*The security room has only one occupant. A woman, about twenty, with steel-gray hair, and red eyes. She has dark skin, and wears armor of green and gray color. Her hair is done in a ponytail. This is Ensign Melody Sustrai. The engineer aboard the Swift Retribution.*
Melody: Hey guys, I'm Melody! I'm the engineer aboard the Swift Retribution. And I'm here to say that from this point onward, I'll be taking Summer's place in the security room. Why? Well, Summer left to be reunited with Yang and Ruby. Also, at the end of the trailer, teams RWBY and JNPR, the readers will get the Guardian Forces of their others. Anyway, let's get started!
Just before Pyrrha opened the book and began to read, Tronmaster has something he wants to say.
"Pyrrha, before you start reading, I have a couple of things I need to say." Tronmaster said, everyone looking at him, waiting to continue.
"Alright first off, Yang Phoenix wanted me to tell you that although Sacred and Minotaur are technically two different beings, the are considered a single GF." Tronmaster said.
"Well, I feel silly." Yang said sheepishly.
"And second, Ruby, Yang, Qrow, Raven, I have a surprise for you four." Tronmaster said.
"A surprise for us?" Ruby asked.
"And Alicia, this extends to you as well." Tronmaster said to his girlfriend.
"Me?" Alicia asked, confused like Ruby.
"Summer, would you please com in here?" Tronmaster said.
"Wait, what?" Qrow asked, as the elevator doors opened.
"Hello, my little rose." Said the voice of someone no one I the room though they would hear. Especially five people in particular.
The reactions of Raven, Qrow, Yang, Alicia, and Ruby went something like this:
"Oh my..." Raven said, shocked.
"It can't be..." Qrow said, eyes wide in surprise.
"It is." Yang said, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Babe..." Alicia said, herself ready to cry.
"MOM!" Ruby said, crying, ad running towards her mother.
"It's good to see you Ruby." Summer said, hugging her daughter.
"Hey supermom." Yang said, crying and hugging her stepmother.
"Hello my sunny little dragon." Summer said to her stepdaughter.
"Hey Summer, how was the afterlife?" Qrow asked, both surprised and glad to see his old team leader again.
"Eh, it was nice, although I much prefer being alive." Summer said with a chuckle.
"Hey, Sum." Raven said.
Summer disengaged from the hug with her daughters, walked up to Raven, and slugged her in the jaw.
"Whoa!" Jaune said.
"Whoa nelly!" Nora said.
"Ahh!" Pyrrha screamed.
"Holy-!" Ren said, losing his cool for a moment.
"Good Lord!" Weiss and Winter said.
"Ouch." Blake said.
"Talk about your right hooks." Penny said, Glynda nodding in agreement.
"Jesus Christ!" Alicia said.
Raven could only look at her former teammate, and laugh, saying, "I guess I deserved that."
"Yep. But it is good to see you again Rae." Summer said, hugging her former teammate.
"Hey, grandma." Alicia said.
Summer turned to her granddaughter, smiling.
"Hello my other little rose." Summer said, smiling.
That's when Tronmaster said to Alicia, "Happy Anniversary Alicia."
"Aww, babe..." Alicia said, turning to her boyfriend, and hugging him.
"Alright, so here's the order for the reading now, after teams RWBY and JNPR, it's Penny, then Qrow, then Raven, Glynda, Winter, and finally, Summer, before going back to Ruby." Tronmaster said, everyone nodding in response.
After disengaging from her hug with Tronmaster, Alicia turned to Pyrrha saying, "Well Pyrrha, will you please begin reading?"
"Sure thing." Pyrrha said, as she began to read.
[Blake Belladonna: Age 17]
"Now, it's the kitty cat's turn." Yang said with a smirk, only for Blake to smack her in the back of the head.
"Goddammit Yang." Penny said.
Blake stood at the end of the train car to toward the front of the train as Adam cleaved in half at Atlesian Spider Droid.
"So that's why you were hesitant at talking so much about your past." Jaune said.
"Yep. You're watching the day I defected from the White Fang." Blake said.
"So, that's Adam?" Ruby said, Blake nodding.
"Are you ever going to explain how your timeline's Adam differs from our own?" Blake said.
"In short, Dad was actually pressured to accept the more violent ideology that the Fang was taking. By that conniving bastard Sienna Khan." Alicia said, anger in her voice.
Blake took a deep breath as she raised the cleaver portion of Gambol Shroud, "I'm sorry." Blake said before she cut the train car Adam was on free from the train itself.
"Considering what we know about what happens to us in a possible future, I think it's best if we get rid of Adam beforehand." Glynda said, everyone nodding in agreement.
