Chapter 30: RWBY OP 7
Alright people, I'm back and ready for another chapter. Might be a bit shorter, but that's fine by me. I'll also explain a bit of the first opening afterwards. FYI, the opening 'images' will be using characters from RWBY: Epic of Remnant fanfiction by Doctor Snake Eater.
As for the second, it's an ED Song from Fate Grand Order Babylonia the second one. Now go on and enjoy.
"Alright dorks, time for another wonderful thing to see. It's from another world, featuring a song you see in television." Mayden told the new thing to his guests who sat back.
"Song. Like an opening?" Cardin questioned.
"Oh, like anime." Velvet figured it out.
"That's right." Mayden told them. "And while usually we'll see other versions of yourself, due to certain circumstances, you'll be seeing your world, but with a twist."
"There seems to be a lot of those." Roman concluded thinking again they'll see something strange. Everybody thinking the same as Mayden loved to mess with them.
"That's right folks!" Mayden acknowledged. "Bring in the lighting!"
Obeying his words, cool lighting came lighting up the theatre. The cast ooing at the cool effect coming from it. A few even putting on shades just because it suited the scene.
Zap!
"Gah!" Russel went alongside all his pals where the team known as CRDL got hit by it.
"Uh, ow." Dove went.
"That actually hurt!" Sky rubbed his head.
"Oh well," Carding went as while it stung, it wasn't that painful oddly enough. "At least we didn't-" Of course he never had a chance to finish what he was about to say. Why? Because instantly him and his team proceeded to turn to ash like you'd see in a cartoon. Though unlike those shows, they were dead for realzies.
"Oh my God!"
"What the fuck!"
"Again!"
Once more it has been confirmed. Death can happen anytime here in this wack-job of a theatre with this irresponsible host.
"Woopsies." With Mayden being the jerk he is, not even showing care. "Eh, they'll be back. Maybe."
'How is this ass even a Keeper?' Were the thoughts of many.
"In any case, we can't have these spots remain empty." Mayden then declared. More concerned over the spots than the actual deaths. "So." Power surged and once more portals opened up, four to be precise.
"Who do you think will come?" Neo asked with her signs as usual.
"Hopefully nobody boring." Mercury just folded his arms.
"Maybe it'll be someone we know." Emerald thought.
"Or just some wacko we don't know." Fox also put his thoughts, everyone unsure just who would be summoned. Just that it'll be someone either interesting, hateful, or just mysterious. Like that red eyed girl.
From the portal some screams could be heard, and from it the figures landed painfully on their butts. Those chairs may be cushy, but falling at that speed will definitely hurt a butt.
"What the-!"
"Where's mommy!"
"Who dares to do this to me!?"
"Ahh! Ruby is this you're doing!"
"Oh great." Tock slapped her head.
"Yeah...another bunch of weirdos." Whitley shook his head.
"Does anybody even know them?" Velvet asked her friends who didn't know themselves.
"Another group of total strangers." Cinder deadpanned.
"Where does this guy even find these total strangers?" Adam asked himself as he couldn't even tell who these people were.
Now in with them were four more vic-I mean, guests.
A girl with white hair, green eyes, and pale skin. She had on a black vest and...a black thong covering her lower half.
'The people are just getting weirder and weirder.' Mercury thought as he looked at the small ten year old kid with such an outfit. Seriously, what the hell is up with this inappropriate fanservice? It's just wrong.
"Rub! Ruby! What did you do!?" No answer. "Ruby!" The second is another girl wearing a pin and purple outfit and dressed like one would expect from a magical girl world, even having a strange wand which she was shaking back and forth and yelling at it. Having an albino complexion with white hair and also being a little girl.
"Hey! Where's Hercules?" this one was a blonde guy with golden arnaments and looked kinda like a fool. No explanation needed.
"Um...Where are we?" The fourth and final added guest is a sweet young boy with blonde hair, red eyes, and had chains wrapped around him.
"Welcome!" All four then looked up hearing a voice. "While I could have gotten more characters from RWBY, I decided to kidnap you instead to here."
How blunt!
