"Naminè! She is destabilising!"
"Calm down, she's doing her best. It will work."
"How can you put so much faith into such a thing!?"
"Because... he's involved."

Floating... falling... going deeper into the infinite abyss...
Her thoughts... her feelings... her memories... she could see them but they were all out of reach.
Was this... death?
No... No it couldn't be... she could feel her heart beat within her chest... but why did she feel so cold...?
Before Weiss could even think, her body moved, landing gently on the ground at the bottom of this abyss. Wasn't she just in water? Why could she breathe? Why was everything so... clear all of a sudden?
Steeling herself, she stepped forward, only for her to be assaulted by white birds. She covered her eyes, only to realise that the darkness was receding, revealing white and blue stained glass underneath her feet.
Soon, she realised she was on a pillar with some sort of art on it. It was of her, standing with a soft smile, with her key-like weapon at her side. Near her head were pictures of four people: Ruby Rose, Blake Belladonna, Yang Xiao Long, and her sister Winter. In the background, she could easily recognise it as Atlas with the style of buildings. The borders of the stained glass art of broken Schnee symbols.
"Here again..." Weiss whispered out. "But... it feels... different..."
As if in response to her words, cracks began to appear on the pillar, growing bigger and wilder... before a giant one appeared, splitting the pillar down the middle.
"H-Huh? What the-" Weiss gasped, only for her to go to her knees and clutch her chest. D-Did she have a heart attack? Could you have a heart attack in a dream!?
Soon, tendrils of darkness began to creep over the edges of the pillar, sinking into the cracks and slowly making their way to girl.
"Help... someone..." Weiss couldn't help but beg. She was dying, she knew it. This was merely a dying dream as her body failed. She didn't expect she would go out like this, suffering so much pain after just getting herself killed by... by someone.
"I... I don't want to die yet..." Weiss got out as she tried to make herself stand. "I... It can't end like this..."
Do you... need help...?
"Yes! Please!" Weiss cried out as she felt the darkness slither up her arms. She didn't care who that was, she just needed someone to save her!
I can give you everything you need... you just need to trust me...
"I DON'T CARE!" Weiss shouted out as she sunk deeper and deeper. "HELP!"
Reach out...
"WHERE!?"
Follow my voice... follow my light...
Weiss screamed as she ripped her arm out of the darkness and held out her hand, even as the darkness began to cover her eyes.
Where was the light!?
Where was it!?
Oh God, she was...
I got you!
I can't help if you give up! I need your help too!
Please... don't fade...
No...
...
...
...Weiss?

"Naminè... she is quite the wonder."
"Yes. Indeed. I will continue to monitor her condition should she destabilise once again. In the meanwhile, continue your work on the Organisation."
"I'm worried though... the things we had to do... I'm afraid once he wakes up-"
"It is fine. He will awaken just as you remember him."
"..."
"Hm? Is something wrong?"
"Sorry... just... Thanks to her powers, it gets difficult some times to recall his name."
"Hahaha... HAHAHAHA! Even someone as close to him as you can even lose those precious memories. She has quite the power over him."
"..."
"...That is why there are some who have the right to exist... and some who don't. Leave, her restoration should be going smoothly from now on. But before you go, tell me..."
"What is it?"
"What is his name?"
[Restoration at 65%]
"Sora?"
[Restoration at 75%]
"Sora!"
[Restoration at 98%]
"Sora...!?"
[Restoration Complete]
"SORA...!" A really familiar, barely understandable voice shouted out.
"U-Uh..." Sora groaned as he opened his eyes. His head felt... kinda funny for some reason, but he also felt... refreshed for some odd reason or another. Like he took a really nice nap.
Though, why did this place feel so... what was the word...? Cramped...?
Hiss...
Suddenly, he was blinded by a bright light. However, his eyes adjusted pretty quickly... allowing him to see two of his friends standing in front of him, waiting to greet him.
Sora yawned before letting out a big smile. "Donald! Goofy!"
