Weiss Reacts to Emergence, Part 2!
A/N: Welcome, one and all, to Weiss Reacts! Boy, have I got a bunch of news for you guys! Firstly, we have acquired some more stories for reactions; firstly, The Draigg's 'The Weiss List'- go read that and the rest of his fics, they're brilliant, better than mine and inspiration to me, too-, The Layman's Fics- you know the drill- and the one you've all been waiting for, and yes I know this, since you guys have been asking for this one since Volume 1.
*drumroll* Rapey Lemons' 'Blood Rose'! Yes. This is happening. Just wanted you guys to know. You may proceed to squee to your heart's content.
Okay, enough rambling, let's get this chapter on the road because I'm running out of daylight here!
DISCLAIMER: RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth, otherwise there would be more magical girls in RWBY.
All mentioned franchises and characters belong to their respective owners.
Emergence belongs to Chris7221.
Team RWBY was in their dorm, huddled up on all manners of chairs and beanbags around Weiss' computer, reading the fic 'Emergence', of which they had finally gotten to Blake's arc.
Yang sulked, pouting and crossing her arms. "Hmph. Why do you guys get all the fun places..."
Weiss blinked at her, looking at her in disbelief.
"I-I got a warzone! H-How is that a fun place?!"
"Point taken." The brawler nodded, holding up a finger. "Still, why does Blake get the fun place?"
"Because I'm awesome." The catgirl shrugged. "And...no Gurren Lagann. WHY NO GURREN LAGANN?!"
"Not everyone is obsessed with that anime, Blake." Weiss reminded her drily. "And neither is your canon self, of which he thankfully based you off of."
"...boring..." Blake sighed, continuing to read the chapter. She frowned.
"This is gonna suck. Wouldn't I be able to, you know, know they aren't actually Faunus?"
"Huh?" Ruby looked over at her.
"I mean, Faunus have a unique scent and all..." The catgirl noted. "I mean, probably something to do with the shenanigans that got us teleported to Earth in the first place, but still..."
Weiss nodded. "I take your point. Perhaps such a point was left out, whether by accident or on purpose to create a better story."
"I suppose."
Ruby munched on some cookies, giggling. "Well, at least you got a bunch of cosplayers."
"I can just imagine the hilarity if they were RWBY cosplayers..." Yang chuckled. "Man, that'd be funny..."
"The antics from that would make me want to kill myself from that madness..." Weiss facepalmed. "I swear..."
"I...simultaneously want to give myself a hug and punch her in the face to get her to be more manly." Blake chuckled. "Mainly a hug."
"I know what I'd do if I met myself anywhere..." Yang chuckled. "Even if she was a cosplayer..."
Weiss glared at her. "...come on, is there NOTHING sacred anymore?!"
"Nope! Being perverted is fun!"
"For you."
Blake grumbled. "Oh, I know I'm going to hate this...so Ruby gets the understanding college students, Weiss gets the badass young refugee girl, and I get the clueless idiots?!"
"Karma." Weiss said matter-of-factly. "We have to deal with your obscure anime references nobody gets, so you get to end up with a bunch of people who don't get you."
Yang pouted as she read the next chapter. "Oh, man...I'm jealous now. I wanna go to Japan!"
"What, so you can go perv over your anime idols or something?"
Blake nodded. "She has a point. I'd want to visit, say, Inaba. Or Mitakigahara. Or Kamogawa, now that you mention it. Akihabara would be pretty cool too."
"Sadly, we can't visit those because Elf's never been to those places before." Yang frowned, sighing.
The heiress sighed, looking over to Yang. "What are you even talking about? Once again, I can't understand you!"
Blake ignored the argument between Yang and Weiss and continued reading to the chapter whereupon her story self discovered the RWBY wikia.
"Note to self: acquire autograph from Miss Zech if I ever meet her." Blake made a mental note. "You think that ever happens to people, Yang, where fictional characters get their voice actors to give them an autograph?"
Yang shrugged. "That would...probably be headache inducing."
"You morons broke whatever this 'fourth wall' thing is so much already, I'm surprised you incompetents STILL get a headache from this meta thing you keep talking about!" Weiss snapped irritably.
"But the fourth wall's so fun to break!" The brawler protested. "I'm deliberately not making puns, for example, because my VA's known for that! So I want to screw with the fans' expectations and not make too many puns!"
"JUST SHUT UP!" The heiress grumbled, before sighing in exasperation. "I don't even...just...I'm done, Yang. I'm done."
Blake chuckled. "Ohohohoh. My story self definitely needs a punch to the face to make her more manly."
"And Blake, why is your response to any incarnation of yourself in a story to punch it in the face?" Weiss glared at her teammate.
