Warning, there will be some spoilers for those who didn't watch the other seasons of RWBY.
"Breaking News! A massive Grimm attack happened on Vale. This sudden attack shocked the entire people of Vale. There were some major casualties, but thanks to the hunters and students of Beacon, they were able to stop the Grimm attack." Lisa Lavender said through the screen.
Watching her on the holographic screen were Ozpin, Ironwood, and Glynda. The three adults were in Ozpin's office, looking at the screen seriously as they watched the news of the recent Grimm attack. Ozpin shows a calm expression while Ironwood stoic at the news. Glynda seems to show no emotions at the news, but hidden care in her eyes proves otherwise as she thought of the innocent lives that could've been lost if she and the others didn't get there in time.
"The one responsible for this operation was none other than Criminal Mastermind, Roman Torchwick. He is placed in a holding cell at Vale's Security Prison. He is being questioned by General Ironwood himself. In other news, two unknown creatures came into the city, helping any civilians from getting attack by Grimm. Few were injured from the attack but no fatalities. Researchers are still trying to figure out what those creatures yet remain unsolved. Back to you, Cyril!"
The screen was suddenly paused by Ozpin. They and everyone in Vale discovered that these two creatures helped the students in fighting off Grimm. It was a fascinating yet mysterious discovery. However, they have other problems right now. And that was Torchwick's sudden crystal turning. Ironwood went back to internet Torchwick at his cell, but to his shock and horror, he found him turned into a crystal statue. There was a full security search for anyone that might have broken into the facility. But Ironwood's security enforcers couldn't find anything in security cameras, they were all erased, clean from any information. This angered Ironwood, the fact that someone was able to break into Vale's Security prison behind his back and was able to erase all evidence right under their noses.
"This can't be possible." Glynda said to Ozpin. "No one can't just enter without being spotted."
"And yet, someone did." Ironwood said in an almost angry tone, feeling like someone was making a fool out of him and Atlas. "Whoever did that to Torchwick, knows that he failed and wanted to silent him."
"We shouldn't judge to conclusions, Ironwood." Ozpin said calmly. "We still have yet to learn their motives."
"They are already making their move!" Ironwood indicated in anger. "They already broke through Vale defenses by using the abandoned underground train and now they're silencing Torchwick."
"James! We get it!" Glynda said in annoyance and anger. "But right now, we have other things to deal with!"
"She is right." Ozpin said, taking a sip from his coffee mug. "We have to deal with this later, right now. We must figure out where these creatures came from."
With that said, the holographic screen minimized, allowing another screen to appear to reveal Amaryllis and Ripper, fighting off the Grimm with the students. They were curious about these creatures and where they came from. They learn from some witnesses that they came from the opening where the Grimm came from. And to everyone's surprise, they didn't attack the students or civilians, they only attacked the Grimm. It was a shocking development for everyone, especially Ironwood. They have never seen such creatures before.
"Recent reports say that these creatures pay no mind at the civilians." Glynda began, looking at the screen. "They only attack any Grimm that comes near the students or civilians."
"Well, they're not certainly Grimm." Ironwood stated.
"We can see that they're not Grimm, James." Glynda said in annoyance with an eye roll. "But still, why are they here? They appeared out of nowhere and just helped the civilians to safety."
"Professor Oobleck has a theory about them." Ozpin began as he looked at the two hybrids at the screen. "He believes that they are dinosaurs."
"Dinosaurs?" Glynda repeated in surprise and confusion. "Weren't they extinct billions of years ago?"
"They were, but it seems that these two must've survived. Evolving into a new breed of dinosaurs." Ozpin explained to the adults seriously.
"And this raises another question. How many more are out there?" Ironwood began, looking at the screen seriously.
"What are you getting at, James?" Glynda questioned him.
"Think about it, there could be others hidden somewhere from our kingdoms." Ironwood explained to the two teachers. "We don't know when another one will show up or if they are a threat."
"Ironwood, two of those so called 'dinosaurs' just helped us with a Grimm invasion." Glynda stated to him seriously.
"But we're not sure if others like them are good." Ironwood pointed out to her seriously, which earned a glare from Glynda.
"Enough." Ozpin stopped the bickering as he looked at the image of Amaryllis and Ripper with a serious expression. "Whatever the reason why they are here, we have to know what we are dealing with before another Grimm attack will happen on Beacon."
