Ok, this is going to be fun I can already tell. but yha good to see you all are enjoying this story and I would like to address something real quick... yha I am sorry for missing all the ruby roses in the last four prologues in the last "chapter" but I was working on that chapter late at night and I was so tired so of course I missed it but looking at it again I should have noticed it sooner. anyhow thanks for reading it and showing your support and giving your criticisms and I thank you all and DFTBA

CHAPTER 1 (S4DC)

Laying in a field of red and black roses...something not even the brightest of people would be able to do with no problem but these 7 were not most people...or are they were so at least now they are normal everyday folk laying in the sweet yet cold embrace of the snow turned roses littering the field and they would not care otherwise.

The location that they are laying in are the demons gardens the place where the just come to rest after and before a big test of fate, a place different depending on the people's deeds depending on there arcana's, a place where the dead comes to rest.

Any of these things would likely be considered for this group. Any would work. But it would never be have never died, their adventures are not over… and their arcanas were technically destroyed, broken, shattered, obliterated… nothing could bring them back after the outlet that was used to make them was shot in the head and killed and the other disappeared without a trace… or did he?

"Are these the ones you requested to go before the others sir?" said a woman standing on a path that led to the roses

"Yes," said Igor "under the grails totiage the never fully went through there retribution."

"I see. Well the there bodys are going to be difficult to retrieve since there lives there are still going on but it is possible to do but I do have a question." said the woman "where do we send them?"

"The place where the FOOL that gave Akira life in the first place," said Igor

"Where exactly was that again." said the woman

"REMNANT.," said Igor

"Yes sir." said the woman "and what time should we put them at?"

"The time where the rose's seed starts to bloom."

"Yes sir." said the woman writing something on a small piece of paper and soon giving it to him "all I need is your signature"

Igor took the paper before it suddenly turned blood red with a splash of yellow and blue and a hint of velvet

"Thank you kindly." said the woman "they will be there before she gets taken by the one that will make that world suffer."

"Thank you."

(THE VELVET ROOM 5/2/19 )

"Welcome back ruby," said Igor

"It is good to see you again at this hour." said ruby

"It is good to see you as well."

Suddenly another familiar guest appeared in the velvet room and it was Weiss

"Welcome back to the velvet room," said Igor

"Hello again Igor," said Wiess "how is your evening."

"Doing better than it was the last time."

And then another in the form of blake and soon after in the form of yang

"You must be wondering why I am calling you all here today," said Igor

"Is it about the group we are supposed to lead to there fate?" asked Blake

"Yes," said Igor "they, in fact, are listening in on this conversation right now."

"So long nose why can't we see a goddamn thing?" asked a voice in one of the cells

Turning to see who as talking it turned out to be a teenage male wearing a skull mask with the eyes apparently backed out for both sides of the conversation and he looked a bit like a thug with a black leather jacket and black leather biker pants with a spine leading up to the collar of the jacket and a small red scarf around his neck covering a small amount of dyed blond hair that reached down that far.

"That is something I would like to know as well." said another male voice this time deeper than the thuggish kid before him and it seemed to be more refined as well

Turning to him they could see a man with blue hair wearing a white fox mask wearing a black and white tight yet puffy suit that molded to his body but even then it felt like it was loose enough for him to move at great speeds and dangling just from the side was a fake fox tail attached to a belt

"Ah so you two are the first to awaken," said Igor

"It would seem so," said FOX

"And a bit of a question for you, why the hell are we back here again?" said SKULL

"That is something you must already know." said Igor "or your leader will."

"Could you not talk in riddles old man," said Skull "why the hell are we here if the cognitive world was blasted into oblivion after joker shot its treasure in the face."

"While you are not wrong you need to consider that this is not part of the cognitive world." said Igor "and that you and the rest of the phantom thieves are not done here yet.

"How so?"

"You have still yet to face your retrobution," said Igor

"All of us?"

"Yes." said Igor "the sun is about to rise soon you all better return to your slumber if you wish to complete your objective."

