Awesome Ten-Tails here, I had been wanting to do this even before Izuku's Multiverse of Romance, Just didn't know how to go about it, but I was reading some RWBY watching the multiverse stories and this hit me. Unlike Izuku's Multiverse of Romance this story isn't going to focus on romance, but there will be some, it is after-all my favorite part of reading Fanfiction.
I do not own RWBY or any other things I use.
Enjoy!
Teams RWBY and JNPR are walking down the hall to have some team training between the two teams, when Ruby opens the door she stops. "Uhm, this is the training room, right?" Ruby asks.
"Yes it is, why Ruby?" Pyrrha asks.
"Well, there's a theater instead of the training room." Ruby says, and they all walk in and see it really is a theater.
"What is this?" Blake asks, but then they see her cat ears hidden by a bow twitch, and they all hear snoring. They follow the snoring, to the back of the theater to see a 'Fox Faunus' that seems to have several traits. "That's unheard of, a Faunus with multiple traits." She says really confused, it's a male he has curly brown hair with brown fox ears, whisker marks on both cheeks, and he has sharp canines, and ten brown fox tails, he's wearing a black polo, tucked into blue jeans with a brown belt, and blue and white sneakers.
"Does anyone else notice that this theater has no semblance of similarity to the rest of the school." Ren points out, and they take a look, and see he's right.
"Maybe we could ask this guy." Yang suggests, and smacks the 'Faunus' in the face, only for a tail to smash into her gut throwing her across the theater, and the 'Faunus' bolts up, and they see he has brown eyes with slitted pupils.
"I'm up!" He says, only to look at all the pointy objects pointed at him, plus a really big hammer. "Oh, so I'm in the RWBYverse, that's nice." He says calmly, and yawns, confusing them.
"What's your name, and what do you mean by the RWBYverse?!" Weiss asks with hostility, pointing Myrtenaster at him.
"You may call me Tails, and what I mean by RWBYverse, is the multiverse that oddly revolves around two of your own little group." Tails says completely calm, and flicks the edge of Myrtenaster, sending it into the ceiling. "I'd also appreciate it if you didn't point your weapons at me." He says, surprising them with the feat, and he goes over to a wall, snaps his fingers, and an entire gourmet buffet appears along with a slew of desserts, pancakes, and popcorn.
"Did you say Multiverse?" Blake asks.
"Yep, and my Multiversal Theater has chosen the eight of you to watch the different universes that revolve around either Ruby or Jaune." Tails says.
"But the Multiverse is just a theory." Pyrrha says.
"To you mortals maybe, but even to lesser gods like myself, it's a simple constant, plenty of us catalogue the different universes, for other gods to watch." Tails say, as one of his tails reaches up to myrtenaster, giving it back to Weiss, while another tail reaches over to Yang with smelling salts, waking her up.
"I hate people arrogant enough to call themselves a god." Pyrrha says, and they see him snap his fingers, and Ruby and Yang gasp, when Summer Rose appears.
"M-mom!?" Ruby and Yang say in tears, and the two of them run over to her.
"Ruby, Yang, you two have gotten so big." Summer says, crying as well, pulling the two into a hug.
"Is that godly enough for you?" Tails asks.
"How is that proof of anything?" Nora asks.
"Their mom died 13 years ago." Blake explains.
"Which means he brought someone back from the dead." Jaune says, while he and Pyrrha are wide eyed.
"So will you guys take the chance to watch the different universes that revolve around Ruby or Jaune?" Tails asks, catching their attention, and they see he's back in the seats. After a couple minutes, they've all got food and are sitting. "Alright, now a couple of warnings before we start, as you're about to watch the multiverse, you're going to see things that you'll think not possible, or that you may not like." He says and they nod, snapping his fingers, the screen comes to life.
The universe opens to Weiss, Blake, Yang, Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren, except they're five years older, eating at an outdoor restaurant in Vale. "So how's everyone doing?" Nora asks.
"Come on Nora, it's only been a month since we've all been together." Blake says.
"I know, just, it's nice when we can get together." Nora says, far more subdued than they thought they'd ever hear, and the group is similarly as subdued.
"I wonder what happened, to make everyone so downcast, and where am I?" Ruby asks.
"How, how's the search going?" Weiss sighs out, looking at Yang and Blake.
"Another dead end." Yang says, sadly.
"Have you figured out why she's been attacking the White Fang?" Ren asks.