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
Ruby suddenly screams out through the Emerald Forest in the middle of the night, she was wearing her pajamas. She was sitting at Ripper's side as the Indoraptor looked at his Mama Red worriedly when she suddenly 'roared' out her frustration. Zwei was next to Ruby, making worried whimpers after seeing Ruby venting out her frustration. On the other side, Amaryllis was lying on her stomach with Voltaria on her back. Her four entities were right behind Voltaria as they watched Ruby release her frustration. Wraith finds it amusing to see Ruby breaking down like that. After finished screaming, Ruby collapsed on the ground with tears falling from her eyes. They snuck out from their dorm rooms to meet at the Emerald Forest, thanks to Voltaria's entities, and had to discuss a curtain matter.
In this case, Amaryllis and Ripper's sudden fame.
"I'm a terrible mother!" Ruby moans in sadness while Ripper nuzzles Ruby's face gently, trying to comfort her.
"No, you're not." Voltaria said to her calmly.
Ruby sits up and takes out her scroll. "Look at this! Ama and Rippy are the talk of the city! Everyone knows that they exist! And everyone now thinks that dinosaurs still roamed Remnant!"
The picture on her scroll shows an article of how Amaryllis and Ripper helped the students and the Atlas's knights. It has gone viral overnight and people began searching for any sightings of them. It was a total nightmare for Ruby since she felt like she was responsible for this. As Ruby cries tears of shame, Voltaria pinches the bridge of her nose, trying to focus her mind and ignoring Ruby's whining.
"Ruby, we all know that one day Amaryllis and Ripper will be discovered." Voltaria began with a sigh as she got off Amaryllis and walked over to Ruby. "All we need to do is keep a low profile until everything calms down."
"How?! The people won't give up their search for them!" Ruby cried out, hugging Ripper's head. "I don't want them to be taken awwwaaayyy!"
Voltaria rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms. "Oh, get a hold of yourself, Ruby. No matter how hard they'll search, they won't find them." She said to Ruby sternly.
"How can't I?! I basically expose them! I have to lie to my team to save them!" Ruby exclaims while sobbing on Ripper's head, who croons at her worriedly. "I'm a terrible mother and a team leader!"
As Ruby cries her eyes out, Voltaria stares at her blankly under the mask. She can tolerate Wraith and Regina arguing, but Ruby's whining she cannot tolerate at all. Sighing again, Voltaria went over toRuby and grabbed her shirt.
"RUBY! Stop it!" Voltaria scolded, causing Ruby to stop crying. "We can get through this, if you just calm down, okay?" Ruby nodded as Voltaria let go of her shirt. "And as for your teammates, they will know the truth eventually."
"What do you mean?" Ruby asked in confusion.
Voltaria looks at the stars under her mask as she speaks. "I'm saying…they will need to be informed about the danger up ahead."
Ruby looked at her with wide eyes as she just realized what she meant. "Wait…are you saying we should…"
Voltaria looked at her and said the words that would make Ruby burst with happiness. "We are going to tell our teammates and team JNPR about the danger…and tell them about Amaryllis and Ripper." She finally answered.
Ruby couldn't hold the squeal of delight as she hugged Voltaria happily, much to her annoyance. Amaryllis and Ripper were curious about both their mothers. They wonder what Strict Mother means by telling the others. Does this mean that they will meet their mothers' packmates? They heard so much about them by their mothers. Heck, they even helped them in battle. But only for a short while since they've been exposed to the entire city. And yet, they were kind of excited in meeting the other packmates, they hope they like them.
"Tomorrow is Saturday, we will inform our teams to meet with us after lunch while I contact Team JNPR." Voltaria informs Ruby.
"D'awww, you've changed!" Ruby cooed at her before stopping as she realizes something. "Wait, why did you change?"
Hearing this, Voltaria glanced at Ruby under her mask, she had a feeling that Ruby would ask her that. Wraith was telling her not to answer, but she ignored him as she looked at Ruby. "Remember the town that I went to with my team?"
"Yeah, Mineral Town, right?" Ruby answered as Voltaria sat down beside Ruby, looking at the stars.
"I…I never told anyone about this but…"
"It's okay, you can tell me. We're friends after all." Ruby assured her.
Voltaria sighs and looks at Ruby seriously. "You heard rumors about me of being created in a lab or was raised by Grimm."
"Er…kind of." Ruby answered awkwardly.
"Well, they're wrong, I was actually born in a nice town with both human parents." Voltaria began. This got Ruby's attention as she listened to Voltaria's tale. "Both my parents loved me from the day I was born. My mother was a healer, and my father was a miner at the Schnee Dust Company."
"Your dad used to work as a miner at Weiss's family's company?" Ruby asked in surprise.
"Yes, he was supposed to work as a farmer at my town, but he decided to be a miner to help the people, both humans and Faunus, in their work since he has friends working there, he wanted to support them in the best way he can." Voltaria explained her story.
