…

The new additions to the cast in the room were gobsmacked at what had been explained to them by RWBY and JNPR. "Sooooo… you're saying that we were brought to watch other versions of you fight in... a card game?" Roman asked with her jaw dropped and a raised eyebrow expressing her shock.

"And you say that this card game is a lot more than just simple slips of paper?" Maria asked for clarity.

"I can assure you, you're gonna be amazed with how this story of our other selves is unfolding." Weiss assured them.

"Yeah, even you, Torchwick." Sun commented.

Neo looked at Roman, who looked back at her, and only shrugged in response as Roman sighed. "This had better be worth my time." Roman said, agreeing to go along with what was going on.

"Well, as long as this doesn't actively destroy us or anything like that, I don't see why we can't have a little fun watching this." Velvet concluded.

"Well, If you're in, so am I, Velvet." Coco said, going along with her.

"If Sun thinks it's cool, then I won't doubt him on that for a moment." Neptune agreed as well.

Most eyes fell on Maria, who smiled as she said. "Do you even have to ask? I got plenty of free time, so I might as well see what's so good about this card game."

"Okay! You lot are going to love this one. I promise you that." Kai declares as everyone takes their seats, and newcomers are sitting on new chairs courtesy of Kai as the screen lights up.

Anna found herself floating in a strange place, which seemed to be like space. She looked around, as examine the spectacle around her. A bright light then flashed behind her, as Anna shield her eyes from the flash. When she looked up, she saw a figure standing in the light. Anna couldn't see who the figure was, since he or she was standing behind the light. The figure then held up several cards in his or her hand that were shining in his or her hand. The cards then floated towards Anna, as they shined even brighter than before, engulfing the area in light. Anna then found herself lying on her bed. She realized she had another strange dream.

"So this is the Anna girl you lot were talking about?" Maria questions as she takes a good look at the said girl.

"Woah… what's up with all that?" Neptune asks in awe and confusion in the strange dream that the newcomers were all thinking in their minds.

"Beats me, buddy. This wasn't the first strange dream that happened." Sun shrugs as he recalls the other dreams the others told him about.

"Why do dreams also have to be so vague? Can't they just get straight to the point?" Anna thought to herself.

"Is that normal for having dreams?" Penny innocently asks.

"Not for me! I remember my dreams perfectly!" Nora grinned as her friends and teammates recalled the time she told them about a dream during their lunchtime in Beacon, which Ren kept correcting, which is odd because he would have dreamt it too.

When she tried to get up, her body ached, and she could barely sit up straight. It felt like her entire body went to the GYM for 7 days straight with no rest at all.

"The poor girl has been dulling for four days straight." Tai comments, seeing that the last duel was intense.

"I don't get it. Can a card game really hurt you?" Coco questions as she raises a brow behind her shades.

"That normally would not be the case if not for the Grimm she constantly faces." Penny points out.

"I see you're awake." A voice said in the corner.

Anna turned her head to see Blake in a chair reading her book. She looked pretty invested in it. She was reading the Ninjas of Love book. Anna wondered what the Ninjas of Love book was about. From what she heard from Ruby, she described it in one word: filth.

"Oh wow! You look so adorable!" Velvet cooed at the sight of the chibi Faunus

"I know right? Isn't my baby girl the cutest?" Kali cooed at her daughter, making said daughter blush in embarrassment.

"Mom!"

"You read that in broad daylight?" Roman raises a brow while Neo makes a teasing grin at the Faunus girl, making her look away in annoyance with slight hint of red on her cheeks.

"I would appreciate it if YOU don't talk to my daughter." Ghira narrowed his eyes threateningly towards the thief, who just shrugged it off, not affected by his glare.

"I just say what I say." Roman said back to him.

"What happened last night? The last thing I remember was attacking a Lead Yoke with Yang. After that everything just- tch." Anna said, as she winced at her pain.

"She doesn't remember using my card to win?" Yang says, a bit surprised and a bit disappointed and sad that her other's new friend doesn't remember her awesome victory.

"She did take a lot of herself in that last duel Yang. I'm honestly surprised that she's able to stand." Blake says to her partner.

Yang sighs as she slumps in her seat in understanding. "I know…"

"I suggest you take it easy. The Dark Duels that you participate in seem to inflict heavy damage onto your body. I'm surprised you able to stand up after getting hit like that, especially without aura." Blake said, still reading her book.

"Oh yeah. Remind me to never take up boxing. I'm sure I would get K.O. in a real match." Anna said.

"It's still impressive in itself as someone as Anna herself can stand up to such punishment without Aura." Ozpin says, praising Anna's durability and will.

"It may not be actual combat, but it is an achievement." James added in agreement.

"I'm sure you would. I'll go get the others, and let them know you're okay." Blake said, as she exited the room.

When Blake left the room, Anna then felt something in her hands. After pulling back the covers, she saw that she holding several Blank cards. She then realized that these were the same cards from the same dream she had. It must have meant something, but she wonder why they were blank.

"Hey! Aren't those the same cards from the dream? How did they get there?" Oscar says in surprise, as well as the others.

"Spoilers." Kai cryptically says, not wanting to spoil them.

"Could you at least tell us the purpose of those Blank cards?" Weiss questioned in slight annoyance.

"It's exactly as it looks like. They're Blank Duel Monster Cards that anyone can make up and design for themselves." Kai explains, getting everyone interested in the purpose of the said cards.

"Really?! You mean Anna can make new cards for our others?" Ruby questions in excitement along with her teammates at the idea of possibly getting cards that could support their others.

"That's something you'll all have to find out yourselves." Kai said, smiling at how Ruby was pouting and not getting a straight answer from him.

"I have some of the craziest dreams. So what is up with these blank cards anyway?" Anna asked herself.

"She doesn't know what they are?" Ren asks.

"You don't really see cards like that at all, honestly." Kai shrugs.

The door to her room then burst open as multiple rose petals came flying in. A little red chibi then came flying into the room and then appeared in front of Anna, and standing on her bed jumping up and down.

"Anna! I'm so glad to see that you're alright! I was so worried last night when Victoria said that you were in bad shape. So are you feeling any better?" Ruby asked, as she was happy to see her friend awake.

"I certainly hope you don't actually do that to people currently recovering, Ms. Rose." Glynda sternly questions her student.

"N-No! No, I do not!" Ruby stuttered, which was obviously a lie.

"Get off the bed Ruby. You have to let Anna rest, and she can't recover with you jumping around her room." Weiss said, as she appeared next to Ruby, pulling on her ear.

"Okay! Okay! I get it Weiss! Just please let go of my ear!" Ruby pleaded.

Weiss giggled at the sight of what her other was doing. "Don't you worry, Ms. Goodwitch. As you can see, she won't be doing that."

"Hey!" Her partner pouted in embarrassment seeing her teammates smirking at her.

"Good to know." Glynda smiled.

Anna giggled just a bit seeing the scene unfold before her. Yang then came into the room, and she was just as energetic as ever.

"Hey there Anna! How you doing? Don't answer, because I already know what you're going to say. Anyway, the way you took that punch from Grand Kuma's monster was amazing. And the second best part was when you stop his attack, WITH A PIG! Bwahhhhahahha!" Yang laughed, thinking it was funny to use a pig to save the day.

"Oh yeah, thinking about it was funny." Nora laughed about the whole pig thing while the younger audience laughed at the memory.

"I still find it crazy that there's a card that involves a pig of all things." Weiss says she still finds it hard to believe what she witnessed after seeing what Bacon Saver could do.

"Uhh… what are guys talking about?" Neptune asks, confused about the pig thing.

"Oh, dude! It's a card called Bacon Saver that saves you from the last second by spitting out its own skeleton!" Sun cheerfully says, getting weirded-out looks from the newcomers.

"Oh yeah. That's just about the same expression we all made." Qrow chuckled, seeing their reactions.

"I'm starting to have second thoughts here." Roman muttered to Neo while slowly nodding, also weirded-out by the thought of seeing a pig spitting out skeletons to protect people.

"Yeah! It is pretty funny when you think about it!" Ruby said, as she failed to hold back her laughter.

Ruby then started laughing as well, now that she thought how funny it was to use a pig to stop an attack. Weiss just though it was completely ridiculous that one pig could stop a lethal attack, let alone spit out its own skeleton.

"I guess it is. So I'm guessing first place was the part when you attacked." Anna said.

"Are you kidding me!? It was amazing! I was literally on fire, and I never felt that strong before in life! The ability that this game gave me, is similar to my semblance. This duel monsters game is both funny and awesome at the same time." Yang said, as Anna was almost overwhelmed by her excitement.

"Yeah! Just imagine if we can do all that in our world!" Jaune says, excited at the idea that supports like that can boost their Aura or Semblance or give him some power since he hasn't discovered his semblance yet.

"Yes… that's quite an idea, isn't it?" Cinder made a small smile at the idea of obtaining more power. After seeing four past duels, she is keen on learning how to obtain them.

"That is a curious idea." Ozpin says curious is they can replicate that idea for facing against Salem.

"Yeah! Yang was all like: Kaboom, Kapow, and Bam! And Lead Yoke was all like: Blarrgh! You made my sister look awesome!" Ruby yelled, as her eyes had stars in them.

"Yeah! I was hot! Literally!" Yang grinned while the others just groaned in annoyance at her pun.

"We already heard that, Yang…" Blake says in annoyance.

"I can say as much as I want!" Yang told them.

"Sigh… you can stop the Ice Queen nickname, but you can't stop the puns…" Weiss said in a low tone.

Weiss rolled her eyes, at the silliness of what her teammates were doing, but smiled as it was slightly amusing to her. She then remember the tactic that Anna used to win the duel. The spell card Assault Armor. A monster was shown on that card looked exactly like him. To clarify her answer, she then decided to ask Anna about it.

"Anna. There is something I need to…" Weiss said, until Zack came bursting through the room, throwing her off guard.

"Anna! Great to see you're A-Okay!" Zack yelled, surprising Weiss.

"And there goes knowing what the card is." Weiss huffed, annoyed at Zack's timing.

"What's this about?" Maria asks.

"In the previous viewing, a card called Assault Armor had an image of a particular character on it." Winter explains to the elderly.

"What character is it?" Velvet curiously asks.

"Spoilers." Kai said, getting a few annoyed grunts from the audience.

"Nice to see you too-. Zack. What in the blazes happened to you!?" Anna said, shocked of how Zack looked.

Zack had multiple bandages on his head, arms, several burn marks on his body, and a couple of bandages on his cheeks, and one on his noise. Anna couldn't tell, but there were also bandages underneath his shirt.

"Whoa! So this is Zack? Yeash… what happened to him?" Coco says, slightly moving her shades to have a good look at the poor sap.

"Poor guy looks like he just got out from a ringer." Ilia winced, seeing the kid look all beaten up.

"I think I know…" Tai sighed, knowing who was responsible for that.

"Long story. So you feeling okay now?" Zack asked, walking towards the bed.

"You're asking me if I'm okay!? I should be the one concerned about you! You look like you just got into a fist fight and lost horribly!" Anna yelled, mortified by Zack's appearance.

"…Oh…" Yang muttered as she finally realized why Zack was all beaten up. She regretfully shrunk on her seat, hoping Zack was not too angry with her.

"Well. It's more like a beat-down, rather than a fight." Zack said, scratching his head.

"What happened?" Anna asked.

"Let's just say I got into a hairy situation, and it heated up real quickly." Zack punned, snickering.

"Whoa, he made a double pun." Yang grinned a bit, feeling a bit less guilty.

"Really? You're seriously ignoring the fact that your other beat up Zack for touching your hair?" Weiss raised a brow.

"Hey! You all know how precious my hair is!" Yang defends herself.

"We need to do something about that problem." Qrow whispers to her brother-in-law, knowing how Yang easily snaps whenever anyone toucher her hair intentionally or not.

"I know…" Tai whispered, sighing. He knows that her daughter has lovely hair and understands why she would snap when anyone touches it, but he's also afraid of how reckless she gets and how that could backfire on her.

He then found a gauntlet up to his face. Anna then remembered that anyone who touched Yang's hair, pays the ultimate price.

"While I respect you double pun in one sentence. Don't, pun, about, my hair, ever. You understand?" Yang said, in a menacing voice, as her eyes turned red.

"Yes ma'am!" Zack said, as he did not want to feel the wrath of Yang.

Everyone else laugh at the Yang and Zack's situation. Yang eventually forgave Zack, and apologized for going berserk on him. They then had a good laugh about it, and the two immediately began making puns. They even started their own pun book. Ruby tried to burn it, but it was protected in a secure box, with several stink serum bombs.

Some of the younger audience laughed at the scene, while some of the adults honestly didn't approve of the unnecessary violence.

"Well, I'm glad that they hit it off well." Yang smiled at her other and Zack's friendship.

"And it seems violence wins friendship." Sienna slightly grins at that topic while Blake and her father give a slight glare at the High Leader at her comment.

"They seriously made a pun book?" Mercury says in slight annoyance, honestly not a fan of the blonde's constant puns during their time in Beacon.

"I know…" Emerald agrees in slight annoyance as well.

"Well, as long as you're alive, I can be glad about that. By the way, where's Blake and Victoria?" Anna asked.

"Oh. Victoria is busy making you breakfast and Blake is seeing how she is doing." Ruby said.

"I wonder how well that's going." Anna said, worried what was going on in the kitchen.

"After seeing how Victoria cooks, it could be anything." Ren comments.

"Is her cooking bad?" Neptune asks.

"Her way of cooking is… bizarre, but there was a time when she made a full-course sushi meal." Kali says, slightly drooling at the previous viewings.

"My other was lucky…" Blake grumbles, seeing that her other gets to eat all that mouthwatering fish.

"Relax Anna. It's only bacon and eggs, and no one can mess up bacon and eggs." Yang replied.

"Oh, the classic breakfast dish." Tai said.

"Betting something bad will happen." Qrow adds.

Blake then flew in into the door, and there were eggs bits on her face. Victoria then followed behind as she had egg bits on top of her head as well.

"Sorry Anna. Victoria messed up the bacon and eggs." Blake replied, in a monotone voice.

"I stand corrected." Yang said.

"How is that even possible?" James questioned, even though he knew how to cook that simple dish himself.

"What happen this time Victoria?" Anna asked, in a deadpanned tone.

"Well, I did what you said, which was to crack the eggs. I just happened to use the eggs that I was experimenting on during my free time. The eggs that I used were dipped in a special bacteria, that when heated up start to multiply. I didn't noticed since I was cooking the bacon, but the eggs started to grow at an intense pace. Luckily, Blake saw what was happening and she immediately began cutting up the eggs, saving me from being buried under a 10 foot pile of scramble eggs." Victoria said.

"…What?" almost everyone says, gobsmacked at what they just heard.

"Is that girl a mad scientist or something?" Jaune questions, finding the whole thing bizarre.

"We did watch that time with the meatloaf." Pyrrha reminded her partner.

"Oh yeah…"

"And I thought I heard everything…" Maria comments.

"I never thought I would see the day where I would had to fight eggs to survive." Blake said, as she brushed some eggs off her head.

"So, I decided to bring you cereal instead. Rice Krispies, or Cinnamon Toast Crunch?" Victoria asked, pulling the cereal out of no-where.

"What the? Where did those come from?" Neptune raises his eyes in shock along with the newcomers.

"Are my eyes broken or something?" Maria asks while she slightly taps her prosthetic eyes, checking if what she saw was real.

"She did it with a chalkboard in the previous viewing." Penny comments, making them even more confused by that comment.

"Toast crunch. So now that all of team RWBY is here, what do we do now?" Anna asked.

"Not to worry Anna, because our fearless leader, yours truly, has the plans on her scroll. Now I'll just take it out." Ruby said grinning.

"Yes! Even in another world, my other just loves to make plans." Ruby cheered at the idea of her other.

"Always good to make plans." Ozpin nods in approval.

Ruby then reached into her pocket, only to feel nothing. She searched for a while, finding nothing. Everyone shot looks at her.

"Uh oh…" Oscars says, knowing well what that reaction means.

"Actually, I think it's in my other pocket! Just give me one second. Where is it? It's got to be in here!" Ruby said.

Ruby dug through her pockets pulling out multiple cookie rations, bullets, a crumpled up weapons magazine, and what appears to be set of handcuffs. Ruby frantically searched her pockets, desperately looking for her scroll.