"Eh!" All four guests went with everybody else giving them pitying looks. Oh well, at least this should be interesting. Plus the CRDL boys were being much to rude anyway, and hey, they wouldn't be dead forever so they felt no fear for their fates. I mean, Adam died, so they'll come back.
Maybe.
"Now then," Mayden wasted no time giving his latest cast from a world that has dealt with 'Incineration' and awesome 'Beasts' and gave them the knowledge necessary to figure out what they needed to know.
"A theatre with a mommy!"
"So Ruby isn't the cause of this."
"Eh, I've seen weirder."
"This seems cool."
All four took it surprisingly well. Though then again, they have been traveling across time and junk like that while facing a giant snake women, a bunch of monsters, and having dealt with those Cryptor fellows. So this was barely a six on their 'What the Hell' meter.
"These guys are taking it surprisingly well." Yatsu says not realizing the crazy stuff those four have been.
"I sense great power in them." The red eyed girl narrowed her eyes sensing all but the blonde fool-the one showing his stomach shamelessly-were super strong.
"Cool." mayden continued glad there was no over the top reaction. "Now then, are you all ready to see an OP from anime?"
"Anime?" The albino girl went. "Don't you mean another world?"
"Sure, we'll go with that." Don't want them learning of the real world. "In any case, let's start."
"I guess this will be fun." The red eye boy with gold chains covering him smirked and calling upon food.
"Trust me kid, it will be." Whitley says.
"And if not, then leave." Adam grumbled getting sick of all the crazy antics here.
The screen then started.
Light music then began playing at a high tempo. From it two images then came out with the silhouettes of two young men. The music continued playing to reveal another two of the same as the above, where quickly it changed to show four other silhouettes of varying people.
"Hey, does anybody recognize who those guys were?" The blonde fool asked the cast.
"Nope." Was the majority of the response.
"They did seem familiar though." Coco threw a piece of popcorn in her mouth.
"It happened a bit to fast." Whitley think.
"I'm sure we'll figure it out soon enough."
The music keeps playing until it changes the scenery to some snow where it shows a pair of feet with tattoos all over it.
Finally the scene shows just who the four figures from the first half of the scenery is. Showing four individuals of young teenage men. All of them standing on the roof of a building that overlooked Vale city itself.
The first is one with a red cloth on him, tattoos all over his body with a sinister smile on his face.
The second being a young man with black skin, yellow eyes, and white hair. On his side were two guns with blades on them.
The third is a rather skinny fellow with dark skin, a waistcloth like the first, and an eery skull mask that appeared to be attacked to his face with an orange arm.
The final being a young teen with purple armor and a rather handsome face. All of them watching the city with the wind brushing their faces.
"Ph!" The blonde fool coughed the drink he conjured up earlier. "Those guys!"
"You know them?" cinder looked to the newcomers.
"Kinda." The albino girl glared at the tattoo man. "I know what that monster did to my mom , father, and brother...from another place."
"Are they a mother." The scarred little girl asked strangely.
"This should be neat." the blond boy with red eyes smiled.
Keep dreaming 'bout a better world
The tattooed teen smirked with his face zoomed in. Something that isn't good if it's All the Worlds Evil.
You keep wishing for some clarity
It showed the serious expression of the ex-hero of justice. Then the masked man who lost his identity, and finally the mad knight himself.
Always hoping that a lighting bolt
Is going to save you from this gravity
Their forms then broke into a shower of ashes as the scene then raised to overview the sky of the city.
You're holding out for some romantic life
It showed a blackened knight with dark purple armor, which then changed into a lighter tone. Finally the helmet coming off with a sword being held in his hand.
Maybe you'll wake up in a world of charm
The strange masked man then came first looking like a regular person with a shawl and robe covering his body and face, then turning into his present self only with a bandaged arm. Finally changing into his regular form but with his orange arm enlarged and outstretched.
After him then came the ex hero of justice as a young boy with orange hair instead and light skin. Then white hair with tanned skin looking much older. Yet like the other two then changing into his current self as seen before.
Oh but what's here can set you free
It then showed a strange void of nothingness, suddenly changing to a wolf shadow monster, then the tattooed boy from earlier.
You don't have to dream!
"Excluding the weirdness of it all, this isn't half bad." Emerald liked the tune.
