Hey everyone! Thanks for giving my story a shot! I really don't have much to say here except point out the obvious that a fanfiction author doesn't own the IP he's writing about. I know right? Completely ridiculous! But in all seriousness, RWBY is the property of Rooster Teeth and the late Monty Oum. Hope you enjoy!
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! GAAAHHHH I'M SUCH A FUCKING FANBOY ARRGHHHHHHHH!" I screamed as I completely lost my shit and geeked out over the site unfolding in front of me. After about 2 and a half hours I was finally able to reclaim some of my sanity as I sat in my recliner and contemplated what I just saw.
"Hooooooly shit." I muttered to myself. "Ubisoft you mad geniuses! You could've just said 'ehhh fuck it' and retconned her out but no, you decided to pull a fucking Marvel. To think, over the past 8 years, millions of people have seen the face of the cofounder of the ENTIRE Assassin's Brotherhood while playing Assassin's Creed 2. Damn Bayek got shafted in terms of recognition, poor guy. Though to be fair, his ex-wife is the one who assassinates both Julius Caesar and Cleopatra so if that didn't have the result it did I'd be surprised."
After checking the time, I decided that I should probably start getting ready to go to sleep. I slowly got out of the chair and after stretching my aching joints, walked over to my 2 Basset Hounds, Tex and Emma, who were both sleeping on the floor. I smiled at how adorable it looked since it seemed almost as if they were cuddling each other. But knowing I had class tomorrow, I snapped myself out of my daze and clapped my hands waking the snoozing siblings up. At first, they were confused but when they saw me leaning over them they got their usual giant dopey grins plastered onto their faces.
I chuckled at this and began walking over to the back door. "Okay guys it's getting late so I need you to do your business fast so we can all go to bed." Picking up on what was happening the twins quickly chased after me excited that they were going outside. I opened the door a crack and paused to turn and look at them and added, "Oh, and if I hear either of you go ballistic you are both sleeping in your kennels." As soon as those words left my mouth I opened the door resulting in the Basset Hounds trampling each other to get outside. I once again chuckled at their antics and went back to my recliner and started the 10-minute timer and began scrolling through my twitter feed.
As soon as the timer went off, I quickly ran to get the back door open so I could get the dogs inside and back to sleep. I opened the door to see the two dumbasses running face first into the ledge in front of the door to which they both quickly brushed off and went prancing off to their beds. "Ahhh it's a good thing they're cute cause they sure don't have much going on upstairs" I mumbled to myself as I followed them to the bedroom.
After putting on my sleepwear, which consisted of a Warcraft shirt and X-Wing pajama pants I got from Loot Crate, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Looking at myself in the mirror I knew I wasn't the most attractive guy. I was 22 with unkempt brown hair on both my head and my face. I sighed looking down at my stomach knowing that I was getting a bit more rotund ever since I quit marching band
Once I had finished brushing, I put my toothbrush back on its charger and walked out of the bathroom to see Tex and Emma both asleep on their beds. Knowing it was time for me to do the same, I turned off the lights, slid onto my bed, took off my glasses, and almost instantly conked out.
My alarm went off at 6:00 AM waking both me and my dogs up. I then went through my usual Monday morning routine which consisted of letting the twins outside, eating breakfast, brushing my teeth, and getting dressed. I settled on my red Street Fighter V shirt with the word "FIGHT!" emblazoned on the front, and after checking the weather and seeing a 70% chance of rain put on blue jeans and my yellow and blue Vault 111 hoodie and rolled up the sleeves.
After I made sure that everything I needed was in my NES messenger bag, I locked my dogs in their kennels and told them, "Don't give me that face. I love you guys but you know as well as I do that I can't trust you to have free reign of the house while I'm not here." I then grabbed my bag and walked out to my car which was my grandfather's old truck that he left me along with the house after he passed. I hopped into the driver's seat, slid the keys into the ignition, and began making my way to campus.
I was a junior at Sam Houston State University where I was majoring in History with the hopes of becoming a High School history teacher. My logic behind that decision wasn't that I necessarily felt a call to follow this career path, it was more along the lines of during my first two years, History was the subject that I somehow got A's in despite my constant bullshitting my through college so I thought that I might as put my efforts towards something I'm fairly decent in. Though I would be lying if I said I didn't want to try to help balance out the great teachers with the shitty ones.
But today, I had to put up with the last credit of my core curriculum: Science, more specifically Astronomy. After parking my truck, I walked into the Farrington Building, Sam's designated classroom building for any and all Physics/ Physics-related courses, and sat down in the hallway and looked at the building directory and, being the geek I am, got a good chuckle out of it. It listed three quotes from three different scientists. The first was Albert Einstein, the second I actually don't recall but I think it was Isaac Asimov but take that with a grain of salt. However, what really stood out was the third quote, "'Cheeseburger first' -Tony Stark"
After pulling my attention away from the directory, I pulled out my 3DS and started playing "Tales of the Abyss" for the next couple of hours waiting for my professor, Dr. Martin to show up and unlock the door. I know that showing up that early sounds a bit excessive but when you live in a suburb near downtown Houston and have to commute all the way to Huntsville and back, you learn to plan ahead in case of any accidents or at the very least navigate through the ridiculous amount of roadwork on 290. I think ProJared said in his video on "Ride to Hell: Retribution" that the game had more road work going on in it than all of Texas. Well Mr. Knabenbauer, I respectfully disagree.
