"Okay..." Ruby muttered as she looked through the foyer, "Where to start looking for those Boo's?" Ruby rubbed her chin for a moment before her eyes twinkled with an idea, "Better start with the rooms I went through myself.
With that thought in her head she sped to the second floor and entered the still lit Parlor, the first thing she noticed was a light beeping coming from her Dustboy Horror, a yellow light flashing slowly... The second thing she noticed, was the big round object sitting under a table cloth on the small table.
"You've got to be joking..." Ruby muttered as she sucked the table cloth off the table revealing... A white ball that had a boo face on it.
"Huh?" Ruby muttered as she bumped into the larger table in the room.
This time a white mass burst out from within the table before focusing in the middle of the room.
"I am BamBoo, if you please." The Boo introduced itself to Ruby with a laugh.
"Oh no..." Ruby said immediately turning on the Poltergust and beginning her attack. However unlike other ghost's the Boo wasn't caught in a vortex like other ghosts, instead it was resisting getting caught, forcing Ruby to keep the nozzle of the Poltergust trained on the Boo for just a few second before it's resistance gave out and it was sucked into the Poltergust.
"I hope all these guys don't have pun's for names." Ruby muttered as she called E. Gadd.

"Ah Ruby, calling so soon?" E. Gadd asked.
"I caught one of the boo's in this place." Ruby reported, "But for some reason the Boo Radar picked up a ball that just looks like a Boo at first."
E. Gadd blinked at what Ruby said, "Odd... Perhaps the Boo left some of his paranormal signature on the ball and that's why the Boo Radar picked it up." E. Gadd mused, "Be careful Ruby, they may have something more dangerous waiting."
"No problem Professor." Ruby said.
"Good." E. Gadd said, "Now the Poltergust has a special function that sends Boo's directly to me and my specially mad Boo Vault to contain them."
"Great, call you later." Ruby said hanging up.
[OST End]
With that out of the way, Ruby proceeded into Anteroom, that was where her options of where the Boo was hiding would be limited to three drawers.
Ruby followed her Boo Radar to the middle side table and opened and jumped aside as the Boo burst out.
"Looking for me?" The Boo asked, "Bootha!"
"Oh please don't tell me all your names are puns." Ruby groaned as she turned on the Poltergust. Bootha put up a bit of a tougher fight than the first Boo, but soon she too was sucked away.
"Two down, next one's on the way." Ruby said grinning as she entered the next room.
Ruby's first point of investigation that her Radar led her to was the Wardrobe next to the door, Ruby opened it and went wide eyed, "DUST!" She shouted diving away from the wardrobe as a black bomb with a skull painted on it rolled out of the wardrobe and exploded- The lingering paranormal energy protected the room from the blast, but it still scared Ruby fiercely.
Then she heard the Boo in the room laugh.
"It's not funny!" Ruby shouted kicking open the next wardrobe, which resulted in the Boo flying out.
"Wanna play DustBoo Advanced?" The Boo cackled, only to noticed Ruby glaring rather angrily at it, "Oh boo..." The Boo said before it made a desperate break for the wall... It didn't make it.
Stowing her Poltergust with her third Boo caught Ruby took a deep breath.

