"So the entire world was destroyed?" Raven asked.

Gordeau nodded, "It wasn't the first the creatures consumed either. Remember what Blake said in her letter about the stars?"

"They were blinking out," Blake remembered.

"I'm just glad I wasn't there," Neo shuddered, "I ended up at ground zero for Beacon and that was not pretty."

Ilia reached over to comfort her, but stopped mid-way in shock, "Uh, Sundae?"

"Yes?" Neo turned to ask, but instantly saw what Ilia had meant.

She was now wearing the same black cloak they had seen on Luxu and Adam, though sized perfectly for her shape.

"Wait…WHAT?!" Neo jumped out of her seat.

Everyone gasped in shock as Jaune remembered something he'd mentioned earlier, "Wait… Does this mean Neo's real name IS Luxu?"

"Or," Adam suggested, "It could just mean she's allies with me in this world. If I'm wearing one, it's obvious Luxu and the Master aren't the only ones who have them. Also, she's too short to be Luxu."

"WHAT did you say!?" Neo fumed as she turned to the Faunus.

"I'm just saying," Adam shrugged, "Luxu was a lot taller than you are, so logically, you're an ally of mine."

Neo sat back and grumbled, but pondered this for a while.

Roman looked on, worried about how this new revelation might affect her.

Cinder scowled as she ignored the commotion around that turncoat Neo as she kept staring at the screen.

Honestly, after seeing those Islands being ripped apart and devoured by the Darkness she felt just the slightest bit uneasy. Adam was right with his question. She wanted society to burn to the ground sure, but she didn´t want the whole planet to be destroyed or all of humanity to be wiped out.

That made her also fearful of what her Mistress really had planned with the Relics. The memories which her Mistress' son had shown them clearly said that uniting all four Relics would summon the Brother Gods back to Remnant. Was that her Mistress plan?

It made Cinder honestly afraid as she remembered the wave of destruction which the God of Darkness unleashed on Humanity. She really didn´t want to die anytime soon and she was no longer confident if following Salem might not be a death-sentence for her.

Is this how Roman felt earlier? She thought to herself.

Eventually, everyone resigned to just keep watching and see what happened.

Qrow, now in his standard outfit, looked up from where he was standing and pointed at the sky, "Winter! A star's going out."

Winter, also in her original outfit but with the addition of a blue beret with zippers all over it, looked up and saw he was right. A star twinkled out of existence.

"And there goes our home," Pyrrha sighed.

"Yeah, it's too bad," Ruby thought, "Those islands looked peaceful."

"I still want to know if I did that," Weiss grumbled.

Winter shook it off, it probably wouldn't be the last one she saw on this adventure, "Come on. Let's hurry."

They were in the plaza of a town. It was made of brown stone. Suddenly, a giant neon sign appeared. Letters flipped into existence until they spelled out 'Traverse Town.'

"Our first new world," Penny smiled, "I wonder what this one is like?"

"Where's that key," Winter wondered out loud.

"Maybe," Qrow thought, "We ought to go find Robyn?"

"No, you need to find Ruby," Robyn noted, "But, apparently, I can point you in the right direction."

"Wait," Clover wondered, "Considering Robyn is here and Ruby was on the islands her whole life, how does Robyn know where to find the Keyblade?"

No one really had an answer to that.

The pair, along with Zwei, approached a stair case. They ascended when Zwei caught the scent of something and went the opposite way of Winter.

Qrow's gaze followed Zwei, "Uh, Ice Queen? I bet that…"

"Ah what do you know, you big palooka!" Winter retorted with a huff as she stormed off.

"Huh," Qrow tilted his head, "Never been called that before…"

"It sounds made up," Winter noted with a chuckle, "But I must say, it fits you well."

"Yeah," Qrow took a drink, "What do I know? C'mon Zwei!" he called out before following Winter.

Zwei continued down the alley. His nose led him to a pile of barrels where an unconscious Ruby waited.

Qrow smirked and Winter glared at him, "Not one word."

Roman shrugged, "I don't care. You'd have found Red by now if you'd just listened to Bird-Brain here. Maybe take what he says more seriously from time to time."

Zwei licked her face and Ruby's eyes fluttered open.

"Ugh," she groaned as she looked around. She noticed Zwei and leaned back against the wall, "What a dream."

"I could see it," Jaune noted, "That was a lot to happen all at once."

"And after the dream she had earlier," Pyrrha agreed, "It would be pretty easy to assume this was also just a weird dream."

Zwei, seeing she was going to fall asleep again, pounced on her.

"Ah!" Ruby cried out, "This isn't a dream!"

