Volume 1 (Technically Season 1), Chapter 8: Players and...Salem!?

A/N: Um, I have to give you guys a quick warning. Remember all the way back in Chapter 1? In my first author's note? Yeah, the serious underlying plot started earlier than I intended in this Chapter, and it's dark, like, a certain character wants to kill herself dark. So be prepared for that.

Ah, Chapter 8.

...And, there's no Salem here with a witty comment.

"I can kill teenagers, and narrate at the same time"

Great! Do you have any witty comments?

"Nothing witty. Just a big ol' fuck you"

"Like, stop talking to the Fanfiction writer while you're trying to kill me!" Weiss yelled to Salem, dodging her purple flames.

Wait, what happened to Ruby? *Gasp* Did you kill her!?

"No, I managed to light her ass on fire and she jumped high into the air. Like some sort of cartoon character"

Oh, well...I'm gonna go check up on her.

"Wait, don't leave me Fanfiction writer!" Weiss pleaded.

Uh...I don't care about your problems.

"Wha- you insufferable motherfu-"

Blake, Yang, and soon to be Ruby

"Geez, let's grab an emerald before-"

"Your sister is falling from the sky. Meow meow" the bow headed girl informed Yang, interrupting her.

"WHAT!?"

Yang's head snapped upwards, and saw a screaming Ruby falling towards her with her butt engulfed in purple flames.

"Don't worry Ruby, I'll catch-" was all the blonde managed to get out before Ruby crashed into her.

Blake sprinted up to the sisters with concern, and asked, "Are you two okay? Meow meow"

Ms. Rose didn't answer. Instead she started dragging her butt across the ground like a dog, in an effort to put out her flaming behind. Leaving Yang in a small crater with swirling anime eyes.

"Ugh...seriously Ruby? Right in my tits" Yang muttered in pain, slowly getting up.

Ruby stopped her scooting, and got up as well. "I'm sorry Yang. I had just finished eating out Weiss' ass, then Salem appeared from a large purple fire, then she set my butt on fire, I jumped high up into the air, then I couldn't control where I was falling, and, and...you saw the rest"

"Woah, woah, woah! Who the hell is Salem!?"

"You ate out Weiss' ass!? Meow meow!"

"She appeared from a large purple fire!?"

"You ate out Weiss' ass!? Meow meow!"

"How did you jump that high!?"

"YOU ATE OUT WEISS' ASS!? MEOW MEOW!"

Both Ruby and Yang looked at Blake after her loud outburst. Which the cat girl visually responded to by blushing.

"Okay okay, first, Weiss and I are shipped together. Second, Salem used to be a voice in my head, but it turns out she's actually real, and is the main villain of our story. Third, I think purple fire is just her Semblance, or something" Ruby fully explained.

The bow headed girl dropped her head in sadness upon hearing that Weiss was shipped with Ruby, and not her. Ruby took note of this, and said, "Oh, don't be sad Blake. The Fanfiction writer said that we're all going to be on the same team together. Just me, Weiss, you, and Yang"

"Wait, Ruby, just stop talking for a second" Yang told her little sister. "You're going on about voices in your head, just like you were during the assembly (Chapter 3). For all I know, Salem could be a real person talking to you through your mind. But her being a villain, and a Fanfiction writer that knows we're going to form a team together? That sounds far fetched. Really far fetched"

I wouldn't say it's that far fetched. But I see where you're coming from.

"...Who-"

"WHO THE FUCK SAID THAT!? MEOW MEOW!?" Blake cursed aloud, rapidly looking around wide eyed.

"That's the Fanfiction writer" Ms. Rose told both teens.

"What!? B-but if he's a Fanfiction writer then that means..." Yang trailed off with a look of worry.

"That...that none of us are real" Blake finished, her tone more softer than usual.

"...Wow, I...never really thought of it like that" Ruby muttered, dropping to the ground. "Now I feel like...like nothing"

Aw, come on guys. Your lives still matter to the RWBY fans.

"My fans?" Ruby inquired.

No. Your team name RWBY, R-W-B-Y, is the title of your show. It focuses on you, Weiss, Blake, and Yang.

"Oh yeah? How many fans do we have?" Ms. Xiao Long questioned.

