I feel more like I wrote a game than a story, the story is very similar to the elements of a game

I waited long enough and the votes for option 1 were more

But I think I explained part of option 1 wrongly

If you ask a lot, I will establish a relationship between Joker and Ruby, not because option 1 is selected (99% of the time I will not do this)

And those people who get stuck on my spelling mistakes or grammar mistakes

My language is the sixth most difficult language in the world and I must write the story with the help of Google Translate due to a series of personal problems such as taking too much time (we even write from right to left).

And Mr. That guy, I haven't seen anyone get a brain aneurysm because of spelling mistakes and grammatical mistakes. If you have a brain aneurysm, tell the doctor because I am not a doctor, I am an editor.


Ren Amamiya was sitting alone on a train and was staring at the snowy scene outside the train

"Do you think the rest of our friends are OK?" Morgana, pretending to be a domestic cat, asked Ren


[20 hours ago, Atlas, Frank Dupin mansion]

The flashlight of the cameras was brighter than the lighthouse. The voice of reporters was louder than the sound of the explosion. Everyone was waiting to see what happened to Frank Dupin.


[Beacon, Team RWBY dormitory]

Team RWBY and Team JNPR had arranged to watch the outcome of the Phantom Thieves announcement at Team RWBY's dormitory.

Eight chairs were arranged for eight people, the TV was on the news channel. However, there was no need to do this because all the TV channels broadcast live images from Dupin's mansion's front gate.

"Hurry up guys," Ruby said and then sat down on one of the chairs using her semblance.

The rest of the people in the room sat on the chairs and waited for the news.


[Beacon, Ozpin's Office]

Professor Ozpin was so focused on the news that he forgot to prepare a cup of coffee for himself.

Glynda, Bartholomew, and Peter were also in the office

"I still can't believe you believe such things," Glynda told the other Beacon professors.

"Miss Glynda if you don't believe in these things then why are you here with us watching the news?" Bartholomew asked Glynda with his usual speed

"I want to know more about the CCT hack," Glynda replied

"Hey, calm down, the interview is about to start," Peter said to the other two professors.


[somewhere deep in the forest]

"If I saw that announcement back then because of drinking too much, there shouldn't be news today," Qrow told himself

It might be interesting to know that Qrow hasn't had a drop of drink since morning to be in a normal state


[Vale, abandoned warehouse]

"The news of a few children is hotter than the news of the biggest dust thief," Roman said to himself while leaning on the chair.

"You still don't understand that fame is dangerous for a thief," a rough man's voice was heard from behind Roman

Roman turned his head and saw someone he did not expect to see.

"Adam Taurus, what makes one of the greatest leaders of the White Fang come here? You want to watch the news too?" Roman said

"Shut up Human, I just came to make sure of our contract" Adam replied

"No need to worry, as you can see the warehouse is filled from floor to ceiling with dust boxes, and several Atlesian Paladin-290s with the White Fang symbol have been prepared," Roman told Adam.

"If you've tricked me, it's not me you should be talking to, you should be talking to my sword," Adam said as he unsheathed part of his red sword.

"I don't think I want to do anything where I don't have a place to wear a hat anymore," said Roman, sweating profusely.

"Mr. Dupin..." The reporter's voice came from the Roman scroll


[screens]

Atlas police officers are holding back the crowd and reporters so that Frank can speak easily

Frank stood behind a microphone with tears running down his face.

"People of Remnant, I declare without further ado that every accusation leveled at me by the Phantom Thieves is true," Frank Dupin announced to the world as he burst into tears.

All the reporters were surprised and the whispering of the reporters sounded like the sound of a gun

"I used Faunus children, I sold them to labor camps, I made thousands of Faunus homeless with floods, it's all true," Frank announced again

Then Frank showed everyone a flash drive

"In this USB, all the information about children, brutal labor camps, and the head of those hard labor camps are recorded. I don't deserve people's forgiveness, and since I don't have an heir, I donate my family's wealth to charity. " Frank announced his last words. A few moments later, police officers entered the frame and handcuffed Frank Dupin, and took him away


[Roman and Adam]

"Wow, it's like a fairy tale," Roman said to Adam

"The Phantom Thieves must be found and destroyed as soon as possible," Adam said angrily

"I thought you were going to be happy," Roman said to Adam in surprise

"They are a big threat to White Fang, if you think about it, you will realize that they also have White Fang on their blacklist," Adam told Roman.

