To be honest, I wasn't expecting to see my mailbox to explode with favorites and follows with just a rushed chapter. Happy to know that this'll be something new for all of you, but I do hope that I can continue this without much trouble with life. Now, onto the Comment Mentioning!
Delekmaster: Honestly, a Resident Evil is something I have in mind already, its just figuring out which medium to touch with that.
Stratos263: Thank you, I try.
And Hemanty342: Which One Piece Reference? ;)
Anyway, this'll be touched with one of the most popular Player 2, Luigi. Hope you enjoy this.
RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum while Luigi's Mansion belongs to Nintendo.

As the group started to calm down after learning Aries' choice of words when referring to a being that they called Oum. As they settled into their seats, the screen started to shake rapidly, making everyone glare at it, while Aries was blinking a bit. The screen stops moving, letting everyone lean forward, before a white pooch flies out of the screen, and lands on Jaune.
Staring at the ghost dog, happily snuggling into Jaune's arms, while Blake glared evilly at the pooch. The dog jumped off Jaune, before running into the air, disappearing into the ceiling, hearing some yipping sounds of happiness as it left. Everyone turned their attention to Aries, as he pulled out a can from his bean bag, and opened it, letting the fizz out.
"Let us begin," Aries says, pointing to the screen.
It was a dark, gloomy night, rain was gently pouring from the sky against the frost-covered windows, as a young girl in red happily sleeping in the bed, bundled in thick, wooly blankets.
"There's Ruby," Weiss says, staring at the blissfully asleep girl. "You sleep like a baby at times, don't you?"
"It does look like it," Ruby admitted, smiling a bit. "Must be a soft bed and blankets."
Resting at her feet, was the white pooch, curled up happily next to her feet, snoring peacefully. The cart full of sweets slowly started to move along, hitting the bed, forcing Ruby up from her comfortable cocoon of blankets. Rubbing her eyes, Ruby slowly started to get out of the bed, looking around her room a bit, before a small sight of horror greeted her.
What once was a bright pink and lively bedroom was now all dark, complete contrasted what she was first seeing before. On her dresser of what was opened presents full of gifts were now filled with rubber chickens and fake eyes, rubber shanks of meat and a dreadful plate of oatmeal cookies. Hopping out of her bed, dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a red tank top, the short girl moved over to the bathroom, glaring evilly at the plate of her beloved cookies are no longer sweet but healthy.
"Death to oatmeal cookies!" Ruby cried, making Aries laugh a bit.
"What about chocolate oatmeal cookies?" Aries asks, her glare at him cutely.
Making her way into the bathroom, Ruby stared at the now ruined bathroom that was filled with normal presents were now toilet paper and pumpkins, making Ruby kick the toilet lid open. Leaning forward a bit, Ruby investigated the toilet, before getting hit with a stream of water, and then a rubber duck.
Straightening back up, Ruby just left the bathroom, before seeing her ghostly dog disappear through the door. Following the pooch out, she entered the hallway of the place she was resting in, a large shadow of a tree branch awaiting before her, making her gulp at the sight. Walking down the hall a bit, gently scooching past the varies empty suitcases, and the large pile of white luggage stacked to the ceiling.
"So, Weiss-cream is there?" Nora says, leaning in a bit.
"Must be a very amazing hotel then," Wiess says, crossing her arms.
"Does anyone else actually feel creeped out by this?" Pyrrha asks, but the question was completely ignored.
Sneaking past all the luggage, she made it to the end of the hall, towards the elevator. Before her was a well-dressed man, with a ponytail and wore black and white as a scorpion tail swayed behind him. Ruby's eyes opened widely to the being before her, who's appearance was more ghoulish of physical.
Everyone leaned forward to get a better look of the man, before a loud crash was heard behind them. Making them all roll over, they looked over their bags, seeing a tall silver haired man and a blonde woman, who was rubbing her eyes. Getting onto their feet, the two started at the group of eight, as another bean bag slammed besides them, with a dark green and brown with white swirls.
"Miss Goodwitch," Aries says, standing up. "Ozpin, welcome to my little home. Grab a seat, we're about to get to the best part."
"Where are we," Goodwitch commands, lifting her riding crop up.
"I just said my little home," Aries says, a bit ticked off. "Please, take a seat, I'm sure you know the being we're currently seeing right now."