Skull visibly sneered at that comment but did so anyway going to the jail cell that was meant for him and laying in bed but not before flashing the middle finger to the long-nosed guardian.

"Then we shall be going." said fox before going over to his cell and laying down

"Thank you for your time here today," said Igor

(REMNANT THE CITY OF VALE 5/3/19 9:00 AM)

(OST 29 BENEATH THE MASK)

"MAKOTO!"

"ANN!"

"FUTABA!"

"RYUJI!"

"YOSKIA!"

"HARU!"

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS." shouted a young man walking among many other people

The man had messy black hair and glasses to cover his silver eyes and he wore a black shujin academy uniform and he had a small black bag on his shoulder. This is AKIRA KURUSU

"Well it was worth the try," Akira said to himself as he walked toward the docs of this highly futuristic city letting the wind carry through his hair as he sat down on one of the wooden beams that were there before taking out his phone

"No signal," said Akira "but yet they have some of the same songs and trends as we do."

He sat there for a bit thinking about where he was or if this was like a back to the future scenario where he was in the future instead of his own time but even with these thoughts it made Akira think more but about what he was told before he woke up.

(FLASHBACK THE VELVET ROOM BEGIN)

"Congratulations young trickster," said Igor "you have another chance for your retrobution."

"What do you mean Igor?" asked Akira

"Your journey is not over no matter how much you want it to be." said Igor "there is another place that calls for you and your friends."

"I see." said Akira "so you are talking in riddles even if there is not a god using your body."

"Why of course," said Igor

"Well no matter where you send is it will be close to Shibuya right," asked Akira

"No.," said Igor

"Then closer to home?" asked Akira

"Closer than you think," said Igor before all Akira could see was a flash fo velvet

(FLASHBACK END)

'Closer than you think… what does he mean by that' thought Akira before laying down on one of the logs near the docks to sleep until morning… but sleep would not overtake him for long because suddenly a potato sack was brought over his sleeping form waking him up almost instantaneously

"We're going to fetch some good praise from the boss." said a voice this one sounding male

"Oh hell yha." said another voice this one sounding female "Romans going to be so proud of us for this one."

"Wait for don't you have another mission Diana?" said the first voice

"Oh eff off I know that I have a job but I work for Sienna, not Adam," said Diana

"True but you are under his jurisdiction for now." said the voice "you must follow his orders."

"screw you, Goliath," said Diana

"screw you Diana." said Goliath

"Could you not talk while walking with my and living body in this uncomfortable bag," said Akira

"I thought you said he was asleep.," said Dianna

"Well I was but I am pretty sure that being tossed around by either a big guy or a tall woman in a bag can wake a guy up easily," said Akira

"Well eff off and try to go back to sleep.," said Diana "goliath hit him with it."

"On it," said Goliath before something poked Akira's neck and that was the last thing he felt before drifting off into a slight sleep coma.

(WHITE FANG RECRUITMENT AREA)

" ! $# %$## #$$&&%%^#%," said a voice as Akira was waking up "a n$ t%is is $ ^# professional proof of my undying fidelity to this cause."

Suddenly the thing shrouding his vision was relieved from his body to see an ocean of people with animalistic traits like extra appendages like ears, a tail or even wings for all of them and one man standing in front of him with sticking orange hair covered by a black top hat (oh you know who this is.).

"So is there a reason why I am here right now?" asked akira pure anger being seen on his face

"You sir are going to help me gain the trust of these fine people here," said ROMAN TORCHWICK

"Are you sure killing me is going to make them trust you," said Akira matter-a-factly

"Maybe but it won't hurt to try you know." said roman before pulling out a gun and soon after a gunshot fired off and the lights went off afterward

"Hold on we will get you out of here." said a voice seemingly male and he sounded suspiciously like Michael Jones from rooster teeth 'copyright be damned for this guys voice'

"Hurry up we have to go," said Blake

Suddenly they were bought out of the darkness in a sprint bursting through the warehouse upper-level floor door and jumping to another roof only for a giant mech to bust through the wall of one of the buildings

"HOLLY SHIT/CRAP!" shouted all three of them at the site of giant freakin robots

"I will draw the other one away!" said Akira

"Like hell, you will." said SUN WUKONG "you have no weapons on you."