"No!" Blake growls out.
"Geez, wonder what's got Blake so worked up… other than the obvious." Yang says.
"How are peace talks, with my father going?" Blake asks, looking at Pyrrha and Jaune, only to see Jaune glaring.
"What's wrong Vomit-Boy?" Yang asks.
"About that Blake, we might've figured out why she's attacking the White Fang." Pyrrha says.
"You did?" Yang asks.
"Ghirra found remnants of research notes, regarding an experiment to create super-soldiers, pushed by Vale-Branch Lieutenant Adam Taurus, 300 humans were kidnapped, and used as test subjects." Pyrrha says.
"I imagine she wouldn't approve, but why has she killed thousands of White Fang soldiers?" Blake asks, when Jaune slams a fist onto the table.
"Out of those 300 there was only one 'success', and this is their file!" Jaune snarls, dropping a file onto the table, and walking off.
"What's got him so worked up?" Yang asks.
"Just, just look at the file, you'll figure everything out, just like Jaune and I did." Pyrrha says, with a far more silent anger.
"What's in that file, that'd even make me that angry?" Pyrrha asks.
"You're about to find out." Tails says, sadly.
Yang and Blake open the file and there is a picture of Ruby, both the Yang on screen and the one in the theater, hairs immediately burst into flames and they're eyes turn red, while everyone else is silent in horror.
Test Subject #300, Name: Ruby Rose, Code Name: Athena, Final Report
Out of the 300 humans we tested the serum on, Athena was the only one to survive, weird considering she was the youngest. Doesn't matter, we know it'll work now. Strangely the entire time, we've been experimenting on her, she keeps muttering the names Jaune or Yang.
"She… she was waiting, hoping that we'd find and save her." Yang says, tearing up.
"Now I see why Jaune is so mad, we all know how close he and Ruby were." Blake says.
"Wait what?!" All of them say, except Summer, while Jaune and Ruby are blushing at the implication.
"Before you ask, no, this world's Jaune and Ruby were not in a relationship, though they were very close, and that's both implications. Though they did harbor feelings for each other, that they regret never confessing to each other, after she was kidnapped. Though one extra facet about this universe, is that Yang, Ruby and Jaune are actually childhood friends." Tails says.
The scene changes to a cliff overlooking all of Vale. sitting on the edge of the cliff is a girl that looks 15 she has black, neck-length, choppy hair that is also dark red at the tips, predatory, glowing, orange eyes and very pale skin, she's wearing a dark orange tank top under a black, midriff-length, open jacket with a protruding collar, black jeans, and black combat boots. Interestingly on her upper back, glowing bright orange through the jacket is an emblem of a rose. "I'll cut away everything and tear away everything, I'll cut away everything and tear away everything" They hear Ruby finish singing.
"I didn't know you sang, Ruby." Weiss says.
"I don't, I'm not really that good." Ruby says.
"Either this version is really good at singing, or you're not giving yourself enough credit, Sis." Yang says.
"Do you guys notice this world's version of us look like they've aged five years, except for Ruby who looks the exact same?" Blake asks, and they all nod.
Ruby gets up, and the world goes yellow. "Now where are you bastards hiding?" Ruby asks to the air, when a small part of the city ground turns orange. "There you fuckers are." She snarls.
"I hope you don't speak like that for real, honey." Summer says.
"No, she's very much like you in that respect, mom. There's even a swear jar in our team's room." Yang says, chuckling.
Ruby goes a ways into the forest, only to run back towards the cliff and jump, shooting into the air like a rocket, when she's over the orange part of the ground, she flicks her feet blasting herself down to the ground, and her body plates over with a smooth shell of black, crashing through the street. "What the hell?!" Jaune yells, whose not far from the crash. When he gets there, he sees a hole into the underground, and he hears screams of horror.
"Oh god it's her, it's Athena!" A White Fang member yells, and Jaune's eyes widen.
"It looks like this world's version of us are going to have a reunion." Ren says.
Jaune pulls his scroll out and activates an emergency signal that will alert the rest of the group, and show his location. After several minutes, the six of them run up. "What's going on?" Pyrrha asks.
"Just follow me, Ruby's down there." Jaune says, jumping into the hole, leaving them with wide eyes, Yang immediately jumps into the hole.
"Legitimately something I would do." Yang says.
After a minute the seven of them are walking through the hidden base, while Pyrrha, Ren, Nora, and Weiss are horrified by the corpses everywhere, not a single one being intact, being ripped apart, and blood splattered everywhere.