Ruby made her way to the Study she fought her first Portrait Ghost, and quickly began to follow her Boo Radar, leading her to the bookshelf, when she shook the shelf a Boo burst out of the books.
"Speak not my name: TaBoo!" The Boo declared before making his way to escape... This time however to Boo made it to the wall and floated through, escaping into the hallway.
"Rats." Ruby muttered running out of the room and spotting TaBoo making an escape... For about 5 seconds before using her Semblance to get in front of the Ghost and finished it off.
Smiling Ruby made her way to the next room she had cleared out... The Master Bedroom.
Ruby found the Boo in there hiding pitifully under the bedsheets, and after sucking them off the Boo fled it's former hiding spot.
"I am the yummy Boolicious!" The Boo declared as Ruby glared at it.
"Oh I've got more reasons to hate you guys." Ruby growled as she turned on the Poltergust, soon capturing her fifth Boo.
After she put her Poltergust away her Dustboy Horror went off.
[Luigi's Mansion OST: Gameboy Horror]
"Unbelievable! Five Boo's already? There's no stopping you Ruby." E. Gadd praised, before his smile turned into a slight frown, "I understand you're worried about your Sister and her Partner Ruby, but take 'er easy. You have plenty of time still, so try to keep your shirt on."
"I know professor..." Ruby sighed as she sat on the bed in the room, "But I just want to catch all these guys as soon as I can."
E. Gadd nodded, "Why don't you go to the washroom and splash some water on your face? You'll feel much better believe you me." He said.
"But... I don't have the key to the wash...Room?" Ruby muttered as she checked the map on her Dustboy Horror, "Oh... It was never locked... My bad." Ruby then shook her head, "Okay I'll clear out the Nursery, the Ball room, and the Storage room's I already cleared before I go do that. Just so I'm not running around looking for any Boo's I might have missed.
"Sounds like a plan Ruby." E. Gadd said as he ended the call
[OST End]
Ruby made her way to the Nursery, and her Boo Radar led her to the Rocking Horse inside it, which scared the Boo out of it's hiding place.
"I'm TurBoo, and off I go!" The Boo shouted as it made it's way to escape.
Sadly Ruby was much quicker on the draw as she caught TurBoo before he could make it to the wall.
Ruby smiled as she walked back to the Foyer.
"Huh... I'm surprised those Boo's don't scare me as much right now..." Ruby muttered, "Maybe its just the light bringing me some comfort."
Ruby's courage melted when she entered the first floor halls, the lights still off in those halls.
"I-i-i-it's okay." Ruby muttered turning her flashlight back on, "The ghost's here aren't as dangerous."
Ruby ran toward the Ball Room, only to freeze in front of the door at the sight of a floating candelabra, Ruby remained motionless as the unlit candles floated past her before bursting into the Ballroom.
Once inside Ruby could feel her courage restore itself as she began her Boo hunt.
In a moment's notice Ruby found the Boo hiding in one of the chairs, causing it to reveal itself, "Allo! I am Boo La La!" The Boo said attempting to be fancy.
"No." Ruby said causing the Boo to flinch as she walked up to it, "You do not do fancy... At all."
"Aww..." The Boo groaned, completely distracted when Ruby flicked on the Poltergust and sucked it away.
Grinning with pride, Ruby entered the storage room, where she released all the Boo's in the first place.
"Where are you hiding now?" Ruby mused before she glanced at the boxes in the room, Ruby grinned as she began to use the Poltergust to suck the boxes... Causing them to shake rapidly and scare the Boo out of it's hiding place within them.
"Just call me DustBoo." The Boo said with a laugh before Ruby began to chase him.
"Didn't your king tell you to scram!?" Ruby shouted as she weakened the Boo.
"I like this room!" DustBoo cried out before it was sucked into the Poltergust.
Putting her Poltergust way, Ruby wiped the sweat off her brow, "That's Eight." Ruby said to herself, "I probably could do with that water now."
Ruby returned to the first floor hall way, slipped past the floating candles, and made her way to the Washroom, pausing only for a minute at the piano playing from a room she couldn't enter.
Ruby stepped into the washroom, which for her was basically a bathroom with no tub, and held her Dustboy Horror to the lightswitch.
This caused the lights in the room to turn on, and Ruby happily made her way to the sink and turned it on, glad that water was running in the building.
Ruby gladly cupped some of the water in her hands and splashed it on her face, which cooled her down and washed away some of her drowsiness, afterwards ruby stared into the mirror, "Okay Ruby, you're doing fine. According to the Dustboy there are fifty Boo's in this mansion not counting the king and you've just caught eight of them in just a few minutes. Just find the next key and get a move on. You've already been looting the rooms you've entered without even thinking about it so all that's left is just to find a-" Out of the corner of Ruby's eye she saw a gleam of brass over the toilet, "Key!" Ruby cheered lunging for the key.
However Ruby ended up shaking the toilet, causing the key to fall into the toilet bowl. Thankfully she didn't flush it, and the toilet water was clean so she could see the key.
"Aw maaaaan." Ruby groaned rolling up her sleeve.

Alright folks, that's the chapter.
Now, before I posted this I founded an Academy on RWBY: Amity Arena and I'd like for you all you join it.
The name of the Academy is Terminal, a name provided by Swift56 as his phone is sadly too old a model to have the space for all the games he wants.
I've made it an Invitation-Only Academy for the moment if only because I don't know how to make it Private so that only certain people can join.
If you'd like to join then please remember to comment/PM what your in-game name is so I know who you are, I only have 49 slots available so its first come, first serve on who comments.
And please, don't take my records seriously just yet, getting a lot of Trophies when everyone was having a hard time connecting to the game was not really great so I got my ass kicked a lot to weaken me to a level where I can stand a chance against my foes... I actually got the Sandbagger title it was so bad... Not my proudest moment.