I would say millions because of how many views your episodes get on YouTube. But those are just views, and one person can rewatch videos many times. So I'm going to say thousands of fans.

"Wow, now I don't feel so meaningless" Ruby happily said, getting up.

Yeah, your fans adore all of you, and care very much about you. They might possibly go ballistic if one of you died in the canon of RWBY.

"I'm...actually feeling better. Meow meow" the bow headed girl admitted.

"Me too!" Yang added.

But, this is just some random Fanfiction on the internet. Which isn't canon to RWBY, so the fans won't care if you die, since, again, this story isn't canon. So your lives are just about as small as you first guessed.

All three girls got quite after hearing that, not knowing what to say. Who could blame them? They just found out their lives don't mean anything. Just fictional characters being used by a random guy on the internet for his amusement. Puppets tangled in the strings of a Puppeteer.

"Guys...I...I know this may sound bad, but look on the-" Ms. Rose was probably going to say something uplifting, but got cut off as Nora yelled out something.

"Oh boy! That was a nice quickie, Ren!" Nora obnoxiously shouted out, emerging from the treeline with Ren.

"Nora, please. Don't say stuff like that out loud" Mr. Lie told Nora in a furious whisper.

"Oops, sorry" the orange haired girl sheepishly apologized, rubbing the back of her head. She then saw team RBY on the circular stone temple floor. "Hey guys! Why do you all look sad? No, wait, depressed?"

"Nora, Ren, I...don't know how to say this" Yang started. "We aren't-"

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" both SpongeBob and Pyrrha screamed, also emerging from the treeline, still running from a Deathstalker.

"You've got to be kidding me. First we find out we aren't real, then witness Nora and Ren right after they had sex, and now there's a Deathstalker coming our way. Meow meow" the bow headed girl complained.

"FUCK! Can everybody chill the hell out for two seconds! I can't take all of this craziness at once!" the blonde shouted out to everybody.

Okay, I'll count. One...t-"

"EEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKK" Weiss screamed for her life, running towards the temple and straight into Blake's arms.

Checkmate, Monochrome, or whatever you want to call Blake x Weiss, fell to the ground. Weiss was on all fours on top of Blake, and both girls stared into each others eyes, not knowing what to say. Blake didn't know what to say because Weiss let Ruby eat out her ass. Then Weiss didn't know what to say because she let Ruby eat out her ass.

"Um...Weiss? What happen to Salem?" Red Riding Hood inquired the white haired girl.

Elsa instantly stood up shouting, "Oh shit!"

*FWOOOOSHHHHH!*

A part of the treeline got engulfed in purple flames as Salem's silhouette formed in the fire. She soon stepped out in all her evil glory, making the air around our protagonists have a final boss feel to it. The air had such a final boss feel to it, that lesser beings like the Deathstalker that was chasing SpongeBob and Pyrrha ran back to it's dwelling.

"At long last! Team RWBY and team SNPR (Sniper)!" Salem loudly addressed the two teams.

"What the fuck!? THAT'S Salem!?" Goldilocks questioned Ruby for confirmation.

"Yep" Ruby answered with a short reply.

"That's right you mere mortals! Your dark goddess Salem is here to kill you! None of you are anywhere near powerful enough to handle my sheer strength, wisdom, and magical prowess! For I control the darkness of this world, because I am the living embodiment of darkness, because I am supreme, I am omnipotent, I am your superior, I am your better, and I am just flat out cooler than you all! And THIS! This will be our first, and final ballad of death, because none of you can beat me! Yes, that's right! Emerald Forest will be your grave, and final resting place! Then I, the great and powerful Salem, will march to Beacon academy with an army of Grimm, and my closest subordinates to finally kill that silver haired bastard Ozpin! I will rip his beating heart out of his chest, poor the blood dripping from it in a chalice, and drink from it at a party, OF EVIL! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-

Uh...Salem?

"Shut up! Can't you see I'm monologuing like a true villain?" Salem hissed.

That's the problem...you're monologuing.

"What the hell are you..." the white haired witch trailed off when she noticed everybody was gone.

"WHERE THE HELL DID THEY GO!?"

