Gordeau led the group out of his room into a hallway. The group, for the most part was trying to wrap their collective heads around what they had just seen. As such they were unusually quiet. "Usually I keep my area small, just my bedroom and a small kitchen. However, I can't expect us all to watch universes in my room, can I?" He gestured down the hall before continuing, "Down this hall are replicas of each of your rooms from back home. I have also recreated the teams' bedrooms from Beacon if they would rather stay in those. I know that what you all have just witnessed is a bit overwhelming, but trust me the universes we will be watching can help distract you for a while. If any of you need to rest though please head to your room. We won't continue without you."

When no one headed for the bedrooms, Gordeau continued, walking down a flight of stairs, "Good, the universes are an amazing distraction. This is the lobby, there is a concession stand, a meal service station, and an open bar."

Qrow's eyes lit up, then he immediately cursed himself at the thought. Torchwick gained a sinister looking grin.

"The concession stand has your usual movie going fare including popcorn and candy."

Ruby began ogling the candy, while Mercury was staring at the popcorn.

"And the meal service station can get you any food you want."

Nora was eyeing this station madly, "I can order as many pancakes as I want!"

Gordeau pointed to a set of double doors, "While what we are viewing are not technically movies, they will feel like it. The theater is in there. Grab whatever concessions you want and meet me in there."

Gordeau entered the theater and cued up the closest universe. Soon his associates began entering the room. The front row consisted of, in order, Weiss, Ruby, Yang, Blake, Ilia, Sun, Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora, Ren. Winter sat behind Weiss, Summer sat behind Ruby, and Tai sat behind Yang. Qrow sat next to Tai, while Raven sat behind the members of Team STRQ. Torchwick and Neo sat in the back-left corner of the theater, while Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury took the back-right. Adam took a seat as far away from everyone else as he could. Gordeau sat in the direct middle of the theater with Ozpin and Oscar on either side of him, though he was not happy about it.

"So, everyone ready?" Gordeau asked.

Everyone nodded and he started the universe.

The screen opened to an underwater scene. Seaweed moved past until words appeared on screen.

'There must be a beginning of any great matter, but the continuing unto the end until it be thoroughly finished yields the true glory. – Sir Francis Wukong'

"Wait," Sun commented, "This universe is about me?"

"Looks like it." Blake responded casually.

Sun's smile widened, as his already impressive ego inflated.

"Those are wise words," Ozpin thought, "If only I could end this fight."

The view panned down to see a half-buried coffin. As it appeared, the scene changed to the coffin on a boat. A voice spoke while the coffin was filmed.

"I'm here off the coast of Vacuo, where we've just recovered what we believe to be the coffin of legendary explorer Sir Francis Wukong, who was buried at sea over 400 years ago."

"I know that voice!" Blake commented with a look of surprise on her face.

Yang glanced at her partner, "Oh, really? Who is it?"

"Someone we haven't seen in a long time." She responded cryptically.

The camera panned around the coffin until Sun Wukong walked into view with a crowbar. He jammed it into the coffin and started to pry it open.

"Huh, grave robbing kid?" Qrow asked with a raised eyebrow, "Didn't think you would stoop that low."

"Well, I am from Vacuo," Sun responded, "But that is low even for me."

The view changed from the camera to a wider shot, revealing the camera to be held by nonother that Velvet Scarlatina. Both she and Sun are wearing wet suits as if they both just finished diving.

"Velvet!" Ruby yelled. She began jumping up and down, happy to see her old friend again.

"Oh, that makes sense," Yang commented, "Look she even has her camera too."

"Are you sure you wanna be defiling your ancestor's remains like that?" Velvet asked cautiously.

"You make it sound so dirty!" Sun laughed as he circled to the other side of the coffin.

Yang, Tai, Qrow, and Roman laughed at the joke, while everyone else looked disgusted.

"Besides, I thought you didn't believe me." He stuck the crowbar into the side of the coffin and started prying again.

"Well, I did do my research," Velvet continued as she circled, "And apparently, Francis Wukong didn't have any children."

"Wait, how can Sun exist in this universe if that were true?" Weiss asked curiously.

"It will be explained," Gordeau commented, "But not until much later in this universe. In fact, it took about ten years of real time for that information to come out."

"Wait, ten years?" Oscar asked him trying to wrap his brain around it.

"Yes, this universe is long running. I get bored watching the same characters all the time, so I split it into portions, this is just the first."

