Disclaimer: I, OWN, NOTHING!

As always, I hope it meets your fancy.

...

"Winter, what is she doing here?" Weiss asked.

"Where am I?" Winter asked.

"Don't worry, Winter, you're in perfectly fine and unharming hands." Kai assured her.

"What are you talking about?" Winter asked, only with a more stern expression on her face this time.

"Winter." Ironwood caught the Schnee families eldest sister's attention.

Winter gasped slightly and saluted. "General Ironwood, sir, pardon my anger, but what is going on?" Winter asked.

"It's... a long story." Ironwood answered.

"One that shall be going on for who knows how long." Kai chimed in. "But for now permit me to catch you up to speed." He offered.

(One explanation later...)

"And that's why you're here." Kai finished a basic rundown of the reason as to why she was here.

Winter was bewildered to say the least. "I'm here to watch people... play a card game?" She repeated.

"Yep, but don't worry, you'll find it worth your while, and it will surprise you in many ways." Kai said to her.

Winter was skeptical of this. "Winter." Weiss's voice caught her attention. "I was skeptical too, but I think it might just be worth your time." Weiss told her.

Winter's eyes widened, if her own sister was thinking positively about this, then it must be worth it.

"Alright, if Weiss is okay with this... viewing, as you called them, I'll see what it's about." Winter said before narrowing her eyes a little. "Just be sure not to do anything rash in here." She told Kai.

"No need to reign me in, that's what my retainers are for, NOW LET'S GET THIS NEXT CHAPTER STARTED!" Kai declared snapping his fingers as the screen lit up.

A lot has happen ever since yesterday. Anna and Zack met a strange girl named Ruby Rose, who says she is from a place called Remnant and that the evil from her world is coming to their world. It was a lot for Anna and Zack to take in, which was understandable. Ruby didn't know a lot about the backstory or traits about Remnant, so she told as much as knew. She talked about how there were the four kingdom of Remnant of Vale, Atlas, Mistral, and Vacuo. She explained that her world was infested with Creatures known as Grimm, and have been a threat to humanity ever since the beginning of time. This was where Huntsmen came in; they were the defenders of Remnant and fight Grimm with their weapons. Academies were then established to train the younger generation into the new defenders of Remnant. Ruby attended Beacon Academy, where she was made leader of team RWBY, with her friends Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and her sister Yang Xiao Long.

"And that's not confusing at all." Zack said sarcastically.

"Just be quiet and listen." Ruby said, as she ate a cookie.

"It's is admittedly kinda confusing to first timers, you know." Nora commented.

"I think it's a wonderful name." Pyrrha said.

"Thank you, Pyrrha." Ruby thanked her.

During her first year, she made many friends, including the members of team JNPR, and Team CFVY She also made friends with a girl named Penny. She has made multiple enemies, which included Roman Torchwick and members of the white fang. One day, while she was on a mission with Professor Oobleck on Mount. Glenn, her team discovered a conspiracy, where the White Fang was trying lead Grimm into the city. Her team and with the help from her friends were able to hold back the invasion. After that event, things went back to normal with Roman behind bars. Other things that she mention were the power source of dust, aura, semblances, and especially the Faunus, people who were half animal and half human.

"So that's it from me. So what do you think about Remnant?" Ruby asked as she took a breather from talking so much.

"Looks like she finished giving the two of them of them the basic rundown." Ren noted.

"Yeah, with some of her experience thrown in for good measure." Cinder said.

"Remnant sounds, like a nice place to visit. Well besides the Grimm, I say it sounds interesting." Zack said as he was awed about amazing Remnant sounds.

"Sounds like the Grimm are a bit of a turn off for people in other dimensions." Yang semi-joked.

"Well, that's kinda understandable, the Grimm do have a tendency to destroy whatever they see that isn't a Grimm." Jaune commented.

"I have to agree. It does sound highly interesting, with using this Dust energy source, and semblances sound like a monster's personal effect. Aura even sounds cool, of using your soul to protect yourself." Anna said, getting more interested in Remnant.

"Anyway, I have to go down and get breakfast ready and teach Victoria how make pancakes. It's strange that she is so smart, but somehow creates something entirely different with just eggs and bacon." Anna said as she left the room, leaving Zack and Anna alone.

"With those to left alone in the same room, I don't know what could happen." Weiss gulped, somewhat nervous.

"That Zack character has shown to be somewhat of a loose cannon." Ironwood said.

"He is in later chapters, now though, he's kinda tamed... by comparison." Kai stated.

"That's admittedly doesn't give me much assurance." Winter admitted, despite only being here for about five minutes at most.

"So Zack. Are you a duelist too?" Ruby asked.

"Of course. I'm not good as Anna, but I do manage to pull out a win with my Elemental Hero deck from time to time. Anna has helped me construct it, but it does have my own unique…" Zack said, unable to finish his sentence, as he was then found face to face with Ruby whose eyes were filled with excitement.

"Here we go." WBY said knowing what was going to happen.

"YOU HAVE A DECK OF SUPERHEROS!?" Ruby shouted as her eyes were wide, and she had a huge smile on her face.

"Uhh, yeah. It's the Elemental Hero deck. A deck comprised of superheroes, and it's my favorite deck." Zack said nervously, seeing that Ruby was becoming even more excited.

"LET ME SEE! LET ME SEE! PLEASE LET ME SEE IT!" Ruby said shaking Zack by the collar.

"Is she..." Winter was cut by Oscar.

"Always, like this?" The farm boy asked.

"You literally have no idea." Weiss answered.

"OH COME ON!" Ruby yelled. "I'm, as in this me, am not that..." Ruby slowly stopped talking as she noted all of the looks she was getting from WBY, JNPR, Glynda, Qrow, and even Ozpin. Ruby simply pouted under all the staring eyes and sat back down in her seat.

"I can't show you it right now. It's still incomplete, and I haven fine-tuned it yet. But I can show you some of my cards." Zack said.

After Ruby let Zack go, he took out five of his cards and laid them out on the ground for Ruby to see. Ruby's eyes twinkled as she was awed by the hero's looks and designs.

The first card was Elemental Hero Avian. A winged hero who was wearing a green suit, while having green feathers on his arm and legs, with a red claw on his left arm. He wore a feather like helmet with a red eye mask. Ruby imagine Avian swooping through the air, attacking Grimm from below.

"A flying superhero?" Mercury noted.

"AWESOME!" Nora exclaimed.

The second card was Elemental Hero Burstinatrix. A female superhero, who wore a red suit, which cover her entire body, had blue skin, and really long black hair that was white at the hand. Her head was covered by a yellow triangular crown. She also to be a fire based hero, since she had two fire orbs in her hand. This hero made Ruby remind her of a certain blond. She even imagined said blond as Burstinatrix.

"Oh, I have a new favorite now." Yang commented picturing herself fighting alongside the duel monster in question.

The third card was Elemental Hero Clayman. Based from his name, his entire body was made out of clay. Most of his body was bulky as it was gray in most areas and light grey on the far end parts. He also wore a red helmet with blue eye slits. Ruby was awed of how sturdy Clayman looked, and admire his passion to protect his fellow allies. She imagined Clayman defending innocents from an Ursa's attack.

"So it's a hero that specializes in defense rather that offense." Blake noted.

"And he wears clay as if it were armor." Ironwood added. "Interesting choice."

The fourth card was Elemental Hero Sparkman. Sparkman wore a blue suit, with golden armor on his chest and arms. He was also studded with orange orbs that seem to be in the armor. He also had two blade like items attached to his back. What Ruby liked about this hero is that he was using electricity as his main attack source. She then imagined Sparkman fighting a nevermore on a pillar, shooting lightning bolts out of his hands.

Nora went wide-eyed at the sight. "Yes, yes, YES! Now that's a superhero!" She exclaimed, pointing at the screen.

The rest of her team sighed while smiling, knowing how enthusiastic about lightning the pink hammer-wielding dynamo was.

The fifth card was Elemental Hero Bubbleman. He wore a blue suit, along with chest armor, which seemed to house his core. He wore a helmet that had to horns on his head and two eye slits. His main weapon was his bubble shooter that was attached to two canister attached to his back. Ruby thought it was funny and cool that there was a hero who used bubbles to fight evil. She imagine Roman Torchwick, just being defeated by being washed over a wave of bubbles.

Everyone was weirded out by the fact that there was a superhero that fought using bubbles, but Winter of all people spoke up. "Well... if it can get the job done." She said simply.

Everyone sweat dropped at the words of wisdom she just said, but went along with it nonetheless.

"So, what do you think?" Zack asked Ruby.

"I THINK THAT THEY ARE AMAZING! LOOK AT THERE POWERS! I wish I could meet them." Ruby said, as she imagine meeting the heroes in person and fighting alongside them.

(Ruby's mind)

It was a dark night, with the moon high in the sky shining brightly in the sky. However, evil was afoot. Roman Torchwick and his gang were at the ports of Vale, and plan to steal the dust that just have recently been delivered from the Schnee Dust Company. Roman's henchmen broke down the door of a warehouse and then begun ransacking the place. Just then, one of the henchmen was thrown back. Everyone turned towards where the henchmen was originally from. Suddenly, a furry of rose petals moved around the room, taking out each of the goons, one by one. It was none other than Ruby Rose (being normal size) who was just passing through. She then stood face to face with Roman. Roman however, was prepared. He then took out his scroll and entered in a command. Ruby wasn't worried about it. Until a two large bullheads came with more henchmen, only this time, they look like they were combat trained, as their fighting stance was more of a warrior's stance. Ruby was getting worried, she couldn't fight them all on her own. Then out of nowhere, a lightning bolt struck a portion of the henchmen. Everyone turned their heads where it came from. Then, standing on the building of another warehouse, were five silhouettes. They were the main Elemental Heroes

"Oh great, now what?" Roman asked.

"Your days of crime are over villain!" Sparkman yelled pointing his finger at Roman.

"Striking villainy from above, the sky is mine to command! Elemental Hero, Avian!" Avian declared.

"Those who threaten the balance of peace will burn before me! Elemental Hero, Burstinatrix!" Burstinatrix declared.

"I am the shield of those of wield the sword! Elemental Hero, Clayman! Clayman declared.

"All evil shall feel the shock of justice at my hand! Elemental Hero, Sparkman!" Sparkman declared.

"All of your sins shall be washed away with a bubble bath! Elemental Hero, Bubbleman!" Bubbleman declared.

"Justice shall be served, and evil shall know no mercy! We are, the Elemental Heroes!" All of the Heroes shouted.

"How cheesy." Cinder thought.

"Oh boy, we get to see them in action." Yang said with a giddiness present in her voice.

"Ruby-thought-up action, Yang." Blake clarified.

"Action nonetheless." Jaune told them as he focused on the screen.

