Chapter 1: Initial D-eja vu
Disclaimer: I'll say it at the beginning and remind you every chapter, I don't own either series.
Also, this Is a sequel to my previous story, dimension slipper. Some things might not make sense if you haven't read that one first.
"Okay, Ruby? I know how you feel about the whole 'having my main character position usurped' thing, but maaaybe trying to imitate an accident that might end up killing us is a bad idea."
Yang wasn't sure how to handle this, normally SHE came up with the stupid ideas and her team worked it out into something that would work. She had no idea how to deal with someone else doing the stupid plan making.
"Relax! It'll totally be fine! I go in, I give you a call, we count to three and BOOM! We end up wherever and the story will HAVE to focus on us!" The younger sister reassured the blonde.
It didn't really work, but Yang could never say no to those puppy eyes.
And thanks to that, she was standing here next to the portal connecting Remnant to the Hyperdimension.
With a backpack full of share crystals, her own nation's sharicite and about to collide headfirst with murphy's law.
At least they had magic Goddess powers and the ability to fly now, that would probably help if Ruby's idea ended up landing them in some abandoned old place that still had Grimm around or something like that.
Her scroll ringing broke her out of her thoughts.
"You're ready right?! Come on Yang, we're going to get our own story arc! On three! Two! One!"
Yang really wished that Blake and Weiss hadn't been too busy to come along.
Regardless, Yang rushed forward into the portal.
Interdimensional bonking sound 2.0
Above a familiar academy's forest, two girls fell through a flashy portal in the sky.
"Owww..." Ruby groaned as she pulled herself from the cartoon-like crater her landing caused.
"Hey, sis? A little help here?" Turning towards Yang's voice, Ruby tried and failed to stop herself from chuckling.
Yang was hanging upside down, tangled in the branches of a tree.
"Come on, do you really think I'd fall for that sis? I've seen you punch boulders larger than that to bits!"
"Yeah, well I can hardly punch the tree until all my problems go away if I can't move, now can I?" Yang snarked.
Ruby's eyes widened, if her sister was talking like Weiss, then that meant that she was serious about her predicament!
"All right, just hand me one of the crystal thingies and I'll get you out!"
"Ruby for the last time, I can't move! Just use crescent rose and cut me down already!"
However, despite her admirable attempts, Ruby couldn't reach the branches no matter how high she jumped.
"Hang tight Yang, I've got an idea!" Ruby zipped away, leaving Yang with only a trail of rose petals for company.
Using her semblance, Ruby shot through the suspiciously familiar forest like a bullet. Now all she had to do was find something or someone to help her get Yang out of that tree-
Ruby hit the brakes as her eye caught just what she needed. A group of four fighting a bunch of Grimm.
Unaware of the girl about to make her move, team STRQ were fending off a large group of Beowolves.
Raven was going on an all-out assault, cutting down the Grimm one-by-one.
One of the Beowolves tried to attack her from behind, but Summer took it out before it even came close.
Qrow and Taiyang joined them soon after, they would be done with this in a minute if nothing went wrong right now.
Of course, something went wrong. An alpha Beowolf, to be exact.
Qrow swore under his breath, they could handle an alpha or two, but with this many smaller ones still around?
When he saw a girl rushing out into the clearing, he relaxed a bit. A second team would help even the odds.
"Hey sorry guys but I gotta lend this one for a second!" The girl yelled before grabbing the alpha and dragging it along with her.
Every member of team STRQ blinked. Even the remaining Grimm halted in confusion for a few seconds.
"We'll go see what that was about later! Let's just finish these off first!" Raven yelled as she threw herself back into the fray.
While they were fighting the remaining Beowolves, Ruby made her way back to Yang with the alpha.
Tossing the alpha next to the tree Ruby waited for it to get up before staring at it really hard.
Nothing happened. Yang sighed.
"Just give me a second, okay? I haven't used this in a while!" Ruby glared at the Grimm in several different ways.
Eventually, her eyes flashed and turned the Grimm into stone.
