Disclaimer: I, OWN, NOTHING!

...

"And that's covers just about everything on the basics." Yang awkwardly said as she looked at her father, who had a dumbstruck expression on his face processing all the info he just had dumped on him.

"A dimension, where you guys are classified as 'duel monsters', and your fighting Grimm in another world connected to another version of this world, with a card game off all methods." Taiyang summarized it the best he could.

"Yep, and it's a whole lot more impressive than it sounds at first." Sienna told him.

"She's not lying, I was actually quite impressed by the strategies displayed in this other world." Winter told him.

Tai looked at Sienna, and then Winter, then back to his daughters and Qrow, his daughters having a slightly pleading look on their faces, practically begging him to go along with it, which made him sigh in the end.

"Alright, if you two are fine with this, I'll go along with it then." Tai told them.

"YES!" Ruby and Yang cheered while hugging him.

"You're not going to regret this, Tai, I can assure you of that." Kai told him as everyone retook their seats and Kai snapped his fingers, causing the screen to light up.

(Unknown Grimm Lair)

Nothing has change much from the last time we visited this place. The humanoid Grimm were just doing normal Grimm things when not killing humans. Ursas were arm wrestling, Nevermores were delivering messages, and the Beowolfs were arguing who would break the bad news to the Liege.

"Huh, are these the Grimm of this world?" Tai wondered.

"Yep, pretty much." Qrow answered.

"Trust us, you're in for a wild ride." Weiss told him.

"Alright then." Tai said.

"You tell him." Beowolf 1 spoke.

"No you tell him." Beowolf 2 said, pushing the first Beowolf.

"We'll draw straws." Beowolf 3 said, holding up 2 long straws and a short one.

"Man, they REALLY don't want to get on this guy's bad side." Mercury commented.

"You think?" Yang asked.

The Beowolfs than drew straws from a cup, and the one who got the short end of the straw was Beowolf 2. He then looked down as he realized that he might feel the Liege's wrath as he had a bad morning already, because some wolves ate all the meat last night. All non-vegetarian grimm went hungry that night. Beowolf 2 walked into the corridors, and there was nothing but silence at first. And then there was a scream of agony as Beowolf two was sent flying out of the doors. The other Beowolfs looked in the hallway to find the liege standing on his feet and in a karate like punching pose.

"What are you looking at?" Liege asked, in an unpleasant mood.

"Nothing!" Both Beowolfs yelled as they then booked it for the nearest exit.

The Liege went back to his throne and sat down, annoyed of how the battle was turning out.

"Whoever this Anna Yuno is, she may be the most dangerous adversary we have ever faced yet! The ultimate hindrance to our mission!" Liege spoke under his breath.

"I always knew that Grimm could learn a thing or two about the enemies they faced, but never to this extent." Tai commented.

"Yeah, it's almost amazing how the differences between this worlds Grimm and ours are so vast." James said.

(Road to Neon High School)

Anna Yuno was in a sleepy mood and she yawned, as she was currently on her way to school with Zack. She normally doesn't feel this tired. But when you fight evil forces from another dimension, it's bound to take a toll on your body. Ruby, Weiss and Blake followed. Ruby was disappointed that she had to follow Anna to school, even though she didn't had to attend classes. Weiss was glad that they would be educated about Anna and Zack's dimension. Blake was just ok with it, as she was reading her book.

"Gee Anna. You sure look worn out. Think you can stay up in class?" Zack asked.

"Don't worry Zack. I'm just not use to fighting evil beings on a daily basis. I still can't believe you girls take classes on how to kill monsters." Anna said.

"And a school that teaches you how to play a singular card game isn't?" Blake commented.

"Says the girl who lives in a dimension, which has schools that teach people how to play pro at a card game." Weiss replied back.

"Touché. Anyway, what's wrong with you Ruby? You don't look so happy." Anna asked.

"I just didn't think we would have to go to another school when coming to a different dimension. Plus, there isn't a training session for fighting Grimm here." Ruby complained.

"Man that sounds like a boring school quite frankly." Ruby groaned.

"Well, to be fair, they don't have to worry about monsters attacking them everyday." Jaune told her, making Ruby pout at the good reason for why that school is what it is.

"It's not like you have to attend the class. I mean, only Zack, me, and Victoria can see you guys." Anna replied.

"Weiss suggested that we pay attention in your class, and that she was going to make me." Ruby said, glaring at Weiss.

"I think it is important to learn more about Anna's world, and we do need to be educated. I also have doubts that you two can explain everything there is in the world." Weiss stated, slightly offending Zack.

"Hey! That statement is highly, correct now that I think about it." Zack said, as Weiss smiled that she won the argument so easily.

"Yeah, I highly doubt that those two could pull off such a feat, especially Zack." Weiss muttered.

"So, when you guys are done with school, will we go look for Yang?" Blake asked, still reading her book.

Anna and Zack looked at each other. It wasn't like they would be able to look for their last remaining friend at any given time. They had school work, tests and books to read. As much as they want to help their new friends, they also had personal things in their lives they just can't ignore.

"Look guys. I know we said we would help you, but Zack and I have things to do in our lives that just can't be ignored. So depending on how much work we have, we'll have to wait for a week before finding your final friend." Anna said.

"Ah man, don't tell me we have to watch some sort of montage of them doing boring stuff while I'm at risk of being captured." Yang groaned.

"Somehow I kinda doubt that." Tai commented.

Ruby, Weiss and Blake looked at each other. Ruby was worried that they might have to wait a week or more to find her sister. Weiss knew that Anna and Zack were helping them, and that they had no right to force them to do whatever they wanted. Blake gave Ruby glances that told her to respect Anna and Zack's decisions.

"Alright guys, we understand. I'm just worried about Yang." Ruby said, trying to put on a smile.

"I not sure if we should worry about her. You do know what she is capable of." Weiss said.

"But she is going to be tiny like us." Blake stated.

"As if that is going to stop her from picking a fight with the enemy." Weiss argued back.

"Yeah, that sounds like Yang all right." Ruby agreed with what on-screen Weiss just said.

"Mmhm." Everyone from Beacon except Yang nodded in agreement.

After that statement, RWB started to worry less, knowing what their last teammate was capable of. Ruby had a spark of hope knowing that Yang can handle herself pretty well. Weiss was now worried about what will happen when they find her. Blake was concerned about finding her partner, and what crazy things she might have done within the past 3 days.

"Yeah, who knows what kinda trouble she's gotten into in the past three days." Ren said with slight worry.

"Don't worry girls. We'll find her. And when we do, I guess we can kick off your mission with a Yang!" Zack punned.

Everyone who wasn't a fan of puns groaned at that. "Are you fricking kidding me right now." Jaune muttered under his breath.

"He's a pun maker too?" Emerald asked sorrowfully.

"HE'S A PUN MAKER TOO?!" Yang and Tai shouted with excitement.

At this moment, Ruby, Weiss and Blake groaned while Anna just stared at her friend.

Anna was very annoyed by this. She has been friends with Zack for a long time, and she deeply cares about him. She just can't stand him and his puns. The first couple of times were funny, but after that, it just kept on getting repetitive to a point where she just gets tired of hearing them. She does admit a play on words is cool, but doesn't want to hear it over and over again. She got used to hearing puns on a daily basis, but it didn't stop her from giving Zack the evil eye.

"Come on Zack. Let's get to class." Anna said annoyed as she dragged Zack by his school uniform collar.

Weiss at first was just annoyed of the puns that Zack tries to make from time to time. She then realized something that made her dread with horror.

"Wait! I just realized something. If Zack meets Yang, and if one them says one of those awful puns, then that means…" Weiss said.

"We would have two people that would make puns together non-stop." Blake finished with dread, as Yang was known for her horrible puns.

She tried to forget that stage night that featured Yang.

Team RWB and JNPR, who were closest to Yang, went pale white at the sound of that last line. "Oh gods above, have mercy on all of creation." Pyrrha prayed.

"I think I'd rather fight an army's worth of Grimm instead of going through that." Jaune said, still pale.

"I'd rather get zapped by electricity without my semblance!" Nora exclaimed.

"OH COME ON, my puns aren't that bad." Yang complained before pouting.

"Yang, your puns are so bad, they're the equivalent of an old woman spitting on a puppy." Weiss told her, shuddering at the thought.

"ANYTHING BUT THAT! HIS PUNS ARE JUST AS WORST AS YANG'S!" Ruby screamed holding her hand to her head.

"SERIOUSLY!" Yang shouted.

"Don't think you're safe from this either, dad jokes." Sun said, pointing at Tai.

"What, my jokes are funny." Tai shot at the monkey Faunus.

"No they're not." Neptune, Qrow, and Ren fired back at him.

(5th period chemistry class)

Anna and Zack were at their station working on a lab, of creating the shown chemical on the board with the items that they were given. RWB meanwhile were looking around the room examining it.

"So you have a plan on finding Yang? Flask please." Zack asked.

"Well, considering all the work that is due tomorrow, I have my doubts that we'll have the time to look for this Yang person. I mean, we can't just ditch school, no matter how badly we need to look for her. Pass me the tongs please. Anna replied, now handing the Bunsen burner.

"Not gonna lie, that's pretty sound logic, considering they're working in the shadows." Qrow commented.

In the background Ruby was walking around a chemical set that is on the table (she's chibi, so she can walk on the table), and then accidentally knocked over a flask with her arm, causing the contents to spill on the table. She then began to look around frantically, and quickly grab a pile of towels, wiping up the mess.

Everyone deadpanned as they looked to Ruby in disappointment. "What, it's not like I wanted that to happen." Ruby defended herself.

"There is also the problem that the Grim don't have any kind of exploration limits, so they can get ahead of us when they can. So we have to manage our time well." Anna also said.

"You sure you can do that? I mean you have a lot to juggle with school work, your dream of becoming a pro-duelist and taking care of your sister. With team RWBY in the mix, it might be harder. Measuring cup please." Zack replied.

Ruby, who was trying to act casually in the background, begins to notice that the chemicals she spilled were highly acidic, as it ate its way into the table. Ruby then begins to panic. Weiss, who was examining a chemistry book, looking at the periodic table, takes notices of this. She then stormed over to where Ruby was and begins to scold her of her mistake.

"I'm trying to focus on their chat, but how are they not noticing what's going DIRECTLY BEHIND THEM!" Sun exclaimed.

"Maybe everything that's happening behind them is so quiet and what their doing is so loud and closer by comparison, they can't hear it?" Cinder theorized.

"To tell you the truth Zack, I not sure if I'm suited to be team RWBY's duelist. Don't get me wrong but, I don't know if I'm capable of standing high and mighty next to team RWBY. The reason why they are with us in the first place, is because we were the first duelist that they came across with. Samples please." Anna said, as she wonder if she was good enough for team RWBY.

"What she's a great duelist for our team." Ruby said, as if she were trying to cheer Anna up herself.

"Yeah, the fact that she was able to adapt to using our cards in her deck is evident to that." Blake added.

"You aren't wrong about that." Winter agreed.

"I wouldn't worry too much about it Anna. You should just let things goes of how they should. You are such a worry bird." Zack replied.

Weiss was finished scolding Ruby, but as she walks away, she slips on some water, and almost falls into the hole. Ruby caught her in the nick of time. Weiss was yelling at Ruby furiously not to let go, since at the bottom of the hole were a whole bunch of Bunsen burners that were recently used. Ruby was trying to lift Weiss up, which wouldn't be much of a problem, if the table wasn't covered in water.

"Oh no." Winter said, afraid of her sister's on-screen counterpart's safety.

"I am not a worry bird Zack!" Anna said offended of what Zack said.

"You literally freaked out this morning thinking that the 1st period test was today, when it was actually tomorrow. You started muttering to yourself, and curled up in the corner." Zack said, embarrassed having to mention that.

"Seriously?" Mercury wondered.

"Tests are important Zack." Anna retorted.

"What about last night? You thought that you left your wallet back at the train yard that you screamed so loud, that you almost scarred the living soul out of Ruby." Zack asked.

Anna did remembered that moment. She literally went ballistic, scarring Ruby so hard that she fainted. It wasn't till long until Zack came along and explained to Anna that it was in her jacket pocket the entire time. He then explained to Weiss and Blake that Anna had a tendency to overreact at times, due to the amount of stress she has. A scolding from Weiss then followed.

"Wow, really, just a scream that loud and you're out for the count?" Mercury asked jokingly.

Ruby stared at the screen for a moment and sighed. "At least we didn't have to see it on the screen." Ruby muttered.

"Yeah, for all we know and from what I've seen of you, it might've end up happening to you as well." Ilia commented.

"And render some Faunus deaf for a second or two." Blake added.

"I guess you're right. I'm just a little stressed out trying to accomplish everything that I need to do." Anna hesitantly admitted.

In the background, Ruby just pulled Weiss out of the hole and they were taking a breather. Ruby then realized that they could of hover in the air since they were half spirit in this world. Weiss looked away as she just realized it too. Blake then came over to ask what was going on, only to accidently slip on the water knocking down another flask in the hole. The three chibi girls then looked down into the hole, not knowing what was going to happen.

"This can only end so well." James muttered, knowing that the combination of chemicals and how the scene is portrayed is bound to do something bad, at least.

"You just need to know when to take it easy. Oh by the way, I picked this up today." Zack said, holding up a new card.

"Wait. This looks like a Huntress support card. Where did you get it?" Anna asked surprised.

"I found it while we were leaving the train yard." Zack said, remembering himself picking up the card.

"Wait, as in... a card meant to support US?!" Yang exclaimed.

"That sounds awesome and effective at the same time." Ruby commented.

"I wonder what it does." Blake and Weiss thought to themselves.

"Gee, thanks Zack. You know. I think I would go insane without you." Anna said smiling at Zack.

"Don't mention it Anna. By the way, we have a test next period." Zack said.

"WHAT! I DIDN'T KNOW!" Anna yelled.

The Faunus with enhanced hearing flinched hearing that while covering their ears, as did everyone else to a lesser extent. "Damn, she really does freak out easily." Sienna let out.

"It would seem so." Kali said.

"Just, Kidding." Zack said slyly.

Anna just glared at Zack, but shrugged it off. She does admit the fact that she is over reactive at times, when it comes to certain tasks. Luckily, these traits don't show when she is dueling. Just then the fire alarm rang. Anna and Zack quickly turned their heads around to see a huge massive pillar of fire shooting right up from the table behind them. After evacuating the school grounds, the principal made the announcement that the school would be closed for two days. Anna and Zack looked at each other, and realized how convenient it was that this fire was going to start their search back up again.

Everyone deadpanned at the scene that happened and all the events that causes it too. "And of course it causes a pillar of fire to start right behind them." Glynda muttered in disappointment.

"Because why not with a storyline this cartoonish." Qrow muttered.

"Well, might as well start our search again." Zack said

"Yeah I guess. I wonder what started that fire though." Anna said as she went to get her stuff.

As Anna went to get their stuff, Zack turned his attention towards the three chibi girls who were acting like nothing ever happened.

"Did you three see anything?" Zack asked.

"NO!" all three of them replied.

"Okay." Zack replied, being completely oblivious of who had done it.

The majority of the cast facepalmed at Zack's obliviousness to the on-screen RWB's clear nervousness. "What a dunce." Weiss and Winter muttered together.

"This stays between the three of us." Ruby said quietly, as Weiss and Blake agreed.

(Same evil lair again)

The Liege was on his throne, and he was searching through the holographic card database, trying to figure out which deck to use. The one thing he knows for certain is that Anna Yuno used Synchro monsters. However, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any Synchro cards on the database. Then, a Beowolf came in delivering the Liege's daily lunch: The Despair bento.

Everyone watching was confused by two things.

One: The Liege Grimm was eating what could only be described as a Grimm version of human food.

Two: He, for some reason, wasn't finding synchro in the database of every Duel Monsters on the planet.

"That's certainly weird." Ren commented

"The food he's eating, or the cards he's looking for?" Nora asked.