"Then I think you'll be happy to make a cooperation agreement. My boss has ordered me to kill the Phantom Thieves," Roman told Adam.


[Qrow]

"I'm pretty sure I didn't drink today, maybe I did and I don't remember," Qrow told himself

A few seconds later, a small rock hit Qrow in the head

"Ouch, who did that?" Qrow shouted angrily

"If you feel it, you're normal, my ever-drunk brother," Raven, Qrow's sister, and Yang's mother told Qrow from the shadows.

"Raven, the last person I expected to see," Qrow told Raven

"Did you see the news?" Raven asked

"I saw it, but I still can't believe it," Qrow replied

"I think Azpin would love to meet them," Raven said

"And what made you say such a thing?" Qrow asked

"The Phantom Thieves are a great choice to fight that woman, and besides, they seem to know about the Grimm leader," Raven told Qrow.

Qrow couldn't answer his sister

"Tell me about the spring maiden," Qrow asked

"Why do you care?" Raven asked Qrow sarcastically

"Because the Fall Maiden was attacked and half of her power was stolen," Qrow told Raven

"Do you think it's the work of the Phantom Thieves?" Raven asked Qrow

"Probably not because I saw the look of the assassins and they didn't look anything like any of the Phantom Thieves, but it's possible they worked together," Qrow replied to Raven.

"I'm trying to find them, they're probably dangerous to my clan," said Raven

"Good luck finding the phantoms," Qrow told his sister

Raven opened a portal and left Qrow, and Qrow headed for the Vale.


[Beacon Professors]

"Did I get drunk like Qrow?" Glynda said

"No Miss Glynda I assure you everything you saw was real," Peter told Glynda

"If they can change someone's personality, that means they can..." Ozpin thought to himself

"Professor Ozpin, I know what you're thinking right now, but asking a bunch of thieves to do that for us is a very bad idea," Glynda told Ozpin, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"But if they do, all the Remnant's problems will be solved," said Glynda Ozpin

"Even if I agree, General Ironwood will not accept them because of hacking the CCT," Glynda told Ozpin.

"I will convince General Ironwood, we must find the Phantom Thieves," Ozpin told Glynda.


[Team RWBY and Team JNPR]

"Wait, now Mr. Dupin has confessed to the crimes that the Phantom Thieves have accused him of?" Weiss said

"They also declared war against White Fang, could Sienna Khan be next?" Blake said

"I don't know what they did, but the power to change someone's personality is very dangerous, what if they use their power for other purposes?" Pyrrha said

"Are you saying that they can do something to turn Ren from a cold-blooded person to a warm-blooded person?" Nora asked Pyrrha

"What Pyrrha means is that they change people so that the power falls into their hands," Jaune told Nora.

"They did this right now, Mr. Dupin is one of the most unique people I have ever seen in my life and they stole his personality. What could be more evil than this?" Weiss told Team JNPR

"I don't know, maybe they'll do something like make Professor Azpin the head of the academy or convince the members of the Atlas Council to replace them," Jaune told Weiss.

"Stop saying those horrible things," Weiss told Jaune

While the others were arguing, Yang thought of something

"Ruby, do you think they can take the mother's... you know, right?" Yang asked Ruby

But Ruby did not react

"Ruby... Ruby... RUBY" Yang shouted

Ruby came out of the world of her thoughts

"I'm sorry Yang, it's just that every time I think about Phantom Thieves I remember a dream I had a few nights ago," Ruby said bored.

"What dream did you have?" Yang asked


[A few nights ago, Ruby Rose's dream]

When Ruby opened her eyes, she realized that she was in an armory. Every weapon she had seen or heard in her life was there.

"Yang, Blake, Weiss… is anyone here?" Ruby screams in fear

Ruby looked around a bit and then noticed an old man with a long nose and a big smile on his face. The old man was not alone, and a young blonde girl in a blue dress was next to him.