"Uh, Sora?" Goofy got out. "Um...Oh gawrsh..."
"Huh?" Sora gained a confused look before jumping out of his... pod thing. "Hahaha...Why are you two looking at me with those funny faces?" He then chuckled out.
"Er...Sora...? We're not looking at you." Donald pointed out.
Sora raised an eyebrow before noticing that the mage and knight weren't looking at him, but past him.
So, with that little bit of deduction, Sora turned his head... to see a sleeping girl's head on his shoulder.
"AH!" Sora yelped as he realised the white haired girl was clutching her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. Was this mysterious girl on his back the whole time!? "H-Hey! Wake up already!"
"Mmm... a few more minutes..." The white haired girl mumbled out. "Wake me up for classes..."
"What?" Sora got out in confusion before shaking, unintentionally getting his spiky hair to brush her nose.
"A-A-ACHOO!" Weiss sneezed, quite cutely as the boys couldn't help but note, before groaning. "Ugh... really Yang? I thought you were above using the same method twice..."
"Who's Yang?" Sora asked.
SHATTER!
Weiss' eyes snapped open.
Where was she?
Why is this room blindingly white?
Why is she being piggybacked by someone she doesn't know?
Why was there...
WHAT THE ACTUAL NAME IN ALL OF REMNANT ARE THOSE!?
"YAH!" Weiss screamed as she jumped off the boy's back and quickly created some distance between herself and... whatever those things are. "What the...?"
"H-Hey, calm down. No one's here to hurt you." The boy in ill-fitting clothing assured as he slowly approached the scared girl. "Look, we're all friends here. I'm Sora."
"S-Sora...?" Weiss repeated before wincing. Where did that headache come from?
"Are you okay, um..." Sora quickly got out as he rushed to her side.
"I-I'm fine... I think..." Weiss replied as she rubbed her forehead. "Oh, sorry. I'm Weiss."
"Nice to meet you, Weiss." The... walking, talking oh-god-its-close-to-my-face dog greeted as he waved his hand.
"...Who are they?" Weiss all but begged Sora to explain what ungodly crimes against of nature were these two.
"Oh, that's Donald and that's Goofy. Don't be so afraid of them, they're the greatest buds a guy could ask for." Sora stated as he pointed at the two.
"Yeah, Weiss! You don't need to be afraid, we'll help you as best as we can." Donald spoke up.
"I...I can barely understand the duck..." Weiss thought. Was there a motorboat stuck in his throat!? She felt like she needed movie subtitles just for him!
"I don't know why you were in that pod with Sora, but don't worry, we'll figure it out together." Goofy, she assumed the dog was named Goofy, said in a comforting tone.
"...I refuse to call you Goofy." Weiss mentally deadpanned. "Do you have a last name?" She then asked.
"Goof!"
"...Your...last name...?"
"I just told ya. My full name's Goofy Goof!"
"Really? Huh, didn't know that Goofy." Sora admitted.
"You never told us your last name though..." Donald pointed out.
"Oh, it's-" Sora started, only to see Weiss heading for the door. "H-Hey, where are you going!?"
"To Beacon, to Vale, to... anywhere else but here!" Weiss called out as she stormed off. This entire experience was not good for her sanity.
"Hold on!" Donald called out as he ran past her and stood in her way. "We'll help you home."
Weiss couldn't help but feel annoyed as she bent down to look the duck in the eyes. "I'm sorry, but I can get home on my own, thanks."
"I'm not sure how far you'll get though, considerin' that we're on another world-Ulp!" Goofy muttered out before covering his mouth.
"GOOFY! What did I say about world border!" Donald shouted at the knight.
"Uh... isn't it world order?" Sora corrected with a smug look on his face.
"WACK!?" Donald quacked before slapping his face.
Meanwhile Weiss was taking the news of the existence of other worlds coming from a talking dog who was friends with a talking, angry duck and a boy in kids clothing just as well as anyone else would...