The Grassy Area Just Before You Get to the Ancient Stone Ruins With Columns and Pillars (There's no actual name for this place)

All eight future Hunters, and Huntresses ran into the abandoned ruins of...whatever this place is called. With their respective emeralds in hand. Everything was going smoothly until Ruby halted in her tracks. Yang stopped first while everybody else did the same.

"Ruby, what are you doing? We have to get out of here!" the gauntlet wearing girl told her.

"No we don't! We can fight her!" Ruby argued.

"Like, hello? Remnant to Ru-bae! Did you not feel the air when Salem first popped up? She's totally final boss level tier" Weiss countered.

"Not to mention that we're only in training. Meow meow" Blake added.

Ms. Rose stomped her right foot on the ground, "So!? None of this is real, and isn't canon! We can do things that we aren't supposed to do early on in our show. Like fighting the embodiment of evil before we get initiated into Beacon!"

SpongeBob, Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren, looked at Ruby in confusion.

"Ruby...what are you talking about?" the Asian teen questioned.

"Yeah, you sound crazier than me! And that's saying something" Nora commented, putting her hands on her hips.

There was a short period of silence as the team RWBY members looked at each other with concern. Which Yang decided to break.

"Guys...I know this might be hard to believe, but...we...none of us...our entire world..." the blonde trailed off not knowing how to tell the four.

"We aren't real. Meow meow" Ms. Belladonna said bluntly.

"...DAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's a funny prank" SpongeBob laughed, wiping a single tear away.

"I must say that was indeed funny. We thought you four had something serious to say" Pyrrha jested in a chuckle.

The four main characters merely looked at team SNPR (Sniper) in disbelief as they erupted with laughter.

Wow, they really don't believe you.

An idea formed in Ruby's head, "Fanfiction writer, can you talk to them like you did with Weiss, Blake, and Yang!?"

Nope, only main characters can hear me...which is only you four by the way.

"Great, just great! We're the only ones who know the truth about our world, and there's nothing we can do about it! Meow meow!" the not Faunus screamed out in frustration.

"Blake, calm down" Elsa urged her.

"No! Our lives mean nothing in this Fanfiction, and when we tell people what we know, they'll think we're crazy, or take it as a joke! I mean, just look at those four! Meow meow!" Blake reasoned, pointing at team SNPR (Sniper). Said team stopped their laughing once they realized how serious Blake was.

"Woah, Blake. You seriously need to take a chill pill. Our situation may be...unusual to say the least. But just because we, and the world we live in isn't real, doesn't mean we can't live our life out to the fullest. We can still do everything we want to do. Like fighting Salem early in our story" Yang directed that last part of her little speech to Ruby, who gave her a smile.

"Grrr...YANG! Do you seriously not get it!? If the Fanfiction writer decides that he wants to kill us, it'll happen, and we won't be able to stop him! He could have us witness the most horrifying thing possible, torture us, make us kill our loved ones with our very hands, or-or something along those lines. Matter of fact, he could be controlling what we're saying right now! Aren't you!? Meow meow!"

Uhhhhh...

"I knew it. Meow meow" the bow headed girl muttered before falling to the ground in the fetal position, on the brink of tears.

"Blake..." Weiss trailed off in sadness upon seeing her crush so broken.

*FWOOOOSHHHHH!*

Once again, Salem emerged from a treeline engulfed in purple flames, walking towards the group of eight. "You think you're so clever, don't you? Running away while I'm monologuing. Well it won't happen again! This time, I will keep my speech short, always have my eyes on you all, and I won't do my evil laugh. So now team RWBY, and SNPR (Sniper), prepare to...why is Blake crying?"

Ruby glanced down at Blake for a second before replying, "We all found out that we're nothing more than non-canon versions of ourselves being used in a Fanfiction. Well, my team and I found out. Team SNPR (Sniper) doesn't believe us. We all took it pretty hard, but Blake took it the hardest"

"...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! My my, this is priceless! Blake learns the truth about her existence, and can't handle it! So now she's crying on the ground like an itty bitty wittle baby" Salem said that last part as if she was talking to an actual baby.

"Stop making fun of Blake, you total...witch bitch" Snow White snapped at the evil mastermind.

