Chapter Two
The gang were surprised at what they saw. The two girls from before, Rin and Ayaka, stood before them. They had different outfits on and wielding strangely glowing weapons.
"Are you guys okay?" Rin approached Weiss and Ruby, "It seems that creature almost killed-" Suddenly, Rin stopped because Weiss pointed Myrtenaster at Rin's throat.
"Don't come any closer!" Weiss yelled, "Now, tell me who you guys are?"
Ayaka saw this scene, "Rin! Don't worry, I'll-"
"Ayaka! Don't move! Everything will be alright." Rin didn't flinch nor move as a rapier was getting closer towards her throat. "You are trying to kill me yet you are injury yourself." Rin said calmly. "Let's not be aggressive and let me help you."
"Don't! Not until you answer my questions: Who are you guys? What are you weidling? How did you take down that gigantic monster?... Where are you from?" Weiss asked loudly and frighteningly.
"I'll answer your question, but we need to talk in private. Let's go somewhere else, shall we?" Rin asked.
"Why should we? How do we know you're not luring us in a trap?"
"Look around you. Look at us. There's only me and Ayaka, surrounded by a lot of your comrades. Do you really think we can take all of you guys down"
"Hmmm…" Weiss sighed, "Fine." Then, she turned her head toward Blake and Yang, "Blake! Yang! Make sure these two doesn't do anything fishy."
"Right!" Yang and Blake said. Then, they walked toward Rin and Ayaka. Blake placed Gambol Shroud at Rin's neck and put her hands behind her back while Yang forcefully gripped Ayaka's hand behind her back. "If you value your life, please put away your weapons." Yang said.
Rin and Ayaka sighed. "Trigger off!" As they both yelled, a blinding light shined and toned down, showing off Rin and Ayaka's clothes from before.
Blake and Yang were surprise,"You girls have a lot of explaining to do." Blake said. After that, everybody started walking to a private area where no one can see them.
When they arrived at a private place, Weiss dropped and groaned in pain. "Ow, my foot…" Then, she turned toward Rin and Ayaka, "Now, answer our damn questions or you'll never live to see another day."
"Okay, okay. We'll answer your questions but please let go of us and you'll get your answer you need to hear." After hearing Rin, Weiss signaled Blake and Yang to let go of them. Both of them nodded and let go of Rin and Ayaka. Rin cleared her throat, "Ayaka," Rin nodded her head toward Weiss, "Help her with her hurt foot." Ayaka listened and went toward Weiss to tend the injured foot. Rin turned her head toward Weiss, "Now to answer one of your question: My name is Rin Kurosaki and my partner is Ayaka Yukimura, age 16. We are not from this world you call Remnant. We are actually from a different world: Kalibur, a planet within the Neighborhood."
"Different planet? Kalibur? Neighborhood? This sounds a bit fake and suspicious." Weiss said while leering at Rin.
Suddenly a black blob appeared from Rin and formed into a floating robot, "I can understand that you do not trust anything you see or hear from Rin and Ayaka, but I assure you that what they are saying are all true. The world, Kalibur, and the wide, vast universe, the Neighborhood, truly exist." said the mysterious floating robot.
"Ahhh!" Weiss yelped and took out Myrtenaster and tried to stab the floating robot. Reacting quickly just in time, Rin blocked the attack with her hand. Rin winced in pain as blood flowed from her hand from the stab of the rapier. Weiss dropped her weapon and gasped at the scene. "Oh my god… what did I do?"
"Ah!" Rin groaned, "I knew that weapon drew blood but I never knew it would draw human blood."
Ayaka saw this too and gasped, "Oh no! Rin! Are you okay?" She asked worriedly.
Rin groaned, "Y-yea, I'm fine." She turned toward Ayaka, "It's just a little puncture, nothing much. Please, hand me a towel." Rin asked. Ayaka heard her and quickly grabbed a towel and handed to Rin. Rin grabbed the towel, "Thanks, Ayaka." Then, she turned toward Weiss and kneeled down. She picked up the rapier.