"Both." Ren, Jaune, and Pyrrha answered the question at the same time.

"I don't get it. This is supposed to be the advance tech that tells us about all the cards that I need to build a deck. But yet, I don't see any Synchro monsters. Something smells fishy, and it isn't the fish in my lunch." Liege spoke as he ate his fish.

"Well, Grimm are known for... eating people." Emerald said nervously.

"That's true, I guess sustenence of such variety isn't out of the realm of possibility." Ozpin said.

The Beowolf then noticed something about the modem.

"Uh, sir. I think this is an outdated piece of hardware." The Beowolf spoke.

"What did you say?" Liege asked.

"Apparently, the Crawler mechanic here accidently installed a past file of previous duel cards. This isn't updated with extra deck monsters." Beowolf spoke.

"Wait a minute." Qrow said suddenly. "The Grimm have been giving Anna and team RWBY a run for their Lien, and that was when they were using what could easily be classified, AS COMPLETELY OUTDATED DECKS?!" Qrow shouted.

Everyone realized that because of the technicalities of this discovery, that Anna and RWBY been getting off easily when it came to fighting the Grimm with dueling. "I don't know whether I should be impressed at the fact that they're able to work with such outdated decks or the fearful of what they're going to do now that they're going to get some updates." Yang said.

"I'd say the latter." Cinder answered.

"Yeah, the fact that they were using outdated and handicapped decks means that they'll be even more tougher with the updated hardware." Emerald said, as everyone agreed with her.

The Liege was furious at this. The entire time, he has been building decks, without adding in extra deck monsters, all just because some Crawler got an incomplete dueling terminal drive. He then calmed down a bit, and decided to execute the Crawler later. The Beowolf then updated the terminal as it then booted up, giving the Liege access to all the new cards he can use in his decks. When he brought up the screen, something caught his eye.

"XYZ? This sounds interesting. You there! Bring me Grand Kuma. He has a new assignment today." The Liege spoke.

"XYZ?" Ironwood repeated.

"Is that a summoning mechanic of some variety for the extra deck?" Glynda asked.

"You guessed right, but why spoil the surprise." Kai answered while winking.

The Beowolf nodded and went out to retrieve Grand Kuma. The Liege now had access to a hold new selection of cards, and was ready to use them on Anna Yuno. The doors then blew open as a gust of wind blew through the corridors of the throne room.

"Grand Kuma Reporting for duty." The figure in the doorway said.

"He sounded strong." Oscar gulped.

"I wonder what kinda deck he's going to use." Nora said.

(Down Town Area of Jewel City at Night)

It was night time, and a lot of people were home, relaxing in their chairs and doing what they want. Anna, Zack and RWB weren't doing that. They were instead walking for several hours, following the signal to where the final member of team RWBY was. Anna and Zack were tired after walking so much. Blake didn't mind as it gave her time to read her book. Weiss was annoyed that it was taking so long. And Ruby had been waiting so long, that she immediately lost all of her patience.

"I'M BORED! Entertain me." Ruby said, to Anna and Zack, knowing she would get a "no" from Weiss, and that Blake was invested in her reading.

"That sounds about right." Weiss sweatdropped.

"Totally, and sadly." Blake agreed.

"Not now Ruby, I need to focus." Anna replied, as she sounded annoyed with the fact that she had Ruby pestering her all day and that they weren't at their location yet.

"Entertain me Zack." Ruby said, with a face that said she wanted to do something.

Zack looked at Ruby, and then at Weiss. Weiss face told Zack that she wasn't helping him at all, and that he was on his own for this. Zack looked at Ruby, who looked extremely eager for him to do something. It felt like he was dealing with a five year old who was bored after the first five minutes. He quickly looked around to see if there was anything to do. He would show his hero deck to Ruby, but he really didn't want to show her an incomplete deck. He then began sweating nervously as Ruby's cute face made it even more stressful for Zack as he started sweating like crazy. He literally wished he could be as cold as the ice queen. Just as he was about break under the cute intensity of Ruby's boredom, Anna then said something.

"Guys! We are getting closer to the signal! That means that our journey is over! (Finally)" . Anna said and thought as she was just exhausted from walking and waiting.

"Yes, that means that team RWBY is finally almost complete." Ruby cheered.

"That's good, that means they'll be able to fight the Grimm at maximum proficiency." James commented.

"Indeed, but I feel like there's going to be a catch to this." Glynda couldn't help but say.

"That's great Anna, I'll go right ahead to get a head start and scout ahead." Zack said as he yanked the radar out of Anna's hands and then heads towards the signal.

Anna was confused on why Zack was making a run for it, but she didn't cared as she was about to meet the fourth member of team RWBY. She then followed Zack, and she remembered the coordinates exactly so she knew where to go. When she and RWB got there, they saw Zack looking up with a disappointed look on his face.

Everyone wondered what the problem that Zack was facing could be.

"Hey Zack what's…stopping…you." Anna said as she looked up as well, as her face turned to that of annoyance.

Apparently they the place that Yang was located was at the "Miner's Night Gem Club", and the sign clearly stated that those that are under the ages of 18, cannot enter. At this point, Anna was about to blow a fuse that she walked all the way from school, with a heavy backpack on her back, for hours, and with an energetic Ruby that kept bugging her.

"YANG!" Tai shouted at his oldest daughter, his parental instincts kicking in.

"Hey, it's not me." Yang defended.

"Don't bother trying to deny it, firecracker, you'd totally do something like this, especially because no normal person can see you." Qrow told her.

"That doesn't change the fact that it-" Yang was interrupted by the viewing continuing.

"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! WE WALKED ALL THE WAY FROM SCHOOL FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IT TOOK, AND NOW OUT OF ALL THE PLACES WE HAD TO GO TO, IT HAD TO BE A NIGHTCLUB!" Anna shouted with anger as some people stared at her. Ruby, Weiss and Blake were taken back of how Anna, the happy-go girl, was going on a rant.

Everyone was taken aback by the screaming. "Damn, this girl has been patient." Mercury said, shocked by how crazy Anna was acting now that the weight of the circumstances were shown to her.

"Is Anna okay Zack?" Weiss asked, staring at a really peeved Anna.

"Oh, don't worry. This is what I like to call, Crazy Anna. Usually, Anna doesn't get mad that easily, but push her buttons and pull the right switches, and then she might burst. I like say there are five different levels of Crazy Anna. This is level 3, the stage where she goes on non-stop ranting. Levels 1 and 2 are mild annoyance." Zack explained.

"What's going to happen now?" Glynda asked, wondering how they were going to get to Yang and calm Anna down.

"So, what do we do now?" Blake asked.

"I got this. So sit back and just watch." Zack said as he then started walking towards Anna.

"I'm pretty sure the only thing that could calm her down is a slap in the face, quite frankly." Nora commented.

Ruby, Weiss and Blake were curious of what Zack was going to do, when she got to Anna, who was still rambling. When Zack got to Anna, RWB was highly surprised and shocked of what he did next.

"SNAP OUT OF IT, ANNA!" Zack yelled, as he then slapped Anna across the face.

Everyone was shocked at what Zack did as well as the one he had slapped was his friend, and Nora...

"I WAS KIDDING!" Nora shouted.

"How DARE he do something to his own friend!" Glynda snapped.

"Well, you have to say the kid's got balls." Qrow commented.

"But still, that's his friend he just slapped across the face." Tai said.

Ruby was shocked that a boy would actually hit a girl across the face like that. Weiss took it as an offensive act against women as she had a face as if someone was mocking her. Blake just couldn't believe that Zack would do something like that to his friend. Ruby was shocked, as she was told nice men shouldn't hit ladies. At this point, Ruby, Weiss and Blake could all agree that these two kids were weird in certain aspects.

"Gee Zack. Did you really had to hit that hard?" Anna asked rubbing her face.

"It's something called tough love. You feeling better now?" Zack asked.

"Yeah. Thanks, I guess." Anna replied.

"See, the kid's fine." Qrow told them.

"This is a weird world, and not just because of the fact that it's focusing around a card game." Emerald said.

Anna and Zack then went back over to Ruby, Weiss and Blake, who were still stun of what Zack did. They then proceed to tackle Zack for his actions. Anna was surprised of how Zack was getting subdued by three chibi girls.

"You should be ashamed of yourself, mister!" Weiss yelled pulling on Zack's ears.

"What kind of person hits their own friends!?" Blake yelled as she had his arms tied up with Gambol Shroud.

"You will be judged for your crimes!" Ruby yelled angrily, wielding her Crescent Rose.

"All you need to do now is say "off with the head" and you're all set." Cinder muttered before chuckling lightly.

Anna had to stop the three girls before Zack got punished. She explained to them that she asked Zack to do that to her every time she goes into her crazy states. It's become a normal routine for Anna and Zack: Anna goes crazy, and Zack slaps her back to reality. RWB just sweat dropped and thought that their relationship was a weird, but yet touching at the same time, of how these two kids look out for each other.

"So what do we do now? It's clear that we can't go into that building. You two don't have the clearance to enter." Blake said directing her attention towards the Anna and Zack.

"Yeah, you have to be at least 18 years of age to go into one of those." Glynda confirmed.

"I know. Why don't we just call Victoria? She's nineteen." Zack exclaimed.

"There, problem solved." Jaune said cheerfully.

"Somehow, I don't feel like it's going to be as simple as that." Weiss said, doubting that things would be that easy.

"Yeah! I bet she would be eager to help us." Ruby said, in agreement with Zack.

"Guys. We can't just call my sister for everything." Anna said, with her hand on her head.

"Why not? It makes perfect sense that your sister would help you in a time like this, considering her personality." Weiss asked, confused.

"My sister may care about me, but she also has a whole bunch to deal with. She is super busy most of time. You ever wonder why I usually do all the chores? It is because Victoria is busy studying most of the time. Also, something happened the last time I bother her during a study session." Anna said, as a chill ran through her spine.

"Huh?" Weiss said in response to Anna's visible fear.

"What happened?" Ruby asked.

"I don't want to talk about it." Anna replied, as she was having a bad flashback.

"It was that bad?" Ozpin wondered what it could be.

"Maybe she yelled at her in a nightmarish fashion and scarred Anna for life?" Nora theorized.

"That sounds really crazy, but considering what we've seen..." Emerald said until Cinder cut in.

"That might actually have happened." She said sweatdropping.

"I wonder what happened between Anna and her sister." Weiss asked.

"I think it's best to just leave it at that." Blake responded, but still curious about what happened.

After having her bad flashback. Anna proceeded to just stare off into space for a few moments, and then went back on track.

"Either way, I can't call Victoria, because I have no idea what she is doing, and it's not like she is going to show up anytime…" Anna said until.

"Hi Anna." Victoria said as she was seen in the ally.

"What the?" Winter responded at the woman's impeccable timing.

"And they might be one step closer to getting team RWBY back together." Blake said.

"Your sister is quite convenient Anna." Weiss said.

"Victoria! What are you doing here?" Anna asked as she was surprised.

"I was in downtown district getting takeout for us. I should be asking you why you are in front of Nightclub. You weren't planning on sneaking in, are you?" Victoria asked with a dangerous glare in her eye.

Mercury flinched at the sight of the glare, as did most people in the room. "Huh?" Mercury muttered.

The glare send chills down RWB and Zack's spines, as they felt strong energy radiating off of Victoria. Anna was stuttering, until she finally got her words out. Her sister may care about her, but that won't stop her from punishing her dearly.

Most of the people in the room went blue in the face at the sight of Victoria looking like she was going to break someone's skull apart. "Damn, she is scary." Yang said.

"Agreed." the students of Beacon nodded in agreement.

"No! It's not like that! Ruby's final teammate is in the Nightclub!" Anna explained as she does not want to feel the wrath of Victoria.

"Oh. I see now. I suppose you five need my help? Am I correct?" Victoria asked, as she reverted back to her friendly calm personality.

"It's almost amazing how quickly she's able to change moods like that." Glynda said, slightly recovering from the sight of Victoria's scary side.

"She's almost like Yang when she loses a strand of her hair." Ruby commented.

"Agreed." Weiss, Blake, JNPR, and Qrow said in agreement.

Everyone just nodded. RWB and Zack just witness a portion of the Victoria's menacing side. Anna however got the full course at some point in the past. Ruby then gave Victoria a description of what Yang looked like, and Victoria proceed to the door, and showed her ID to the bouncer. And with that Victoria, was in the club, leaving everyone else outside. Everyone didn't know what was going to happen so they waited outside.

"So what's Yang like?" Zack asked.

"She is one of the coolest sisters ever. No offense Anna." Ruby said.

"Yeah, that describes how I think of you as well." Ruby said, looking at Yang.

"Awwww, thanks Ruby." Yang responded before giving her half-sister a hug.

"None taken. Wait. She's your sister?" Anna said, a little surprised at the last part.

"Yeah, it's pretty weird knowing that you two are sisters, what with the different hair and eye colors." Pyrrha admitted.

"That is pretty deceptive from a certain standpoint." James added.

"Yang is an efficient teammate, and she has my deepest respect. Although she is quite reckless in my opinion." Weiss said.

"In a way, you could say that she is the one that looks out for the team. Just a quick warning, don't touch her hair." Blake said.

"Yeah, that sums you up pretty effectively from what I've seen." Cinder said, completely ignoring the look she was getting from Yang.

Ruby, Weiss and Blake described Yang as a very lively person, being straightforward and confident. She was a fun, humorous, but yet mature at the same time. She solves most of her problems with her fights with her fists. The way Yang was describe to Anna and Zack sounded like she was a nice girl hang around with. They also didn't want to get on her bad side, after hearing what one little strand of hair could do.

"As fun as she sounds. I just can't believe she'll go berserk over a strand of hair. I may be a girl, but hair is just hair." Anna said.

"Wow! I would like to meet this Yang. She sounds so fun. I wonder if she likes puns." Zack said, as he didn't know how right he was.

"Oh, you have no idea." Most people in the room thought.

"Oh man, you have no idea." Yang said with a smile.

Ruby, Weiss, and Blake made it their top social priority to make sure that Yang and Zack don't pun next to each other.

Yang put on a grumpy expression as she turned to her teammates and friends, who looked back at her with blank looks of their own. "Sorry sis, but even I can't defend you here." Ruby told her.

"Yeah, your puns are bad, it's practically a scientific fact." Weiss said looking away from her.

Yang grumbled something under her breath, but Blake could hear "Traitors." come out of Yang's mouth.

Several minutes had pass and nothing has happened, and Ruby was bored again.

"Uuuuuuggggghhhhhh! There is nothing to do!" Ruby screamed.

"Weiss, can you do something about this? You did live with her for a school year." Zack asked.

"My method is that you pretend she doesn't exist." Weiss replied.

"HEY!" Ruby snapped at her partner. "I'm not that bad." Ruby pouted.

"Surely, she can't be that annoying a person to be around?" Winter said.

"You haven't been around her as much as I have, sister." Weiss told her.

"You can be somewhat... buggy... to be around, is a way to put it." Blake said.

Ruby got angry, but knew it wouldn't solve anything, so she huffed and sat back down.

"That's cold Weiss! Anna, Zack! Don't you know anything else about Duel Monsters?" Ruby asked, desperate for something else to happen.

Anna and Zack thought of what to do to entertain Ruby. They then looked at each other and immediately got the lightbulb.

"Well, as a matter of fact, this is bound to catch your attention. Have you ever heard of XYZ summoning?" Zack said, getting the attention of Ruby.

Whatever negative energy there might have been in the room disappeared instantly at that question. "Isn't that the summoning method thing the Grimm mentioned." Neptune asked.

"Yeah, what a coincidence." Qrow said.

"What's that?" Ruby asked.

"It's…" Zack was about to say, until an explosion was heard from the Nightclub.

Everyone turned their heads toward the explosion. It was coming from the Nightclub. People were running out of the building screaming. A couple pieces of furniture were flying out of the windows as well. Anna then decided to ask a passerby of what was going on.