Before the Roman and his goons could respond. Avian swoop down, and used his signature attack, Featherbreak, sending a barrage of feathers down, knocking out at least 50 goons. Ruby was also attacking, swinging her scythe one direction to another. Then, one goon manage to sneak behind, and then made an attempt to cut down the hooded huntress. Clayman however, came in at just the nick of time, allowing Ruby to counter attack.

"You fire, and I shield!" Clayman said to Ruby, as armed gun goons began firing on him.

Ruby nodded, as she and Clayman began running towards the gun goons, with Ruby shooting behind Clayman, who shielded her from the barrage of bullets. Meaning while, Burstinatrix was very mad, since she was going to have a night to herself, until Roman trigger the "hero signal". The male Heroes almost felt sorry for anyone who had to feel her wrath. She then made a huge fire ball in her hand, and send it flying towards an unlucky group of goons, who were engulf in the Burst Impact.

"I'm not doing this. This isn't worth the Lien." A goon said as he walked away from the carnage.

Sparkman and Bubbleman were in the middle of fighting Roman Torchwick. Roman used his cane to parry an incoming jab from Sparkman, but Sparkman grabbed his cane, which was metal, and sent a current of electricity through it electrocuting him. As Roman backed up in pain, Bubbleman sprayed Roman with a barrage of bubbles as he was trapped in a mixture of sticky bubbles. Roman was finally defeated as the Ruby stood beside the heroes as the sun rose behind them.

"Huh, not bad for someone's imagination." Winter noted.

"She certainly is creative." Ironwood commented.

(Real World)

Zack was staring at Ruby, who appeared to be daydreaming as she was looking in the sky with a big grin on her face.

"Are there Ruby? Hello? Anybody home?" Zack said, as he waved his hands in front of Ruby, who was still unresponsive as she was still having her superhero fantasy.

"Talk about stuck in dreamland." Mercury commented while chuckling.

(Meanwhile Downstairs)

Anna just left her room as she headed downstairs, to find Victoria working on some device. Curious, Anna approach Victoria to see what it was.

"What are you working on Sis?" Anna asked.

"Oh, Anna. I overheard your conversation with Ruby, so I'm working on something that might help you." Victoria said as she was still working on the contraption.

"What is it? Anna asked.

When Anna looked at it, the device looked like a P.K.E. meter from ghostbusters, only that it had a slot that looks as though you can put a card in it. Unknown to Anna, Zack was seen walking down the stairs and entering the kitchen.

"What the heck is Ghostbusters?" Qrow asked.

"I, for one, don't know, and I don't care." Kai asked. "Besides it has no bearing on the main story anyways." Kai said before focusing on the screen.

"It's an Aura tracker. You see, Ruby said that in her world, every living thing is surround by this aura, which is their soul. Considering that Ruby's friend came here, they must have an aura as well. This would have been impossible to track, but since Ruby is a duel spirit, so by logic, her friends should be duel spirits as well. This machine is programmed to find any duel spirits that are infused with aura, meaning it should find her friends easily." Victoria explained as she tweaked the machine for adjustments.

"Wow, that's some pretty sound logic for what looks like a toy." Qrow commented.

"It does sound like basic thinking put in the way she said it." Weiss added.

Anna looked in awe as she saw her sister putting together a complex machine in just a few minutes. Zack was then seen walking back upstairs with a whole bunch of ingredients. Victoria finally finished the machine and then gave it Anna.

"Huh?" Most of the audience wondered what the boy was doing.

"Why did he?" Oscar asked.

"Give it a minute." Kai said.

"There you go, and all you have to do is insert RWBY-Soul: Ruby Rose into that little slot right there, and you will find the rest of her team in no time." Victoria said giving the device to Anna.

"Thanks! I'm really lucky to have a big sister who is willing to help me out." Anna said as she hugged her sister.

Ruby and Yang simply smiled at the words while the words rung in Winter's ears for a few seconds. "Has Weiss ever said those words to me before?" Winter thought as she looked over to Beacon's resident ice queen.

"Yeah. And I'm glad I have a sister who can teach me how to cook." Victoria said with an embarrassed smile.

"Considering she made a sentient meatloaf monster in the last chapter, Anna must be a godsend practically." Jaune said, making some of the people in the room nod in agreement.

After their sisterly moment, Anna then taught Victoria how to make pancakes, through simple procedures. After going through it multiple times, and telling her what not to do, Anna returned to her room to tell Ruby and Zack the good news.

"Hey guys! You are going…to…like…" Anna said as she was unable to complete her sentence when she saw what was happening.

Zack was wearing a doctor's gas mask, and had a small bowl, and was mixing a yellow substance in the bowl. There were onion, and garlic peels on the floor, a watering cup, and an Italian cheese wrapper on the floor. Anna then notice Ruby staring out into space, with a grin on her face as if she were a child in a candy store.

Everyone's eyes went blank with black circles around them when they saw the bowl's contents. "Oh no." Yang grimaced.

"This is going to suck for her." Mercury said.

"I'm glad I'm not the one standing there right now." Ruby said.

"You said it." Qrow said feeling sorry for the alternate version of his niece.

"Two questions Zack. One: why does Ruby look like she's in a trance? And two: what in the world are you making?" Anna asked, worried of what Zack was making.

"Well, to make a long story short, I showed my hero deck to a hero fan. She has been like that ever since thirty minutes ago. So I'm making a stink serum that will knock her back to reality." Zack said as he was almost making the mixture.

"Are you sure this will snap Ruby back to reality? Anna said, concerned about Ruby's smell sensors.

"Relax, I'm sure it will work." Zack said as he added durian shells to the mix.

"She should really snap out of it right now." Winter said, admittedly feeling a bit sorry for the alternate version of Ruby.

"I'm sure it might work, but I'm worried about something else." Anna said as Zack pours the mixture into several test tubes.

Zack had finally finished the mixture, labeling the test tubes as stink hazard. Anna couldn't do anything as she doesn't know any other way to get Ruby back, and she couldn't just hurt Zack. He was her best friend. Zack then put the tube near Ruby's face, who was still in her fantasy world, as he unscrewed the cap. Nothing happen for a while. Ruby's face then had an expression of shock and disgust, as she sniff the air a couple of times. Her face then turned green as she dashed out of the room and into bathroom, losing last night's dinner.

"Ouch." Most of the people thought collectively.

"What was in that mixture?" Anna asked Zack, feeling bad for Ruby.

"Just some onions, garlic, stinky cheese, durian parts, and a mashed up egg shell. Told you it would work." Zack said with a grin.

Ruby was a bit ticked off at having to see herself smell something that horrible. "Again, glad I'm not the one standing there right now."

"I better go check on her." Anna said walking to bathroom.

(At an unknown area)

The scene then shifts to a room that appears to be underground. There were wires however on the walls, ceiling, and roof of the room. Dark figures occupy the room, these were Grimm. There was one difference, they were all humanoid. The Grimm also wore armor covering their bodies, that was bone like and they all had red glowing eyes. In one area, there was beowolf running across the run, to the other side entering it. When he entered the room, he got one knee and bowed.

"Huh?" Ozpin wondered what was going on.

"Is that really a Beowulf?" Weiss asked.

"But who's it bowing to?" Glynda asked, thinking that it might be you know who.

"Hmm." Cinder was concentrating on the screen in intrigue.

"My liege. Grim Wolf has been confirmed to be defeated in a duel." The beowolf said with slight hints of fear.

In front of him was a strange figure wearing black armor with white plating. He was wearing a red cape, and his face was concealed with a helmet with a V like visor, two triangle parts on both sides, and had two lines running down the part of the helmet that covered its face.

Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald silently gasped. "That's not Salem." They thought all together as Emerald and Mercury looked at Cinder, who had a look of shock on her face.

"But... how?" Ozpin, Qrow, Ironwood, and Glynda were shocked to see, what could qualify as, the leader of the Grimm, they knew who the real one was, so who was this guy?

"Disappointing. It should have been simple. All he had to do was claim the little brat." The liege spoke as he turned his towards the beowolf.

"She…wasn't alone. She had help from another duelist." The beowolf spoke being careful not say anything that might anger his liege.

"Oh really. So are saying that a little human aided the huntress?" The liege said being interested.

The beowolf only nodded. The liege thought about it for a moment. It was quiet in the room. The liege was in deep thought as he was curious about this human.

"Very well. We shall resume our search for the other three huntresses that were sent here. Dispatch Mid-knight at once, and give him this deck." The liege said as he held out his hand creating a deck from dark aura surrounding him.

"Yes my lord." The beowolf stated as he grabbed the deck and proceeded to find Mid-Knight.

The lord just stared at the door, and then took out a remote activating a holographic screen. The screen then show a recording of Anna Yuno and Ruby Rose (in synchro form) battling Grim Wolf.

"How strange, but yet, problematic." The liege spoke as he then cycled through a series of cards, studying them, as he then started making a deck with dark energy surrounding him, materializing cards in his hand.

"He's using dark power to create those cards?" Yang asked.

"Are cards in this world really that important." Ozpin asked.

"In this world regularly, no, but are others where cards are the very foundation upon which unknown powers in the universe are used through, if you get what I mean." Kai explained.

"So cards in this world can be printed out or made by using certain forms of energy?" Winter asked.

"Exactly." Kai answered while snapping his fingers.

"I didn't think there were worlds that existed where cards can be a catalyst for power in such a way." Cinder admitted.

"Yeah, there even world where you guys used that power on more than one occasion." Kai told them.

This made everyone's jaws drop at hearing this. "Well, at least for RWBY and JNPR, I'd explain why but that's a completely story, literally." Kai said aloud. "And the fact that it would spoil the plot as a whole." He thought to himself.

(Jewel City Plaza)

Anna, Zack and Ruby were in the Jewel City Plaza walking around. They were currently using the device that Victoria gave them to find Ruby's friends.

"Are we there yet?" Ruby complained.

"No Ruby. We still have to wait for the machine to pick up a signal." Anna spoke as she look down at the screen.

"Well, we could go grab a bite to eat. I mean, who knows when that thing will go off. It could be minutes, hours, days, or even, oh wait, it's happening right now." Zack said as the machine emitted a beeping noise from it.

"Well, that's convenient." Sun commented.

Anna, Zack and Ruby headed towards the area the machine showed where it was pinpointing the energy source.

"To reach your destination, turn left on Sapphire Avenue, and then proceed to go straight for the next 50 ft." The machine spoke.

"Was that a GPS function?" Ironwood asked, baffled by the device's utility.

"Huh. It's even got a GPS feature on it." Zack said, alarmed that the machine spoke.

"It would seem so." Penny noted.

"That device could be useful if we ever have to find anyone." Ruby commented.

"Are we there yet?" Ruby asked again.

"No Ruby. We are not there yet." Anna said.

Cinder, of all people, felt the need to ask. "Is she always like this?" She asked.

"You have no idea." Qrow answered.

"When we were kids, it was worse than this, believe me." Yang added.

After 45 minutes of walking, the gang were standing in front what appears to be an acting theater, which was closed. Anna then proceeded to pick the lock with a paper clip she kept in her pocket and opened the door.