"Welcome to the velvet room Miss Rose," said the old man

"Who are you, where am I, and how did you..." Ruby asked the old man in surprise

"Please be quiet, let the master speak," the woman told Ruby

"Please calm down Lavenza, forgive my rudeness, Miss Rose, my name is Igor," Igor said to Ruby.

"Mr. Igor, how did I get here?" Ruby asked Igor

"The velvet room is somewhere between dream and reality," Igor told Ruby

"You mean I'm dreaming?" Ruby asked

"Do you believe in astrology?" Igor asked

"The truth is, I don't believe in astrology," Ruby answered

Igor put several cards face down on the table

"Your destiny has changed a lot, the events that were supposed to happen to you have all changed. In your new destiny, you need more power," Igor said while looking at the cards.

"More power?" Ruby said to herself in surprise

"We call this power the wild card, but I think in your world they call it the Joker card," Lavenza told Ruby.

"Am I going to get magical powers?" Ruby asked Lavenza eagerly

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the wild card is not a magical power, the power of the wild card comes from the connection and personality of the user," Lavenza answered Ruby.

A loud ringing sound suddenly spread throughout the armory

"Our time is up. Find the owner of the blue flame and unite with him as the owner of the rose flame," said Igor in his last words to Ruby.

Ruby went back to sleep and when she woke up again she found herself in Beacon Academy


[Team RWBY Dormitory]

"It was a really weird dream," Yang told her sister

"Maybe the leader of the Phantom Thieves owns the Blue Flame" Ruby told her older sister

"I've heard a lot of ridiculous things from you, but connecting the leader of a group of thieves to a world between dreams and reality is the most ridiculous of them all," Weiss told Ruby.

Ruby stopped talking and just stared at the TV in confusion


[Mementos, Atlas]

Joker had entered Mementos alone to ask the merchant something

"When I was in my world, the twins created a new persona by executing my personas, can you do something like that?" Joker asked the merchant

"Of course, I can do something like that, but in this world, we don't need to execute them to combine the personas," answered the merchant.

Then, with a snap, Merchant took himself and Joker to the front of a lake, half of which was black and the other half golden, in the middle of the lake was an ordinary big tree.

"Here the personas combine and a new persona will be born," Merchant told Joker

Joker summoned Nevermore and Beowolf and drowned Beowolf in the black half of the lake and Nevermore in the golden half of the lake.

When the two Persona drowned in the waters of the lake, golden and black streaks began to spread through the tree.

When the golden and black streaks covered the entire tree, the tree was consumed in a flash of light and a Beowolf with four Nevermore wings appeared.

Among the other features of the new Persona, we can mention the rows of sharp bones on the shoulders of the wings, along with the upper half of the crow's tip that was on the persona's head as a helmet.

"I'm Beomore, the deadly flying wolf, my mask will be yours" Beomore introduced himself to Joker and then entered Joker's mask.

"I hope you're happy with your new persona," Merchant told Joker

"Thanks, now I just need to combine the Lancer with the Cenitaur," Joker told the merchant

"I'm sorry, but the tree is broken, without the tree, you can't create a new persona," Merchant told Joker

"Why?" asked the Joker

"Trees exist in this world to create something new from something old, without a tree you cannot create something new," replied the merchant.

"When will the tree grow again?" asked the Joker

"A new tree will grow in a week," replied the merchant

"I'll see you next week then," said the Joker


[Phantom Thieves Hideout]

"That's great, we're famous again," Ryuji said

"I think you forgot our main goal, we were sent here to stop the Dark Queen," said Ren

"Ren is right, we weren't sent here to change people's hearts, we're here to defeat the Dark Queen, someone we don't even know the name of," Morgana said.

"What's the plan, Ren?" said Haru

"We must find the Eternal Warrior," Ren said

"You mean the Dark Queen's former love? He could be anyone," Yusuke said

"Not everyone. The Eternal Warrior's job is to stop the Dark Queen, and the only ones taking action against the Grimm are the Academies Headmasters in the Four Kingdoms," said Futaba.

