AN Sorry about the lack of actual reactions in this chapter, i was still setting up the story but that's all out of the way with this chapter so the next I can guarantee will contain reactions.
RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth, and the videos will belong to FoggyMemoryJ. The clips used in the videos belong to their respective owners and I will leave the same list of clips used as they do in the videos in the authors notes in each chapter.
A flash, a bang, a fall, some yelling and crashes later the world suddenly had a number of extra people in it that were not there previously. One was a young, dark redhead girl rocking a black and red goth style combat skirt. Another was a white haired princess in a long ice blue dress. The third was a catgirl who was currently lying on top of a buxom blonde beauty who was slightly lacking in the arms department.
Close by to these were another smaller group. A long raven haired man in a green combat kimono, was laying next to an excitable ginger in a skirt and bomber jacket. Underneath the two was a scraggly blonde haired youth clad in armour similar to that of knight. All were groaning in pain at the sudden movement and the not so soft landing.
It took a few moments for them to clear their heads and make their way to their feet before they looked around and noticed each other.
"Ruby!?" yelled the startled blond.
"Yang!? Weiss!?" questioned the equally confused redhead now known as Ruby.
"Blake, Ruby?!" gasped the shocked heiress.
"Guys?!" Whispered the both elated and scared catgirl.
"Nora!" Yelled the ginger, as everyone turned to look at her. A little uncomfortable at the sudden attention she muttered "Everyone else was doing it, I just wanted to be popular." as a means of explaining herself.
The blond gave a light chuckle as he nudged his friend, "Seems familiar eh Ren?"
"Yeah Jaune, yeah it does." The raven youth said with a smile.
After a few minutes of reuniting, filled with mainly yelling between Yang and Blake over her running away, and Ruby just trying to keep the team together through the power of hugs, they finally turned their attention to the matter at hand.
"So does anyone know where the heck we even are?" asked Jaune, understandably nervous about the strange place and situation they found themselves in. Shrugs and "No ideas" were his only answers until they heard a new voice.
"I can answer that." Everyone turned to the owner of the voice instantly on edge. The kid, for he appeared to be only a bit older than Ruby, or at least younger than most of them, raised his hands in mock surrender. "Jeez calm down would you, just want to answer your question." Nobody relaxed, their eyes fixed on him.
"Who the heck are you, and where the hell are we?" Demanded Weiss.
"Cool your jets Ice queen or you're gonna melt." Only Yang laughed and that was just a small chuckle. "As for your questions, in order; an empty universe devoid of everything except us and what I want to be here, read the pin, and question three is the same as Jaune's so yeah. That's it." The group was disbelieving of the universe answer, but they did see that the kids had a pib on his shirt that he thrust out so they could see that it read "Will-previously referred to as the idiot".
"Ok so we know where, even if that seems a little far fetched, but how did we get here and why?" Questioned Blake.
"That little kitty are some good questions that I will answer with a demonstration." The kid held up a hand, clicked his fingers and buildings started rising from the ground. A tower shot up, large curved pillar walls grew out of nothingness and the ground turned into a green and pathed courtyard. The shocked group was soon standing in front of an exact replica of Beacon Academy. The sight of an intact Beacon was enough to bring tears to the eyes of everyone as they were reminded of what their home used to be, before the grim overran it.
Seeing their stunned faces the kid continued "Yeah took me awhile to get that down, not so much the buildings but the clicking." He gave another click of his fingers and the structure faded away. "Could never click. Couldn't click to save my life. Anyway I hope that helped you believe that whole thing about me controlling this universe right?." He was met by several dumb nods, as the group had yet to recover.
"Right so the actual reason you're here is multifold. If I don't do something than my powers are a goner, and you guys seem really depressed, so I thought 'why not kill two birds with one stone?'"
"So you're going to do something with us to cheer us up?" asked Yang. My proud nod only seemed to anger her as she yelled out "What the hell could you do to cheer us up?! Blake's probably gonna run the moment you send us back, I've lost my arm and one of our friends are dead!" What the hell could you-"
"Ta da!" the kid interrupted as he pulled something from behind his back, grabbed Yang's half arm and shoved something against it with a sick squelching sound. When he moved back it was revealed to be a forearm, as Yang and the group stared dumbfounded at the repaired limb, while Will gestured with jazz hands at his gift. After a few seconds of shocked silence and Yang wiggling her fingers and moving her arms about, Will cleared his throat and said "Again, ta da!" Once more jazz handing towards the arm.
