This is another arc that I have been looking forward to, even more than the Android Arc! I know there might be other fanfic based on this idea, I don't know if there are or not, but I am really proud of this work!

And with that, ladies and gentlemen, let us begin…The Future Arc!

Chapter 59

"You sure this will work?"

"It has to. We don't have any other choice. And besides, we already tested it."

"Yeah, but we have enough for one trip. After that…this is our last shot to try to stop her."

"It better…if this doesn't work…I..I don't know what else to do…"

"Ruby…"

"Come on gang…let's save our world!"


It has been a week since the destruction of the CCT and things had a turn for the worse. Everyone was in a frenzy on how easily the CCT was destroyed and their negativity soon attracted the Grimm. Although there were a few Huntsmen available, it was still enough to drive the Grimm back, along with Teams JCME, AVGR, JNPR and RWBY. And it so happened that Qrow, Taiyang and Summer were in the area as they joined in and helped everyone in their fight against the Grimm.

Once everything was settled and the Grimm were away from the city, that was when Blackheart and the others told Glynda and the other adults about how the plan to destroy the CCT was all Elsa's idea. They left out the part about their temporary truce with Magnus and how he was hired to take Penny to Mantle, which the adults didn't mind since their focus was more on the CCT rather than the mercenary wanted by Atlas. While a lookout was posted for Magnus' whereabouts, Glynda had to write down letters addressing the current situation and had them sent out to the Atlas, Vacuo and Mistral academies to inform them of the current status on the communications, that way, there would be less panic that there already was. They just hope the other 3 kingdoms could keep things under control now that the CCT connections is.

But right now, everyone is in excitement because it is Thanksgiving week for them! It still amazes Blackheart that there were holidays, like Halloween, Thanksgiving and even Christmas, existing in this world. There were histories behind those holidays back when he was living in the Capital Wasteland, so for those holidays to just exist on Remnant is strange to him. Still, he can't complain since he can enjoy spending the holidays with his family. And while the White Fang incident happened during Ruby's birthday, which oddly enough was the same day as Halloween, when the group returned to Vale, his family spent the day with Ruby doing whatever she wanted and ended the day with her blowing out the candles on her birthday cake.

But this year will be different since his friends are staying at Beacon: Team AVGR had nowhere to go and half of them, mostly Riku and Arthur, didn't have families to celebrate with; Weiss refuse to return to Atlas, so she will be spending the holiday alone, that is if Arthur decides to spend it with her; Blake couldn't return home yet since she is still keeping her space, Jaune and Pyrrha sent letters to their families that they will be unable to make it while Ren and Nora also didn't have families; and Cinder, Mercury and Emerald all were unable to head back home, despite their parent's constant worry for their safety, so they also sent them a letter to inform what has been happening.

As Blackheart, Ruby and Yang all felt bad about their friends, that's when Summer had the idea to host their Thanksgiving at Beacon. They wanted to refuse, but one motherly glare from Summer made everyone cooperate with her and her wishes, but they still want to bring something to this Thanksgiving dinner. Glynda heard about this and allowed them to use the kitchen in Beacon to prepare their dinner. The Rose-Xiao Long family extended their invitation to Glynda and the staff at Beacon, but they had other plans to spend time during Thanksgiving, which left only Teams RWBY, JNPR, JCME and AVGR to spend time on Thanksgiving.

While Summer, Taiyang and Qrow were in the city gathering food, mostly turkeys and hams, everyone else decided to help out by cooking up foods like mash potatoes, salads, pies, etc. Inside Team JCME's old dorm room, Blackheart was sitting on the desk with his Scroll laying on the top opened as the hologram screen was opened in front of him as it had a web lines connecting all over the place; things from Roman Torchwick, to Imhotep, to the White Fang and the events like the Vytal Festival to the recent destruction of the CCT, all leading to a picture of Elsa, who has a question mark next to her picture.

As Blackheart started at the screen before him, the door opened and Cinder walked in. She slowly walked up to him, wrapped her arms around his neck and said "Still with that, hun?"