"When did you get handcuffs?" Tai questions her daughter after seeing the last part coming out of her daughter's pockets.

"Uncle Qrow gave them to me as a gift for getting into Beacon." Ruby happily answered, making a few adults look at the drunk.

"What? It's not like she's going to abuse them." Qrow shrugs, not seeing the problem of giving her niece handcuffs.

"You had handcuffs all this time?" Weiss questions her partner with a raised brow.

"You never asked." Ruby shrugs.

"Don't tell me that are fearless leader has lost her scroll?" Weiss said.

"Well maybe. Sort of. Okay! I admit I lost my scroll! I must have lost it when we came here." Ruby sadly said.

"Oh no! My other's scroll is gone!" Ruby panicked a little.

"I wonder what happened to it." Penny titled her head.

"At this point, I'm not surprised that you're still somewhat irresponsible at times. However, unlike you, I happen to keep track of my things." Weiss said, as she reached into her pocket.

"Fortunately, my other can solve that problem." Weiss proudly says.

After shifting around in her pocket, Weiss couldn't feel her Scroll. Ruby then looked at Weiss, crossing her arms, and then decides to imitate her.

"You were saying, Schnee?" Ilia mocked with a slight grin.

Said girl just 'hmphed' and looked away but with a slight red on her cheeks.

"Oh, look at me. I'm Weiss Schnee. I'm so responsible. I can take care of my things. I'm so much better at organization." Ruby mocked.

"Really?" Weiss says in annoyance.

"Well, it's your own fault for acting all high and mighty!" Ruby huffs.

"We all tend to make mistakes. I just make less mistakes than you." Weiss argued back.

"Yeah right. What about you Blake?" Ruby asked.

"Sorry. But I don't have my scroll. The most likely reason is that we lost them during the collision we had when we came to this world." Blake said.

"If you're going to ask me, don't expect much. I got nothing." Yang replied.

Team RWBY then realized that they now how no idea what to do without their scrolls. They were now in this world without a clue of what to do. This won't stop them from doing whatever they have to do, but it was going to be a lot more difficult. Weiss secretly blamed Ruby.

"So we lost all our scrolls." Blake pointed out.

"Hopefully, they don't go to the wrong hands." Yang says she does not want her stuff being taken.

"Can you even use scrolls in another world?" Velvet questions whether they can use scrolls to communicate from world to world.

"That's a good question." Penny says, curious if scrolls can receive signals in another world.

"Well, not much we can do about it. I guess we can just lay low for now." Blake said.

Anna then decided to speak up.

"Blake's right you guys. I think you should all just-tch!" Anna said, as she wince from her pain.

"Anna! You're still hurt! Don't worry. I know what will make you feel better." Ruby said getting an idea.

"That girl must have gone through a ringer to end up like that." Coco comments.

"You should have seen her duels when she used us! She was like going all superhero!" Ruby cheered happily at the memories when her team used Synchro Summoned and their Effects.

Ruby then used her semblance to rush out of the room. She then came back holding several items in her hands.

"Here we go, I got you everything you need. A whole glass of milk. My favorite game Kung-Fu Ninja Slayer Death Battle 2. The first one was way better though. And finally, a motivational cat picture. Meow." Ruby said.

"Oh hey! You remember my healing method." Tai smiles at her daughter's method to help Anna.

"Yup!" Said daughter smiled cheerfully.

"That is not something you give for someone to recover." Winter comments.

"Why the cat picture?" Jaune questioned. He got the other stuff for relaxing in bed and all but was confused about the picture.

"Oh, that last part was an idea from Beacon." Yang grinned while Blake just glared at the memory.

"Errr, why?" Zack asked Blake, seeing the poster was her on a tight rope, with the words, Hang in there.

"Uhh… why…?" Ilia was confused and secretly found the poster cute but was cut off by Blake before she could question it.

"I don't want to talk about it." Blake replied, instantly shutting her up.

"I don't want to talk about it." Blake replied, as she glared angrily at the poster.

"Oh, hey an echo." Sun chuckled at the coincidental line getting Blake to blush embarrassingly.

"Ruby. Anna doesn't need all this. All she need is some rest. Besides, she can't play the game without our scrolls." Weiss said.

"I strongly agree with myself." Weiss proudly says.

"Agreed. That's not the best kind of way to recover." Glynda agrees.

"Well, 2 out of 3 is still good. Also, I told you this before, but this is what my dad did when I didn't feel good, and it would always make me feel better. *cough*. Right Yang?" Ruby said.

"Yeah! Trust us Anna! You will start feeling better in no time." Yang said, holding a thumb up.

"Not to question your parenting, but is that the only thing you know?" Kali kindly asks.

"It's the thought that counts. And as long as you slip medicine into their milk glass without them knowing." Tai answers and whispers the last part to her making her giggle at the brilliant idea.

Weiss gave Anna a look that told her to just go with it. Ruby and Yang's method of getting better was questionable, but it was the thought that counts. She would drink the milk, but decided not to hang the poster, knowing Blake might not like it. The Anna's D-tablet then started ringing. The caller ID showed it was her parents.

"It's mom and dad!" Anna yelled.

This got everyone's attention at hearing Anna's yelling.

"So, we finally get to see Anna and Victoria's parents." Ghira says, curious about what kind of parents they are since they made their daughters see Duel Spirits.

"I was curious as to wonder where the parents are." Maria comments.

"Kai said that their parents are currently in Egypt, a country in their world. There are both Archeologists." Penny explained to the newcomers.

"Now that you mention it, I haven't seen your parents. Where exactly are they?" Weiss asked, Victoria.

"Oh. Our parents are archeologists, and they are currently in ancient Egypt, working in a dig site. One time, our dad almost brought back a cursed artifact. Our mom was able to decipher the text in time, before the scarab beetles ate everybody." Victoria explained.

"What!? They nearly got eaten up by beetles?" Nora shuddered at the idea of being eaten alive by beetles.

"They must be quite adventurous Archeologists." Sun says, thinking that Anna's parents are cool.

Team RWBY just sweat dropped at the fact their father almost got everyone killed, just by taking an artifact home. Zack heard the story already, but it was still funny to him. The screen was blank for a couple of seconds, then a face then appeared in front.

"Is this thing on? Uh, hello? Anyone home? Are you still alive Anna? Vicky?" A male voice said.

"I think you have the feedback camera off Alex." A female voice said.

"Oh. Thanks Spark." The man named Alex said.

"So their names are Alex and Spark." Blake said.

"Is Spark really the mom's name? it sounds unique." Pyrrha tilted her head.

"In my opinion, your names are all unique since you based them on things that represent color." Kai answered.

"So your father's name is Alex, and your mother's name is Spark? That's a unique name for a woman." Blake said.

"I think it's a nice name." Ruby said.

"Of course you do." Blake said, sarcastically.

"Blake, be nice to your friends." Kali lectures her daughter.

"Yes, mom…" Blake mutters, earning a giggle or chuckle from her friends.

When the monitor zoomed out, two adults in their mid-40s. The man known as Alex Yuno, had short blond hair, two small brown eyes, and he had a small bandage on his left cheek. He was also wearing an archeologist vest with a white shirt underneath, with brown pants. He also appeared to have a belt with a variety of tools, which are mostly used for digging up artifacts or examining them. The woman that was next to him, was Spark Yuno. She had long hair that was bright red, two blue eyes, and she wore an archeologist vest, as Alex did, along with short shorts. She too had a belt of various equipment as well.

"So these are the Yunos." Ozpin comments.

"They seem nice." Glynda adds.

"Hey Spark, I think we just found two treasures, and they are ours for the keeping. Alex said, gesturing towards Anna and Victoria.

"Oh, you're such a jokester." Spark said, rolling her eyes.

"Oh! That was a good one." Tai laughs at the pun and liking at the idea of seeing their children as treasures.

"It certainly is." Ghira smiles in approval.

"Hi dad, hi mom. How is your dig going?" Anna asked.

"Everything is going pretty well girls. This excavation is going smoothly." Alex replied.

"You mean to tell me that accidently triggering four traps on our last exploration in the ruins translates to, smoothly. And it wasn't even 5 minutes yet. If it weren't for me, you would have arrows where your eyes would be, and your body would be melted in a puddle of acid." Spark said, with a sly smile.

"You don't have to say it in front of the girls." Alex said, with a sadden look.

"Wow… they sound like they came out from an action movie." Oscar comments, recalling those movies he once watched.

"Well, it's good to see you're still alive and not sleeping with the kings." Victoria said.

"Wow, they're all weird." Mercury whispers.

"Guess it runs in the family." Emerald agrees.

The Yuno family then started laughing at what Victoria said. Team RWBY just watched the weird conversation unfold. Victoria told their parents about the meatloaf monster, and Spark told them they were attacked by an angry group of camels. Team RWBY just stared at family with blank looks, after hearing the weird and crazy stories they just exchanged.

"This is an interesting family." Weiss whispered to her team.

"What's a camel?" Ruby asked.

"Is that an animal?" Blake asks.

Kai answers by showing a picture of the animal to them.

"Wow… it kinda looks like a horse but with a huge lump on its back." Jaune says as he stares at the picture in fascination.

"Believe it or not, this kind of animal can survive the long desserts like Vacuo. Perfect travel companions if you ask me." Kai answers, getting a fascinated look from everyone.

Alex and Spark settled down, till they noticed Zack in the room.

"Zack. Nice to see you're doing well. You're not causing any trouble for my daughters, are you?" Alex said.

"No sir! I'm taking care of them with the greatest of my abilities." Zack said, saluting.

"He certainly did." Mercury grinned at how he handled saving Ruby and Weiss.

"From what I seen, Zack's best is pretty mediocre." Blake said.

"He did save us from that robber." Ruby said, trying to defend Zack.

"He tied us up in the process." Weiss said, remembering that moment.

"At least he has a nice personality." Yang said.

"Wow… you girls don't hesitate with the jabs, don't ya?" Coco raised a brow at the Team RWBY, making them chuckle nervously at how their others answered without hesitation.

Alex and Spark the noticed Anna's injuries.

"Anna. What in the world happened to you? Its looks like you went toe to toe with a boxer, and got K.O. as soon as the gong went off." Alex said.

"That was surprisingly accurate." Emerald blinked at how right the father was.

"I suppose being an Archeologist can give you keen insight." Cinder comments, slightly impressed at the father's deduction skills.

"He has no idea how accurate that is." Zack thought.

"Wonder how she'll explain that." Sienna said, curious at how the girl will explain her previous duels.

Anna tried to come up with something in her mind. She couldn't just say that she was dueling monsters that came from a different dimension. Not only did it sound dangerous, but nobody would actually believe her. It would just sound outright ridiculous. Luckily for her, Victoria knows how to work under pressure.

"Anna was walking home from school yesterday, and she tripped over a rock near the city river. She fell down the hill, and the ground was so ruff, that she got a couple of bruises. Zack was there to help her, so I was able to patch her up in time, when he got her home." Victoria explained, as her face was still calm.

"Yeah…that's exactly what happened!" Anna said quickly.

Alex and Spark thought about it for a moment, and decided to just go with it.

"Ok then. Just promise us that you try and be more careful next time. Alright Anna?" Spark said.

"Yes mom." Anna replied.

"That was a good cover-up she made up." James comments. As simple as it is, the older sister acted accordingly.

"Alright then. Well, your mother and I have to go now. We have to do a video session for a documentary video of ancient Egypt." Alex said.

"We just have to make sure we don't sound boring again. The last video we made was so boring that it was primarily used for to put people to sleep that had a hard time sleeping. I think that we tried too hard to sound smart." Spark said.

"They're making a documentary?" Winter says, impressed at the achievement.

"For a weird family, they are sure good at achieving things." Qrow admitted.

"It was that boring?" Blake questioned.

"No documentary can be that boring." Weiss said, not believing it.

"They said some people fell asleep." Nora added.

"Documentaries are still boring either way to me." Ruby said.

"That depends on who you are." Ren adds.

"It can't be as bad as Professors Port's lectures." Yang said.

"YANG!" All the Beacon students shouted at her in horror at the blatant disrespect in front of the Beacon professors.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Yang quickly apologizes, hoping she won't get in trouble.

"Your fine, Ms. Xiao Long. Just don't say that in front of Professor Port." Ozpin said, amused at Yang looking all nervous.

"Alright! Bye dad. Bye mom." Anna said, waving goodbye.

"Just be more careful Anna. A future duelist can't duel with a broken body and spirit." Alex said.

"And an archeologist can't do his job if he is buried under the ruins." Victoria said back.

"Very funny Vicky. Very funny." Alex said.

"Come on Alex. Let's get going now. Bye girls." Spark said, as she waved goodbye.

"Bye." Anna and Victoria said.

"They seem very nice." Kali smiled.

"They certainly are." Ghira smiled as well.

The monitor then turned black. Team RWBY were glad that these two girls had a nice family. Although some of their conversation was quite weird, it was touching to the girls.

They then realized that Zack wasn't part of this family.

"Hey Zack. Why are you here all of the time? Where is your family?" Ruby asked, now curious.

"Huh… now that she mentioned it, we have no idea about Zack's family." Pyrrha says, curious about who Zack's family is.

"My mom and dad are chaperoning my younger sister's field trip. They should be coming home this afternoon. I also have an older brother, but he lives in the dorms of his college." Zack explained.

"Oh, so they are all away." Velvet said.

"Oh really. So what is your family like?" Yang asked.

"Let's just say that we are an interesting group of people. My dad and mom are unique in their own way, but you have to see them to believe me. My little sister Mia is very curious of the world, and tries to learn anything that interests her. She's also in middle school in the sixth grade. She's really friendly, unless you get on her bad side, which is the opposite of you Ruby." Zack said.

"You mean like Weiss?" Ruby asked.

"Hey!" Weiss retorted.

"More like a mini-Weiss." Yang grinned.

"Hey!" The viewing Weiss retorted.

"I wonder what kind of parents are for Zack to say that." Jaune asks.

"I wouldn't go that far. Anyway, my older brother is pretty strict most of the time. He usually calls the place from time to time, to make sure nothing is going haywire. You could say, he keeps the house from going over the edge." Zack said, as he scratch his head.

"Just like how Weiss keeps Ruby in check." Blake said.

"Well, he sounds interesting." Winter comments, curious about who the elder sibling is.

"Got someone you like?" Qrow grinned at the eldest Schnee.

"Please. I know nothing about the man." Winter just scoffs.

"No argument there." Weiss said, with her arms crossed.

"So what about you guys? What's your family like?" Zack asked.

At that moment, RWBY became silent. Ruby and Yang looked at each other with worried looks. Weiss had a face that look troublesome. Blake was unsure of what to say. Victoria takes notices of this, and tries to change the subject.

"…what's up with a silent treatment?" Roman raised a brow even Neo noticed the troubled looks from their Team RWBY and their folks.

"Wait a moment! I think we should all let Anna rest right now. Weiss said she does need rest, and that is a smart suggestion. So maybe we should all get out." Victoria said.

"Can I ask Anna a couple of things first?" Zack asked.

"Fine. But not too long Zack. Come girls, we shall leave first." Victoria said

Team RWBY sighed a relief, glad that their others didn't need to explain something a bit personal.

While Zack stayed behind, team RWBY and Victoria left the room first. Victoria was about to head downstairs to think of what to do next, until she was stopped by Blake.

"Alright Victoria. What's was that back there?" Blake asked.

"Really? Wasn't it that obvious?" Emerald questions with a raised brow.

"You do realize she did that because she noticed your reactions." Ilia added.

Victoria was silent for a moment until she decided to speak.

"Anna and Zack didn't take noticed of your expressions at the mentioning of your family. They probably took it as a sign of hesitation of what to talk about. I however am more familiar with social interactions. It's clear that talking about family for you guys is uncomfortable. I don't know what happened, but until you're ready, you girls don't have to say anything." Victoria said.

"That's very thoughtful and considerate of her." Glynda says.

"Personal things should not be said until said people are comfortable." Ozpin agrees.

On the other hand, Kai just gives a deadpanned glare to the Headmaster of Beacon.

"Well, Anna is our duelist. So I think she has the right to know." Yang said, thinking about it.

"Totally. She's a cool girl. Right girls?" Yang agreed with her others, while her teammates also agreed happily.

"By the way. Thanks for your consideration Victoria." Weiss said.

Victoria just smiled at the girls, as all four smiled back. Zack then came out of the door ruining the moment.

