Hey guys! It's ya boi, RGQC with a new fic for all of you! As you can tell from the title and summary, this fic will have RWBY characters reacting to the story of StarCraft 2. Yes, the entire trilogy by yours truly. After all, I never seen anyone do a react-fic for StarCraft so how about I do it instead? Anyways this story is also a way for me to spin up my writing style a bit and also improve my grammar as a bonus.
So as usual, if you enjoy this story and want to see more of it, leave a review on your thoughts and also leave a favourite and follow as well. Also this story will be based on my gameplay of all the three parts of the trilogy.
Note, I am using this story as a way so I don't get burned out from my main story, A Shattered Soul. And also because I want to expand my content as well.

Prologue
Location: 'Error'
Time: 'Error'
Some say that gods exist. Or there is another higher being that watches over everyone in the whole world. Yet there is a place that time does not exist. A world where moderators watch the multiverse unfold and develop on its own. Beings that possess powers to change everything in a snap of a finger but their job is to ensure the stability of it.
Yet despite all that. The multiverse are unpredictable and portals occasionally appear by accident or purposely and connect entire worlds together. All while dragging it's locals to an entire new world. For better or worse. Sometimes the portals may sometimes connect it to the 'moderators' homes on accident though they are rare.
In most cases the locals are mindwiped and sent back to their world as if nothing had happened. It was a basic procedure. After all, all of them had experience in dealing with unwelcome guests entering their home. However occasionally these moderators (if kind enough) would show them a glimpse of the multiverse. After all. Moderators are beings that have been chosen for that role by fate and are given a big responsibility. Most go mad with power and are removed rather quickly (and painfully as punishment), others get used to their new purpose and watch the multiverse unfold with new purpose.
And that brings us to our main moderator.
"QAI. Report." The young man commanded his AI assistant as the alarm rang to alert him of a portal appearing soon.
[Projections indicate a portal appearing in 5 minutes. Multiple signatures detected inside the portal on approach. Five adults are detected alongside eight teenagers and One synthetic.] QAI spoke in a robotic voice in the house as the young man took out a tablet to read the origins of the portal.
"Hmm… So we got guests from Remnant eh? Pre fall of Beacon." The young man spoke with interest in his voice as he rubbed his chin.
[Affirmative] QAI responded back.
"QAI. Once they arrive, secure them and wait for my arrival. After that, I will decide what to do with them. If they have questions, answer them for me. They will be very confused and need some explanations. You have my permission to use the droids we have in storage for this occasion." The man gave his orders as the tablet in his hands disappeared.
[Affirmative] QAI complied as our young man disappeared in a flash of light.
Location: Unknown gardens.
It was then in which the portal appeared over a garden that had a central gathering point. A fountain could be seen made of marble and created in a way that would make the Atlesian rich jealous at its aesthetics. Square paved tiles could be seen surrounding it as nicely cut bushes lined against the roads. Trees that bloomed flowers could be seen all over the gardens all managed by the tireless workforce of worker androids that look humanoid with their artificial skin controlled by QAI directly. The most defining detail of the androids is the red circuitry on their left cheek.
All of a sudden, the portal appeared and glowed a bit as a large group of people appeared and fell and landed in the gardens. Most of them managed to land on their feets except for one of them who had another on top of him.
A group of colourful individuals could be seen as they all could only stand there in confusion as to what had happened for a while as androids ignored their presence and continued working on maintaining the garden.
For the first few seconds, no one made a move as all of them tried to process and figure out what had happened, and what the hell was going on.
To say that all of them were really confused and shocked is a ridiculously HUGE understatement.
And then the voices of confusion were made. And it gets chaotic as usual and expected.
"What?" "Wha-?" "How in the?!" "Uhhh…"
"Renny! Where are we? Are we dead?" "I-I don't know. But I know that we are not dead yet."
"Weiss!" "Winter!" "Friend Ruby!" "Penny!" "Nor-!" "Nora don't."
"O-Ozpin, What is going on!?" "Hmmm…" "C-Children. Please remain calm"
"Uncle Qrow?" "Uncle?" "Wha-? I must be drunk right?"
"YOU!" "Great… you are here." *pulls out canteen and took a gulp*
As the conversion gets even more chaotic, none of them even realise that a bunch of androids have entered the gardens and have a more armoured look to them while carrying electronic batons.
