Ruby's eyes fluttered open as she looked around. It was then she realized she had a facemask on and she was submerged in water. Before she could even scream, she heard a loud buzzing sound as the water drained out of the tube, she was in. The facemask released from her face allowing her to breathe as the hatch opened allowing her to stumble out right as the same time as her teammates who were just as confused. However, there was a more pressing matter in their clothes or lack of them.
"When I find the person, who stripped us and shoved us into tubes, I'm going to…" Yang said before being cut off by a new voice, "Thank him for regrowing your arm."
Yang looked to what should have been her robotic arm only to see flesh there once again. The source of that new voice walked wheeling a laundry cart with clothes. He was a dark African male about 5'10" and in his early twenties with black hair and brown eyes. He wore green wireless headphones around his neck, a striped white and black scarf, a blue shirt with a shattered moon on it under a black tattered trench coat with green endings, green belt with matching pants, and dark green boots. He carried a katana on his side and had a thunderbolt marking on his right eye.
"Mind explaining to us, why we're naked? And avert your eyes!" Weiss said covering herself up.
"Nothing I haven't seen on the net before." He said rolling his eyes. "Either way, you're naked before I had to shove you in the healing think. As you noticed, it's removed most of your injuries and fixed any lost body parts. Here, I did bring you some clothes. I'll explain everything outside."
He left the room and Team RWBY went for their clothes. However, they found it was their old clothes from their days in Beacon.
"Wait, what happened to our clothes that we were wearing?" Blake asked as they got dressed.
"At least, it's clothes. Even if it's a bit tight around the chest. Jeez, I really grew." Ruby said with a sigh.
"Personally, I'm just glad to have my arm back, but I do miss my robot…HOLY SHIT!" Yang said as her arm proceeded to transform.
He had poked his head in to say, "Oh right, I didn't get rid of your robot arm. I merged it so you have cybernetics at that arm. You're welcome."
"Ok, best of both worlds then." Yang said as the team exited the room fully dressed. "Now explanation please."
"Simple, really. Your universe was blown up because of Ozpin. Normally, it would be the end, but it was on my watch. So, I stepped in. Who am I? An oracle. Mirai Yoshi, the Dragonfruit Oracle. I watch over and manage worlds in the multiverse." Mirai explained as they walk down the hall to the living room. "You're one in a many of secernarios that could happen. You just got the shitty one."
"That's comforting." Blake said as he gestured for them to take a seat.
"Either way, I have to take care of a few things and check on the others I saved along with my own work. A college student's work is never done." Mirai said before tossing Ruby a remote. "You can entertain yourself with the holoviewer. Have fun."
Mirai left the room as Ruby turned it on to see a massive screen form on the wall with it lighting up to prompt a selection.
"So many channels…" Ruby said excitedly. "What should we watch first?"
"I'm surprised you're taking all this well." Blake remarked.
"Oh, trust me. I feel awful that we all had to die to beat Salem, but there was nothing we could really do. It's depressing, but I can't really break down now that it's over. It'd be like crying over spilled milk. Maybe we could ask him to put us all on a new universe better than our old one." Ruby said trying to comfort her teammates. "And if he can't, this place isn't so bad."
Yang, Weiss, and Blake could not help but feel a bit pretrubed at Ruby simply rolling with the punches, but Ruby, herself, just wanted to put up a brave face for the sake of her team. She explored before selecting the "The RWBYverse is Infinite collection" and found the motherlode.
"So, there's shorts and two side series. You guys want to pick, or we hit random?" Ruby asked.
"Random. I can't exactly pick something at the moment." Yang said.
"Might as well, when in Mistral." Weiss said rolling her eyes.
"Maybe there's a Ninjas of Love Universe?" Blake thought before nodded.
Ruby hit random and a title flashed up.
Cheeseburgers Can't Pay for Crack
"What kind of title is that?" Weiss asked confused.
"The kind that tells this isn't going to a happy one." Yang remarked.
The heat of Watts, California was normally unbearable for most and the ghettos of it was no exception. Adam Tarsus had walked down the swelter streets with a swagger in his step with his two homies Ilia and Sienna. They were all apart of the same street gang, the White Fang, who were beefing with another gang, the Red Sharks, for no real important reason. Adam wiped the sweat off his head as they walked towards the meeting point. Adam fluffed his black ProLaps jacket to ensure he looked good for his lady.
"Uh, Blake? Mind clearing up who the tiger lady?" Ruby asked.
"Sienna Khan. She was the leader of the White Fang, the main one. No idea what happened to her when Adam took over. Probably killed her." Blake said with a sigh.
"I don't think this is a world with Grimm in it." Weiss said. "But it looks repulsive."
"Adam looks like such a try-hard." Yang said rolling her eyes.
As they arrived at an alley behind a fence of someone's home, he spotted the person who dared to call him out here. The blonde former cultist looked to have seen better days. The blonde human was shaking and sweating having his sweat stain the brown crinkled paper bag he was holding
"Daniel." Adam said walking towards him. "My favorite human. What the fuck do you want?"