And promptly went for the exit.
"Wait wait wait, stop!" Sora called out as he ran up to her. "Look, Weiss, I know you're lost and confused but at least let us help you to the station."
Weiss narrowed her eyes at the boy before sighing. "Okay... fine, I'll... I'll let you three escort me to the... wait, station? You know where we are?"
"Huh?" Sora got out in confusion and blinked. "Um, sorry, still a little drowsy. I must be thinking of somewhere else. But I bet there's somewhere like that if we explore around here together."
"Okay. God, you remind me of Ruby..." Weiss muttered under her breath as she shook her head.
"Don't worry, Weiss, we'll do our best to help you home." Sora promised with a bright smile. It then dropped as he looked around. "Uh... how did we get here...?"
Sora towards Donald and Goofy, who just shrugged their shoulders in unison.
Suddenly, a... little... thing jumped out of Sora's hoodie and stretched.
"That was some nap!" The little green guy yawned out.
"What the…" Weiss whispered out, getting the… whatever-this-thing-is' attention.
"Hm? Oh! Is she a new friend Sora? Cricket's the name. Jiminy Cricket!" Jiminy introduced himself before looking around. "Where are we, Sora? How did we get here…?"
"Not sure. But let's retrace our steps." Sora suggested.
"Well, all I remember was that I was having trouble sleeping, and I went up to the rooftop to do some training. And then…" Weiss started only to wince. "Ugh… And… It was... all a blur…I fought someone…and they defeated me. That's all I can remember." she then finished as she held her head as her hand instinctively went for Myrtenaster… only to remember that her weapons was destroyed.
Oh no, she was going to have to call her father…
Wait a minute!
Weiss quickly went for her pouch and pulled out her Scroll and tried to turn it on. Unfortunately, the battery was dead.
So much for that…
"Okay, now, what do we remember…" Sora muttered out. "Let's see...we defeated Ansem..."
"Yep." Goofy got out with a nod.
"What?" Weiss spoke up.
"...Restored peace to the world...found Kairi..." Sora continued to list off before it hit him. "Oh yeah, and then we went to look for Riku. I think that's right so far."
"Restored… peace?" Weiss repeated in confusion and disbelief. What did he mean by that? "Who are Kairi and Riku?"
"Oh, they're Sora's best friends." Goofy explained. "Sora here travelled all over to find them. Things got real complicated though… We'll tell ya later."
"Then what?" Donald urged for Sora to continue.
However, he just shrugged his shoulders. He was coming up pretty blank…
He could vaguely remember scythes and… fire and… no, that wasn't right…
"What does your journal say, Jiminy?" Goofy asked.
Jiminy's eyes widened as he took out his book and flipped through the pages.
Suddenly, he started frantically going through it. "What!? No! No no no! It's all blank!" He cried out, feeling tears beginning to form at the edges of his eyes. "All that work… gone…"
"What!?" Donald exclaimed, which grated Weiss' ears.
"But Jiminy, you treat those journals like treasure. I wonder what happened." Goofy wondered out loud before the cricket gasped.
"Hold on! I found something!" Jiminy gasped out, having turned to the last page. "Thank Naminé. Hmm... Excuse me, miss, but do you know happen to know someone with that name?"
"No. And it's Weiss." The heiress replied. "Let's leave. This is not the place to dilly-dally after all."
"Right. Let's go explore this world." Sora got out as Jiminy jumped back into his hood.
"Crickets do not look like that..." Weiss couldn't help but think as she followed the boys out of the room.
Chapter 2: Restoration
Journal Entry – Weiss Schnee 1
First appeared in RWBY (2013)
A young woman from another world, training to be a Huntress and is the heiress of an important company.
She was attacked by a man in a black cloak, but was saved by a mysterious figure, who then placed her within Sora's pod for unknown reasons. Now she travels with Sora in order to find her way home.
Weiss isn't quite as used to travelling as Sora so she is often surprised, confused or befuddled by various concepts.