"I don't know," Roman spoke up. "There's just something about the song I don't like."
"You don't like anything Torchwick." Mercury snided getting a glare.
Your life's a masterpiece
If you just believe!
The next scene then revealed none other than the witch of Remnant itself Salem. Her Grimm Oracle in the air as she watches it with a smile, a group of the four boys seen on it. Then zooming in on her eyes revealing none other than her own inner circle smiling viciously waiting for their next order.
The tune then got deeper.
Then all you see is all you need
As the words stretched out, it next showed a young handsome man with blue hair and a coat typing on a computer with a serious expression. Then suddenly from nowhere the very scene was cracked as tentacles covered the screen shattering it.
"That seems…" The albino girl shivered. "Familiar."
"Creepy." Adam admits.
"And unnatural." Fox adds.
Right now your hopes are shattered
It then reveals Ozpin with Glynda, both smiling.
Just pointless ever after
It proceeds to then show Team RWBY, and then quickly JNPR. Both teams all prepared for battle looking full of joy.
But in time you'll find through love your power just shines
It of course through the rest of those words, shows a bunch of shadowed figures. A girl with tentacles coming beneath her, a gigantic man with armor with dark Grimm-like creatures with coats, an old fellow carrying with him a coffin on him, Roman Torchwick with Neo, and even a young girl with orange hair with a bun on the side of her hair and others.
"That's a lot of strange people." Mercury concludes.
"Please, if anything you guys are the strange ones." The blonde fool states.
When you don't know where to turn to
And you're sure all hope is gone
When the day you waited for won't come
And dark won't yield to dawn
The next scene reveals the four men from before, each of them battling Grimm of whatever sorts. Running past them being all of team RWBY as they helped out when a strange unknown Grimm with the form of a reptile bursts out.
Trust Love!
We then see the man with blue hair easily batting away Roman Torchwick though the thief fought back with his own cane as best he could.
Watching them is Neo as she readied herself to join.
Open up your eyes
Trust Love!
Adam Taurus himself came with his White Fang members battling the Grimm wearing coats while he dealt with the giant man with lighting coming from behind him.
The truth is there but sometimes in disguise
The way's uncertain but we're together
Moving toward the light
Finally the tattooed boy came out with his reverse blades, his own tattoos glowing brightly blue. He then struck at none other than Ozpin himself who faced him alongside Ironwood.
"Okay, this is a pretty cool OP." Mercury says.
"Double as it shows Torchwick getting his ass kicked." Emerald snickers.
"And Adam battling someone who will likely kill him." Cinder taunts the faunus who growls.
"Those guys were," The albino girl was about to say only for the younger version of the tyrant to shush her. Didn't want to spoil the surprise.
When we trust in love and open up our eyes
At last it showed the four boys from the beginning each of them attacking in their own way. The first with his blades, the second shooting the screen, the third with his arm, and finally the fourth with his sword.
As the song was coming to a close, it showed them, Team RWBY and JNPR alongside the blue haired man, the giant man, Ozpin, and even Penny. All of them standing in front of beacon looking rather sharp.
The scene ends.
"Alright...not horrible." Tock smiles.
"I give it a zero." The blonde fool says. "Where was me!?" Self-centered he is.
"I liked it." The red eyed girl appreciated the song. It felt good.
"7 out of ten." Neo raises her sign.
"Hey, how come it showed other people and not ourselves, excluding those like Ozpin and the like." Coco then called out to Mayden.
"Just because." A rather sad answer. But he couldn't just say because the song that OP was from was their home world, thus making it weird if he just showed them just themselves and their future. No spoilers for them.
"Got it." And it would appear coco and the others were already getting used to Mayden's half-answers.
"Still, this felt rather short." Velvet says.
"Heck yeah." the blonde boy with red eyes agrees. "It was nice, but I'd rather see more."
"Man are you guys needy." Mayden tells them. "It took me days and over a week to finish this."
"Huh?" The scarred girl tilted her head. "But it's only been a minute."
"Time difference." And not to mention the fourth wall. "Still, I guess I can show you something else."
Mayden then turned on the screen again.
"Yes. two for the price of..uh, something." Mercury called out.