Salem's teasing attitude soon changed from cruelly teasing, to deadly serious as she glared at the white haired girl. She approached closer, fire forming in her hands, "Do you think insults will affect me you rich, snobby, Valley Girl?"

Everybody slowly backed away, drawing their weapons. But Blake slowly stood up with fresh tear marks on her face.

"S-Salem? Meow meow" Ms. Belladonna addressed the witch.

Salem stopped a few feet away from Blake, still having fire in her hands. "What?" she asked in a strange mix of anger and curiosity.

"Can you...can you just get this over with and kill me already? Meow meow" Blake asked, surprising everyone in the area.

"WHAT!?" everybody behind Blake shouted.

"You want me to kill you?" Salem inquired for confirmation.

"Yes. Meow meow" the bow headed girl replied.

"Why? Has the revelation of your life not meaning anything to anyone in the real world made you suicidal?" Salem questioned with a wicked smile.

"...Yes, especially since my life is in a Fanfiction. If I were the canon Blake, with thousands of fans who care about my well being, I might not be asking you this. But...I'm just some random, non-canon version of her. My life doesn't mean anything to them as long the true canon Blake is still alive. So..." Blake trailed off with tears steaming down her face. "Just kill me. Meow meow"

All the protagonists were shocked, and sadden to hear Blake say that. But Salem? Her already wicked smile turned into a sadistic grin of malice. Every saddened, depressed word that left Blake's mouth was music to her ears. The immense joy she got from hearing a team RWBY member wanting to die at her feet was unsettling. The added tears, and shocked expressions on everybody's face was icing on the cake to her.

"Heh, heh...what ever you say little kitty cat" Salem whispered to the Faunus. The purple fire emitting from Salem's hands turned into purple sparks of electricity. "Don't worry dear. You'll barely feel a thing" the witch stated calamitously.

Whelp, so long Blake. It was nice while it lasted.

"You're just going to let Salem kill Blake so easily?" Ozpin inquired.

Yeah, I don't see the problem with it. Having a main character die this early on will really shake things up.

"True, but you'll have a higher chance of your story ending prematurely" Oz revealed.

Uh...what are you talking about?

"It's a common rule for most stories. However, there are few exceptions, and this story is not one of them" the silver haired man explained.

Stop pussy footing around and tell me what this "rule" is.

"I'll try to explain it as clearly as possible" Oz started. "If all four members of team RWBY die, then your Fanfiction will come to a close. And before you ask, no. If only one, two, or three members die, and you resurrect them, their death will still count. So when the other team members who haven't died manage to die, your Fanfiction will end"

Bu- wha- wha- WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?

"You mean to tell me that I can have fun killing team RWBY, and get rewarded by having everything turn back to normal?" Salem questioned.

"That's right" Oz answered.

"Yes! Now stand still Blake. I have a story to end!" the main antagonist stated, gearing up for her electrical attack.

OH GOD DAMN IT FUCKING SHIT! QUICK! SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING! R-RUBY! GO KISS SALEM!

"Aye aye, captain!" Ruby obliged, doing a short salute before running up to Salem.

"Wait, you want her to-"

Salem got cut off as Ruby wrapped her arms around her, and started kissing her pale lips. The witch would've immediately throw Ruby off, but the new hormones her hentai dick (You forgot about it, didn't you?) gave her, actually made her start enjoying it. Until she remembered something...Ruby ate out Weiss' ass not too long ago.

Salem immediately pushed Ruby off and started spitting at the ground. "You disgusting little- *burp*, bitch! I can't believe you had the- *burp* fucking audacity to do that! *Burp* Oh fuck me! I CAN FUCKING TASTE IT!"

Even though throwing up on her enemy would give her an advantage. Salem had manners, and turned around to puke up her black sludge. The goo formed into a jet black ebony puddle, making the witnesses slightly gag. Except for Ruby and Nora, who found it interesting that Salem threw up black sludge. But Ren and SpongeBob almost threw up themselves.

Salem turned back around to face Ruby, slightly hunched over, grabbing her stomach with her left hand. "Y-you...damn- *burp* Silver Eyed Warrior! You're just like- *burp* your freak of a mother!"