Behind his mask Adam's eye's narrowed as he started to run towards Blake, intent on jumping to her and demanding an explanation for her action just then.
"Shit." Blake said.
"Damn, other versions of dad are all a bunch of obsessed creeps stalking their exes on Facebook." Alicia said, causing Tronmaster to laugh.
Blake's eye's widened as she took a step back upon seeing Adam's plan, she was cornered at the moment and jumping off the train right now would spell her end.
"Your untimely, extremely messy end." Penny said.
"It wouldn't be the first time that someone died on a train." Alicia said, referring to one of the timelines her and Tronmaster oversee.
Fortunately for the young cat Faunus a series of purple needles of energy started to shoot toward Adam from around him, causing a strange dark blue orb of energy filled with electrical volts running through it to appear around Adam's upper body, halting Adam in time it seemed and having his upper body still visible. The part of Adam in the orb suddenly expanded before shrinking down to smaller than it originally was before retuning to normal size and the orb shrinking away as Adam's upper body returned to normal.
"Huh, I'm guessing that this is Blake's Guardian Force?" Penny asked.
"Yep. And Weiss, if you thought that Pandemona was disturbing, you ain't seen nothing yet." Tronmaster said with a smirk.
Adam stumbled back from the jarring feeling, throwing off his momentum, of course by the time the orb had vanished the gap between the two cars had grown too large for him to jump across.
"Good." Blake said bitterly.
"Dam Aunt Blake, you really don't like dad, do you?" Alicia asked.
"Your timeline's Adam sounds more decent, so I'll reserve judgement on him." Blake replied, putting her goddaughter at ease.
"That was too close." Blake said sighing in relief, then she looked around the area, "But what was that?" She asked herself.
"I'm going to say that we're going to see Blake's Guardian Force." Nora said.
"I agree." Penny said.
Little did Blake, or anyone else on the train for that matter, know a demonic looking figure had watched the scene from the front of the train.
"A d-demon?" Raven asked fearfully.
"Oh shit, Raven's afraid of demons." Qrow asked.
"Ironic, considering that I never pegged Raven as the religious type." Alicia said.
"Demi spells, while not the most dangerous thing I can do it sure does draw out very long." The figure said, "Still though, the girl's already proven interesting."
"So, I've impressed a demonic-looking Guardian Force. Nice." Blake said, rolling her eyes.
"Fun fact, this GF in Final Fantasy VIII if I remember correctly, is entirely optional in his game of origin." Tronmaster said.
"Really?" Weiss asked, Alicia nodded in response.
The figure watched as Blake jumped off the train after it had left the Forever Falls, the figure smirked, and spread it's demonic wings before taking off, intent on following the girl.
And the group of White Fang that were in the area after Adam had sent out the news of Blake's desertion.
"Fuck. Of course Adam would do that. At least this timeline's Adam." Blake spat.
[OST-FF8: Never Look Back]
The music suddenly started, confusing the readers.
"Another Final Fantasy VIII song?" Penny asked.
"Seems like it." Winter replied.
Blake had noticed the three Fang's that had begun to follow her and decided it would be best to try and lose them in the forest, "I should have figured Adam would spread the word quickly." Blake said to herself as she ran into the green forest, "Adam doesn't waste a moment to send out a message to the White Fang."
"This is actually true. He doesn't waste time sending a message to his subordinates." Blake said.
"I guess that I inherited that from him." Alicia said.
"What did you inherit from me?" Ruby asked.
"Besides your looks, she inherited your love of sweets, and your obsession with weapons." Tronmaster said, Alicia nodding in agreement.
Blake sped through the forest with agility unmatched by a human, oddly enough no Grimm were present in the forest at the moment, not that Blake would care at the moment, in fact she's pretty sure she sped past a NEO Galbadian soldier taking a wizz by a tree.
This proceeded to cause a chorus of laughter from the readers.
"Good lord, this story has some perfect comedic timing." Jaune said, everyone else nodding in agreement.
If that's true then she should probably tell someone they might have a base stationed here... if she knew where 'here' was.
"If my memory serves me right, it's probably the Emerald Forest." Glynda said.
"Yeah, it does look like the Emerald Forest." Summer agreed.
Blake didn't stop running until her foot got caught on a vine.
"Wow, I know I have some bad luck, but that's just ridiculous." Qrow said.
"It's due to your Semblance right?" Alicia asked.
"Yeah, bad luck for me, and anyone around me." Qrow replied.
"I think I have a way of helping you train that Semblance of yours." Tronmaster said.