"Woah, he sounds like a good man." Ruby said with a small smile before vanishing when she saw Voltaria lowering her head slightly.
"He was a good man." She said softly to her. "I barely knew him before his death."
"What?"
"When I was only a one year old, there was a mining accident at the Schnee's mines, my father sacrificed his life to save others that were trapped in the cavern. He was a hero to the workers, but expendable to the eyes of Jacques Schnee."
"Weiss's dad." Ruby mutters sadly.
"He didn't care if my father died to save his workers, Jacques only cares about himself and money. And he's not even really Schnee, he just took the name for himself."
"Wait, Weiss's dad isn't a Schnee?" Ruby asked in surprise.
Regina appears beside them along with the others. "It is true, dear Ruby. Jacques is not really a Schnee, his real last name is Gelé."
"Gelé?" Ruby repeated the name in confusion.
"The Gelé family are a rich business family, Weiss's father is the third inline in the company, but his two older brothers always bested him." Regina explains.
"Oh…so, taking Schnee's name means…"
"Power, Ruby. He wants nothing more than power. He doesn't love his own family, just Schnee's company and power." Regina said angrily.
"As Regina said, Jacques is indeed the worst man in all of Remnant." Voltaria said blankly.
"…Do you hate Weiss because of what her father did to your dad?" Ruby asked nervously.
"I hate her father, not Weiss. For all I know is, Weiss can change the Schnee's name into a better one." Voltaria said to Ruby like if she was assuring her. "But her father is a horrible man that doesn't care about people's lives, but his."
Ruby stared at Voltaria with pity, losing her father like that was heartbreaking, "What…what happened to your mother?" She dared to ask.
Voltaria closed her eyes briefly, remembering her mother's beautiful smile, before opening her eyes as the image of her mother's smiling face vanished. "She was murdered."
Ruby gasped in shock by this information. Voltaria clenched her fists together as she remembered the tragic day. "It was late at night, when I was turning six, my town was invaded by bandits, robbing its resources. Some bandits broke into our home and threatened us to come over to them. My mother wanted to protect me, keep me safe. She tried to get us out of there but one of the bandits started shooting and…and my mother shielded me from getting killed. Sacrificing her life…for me."
"…I'm sorry…I didn't know." Ruby said sadly and sympathetically.
"She did out of love to protect me…but her death triggered my semblance." Volatria said as her teeth turned into fangs.
"Your semblance?"
"Yes, it made me summon my entities and Gladstone." Voltaria glared at her fists as she remembered that day. "I told them to get rid of those bandits but spare the townspeople. They stole my mother's life, so I stole the bandits' lives. An eye for an eye." Voltaria explained to Ruby, making her scared. "Once all bandits were as good as dead, I left my town to train my skills with my entities and Gladstone."
"You left your town! But…but what about the townspeople? Aren't they worried about you?" Ruby said with concern.
"They don't need to worry. They think I have died like the other poor souls that suffered that night." Voltaria explained to Ruby, facing the girl. "I left my home so they won't find out that I become a monster that could talk to Grimm."
"But you're not a monster. You just save your village from being destroyed." Ruby said to Voltaria.
"If so, I don't think I can go back. After all, I do not want them to be afraid anymore." Voltaria said softly. "But I still wanted them to be safe, so I left behind a crystal that has a powerful shield barrier to keep them safe from rouge Grimm. As well as an invisible guardian."
"An invisible guardian? Like a tamable Grimm?"
"No, he's actually…a friend of mine that no one, but me and my entities, knows about. He kept my home safe from bandits and raiders." Voltaria said to Ruby calmly as she talked about Kurama. "He has been my friend since I was young, he took care of me and trained me in combat."
"Wow, he sounds awesome, what's his name…if you want to tell." Ruby said.
Voltaria stared at Ruby under her mask for a short while before responding. "His name is Kurama and he is a half Faunus and a Grimm."
"REALLY!? That is sooo cool! Tell me everything!" Ruby exclaims excitingly.
"Don't tell her!" Wraith yelled in Volatria's mind.
"I know what I'm doing, Wraith. You just have to trust me on this." Volatria said through his mind and the others as she looked at Ruby. "I will tell you, if you promise not to tell the others, for they cannot know my past."
Ruby quickly made a zipping motion on her mouth. "My lips are sealed! But…just one question? What were your parents' names?"
Voltaria looked at Ruby briefly before answering the names of her parents. "They're names were Pandora Twilight and Toren Venus."