"Yeah," Blackheart said as he looked at the screen, "The more I see the connections, the less I know about Elsa and her crew. See, we first heard of her group mentioned by Imhotep, and later, we know that she is responsible for hiring Roman to steal those Dust and forming an alliance with the White Fang. They planned to attack Vale but failed when my sisters and their teammates disrupted their plans, but instead attacked when the Vytal Tournament was about to finish. We also know that Leonidas might have been the one who was working with Elsa since he was there and kidnapped Blake and Weiss, took them to Menagerie to have them executed so that it could cause a war between Menagerie and Atlas.

Cinder nodded and said "Their main goal so far was to make Atlas look like the bad guy in the scenario, and the attack on the CCT was caused by old Atlas robots along with a deranged Penny. More fire to add onto Atlas' supposed actions against Vale."

"Exactly," Blackheart said, "But now that Roman is dead and the White Fang no longer aiding them, it's just themselves now. And with Team KBVO and that Bat Faunus out of commission, all that is left is Elsa and her 3 remaining followers. They should have been at the CCT when they launched the attack."

"But…they weren't there," Cinder said.

"Which brings up an interesting question," Blackheart said, "If this attack was so important, where the hell was she when it all went down? What could have been more important than the destruction of the CCT?"

"That is rather suspicious to why she wasn't present," Cinder said as she narrowed her eyes in irritation, "Which irritates me that I now will never have my chance against her."

Sensing her hatred for Elsa, Blackheart gently rubbed her arm and said "I'm sorry, Cinder. I know you want your revenge, but until we know where she is, I'm afraid we have no leads."

Cinder sighed sadly as she said "I know…"

As the two enjoyed each other's company for a while, Cinder then tapped his head and said "Now come on, everyone is at the cafeteria. Ruby brought more games from your home so we can all at least have some fun."

Blackheart smiled and said "I will, jeez, you're so bossy."

Cinder gave him a teasing smile and replied "Well, I am your girlfriend. Now come on."

After she said that, she walked out the dorm. Once she left, Blackheart then saved what he had on his Scroll, put it away and made his way to the cafeteria with the others.


On top of one of the roofs in Beacon…

It was a peaceful day on top of one of the roofs in Beacon. That is until a spark of blue electricity sparked out of nowhere as more and more appeared until a large dome of blue energy appeared as four figures slowly appeared. As the blue light dimmed, the four figures were revealed to be four girls.

The first one had a long red cape, short black hair with red trims, silver eyes and was wearing a black/grey outfit. The second one had long white hair that was in a ponytail that hanged on the left side of her head, a blue/white elegant outfit with a scar on her left eye. The third one had short black hair with car ears poking out the top of her head, a white coat with a black outfit underneath. The last girl had long blonde hair, lilac eyes, a casual brown/orange outfit with a robotic right arm. The four of them were standing on top of, what looked like, a round, golden metal pad and, when they stepped off of it, the girl in red pushed the blue button on it as the pad started to shrink down until it was small and the girl puts it away in a black satchel she had on her.

The girls looked around as the girl with the blonde hair asked "So…did it work?"

The silver-eyed girl looked over the roof and said "Yeah…we are back at Beacon. Everything looks…calm."

The girl in white sighed in relief and said "Yes, it did work."

The girl with the cat ears said "Now that we know it works, we now have to be careful. We can't be seen by anyone else."

The blonde hair girl rolled her eyes and said "Oh come on, Blake. Can't you see it worked?! We did it!"

The four girls, now identified as Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang, all stood by each other as they smiled and Ruby said "Yes…it did work!"

"Aright then," Weiss firmly said, "Now that we know it worked, now we can focus on our mission. Now…let's double check if we got the date right."

They all nodded as they took out their upgraded Scrolls and looked through them. Instead of getting the expected results, they saw their Scrolls acting up and weren't getting a signal. The only thing that they could access are their photos and contacts of each other.

"That is odd," Blake said, "Are your Scrolls working?"

"Not mine," Yang said, "Which is weird since we should have a signal by now."

"Or maybe, since we are here, our Scrolls might not be very helpful since they are updated," Weiss suggested, "I say the best place to look would be in the library."

"Good thinking!" Ruby cried, "Let's go!"

