World 5-3: Slip, Slide, Faceplant!

BGM: Snowball Park (Super Mario 3D World)

"Okay, so we had our fun up here, but there's got to be some way to get off this mountain, right?" Weiss asked.

"I don't really see anything… I think that stupid Blizzaurus thing caused a blizzard up here or something." Yang said.

"Well, we should be able to find some way to get down without having to fall off a cliff or anything." Blake said.

"Normally, we just wait it out until it clears, then we keep ice climbing." Popo said as they wandered around, and then Ruby slipped on some ice.

"WHOOOOOA!" She yelled as she landed on her back. "Ow…"

"Sis! Are you okay?!" Yang asked.

"Yeah… just slipped on some ice…" Ruby groaned.

"Oh hey, it's clearing up." Nana said as it soon cleared up… and they saw a humongous ice slope to the bottom of the mountain.

"…Whoa." Ruby said as Blake noticed a sign and began reading it once she walked up to it.

"Welcome to the Icy Slope of Icicle Mountain! Here, you can enjoy a lot of fun by going down a very slippery slide of icy fun! Don't worry, there's a puffy mound of snow to cushion the landing… we hope."

"Sounds like fun." Yang said as they saw a Shy Guy walking up with a snowboard, then they noticed a Ski Lift not so far off as the Shy Guy proceeded to snowboard down it.

End BGM

"Are we just going to ignore the fact that the sign said 'we hope'?!" Weiss asked, and she was answered by Ruby jumping and sliding down.

BGM: Slide (Super Mario Galaxy 2)

"WAHOOOO!"

"AW YEEEEAAAAAH!" Yang went after her.

"WOOHOOOOOO!" The Ice Climbers yelled.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" Weiss yelled.

"Oh, lighten up and have a little fun." Blake said, patting her back hard enough to make Weiss lose her balance.

"WHOA, WHOA, WHOA…" She fell. "WHOOOOOOOO-OW!" She yelled, as she unfortunately faceplanted on the ice, but still slid. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Faunus coming through!" Blake said as she jumped down.

"WAHOOOOO!" Ruby screamed, moving back and forth and having fun, then she noticed a ramp that the Snowboarding Shy Guy jumped off of, so she positioned herself and then slid off the ramp. "WOOOOO!" She yelled, doing a few frontflips.

"YAHOOOO!" Yang was after her, doing a few side flips.

"AWESOOOOOOOOOME!" Both Ice Climbers yelled, jumping through and doing a few spins while high fiving each other.

"AAAAAAAAAH! I'M GONNA DIIIIIE!" Weiss… well… she was covering her eyes.

"WAHOOOO!" Blake, however, did several flips as they landed perfectly, and in their same positions as they kept sliding and then noticed a few half-pipes that the Snowboarding Shy Guy did, so they did just that, much to most of their enjoyment… and Weiss's terror.

It was then that they saw the finish line at the bottom where the puffy snow awaited them as one by one, they came to a slow, gentle stop.

However, in Weiss's case, she went through the snow and kept going… and then slammed into a tree. "Ow…" She muttered as she got up… and then the snow from the tree landed on top of her. "OOOOF!"

End BGM

"…See? I told you that the Icy Slope was still in use!" A Toad said.

"WELL, EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE ME, ICE T.!"

"Weiss!" Ruby ran over to Weiss and uncovered her. "You okay?"

"I am never… going on another slide… for as long as I live…"

"Yeah, she's okay." Ruby said as they proceeded to keep going forward… and right behind them, Neo came to a gentle stop on her feet… and then Roman basically did the same thing as Weiss did.

"…Those two must be related." Ice T. said, referring on how Weiss finished.

Roman got up. "Who puts a ramp and half pipes in the middle of a slope?! Honestly!" He exclaimed as he and Neo went forward… then the Toads heard screaming and the Koopa Bros… did the exact same thing, but hit multiple trees as well, and as they got back up, they were covered in snow and looking like snowmen.

"OKAY, THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS!" Red yelled.

"Who puts trees at the end of the slope?" Yellow wondered as they then noticed Nabbit coming down on skis and then came down, then making a hard turn and sending more snow to them, covering their heads in the process.

"Oh, now this is just cruel…" Green muttered.

"If someone sticks a carrot on my nose, I'm going to scream." Black said.

"Agreed." The others said, and then a Shy Guy came up, whistling to himself and put four carrot noses on the 'snowmen' and then walked away.