"We should spread between the four kingdoms," said Ren

"I think I heard wrong, you said we should be spread between the four kingdoms?" said Ann

"That's exactly what I said, every Headmasters are great warriors, General Ironwood is the General of the Army, Leonardo the Lionheart is the Headmaster of Haven Academy, and the rest of the Headmasters are also great warriors. We need to spread to check them all," Ren said.

Everyone looked at Ren in surprise

"There are eight of us and we have four kingdoms, we should spread into teams of two," said Ren

"I was considering such a plan, that's why I prepared the best teaming. Ren and Morgana go to Vale because the Headmaster of Beacon Academy is very fond of coffee and a good coffee shop can attract his attention. Yusuke and Haru go to Mistral. The culture there is similar to Japan and you know more about ancient Japanese culture than anyone else, I'll stay in Atlas with Makato, and Ryuji and Ann will go to Vacuo" said Futaba.

"Does anyone here disagree?" Ren asked

...

"So no one disagrees," Ren said

"Futaba, where are we going to stay?" Makato asked

"Ren told me about a scientist who has a clinic, I want to stay there as a prentice," said Futaba

"What should we do about the house rent and the rest?" asked Haru

"I already sold the weapons we found in Mementos, enough to rent a small room like Ren's room for each of us," Ryuji said.

"Wait, where did you sell all those guns?" asked Ann

"The black market, I even sold the Dupin family crest," Ryuji replied

"Looks like everything is on track," said Haru

"There is only one thing left, and that is the disappearance of the Phantom Thieves from Atlas. If the world believes that the Phantom Thieves have been found and disappeared to save their lives, our work will be very easy," Yusuke said.

"Futaba, can you do something like that?" Ren asked

"I have a bad idea," said Futaba


[Atlas Academy, Ace Ops]

Ace Ops returned to their dorm after their investigation was fruitless.

Clover was lying on the bed when he realized he had received a new message

"Guys, get ready to go, one of the informants reported seeing suspicious activity in one of the food warehouses," Clover said.

"How soon," said Harriet


[Phantom Thieves Hideout]

"I'll explain the plan one last time, when Ace Ops enters here we activate the smoke bombs, after we disrupt Ace Ops we'll use the path under our feet to escape, once we're sure they notice us, We'll enter Mementos and escape. Remember under no circumstances to use Persona, Oracle is waiting for us in the underground passage, Got it?" Ren told the Phantom Thieves.

"Yes leader" all the Phantom Thieves shouted in unison

"Joker, they are here," Oracle announced

"Get ready," Joker ordered

Phantom thieves took several bags and pretended to go on a travel

Ace Ops break the warehouse door and enter

"Phantom Thieves nice to meet you, you're much younger than I thought," Clover told the Phantom Thieves.

"I expected to see a group of big thieves, but I only see a few kids here," said Elm

"If you're looking for a group of big thieves, come forward and I'll show you who is big," Skull told Elm

"You'll be sorry, kid," Elm said

As the Ace Ops moved forward a bit, the smoke bombs exploded and the entire room was filled with smoke.

The Phantom Thieves entered the underground passages according to the plan, but Clover, due to the luck caused by his semblance, accidentally stepped on a place that caused him to enter the underground passageways without anyone noticing.

"Just as planned," said the Panther

As the Phantom Thieves were running through the tunnels, Clover fell over their heads into the tunnel in front of the Phantom Thieves.

"I think I'm unlucky for my first time," Clover said to himself

When Clover looked around a little more, he realized that he was in front of the Phantom Thieves

"So lucky as always," said Clover

"It wasn't part of the plan," Fox said

"Clover is a symbol of luck, that's why your name is Clover because your semblance is luck," Joker said to Clover

"You're a smart guy," Clover said

"You go, I'll hold him off," Joker told the Phantom Thieves

"Can you beat him?" Queen asked

"Without Persona, probably not," said the Joker

"Then I will fight with you," said Mona

"Mona there's no need for this," Joker told Mona

"You and I are on the same team, we should be together," Mona told Joker

"Okay, the rest of you get out of here as fast as you can," Joker said

Phantom thieves, except Mona and Joker, moved toward the designated destination.