"Well, history can be wrong you know." Sun said as he finally pried the lid loose, "For example- you can't defile an empty coffin."

Sun pushed the lid off the coffin to reveal it is, in fact, empty save for a small lock box.

"What the hell?" Raven, Qrow, and Roman said at the same time.

"What the hell?" Velvet asked obviously shocked.

Everyone else began laughing at the shared sentiment.

Sun pulled the lock box out. The lock long rusted away; Sun opened it to find a small book. Flipping through it quickly he found that it contains charts and coordinates.

Sun laughed, "You devil."

"What is it?" Velvet asked curiously, "C'mon, hold it up."

Sun looked at her strangely before putting his hand over the camera, "No, no, no – no way. The deal was for a coffin, that's it."

"Well, that's rude," Pyrrha commented.

"That's business," Winter responded, "Unless this Velvet has a loophole worked in, Mr. Wukong has no reason to show her this book."

Velvet began to argue, "Wait a minute, if my show hadn't've funded this expedition, you wouldn't've,"

"You got your story lady," Sun interrupted.

"Well, he's still being rude." Pyrrha exclaimed.

"Look, Mr. Wukong," Velvet said angrily, "you signed a contract. I have a right to see every single thing that,"

Sun began to chuckle at her before something in the distance caught his eye, "Whoa, oh, oh, could you hold that thought?" he asked quietly.

"Somethings wrong," Ren commented, trying to figure out what was happening on screen.

"Finally, maybe we'll get to see some action," Mercury commented only to have Cinder's elbow jab him in the side.

He walked over to a radio and began talking into it, "Torchwick? Uh, we got some trouble. Hurry it up."

"What are you calling me for, Monkey Boy?" Torchwick asked.

"I don't know," Sun responded, "I would never ask you for help."

Velvet's tone shifted to one of concern, "Okay, okay, what's going on?" she asked as she walked over to Sun.

Sun began to walk to a case before he turned to her and casually remarked, "Uh, pirates."

"Pirates?!" Ruby, Yang, Nora, Tai, and Mercury all leaned forward excitedly.

"Pirates?!" Velvet asked hoping it was some kind of joke.

Sun pulled the case onto a crate and opened it revealing two 9mm pistols, "Yeah, the modern kind. They don't take prisoners. At least not male prisoners"

The excitement of pirates was quickly dashed by that comment, being replaced by disgust at the connotations of it.

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Velvet asked looking in the direction Sun had earlier. Her eyes widened when she saw a fleet of speed boats approaching.

"Uh, sh-shouldn't we call the authorities or something?" she asked nervously.

"They wouldn't get there in time," Raven commented earning her dirty looks from quite a few people.

"She's right," Adam agreed, "even if they contacted someone, they are too far from land for it to be of any help." This earned Adam his fair share of glares.

"That'd be a great idea," Sun responded worriedly, "but we don't exactly have a permit to be here." He chuckled as he finished the line.

Roman chuckled, "Okay, now I see why you're working with me kid."

"What?" Velvet asked angrily.

"Yeah, so unless you want to end up in a Vacuoan jail, we should probably handle this ourselves." Sun began prepping the guns.

"Pirates it is then," Sun, Adam, Ilia, Qrow, Roman, and Neo all commented.

"Wait, why?" Ruby and Summer both asked giving looks to Sun and Qrow respectively.

"You obviously haven't been in a Vacuoan jail." Sun responded.

Velvet brought her hands up to her head and began thinking, "Wh-What's worse?" She asked trying to weigh her options.

"You obviously haven't been in a Vacuoan jail." Sun stated, all tone of joking gone from his voice.

"Well, at least I agree with myself here." Sun retorted.

"Do you know how to use one of these?" he asked handing Velvet one of the guns.

"Uh, yeah," she responded hesitantly, "it's like a camera. You just point and shoot, right?"

"Uhh," Ruby groaned, "No it's not. A camera has no projectile and no recoil. A camera you just aim at what you want and snap a picture. A gun you have to take in wind speed, how fast you are moving, how fast your targets moving, how,"

Weiss clamped her hand over Ruby's mouth, "Ruby, what have we said about the ranting?"

"That I shouldn't do it anymore because no one other than me cares," she groaned.

"Good girl," Sun responded slightly mocking her, "Here we go."

Velvet tensed up not really ready for the situation, "How the hell'd they find us out here?"