"Hey Anna, where did you learn to pick locks?" Zack asked.

"When you get trapped in the storage room during the end of school on a Friday, you start to pick up on a thing or two." Anna said as Ruby and Zack just looked at her with a sweat drop on their heads.

"Huh, that's one way to pick up the craft." Emerald noted.

"You said it." Blake said.

The theater was dark, but only with a little bit of light that was shining from the tiny lamps that illuminated a portion of the darkness. The tracker began beeping faster and faster. Anna, Zack and Ruby proceeded down the aisle, following the tracker.

"You know I heard rumors that this place haunted by a spirit." Zack said.

"As in like a…g-g-ghost?" Ruby said scared of what Zack said.

"You're afraid of ghosts?" Nora asked.

"No, of course not, that was when I was a kid." Ruby answered... very quickly.

Kai took note of this and smiled deviously in his head. "Then what's that on your six." He asked pointing behind Ruby.

Ruby squeaked in fear as she slowly turned around, not seeing Kai crouch down and not hearing him open up a trap door in the floor. Ruby was confused to see nothing behind her. "Hey, are you-" Ruby couldn't finish her sentence as a masked puppet with a black body came lunging at her with a jump scare inducing screech following it.

"SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Ruby jumped out of her seat and hid behind Qrow for cover, shaking while tears began to form in her eyes.

"HAHAHAHAHA." The puppet disappeared as Kai shut the trap door in the floor with his leg. "Man do I owe the FNAF franchise a solid or what." He joked as the whole theater was trying to hold back some laughter while Ruby started to seethe with anger, she ran up to Kai and began fruitlessly flailing her arms on him in an attempt to hurt the guy who scared the daylights out of her.

"IT'S NOT FUNNY! Seriously, why am I the butt of the jokes in this room." Ruby asked in blind fury.

"Don't worry, I promise I'll not do anything like that again." Kai promised.

"Fine." Ruby pouted as she returned to her seat as everyone calmed down.

"Yeah. Recently, guards working here have seen some crazy stuff. They would say that down below, in the cellar, barrels and crates would be flying towards them and floating around in weird motions. Also, the temperature down below would get so cold, that icicles would form on the ceiling. And the scariest part is that they would hear a crying girl at times." Zack said, scaring the heck out of Ruby.

"Zack, there is no such thing as ghosts." Anna said.

"In this world maybe." Kai muttered.

"What about duel spirits?" Zack said.

"Duel spirits, and ghosts are entirely different things. Duel spirits are spirits that are sentient and exist on different plane, and use their respective card to come to our world. A ghost is a dead person who haunts the living." Anna explained.

Just then, the temperature just dropped. The tracking device also displayed a temperature feature showing a decrease in temperature to 45 F.

"Oh don't tell me." Weiss asked.

"Is it the ghost?" Pyrrha asked.

"Or maybe..." Ren had an alternative take on what Zack had said.

"Did it just get colder?" Zack said rubbing his arms to keep himself warm.

"Maybe…it's…just an A.C. malfunction." Ruby spoke as she was a little nervous.

Anna was getting a little scared. As they approach the backstage, it started to get colder and colder by the second, and they failed to notice something moving from behind. Suddenly, a loud crash was heard from behind, and when they turned around, they saw a wooden chair flying towards them! Anna, Zack and Ruby got down just in the nick of time as the chair shattered into little pieces behind them.

"Now that was a close one." Ruby exclaimed.

However, when the three of them turned their heads around, they saw multiple random objects, wooden sticks, sword props, cardboard designs, fake stars, sandbags, and even a half-eaten sandwich, slowly moving towards them. Anna, Zack and Ruby were stunned with fear. Then, all of the floating items started hurtling towards them.

"Oh boy." Glynda eyes shrunk at the sight.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" All three of them screamed as they ran away from the floating items that were out to get them.

"I THOUGHT YOU SAID THERE WERE NO SUCH THINGS AS GHOSTS!?" Ruby yelled as she was hovering away from the items. (She is a duel spirit).

"I TOLD YOU SO!" Zack yelled as he moved to the left to evade a flying tomato.

"THERE HAS TO BE A LOGICAL EXPLANATION TO ALL OF THIS!" Anna yelled.

"I swear, if actually a ghost, I going to scream." Weiss said, not knowing that Kai was laughing at the fact that SHE said that.

The three of them kept on running, until they found a pile of pillows and hid in there. Anna however notice the items kept moving in straight direction, until they hit the wall. As the three hid, nothing else happen. Anna was curious, so she picked up a nearby pebble and threw it at the ground across. As the pebble landed on the ground, Anna saw a white circle appear underneath the crate right next to them, which moved it towards the pebble.

"Huh?" Qrow saw the design on the circle and leaned forward.

"Was that?" Winter leaned in as well.

"Let me try that!" Zack said quietly, as he pick up two pebbles and threw them at the ground in different places.

Like last time, two objects had a white circle appear underneath each of them, and move towards the pebbles. Zack was amused by this, and then proceeded to throw more pebbles. Zack watch in amusement as multiple items crashed into each other, walls and the ground.

"JUST PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE!" A female voice screamed from below.

Everyone gasped at the sound of the voice. "That was my voice." Weiss exclaimed.

"Then that would mean that it's Weiss doing all that." Winter raised her hand to her chin.

Everyone then directed their attention towards the ground and found a cellar door on the ground. Anna and Zack were startled by the voice. Ruby however, looked like she realize something.

"Wait a minute! Cold temperatures, white circles moving objects, and that voice! It must be!" Ruby said as she flew into the cellar.

Anna and Zack went after Ruby and followed her down the stairs. Once they got to the bottom, Zack turned on his flashlight. Only to get hit by a rubber ball in the face.

"I'm okay!" Zack yelled.

Anna then turned her head from where the ball came from. That's when she saw another chibi girl. She was young girl, wearing a pale blue bolero jacket that was red on the inside, over a thigh-length dress with a piece of black lace making up the neckline of the dress, along with white boots. She had white hair and with a pulled back off-centered ponytail, with a tiara at the base of it. She had ice blue eyes and a scar on her left eye. She also appeared to be a rapier in her hand, and was a fencing like stance. Anna saw that the girl was pretty, but scared.

Ruby gasped at the sight. "Oh... my... GOSH! It's a chibi Weiss!" Ruby exclaimed, looking at Weiss's shorter counterpart.

"It WAS Weiss all along." Sun smiled.

"And she's lookin' pretty adorable." Yang complemented.

"Just stay back. Or else I'm make you wish you never met me." The White chibi said.

"Always the ice queen, huh?" Blake asked.

"Oh shush." Weiss said to Blake.

"Weiss. Is that you?" Ruby said coming up from behind Anna.

"Ruby?" The girl named Weiss said, as her face of fear turned to one of surprise.

"MY BEST FRIEND!" Ruby shouted with joy, as she jumped into the air and tackled the white haired girl named Weiss.

"Same person, same thought processes I guess." Yang said.

"Because why not." Weiss said.

"Can't…breathe. Ruby…let go…of me…please." Weiss said as she was crushed by Ruby's hug.

After Ruby let go of Weiss, Weiss stood back up dusting the dirt off her clothes and directed her attention towards Ruby.

"Where in the world were you? Do have any idea what I've been through!? I've been stuck down here for so long, and I never knew how to get out. This place is the worst! Also, why are you so tiny?" Weiss asked and exclaimed.

"You're tiny too, Weiss." Ruby said pointing towards her.

"Wait! What?!" Weiss said as she looked at her chibified self.

"She didn't notice her size?" Emerald wondered.

"Probably still in a bit of shock, being in a new world and all." Nora theorized.

"Sounds plausible." Ren said in agreement.

"Ruby. What in the world is going on here?" Weiss said sounding very annoyed.

"That spaceman sent us to a world where everything we know about Remnant doesn't exist in this world, except people and civilization, there is no dust, no huntsmen, no grim, except the ones who came here, no cool weapons, and most of aura is limited here so that's why we are tiny." Ruby said to Weiss in a frantic way.

"That was to be expected. Expect us having to be tiny." Weiss said in a calm tone.

"You knew that already?" Ruby said in a blank tone.

"Huh?" Ruby was about as shocked her shorter counterpart.

"How did she..." Jaune wondered.

"Whoever sent us here clearly said that we would going to a different world. It isn't surprising that this place isn't like Remnant. Not every world has what we have Ruby. It's so obvious." Weiss said.

"Oh…yeah. I guess you're right." Ruby said feeling a little stupid after hearing what Weiss said.

"That does make sense when said out loud." Pyrrha commented.

"Well, Weiss is more mentally refined than Ruby, maybe that had some part to play in it." Yang jokingly theorized.

Ruby didn't even bother at this point and let it roll off her back with a huff.

"But your explanation on why we are miniaturized makes sense. Anyway, how are we supposed to get anything done while we are so tiny? Better yet, how did you even get here?" Weiss asked, realizing Ruby couldn't have gotten here on her own.

"Weiss. I would like you to meet our new friends! Anna and Zack." Ruby said as she extended her hand towards the two.

"Hi. Didn't want to bother your reunion." Anna said, as she waved back with a smile.

"Yo." Zack said as he was still on the ground pointing two fingers at them, as he had a smile as well.

While Ruby waved back, Weiss just had a stern expression on her face.

"What does she want to say now?" Mercury asked.

"Ruby, we need to talk. I know that we have to prevent whatever dark force came to this world, but I would prefer the help from people that aren't fifteen year olds." Weiss said plainly.

"But I'm fifteen." Ruby said.

"You're a huntress. They're not. You can't just enlist the help of the first two people you come in contact with." Weiss said, looking at Anna and Zack who were just waiting around.

"If only she saw how Anna was able to hold her own in the last episode, she'd lose her mind." Yang smirked.

"I think that me going to lose it anyway." Weiss thought out loud.

"But they can help, and it's not like we can do anything looking like this. No one will take us seriously." Ruby said while putting herself in a battle stance.

Although Ruby tried to put on a battle face, Weiss had to admit that was hard to take Ruby seriously.

"Hehe, those chibi forms of yourselves really do make you look cute." Yang said poking fun at the two partners.

"Yeah, well I look forward to seeing your chibi form." Weiss said in retaliation while crossing her arms.

"I will admit that we need help, but why those two?" Weiss said looking Anna and Zack, who were punching each other in the arm and laughing.

"Because they saved my life when I got here. Why don't you give them a chance Weiss? You gave me a chance and look where we are right now." Ruby said in a more serious tone.

Those words slapped Weiss across the face, making her think back as to how much Ruby has grown from the... mildly immature girl that she was back when her days at Beacon were getting off the ground. "She's right, Anna and Zack deserve a chance, without a doubt." Weiss said solemnly.

"Thanks for saying that, Weiss." Ruby thanked the heiress with gratitude.

Winter saw the look Weiss had in her eyes when she said that, and smiled. "Just how much have you grown in your time at Beacon, dear sister." Winter thought to herself.

