Hey! UknownHero here and welcome to another chapter of Gamer Forever! Not much happening in my life right now so let's just get into the reviews. To christopherwebblingjr: Even though there's a Player Select system in the game, it doesn't affect every single character in the game. Gylnda, for example, is an NPC. A Non-Player Character. Yang can't control NPCs, and it's only restricted to Team RWBY, with some scenarios allowing her to control other characters. To HellKing666: Yes, she's playing Ruby as she's in the tutorial section of the game. But don't worry, she'll play as herself when she gets to Beacon. Anyway, that's it for the reviews! Let's game on!

Load Game… Start!

Chapter 3: Vale

To see Vale again, peaceful and calm, had almost been a dream to Yang. Back when she thought she wasn't code, Vale… well, there wasn't much left of Vale. The Grimm managed to get through the city's defenses and slaughter many people. Civilian or Hunter, it was a massacre. But now, this was her second chance. To fix it all. To get her good ending. To make sure everyone she cared about survived this time. And if that means knowing that everyone she cares for is fake, well, at least she knows that they're safe.

Update Available
-Fixes Bugs
-Removes Faff
-New side missions

"An update already?" Yang muttered as she looked at the pop up, 'These guys must work pretty fast.' The Gamer thought as she downloaded the update.

Update Downloaded
-Reduced Glitch Holes
-Gameplay Modes now must be unlocked. Realistic and Real-Time RPG remains unlocked.
-New side missions are available in Vale

"Well, so much for Turn-Based combat." Yang said as she closed everything. She turned on Gamer's Eye and saw, while there were still a lot of bugs crawling around, their numbers were reduced considerably. She turned her ability off and started wandering around. She thought about shopping a bit but right now, all she had on her was 50 Lien. Barely enough to buy a decent healing item. She had to make some money somehow, or else she'll be broke until she gets her first mission at Beacon. Then she spotted a yellow glowing light nearby with a yellow question mark in it, "I guess this is a side mission." The currently red cloaked girl said as she ran up to it.

Side Mission: Time Skipper
Rewards: 100 Lien, 5 LD, 100EXP

"'Time Skipper'? What kind of lame name is that!?" Yang exclaimed before sighing, "I need money so let's do it." She then accepted the mission. Suddenly she heard a bell ringing. She turned her attention to it and almost gasped at what she saw.

Walking out of a book shop was none other than Blake Belladonna. A Cat Faunus and her future partner.

Yang almost wanted to run up and hug her with everything she had in her little sister's body but right now she needed to maintain her composure and not fuck up the timeline too badly.

Objective: Gain Blake's attention and tell her about the future.

"Okay, well that's out the window." Yang muttered as she groaned, "Alright. Let's do this." She locked onto Blake to make sure she didn't get out of her sight and started following her through the streets of Vale, making sure to keep herself out of sight, hiding behind bushes and dumpsters when the girl in black turned around on occasion. She didn't want to shout out to the world that she knew about the future and possibly tell them about her unique situation. All she wanted was someplace quiet and private before she could do anything. When she saw Blake walk into and alley, she saw the chance and went for it. She came out of her latest hiding spot and went into the alley. It was a dead-end, but Blake was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, she felt a gun press against her head.

"You have ten seconds to tell me why you've been following me, or else." Blake told her future partner coldly, "Tell me now." Yang knew Blake would do something like this, but it still hurt her a little,

"I just want to talk." Yang said slowly as she held her hands up, away from Crescent Rose,

"Talk? About what?"

"A-About you." Blake was confused for a second before shaking her head,

"What do you know?" Yang took a deep breath. She had to be careful with her words or else Blake would pull the trigger, and that was bad considering that she was revived only two hours ago,

"Why don't I introduce myself first? My name is," Yang paused, remembering that she was in her half-sister's body. Now she was in a predicament. What name should she use? Her name, or Ruby's? It was a difficult choice but she decided just to throw caution into the wind and hope that Blake wouldn't kill her, "My name is Yang Xiao Long."

"You… don't look like a Yang." Blake commented,

"It's because I'm not Blake." The Faunus then pressed the gun harder against her head,

"How do you know my name?" She demanded,

"Blake, you have to listen to me. My name is Yang but I don't look like me right now. I'm in my sister's body."

"And expect me to believe that?"

"Let me finish! You may not remember me, Ruby or Weiss but please! I know the memories are in there! We were a team! We were RWBY! We were partners! We trusted each other with everything! We were more than teammates and allies, we were family! Come on Blake! I don't care if you kill me right now! Just tell me you remember!" Yang cried out as tears ran down her face. She wanted her friends back, alive. She doesn't want anyone to suffer and that's all that mattered,

"…Yang. I-I remember." Blake said quietly, causing Yang to give a sigh of relief,

"Oh thank God! Now, we have to pr-"

BANG

"AAAAAHHHHH!" Yang screamed out as she woke up in the middle of the street, right next to the side mission she had just failed, "What the he-why am I back here!?" A pop up answered her question.

Blake thought you were insane and were replacing a dead loved one with her, so she promptly taken you out of your misery.

Sorry, but you have failed the side mission. But you're free to retry it as many times as you like.

"Oh, what!? Blake fucking killed me!? Oh, that's just fucking great!" Yang shouted out as she banged her head against the wall before she looked at the Side Mission again, "I'll get it right this time! I don't care how many tries it takes, I will make you remember!" She declared as she restarted the mission.