Ruby stood up hesitantly and looked around the alley, "Where am I?"

"Oh, boy," she sighed before looking at Zwei, "Do you know where we are?"

"Ooh," Ruby cooed, "Zwei can show me the way! He's the best dog ever!"

Zwei barked happily but, much to Blake's chagrin, didn't move from next to her foot.

Zwei's ear perked up as he heard something. He ran off as Ruby called out, "Hey!"

"Zwei!" Ruby complained, "Don't leave me!"

"What'd he hear?" Velvet asked, "I didn't hear anything, and it was way too late to be Qrow's call."

Ruby followed Zwei out of the alley and looked around in shock. She stared out into the plaza of Traverse Town. On her left was a large door with the label '3rd District' on it. Directly in front of her was another large door. On her right was a small café and store with a sign that read 'Items.'

"This is totally weird," she thought out loud before realizing something, "I'm in another world!"

"This looks like the town square," Ozpin noted, "But there's no one there…"

"You would think a town would have more people out and about," Lionheart agreed.

She turned around and saw a shop with the label 'Accessories.' She decided to go in and ask the owner about where she was.

She walked in and looked around. There was a large fireplace in the shop, and many display cases with jewelry in them. In one case was a very large crystal. Standing behind the counter, smoking his cigar, stood Roman Torchwick.

"Well, would you look at that," Roman laughed, "Two minutes into a new adventure and you're already running into me, Red."

"And in a shop, too," Ruby agreed, "Though, I think you own this shop. That's a little different than last time."

"Too true, Red," Roman chuckled, "Too true."

He turned as he heard her walk in, "Hey there, how can I…" he trailed off as he saw her, "Aw, it's only a kid."

"I'm not a kid!" Ruby protested as she approached, "And the name's Ruby!"

"No, your name's Red," Neo teased.

"Okay, Okay, simmer down Red," he apologized. He noticed Ruby looked sad, "So why the long face, Red? You lost or somethin'?"

Ruby shrugged, "Looks like you're gonna call me that in whatever universe we find ourselves in."

"Of course," Roman shrugged, "It's your name."

"No!" Ruby stated before sighing, "Well, maybe. Where are we?"

"Huh?" Roman asked, confused.

Ruby explained her situation to him. He then explained the town to her.

"Traverse Town…" Ruby pondered, "So, gramps, is this really another world?"

"And another hero who thinks you're an old man," Sun laughed.

Roman grumbled. He wasn't that old.

"Don't call me gramps!" Roman protested, "The name's Roman."

"Anyway…" he continued, "Not sure what you're talkin' about, but this sure ain't your island."

"No shit," Yang scoffed, "I think she figured that out already."

"Yeah, that was already pretty obvious," Oscar agreed, with less profanity.

"Hmm," Ruby thought, "Guess I'd better start looking for Weiss and Pyrrha."

"Well," Roman waved her off, "Good luck with whatever it is you're doing."

Emerald rolled her eyes, "That is such a you thing to say."

Ruby sighed and walked towards the door.

Roman rolled his eyes, "Hey, Red! If you ever run into trouble you come to me, okay? I'll look out for you."

Tai looked over at Roman, "Thanks, man. Glad she's got someone to look out for her."

Roman shrugged, "As long as you don't expect me to do it here. Red can solve her own problems."

Ruby smiled at him and walked out, ready to search the town for her friends.

She wandered the square, but she didn't see anyone.

"Hard to search for someone if you can't ask any questions," Harriet noted.

"It does take a lot longer," Qrow grumbled, remembering the time he had in Mistral.

"Hmm," a voice called, "I keep seeing new faces today. An odd pair walked by just a little while ago."

Ruby looked up and saw a boy standing on a balcony. She was happy to see someone, then remembered what he said.

"Oh!" Ruby exclaimed, "Were they two girls about my age?"

"Nope!" Nora noted, "It was an Ice Queen and a palooka!"

Qrow sighed, "That's not going away anytime soon, is it?"

"No, sorry," the boy replied, "One of them was definitely a man of some kind, I think he was drunk."

Ruby sighed in defeat as the boy continued, "Hey, cheer up! It's a big town, so check everywhere."

"It doesn't look that big to me," Mercury shrugged, "Unless it has more sections…"

"Where is everywhere?" Ruby asked.

"Try the Second District," he advised, "It's right up those stairs. Big door, can't miss it."

"Well, fuck," Mercury grumbled.

"Do you ever get tired of being wrong?" Emerald smirked at him.

"Eh," he shrugged, "After being told that most of your life, it kinda loses its punch."