Weiss thought about it for a moment. She remember the first time she meet Ruby, being unimpressed with every single aspect of her. It wasn't until later till she got to know Ruby better, eventually becoming the best of friends.

Ruby gasped at this. "You really mean it?" Ruby asked with a look of hope in her eyes.

Weiss was swapping looks between Ruby and the screen, upset at the revelation, but sighed and relented. "Yeah, and..." Weiss thought for a moment and smiled. "I have to thank you for not giving up on me in that regard." Weiss said sincerely.

The people who knew Weiss well had a look of shock present on their faces, Beacon's resident Ice Queen basically just admitted to the fact that she does indeed have a best friend.

"Of course I wouldn't give up on you, we're BFF's after all." Ruby said hugging Weiss, only this time, out of all the other times this happened, Weiss hugged Ruby back with a smile.

"You know what, I'm done with the Ice Queen nickname." Yang said.

"Same here." Blake said in agreement.

"Yeah." JNPR agreed as well.

Kai looked on at the sight and smiled. "Goodbye, Ice Queen, hello, White Rose." The writer thought.

"You really have grown a lot since you left Atlas, huh?" Winter asked Weiss, who looked up to her.

"You have no idea." Weiss told her.

"Alright, fine. I'll give them a shot." Weiss said reluctantly.

Ruby cheered for joy from hearing her friend's reply, crushing her with another hug. Anna and Zack meanwhile, were talking until they saw something.

"Hey Anna, I think I see a card over there." Zack said pointing to the corner of the cellar room.

Anna proceeded to pick up the card and was slightly surprised when she saw it. The card's name was "RWBY-Soul: Weiss Schnee".

"Another RWBY card?" Cinder noted.

"Wonder what it can do." Qrow wondered.

"Well, looks like we found what we came for." Anna said, while having a feeling it was too easy.

"Ahem." Weiss spoke trying to get Anna and Zack's attention.

"I have decided to let you two join us in our mission to fight the Grimm. This however does not mean we are friends." Weiss said, quickly stating the last part.

"Geez, that's cold. Are you an ice queen?" Anna asked sarcastically.

"Hey! I'm not an ice queen!" Weiss snapped with an annoyed look on her face.

Yang sighed at this. "We might be done with Ice Queen, but they're just getting started." She said.

"Just when I thought I was done hearing that nickname." Weiss defeatedly slumped down into her chair.

"Hey, we gonna stop calling you that so that's a first, right?" Ruby asked.

Weiss looked at Ruby and smiled. "Yeah, I guess so." She answered.

"Weiss, has a hard time making new friends. She will warm up to you guys eventually." Ruby said.

"I don't have a hard time making friends. I'm just unsure if I should place my faith in couple of 15 year olds." Weiss said as she was slightly blushing from Ruby's last statement.

"That's fair, I mean, she's yet to see that worlds form of combat." Emerald noted.

"Wonder how she'll react to it." Mercury said.

"She'll probably not be impressed at first." Yang guessed.

"Hey Anna. If we want to get know the Ice Queen more, maybe we should, break, the ice?" Zack said as he had a smile on his face nudging Anna in the arm.

Everyone just looked at him with blank looks, as he snickered at his own pun.

"Now if only we could get Yang to stop with the puns." Jaune said with his palm in his face as most people groaned.

"Oh, come on, you know their good." Yang exclaimed flailing her arms around, getting nothing but looks of denial from the student so Beacon and skepticism from the people who don't know her well enough.

"For your information, my name is Weiss Schnee. Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company. My semblance happens to be the usage of glyphs, and I'm highly capable on the battlefield using dust with my weapon, Myrtenaster. I'm also considered the smartest of my team." Weiss stated as she held her head high.

"That would explain why the objects were moving, and why it was so cold. Told you there was a logical explanation to this." Anna said to Zack.

"Guess she must have been real lonely and paranoid down here. I mean, who wouldn't be?" Zack said.

Weiss' face turned a little red, upon hearing that.

"Yeah, good thing we came along and save her, and now we have a new friend." Anna stated happily.

Weiss turned even redder.

"I think deep down, Weiss is big softy with a warm heart." Zack said.

"Enough already, let's just go!" Weiss yelled as she floated out of the cellar.

"Yep, real big softy right there." Zack said.

"Wait, where's the Grimm that the 'liege' sent after them?" Cinder wondered.

"Maybe he's late?" Ruby asked.

"Or maybe he's on a vacation." Nora hoped.

Anna, Zack and Ruby followed Weiss out of the cellar. Anna however felt like this wasn't going to be so easy. She then place the new card she got into her deck, knowing it would help in the future. When they reach the top, they saw Weiss who was standing in fear, and in a battle stance wielding her Myrtenaster. When the rest of the group turned their heads, their expression change to that of fear. On stage was an armored Grimm. It wore chest armor that had a series of gaps in it, shoulder pads with double edge bone spikes, two gauntlet like pieces, chainmail leggings and fur boots. Its helmet was of a crusader helmet design, and one could see his eyes glowing red.

"You know what I'm here for." The Armored Grimm spoke.

"Oooorrrrr, he's right in front of them." Ruby and Nora defeated said together.

Weiss, then on instinct attack the armored grim. However, the armored man pulled out a long broadsword, that would be too heavy for a normal man to use and parried all of Weiss' attacks. The gaps in the armored grim allowed him to move easily as he was able to move faster than a fully armored knight. The Armored Grimm then jabbed Weiss with the end of his sword and sent her flying across the other side of the stage.

"WEISS!" Ruby yelled in horror seeing her friend down.

"Dang it, she doesn't stand a chance against the Grimm in that form." Blake said.

The armored Grimm approached Weiss, and reached his hand down near her. An energy sphere then formed around her, preventing the Armored Grimm from grabbing her.

"Oh, I forgot about that." Nora admitted.

"That certainly is a useful trick, now is it." Pyrrha said after taking a breather.

"So it seems that you are already linked to your duelist. There really is no easy method." The Armored Grim said as he directed his attention towards Anna.

Weiss was confused on why the armored Grimm knight would want a fifteen year old, who wasn't even a Huntress. Also, she notice the serious look on Anna. It was a huge contrast from the childish look she had back down in the cellar.

"So you are Anna Yuno I presume?" The Armored Grim asked.

"Yeah. And who might you be?" Anna asked back.

"Mid-Knight is my name, and I challenge you to a duel!" Mid-Knight declared pointing his finger at Anna.

"This is where things get real." Yang said.

Weiss than got back up and went over to Anna.

"What are you thinking you dolt?! There is no possible way you can defeat him! Grimm aren't just vicious, they are also clever, and this one seems to be very intellectual." Weiss said, shocked that she thought Anna was going to fight wield a sword to fight.

"Weiss. Their battle method is different. They are going to duel in a very unique way." Ruby stated with a smile having hope in Anna.

"What are you talking about?" Weiss said, with a confused yet worried look on her face.

"Here comes the reaction." Winter leaned forward.

"How do you know." Kai asked her.

"Gut feeling." Winter answered.

"Just watch and learn." Zack said with a grin on his face.

Anna and Mid-Knight walked to the opposing sides of the stage and prepared themselves. Mid-Knight raised his left arm, and dark energy swirled around it creating the Grimm-exclusive duel disk. Anna took out her D-tablet and attached to her dueling gauntlet which then extended. Both respective players then place their deck into the disk.

"Wait. THEY ARE GOING TO SETTLE THE FIGHT, WITH A CARD GAME!?" Weiss yelled in disbelief.

"There it is." Mercury said as he started laughing.

"I'd probably have the same reaction if I were in her shoes." Cinder admitted.

"Yep. That's what they did last time when they first meet me." Ruby said giving out a nervous chuckle.

"This is, the most stupid, method of fighting, of all time." Weiss said with deadpanned look on her face, as she was unimpressed, that an evil Grimm and a 15 year girl, were fighting with a card game.

A growl was heard through the theater as the audience turned to Kai, who had a scowl painted across his face. "Ummm, something wrong?" Ruby dared to asked.

Kai heard them and took a deep breath. "Yeah, I'm fine, I just get ticked off whenever I hear something like that." Kai admitted.

"Why though?" Ironwood asked.

"It's complicated and unrelated to the topic, moving on." Kai sternly said as he faced the screen.

"Just watch the duel, and you might have a different opinion at the end." Zack said while grinning at Weiss.

"Doubt it." Weiss said turning her head away, remembering the first time she played a card game. Tears were shed that one day.

"Duel!" Both players yelled out as they draw their respective cards.

Turn 1: Mid-Knight

Mid-Knight: 4000LP vs Anna Yuno: 4000LP

Mid-Knight Hand: 5 vs Anna Yuno Hand: 5

"I'll shall make the first move. I will place one monster facedown defense position, and then another card facedown and end my turn." Mid-knight said in stern tone.

"Well, this is utterly boring." Weiss said coldly.

"It's only the beginning of the game, and you are already belittling the game?" Zack asked in a deadpanned tone.

"That's Weiss for you. She is the ice queen." Ruby said.

"Hey!" Weiss exclaimed.

"Man, you are icy right out of the gate here." Yang noted.

"And it's not helping my case here at all, on the terms of me being an ice queen at least." Weiss admitted.

Turn 2: Anna Yuno

Mid-Knight 4000LP vs Anna Yuno 4000LP

Mid-Knight Hand: 3 vs Anna Yuno Hand: 5

"My turn. I draw!" Anna declared as she drew her card.

"This is bound to put you on thin ice. I play my Blizzard Warrior in attack mode!" Anna said while putting a monster card on her disk.

Blizzard Warrior

Level 3: Attribute Water

Warrior/Effect

ATK: 1400 DEF: 400

When Weiss heard the name, she became a little intrigued, as she stared with curiosity at the card that materialized on the field, with low expectations. The monster that appeared was a knight like figure who wore light blue armor, with gauntlets, shoulder pads, leg and waist guards that appear to made out of ice. His chest armor was light blue and well crafted. His helmet resembled that of a knight's helmet with a beautiful snowflake design on top, and he wore a blue cape that majestically flowed in the wind. His weapon was a double sided sword, with the blades being made of blue crystal like ice. Upon seeing this monster, Weiss' eyes were just glued onto every aspect of the monster, going beyond what she was expecting. Ruby stared at the monster with awe as well.

"Whoa, an ice themed monster." Weiss said intrigued.

"Impressive armor." Winter noted.

"Indeed, and the fact that there's actual ice incorporated into it is remarkable." Ironwood noted.

"HE…LOOKS…AMAZING!" Ruby screamed.

"Yeah…he does." Weiss said, still staring with amazement at the monster.

"Looks like someone is starting to warm up a bit." Zack said while grinning towards Weiss.

"I…I'll will admit that Blizzard Warrior is impressive, but that does not mean I will like the game!" Weiss yelled, but secretly wonder what this game was about.