"…Please tell me that wasn't a carrot." Red said.

"I'm just going to pretend that I'm not having a carrot shoved up my nose…" Yellow muttered.

Back with RWBY…

"Whoa… now that's an ice castle." Ruby said, as they looked at the Ice Palace in front of them.

"…If I hear a woman singing how she feels about letting it go and saying 'the cold never bothers her', I am going to scream." Weiss said as they walked into the ice palace.

World 5-4: Frozen Palace

BGM: Crystal Palace Crawl (Paper Mario)

"Anyone else creeped out?" Nana asked.

"Yikes… this is quite… something." Yang said as they walked around, seeing their reflections on the walls as they proceeded to go up some ice stairs while taking care of some White Clubbas and proceeded to keep going.

"Who in the right mind would live here?" Blake asked.

"Some psycho, that's what." Weiss said as they walked around some more and getting rid of some Grimm that was roaming the palace as well, until eventually, they came to the last door.

"You ready?" Ruby asked.

"Yep." Yang nodded as they proceeded to walk through the door.

End BGM

"Hmm? And who might you be?" A voice asked as they saw the Crystal King in front of them.

"We're Team RWBY, of course!" Ruby said.

"And the Ice Climb-"

"Oh, so you're the famous RWBY that Bowser told me about." The Crystal King interrupted Nana.

"Hey!"

"Huh, I was wondering when Bowser would hear about us." Yang said.

Crystal King chuckled. "I will not be like the others. First, I will defeat you, and then I'll present Bowser with an iced RWBY gift! …And those two kids that no one remembers."

"WHAT?!" Nana yelled.

"Alright, that's it… you're asking for it!" Popo exclaimed as they prepared themselves.

Crystal King smirked. "Show me what you're made of… RWBY!"

BGM: Freeze! (Paper Mario)

Yang ran over and launched fireballs from her Gauntlets as the Crystal King formed an ice shield to block them, but Ruby quickly used her Speed Semblance to appear behind him and slashed him away where the Ice Climbers jumped up and hammered him down, then he aimed at Blake.

"Ice Bolt!"

Blake was hit, but she suddenly exploded as they looked at her in surprise and then the real Blake appeared and kicked him away where Ruby and Yang quickly attacked him, but he quickly formed icicles in his hands and began throwing them, as he them summoned the Crystal Bits to aid him.

"We'll deal with the Crystal Bits, you deal with the Crystal King!" Popo said.

"Got it!" Yang nodded as the four of them ran over as the Ice Climbers dealt with the Crystal Bits.

"I'll freeze you solid! ICY BREATH!" Crystal King yelled, but Weiss got in front of him and Myrtenaster glowed as she unleashed a powerful beam of ice that collided into the Icy Breath, both of them in a standoff, but luckily, Yang punched him straight into a wall.

"Ruby!" Yang cued as Ruby nodded as she ran forward and used her Speed Semblance, as the Crystal King was bombarded with fireballs and the fiery tornado that was Ruby, and then slashed him into the flames where Blake slashed him over to Yang who used an uppercut.

The Crystal King quickly recovered in the air and summoned an Ice Bit who he then ate… and proceeded to shoot it at Blake, but luckily, she was just a clone as the real one appeared above him and slashed him down where Weiss launched icicles at him to pin him to a wall.

"It'll take more than icicles to take me down." Crystal King said as he removed the icicles and ran forward, throwing icicles and then sliding to a stop and using Ice Bolts, barely hitting them, but they kept going strong until Ruby managed to pierce through him in the fiery tornado of her semblance, as his eyes widened in pain. "No… it can't… be…!"

"Oh, it's happening!" Yang said as she jumped up and let out a war cry and punched him right in the head to finish him off as the Crystal King lit up… and melted, signaling his defeat.

End BGM

"That should take care of him." Ruby said as the Ice Climbers nodded and they proceeded to walk out, where the snow seems to be clearing up ahead.

"So, what are you gonna do?" Yang asked, looking at the Ice Climbers.

"Well, I think we're going to stay in Sherbet Land for a little longer and climb more mountains." Popo said.

"And make sure everyone remembers us like we were in that Smash tournament!" Nana declared and high fiving Popo.

"Yup!" Popo grinned.

"Well, in that case, we'll see you later." Yang said. "Take care you two."

"And try not to slide down any more slopes!" Weiss advised as the Ice Climbers laughed.

"Take care!" Popo waved as the Ice Climbers took off.