"Wait...my mom?" Ruby asked of her.

The witch didn't reply. Instead she fell on her right side, clutching her abdomen with both hands, muttering to herself.

"Like...does this mean we won?" Weiss inquired of everybody, looking around.

Yang was about to say something, but a Bullhead came out of nowhere. Only seven protagonists looked up at it, while Blake took this moment to sneak away. The aircraft hovered right behind Salem, giving Ruby a front row seat to whatever was about to happen.

"Mom!" Cinder cried out after hopping out the Bullhead, still with an out of place shadow on her face.

"C-Cinder? What are- how did you know I was here?" Salem questioned her, confused as to how she knew to come here.

"Don't you remember? You cast a spell on us that let's us know when the other is in distress" Ms. Fall answered her "mother".

"...Why does that make sense?" the witch asked herself.

"Come on. I'll take you home" Cider stated, picking Salem up bridal style, jumping back up in the Bullhead.

"Wha- no! That's not fair! We beat her fair and square!" Ms. Xiao Long vehemently screamed up at the Bullhead. "Uh...no offense SpongeBob"

"None taken" the yellow square being replied.

Cinder gently sat Salem down in the Bullhead's passenger seat, and walked back to the aircraft's side entrance.

""We beat her fair and square?" Ruby did all the work. You didn't help at all. You sorry excuse for a sister. You're nothing more than a top heavy, blonde, temper tantrum having cow with abandonment issues" Cinder roasted Yang, literally setting her ablaze.

"DAYUM! She roasted you Yang!" Ms. Valkyrie pointed out with a huge smile.

"SHUT UP!" Yang yelled back, rolling on the ground to put out herself out.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! See you bitches later!" Cinder harshly bidded before getting in the Bullhead's driver seat and flying away.

The blonde bombshell finished rolling around, and got back up, still smoking a bit.

"Wait, where's Blake!?" Snow White shouted in fear of her crush running off to commit suicide.

"I would say we should look for her. But I think we're about to enter a scene change" Ruby said.

Yang grunted, "Are you fucking seri-"

Beacon's Auditorium

"Russel Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing, and Sky Lark" Ozpin addresses from the stage. The four assholes of Season 1 walked up to the stage. "The four of you retrieved the orange, and green Chaos Emeralds. From this day forward, you will work together as...Team CRDL, led by...Cardin Winchester"

The shadow audience applauded as team CRDL left the stage to go do what they do best in Season 1...be bullies.

"SpongeBob Squarepants, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos, and Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the yellow, and pink Chaos Emeralds. From this day forward, you will work together as...Team SNPR (Sniper)" Ozpin named them.

Again, the shadow audience gave their applause. "Led by...SpongeBob Squarepants" Oz revealed.

The kitchen sea sponge looked at the headmaster in disbelief. While Pyrrha picked him up and gave him a hug, squeezing Mr. Squarepants and making him squeak like a rubber ducky. The four team members left the stage, allowing team RWY to walk on stage.

"And finally: Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Bella-" Ozpin cut himself short after seeing Blake wasn't there. "Um...where is Ms. Belladonna?"

"She found out that we aren't real and ran away" Ruby replied.

"Possibly to commit suicide" Weiss muttered sadly.

Ozpin sighed, "She'll be back. So for the time being I'll still have her on your team"

"Now: Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long. The four of you retrieved the red, and white Chaos Emeralds. From this day forward, you will work together as...Team RWBY. Led by... Ruby Rose"

"Kinda saw that coming a mile away since the Fanfiction writer already told us our team was literally named after Ruby. Then there's the fact that you chose who was standing to the far right to be team leader" Yang pointed out.

"Like, what are you talking about?" Snow White questioned.

"Professor Ozpin only chose the students who were on the far right to be team leader. Well, our right, his left. The students standing in those spots were Cardin, SpongeBob, and Ruby" the blonde fully explained.

Everyone in the auditorium looked at Ozpin. Causing the silver haired man to give off a sly smile.

"Uh...you see...what had happened was..." the Professor trailed off, hoping for something to suddenly happen to change the subject. And something did. Sonic the Hedgehog ran on stage next to Ozpin.

"What's up Oz?" Sonic greeting the headmaster, giving him a fist-bump.