"Um, you mind telling me what is happening." Anna asked the stranger.

"It's chaos in there! Some crazy black creature just came in there, and is attacking the place. Not to mention there is some blonde fighting in there." The stranger said.

"A blonde?" Zack replied.

"Oh no..." Kali muttered.

"A human from this world doesn't stand a chance against a Grimm in normal combat." Ghira grimaced.

"Call me crazy. But for an instance, when I looked back, I swear I saw a small yellow flame flying around it. I'm out of here!" The stranger said as he booked it for the nearest taxi.

"That must have been Yang." Jaune exclaimed.

Anna and Zack knew that the blond would have to Victoria, and that the black beast must be a Grimm, but they were confused about the small yellow flame. RWB might have a good idea who that small yellow flame might be.

"You don't think…" Ruby said, as her question was answered when the upper window burst open.

"AAAAWWWWWWW YYYEEEAAAHHHHH!" A female voice yelled from above.

"TTTTHHHHHIIISSSSSS IIIISSSSS TTTTTTOOOOOO IIINNTTTEEENSE!" Victoria yelled from above, as she was scared for her life.

Everyone looked up to see a 19 year old blonde girl and a blonde Chibi girl, jumping out of an upper window as an explosion was seen in the background. The two blonds then landed on the ground, with Yang doing a battle roll, while Victoria fell into a large crate of water.

"Nailed it." Yang said as she got up.

Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and team JNPR sweatdropped at what they just saw. "Of course that's how Yang makes her first on-screen appearance." Weiss said with a heavy sigh.

"It seems fitting though." Pyrrha commented smiling.

"A little too fitting if you ask me." Ren muttered.

"Talk about a bizarre first impression." Ghira awkwardly added.

"My first introduction with Ruby was more welcoming than that, and coincidentally, it also involved an explosion." Blake said.

"Hey, it was an accident." Ruby whined.

Anna and Zack got a better look at the small chibi. She was appeared to be a teenage girl (despite being chibi) with purple eyes, wearing a tan vest with gold piping over a yellow-cut crop top with a black crest that resembles a burning heart. The vest has puffy cap sleeves with black cuffs. She also wore a brown belt with a buckle, a pouch, and a small banner like object. She also wore black shorts under her belt, which resembles a pleated skirt in the back, with and orange scarf. Her foot wear, are brown knee-high platform boots, with orange socks of different length. What was noticeable were the two bracelets around her arms. She also had long blond hair, which is a bit messy, but beautiful in a way. Anna and Zack then realized that Victoria was still in the tub, and ran over to her. Ruby meanwhile was happy to see her sister immediately running up to her.

"Yang!" Ruby said, hugging her sister.

"Yes, team RWBY is back in action!" Nora cheered for the onscreen version of RWBY.

"Ruby! It's so good to see you again. But why are we so tiny?" Yang said, as she was relieved to see her sister.

"I think the better question is what in the world is going on in that club." Weiss said as she walked up to Yang.

"Weiss! No hello? Cold as ever." Yang said, smirking.

"Hey!" Weiss replied, slightly annoyed.

"I'm just kidding. It's good to see you too Weiss." Yang replied smiling.

"I guess it is nice to see you again." Weiss said turning her head, blushing a bit.

"Awwww, you do care." Yang teased Weiss.

Weiss was about to say something, but memories of how she let herself open up after the chapter that revolved around her flashed in her mind. Weiss sighed and looked at Yang. "Yeah, I do care, I guess, but you are my teammate, of course I'd care about you." Weiss admitted with a blush present on her face.

Yang was shocked at Weiss's response, as was the rest of team RWBY and Winter. "Okay, who are you, and what have you done with Weiss." Yang said, somewhat scared of how seriously she took the tease.

"Oh, quiet you!" Weiss snapped at her, before looking away, not noticing the faint smile present on her sister's face.

"Yeah. This team wouldn't be complete without you." Blake said walking up to Yang.

"Blake! You're here too! Ah man, it's so great to see all of you!" Yang said, putting her arms around Ruby, Weiss and Blake.

"Team RWBY is back together again!" Ruby yelled happily.

"Haha, glad they have a moment to appreciate that fact." Tai said smiling.

While team RWBY was having their reunion, Anna and Zack were busy pulling Victoria out of the water bucket.

"You okay Victoria?" Anna asked.

"Considering the fact I had to choose to fall face first on the concert, or fall into a bucket of water, I would say I'm pretty much fine and alive." Victoria said, trying to force a smile.

"So what in the blazes happened back in there that caused that explosion?" Zack asked.

"Well, here is what happened." Victoria said, beginning her play back.

(Several Minutes Ago)

When Victoria entered the club, the first thing she saw were people dancing on the dance floor, some of them were having drinking contests, and others were chatting. Looking for a card in this mess was like looking for a needle in a haystack. She also knew that this Yang person had to a spirit, so she had to be around here somewhere. Feeling a little thirsty she went to the bar and sat down, and just order some apple cider. The person on her left then nudged her in the arm. He was a man in his mid-20s, and Victoria immediately didn't like this guy.

"What's a pretty gal like you doing here?" The man asked smiling.

"Oh great, I know where this is going." Tai muttered.

"He'll be lucky to come out alive." Qrow said with his palm on his face.

"I suggest you watch your tongue, if you don't want to have to aching pain in your stomach for four days straight." Victoria said, analyzing the rude man.

"Subject shows no signs of backing down. Several others are around and looking at him. Possibly his friends. Fighting the entire group may be catastrophic for my health. The safest choice is to leave. If he grabs my arm…" Victoria thought in her head, as she got up.

"Whoa, so this is what a sober woman thinks during a situation like this." Qrow joked.

"Indeed, if she were even a little bit drunk, her thinking would be impaired and she wouldn't be this analytical." James commented.

"Now hold it girly." The man said about to grab Victoria's arm, dooming himself.

"…employ arm block. Twist him his arm, kick him in both legs to immobilize him, and then bring him around as a hostage." Victoria thought as she used her martial arts training to hold the guy by his arms and turned him around.

"Damn, for someone not able to fight Grimm, she's tough as nails." Sun commented on the display of martial arts.

"True that." Neptune agreed.

The rest of his groups noticed and then became hostile towards Victoria.

"I would suggest you tell your friends to stand down. I won't kill you, but I do know how to make a man cry like a little girl." Victoria said sinisterly, as her glasses flashed for intensity.

"YOU'RE CRAZY! Do what she says, guys!" The man spoke in fear.

"HAHA, man, this girl's good." Yang laughed at the sight of the guys starting to fear her.

The group hesitantly back down, as Victoria threw their boss towards them. She then proceeded to walk away. The group then saw their chance as they then rushed towards Victoria. She however knew if the obstacle preventing you from attacking was gone, you may charge. Little did Victoria know, from above the beams that supported the second floor, a small yellow figure was watching in amusement as she was about to enjoy the beat down.

"The group looks clumsy, and their formation is terrible. Threat level is considered to be a 0.5 out of 5. All charging in a single direction, and no one is trying to flank me." Victoria thought as she was unimpressed.

"Damn, talk about a low grade." Emerald joked, seeing the threat level that group of guys had been labeled with.

"Yeah, at least Cardin knows his way around his weapon." Jaune added with his head resting in his right hand.

"No running in the halls boys. You learned this in elementary school." Victoria said, as she took two large glasses of water and poured them in front of her, and then added soda to the mix.

Due to the lack of friction, the first goon slid on the water as the others constantly tripped over the first, causing a domino effect of the thugs slipping over each other. Victoria then jumped back to avoid getting caught in the mess. She then looked upon the defeated pile of men and proceeded to walk away, brushing her hands together. Considering that no one cares what goes on this bar, it was just an ordinary gang of men, getting beating by one girl. Victoria then proceeded to walk up to the boss of the group.

"Wow, she's smart using that combination of drinks to such an effect." Ozpin commented.

"She IS a college student, maybe she learned that in some type of science class." Glynda theorized.

"Look! I'm sorry. Just please don't hurt me!" The man screamed as he was scarred of Victoria now.

"Have you seen a card with a little yellow chibi with purple eyes on it?" Victoria asked directly.

"Wait. You beat us up, and your demand is asking if I saw card like that? The man said, a little shocked about her question.

"Just tell me, or else." Victoria said, as she gave off her menacing glare.

"You looking for me?" A female voice said from behind.

Victoria turned her head towards the voice. She then saw a small blonde chibi girl who appeared to seventeen, smiling at her. Knowing she was the only person that could see this spirit, she then decided to give out a signal to her.

"Looks like she found Yang." Weiss said, happy for the current circumstances.

"Yeah, but there's still the Grimm, which definitely had a part to play in that explosion." Jaune told her.

"I'm now going to go upstairs, by myself, and see if said card is there." Victoria said, looking at the small blond and winking at her.

"Uh, okay?" The man said, confused on what Victoria was doing.

The small blond, who Victoria knew was Yang, takes notice of the signs and then followed Victoria upstairs. The upstairs area was the quiet area, where people could just talk in peace and drink together. Victoria made sure no one was around and sat down with the yellow chibi in front of her.

"it's good she made sure no one was around, the last thing our counterparts needed was people thinking she was crazy or something." Pyrrha said with a sigh of relief.

"So, who might you be?" Victoria asked the blonde.

"I'm Yang Xiao Long. Pleasure to meet you. Also, I got to say I'm quite impress with the way how you took that entire gang of goons down with just couple glasses of water. Of course, I could have taken them all down by myself." Yang said.

"Cocky as ever, even with the size." Neptune joked.

"Oh please, I bet that even with that size, I could knock you across the room." Yang said sticking her nose up in the air.

"Well, thank you. I'm Victoria Yuno, and I suppose you have some questions for me." Victoria said, as she drank her apple cider.

"As a matter fact, I do. I want to know, why you know me, why I am so tiny, and why there is a picture of me on a card." Yang said, showing Victoria the RWBY-Soul: Yang Xiao Long card to Victoria.

"Well, let's just say I'm associated with your teammates." Victoria said, putting the card in her special card protector.

"You know my teammates! If so then tell me what makes them so special." Yang demanded, wanting to make sure she wasn't lying.

"One of them is cookie eater, the other is a cold Ice Queen, and the last one is a ninja cat." Victoria stated.

"That sounds about right. So how do you know them?" Yang asked.

Ruby smiled at how Yang was able to confirm that Victoria wasn't lying, while Blake was indifferent to it, While Weiss was pouting a little as she still didn't like that nickname. "Hey." Yang called for Weiss's attention. "Don't worry, remember, I said I was done with that name, remember." Yang told her.

Weiss smiled at her and nodded. "Right, gotcha." She said.

Before Victoria could answer, the booth door was broken down by a large dark figure. He was wearing a Black trench cloak, with black pants, and his head ornament was the head of an Ursa mouth, helmet. His skin was dark, he had sharp teeth, and his eyes glowed red. In an instant he brought down his fist smashing the table into pieces. Victoria was thrown back by this as she landed on her back. Yang was able to move out of the way in time. Everyone takes notice, of the gigantic monster rampaging in the room and started running away.

"I finally found you huntress!" The Grimm yelled.

"Hey! My friend and I were having a conversation buddy." Yang said as her hair flared up.

"YOU'RE HAIR IS ON FIRE!" Victoria screamed, with her eyes wide.

"Yep, and damn proud of it." The blonde smiled with her arms crossed.

Yang then ran towards the Grimm and starts punching it around with her Ember Celica, firing shots out of them. She couldn't hit it as hard as she normally could, since she was in chibi form, but she did manage to deal some damage towards the Grimm..

"Buzz off!" The Grimm yelled.

"You're the one who started it!" Yang said, as she then began throwing punches and shots at the Grimm.

"Well, at least I'm doing slightly better than you guys at least." Yang said, slightly mad at the fact that her other self's attacks were only agitating the Grimm at best.

"Shotgun gauntlets?" Victoria said, shocked at the development.

The Grimm was getting annoyed at the little yellow chibi, as she was beating him, and she even winked at one point.

RWB, Tai, Qrow looked to Yang with a raised eyebrow, wondering why she'd do that to a Grimm of all things. "Ummm... it's a way to make fun of the fact that I'm able to beat them?" Yang said slightly nervous that her demeanor in a fight earned her some weird looks.

"You've got to stay more focused on the fight, you know that, right?" Tai asked.

"Took the words right out of my mouth." Weiss said.

"That's it! I Grand Kuma, shall defeat you. Since you're not connected to your duelist yet, you're still up for grabs." Grand Kuma yelled.

"He's right! I may be an average duelist, but Anna is more in sync with the members of team RWBY, due to the fact she was the first one to come in contact with their leader. Yang may be strong, but her endurance won't last much longer. I have to get her to Anna, and fast." Victoria thought as she then looked for a way to get out.

The front exit was blocked, so they couldn't go out that way. She then saw the window, and thought it was a horrible idea. What other choices did she had?

"So it was a last ditch effort to make a break for it." Mercury said.

"Can't say that I blame her, if she's really not as good a duelist as Anna, then the only thing she COULD do is get to her, using any route possible." James explained.

"That would make most sense, as even in our world, a civilian would know to steer clear of any Grimm nearby." Ozpin stated.

"Yang! We need to jump!" Victoria yelled, as she picked up a fallen chair.

"What do you mean?" Yang asked, curious of what Victoria had in mind.

Victoria then threw the chair at the window breaking it. Yang saw this, and was surprised at first, but then she cracked a smiled as she knew what Victoria had in mind.

"I see what you mean. Let's do this!" Yang said, coming over to Victoria.

"Now, I have to see what's at the WWWHHHOOOOAAA!" Victoria said, as she was then pushed out the window by Yang.

"And not only did you go along with it, you literally dragged her into an idea that she came up with." Blake said with a neutral expression.

"Sounds like something only Yang would do." Tai muttered.

"Less thinking, more action!" Yang yelled, as she fired a shot at Grand Kuma causing an explosion.

"AAAAWWWWWWW YYYEEEAAAHHHHH!" Yang yelled with excitement.

"TTTTHHHHHIIISSSSSS IIIISSSSS TTTTTTOOOOOO IIINNTTTEEENSE!" Victoria yelled, as she was scared for her life.

Yang managed to stick the landing, as Victoria fell into a large crate of water.

"Nailed it." Yang said, standing back up.

(Present time)

"And that's what happened." Victoria said drying herself off.

"And now we're back to the present." Nora said.

"What's going to happen now?" Sun wondered.

Anna and Zack just stood in front of her with blank looks, after hearing all that Victoria has gone through.

"HUNTRESSES! YOU SHALL BE MINE!" Grand Kuma yelled from above.

Everyone turned their attention towards the second floor of the building. Grand Kuma stood in the broken window, with his clothes on fire. He was also really mad. He then jumped into the air, and came crashing down into the ground, causing a shock wave causing Anna, Zack and Victoria to be thrown back. Team RWBY then rushed over.

"Damn, that's some physical strength, wonder what kind of deck he uses?" Tai wondered.

Kai smirked. "Trust me, you and Yang are going to love the theming of it." Kai told them.

"Really?" Yang asked.

"You know it." Kai assured her.

"You okay Anna?" Ruby said, as Weiss helped her up.

"Yeah, just give me a moment." Anna replied.

"Stay with me Zack." Blake said, helping Zack up.

"Thanks Blake." Zack replied as he rubbed his head.

"So who are you two?" Yang asked, as she helped Victoria get up.

"Name's Anna, this is Zack. And I bet that you're Yang Xiao Long." Anna said looking at Yang.

"What's up?" Zack said as he pointed two fingers at Yang.

"As much as I would like to get to know you, I have to take care of this overgrown bear. Victoria, the card!" Anna said directing her attention towards he sister.

Victoria responds by throwing taking the card out of the protector, and throwing at Anna who caught the card and placed it in her deck. Grand Kuma notices this, and realizes that he has to duel Anna to claim the huntresses now.

"Yes, they have a fighting chance now." Kali cheered.

