Alright, I'll admit, I'm somewhat a liar. I'm not going to post all four trailers (because this is what this is), but I'm doing the first two. And we have a proposition for you all.
Jessica: See, we had a lot of our (free)time dedicated to figuring out how to name this team. I mean, seriously Vin. You could not pick some people who had easier names to choose one lousy letter and make a word?!
Needless to say, this caused her a few headaches. After a few tries, we decided just to rename Little Mac. *Insert Audience Gasp Here* Yes, you do know that Mac is another way of saying a guy right?
J: But that's the next chapter, so we'll talk more there.
Right, so what name did we eventually picked?
*Drumroll*
J: Team... LOKT (Locket!).
Yeah, sticking to the original. How very original, I know. Try looking at the letters Y/L, O/L, K/B, and T/L and you try coming up with one. We did get one suggestion as Team LLLK (Luck), but after looking at what we had planned for all four of them... We decided against it. But good suggestion, Guest. Did not think of that one. But, anyways, back to the point.
J: This story was based on two concepts from two stories. Carry Their Bodies, and the 8th chapter of Practically Buzzing with Possibilities. This chapter contains scenes that may cause you to cry as if you are chopping an onion. This is an alternative ending to Volume 2's final episode, where the backup came very late into the battle, and there are much, much more Grim then originally seen... Um... Oh yeah, and if you are a fan of Weiss, Ruby or Blake,my hen you may want to leave, because they are only seen a couple of time in this chapter, and it's not a pretty picture. Anything else I missed?
Well, Weiss and Yang were dating, Blake and Yang are a lot closer then shown in canon, to the point of sisterhood for one, and she's not going to have a mental breakdown. And that's all that's left to say. See ya in the box.
~Linebreaker~
During the Breach, many Huntsmen and Huntresses were dispatched to eliminate the number of Grimm in the surrounding area. The ones dispatched were told that they were to clear the zone they were in, before they regrouped with the other Hunters/Huntresses at the main sight with Team RWBY. What they underestimated was the sheer number of Grimm. There were many in the areas that they were deployed in, but they managed to finish them off with limited civilian casualties. But when they reached Ground Zero, instead of finding Team RWBY in the middle of a fight with multiple Grimm, they found the Corpses of several types; Beowolves, Ursas Minors and Majors, a few King Taijitu, a couple of Nevermores, a pair of Death Stalkers, even a Goliath to name a few. At first glance, they would assume that Team RWBY won the fight and saved the day. But, then came the revelation: where exactly are they? After searching the area, someone found the chilling discovery of what transpired. There, laying on the floor, were three bodies, each with different wounds.
Ruby Rose, leader of Team RWBY, expert scythe user, and youngest member of the group, had three Nevermore feathers through her chest. Two of them in mediocre places that could have been easily fixable, but the third cause some problems. The final feather went straight through her heart, dead center. Her death was instant.
Weiss Schnee, Heiress to SDC, expert Dust user and fencer, had a hole through her chest. One of the Death Stalkers managed to get her with its stinger. She bleed out, but not before she stabbed the Death Stalker through it's eye.
Blake Belladonna, former White Fang member, CQC expert, and shadow, had the darkest death. The Goliath that was on the battleground caught Blake off guard, knocking her into a building, staggering her. Two Alpha Beowolves then proceeded to grab both of her arms and legs, before ripping her in half. Her bow laid next her, showing her ears.
They were all circled around the last member of the team, who had her head against her knees as she silently wept for her fallen sister, partner/best friend, and girlfriend. She was cover in scratches and bruises, but she wasn't in with any life threatening injuries. Her name was Yang Xiao Long. And she was the sister of Ruby, the partner/best friend of Blake... And the girlfriend of Weiss. The battle ended several minutes ago, she just couldn't leave her spot.
And so, this was how she was found. Surrounded by the corpse of her teammates, her family. She didn't feel anything, not even when she was being taken into a bullhead to be treated for injuries she suffered, as three bodybags were use to put the three fallen girls away.
