"Ok, what the hell did I just watch? Some poorly made reality show?!" Yuki said exasperated.

All Yuki Azure wanted to do was bemoan the fact that his team was rejected from Haven Academy thanks to that prick Lionheart. Ivory discovered he had used their paperwork as overlay to allow three other students into Haven. The rest of the team had called Lionheart out on this only to be blacklisted and tossed. Yuki could remember the ashen-haired woman laughing at them telling them they would be never be huntsmen. They would remember Cinder Fall's words and it haunted them as they traveled to the Wilds merely slaughtering Grimm left and right. But it would call one night as they were taken up in beams of light. They would awaken in a room that seemed like a movie theater and the big screen in front of them. They were put to sit through the trailers, two volumes of another's story with bits and pieces of backstories for others involved leading to what Yuki asked in the first place. Yuki was drinking it in with his semblance reading it all.

"I can explain." A female said.

A short and petite woman with a youthful and pretty appearance having pinkish-red hair and pink/purple skin. She wore a pair of Potara earrings, baggy red pants, a dark grey Supreme Kai vest with red trimming slightly opened up to reveal a slim grey collared tank top, a pale red sash folded over her abdomen, a pair of high heeled boots, and a pair of bracers on her hands. Her pinkish hair draped down to her back.

"Yuki Azure, Kelly Usagi, Lapis Kristal, and Ivory Viridian. I've brought you here because it's clearly obvious that the destined four are woefully underprepared for the challenge. I only showed you the first parts, it gets worse. This is where you four come on as you four are….not so innocent and less privy to be manipulated by Ozpin or Salem." Chronoa explained.

"Add to the fact, that Ozpin is clearly stunting Ruby's potential by not explaining her silver eyes at well." Yuki muttered.

"I can't believe they let in a murder into Beacon." Kelly muttered with disgust.

"To be fair, Yuki and I have killed plenty. Mostly White Fang members…." Lapis said flatly.

"Yes, but you've only killed criminals, rapist, and pedos. Blake has blood of innocents." Kelly pointed out.

"Plus, she had a hand in your village's demise. I know that you, Yuki, have been seeking out the heads for the White Fang at the time. I can't do into details, but I can say she was involved on that day." Chronoa said sympathetically. "You'll get to go to her for details."

"I see she was Adam's right hand….and that's enough to warrant me wringing her for answers." Yuki said as Ivory supported him with a hand on his shoulder. "So where do we come in?"

"Simple, I'll splice you four, your histories, any enemies you made that aren't apart of "canon", and kill counts into a fresh timeline. I couldn't give your old timeline because Ozpin and Salem screwed it up too bad. Had I not recused you, you'd be destroyed." Chronoa mused.

"Ok, then, but when are we going to be dropped into the story?" Kelly asked.

"That will be up to you to decide. Originally, I planned to drop you in the heat of Volume 3, but I realized that's not needed as Yuki knows about the maidens, relics, and Salem already. Normally, you weren't supposed to meet Cinder and her goons early, but I got lucky. If I dropped you further, I'd have to show you more when would be pointless considering you won't be able to stop past issues. Thus, you have options. Either, you are dropped at the start of Volume 2 before the Breach, during it, or after it. Your choice." Chronoa explained.

"What about our allies and the future events you did not show us?" Yuki asked.

"Once they see you, it'll trigger the splice effect in full. They'll be slowly remembering you but seeing you will fully bring it to a head. As for the future events, you four will be getting flashes of the future "canon" timeline. They'll trigger at random depending on who you meet, and it will be in short bursts. It'd be up to her to handle them." Chronoa remarked.

"Let me guess, you're being cryptic because of the rules." Lapis said glaring at her.

"Hey, I have to put up with the Brother Gods who gladly love watching Ozpin and Salem fight and fuck each other!" Chronoa said exasperated. "This was the only way, I could circumvent them."

"Well, Team YUKI will accept your task." Yuki said with a bow.

"One last thing before you decide, whenever you enter the timeline. You would be just returning to Vale from Mistral. In this fresh timeline, you were in Anima taking care of some of your old enemies." Chronoa said. "So, when will you entering the timeline?"

Yuki and his teammates thought about it before making a decision that change everything.


(A/N: I finally got Team YUKI off the ground with their own pilot for a future fanfiction. Here's the deal, this one will get its own fanfiction instead of being in the collection. And as for the versions of Team YUKI in Cinder's Fall from Grace and in the Ruby shorts, just think of them as alternate counterparts. This project will have crossovers to fill the void of RWBY's worldbuilding yet custom villains to feed the rogues gallery. There will also be plenty of deconstruction going all around. As for the pairing, the ones above were the ones that I can completely assure that will be in the story considering Ren/Nora is planned, there's clearly something going on between Oz and Salem, and Qrow and Winter clearly have past. As for the other pairs, I won't be focusing on too many. As for any pairs for Team YUKI, I'll take suggestions. Plus, there is a poll for who people ship Yuki with. If the demand for this pilot to be a series is high enough, I'll do it. Do leave in your review, when should Team YUKI be spliced into the story. Thanks for all the support and expect more of me in the future to come.)