It did not take long for all of them to realise that they were surrounded by androids that just stare at them. Creepily. As if they are trying to get a read on them all. None of them know what to do even though they had their weapons with them. They are just too uncanny to all of them except Penny. Who just obviously smiled despite the situation.
"Whoever made these… things are more advanced than Atlas." Ironwood observed the androids as one of them began to walk towards them.
Seeing the android approaching them. All of them braced their weapons for a fight. The android then stopped when it noticed them tensing up and then spoke in a robotic voice that caught everyone's attention.
[All of you are to remain here. Any hostile actions will mark you for incapacitation until master arrives.]
Out of everyone who were too unnerved by the uncanniness of the androids. (They look exactly like humans. But everything else says that they are not) Ozpin was the first to recover first and looked around to see that, all of them were too unnerved to say anything. He then decides to be the voice of the group.
"Ahem. I presume our arrival was your master's doing right? My name is Ozpin, and you are?"
[QAI. Quantum Artificial Intelligence.] Now this was something no one expected. Quantum Artificial Intelligence? The hell is Quantum anyways? What even is Artificial Intelligence anyways? (Penny is a robot with a soul. She does not count.)
[And to answer your question. Negative. Master is not responsible for bringing you here. You may ask the master for more details when he arrives.] QAI says back as its body remains emotionless.
This earned an interested look from Ironwood and Winter. Whoever made QAI must be a master at making androids if he is able to make them look ridiculously human that it is disturbing. They must ask how they are made.
"Are you inhabiting that body?" Penny was next to ask due to her curiously if QAI is similar to her. As Ironwood gave a worried glance which no one noticed.
[No. This is just a shell. My primary mainframe is located 15,2 kilometres from here.] QAI continued to remain motionless as footsteps could be heard behind it.
[Master. You have arrived.] The android stepped aside as the young man walked towards them wearing a white shirt, a green hoodie jacket and black pants and golden black shoes. What's notable only to Ozpin was that the boy standing in front of them is much older than he looks.
"Thank you QAI, you may return to your duties. I will take it from here. Go and do designated task, five-nine-three-one-six." QAI's master ordered it as he glanced at the group who still remained silent.
They did not expect the boy in front of them to be the master of QAI. He is a looker too as well. Yet, there are questions to be answered. Just who is he and why are they here?
[Affirmative. Orders received.] QAI said as all the androids that were surrounding them break off and walk somewhere else.
"Now then I should introduce myself. I am RGQC and I welcome you to my home dimension between worlds." The boy introduced himself as he gave a formal bow.
Now everyone knows the name of the boy in front of them but it's strange. Who called themself RGQC? Also, dimensions? Worlds? What the hell did all of them got dragged off to? But not to Penny.
"Salutations! I am Penny! It is nice to meet you, Mr. RGQC."
"R-G-Q-C?" Says Ruby who tried to pronounce the name.
"Eh don't worry about it. Us moderators are forced to give up our original name. That's what I refer to as. By the way. I allow you to keep your weapons as long as you do not use it to harm anyone." RGQC waved off as he looked at them. Expecting answers.
"Moderators? What do you do? moderate worlds?" Yang sarcastically asked only to receive a smirk that says everything.
"Please tell me that you are kidding." Weiss was next to say. It is just absurd to her.
"Need an example?" RGQC smirked as he held his hand out as a miniature world of Remnant appeared in hand.
Ruby instantly zipped close to RGQC to see the miniature world of Remnant in his hand. "Whoa… Is that how Remnant looked like?" Ruby says in awe as the others were also surprised to see a miniature Remnant in his hand.
"Yup. Hold your hand out." RGQC requested as Ruby compiled.
RGQC then let the miniature Remnant off his hand as it floated over Ruby's palm as she then took it back to show everyone else.
"Are you a god?" Jaune then asked in awe as he looked at how Remnant actually looked like as Ruby showed them all it.
"Some consider us gods. But I was once a mortal myself so don't call me a god." RGQC explained as the miniature Remnant floated off Ruby's hand and back into his hand.
This earned a multitude of reactions from the group.
"Really?!"
"What weapons do you have?"
"Do you eat pancakes?"
"You were mortal?"
"Why are we here?"
Ozpin was conflicted about whether the being in front of them were stronger than the brother gods? Can he even trust him? It was obvious that the boy is much older than he lets on to be. He could be dangerous but he was once mortal. What does he mean by that?
"Ozpin can we trust him?" Ironwood then asks his friend.