Team JNPR was devastated. Nora was crying her eyes out on Ren's shoulder. Ren himself, held back his tear, but a single drop managed to fall. Pyrrha was comforting Jaune, who was blaming himself for not being able to get here first, and the lost of his former crush and first friends.
Team CFVY, although they didn't really knew them all that well, we're also saddened by the development, although none more the Velvet. She remember the last words she said to them, and couldn't help but think she jinxed them. Coco and Yatsuhashi was trying to comfort her.
Oobleck lost his thirst for his drink after learning the fate of the three students that he was shadowing. He blamed himself for not being there. He was suppose to keep them safe, and he failed them. Tonight, he'd be drinking, but not from his coffee cup.
1 day later,
When Yang woke up, she hoped that it was all a bad dream. That she'd be laying down in the campsite. When she found herself in a infirmary bed, in her blood stained clothing, she knew she wasn't dreaming. She'd lost her sister. She lost her best friend. She lost... Weiss. She wanted to cry. She wanted to cry, because of her losses. But she couldn't. She couldn't cry for some reason. At first, she figured she must have ran her tears dry, but it wasn't that.
Professor Ozpin walked in shortly after that. "Good morning, Yang." He greeted politely as he entered.
"... Good morning, professor." She said after a small silence.
"How are you feeling? Yesterday was a... Bad day for all of us... But it must have been much worst for you." He said, choosing his words carefully.
Yang just stared at an open window outside.
"Tired." She said, "Sad, Anger... And..."
She went silent as Ozpin took a seat nearby, looking at her with concern.
"You can tell me Yang." He said as Yang didn't turn.
"... You'd think I'm crazy..." She said as he looked at her curiously.
"You have my word that I won't look at you any differently." He said, trying to get her to open up.
They sat in silence for a while. Ozpin though she wasn't going to open up when she spoke.
"... Comfort." She said finally. "As strange as it seems, the more that I want to cry, to feel sad, the more I feel Ruby, Blake or Weiss trying to comfort me. Maybe all three. But it's there."
She sighed.
"I don't know how, but it feels like they're with me, trying to get me out of my sadness."
They sat in silence as Ozpin finally nodded.
"Sometimes, the bonds we share with others are great, that even after death, we feel them close to us." He commented, as Yang drank it in.
"But it doesn't feel like that." She said, as Ozpin looked at her curiously once again. "It... it feels like they're a part of me. Kind of like my aura. I can feel them, and they're trying to keep me happy."
Ozpin looked at her, before he lowered his head.
"I'm dreadfully so-" He tried to say, but Yang cut him off.
"Don't. You didn't know." She said, glaring at him. "You couldn't have know. You don't have anything to be sorry for. So don't finish that sentence."
Ozpin looked up to her, before nodding. Yang looked out the window.
"When can I leave?" She asked curiously.
"Anytime you wished. It seems your aura has healed your wounds at a remarkable pace." He said, as he stood up from his chair.
"You'll be excused from your classes until you feel better." Yang nodded, and stood up.
"Thanks, Professor Ozpin, but I think I want to go back to my dorm now." She said as she went to the door. "Probably will go back to school tomorrow, can't fall behind now, can I?"
She chuckled at that last part.
"Thanks for the talk, professor."
She left Ozpin in the room. He hadn't expected her to want to leave so soon, nor for her to go back to school. But it wasn't either of those that surprised him the most. No, what surprised him the most was what he saw when she said about falling behind in school. For a moment, he thought he saw her eyes changed from Lical to Light-Blue.

V & J's box of Authors Notes
J: And now I see why there were a few tissues used that day.
Yeah, I'm not going to lie, this actually made me cry a couple of times when I was at home writing this. Anyways, welcome back to the box. Nothing really here for me to say really. We fixed a few mistakes her and there. Namely how Blake died. I thought the Goliath was like a gorrilla looking thing, not a mammoth. So I had to get a bit more creative.
Well, see ya around,
Vindex + Jessica