"Haah!" Blake cried out as she faceplanted against the dirt.
"Okay, I'll be honest, that was pretty hilarious." Blake said with a laugh.
"We all need to laugh at ourselves sometimes Aunt Blake." Alicia said.
"Now we've got you." One of the White Fang that was chasing her said as she lifted her sword to Blake's throat.
"I guess that means you're planning on killing me?" Blake asked.
"Would they?" Ren asked.
"Probably." Blake replied.
"Not immediately no." The Fang said, she was a izard Faunus of some sort given her tail, "Adam want's to give you the benefit of the doubt right now if you come quietly."
"I would never surrender willingly." Blake said.
Blake reached for Gambol Shroud, causing the three Fang's to shift the weapons into a more ready grip, "I'm just cutting the vine caught on my foot." Blake said motioning to the offending plant tangled around her foot.
"I guess, you could say-" Yang started to say.
"Aunt Yang, DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE!" Alicia said.
'ALICIA! WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE!" Summer shouted.
"Sorry grandma Summer." Alicia said sheepishly.
The three members of the White Fang nodded in understanding, as they lowered their weapons.
"I'm guessing that those three idiots are going to get their asses handed to them." Penny said.
"Probably." Pyrrha said.
Blake planned to quickly knock them out and run off again after she got her foot freed, however that plan was not needed after she had cut the vine.
"What caused my other to have that change of plans?" Blake asked.
"You'll see." Alicia said with a knowing smirk.
'What the-!?" one of the male members said as a dead Creep was thrown at him, knocking him out as he slammed head first into a tree.
"Oum, that's too funny." Penny said.
"Yep." Everyone agreed.
The demonic figure from the train dashed out of the shadows of the tree's the grab the other tow Fang's by the necks and slammed their heads together to knock them out.
"Damn, talk about effective." Qrow said.
"Yeah, he just went all Batman on their asses." Alicia said.
[End OST]
"Aww, the song's over." Nora pouted.
"Don't worry, you'll hear more of the music." Tronmaster said.
'Well, that wasn't too hard, even after being asleep for so long. "The Demonic figure said.
"Oh great, time to see what this GF looks like." Raven said, sweating slightly.
The figure looked like your classical demon, a red and black humanoid body with large, black, bat-like wing's on it's back with a face that almost looked like a mask with it's teeth revealed, and a long purplish tail extending from his spine.
"Good lord, there's the source of my nightmares for the next few months." Weiss said.
"I think he looks kind of cool." Pyrrha said, surprising everyone.
"Jesus Pyrrha, I don't get nightmares, and even I think he looks disturbing." Penny said.
Blake stood up slowly with Gambol Shroud at the ready, resulting in the figure to turn and look at her, "Ah here we are, the girl of the hour." The demon said clapping his hands slowly, "I must admit, I like your escape plan, so I decided I should help out by slowing the ugly guy down for you."
"Eh, mom always comments how handsome dad is." Alicia said.
"As deplorable as my timeline's Adam is, he's actually pretty handsome. So, his comment doesn't make sense." Blake said.
"Ugly?" Blake asked confused, behind his mask Adam was very ugly, in fact he was actually rather handsome to most members of the Fang and while Blake would admit he looked good, it didn't mean much to her.
She was more into girls.
"That part, is kind of true. I'm bisexual." Blake said.
"Funny enough Aunt Blake, in my timeline, you're bisexual. So is Aunt Weiss." Alicia said.
"That explains a lot actually." Weiss said under her breath.
"The guy wears a mask most of the time, so he's gotta be ugly under it otherwise he'd take the thing off once in a while." The Demon joked.
"Okay, I'm actually starting to like this guy." Raven said.
Blake raised an eyebrow as she shifted the katana of Gambol Shroud to it's pistol form and aimed it at the Demon.
"Are you always this cautious?" Winter asked Blake.
"Yep." The rest of team RWBY answered.
"You're all traitors." Blake said with a small laugh.
The demon sighed, "Oh what is it with you humans and faunus pointing your weapons at me?" it groaned, "What do you want to trust me? A gift? Here."
"Damn, he's pretty snarky, isn't he?" Yang said.
"Yang, watch your language young lady." Summer said sternly.
The demon held out a Triple Triad card to Blake whole slowly put the cleaver of her weapon on her back before taking the card just as slowly.
"I guess I really am that cautious." Blake said.
Blake raised an eyebrow in confusion as the demon had just given her a level 9 GF card that had it's face on it, Blake checked the name of the card.
"Time to learn his name." Glynda said.
"Diablos?" Blake asked.
"His name is Diablos?" Ruby asked.