"These guys have been tailing me for weeks." Sun responded calmly, "Thought I'd lost 'em."

"Well, I see your brain is just as small in this universe," Emerald commented.

"Hey, I'm smart where I need to be." Sun retorted.

He and Velvet both started firing at the pirates.

Velvet eventually asked, "So, what'd you do to piss 'em off?"

"Uh, it's kind of a long story." Sun responded but doesn't answer the question.

"So, what's the story?" Nora asked impatiently really hoping to hear some crazy adventure.

"We may never know, Nora," Ren responded calmly.

The duo continued fighting, taking cover behind the crates on deck and taking shots when they could.

"These guys don't like you much, do they?" Velvet asked jokingly.

"Wow, Velvet is sassy in this universe," Yang commented surprised at their shy bunny friend.

"Less talking, more shooting!" Sun responded angrily.

They continued fighting the pirates from a range. After Sun dropped one, he muttered under his breath, "Hurry up, Torchwick."

"Don't know what your expecting me to do, kid. I would probably leave you for dead down there." Roman said honestly.

Suddenly Velvet yelled, "They're climbing aboard!"

Sun spun around and, sure enough, one of the pirate's boats had gotten around them. The crew was boarding. "Oh, no you don't." Sun said quietly, charging one of grunts. With a flurry of punches, Sun quickly knocked the man down.

"Wow, Sun, didn't know you were brawler," Yang whistled at the display, "Want to have a sparring match later?" She asked with a grin.

"No thank you," Sun responded, "I'm still sore from the last time."

They kept fighting as more and more boats appeared. "C'mon, Torchwick, where are you?" Sun wondered out loud.

Suddenly and explosion rocked the boat and innumerable bullets begin blasting the boat.

"Oh, my Gods!" Velvet yelled, "Wukong – that one's got some kind of rocket launcher!"

"Oooh!" Ruby, Summer, and Nora's eyes lit up.

Sun peaked out of his cover to see that the boat had both a rocket launcher and a mounted turret on it. "Whoa. Okay that's not good."

Suddenly the sound of a propeller could be heard in the distance.

"What's that?" Velvet asked.

A bullhead flew over head before circling back around.

"Whooo!" Sun yelled jubilantly, "All right, Torchwick!"

"Wait, I'm flying that thing?" Roman asked.

The bullhead flew right over the pirates' boat and capsized it.

"And I'm helping? Jeez, who am I in this universe?" Roman asked to no one in particular.

Sun followed the bullhead with his eyes. After looking around, the duo realized their boat was on fire.

"Oh – I don't think I'm getting my security deposit back," Velvet said solemnly.

Everyone got a good chuckle out of the joke.

Suddenly the boat began to rock. "Ah-dammit!" Sun said realizing the situation, "Whole ships gonna blow! We gotta jump!" Sun yelled to the worried Velvet.

"Yeah," Velvet began to run to the edge of the boat before stopping, "Oh, wait." She turned around and ran back to grab her camera.

"What are you doing? There's no time!" Ilia yelled at the screen. She had been in similar situations before.

"What are you doing?" Sun asked incredulously.

Velvet grabbed the camera and turned back to Sun, "Okay… Okay…"

"The camera, really?" Ilia asked still shocked at the screen.

Blakes looked over at her friend and commented, "You'd be surprised what she can do with that camera."

"C'mon," Sun yelled at her, "Go!" They both jumped off the boat right before it exploded.

As Sun and Velvet resurfaced, the bullhead touched down next to them. The doors opened to reveal Roman Torchwick standing there, cigar in mouth, laughing at the two, "I can't leave you alone for a minute, can I?"

"Well, I really am working with a criminal!" Sun threw his hands up in disgust.

"Hey, from the looks of it you're not squeaky clean yourself." Roman commented back.

Sun laughed back at him, "I had everything under control until they blew up the boat!"

Sun looked over at Velvet as she swam towards them slowly, camera raised above the water, "You alright?"

"Nothing that years of therapy won't fix," she jokingly responded.

"Pfft, she's been in worse situations than that." Nora commented with scoff.

Torchwick hung a small ladder over the edge of the bullhead. Velvet handed him her camera before climbing out of the water.

"Well, if it isn't the beautiful and talented, Velvet Scarlatina," Torchwick remarked helping her into the bullhead.

"Uhhh," all the students thought at the same time.