"Hey guys! What did I miss?" Zack asked.

"Nothing he needs to know yet." Blake said.

"Nothing important." Weiss said, turning her head.

"Zack. I need you to run down to the store and get me these items on the list. Here's the cash needed to buy it." Victoria said, handing Zack a shopping list, and the exact amount of cash needed to buy it.

"You can count on me Vic. I'll be back in a jiffy!" Zack said, as he went down stairs.

"He's so obedient and excitable at the smallest things." Emerald said, starting to find the boy annoying.

"Oh, and take Weiss with you." Victoria said.

"Wait! Why me?" Weiss asked.

"Wait! Why me?" Weiss asked.

"Ha! Another echo." Yang laughed.

"Shut it you!" Weiss snapped.

"Because I need someone responsible to look out for Zack, just in case if he forgets. You're the smartest of the group as well. You wouldn't want me to send Ruby with him." Victoria said, with a smile.

"That, is quite true." Weiss said, admitting defeat.

"Aww! Looks like Weiss gets to be Zack's partner for the day!" Nora laughed at the idea.

"I cannot deny Victoria's arguments." Ren added.

"Ugh… why…?" Weiss groaned in annoyance.

"Victoria sure does make good arguments. No wonder she's smart." Ruby said, and a little peeved of what Victoria said at the end.

"That I can approve." Winter nods, thinking she is a good influence on her sibling.

"But she still can't make bacon and eggs for some reason." Blake said.

"The girl can be unpredictable when it comes to the kitchen." Kali adds.

"Alright then! Come one Weiss. Let's shop! Zack away!" Zack exclaimed.

Zack then picked up Weiss' card and then dashed out of the door dragging Weiss with him.

"ZACK! SLOW DOWN!" Weiss yelled, as she pulled at her own free will.

Zack then mounted on his bike and headed out, as Weiss held onto his shirt.

"Yeah! I like this guy's enthusiasm." Sun, the other students, and a few others laughed at Weiss's situation.

"Ugh… why…?" Weiss groaned in annoyance.

(Grimm Cave)

The Liege was sitting in this throne, and was very unhappy. So far, he stubbed his toe this morning, breakfast exploded in his face, he had to hire a new Grim cook (he killed the last one), and now he just received notice that Grand Kuma had been defeated. It was not a good day for him.

The newcomers widen their eyes in shock, seeing the humanoid Grimm.

"Whoa… so… that's the Grimm you guys talked about?" Velvet nervously says, seeing the Grimm for the first time.

"Yeah… got us scared too when we first saw them. That right there is the leader of them." Ruby said.

"I wonder if that could hurt them." Maria questioned, wondering if Silver Eyes could hurt these particular Grimm.

"That big guy doesn't seem happy at all." Coco added slightly, gulping a bit.

"Uh…Liege. Are you okay?" The Beowolf asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay. It's all gloom and thunderstorms today. Oh wait, it isn't. You know why?" Liege asked, as voice became demonic.

"Wow… for a big scary guy, I honestly was not excepting him to sound sarcastic." Roman blinked a couple of times, not expecting the Grimm to act that way.

Neo found it funny.

"Is that a trick question? Because I know why, but I not sure if I should answer." The Beowolf shutter with fear.

"Come on. Tell me." The liege said, getting off his throne.

"We…lost four times…in a row…to Anna Yuno and the huntresses." The Beowolf said.

"THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT!" Liege yelled, as he kicked the Beowolf in the face.

The Beowolf was then sent flying across the room, as he then crashed into a wall, and a barrel fell on his head out of no-where, knocking him out. The Liege then went back to his throne as he then sat back down. The Beowolf quickly regain consciousness, as he then raised his arm in the air.

Some of the audience flinched at the sudden action and winced at the Beowolf getting hurt.

"Wait. Where did that barrel come from?" Neptune questioned.

"Things are just popping out of nowhere now." Tai added, getting really spooked about things popping out and whatnot.

"I…do have…good news…sir." The Beowolf said.

"Really. Then tell me what it is right now?" Liege said, intrigued.

"Before Grand Kuma lost, he was able to injure the duelist severally. Our examiners say she should be recovering right now." The Beowolf replied.

Some of the audience gasped and grimaced at where this was coming from.

"Oh no…" Ruby muttered, paled a bit at what was about to come.

The Liege thought about this for a moment. He then created a smile underneath his helmet.

"This is good news indeed." Liege said.

"It would seem this would be the perfect opportunity to strike while Anna is recovering." Cinder comments.

"That's not good…" Jaune nervously says.

"Does this mean you'll attack the huntresses?" The Beowolf asked.

"Of course. However, the only reason why we attacked them in the first place was to see if we could make our jobs easier. Apparently we failed, so our mission here will be much harder. So, what'll do is send a squadron of Grim to the city to this place. Also, we'll send a Grim to try and take out Anna Yuno in the process. I know just the Grim to can drag her to the pits of despair. In the mean-time, we must also focus on our mission at hand. Dealing with Anna Yuno is our second priority for now. Go tell the Grim-Ops to test this Black-Shot device, and bring me Eddie Terror." Liege said.

"Looks like they are starting to move their plans now." Winter narrowed her eyes.

"Indeed. I understand the objective of targeting Anna now that she has proven to be a threat." James added.

"But we yet to know what their main objective is." Ozpin added.

The Liege then handed the Beowolf a right hand-arm glove. It was different from an ordinary glove, as it had wires that were attached to the finger parts, and a glowing dark core on the palm. For an added terror design, it also had sharp edges on it, and a red orb on the back of the arm part of the glove. The Beowolf then exited the building, with the glove in hand. The doors then opened up, as the room was filled with a dark mist. Then a jack -in-the-box music tone played in the background, as a figure appeared through the door, and almost everything we wore had spikes. This Grim wore black pants, with a belt with spikes. The front of his shoes had snake fangs sticking out. He wore chest armor, resembling that of a mouth, with an eye in the center. He also wore shoulder pads that resembled masks that looked like they were in pain. He had multiple red orbs on his jacket. His face had red eyes with black pupils, and he had multiple rows of sharp teeth, just like a shark. He also had long black hair that extended towards his waist. This was Eddie Terror. The Grim that earned the nickname of "The Nightmare of Huntsmen".

"You wanted to see me?" Eddie asked.

Almost everyone shuddered at the sight of the new Grimm's entrance.

"Okay… that was undoubtedly the most disturbing thing I have ever seen." Roman says, slightly disturbed at the scary Grimm. Neo, however, titled her head. Honestly, she found the Grimm kind of cool.

"Is it weird for me to admit that these humanoid Grimm have… colorful personalities?" Oscar said.

"Yeah… they almost act as if they're… human." Penny said, getting a nervous reaction from everyone.

"First of all: Nice music. It really goes with your demonic looks, when you make those scary dramatic entrances. Second of all: you have your assignment today. I built a deck for you, and I want you to use it against Anna, and anyone who stands by her." Liege said.

Liege then handed the deck he materialized in his hand to Eddie. Eddie then examined the contents of the deck, and he didn't look to please, making a snarl at it.

"I take it those are Duel Monster cards?" Neptune questions.

"Yup. Though I'm about curious and a bit scared about what kind of cards this one will use." Sun answered.

"What is this? A toy shop?" Eddie asked rhetorically.

"Toys? What could be frightening about toys?" Sienna questions rhetorically.

"Look at the extra deck." Liege said, pointing to the refer cards.

Eddie then examined the extra deck, and his expression then soon change to one of sinister joy, as he grinned at the cards he was looking at.

"That doesn't look good." Ruby nervously said.

"Well, I guess you can't just judge a book by its cover. So Anna Yuno is the target, correct?" Eddie said.

"Who else?" Liege asked.

"May I suggest anyone who is an ally with this Anna Yuno?" Eddie asked, sinisterly.

"Bastard!" Coco narrowed her eyes at the Grimm.

"He better not get anywhere near Anna's family or us!" Yang growled as her eyes turned red.

"Do what you will. Family or friend, there is no exception to anyone who is allied to Anna. Just make sure you beat her, and claim the huntresses." Liege said.

"Oh, I'll do more than beat her. I'll break her spirit." Eddie said, sadistically.

"I hope Anna can fight back." Penny said.

"But she's still recovering." Oscar said.

"She may not have a choice for the matter." Winter grimly said.

(Yuno Residence)

At Yuno residence, Victoria was looking on her D-tablet, looking up how to make an herbal remedy to heal Anna. Blake was just in the living room reading her book. Ruby was looking at Anna's cards to familiarize herself with the deck she was going to be used in, and she consider this the only time she had study so hard. Yang was sitting down on the table with Victoria and was chatting with her about small things.

"So you took out a gigantic war machine, after getting hit by it two times, absorb the damage using your aura, and destroyed it with one punch? That is pretty impressive." Victoria said, studying her tablet.

"Oh hey! This is the item when we beat Roman in that war machine." Yang proudly says as she grins at Roman and Neo's loss.

"Laugh it up blonde. In the end, you didn't catch me." Roman scoffed, getting an annoyed look from Yang at that fact.

"I'm still going to make you talk about how you stole that tech." James narrowed his eyes at the thief but just shrugged it off.

Unknown to them, Cinder just grins at their predicament.

"Yeah. Sometimes, I even surprise myself. You know, it is very quiet when Weiss isn't around yelling at us all the time." Yang said, stretching her arms out.

"Hey!" Weiss shouted, getting a laugh at how true it was from the others.

"You should spend an entire day with Zack. That kid is like a bottomless energy canister. Always trying to live to the extreme. Always trying to finish what he starts. It's quite admirable, in a way." Victoria said.

"Is he?" Velvet asks.

"He does have his moments." Pyrrha answered.

"Weiss may yell at us a lot, but I guess it's just because she just trying to look out for us. Making sure that we don't accidently blow up a city block." Yang said.

"Yup! Out of all of us, she the softest." Ruby smiled, getting a blush from her partner.

"I wonder how does two are doing anyway. The way we talk about them sounds liked we mixed oil with water." Victoria said, as she turn her head in curiosity.

"I'm sure they're fine. Opposite due tend to attract." Yang said.

"Betting it's going to be crazy." Sun chuckled.

(Jewel City Convenience Store)

"I'm telling you Weiss we got everything." Zack complained.

"Tea leaves?" Weiss asked, with a glare.

"Yes." Zack replied, having a tic on his head.

"Medical herbs?" Weiss asked, as she stared even more.

"Lock and loaded." Zack replied, twitching his eye.

"Bandages and ointment?" Weiss asked, as she wasn't convinced.

"Check and check. Now stop asking me questions!" Zack yelled.

Zack and Weiss had finished shopping for the supplies that Victoria needed to treat Anna's injuries. It would have been okay for Zack, if Weiss hadn't kept on criticizing most of his actions. Maybe he did compare the items a little longer than was needed, and it was weird for a fifteen year old to be riding on a shopping card, by putting his feet on the axles of the back wheels. But Weiss just did it in a way that seem so annoying, it just sucked up all the fun. Weiss least favorite part was when Zack had to go to the bathroom. Weiss said he had to use the first stall in order to stay out of bathroom, as she refused to step into the men's bathroom. Zack wasn't listening as he really need to go, after drinking a jumbo soda he bought with his own money. What happen was that Zack ended up using the stall farthest from the entrance, causing Weiss to be press against the door with massive pressure, as she was so close to her movement range around her card. There also happen to be a moment where Zack order an ice cream for him and Weiss to share. No one else was around, so they could eat, without anyone seeing a floating spoon. This would have gone well, if Zack didn't put tobasco sauce on the ice cream, burning Weiss' mouth.

"Well, they certainly had an adventure." Kali giggled at the duo's interaction.

"You two look like you're having fun." Winter mused at the sight of them.

"What is wrong with him?" Weiss groans in annoying embarrassment as she covers her face with her hands.

"Out of all the boys I have meet, you are far by the most improper out of all of them. Who puts hot sauce on ice cream!?" Weiss said.

'Blasphemy!' Neo held up a sign which made Roman raise a brow.

"Where did you get that?" Neo pointed at Kai, who just waved back.

"Weiss, listen. If there is one thing you should know about me, is that I like to live life to greatest extreme possible. You just got to live more once in a while." Zack said, pointing his right index finger in the air.

"Never been more truthful." Qrow says, liking Zack's way of thinking.

"Honestly. You need to have more constraint on your actions. You can't just go rushing everything that is placed in front of you." Weiss said crossing her arms.

"Precisely! You have to plan things out in your life." Weiss raises her hands up in annoyance.

"Alright Weiss, I copy. You know. I find it relaxing talking to you. For some reason." Zack said, looking up.

"And why is that?" Weiss asked.

"It's just you have a different view point from me, making you different. If everyone on in the world was the same, then life as we know it wouldn't be interesting at all." Zack said.

"I would rather prefer to have things less interesting, depending on your definition of it. But what you say does hold merit." Weiss said.

"…what am I seeing here?" Ruby blinked a couple of times, confused at what she had just witnessed along with her friends.

"I have no idea…" Yang was just as speechless.

Zack and Weiss just looked at each other and smile, (Zack had a goofier one).

"So we good?" Zack asked.

"I suppose. But if you ever burn my tongue ever again, I will freeze your head." Weiss said.

"Got it." Zack said, a little terrified.

"…Oh my gosh… did Weiss find her best friend aside from Ruby?" Blake's jaws dropped at that revelation.

"That's-! I-! What?!" Weiss shouted, stuttering in disbelief.

"Wow, Weiss, you found yourself a good friend." Nora smiled.

"Yay! My besty found her own besty!" Ruby joined in.

"Stop it! This is not-, just stop!" Weiss tries to deny it, but she is too embarrassed to counter what they are saying.

"You okay with this?" Qrow asks the stoic Winter.

"Still not sure." Winter answers, still debating if Zack is a good influence on her younger sister.

As Weiss and Zack reconcile, Zack put his arm around Weiss' shoulder, as she immediately gave him a cold look to tell him to let go. At that point. Weiss then felt something strong, and dark. She then saw a dark aura flying through the sky, going in the same direction they were. Zack takes notice of Weiss expression, and then sees the dark apparition.

"Zack! It's the Grimm! They're going to attack everyone back at the house!" Weiss exclaimed.

"Oh, crud it's there!" Sun pointed out.

"Thankfully, it hasn't found Anna and the other yet." Neptune added but was also worried.

"Drat. And at a time like this. Anna may be a skilled duelist, but she is in no condition to duel. If she were to duel, she wouldn't be able to withstand any kind of attack that game of darkness had to offer." Zack said, clenching the shopping bag.

"Even Zack admits it." Pyrrha says, growing even more worried.

"We have to warn them. Call them on your D-Tablet." Weiss said, turning her head towards Zack.

"Smart, better to warn them before the Grimm arrives." Penny said.

Only to be dragged off again forcefully, as Zack immediately mounted his bike and began pedaling as fast he could. Weiss was now clinging onto his shoulder, to avoid being dragged around like a rag doll.

"Oh c'mon!" Weiss shouted in annoyance about being dragged again.

"This is bad. I won't be able to make it in time! Weiss, do you have a plan!?" Zack said, as he pedal furiously.

"Looks like he's going to do the long way." Ren said, slightly disappointed that Zack wouldn't contact Anna instead.

"The kid is probably panicking too much to think properly." Qrow suggested.

Weiss then started to look around her environments. She saw a triangular truck ramp that was used for transporting cars. Weiss had no intention of using it, but she realized there was no other way.

"I have something in mind, but it's completely stupid, and probably an idea Ruby would do." Weiss said, concern of what came to her head.

"A stupid idea? Weiss? Making one?" Ruby slowly said, finding it hard to believe in putting those words together.

"My idea can't be that stupid! Will it?" Weiss says but thinks carefully when her other see the things to make her plan.

"Hey, some plans are so stupid, that they actually work." Zack said.

"You should see our plan during initiation! It was stupid that it worked!" Ruby proudly says.

"What kind of stupid plan?" Winter questions.

"I'll tell you later, sister!" Weiss quickly says.

"I'm going to regret this. Alright Zack, you just have to listen to me. Think you can do that?" Weiss said.

"Weiss. My friend is about to be attacked by a monster, and you're the only option I have; of course I'm listening!" Zack said.

"Yeah! Go do whatever it is!" Yang cheered.

"Alright then, here goes. It will be a miracle if I live through this ordeal." Weiss said and thought as she prepared her Myrtenaster.