Before Ruby could head to the door, Weiss grabbed her by the cape and said "Not all at once, you dolt! We don't want to cause some confusion with the staff and students!"

"Then, who will go?" Blake asked.

Weiss let go of Ruby as she replied "I'll go since I will draw less attention. Since I hardly changed my appearance, it will be easy for me to blend in…that is…if my cover is blown."

"Well, be careful," Ruby said before she gave her a worried look, "And…if Cinder is here…please be careful."

Knowing what she meant, Weiss nodded as she opened the door from the roof and entered the school. Being careful, Weiss walked through the halls of her former school as she looked around a corner to see if there was anyone present. While she was a bit relief to see there was no one present, it was a bit suspicious to see the school so empty. Usually, there would be students minding their own business in the hallways, but each hallway she comes across was void of any life. What was going on?

The moment she turned a corner, she slightly jumped as she saw Professor Goodwitch walking towards her. Glynda noticed Weiss as she stopped and said "Miss Schnee, surprise to see you all the way over here."

Trying of think of a lie, Weiss replied "I, uh, needed to…clear my head. So many things going through my head right now."

"I would imagine so," Glynda said, "Well, I hope you feel better."

As Weiss nodded, Glynda started to walk past her. But before she left, Weiss quickly said "Oh! Professor? I have forgotten what today's date was. Can you…"

Glynda rolled her eyes as she looked at Weiss and said "It's November 23, Ms. Schnee. Have a nice day."

With that, Glynda walked away and disappeared around a corner. Weiss just stood there confused and shocked as she quickly made her way to the library while she took out her Scroll, contacted the others and said in a panicked tone "Guys! We have a problem!"

On the other end, Ruby's voice said "Weiss? What happened? What's wrong?"

"We are way off!" Weiss practically screamed into the Scroll, "I just past Professor Goodwitch and she told me the date is November 23!"

"November 23?!" Yang shouted, "How the hell did that happen?! We were supposed to travel around September!"

"And that isn't all," Weiss said, "Goodwitch told me why I was here, like she knew I was here. But…if the date is right…I should have been on my way back to Atlas."

"That…is strange…" Blake said, "You know…now that we are up here, if the date is right, Beacon doesn't look like it's been in a war."

"You're right," Yang said, "What gives?"

After a few minutes of walking, Weiss eventually arrived at the library and said "Ok, I made it to the library. I will find what I can and call you guys back."

When she hung up and walked to one of the computers, she sat down, logged in and begins to look up and viably information.


"I can't believe this!" Yang shouted as she paced back and forth, "How could we have screwed up big time!"

Feeling a bit unsure, Blake looked at Ruby and asked "We did type in the right date, right?"

"We did!" Ruby cried as she leaned against the edge of the roof, "I made sure it was the right date!"

"Well that's just great!" Yang shouted as she punched the side of the wall with her robotic arm, "Now we have to wait until it is charged up, go back and try again!"

Blake sighed sadly and said "But will we?"

While Yang stood there and stayed silent, Ruby sighed as she saw the school grounds until she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She looked and her eyes widen as she cried "Weiss?!"

"Weiss?" Yang asked as she headed to Ruby, "I thought she was in the library."

"That is what she said," Blake said as she also walked towards Ruby.

When the two of them looked over, they indeed saw Weiss…along with a boy none of them knew. As they continue to observe, their Scrolls went off, but Yang was the one who picked up and answered "Hello?"

"We have a major problem!" Weiss said.

"Yeah…hey Weiss?" Yang asked, "When you were in Beacon, do you remember a guy with a killer looking body, good-looking face and looked like every girl's dream boy?"

"Of course not!" Weiss shouted, "The only person I was interested at the time was Neptune! And that didn't go the way I thought it would go!"

"You sure about that?" Blake said, "Because we are looking at you."

"You guys are here in the library?" Weiss asked.

"No," Ruby said, "We see you…the other you…with a boy."

"What?!" Weiss shouted, "That is impossible!"

"We are looking the other you right now," Yang said as they saw the other Weiss and the boy getting rather close, "And the two of them are rather getting comfy with each other."