Raven sighed, "I had a few run ins with Marcus, mostly because I'm the only target that got away from him. From what I saw he was a terrible person. I know I'm not the model of a good parent, but I truly am sorry you had to grow up with that monster."

"At least you had a family," Emerald grumbled to herself.

"Thanks," Ruby grumbled and walked that direction.

The boy was right, it was impossible to miss, as the door was huge.

Ruby gulped and pushed through the door. Her friends weren't in the first so they might be in the second.

"Here it comes," Blake predicted.

The second district was a large rectangular plaza with a balcony running the side. Ruby approached the ledge when a fair-skinned woman with black hair and brown eyes ran in front of her. She was wearing a sleeveless red dress with a gold trim and a white apron. Her hair was tied in a loop, and she had armbands on both wrists.

Qrow recognized her, "That's the woman you scared half to death, Rae!"

Raven raised an eyebrow, "Is it? Where would that have been?"

"That little bar you met me in," Qrow explained, "You know, after the Fall of Beacon…"

"Right…" Raven remembered.

"Looks like you were wrong, Princess," Yang teased.

Blake sighed, "That's my new nick-name, isn't it?"

"Yup," Yang nodded.

Blake sighed. Hopefully, she could find something equally embarrassing for Yang.

She tripped and fell down with a panicked look on her face. A flash of light appeared above her chest. A heart flew out and ascended into the sky. She faded out of existence.

"What just happened!?" Weiss asked in shock.

"She's…she's gone!" Blake gasped, "Just like that!"

"Did her heart leave her chest?" Ruby asked.

"What being can do that?" Jaune asked.

The heart flew over to a gathering pool of darkness. It transformed into a creature similar to the shadows, however this creature wore a helmet, stood on two legs, and had claws.

"Alright then," Ozpin nodded, "Definitely not Grimm."

"Right," Summer nodded, "Grimm can kill you physically, but not anything like that."

Good. Cinder thought to herself. She scrapped the idea of telling her Mistress anything about these creatures. If they could destroy worlds and rip out heart like that, even she didn't want Salem getting a hold of them.

The creature disappeared into the shadows as Ruby ran forward. She was surrounded by the shadows.

"It's the creatures form the island!" she shouted as the shadows attacked. She fought just like on the island.

There were no other people in the Second District so Ruby decided to check everywhere. The shadows just kept coming as she searched the back alley, the hotel, and the strangely named Gizmo shop, but found no clues.

"I can't believe she hasn't found them by now," Sun shook his head.

"Well," Neptune started, "I would guess that traveling to different worlds requires lots of practice, or a vessel capable of getting you there. Ruby's method was a little strange."

"Agreed," Penny nodded, "I am curious how they got the ship to work though. All of our attempts to reach space end in disaster."

"Maybe something in this universe will tell us how it works," Winter suggested.

Gordeau laughed to himself.

She entered a house and saw two very distraught looking dalmatians. She approached and saw a note, "The 99 puppies were lost amid the chaos of their world's destruction. Find them in various worlds."

"99 lost puppies!" Ruby stood up.

"That's so cruel!" Weiss joined her.

"I hope I find all of them," Ruby declared, "Because no dog should not have a home!"

"Please sit down…" Blake groaned.

"Aw, poor puppies," Ruby cried, "Don't worry, I'll find them for you two." She walked out and headed for the Third District.

The Third District was a small plaza. The way to the first district was shut and locked. There was a strange door with a flame on it that wouldn't open. There was also a vacant house.

"This district looks abandoned," Robyn sighed, "And not like the rest of town. The rest of town appears to be hiding, but I don't think anyone lives here."

"Reminds me of parts of Mantle," Penny agreed.

Ruby didn't find anything there but more shadows, so she went back to see if Roman could help.

She entered the first district and was attacked by the shadows again. She yelped and fought her way to Roman's shop.

"Well, that would explain why there are no people around," Ren agreed with Robyn.

"No one has weapons?" Nora protested.

"I think conventional weapons may be useless," Winter noted, "Though, it was a wooden sword."

She sighed as she approached Roman, "Still haven't found 'em, huh Red?"

"Well," he shrugged, "Keep your chin up. Take another look around town. I'm sure you'll find them."

"That's your suggestion?" Neo rolled her eyes playfully, "Some help you're being."

Roman ignored her.

Ruby left the shop only to be stopped by a female voice, "They'll come at you out of nowhere."

"Oh, there I am," Robyn noted as she recognized her voice.