"Well that can quickly be changed," said Akira

"Shut up I am trying to make a call."

"Make sure to ask for weaponry," said Akira

(one brisk run later. UNDER THE BRIDGE IN THAT ONE EPIC FIGHT FROM RWBY)

"Sorry I was late needed to get these over here as fast as possible." said ruby

"No harm in it." said yang before getting into battle stance "so what's the plan sis?"

"Divide and conquer." said ruby

(you know what that fight is you know full well how it goes.)

"As invigorating as that was maybe we should not create a giant mess next time you fight a giant robot," said Akira clapping as he walks toward them

"Like we could not." said Weiss "as you said it was a giant robot."

"True," said Akira

BANG

Suddenly Akira pushed Weiss aside, let the knife in his sleeve loose, grabbed it and burst into flames while blocking an obvious sniper shot from behind them

"What the hell." said all five of them (minus Akira)

"You know you should not try to shoot a lady." said JOKER "and if you do try to do so. I recommend don't do it while a gentleman thief is around."

"Holly shits that one-liner was horrendous." said yang astounded by both the new appearance of Akira's clothing "and plus what the hell happened to you?"

"Sorry, I am new to this."

"That is not what i/she asked." said team RWBY as they deadpanned at that

"What if that lady I intended to shoot would come out of it alive." said a voice that sounded strangely familiar

"Sorry I can't see you shrouded in darkness like that," said joker

"That was the point." said the figure walking out of the dark shroud that contained her revealing Diana in her full glory.

She was currently wearing a modified version of the white fang uniform but the hood was lazily flopping in the wind and the mask was off her face revealing her bright amber eyes almost covered by her blue hair and she had a black and blue with bits of green sniper rifle/ sword combo called king's knight in her hands.

"That is a fancy thing your able to do there kid." said Diana "is that your semblance."

"Maybe it is or maybe it is not." said joker "but I have one thing to ask."

"And what is that?" asked Diana

"What the hell is a semblance?" asked joker making everyone in the area to fall done in a comedic fashion.

"YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW!" shouted Weiss "THEN WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT YOU JUST DID THEN!"

"Oh I realized that there was a threat in the area and I decided to get ready for battle." said joker "though I did not think that my phantom thief outfit would materialize after what happened."

"So it was accidental." said Diana aiming her weapon at joker "good. then you won't be much of a problem for me to bring you in like the others were."

"I must say you really are naive to think that something like that will stop me for good." said joker

"Right." said Diana "so this is not the first time you have faced a fo from remnant."

"No you are the first but I don't care about that." said joker before putting his hand on his mask

"I care about how much your medical bills are going to be."

Suddenly Diana burst forward with impressive speed preparing for a big strike only to be suddenly stopped by blood splattering on her face only for it to turn into blue flames to gaze at the majesty before her, in fact, everyone present was gawking at what they were seeing.

"A thief meant to steal the hearts and treasures of the corrupted hearts… that is our mission." said joker "and with this, I send message to all who see our brilliant flame… those that have aligned with the master of Arsène Lupin and the leader of the phantom thieves hear me now your leader has returned!"

Behind joker was a giant demon-like man with a red and black color theme to him and he was currently being counseled by blue flames and chains blue chains wrapping around him with a magnificent grin sitting upon its face.

"Now then if you want to come at me. COME AT ME!" shouted Akira

oh boy, OH BOY that was fun and oh boy the one-liners lets say they were stupid but they were meant to be because I see joker giving his own two cents in the form of cheese one-liners but still being cocky and sweet and I like how that looks for joker because of course, he would it sounds he would do that once it comes to letting it slip and letting loose a one-liner or two. but even then i hope to see you guys next time DFTBA
