The group walked forward as they looked around the island. "It's strange… Yoshi's Island is usually very populous with the Yoshis… but…" Peach looked around. "I'm not seeing them."
"You don't think…" Luigi looked worried.
"The Grimm wouldn't come over here, would they?" Mario wondered.
"The what now?" Sarge asked.
"The Creatures of Grimm." Ruby spoke up as she pulled out her scythe and drew on the ground with her blade, making a good picture of a Beowolf. "They're usually drawn by negative emotion." She said.
"Drawn by negative emotion, you say…" Sarge mused as all eyes locked onto Church.
"…Oh ha ha! Very funny!" Church said. "You're probably just making this up!"
"Um, Church…"
"Not now, Caboose!" Church said. "All I'm saying is that these guys are probably messing with us about these Creature of Grimm! It sounds like a fairy tale, and if anything, fairy tales don't exist! And if they did, it'd be nothing more than friendship this and friendship that and that'd so fucking boring that-"
"Church!"
"NOT NOW, CABOOSE!" Church yelled. "It'd be so boring that… that…" He heard growling and glared at Nora. "You! Orange haired girl! Control your stomach!"
"That's not me." Nora said, reaching for her grenade launcher.
"…Sarge…?"
"Nope." Sarge shook his head as he reached for his shotgun.
"Church, you might wanna turn around." Tucker said as Church slowly turned around to see a huge Beowolf growling at them, causing Luigi to pale up.
"What. The fuck. Is that." Church said.
"A Beowolf." Ruby said.
"Basically a Creature of Grimm." Yang added as the Beowolf roared at them.
"Phew! You could use a breath mint." Caboose said.
"Do you believe us now?" Blake asked.
"…Shut up." Church said as he aimed his sniper rifle at the Beowolf at the head and pulled the trigger. But as luck would have it, it didn't even touch the Beowolf despite being half a foot close. Seriously, it didn't even hit the creature. The bullet just literally moved around the Beowolf's head like it was avoiding it on purpose.
Anyway, the Beowolf blinked, looked down at his body before shrugging it off and slapping Church away. "Gah!"

"MAMA MIA!" Luigi yelled, trying to run away but Mario grabbed a hold of his arm. "Aww…" He pouted as he turned around as a few more Beowolves proceeded to make themselves known.
"Crap! What do we do?" Grif asked.
"Only one thing." Sarge said. "CHAAAAAAAAAAARGE!" He yelled as they proceeded to attack the Beowolves as they also watched the young huntsman and huntresses attacking the Grimm in style as Church got back up.
"Why you little…!" Church growled, running forward and proceeding to punch a Beowolf as it turned to look at him and growled. "…Shit." He said as the Beowolf slashed him away while Sarge shot the Beowolf's head off with his gun as the rest of them proceeded to take them down with ease… and then there were no more Grimm to attack.
End BGM
"Aww… they're fading away…" Caboose pouted.
"That's what happens when a Grimm is killed." Weiss said.
"But I wanted to keep one as a pet."
Church got back up. "You had it perfectly under control." Yang smirked.
"Shut up." He growled as they walked forward and as they got closer to Yoshi's house… they started to notice something.
"Mario…" Peach whispered.
"I know." Mario nodded, holding out his hammer as they saw a massacre of Grimm on the ground, as they were slowly fading away.
"Boys." Sarge cocked his shotgun. "It looks like we have ourselves a Grimm situation."
"Oh come on, you too?!" Simmons growled.
Sarge chuckled. "I guess Yang's rubbing off on me." He said as they walked forward, ready for anything.
"Yikes… I'd hate to be these guys… whoever killed them." Tucker said as they walked around, searching for whoever did such a thing.
"Bro, do you think Yoshi did something like this…?" Luigi asked.
"I dunno…" Mario rubbed his chin in thought.
"Well, someone did this to them, and it probably wasn't-" Luigi was suddenly shot up by a rope. "MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"Bro?!" Mario turned around to see Luigi trapped in a net.
"What in the world?" Jaune asked… and the next thing they knew, ropes were caught under their feet and they were suddenly hanging upside down.
"WHOOOOA!" They all yelled until they were all upside down… while Peach desperately tried to hold her dress down… unfortunately, her crown fell off.
"Well, this is a cruel way to catch a Faunus!" Sun growled as Zwei was upside down as well and strangely… Booniper was caught as well.
"We're all caught, dumbass!" Church exclaimed.
"I should have worn a skirt for this!" Sister said.
"Wait, what?!" Weiss asked.
"You never wear a skirt!" Grif told her.
"OH SHUT UP!" She yelled.
"Hmm, I didn't expect to catch any humans…" A voice casually said as they saw a woman sitting in a chair and reading a book just near a tree as there's a crossbow leaning on the chair.