Roman however realized something. "Okay, I must not be a master criminal in this world. If she is a reporter, she would've recognized me."

Velvet giggled, "Flattery will get you screen time."

"Uhhhh," all the students said out loud this time.

"I'll have to remember that." Roman commented.

"Yeah, I'm more of a behind-the-scenes kind of guy. Roman Torchwick." He stated introducing himself as he kissed Velvet's hand.

"UGGGH!" the entire audience sans Roman, Raven, and Qrow yelled at the same time.

Roman however was thinking about the other part of the statement, "Behind-the-scenes? When have I ever been a behind-the-scenes guy?"

Neo responded by slapping him.

Sun meanwhile was looking for help getting into the bullhead but the other two just walked off leaving him alone to deal with it. "Oh – for Godssakes." He grumbled in frustration.

Sun began closing up the bullhead, "Whaddya say we get out of here before we attract any more attention?"

Torchwick moved to the cock pit and took off flying towards the far side of Vacuo. Sun came up and sat in the co-pilots seat.

"Well?" Torchwick asked eager to see if Sun found what he was looking for.

Sun looked back to see if Velvet is looking. Seeing she wasn't, he showed Torchwick the book, "A little present from Sir Francis."

Torchwick gave a knowing laugh, "So you found the coffin? Wait a minute – is this what I think it is?"

Sun gave a nod and a chuckle, "Wukong's lost diary. He faked his death, just like I said Torchwick. He must have been on the something big."

"Okay, you have my attention," Roman commented with Cinder, Raven, and Neo nodding in agreement.

Torchwick gave him a worried look, "Yeah, well, let's just keep that between us."

Suddenly Velvet stuck her head in the cock pit handing the gun back to Sun, "Thanks for the loan, Mr. Wukong. I think I've earned a look at that diary when we land." She gave a look to the two men that states 'I heard everything.'

"Oh, no." Roman and Neo both commented facepalming at the same time.

"Wait, what just happened?" Ruby asked.

Roman was about to explain but Gordeau cut him off, "It will be explained shortly."

Torchwick gave Sun another worried look, but Sun just shrugged him off.

The scene changed to a secluded beach, the bullhead sitting on the dock. Torchwick and Sun were inside discussing things, while Velvet was outside talking on her scroll.

Sun began discussing history with Torchwick, "So look, when Wukong sailed into the ocean he took the Mistral fleet completely by surprise. He captured their ships, he took all their maps, their letters, their journals and he recorded everything in this diary."

"Even if it is 400 years out of date, that could have valuable military intelligence in it," Winter commented.

Cinder, Raven, and Adam nodded in agreement though for a completely different reason.

"Uh-huh, so this," Torchwick tried to get a word in but Sun just kept talking.

"But when he got back to Vacuo, the Queen confiscated all of his charts and logbooks – including this one – and then swore his entire crew to silence."

"Why would that happen?" Jaune asked, "They could have used that info."

"Yeah so this," Torchwick tried again but there was no stopping Sun's history lesson.

"Y'see, Wukong discovered something on that voyage Torchwick, something so secret and so valuable, they couldn't risk it getting out."

"All right, Sun," Torchwick interrupted this time not being stopped, "just pretend for a minute that I don't really care about any of that stuff and cut to the chase wouldya?"

"Thank you!" Nora, Roman, Neo, Mercury, Yang, and Tai exclaimed all at the same time.

Weiss scoffed, "I was really getting interested in that story."

Sun sighed, "A man only interested in the climax. You must be a real hit with the ladies."

"Never had any complaints," Torchwick deadpanned.

"UGGGGGGGH." The groan was back and Roman got an even bigger slap this time. Qrow, however, was laughing uncontrollably, which earned him a smack on the back of the head from Raven.

"Okay, then," Sun continued, "I'll jump to the good part, just for you." Sun set the diary down on the table. It was open to a map with the words 'El Dorado' written on the top.

Torchwick laughed upon seeing this, "El Goddamn Dorado."

"Uhh, does that mean anything to anyone?" Roman asked, trying to figure out what his counterpart is so excited for.

Everyone else shook their heads no.

Sun chuckled, "He was onto something big all right."

"Does it say anything else?" Torchwick asked with a renewed zeal in his eyes. He picked up the diary and began to leaf through it.

"Oh, so now you're interested, huh?" Sun stated sarcastically, while swiping the diary from Torchwick's hands. "Well, unfortunately no – last page was torn out."