Sienna and Ilia stayed at the corner standing guard, and Sienna was in a hurry to leave.
"I want to get some rock." Daniel stammered.
"You got the money?" Adam asked.
Daniel faltered and Adam rolled his blue eyes under his mask.
"Adam's a drug dealer? Did they do that in the White Fang?" Weiss asked.
"We have to bolster our funds somehow. I'm not proud of it." Blake sniped.
"Among other things." Weiss thought.
"So, is it racist for Adam to say, "my favorite human" or not?" Yang asked as Blake shrugged.
"Fuck out of here, then." Adam said darkly about to walk away.
"Wait..wait! I got these cheeseburgers, double cheeseburgers, man. I'll trade them for some rock, man!" Daniel pleaded.
Adam's face soured as he said, "Blondie, I just ate! I don't want your motherfucking cheeseburgers."
"Plus those burgers look like they are on drugs." Weiss said disgusted.
"I could use some food." Ruby remarked only for a panel to open to reveal a snack bar.
Ruby put it on pause to rush over taking up the bowl of cookies and a bottle of whiskey putting them on the table before getting the glasses. The others made a grab for what they wanted as Ruby poured them all a glass.
"Should we really be drinking after we adominshed Qrow for it?" Yang asked.
"Meh." Ruby said downing her glass and unpausing the video.
Adam slowly walked away pointing if Daniel had no money then it was pointless to even reason with Adam. Daniel could backed off when Sienna screamed to hurry. Adam was feared throughout the neighborhood. He, Ilia, and his girlfriend, Blake, had been involved in a robbery of an elderly couple who ran a convenience store. Adam had shot the couple over simply being profiled leaving a shocked Ilia and Blake to be accessories to the fact. However, the pull for crack was strong for Daniel to degrade himself.
"By the gods, other me, what the shit?" Blake muttered.
"No, wait!" Daniel said grabbing Adam's shoulder. "I'll blow you! Please, just give me a rock to smoke!"
"If that Daniel guy wasn't so greasy and strung out, I would have called this hot." Yang said shaking her head. "But now it's just sad."
Adam twitched and turned around.
"The fuck you just did said, Blondie." Adam said darkly.
"I said I'll suck your dick…I'll even let you…" Daniel said before Adam's temper flared.
Mercilessly, Adam grabbed Daniel by the shoulder, pull out a pistol from his jacket, and shot Daniel in the crotch killing him instantaneously.
"Suck on that, you sperm gurgling twink!" Adam said coldly.
"First, rude. Second…that had to be hurt." Weiss said cringing from the gunshot.
"I don't even think my Adam would even do that." Blake said moritifed.
"What's a twink?" Ruby asked.
"Uhh…don't worry about it." Yang said trying to change the subject.
"Man, Adam, what the fuck man?" Ilia said disgusted with him.
"Damn it! Come on, let's go! I don't need to see the cops today!" Sienna said not even caring Daniel was bleeding out.
"Figures they'd say considering they hang around him." Weiss said rolling her eyes.
Adam took up the bag and held it up saying, "Any of you want a hamburger? You guys don't want a hamburger?"
"They're cheeseburgers, and second, you don't know where that's been." Yang said grossed out.
"Adam, what the hell man? I don't want no fucking hamburgers. You don't even know where that's been." Ilia said disgusted.
"What? I got it from that basehead." Adam said nonchalantly.
"Like then makes them safe to eat!" Ruby remarked.
Sienna shook her head and the three walked away. Adam tossed the bag which hit the dead Daniel's face before tumbling on the ground. A man was killed in broad daylight and nobody bothered to care. Who would in a place like this? He was just a lowly speck on the radar. Another murder nobody will bother to solve.
"Yeesh, what an ending." Blake said as the television prompted to tell them that this short had a sequel. "A sequel?"
"I don't think so." Weiss said shaking her head.
"Yeah, I want to pass on that as well. I really want to laugh…" Yang said siding with Weiss.
"Guess that's a vot…what's this?" Ruby said noting a notification blipped up for Mirai.
Curiously, she opened it up to see that it was an update for "The Villain Wrangler". With a title as much, Team RWBY expected a superhero team. What they got was something completely different. In another room, Mirai was checking on Jaune and Nora. It was a shame he could not recover Ren…fully intact.
"A true shame isn't it, Pyrrha?" Mirai said as the champion sighed. "At least you get most of your friends back."
"I endured having to watch volumes of all what I fought for go to shit. Frankly, I'm just glad I'm don't have to watch anymore." Pyrrha said dryly. "Open them up."
"They're bound for quite a scare." Mirai said hitting the button to release. "I give them 30 seconds before they realize that they're naked."
(A/N: I'm glad I choose to reboot this as it's now easier to manage. I'll make sure to rotate who reacts this time around. Either way, don't leave suggestions. The picks will be handled by yours truly as this little thing will be a rare occasion. Any reacts I'll do will be under the Displaced AU mark.)
