Update: Changed the day of the review episode it is set in for continuity.

In this third non-canon story, team RWBY had been at the RT Summer-Con and the day after, they were leaving, but unfortunately on the way down to the lobby in the elevator with Cinder, Salem and Raven, the elevator malfunctions as they have to watch and review on the horror movie M. Night Shyamalan-written story Devil until the elevator works again. However, a strange mystery is dealt to be solved during the review, and at the end of this story, a big surprise awaits the team RWBY at the lobby. (I root for the holy side honestly. Always love the holy side. :))

LAS VEGAS RT SUMMER-CON (MAY 31)

On the last day of their RT (Rooster Teeth) Summer-Con at Las Vegas (sometime after they visit Earth from Remnant with spaceship transport), team RWBY (Ruby, Yang, Blake and Weiss), have already left their room with their luggage at the first floor of the luxurious hotel, and Ruby pressed the button of the elevator, the four team members of RWBY going in the elevator.

Inside the elevator were Ruby, Yang, Blake, Weiss, Cinder, Raven (with her Grimm-like mask she's holding) and last but not least, Salem.

"This seems like a colorful group of characters to randomly be on an elevator with.", said Ruby.

Yang answers, "Of course. Not all the colors of the rainbow though, but some colors, yes."

"Not to mention, it was great for the Summer-Con. Summer is on the horizon, we had a lot of people to meet and greet, and best of all, spending time together-", Blake and Weiss mentioned.

The lights turn off in the elevator.

Salem sighs in the darkness, "Oh, great.", before the lights turn back on, the seven wondering what is going on.

"Hello, your elevator seems to be stuck, so your folks sit tight and we'll have you out soon.", the male intercom voice says.

Cinder complained, "Well, great. Now what do we do?"

"Anybody got any stories?", Ruby asks.

Cinder was about to say, "Well, actually...I-"

"How about you, mom?", Yang asks.

Raven answers, "Oh, I heard of a story."

"You heard of it?", Salem asks, serious and not excited, yet interested though.

Raven answers her, "In my spare time, I read stories and some books too. Well, it's about a bunch of people stuck in an elevator."

"Oh, we love it already.", Blake and Weiss sarcastically says, with Cinder, Ruby, Yang and Salem groaning a bit.

Raven continued the story she heard, "But one of them, is a killer. And so, the power is faulty, so every time the lights go out, the killer strikes!", as RWBY, Salem and Cinder listen to this. "So basically, the race is on to rescue a whole bunch of claustrophobic people trapped inside the elevator, before the lights go out again and the killer picks them off! One. By. One.", the other girls getting it.

"Yeah?", Cinder goes along with it.

Raven replies, "And the twist is..."

"Okay, that's really dumb with why stories like that have plot twists or twist endings, like the films that Shyamalan directed, yet you had this ingenious idea for a setup.", Ruby, Blake and Weiss interrupted.

Salem explained, "Building suspense and drama..."

"...downright Hitchcockian!", Cinder comments to Raven.

Yang tells her mom Raven, "And mom, you fuck it up by throwing in a twist so shocking for no reason!"

"But people may love plot twists...", supposed Raven.

Cinder talks back, "It doesn't matter if people love plot twists, it ruins the story!"

"And besides, it doesn't matter. They already did something like that story you just said in that strange movie, Devil. While M. Night Shyamalan only worked on the story, it has his fingerprints all over it. It's got the hokey acting, the hokey writing, the hokey twist, it's got every hokey thing but the hokey pokey.", said the intercom.

Salem comments about this smugly, "But to his credit, he does represent this very well."

"Oh, really? A guy who couldn't represent a Nickelodeon cartoon represents the most demonic force on Earth?", sarcastically replied Ruby to Salem, with Yang, Blake, Weiss and Raven agreeing, Cinder glaring at her.

The intercom then said, "Oh, I have an idea! While we're working on breaking you out, why don't I play the movie to keep you all entertained?"

"NOOOOOOO!", screamed team RWBY and Raven, Salem and Cinder thinks of this being thoughtful.

"Uh, I'm sorry, you cut out there, could you say that again?"

"NOOOOO!", the four RWBY members and Yang's mother Raven screamed again.

"Still didn't get it. Tell you what, go ahead and watch the movie until we can figure out a way to get you out."

Raven becomes devastated, Blake and Weiss sobbed, and Ruby and Yang look exasperated, while Salem and Cinder look content at this.

"We guess this is Devil!", Ruby, Yang, Blake and Weiss sourly introduced their review with Salem, Raven and Cinder.

Salem commented, grinning, "It's really not that bad."

RWBY's Commentary on Devil (Part 1)

"Anyway, so our film begins with a logo that reads The Night Chronicles and then the number one...?", Ruby summarized the beginning logo of The Night Chronicles.

