Prologue: Leaving Beacon!


In the dead of night at Beacon Academy, we find ourselves in the courtyard of the prestigious school for huntsmen. All was quiet in the dead of night except for the footsteps of two certain individuals. Both students of the academy, and members of two of its best teams of young huntsmen and huntresses.

Both of these students are blondes, but there are some differences between them. The most obvious being that one is male, the other is female. The girl has long golden blonde hair with a single *ahoge on top of her head, gentle lilac eyes and flawless skin. She has that perfect hourglass figure that many women strive for and that most men seem to favor. She's currently wearing a pair of shorts, an orange tank top and a pair of brown combat boots.

The boy has medium length messy blonde hair, ocean blue eyes and clear skin. His build is lean and compact like an olympic swimmer, but due to wearing baggy clothes all the time he appears scraggly to others. Speaking of clothes, he is currently wearing a black hoodie, a pair of worn blue jeans, and a pair of sneakers. If one were to look closely, you'd see the words 'left' and 'right' written on each individual shoe.

These two students are Jaune Arc and Yang Xiao Long, the 'J' and the 'Y' in teams JNPR and RWBY. But neither of them seem to be very happy at Beacon, if the bags slung over their shoulders as they snuck out in the dead of night were any indication.

Neither of them really liked being at Beacon anymore for reasons that neither were quite willing to disclose. But a main reason for Yang is that there was a serious case of sexual harassment being thrown her way by most of the males in the student body. And none of the teachers were doing anything about it! I guess they prefer a sink or swim style of teaching their students.

As for Jaune… He's going through a lot of pain in his own life, both physical and emotional. Between having become Team CRDL's personal punching bag and all of the hurtful and spiteful words and actions despite his attempts to improve as a hunter, it's just become too much for him.

So he spoke with Yang earlier that day and they found out that they both planned to leave Beacon and Vale for a little while. So they packed up the essentials and began to leave the academy forever. But that just left one question.

"Where do we go from here, Jaune?" Yang asked.

She honestly felt bad for leaving Ruby alone at this place, but she couldn't handle the pain anymore! If she had to put up with one more boy trying to grope her or feel her up, she was going to punch someone through a wall! And Jaune probably wouldn't have stopped her.

"Honestly, I don't know. We could just go where the wind takes us, but then again, we'd probably get lost not even halfway on our journey if we did." Jaune replied.

"Ya got that right!"

The teens jumped about three feet in the air and yelped in fright at the sudden voice. The looked to where the voice came from and saw a man sitting at an open window of a log cabin that was NOT in Beacon's courtyard just a minute ago.

'When did that cabin get here? When did HE get here?!' Yang mentally asked herself.

"Who are you?" Jaune asked.

The man just laughed and walked out of the cabin. The two teens got a good look at him and noticed these gill slits on his neck, and the fact that he was blindfolded and wearing dark pink fur pelts. But he was also wearing a top hat and had this essence of a voodoo user around him.

"Ah yes, where are my manners? I am Yami, the god of this world. And I'm here to help you both, Jaune Arc and Yang Xiao Long."

Jaune looked a little skeptical at that statement, but Yang just scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, right. Some weirdo with a god complex is gonna help us?" Yang asked sarcastically. "That's just rich!"

Yami narrowed his eyes behind his blindfold and snarled. If there's one thing he doesn't like more than Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes, it's people who doubt and disrespect his power. Nevertheless, he has a mission to help these children, and he will gladly do so!

...In song form!

"Don't you disrespect me, little lady!" Yami snapped as music began to ring through the air.

"Little?!" Yang asked, feeling a bit ticked at such a nickname.

"Don't you derogate or deride!" Yami continued before he started to sing.

You're in my world now, not your world.

And I got friends on the other side…!

Voices: He's got friends on the other side…!

"That's an echo right there. Nothin' to be scared of, kids. Just a little parlor trick we have back home."

Yami lead the two blondes into his cabin and removed their bags before placing them near a desk as he continued to sing.

Sit down at my table,

Put your minds at ease,

If you relax it will enable me to do anything I please.

Yami high fived his shadow as he began to dance to the jazzy tune ringing in the air. Something that amazed his two young guests at how fluently the apparent god could dance.

I can read your future,

I can change it around some too,

I'll look deep into your heart and soul…

"You've got a soul, don't ya blondie?" Yami asked Jaune.