"This should be enjoyable." The albino girl says while she shook her wand wondering why Ruby wasn't answering.
"Whatever, just get on with it." The blonde fool simply said. Hot soup then landed on his skin as he screamed.
"Hehehe." Mayden chuckles. "Divine judgement." He loved being in charge.
The scene then opened up. There it started playing a tune where it revealed a few locations. The first being none other than the shattered room of Remnant, all destroyed in the night sky.
The next location then showed what appeared to be the floating city of Atlas itself.
It then changed to what is the very school known as Atlas Academy, where the scene finally shows Ironwood himself with his beard looking on with tired eyes.
The four new guests raised an eye at that alongside the red eye girl. How the heck is the moon destroyed like that...And what was powerful enough to do it.
As for the others, they recognized ironwood and just wondered what this would reveal about him.
Stepping in a shadowland, there's no paradise
Sappy Old Remedies, there's no certainty
But still I Go up the river
I only hold on to the ladder
A fire that lights even in tears
That's a single sign, that's a single light
Ironwood was then walking, a white shadow casted down on him.
While he did so, images of the stars themselves came showing other people. People he knew that worked under him and did his best for them.
Winter being the most prominent. Then afterwards five others being his best team of all, the Ace Ops. Clover, Vine, Elm, Harriet, and Marrow.
The last two being his best scientist Pitro Polendina with the second largest image being none other than Pietro's daughter Penny Polendina with her baldes out all grown up and ready to fight.
"Is it just me, or does the robot girl look...bigger?" Roman whispered to Neo who shrugged.
"Must be a world where she's alive." Emerald spoke to Cinder.
"Perhaps. She was an easy kill in are world, and glad to see that tin can is gone." Oh if only she knew.
Don't let the song stop even in a night where the dawn never comes
Don't let the wandering dream get tangled up
Don't look back at the footprints that missed each other
Don't let you go, even if you step out from the path
Ironwood kept walking. His eyes looking tired with his face shown up close. Recalling everything that had happened, the Fall of Beacon, the White Fang attacking his home, Mantle starting an uprise, and so on.
Yet suddenly he remembered something. And whatever it was, his eyes, while still tired, slowly began gaining a determined light in them. One that made him believe that he shouldn't give up. Not yet.
"Better than older me." Boy was his older version an ass. Where did he go wrong?
"Eh, bet he'll turn evil or something." The blonde fool went.
"Hopefully not." yatsu knew that the general put an embargo, but he wouldn't turn bad...right?
I'm the Prover, I am the Prover
Two people then came up.
One was a person with a scorpion tail with blades on his wrists.
The second moving his arm with glowing rings on them, his coat fluttering.
Watts and Tyrian, with a Grimm Oracle by their side. The two smiling as they stood in a snowy alley ready to cause mayhem.
Cinder narrowed her eyes. What were those two up to?
I'll stand against the endless world
It then shows Dr. Pitro building something with a smile, on his spider wheelchair.
Penny showing up with her back shown and blades out glowing.
I'm the Prover, when the voice of life starts to resonate
An old woman is then seen, a strange glow coming from her. Winter then re-seen showing up next with the same glow coming off her.
Cinder now looked angry. She recognized that glow.
It then shows Team FNKI walking down looking confident. The next showing Robyn Hill and her team walking down Mantle's own streets looking serious.
I'll go with you on the ship that won't sink
Ironwood was finally seen, his own gun held as he re-stocked it. He then looked above the sky, ready to protect his home.
The scene ending.
"Wish it was me still." The blonde fool said.
"That felt so sad." the alnbino girl sniffled.
"Well, the song did sound depressing. I think?" to be honest, Whitley didn't listen to music much.
"Pah." Adam would have preferred the general dying.
"Welp, that's that." Mayden says. "In any case, until next time."
"Seriously!" Roman calls out. "Who do you keep talk-"
And there's that. And I know, I know, I'm not super good with adding words and lyrics. Still working on that. Still, I felt I did decent enough. Also, i should mention that now with college back on my schedule, updates will be...tighter. I'll still do my best, but yeah, it sucks. Still, I AIN'T quitting this story. Also, i hope you enjoy the four new guests. Can you guess where they came from?In any case, until next time.