Raven says, "Oh, yeah! I head of this. This is the first of series of films that Shyamalan was supposed to work on."

"Well, why aren't there more?", Salem asked.

Raven hesitates by giving a glaring look at Salem, who she then said, "Because the first one is called Devil."

"Oh...", Salem, Cinder, Ruby, Yang, Blake and Weiss get the point.

Yang nevertheless continued, "And because Shyamalan can never start a movie without important looking text, he's some important looking text.", as the next part of the opening says a text monologue on the screen, Blake reading;

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the Devil walks about like a raging lion, seeming whom he may devour.", read Blake.

Weiss answers for his girlfriend, "Ah, now this is especially essential. Without it, we don't even think we could draw out the conclusion THAT THE DEVIL IS BAD."

"Really?! All these days, and that's never come across?!", argued and sighed Salem. "I need to recruit more Republicans."

Ruby continued, "And just listen to how the music tries to scare you into what I guess is supposed to be a big reveal.", the next part of the opening having scary music and the city of New York upside down. "OH MY GOD, EVERYTHING'S UPSIDE-DOWN! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!", she screamed.

Devil

Yang says about this upside-down effect, "Oh, the possibilities this suggests! Like, maybe the projectionist passed out when he loaded the film reels!"

"We start with an opening narration from a security guard, once again reassuring us rightfully that the Devil sucks.", said Blake, the next part of the opening showing a janitor, and behind him a person suddenly fell onto the top of the truck, who the person had fell many stories high. and the janitor doesn't notice due to wearing earmuffs. "And so went the financier of The Last Airbender movie."

"We then cut to Detective Bowden, having a cup of coffee with his AA sponsor.", Weiss comments as the next scene shows two men at a bar, one being the detective, before a moment later in that part of the movie, she supposed, "Oh god, are we in another Stephen King story? I mean, the lead is a recovering drunk who will partake in a lame supernatural resolution, it is pretty damn similar!"

Ruby says in the next scene with the detective and another man investigating the site with the man who fell on the truck, "But they discover the truck that the man cannon-balled into earlier and try to figure out what happened.", before saying after a few moments of the investigation in the movie, "Well, thank God nobody on a busy street reported a bread truck with a dead guy embedded in it like Wile E. Coyote with a driver who seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth rolling backwards into oncoming traffic bouncing off cement blocks into a parking lot of somebody's store. Maybe they just thought it was the "bread-truck-with-a-dead-guy-embedded-in-it-like-Wile-E-Coyote-with-a-driver-who-seems-to-have-disappeared-off-the-face-of-the-earth-rolling-backwards-into-oncoming-traffic-bouncing-off-cement-blocks-into-a-parking-lot-of-somebody's-store man."

"That's good to know.", Raven points out.

Yang nods, "Thanks, mom.", the next scene showing one of the five important characters of the movie talking and is told to go in the elevator. "And we do mean, the elevator.", four of the main characters going in the elevator, and before it closed, someone stops the elevator door closing and joins in the elevator.

"So let's do a checklist of our cliched characters.", Blake and Weiss sort. "Awkward asshole named Vince, check. Crabby old lady named Jane, check. Tough black guy named Ben, check. Generic good-looking woman with little to no personality named Sarah, check. Generic good-looking man with little to no personality named Tony, check. I believe that's all of those people-"

Cinder included in the last moment, "All that's missing is the evil entity and the spiritually sensitive hispanic person!", the seven seeing a small clip of the hispanic security guard, before she, team RWBY, Raven and Salem all cheered for this correction. "Now we can get this party started!", she fistpumps, before twirling back in her position beside Raven, and accidentally hitting her on the face, who had quickly put on her Grimm-like mask to lessen the pain and prevent the hit at the time, and the next scene shows the elevator suddenly stopping.

"Alright everyone, stay calm. It's probably just the devil.", Ruby commented in this part, the security guards watching the footage, a full house with two queens (women) and three jacks (men), which confuses the seven girls watching this.

Raven questions, "Two women queens, three men jacks...who says that? Is this like poker? Now, I've had enough poker in Las Vegas for this holiday."

"Yeah, mom. We're guessing either lightning struck it, a person jumped, or it spontaneously exploded onto the street. Either way, we don't think it's worth calling the police over.", Yang said, replying to Raven at the beginning and guessing, the girls watching the scene when glass falls towards the ground, the detective saving his friend as the glass shattered. "Oh, hey! Is that the police down there? Don't worry, not needed."

Blake summarizes next, "The speakers are busted, so only the security team can talk to them and not they to the security team. This give obvious jackass Vince, plenty of time to be an obvious jackass.", the scene showing Vince saying to the other people in the elevator like a jerk. "Hey, come on, you try to make dialogue in a Shyamalan film sound natural!"