Wade lets out a yawn as he wakes up from his sleep. He was exhausted from the sudden event that happened on Beacon. He sat up and noticed that AJ and Evo were both awake while Voltaria wasn't with them. That's no surprise for Voltaria disappearing like that. I mean, they basically got used to their mysterious Grimm Girl Teammate vanishing act. Wade gets off his bed and stretches his muscular form, hearing his bones cracked in the process.
"I see V is not with us today." Wade said to his team.
"Yup, as usual." AJ said, putting on lipstick.
"Where are ya guys goin'?" Wade asked his team.
"I'm going out shopping with Coco and Velvet today before lunch." AJ answered, finishing putting her lipstick on.
"I need to get my music player that Sun stole from our room." Evo said in annoyance.
"Why would he do that?" Wade asked, grabbing a towel from the drawer.
"What I heard from Nora; Sun stole it for Neptune. Apparently, Neptune was trying to use it while lip syncing to impress some girls." Evo said with annoyance.
"I pity those girls that Neptune is trying to hit on." AJ said while shaking her head a bit before putting on her beret and then getting up. "Welp, I'm off shopping with the girls. See you boys at lunch."
"Have fun." Wade said with a wave at his girlfriend, earning a kiss from the cheek from her.
AJ left the room along with Evo, as he and Wade did a fist-bump, and headed towards their own destination. Wade was about to hit the shower when he noticed something on his bed that wasn't there before. Narrowing his eyes, Wade picks on what appears to be a small black card that has white ink written on it that says:
Meet me at Room 209 after lunch, alone. Do not let anyone else know-Voltaria
"What are you up to, V?" Wade mutters out suspiciously. He and the others never understand Voltaria, she was always secretive and didn't bother to talk about her life. But now she wants to meet him alone at the room that she trained Jaune at. He was curious about why she wanted to talk to him and how she put the card on his bed without anyone knowing. But he can think about that later, right now, he must get ready for today. Wade then placed the card down as he grabbed his towel to take a shower.
Though, he doesn't know that he's not the only one that knows this.
Meanwhile, at the courtyard, Evo was at the courtyard talking to a nervous Sun and Neptune. As turns out, they kind of…dropped Evo's music player at the fountain and kinda broke it. Evo grabbed his now busted music player and gave the two males a glare under his visor before marching back to his dorm to fix it. But as he was about to, Evo stops and notices that his music player has a black card that Wade received from Voltaria and has the same exact words.
Meet me at Room 209 after lunch, alone. Do not let anyone else know-Voltaria
Evo was curious about this sudden invite, he wanted to know what she wanted to talk about. He decided to wait until lunch time to see what's going on and what she wants to talk about. However, he wonders how she was able to put this card on his music player.
Later, AJ was at a famous clothing store with Coco and Velvet. She and Coco were trying to persuade Velvet to try on a pretty sundress. Velvet tried to refuse because they assured her that she would look very pretty. So, when Coco drags Velvet to the changing room, AJ searches for a nice handbag for her mother. As she searched, she noticed a black card attached to a fine vintage handbag. AJ was surprised to find out that this card was a message from Voltaria and she wants to meet her at room 209 after lunch. She wonders how Voltaria was able to put this card on a vintage handbag and how did she know where she was? AJ has so many questions in her mind she decided to find out when she meets with Voltaria later.
But Wade, Evo, and AJ didn't know that Voltaria was inviting other guests. Team JNPR received Voltaria's meeting cards. Jaune got his from his bag. Pyrrha received hers when she was reading at the library. Ren and Nora got theirs when they were eating breakfast, which is pancakes, and will soon meet up after lunch. She didn't need to tell team RWBY because Ruby already told them about showing them something really cool after lunch.
"Come on, Ruby. Tell us what you want to show us?" Yang asked her little sister.
She and the rest of team RWBY, plus Zwei, were following Ruby through the halls of the academy. Ruby was basically skipping with joy as she was excited to tell them something. Yang, Weiss, and Blake were suspicious about Ruby's surprise. Sometimes they were good and sometimes they were bad, mostly bad in Weiss's opinions. But Ruby wouldn't want to spoil the surprise.
"I'll tell you when we get there, come on!" Ruby said excitingly.
"This better be good, Ruby. I have to study for an incoming exam and-huh?" Weiss was cut off when she and the others spotted Team JNPR and Team WAVE, except Voltaria, were standing near the door of room 209.
"You guys made it!" Ruby exclaims happily to the two teams, who were surprised to see them.
"Ruby? W-What are you guys doing here?" Jaune asked.
"Ruby wanted to show us something." Yang answered. "Why are you guys here?"