It wasn't until about 45 minutes until class that I saw out of the corner of my eye someone walking in my direction, and I had a pretty damn good feeling that I knew who it was. "Hey Logan, how was your weekend?" I heard him greet me. It was at that point that I knew that assumption was on the nose so I closed my 3DS and answered, "Eh, nothing special. Just sat at home playing the new Assassin's Creed from beginning to end. Dude I swear by the end of it if it wasn't for the adrenaline from geeking out over the ending, I'm pretty sure my legs would've fucking atrophied. But in all honesty literally nothing happened outside of that. What about you King?"
King wasn't his real name, well his first name at least. His real name's Travis King, the reason that, not just me but everyone, calls him King is that the dude could pass as a clone of Henry VIII. It also didn't help that he's been in and out of so many relationships since high school it would make even his namesake blush. But despite all that insanity, the dude's been my closest friend since I moved to Cypress from inner Houston.
We met at some summer camp after 5th grade that my parents sent me off to so I'd have some friends that would be at my new school. The two of us by chance or luck or whatever you want to call it got assigned to the same bunk. The guy pieced together that I was new and made it his mission to break me out of my shell. The dumbass did this by somehow actually managing to convince everyone else in the cabin that it was a good idea to take all our dirty underwear and tie it together as some kind of makeshift zipline. Needless to say, the consolers were pissed. But I couldn't have been more entertained. We've been neck-deep in each other's ever since.
"Even less on my end. All I did was eat, sleep, and occasionally shit. Oh, but I did get manage to upgrade my account on Rooster Teeth's website to First so I managed to see the new episode of RWBY and le-"
"EH BUH BUH BUP BUP BUP!" I quickly interrupted him to prevent him from finishing his sentence. "No goddamn spoilers! What the hell is wrong with you? You got First? Good for you. You saw the new episode? Whoop de fucking doo. You plan on telling me note for note what happens in the episode? I am going to tear your goddam head off and shit down your neck." King just rolled his eyes and responded gasping and with a blatantly facetious tone in his voice replied, "An empty threat upon my life? Just what I always wanted." I pulled my 3DS back out and muttered just loud enough so that he could hear me, "I'm pretty sure the X-Rays you got for your concussion prove that the threat's not the only thing that's empty" He then gave me a hurt stare and responded defensively, "Hey lots of people get concussions while playing sports." I gave a flat and unamused glare. "You were repeatedly headbutting the goal post while plastered. Sport, it is not." To which he just chuckled and gave me the finger.
Eventually, the rest of my class started showing up and began waiting as well until we finally caught eye of Dr. Martin coming down the hallway to let us into the classroom. As soon as the door was opened we each slowly got up off the ground and began walking to our respective seats. Once we were all settled, he quickly pulled up the PowerPoint for today's lecture.
"Okay on Friday, you learned that the accelerating expansion of the universe is due to distortions in space-time that are given off by all of the matter in the universe" Dr. Martin began. "But through careful analysis of these distortions, Astronomers have determined that there is a common point of origin. The curious thing about this exact calculated moment, is that, as you'll learn in this week's lab, it's at most seconds apart from the age of the universe as calculated via the Hubble Constant. This discovery led the conception of what is commonly known as the Big Bang Theory." As usual he was going way too fast for anyone to actually take the time to wrap their heads around what he was saying. But at the mention of the Big Bang, the man had my full attention. "Very little, if anything at all, is known for certain about the actual event but-"
"Are there any theories?" He looked over at me confused. "Pardon?"
"Theories? You know, like an educated guess as to why the damn thing happened. Are there any?" At this, Dr. Martin gave a face of deep thought for a long while to which he eventually sighed. "Yes Mr. Blank, there is one. But considering it's practically tapdancing on the very fine line between reality and science-fiction, I wouldn't give it the time of day."
"Okay now you've peaked my interest. Don't leave me hanging."
"Mr. Blank, I'll be more than happy to tell you more about it after class but I have to make sure that this material is taught because if you weren't aware there is an exam on Friday and your grade on the last one left a lot to be desired." I groaned knowing that he had me beat. King snickered at this and whispered, "Damn that was savage!" to which I grabbed my notebook and hit him in the back of the head with it.
Team RWBY along with Zwei sat on the edge of Beacon's courtyard looking out at the city of Vale as numerous Atlesian Bullheads soared through the city's skyline surveying the damages sustained from the breach. "Well, we did it" stated one Yang Xiao Long. "We did it" said her teammate and partner Blake Belladonna in agreement.