"Things don't help when we find out our security temp is claustrophobic, the maintenance guy can't fix the problem, and Awkward Mcjerkoff still thinks he needs to convince us that he can play a good asshole.", Weiss synopsized, the next part of the scene shows Vince giving Jane a card for Mattress Mania for after they would live after the elevator problem. "I also go door to door selling cars, life insurance, and any religion you're not a part of. Have I mentioned I'm the obnoxious guy?", the heiress then mocked Vince in the movie.

Ruby also supports Weiss and adds by mocking Vince in the movie, "I've also learned how to be as charming as a cactus on your gallbladder. With that said, might my humbleness interest you in a mattress? ...I'm the obnoxious guy!", before suddenly in that scene, the lights start flickering. "The lights start to flicker, until it's totally dark. When they come back on, we see someone has bit off more than they could chew.", described Yang, the lights turning back on in the movie to show a big bite on the woman's side.

"So, wait, the Devil BITES people?", Yang, Blake and Weiss ask, as Ruby, the three other team members, Raven and Cinder turn to Salem, who they were suspicious on the goddess.

Salem answered politely, "I suppose it was an awkward phase.", not intrigued toward the suspicious women. "Sometimes in my spare time, I try less seducing the lost and wretched, and...just try...biting them...once in a while. Rarely because of sexual needs."

"I know I entrusted you, Salem, but you have issues sometimes.", Cinder said.

The goddess Salem argued about her evil personality, "Well, I'M SOMETIMES INSIDIOUS LIKE THE DEVIL.", as RWBY rolled their eyes virtuously at this excuse.

"Oh, I think we get it. Maybe instead of the Devil being the traditional Devil we always think of, maybe it was always the Tazmanian Devil the whole time.", Ruby thought, causing herself, Yang, Blake and Weiss to laugh very hard, the next scene showing the security guards calling the police when seeing the footage.

Yang finished laughing, "So, they only NOW call the cops, strange seeing how they know someone jumped from the building so you'd assume that they'll be there already, and decide to check out the scene.", as the next scene shows the detective showing the person with him the building 333.

"Why is it 333 instead of the more obvious...you-know-what?", Blake said, the girls getting it and shuddering at the thought. "Well, seeing how Shyamalan only did the story, maybe it just counts for half the evil! Because no Shyamalan equals half the evil."

Weiss then says, "So, while they wait for the cops, our Hispanic guard thinks he saw something in the video footage.", as the next part of this scene shows the security guard Ramirez seeing something wrong in the footage, before it showed an evil face.

"Wait, so the Devil shows off head shots in security cameras?", Ruby asks, before, again, she, her friends Yang, Blake and Weiss, Raven and Cinder turn to Salem again suspiciously for an answer.

Salem excused in an annoyed and serious manner, "It's not uncommon! ...I don't have a profile, but I'm thinking of making pictures of myself during my past vacations, which would be a little awkwardly funny to use in the Paranormal Activity movies."

"O-kay...", Yang slowly said unsurely with her friends to Salem's mention, Raven and Cinder. "The lights go off again, only this time a mirror breaks, and one of the shards flies into Mr. Asshat, aka, Vince. Eh, to be fair, he is going out like his performance, a pain in the fucking neck!", she described the next scene afterwards.

Blake continued, "So, of course, there's only one explanation for all of this.", before watching the part when Ramirez supposed that one of the four remaining people is the Devil.

"Really? Just like that? Devil? We're not leaving open for more plausible options like the Great Pumpkin or the Spaghetti Monster?", asked Weiss sarcastically to this scene, in which Ramirez the security guard has called it The Devil's Meeting.

Ruby continued nonetheless, "But that's nothing, what proof does he have that the devil is near? Oho, turn up the volume for this one. Maximize the frame, draw your attention to the screen.", before she pulls herself, her sister Yang, her friends Blake and Weiss, Salem, Raven and Cinder closer to the screen a bit to examine the scene, saying to her friends, "No, get close, get close, really get close, this has to be seen and heard with the upmost clarity to be believed. Okay, movie. What's your proof?"

The movie then showed the scene when Ramirez has a piece of toast with jelly on it, tossed it in the air to test it, and lands...

Jelly. Side. Down.

"Yes. You just saw that.", Ruby and Yang said, which caused Blake, Weiss and Raven to groan, Cinder looked disgusted and unimpressed, and Salem bemused, who all resigned.

Blake explained, "The absolute proof to show that the Devil is near is taking a piece of toast, putting jelly on it, throwing it up in the air, and seeing if it lands jelly side down."

"...With all do respect. Writers, creators, makers of this movie...did you drink as a fetus?", asked Weissl, with Ruby, Yang, Blake, Salem, Raven and Cinder not impressed to the Jelly side down part of the movie.