"Head for that ramp!" Weiss yelled.

"I don't know what you're doing Weiss. But any plan that involves me riding towards a ramp, is an awesome plan." Zack said, as he started pedaling even faster.

"It's also the stupidest plan. But I'm afraid stupid is my only option. Hang on Zack." Weiss said.

Weiss then used Myrtenaster to create a glyph underneath Zack's bike, which resembled that of a clock. Zack felt himself getting faster and faster by the second. Weiss then made a row of glyphs in front of her, as Zack then felt his body becoming lighter. Zack then grinned intensely, as he knew what he was going to do will be awesome. At the moment reached the ramp at full speed, he flew straight into the air.

"Whoa!" All the students say in amazement.

"Very imaginative." Ozpin nods in aproval.

"Gotta love the kid's confidence!" Tai chuckled, seeing how excited Zack looked without using Aura.

"Now this what I call falling with style!" Zack yelled.

"Just get us back in one piece!" Weiss yelled, as she continued making glyphs for Zack to land on mid-flight.

"Hang on Anna. I'm coming." Zack thought, hoping he would make it in time.

"Yeah! Go Zack and Weiss!" Ruby cheered.

(Yuno Residence)

It was almost nighttime as the sun was just about to set. Anna was feeling a little better, and was allowed to be out of bed as long as she didn't do anything reckless and was giving tips of deck building to Ruby and Yang. Ruby and Yang were building decks for a small friendly sibling duel, using cards that Anna had in her card inventory. Blake meanwhile was wondering how they were going to know what to do without their scrolls. She borrowed Anna's D-tablet to research more about this Jewel city. There was also the fact that Anna doesn't have the luxury to help all the time, as she has her own social life, and helping team RWBY is one of many. Victoria was in her room studying for an upcoming test, and listening to classical music to help her study. She also told Anna not to disturb her, unless it was an emergency.

"You're so going down Yang." Ruby said, as she picked her cards.

"In your dreams Ruby, cause this deck is going crush you so badly." Yang said, as she smirked.

"So, they're actually trying out dueling themselves?" Ozpin commented.

"Wow, that's pretty cool, I wonder what we'd have to to have Duel Monsters in our world?" Jaune asked.

Kai silently looked away from the viewing audience as a thought floated through his head. "I reluctantly can think of a few things…" He thought, keeping the information about the aptly named "Remnants of the End" universe confidential.

Blake in the meanwhile was surfing the web seeing what she could find.

"I wonder what the internet of that world looks like anyways?" Winter muttered.

"Hey, is it possible for you to show us some of that stuff?" Ruby asked Kai.

Kai only froze in place as his eyes twitched and the air around him seemed to glitch and darken as the sound of distorted audio mixed with the cries of children and painful screaming was heard.

This creeped everyone, even people around Ozpin and Cinder out, until it suddenly stopped as Kai took a deep breath. "I am going to say this in the kindest way I can." He said before he answered. "No, no way, not in a million eons, and not while I'm alive." Kai definitively told her.

Ruby tried to speak. "But wh-"

"No."

"Bu-"

"I said… NO!" Kai with a furrowed brow. "We're continuing on."

Everyone was weirded out by Kai's seriousness on the subject of this world's version of the internet, when James voiced everyone's thoughts. "Are the contents of that world's internet really that bad?" He asked.

"I'd… rather not go into detail on that subject. At all if I may be frank." Kai answered cryptically.

"So this place is famous for its gem mines, interesting. Also, how is it possible for the stars to shine like diamonds here?" Blake said, as she was amazed by the pictures of the starry nights.

"Hey Blake. You sure you don't want to play with us? Anna said that we are allowed to have a three way duel. I'm sure it would be fun." Yang asked, waving her hand at Blake.

"Wait… Duels can involve multiple people participating at one time?" Blake asked Kai.

"Oh yeah, there's barely any notable limit on how many people can participate in a single duel, and there can even be teams of duelists facing each other at one time, those being called tag duels." Kai explained.

"Wow, those sound like they involve teamwork of a high calibur." Pyrrha commented on the idea.

"Yep, I've even seen moments where there's a battle royale system involved that treats all players, even ones technically on the same side, as your opponent, which either work to a certain party's advantage or backfire on certain strategies." Kai added.

"That definitely sounds like it'll require good synergy from players to work around." Winter said.

"Yang. The duel monsters game may be our way of combat here, but I'm not in the mood to play right now." Blake said, still focusing on the tablet.

"Not even if it involved ninjas?" Yang said, showing Blake the Strike Ninja card.

The card showed a ninja garbed warrior who had yellow bandages on his arms, and the bottom of his legs, red knee pads, a red scarf and a mask that a three point star ornament on his head, a golden part that showed his red eyes, and a his red mouth piece. He also wielded two kunais, as he moving so fast leaving behind afterimages. Blake slightly blushed at the monster as she had a soft spot for ninjas. Yang smirked at her partner's reaction, and Blake quickly shakes her head and turns away in embarrassment.

"Curse you Yang." Blake said under her voice.

Blake gasped at the card. "There are ninjas in this card game?" She asked excitedly.

"We've seen demons, warriors, and freaking mechs as monsters before this point, is that really all that surprising?" Nora asked her.

Blake was about to retort, but only found herself saying. "Touché."

Ruby and Anna, snickered at the scene and went back to what they were doing. While Blake was looking at Anna's D-tablet. She saw multiple photos of her and Zack doing things together as friends. She smiled at Anna and Zack's friendship. But was weirded out by the stuff they were doing. One picture showed them squirting each other with ketchup, while another picture shows them dressed as secret agents.

Nora giggled at the sight of the two kids squirting ketchup at each other. "Hehehe, those two are such good friends." She commented.

Ren smiled at the sight of them dressed as secret agents. "They do make a nice pair." He added.

"Indeed, I haven't such a harmonic duo of friends in quite some time." Maria said with a smile.

"Even if you count Zack slapping Anna across the face in the last chapter on that front." Qrow joked.

"A weird, but yet touching, friendship." Blake said, smiling nervously at the pics.

Ruby, Blake and Yang then all sense something sinister. They stopped what they were doing and immediately went on the offensive drawing out their weapons.

"What's going on girls?" Anna asked.

"It's a Grimm. It's close by." Ruby said, now alert.

Everyone of the Beacon students and Ozpin's circle, as well as the new arrivals, had a lump appear in their throats at the hearing of this. "Oh no…" Ruby squeaked hearing this.

"How're they going to fend him off with Anna in her state?" Nora asked in slight panic as nothing had happened yet.

"That Zack fella had better hurry or their goose is cooked." Roman commented.

"It sure does have a wonderful sense of timing." Blake said sarcastically.

Suddenly, the air turned cold, as the front entrance of the door flew opened. Dark mist then began to flood the room, as the lights went out. It was quiet, but sinister at the same time. Ruby, Blake, and Yang looked for anything that moved. For some reason, Jack-In-The-Box music played. Just then, Anna felt something behind her. She then turned her head around slowly, and saw a nightmarish creature. Its eyes glowed red with black pupils, as it showed multiple rows of sharp teeth. It also had an eye in the middle of its chest that looked evil.

"Hello little girl. Up for a challenge?" The creature asked.

"I think I've developed a slight phobia for Jack-In-The-Box music now." Jaune muttered.

Emerald leaned over to Cinder and asked. "Tyrian cannot know about this, or he'll milk it to no end." She muttered.

Cinder nodded. "Agreed." She whispered.

Anna stepped back in fear, knowing she couldn't take him on in her condition. Ruby then turned into a flurry of petals, and then rushed towards the grimm. Ruby manage to stab the monster, but he didn't seem to be fazed. He just smiled, and chuckled.

"Heh. That tickles." The Grimm said.

"He didn't even flinch from that?!" Coco asked, shocked at the Grimm being so durable.

"If normal Grimm were like that, we'd be screwed." Neptune said with a grim look on her face.

Ruby clenched her teeth, as she then jumped back to evade the Grimm's swipe. Blake then ran towards the Grim, as she tied its left leg, and begin swinging around the Grimm, firing multiple shots at it. This however had little effect on the Grim as it flinched just a bit at the shots. What he didn't expect was a little yellow huntress to deliver an uppercut to his face. This sent him flying back, as he did not suspect the surprise attack. The only causality was the sofa, which split in two.

"That should keep him comfortable for a while." Yang said.

"We have to get away from here, and fast." Blake said, dusting her clothes.

Everyone was getting nervous, or in the case of Cinder's posse, they were simply curious as to what would happen, even with the Grimm temporarily down, Anna was still in danger. "Blake's right, if they don't book it, they're ALL doomed." Sun said with dread.

"But how's Anna going to outrun that thing?" Weiss asked, clueless.

"Zack had better hurry his butt over there." Tai said, pressing his thumbs together.

"Don't worry girls. I can take him. And even without Weiss, I can beat him." Anna said, getting her D-Tablet.

"Anna. We all know you can dish it out. But after everything that has happened to you. I'm not sure if you can take it." Ruby said, concerned about her friend.

"But…" Anna said, until she felt a jolt of pain in her left arm, as she then dropped her tablet.

"Those other versions of you are right, if she tries dueling now, her body would barely hold up after a strong gust of wind." Qrow commented, with a wince at Anna's pain.

"We are going, and that's final." Yang said, sounding a bit more serious.

Yang then grabbed Anna by the arm, and pulled her out of the door as Ruby and Blake then followed. The Grimm then regained consciousness quickly as he then rubbed his head.

"You can run, but you can't hide." The Grimm said, as he turned into a swirl of black mist, and headed out the door.

That looked an awful lot like what the Geist Grimm is capable of." Maria noted, looking back on her (not currently known) experience as a Huntress.

"You're not wrong, that mist is similar to the mist trails the Geists leave behind when they move." James said in agreement.

Anna, and RBY were outside but they didn't get that far as the Grimm was able to out speed them and get right in front of them.

"Now wait just a moment. If you think I'm just going to let you go and get away, you got another thing coming." The Grimm said.

"Two questions. One: who are you, and Two: how do you keep finding us!?" Anna yelled.

"To answer the first, I'm Eddie Terror. AKA, Nightmare of Huntsmen. And the second…IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Eddie said, mockingly.

"If they have Nevermore Grimm in humanoid form that are able to fly while out of sight of that world's humans, that WOULD explain how they're able to find them…" Winter began theorizing.

"They've mostly likely been scouting the city for any threats and relaying info on them to their headquarters." Ozpin added.

"And considering that Anna's the only threat against them at the moment, she's number one on their list of priorities." Qrow finished.

"Damn, these Grimm are even more a pain in the ass then any WE deal with on a regular basis." Yang said with a glare.

"Hmph. I guess not all minions will blab about everything." Yang said.

"Now then, either you fight me here in a duel, to savor whatever pride you have left, or you can just give the huntresses to me. As you know I can hurt you, but I can't kill you in this state. And don't think about running, because this darkness barrier prevents you from getting out." Eddie said, pointing to the barrier surrounding him.

Normally, Anna's first instinct would be to grab her D-Tablet and put it on. However, she felt weak and could barely move her arms. Plus, Victoria said that the darkness games inflict real damage to the body, and Anna has already done four. A fifth duel will cause major damage to her body. There was also the fact that if she refused to duel in the arena, Ruby, Blake and Yang would be taken away. She then hesitantly reached for her D-tablet.

"Anna. You can't duel this guy! Your body is in bad shape after all the beatings you've been getting." Yang said, grabbing her arm.

"You're in this mess because of us, and I don't want to lose another person I care about." Ruby said, as she desperately tried to hold back Anna.

Ruby, Yang, Qrow, and Tai grimaced at what Ruby had said, having a hunch as to what she might've been talking about. 'Summer…' Tai thought.

"So what am I supposed to do? Let this guy take you away? Let me remind you that it was my own choice to join this battle, and help you anyway possible. It's the promise of a duelist, to her duel spirits." Anna said, trying to get Yang and Ruby to let go of her.

"She's right." Blake said.

"What are you saying Blake!? Anna could get killed." Yang yelled, as her eyes flickered red for a moment.

"Yeah, that's not just a bad idea, it's a deathwish!" Yang stated.

"If Anna forfeits, the Grimm is allowed to kill her. So if Anna accepts the duel, there may be a guarantee we might survive. However, in her condition, she won't be able to endure much. So either way you look at it, we all have a high probability of being defeated, whether we accept the duel or not." Blake said, as she looked down.

"So their options are either die, or die fighting. I won't deny I'd choose the ladder option in such a scenario." Cinder said solemnly.

"I hate to say it, but I don't think they have much of a fighting chance with Anna in that state." James said with closed eyes.

"Well…that's…" Yang said, trying to make an argument, but accepted what Blake said as true.

"So, what will you do?" Eddie asked, knowing exactly what Anna would do.

Eddie was an experienced Grimm. He knows what a huntsman does and what he thinks. They would sacrifice themselves to save the weak, they would never turn their backs on their friends, and they would certainly never give in to fear. He uses this to his advantage, making the Huntsman suffer by putting them through situations that are so hopeless that it shatters their minds. This is why he earned the nickname, Nightmare of Huntsmen. He made them dread with no hope at all.

"Damn… this Grimm isn't just evil, he's flat-out conniving." Weiss begrudgingly admitted, scowling at this Grimm's level of intelligence.

"How many Grimm are secretly like this on Remnant, I don't think I could handle the numbers…" Blake said.

Ruby looked at Anna, and she saw Anna's resolve to fight, but her fear of failing. Yang clenched her fist knowing that Anna was going to fight no matter what they say. Blake accepted the truth easier than Ruby and Yang did, but she hated it. As Anna reached for her deck, a delivery came.

"INCOMING!" A voice yelled from the sky.

"Huh!?" Almost everyone shouted at the unexpecting timing of the shouting of a familiar voice.

Everyone then directed their attention towards the voice which was behind Anna, and RBY. What they saw was Zack on his bike riding, hoping on the glyphs towards the barrier.

"DID SOMEBODY ORDER A MIRACLE!?" Zack yelled as he was about to crash through the barrier.

Zack's bike then went through the barrier, as he then landed on the ground. Weiss was seen on his shoulder, and all tired out after using her glyphs consecutively. Zack then dismounted from his bike, with his back facing towards Eddie Terror. He then turned around and he put his right fist on his chest.

"I, have arrived." Zack said dramatically, as he extended his left arm out, throwing his right out.

Everyone watching just stared at Zack.

"Nice landing." Sun comments, breaking the silence.

Everyone just stared at him, as he did his pose. Ruby did think it was okay, but now wasn't the time for catchphrases.

Ruby thought it was okay but wasn't sure what to say.

"That was awesome Weiss. We have to do that again sometime." Zack said, carrying Weiss towards her team.

"No. We will not do that…as long as I live." Weiss said, as she was catching her breath.

"Then why bother doing it?" Ilia raised a brow.

"It was a spur of the moment!" Weiss hotly defended herself.

"Weiss! Are you okay? You look like you've been fighting non-stop for days!" Ruby yelled, as she supported her friend.

"I'm fine Ruby. Just a little tired, after getting Zack here." Weiss said slowly.

Zack then went up to Anna.

"More like a marathon if you ask me." Coco quipped, instead of running she used her Semblance to do the running which is impressive for the chibi version of her.

"Zack. What are you doing here?" Anna asked.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm going duel mister ugly over there to protect you." Zack said.

"Ha! Mister ugly." Yang laughed.

"Wait, the kid is going to do the dueling instead?" Roman questioned.

"First of all. I'm not ugly, I'm terrifying. Second of all. Who says you can substitute for Anna?" Eddie asked.

"I doubt big and scary here is going to allow that." Maria grimly says.

"It's in this Darkness game manual book. It says in chapter 5 section A.2 that Anna, and team RWBY can let another person duel for them, if they all agree to the decision. After that, duelist can duel the Grim under same win and lose conditions." Zack explained, as he took out the book out of no-where.

"Wha, there's a handbook for this!?" James incredulously says while everyone else was equally gobsmacked.

"That can't be real." Winter says finding that hard to believe.

"Believe it or not there are rules for everything. Even for this situation." Kai comments.

"There's a handbook for darkness barriers?" Eddie thought.

"Even the Grimm didn't know?" Cinder's eye twitched seeing that even the humanoid Grimm was not aware of this.

"But isn't this a good thing? I mean, Anna doesn't need to duel now." Neptune said, trying to be positive.

