Hey everyone and welcome back to the reading!
We're on our first break for the story though.
And don't worry, it's gonna be an actual break.
Let's go!
"Ugh." Yang groaned as she collapsed into the grass in the castle's gardens "I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I'm beat."
"Who knew they were so though." Ruby said as she sat down, rubbing her sore arms.
Those retainers had worked them to the bone.
"At the very least, we're getting better." Weiss said as she sat on a bench.
"We do need to get better after all." Blake said as she simply leaned against a tree while sitting down.
"Yeah, we gotta make sure that awful future doesn't happen." Ruby said with a frown, although she blinked back tears as she remembered what was supposed to happen to Penny.
Yang reached over and patter her little sister's arm "Don't worry sis, it won't happen, if I end up against that Mercury guy, I'll just ignore him and walk away from the arena, that'll at least save one problem from happening."
"Yeah, that was one of the reasons everything started." Blake realised idly.
"Although I'm punching him in the dick later for trying to hurt you." Yang added afterwards.
Weiss sighed "Figures."
"So, how about we talk about what we saw in the story instead?" Ruby asked, preferring to talk about that than about the bad future.
"Sounds good to me." Weiss said with a shrug.
"I think it's pretty awesome we have a brother, it would have been nice to actually have one... although I gotta wonder how many of those alternate worlds give us one?" Yang said.
Lillith actually heard her question as she was walking by and decided to answer her "There's quite a few of those to be honest, and big brother is even monitoring a world like that."
"What's that one like?" Ruby asked.
"Well, your brother in that world was adopted, and he's Yang's age, the really important part about him though is that he's a genetic clone of someone else." Lillith said.
Weiss actualy sputtered in shock "Cloned from who?!"
"More like what. He was cloned using DNA that was found in a fossilized eyelash." Lillith said with a grin, finding it fun to shock them.
"How would that even work though?" Blake wondered.
Lillith shrugged "I wouldn't know, I'm not as smart as my brother... you know, there are plenty of other interesting worlds."
"Like what?" Yang asked.
"Well, one that big brother is watching over, has you, Yang, marrying a boy during your second year at Beacon." Lillith said with a giggle.
Yang actually blushed a bit in surprise "Seriously? A version of me that's married? That's weird."
Lillith couldn't stop her laugh "To be fair, my brother got the idea from a world where you eloped with a boy before entering Beacon, meaning you were married before even getting there, and your dad had no clue, at least in the world my brother looks over, your dad was present for the wedding."
Yang was honestly surprised "Woah... that's pretty unique."
"What other worlds does Swift look over?" Blake asked, curious, and wanting to forget about Yang being with someone else.
She blushed slightly as she caught her train of thought.
Lillith tapped her chin in thought "Let's see, there's several versions of your world, for example, the one where you two girls have the clone for a brother, one where two extra people join Beacon and are setting things right, one where Blake joins a detective agency instead of becoming a huntress, then there's one where Jaune was born with a different name and was originally a ninja."
Blake looked confused "Jaune as a ninja?" she said unsurely... she honestly couldn't see it.
"I know, it's weird, but like I said, that version of him wasn't born as Jaune, he was born as a kid named Naruto." Lillith said with a shrug.
"Alright... and the part about me being a detective?" Blake asked.
"Oh, that one's simple, you joined a detective agency after getting to Vale, since the one running it actually kicked Adam's butt on the train, and you were curious to know more about the guy." Lillith explained.
Blake thought about it a bit, and found that made a bit of sense, as she would be intrigued by someone who could best Adam.
"So that version of Blake isn't on our team then?" Ruby asked with a frown.
Lillith shook her head "No, but, that version of Blake is also older, as when she becomes a detective, you girls are still kids."
Team RWBY all blinked in surprise at that "Well... didn't expect that." Yang said as she looked at Blake, the cat faunus being just as confused.
Lillith shrugged "Don't think on it too much, it's best to just accept it. Anyway, are there any other questions?"
"Are there any other worlds that give me a sibling?" Blake asked.
Lillith tapped her chin "I don't believe it's ever be done before."
"What about worlds that give me an extra sibling?" Weiss asked.
Lillith snorted in amusement "Too many of those ones, and some are just so horribly written it's hilarious."
"How badly written?" Yang asked with a smirk.
"The character's name doesn't even remotely fit into your world, like, at all, and then there's the pacing of the stories, most of the time it's everywhere but where it should be." Lillith said with a groan.
"I'm glad the creator of the world we're watching was able to do a good job then." Weiss deadpanned.
"Yeah, Endrance actually sounds like something you'd hear around Vacuo I think." Ruby said idly.
She hadn't been to Vacuo, but sometimes she got bored and looked up random things on her scroll, thus one day she found a page of the most common names in Vacuo, and the name Endrance sounds like it would fit right in.
"Right, well, if you'll excuse me, I need to head back to work now, I'll see you all later." Lillith said as she walked away.
The girls fell silent at after that, just enjoying their rest "Maybe we should start heading back to the room." Blake suggested and the others nodded before they all got up and headed back to the reading room.
There we go.
Yeah, only team RWBY for the first break.
I wanted to do it a bit differently from what everyone would expect, see what everyone thinks about it.
Anyway, Read, Review, Don't be a dick, and have a nice day everyone!
See ya next time!
