"Dear diary, it's been 6 months now. Sorry for not writing much, I'm still in the middle of finding out what to do. I'm so used to just barely have anything to get by, and now in front of me is a fully functional Fabricator. You know the feeling when you tried so hard to get something and suddenly the world just said 'fuck it' and gave it to you?"

"I know that feeling." - Tai nodded.

"Fuck you!" - Qrow cussed.

"Anyway, in the past month, I build somewhat a home for myself a roof to sleep in, endless solar energy, a small garden. Oh, and it underwater too."

The screen showed a large underwater base.

"That so cool." - Ruby's eyes sparkled.

"Ren-Ren, can fearless leader make one for us?" - Nora asked.

"Uhhh, Pyrrha?" - Ren looked at Pyrrha for help.

"Please! Please!" - Nora jumped into Pyrrha, gave her a puppy look.

"I'm sure Jaune will love to." - Pyrrha sweated bullet. Ren face-palmed.

"Why underwater? Because it looks cool."

"That not a good reason." - Weiss face-palmed.

"Now on to the serious stuff."

Everyone quieted down.

"I had scanned myself, and some other creature. The Kharaa Bacterium was mostly eradicated."

"Phew." - The audience relaxed.

"Here at least."

"Huh?"

"The essential part of the cure - Enzyme 42 is really hard to reproduce. It can only be produced by juvenile Sea Emperor Leviathans."

The screen showed a colossal creature and its children. They all had two striped antennae with glowing green lures atop and seven long, slim tentacles with a large club at the end.

"They look friendly" - Ruby awed at the elder one size.

"And their species take millenniums to reproduce and they are currently on verge of extinction."

"That's mean..." - Blake muttered.

"That last batch had basically saved this whole area. But without an alternative way to reproduce the enzym or make the cure duplicate itself, in a hundred years or so, the bacterium will resurface. Not to mention every place else most likely are infected."

"So there is no way to stop it?" - Nora asked.

"Not by himself, he must find a way to give the cure to experts for further research." - James said.

"And here is the really bad news, I figured out why no one came for the Aurora. I had looked into the captain log, apparently, the Aurora had a secret mission. A quick and simple one. It's also the reason why she was here in the first place."

"I don't get it." - Yang said.

"Those who gave the secret mission are covering up their track." - James explained. - "Most likely they made a fake report on the incident so no one investigated and come rescues the survivors."

"How could they!" - Ruby shouted.

"There's not much I can do, other than wait here. Might as well enjoy my new life here."

"Dear diary, it's been 6 months 14 days now. Did I ever tell you how cool the Seamoth is?"

The screen showed Jaune was fooling around with the Seamoth.

"That's pretty neat." - Coco admitted.

"It saved my bacon more time than I want to admit."

The screen showed Jaune was being chased by a Reaper Leviathan.

"That's awesome." - Nora cheered.

"I use it practically for everything now."

The screen showed Jaune used the Seamoth to move an inch.

"That's stupid." - Weiss face-palmed.

"Maybe a little too much."

"Anyway, my daily life now consisted of: I wake up, drive around on the Seamoth, checking for any sign of the Bacterium resurfacing, studying the local wildlife behavior, then come home and go to bed.

"Ah, Good time." - Oobleck said.

"I haven't tried to explore anywhere below 600 meters yet, according to the data index, there is some dangerous creature there. Can't wait to meet a real-life Ghost Leviathan."

The screen showed an enormous transparent creature. It has two long structures protruding from either side of its head and 12 yellow, bioluminescent eyes.

"It looks scary." - Ruby yelped.

"Fascinating." - Oobleck awed.

"I can see why it got that name." - Coco stunned.

"PS: Just so we clear, that's a joke."

"Dear diary, it's been 7 months now. Not much really changes, not many things to say. I guess I should describe some area I had visited."

"The Kelp Forest."

The screen showed an area filled with life. Many tall kelp-like plants are standing with each other resemble a forest.

"It's so lively." - Velvet said.

"So many fish." - Blake drooled.

"The forest basically made out of Creepvines. The tall plant thingy grows from the seabed. A few of them can even reach the ocean surface. The fauna here is mostly passive. Except for the Stalker."

The screen focused on a long smooth skin creature. Its head features a long snout similar to a crocodile.

"It still looks weird but not horrific like some other creature we have seen." - Coco said.

"They have some kind of fondness for metal, they often drag metal object back to their nest. They attacked my Seamoth before."

"That monster." - Ruby said dramatically.

"They not that bad though."

The screen showed Jaune gave a Stalker a fish and later it gave him a piece of metal back.

"That so cute." - Kali yelped.

"Mushroom Forest."

The screen showed a forest of tree-like mushrooms. In the middle, there is a giant one, spreading its roots throughout the entire area.

"Are they really mushrooms?" - Nora asked.

"I don't think so, they most likely a form of coral structure." - Oobleck answered.

"This place is somewhat safe, but right outside this area is the Reaper Leviathan's territory. So I recommend not to stay here for too long."

"Blood Kelp Zone."

"This place is the deepest I went to. The deeper you go the more freaky and vicious creatures become."

The screen showed a four-eyes creature attacking the Seamoth. It has a translucent, bulbous sac covered its main body and ten crab-like limbs.

"Ahhh." - Ruby hid under her hood.

"Kill it with fire." - Coco screamed.

"The Crabsquid isn't really the deadliest creature I had met, but it's certainly the ugliest looking, come straight out of a nightmare. And top of that, it knows how to fire EMP blast."

"How?" - James baffled.

"EMP?" - Yang puzzled.

"Electromagnetic Pulse, It's a short burst of electromagnetic energy that disruptive or damaging to high-tech equipment." - Penny explained.

"The last time I encountered a Crabsquid, it almost killed me. One blast and the Seamoth become a sitting duck. Luckily the Seamoth is sturdier than I thought. I managed to jump-start it back up and retreat."

"Thank Oum." - Ruby relived.

"But the thought of getting stuck at 800m in the dept without your only supply of oxygen and way to get back up is really haunting."

"Geez, that an image." - Qrow said.

"At least, he doesn't need to go back there-." - Ruby hopefully said.

"Don't jinx it, sis." - Yang closed Ruby's mouth.

Author clapped his hand getting everyone's attention.

"And that's it." - He said.

"Wait we still have 5 months left." - Pyrrha said.

"I know." - Author agreed. - "But Jaune doesn't write anything you guys interested in, mostly update on his research about the Bacterium."

"Then can I." - Oobleck asked.

"Sure." - Author tossed the diary to the doctor. - "But do keep in mind, Jaune really isn't a trained biologist."

The cinema screen suddenly turned red with a siren noise came out."

"Is that Jaune." - Pyrrha worried.

"Yeah, listen you all get some rest first." - Author calmed everyone down. - "You all will hear the news tomorrow morning."

"Wait, we can-" - Ruby spoke up.

"Seriously, get some rest first. I still need to tinker it somewhat to make it viewable." - Author rushed outside, left the audience behind.

Confession time: I ran out of the inspirations and ideas for this world. Sorry for not doing a full year. I realized that I have a good idea of how to write for 1 and 2 chapters then suddenly nothing, took a week to at least give it a proper end.

Anyway, the next chapter is about another Nightmare. But Jesus, that's a dark place I just went through. It's not you guys I'm worried about, but the RWBY cast and its effects on future viewing.

Basically, please give me an out for the mess I will bring this story into. :)