"Hey! What do you think you are doing with my weapon?" Weiss yelled in protest.
"Don't worry." Rin said calmly, "I am merely just cleaning your weapon. It is an interesting weapon, though." Then, Rin started wiping off the blood on the rapier. "So, Weiss is it?"
Weiss was surprise, "How do you know my name?"
"Back then, when your blonde boyfriend wanted me to apologize to you after I accidentally bump into you." Rin explained, "Oh, by the way, I apologize again just to make sure you are satisfy."
"Um, ok. Oh and the blonde guy, Jaune, he isn't boyfriend. Just a… classmate." Weiss explained.
"I see. I assume you two were a couple by the way he was really determine to stand up for you." Rin said.
"Well, Jaune can be like that." Weiss said.
"I see." After that, Rin finished cleaning the blood off and gave the weapon to Weiss. Then, she got up, proceeded to go wipe her blood off her hand and bandaged it up. "There, that should do the trick." Rin cleared her throat, "Now, not to alarm any more of you guys, I'll continue to explain things. As I was saying, my partner and I came from the world Kalibur, a world within the vast Neighborhood. Many worlds thrive and exist within the Neighborhood. Even your world, Remnant, is part of the Neighborhood like many others." Rin explained.
Ayaka stood up and cleared her throat, "That big white creature you all fought earlier is called a Trion Soldier, a creature made for war and destruction. Sometimes it is called a Neighbor." Ayaka explained, "Many worlds in the Neighborhood produced many Trion Soldiers, but not all the worlds make them, like Remnant. There are also different types of Trion Soldiers, each produced differently to serve their purpose. The one you fought earlier was a Bamaster, a Trion Soldier created to capture people." Then, the floating robot flew to Ayaka's shoulder, "This is Trivia. He is also a Trion Soldier but not the aggressive type. Trivia is more of our guide."
"Hello to all of you. As Ayaka stated, I am Trivia. I was built to serve the purpose of guiding and chaperoning Rin and Ayaka throughout their lives. It is a pleasure to meet you all" said Trivia.
The gang stood there in silence at what they witness. "F-Freaky." said Jaune.
"So that explains who you two are and what that monster is, but why are those things coming to Remnant all of a sudden?" Yang asked.
"That is a good question that sadly we cannot answer." Rin sighed, "But there are two possibilities that could explain why this world is being targeted."
"And what are these possibilities?" Blake asked.
Then, Rin held up one finger, "Possibility #1: Nearby Planets around Remnant could be sending Trion Soldiers for the reason of Trion, a special kind of energy within all living things. It supplies the Trion Soldiers but it also supplies people to make weapons for war." Then, she held up another finger, "Possibility #2: It could for the reason that certain planets near Remnant want to conquer and take over this world for their own selfish needs."
"Woah, sounds like a nightmare for Remnant. Is there anything we can do to fight against those things?" Ruby asked, "As you saw, our weapons are not effective to take down those things."
"There is a way." Ayaka said. The gang was silent. "The only way to fight against those things is use Triggers?"
"Triggers?" They all said.
"Yes, Triggers." Then, Rin and Ayaka help up their own Triggers, "These things in our hand are called Triggers, specialized weapons that are really effective against those Trion Soldier. They are supplies by the person's Trion." Ayaka explained.
"Woah," Ruby said, "how do we use these Triggers?"
"It is simple to use but the weapons within it takes training and hard work to pull off." RIn said.
"That's interesting and all but how do we get these Triggers?" Pyrrha asked.
"Unfortunately, Ayaka and I can't supply all of you with Triggers. But, there is a place where you can get Triggers. But here's the thing: the place doesn't supply everyone with Triggers. All of you must be part of this special organization."