Ozpin looks up to see the man, his eyes turned sharp.
"Tyrian Crowley," Ozpin states, as the woman stares upwards. "I know him all too well. Glynda, it may be best if we take a seat, if be just to see what is going to happen."
"Are you sure, Headmaster?"
"It's our only option, if my gut tells me correctly."
Nodding her head, the two of them took their seats on the bean bag, falling almost into it.
"I was just about to get you, Ruby," Tyrian says, bowing a bit. "You must know that I'm merely the host of this hotel. It was specifically designed, just for you and your friends. See, I am a big fan of a being, that you may have come across multiple times before."
"You shouldn't have," Ruby says, starting to back up a bit.
"I have, my dear. And guess who is wanting to oh so meet you."
"Who?" Ruby asks, scratching the back of her head, thinking of everyone that could dislike her.
Walking around the corner, a white-haired woman with solid black and red eyes dressed in black robes, glaring towards the young girl. Shivering at the sight, Ruby started to slowly back up, until she stopped by some luggage owned by some of the Faunus they've came in with.
"Salem," Ruby mutters, as the woman chuckled.
"Salem?" Ruby repeated, looking towards Weiss. "You heard of her?"
"No one I know of," Weiss admits, looking at Blake.
"No information about her in my books, that's for sure," Blake answered, clearly ignoring the gripping sound of Ozpin's hand against the leather bag.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Ruby," Salem says, fixing her robes. "It has been far too long since we've last seen each other, ever since you stopped my plans before. I hoped you enjoyed the accommodations I left for you and your dear friends for your night. I was getting ready to give you a gift for our reunion."
"But how did you get out in the first place," Ruby gets out, looking for a way out.
"I have to give my thanks to Tyrian here," Salem says, gesturing to the Scorpion being. "He had sent out an invitation to an old friend of ours to come visit quickly and gotten me out of my rather tight prison. How about I return the favor and put you into a painting!"
The sound of plastic like leather made everyone jump, staring at their headmaster.
"What?" Ozpin utterly says, confused about the outcome of the cause. "Did I just hear that right?"
"How did you get her into a painting?" Yang asks, looking at Ruby, who was just as confused.
"I have no idea."
A large portrait appeared behind Salem, causing Ruby to dash to the side, as it slammed at where she stood, before running down the hallway. Looking over her shoulder was Salem, flying after her in pursuit with the painting portrait behind her.
"Just use your Semblance!" Ruby cried out, almost feeling insulted by the speed her doppelganger was running at.
"Technically, she can't," Aries finally says, smiling a bit.
"What do you mean by that?" Blake asks, looking at the man.
"Some worlds that I'll be showing you, if not most, Semblance and Aura doesn't work. Such of a world is like this."
"Then how do they survive?" Ozpin finally speaks up from shock.
"Well, considering there isn't any Grimm, they're mostly living in peace besides the occasional kidnapping."
"Will you stop running you little brat!" Salem cried out, as Ruby ducked under one of the falling luggage pillars.
"I don't remember the hallway being this long," Ruby whined to herself, running pass the cart. "Isn't that Weiss' luggage… Didn't I pass that already?"
As she continues to dash around some of the piles of luggage, she finally made it to the end of the hallway, with nowhere to go. Ruby turned around to see Salem's black and red eyes start to get close, her once small smile turn into a toothy grin, as images of her friends were behind her. Weiss and Jaune with faces of horror awaited them, before her pooch jumped out of nowhere, scaring Salem, before running into the wall behind Ruby.
Looking behind her, was her escape. Pulling on the handle, it opened to a shoot, making Ruby look behind her. Salem was close, and deciding to take her chances, Ruby hopped right into the shoot that was big enough for her to fit in, sliding down the shoot that waited before her. For only a few seconds, she hit something soft, making her open her eyes.
She landed on a pile of clothing, making her look around the dark room, being the laundry room. Smiling in relief, Ruby gotten off the pile of clothing she sat on, before walking around a bit, as the ghost dog appeared before her.
"Thanks for getting me out of there Zwei," Ruby says, rubbing the ghost dog's head.
"Zwei!" Ruby and Yang cried out, seeing the ghost of their dog.
"Relax," Aries says, as the two glared at him hatefully. "Zwei has passed away for a good century or so, he's been by Ruby's side since she saved him during one of her past adventures."