"No way, I… did this." Ruby says, horror-stricken, much like the others, except Tails.
Walking further in they come to a large open room, in the center surrounded by 10 White Fang soldiers, is Ruby. She rushes towards one, as her arms are amassed in a black, writhing substance and her fingers are turned into four long and very sharp blades, ripping the soldier apart. She jumps to the ceiling and bounces off, dropping and ripping another apart, she immediately swivels around kicking, another in the stomach blasting his insides out, through his back, leaping she rips two apart, the last five are huddled together in fear, and she pierces the ground with her claws, and a bed of spikes rip through the five.
"H-How, why would a version of me, do something like this?!" Ruby says curled into a ball and crying.
"It's the curse of experimentation, there are two common responses that living beings have when they're experimented on, fear of the ones who experimented on them, or engulfment by hatred, that's what happened to this version of you, after you lost hope of being saved." Tails explains.
Pulling her hand out of the ground the spikes recede, and her whole arms return to normal, Yang's about to say something. "What are you doing here, I told you and Blake to stop chasing me." Ruby says coldly, walking further into the base.
"You're not blindly killing, are you; you're trying to find Adam?" Jaune asks, and she stops.
"You're not going to stop me." Ruby says, as she turns around, all but Jaune are unsettled by her eyes.
"This is the result of the Super Soldier experiment?" Yang asks, holding the file, only for her to laugh darkly.
"Those mutts that experimented on me couldn't create a cure for the common cold, if it was staring them right in the face." Ruby says.
"What do you mean Ruby?" Blake asks.
"Those dipshits didn't make a Super Soldier Serum, they created a Bioweapon. I call it the Blacklight Virus." Ruby says, as her arms turn into the claws again.
"But not all of the White Fang had a hand in the experiment!" Blake yells.
"I know, do you think I just slaughter every single White Fang I run into, cause you're wrong, after-all, I haven't tried to kill you, have I." Ruby says, making her eyes widen.
"How do you…" Blake says.
"Oh come on Blake, do you think I'm an idiot, the White Fang is back in the control of your father, so of course you'd rejoin. Now, no I don't just kill every Fang member I run into, my rage at the White Fang subsided after two years. I give all bases I attack a chance to give me what I want, without killing, and they all squander it." Ruby says, looking over to a White Fang who is barely alive, and she walks over to him. "Blake, do you think I'm as bad as Adam?" She asks, and stomps on his head, crushing it, then orange and black tendrils meld out of her body and pierce the White Fang, ripping him apart and pulling the pieces into her.
"What the hell was that?!" Yang yells.
"That was just my Consumption Ability." Ruby says, nonchalantly.
"Consumption?" Nora asks.
"Every living thing I consume makes me stronger, I take their forms, their memories, and if I could still use Aura I'd probably be able to use their Semblances." Ruby says. "On that note, it looks like my next target is in Atlas's High-Security Prison." She says heading to leave.
"I'd like to see someone try to and break into Atlas's prison." Weiss says.
"Oh, breaking into a prison will be child's play for her, only question is how she'll do it, stealth or kill her way in." Tails says.
"Why is that?" Weiss asks.
"Sienna Kahn, she knows where Adam is." Ruby says.
"What do you mean, if you could still use Aura?" Jaune asks.
"Well, I'm not truly Ruby, or at least I don't think I am, every cell of my body is the Blacklight Virus, living Biomass." Ruby Says, as tendrils ripple across her whole body. "I have no soul, so naturally no Aura or Semblance." She says, starting to leave again.
"Wait, if, when you kill Adam, will, will you come back to us?" Jaune asks sadly, and she stops, then walks up to him, looking him in the eyes, she surprises them by pulling him into a kiss by his collar.
"I wish I could've done that 5 years ago, so it's a promise." She says, smiling.
The screen goes black, while WBY and NPR are shocked, Ruby and Jaune have full body blushes, Summer and Tails are laughing. "Looks like you've gotten your first taste, of my favorite aspect of watching the Multiverse, Pairings, and in this case you just saw Lancaster, the romantic pairing of Ruby and Jaune, and my personal favorite. I'll start the next world in a minute, but I'm going to bring one more person." Tails says, snapping his fingers, and Taiyang Xiao-Long appears.
Please read and review, and give some ideas, I can't promise that I'll use them, but It'll help me with not burning myself out.
