Chapter 31

After Yang defeated the gigantic gym leader of Makoto City's gym, Sakoto, and earning the Ki Badge, Team RWBY spends the night at the nearest Pokemon Center. Which to them is a good thing since trainers stay for free. "Oh boy." Yang sighs as she falls back on her bed. "Today was something." "You can say that again." Blake then takes the bunk over Yang's, "Today was...something." "It really was." Ruby then starts to join the conversation while on the top bunk on the other side of the room, "First we went towards a desert, then a sunken temple-" "Library." Weiss corrected. "Library, right. Then a super muscular woman jumped in front of us that is the gym leader's sister. Then we met a BIGGER woman that is the gym leader, the giant heavy door, the death obstacle course, then the gym battle."

Yang smirked, "Yeah, well, I had some fun." "You forgot to mention that Yang destroyed the obstacle course." Blake pointed out. "HEY!" Ruby snicker a little while Weiss turns to face the wall away from Yang. "That thing cut my hair a little. I hate it when things cut my hair!" "That is pretty much anything that has cut your hair so far since we came to this world." Ruby added as she starts to sit and swings her legs. "By the way." Yang then starts to sound serious, "What do you think people are doing back home? We've been gone for a while."

Back on Remnant, some of the scientist from Atlas start to read many of the inscriptions on the temple walls. "This language is pretty easy." one of the scientist pointed out as he keeps scanning. "Yeah, because the bloody writing is letters with eyes. So far, this is the easiest job ever. Although, I wonder what are these...creatures. Some of them seem to shoot electricity, breath fire and ice, and some are...something that looks like semblances and aura." The scientist took a closer look at the drawings of the creatures and try to find out what they are.

"I don't know." the third scientist then talks, "But they aren't related to the Grimm. Nor are they animals, yet some have similar qualities." Then, something started to fly by in the shadows that caught in the corner of the eyes of one of the scientist. "What was that?" The second scientist turns to see what moved by. "Something wrong?" the third scientist asked. "I thought I saw something moved in the shadows." The third scientist leans and shines the light in the shadows, yet there is nothing there. "I don't see anything."

"There was something there. Hope it isn't Grimm." "Not likely." the first scientist said as he keeps on scanning, "Everyone searched this place from top to bottom and they haven't found any Grimm. Might be some birds or bats." "I hope so." The second scientist went back to work yet cautious about what he saw.

Back in the Pokemon World (Yes, I am calling it that), Team RWBY went out to get some capsules and capsule stickers for their pokeballs. Blake and Yang then start shopping for food supplies for the trip...and Yang has to carry everything. Ruby and Weiss, on the other hand, went around and see what is in the city. The city has a lot of exercising equipment, fitness programs, and everything that involves working out and training. "Man, this city is crazy about physical activities." Ruby said as she continues to look at the shopping windows. "Well, this city has a fighting-type gym and Sakoto is the role model."

Then they come across a playground where they see kids running laps while climbing up and down, getting to the slide as fast as they can. To be honest, this is more like they are doing an obstacle course than playing. "Even the kids are into it." "Like I said, Sakoto is a bit of a role model so it would make sense for kids to be like her." The two continue to walk down the sidewalk with Ruby having a thought. "I think Yang would like to live here." then she turns her gaze at Weiss, "What do you think?"

Weiss prefers not to answer and looks away.

Back on Remnant, Team CFVY then start to explore the temple on their own to find out how to get Team RWBY back. Coco leads the way with her weapon ready and a head lamp on her forehead. Fox is wearing some sort of camera that is place backwards and a lens on his right eye so he can see if anything is following them. "Um, Coco..." Velvet says nervously as they march on in the dark, "Are you sure about this?" "Yes, I am." Coco said in a stern tone as she carries her minigun at the ready.

"We have to find out how to save Ruby and the others. We have to explore every square inch that those scientists may have missed." Velvet then starts to look sad again until Yatsuhashi places his hand on her shoulder. Velvet turn her head and sees Yatsu smiling at her. Velvet smiles back and nodded. Team CFVY continue to walk down the narrow hallway for what felt like an hour or so until they reach some sort of chamber at the end. It is hard to see so everyone pulled out their scrolls to light up the chamber. What they see is more writings of this circular dome chamber with what looks like square vents at the top. But what is more interesting is that there is some sort of mirror with some sort of eldritch design frame. The mirror is 6 feet wide in diameter and 11 feet tall.

"What's with the mirror?" Fox asks after checking the place out. "Don't know." Coco answers as she looks at it. Then she takes a good look at her reflection, "Not sure about the design, but I look good!" The other three members have large sweat drops on the back of their heads as Coco poses in front of it. "What to you think, Yatsu?" Velvet asked. "Not exactly sure, but I have read stories that mirrors can be useful magically." he says as he puts away his sword. "Really?" Fox says then takes an interest. "Yeah, according to some tales. Like this one fairy tale about an evil queen who uses a mirror to seek advice or some information. Another story I heard involves using a mirror to see things over vast distances. Then there are a few that I do know that involves traveling, such as some form of teleportation, traveling to the mirror world where you meet your opposite self. Then the ones about going to another world."

Coco then looks at one of the inscriptions, tracing her finger on the eyed letters. However, one of the letters 'blinked'. "What the-?" she notices it until it blinked again. Coco screams and falls backwards as the letter popped out from the wall. Velvet, Yatsu, and Fox get their weapons ready when they see one of the living letters going "Unknown." right before most of the other letters come alive. "What the heck is going on?!" Fox screamed. The letters start swirling around at the mirror as they swirl faster and faster and faster before they get sucked right in. Then, a flash of light shone from the mirror as everyone covers their eyes during the flash.

"What do you think?" a familiar voice said as Team CFVY start to open their eyes. "I don't know, Yang. Do you think the pigtails are a little much?" says another familiar voice. "Wait." Coco then says after seeing the mirror, "Yang? Blake?" The mirror shows Yang and Blake somewhere that looks like a dressing room with Yang wearing a yellow dress while using her hands to make pigtails with her hair but Blake isn't sure while wearing her kimono. Team CFVY just stood there with eyes pop open and mouths gaping with Weiss and Ruby entering the scene. "Oh. My god." Velvet says in disbelief, "It's Team RWBY! Their alright!" Velvet is overjoyed that all the members of Team RWBY is alright and well.

"Yeah, but what are they doing? And in those really pretty outfits?" Yatsuhashi asked. Coco got on her scroll to call Ironwood, "General Ironwood, we found something!"

Back in the Pokemon World, Team RWBY are ready to tryout the Pokemon Contest for the first time in their new outfits. Ruby took a deep breath and tries to relax. "You okay, sis?" Yang asks, noticing Ruby is getting nervous. "Yeah...I think." Ruby said in an uncertain tone which is very noticeable. Blake places her hand on Ruby's back. "Just relax. Focus on the task at hand and you'll be alright." Blake then gives her a smile before Weiss puts her hand on Ruby's shoulder. "If you need help with crowds, talk to me for advice. I used to do concerts, remember? Talk to me when you're starting to get stage fright."

Ruby gives them both a confident smile then sighs in relief. Now she is brimming with confidence to do her best at the contest. Yang also gives her the thumbs up before Ruby starts saying, "Alright, let's do this!" "Ruby Rose, you're up!" Then Ruby gets nervous again with her face paler than before and her eyes are screaming 'HELP!' Weiss gives a disappointed sigh, "I'll give you advice on the way there."