Blake scoffed. "I prefer not angsting about damn near everything, thanks. I've watched enough Evangelion to know what happens when you do.
In all honesty, story!me, you are a moron. I mean, sure, take some time to think, but come on, at least wait for Weiss and Ruby to explain things! How are you going to find Yang?! Dammit.
And this, dear Weiss, is why I cringe at my canon self. Even if she is moe enough that I want to hug her and never let her go."
Ruby shrugged, looking to the heiress. "She has a sound point. Can't argue with that."
"At least it makes sense, but I do agree with her sentiment." Weiss nodded. "She could at least have waited for someone to explain the nonsense before going off into despair."
Blake crossed her arms. "I can see why she did it, but I still disapprove...okay, enough ranting at my story self holding the idiot ball, let's go read some more!"
"...I know I should be having a headache from reading this, but I don't." Blake mused, reading the next chapter. "I'm reading about myself, having found she's a fictional character, while lampshading the fact that we're fictional characters."
"Still don't get it." Weiss grumbled.
Yang shrugged. "Eh. You'll do eventually."
Ruby continued munching on cookies. "Could be worse."
"And...oh, come on!" Blake complained. "I have to stow away on a freaking cargo hold?! I'm manly enough to hold that, but seriously! That just sucks..."
"Whatever their security must be, it's terrible." Weiss noted. "Seriously, they didn't notice the catgirl in a large coat sneaking around a cargo hold with shadow clones?"
"The guards must be crazy." Yang chortled. "Or unused to dealing with badasses."
"And RIGHTFULLY SO."
Ruby cheered. "Yay! Blake's with us! Oh, wait..."
"Huh?" Weiss looked confused.
"Um...Yang?"
"..." The brawler sighed. "I'm not going to like where I ended up, aren't I?"
"You...ended up with terrorists."
"Come on!" The brawler complained. "Seriously!? I get the terrorists?! That's not even-come on! At LEAST give me a GOOD place to stay! Why can't I get a pet store?! Or a kitten farm?!
Why terrorists?!"
"I'd have thought he'd put me with them." Blake mused. "Being that I used to be in the White Fang, the parallels would be quite interesting."
"Point taken." Weiss nodded, moving to the next chapter. "Okay..."
The girls began to read the chapter, and Yang's eyes widened as she read her passage.
"What...oh..." She blinked, her cheerful expression leaving her face and being replaced with a disgusted grimace as more gore and death filled the scene.
"...that's...I'm going to...I think I'm going to be sick..."
Ruby patted her sister on the back comfortingly. "Don't worry..."
"I...that's just...no." The brawler choked slightly, rubbing her eyes.
Weiss stared at her, concern plainly visible on her face. "Are you crying?"
"I'm sorry...I'm just...I just don't..."
Before Yang could continue, Blake and Ruby simultaneously had the same thought and gave her a large, warm hug.
"It's just a realist fic, Yang. You don't have to worry..." Blake calmly reassured her. "It's fine, you didn't really do that."
"Yeah, it's not really going to happen." Ruby added. "Besides, the only way we're going to end up in another world is if Blake takes us there with the Lagann."
"And I'm sure as hell not taking you to that world." Blake scoffed.
Weiss sighed, rubbing Yang's shoulder reassuringly as her contribution.
"I'm surprised this got to you, but I'll confess, I felt the same way when I read about myself in Donetsk. If it really troubles you that much, we'll take a breather from reading this, okay?"
Yang looked up at her, blinking. Her eyes were slightly red and tears were welling up. "N-no. I don't need a breather...I just need a moment.
Thanks, guys...I-I love you all." Throwing her arms wide, she hugged her entire team to her body gratefully.
Ruby squeaked slightly from the pressure, but nuzzled her sister. "Of course! I'll always be there for you!"
"As will I." Blake reminded her. "Just who the hell do you think I am? I don't abandon friends."
"I suppose I will, even if you do act like a moron." Weiss sighed.
Ruby glared at her. "Weiss!"
"I'm going to be comforting, not a liar."
"N-no, Rubes, it's fine." The brawler giggled. "That's about as heartfelt I'm going to get from her.
That means a lot."
The catgirl clapped happily. "Excellent! So! We've gotten through Yang's crisis, now to watch...ourselves being morons and wanting to throw ourselves into misogynistic xenophobic terrorist land!
That's an EXCELLENT idea, story us!"
The heiress rolled her eyes. "Way to kill the mood."
Yang sighed, chuckling at Blake's remark, rejoining her team and reading the fic with them. She smiled.
"Nice to know you'd go into a place like that for me, Rubes."
"I'd do that." The reaper said with complete seriousness. "Of course! What else do you expect?"