Ruby agreed, "We don't know how you would accomplish that, but it's the only way we can comprehend writing this spectacularly stupid! Jelly side down, equals Devil. Are you fucking kidding me? Is this a tested method? One that's really valuable? Is this the method the Vatican uses? Do religious leaders all come together to test the Devil's arrival with pastry goods? I can't imagine what our team RWBY and JNPR would react to that if we're religious..."


In Ruby's imagination, we see Ruby, Yang, Blake and Weiss dressed as priestess nuns, with the team JNPR members Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha and Ren dressed as priests and nuns too, Ruby and Yang saying, "So, in conclusion to our weekly kitchen of demonic testing research, we have discovered that the cream in the coffee has swirled in the right direction, the chocolate icing on the donut was equally distributed, and the mustard in the ham sandwich on rye did not drip all the way to the floor. All that remains of course, is our beloved toast test.", she and Yang chuckled, the two sisters holding a piece of toast.

"And seeing how we've been doing this for 180 years and not once has it ever landed on the wrong side, we think we can all get ready to go while we perform this last one.", Blake and Weiss finish what Ruby and Yang were saying.

When Ruby and Yang then dropped the piece of toast much to the delight of Blake, Weiss and the team JNPR members watching, however, their luck changes.

It lands on the wrong side.

Ruby, Yang, Blake and Weiss' expressions turned from happy to scared in shock, Pyrrha, Nora, Jaune and Ren looking what happened at the toast landed on the wrong side. The four other members look at team RWBY, the four girls looking up at their friends, blurting;

"Jelly side down!"

Pyrrha, Nora, Jaune and Ren immediately started panicking due to this, the two nun-dressed girls screaming and running while the two priest-dressed boys used cross symbols, team RWBY yelling out, "JELLY SIDE DOWN!", before Jaune and Ren were punching each other in a panic while Pyrrha and Nora were humping and making love to each other in fright as they screamed.

The priestesses Ruby and Yang kissed their rosaries to stay holy while Blake and Weiss kissed each other in an emergency, the four yelling, "JELLY SIDE DOWN!", the four doing the same thing before Blake and Weiss top, panicking again, "JELLY SIDE DOWN!", we then see Pyrrha and Nora screaming while embracing and punching each other and Jaune and Ren still fighting each other, the four team RWBY members screaming in agony...


"Ruby...? Ruby...? Ruby!"

Ruby snaps out of her imagination, still in the stuck elevator with her sister Yang who was said this, Blake, Weiss, Salem, Raven and Cinder.

"Oh. Sorry. Just thinking about that jelly side down thing.", Ruby apologizes.

Yang nods and thanked, "That's okay. You're welcome."

"So as we were saying, the jelly side down, fucking ridiculous.", said Ruby.

Salem pointed out, grinning, "Actually, to be fair, the jelly side down isn't a bad one. It's just an ancient myth."

"Ah, bullcrap! Raven, do you have a piece of toast with jelly on it?", Cinder took this as an insult.

Raven answers, "Well, I was gonna eat this for my breakfast on the way down with jelly on it, so you can use it.", pulling out and giving Cinder the piece of toast with jelly on it that she kept for breakfast.

Cinder uses her pyrokinetic powers to toast it a bit more, before when Ruby, Yang, Blake, Weiss, Salem and Raven watch her drop it...

...it falls and suddenly screeches like a tire, slowing down to a halt in mid-air, which surprises the seven girls...

...flipping the piece of toast with jelly on it, landing on the ground, jelly side down.

"Seriously, Cinder?", Ruby sarcastically glares with the other women to Cinder.

Cinder sighs angrily, "Best out of three. Well, that's just fucking-"

The lights turn off.

"Oh, now what?", Ruby says in the darkness.

The lights turn back on, before Ruby, Yang, Blake, Weiss, Raven and Salem gasp in shock to see Cinder's dress and heels were the only remains on where she stood, as team RWBY and Raven then turn over to Salem, glaring at the goddess suspiciously.

Salem excused, "Oh, sure, just because I'm like the Devil, everyone assumes I did it. How do I know either of you did it? RWBY, you hate enemies like me and Cinder."

"Yeah, but we didn't have the urge to kill Cinder. Except if she was attacking us.", Ruby said.

Yang, Blake and Weiss says, "We agree with our friend here too."

"And Raven, you raid villages and fight enemies and Grimm just for fun. You could be just as guilty.", Salem evidences.

Raven told, "But me and my tribe only kill enemies and Grimm on Thursdays."

"Face it, girls, everyone is this elevator is a suspect...", RWBY nervously said, a dramatic sting heard.

The intercom suddenly asks, "Hey, are people killing one another in there?"

"Uh, no?", Yang, Blake and Weiss asked.

The intercom answers, "Stop that."

"Looks like the mystery is on our hands...", Ruby thought, the others look exasperated.

To be continued...