The woman has long wavy silver hair with brown streaks in it that goes down to her lower back as she has chocolate brown eyes. She's wearing brown leather armor with silver trim in combat for protection and maneuverability with a pair of black thigh high boots that has clips for her crossbows. She's also wearing a belt that has a holster for her pistol and knife, and pouches for ammo and some various other gadgets, her symbol, which is two crossed arrows over a Boo mouth, is the belt buckle. She also has black elbow length leather gloves with her symbol on the back in brown. Around her neck is a thick black scarf that wraps around her neck and goes down to her knees when standing up with her symbol sewn into the end of the scarf.
"A new friend!" Caboose said.
The lady casually smiled without even looking. "The name's Nyx Shadow."
"So… why did you trap us?" Yang asked.
"I'm an expert trapper. I've killed many Grimm this way. I never expected to trap humans near the Yoshi village."
"So… do you expect us to hang around here forever?" Yang asked.
"GOD DAMMIT, BARB!" Church and Simmons yelled.
"You're doing this just to spite them, aren't you?" Weiss glared as Yang smirked.
"You know it."
"If I had my way…!" Church growled.
Nyx chuckled. "A pun maker, hmm?" She softly smiled. "I don't expect you to hang around forever."
"Another one?!" Weiss asked.
"NOOOOOO!" Church and Simmons yelled.
"Yay!" Caboose cheered as Nyx, without looking away from her book, aimed a crossbow at the ropes and shot them.
"WHOOOOOA!"
THUD!
"Ow… bad landing strategy…" Ruby groaned as they got back up.
"See? Told you that you weren't going to hang around for too much longer." Nyx said.
"…Can I kill her…" Church growled.
"With your bad aim? I doubt that you will." Simmons said.
"Hey, my aim isn't terrible!"
Nyx put her book away and chuckled. "So, what are your names?"
One introduction later…
"Hmm, Team RWBY, JNPR, two members of Team SSSN, Mario, Luigi, the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, and a bunch of buffoons from somewhere called Blood Gulch."
"Hey! We're more than just buffoons!" Tucker said.
"Yeah! We're mega buffoons!" Sarge said, as the two high fived each other, as Church facepalmed.
"So, where are you from?" Mario asked.
"The Mushroom Kingdom, but I was actually born on the outskirts of the Forever Forest near Gusty Gulch."
"F-F-F-F-Forever Forest?!" Luigi paled. "But that place is…!"
"Crawling with Boos, I know." Nyx nodded. "My family was tormented by these Boos, I mean… I know there are some Boos out there that mean no harm, but you know how they get." She said and glanced at Booniper. "I know this one is friendly, but I'm keeping my eye on it." She said as Booniper tilted his whole body to the side and looked at Zwei in confusion.
"Another question." Peach said. "Why are your crossbows connected to your feet? You kind of remind me of Bayonetta." She said, as Ruby shuddered at that name, remembering how Bayonetta violently attacked them and wanted to kill Pit.
"Never heard of this Bayonetta person, but that's just usually where I put them." Nyx smiled. "If I want to be up close and personal, I carry this." She said, pulling out a combat knife as it had a jagged edge. "This is equipped with a stun feature. When I stab someone with it, I can unleash a nasty shock into them, and the handle of this knife also acts like a stun gun." She explained. "I also carry this." She pulled out a pistol.
"It's a pistol… nothing special." Church said.
"Oh, but it is. This pistol carries ice dust rounds for freezing people in their place."
"Dust, you say…?" Weiss asked, suddenly intrigued.
"These pouches on my belt carries more than you think… like back-up solutions such as bear traps that sets up on their own, caltrops to slow down anyone and trip wire, which is what you tripped over earlier."
"Man, you think of everything! How do you do that?" Doc asked.
"…Oh, I didn't see you there." Nyx said.
"Oh come on!" Doc sighed.
"My father trained me to hunt for animals in the Forever Forest and I learned how to set up these traps by him, and when I'm not with my father, I'm usually with my mother who gave me a lot of books to read."
"Nerd!" Grif and Tucker shouted, as Nyx rolled her eyes.
"Nonsense! You were probably on top of your class. What school did you go to?" Sarge asked.
"Home." She smiled.
"A school at home…? Not possible." Church said. "…But whatever. Continue."
"I was living a good life until one day… these two people came over and-" She stopped herself, clenching her fists. "Let's just say we were forced to move to Toad Town. I soon came across this comedy club and I have this great appreciation for comedy and bad puns." She said, causing two certain people to growl and glare at Yang. "Long story short, I was selected from a contest due to my aim and tracking skills… and well, I go to Beacon Academy. I'm like the first person from the Mushroom Kingdom to ever go to Beacon Academy."
"How come we never saw you?" Pyrrha asked.