Upon hearing this, team RWBY realized there was now a third option. They could have Zack step in, and have him duel. But they were quite unsure if Zack was up for the challenge. Usually, most of his actions have been questionable, not in a bad way, just questionable. Ruby and Weiss remember the bandit moment, where Zack tried to save them, but failed to keep them comfortable in the process. Blake almost killed him because of the way he carried Ruby and Weiss, and Yang nearly demolished him because he accidently yanked her hair. But what choice did they have. It was to go with the glass-canon Anna, or whatever Zack was made out of.

"Are you guys seriously doubting Zack?" Kali questioned, slightly disappointed at the girls making Team RWBY flinch.

"No! it's just… I think it's because those versions of us have never seen him duel before." Ruby quickly defended themselves trying to say it in the nicest way.

"Zack is goofy, but he doesn't seem bad." Weiss said being honest.

"He's friendly and loyal." Blake added.

"He's cool dude who likes my puns." Yang chirped.

"THAT'S why you believe in him?" Velvet and Coco asked as Coco's glasses lowered a little from the fact.

"You girls having doubts?" Anna asked.

Team RWBY then turned their attention towards Anna, who was being supported by Zack.

"Don't worry. Zack will take care of this. After all, I trust him." Anna said.

Team RWBY realized that Anna has known Zack for a longer time than they had. They all then came to an agreement to let Zack duel in Anna's place.

"If Anna has this much faith in Zack, then I see no reason why you shouldn't do the same." Pyrrha said.

"Your right. Zack did go all this way with Weiss to reach Anna." Nora added.

"Alright Zackery. We will let you duel, but you better make sure you get a victory." Weiss said staring at him.

"We're counting on you, but no pressure or anything." Blake said, with a calm expression.

"As much as I would want to fight, guess I have no choice but pass the baton. You better be good at this duel monsters game." Yang said smiling at him.

"That right Zack, just win…with…your…deck." Ruby said as she then realized something.

"AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Ruby squealed with excitement, surprising your teammates.

"What's wrong Ruby?" Yang asked.

Almost everyone flinched at the sudden squealing that chibi Ruby did.

"Why are you screaming?" Velvet asked as her ears hurt a bit from the sudden screaming.

"I don't know! Maybe it has to… do… with… Zack's…" Now Ruby was starting to realize why her other was so excited that she started squealing but unlike her chibi self she held it.

"Now why are you squealing?" Weiss questioned her partner getting slightly annoyed.

"I JUST REMEMBERED THAT ZACK USES A DECK FULL OF SUPERHEROES! NOW WE GET SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO!" Ruby squealed.

"YES! THAT'S WHY!" Ruby squealed as those who watched the earlier viewing now remembered what Zack's deck is based on.

"His deck is based on superheroes?" Neptune asked with growing interest.

"We did see five monsters that are based on heroes, Elemental Heroes, I believe they are called." Ren remembered.

"Well, isn't that adorable." Roman sarcastically said.

"Not as adorable as when my sister imagined these heroes kicking your butt." Yang grinned remembering how silly and awesome it was.

"What?" Roman just blurted out in confusion while Neo was silently giggling at the idea of that.

"Guess this match is going to be powered up." Yang said while grinning.

"Don't ruin my moment please." Ruby said with a deadpanned tone.

"Yes, please don't." Ruby deadpanned.

Weiss and Blake had blank expressions on their faces.

"A deck of superheroes? I'm starting to have my doubts now." Weiss said.

"Is he really our final hope?" Blake asked.

"Talk about a vote of confidence." Qrow deadpanned, making Weiss and Blake blush in embarrassment.

"Hey. How long are you going to keep me waiting? So you're dueling or not kid?" Eddie asked.

Zack then put Anna down, as he then turned towards the Grimm. He did not speak, but only acted. He then reached down and grabbed his deck holder as he spun it in the air. He then smiled as he then used his other hand to throw his D-Tablet in the sky. He then placed his deck on his wrist, connecting it with the Tablet that fell.

"Not going to lie. But that was awesome!" Sun grinned at the action of Grimm. Even though he's the enemy

"Well, someone is eager." Coco raised a brow but was also eager to see the duel and how it works.

"Let me say this to start. I am fairly strong. Also, get ready to get beaten." Zack said as he then prepared himself.

"Let me say this then. I don't care." Eddie said as he got in his dueling stance.

Anna and team RWBY moved to the sidelines to watch the duel unfold. Ruby was especially excited to watch Zack use his hero deck. Anna just smiled at her friend. The duel disks then glowed as they then signal the start.

"DUEL!" Both players yelled.

Turn 1: Eddie Terror

Zackery Aegis: 4000LP vs Eddie Terror: 4000LP

Zackery Aegis Hand: 5 vs Eddie Terror Hand: 5

"And so it begins." Ozpin muttered.

"Here's hoping that Zack takes the victory." Pyrrha said, hoping that Zack would indeed win.

"I'll make the first move. I play the continuous spell card Soul Absorption from my hand. Now whenever a card is removed from the game, I gain 500 life points." Eddie stated as he then played his card.

Soul Absorption

Spell Card: Continuous

Soul Absorption then appeared on the field as it showed several spirits of monsters being absorbed by a demonic creature.

"Removed from play? What does that mean exactly?" Glynda couldn't help but ask.

"Well, the correct term is that a card is 'Banished', but just keep listening." Kai told her.

"What does removed from play mean?" Ruby asked.

"It means when the card doesn't exist on the battle board. Cards remove from play are taken out of the game, as if they are in another dimension. You could say they traveled somewhere else." Anna explained.

"So in other words, they're transported somewhere else." Weiss said.

"Cards transported to a different dimension…" James summarized.

"Sounds crazy, I can barely believe that's an actual part of the game." Jaune responded, attempting to wrap his head around the concept.

Eddie Terror then prepared to make a move that would make the duel favor him.

"Next I play the spell card Pot of Desires! By banishing the top ten cards of my deck, I can draw two cards!" Eddie Terror declared.

"Wait, WHAT!" Weiss shouted as Cinder was also shocked by the card's effect.

"But that's nearly 25 percent of his deck completely gone!" Cinder stated.

"And if that Soul Absorption's effect is used, then…" Winter said, dreading what was going to happen.

Pot of Desires

Spell Card: Normal

A pot then appeared on Eddie's side of the field. It appeared to have two faces. Team RWBY recognized the first face of the pot of greed, while the second face was purple as it had a smug look on its face, jewelry for teeth and stuck out its tongue. The purple side of the pot then open its mouth as it then began sucking in the air surrounding it. The top ten cards from Eddie's deck then began flying towards the jar, as the jar sucked then up. The pot then turned it around revealing the pot of greed face, as the top of the jar had two hands come out, and each of them held a card. Eddie then proceeded to draw two cards from his deck.

"Okay, I won't lie, the way that card did its job was pretty cool." Tai commented.

"But since ten cards were banished by that Pot of Desires…" James said, hoping against hope that what he was thinking wouldn't happen.

"And don't forget. Soul absorption gives me 500 life points every time a card is banished! Ten cards were removed from play. So I gain 5000 life points!" Eddie yelled, as he smiled sinisterly.

Soul absorption then had 10 souls fly out of it as then proceeded to enter Eddie as he laughed maniacally, as felt a surge of energy coursing through him.

Eddie Terror: 4000LP + (500x10) LP = 9000LP

Everyone's jaws had dropped and the color in their bodies had drained away at the sight of the combination of spell cards.

Nora was the first to snap out of it, as she spoke up. "I'm going to ask this question once…" She took a deep breath before… "HOW THE FUCK IS THAT EVEN ALLOWED!" She shouted.

"A 5000 life point increase all with the usage of two cards…" Glynda muttered at the sight as she repositioned her glasses to keep them from falling off.

"And the Grimm are the ones using that strategy." Roman said, afraid how such a combo would work with the Grimm in their world.

"THAT HAS TO BE ILLEGAL!" Weiss shouted.

"Yeah, what she said!" Ruby exclaimed, agreeing with her partner.

"9000 THOUSAND LIFE POINTS! THAT HAS TO BE ILLEGAL!" Weiss yelled.

"Apparently, it is legal. Your life points can go as high as they can." Anna explained.

"Seriously?!" Neo said by pulling out a sign.

"How's Zack going to take that Grimm down with him starting with all those life points?" Ren couldn't help but ask.

"I suppose we'll just have to wait and see, am I right in assuming that?" Maria asked Kai, who simply nodded.

"Look on the bright side. That Terror guy lost 10 cards already, and Zack has a full arsenal of cards." Yang said, trying to brighten things up.

"Oh really. Then perhaps I need to call a friend to give me a refill. I now summon Dark Necroface in attack mode!" Eddie yelled as he played his card.

Dark Necroface

[LV: 4] [Attribute: Dark]

[Zombie/Effect]

ATK: 1200 DEF: 1800

Dark Necroface then appeared on Eddie's field. It was just a baby doll face. Until it started sprouting pink tentacles from underneath. Its left eye then fell out, as a massive amount of a pink substance burst from underneath. It also had a purple eye that just stared at Zack. The appearance of this monster sent chills down Anna and RWBY's spines.

Ruby felt like she was gonna throw up, as were others like Weiss, Nora, Velvet, and Jaune. Cinder wouldn't admit to it, but even she was disturbed by the look of the monster. 'And I've seen how many abominable horrors created by Salem now?' Cinder couldn't help but wonder.

"That monster is quite creepy. It's even labeled as a zombie, which makes it scarier." Anna said.

"I don't think that thing will be winning any beauty contests." Blake said, a little disgusted by its appearance.

"Yeah, that thing makes me wish I was staring at a Beowulf instead." Ilia admitted.

"Indeed, quite frankly, I'd rather stare down a Manticore than that thing." Winter also admitted, as the monster was much more disturbing than any Grimm she's come across.

"I play the effect of Dark Necroface. When summoned to my field, I can return all banish cards to their respective decks." Eddie declared.

"Wait, it does WHAT?" Nora asked, grasping at her hair.

Dark Necroface tentacles then started extending outward as it teared upon a rift in the different dimension, grabbing cards one by one and sending them back to the deck. Another thing that everyone noticed is that it got bigger by the second.

"Is it just me, or is that thing getting bigger." Ruby said, as she saw the monster grew in size.

"As much as I hate to say it, you're not the only one." Weiss said, looking at the monster.

"For every card that was returned to the deck, Dark Necroface gains 100 attack points. Ten cards returned to the deck, meaning Necroface gains 1000 attack points!"

Dark Necroface: 1200ATK + 1000ATK = 2200ATK

"How are these Grimm so damn smart?" Jaune asked, baffled at how the Grimm was able to start the duel.

"I just hope none of the Grimm from our world can think like that…" Oscar said, fearful of the possibilities that could arise should anything like these Grimm ever appear.

"First he gets a life point advantage of 9000, regains his deck, and now he has a monster with 2200 attack points already!" Ruby said.

"This Grimm is overpowering Zack, and it's only his first turn. I have to admit that he is resourceful with his cards." Weiss said.

"This guy is going to give Zack a run for his money, or deck." Yang said, now worried.

"Also, that monster is looking at us with that face." Blake said, still disgusted by it.

"That's your primary concern?" Weiss asked Blake.

"Well… look at it, would you want that thing looking at you in any way, shape, or form." Blake asked her back.

Weiss looked at Necroface and visibly cringed. "Good point." Was all she said.

Zack only smiled at this. He actually didn't look fazed at all. It was more than that. He actually looked happy he did it.

"So you're going to start with a life point bonus huh. Very well, challenge accepted. By the end of this duel, all of those life points will be gone. My dad once said this: any mountain can be conquered, and the highest ones just need more work." Zack said, pointing his right hand into the air.

"Well, you can't say he's got guts, at least." Maria said, smiling at the boy's attitude.

"Hmph. Well let's see if you got the bite, to back up your bark. I play one card facedown, and end my turn." Eddie stated, as he placed his face-down.

Turn 2: Zackery Aegis

Zackery Aegis: 4000LP vs Eddie Terror: 9000LP

Zackery Aegis Hand: 5 vs Eddie Terror: 3

"My move now. I draw!" Zack yelled as he drew his card.

Upon seeing the card he drew and the cards he had in his hand. His face then formed an aggressive smile.

"What's with the face?" Eddie asked.

"Heh. What I have in my hand here will show you the true strength of my deck! I play the spell card Polymerization!" Zack yelled.

"Poly what now?" Yang asked in response.

Polymerization

Spell Card: Normal

Polymerization showed an orange imp monster and an orange dragon with each with black eyes, and they seem to be in some blue and purple swirl.

"Polymer-what?" Yang asked, in confusion of the name.

"That's a scientific term, to describe the direction of light, magnetism, or radiation." Weiss said.

"Oh…" Yang said before speaking up. "So what exactly does it do?" Yang wondered, her hand on her chin in response.

"If I had to guess, I'd say it has something to do with the primary mechanics of his deck." Winter said with a raised eyebrow.

"But what does it do?" Ruby asked.

"I think we're about to find out." Blake said, curious about the card.

"I can now send fusion material monsters from my hand or field, to summon a Fusion Monster! I'm going to fuse Elemental Hero Clayman, with Elemental Hero Sparkman from my hand! Alright guys, time to bring the thunder!" Zack yelled, sending his cards to the graveyard.

"Wait… FUSION Monster?" Ruby repeated in shock.

"Another type of extra deck monster?" James guessed.

"Yep, it's the first of its kind actually." Kai told them.

"First of its kind?" Weiss repeated. "So it's been a part of the game since the game first came around?" She asked, to which Kai nodded.

Elemental Hero Clayman

[LV: 4] [Attribute: Earth]

[Warrior]

ATK: 800 DEF: 2000

Elemental Hero Sparkman

[LV: 4] [Attribute: Light]

[Warrior]

ATK: 1600 DEF: 1400

Both Clayman and Sparkman then appeared on the field. Elemental Hero Clayman, had his entire body was made out of clay. Most of his body was bulky as it was gray in most areas and light grey on the far end parts. He also wore a red helmet with blue eye slits. Sparkman wore a blue suit, with golden armor on his chest and arms. He was also studded with orange orbs that seem to be in the armor. He also had two blade like items attached to his back. Ruby and Yang smiled at the monster, as it reminded them of the superhero cartoons they watch. Weiss wasn't normally interested in superheroes, but she was slightly impressed with their design, Blake just thought they were okay.

"So those are some of the heroes that Ruby imagined fighting against me with?" Roman found himself asking.

"They kinda look like action figure material." Neptune admitted.

What they were about to see next would highly impress them. A swirl of blue light then appeared behind Sparkman and Clayman. The two heroes looked at each other and nodded, as their bodies started to distort into a swirl, as they then entered the blue vortex. A white light then flashed from the vortex.

"Now watch as the Hero of Lightning and Hero of Clay combine their might together, to show their true form!" Zack chanted.

"I FUSION SUMMON! Presenting, the one and only, Elemental Hero Thunder Giant!" Zack said extending his arm outward.

Elemental Hero Thunder Giant

[LV: 6] [Attribute: Light]

[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]

ATK: 2400 DEF: 1500

In the place of the two heroes, stood a giant hero of thunder. The lower part of its legs were equipped with yellow armor parts with white parts in the front. He also had purple pants with white lines as well. What was most impressive was his upper body which was extremely massive. There was a blue electric core in the middle of his chest, as white lines extended all over his body, in a symmetrical pattern. His arms were equipped with shock gauntlets, as they had sharp tips on each finger, and blue electric palms in the center. He also wore shoulder pads that had horns on each of them, and he wore a helmet that had a visor that extended from his eyes to the back of his forehead. On his back were several fin blades. Weiss, Blake and Yang just stared in awe of what just happened. They have seen XYZ and Synchro, but this was highly impressive. Ruby on the other hand almost fainted if it weren't for Yang.

Ruby and Nora's jaws dropped to the floor as they had stars in their eyes. "THAT'S INCREDIBLE!" Ruby shouted at the sight of the new monster.

"It's a giant man with electrical powers, SO AWESOME!" Nora cheered, already loving this fusion monster.

"That's a fusion monster…" James muttered in amazement.

"Combining the properties of two monsters and making something new out of them." Ozpin added in his own amazement.

"THAT IS SO COOL! THE TWO HEROES TURNED INTO ANOTHER POWERFUL HERO!" Ruby yelled looking at the Thunder giant.