"Here's hoping they know how to use it." Emerald said.

"I would rather crush you where you stand, but I have no choice but to duel you now!" Grand Kuma yelled, as his left arm morphed into the Grimm-Duel disk.

"Uh, Anna. I have to give you credit for standing up to a Grimm twice your size. But I seriously doubt you can beat it in a fight. You don't look that strong." Yang said.

"Don't worry Yang. Fights done here are very different, but awesome at the same time. They fight with the card game known as Duel Monsters!" Ruby exclaimed.

"A card game? As much as I like playing card games, it doesn't sound that epic." Yang said, hoping to see some action.

"Oh alternate me, how wrong you are." Yang smiled.

"As silly as it sounds, it is quite interesting in a way, and it is worthy of my attention." Weiss hesitantly admitted.

"Besides, Anna relies on us for help, since we assist her in battle in this game." Blake said as she came over dragging Zack over to the sidelines.

"Alright then. I think I'll give this game a chance. Besides, if Weiss says something is okay, then it has to be great in my book." Yang admitted.

"What does that mean?" Weiss asked looking at Yang, along with Winter.

"What makes you say that?" Weiss asked angrily.

"I think it's due to the fact you're an Ice Queen." Zack said as he got up.

"Hey!" Weiss retorted.

"Hey!" Weiss did the same as she furrowed her brow at the screen.

"It's okay, I said I was done with that nickname, remember?" Yang said, laying a hand on Weiss's shoulder.

Weiss then took a deep breath and sighed. "Thank you for that." Weiss thanked Yang's attempt to calm her down.

Zack then notices the yellow chibi and decides to introduce himself.

"You must be Yang. I'm Zack and its pleasure to meet you. I hope we can get along." Zack said extending his hand for a handshake.

"Nice to see you too Zack. This duel monster game must be something if the Grimm are using it." Yang said as she grabbed Zack's hand, and almost crushed it.

"That's…one strong grip you got there." Zack said, as he tried not to cry.

"Whoops." Yang sweatdropped.

"I wonder how many times that happened to you in particular." Jaune said aloud.

"More times than the times she's been able to notice, that's for sure." Qrow said to him.

"Oh. Sorry about that kid." Yang said as she let go.

Qrow raised an eyebrow at that line. "Apart from this one, apparently." He said bluntly.

While Zack was blowing on this squeezed hand. Grand Kuma then activated the Barrier of Darkness, trapping Anna, Zack, Victoria and team RWBY within. Anna and Grand Kuma walked to their opposing sides. Anna then attached her D-tablet and her deck to her left arm. The two duelist then drew their five cards as holographic displays then showed up.

"DUEL!" Both players yelled.

Turn 1: Anna Yuno

Anna Yuno: 4000LP vs Grand Kuma: 4000LP

Anna Yuno Hand: 5 vs Grand Kuma Hand: 5

"Welp, here's my first time seeing a duel, let's hope it lives up to the hype." Tai said.

"Don't worry, dad, it will." Ruby told him.

"If you say so, sweetheart." Tai responded smiling.

"I start things off. Since I control no monsters, I can special summon Junk Forward straight from my hand in attack mode!" Anna declared, placing her card on the disk.

Junk Forward

Level 3: Attribute Earth

Warrior/Effect

ATK: 900 DEF: 1500

Out of no-where a warrior then came running out of a blue hole, as he jumped into the air and landed on his feet. Junk Forward was wearing white-grayish armor with black lines running across his armored parts. He also had a triangular shaped armor piece with armor blades sticking out of his shoulders, and his belt had three red gems; one in the center, and two on his sides. His helmet had a red gem on top with horns coming out of the face guards. What was noticeable was the two boosters on his backs. Yang was surprised of from seeing the summoning. Weiss and Blake thought he was okay. Ruby liked him the most.

"Whoa, that guy came in out of no where." Tai said surprised by the monster's entrance.

"Oh, a monster that uses speed." Ruby squealed in excitement. "And I bet Anna has a plan to to bring out a really tough monster with it." Ruby theorized.

"A speed based warrior!" Ruby yelled.

"This is starting to get interesting." Yang said as she had experience playing card games. Everything was okay, until someone came along and ruined it.

"I'll follow it up by summoning RWBY-Soul: Blake Belladonna from my hand in attack mode!" Anna declared, as she placed Blake's tuner card on her disk.

"I'll be right there." Blake said, as she entered the battlefield.

RWBY-Soul: Blake Belladonna

Level 2: Attribute Dark

Beast-Warrior/Tuner/Effect

ATK: 900 DEF: 1500

"Looks like it's my turn first up." Blake said, seeing her other self leap onto the field.

"Wait. You're a monster too Blake!?" Yang said, as she was shocked.

"Of course I am. I did say that Anna relied on us and vice versa." Blake stated.

"That's not all you'll see." Zack said to Yang.

"Now I tune level 2 Blake Belladonna, with level 3 Junk Forward!" Anna declared extending her hand into the air.

Blake then jumped into the air, turning into two green rings, which then surrounded Junk Forward as he turned into three stars.

"Descend the Black Beast! Fight to protect the world from cruel tyranny!" Anna chanted, as a pillar of light shot through the rings.

2 + 3 = 5

"I SYNCHRO SUMMON! Come forth, Embodiment of Freedom! Black Shadow Huntress: Blake Belladonna!" Anna yelled, playing Blake in her synchro form on the field in defense mode.

Black Shadow Huntress: Blake Belladonna

Level 5: Attribute Dark

Beast-Warrior/Synchro/Effect

ATK: 1900 DEF: 2400

"Whoa, now that's what I call a flashy entrance." Tai said in response to seeing on-screen Blake's transformation.

"The effect of RWBY-Soul: Blake Belladonna activates! Now I can summon a Shadow Clone token to the field in defense mode!" Anna declared.

Shadow Clone Token

Level 4: Attribute Dark

Beast-Warrior

ATK: 950 DEF: 1200

The Shadow Clone Token then appeared next to Blake, as they took on a defensive stance, protecting Anna.

"Now she has two monsters protecting her." James noted.

Ozpin nodded in agreement. "Excellent thinking on her part." Ozpin commented.

"And she barely used any cards from her hand." Glynda noticed.

"Now that's what I call impressive." Yang said as she whistled in the process.

"I know right! We can do it too." Ruby said.

"The game of duel monsters allows us to fight to the best of our abilities, and Anna is the strategist." Weiss explained.

"Now that's something. Can't wait to join in on the fight!" Yang said as she put her right fist into her left palm.

Back to the duel

"I play two cards face-down and end my turn." Anna said, as she placed two cards face-down on her field.

Turn 2: Grand Kuma

Anna Yuno: 4000LP vs Grand Kuma: 4000LP

Anna Yuno Hand: 1 vs Grand Kuma: 5

"It's my turn now. I draw!" Grand Kuma declared, as his draw caused a gust of wind to be blown towards Anna.

Everyone was shocked at what the Grimm just did. "He caused a gust of wind... just by drawing a card..." Cinder muttered.

"That's both incredible, and overly dramatic, but I do NOT want to say that to his face." Weiss said.

"Agreed." Jaune said gulping.

Yang snapped out of her shock and focused on the Grimm's moves. "Now then, let's see what kind of deck he uses." Yang thought, hoping Kai's words would hold some weight.

"To start my turn, I'll summon Battlin' Boxer Headgeared to my field in attack mode!" Grand Kuma declared.

"Say what?" Yang asked in shock.

"Wait. Did he say Boxer?" Yang exclaimed.

Battlin' Boxer Headgeared

Level 4: Attribute Fire

Warrior/Effect

ATK: 1000 DEF 1800

To clarify Yang's question, the monster that was summoned threw a couple of punches and was in a boxer like battle stance. Headgeared had a muscular body with purple skin, and wore black pants with white lines running across. He was wearing to boxing gloves, red leggings, and had his Head Gear on his head. His face was white and he had two glowing red eyes. Ruby, Weiss and Blake were slightly intimidated by the monster, as it looked ready to pummel someone's face. Yang had a face of a kid in a candy store.

Yang and Tai's jaws had dropped at the sight of such a concept. "No way..." Tai muttered in shock.

"A BOXER THEMED DECK? AWESOME!" Yang screamed to the heavens in awestruck glee. "Best card game EVER!"

"I never thought I'd see a card game involving boxers as part of the action." Qrow said.

"You and me both surprisingly." James said.

"Haha, this card game really is awesome." Tai said smiling.

"There is a deck based around Boxers?! This has to be the best game ever! I know what deck I'm going to get if I get a chance to duel. Also his attribute is Fire, just like me!" Yang exclaimed.

"It's everything I want in a monster come to life!" Yang cheered.

Kai heard this and raised his hand up to his chin. "Hmmm..." He hummed.

Everyone stared at Yang who looking at the monster with starts in her eyes, and had a big goofy grin on her face.

"Yang! That's the enemies' monster. This is no time to be admiring it!" Weiss yelled at Yang.

"Come on! A girl can dream!" Yang yelled back.

"Yeah, don't ruin the moment." Yang said loudly.

Back to the duel.

"I activate Headgeared's special ability. I can now send one Battlin' Boxer monster from my deck to the graveyard. I select Battlin' Boxer Glassjaw." Grand Kuma said, as he sent Glassjaw to the graveyard.

"Huh? He sent a card from his deck to the graveyard?" Ruby asked.

"Why'd he do that?" Nora asked.

"You see there are plenty of effects that are like that in the game of duel monsters, and they're all super dangerous in the fact that the ability allows for the choosing of ANY card that fulfills a certain category and place in somewhere that's easily accessible." Kai explained.

"Wait, ANY card that Grimm wants?" Winter said shocked.

"You heard it right." Kai answered.

"So that monster's effect when summoned was a boon to his strategy from a certain standpoint." James said.

"This card game truly is complex if sending a card to graveyard actually helps someone." Glynda said with a furrowed brow.

"Next I play the spell card Battlin' Boxer Spirits! By sending the top card of my deck to the graveyard, I can special summon one Battlin' Boxer from graveyard in face-up defense mode. Return to the ring, Battlin' Boxer Glassjaw!" Grand Kuma yelled, bringing back Glassjaw.

Battlin' Boxer Spirits

Spell card: Normal

Battlin' Boxer Spirits showed Headgeared in front, Glassjaw to the right, and another Battlin' Boxer to the left, and all of them were on fire with their eyes glowing intensely. All three of them were surrounding a card that was glowing blue. Yang liked how the card looked as it reminded her the will to keep fighting till you win. Then a burst of fire erupted on Grand Kuma's field as Glassjaw emerged from the fire in defense mode.

Battlin' Boxer Glassjaw

Level 4: Attribute Fire

Warrior/Effect

ATK: 2000 DEF: 0

Glassjaw had green skin and had huge muscles on his upper body. He wore black boxing gloves, black headgear, black footwear, and white shorts. His appearance made him looked like he went to the GYM every single day.

"Whoa..." Was all Yang and Nora could say at the sight of the tough-looking monster.

"That monster looks like he could smash someone's aura into pieces with a single punch." Tai guessed, seeing Glassjaw's appearance.

"But with defense points like that, I don't think we have much to be worried about." Weiss said, ignorant of what's to come next.

"As strong as he is. A monster with zero defense points in defense mode isn't impressive." Weiss stated as she wasn't too worried.

"He still looks amazing!" Yang yelled.

"And you guys say I overreact at these monsters." Ruby said with a deadpanned tone.

"This isn't the main event yet. Well now it is. I overlay level 4 Headgeared and level 4 Glassjaw!" Grand Kuma declared.

"Huh, overlay?" Cinder repeated.

"What does that mean?" Penny asked.

"It means that what Weiss just said is going to be disproven, I'm guessing." Yang said worried about what was coming.

Anna, Zack and Victoria were shocked to hear what Grand Kuma just said. Team RWBY were curious of what the word overlay meant. They were even more surprised as Headgeared and Glassjaw turned into bright red energy representing their attributes, and shot up into the sky as they then crossed each other in the air.

"With these two monsters I build the overlay network!" Grand Kuma yelled.

A black vortex then appeared in front of Grand Kuma, which resembled a Black Hole, as the two red beings of energy went into the hole. This then caused a bright explosion in the vortex.

"Unbelievable." Ghira whispered, amazed at the sight of the spectacle happening now.

"It's looks amazing, but..." Kali hesitated to speak up more.

"This is something the enemy is doing." Ren said in her place.

"I don't like where this is going." Blake said, as she worried what was happening.

"Great shackled warrior, come forth to the ring and destroy anyone who challenges your strength." Grand Kuma chanted.

"I XYZ summon! Appear! Rank 4, Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke!" Grand Kuma declared, as he placed card that was black on his disk.

Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke

Rank 4: Attribute Fire

Warrior/XYZ/Effect

ATK: 2200 DEF: 2000

From the light stood a warrior who wore the outfit of a Greek solider or a Roman Gladiator and had an iron mask on his face, with eyes glowing red, and short red hair. What was noticeable about this monster was that he was wearing a shackle on his right hand that was connected to his neck, with wood balancers on both sides, and a weight balancer on his back with chains. There also two red orbs revolving around the monster, as if there were planets revolving around the sun. Team RWBY was shocked at the summoning method that Grand Kuma used, as they only know the synchro summoning method.

The audience had their jaws dropped at the sight of the monster before them. "So that's why he summoned Glassjaw..." Weiss said, still in shock.

"That monster looks powerful, but why is it wearing all of those restraints." Penny asked.

"Forget that, what just happened." Nora asked.

"What kind of summoning method is that?!" Weiss yelled as she did not see this coming.

Victoria then began to explain to the team RWBY what a XYZ summoning was and somehow pulled a chalk board out of no-where.

Now the audience had at least one eyebrow on their heads raised at what Victoria just did.

"How did she just..." Glynda muttered.

"She pulled a..." James was trying to wrap his head around that stunt.

"Guys." Kai got everyone's attention. "I'm admittly not as baffled by this as you lot are, but trust me when I say this: Do NOT question it in the slightest, you'll save yourselves from your minds imploding, and just go with it." Kai told them.

Everyone, especially the General of Atlas and Ozpin's right hand wanted to figure out how that stunt was feasible, but nodded slowly and went with it.

"It's known as an XYZ summon. You see it is one of three extra deck summoning methods that some duelist use. The summoning method you four are currently familiar with is Synchro summoning. That is when you use a tuner monster and combine its level with another monster on the field, to synchro summon a monster whose level is equal to the sum of that monster." Victoria explained, using the chalk board to demonstrate.

"So Synchro summons are basic addition, we're well aware of that." Jaune noted.

"Even I know how to do basic addition." Nora said shrugging.

Kai raised an eyebrow at that. "What's 100 + 257? Five seconds, GO!" Kai suddenly shouted at the hammer-wielding girl.

Nora was quickly taken back by this, but tried to do the math in her head, until... "Oh, 357!" Nora answered.

Kai looked at Nora with a simplistic expression before he nodded. "Good on you." Kai said before the explanation resumed.

Zack then took over.

"What Grand Kuma used is another extra deck summoning method known as XYZ summoning. To perform an XYZ summon, you have to combine the appropriate amount and certain types of monsters with the same level and overlay them. This is quite different from most summoning methods, as the monsters are stacked onto of each other rather than going to the graveyard. Then the duelist selects the desire XYZ monster with the same rank as the monsters, and places it top of the stacked monsters, and those monsters become its overlay units. Keep in mind that Rank and Level are two different things." Zack said as he demonstrated the summoning technique on the board.

"So it's like the monsters are still on the field, but not really." Jaune guessed.

"Exactly." Kai answered. "In fact, in the era where Xyz summoning was most prominent, there was a saying of sorts." Kai told them before saying it. "'Release two souls, for mysteries untold'." Kai said.

Author's note: Does ANYBODY remember this saying from Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal? Cause it popped up in my mind the while writing this and I felt like I should include it.

"Two souls for mysteries untold?" James repeated.