"Alright, let's go." Ruby said as they walked forward… and then they heard a shot being fired and then Ruby was hit in the back. "AAAGH!"

"WHAT THE?!" Yang yelled as they turned to see Roman and Neo.

"Well well well, if it isn't Team RWBY." Roman said.

"You…" Yang growled.

"Yes, us." Roman smirked as they then looked at Neo.

"Uh, does she look a little different?" Weiss asked as Ruby got up, surprisingly still in her Fire Flower power-up.

Neo now has light green hair as her eyes are pink (left) and orange (right). Her jacket is a frosty-lime green with a touch of pink in the middle. Her legs have a rainbow-like pattern to it and her shoes are pink and orange.

Her umbrella also has a rainbow-like appearance.

"Hmm?" Roman looked at Neo. "Huh, you look different." He said as Neo pulled out a Fire Flower from her pocket with a sly grin before putting it away. "I see, you probably absorbed that." He said. "Well, whatever it may be… we received word that we should stop you."

"Well, we'll see about that, buddy boy." Yang growled as they got ready for a fight while Roman and Neo got ready as well.

BGM: Red Like Roses Part II (RWBY)

The four of them ran forward as Roman calmly walked forward as Neo readied her blade from the umbrella, as it was emitting steam as the four proceeded to jump over as the two others got ready and then the four attacked.

Neo backflipped and aimed her umbrella-blade at the group and fired rainbow-like fireballs at them, hitting Weiss and Blake, but Yang and Ruby attacked her, but Neo jumped over and kicked the two while launching fireballs at them.

Roman chuckled as he ran forward and whacked Blake and Weiss with his cane and then shot them before kicking them away, then shooting them again.

Ruby ran forward and slashed Neo, as the fiery trail was enough to singe Neo a little, but she didn't care as she stabbed Ruby repeatedly and kicked her away while backflipping on Yang's punches and then she punched Neo, but to her surprise, Neo shattered and then she reappeared near Yang and hi jump kicked her away, as this caused Yang to go back to normal.

"You little…!" Weiss growled, launching icicles at Roman but he ducked and then shot them again before running over and kicking Blake down before whacking Weiss down with his cane.

"Hmph, I thought this was the best you got." Roman taunted as Weiss and Blake growled, as unfortunately, their Flower power-ups were totally gone.

Yang kept punching Neo, but she dodged every attack as she front flipped and drop kicked Yang to the ground, then Ruby changed her scythe to its Sniper Rifle form and shot Neo repeatedly, but she kept dodged every shot as one shot hit an invisible ? block and a certain bell came out of it as Ruby noticed it and quickly ran to grab it.

"A bell with eyes…?" Ruby wondered as she looked over to see Blake having a difficult time with Roman. "BLAKE, CATCH!" She yelled and threw it, but Neo saw this as she pressed the button on her umbrella, activating it as the Bell bounced up into the air. "Hey!"

Neo simply grinned as Ruby ran over and slashed her, but Neo dodged every attack and kicked her right in the knee and used a backflip, kicking her in the process and deactivating the Fire Flower power-up. "Why you LITTLE…!" Yang growled.

"And now, ladies…" Roman aimed his cane at the girls. "This is where I bid you… adieu!" He said… and then the Super Bell landed on top of him, which activated the Cat outfit for Roman.

Roman is now wearing an orange version of the Cat Suit with black stripes on the back with the hands and feet and end of the tail being black. (Gee, I wonder what this could be referencing.) His Bowler Hat now has cat ears on it.

"Wh-WHAT THE…?!" Roman yelled.

End BGM

The whole fight paused as they looked at Roman.

And then they burst out laughing while Neo desperately tried to hold in her giggles as she pulled out her scroll… and took some pictures of it while Yang was doing the same thing.

"Oh, I am so sending this to JNPR." Yang laughed and pressed 'send' while Neo pressed 'send' to three certain people.

"Argh! You think this is funny?! I'll make sure I will be the one who gets the last laugh… and getting a bowl of lasagna in the process!" He said and then blinked. "…Where the hell did that last part come from?"

"Alright, shall we?" Ruby asked as her team nodded.

BGM: Die (RWBY)

"Alright, Neo! Let's do this!" Roman said as Neo nodded, but she couldn't contain herself as she was holding her giggling at Roman's get-up as they proceeded to attack the two of them as Neo dodged Ruby's and Yang's attacks and shot several fireballs… but she seemed to be a bit more distracted, probably because of what Roman was wearing.