"Now that's what I call putting your heads together." Yang said.

"All of the extra deck summoning methods combine monsters, but fusion sounds more suitable for the word." Blake said.

"Indeed, it's also a lot more fitting given the basic premise of combining monsters together." Ren commented.

"Hmmm… I wonder what would happen if Ruby or Weiss were a Fusion monster instead of Synchro?" Pyrrha thought aloud.

"I'll admit that Zack's summoning was interesting. You mind telling us what fusion summoning is Anna?" Weiss said, curious about fusion summoning.

"I'll be happy to." Anna said, as somehow pulled out the same chalkboard out of nowhere.

"How do they do that?" Weiss asked, puzzled by the chalkboard again.

"I have no idea." Blake said, as she shrugged.

"Again with that chalkboard?" Mercury asked.

"At this point, I believe it's best not to question it anymore, as questionable as it is." Ozpin said.

Anna then began her explanation of fusion summoning.

"You see, unlike most extra deck summoning methods, some fusion monsters require specific monsters to summon it. Thunder Giant requires Clayman and Sparkman. Even if you do get the required monsters to summon it, you need to use a certain card effect to summon it. The main card that is used for these summoning methods is mostly polymerization, but there are other ways to fusion summon. The upside of fusion summoning is that some fusion methods can use monsters from you hand, field, banish or graveyard, allowing you to have access to your monsters at any time. Fusion summoning represents the." Anna said.

"That's so fascinating." Penny says in awe at how deep Fusion Summon is from the other Summoning Methods they know.

"It sounds complicated." Roman admitted but won't deny the results after seeing Thunder Giant.

"So while fusion summoning is harder than synchro and XYZ, it gives players access to monsters he or she needs." Blake said, awed about fusion summoning.

"Correct. The Elemental Heroes in their standard forms aren't much, but when you fuse them together…" Anna was about to say, until interrupted by Ruby.

"YOU CAN CREATE AWESOME FUSION HEROES! THE ELEMENTAL HERO DECK IS THE BEST!" Ruby yelled.

"YEAH! I SO WANT MY OWN HERO DECK!" Ruby yelled in excitement.

"You didn't need to yell!" Sienna said in annoyance as her ears twitched from the noise.

"I am so sorry about that." Taiyang apologized to the high leader and was slightly taken aback that a human sincerely apologized to her, even after what she'd seen in the chapter involving Blake.

"…Don't worry about it." The other Faunus who heard her say that widened their eyes, not expecting that from her.

"You really need to calm down sis." Yang said to her sister.

Back to the duel. Eddie was surprised at the fact Zack fusion summoned, but quickly regained his composure.

"While that fusion summon did throw me off guard, and it is stronger than my monster, a measly 200 is nothing." Eddie said, considering he had more life points.

"Did I ever say anything about attacking your Necroface?" Zack replied with a smirk.

"Huh?" Eddie said.

"He's not attacking the monster?" Winter asked, wondering what his strategy was.

"What's he planning?" Cinder wondered what the boy had in mind.

"Elemental Hero fusion monsters have unique and devastating abilities, and here's Thunder Giant's! By sending one card from my hand to the graveyard, I can destroy one monster on the field, whose original attack points are lower than Thunder Giant's. Necroface's original attack was 1200, and Thunder Giant's attack points are 2400. In short, by sending this card from my hand to the grave, you can kiss your monster goodbye! Vapor Spark!" Zack declared, discarding a card in the process.

Thunder Giant then generated an electric energy ball in his palms, and then fired a burst of lighting at Necroface, as it was instantly destroyed. Eddie covered himself from the explosion, and then saw himself looking at the Thunder Giant that towered over him.

"So THAT was his plan! He used Thunder Giant to take out his monster, and still be able to attack!" Ruby said, amazed by the strategy.

"Wow, that's actually a really good tactic." Coco complimented.

"Don't forget. My Thunder Giant can still attack! Voltic Thunder!" Zack declared.

Thunder Giant then raised his right arm as he then sent a current of electricity at Eddie, as he stepped back in pain.

Eddie LP: 9000LP – 2400LP = 6600LP

"He already blew away close to half of that 5000 life point gain in one attack…" Weiss stated, shocked at how Zack's first move went.

"It looks like we judged his dueling abilities too soon, he's quite talented." James admitted.

"That is an amazing monster. He wipes out the defenses using his ability, and then attacks with his strength. So this is the power of the Elemental Heroes." Blake said, as she was in awe.

"I want a hero deck now!" Ruby screamed.

"Same here!" Ruby exclaimed, with no one noticing Kai thinking about something.

'Hmmm…' Kai hummed in his head, not letting the viewers turn their attention to him.

"I'd love a hero-based deck." Nora said as well.

"I guess these heroes are more versatile than I thought." Weiss said, being slightly impressed.

"I guess Eddie had a shocking experience. Eh. Guys?" Yang punned.

Everyone, but Zack, groaned at it.

The same thing went for most of the viewers as well.

"I think I see now why you loathe her puns." Winter said.

"Oh, come on. You people have no sense of humor." Yang pouted.

"Yang, I know psychopathic demons born from eldritch interdimensional nightmares that are more funnier than you." Kai told her, making her jaw drop and her right eyebrow go up.

Kai then sighed as he continued to speak. "But then again… I suppose your attempts at cracking jokes is better than the alternative." Kai said, earning a confused look from the viewers.

"What?" Blake said, confused by what he meant.

"What do you mean by that?" Weiss asked Kai.

"Wait until the end of this chapter, and I promise I'll disclose that info to you." Kai told them.

"Nice one Yang. Now, I'll play one card face-down, and call it a turn." Zack said, ending his turn.

Turn 3: Eddie Terror

Zackery Aegis: 4000LP vs Eddie Terror: 6600LP

Zackery Aegis Hand 2: vs Eddie Terror Hand: 3

"A minor setback. I draw! I summon Edge Imp Saw from my hand!" Eddie Terror declared.

Edge Imp Saw

[LV: 3] [Attribute Dark]

[Fiend/Effect]

ATK: 500 DEF: 1000

The Edge Imp Saw was a buzz saw that had the teeth of the blade glow green, with its flat side facing forward. It also had six band saws that are placed vertically in between. It also had two red angry eyes that glowed.

"Yeash! That's one scary buzzsaw." Coco says, admitting that the monster was creepy.

"This guy sure has scary monsters in it," Sun added, shuddering at the look of it.

"Yeesh. Where did he get that? The daily evil appliance store?" Yang said, trying to make a joke.

"Enough with the jokes Yang." Weiss said, in a deadpanned tone.

"Still, that monster gives off a bad vibe for me." Blake said, being a little concerned about it.

"Yeah… I don't know why but that monster is giving all kinds of wrong." Velvet says, shuddering at the sight of the monster.

"The Deck does fit the Grimm's theme." Oscar added.

"Don't worry Blake. Zack's Thunder Giant won't be put down that easy. He's a super hero." Ruby said smiling.

"Yeah! A scary monster like that always gets beaten by heroes." Ruby cheered.

"Yeah! Superhero for the win!" Jaune also cheered, high-fiving Ruby.

"These are the kids we're having trouble with?" Roman muttered while Neo just had a deadpanned look on her face.

"This isn't a Saturday cartoon Ruby. This is duel monsters. And what I learned so far, anything can happen." Weiss said.

"I got the gist of that." Maria agreed.

"Edge imp. Where have I heard that name before?" Anna asked herself.

"Anna knows what that monster is?" Pyrrha questioned.

"Hopefully, she can tell us what kind of Deck Eddie Terror is using." Glynda said.

"I activate Edge Imp's ability! By discarding one Fluffal monster from my hand to the graveyard, I can draw two cards. I send Fluffal Bear from my hand to the graveyard, to draw two cards from my deck. Then I select one card from my hand, and place it on the top or bottom of my deck. I take this card, and put it on top." Eddie said, as he did his explained actions.

"Fluf… fal?" Nora tilted her head, finding it odd that a cute-sounding monster was in a horror-themed deck.

"That name sounds kinda cute." Kali admitted.

"But why would a horror-themed monster have an effect connected with a cute-sounding monster?" Penny asked, not finding the logic in that.

"Fluffal? I feel like I know that type of card, but I can't seem to get it out." Anna said as she thought.

"Hehehehehe." Eddie slowly chuckled.

"That doesn't sound good…" Emerald nervously gulped.

"What's so funny?" Zack asked.

"Nothing special. You're just about to find your doom." Eddie said.

"You mean I can finally buy the new DOOM game for a lower and affordable price that is stock!" Zack said with a surprised look.

"There's a game called doom?" Neptune asked.

"Oh yeah, it's a popular third-person beat-em-up series involving a superviolent supersoldier that goes out on a killing spree of demons and monsters from hell." Kai answered, getting various shocked looks from everyone from the description.

"Really? That sounds awesome!" Yang says interested in the game.

"Fair warning, it's PG18. You would not believe the various ways to kill demons." Kai said, getting nervous looks from the more innocent viewers.

"NO YOU IDIOT! I MEANT DEATH, DESTRUCTION. ARE YOU THAT DENSE!?" Eddie yelled in anger.

"Hmmm. I have to figure out a way to buy the new hero cards, and the new DOOM game. I should probably start asking for more chores and saving my money." Zack said, as he took out a notebook, jotting down notes.

"HEY! FOCUS ON THE DUEL KID!" Eddie yelled, annoyed with this kid.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I have a duel first. Now what were you saying again?" Zack asked, with a casual look on his face.

Almost all of the viewers give a blank expression towards the viewing.

"That boy is very carefree." Maria said.

"It's almost like he doesn't feel threatened at all." Jaune said, almost feeling a bit jealous of Zack's carefree personality.

Team RWBY just stared at him with blank expressions, while Anna just giggled at her friend's personality.

"Zack sure is a… unique guy." Blake said.

"He makes Jaune look like he became a world class Huntsman." Weiss said.

"HEY, that might be somewhat true, but come on!" Nora shouted at the screen.

Jaune only sighed at this. "It's alright Nora, honestly I don't blame her for saying that." Jaune told her.

"Oh come now, Jaune, you have been improving since you got to Beacon." Pyrrha told him.

"Indeed, Mr. Arc." Ozpin said, getting his attention. "You might not believe me when I say this, but you've improved by a lot compared to some other students that are in Beacon." The Headmaster of Beacon told him.

"Y- you mean that?" Jaune asked.

"He's not wrong." Glynda said, agreeing with Ozpin. "Though I might not say it a lot, you've put a lot of effort into your training, much more than half of the students in Beacon, many that come to Beacon only come here due the school's reputation and the amount of attention it can net them, but you…" Glynda looked at him with a smile. "You genuinely want to improve, not just for your own betterment, but to protect the people of this world." She told him.

Jaune felt like a weight as heavy as a train was lifted off his back, as he brushed off a tear of happiness that went down from his eye. "Thanks, that means a lot." Jaune thanked the two professors of Beacon.

"Yeah, and besides, you've always got us by your side, don't you know?" Ruby said to him.

"We're here to help you out… Leader." Ren added as Nora smiled at him.

He felt a hand wrap around his own as he turned to see Pyrrha smiling at him. "I've got your back." Pyrrha told him, smiling.

The sound of sniffling was heard as everyone turned to Kai who was wiping away tears dripping from his eyes before pulling out a tissue and blowing his nose into it. "Sorry, I just… wasn't prepared for this to appear… especially considering certain variables I sadly have knowledge of." Kai said before blowing his nose into the tissue again.

Cinder only discreetly rolled his eyes as did Mercury, but Emerald was different. She felt some sort of… sting in her chest, very close to her heart. And she hated that feeling. 'What… is this…' Emerald asked herself in her head. "So… are we going to continue watching or, or what?" Emerald asked Kai, who realized they were nowhere near the end of this chapter.

He shook himself back to his composed looking self before nodding. "The lady is right, we've a chapter to continue with." Kai snapped his fingers as the chapter continued.

"Is it weird that he's the one who's going to save us from this Grimm?" Yang asked, as RWB nodded in agreement.

"At least he has a cool deck." Ruby said, trying to defend Zack.

"I can't believe I have to duel this moron. Anyway, besides that, let's just say that my next move, is going to give you a scare." Eddie said, smiling sinisterly.

"Well this can only add up to something crazy." Roman muttered.

"What could he be planning to do this turn?" Ghira wondered aloud.

Anna was still thinking of where she heard the names Edge Imp and Fluffal. Even though she couldn't remember, she felt scared just thinking about it. Two words did come to mind: Fright and Fur. She had no idea what they meant.

"Fright and fur?" Oscar repeated. "Is that supposed to be an… archetype of some kind?" He asked.

"Well… You are correct, but I'll let you see for yourself." Kai answered, leaving the viewers confused at what this supposed archetype could be.

"I now play the spell card Dark Fusion! Now I can send fusion material from my field or hand to the graveyard, to fusion summon a Fiend type Fusion monster." Eddie said, sinisterly.

Dark Fusion

Spell Card: Normal

Dark Fusion showed Elemental Hero Avian and Burstinatrix being enveloped in yellow light, as a winged female humanoid figure stood behind them, and it looked like it had claws.

"Wait… those monsters in the card are…" Blake said shocked at the sight of the art portrayed in the card.

"Elemental Hero monsters?" Cinder finished, shocked to find heroic monsters on a card called Dark Fusion.

"But… why though?" Ruby asked, fearing the answer.

"Wait. Why are Hero monsters on a card that has Dark in its name?" Ruby said, shocked from seeing the cards.

"Dark Fusion was originally created to fuse Elemental Heroes together to create their dark fusion counterparts. Evil Heroes. Evil Heroes are stronger than Elemental Heroes. However, Dark Fusion can also be used to summon fiend type fusion monsters." Anna explained.

"Taking Heroes and turning them into villains! That's a horrible card!" Ruby said, dreading what Evil Heroes were capable of.

"Wait, the Elemental Heroes have dark counterparts that are literally evil versions of themselves?" Sun asked.

"Yep, and Anna isn't lying when she said that they're stronger than the Elemental Hero counterparts." Kai told them. "Remember Thunder Giant's ability to destroy a monster with less original Attack Points than it by discarding a card?" Kai asked, to which everyone nodded. "Well Thunder Giant has an Evil Hero counterpart that goes by Evil Hero Lightning Golem, which has the ability to just… straight up take out ANY monster that's on the field at no cost." he explained, showing a holographic depiction of the villainous monster in question.

"Damn… that does sound like a crazy one-up over Thunder Giant." Yang admitted.

"He looks so… imposing." Winter admitted, looking at the stature of the monster.

"The only weakness of these Evil Heroes is that in order to fusion summon them, you NEED Dark Fusion, or a card of similar nature to it, to summon them." Kai added as the hologram disappeared.

"Even the greatest of heroes can succumb to darkness." Blake said, with a serious look on her face.

"Yeah, there's no denying that. I've read enough comic books to know stuff like that to be true." Jaune admitted.

"Yeah, same here." Ruby said, agreeing with him.

Ozpin sighed inwardly, thinking back to all the lives he had to live, and all the people who'd turned to darkness just to try and survive, some a lot more recent than others. 'I've had to deal with that more than anyone I can think of…' Ozpin thought to himself. 'Maybe the Duel Monsters and humans are more alike in this aspect.' He thought as he continued watching.

That was when James thought about what Anna had said about Dark Fusion. "Wait, Anna said that Dark Fusion was originally meant to fusion summon Evil Hero monsters, what does it do in this situation?" He asked.

"He doesn't look like he's using any sort of hero-related cards, what does he want to summon?" Coco asked.

"And if that toy shop remark he made earlier in this chapter, it's gotta be something vile if what he said about its extra deck is of any indication." Winter remarked.

"That was kind of dark Blake." Yang said.

"It doesn't look like Eddie is using a Hero deck like Zack. What could he be fusing then?" Weiss said, with her hand on her chin.

"I'm taking my Fluffal Leo on my hand, and fusing it with my Edge Imp Saw that's on my field!" Eddie said.

"Fluffal Leo? Why does it sound like a stuffed toy or something?" Velvet questioned.

"And why do I feel a sense of dread?" Oscar nervously gulped for some odd reason.

"Wait. Fluffal, Edge Imp, and Fusion! It has to be!" Anna yelled in horror.

"She does know what it is!" Nora gasped.

"Something wrong Anna?" Ruby asked.

"I just realized what the deck is." Anna said, trembling with fear.