"That sounds just like what has just transpired." Ozpin noted.

"I'm not too well versed in the meaning behind the saying as the saying itself is all I can recall, but it does sound similar is all I'll say." Kai said before everyone faced the screen.

"As awesome as that is, it doesn't change the fact that there is a gigantic boxer on the other side of the field." Ruby said in fear.

"I'll say. He just looks menacing just standing there." Weiss said.

"His looks and summoning methods are awesome! But why did he had to be on the enemy team?" Yang yelled as she was half excited, but half disappointed.

"Even though it's powerful. My defense points are high enough to keep me safe." Blake said, as she was cautious.

"Wasn't expecting an XYZ summon. I better fight carefully." Anna thought to herself.

"If you're done talking, I'll now attack that shadow clone token with Lead Yoke. Go K.O. punch-out!" Grand Kuma declared.

"If that Shadow Clone is destroyed, she won't be able to use it's protection ability." Winter noted, remembering what the token can do.

"I play my trap card, Scrap-Iron scarecrow! This card lets me negate one of your attacks. After that, I can set facedown again for another turn." Anna declared activating her trap.

Scrap-Iron Scarecrow

Trap Card: Normal

The trap revealed itself open as it projected the iron scarecrow in front of the token, as Lead Yoke attack was blocked as it then turned face-down once more.

"There are traps in the game too?! This just keeps getting better and better." Yang said with excitement, remembering her times playing her trap cards on a certain board game.

"Hmph. I'll end my turn with a card two cards face-down on my field to end my turn." Grand Kuma stated, as two cards appeared on his field.

Turn 3: Anna Yuno

Anna Yuno: 4000LP vs Grand Kuma: 4000LP

Anna Yuno Hand: 1 vs Grand Kuma Hand: 2

"The two of them are currently tied in terms of the life point count." Tai noticed.

"It's my turn now. I draw! From my hand I activate the Graceful Charity spell card! I can draw three cards from my deck, as long as I toss out two." Anna declared, as she drew then discarded.

"But I think I'll be little disgraceful with my face-down. I play Disgraceful Charity! With this card, I can add any cards that I have discarded back to my hand." Anna said, activating her face-down.

Disgraceful Charity

Trap Card: Normal

Disgrace full charity showed a black angel with horn on her head and red hair holding a card in her hands. Her skin was blue, she wore a blue dress, with purple eyes and a trident like symbol on her forehead. The angel then emerged from the card and blew red dust at Anna's duel disk, as Anna reclaimed her discarded cards.

"Nice, she was able to get three extra cards from the Graceful Charity, and she didn't even have to pay a price." Qrow said smiling at the move Anna made.

"That was smart. Anna didn't had to lose any cards by playing those two charity cards." Weiss said.

"Looks like Anna just got donation from her deck." Yang punned.

A record scratch could be heard ringing throughout some people's minds as on-screen Yang made that sorry excuse of a joke.

"Oh no..." Weiss muttered.

"It's starting." Ruby said grimly.

"This can only end so well." Mercury chimed in, seeing how bad Yang's puns are.

Everyone, especially Grand Kuma and Anna just stared at Yang. Everything was silent, until Zack started laughing a little.

"Hahahahahaha! That was a good one!" Zack said.

"You actually like my puns? Nice to know there is a person here that appreciates good humor." Yang said, as she never heard anyone laugh that loud, from hearing her puns.

"Mission failed." Ruby said, in a deadpanned tone.

"There's not much else to add to that. Mission failed." Ruby said as she sunk into her seat in a agony at what type of character dynamic was going to happen between the two sorry excuses of comedians.

"Oh come on, I'm funny." Yang attempted to defend herself.

"NO YOUR NOT!" RWB and JNPR shouted at her, making the blonde recoil in slight fright at the looks she was getting.

Everyone was calming down from the hostility they were showing to Yang and her sense of humor as they faced the screen.

Annoyed, Anna decided to continue her turn, but not before her eye twitched.

"I summon RWBY-Soul: Ruby Rose to the field in Attack mode." Anna said, still a little ticked off.

"It's my time to shine! Wish me luck, sis." Ruby said as she join the battlefield.

RWBY-Soul: Ruby Rose

Level 3: Attribute Wind

Warrior/Tuner/Effect

ATK 1400 DEF: 900

"Looks like I'm up next." Ruby noted.

"But how is Anna going to get Ruby's true form on the field?" Pyrrha asked.

"I now tune level 3 Ruby Rose with my level 4 shadow clone token!" Anna announced.

Ruby then jumped into the air, turning into three green rings, which then surrounded the shadow clone, turning it into four stars.

"OH! The shadow clone token can be used as synchro material." Jaune noted.

"That's actually really cool, using something that should be an illusion, actually making a physical impact on the world." Emerald said, thinking back on her semblance.

"Only you'd think of it like that." Kai thought to himself, keeping his outer emotions in check.

"Grand rose that scatters through the air. Descend to the battlefield and create a new hope!" Anna chanted, as a pillar of light shot through the rings.

3 + 4 = 7

"I SYNCHRO SUMMON! Come forth! Embodiment of Hope! Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose!" Anna declared playing Ruby's synchro form on her disk.

Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose

Level 7: Attribute Wind

Warrior/Synchro/Effect

ATK: 2500 DEF 2000

Ruby then appeared on the battlefield as she wielded her Crescent Rose, in her battle stance.

"Nice of you to join the battle Ruby. I could use the help." Blake said smiling.

"Don't worry Blake. I got you covered." Ruby said.

"Due to the effect of RWBY-Soul: Ruby Rose in my graveyard, Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose gains 300 extra attack points for this turn. I'll then switch Black-Shadow Huntress: Blake Belladonna to attack mode." Anna declared, as Ruby powered up, and Blake prepared for battle.

Black Shadow Huntress: Blake Belladonna: Defense Mode to Attack Mode

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

"Time for some huntress style battling." Yang said excited for her teammates.

"Now, I attack Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke with Blake Belladonna!" Anna declared.

Blake then on instinct ran towards Lead Yoke. She then slashed at him with several sword swings as Lead Yoke guarded against them. Lead Yoke then brought down his left hand and manage to land a hit on Blake.

"BLAKE! What was Anna thinking!?" Yang yelled in horror as she saw her friend got pulverized.

"Strategy, other me, strategy." Yang said.

"Something you'd have a hard time getting into your skull." Weiss said, knocking on her teammates bombastic personality.

"Don't make me go back to ice queen." Yang threatened.

"Don't worry Yang. It's all part of Anna's plan." Zack said smiling.

"I suggest you take a closer look at our friend." Weiss said, as she smiled as well.

"Seeing you smile seems logically impossible to me." Victoria said to Weiss.

"Hey! There is nothing wrong with the way I smile!" Weiss yelled back.

"Oh come on, I have feelings too, you know!" Weiss yelled alongside her on-screen counterpart.

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just weird to see you smiling." Zack said, with a nervous smile on his face.

"Quiet you!" Weiss snapped at Zack.

As Lead Yoke thought he destroyed Blake, the body then vanished as if it were a shadow, surprising the monster.

"When Blake attacks a monster with 2000 or more attack points, all battle damage is turned to zero, and she is placed in my spell and trap card zone, equipping to your monster as well." Anna declared.

Lead Yoke then had the gambol shroud tied to his left arm, as Blake pulled him down with all her might.

Yang opened her mouth to say the obvious pun, but Ruby and Blake slapped their hands over her mouth to stop her. "Not a word." Blake said bluntly.

"I know exactly what you're going to say, so don't even bother." Yang pouted at the fact that Ruby said this to her, so she leaned back in her chair disappointed.

"Looks likes Anna and Blake got that Lead Yoke tied up at the moment." Zack said snickering.

"Grand Kuma is going to get stringed along in this fight." Yang said as she snickered as well.

The two then high fived each other as they laughed at their puns. Everyone just stared at them. Even the Lead Yoke was staring at them.

"Do you have to deal with that every day?" Lead Yoke asked Blake.

Yang and Tai had their jaws drop at the fact that even the hulking behemoth of a boxer was looking at her on-screen counterpart like she'd just grown a new head.

"OH COME FRICKING ON!" Yang said exasperated.

"Why's your jaw dropped?" Qrow asked Tai.

"Her jokes aren't that bad, I should know, I taught those jokes myself." Tai said, defending her oldest daughter's sense of humor.

Many people who knew Tai well slowly turned to him. "That... explains a lot." Glynda said.

"Indeed it does." James muttered.

"You have no idea." Blake said with a deadpanned look.

"Getting back on track now! Ruby, attack Lead Yoke with Crescent Slash!" Anna yelled.

"I'm on it Anna. Prepare to be beaten." Ruby said as she rushed forward.

"Blake's ability now activates! When the monster equipped with her gets attacked by Huntress monster, that monster loses attack points equal to halve of the attacking monster's original attack points!" Anna yelled, with her arm thrusted out.

Blake then converted her Gambol Shroud to Gun form and shot Lead Yoke multiple times, as he was then weaken.

Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke: 2200ATK – 1250ATK = 950 ATK

"Show them who's boss, other me!" Ruby cheered.

"With points that low, she'll beat him for sure." Kali gleefully said.

"Then she'll be able to attack with Blake after it's destroyed." Ozpin smiled.

"I play Lead Yoke's special ability! When a Battlin' Boxer monster would be destroyed by card effect or battle, I can use one overlay unit, and negate that destruction." Grand Kuma yelled.

"WHAT!?" RWBY and JNPR shouted in shock.

"But that means that Blake's stuck in the spell and trap card zones." Ren noted.

"And she won't return to Anna's field until the monsters destroyed." Weiss added.

"That's not good." James muttered.

"Overlay units are said to be the soul of a XYZ monster, and they use those souls to use their abilities to their full potential." Zack said, with a serious tone.

One of the overlay units was then absorbed into the right arm shackled, and Lead Yoke was surrounded by a blue aura. Weiss notices something. The right shackle on Lead Yoke's body seemed to have a crack in it.

"Huh?" Was the reaction most people had to that minute detail.

"A crack?" Nora wondered.

"And in the shackles too." Tai added, until a thought crossed his mind. "Wait, is that monster..."

"That's strange. I don't remember seeing a crack there before. Is my mind playing tricks on me?" Weiss thought.

"You still going to take damage from my attack!" Ruby yelled as she brought down her scythe.

Ruby then brought down her scythe, causing a shock wave, damaging Grand Kuma. Lead Yoke was still standing due to its ability.

Grand Kuma: 4000LP – 1850LP = 2150LP

"In your face, Grimm!" Yang loudly said, glad to have some serious damage done to the bad guys this early in the duel.

"How do you like that? This is what team RWBY is capable of!" Ruby said proudly.

"Is that so? Then I have nothing to worry about!" Grand Kuma said smiling.

"Huh?" Yang let out confused by what the Grimm said.

"Oh no." Tai grimaced.

"Since I took battle damage this turn, I can summon Battlin' Boxer Veil from my hand in defense mode! Also, when he is summon this way, I gain life points equal to the damage I took." Grand Kuma declared.

"What!?" Ruby yelled in disbelief, as Anna gritted her teeth.

Battlin' Boxer Veil

Level 4: Attribute Fire

Warrior/Effect

ATK: 0 DEF: 2000

Battlin' Boxer veil then appeared, as he wore red leg armor and red chest armor. His lower body was strapped with a brown brace, and his face was covered up by a mask with a white mask with four eye slits. On both of his arms were large semi-circle disk guards. Veil then glowed blue as, he then restored Grand-Kuma's lost life.

Grand Kuma: 2150LP + 1850LP = 4000LP

"Seriously!" Qrow shouted.

"Oh, it could not get worse than this." Sun said, tempting fate.

"Sorry, kid, but I think it could." Tai told Sun.

"What do you mean, dad?" Ruby asked her father.

"Just watch." Tai told her.

"Aw come on! Not only he wasn't destroyed, but he got his all of his life points back!" Ruby complained as her hard work was for nothing.

"To make matters worse, Blake can't come back to the field until Lead Yoke is destroyed." Anna said, as she realized Blake was stuck in her spell and trap card zone.

"It's about to get worse. Whenever Lead Yoke loses an overlay unit, his attacks points increase by 800." Grand Kuma yelled.

Lead Yoke then, puts all of his strength into his right arm, and then breaks the weaken shackle, allowing him to fight with two hands now.

Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke: 2200ATK + 800ATK = 3000ATK

"So that's what the crack was about." Pyrrha said.

"Talk about getting the best of both worlds, it stopped it's destruction, and got a power up in the process." Jaune listed off the benefits Lead Yoke got from it's one ability.

"I hate it when I'm right! Lead Yoke is now stronger than Ruby!" Weiss yelled in horror seeing Yoke's attack point's rise.

"A monster who can't be destroyed by using its effect and just gets stronger in the process. I really have mixed feeling about this." Yang said, as she was impressed by the monster's ability, but frighten that Ruby might get knocked out.

"I'd be conflicted about that ability as well, it's a good ability, but it's the enemy using it." Yang said agreeing with her counterpart.

"Goes to show just how tough the Grimm can be now that they're using more up to date cards." Qrow grimly said.

"I play two cards face-down and end my turn." Anna said, playing her cards face-down.

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

Turn 4: Grand Kuma

Anna Yuno: 4000LP vs Grand Kuma 4000LP

Anna Yuno Hand: 1 vs Grand Kuma Hand: 1

"My move now. I draw!" Grand Kuma declared, as smiled at the card he has in his hands.

"I activate the ability of Battlin' Boxer Shadow from my hand! By sending one overlay unit from a Battlin' Boxer XYZ monster to the graveyard, I can special summon this card from my hand. Enter the ring Shadow!" Grand Kuma yelled.

Battlin' Boxer Shadow

Level 4: Attribute Fire

Warrior/Effect

ATK: 1800 DEF: 1400

An overlay unit from Lead Yoke was then sent into a black-portal in the ground, and then Battlin' Boxer then emerged from the portal. He then moved around, as he fazed in and out like a shadow, throwing several punches in the process. The boxer was all black, and really dark gray in some areas, as he wore blue pants, with blue lines running across it and he had blue eyes. He also wore black headgear, with black boxing gloves and bandages on his arms, and waist. His upper body was also exposed revealing his muscles. Blake slightly blushed at the sight of this monster, as he looked extremely cool to her, and he moved like a shadow, just like her. Everyone then realized that Lead Yoke lost an overlay unit which spell bad news.

"Since Lead Yoke lost an overlay unit, it gains another 800 attack points." Grand Kuma declared.

Everyone watched in horror as Lead Yoke broke the final restraints that he had on him, as he was at full power and he stood with his back straight.

Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke: 3000ATK + 800ATK = 3800ATK

"But now that he doesn't have any overlay units, he can't protect his monsters anymore." Mercury said.

"But that still doesn't change the fact that he still has a monster on his field with nearly 4000 attack points." James grimly said.

"How are they going to beat that?" Tai asked.

"Just watch." Kai told them.

"That monster has muscles on its muscles!" Ruby screamed in horror.

"So this is the power of XYZ monsters. It's scary, but yet incredible." Weiss stated as she just stared eyes-wide at the monster.

"Man, that monster ripped! But yet attractive at the same time." Yang said, as she smiled at the monster for a brief moment.

"I'm not done yet! I now overlay level 4 Battlin' Boxer Shadow and level 4 Battlin' Boxer Veil, to build overlay network!" Grand Kuma declared.

"Another XYZ summon!" Anna said in fear.

"That's not good!" Weiss said panicked.

The two monsters then turned into red energy as they then went up into the air crossing each other, and then went into a black vortex on the ground. A white explosion then erupted from the vortex.

"I XYZ summon another Lead Yoke!" Grand Kuma declared.

Another Lead Yoke appeared on the field but this one was shackled.

Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke (2)

Rank 4: Attribute Fire

Warrior/XYZ/Effect

ATK: 2200 DEF: 2000

"And just when one wasn't enough." Anna said sarcastically.