"Who are you?" Ruby asked as she turned to see a woman standing there. It was Robyn, and she was in her normal outfit, but she had a scar running across the bridge of her nose and a necklace with a lion's head on it.

"And they'll keep on coming at you," Robyn continued, "As long as you continue to wield the Keyblade." She pointed at Ruby's weapon.

"You do seem to know a great deal about it all," Lionheart observed, "I wonder why?"

"I'm sure we'll get an explanation," Oscar hoped.

"But why?" Robyn pondered, "Why would it choose a kid like you?" she rubbed her forehead.

"Hey," Ruby pouted, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Yeah," Ruby pouted along, "I'm good enough for a Keyblade!"

"I don't know, Ruby," Weiss noted, "This seems like a bigger responsibility than just saving Remnant."

"True, there's a lot more at stake," Yang noted, "But I think we can handle it!"

"Yang, we haven't seen or heard mention of you yet," Blake countered, "What makes you so sure you're going to help?"

"Well, Ruby's the main hero, Weiss is her best friend and I think she's still good, and you're a freakin' princess!" Yang listed, "I just have to be part of this team, right?"

"Never mind," Robyn shook her head, "Now, let's see that Keyblade." She approached slowly.

"What?" Ruby asked incredulously, "There's no way you're getting this!"

"Well," Harriet chuckled, "That's no way to go about that! It's her only defense, what makes you think she'll just give it to you?"

"The fate of the worlds," Robyn noted, "Something your boss should take into account and maybe tell us all what he's doing!"

Clover frowned at the Huntress turned politician. She knows now. Would it be so bad as to tell her the plan?

"All right," Robyn stated as she drew her weapon. It was a large sword with a revolver chamber built into the hilt. She rested it on her shoulder. "Have it your way," she finished and attacked Ruby.

"Look Jaune!" Ruby pointed out, "It's a sword that's also a gun!"

"I get it," he rolled his eyes, "I could use a ranged weapon. Thank you for reminding me for the five hundredth time!"

"Actually, reminds me of Harbinger," Qrow noted.

Gordeau shivered as he remembered what that weapon was fated to do. He shook it off though, "Strangely enough, her weapon is just called a Gunblade."

"Cool!" Ruby cheered.

Robyn started by throwing a fireball at Ruby.

Robyn's mouth fell open, "Can I do that too?"

"I'm not sure," Gordeau shrugged, "Your counterpart can use the fire element, but I'm not in control of the UBF. It does what it wants."

Ruby had never seen an attack like that before and took the hit from shock. Robyn followed up with heavy swings from her Gunblade. Ruby never stood a chance and collapsed unconscious.

"Well, I take a much more offensive approach in this universe," Robyn noted.

"It worked," Qrow praised, "Though you did catch her off guard."

Robyn smirked and relaxed. A voice came from behind her, "Hey, you found it! Nice going Robyn!"

"Ilia?" Blake aske as she recognized the voice.

"Hey," Neo nudged her, "We actually get to see some more of you here."

Ilia turned pink, "I hope it's not too embarrassing."

Robyn turned around to see Ilia Amitola standing there. She was wearing a metal headband with two green tassels and a yellow scarf. She also wore a green tube top with two blue belts holding it up, tan short-shorts with another loose, blue belt around her waist, white socks that reached about mid-thigh, orange shoes, and mesh sleeves on her arms that disappeared into orange, fingerless gloves with black bands constricting the ends. She had her hands on her hips.

Ilia flushed pink again.

"Hey, I like it," Neo smiled, "It gives off a sexy-ninja vibe!"

"Thanks…" Ilia started, still a little shocked any version of her would wear that.

"Still," Robyn sighed, "It looks like things are worse than we thought. A lot worse."

"Because she's inexperienced?" Nora rolled her eyes, "She can handle it. She's Ruby!"

"I have to admit though," Pyrrha added, "She could use some training."

Somewhere else, Weiss lay on the ground. Her eyes fluttered open and she took in her surroundings. She was on a small platform. All around her other platforms floated in the air. She was surrounded by waterfalls, but the water was flowing up.

"Okay," Weiss noted, "I don't know where I am, but it's definitely not Traverse Town."

"It's a little ominous, actually," Oscar noted.

Neptune was not paying any attention to them, "Why is it going up? Water doesn't do that! It can't do that!"

Sun rolled his eyes at his friend.

She stood up and stumbled, "Where am I?" she asked but no sound came out of her mouth.

"RUBY!" she silently yelled, "PYRRHA!"

"Well," Velvet noted, "We can't hear it, but I know she just called out for her friends."

"At least we know you're looking for me too," Ruby smiled at Weiss.