"Is she getting scared?" Mercury questioned.

"Whatever it is, I don't like it." Penny said as she was feeling what she could only describe as fear herself.

Team RWBY were getting a little scared themselves, to see Anna all worked up about the deck.

Fluffal Leo

[LV: 4] [Attribute: Earth]

[Fairy/Effect]

ATK: 1600 DEF: 1200

Fluffal Leo then appeared on Eddie's field. The monster that had appeared was a cute stuffed toy lion, with two black beaded eyes, bandages on its legs and tiny little wings on its back. It was really adorable to Ruby and Weiss.

"AWW!" Almost all of the female viewers squealed at how cute the monster was.

"IT'S SO CUTE!" Ruby, Weiss, Nora, Pyrrha, Velvet, Kali, and Penny squealed as their eyes turned to hearts.

"That's a Fluffal?" Emerald says she did all her willpower not to squeal at how adorable the monster is though her cheeks are slightly red.

"So it would seem." Ozpin says, not expecting that an adorable monster would be in the hands on the Grimm.

"And I thought that the Grimm using a demonic toy puppet was odd." Glynda remarked, suppressing her urge to squeal at the sight of the toy lion herself.

"This game is really weird and unexpected." Roman comments while Neo silently cooed at the monster.

"Isn't it strange that the Grimm has that kind of monster on his deck?" Mercury questioned while he gagged on the monster's appearance.

"It is bizarre." Cinder agreed but still was curious about the purpose of this monster archetype.

"IT'S SO CUTE!" Ruby and Weiss squealed as their eyes turned into hearts.

"For a Grimm, he sure does have cute monsters." Yang said.

"And that kind of disturbs me." Jaune admitted.

"I wouldn't get too attached if I were you." Anna said, with a terrified look on her face.

"So there is a reason to fear it." Winter says but inwardly finds the monster adorable.

"Perhaps we will see the reason to fear it now." Glynda says as she prepares for what's to come.

"Didn't he say something about a Fiend Fusion monster?" Blake said, as she did admit the monster was cute, but was more prepared than her teammates.

The Edge Imp Saw and the Fluffal then started ascending into the air, as their bodies became distorted in a swirl of dark light.

"Steel blades possessed by demons. Become one with the fanged beast, and show us a nightmarish form and horrifying power! I FUSION SUMMON! Come forth King of the hundred beasts that tears everything to pieces! Frightfur Leo!" Eddie chanted.

Frightfur Leo

[LV: 7] [Attribute: Dark]

[Fiend/Fusion/Effect]

ATK: 2400 DEF: 2000

The Fluffal Leo then reappeared on the field. Its body then began to shake as if something was moving inside. Suddenly, its cute fluffy paws were ripped open, revealing three red sharp jagged claws, on its arms. The back then ripped open showing a yellow buzz saw separating both sides of the body, but holding it together at the same time. Its face then started to expand, as it teared itself open to reveal a nightmarish lion face, with a yellow buzz saw placed between the back and front of the head, and seven white glowing blades attached in a symmetrical pattern. It had two red eyes with dark black pupils, a black nose and red sharp teeth. It then gave out an evil laugh as the monster finally assumed its combined form. At that moment, Ruby and Weiss' hearts were broken as they saw the cute lion become a nightmarish monster.

Most of the viewers were freaked and disturbed by the appearance of the demonic lion. At the same time, the girls who thought of the monster as adorable were heartbroken and frightened.

"OH MY OUM!" Nora and Pyrrha cried out in fear.

"That Grimm turned that lion into a demon!" Ilia cried out in fear.

Ruby fell onto her knees in sadness at the remorseless transformation the toy lion went through. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" She wailed in sadness.

"This is Grimm's true monster archetype…?" Sienna gulped nervously, feeling scared by the sight of it.

"THAT GRIMM TURNED A CUTE ADORABLE LION INTO A MONSTER!" Ruby cried as she held Weiss.

"WHAT KIND OF SICK DECK IS THAT!? AND DON'T TOUCH ME RUBY!" Weiss screamed as she just kept holding onto Ruby.

"That's a Frightfur fusion deck. It takes cute little stuff toy animals, and demon possessed cutting appliances, mashing them together, to create nightmarish animals from a Five Nights at Freddie's game." Anna said, as her voice quivered a little.

"Do we even want to know what kind of game that is?" Coco asked.

"Well, remember this thing." Kai asked, pulling out the black-bodied puppet that scared Ruby during the second chapter.

Ruby flinched slightly at the sight, but responded. "Reluctantly, yes."

"This. Is from that game franchise." Kai said before pulling out a trash can and dropping the puppet inside. "It's all about crazy jumpscares, weird but thematically creepy characters and locations, and a bundle of lore so insanely confusing, you'll wish you never heard of it." Kai told them.

"It can't be that bad, can it?" Cinder asked.

Kai only gave her a look with a raised eyebrow as he sighed. "You do not want to know, trust me on that." He warned her.

"I don't know what that game is, but I do know that it is a game that I do not want to play. Who in the world created this deck! What were they trying to do? Scare little kids to death." Yang said, as she tried comforting Weiss and Ruby.

"I think it was directed for people interested in the horror genre." Anna said, still a little terrified of it.

"Well, whoever made it sure did do a good job of it. But it's sick! Turning animals into monsters! I can't accept such a cruel animal mutations, even if it is a card game, or stuffed animals!" Blake said, as she was horrified and angered by the summoning.

"Yeah, that was a really cute stuffed animal, and now it's a living nightmare!" Ruby exclaimed in sadness.

"I wouldn't mind having a plush version of that Fluffal monster…" Weiss said.

Zack was the only one unfazed by this. He actually liked the monster. He played a whole bunch of horror games before, so he was used to seeing this.

"Heh. Now this is getting interesting. It's been a while since I had a fusion vs fusion duel. Although, I don't remember the last time it happened, it's still gonna be awesome!" Zack said as he did a fist pump with his right hand.

"Well, at least he likes the look of the monster, he's fighting against a Grimm using that demonic freakshow and he's still looking as brave as when he started the duel." Maria commented.

"I won't deny it, that kid is brave." Coco commented.

"Yeah, he's braver than some people I recall doing business with, believe it or not." Roman admitted.

"You won't be thinking that for long once I activate my Leo's ability. Once per turn, by giving up Leo's right to do a direct attack on your life points, I can target one monster on your field, destroy it and you take damage equal to its attack points!" Eddie declared.

"HE CAN WHAT!" Sienna asked loudly, shocked at the effect.

"That's a powerful ability, if it gets through, it'll be as if it attacked directly anyways, and it'll get rid of Zack's fusion monster." James noted, seeing that Frightfur Leo's Attack Points are the same as Thunder Giant's.

"He's got to do something, or he'll suffer a massive blow to his life points." Winter stated.

"Thunder Giant has 2400 attack points. So if it's destroyed by this effect…" Ruby said, as Blake finished her sentence.

"Zack will take 2400 points of damage." Blake said in fear.

"Also, thanks to Dark Fusion, the monster summoned by it cannot be targeted by monster, spell, or trap effects. Frightfur Leo! Use your ability to destroy Elemental Hero Thunder Giant! Buzz Mayhem!" Eddie Declared pointing at Thunder Giant.

"That's why he used Dark Fusion to summon it." Ozpin realized.

"It provided an immunity to card effects that target it." Glynda said through gritted teeth.

Frightfur Leo then laughed maniacally as the seven blades on his head started rotating at an intense speed. Energy saws then flew out of the seven saws as they spun with deadly speed and force, threatening to slice Thunder Giant in half. Zack then decided to play his face-down.

"I play my face-down. The Quick-play spell card De-Fusion! De-Fusion lets me choose one fusion on the field and send it back to the extra deck. As much as I would want to choose your Leo, I have no choice but to split apart my Thunder Giant!" Zack said, as he pointed to his Thunder Giant.

De-Fusion

Spell Card: Quick-Play

De-Fusion showed an orange humanoid monster, and a green dragon-like monster being split apart. Thunder Giant's body then glowed white as he then split into two energies of light, as the saws missed their target.

"He's undoing his own fusion?" Kali asked, confused.

"He's sending it back to the extra deck." Ilia commented, before she realized what this meant. "But that means…" She muttered as she continued watching.

"Also, as an added bonus. If the fusion monster happened to belong to me, I can summon the monsters that were used to summon it, if they are in my graveyard. So I'm bringing back both Clayman and Sparkman back to my field in defense mode. Welcome back guys!" Zack said, retrieving his two monsters.

The two energies of light then started to take shape, as Clayman and Sparkman were then formed from the light and were in defensive position on the battlefield.

"Alright! Clayman and Sparkman are back!" Sun cheered.

"That was smart. Zack acknowledged he could use De-Fusion on his monster, rather than just his opponents. Dark-Fusion would have protected Leo from the card, so Zack was flexible with his options. Also he now has two defensive monsters protecting him. I have to admit, but he's doing okay against the Grim." Weiss said, admiring Zack's play.

"He may have lost Thunder Giant, but now he has two monsters on his field." Neptune cheered.

"And they're all in defense position." Winter added.

"Leo ability lost its target, so damage won't be applied. This Hero deck is even more amazing than I thought!" Ruby said, smiling.

"But Eddie still has an attack with Leo, and he was only restrained from direct attacks." Blake said, taking that fact into account.

"And that kitty cat has some really sharp claws." Yang said, looking at the monster.

"That may be so, but Zack will not receive any damage to his Life Points." James pointed out.

"Either way, that was a clever move." Maria says, approving Zack's quick thinking.

Eddie was slightly annoyed that he couldn't do damage to Zack.

"You're life points may be safe, but your monsters are a different story. Frightfur Leo, attack and tear his Sparkman apart!" Eddie Terror yelled.

The Frightfur Leo then rushed up to Sparkman, and picked him up with his left paw. He then brutally stabbed Sparkman with his right claws and Sparkman went limp and was destroyed. Ruby covered her eyes to avoid seeing the gruesome scene.

"NO! NOT SPARKMAN!" Nora overdramatically cried in tears as she held Ren for support.

"Oh! That was horrid!" Kali gasped as she covered her mouth at the scene.

"That's going to be in my nightmares." Oscar gulped nervously at the scene.

"That was mildly disturbing." Blake said, creeped out by the lion.

"It's like watching a horror movie, and I really don't like horror movies." Yang said.

"Also, I just realized that the weakness of Zack's deck." Weiss said.

"A weakness?" Cinder says, curious what the Schnee has noticed, possibly something she could exploit for future references.

"What is it Weiss?" Ruby asked.

"Look at Clayman. It's a normal monster. A monster that doesn't have an effect. Anna told us that the Heroes relied on fusing to use their abilities to beat their opponents. So in short, if Zack doesn't fuse his heroes together, he won't be able to win." Weiss said.

"It's true. Most normal Elemental Hero monsters don't have any effects." Kai said, getting a concerned look from the viewers.

"If that is the case, then Zack is at a disadvantage." Glynda says, getting concerned from seeing the flaw of Zack's Archetype monsters.

"I wouldn't be so quick to worry." Kai mischievously says, getting everyone to wonder what he is talking about.

"I wouldn't worry about that. This morning, Zack and I made a few adjustments to his deck." Anna said.

(Flashback)

"Hey Anna, can I ask you a favor?" Zack asked.

"A flashback?" Ilia raised a brow.

"Sure what is it?" Anna asked.

"I was wondering if I could put in these cards." Zack said holding several cards.

"Zack, you know that adding those cards to your deck will throw the balance of your deck off." Anna said, with a stern look.

"Different cards that don't involve Elemental Heroes?" Blake raised a brow.

"Anna. I just have a feeling that I need to put these cards in my deck. I swore I saw them next to my deck this morning, when I put them in my card storage." Zack said.

"Fine, but you'll only add in two of six cards, but we'll add in the main card as well, along with some supports." Anna said, as she decided to go with it.

"Two of six? What is she talking about?" Jaune questioned.

"Must be an interesting set of cards for Anna to approve." Tai said, curious about what these cards could do that work with Zack's Archetype.

"Deal!" Zack said, with enthusiasm, overwhelming Anna again.

(End of Flashback)

"Based on the cards he has in his deck, I'm sure he can de-claw that overgrown cat." Anna said, confidently.

"Oh yeah! She can pun too!" Yang cheered.

"I can let that slide this once." Weiss said. "I'm curious about what cards Zack has added to his deck."

"I hope you're right, because that thing looks ready to pounce." Yang said.

"I'll just finish you next turn. I'll take pleasure in seeing you squirm." Eddie said, as he ended his turn.

Turn 4: Zackery Aegis

Zackery Aegis: 4000LP vs Eddie Terror: 6600LP

Zackery Aegis Hand: 2 vs Eddie Terror Hand: 1

"Alright then. Here goes. I draw!" Zack said, as he looked at his cards.

"Oh. I get it now. How about a cat for a cat?" Zack said, as he picked up one of his cards.

Eddie was curious about what he said as he could only watch.

The viewers also were curious about what Zack had said. "What's next, a cat-themed hero or something?" Yang asked, resisting the subconscious urge to look at Blake.

"You're not too far off, but you're still not close to it." Kai answered her.

"You played your big cat, now I'll play mine. I summon Neo-Spacian Dark Panther in attack mode!" Zack declared playing his card.

Neo-Spacian Dark Panther

[LV: 3] [Attribute: Dark]

[Beast/Effect]

ATK: 1000 DEF: 500

A panther-like animal then appeared on the field and looked like any normal panther, only this one wore a yellow collar, with the letters N and S, on it for Neo-Spacian. He also wore a Black cape that was red underneath. The appearance of the monster surprised team RWBY, but mostly Blake.

"Wait, that's not a hero monster, not in name at least." Mercury noted.

"Why would Zack put that monster, and presumably another card like it, into his deck?" Glynda wondered.

"He had to have had a good reason if Anna gave the go-ahead for it." Weiss said.

"What is that monster, and what's up with the name Neo-Spacian?" Weiss asked, awed by the monster.

"Neo-Spacians are superheroes from outer space. They assist the elemental heroes, although building a deck like that will take a lot of work." Anna explained.

"There are superheroes in space!?" Ruby said with excitement.

Ruby felt like she was going to explode at hearing that fact. "Superheroes… IN SPACE!" Ruby exclaimed with stars in her eyes.

"That is AWESOME!" Yang declared.

"That's incredible, it's like they're beings that came from beyond the human world to help them." Glynda said, shocked at the fact that there were such beings in the universe, and that they were in the form of Duel Monsters cards.

"Seven in fact, if you count the guy who is in charge of the Neo-Spacians." Anna said.

"Sounds like these guys are, out of this world." Yang punned, as everyone else groaned.

"I am quite interested to see what this monster does. Besides, a cat as a superhero sounds interesting, and unique." Blake said, as she was more interested in the monster. She also thought he looked cool.

"So it's not a cat-themed superhero, but just a superhero cat." Jaune asked.

"That does sound about right, yeah." James said.

"I can't help but wonder what that monster can do?" Sun wondered aloud.

Eddie was on guard, as duelists don't play weak cards all for nothing.

"You see here Eddie. My cat isn't your typical everyday cat, but more of a copycat. What I mean by that, is that it can copy one of your monsters, such as the Frightfur Leo that's on your field! Dark Panther, so him how it's done!" Zack said, pointing at Frightfur Leo.

Dark Panther responded by nodding his head, as his eyes then glowed red as he body started to melt into a black liquid. The black liquid then gushed up like a geyser, as it then started taking shape. The liquid then took form as Dark Panther had become Frightfur Leo. It even gave out the same laugh. Team RWBY was awed, but a little scared, by Dark Panther's trick.

Everyone's jaw had dropped from the sight as the students of Beacon lost it. "THAT'S INCREDIBLE!" Ruby shouted.

"It's able to copy the powers of an opposing monster." Weiss noted.

"And it can shapeshift it's entire body, that's awesome!" Coco exclaimed.

"It might not be the most ideal of monster's to turn into appearance wise, but that means Zack can use Frightfur Leo's ability!" Velvet said.

"Looks like he'll be getting a taste of his own medicine then." Oscar stated.

"A monster with shapeshifting abilities. That is an interesting ability." Weiss said.

"He really takes the name Copycat to a whole new level." Yang said.

"It is kind of cool." Blake said, as she secretly liked this monster the most.