"You got that right, now he's got that annoying protection effect back." Jaune said.

"How's she going to get past that?" Kali wondered.

"My thoughts exactly Anna." Blake said.

"I now attack Ruby Rose with my strongest Lead Yoke! Go K.O. Punch-out!" Grand Kuma declared.

The unshackled Lead Yoke then began running towards Ruby, and Ruby was sweating bullets as she did not want to get punched in the face by that monster. Everyone thought Anna would use her scrap iron scarecrow, but she had something else in mind.

"I activate one my other face-downs. Huntress Reversal Tactics!" Anna declared activating her trap.

"That's the card I gave to Anna this morning! A Huntress support card." Zack said.

"What does it do?" Cinder wondered aloud.

"So there are cards that are exclusive to us. That is quite interesting." Weiss said, intrigued of what this card does.

"I think something awesome is about to happen." Yang said smiling from hearing the name of the card.

Huntress Reversal Tactics

Trap Card: Normal

The card showed a Beowolf attacking a shadow clone that was created by Blake, and the real Blake about to slice the Beowolf in to, as she was about to bring her Gambol Shroud in blade form down.

"Wow, nice art on it." Sun complemented.

"Indeed, really shows how tough Blake is." Yang said, making Blake smile at her.

"Whenever you attack a huntress monster, this cards negates your attack. After that, the huntress monster is one attacking instead! As an added bonus, the Huntress monster gains 200 attack points for this battle." Anna yelled.

Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose: 2500 ATK + 200 ATK = 2700 ATK

"Wait, what?" Ruby asked.

"A player's monster attacking during the opposing player's turn, interesting effect." Ozpin said, summarizing the effect.

"Wait a sec, if Ruby's the one attacking, doesn't that mean..." Jaune slowly asked.

"What's the point? The outcome is still going to be the same anyway." Grand Kuma yelled.

"Not quite. Remember, Ruby is the one attacking this time, not your monster. Team RWBY's abilities can only be activated if they're the attackers. So my trap card lets them attack instead." Anna explained.

Jaune smiled at that explanation. "I knew it, it lets you guys use your duel monster abilities on your opponent's turn." Jaune deduced.

"Exactly." Kai spoke up. "Believe it or not, that trap actually has a one of a kind effect, letting your monsters attack during your opponent's turn has been unprecedented until this card came into the world we're viewing." Kai told them all.

"Wow, guess the huntress cards really are special, huh?" Oscar smiled.

"Trust me, this is only the tip of the iceberg." Kai assured them.

"I didn't really get it." Yang said scratching her head.

Victoria then explained it to anyone who didn't understood the card.

"It's quite simple if you think about it. You see the trap card Anna played first negates the attack from the opponent. What it does next, is that it causes the monster who was just attacked to fight back, or in this case, attack the monster who had its attack negated. In other words, Ruby is attacking on Grand Kuma's turn." Victoria explained.

"There is even more to this card. Our abilities are activated whenever we battle a monster 2000 or more attack points. So this card lets us use our abilities on the opponent's turn." Weiss said, as she smiled.

"Haha, I love turnabouts in combat like this." Nora cheered.

"I activate Ruby Rose's special ability! Since she is attacking a monster with 2000 or more attack points, she can battle another monster! I choose your other Lead-Yoke!" Anna yelled, as she pointed her finger at the second Lead Yoke.

"Not to mention Blake's ability activates as well. Whenever the monster she's equipped to battles a huntress monster, that monster loses attack points equal to halve of the original attack points of the attacking monster." Anna yelled as she smiled, with her arm extended.

Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke (1): 3800 ATK – 1250 ATK = 2550ATK.

"Now the stronger of the two monsters is weaker than Ruby." Glynda said, shocked at how that one trap changed the state of the game.

"And Ruby can beat it now." Oscar added.

"Show them who's boss, me!" Ruby cheered.

Blake then fired multiple shots at the Lead Yoke she had tied up, halving its attack points. Ruby then turned into a flurry of Rose petals attacking both Lead Yokes, as they tried to fend off Ruby. She then slashed at them a couple of times, before moving out of the way. Blake also used her blade to bring down Lead Yoke (1), allowing Ruby to fire several shots at it.

"I activate my second Lead Yoke's ability, I use one overlay unit to negate its destruction." Grand Kuma declared.

The overlay unit then was absorbed into one of the shackles. Lead Yoke (2) then had a blue glow as Ruby's scythe couldn't make a dent in it.

"Ugh, that stupid protection ability got in the way." Weiss growled.

"That won't stop Ruby from destroying your other Yoke along with damaging you!" Anna yelled.

It was true. Lead Yoke (1) was then destroyed as he was cut in halve by Ruby's scythe. Ruby then turned her scythe into its gun form firing multiple shots at the second Lead Yoke. This caused multiple shock waves damaging Grand Kuma. However, since Ruby attack using her effect, all battle damage was halved.

"That's my sister for you! Awesome as ever!" Yang shouted with excitement.

Grand Kuma: 4000LP – 75LP – 250LP = 3675LP

"Too bad that the damage was halved even still." Ghira said through slightly gritted teeth.

"But she did manage to get rid of the most powerful monster on the field at the time, so it's a starting point." Sienna said.

"That's a point we both can agree on." James nodded.

"Since Lead Yoke lost an overlay unit, it gains 800 attack points." Grand Kuma stated.

Lead Yoke's right shackle then broke as it got more powerful.

Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke (2): 2200ATK + 800ATK = 3000ATK

"At this time, since the monster that Blake was equipped to was destroyed, I can special summon her from the graveyard with her effects negated till the end of my next turn, and Ruby's attack points return to normal." Anna said, as Blake returned to field in defense mode, and Ruby's attack went back to normal.

Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose: 2700ATK – 200ATK = 2500ATK

"That won't stop me from attacking with my other Lead Yoke! K.O. Punch out!" Grand Kuma yelled.

"I still have my Scarp-Iron Scarecrow to negate your attack!" Anna yelled.

"She'll be able to stop two strong monsters in one turn if this goes through." Pyrrha noted.

The scarecrow then appeared in front of Ruby ready to block the attack as Ruby felt safe. Grand Kuma then smirked.

"I activate my facedown trap card! Trap Jammer! When you activate a trap card during the battle phase, Trap Jammer negates that card and destroys it." Grand Kuma declared.

"WHAT!" RWBY and JNPR shouted in shock at what was going to do.

"A trap designed to stop other traps?" Oscar asked.

Trap Jammer

Trap Card: Counter

Trap Jammer showed a magic circle binding a bear trap. A circle the appeared around the scarecrow destroying it. Anna then realized something.

"You had that card on your field ever since your turn began. So why didn't you use it to stop my other trap card?" Anna asked, confused.

"She's right, if he used that trap card, his other Lead Yoke would have survived." Weiss stated.

"He's right, why didn't he do it?" Penny asked.

"Maybe he was counting on that scarecrow card to be played." Tai figured.

"It's quite simple. I knew if I attacked, you would negate the attack of the first Lead Yoke, with that scarecrow. I wasn't counting on you activating that other card, but little did you know, playing that card only made me stronger. Because of it, I was able to use my other Lead Yoke's ability to increase's its attack points. Plus, it let me get rid of your pesky Blake card, and she can't use her effects till the end of your next turn. So I waited to use my trap until now." Grand Bear said, waving his finger at Anna.

The audience was shocked that the level of thought and tactical thinking this Grimm had portrayed. "If Grimm were able to think of strategies like this..." Emerald muttered with a seriously worried look on her face.

"There's no telling what they could do." Qrow said.

"They could learn from their mistakes in battle, retreat from combat when they need to, maybe even find a way past major city defenses... all on their own." James deduced.

"Good thing these smarts are only being use for combat in the form of a card game, or we'd be..." Yang said before Nora finished for her.

"Fucked six ways to Sunday?" She said facing the blonde.

"Yep, basically." Yang answered.

"It has got to be just me being paranoid, but... could Salem really control them if they have that level of intelligence?" Cinder thought to herself.

"Man. Not only this guy is strong, he's also smart." Yang said, as she gritted her teeth.

"He timed that trap perfectly. I guess we all underestimated him." Weiss said with contempt.

"And the worst part is that Ruby is going to get destroyed!" Zack said with a worried look on his face.

Lead Yoke bypassed the trap card, and charged at Ruby. Ruby tried to fight back by firing several shots at Lead Yoke, but the boxer weaved its way around the bullets, and then disarmed Ruby. He then jabbed her in the stomach knocking her down on the ground as she flat on her back. Lead Yoke then climbed up a nearby fencing, and jump off said fence, finishing Ruby off with a downward elbow strike, in the gut. It was very unpleasant for Ruby.

"So this is what boxing feels like." Ruby squeaked as she then shattered, or exploded.

The adults winced at the sight on the inside as the students of Beacon were in an uproar at the sight of their friend getting defeated like that.

"RUBY!" They all shouted.

"DAMMIT!" Tai yelled in despair at the sight.

"I'm gonna tear that bastard APART for doing that to my family!" Yang declared in a fit of rage.

Anna Yuno: 4000LP – 500LP = 3500LP

"RUBY! YOU MONSTER! I DON'T CARE HOW AWESOME YOU ARE! NO ONE GETS AWAY WITH KILLING MY LITTLE SISTER!" Yang angrily yelled, as her eyes turned red for a moment.

"She's not actually dead you know. She's a spirit, so she's just resting in the graveyard." Victoria stated.

"I DON'T CARE! I WANT TO BEAT THIS GUY SO BADLY NOW!" Yang yelled, still angry about her sister's destruction.

"I KNOW, RIGHT!" Yang loudly said, agreeing with her counterpart.

"I now end my turn with a card face-down." Grand Kuma said.

Turn 5: Anna Yuno

Anna Yuno: 3500LP vs Grand Kuma: 3675LP

Anna Yuno Hand: 1 vs Grand Kuma Hand: 0

"SHOW HIM NO MERCY ANNA!" Yang yelled.

"As much as I want to, I can't right now. I got one face-down on my field, Blake in defense mode, a monster-card and a trap-card in hand. If I use the trap on Blake, it wouldn't do much. So I better lay low until Lead Yoke disappears. Man this is hard." Anna thought to herself.

"I play a monster face-down in defense mode, and one card face-down. That ends my turn." Anna reluctantly said.

"Dammit, if it weren't for that Grimm healing off the damage from earlier with Battlin' Boxer Veil, Anna would at least be in the lead." James analyzed the situation and the duel thus far.

"And that second Lead Yoke wouldn't have been summoned." Weiss added.

"Guess that one card really made a difference." Winter admitted.

"And she couldn't do anything with her current setup of cards." Yang said through gritted teeth, while gripping her hair in frustration.

"I guess Anna can't do much with her hand. She has to play defensively if she wants to win, until she draws the card she needs." Weiss stated.

Yang growled a little. She wanted to see Grand Kuma pulverized for what he did to Ruby. No one was allowed to hurt her little sister. She then calm down just a bit, but was still a tad bit angry. She really needed to hit something.

Blake was more worried. The Lead Yoke's attack strength towered over her defense strength. Although she was worry about being destroyed, she would willingly protect Anna, in order to buy her time.

"Sorry I have to leave you out there Blake." Anna said.

"Just as long as you find a way to beat this guy, everything will be fine." Blake replied, in a serious tone.

Turn 6: Grand Kuma

Anna Yuno: 3500LP vs Grand Kuma: 3675LP

Anna Yuno Hand: 0 vs Grand Kuma Hand: 0

"It's my move! Draw!" Grand Kuma yelled, smiling at the card he got.

"What did he get?" Ren said with a pit in his stomach.

"Don't be a new monster." Nora muttered while Pyrrha, Jaune, and Blake were silently praying for the same thing.

"I first activate the one my face-downs. I play XYZ Reborn! This card lets me revive a XYZ monster that is in my graveyard, and XYZ Reborn becomes an overlay unit for the monster. I choose my other Lead Yoke." Grand Kuma declared, as a black portal appeared in front of him.

XYZ Reborn

Trap Card: Normal

XYZ Reborn showed an orange and yellow emblem with several metal like wings in the front, studded with blue gems, and had a blue ring circling around it. It resemble that of a space key. Lead Yoke (1) then emerged from the portal and was ready to re-enter the ring. XYZ reborn then turned into an orb of energy, and circled around Lead Yoke (1) becoming and Overlay unit.

"A trap that revives an xyz monster AND turns into an overlay unit for said monster?" Glynda asked shocked at the effect of the card.

"Dammit, as much as I don't want to say it, Anna's going to lose at this rate." Qrow said, not liking the look of the Grimm's field.

"Guess it's double the trouble, and the Lead Yoke's are going to take first place! To be honest, I don't if what I said is a pun." Zack yelled.

"Now's not the time for puns Zack, I really want to have at those Yokes for hurting my sister!" Yang yelled.

"Yang is known to have a short-temper at times. So don't make her mad if we get out of this." Weiss whispered to Zack.

Yang wanted to argue against it, but her recent fits while seeing this episode popped up in her mind, before she sighed. "I won't deny it, your alternate self is not wrong." Yang admitted.

Lead Yoke had plans to finish off Anna Yuno.

"I play spell card XYZ gift! Since I control two XYZ monsters on my field, I can send two overlay units to the graveyard to draw two cards from my deck. So not only will I draw cards, but my Lead Yokes will also power up in the process!" Grand Kuma yelled.

XYZ Gift

Spell card: Normal

XYZ Gift showed a present box that had a bright orange light shooting through it, as it was circled by two overlay units that were red and blue. The overlay units then detached from the Lead Yokes and went to Grand Kuma's deck, causing it to glow. As Grand Kuma drew his two cards, each Lead Yoke powered up.

Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke (1): 2200ATK + 800ATK = 3000ATK

Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke (2): 3000ATK + 800ATK = 3800ATK

Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury were shocked at the strategy the Grimm used. "It's a trap to bring a destroyed monster back and restore an overlay unit to it, and then a spell to draw some cards AND power-up two copies of that revived monster." Emerald said, seeing the strategy the monster had used.

"And this is all after the Grimm updated the types of card's they can use, so who knows what ELSE they can do." Mercury added.

Cinder wondered just how much more efficient Salem's plans would be if they had Grimm like this on their side. "Toppling Atlas would be an easy feat, even IF Salem was out of commission for a while.

"That one spell is even worse than a monster." Qrow said with his hands in the air.

Everyone was worried that now Grand Kuma had more cards in hand, and two monsters with over 3000 attack points. It was about to get worse.

"I play the spell card graceful charity from my hand. You're familiar with this card, so instead of explaining, I'll just do it." Grand Kuma said, drawing three cards and then ditching two.

"Oh great, now he has even MORE cards to kick her butt with." Ruby groaned.

"I don't think he's going to attack right now either." Ren said.

"I think the weather is getting a bit stormy now. Well lightning will strike with the help of my spell card! I play the spell card Raigeki! This card destroys all monsters you control on your field. So say goodbye to your monsters." Grand Kuma yelled.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!" The entire audience screamed in panic and/or shock.

Author's note: Pun not intended.

"It destroys ALL monsters AT NO COST?!" Oscar asked in genuine shock.

"That's completely broken and unfair, and why was that card even made at all?!" Qrow shouted.

"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?!" Yang shouted at the ferocity of the effect.

"What's she going to do?" Oscar asked, panicked out of his mind at how badly this one turn was turning out for Anna and team RWBY.

Raigeki

Spell Card: Normal

The card showed a deadly lightning bolt. Storm clouds then began to gather over Anna's field, as a lightning bolt shot out of the sky, striking both Blake and Anna's facedown monster, destroying them. Blake didn't get a chance to scream, as the lightning made quick work of her.

"She's completely defenseless!" James said with an expression of slight panic at the situation on his face.

"She still has those face-down cards, she still has a chance." Ruby said with hope.

"FIRST RUBY, NOW BLAKE! THIS GUY IS SO GOING TO GET IT NOW!" Yang angrily yelled.