A stone she then used as a platform to reach Yang. Cutting her sister down with crescent rose, Ruby hadn't noticed the four people from earlier hiding in the nearby bushes.
"Hey, don't those two look familiar? I mean, that one's pretty much a mini-me! And the other looks like Raven with Taiyang's hair colour!" Summer noted.
"She has to be pretty strong to drag that alpha all the way through the forest. I can't wait to fight them!" Raven tightened her grip on her sword.
"Shouldn't we be helping her get that other girl out of that tree instead of hiding here?" Taiyang asked.
Qrow groaned, every other member of this team was insane. Were they just going to ignore the fact that the girl just turned that Grimm into stone?
"Hey sis, it's nice that you got me out of that tree and all, but would you mind introducing your new friends?"
Ruby looked around in confusion at her sister's words.
Team STRQ came out of their hiding place, Raven and Qrow ready to fight, Taiyang interested in learning about these strangers and Summer...
"Wow! You really look like a tiny me! I'm Summer, what's your name?"
Ruby would have gladly responded and probably freaked out if she wasn't being shaken around by Summer's exited barrage of questions and surprisingly strong grip.
Ruby was freed from the dangerous clutches of Summer, the girl immediately apologizing when she realized that she'd gone a bit too far.
Once the world stopped spinning, Ruby realized that the four in front of them looked rather familiar.
One of them especially. Someone she hadn't seen in quite a while.
"Jaune, what are you doing here?! And when did you get a tan?!" Ruby ran up to Taiyang and looked him over.
Yang let out a breath she was holding. "Phew, I almost thought you were gonna say that they kinda look like our parents and uncle Qrow and make this really awkward-"
The four members of STRQ turned to Yang, who facepalmed at her own stupidity.
Summer was curious, Taiyang was still processing what had just been said and Raven and Qrow were glaring at the two with suspicion now.
Meanwhile, back in the Remnant we know
If you happened to stand anywhere near the newly built 'bigger, better and obviously superior to my father's tower tower' (which also functioned as Atlas's Basilicom) you'd hear its owner, Weiss Schnee, doing what she's best at. Yelling.
"Exactly what do you mean by 'there's been an incident with the portal to the Hyperdimension'?!"
On the other side of the call, Nepgear sheepishly tried to explain again.
"W-well, we still don't know exactly what happened, but it seems like someone missed or ignored the warnings and used the portal at the same time as someone on the other side. Like the accident that brought our sisters to your world. Histoire is trying to find out where they ended up, but she said she'd need three days."
Weiss was about to reply when a voice message from Ruby popped up.
"Hey Weiss! I'm about to go get my main character position back by crashing into that portal thing with Yang! If I get my position back, plot armor will keep me safe until I get back, so don't worry! Singed, your BFF Ruby!"
Weiss read it a few more times just to be sure. And then she snapped.
"Did she really just put herself in danger of never being found again just to get the role of main character?!"
Weiss took a deep breath. So she could shout her anger to the world.
"RUBY YOU DELUSIONAL IDIOOOOOOOOOOOT!"
A nearby potted plant burst apart to reveal Kurome. "Ahh, my favorite word!"
"Wait, what are you doing here-" Weiss's questions were interrupted by Uzume jumping from behind a giant portrait of Weiss hanging on the wall.
"How did you even hide behind that there isn't even any space between it and the wall-"
"Whenever your problems appear, the Nep detective agency will be there!"
The final intrusion was made when one of the slides on her desk opened up to reveal the adult Neptune.
"Okay Weiss, just roll with it. You've seen weirder things. I'm pretty sure I can do weirder things than this if I tried, so there's no need to freak out." Weiss took a quick break to calm down before asking the one thing on her mind.
"Since when where you people detectives?"
"Since, like, two days ago when we hid ourselves in your office until we found something to do!" Uzume enthusiastically informed her.
"It was either babysitting these two or doing community service with that Rei woman." Kurome explained.
"Anyways, we overheard your business about Ruby and Yang getting lost in another dimension, so we came to find them! As long as you can pay the detective fee that is!" Big Nep pointed to the heiress and struck a dramatic pose.