"Nothing much. I just enrolled twelve students who got all six Chaos Emeralds for you" Oz responded, letting the emeralds float around his body in a circle.

"Six? Dude, there's seven Chaos Emeralds" the hedgehog corrected.

"Huh? But weren't there six in your first video game?" Ozpin countered.

"Yeah, but there's been seven in total ever since the sequel" Sonic informed him.

"If that's true, then who has the-"

"OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!" Dr. Eggman laughed as he descended into Beacon's Auditorium (Note, the auditorium doesn't have a roof) in his Egg Mobile.

"Eggman!" Sonic shouted to egg themed mad scientist.

"That's right you pesky little pincushion. I, Dr. Eggman (Or Dr. Robotnik for you classic fans), have in my possession the last Chaos Emerald, that your dear friend Ozpin didn't collect. So with this emerald in hand, I will-"

*BANG!*

Yang, having enough of all this crazy shit for one day, shot the Egg Mobile down. Causing it to crash land in the middle of the auditorium, without hurting any of the shadow students.

"Uh...thanks!" the blue blur thanked.

"No problem" Ms. Xiao Long said, giving him a fist-bump.

Ozpin let out a chuckle, "It looks like things are shaping up to be an...interesting Fanfiction"

Some Random Warehouse

The smooth criminal know as Roman Torchwick stood in front of a map of Vale, observing it. He had certain areas circled, and crossed out, obviously planning something big. A few seconds later, some random White Fang member came in pushing a cart with a large container on it. Roman dug into his coat pocket, pulled out some lien, and handed it to the furry.

"Open it" the orange haired criminal ordered.

The White Fang member obeyed, and opened the container. Inside said container was...a whole bunch of cups filled slushies of many different colors and flavors.

Roman licked his lips upon seeing all the cold, frosty treats. "We're gonna need more men to enjoy these with"

At long last I'm done with that Emerald Forest Arc! I feel like I had those characters wandering around in there forever!

"OOOOooooOOOOOOOO...the pain"

Oh great, are you depressed again?

"I just vomited not too long ago, and you're going to ask me if I'm depressed? Really?"

I was just asking.

"I'm surprised this chapter turned out so dark. With Blake wanting Salem to kill her" Ozpin commented.

"I would've killed her to. If you hadn't made Ruby kiss me!"

By the way, what was that about Ruby being a freak like her mom?

"I don't know. The events that happened prior to your story are still a mystery to me. I only have a hazy memory of Summer Rose doing something to me in your canon"

...What?

"What Salem is trying to say, is that she has memories of what's canon to RWBY. And now new memories that are canon to your story are entering her mind. Almost as if she lived two separate lives" Oz explained.

So...Summer Rose did something to you? Weird.

"I'm pretty sure it had something to do with my dick. That much I'm certain"

Yeah, maybe, I dunno. Either way, I'm done writing for now. We'll continue this in future Chapters.

"What the fuck ever"

"Bye Felicia" Oz bid.

A/N: Okay, in case you missed it, Blake ran away, and Summer Rose used to be like Ruby (In more ways than one). Then Jaune...he's still training in Swallow Falls. Now, this chapter is a turning point for this story. The four main characters realizing they're not real is a plot point that I originally wanted to bring up later on in the story, but I brought it up earlier than I planned. There's also a second plot point with Summer Rose. She did something in the past which is affecting one of the characters. I'm not going to explain any further on that. You've gotten enough hints in this chapter already. Then you already knew I'm planning on having Jaune be OP as hell, but you don't know when I'll add him to the mix. Or if he'll be a good guy.

That about does it for now. I'm almost done watching Season 3, and so far both parts of "The Badge and the Burden" are the most boring episodes I've seen. So there's a HIGH chance I'll skip them in this story, and get straight into Spongedice. Oh, and here's a pre-warning to Spongedice. There's going to be psychological trauma for one of the characters. Yes, I know that's pretty dark, and to tell you the truth, said character didn't need to be punished that much. That's just what happens when you piss off someone's number one fan... oops, spoilers.

Update: The psychological trauma isn't what you think is. It's more or less someone watching the entire series of a certain show non-stop.