"Just shup up and listen!" Weiss shouted, "I have digging for information and…there are things that are different…"

"Different?" Blake asked, "Different how?"

Weiss replied "You…You guys remembered when Yang attacked Mercury in the finals?"

Yang groaned as she said "I remember that."

Weiss then said "According to what I found…Yang fought in the finals…but her opponent was a boy named Jonathan Dragonborn…"

When Weiss said the name, everyone's eyes widen as Ruby said "What?! But she fought Mercury! The blamed her for attacking him!"

"That is what I thought too," Weiss said, "I looked up his name and…he did compete in the tournament too. Here is the…crazy part…Mercury was part of Cinder's team along with Emerald…but…so was that Jonathan guy. And when they compete in the Doubles, they won by disqualification when one of their opponents attacked Mercury and broke his leg…"

"Hold on," Blake said, "There are several things wrong with that. First, Mercury and Emerald fought in the Doubles Round. Second, who were their opponents? And lastly, it could be a set up like what they did with Yang."

Weiss said "I know, it's confusing me too! But their opponents were the ones from Atlas and, there has be a proper investigation behind the incident and it does say that Mercury WAS admitted to the hospital and was shown wearing a cast."

"So…the attack on Beacon never happened?" Yang asked, "And…did I won my match against…who was it again?"

Weiss replied "No…the attack still happened after Pyrrha dismantled Penny. As for you…you lost against Jonathan. In a fair fight according to this. And…wait…it says here, after your fight, a match between Troy from Atlas and Kannon from Shade fought, Kannon won but…Troy sliced his arm off?!"

"I don't remember a fight like that!" Yang shouted, "My fight was the first and last to be broadcast!"

"But if the attack did happen, why is Beacon still intact?" Blake asked, "And the CCT should be down since it was shut down when the attack happened."

"No", Weiss said, "According to this, the CCT was the reason why a distress call was made to call any nearby Huntsmen to aid the city against the Grimm."

Ruby tilted her head in confusion and asked "So then…why is the signal out?"

Weiss replied "That's because…oh my god…the CCT was destroyed by an Atlas airship crashing into it! A group of old Atlas Knight models were found by the destruction of the CCT! Reports claimed that the old models were dropped from the airship to attack on the ground while the airship moved into place as it was sent crashing into it!"

"What the hell?!" Yang shouted.

Blake, who was also in shock, said "T-That is impossible…none of these events ever happened! How could…"

"Eep!" Ruby shrieked as she stared down.

"What is it?" Yang asked.

Ruby replied "The other Weiss is kissing the boy…on the lips!"

Both Yang and Blake looked down as they see the other Weiss kissing the boy on the lips.

"Oh damn," Yang said, "Those two really are getting it on. I didn't know you were such a bad girl, Weiss."

"I am not!" Weiss shouted, "And stop looking at me! Uh, other me!"

While the three girls continued to look at the other Weiss and the boy kissing, they saw Yang…the other Yang walking up to them and was saying something that caused both the other Weiss and the boy to blush while the other Weiss shouted at her.

"That's…me?" Yang said, "But…that's not possible. I should be at home in my room after…"

When she got a closer look at her other self, her eyes widen and said "My arm…I mean, the other me's arm…it's…not cut off."

Both Blake and Ruby took a closer look as Ruby said "You're right! But…"

Blake then said "That means…Adam didn't cut off your arm? He was there when Beacon attacked, right?"

Just then, Weiss said "I-I don't know. But…we need to do something. I'll head back to you guys."

"Sounds good, Ice Queen. See you when you get back," Yang said as she hung up as she looked back at her other counterpart, "What the hell is going on here? And why am I, uh, other me here?"

Ruby rubbed her head and said "I…I don't know…"

"Hey," Blake said, "Someone else is down there."

The three of them saw another boy walking up to them, but this boy was different: he was a Faunus. But he wasn't a type of Faunus they haven't seen before.

"Huh," Yang said, "Who's that guy?"

"I don't know," Ruby said, "Blake? You know him?"

But she was met in silence and, when Ruby looked at her, she saw fear in Blake's face.

"Blake?" Ruby asked in a worried tone, "Is…something wrong?"