"Relax Yang. Anna has two face-downs, and from experience, I sure Anna is safe." Weiss said, with a slight grudge against traps.

"Those trap cards do pose a threat to me. Well, until now. I play my other face-down, Trap Stun! This card negates all other trap effects on the field for this turn. Too bad so sad." Grand Kuma said.

"NO!" RWBY and JNPR shouted all at once.

"She's got nothing." Sun panicked.

Trap Stun

Trap Card: Normal

Trap Stun showed a trap card shooting out three bolts of electricity at three other trap cards nullifying their effects. The card then shot out to bolts of electricity paralyzing Anna's trap cards for a turn. Everyone was horrified that there was a card that stop trap cards. Ruby meanwhile watching from the Graveyard, and recovering from her attack, wanted that card the next time she went up against Yang.

"With nothing in my way, my Lead Yokes will pulverize you! The Lead Yoke with 3000 ATK points will strike first! Grand Upper Cut!" Grand Kuma yelled.

The first Lead Yoke started running up to Anna, and then deliver an upper cut sending her flying off the ground as she landed on her back.

"AAAAGGGGHHHH! *cough*" Anna screamed and coughed as that last attack was severe.

Everyone, even Cinder and her lackeys winced at the hit she received, taking into account that the facts that this girl wasn't has physically fit as they are, and that she had no aura whatsoever, that attack had to hurt big time.

"Come on Anna! Get up girl, you can do it!" Zack said trying to encourage Anna.

Anna Yuno: 3500LP – 3000LP = 500LP

"The final blow! I attack with the second Lead Yoke! Grand Upper-cut!" Grand Kuma yelled.

"I can't watch." Oscar covered his eyes as Kali hugged Ghira and looked away.

The Lead Yoke then began charging at Anna, and everyone just stared with anxiety that Anna was about to lose. In the graveyard, Ruby and Blake were watching the duel as they were recovering from their attacks. Ruby had an ice pack on her stomach, and Blake was twitching a bit from the electricity. They then watched in horror as the last attack was about to hit. That was until they saw a black pig running across the black void towards the fight.

Whatever panic and tension there was in the room vanished at the drop of a hat when they saw what had to be a duel monster run past the huntress' on-screen.

"A pig?" Ruby asked, with a look of sheer confusion taking over her face.

"Why was it running?" Weiss wondered.

"Was that a pig?" Blake asked, surprised of what she saw.

"I guess?" Ruby said, as she was confused on what a pig was doing in the graveyard.

Anna then used all the strength she had to activate her countermeasure.

"I play the effect of Bacon Saver in my graveyard!" Anna yelled, as black portal appeared in front of her.

A small black pig with a yellow line on its body then emerged from the graveyard.

Bacon Saver

Level 2: Attribute Dark

Zombie/Effect

ATK: 700 DEF: 600

"A PIG!" Everyone screamed, as they eyes went blank, and their jaws dropped.

"You sent him to the graveyard with your spell card. So by banishing Bacon Saver from my graveyard, I can negate any occurring attack, like that Lead Yoke with 3800 attack points. Do your thing Bacon Saver!" Anna said, pointing her finger at it.

The Bacon Saver then ran towards the charging Lead Yoke, and then somehow spat out its own skeleton, grossing everyone out, which then collided with Lead Yoke, as he was force to fall back.

Any tension that could've weaseled its way into the room was snuffed out by the fact that everyone was grossed out of their minds at what just happened.

"It... spat out its own skeleton, to stop the attack." James summed up the events that transpired.

"There's not a drink on the surface of the planet that could make me drunk enough for this ubsurdity." Qrow said with his face in his hands.

Everyone was silent until Nora spoke up. "Even I can't find anything to say to that insanity." Nora muttered gripping her head, hoping she wasn't insane.

Glynda took a deep breath and pressed her hands together. "I get that she's safe, but that doesn't change the fact that I had to see... that." Glynda said. "And on top of all that I HAVE seen, all I can say is..." Glynda then facepalmed as she finished her thoughts. "I give up, I'm done trying to understand and wrap my head around the realism of Duel Monsters." She said blankly. "I GIVE UP!" She finished with a shout.

"I'll never look at pigs the same way again." Weiss said, shocked at what the pig just did.

"Agreed." Weiss and Winter said together, agreeing with Weiss's on-screen counterpart.

"That monster is sure dedicated to its name. Saving the Bacon of others." Yang said.

"You got that right." Yang said nodding.

"Arrrgh. Play one card face down to end my turn." Grand Kuma said, as his attack was stopped, by a pig.

Turn 7: Anna Yuno

Anna Yuno: 500LP vs Grand Kuma: 3675LP

Anna Yuno Hand 0: vs Grand Kuma Hand: 0

Anna found it hard to stand up. Being in a darkness barrier made the damage intense. She had a couple of bruises in some areas. But she manage to pick herself back up, and keep going. She then started smiling with a face that said "I'm going to win".

"Huh?" Ozpin saw the smile on her face with confusion present in his face. "She's smiling?" Ozpin asked.

"I don't get it what is with you human. How are you smiling when the chances of winning are low?" Grand Kuma asked confused.

"Well, I think it's because I'm having a great time dueling you." Anna replied.

"What?" Qrow asked. "She's joking, right?" He asked.

"How could she have fun in a moment like this?" Winter asked.

Oscar remembered something about duel monsters for a moment and the though occurred to him. "Wait a moment, is it because..." Oscar trailed off.

"What!? I just hit you full force with a Lead Yoke, and you call that fun?" Grand Kuma said confused.

"Don't get me wrong. I would rather fight without darkness thing, but dueling is what gets my blood pumping. It's also like my stress reliever. Besides from the fact I might die if I lose." Anna said, trying to support herself.

"Come to think of it. You did say Anna has the tendency to freak out at in stressful situations. How come she isn't freaking right now?" Weiss asked Zack.

"It's quite complicated. Dueling to Anna, is like the one thing that helps her calm her nerves, or rather excite them, canceling out her freak out emotions." Zack explained.

"Also, no matter how hard you hit, a duelist always gets back up on his feet. So don't expect me to hold back, just because you got most of my life points." Anna said, as she finally stood straight.

"I thought so." Oscar said, getting everyone's attention. "She's having fun because, despite being in the middle of combat with Duel Monsters, the card game itself is just that, a game." Oscar deduced.

"Oh, that makes sense, because the Grimm weaponizing it, we've forgotten that this is a card game with a lot of depth to it." Jaune noted.

"Yeah, I think I was so stressed out by the Grimm's last turn, I forgot to breathe at certain points actually." Weiss admitted.

It was then that some of the people in the audience took a deep breath to calm their nerves.

"Oh man, that was surprisingly refreshing." Nora muttered.

"I had no idea how badly I needed that." Qrow admitted.

"Yeah, I needed that too, in all honestly." Ren agreed.

"You are quite insightful for a boy your age, Oscar." Ozpin complemented Oscar.

"Oh, ummm... don't mention it." Oscar awkwardly accepted the compliment.

Cinder couldn't help but feel a though there was more to that as to why the boy was here, but she couldn't pin down a proper reason.

Yang liked the way how this girl thinks. Just keep getting back up till you're out of energy or until your win. A lot of people didn't agree with that logic, but it was good logic to her.

"This girl got spunk." Yang said, smiling at her.

"I believe it's my turn. I draw! To start my comeback, I play the spell card Pot of Greed! Now I can draw two more cards. Here goes nothing." Anna said, and thought.

Anna then placed her faith in the next two cards she drew. When she saw then she wasn't disappointed.

"What did she draw?" Blake asked.

"Cross your fingers." Nora said as she did so.

"Hey Yang. As much as I don't say it, but want to finish this duel off with…a Yang?" Anna hesitantly said, trying to force a smile on her face.

Yang's eyes had stars in them as she realized where this was going. "Yes... yes... YES!" Yang said, her voice escalating in volume as she began drooling. "TAKE THEM DOWN!" Yang shouted.

"Now were talking! Just get me in there and I'll beat the Yokes." Yang punned.

RWB and JNPR ignored the pun as they were hoping for Anna's big comeback.

Anna tried to ignore the last pun, and then got in her dueling stance.

"Time to go beyond the limit! I activate my face-down, Descending Lost Star! This card revives a Synchro monster from my graveyard in defense mode, with zero defense points, one level lower and its effects negated. So come on back Ruby!" Anna declared.

Descending Lost Star

Trap Card: Normal

Descending Lost Star showed a quadrupedal machine like monster that appear to be technologically advance. A black portal then appeared from the graveyard, as Ruby came back to the field in defense mode.

Red Rose Huntress: Ruby Rose: 2000DEF to 0DEF

7 – 1 = Level 6

"Thanks for bringing me back Anna, but I'm not sure if I'll be much help in this condition." Ruby said.

"Don't worry, you aren't going to be alone, for long. Since I control a Huntress monster on my field, I can special summon RWBY-Soul: Yang Xiao Long from my hand in attack mode!"

RWBY-Soul: Yang Xiao Long

Level 1: Attribute Fire

Warrior/Tuner/Effect

ATK: 500 DEF: 500

"I'm hoping that she can turn it around properly, my tuner form is only level one." Yang noted.

"probably to compensate for your synchro form." Weiss wagered.

Yang then used her gauntlets to launch herself into the battlefield as she held up two fingers for Victory in her hand.

"Yang! You're here! You look quite cute being that size." Ruby happily said.

"I guess. But don't worry Ruby, your big sister is here to help you." Yang said, smiling at Ruby.

"Thanks sis!" Ruby said hugging her tiny older sister, almost crushing her.

"Ruby. Can you let go of me please?" Yang said, as she was able to endure most of the crushing hug.

"Now your counterpart knows how we feel sometimes." Blake snarked.

"You have no idea." Ruby said with a deadpanned expression.

"I then summon my Tuningware to the field in attack mode!" Anna said, placing another monster next to Ruby.

Tuningware

Level 1: Attribute Light

Machine/Effect

ATK: 100 DEF: 300

Tuningware was small little monster that had wire like arms and legs, with an orange body, that was white in the middle. He also wore a yellow scarf, along with a cooking pan on its head, with glowing green eyes.

"Awww, how cute." Nora cooed at the sight of the duel monster.

"Hehe, it is kinda cute, reminds me of-" The screen beat Yang to the punch on what she was saying.

"Tuningware reminds me of you Ruby, when you played superhero by putting a pan on your head." Yang said, teasing Ruby.

Ruby blushed and smiled a little remembering that one time, she dressed up as a superhero.

Yang had a blank expression on her face. "That." She said simply.

"You seriously did that?" Blake asked.

"Yeah, I remember that moment vividly actually." Qrow confirmed.

"Well at least you had the option to goof around to such a capacity." Weiss muttered, though Winter and most of the Faunus in the room were able to hear her.

"Hmmm?" Sienna hummed. "What does she mean by that, I get that the Schnees are a highly sophisticated family in Atlas, but..." Sienna thought.

"I'm not impressed. Your comeback is a joke! What can you do with those weak monsters?" Grand Kuma said.

"I should let you know something. You been standing to close a flame that burn even hotter than the sun." Anna said.

"Huh?" Grand Kuma said, slightly worried now.

"Show him how he loses, Anna!" Yang cheered.

(Play Zexal Sound 4: Duelist Burning Soul) or (Play I Burn)

"Let me show you instead! I tune Level 1 Yang Xiao Long, with Level 1 Tuningware and level 6 Ruby Rose!" Anna said as she extended her arm into the sky.

"She's using Ruby as synchro material." Qrow said, shocked at the strategy.

Yang then launched herself into the sky turning into one green ring. Ruby and Tuningware were then surrounded by the Green ring as their orange outlined bodies turned into a total of seven stars.

"Great burning soul that rampages in battle! Ignite the path to victory!" Anna chanted, as a pillar of light shot through the ring.

1 + 1 + 6 = 8

"I Synchro Summon! Enter the battle! Embodiment of Blazing Spirit! Yellow Flame Huntress: Yang Xiao Long!" Anna yelled placing her new synchro on the field.

Yellow Flame Huntress: Yang Xiao Long

Level 8: Attribute Fire

Warrior/Synchro/Effect

ATK: 2800 DEF 1900

Yang came crashing down, as she put her fists together, smiling. She then stood on the battlefield as a teenage girl with purple eyes, wearing a tan vest with gold piping over a yellow-cut crop top with a black crest that resembles a burning heart. The vest has puffy cap sleeves with black cuffs. She also wore a brown belt with a buckle, a pouch, and a small banner like object. She also wore black shorts under her belt, which resembles a pleated skirt in the back, with and orange scarf. Her foot wear, are brown knee-high platform boots, with orange socks of different length. She also had long blond hair, which is a bit messy, but beautiful in a way.

She then had her bracelets extend forming two gauntlet shotgun weapons known as the Ember Celica, as she then got in her battle stance.

"YeaHAHAHA, there's my awesomeness unveiled." Yang laughed at the sight of her true form.

"It's got to be enough, if the Grimm blocks any of her attacks successfully, he might have a chance to beat Anna." Tai said.

"Take those jerks DOWN, OTHER YANG AND ANNA!" Ruby cheered.

"Now this is more like it. I was a bit worried when I saw my level was one at tuner form." Yang said as she flicked her wrist.

"I know, right." Yang said.

"Due to Tuningware's ability, since he was used for a synchro summoning, I can draw one card. And it's a good one. I now play the equip spell card Assault Armor! I can only play it if I only control one warrior type monster on my field, and that monster gains 300 attack points." Anna explained.

"Oh, that makes sense, with Ruby's level reduced, Tuningware not only made up for the lost level, but also allowed Anna to draw a card." James analyzed.

"Good thinking on her part." Qrow complemented.

Assault Armor

Spell Card: Equip

Assault Armor showed warrior being amped up and glowing with an orange aura. Weiss then notices something about the card.

"That monster on the card. He looks just like him." Weiss said.

"Huh?" RWBY was shocked at what on-screen Weiss said.

"Does your counterpart... know that monster on the card?" Ruby asked her.

"I don't know, but with words like that, it's a possibility." Weiss answered.

"But how does she know him?" Blake asked.

"Maybe he's a partial reason as to why our counterparts are on Earth at all?" Yang thought aloud.

"But what role could that monster have in the grand scheme of things?" Jaune asked.

Yellow Flame Huntress: Yang Xiao Long: 2800ATK + 300ATK = 3100ATK

"Three hundred attack points won't be enough to stop me. And I still have my face down. Sakuretsu Armor." Grand Kuma said and thought.

"Saku-what Armor?" Jaune asked.

"It's a trap that can only be activated upon the attack of a monster, and it destroys any monster that's declaring an attack when the card's activated." Kai told them.

"Uh oh." Yang said as her eyes shrunk at hearing that.

"I activate Assault Armor's other ability! By sending it to the graveyard, the monster that was equipped with it can attack twice for this turn." Anna declared.

When Assault Armor was sent to the graveyard, Yang's body was surround by an orange aura, as she felt more energized then before.

"Yes, now she can battle both of those monsters in the same turn, and if I'm correct, she's got a plan to take them both down now." Tai said with positivity in his voice.

"Sounds like you're getting into the game, huh Tai?" Qrow snarked at the father.

"Oh, stuff it, Qrow." Tai told him.

Yellow Flame Huntress: Yang Xiao Long: 3100ATK – 300ATK = 2800ATK

"I feel like I can take on an entire army!" Yang shouted, as she ready herself to attack.

"I now attack the Lead Yoke with the highest attack point!" Anna declared.

"Wait! Yang has lower attack points! Why is she attacking?" Zack screamed.

Anna and Yang were ready to fight.

"I activate Yang's ability! When she attacks a monster with 2000 or more attack points, I can destroy any spell or trap card, and if it activates, I can negate it." Anna declared.

"That means Sakuretsu Armor is useless now." Ren noted.

"Yes." Jaune celebrated at the trap now-useless status.