(42 retries later…)

"OH COME ON!" Yang yelled as she woke up next to the side mission again, "I didn't even do anything that time!" Yang complained as she got up, "Okay, sure, pulling Crescent Rose out wasn't the best idea but it doesn't mean I should get fucking stabbed!" She then looked at the side mission, "One. More. Try." She said slowly as she started up the mission again.

As soon as Blake walked out of the book shop, Yang used Ruby's Semblance to get behind her. Before Blake could react, Yang used the butt of Ruby's Scy-ifle to knock the Faunus out cold. Yang then grabbed Blake and dragged her into a nearby alleyway. She didn't care about anyone seeing her, they didn't care. She discovered this after she was ran over by a car because Blake had crossed the road. In her last moments, she yelled at the public to help her but ignored her completely. Only her target cared and tried to get her to a hospital, but she died on the way there, 'Assholes probably didn't even put in civilian A.I yet.' Yang thought bitterly as waited for Blake to come to. She made sure to remove all of Blake's weapons, and tied her hands and legs up with her own bow and ribbon just to make sure,

"Ugh… where am I?" The catgirl groaned as she started to wake up. She tried to get up but found herself unable to. She tried to get out but to no avail. She looked around and saw a young girl in red looking at her, "Who are you? Why am I here?" Blake asked as she glared at the little girl,

"Look, I don't to hurt you. At least more than necessary." Yang said softly, "I just wanna talk."

"By kidnapping me!?" Blake exclaimed,

"Hey, you killed me every time I've done this so I'm taking extra measures this time!" Yang retorted,

"Wait, what are you talking about? I've killed you?"

"Yes. But listen, all I want to do is talk and nothing more. After this, I'll let you go and you can forget about ever seeing me." Blake started thinking. She was sure she was in an alley, away from the public. But she felt that her cat ears were in the open. If she escaped, if she managed not to die on the way out, there was high chance that someone would see her and she knew that somehow the White Fang would find her. She was completely at the mercy of this fifteen year old girl. She would've been impressed if it was someone else but right now all she could do was sigh,

"What do you want from me?" She asked in defeat,

"Only your ears." Yang answered as she started talking about how she was in her sister's body and about how the future ended. She even told her about her abilities and how the world around her was made up of polygons and coding. After she was done, Blake could only stare at her,

"…And you expect me to believe all of that?" Blake asked, her mind still processing all the information laid on her,

"Well, no actually. I sorta gave up 20 tries ago, I just don't want you to kill me again." Yang then released Blake from her bindings and gave back her weapons, "I'm sorry. I'm just still getting used to all this. I just hope we can be friends after this." Blake sighed as she got up,

"I don't believe you." Blake said, making Yang feel like she's been stabbed through the heart again, "But… I'm willing to forget about this. On one condition though."

"What is it?" Yang asked with hope in her voice,

"You have to buy me a new book." Blake answered, "I think I dropped it when you knocked me out and I'm pretty sure someone stole it already."

"Ugh… fine." Yang groaned as she gave Blake Ruby's Lien, "So… friends?"

"Friends." Then they shook hands, "If you need me, give me a call and I'll help anyway I can." She then left the alleyway without another word.

Mission Complete!

Rewards:
-100 Lien
-5 LD
-100EXP

(Hidden Reward) You've gained Blake Belladonna's Support! You can now spawn her during side missions or outside of Beacon.

You can call Blake on your Scroll.

"Yes! Finally!" Yang cheered. Now things were going her way now. She has Blake as her friend now and she has someone to back her up when she needs it. It was great and all, until she realized she doesn't have a Scroll yet. It didn't really bother her, but with all the trouble she went through trying to get Blake to talk to her made her put off side missions until she gains more Levels and knowledge about how the game works, and maybe a few more friends to help. Anyway, with that out of the way, she decided it was time to move on with the story and get Ruby into Beacon. She made her way to Dust 'Till Dawn and saw a red light with an exclamation mark in it. She stepped into it and a pop up appeared.

Story Mission: Ruby Rose
Rewards: 100 Lien, 5 LD, 200EXP, Title: Beacon Initiate (Gain 20% more Soul)

Yang couldn't help but feel a bit nervous but quickly calmed herself down. From what Ruby told her, all she had to do was deal with Roman's henchmen, chase him and then let Glynda fight Cinder until she gets dragged off to an interrogation room, 'Easy.' She thought as she accepted the mission. Suddenly, the blue sky turned to a murky black as the sun was replaced with the shattered moon. Yang entered the shop as she started hearing a voice in her head.

"Legends. Stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past. Man, born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful, but he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness — creatures of destruction — the creatures of Grimm - set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed, and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void. However, even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change, and in time, man's passion, resourcefulness, and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named "Dust". Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness, and in the shadow's absence came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life. But even the most brilliant lights eventually flicker and die. And when they are gone... darkness will return. So you may prepare your guardians, build your monuments to a so-called "free world", but take heed... there will be no victory in strength."

Yang had no idea why or what the woman in her head was talking about as she made her way to the magazine rack in the shop. As she put up her hood, she heard another, more familiar.

"But perhaps victory is in the simpler things that you've long forgotten. Things that require a smaller, more honest soul."

And then she heard a bell ring. Yang couldn't help but smirk as she whispered only two words,

"Game on."

Save Game… Quit!

Whew! Done! Sorry I didn't update React Watch Believe Yikes but I felt like doing a chapter for this fic instead. Anyway, see ya whenever!