"T-That Faunus…" Blake said as she gripped her fists tight, "Something…is off about him…"

Seeing their friend scared, especially Yang, they were worried. When they looked back at the Faunus, they saw him talking to the other Yang and Weiss along with the other boy until they saw the boy taking out his Scroll and answering it. They see him talking and gave off a confused look at he looked at Weiss. The group listened in as they had worried look on their face and rushed back into the school.

"That…doesn't look good," Yang said.

Quickly getting her Scroll, Ruby called Weiss, waited for her to answer, and when it did, she asked "Weiss?"

"Yes?" Weiss asked.

Ruby replied "You might want to hurry up. The other you and the others looked worried and headed inside."

"I am trying to," Weiss said, "Just avoiding any—AHH!"

Hearing Weiss scream, the three of them got worried as Ruby said "Weiss?! Weiss?! What's going on?!"

After what sounded like a battle is happening on the other end, Weiss managed to reply "Blake is attacking me! I mean, the other Blake! She is with a boy too! I don't know who they are!"

Both Ruby and Yang looked at Blake, as the Cat Faunus was confused and asked "Is he a Faunus?"

Weiss replied "No! He is a Human!"

"A Human?" Blake asked, "But…how…"

"I'll contact you guys later!" Weiss said.

After she hung up her Scroll, Ruby, Yang and Blake were all worried as they headed through the door and made their way inside the school to try to find Weiss.


"What the hell is going on here?" Blackheart asked himself as he ran through the hallways.

When he went to gather Yang, Weiss and Arthur to the cafeteria, Arthur got a call from Riku, teasing him about leaving Weiss alone in the library. The library was the usual hideout for Blake and Riku since the school is closed and wanted some privacy…mostly to read their smut in peace and quiet. Although Blackheart had a few ideas to what else they are doing alone, the moment they mentioned Weiss being alone WHILE Weiss was with Arthur in the courtyard, that raised some concerns among them. Weiss being at two places at once? That sounds like trouble. The first thing that popped in everyone's head was that it might be another plot to Elsa's plan. He remembered one of her followers, Sheeva, has the Sembalance to create illusions. She might have used Sheeva to sneak into Beacon to find whatever information Beacon had to offer.

But the thing that bothered him was the fact that Elsa and the others could have done that while they were pretending to be students during the Vytal Festival. So, for them to sneak back into Beacon after their attack on the CCT and are now on the Wanted List, it would be hard for them to sneak back in without raising suspicion.

"This doesn't make any sense," Blackheart muttered to himself, "Why would they sneak in after their attack?"

As he was rushing through the hallways, out of nowhere, he saw Ruby holding Lopez's head close to her as she was running towards him and asked "Johnny! I got a message from Yang, what's going on?!"

"I don't know," Blackheart growled a bit, "But this whole Elsa business is starting to piss me off! We can't go a week without them ruining our lives!"

Ruby sighed sadly and said "I don't know…it's like we can't get a break from them…"

Lopez then said "[For what is worth, I have no idea who you guys are talking about, but they sound like assholes]."

Blackheart looked at Lopez and asked "Why is he still a head?"

Ruby blushed in embarrassment and replied "Well, before I was going to grab some parts, Professor Goodwitch already ordered them to be removed from the property. So…yeah…sorry Lopez."

"[It's ok, Red. At least you aren't as heartless as the last guy]."

"But more to the matter at the moment," Blackheart said, "We need to track down this Weiss-wannabe and put a stop to her. My money says it's Sheeva."

"How will you be able to fight her?" Ruby asked as she rushed a head with Blackheart following her.

He replied "I can use my Aura Whisper Shout to fight her if she plans to use her illusions on me. She can fool normal eyes, but my powers won't fool me."

"Great!" Ruby shouted as she was slowly turning a corner, "Now we can—"

The moment she turned a corner, she was suddenly bumped into something as she fell to the ground as she accidently dropped Lopez. As Ruby slowly sat up and rubbed her head, she said "Ugh, what did I bump into?"

"Ruby?! You okay?"

Hearing her sister's voice, Ruby, and surprisingly another familiar voice, replied "I'm fine, Yang."