Yang then fired a shot from her gauntlet destroying Grand Kuma's face-down. He was shocked at first, but regained his composure.

"That's one defense down." Pyrrha said.

"She's got the momentum." Sun happily commented.

"So what! My Lead Yoke is stronger than your Huntress." Grand Kuma said.

Anna only just smiled.

"Yang has another ability. This one activates when she battles a monster with 3000 or more attack points! Since the Lead Yoke I'm attacking has 3800 attack points, Yang gains attack points equal to halve of the difference of 4000 and my current life points. Since I have 500LP right now, and that makes the difference from my original Life points 3500. Meaning Yang's attack point's rise by 1750." Anna declared.

Yellow Flame Huntress: Yang Xiao Long: 2800 ATK + 1750 ATK = 4550 ATK

"Yes, she can take either one of them down now." Nora said, punching the air.

"Yang's attack points are higher than Lead Yoke's! She can beat it now!" Zack yelled with excitement.

Yang's eyes then turned red, as her hair flared up. She then charged at Lead Yoke and starts attacking him. Lead Yoke evades multiple punches and threw some of his attacks back at Yang. The two than began to trade punches as their fists collides with the other's.

"No matter! I will activate the ability of the Battlin' Boxer Counterpunch I discard to the graveyard. Now by banishing it, Lead Yoke gains another 1000 attack points!" Grand Kuma declared.

Battlin' Boxer Counterpunch

Level 3: Attribute Fire

Warrior/Effect

ATK: 0 DEF: 1100

A black portal then appeared from the ground, and another Boxer monster appeared. He wore a Blue headgear, and blue boxing gloves. His face was covered up by an orange visor, and his upper body had braces, as he wore black shoulder guards, two black gauntlets, and with and black pants. He also had a sharp blade like item attached to his right arm. Counterpunch then send a shock wave towards Lead Yoke powering him up. Lead Yoke then began dodge and block most of Yang's attack as he began to fight back. Yang also had boxing knowledge, as she then step back and dodge and blocked most of Lead Yoke's attacks, and struck back when she could. Everyone watched the intense fight unfold as two boxer based monsters were duking it out. It was quite an amazing scene.

Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke (2): 3800ATK + 1000ATK = 4800ATK

"When did that card get in the graveyard?" Winter asked.

"He must've discarded it with some sort of discard effect and we didn't realize it." Pyrrha deduced.

"There's also that card that summoned Glassjaw, Counterpunch might've been the top card on his deck at the time." Jaune added.

"That's also a possibility." Glynda confirmed.

"But how's she going to turn the battle in her favor now?" Ozpin asked.

"Nice try, but I play my final face-down! Fiery Fervor! This card equips to Yang, and now whenever she battles a monster whose attack points are higher than its original attack strength, Yang's original attack points are doubled!" Anna declared, as she had a smile of confidence.

Fiery Fervor

Trap Card: Normal

Fiery Fervor showed a man surround in flames as four rings surrounded him. The card then shot out four rings, and pairs of two then attached to Yang's gauntlets. Yang then let out a battle cry as she then burst into even hotter flames, as her hair burned even brighter than before, and her eyes glowed even more intensely.

Yellow Flame Huntress: Yang Xiao Long: 4550ATK + 2800ATK = 7350ATK

"7350 ATTACK POINTS!" Grand Kuma yelled, as he was in shock seeing attack points that high.

"WIN THIS THING!" The students of Beacon alongside Oscar and Penny cheered for the on-screen Yang.

"Man. Yang sure is hot." Zack said, as he was fanning himself with a fan.

"Go for it Yang! Show him what team RWBY is made of!" Ruby cheered from the graveyard.

Yang felt even more powerful than before, as she then began striking Lead Yoke with multiple consecutive strikes. Lead Yoke tried to block the attacks, but his guard was broken when Yang gave him an uppercut. She then brought down her right fist smashing it into Lead Yoke's face. Lead Yoke was then destroyed in the explosion, causing damage to Grand Kuma.

"THIS IS FOR HURTING MY SISTER!" Yang yelled, as she destroyed Lead Yoke, causing him to explode.

Grand Kuma: 3675LP – 2550LP = 1125LP

"Strike one." Qrow counted.

"Go for the other one!" Yang exclaimed, giddy at the fact that she was finally seeing those xyz monsters and the Grimm getting clobbered after the pain they put her team and Anna through.

"We're not done yet! Thanks to my assault armor, Yang can make two attacks this turn!" Anna said, while holding up two fingers.

Yang then charged at the remaining Lead Yoke, propelling herself using her gauntlets. Grand Kuma had one final card to play.

"I activate the ability of the Necro Gardna I discarded! By banishing him from my graveyard, I can negate your attack." Grand Kuma desperately yelled.

Necro Gardna

Level 3: Attribute Dark

Warrior/Effect

ATK: 600 DEF: 1300

A phantom like image of Necro Gardna then appeared between Yang and the second Lead Yoke. He had silver armaments on his legs, arms, and the front of his chest. He also wore sharp shoulder pads that were red. His face was also covered up by a red metal mask, and he had long white hair.

"Come on, there's got to be more to this turn." Qrow whispered, hoping that the card the Grimm just played would be stopped.

"That isn't going to happen, because we're going to take you down like a fever! I activate the effect of RWBY-Soul: Yang Xiao Long in my graveyard. Whenever a Huntress would have its attack negated, I can banish this card from my graveyard, to negate that card effect." Anna declared.

"Strike two." Tai said with a smile on his face.

Anna' graveyard then began to shine, as Yang's tuner form came out as a yellow spirit. The yellow spirits then flew towards Necro Gardna at high speeds, and caused an explosion as they collided. When the smoke cleared, Yang now fired up continued her attacked, as she then winked before smashing the final Lead Yoke.

"AND THAT WAS FOR BARBECUING MY PARTNER!" Yang yelled, as she finally avenged her friends.

"Again. They aren't dead Yang. They aren't dead." Weiss said, in a monotone voice.

The final explosion caused Grand Kuma life points to drop to zero as yelled in pain.

"AAAAAGGGUUUGGGHHHHHH! YOU WILL ALL PAY FOR THIS!" Grand Kuma screamed as he then disappeared.

Grand Kuma: 1125LP to 0LP

Winner: Anna Yuno

"Strike three, YOU'RE OUT!" Tai and Qrow cheered before laughing a little.

(End whatever song you decided to play)

With that, the barrier of darkness disappeared, revealing the night sky. Anna then sat down on the ground as she took in a deep breath. She never expected the duel to heat up that much. Ruby and Blake then reappeared in their tuner forms, as they finally recovered from the attack. Yang then came over and extended her hand.

"Come on Anna. You're a winner, and you should be standing up, not sitting down. I never had a battle like that before, and especially been that heated up before. I can say that this duel monsters game certainly is something." Yang said smiling.

"Yeah, it sure is." Anna said, as she grabbed Yang's hand.

"I can say with confidence that I am SOLD on this Duel Monsters card game." Tai declared with a smile on his face.

"Glad to hear it." Qrow said.

"Yeah, it's good to see you on board with us on that." Yang hugged her father.

"Don't mention it, that duel was was awesome." Tai said.

"You kidding, it was incredible." Jaune stated.

"It was amazing how that Fiery Fervor trap actually worked in tandem with Yang's gauntlets." Pyrrha said smiling.

She stumbled around a bit, till Victoria came and helped her up.

"Easy there Anna. You've been through a lot, you can rest easy now." Victoria said to Anna, only to find her sleeping.

"Can't say I'm surprised to see her in that state, she's earned it after all that the duel put her through." Weiss said.

"Getting punched in the gut from an over ten foot tall giant will do that to a person, especially someone without an aura." Blake sarcastically added.

"YOU WERE SO AWESOME YANG! The way you were on fire and how you went toe to toe against those two Lead Yokes was amazing!" Ruby screamed as she held onto her sister's arm.

"You always manage to impress us every single time. It's very normal and accurate of you." Blake said walking up to the gang.

"I have admit that I'm quite impressed with your performance. It was quite a spectacle." Weiss said, as she smiled quite a bit.

"Thanks guys! You all know I always bring a hundred percent when comes to fighting." Yang said.

"And I always aim to do so." Yang said, confirming the statement from her other self.

"Well! I guess we can wrap up this night and call it quits." Zack said smiling, as he was ready to go back to the Yuno's house.

However, Zack accidentally tripped over a small rock as he lost his balance, and fell on top of Yang's back. He quickly then got up, and got on his knees apologizing.

"I'm so sorry Yang, please forgive me!" Zack said, bowing over and over again.

"Don't sweat it Zack. I mean, what kind of man wouldn't…fall…for…me?" Yang said slowly.

Zack didn't know what was going on. Ruby, Weiss and Blake had horrified looks on their faces.

Everyone who knew Yang well enough paled at the sight of on-screen Ruby, Weiss, and Blake's faces.

"He didn't." Jaune muttered.

"He had to have..." Ren said.

"That's not good." Qrow said with his face in his hand.

"Uh, Zack. Your hand." Ruby said, as she was scarred.

"What about it. It looks fine to me." Zack said holding his left hand up.

"Your other hand Zack." Ruby said pointing to his other hand.

When Zack looked at it, he saw he was holding several small strands of yellow hair. He was confused at first, until he saw Yang eyes glowing red, and her hair lightning up. He then remembered that he was told that Yang didn't like it when people ruin her hair.

"He did." Blake confirmed.

"HIT THE DECK!" Ruby and Nora shouted, ducking behind their seats.

"This is either going to be very painful, or very amusing." Mercury said.

"I'm honestly leaning towards painful." Emerald admitted.

"Rest in peace Zack. I'll always remember you." Ruby said, holding up some flowers.

"We'll make sure Anna will always remember you. Do have a will you would like us to hear about?" Weiss said.

"You lived a wonderful young life Zack." Blake said, praying for him.

"That sounds about right, what we'd say at least." Weiss said.

"Yep." Ruby and Blake admitted, with a pop on the 'p' sound.

"WHY ARE YOU GUYS ACTING LIKE I'M ABOUT TO DIE!" Zack yelled.

"YOU'RE GOING TO PAY ZACKERY!" Yang yelled.

"I suggest you start running Zack." Victoria said calmly.

Zack then made a run for it, as he was then chased by an angry Yang, in her battle form.

"I'LL MAKE YOU CRY, YOU HAIR YANKER!" Yang yelled.

"I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS!" Zack yelled as he ran away from Yang.

Winter had a look of shock at how badly Yang was taking the loss of her hair. "Is she... always like that?" Winter asked.

"Only when someone pulls out THAT much hair." Weiss clarified.

"Even worse if they did the deed on purpose." Ruby added.

"Add on the threat of a friend or family member being hurt, and she's at her worst." Blake finished.

"I honestly... hardly have a place to deny all those facts." Yang agreed with what they said.

"And a look from a family member will easily shoot down any denials you might bring up." Tai said.

"Hey, I resent that." Yang said to him.

Zack did survive the wrath of Yang as she did converted back to chibi form. This however didn't prevent the painful smack down he got when Yang caught up to him. All of his organs and bones were intact somehow, and he manage to only get away with several burn marks and multiple bruises. The search for Team RWBY had ended, and the journey had just begun.

End of Chapter 4

"And that's the end of that." Kai declared as he took a bow.

"And team RWBY is finally at full strength." Ruby celebrated.

"Now we can see you guys kick some Grimm butt. TOGETHER!" Nora cheered as the word 'Together' appeared above her in bold letters with a rainbow behind it.

Everyone looked at the word above Nora's head, even Nora herself, with confusion on their faces, only to see Kai's hand inhumanly extending just enough to hold a sign with the word up above the hyper-active girls head. "What, I wanted to set the mood." Kai told them before tossing the sign away, making a crashing sound followed by a cat screech.

"Now, we'll take a break after the next chapter, but before we begin viewing it, there's a BOATLOAD'S worth of people I'm choosing to bring in." Kai told them. "Well, boatload compared to what I've brought in before." Kai clarified.

Kai clapped his hands together and a sphere of light formed in between them, he then slammed his hands down onto it, making it disappear, before raising his right hand up and snapped his fingers, causing a bright light to blind everyone in the room.

Once the light died down, there were new people in the room.

RWBY gasped at the sight of two in particular. "Coco, Velvet." Ruby ran over to them to give them a hug.

"Ruby?" Velvet asked.

"Wha- where the hell are we?" Coco asked.

"Long story short, a movie theater a god in a human's body made." Yang told her.

"Neptune, my man." Sun ran over to his partner.

"Sun, what the heck is this place." Neptune asked.

"It's a long story, man, but believe me, you'll NOT regret staying here." Sun told him.

Neptune raised an eyebrow at this, but went along with it. "Okay, but you owe me big if it isn't." Neptune said, holding his fist out to him.

"Deal." Sun responded, fist-bumping him.

"Now where on Remnant, or for what reason rather, am I here?" Maria asked, the upper part of her prosthetics lowering into a narrowed eyebrow position.

"I don't know who exactly you are, but if you're here, he must have a good reason." Qrow said to the old lady.

"Yeesh, there'd better be a good reason." That was the voice the got everyone in the room to face a certain ginger-haired crimelord and his ice-cream themed accomplice.

"Roman Torchwick?!" James shouted, wishing he had his weapon with him on impulse.

"What's he doing here?" Winter demanded.

"Now, now, everyone, calm down." Kai ordered calmly. "Despite all that they've done and wish to do, believe you me when I say that these two have every right to be here as you all do." Their host told them.

Yang was distraught by this. "Wha- but, how can you say that after all they've done, what they're willing to do?" The blonde asked.

"They ought to be in a cell for ALL that they've done up till now." James exclaimed.

"Man, you really know how to make a person feel welcome, don't ya?" Roman sarcastically added.

That got him a bonk on the head from Kai himself. "Ouch, watch the hat." Roman snapped at him.

"Don't push your luck, Jack." Kai said to him before turning to everyone. "I can understand why you're angry, but I promise you there's a good reason for his being here." Kai assured them.

"And that is?" Ruby asked.

"I won't spoil it now, as real the reason why, I'll show you after this next viewing, along with catching everyone who didn't see the prologue of this little story up to speed." Kai told them all. "But all I WILL say is this." Kai leaned in before speaking up.

"He's as much a victim as you all are... in the grand scheme of things." Kai ominously said. "Isn't that right? Oz, General, Goodwitch and Qrow?" Kai said with a single closed eye to them.

The four mentioned people noticeably flinched at this, making most people, especially Ruby and Yang, Qrow's family, look at them. "Qrow, what is he tal-" Ruby's question was interrupted by Kai.

"Stop right there." Kai calmly ordered. "I'm going to calmly ask that all questions directed at them be withheld until AFTER this next viewing." Kai told them.

"What's this viewing you mentioned though?" Velvet asked.

"Why don't you ask them?" Kai asked her back, gesturing to the students of Beacon.

"Well..." Jaune stepped up to the plate. "It all begins like this..." Jaune started giving them a rundown on what transpired up till now.

Meanwhile, as this happened, Ozpin was thinking about why Kai had called out not just him, but EVERYONE in his inner circle. "Is he planning on... telling EVERYONE here... about it?" Ozpin asked himself.

...

This was promised so long ago that I can't BEGIN to apologize enough, but that would be redundant given just how much I do that, and believe me, even when I'm not doing these little author's notes, I apologize a lot in real life.

But even so, I pray that you all like this chapter and are looking forward to the next one.

And another thing, because it's almost the end of Summer, schools are starting up, and with that said, I'll be going to college very soon, so whether or not I'll be able to publish quickly or slowly will be up for debate.

With that said however... there's something else that will be out on the same day this comes out, so be on watch for it, I pray it's something people can enjoy... eventually.

I'll also be updating my profile so that you can tell what's coming out next, all I'll say on that subject in particular is that I've decided it will not be a chapter for Huntsmen of Erdrea sadly, but it will be something that most of you've wanted for a LONG time.
