Sorry for not updating. Been busy with school so here's an extra long chapter. Enjoy! Oh, and prepare for the first trailer after chapter 3.
A wave of emotion swept over Esmeralda, she felt like she has seen these symbols before, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She wondered if her team felt the same way she did as she quickly glanced at them and the guild members. It was eerie silent for the minute. "I think I can decipher some of this," she said, breaking the silence. As her hand reached for the book a blinding flash of light burst out from the book. The white flash brighter than a thousand suns, caught the attention of guild members. Sparks of pink, green of blue lined in thin lines were visible and with one more flash, the light was gone – along with Team Natsu and Team EMRD. "What was that light," exclaimed Wendy. "Is it going to take us as well?"
"Control yourself," replied Carla. "Lucy opened the book this morning but she didn't activate it. But when Esmeralda tried to grab the book to take a closer look the book activated. Something is going on."
"Guys," said Cana as she gazed over her barrel of liquor. "The book it's gone."
A dark black abyss surrounded them as words - that make sense formed around them. Somehow with the book grasped in her hands, Esmeralda flicked through the book. Nothing, just blank pages – apart from this one page with symbols moving around. "Natsu," asked Happy. "What's going on?"
"I think the book pulled us in or something like that." As Esmeralda stared at the page, symbols shuffled around like crazy and soon formed into modern day letters. Remnant they read over a two-page spread. The name triggered a memory, though she couldn't make it out. As the word suddenly disappeared, smaller words formed with the mysterious word last. "Guys!" yelled Gray who was surprisingly still in his clothes. "We have a problem!" He pointed towards a pool of paper. No, not paper. Upon further inspection, they were words. "Umm," said Esmeralda. "Want me to read the words they – "
"JUST DO IT ALREADY!"
"In vast valleys forming far and wide, four nations united as one, a broken moon in the mist of night, I summon this world into existence. May light continue to shine on as huntsmen continue to generate far and wide. I summon thee, Remnant!" In a bright flash of purple light, the abyss disappeared and formed an abandoned alleyway. Lying on the stone paved ground, all of them were thinking of the same thing. "Where the hell are we?!" they yelled.
Black night and a shattered moon. High building lined the area and a shop, still open named Dust till Dawn. Esmeralda stared out the alleyway. There she saw 4 young girls. A girl with a red cloak, one with an outfit of mainly white, one with a black bow and the last with long-flowing yellow hair. Home, I'm finally home. "Guys," she said. "I know where we are. It's the place that Lara, Racheal, Dovelyn and I came from. Renmant."
"From what I remember that you told me, there were 4 main regions," asked Erza. "Which one of those are we in?"
"According to the surroundings, we're in Vale. And it's a good thing, Vale is near the huntsmen school we attended."
"Red, surrender lightly!" announced a new voice. With the fairies on top of Esmeralda they saw a man with a long white coat with a clack fancy hat and a cane that acted like a gun pointed towards the red-cloaked girl. "As if!" she replied determining. "Team RWBY, attack." As the team readied their weapons a blast of fire ignited behind their enemy. "Sorry, but you ain't taking any of them," smirked Natsu. "You'll have to defeat me."
"And us!" yelled Erza with the rest behind her. "Natsu what are you thinking. Who are you?" She requiped a sword and pointed it towards him.
"You guys don't look like Vale citizens. I'm Roman Torchwick," he said. "I'm sure you've heard of me."
"Who?"
"Tch, enough talk," said an annoyed Gray. "Let's fight." He stripped of his white jacket and the mysterious team were shocked and surprise. "Why is he stripping of his clothes?" they all said unison. Esmeralda sighed. "Ice-Make: Crescent Blade." A moon out of ice sliced through their weapons and tripped them up. I must not reveal my identity. It might start a flame of rebellion. "Let us help!" yelled the hooded girl as she fought against multiple enemies. Erza leaped into the air and was covered in a flash of light. "Requip: Heaven's Wheel." Rain of peltering swords landed onto the ground and many of them retreated at the sight of that. Screams were being heard and a shopkeeper was watching from the window. As for Roman, he was escaping. "What are they?" wondered the white outfitted girl as she launched a blade of ice at them. "Ruby, go after Roman."
"On it!" As the hooded girl known as Ruby jumped onto her scythe and fired bullets guiding her up. "Natsu, you better do the same," ordered Erza with her serious face and tone.
"Yes mam," he replied worried. "Fire Dragon's: Roar!" As blazing fire came out of his mouth the impact launched him into the air like a rocket. He landed uncomfortably on his back on the rooftop as Ruby joined him. "Are you even human?" she asked shocked.
"I take you're Ruby," he said. "I'm Natsu."
"How could you even hear Weiss?" she asked. "You were on the other side of the battlefield."
"I have really good hearing. It's one of the perks of being a Dragon Slayer."
"Tch," muttered Roman. "A persistent bunch. Cinder." A woman appeared at the mention of her name. "That's got to be Cinder," said Natsu. Ash coloured hair and a red outfit with gold highlights, it was clear to Natsu that she uses fire. And, he was right. Cinder ignited a flame towards Ruby but he snatched and ate it. "Well, that was a nice snack."
"You can eat fire!?" asked an even more shocked Ruby. "That's impossible." As Natsu focussed on Roman while consuming fire along the way, Cinder set a fire bomb right under next to Ruby. But before she could even move, it blow up. "Ruby!" yelled Natsu but was relieved when he saw an ice shield, cutesy of Gray. "That was a close one," he mumbled. "Are you alright?" Ruby gave him a small nod as a wide grin spread across her face. No wonder why these people don't have weapons that have multiple forms, or use dust, they are from another dimension. "Flame Brain," Gray directed at Natsu. "Next time you incept a fight, will you fill us in."
"Why should I, you're afraid that I'd show you up?"
"Are you looking for a fight Pyro, then come at me!"
"Then prepared to be burned Ice Princess!"
"I'd like to see you try!"
(Author's Note: Gray, that's the second time you've said that and it's two chapters in a row. Why can't you start a fight for once)
As the two squabbled like children, Esmeralda and Lucy joined them. "Looks like they're at it again," sighed Lucy.
"Isn't it the second fight of the day?" asked Esmeralda.
"I think there's a time problem here. It's morning at the guild but night here."
"We should probably stop them, shouldn't we?
"We better before Erza comes up here."
"Natsu!" yelled a new voice. Somehow Esmeralda had disappeared and in her spot, was Erza. "I trust that you and Gray have been behaving yourselves or are my eyes deceiving me. Are you two fighting?
"No mam," whimpered Gray when his arm around Natsu's neck all shaky and loose. "We're best friends aren't we Natsu?"
"Aye," he whimpered back.
"Not the return of Happy 2!" gasped Lucy.
"They loooovvvvveeee each other," announced Happy trying to hold back a giggle.
"Don't you start cat!" abruptly said Gray. "Juvia would kill us."
"Eek! Did that cat just talked?" shrieked Ruby.
"Aye! And I can fly too" replied Happy.
"Guys," said Esmeralda as she transformed back into her normal self. "Roman and that other girl is gone." During all the commotion, the duo snuck out while they weren't concentrated on them. They took the fight to their advantage. "Do you guys want to join Beacon?" asked a very energetic Ruby.
"Eeh?" asked Natsu, Gray and Lucy.