"You're starting like this now right?" Zack asked with a sly tone.

"I AM NOT!" Weiss yelled, at Zack.

Back to Duel

"Blizzard Warrior, attack that facedown monster with Icicle Cross!" Anna declared while pointing towards the facedown.

Blizzard Warrior respond, proceeded to attack the face down. He then swung down diagonally, then horizontally, as his blade emitted ice shards with each hit, which Weiss found to be cool, but tried not to show it. The face down was split in two, to reveal a cellular, hairy, and purple monster with brown like membrane.

"Ewwwwww. What is that thing?" Ruby said disgusted by the monster.

"That's Giant Germ." Zack stated.

"A GIANT GERM!" Ruby and Weiss screamed in horror as they held each other.

"KEEP THAT MONSTORCITY AWAY FROM ME!" Weiss yelled.

"I DON'T WANT TO GET INFECTED BY THAT THING!" Ruby cried.

The vision of an actual giant germ got everyone to be disgusted very quickly.

"An actual jumbo-sized germ." Yang asked.

"I think that Blizzard Warrior might want to wash his weapon after a battle with that thing.

"YOU THINK, it's an actual germ of completely abnormal size for what it is." Weiss exclaimed.

"How is such a thing even possible?" Winter wondered.

Giant Germ

Level 2: Attribute Dark

Fiend/Effect

ATK: 1000 DEF: 100

The Germ shattered to pieces. Ruby and Weiss were relieved that it was gone. However, Mid-Knight had planned this.

"You activated Giant Germ's ability. When it is destroyed in battle, it inflicts 500 points of damage to you!" Mid-Knight declared.

Anna then had a red aura surrounding her, as it inflicted pain to her, as she flinched back.

Anna: 4000LP - 500LP = 3500LP

"And like most Germs, it multiplies. Giant Germ's other ability lets me summon other Giant Germs to the field in attack position from my deck." Mid-Knight said, as he pulled two copies of Giant Germ from his deck and placed them on the field. Frightening Ruby and Weiss even more as there were two more.

"A monster that damage the opponent when destroyed, and multiply's upon its destruction." Cinder noted.

"Just like an actual germ." Qrow said.

"Good on the monster for sticking to the source material." Yang said.

"However, my Blizzard Warrior's ability activates as well. When he destroys a monster in battle, I can see the top card of your deck! Ice reflection!" Anna said, after recovering from the small damage.

Blizzard warrior then raised his sword and shot an energy beam at Mid-Knight's deck. Then, the top card of the deck was reflected upon Blizzard Warrior's sword. The card was trap card, showing a two cylinders, marked with question marks, with an arrow going through one, and then coming out of the other.

"A pair of cylinders." Ren said, looking at the card.

"Hey Zack, what is that card?" Weiss asked, curious about it.

"It's the "Magical Cylinder Trap card". It's really deadly if used right." Zack said.

"How so?" Ruby asked curious about it too.

"Okay. Let's say that Anna attacks with a monster with 2500 Attack points, and Mid-Knight has magical cylinders facedown. When she orders the attack, Mid-knight can activate the trap, negating the attack and deal her damage equal to the attacking monster's attack points." Zack explained.

"WHAT!" The student of Beacon gasped hearing the effect.

"If that scenario actually happened now..." Jaune started saying.

"Anna would lose over half her life points." Winter finished.

"It's a very powerful card, very usable in almost any deck you find." Kai stated. "Too bad that it's completely overrun by competitive deck building." Kai thought.

"So it's like a shield that protects you, and then hurts your opponent with their own attack." Weiss said as she was impressed with the card effect.

"It is cool, but is it bad for Anna since he will draw it next turn?" Ruby asked.

"I wouldn't worry about that." Zack said as Ruby and Weiss directed their attention to the duel.

"After revealing the top card of your deck, I decide if it goes to the bottom or top of the deck. Since Magic Cylinder is a deadly card, I'll send it to the bottom of the deck." Anna said as she instructed Blizzard Warrior to do what he does best.

"Whoa, a monster that can control the deck." Pyrrha said amazed.

"Incredible ability to get out of an oncoming situation." Ironwood complemented.

"Yeah, but that strategy is a double-edged sword." Kai said getting everyone's attention. "There are many factors that could be exploited if Anna were to keep it on the top of the deck." He said.

"But why would you want to keep such a powerful card on the top of your opponent's deck?" Winter asked.

"To remove the threat of it getting in the way PERMANENTLY, by keeping the card at the top of the deck, you'll able to have a higher chance of manipulating the field on your next turn." Kai explained.

"Huh?" Everyone was confused.

"By letting them draw the Magic Cylinder trap card, you gain knowledge as to what card's they have in the opponents hand, and if it were the only card in the opponent's hand and they set it face-down, you know exactly what their strategy for the next turn will be." Kai lectured them.

"I see, so by sending the Magic Cylinder to the bottom of the deck..." Ironwood was cut off.

"Anna won't have any idea as to what the Grimm will do next." Kai finished. "But Magic Cylinder is a dangerous card, and with the starting LP count at 4000, even attacking with a 1000 point monster can be dangerous in the long run." Kai told them.

"There really is a lot of strategy behind this game." Winter said.

"Told ya." Kai smirked.

Blizzard Warrior then rotated his sword 180 degrees with the card on the bottom of the sword, sending "magical cylinders" to the bottom of the deck. Mid-Knight was irritated that one of his best cards was now at the bottom of the deck. Weiss was even more impressed with Blizzard Warrior's ability. The power that affects an opponent's power source and materials, or knowing what they'll have next turn, was very strategic.

"I'll end my turn by playing one card facedown." Anna said as she place a card facedown, ending her turn.

"What will happen next is anyone's game now." Qrow noted.

Turn 3: Mid-Knight

Mid-Knight: 4000LP vs Anna Yuno: 3500LP

Mid-Knight Hand: 3 vs Anna Yuno Hand: 4

"It's my move. I draw!" Mid-Knight declared as he considered his options.

"I play Pitch-Black Warwolf in attack mode." Mid-Knight declared as he place another card on the disk.

Pitch-Black Warwolf

Level 4: Attribute Dark

Beast-Warrior/Effect

ATK: 1600 DEF: 600

The monster that appeared was a humanoid wolf, who wore battle armor that was black-silver gauntlets on its arms, legs and on the lower part of its waist. It also wore a tattered brown cloth and it wielded a red and black sword with an axe like blade at the hilt. By its name, it was black and it had red eyes. Ruby and Weiss were surprised that this monster looked like a Beowolf.

"A Beowolf that isn't a Beowolf, very similar in design." Cinder stated.

"Yeah, you still tell the difference, but..." Emerald trailed off looking at the monster.

"Now during the battle phase, you can't activate any trap cards." Mid-Knight stated.

Ruby, Weiss and Zack grew worried that Anna can't activate any of her trap cards.

"It can stop traps from activating." Nora gasped.

"That Blizzard Warrior is going down." Mercury said, knowing what was up next.

"I attack Blizzard Warrior with Pitch-Black Warwolf. Execute him immediately!" Mid-Knight declared as the Warwolf rushed forward.

Blizzard Warrior parried the first two sword strikes from Warwolf, but his sword broke from the third swing and was finished with a stab to the chest causing him to explode. Weiss was slightly sad for the warrior, being the first monster card to make a good impression on her. Anna staggered back a bit.

3500LP – 200LP = 3300LP

"I now attack with Giant Germ." Mid-Knight said as a Germ charge towards Anna.

"I my Battle Fader's special ability from my hand! Whenever, I'm attack directly, I can summon this card to the field to end the battle phase!" Anna said as she placed a new card on the disk.

Battle Fader

Level 1: Attribute Dark

Fiend/Effect

ATK: 0 DEF: 0

Battle fader appeared to be some bell monster. It had a bat like head on metal plating, four metal pieces sticking out of its back, and a black arm piece. What made it unique was the right arm was a bell, and there was a large yellow metal piece hanging from the monster. What it did was that it brought the bell down, and struck the metal piece making a "gong" sound forcing the Germ to back off.

"It used sound to ward off the monster." Cinder noted.

"That's good, cause I would not want to get rammed by a literal giant germ." Weiss said.

"Are you turning into a neat freak or something?" Yang asked.

"I'm training to be a huntress, I don't have time to be a neat freak." Weiss told her.

"Right." Sun slowly said nodding.

"That is one weird, but effective, looking monster." Weiss said as she looked at Battle Fader.

"Says the girl wearing a dress into battle." Battle Fader said back, using spirit communication.

"It's a combat skirt." Weiss stated having her arms crossed.

"Yeah!" Ruby said as she appeared right next to Weiss.

Weiss then extended out her hand, as Ruby then gave her a high five.

"Hey, that's like the one time when you guys met me, correct." Penny asked.

"Yeah, it's almost like an inside joke a little." Ruby said giggling a little.

"Since it is the end of your battle phase, I play my trap. Miracle's wake!

Miracle's Wake

Trap Card

Miracle's wake showed a ray of light piercing through dark clouds. It was an inspiring picture to look at.

Since a monster was destroyed in battle this turn, I can bring back the Blizzard warrior you destroyed." Anna said, as Blizzard Warrior returned to her side.

"I switch my remaining Giant Germ to defense mode and end my turn." Mid-Knight said, as the Giant Germ turned green, to show it was in a defensive stance.

Turn 4: Anna Yuno

Mid-Knight: 4000LP vs Anna Yuno: 3300LP

Mid-Knight Hand: 3 vs Anna Yuno: 3

"My move. I draw!" Anna said, noticing the Red chibi on the card.

"Alright. I summon RWBY-Soul: Ruby Rose to my field in attack mode." Anna said as she placed the Ruby card on the disk.

RWBY-Soul: Ruby Rose

Level 3: Attribute wind

Warrior/Tuner/Effect

ATK: 1400 DEF: 900

"It's my time to shine! Wish me luck Weiss." Ruby said as she jumped into the battlefield.

"Now I tune Level 3 Ruby Rose, with Level 1 Battle Fader, and level 3 Blizzard Warrior."

"Here comes the big guns." Sun said, getting excited.

Ruby then turned into a bright light, which then turned into three stars, and finally three green circles. Battle Fader and Blizzard Warrior were surrounded by the three rings, as their bodies became orange outlining. Weiss could not believe what she was seeing.

"Grand Rose that scatters through the air, descend to the battlefield and create a new hope." Anna chanted.

3+3+1=7

"SYNCHRO SUMMON! Come forth, Embodiment of Hope! Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose!" Anna yelled placing Ruby's synchro form on the disk.

Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose

Level 7: Attribute Wind

Warrior/Synchro/Effect

ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000

Weiss was just shocked from what just happened. Her friend Ruby was standing on the battlefield, in her battle form.

"Time to see some the Grimm go down." Yang said.

"Ruby. What happen to you?" Weiss said with shock, and but yet awed.

