The prompt this week was "A member of Team RWBY finds herself shunted into a reverse-morality alternate universe." This one was silly even for me.


Ruby slowly opened her eyes to the morning sun coming through the window of her room in the house in Mistral. She slowly sat up and stretched, yawning loudly. She was sore all over. The battle last night had been exhausting, but Team RWBY was now reunited, and they had the Relic of Knowledge.

Ruby shuffled downstairs to find that her teammates were already awake and sitting around the table in the living room. They were all wearing smiles, clearly as happy as she was to be back together. Even Yang looked like she was glad to have Blake back, her earlier anger towards the Faunus apparently gone.

Ruby was about to greet them when she saw something that made her jaw drop. Yang's arm was draped over the armrest next to her. Yang's right arm.

"Yang!" cried Ruby.

Yang turned to her sister. "Hey Ruby," she greeted. "What's with the yelling?"

"Your arm!" Ruby yelled. When her teammates just stared at her, she continued. "It's back!"

"Yeah," Yang answered after a second. "Of course it is."

"How?" Ruby asked.

The other members of Team RWBY glanced at one another.

"Are you feeling alright?" asked Weiss. Ruby just continued staring at her sister's restored arm.

"Ruby, my arm's been back for a while," Yang began gently. "Don't you remember at Beacon? When Adam reattached it?"

Ruby felt like the room was spinning. That didn't make any sense. Adam was the one who cut off Yang's arm, and now she was saying that he reattached it?

"Ugh, Adam," Blake muttered. "Such a little bitch. I swear, when we were dating I had to slap him around to get him to do anything."

"Stupid Faunus," added Weiss. "Can you believe my dad thinks that those animals deserve equal pay? Are we going to start paying horses next? Oh, but not you Blake, you're one of the good ones."

Blake waved her off. "When you're talking about somebody like Adam, I get what you mean."

Ruby just stared in shock as her teammates spat on everything they believed in. She'd have thought this was all some kind of sick prank, but there was no explaining Yang's arm.

"No need to worry!" Nora declared as she stomped down the stairs from her room. "If that animal shows his face again, I'll break his arms! Now let's get some waffles cooking, Ren!"

"Ugh, I hate making waffles," Ren groaned as he entered the living room.

"Shut up and get in the kitchen," Nora growled, grabbing Ren's arm and shoving him towards the stove.

This can't be real.

"Come on, Nora, lay off him a bit," said an unfamiliar voice. Ruby turned towards it and found a tall, blue-haired girl who looked like she was the same age as Weiss, Yang, and the others.

"Who are you?" asked Ruby.

The girl blinked at Ruby, a surprised and slightly hurt expression on her face.

"It's me, June," she answered. "From Team RNJR?"

"What happened to Jaune?" Ruby demanded.

"Who's Jaune?" June asked in reply.

For a moment, no one spoke. Then Yang snapped her fingers loudly.

"I know, that blond guy who got rejected from Beacon! Man, if my grades were as bad as I heard his were, I probably would have given the school fake transcripts. What would that loser be doing here?"

"Could you all keep it down?" asked a voice Ruby had only heard once before. She turned around and was stunned to see Raven coming from the hallway where Qrow and Oscar's rooms were. "Selma is still sleeping. The battle really took a lot out of her."

"Who's Selma?" Ruby asked before she could even fully process what she was seeing and hearing.

Everyone in the room stared at her like she'd gone crazy.

"I think it might have taken a lot out of Ruby too," Blake suggested after a moment. "Do you want to go lie down?"

"I feel fine," Ruby answered. "I just want to know who Selma is."

"Um, the farm girl?" Yang answered. "The one that Professor Salem reincarnated into?"

Ruby lowered her head, trying to make sense of everything going on around her.

It's like I'm in some kind of alternate universe.

As crazy as that sounded, Ruby couldn't think of another explanation. There was no way that any of this would make sense in her world.

As Ruby pondered, the others continued discussing her apparent memory loss.

"Maybe it has to do with her eyes," Yang suggested.

"Yeah, that weird light that came out of them might have messed with her head," added June.

"That could be," confirmed Raven. "The silver eyes are a powerful weapon against cookies, but they come with some harsh side effects."

Ruby was about to insist that she felt fine, when a more pressing thought came to her.

"Wait, did you say a weapon against cookies?"

Again, the whole room stared at Ruby.

"Yes," Raven answered after a moment. "I told you this after you used them the first time. It's said that the silver eyed warriors could defeat a cookie with a single glance."

"Defeat a cookie?" Ruby repeated dumbly.

"Yeah, a cookie," Yang confirmed. "You know, the monstrous baked goods that we're all trained to fight?"

It took a while for Ruby to process that. When she finally did, she was left with the most disturbing conclusion possible.

Cookies are evil here.