"Those college students have serious balls, trying to organise or start organising an extraction like that." Blake whistled. "I swear, they need medals or something."
"...I wonder why there aren't more of these fics?" Weiss mused. "It's an interesting concept, if a bit...disheartening at some points."
"Eh." Blake shrugged, continuing to read on with the rest of them. "It's a good idea."
...
"...damn..." Yang blinked. "...it's kinda...odd...reading about me doing torture when I know I couldn't...no, wouldn't dare...
Right now, I just wanna give myself a hug. No perverted thoughts behind it. Just a plain, pure hug. She needs it."
"At this point, anyone would give you a hug." Blake added. "All I know is that everyone who wasn't Ruby or myself's gonna need serious therapy after this arc."
"Still..." Ruby had continued reading after Blake and Yang had paused. "...props to Joe and Nigel for pulling that off. Come on, they had no intel or anything and they pulled off extracting Yang from there!"
"Every Terran character in this fic who aren't a bunch of douches needs a medal. All of them." Blake declared. "I swear, one of these days, I'm going to pop into that universe and pin those damn medals to their chests if I have to."
"Uh..." Ruby held up a finger. "They barely adapted to having superhuman teenagers show up and act like goddesses of war. I don't think they'll adapt to a giant mecha powered by manliness showing up too well."
"Point." Blake sighed. "Still...I'm at least giving this a favorable review."
"Agreed!" Yang nodded in assent. "I'm going to give this guy hell for making me cry, though..."
"Aaaaaand..." Ruby held up a finger in anticipation as she scrolled down the page. "Yaaaang's safely back with us! Woo! That makes four of us!"
"And yet I don't feel like the fic's over." Weiss noted.
Blake nodded. "Something's going to happen. Something big." She sighed as she looked to her teammates.
"So...who's leaving the review?"
From: Little Sun Dragon-Sempai
omd i love this fic it's amazing and realist and amazing
you made me cry tho pls dont i dont like crying
still good work keep it up
-love, yang x.l.
ps. im mad at you for not putting me in japan
Weiss sighed. "Well...that's done. So..."
"...can I be a pervert again? I miss perving on you people." Yang pouted.
"N-no! Yang!" Weiss blushed, shaking her head, but it was too late.
Yang had already broken out the interesting drawings of scenes between her and Ruby.
Needless to say, much mood whiplash and awkwardness ensued.
END-I mean, OMAKE!
Weiss Reads the Spacebattles Thread and Weiss Really Reacts
"...you mean this thread's posted on a forum?" Weiss looked over at Blake, who was munching on a tuna sandwich.
"Mhm. Spacebattles." The catgirl said, slightly muffled by the delicious fish in her mouth. "I'm on there as 'KaminaNekoFan'. Posted a selfie of myself there, too. Nobody believes it's really me."
"Huh." The heiress nodded, before grabbing her tablet and opening up the thread on her browser, scrolling down through the opening post.
"...Weiss...Really...Reacts?" She blinked. "...oh, dear Oum, please don't tell me this is about that stupid fic from that stupid Elf shipper moron."
"I think it is." Blake shrugged. "Read it. I haven't, so you can trust I'm not telling you to because it'll be funny.
It'll be funny anyway, but just so you know..."
"Ugh..." Weiss sighed. "My curiosity needs satisfying. Damn you..."
...
The heiress felt her left eyelid twitch, having read the small Aside.
"What...in the name of Oum did I just read?! Was that supposed to be an approximation of my rage?!
She has some points- that stupid fic is terribly written and inaccurate and stupid! But my rage is better articulated! I do NOT spell like an incompetent when consumed by anger! Just...argh Ihatethatstupidjerkfacenow..."
"Marie much?" Blake whistled.
"Who?" Weiss inquired, before shaking her head. "...and now more people know about that stupid fic. Great. Now more people will stalk us.
And whoever posted that comment about me reading this thread...they have a strange sense of prescience."
"True."
Weiss sighed in frustration, placing her head in her hands. "I am disappointed in this man for writing about this stupid fic! Even there I can't escape it..."
"Nope~" Blake smirked. "You're doomed~"
END
A/N: To that guy who said Weiss would be reading the Spacebattles thread, I dedicate the above omake.
So, a huge shoutout to Chris7221, who gave us the opportunity of doing this remarkable fic- hopefully I might convince him to allow me to do a retake featuring his next act- as well as the usual shill- his fic is just better, really- and if you're reading this, you're awesome!
Next chapter, Blake Reacts to Music Standoffs, Part 2! Yes. It's on. Again.
So, I hope you enjoyed that chapter, leave your reviews, ideas, suggestions, thoughts, criticisms and comments and I hope you have a GREAT day! Until next time!