"What you are seeing Weiss, is how we are going to beat this guy. Now watch as I take out two of Mid-Knights' monsters!" Ruby said confidently, while pointing her finger at the monsters.

"Sadly, you can't Ruby." Anna said, with her hand on her head.

"What!? But my ability lets me attack two monsters at the same time." Ruby said being flustered.

"You can only do it if you attack a monster with 2000 or more attack points first. Then you can attack another monster at the same time. None of Mid-Knight's monsters have 2000 or more attack points." Anna said pointing towards the attack point displays of the Mid-Knight's monsters.

"Dang it, so I can't attack two monsters at once ALL the time." Ruby pouted.

"Oh. I see. Sorry about that." Ruby said with a blank look on her face while putting her two index fingers together.

"So you're telling me, that you don't even know your own card ability?" Weiss asked with a face that said, "Really".

"Cut me some slack! I'm still new to this duel monsters game!" Ruby yelled with a slightly sadden look on her face.

"Can we get back to the duel now?" Zack asked with a sweat drop on his head.

After cheering Ruby up, Anna got back on track with the duel.

"I may not be able to attack two of your monsters. But that won't stop me from attacking your Warwolf! Also, since RWBY-Soul: Ruby Rose was used for as the tuner for a Huntress card, Huntress Ruby goes up by 300 attack points" Anna declared.

Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose: 2500 ATK + 300 ATK = 2800 ATK

"This attack is going to hurt big time." Qrow said.

"Take them out, other Ruby." Nora cheered.

Ozpin and Glynda looked at the screen suspecting something was amiss.

"Ruby attack Pitch-Black Warwolf with Crescent Slash!" Anna said.

"You got it!" Ruby yelled as she charged towards the wolf.

However, Mid-Knight was smarter than Grim-Wolf, so he had a plan and knew what to do.

"I play my facedown. Fiendish chain!" Mid-Knight said as his facedown card was flipped face up.

Fiendish Chain

Trap Card: Continuous

"Fiendish what?" Nora asked.

"Does that card..." Ozpin was cut off.

Fiendish Chain depicted a demon that was surrounded by six torches that had blue flames. The demon was also surrounded by several blue flames on the ground. There were also green chains that wrapped around the torches, which seem to trap the demon within. Suddenly, green chains shot out of the card and ensnared Ruby canceling her attack, as she was wrapped up by the chain.

"Wait! What's going on here?! Let me go!" Ruby screamed as she struggle to break out of the chains with no success.

"Ruby!" Weiss and Zack yelled, while Anna had a look of irritation.

"Fiendish chain lets me select one effect monster on your side of the field and negates its abilities. Also it prevents it from attacking as well." Mid-Knight said in a calm manner.

"What!? But I just got here!" Ruby complained as she couldn't do anything.

"I knew it, he prepared for Ruby's summoning." Blake said.

"But that card was face-down since the end of his first turn, why didn't he use it Blizzard Warrior?" Yang asked.

"By comparison, it wasn't as big a threat as Ruby." Winter said.

"Damn, that Grimm is tons more tactical than any one Grimm our world." Qrow noted.

Anna, realize that Ruby wouldn't be much help for now, so she resorted to plan B.

"I activate the spell card Tribute to the Doomed!" Anna said as she played a spell from her hand.

Tribute to the Doomed

Spell Card: Normal

The spell card showed several sarcophaguses, in the background. What made the card unique was that it had a mummy wrapped in brown bandages, with only one eye, and some of its arms exposed wrapping up another mummy in white bandages. This card creeped out Ruby and Weiss just from looking at it, but it felt safe since Anna was using it.

"By discarding one card from my hand to the graveyard, I can destroy one monster you control. So I send my "united we stand" spell card to the grave, to destroy your Pitch-Black Warwolf!" Anna said pointing her finger at the wolf.

The "Tribute to the Doomed" spell card then shot out a series of white bandages, which started wrapping the wolf from head to toe. The Wolf tried to struggle, but failed to escape, as it was dragged towards the graveyard.

Everyone was shocked that the good guy had a card that creepy in her deck. "I'm going to have a nightmare or two when we get back home." Ruby said.

"That, was disturbing. But at least Anna can use trap cards again." Zack said

"I hope that never happens to me." Ruby said.

Weiss than realizes something.

"He had that chain card from the very beginning of the first turn. He could have used it to stop Blizzard Warrior's attack, but he timed everything correctly. The monster got destroyed to inflict damage and summon more from the deck. And he saved that trap card just to stop Ruby." Weiss thought of how Mid-Knight planned most of these moves.

"So she noticed too." Mercury said.

"Man, this game is actually very interesting in a sense." Emerald admitted.

"So you noticed." Zack said to Weiss

Weiss was shocked to hear Zack say something like that.

"I'm not a mind-reader Weiss, but I can tell what you are thinking by looking at your face. You see, this Duel Monsters interesting. Every card that was put into their decks are used to their full potential when they respond to the duelist and the duelist responds back. It may seem like a game to you Weiss, but to us, it's more than just that." Zack said as his quirky tone was now more serious.

"Whoa, the jokester character actually became serious for a moment." Blake said, shocked by the shift in character.

Back to the duel at hand, Anna ended her turn with a facedown.

Turn 5: Mid-Knight

Mid-Knight: 4000LP vs Anna Yuno: 3300LP

Mid-Knight Hand: 3 vs Anna Yuno Hand: 0

The match seemed even. Both players had a lot of life points, despite Mid-Knight having more than Anna. Anna had an immobile Ruby Rose and one facedown, and Mid-Knight has Germs on his field. However, Mid-Knight planned to tip the scale.

"Anna Yuno. Your efforts to defend the huntresses will be in vain. I draw." Mid-Knight said, as he was pleased with what he got.

"I play the spell card, Graceful Charity!" Mid-Knight said as he placed the spell into the slot.

Graceful charity showed an angel who looked really beautifully holding a shining card.

"This card lets me draw three cards, as long as I discard two cards from my hand." Mid-Knight stated as he did what he explained.

"Draw THREE cards!?" Ruby exclaimed.

"How does a card effect like that exist?" Jaune asked.

"Yeah, in most scenarios, it's a very broken effect, Graceful Charity is a banned card where I come from for a reason." Kai told them.

"Banned card?" Cinder asked.

"Not related to the story." Kai stated bluntly.

"Now, Giant Germs! I release both of you to bring forth an even greater power!" Mid-Knight declared.

The two Germs then disappeared from the field as the ground shook and a powerful force was felt through the air. Anna, Zack, Ruby and Weiss were worried of what was about to happen.

"I summon thee, Gilford the Legend! You shall know no mercy Anna Yuno!" Mid-Knight yelled as he held a card high in the air and placed on his disk.

Gilford the Legend

Level 8: Attribute Earth

Warrior/Effect

ATK 2600 DEF 2000

Gilford the Legend to Ruby and Weiss looked like a legendary huntsman from the history of Remnant. He wore body armor showing his abs, with shoulder pieces with two tusks sticking out of each of them. He wore iron leggings with spikes down near the boots. His head was covered by a black mask with two horns sticking out of it, and he had long red hair. He also wielded a huge and long broadsword with two hands.

Everyone was shocked at how similar the monster looked to a huntsman. "That's a duel monster?" Ironwood asked.

"But it looks so... human-like." Winter stated, noting the appearance.

"All shapes and sizes people, all shapes and sizes." Kai told them.

"So even a duel monster can look human to some degree." Ren noted.

"That guy looks amazingly cool, but..." Ruby reluctantly spoke. "I've got to go up against that guy." She finished.

"With a sword like that, even an army of Grimm would be afraid." Qrow said.

"I'm both amazed of how awesome he looks, and terrified that I'm fighting him." Ruby said while having mixed emotions about facing Gilford.

"I'm sensing such power radiating off this monster." Weiss said as she stood in place as Gilford over towered them.

"When Gilford is summon to the field, I can access any equip spell cards in my graveyard. Such as the card's I discarded earlier from my Graceful Charity card." Mid-Knight stated.

"Oh, that just great." Anna said sarcastically.

"He's making the best out of cards he lost by Graceful Charity's effect too?" Weiss exclaimed.

"Just how tactic's oriented is this game." Cinder asked.

"You know I'd be happy to show you first hand at some point." Kai said slyly, earning a confused look from everyone in the room.

"Huh?" Most of them asked.

"We'll just have to see about that at some point." Kai told them, dismissing the confusion.

"I equip my Gravity Axe – Grarl and my Twin Swords of Flashing Light – Tryce, to Gilford the Legend."

All of a sudden, the Gravity Axe appeared in Gilford's hand and then split into two from the properties from the Twin Swords.

"Gravity Axe will increase Gilford's attack by 500, but the Twin Swords will lower his attack points by 500." Mid-Knight explained.

Gravity Axe - Grarl

Spell Card: Equip

Twin Swords of Flashing Light – Tryce

Spell Card: Equip

Gilford the Legend: 2600 ATK + 500 ATK – 500 ATK = 2600 ATK

"Huh?" Everyone said again.

"He increased AND decreased the attack points?" Nora asked.

"There must be some endgame to that strategy." Ironwood said, knowing that this Grimm wouldn't make such a first grade mistake on purpose.

"Why lower the attack points. It would have made more sense just to equip the Gravity Axe?" Weiss thought in her head.

"Even Weiss sees the flawed logic in that strategy." Yang noted.

"Then from my hand, I equip axe of despair and mist body from my hand to Gilford the Legend. Axe of Despair will raise Gilford's strength by 1000 points and mist body will prevent Gilford from being destroyed in combat." Mid-Knight said in an emotionless tone.

Axe of Despair

Spell Card: Equip

Mist Body

Spell Card: Equip

Gilford the Legend: 2600 ATK + 1000 ATK = 3600 ATK

"3600 POINTS TOTAL!" Yang screamed.

"And all those are going to get Ruby clobbered." Jaune added in panic.

"Wait a minute?" Ozpin thought. "What WOULD happen if..." Ozpin's thoughts were cut off.

The axe of despair had an axe blade attached to a strange wooden base that seem to be organic. Gilford's body was then surrounded by a mist, making him partially visible.

"Wow. Talk about getting a major upgrade." Zack said in a worried tone.

"What's next to check off the list of things the bad guy has?" Nora sarcastically exclaimed.

"In my hand, I have the "My Body as a Shield" card, which will let Gilford evade destruction from a Spell, Trap or Monster effect, all at the cost of 1500 Life Points. Victory for me is assured." Mid-Knight thought to himself, seeing as he had a backup card.

Everyone heard the Grimm's thoughts and immediately turned to Nora. "I was kidding." She yelled to the ceiling.

"Now, Gilford the Legend, attack Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose with your mighty sword!" Mid-Knight yelled pointing his finger at Ruby.

Gilford marched forward with his powered up sword in hand. Ruby desperately tried to break out of the chains, but it wasn't long till Gilford showed up in front of Ruby.

"Uh oh." Ruby said meekly as she had a blank expression on her face as she was scared to death of what was about to happen next.