"If we don't get extra credit for that, I'm going to be seriously disappointed" Weiss Schnee stated matter-of-factly. "Weiss, a two-headed snake literally crushed a bakery. I wouldn't count on it" Yang pointed out. "Plus, I mean, we didn't solve everything. A lot of people were hurt, and we still don't even know why they did this, or who that mystery girl was" explained their leader, Ruby Rose, with a very evident sense of worry in her voice.
"Well, not every story has a neat and tidy ending" stated Weiss to her partner. "We might not have all of the answers, but we do have a lot of dangerous people behind bars. And I think that's something we can be proud of" Blake reassured their leader. "Yeah. And if anyone tries something like this again, we'll be there to stop them." Ruby exclaimed confidently. At this Yang leaned back resting her head on the ground and, clearly exhausted, groaned out, "Yay. Teamwork, camaraderie, good guys, go team, alright good job" followed by Zwei mimicking her by flopping onto his back. She then leaned up slightly on one of her elbows and asked, "So, what now?"
"I'd suggest training for the tournament, but…I think we have that covered at this point" hesitantly admitted Weiss to which Blake replied by asking, "So then…?"
"Uh, time for bed?" suggested their leader. To this, Weiss and Blake agreed almost simultaneously with a, "Oh please, yes" and "Absolutely" coming from each respectively. "I'm going to sleep forever" Yang exclaimed as she, her teammates, and Zwei began making their way back to their dorm room.
"And we'll continue from there on Wednesday. Remember to submit your lab report through dropbox before then or you will be penalized" Dr. Martin explained as slowly but surely the class began to gather their things and leave the room. Once everyone else had left the room he slowly turned to me and sighed. "Sooooo, the theory?" I asked confused on how to get this conversation going.
"It's called the M Theory. And before you ask, the M stands for multiverse" Dr. Martin explained. He paused for a second and asked, "Do you remember that video I showed that showed how the Andromeda Galaxy and ours will collide and merge in approximately 4 to 5 billion years?" to which I nodded. "It's pretty much the same principle but with entire universes. The theory continues to state that if the space-time distortions of both universes are approximately the same, the two will merge into a completely new universe through a Big Bang."
"But, what about what will happen if the difference between the two universes' distortions too great to result in a Big Bang?" I asked out of confusion.
As team RWBY and Zwei were walking through Beacon's courtyard towards the dormitory building, everything vanished. The beautiful gardens they had become familiar with had been replaced by endless stretches of white light that burned their skin with intense pain of a thousand suns. "Wha, what's happe-!" shrieked Weiss as an omniscient flame engulfed her leaving nothing behind. Blake stared horrified at where the heiress stood just moments before. "This doesn't make any se-!" screamed Blake as she vanished in a similar manner. "Awo-" howled Zwei as he immediately followed the previous two.
"Keep in mind Mr. Blank that this is all theoretical" Dr. Martin reminded me before continuing, "But, according to the M theory, the universe with of the two with the least distortions and thusly less matter…will have every piece of matter broken down to its most basic elements to be repurposed within the universe with the greater distortions."
Ruby was more terrified than she had ever been in her whole life. She had just watched Weiss and Blake, two of her best friends and even her dog go through excruciating pain before quite literally fading away before her eyes. "RUBY! RUBY LOOK AT ME!" screamed Yang over the intense pain that she was facing. Ruby turned to look at her sister who had tears running down her face. "No matter what happens next, I just want you to know that you are the bravest, strongest, and most talented person I could have ever had the privilege to know. I am so proud to be your sister. Say hi to mom for me" At this moment Yang locked her eyes with her sister's, and the next she was gone. Ruby was now alone in this tortuous eternal void waiting for her inevitable demise. Realizing that the pain was continuing to skyrocket she closed her eyes and prepared to embrace oblivion.
"So, if we were on the losing end of that?" I asked even though I had a pretty good idea as to what the answer would end up being. "Instantaneous end of all existence in our universe" He said without skipping a beat confirming my fears.
"Would there be any possible way to survive an event like that" I asked more out of fear than curiosity to which Dr. Martin simply scoffed and replied facetiously, "Not unless the human body somehow has a literal force field to protect it. Now if we are done can you please get Mr. King to stop fogging the windows with his breath so he can draw penises"
Wow. Never again will I throw shit at an author just because the chapters weren't long enough. I don't think my fingers have ever cramped this badly before in my life. Probably wasn't a good idea to write all this in under 24 hours. All things in moderation and shit like that. So, with that in mind I'm not gonna give an exact date for chapter 2 but instead am just gonna try and have it out by the end of November. Sound good? Great. There are a few things I want to clarify here that will no doubt be asked. First off, no, RWBY is not dead. I hinted at this (in an even less subtle way than the Final Destination films do over not getting too attached to the cast) but their auras protected them and anyone else with theirs unlocked. Secondly, what does this mean for characters like Whitley and Jacques Schnee. It means they're dead that's what it means. Yeah, I'm literally killing off every single citizen of Remnant with locked aura. And with that out of the way I'm tagging out. Later!
