi-Oh! -JAPANESE-)

"I'll make the first move! I'll start things off by activating the continuous Spell Dark Magical Circle!" Ochako began the duel as she showed a Spell with a circle that had ancient Egyptian inscriptions on it. "When activated, this card lets me look at the top three cards of my deck and if one of them is a Dark Magician, or a Spell or Trap that mentions it, I can reveal it and then add it to my hand! After that, I get to place the rest to the top of my deck in any order I want! One of the cards I got was Secrets of Dark Magic, which I'll place directly in my hand!"

"Dark Magician…!?" Weiss gasped. Glynda pushes her glasses up in interest while the crowd murmurs.

"That's right~! Now I'll summon Magician's Rod!"

Ochako summons a magical rod, but without a master to use its power.

LV: 3

ATK: 1600

"When I Normal Summon this monster, I get to add a Spell or Trap that mentions Dark Magician from my deck to my hand! I'll add Soul Servant! Finally, I'll place three cards face down and end my turn!"

"No way! She's got Dark Magician in her deck!? That's so cool~!" Ruby marveled.

"But will she get him out is the question." Blake pointed out.

"My turn. Draw! I'll activate the Spell card The Melody of Awakening Dragon!" Weiss started as she showed a Spell that had the image of a man in dragon-like armor playing a guitar. "By discarding a card, I get to add two Dragon type monsters with 3000 or more Attack Points and 2500 or less Defense Points from my deck to my hand. I'll discard The Phantom Knights of Fragile Armor to add Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon. I'll then reveal the former to Special Summon the latter!"

"Hold it right there! I'm activating the effect of Maxx C from my hand! By discarding it, I get to draw one card each time you Special Summon a monster!" Ochako declared as she did so.

Weiss summons the dragon with glowing marks that Satsuki summoned against Ruby. Ochako draws a card for that.

ATK: 3000

"Blue-Eyes! Use your Special Ability to destroy her Magician's Rod!" Weiss ordered.

"Not so fast, Weiss! I'm activating my face-down Quick-Play Spell, Secrets of Dark Magic!" Ochako responded as she revealed a Spell that showed the image of a portal and two golden rods. "This card lets me either Fusion Summon or Ritual Summon using monsters that at least include a Dark Magician on my field or in my hand! I just so happen to have one in my hand!"

"All right. Which one will you do?"

"Heh~ I'll go ahead… and Fusion Summon! Using the Magician's Rod on my field and the Dark Magician in my hand, I'll Fusion Summon!"

The rod and Dark Magician appear and soar into the sky and fuse into one. "Fusion Summon! Come forth! The Dark Magicians!"

Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl appear as one Spellcaster-type monster.

DEF: 2300

"And now that your Blue-Eyes's effect doesn't have a target, it's practically negated~" Ochako taunted.

"Tch." Weiss ticked.

"Now I'll activate the Quick-Play Spell Soul Servant! This allows me to place a card from my hand, deck, field, or graveyard that mentions Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl to the top of my deck EXCEPT Soul Servant. I'll place Illusion of Chaos to the top of my deck from my deck."

"Are you done?" Weiss asked impatiently.

End Song and Cue: Keycard Theme 15 (Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel)

"Not quite~ The Dark Magicians has an effect! But before that activates, my Magician's Rod's effect activates too! During my opponent's turn, if I activated a Spell or Trap, I get to tribute one monster I control and add Magician's Rod from my graveyard to my hand. I'll tribute The Dark Magician's to add my Magician's Rod to my hand!"

"Why would you do that?"

"The answer will come later~ Now The Dark Magicians activate their effect! Once per turn, if a Spell or Trap card is activated, except during the Damage Step, I can draw one card! If that card is a Spell or Trap, I can set it! And if it's a Quick-Play Spell or a Trap card, I can activate it the turn I set it!"

"I already know it's Illusion of Chaos." Weiss pointed out. 'The question is… is it a monster or a Spell or Trap?'

"Draw!" Ochako huffed as she ripped the card from the top of her deck. "I can't do anything with this while it's still your turn."