"For now we follow him. I believe that he would give the answers we seek in time." That was a lie of course. He had no plans on how to deal with this confusing mess.
RGQC just stood there and waited until everyone quieted down before he spoke again. He then explained that they are in his personal dimension in which he oversees the entire multiverse to make sure its stability. He then explained how the world being connected via portals is a normal thing to happen though sometimes. It ends up dragging some of the locals as well. As for why they are here, it just appears that the portal took them and sent them here. Of course he can send them back but it would take time.
"So we are stuck here for now? But we have the Vytal Festival to complete back home!" Weiss then pointed out much to everyone's distress.
It was then in which QAI's voice was heard again. [Yes. However. Time flows differently in master's dimension. It moves slowly. Really slowly.]
"Then.. can we see the multiverse?" Ruby's response earned the looks of everyone which made her nervous.
"You know… there are no restrictions to preventing others from viewing the multiverse so… very well. You can watch the world with me." RGQC smiled as he then opened a portal to his personal theatre.
"Come we dont-"
[Alert!] QAI's voice rang which caused everyone to be confused much to RGQC's annoyance.
"What now?"
[The portal connecting Remnant to here is more unstable than expected. Data indicates that within the next few minutes or hours. More of Remnant's residents will be sent here.]
"Should we be worried?" Pyrrha was next to ask.
"Hmmm? No. Do not concern yourself about this. I will deal with it after I drop you off." RGQC said as he walked through the portal and into the amphitheatre and everyone else followed after him.
The amphitheatre room is rather large for its size and has more space that was necessary. It was then in which RGQC gave some instructions. "Ok first of all. If you need anything, just think about it and it should appear in front of you."
Once RGQC gave his first instruction. Ruby immediately thought of Cookies and it appeared right in front of her on a plate.
Blake got herself some fish ramen and began to hungrily look at it.
Yang got herself Strawberry Sunrise because she can. Might as well accept it.
Nora got herself some pancakes and began to happily devour it all.
Qrow got himself some alcohol to no one's surprise and to Winter's annoyance.
Ozpin then got himself a mug of hot chocolate as well.
While the rest did not order anything as of yet either due to mistrust (Ironwood, Winter and Glynda.) or they are not hungry at all. (Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren and Weiss.)
"Once in a while there will be breaks for you and bedrooms will be accommodated for all of you during your stay here. There is also a training room for all of you to use as well."
"I thank you for what you have done for us." Ozpin then said.
"Don't be. I'm just doing it because you all are not the first to accidentally enter my house, and you won't be the last." RGQC waved off.
"QAI, I want you to handle them until I come back. Till then, I want you to let all of them watch the StarCraft story.
"StarCraft? That sounds like a game." Yang mumbled out loudly as she received nods from her sister Ruby, Jaune, Ren and Nora. Oh yea, and Qrow as well.
[Query requested master. The trilogy? Or from the start?] The Ai asked his master who responded back.
"The Trilogy QAI. Also show them the story so far. It should help them understand the story better." RGQC explained as he walked through the portal to handle the issue.
[Affirmative master.] QAI acknowledged his masters commands before addressing the audience.
[As protocol demands. I will be your guide throughout this story that we are going to see until master returns. Notice for all. This story will contain violence, minable blood, use of alcohol and smoking as well. Viewer discretion is advised.]
"Should we be worried?" Weiss said as she glanced at her partner who was eating cookies.
"There goes Ruby's innocents." Yang muttered under her breath.
"Ruby then tilted her head with her cheeks stuffed with cookies. "Did you say something Yang?"
"Nothing."
"I hope she would be ok with this…" Blake muttered as well.
[Before we begin. You will be given a summary of what happened before the story began.]
"That's helpful." Qrow said as he took a gulp of his drink.
Author's notes.
And we are done. And we are done with the prologue of the start of RWBY watches StarCraft 2. Note this is a side project for me so that I won't get burned out writing the main story.
My main plan was to write this in my own free time or when I feel like it so don't expect to see uploads for this story as often as my main story. Also I intend to integrate dialogue into the story and try to fit it in a way that it makes sense to them.
Due to my first time writing a RWBY watch series, I am curious on how some of you guys would be willing to help me out in putting out the reactions of the characters.
Either way. If any of you guys want to see more of this work, leave a review, favourite and follow for me. I will respond to them always. So yea…
Until then, I will see you wonderful people in the next chapter soonish…
RGQC out!