Clover tried to stop them, but Joker's shot stopped Clover.

"You are a worthy leader, maybe I was wrong about you, maybe," Clover said

Mona and Joker attack Clover. Joker unsheathed his sword and clashed with Clover. As Clover and Joker push each other, Mona shoots Clover from the left side. Clover released the fishing hook and Mona's bolt hit the hook and deflected towards the Joker.

Joker managed to dodge, but because he changed his movement mode, Clover managed to apply more force and push Joker. Clover managed to open Joker's guard and attack him, but Joker managed to dodge Clover's attack by bending to the left and then counterattacked. Clover blocked the blow and at that moment Mona attacked Clover from behind. Clover dodged Mona's attack but was attacked from behind again. Clover dodged or blocked the attacks, but the speed of the attacks put Clover under pressure.

Clover managed to dodge in time for the Joker's sword to collide with Mona's sword to open an escape route. Clover's escape path was opened and Clover escaped with a forward handspring.

"Okay, I admit I was wrong about you," Clover said panting

Joker and Mona rush toward Clover again


[Other members of Ace Ops]

"Those damn thieves," Elm shouted

"Where's the commander," Harriet asked

"Hush, listen, I hear the clash of swords," Marrow said

Then all the Ace Ops members looked down


[Joker and Mona vs. Clover]

Joker and Mona were still fighting Clover until they realized that Ace Ops had found the entrance to the underground passage.

"It's time Mona" Joker yelled

Joker and Mona backflip away from Clover.

Mona dropped a capsule filled with ice dust on the ground and Joker shot it.

When the capsule exploded, the path was blocked by an ice wall

"White Mask Boy, you are the leader of the Phantom Thieves, right?" Clover asked breathlessly

"Right," Joker replied

"What should I call someone who defeated me?" Clover asked

"Joker," Joker replied

"So prepare for a rematch, Joker, because I won't lose next time," Clover told Joker.

Joker didn't say anything and just ran towards the exit with Mona.

The rest of the Ace Ops members reach their commander. Clover, who was sitting on the ground from exhaustion, got up.

"We failed, time to go back," Clover told her group

"Sir, what happened?" Harriet asked

"Joker beat me," Clover replied

"Joker?!" Vine asked

"The leader of the Phantom Thieves, he was my equal without using aura, and he probably has a secret power that he doesn't want anyone to know about, I can't imagine how powerful he is," Clover said to his group with a laugh.

"Why are you happy about this, sir?" Marrow asked

"Because they may be outlaws but they are the defenders of the world, they are not bound by orders like we are," Clover replied

Ace Ops headed to Atlas Academy to report.


[Mementos, Atlas]

"Well this is where we have to spread, it feels weird," Ann said

"We've spread before, it's nothing new," Mona told Panther

"Last time only you and Ren left, but now we're all getting separated," Skull told Mona

"Calm down, this is going to be your hardest mission of the Phantom Thieves because we're not all together anymore, but that's no reason not to get together again," Queen said

"Queen is right," said Fox

The Phantom Thieves said goodbye to each other and each team went to their destination.


[present tense, Vale train]

"I'm sure they're all fine," Ren replied to Mona

It was almost midnight and Ren fell asleep from exhaustion and Morgana fell asleep on Ren's stomach


[velvet room]

Joker wakes up and realizes that he is in a velvet room, but the room looks more like a hideout than a prison.

As always, Igor was sitting in the middle of the room, but this time there was no girl next to him

"Welcome to the velvet room," said Igor

"Igor, I thought I wasn't going to see you again," Joker told Igor

"This may be the last time we see each other because I don't have enough powers in another world," said Igor

"Then what is so important that you arranged this meeting?" Joker asked

"Find the owner of the rose flames," said Igor


Well, this chapter is over and I hope no one got a brain aneurysm

Ruby's Persona and mask have been chosen, but I don't know where to get inspiration for Ruby's phantom thief costume

If you have an idea for Ruby's phantom thief costume, tell me (preferably historical, or Similar to Witcher costumes)