Torchwick rolled his eyes and leaned back clearly annoyed at the turn this conversation has taken.

"I'm telling you Torchwick," Sun continued, "This is it – this is finally it."

"It's what? We don't know what it is?" Yang yelled at the screen. She really didn't like being kept in the dark.

"Yeah," Torchwick said seriously, "Only we got one little problem." He pointed outside to Velvet.

Velvet had been talking to her boss on her scroll this whole time, "Yes, that's what I said – it blew up. It sank. No, that's why we have insurance right?" Her face sunk when she hears the response, "Oh. Oh no, the camera? No, the camera's fine, don't worry about the camera. No, still as good as new."

Back in the bullhead Sun began to argue, "Torchwick, the girl can hold her own. You shoulda seen her."

"Yeah," Ruby commented and blew a raspberry at Roman, who blew one right back.

"Fine," Torchwick explained, "you go on out there and you tell her "we just found the lost City of Gold," maybe her producer can get it on the air tonight."

Everyone's eyes went wide in shock, none more so than Roman, Neo, and Raven.

"A City of Gold?" Roman questioned standing up. Directing his next comment to Sun, "Kid, we're gonna be rich!"

"Oh, come on!" Sun argued forgetting the implications if what Torchwick is saying.

"Sun – do you trust me?" Torchwick asked seriously.

"NO!" everyone in the room but Roman and Neo commented.

"Fair enough," Roman replied, "I wouldn't trust me either."

"More or less." Sun deadpanned.

"WHAT!" this time everyone made that comment.

"Good," Torchwick continued, "'cause we're gonna have every two-bit scumbag in the world racing us to this treasure, unless we cut her loose right now."

"Oh," Ruby said finally realizing what Roman meant.

Sun bowed his head, realizing Torchwick is right, "You're a real gentleman, Roman."

"I know," he replied, "it stinks. She'll get over it." He walked to the cock pit to prepare for take-off.

Velvet was still on her scroll, "No, I don't – I don't care if we're over budget. I mean – Do you realize this could be like, the biggest story of the year?" She looked into the bullhead to see Torchwick waving at her. She waved back with a little laugh, "No, I don't trust 'em okay? That's why we need to move fast. So just get me the camera crew and I promise you that,"

As Velvet is finishing this line, Torchwick took off in the bullhead leaving her stranded on the dock. "Son of a Bitch."

"Son of a Bitch!" Qrow, Tai, and Yang said at the same time, earning Yang a smack on the head from Summer.

Velvet commented to herself, "Shoulda seen that one coming."

"Yeah, you should've Bunny Girl. Well more gold for us kid!" Roman said a smile widening on his face.

"I feel bad about leaving her behind." Sun commented.

Roman shrugged, "As I said 'she'll get over it.'"

Gordeau noticed something though, his scroll had a new message on it. Not from his boss, but from someone else. As he read it his eye's lit up. Maybe we can make something good out of this. This universe isn't great for it but I'll need to plan ahead.


A/N: So, I figure at the end of each chapter when a new character is introduced, I'd explain my casting decisions and if the plot develops, I'll help that along too. So, plot wise, Gordeau is working on something. His background is still true so he isn't evil. It's a good plot just need to see where it goes. As for casting:

Nathan Drake-Sun Wukong: This roll was a tough one to fill. Nate is important in a lot of ways to the series. I could only think of four characters to fill this roll and they all had problems. Jaune was my first thought, but he isn't nearly sarcastic enough to play Nate. Sun was choice two and his problem was that he's not really as smart as Nate is. The other two were Mercury and Emerald, as they are both sarcastic and smart, but not nearly kind enough to be Nate. And then after realizing too many fics focus solely on Jaune, I went with Sun. Issue now is most of the reactions Sun would give, Nate gives in the script.

Elena Fisher-Velvet Scarlatina: Honestly this one came down to one factor. The stupid camera that defines Elena's character for two-thirds of the game. I thought about Ruby or Blake in this role, but I actually think Velvet will work better in the long run.

Victor Sullivan-Roman Torchwick: Here's the one I'm sure shocked people, especially considering there is an actual character named Roman in this game. I did make a tough call here though. This one came down to Roman vs. Qrow, but Sully, even though he is a good guy, is still a greedy S.O.B. so I chose Roman. Also, for the cigar but who's counting.