The boy just nodded in response. He took out random objects that had to do with dark magic such as shrunken heads, voodoo dolls and a live chicken. Though why the chicken, I don't know.

Make your wildest dreams come true!

I got voodoo, I got hoodoo,

I got things I ain't even tried!

And I got friends on the other side…!

Jaune and Yang: He's got friends on the other side…!

Neither of them knew what drove them to sing that part, but they did it anyway. Yami then grinned and took out a deck of cards before performing a bunch of tricks to shuffle the deck.

The cards, the cards, the cards will tell,

The past, the present and the future as well!

The cards, the cards,

Just take three.

Both blondes took three cards, feeling excited about this little trick. Maybe this Yami guy can help them find their calling in life by reading their future.

Take a little trip into your future with me!

He laid the three cards that each blonde took and laid them face down in front of them. As he sang these lyrics, he flipped a card over to show Jaune's family history.

Now you, young man, you're livin' near the sea,

You come from two long lines of royalty.

"I'm a royal myself on my mother's side." Yami said as he flipped over another card.

Your family life's high,

But your funds are low,

You didn't want to use your family name to make that dough!

"Had your mom and dad cut you off, eh kiddo?" Yami asked.

"Yeah, my family may be rich, but we don't like to flaunt our money around like SOME PEOPLE I know." Jaune replied.

Yami smiled and nodded at that. Humility is an admirable trait amongst the privileged.

"I understand. But now you gotta become a huntsman, but being a huntsman means a heavy burden and a bunch of ingrates. You just wanna be free, hop from place to place. But freedom… takes green."

Yami then laid out the cards and flipped them over, turning them into Lien bills.

It's the green, it's the green,

It's the green you need!

He flipped the Lien over, reverting them back into cards before he made them disappear. Then he flipped over the last card to show a picture of Jaune loaded with money made by his blood, sweat and tears. And sharing that wealth with him in a humble home was a loving family of his own.

And when I look into your future,

It's the green that I see!

Yami turned to Yang and began to sing what he knew about her. Despite her attitude and her good relationship with Ruby, all isn't as it seems. He flipped over a card to show her being abused by her dad and uncle while Ruby just was a little bossy to her before she eventually grew out of it.

And you, young lass, I don't want to waste much time!

You been pushed around all your life!

You been pushed around by your daddy, and your sister and your uncle!

And if dad remarried,

Yami flipped over a card to show Yang being whipped by an evil stepmother who looked ugly as hell in the card's picture.

You'd be pushed around by his wife.

But in your future, the you I see…

Yami flipped over the last card to show Yang healed emotionally and physically with a loving family of her own. Even a full grown Ruby was in the picture.

Is exactly the gal you always wanted to be!

Yami then held his hands out to the two teenagers.

"Shake my hand." Yami requested.

But Yang and Jaune didn't respond. They just stared with big, silly grins on their faces. Yami smiled as his plan was beginning to come to fruition.

"Come on, kids, won't you shake a poor god's hand?" Yami asked.

This time, they didn't hesitate. They shook Yami's outstretched hands and all three began to glow with holy energy as a portal began to open up beneath them.

"Yeeeesss…!"

The music began to pick up as several voodoo spirits such as drumming voodoo dolls and dancing tikis joined in the song.

Yami: Are you reaaaaady?

Voodoo Chorus: Are you reaaaaady?

Yami: Are you reaaaaaaaady?

Yami began dancing around with the voodoo dolls as Jaune and Yang began to dance with each other, true smiles adorning their faces as they also sang.

Yami: Transformation central!

Jaune and Yang: Transformation central!

Yami: Reformation central!

Jaune and Yang: Reformation central!

Yami: Transmogrification central!

Can you feeeeel it?

You're changing, you're changing, you're changing alright!

I hope you're satisfied.

'Cause if Ozpin ain't,

He can't blame me,

He can blame my friends on the other… siiiiiiiiiiide!

Voodoo Chorus: Ya got what ya wanted,

And it's just what ya need!

Jaune and Yang sunk into the portal which closed behind them as the song ended and the voodoo spirits disappeared. Yami vanished into the shadows along with his cabin, unaware that a dusty old crow had seen everything that had happened.

"Oh geez… I gotta report this to Ozpin!" Qrow said to himself in a rare moment of being sober.

One thing's for sure, nothing's gonna be the same around these parts anymore. Especially if Salem witnessed what just happened here.


*To Be Continued…*