"And how much is this 'detective fee'?" Weiss asked while raising an eyebrow.
"One million! ...cups of pudding, that is!" Big Nep gave her demands.
"Well, I'd like something cool like those gauntlets Yang has!" Uzume went off on another daydream, which the others ignored.
"I want humanity to suffer for the rest of eternity!" Kurome then remembered where she was and coughed.
"sorry, it's still a habit to say things like that... I'll just take a few puddings as well..."
Once the awkward atmosphere ceased, Weiss decided to trust them.
"Fine, if you can find them and get them back here safely, I'll see to getting what you asked for. Except for the suffering thing."
"Look I told you it wasn't like that! I've been practicing those maniacal speeches for like eighty years, it's not THAT weird if I slip up every now and then is it?!" Kurome said.
"Well let's ignore all of that and go fix all the problems right now!" Big Nep pulled out her Nep-note and opened a portal with Croire's powers.
"Hey wait a minute! Do you even know where to look? It's not like they'll get any older but aren't there infinite parallel worlds? How are you ever going to find them if you just- aaand they already left." Weiss sighed again.
"It's hard to keep up with people from Gamindustri isn't it?" Blake noted after leaving her ninja hiding spot.
"WHY DO YOU PEOPLE KEEP HIDING IN WEIRD PLACES IN MY OFFICE?!"
Meanwhile, in Planeptune (HD)
"Heya Nep jr.! What are you doing all the way over in histy's room?" The smaller Neptune asked her sister.
"Well, it looks like Ruby and Yang got stuck in another dimension while trying to become this story's main characters. I was talking about what we should do with Weiss, but she forgot all about me when both Uzume's and the other Neptune showed up." Nepgear expositioned.
"Oh, that's bad, but I'm sure they'll be fine- wait... did you say Ruby tried to become the main character?!"
Neptune turned to her sister with a nearly OOC amount of seriousness.
"W-well, that's what the letter she left said." The younger sister stammered.
"Nobody steal MY main character spot! I gotta go on my own adventure, fast!" And so, Neptune sped off.
"Ah, wait! There was a problem in town, and Iffy and Compa aren't around to help! We need to go help!" Nepgear chased after her sister.
"We don't have time for that! Send in the B-team! I have to protect my spotlight!"
"T-the B-team?! But it's just Roman and Neo robbing a bank, are you sure you want to do that to them?"
"Just call them and have those two deal with it! I gotta roll out at the speed of sound!" And then Neptune ran off into the distance.
"Ohh, I hope they won't hurt mr. Torchwick and his friend too much..."
The Planeptune Special Emergency Game Attackers, also known as SEGA, were made up of famous heroes from Planeptune. Iffy and Compa usually made up the A-team, since they were best friends with the CPU's and could go anywhere without problems, as well as being good in a fight.
But the B-team. Those were in a different league all together. Two of the most (in)famous heroes of Planeptune. Who had never failed to stop a problem and make sure it never happened again. Whether it was punch-happy thugs or people who weren't playing the Nepga Venus. Two legends only known by their code names.
Nepgear took out her N-gear and made the phone call that would land Roman in jail at best. It was a good thing she could just go to the options menu and switch her language to Japanese, otherwise this call would be a lot harder.
"Hello? Ah, Mr. Saturn! It's me, Nepgear. My sister told me to call you for help with the Bank heist Roman Torchwick is doing right now. Oh, Mr. Dragon is with you already? You'll go there and deal with it right now? Okay, thank you!"
Nepgear just hoped that this story wouldn't end with a lot of hospitals getting full.
Surprise, guess who finally got off his lazy ass and wrote this? I'm going to take this one slower, but i'll never stop until it's finished.
If you're curious who the 'B-team' is, it's a pair of pretty well-known (i guess) characters from the company Nep-nep represents.
one of them is a walking meme and the other sings karaoke in the daylight and beats up punks and yakuza in the moonlight.
Anyways, hope you'll enjoy this one.