The kid was suddenly bowled over by a crying blond and her sister each squeezing him while yelling out "thank you"s in between hysteric sobs. He awkwardly patted their backs while trying and struggling to breath, as the others chuckled at his misfortune, actually feeling somewhat happy for the first time since the fall of Beacon. After sobbing themselves ragged, the two sisters let go of Will, allowing him to take in great lungfuls of air.
"So not that we're not appreciative about this," interrupted Ren, gesturing to Yang and Ruby who were messing about with Yang's reattached limb, gathering the others attention "but there's one thing you haven't told us. How do you know about us?"
"That my little ninja will be answered after I bring in our final guest." Will said gaining raised brows from the rest of the group. He then took several steps away from them, urging them not to come too close. Taking from his pocket a brush and a shingling black ink, he started to draw a series of complex lines on the floor that none of his guests could even begin to comprehend.
When he was done, there was an empty circle surrounded in ink lines. Waking up to the circle, the group saw Will create a human like creature out of thin air, and laid it in the circle. It was only human in shape, for it was a pure white, and lacked any features, no face nor genitalia of any kind. Backing away from the thing that he had created, Will bent down at the end of a line of the squiggles he had drawn with an arm raised, and his fingers bent. My
"Edo Tensei!" he shouted slamming his hand onto the lines. The symbols lit up as the creature began to melt and bubble away. The group was very tempted to look away and vomit up their last meal, but a horrified curiosity kept them in place. The gooey mess that was the creature began to reform, retaking its original human shape. The ground around it also shifted, rising up to form a sandy brown coffin that confined whatever the goop had turned into inside.
Will approached the side of the coffin facing the group. "And now, introducing special guest star…" the coffin lid fell forwards and the contents were revealed. Red hair, emerald eyes, and bronze body armour. She was unmistakable. She appeared dazed and confused as the group gasped and stood dumbfounded. "Pyrrha Nikos!" Again came the intro jazz hands.
That was when all hell really broke loose. It could pretty much be summed up as lots of crying, hugging, confusion, and in Jaune's case kissing (much to the delight of everyone who saw that the two would be involved eventually). Clearing his throat, Will regained the attention of those present. He once again explained his powers to Pyrrha and why he had brought them all here, while also saying that bringing her back was something that would help them all in the coming times. However Ren still wanted an answer to his question, an answer all of them were dying to know.
"Well, that's a long story." Will began, forming a chair for himself, and two sofas for the teams to sit on. Jaune and Pyrrha were cuddling in one of the corners of their sofa, Nora trying to get Ren to do the same, with team RWBY just sitting casually. "Have any of you heard of multiverse theory? Wait, no, don't answer that cause I'll explain it anyway. Basically the theory states that for every possibility there is is universe dedicated to it. You come from a universe where the grim exist and the planet is radically different. I come from a universe where the grim don't. Sometimes universes can interact with another. Though not directly, they can influence each other. The most common way is through media and entertainment. I hope you can guess where I'm going with this?"
By the shocked faces, it was easy to see that some of the group had put it together. "So to you, our lives are just a TV program or something?" asked Yang.
"No, your lives are an online animated series. But that's about the general gist of it." Needless to say this put the group back into a stunned silence. A few minutes of shouting, panicking, and denial later, the group had calmed down enough for the rest of the explanation.
"So yes, to people in my universe you are pure fiction. I admit I am a fan myself, but you don't have to worry about me being some creepy fanboy who's gonna keep you guys locked in his basement or something like that. I'm just your average fan who had a chance to help some people who really needed it and took it."
The group was at least thankful for that, having to deal with a fanboy with god-like powers is pretty much the worst thing they could think of. A punishment only for the worst of criminals like Cinder and the dreaded last pancake thief.
"Now as is the case in a lot of media, fans will often put together funny videos using clips from the show mixed with other bit and pieces of other shows. That is what I have brought you guys here to watch, a bunch of videos about yourselves that we can all have a laugh about and not be so depressed. You got me?" he finished with a grin on his face.
The groups huddled together and began whispering to each other about what they were going to do. Eventually they came to a rescission. "Sure, why not? We've got nothing better to do, and it seems like some good fun." Ruby said, earning an even wider grin from Will.
"Great!" He exclaimed, clapping his hands to his knees. "All we need's a screen and we're good to go." After he said this he clicked his fingers and a large screen seemed to phase into existence. The lights dimmed as everyone got ready for a side-splitting video marathon.