"Ah. So Illusion of Chaos is a monster card… That will be handy information later…" Weiss hummed. "Either way, I'll activate Monster Reborn to Special Summon The Phantom Knights of Fragile Armor from my graveyard!"

Weiss summons a set of armor that could crumble away at any second. Ochako draws another card.

DEF: 2000

"Next, since a Phantom Knights monster has been Special Summoned, I can Special Summon The Phantom Knights of Stained Greaves from my hand as a Level 4 monster."

Weiss continues the Special Summoning as she summons a set of white armor with blue flames around its arms. Ochako draws yet another card.

LV: 3 → 4

ATK: 1200

"Those two Phantom Knights are level 4 monsters…" Ochako pointed out.

"I know what you want to ask me: If you're going to Xyz Summon, what will you summon, right?" Weiss guessed. Ochako stayed silent. "Well, you're in for a surprise. I haven't Normal Summoned yet. And I'll go ahead and do that right now. I'll Normal Summon The White Stone of Legend!"

Weiss summons a white glowing egg.

LV: 1

ATK: 300

"A Tuner monster… Wait! Could she be!?" Izuku gasped.

"I'll now tune level 1 White Stone of Legend with level 4 Phantom Knights of Fragile Armor and level 4 Phantom Knights of Stained Greaves!"

The egg hatches into an emerald ring while the two Phantom Knights turn into eight motes of light in total before a green beam appears. "Synchro Summon! Freeze it all away! Level 9! Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier!"

Weiss summons a large three headed dragon with dark blue skin and white ice-like armor with ice wings on its back.

LV: 1 + 4 + 4 = 9

ATK: 2900

"I-I-I-I-It's so c-c-c-cold…!" Ochako shivered from the waves of cold that were swarming the field as she drew another card. Not even Glynda was having an easy time trying to resist the cold Trishula makes.

"Trishula's effect activates! When Trishula is Synchro Summoned, I can banish three cards you own. One from your field, one from your graveyard, and one from your hand chosen at random. I'll banish your Dark Magical Circle from your field, your Dark Magician from your graveyard, and one random card in your hand!"

"I'll chain Effect Veiler! By discarding this card from my hand, I get to negate your Trishula's effects this turn!"

"WHAT!?"

"I'll then activate my last set card: Eternal Soul and then activate one of its effects! Once per turn, I can activate one of its effects! And one of them allows me to Special Summon from my hand or graveyard… the one… the only… DARK MAGICIAN!"

Ochako summons the Dark Magician who appears and twirls his staff before striking a defensive pose.

DEF: 2100

"And now Dark Magical Circle's effect! When a Dark Magician is summoned to my side of the field, except during the Damage Step, I can banish one face-up card you control! I'll banish your Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier!"

"No!" Weiss gasps as Trishula is sucked into a void.

"Whew…" Ochako sighs in relief. "Your Alternative White Dragon can't attack when it uses its effect. What will you do now?"

"Ugh… I end my turn."

"My turn! Draw! I'll activate Eternal Soul's second effect! Once per turn, I can add one of two Spell cards that involve Dark Magician from my deck to my hand. I'll add Thousand Knives from my deck to my hand and then activate it!" Ochako declared as she showed a Spell that had the image of, well, a thousand knives. Those knives appear right by Dark Magician's side. "Since I control a Dark Magician, I can target one monster on your side of the field and destroy it! I'll destroy your Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon!"

The knives launch toward Weiss's dragon and stab themselves into it, making it explode. "It's been fun, Weiss, but I think it's time I ended it right now. By discarding one card from my hand, I can Special Summon Apprentice Illusion Magician!"

Ochako summons the young lady she used against Sho during her first Turbo Duel.

ATK: 2000

"And now I'll switch Dark Magician to Attack Position!"

ATK: 2500

"GGs~ Dark Magician and Apprentice Illusion Magician attack directly!"

The two magicians charge up then blast Weiss with dark beams of magical energy, making her growl in defeat.