"Can't help but wonder what the other Neo-Spacian monsters are gonna look like, though." Winter commented.

"You're not gonna tell us that, are you?" Qrow asked Kai.

"You bet your drunken ass I'm not." Kai answered with a smirk.

Everyone felt like giving him a blank stare, as Yang leaned to Weiss. "He's enjoying this, is he?" She asked.

"I'd be surprised if he didn't." The heiress answered.

"The ability to become your opponent is amazing. I just wish it wasn't that monster." Ruby said, as she awed, but yet terrified, of Black Panther's new look.

Zack wasn't done yet.

"For this turn, Dark Panther name and ability are the same of the monster he copied." Zack said.

"Wait. Did you say that that cat of yours can use the ability of my Leo?!" Eddie asked, shocked at what he heard.

"That's right. So even though my Leo has 1000 attack points, it can use a new trick it learned. Alright Dark Panther, use your new trick to destroy Frightfur Leo, with a taste of his own medicine! Buzz Mayhem!" Zack yelled.

Black Panther in his new form responded by sending out a series of spinning saws towards the real Frightfur Leo, as the saws sliced him apart, as he then exploded or shattered. The saws then went towards Eddie as he was then hit by multiple spinning saws, as he screamed in pain.

"YES, the scary lion monster is gone!" Ruby cheered.

"And there's still more to the effect!" Oscar said excitedly.

"Don't forget. You also take damage equal to your monster's attack points!" Zack said, pointing at Eddie.

Eddie Terror: 6600LP – 2400LP = 4200LP

"Arrrrghh." Eddie growled.

"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" Zack asked.

Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Anna decided to let it slide, as it was kind of funny at the same time. Yang was snickering that Zack just punned and burned Eddie at the same time.

"Yeah, even I won't deny it, that was pretty funny." Qrow said.

"Indeed, that was fairly humorous." Ozpin admitted.

"Since I can't attack you directly this turn, I'll just play a card-facedown and end my turn." Zack said, as he ended his turn.

At that point, Dark Panther reverted back to his original form.

Turn 5: Eddie Terror

Zackery Aegis: 4000LP vs Eddie Terror: 4200LP

Zackery Aegis Hand: 1 vs Eddie Terror Hand: 1

At this point, Eddie was starting to get really annoyed with this kid. He started out with 9000LP, and now here he was, almost back to 4000LP, in just two turns. What made things worse was if it weren't for his life point bonus, he would have lost.

"That's not wrong, if it weren't for that Soul Absorption and Pot of Desires combo he used, this duel would've been over at that." James noted.

"Wow, I guess Zack is pretty good when it comes to dueling, with some deck-building assistance from Anna at least." Weiss admitted.

"Yeah, and this guy's the same one who puts hot sauce on ice cream." Jaune said.

"That's it kid! The gloves are off! I draw!" Eddie yelled in anger.

"I summon Kuribandit to my field in attack mode!"

Kuribandit

[LV: 3] [Attribute: Dark]

[Fiend/Effect]

ATK: 1000 DEF: 700

Kuribandit was a ball shaped monster, covered in black fur. He also had an eye-patch on his left eye, and wore a yellow bandanna on his head. He also had a right blue eye, two sharp fangs, and two green claws, and feet. Despite trying to be intimidating, it wasn't really that scary.

Everyone that had seen the monster was really underwhelmed at the sight of Kuribandit.

"What the heck is that thing gonna do?" Sun asked.

"Well, he must have some reason for putting it into his deck, maybe some sort of ability?" Pyrrha wondered.

"Heh. As if that furball could actually do some damage to Zack." Yang said, confidently.

"I agree. That monster doesn't look like much. It looks really pathetic." Weiss said, judging the monster coldly.

"It's not as awesome as the Elemental Heroes. But it is kind of cute, in a weird way." Ruby said, looking at the monster with a curious look.

"It does look kinda cute to some capacity." Ruby commented, before something about how the duel has been going up till now came to mind, and she paled. "He's not gonna turn that thing into a demonic abomination, is he?" Ruby asked.

"I can assure you, he's not gonna do that." Kai answered, making Ruby sigh in relief. "He's gonna use it to get what he needs to do it again." Ruby's eye twitched at him saying that as her head drooped.

"Of course he is." Ruby muttered.

"While it does look weak, I wonder what it does." Blake said.

"Girls. If there is one thing you should not do in this world it's this. Never, underestimate a monster that has Kuri- in its name." Anna said, with a grim expression.

"Wait, seriously?" Tai asked.

"They can't be that bad, right?" Maria asked.

"Believe me when I say this. The Kuri- monsters are the kind of cards that can make or break a duel in many different situations." Kai warned them, making some of the viewers get a pit in their stomach from thinking about what this particular monster could do.

"Why is that?" Weiss asked.

"Personal experience." Anna said, blankly.

"I activate Kuribandit's ability. By sacrificing it, he robs the top 5 cards of my deck, and takes them to the graveyard. However, if there happens to be a spell or trap card among the five cards, I can add it to my hand." Eddie explained.

Kuribandit, then ran towards Eddie, and then snatched the top 5 cards of his deck, and jumped into a black portal leading to the graveyard.

"It sends 5 cards from your deck to the Graveyard, but lets you keep one?" James analyzed the effect. "Interesting effect, wonder what cards were sent to it." He thought aloud.

"It can't be anything good if the other duels we've seen up till now are anything to go by." Glynda said.

"Gotta give the monster credit for sticking to the bandit theme, though." Roman said with a smile.

"Agreed." Neo agreed with a sign doing the talking.

"Well. That just happened." Yang said, confused about what just happened.

"One of the cards is Frightfur Patchwork. I'll add that card to my hand." Eddie said, retrieving his card.

"Next I play the trap card, Designer Frightfur. It lets me revive one Fluffal or Edge Imp monster that is in my graveyard, and treat it as a Frightfur monster. I select Fluffal Bear." Eddie said.

Designer Frightfur

Trap Card: Normal

Fluffal Bear

[LV: 3] [Attribute: Earth]

[Fairy/Effect]

ATK: 1200 DEF: 800

Designer Frightfur showed Frightfur Leo in the center split opened, as Fluffal Leo emerged from the torn up body. A black portal then appeared in the ground, as a pink fuzzy teddy bear emerged from the ground with a red scarf and white wings. Ruby and Weiss thought the monster was cute, but remembered what happened to the lion.

"Not the cute bear…" Nora said with a tear running down her cheek.

"Can't wait to see how horrifying the next Frightfur monster is." Coco sarcastically commented.

"He's going to turn that fuzzy teddy bear into a monster!" Ruby cried, dreading the monster.

"We don't know that yet. Eddie doesn't have any fusion cards in his hand, and one of them is a spell card." Weiss said, trying to remain calm.

Eddie then grinned viciously.

"Oh no, he's probably planned for that." Velvet said, worried about what he's gonna do next.

"I now play the spell card, Frightfur Patchwork, this card lets me add one card with Edge imp and a polymerization spell card from my deck to my hand. So I'll add Edge Imp Sabres and Polymerization to my hand."

"Did he just say Edge Imp and Polymer- whatever it is to his hand?" Yang asked, hoping she was wrong.

"I believe so." Blake said, readying herself.

"So that's what that card does." Winter said, gritting her teeth at the effect.

Frightfur Patchwork

Spell Card: Normal

Frightfur Patchwork showed a monstrous abomination of several fluffal monsters sewed together, with the two evil red eyes in its mouth of sharp teeth. It appeared to be on a workbench, which had a saw, needles and a spike press in the background. There was also a scissor monster in the background. Eddie's deck then pushed out two cards from his deck, revealing them to be Polymerization and Edge Imp Sabres.

"I now play the spell card Polymerization! I now fuse Edge Imp Sabres with Fluffal Bear!" Eddie declared.

Edge Imp Sabres

[LV: 3] [Attribute: Dark]

[Fiend/Effect]

ATK: 1200 DEF: 800

Edge Imp Sabres was a monster of multiple scissors pinned together as the blades glow white. It also had two red glowing eyes. Fluffal Bear and Edge Imp Scissors then started to be lifted into the air as their bodies turned into a bright light, as they merged together.

"Claws of the demon! Fangs of the beast! Become one and reveal your new ghastly form, and tremendous strength!" Eddie chanted.

"Not again." Anna said, terrified.

"I FUSION SUMMON! Appear, horrifying beast that shreds everything! Frightfur Bear!" Eddie declared, placing his violet card on the disk.

Frightfur Bear

[LV: 6] [Attribute: Dark]

[Fiend/Fusion/Effect]

ATK: 2200 DEF: 1800

The Fluffal Bear then reappeared on the field. Its arms then started to move, as its arm burst open to show a larger paw, as it extended showing it was attached to a scissor blade, while the other was in the body. Its stomach was then pierced by another scissor as it then opened up. Its head was separated into two parts. The top part had googly eyes, and the top and bottom had sharp teeth. It also had two glowing evil red eyes in its mouth. Team RWBY was more prepared this time, but were still more terrified.

"Damn… this thing is just as horrific as the last one…" Qrow commented, slightly disgusted by the fact that this monster had a pair of scissors in its stomach area.

"Wonder what this one can do?" Emerald thought aloud.

"I wonder if this deck was actually made to catch duelists off guard, with the cuteness of the Fluffals, and then surprise them with the horror of the Frightfurs." Blake said, as she was a little on edge.

"That would make some sense, playing with the enemy's mind and catch them off guard while they're looking at the Fluffal monsters." Cinder summarized.

"Honestly given our reaction to that lion, I think that's what they were going for." Roman said.

"Well, whoever made it must have a crazy mind!" Ruby said, holding dearly to Weiss.

"I said don't touch me." Weiss said, as she only hugged tighter.

"Note to self: never stick cutting tools into stuffed animals." Yang said, trying to lighten the mood.

"This is bad. Frightfur Bear has higher attack points than Dark Panther. In other words, Zack is about to lose his monster, and his life points will take a hit." Anna said, worried.

Eddie only smiled, as that was not the only thing that would be happening.

"I'm gonna make you regret opposing and making a fool out of me. Frightfur Bear! Attack his Neo-Spacian Dark Panther! Bear Hammer!" Eddie yelled.

Frightfur Bear responded as he then lashed out his right arm, as it then smashed into Dark Panther sending him flying back, as screamed in pain as a cat would, as he then hit the ground with a thud. Blake cringed at a cat like monster getting hit like that. It was about to get worse.

Zackery Aegis: 4000LP – 1200LP = 2800LP

The students of Beacon cringed at the sight, as did Blake's parents, Ilia, and Sienna. "That's going to leave a mark." Sienna muttered.

"Poor cat." Kali said, feeling sorry for Dark Panther.

"Since Frightfur Bear destroyed a monster by battle and sent it to the graveyard, I can take that monster as an equip spell card for Frightfur bear, and he gains 1000 attack points. Frightfur Bear, consume his Dark Panther!"

Most of the people that heard this were confused by the order. "Consume?" Cinder repeated.

"Does that mean…" Tai started to ask with dread in his voice.

Frightfur bear then extended his arm and picked up the unconscious Dark Panther, and brought it close to his mouth. He then dropped him into his mouth, as he literally ate him whole. Being a monster scissor bear was enough, but eating other duel monsters was extremely disturbing for team RWBY. Anna was just as scared. Blake was even more horrified of seeing a cat getting eaten by a bear.

Everyone was shocked at the sight of the demonic teddy bear literally eating another monster, while some were shocked silent at the craziness of it all.

"The monster… ate Dark Panther…" Weiss asked slowly.

Even Cinder was shocked at the portrayal of the monster's ability. "That's both ridiculous and insane." She said in a shocked tone.

"Adding to that, THAT IS SICK!" Neptune shouted in disgust at how the already defeated monster was eaten.

"Come on, Zack, counterattack!" Ruby cheered out of desperation.

Frightfur Bear: 2200ATK + 1000ATK = 3200ATK

"IT ATE HIM!" Team RWBY and Anna screamed, as they had horrified looks on their faces.

"So cruel." Blake said slowly.

Normal duelists get mad at times during some matches, such as losing a good monster. Zack reacted the same, only he looked really mad.

"Why you. No one, and I mean no one, turns my monster into bear chow, and gets away with it buddy. Prepare to visit the world of hurt, at side tourist locations of pain and POW." Zack angrily said, as he put his right foot forward, and clenched his right hand.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot how you humans are so attached to your cards in this world." Eddie mocked.

"Well you should be, because you triggered my face-down, and one of my favorites. Go, Hero Signal!" Zack said, extending his arm upward.

Hero Signal

Trap Card: Normal

The Hero Signal card showed several tall buildings in the night. One of the buildings was projecting a spotlight in the sky with a Heroic letter H. The card then shot out a ray of light into the sky, as it showed an H in the sky.

"Oh cool, just like one of those classic hero calling strategies in most comics." Jaune said, liking the aesthetic of the card.

"Allow me to explain. When you destroy one of my monsters in battle, Hero Signal can summon any Level 4 or below Elemental Hero monster from my deck, and I know just the card to crank up the heat. I summon Elemental Hero Burstinatrix!" Zack declared, grabbing his card.

Elemental Hero Burstinatrix

[LV: 3] [Attribute: Fire]

[Warrior]

ATK: 1200 DEF: 800

Burstinatrix female superhero, who wore a red suit, which covered her entire body, had blue skin, and really long black hair that was white at the hand. Her head was covered by a yellow triangular crown. This instantly became one of Yang's favorite Elemental Hero.

"Now that is what I call a hot gal. But not as hot as me." Yang said, admiring Burstinatrix.

"Oh yeah, definitely one of my new favorites from the Elemental Hero deck." Yang said, grinning at the new monster.

Cinder didn't admit it, but she did like how this particular monster used fire as well.

"She looks even cooler when she is on the field." Ruby said, with excitement.

Blake and Weiss just admit it was a good card, with nice artwork.

"Look here Eddie. You tried to hurt Anna, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang, and now you take one of my monsters and turned him into bear chow. I never thought getting this angry would clear my mind. Every card in my deck is telling me to defeat you!" Zack yelled.

"YEAH, take him down, Zack!" Ruby cheered hyped up for how the duel will continue.

"Show this joker who's boss!" Sun added.

"This kid's definitely got guts when it comes to dueling, take it to him, kid!" Maria cheered with a jovial laughter.

Ozpin and Glynda smiled at Zack's willingness to fight for RWBY and his friend. "That boy would make a fine huntress, don't you think?" Ozpin asked.

"Yes, actually, I feel like he would." Glynda admitted.

"That's the spirit, Zack! Show that monster whose boss!" Yang yelled.

"Our lives may be in your hands, but their decent hands, so use them!" Weiss yelled.

"Use another Hero!" Ruby screamed.

"Avenge your Dark Panther!" Blake yelled.

"You're doing well Zack. Keep it up." Anna yelled, holding her thumb up.

"I doubt it. Soon all your monsters will be consumed by Frightfur Bear, and he'll just get stronger. I'll end my turn now."

"So a monster with 3200 Attack Points on his opponent's field and only soon to be two cards in his hand." James analyzed the situation. "Wonder how he's going to turn this around." He thought aloud.

Winter felt like saying something. "Sir, if I may say, I feel as though there will be nothing to worry about." She said to the general of Atlas.

"I can assure you all that Zack will find a way to turn the tides. We've just got to get to that point." Kai told them. 'Eventually…' He begrudgingly thought in his head.

(To be continued…)

...

Okay, before everyone who's a fan of this fanfic break out the torches and pitchforks at the fact that I'm splitting this chapter into two parts, please hear me out.

I would love for NOTHING more than to break out the victory trumpets and say that I was able to publish the entire length of this chapter on here, but sadly...

This chapter turned out to be the one, people... the chapter that single-handedly broke the record for the most pages that would have resulted from me writing out the full length of it. The total number of pages that I'd end up with, should I have not split this chapter into two parts, would be OVER ONE-HUNDRED!

I HAD TO MAKE THIS INTO TWO PARTS, for both my sanity, and daily life and sleep schedule, and so that I could keep up with my college life.

On a different note, shoutout to triscythe59 for helping me make as much progress as I did when it came to writing the reactions to this chapter, he was a great help and is a great fanfic writer on top of it, I highly recommend reading his content when you get a chance.

P.S: One of the next chapters that I'm gonna try and put is going to be for RWBY Watches Anime: BOFURI or a fanfic revolving around Chaotic, so look forward to it.