"You look ridiculous!" Blake taunted, shooting him.

"Ooof! I am not ridiculous, I look pretty swell and I dare say that you're about to come to your untimely demise… and can SOMEONE tell me why I'm talking like this?!" Roman asked as Weiss and Blake proceeded to attack him repeatedly as he swung his cane… although a bit lazily as Weiss easily ducked and slashed him.

Blake rolled her eyes. "I like this new look of yours, it's… shall we say… ironic?"

"Ironic? I'll show YOU ironic, Miss kitty cat, for I will show you how easy it is to piss off a cat! …AAAAGH! MAKE IT STOP!" Roman yelled he tried pulling off the cat outfit, but it was no good as Weiss and Blake proceeded to easily take him down while Yang used an uppercut on a still-distracted Neo and then Ruby shot her down to finish her off, as she lay right next to Kitty Roman.

End BGM

"Well, that was pretty interesting…" Yang said as they walked away, seeing a lot of mountains in front of them as they saw a sign.

"This way to Rock-Candy Mines!" The sign read.

"So… Let's go to the mountains, I guess." Ruby said.

"Yay… more rock climbing…" Weiss said unenthusiastically as they took off, leaving Roman and Neo behind.

"Ooogh… it would've been swell if that went well… oh great, now I'm rhyming… what's become of me?" Roman sighed. "I'm still craving lasagna… and I'm suddenly having a deep hatred for Mondays…" He muttered as a sudden fireball hit Roman, as the power-up disappeared. "…Ow! …And suddenly, those feelings are gone."

"Oh, Roman… "A voice said as they looked to see the same woman from before. "It seems you have much in common with Bowser."

"Exactly who is this Bowser fellow?"

"Someone who I think you'll… get along with." The woman chuckled as they saw an airship next to the woman. "Come on, he'll be dying to meet you two."

"If you say so…" Roman muttered as he and Neo got back up and got on the airship as the woman took off to Bowser's Castle.

Speaking of Bowser…

BGM: Bowser's Castle (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"Lord Bowser… um… The Crystal King has been destroyed." A Shy Guy said.

"WHAT?!" Bowser yelled. "ARE YOU SERIOUS?! THEY EVEN GOT PAST HIM?!"

"Yes."

"Ooh… I knew I should've given Blizzaurus a protective shield…" Kamek muttered to himself.

"WHERE ARE THEY GOING NOW?!"

"Um, the Mountains."

"WHICH MOUNTAIN?!"

"Rock-Candy Mines."

"And who do we have there?!"

"A Monty Mole with a Tank."

Bowser's eye twitched. "KAMEK! GIVE HIM MORE ARMOR AND GIVE HIM BULLET BILL BLASTERS!"

"On it!"

Bowser growled. "This is not going well…" He said.

"Lord Bowser, sir! We got info on the sunken water castle!" A Hammer Bro ran over to him. "This might calm your nerves!"

"Alright, I will see what I can find out about this so-called impersonator of someone who claims my name… and THEN I will take over the Mushroom Kingdom!" Bowser said. "But first… I'll go rub it in Mario's face, then I'll get to work!" He said as he walked away.

Hammer Bro sighed. "Are we ever going to take over the Mushroom Kingdom?"

"We will… eventually." Kamek said. "We just gotta give Lord Bowser motivation… and fast. It's not like they're expert rock climbers, right?"

"Hmm… maybe… and how's General Guy doing?"

"He's recovering but he wishes to get back at RWBY." Kamek muttered. "Hopefully, things will be able to go quickly and RWBY will be quickly destroyed."

"Here's hoping." Hammer Bro muttered and then heard laughing as they saw a certain boy laughing his head off at his scroll. "You there! Why are you laughing?"

"Just something that Neo sent me!" He said and then kept laughing. "Where is she? She has GOT to see this!" He ran over as Hammer Bro and Kamek looked at each other and shrugged.

End BGM

At Beacon…

Jaune walked around and heard laughing as he turned around to see Nora, Ren and Pyrrha laughing hysterically. "Hey, what's so funny?"

"Check your scroll." Pyrrha said throughout her giggling as Jaune checked his scroll to see that Yang took a picture of Roman wearing the cat suit.

"O-Oh my…" He said as he burst out laughing. "Oh, that's great!"

"I am showing this to EVERYONE at Beacon!" Nora said as she quickly took off to show everyone while the others were still laughing.

Gee, I wonder what Roman's cat suit could be referencing?