"I'm usually in the library, studying for hours on end before I head back to my room. I'm waiting for three more people to come into my room to form a team… but enough about that. Ozpin asked me to come here because there was a sudden spike in Grimm activity here in Yoshi's Island."
"We came here to visit Yoshi since these guys never heard of Yoshi." Peach explained, referring to the gang.
"I see." Nyx chuckled. "Well, in that case, I'm going with you." She said as they walked forward to Yoshi's Island… but then they suddenly heard an explosion, catching their attention and they quickly ran off until they came to Yoshi's House.
"Yoshi! Where are you? It's me, Mario!" Mario called out.
"Yo…?" A voice caught their attention as they saw a green dinosaur with a saddle on his back emerge from a bush, and then saw Mario. "Yo Yo Yoshi!" It cried and then ran over and tackled Mario to the ground.

"Ooof!" Mario exclaimed as he was suddenly licked on the face by him. "Nice to see you too!" He laughed.
"What… is that?" Weiss asked.
"That, guys… is Yoshi." Peach smiled as Yoshi emerged from licking Mario and saw the gang.
"He's… HE'S A DINOSAUR?!" Weiss yelled.
"Aren't they supposed to be extinct?!" Yang asked.
"He's a friendly dinosaur. Don't worry." Luigi said as Yoshi did a cute little spin and noise and then did the 'peace' sign.
"Yoshi Yoshi!"
"He says hi." Mario translated… and then they heard a bark as they turned to see a brown and white… dog of sorts with his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Did I forget to mention that he's constantly smiling?
"Poochy!" Peach squealed with delight as Poochy happily barked and hopped up on Peach's arms, licking her as she laughed and then hopped off and spotted Zwei as they proceeded to greet each other the way dogs usually do.
"This is Yoshi's pet, Poochy." Luigi said.
"They're kinda cute!" Sister said as she began to pet Yoshi and Poochy as they both smiled… while Blake was hiding behind Jaune as Poochy tried to chase her around, before it cutely whined.
"Aww…" Ruby smiled and picked up Poochy. "Who's a cute little puppy! You are!" She said as Poochy proceeded to lick her and things were starting to look up… until a claw wrapped around Peach.
End BGM
"Huh?" Peach looked down… and was yanked back. "AAAAAH!" She screamed, catching their attention.
"Peach!" Mario exclaimed and looked up. "You!" He said as Yoshi cutely growled.
BGM: Bowser Jr's Airship Armada (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Mwahaha! Nice to see you again, fools!" Bowser smirked.
"Bowser!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Hello again, team Stinky!" Bowser smirked. "And you too, Mario and Green 'Stache… and you too, Yoshi!"
"Yo…" Yoshi growled.
"Why are you kidnapping the princess?!" Yang asked.
"Duh! It's what I do!" Bowser said.
"I got this." Church said, aiming his sniper rifle at the claw's arm and shooting it, but like usual, he didn't even hit it. "DAMMIT!"
"Nice breeze." Bowser taunted.
"Don't worry, I got this." Nyx said, bringing out her Crossbow.
"Ah ah ah! You wouldn't want to hurt the princess, would ya?" Bowser asked, as the claw got in front and having Peach act like a shield as they gasped.
"Coward…" Nyx growled.
"I'd love to stay and chat, but I've already made myself a castle here on this island. Later, losers!" He laughed. "Kamek! Distract them!" He ordered as Kamek appeared before them and fired his magic on the ground, as tons of Fuzzies popped up on the ground.
"Fuzzies?!" Luigi exclaimed.
"Have fun!" Kamek laughed and disappeared while Bowser took off.
"HEEELP!" Peach screamed.
"Peach!" Mario ran forward, but the Fuzzies formed a blockade as Bowser quickly flew off.
"Why that ungrateful little Koopa…!" Weiss growled.
"We gotta save her!" Ruby exclaimed as they were surrounded by the Fuzzies as they proceeded to destroy them all, but by the time they were done… Bowser was long gone.
"What do we do, Bro?" Luigi asked.
"Same thing we always do." Mario said, hopping on Yoshi's back. "Rescue her. Let's-a go, pal!"
"Yoshi!" Yoshi nodded as everyone took off.

Meanwhile…
"Here you guys go!" The Toad Captain said as four certain Koopas hopped off on the boat.
"So, this is where they're at, eh?"
"Shall we have our revenge on them?"
"Oh yes, we shall. No one humiliates the Koopa Bros! Let's go!" Red declared and took off… while another boat docked and then Nabbit hopped off, giggling excitedly and taking off.
Sorry about the wait... it was a long crazy week with my family and my grandmother was constantly up in the hospital and I was lucky enough to get Dream Team's second chapter posted last week, but... needless to say... she passed away yesterday, and right now, i'm writing to get my mind off things for now. *sigh*
But enough about that... here's the second chapter!