"And what is this place you are talking about?" Weiss asked
"This place is Earth, and on Earth is a country called Japan and within Japan, there is a city called Mikado City. That city was the first city to be invaded by Neighbors. Over in Mikado City, they have a special organization called the Border. At the Border, people are trained to use Triggers and help defend the city against the Neighbors." Ayaka said. "If you value your lives, the people, and the world, come with us to Earth. We know people that can help you all train as well as us who will help you too."
"But, before you can agree, there is something you should know." Rin said.
"Oh, what is it?" Blake asked.
"The way Ayaka and I travel throughout the Neighborhood is with Trivia creating portals for us. But it takes Trion. With only two people, it doesn't take much Trion, but with a lot of people traveling at once, it takes a tremendous amount of Trion to make a portal. If all of you come with us, it will take a long time for Trivia to produce enough Trion to send you all back home." Rin explained.
The gang stood there in silence, trying to think of the options. "Ugh, it's getting late." Ruby said, "We all need to get back to the dorms at Beacon." Ruby turned to Rin and Ayaka, "Can you two give us time to think?"
"Sure, we will give you time. But the more time you think, the greater chance your world will be invaded with many Neighbors. Please, manage your time wisely. Your world is in danger." said Ayaka. "If you agree with us, meet us at this same spot in the morning on the day you all agree."
After that, Team RWBY and Team JNPR headed toward their dorms while Rin and Ayaka disappear within the forest. After arriving at Beacon, the gang met up in Team RWBY's dorm and discussed the situation. "Ok, so here's the thing: Do we really trust anything those two told us today?" Jaune asked.
"I agree with Jaune." Weiss said. Hearing what Weiss said, Jaune smiled. "I mean what if we are walking into a trap. We all need to think about this."
"I know Weiss, but we can't leave the possibility that they are telling us the truth." said Ruby, "I mean, we all saw and fought that creature and we couldn't make a dent in it. Then, we all saw Rin and Ayaka take that down with their Triggers. Guys, Remnant could be in danger."
"You got it right, lil sis but we can't let our guard down." Yang said.
"Do we want to take the risk with our lives and go with them to Earth or take the risk of Remnant and do nothing at all?" Blake said.
"Hmm, that is a dilemma." said Pyrrha.
"Come on, you guys." Ruby stood up, "We are about to be hunters and huntresses. It is our future duty to help protect Remnant from all evil and destruction. So as future hunters and huntresses, do we really want to stay here and watch Remnant become nothing in the future or do want to preserve it and protect it?"
"Protect it!" They all said.
"But in order to protect it, we must leave Remnant and train with Triggers. Is that okay with all of you?" Ruby asked.
For a moment, there was silence in the room. Then, Yang stood and walked over to Ruby and hugged her, "If you are willing to go to extreme heights to protect Remnant, I'll go with you anywhere in the world. Well in this case, the universe because that's what teammates and sisters do." Hearing this, Ruby was happy and hugged her sister back.
Then, Blake stood up, "If you are will to go, I will go too. Because that's what friends and teammates do." She smiled.
Then, Weiss stood up, "Well, I don't to be the Heiress of nothing if Remnant gets destroy." She smiled, "And we are a team after all. As a team, we do things together no matter what."
After hearing Team RWBY, Jaune stood up too, "I am still skeptical about this and a little bit frightened but… We are all friends and we all stick together til the end." Then, he turned to his teammates, "So, are you with me?"
Pyrrha smiled, "If you are willing to go to a different planet while being frightened for your friends, I will go with as well." Jaune smiled after hearing this.
"Don't worry, Jaune-y boy, I, Nora the Great, will go you with you as well." Nora said gleefully.
"Me, too." said Ren.
After hearing everybody is willing to go, Ruby smiled and cleared her throat, "Okay, guys. Let's get some sleep. Tomorrow morning will be a BIG day for all of us." After hearing Ruby, everybody nodded and cheered. Team JNPR went back to their dorm and slept while Team RWBY slept in their dorm. All of them were anxious to see what will lie ahead for them.