With a mighty swing from his sword, Gilford attacked Ruby who screamed in pain from the devastating attack.

"AAHHHHHHHHHH!" Ruby screamed in pain as she then shattered, showing that she got destroyed.

"RUBY." The students of Beacon shouted.

"DAMMIT!" Qrow shouted, in anguish of seeing his niece get literally cut down.

"RUBY!" Weiss and Zack yelled in horror as they just saw Ruby got destroyed.

Anna staggered a bit since she took damage.

Anna Yuno: 3300LP – 1100LP = 2200LP

"This is the end. Due to the Twin swords of flashing light, Gilford is allowed to attack again!" Mid-Knight yelled, believing the duel is his.

"That's why he equipped it! He planned on ending everything on this turn!" Weiss thought as she stared in horror as Gilford prepared for another attack.

"WHAT" Ruby exclaimed.

"Is that allowed?" Yang asked.

"Yep, that's only one effect of its kind, there are many others of its variety." Kai told them.

Cinder heard this and was shocked inside. "How many varieties of effects are there in this card game." Cinder thought to herself.

"Final Attack! Gilford destroy Anna Yuno with no mercy!" Mid-Knight ordered Gilford, believing that Anna's facedown was a destruction card.

"She's gonna lose this quickly?" Emerald asked.

Anna's card however was something different.

"I reveal facedown trap card! Reanimation Wave!" Anna yelled as she triggered her trap card.

Reanimation Wave showed Dark Ruler Ha Des sending out a series of dark energy waves, reviving a skull demon.

"I can only activate this card when I'm attacked directly. This card halves the damage I take as long as there is a synchro monster in my graveyard whose level is equal or less than the attacking monster. Last I check, Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose is in my graveyard, and her level is 7, and Gilford's level is 8." Anna said as she braced herself for the attack.

The reanimation wave, sent out a wave of energy, weakening Gilford just a bit, as he brought down his sword striking Anna.

"AAAAHHHHHHH!" Anna screamed as she was thrown back from the attack.

"ANNA!" Zack yelled as he saw her friend barely surviving against an attack that would have killed her.

Anna Yuno: 2200 LP – (3600/2) LP = 400 LP

"She survived... that's good." Pyrrha said.

"Yeah, she survived, by the skin of her teeth." Qrow stated.

"It's gonna take a miracle level comeback for her to win on her next turn." Winter stated.

Anna then stood back up and continued the effect of her trap.

"In addition…, Reanimation Wave brings back…the synchro monster that was…, targeted in my…graveyard." Anna said, as she could barely talked.

A dark portal like circle in the ground appeared in front of Anna, and Ruby Rose emerged from the portal. She was however dizzy after being hit by Gilford's last attack.

"Where…am I?" Ruby said as her eyes were little swirls as she stumbled around for a while.

When she regained her senses, she saw that Anna was injured and hurt real badly.

"Anna! Are you okay?" Ruby said, concerned about her friend.

"Yeah. I guess I'm okay." Anna said weakly.

"I'll give you credit for surviving two consecutive attacks, but next turn, you won't be so lucky. I place one card facedown, and end my turn" Mid-Knight said keeping his calm composure.

Turn 6: Anna Yuno

Mid-Knight: 4000LP vs Anna Yuno: 400LP

Mid-Knight Hand: 0 vs Anna Yuno Hand: 0

"Dammit, the Grimm bastard still hasn't taken any damage." Qrow noted in despair.

"It certainly looks like that, doesn't it." Cinder said, having an inkling that something would rear its head.

Anna had no cards in her hand. Ruby wasn't going to do much against Gilford. Her life points were very low. Everything depends on the next draw. She was going to draw until Mid-Knight said something.

"You have no chance of winning. I suggest you give up." Mid-Knight said.

Anna stopped moving as she notice and heard those words.

"There is no possible way that you could beat me. But since you fought valiantly to the end, if you surrender right now, I'll let you go free, but I'll take the huntresses." Mid-Knight said.

Most of the people staring at the screen in mild anguish heard those words and it only worsened the feeling in the room to them.

"What? Anna would never throw in the towel!" Ruby yelled in shock at the proposal.

"You never intended to fight alongside the huntresses in the first place. So you don't have to be here. You can let it all end now." Mid-Knight said in reasonable tone.

Weiss got on her knees and looked down.

"It's true. We just met Anna. It's not like we known Anna for all our lives, and it wasn't her fight to begin with." Weiss said to herself.

Zack on the other hand just stared at Mid-Knight, with a straight and serious face.

"Now he has done it." Zack said in a stern tone.

Everyone was confused by what the Zack had said.

Mid-Knight continued with his argument.

"I will report to my commander that you have lost your memory and-," was all Mid-Knight could say until interrupted by Anna.

"STOP SPOUTING THAT NONSENSE!" Anna yelled with rage taking everyone but Zack by surprised.

Everyone backed up at hearing the girl snap so suddenly.

"Whoa, where's the fire in that girl?" Yang said in a joking, yet fearful way.

"I was bad enough that you suggested that I ditched people who were in need of help. But you just had to cross the line." Anna said angrily.

"What…What are you talking about?" Mid-Knight asked, slightly worried.

"You told me give up! GIVE UP!? SURRENDER!? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT DUEL MONSTERS IS ABOUT!?" Anna yelled with spite and anger.

"Anna?" Ruby asked being slightly scarred of Anna's change in emotion.

"What's she talking about?" Ironwood asked.

"A true duelists fights till the bitter end. No matter how bad the situation is, even if there is no chance of winning. TELLING ME TO GIVE UP IS AN INSULT TO MY PRIDE, AS WELL AS MY SPIRIT OF A DUELIST! I WOULD FIGHT, AND FIGHT TILL THE LAST OF MY LIFE POINTS ARE GONE! AND AS A DUELIST, I SHALL NOT FORGIVE YOU FOR NOT ONLY HURTING MY FRIENDS, BUT FOR INSULTING MY PRIDE AND SPIRIT AS A DUELIST!" Anna yelled, with such anger.

Everyone felt the energy that Anna gave off, and that energy made the feeling of anguish in the room disappear instantly, planting a smile on the students of Beacon's faces, as well as Ozpin and Glynda. "That girl has most certainly got the spirit of a huntress, that's for sure." Ozpin said.

"You said it, and with a speech like that, I'd be stupid to disagree with that logic." Qrow said.

"I don't why, but I have a feeling that she won't lose this duel." Oscar said.

"Anna doesn't like to hear someone tell her to "give up". To her, it means to stop evolving." Zack explained to everyone.

Weiss on the other hand, saw it in a different light. Her will not to give up, and to keep going rather to stop. To protect her pride as a duelist, and stand strong even if her odds looked bleak. She herself was also proud of her strength, and would rather keep going than to give in. While most saw it as a peeve, Weiss saw it as the will to protect her pride as a duelist, as a huntsman would protect his.

"MY TURN!" Anna yelled.

"Go get them, Anna!" Ruby cheered.

"Take that Grimm to pain town!" Nora cheered as well.

"Show them who's boss!" Yang pitched in.

"I play the spell card Pot of Greed! Now I can draw two more cards from my deck." Anna said as she became calm.

Pot of Greed

Spell Card: Normal

The pot of greed was a pot that was green with blue lines, and a blue handle. It also had small red eye slits and had a huge smile showing twenty teeth. When Anna drew her cards, one of them made her smile. She then turned to Weiss.

"Weiss." Anna called out.

Weiss turned her head towards Anna and looked at her.

"I know you don't consider me as a friend yet, but could you please lend-," Anna said, before being interrupted by Weiss.

"Say no more." Weiss said.

"Huh?" Anna responded.

"I said that I have accepted you as our comrade, so that means I trust you. Besides, I cannot forgive those who insult the pride of others. This is more than just a game to you. It's your passion, and you defend this passion because you are proud of it. You have my respect for that." Weiss said looking at Anna telling her that she was serious about this.

"Awwwwww. Weiss, you really do have a heart." Zack said with a grin on his face.

"She sure does." Ruby said in agreement with Zack.

"Quiet you!" Weiss snapped at Zack who snickered.

"Alright Weiss. Let's go beyond the limit!" Anna yelled.

"You know, I kinda like that phrase." Yang said with a smile.

"I can't blame you for that." Sun said.

Anna then returned attention back to the duel with the smile that tells the world to bring it on.

(Play Fang of Critias)

"Wow, nice music we've got here." Jaune said.

"Indeed, sets the tone pretty well." Pyrrha said in agreement.

"Since you control more spell or trap card than me, I can special summon RWBY-Soul: Weiss Schnee from my hand!" Anna said, regaining her composure.

Weiss then jumped from the sidelines into battle as she ready herself for what was going to happen.

RWBY-Soul: Weiss Schnee

Level 2: Attribute Water

Spellcaster/Tuner/Effect

ATK 1200 DEF 1000

"Let's see what you can do, Weiss." Pyrrha said cheerfully.

"My BFF!" Ruby said.

"No." Weiss Replied.

"Yes." Ruby whispered to herself.

Weiss felt a chill go up her spine. "Why do I feel like that's alluding to something." She thought to herself

"I now summon my Junk Blader to the field in Attack mode!" Anna yelled.

Junk Blader

Level 4: Attribute Earth

Warrior/Effect

ATK 1800 DEF 1000

Junk Blader appeared right between Ruby and Weiss.

"Now I tune Level 2 Weiss Schnee, with Level 4 Junk Blader." Anna declared extending her arm.

After seeing what happen to Ruby, Weiss knew what to do as she turn into two green rings, as they surrounded Junk Blader, turning him into four stars.

"Maiden of Dust and Glyphs, come to my side to vanquish thy foes!" Anna chanted.

2+4=6

"SYNCHRO SUMMON! Come forth Embodiment of Pride, White Snow Huntress: Weiss Schnee!" Anna yelled as she placed the new synchro monster on her disk.

Weiss then appeared in the pillar of light, wearing a pale blue bolero jacket that was red on the inside, over a thigh-length dress with a piece of black lace making up the neckline of the dress, along with white boots. She had white hair and with a pulled back off-centered ponytail, with a tiara at the base of it. She had ice blue eyes and a scar on her left eye. She was wielding Myrtenaster in her left hand, in a combat stance.

White Snow Huntress: Weiss Schnee

Level 6: Attribute Water

Spellcaster/Synchro/Effect

ATK 2400 DEF 1800

"Was that really necessary?" Weiss asked, as she looked at Anna and Zack.

"Yes, yes it is." Anna and Zack replied.

"And it's pretty cool if you ask me." Sun complemented.

Anna then takes notice that her graveyard was emitting a light. It was coming from the effect of RWBY-Soul: Weiss Schnee.

"Since RWBY-Soul: Weiss Schnee was used for the synchro summoning of White Snow Huntress: Weiss Schnee, I can add one spell card from my graveyard back my hand." Anna said, as a spell card came out of the grave.