Hearing her own voice, Ruby looked up and her eyes widen in shock…as she sees herself in front of her. However, this Ruby looked a lot different than herself. The other Ruby also stared in shock as she was joined by Yang and Blake…who also looked different. As the other Ruby, Yang and Blake were in shock to see Ruby, Blackheart joined in and saw them…and was a bit shocked to see two Rubys.

"[What. The. Fuck?]"

"I may not understand you, Lopez," Blackheart said as he grabbed Ruby…his Ruby…and pulled her away, "But I am pretty sure this situation is messed up. What the hell is this?!"

Blake, well the other Blake, was practically frozen up as she said "W-Who is he?"

"I don't know," the other Yang said, "Ruby."

"Yes?" both Rubys asked.

"Uh…" the other Yang said as she was a bit confused.

Blackheart on the other hand was not buying what was before him. First, he hears about a Weiss imposter and now there is another Ruby along with two different Yang and Blake? For all he know, this might be Sheeva putting on an illusion.

He then whispered "LAAS YAH NIR!"

When he used his Aura Whisper Shout to sniff out Sheeva, his eyes widen when he saw 3 auras flaring up from the other Ruby, Yang and Blake. The other Ruby then said "Um…I know this looks…super duper weird…but we can explain!"

Ruby then said "Don't bother, we know your trick, Sheeva!"

"Sheeva?" the other Ruby asked as she tilted her head, "Who's that?"

Before Ruby could reply, Blackheart stopped her and said "Ruby…I can see all three of their auras."

Ruby looked at him as he said "Ok, you three, explain now."

The other Ruby rubbed her head and replied "Well, um…we are…Team RWBY…from…the future?"

Both Ruby and Blackheart stared at them as Lopez said "[That's a fucking terrible excuse]."

"The future?" Ruby asked, "Really?"

The other Yang then said "I know it sounds crazy, but…"

"Crazy?" Blackheart said as he realized something, "Son of a bitch…did Sheogorath sent you guys back in time?"

Ruby looked at him and asked "Like he did with you and Arthur that one time?"

The other Blake then asked "Wait…who is…Sheo-gor-rath?"

Both Ruby and Blackheart looked at her and Ruby said "Uh…you know, the—"

But Blackheart quickly silenced her as Blackheart asked "Wait a minute…"

He then looked at the other Yang's right arm and asked "What happened to your arm?"

The other Yang raised an eyebrow and replied "What do you care?"

Hearing the other Yang's answer, Blackheart knew something was wrong. He then looked at both the other Yang and Ruby and asked "Do you…know who I am?"

The other Ruby looked a bit nervous and replied "I'm…sorry. I don't know."

"What?!" Ruby cried, "How could you not know our brother?!"

"BROTHER?!" both the other Yang and Ruby shouted.

"I…feel like there more going on here," Blackheart said as he took out his Scroll and made a group call, "Does anyone have eyes on the Weiss imposter?"

Riku's voice then replied "Me and Blake manage to catch her. She is struggling, but it's all good."

"Alright," Blackheart said, "I need you to take her to the cafeteria…there's a lot going on here."

Blake's voice then said "You sure that is wise?"

"Oh yeah," Blackheart said, "I'll explain more when I get there."

Once he hanged up, he looked at the other girls and said "You three come with us…we'll get this sorted out."

"Go with you?" the other Yang said as she held out her fist, "Like hell! You guys…"

"Yang," Ruby said, "Please, if you really are Yang, you have to trust me. We are confused about his as much as you are."

Hearing her sister's words, even if it was another Ruby, Yang lowered her fists and said "Fine! But I am punching someone if this is a trap!"

"She sure sounds like," Blackheart said "Now move it."

With that, everyone slowly made their way to the cafeteria. Hopefully, the other Weiss was already there by the time they arrive. But the whole situation is confusing enough already. How can there be two Team RWBYs? And the other Ruby mentioned time travel, it would sound crazy, but Blackehart already experienced that with Arthur not that long ago. But from what the other Blake asked who they were, that raised more questions. Just what was going on here?

"[Hey! Don't forget about me!]"