"Seems like it." Penny replied.
"That's me." The demon, Diablos, said taking a bow, "Diablos the Guardian Force at our service madam."
"At least he's courteous." Winter said.
"So why did you help me?" Blake asked.
"To take you to the movies." Jaune joked.
"Why?" Diablos asked, "Because ten years ago some GF woke me up accidentally by junctioning with a human, or it could have been a faunus, either way someone woke me up and I've been wandering. During that time I've seen just how shitty this worlds become and it really needs some GF help... And I've also learned that I slept away eighty percent of my power."
"How in the holy mother of crap do you sleep away eighty percent of your power?" Ruby asked.
"How the hell should I know?" Alicia said.
"Eighty Percent?" Blake asked, "You slept so long you lost eighty percent of your power?"
"It's not as bad as the last time I went into a long term hibernation." Diablos said, "I was down ninety one percent last time I woke up."
"Dude really needs to work on his sleeping habits." Yang said.
"Yes, yes he does." Penny agreed.
Blake blinked twice, "You really need to work on your sleeping habits."
"Seriously." Everyone said.
"Yeah yeah I've heard it before." Diablos sighed before he held out his hand, "So, you gonna accept my power to aid yours?"
"He's straight to the point. I like him." Yang said, Raven nodding in agreement.
"Yeah, Diablos is the most blunt of the GFs." Alicia said.
Blake stared at the hand for a moment, "May as well, now that Adam is after me I'm going to need all the help I can." Blake said taking the hand.
"Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?" Tronmaster said, causing Alicia to laugh.
"What's so funny?" Jaune asked.
"He just, he just quoted Batman." Alicia said, still laughing.
A black glow surrounded Diablos before it flowed into Blake, causing her to gasp at the sudden sensation.
"As we've seen a million times." Yang said.
"Yang, don't complain." Summer said.
"Now then, let me tell you what I've granted you." Diablos said, "One of my most useful skills is the ability to help you understand the perfect way to mug someone."
"So basically, turning into Sun?" Yang said, only to get smacked by Bake, Ruby, and Summer
"What?" Blake asked taken aback by this.
"I'm with my other." Blake said.
Of course, as you strike your opponent you'll always fid the perfect change to lighten their pockets while they're distracted from your attack." Diablos said, "And I've given you knowledge of the ability Darkside, which at the cost of a mere Ten percent of your Aura, will allow you to do thrice the normal damage you do.
"That sounds both very useful, and extremely risky." Penny said.
"Yep." Everyone agreed.
"The cost of the attack put's me at risk though." Blake said.
Diablos shrugged, "That's why you Draw and stock spells to cast on yourself."
"Spells?" Blake asked.
"We know, she doesn't." Raven said.
"Yes, now that you are Junctioned with a Guardian Force you can Draw, Stock, and cast magic, making you much more dangerous a foe." Diablos said, "Of course if you're getting tired I can mask your presence to fifty percent of it's usual, of completely hide your presence."
"So, basically like hiding your power level like in Dragon Ball?" Yang asked.
"Pretty much, yeah." Tronmaster replied.
"I assuming that doesn't mean I can't walk in front of someone like I'm invisible though." Blake said.
"Nope, presence masking doesn't equal invisibility." Alicia said.
"Right, I'm only hiding your presence, not your body." Diablos said, "Now then how aboutI give you a ride to Vale?"
With that, the book closed itself.
"Alright, now, before Ren reads, I have another surprise." Tronmaster said later tuning to his com device, "Jenkins, bring them in."
Suddenly, the elevator doors opened to reveal Jenkins, and behind him were the Guardian Forces for both teams RWBY and JNPR.
"Wait, are those..." Weiss began, before Alicia continued.
"Yep, your Guardian Forces!" Alicia said.
"So, these eight are this universe's teams RWBY and JNPR?" Ifrit asked.
"No, ya think?" Shiva said sarcastically.
"Alright, that's enough." Quezacotl said.
"Quezacotl's right, let's just Junction with them." Alexander said.
"Fair enough." Diablos said.
With that, teams RWBY and JNPR junctioned with their Guardian Forces.
"Alright, Pyrrha, please pass the book to Ren." Alicia said, Pyrrha complying.
*Melody and Jenkins are now in the security room, playing Mario Kart 8. Jenkins is Waluigi, while Melody is Rosalina.*
Jenkins: Well, we're done with the trailers.
Melody: Yep, now I'm here in the security room.
Jenkins: And now, it's almost time to- BLUE SHELL! FUCK YOU DONKEY KONG YOU BANANA EATING FUCK!