"Your "Tribute to the Doomed" card is worthless, you don't have cards in hand to discard!" Mid-Knight yelled.

"Who says I'm adding that card to my hand? I'm adding the card that was discarded. My "United we Stand" spell card!" Anna yelled!

"What does that card do?" Cinder wondered.

"What!" Mid-Knight yelled.

"I equip "United we Stand" onto Weiss Schnee! For every monster card that is on my field, Weiss' attack points go up 800!" Anna said as she played the spell card.

The "United we Stand" spell card showed a red hand and a blue hand holding hands, as it signified the bonds between comrades making them stronger. Ruby and Weiss though the card had a wonderful meaning like that. Then a blue aura surrounded Weiss filling her with power, as a red aura surrounded Ruby and was transfer over to Weiss.

White Snow Huntress: Weiss Schnee: 2400ATK + 800ATK + 800ATK = 4000ATK

"An effect that boosted the power of one while they're fighting with their allies." Winter said, shocked by how symbolic the card was.

"Now we're cooking bright hot." Yang said, getting psyched seeing the attack points that Weiss had.

"4000 Attack points! It is useless however since my Mist body prevents Gilford from being destroyed in combat." Mid-Knight yelled.

Anna only smiled at this. Ruby and Weiss saw this and smiled as well knowing Anna was aware of this.

"This is where that huntsman look-a-like bites the dust." Mercury smirked.

"I now attack Gilford the Legend with Weiss Schnee!" Anna declared while extending her arm outward.

Weiss then charge at Gilford as he ready his sword.

"I activate Weiss' special ability! Whenever she attacks a monster with 2000 or more attack points, I can activate one quick-play spell from my deck!" Anna said.

"A…A Quick-Play spell!" Mid-Knight yelled in horror.

"Directly from the deck!?" The students of Beacon exclaimed.

"But which one is it?" Sun wondered.

Weiss then extended her left hand which formed a glyph that had a snow-flake like design. It then shot a ray of energy at Anna's right hand. A light blue card then materialized in Anna's hand.

"I activate the Quick-Play spell card, Spell Shattering Arrow!" Anna said as she played the magic card.

"No, not that card!" Mid-Knight yelled with dread from seeing the card.

"I like the sound of that name." Oscar said with a smile on his face.

"That's right buddy. Thanks to Spell Shattering Arrow, I can destroy each and every one of your face up spell cards, and inflict 500 points of damage for each. Since four spell cards are going to be destroyed, that means 2000 points of damage are coming your way!" Anna yelled with confidence as victory was guaranteed.

The spell card showed an arrow with a pink energy orb in the middle. A volley of arrows then shot out of the card and when struck Gilford's sword and mist surrounding him. The swords then exploded, or shattered, and the mist body vanished. The energy of the explosion was then directed towards Mid-Knight as it inflicted 2000 points of damage.

Mid-Knight: 4000LP – 2000LP = 2000LP

"YES!" Ruby cheered.

"She's got this in the bag." Blake said smiling.

"That's not all! Weiss is still attacking Gilford!" Anna yelled.

Weiss used her glyphs to propel herself into the air, as she used Myrtenaster to activate the red dust filling her with power. Gilford tried to block it with his sword, but the sword shattered as Weiss then brought the final blow to Gilford.

"Done and done." Weiss stated calmly as Gilford exploded, as she stood in front of the explosion.

Mid-Knight: 2000LP – 1400LP = 600LP

Mid-Knight staggered back, as he just lost his best card.

"All that's left is Ruby's attack." Penny said with glee.

"With no monsters left to protect you, this will be the final blow! Ruby, if you may?" Anna said.

"Considered it done!" Ruby answered back with confidence.

Ruby then charged at Mid-Knight, turning a flurry of rose petals, and then brought down her Scythe.

"AAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH!" Mid-Knight screamed in pain as he was thrown back, when the last of his life points were gone.

Mid-Knight: 600LP to 0LP

"IT'S OVER!" Sun cheered.

"And the good guys win again." Oscar said smiling.

"Thank goodness." Glynda said as she breathed in relief.

Duel Over

Winner: Anna Yuno

When the winner was declared, Zack ran up to Anna as they high fived each other. Ruby came up and hugged them both. Weiss however walked up to the defeated Mid-Knight.

"I don't get it. Why used this game as your method of claiming us? Wouldn't have made more sense to use a different form of combat?" Weiss asked.

Everyone paused in celebrating for a moment to hear the next part.

"Trust me. If there was another way, we would have done it. Upon arriving in this world, our power was limited, just as yours was. However, we discovered that this game can be used for more than just fun. By combining our dark aura with the game, we are able to create, a Game of Darkness. A Game of Darkness, lets us use our dark auras to inflict damage upon those we battle. So duel monsters in this world to us, and to you, is the new method of fighting." Mid-Knight said as he faded away.

"So that's why the Grimm used Duel Monsters." Emerald said, getting the reason they fell back on such an option.

"It's essentially their only option to some capacity." Ozpin noted.

Weiss just starred at the ash of the opponent as he faded away. She then started to wonder of how dangerous the Game of Darkness could be. Out of nowhere, Anna then patted her on the back.

"Wow Weiss. I never expected you to have an ability like that." Anna said happily.

"Yeah! You were amazing Weiss." Ruby said as she then appeared on the other side of Weiss.

"It was indeed a spectacle to watch." Zack stated, who was walking towards them.

"Of course it was. I am a Schnee and heiress to the Schnee dust company. I'm a well trained huntsmen-," Weiss said as she continued talking.

Weiss then notice a glyph over her head, which then went through her, turning her back into a chibi. Ruby then had the vortex of rose petals surround her as she was to now back in chibi form.

"It really is hard to take them seriously when they are like that." Zack said as Anna agreed with him.

"You got that right." Mercury said while laughing a little.

Outside the Theater

Anna just called Victoria to let her know they were coming back. Zack and Ruby were talking about how awesome the duel was, and Weiss was in deep thought.

"Hey Weiss, can I ask you something?" Anna asked.

"Depends on what it is." Weiss responded back.

"I was wondering if you could tell more about Remnant. Ruby did say that you would know more about Remnant and what made it interesting. You don't have to do it if you want." Anna said.

"Yeah, being honest here, the most I could muster up would probably be an abridged version at best." Ruby admitted.

"Agreed." Almost everyone said, making Ruby pout on the inside.

Weiss thought about it.

"Fine. I suppose I could teach you a little about my home. But consider this a special opportunity as I don't just do this for anyone. So you better pay attention!" Weiss stated.

"Sure, Sensei." Anna said jokingly.

Question marks popped out of everyone's heads, even the teachers of Beacon and Ironwood, as they all turned to Kai, who responded. "It's another way of saying teacher in that world." He told them.

"Oh." Everyone responded.

Weiss blushed a little at the last part, and liked it a little. Ruby then came up from behind.

"Hey Weiss. You should see the sky! The stars over here sparkle like diamonds!" Ruby exclaimed.

"Ruby that is just an exaggeration. There is no way that stars…would…sparkle…" Weiss said as she then noticed the sky.

Weiss just hovered in the air as she stared into the sky with her eyes wide were overtaken by the beauty.

"Uh, Weiss. Are you there? Hello, anybody home?" Zack asked waving his hand in front of Weiss.

"So…pretty." Weiss mumbled as she was still hypnotized by the sky.

"Again with this scenario?" Winter asked.

"Wait, if this is a repeat scenario of What happened to Ruby, and it's happening to Weiss, then..." Blake trailed off her speech for a moment, and everyone realized what was about to happen next.

"Oh no." Weiss grimaced, glad she wasn't there right now.

"Weiss is really likes jewels and diamonds." Ruby stated.

"Well, guess there is only one thing to do now." Zack said as he reached for something in his bag.

"Zack. You are not actually going to do it?" Anna said feeling sorry for Weiss.

"Time for the stink serum." Zack said pulling out the bottle.

"ZACK! NOOOOOOO!" Ruby screamed as she tried to prevent him from opening it.

It was too late. Zack opened the bottle and the stench came out and assaulted Ruby's nose. The smell was immediately detected by Weiss' nose as she was revolted from what she was smelling.

"MY OUM! WHAT IS THAT STENCH?!" Weiss yelled, as her face turned green.

"Just some onions, garlic, stinky cheese, durian parts and an egg shell." Zack explained.

After hearing what Zack said, Ruby and Weiss rushed into a nearby ally, lost whatever they had in their stomachs. After that, an angered Weiss came back and tackled Zack at full force knocking him down.

"Ouch." The students of Beacon responded in seeing this.

"If someone ever does that to us..." Weiss said to Ruby.

"Say no more." Ruby brought her fist up to Weiss as they fist bumped.

"HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME SMELL SOMETHING SO REVOLTING! I SHOULD HAVE YOU PUNISHED FOR THIS!" Weiss yelled pointing Myrtenaster at him.

"Hey, it's not my fault that Jewel city is famous for its diamond like diamonds, and it's mines of rare metals!" Zack yelled.

"Wait. What was that last part?" Weiss asked with curiosity.

"Jewel city is famous for its mines of rare metals, such as diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and local accessories."

"Tell me more." Weiss said calmly.

As they walked back to Anna house, Zack told Weiss and Ruby all there was to know about Jewel City. Weiss was taking notes, while Ruby was still a little sick from stink serum. Anna looked at them and smiled seeing Weiss getting along with Zack. She then looked at the RWBY soul cards, knowing that there were two more out there, but had a feeling that she would find them. She had high hopes for the future.

Except for Victoria's cooking scenario, as she was at home wrapped up in a giant pancake. It still tasted good.

Everyone sweat dropped at the last part. "Seriously?" Ironwood asked.

End of Chapter 2

"Well, Winter, what do you think?" Kai asked.

"I'll admit the premise does interest me by a margin." Winter answered. "I'll see what else this story has to offer." She declared.

"Good to hear, now before I continue, I'll bring in some new people, and believe me, I have a good reason for bringing these people in." Kai said as he snapped his fingers as four more people suddenly appeared in the room... or should I say, Faunus.

"MOM, DAD, ILIA!" Blake exclaimed.

"Sienna?" Ironwood added in shock.

"Ironwood?" Sienna scowled.

"Blake?" Kali and Ghira Belladonna said loudly.

"NORA!" Nora chimed in.

...

And that's another long awaited update crossed off the list.

Sorry for the long wait people, I would have uploaded this for your reading pleasure last night, but something... ruined the magic, if you will.

Now, before I get around to updating my variant of "Watching Remnant's Phantom Thieves", there are four things that need to be done by me concerning my other fanfics.

I've got to downgrade the premise behind "The Omegas: RWBY and JNPR", remake the first chapter for "The Fallen Dragon's Flight", update "Yang's Pokemon Adventure: Sword and Shield" with another chapter, and more importantly...

Scrap the "The Cards Born in the Stars" fanfic and make something new out of it, something I'll try yo be more active in.