Getting onto her feet, Ruby slowly made her way out of the dark and dreary laundry room, and into the small hallway. Taking in a deep breath, she continued through the hall until Zwei's head pops out from one of the doors, yipping for Ruby's attention. Nodding her head, she opened the door, seeing that she was now in the garage of the Hotel, being the only bright place in the whole building so far.
Walking in, she quickly wondered to the far end of the garage parking to see an old Roadster with a black and dark green coloring around its body. Smiling at the sight of the old vehicle, she quickly made her way to the back of the vehicle, opening the side compartment.
"You seem familiar with the car," Yang says, looking at her sister. "You familiar with the design?"
"I leave anything personal, motorize vehicles to you sis," Ruby says, looking towards the screen. "But who's vehicle is that?"
"I haven't seen Oz. Pin yet," Ruby says, revealing the name of the owner of the vehicle. "But knowing who he is, he'll have the perfect instrument."
"So, Headmaster Ozpin then," Blake says, as the girls nod.
"What does she mean by 'perfect instrument'?" Glynda asks said headmaster.
"I am not too sure of what she means," the silver haired man says, rubbing his forehead. "But I have a bad feeling of what it's going to be.
"There you are," Ruby says, pulling out a red backpack. "I guess Pin was giving you some upgrades, I hope he kept the base features."
Pulling on one of the straps, a large metal rod popped out of the pack, making Ruby smile. Slipping the backpack on, she grabbed the metal rod, pressed a button, and a large nozzle popped out. Zwei landed in front of Ruby, yapping, as Ruby grabbed ahold of another handle. Twisting it towards her, a large stream of wind started to pull Zwei towards Ruby, before twisting the bard away from her, pushing Zwei away.
Nodding her head, she kept her thumb on the button, and with a quick press, a flash blinded Zwei, before he shook it off, and yipped happily.
"He kept them," Ruby says to Zwei, who nodded. "For being a super genius, he does get easily persuaded for his own personal gain. I guess it's time to use the Silver Gustier again. You know which version he did this time?"
Zwei shook his head, making Ruby sigh.
"I'll assume 4000 then, since the last two editions was the prototype and an upgraded version of that. And I can only assume by how Tyrian was going on about, Pin got captured in a painting. Irony certainly is his middle name."
"Welp, let's not get too far into that world," Aries says, getting up from his seat. "Any questions?"
"Just exactly what happened?" Weiss asks, making the Researcher chuckle.
"I guess a bit of a background is in order," Aries says, rubbing the back of his head. "So, Ruby, alongside her older brother, yes I did say 'Brother' are the heroes of the Atlas Kingdom."
"So, I can assume Jaune is my older brother?" Ruby asks, as Aries nods.
"Yep, and Jaune does end up saving the princess of the Atlas Kingdom, being Weiss, a whole bunch of times."
"Why do I have to be saved?"
"Classic 'Princess being Damsel in Distress' scenario, though you and Jaune aren't the normal Knight's in Shining Armor."
"Really?"
"Yep, on the off chance of not saving the Atlas Kingdom, they do occasionally help out with local kingdoms, like the Vacou Kingdom with Princess Gwen, you all would play some party games and drive carts."
"So, who does Arc save me from when I get kidnapped?"
"Later viewing, no spoiling surprises."

There we go, second one ready for action. Honestly, out of all the Luigi Mansion, the third one is the closest to work from towards recent memories, otherwise I would have totally done the first mansion. And so, the character choices. It's obvious to have Ozpin and Salem as the main forces against each other, Ruby since she's the main protagonist for the whole series, so this left the those who'd play Mario and Peach.
Out of all the men in the series we're aware of, the closest to being considered a potential Mario would have to be between Sun and Jaune. Sun since he does of some good features to follow with, the same with Jaune but the more willing to do it without a price.
And then there is Peach's role, the benevolent ruler of the Kingdom. Of course, it's obvious that Atlas would have to be snowy as hell but considering the neighboring kingdom would have to be a desert, it's kind of had to fit the bill. But now, who'll be the Princess. I could have used either Willow or Winter instead of Weiss, but nothing is wrong with a little bit of White Knight, is there?
Anyway, hoped you all enjoyed it, and have a great day mate.
