Prologue
The universe. Or should I say universes. Yes, there are many universes, existing side-by-side, completely unaware of all the others that exist. Not only that, but there are many copies of each universe being made every day. Now, I'm sure this is a lot to take in, so please let me explain. In the beginning, there was a single universe, and in that universe was a species. This species was not that much different from any other animal you may come across, except for their brilliant minds. They discovered and quickly became bored of the limitations of their universe and began seeking ways to satisfy their need for the impossible. After some time, a few powerful members of this species came forward and tried to create their stories in the physical universe. But this was not possible, as they wanted to do what was against the laws of their universe. However, their thoughts could not be silenced and began to strain the universe, so instead their ideas and stories were pushed outside the universe's borders and became their own. No longer tied down by their previous restrictions, the strong members of this species continued to grow their universes and their stories. These members were hence forth known as the Great Beings. Over time, almost every story possible was created, from enormous robots fighting in the depths of space, to a man who can wield the life of a planet itself as a weapon. The Great Beings created many stories for the others of their species to enjoy and most were content. However, there were some who wished to change the stories or even to combine them. Using the universes made by the Great Beings as the foundation, many Lesser Beings began to create their own versions of the existing stories. As they did, more universes were made, branching out of the originals. The number of stories and universes grew exponentially as now anyone was able to create these new stories.
I am one of these beings and this is my story...
"Yang! What were you thinking! I was in a perfect position to take out that Ursa!"
"Well I'm sorry princess, but you never said you were behind it! You should've moved after I hit it! Seriously, who just stands there and gawks as a dead grimm is flying toward them!"
"Girls, calm down. We still won in the end, right?"
"Uh, Ruby? I think we should just stay out of this..."
Well, I should say their story. Throughout this adventure we will follow Team RWBY as a chance discovery leads them to many hours of fun, laughter, teamwork, and sorrow. Watch as they climb new ranks, learning more about themselves in the process. Witness as they take on a challenge they never have before! Um... At least until Volume 2 Chapter 4, but that doesn't really count! The Paladin is too small to even be a light mech and its weapon loadout is too heavy for its chassis and...I'm sorry I got a bit off track there, where was I?...Oh yes.
We begin on a seemingly normal Friday at Beacon Academy...