"That's good," Weiss sighed, "I was beginning to worry about my counterpart's intentions."

She sighed and looked down. Unknown to her, a figure in black robes with a green hand looked on.

"Who was that?" Summer asked.

"I don't know," Raven shook her head, "Maybe another person who doesn't exist? Too hard to tell without seeing their face."

In the back alley of Traverse Town, Winter and Qrow continued to look for Robyn.

"There's nobody here!" Qrow complained before switching to a teasing tone, "Sure is spooky!"

Adam rolled his eyes, "How are these two supposed to get anything done? All they do is tease each other."

"But we're still powerful," Qrow growled at the terrorist, "She's got magic now, remember?"

"Hmph!" Winter scoffed, "I'm not scared."

Right as she said this a hand touched her shoulder. She jumped into Qrow's arms in fright.

Summer couldn't help but laugh. As Winter sighed in embarrassment, Summer explained, "Sorry! That just reminded me of what happened in the first universe. Now it happened to you!"

Winter thought for a moment then conceded, "I'll admit it, that does seem like karma."

"Excuse me," the figure started kindly, "Did the Princess send you?"

Winter and Qrow turned around to see Summer Rose standing there smiling at them sweetly.

"Mom?" Ruby asked.

"Well, would you look at that Sum," Tai chuckled, "You know Blake too! And it looks like you're trying to help them out."

"I wonder if Ilia, Robyn, and Summer are all working together?" Ren wondered.

"That's a strange team up if it is," Harriet chuckled, "A dead warrior, the hero of Mantle, and an ex-terrorist? Throw Roman in too and I don't even know what type of team you have!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

AN: Hello! I don't have any updates on me, so I'll just get right to it.

Some of you may notice that I don't respond to your reviews. A quick repeat of something I said a long time ago. I don't respond to suggestions. I'll change that stance slightly now. I won't respond to suggestions for universes made through the reviews. You can still leave it and I'll see it, but don't expect a response. If you send it to me from now on via PM, I'll get back to you about it. It may not be what you want to hear, but I will respond.

Here we go:

Cybresamurai: Yep. I do have a connection to Jiminy for Penny planned. I agree, Sora is pretty OP. Just an observation, the silver eyes already kind of work like the power of friendship, don't they? As for the Nobody…Well, you'll just have to wait and see!

Aleyuma98: Yes I am using the final mix versions. However, when possible, I'm trying to use to OG color schemes for the Heartless as they were way better.

Eliphas-Chaos: Sorry I haven't gotten back to you. Check your PM's a little later for me.

StrongGuy159 and Bobbus the great: Glad you guys like it! I'll keep going, don't worry.

Mastergamer14: If you want my opinion, please message me.

Keeper of Worlds: I'll never tell…that is until they appear then I guess I told, huh?

Guest about Adam: Since I already said it, I will continue to say it, no he's not. I will not reveal the casting but Adam is not Axel.

Guest and Spectre: Without revealing too much, some will.

Sammykordy10: Please message if you want my opinion.

Kirito21naga: So, I have two reasons I won't do a trailer chapter. The first is because they are not movies in the story. They are fully separate universes, so the closest I'll get is making little jabs like Jaune noting that the intro feels like a video game tutorial. The second is because of something that happened with Old Wolf Logan. He posted a trailer chapter way back near the beginning of his story, and then everyone else decided to do those reactions. This way, I keep it close to the chest and don't have to worry about that. I do get where you're coming from though.

Casting reasons:

Cid Highwind: Roman Torchwick – Between the constant smoking (yes all who have only played Kingdom Hearts, that toothpick is supposed to be a cigarette) and Cid's attitude, Roman became a great choice for Cid. Also, I found it poetic that the person who started Ruby's journey in canon was also the first person she met on her journey in this universe.

Squall 'Leon' Leonheart: Robyn Hill - Stalwart Defender of her Hometown and Leader of a small Team which solely dedicates themselves to protecting their Home. Also both have a tendency to act rashly sometimes (Robyn Attacking Clover while escorting Tyrian and Leon attacking Sora without properly explaining Things. Really, Leon is strong enough for the "protect from Heartless" excuse to be paperthin.)

Yuffie Kisaragi: Ilia Amitola - Ilia is the closest to a Ninja which RWBY has, even Blake fights more upfront. Ilia on the Hand almost Always uses Stealth type attacks which makes her being Yuffie fit well. They also have a similar Body-type.

Aerith Gainsborough: Summer Rose – Kind, loving, willing to go off alone to try and stop something they don't know if they can stop. This is just too perfect of a casting.