"Well, as it turns out, we were invited by Voltaria to come here alone. But apparently, she had other plans." Wade said seriously.
"Okay, this is getting creepy." Yang said.
"I agree! And I haven't finished lunch yet!" Nora exclaims, taking a bite on a chicken leg.
"So, why did she ask to come here?" Ren asked.
"We're about to find out." Wade said as he opened the door in room 209.
They all entered the room together, unaware that they were being watched from afar with suspicious eyes. As the group entered, they saw Voltaria standing there, waiting for them. Her arms were crossed as she looked at them under her mask.
"It's about time." Volatria said to them blankly.
"Yeah, but we're curious, V. Why did you call us here even though your invite said to come alone?" Wade asked the young girl.
"I give you all a card to come together so I can tell you something." Voltaria said.
"Wait, are you finally going to tell us the truth, your truth?" Wade asked in shock, getting everyone's attention.
Volatria simply nodded. "Yes, though I only invited those with cards and strictly said to go alone. But it seems someone decided to follow." She said as she looked behind them.
They followed her gaze and froze to see Glynda standing at the doorway with her arms crossed. Her weapon, the Disciplinarian, rested on her right hand. She was giving them a serious look on her face. The students, minus Voltaria, tensed at the sight of the professor. They forgot to close the door when they entered and to check if someone was following them.
"And what are you children up to?" Glynda asked them sternly.
"Uhh…" Ruby tries to think of an excuse. "…Study…group?"
"A study group, really?" Weiss whispers in annoyance.
"It's the only excuse I got!" Ruby whispers back to her almost harshly.
Glynda wasn't having any of their excuses as she looked at Voltaria sternly. "What is going on here, Ms. Eclipse? Why did you bring your classmates and teammates here?" She asked suspiciously.
Glynda followed them with suspicion and curiosity, wondering why Voltaria called them. They got inside this room. The others were looking at each other worriedly while Voltaria stared at Glynda under her mask, knowing that she needed to know the truth as well. Wraith was saying that this was a bad idea, but she pushed him aside and told him that it's time for her to tell them the truth. They trusted her and she trusted them. They have the right to know the reason why she and Ruby had always avoided them. Voltaria looked at Glynda, who was waiting for an answer, as she finally answered the professor's question.
"It's time you all know how I'm always one step ahead of you all." She said.
This caught everyone off guard. They always knew that Voltaria was one step ahead of them. She's more mature and skilled for a kid her age. Ruby was always with her and they had suspicion that she and Voltaria were hiding something. Glynda was curious about them all for she has been searching for any files about her but couldn't. Voltaria steps back a bit as she looks at them.
"You might want to brace yourselves."
"What-"
Wade was cut off when shadows suddenly surrounded them before they all disappeared from the room, causing the door to close by itself. Soon afterwards, they all appeared at the Emerald Forest. They were startled and shocked by what just happened. One minute they were at the academy and then they appeared in the Emerald Forest within seconds. Jaune was in Wade's arms, clinging to the cowboy when they were suddenly consumed by the shadows. They all looked around the forest before they noticed Ruby was standing beside Voltaria. Ruby was grinning happily as she and her friends were able to adjust on what just happened.
"Wh-Why are we here?" Wade suddenly asked, putting Jaune down.
Voltaria looked at him and simply answered. "You guys wanted to know what's going, so I brought you here for answers."
"But why here? Why at the Emerald Forest?" Blake asked.
"That way, they introduce themselves properly." Voltaria responded to them. "Say hello to them."
Suddenly, they saw four shadow figures appear behind Voltaria. They were like shadow ghosts, three of them had somewhat eyes while the fourth one didn't have eyes. Voltaria and Ruby weren't fazed by the four figures before her. However, the others weren't sure who these four figures were until Voltaria made the introduction. Jaune jumped back into Wade's arms again, terrified at the sight of Voltaria's entities.
"Everyone, these are my guardians." She gestured to the four entities behind her.
They all looked at her in disbelief, as if she grew another head. They never knew that these entities were her guardians?! Wade accidentally dropped Jaune, who helped in surprise, and pointed out the entities.
"These are your guardians?!" Wade asked, still in shock. Voltaria simply nodded as she gestured her entities one by one. The first one to be introduced was the eyeless one.
"This is Hannibal."
Hannibal greeted with a small yet friendly growl. Voltaria gestured to the red eyes one. "This is Tabitha."
"Greetings." She spoke kindly in their heads which surprised them. Voltaria gestured to the one with white eyes.
"This is Regina."
"It is a pleasure to meet you all." Regina said kindly with a bow of respect, much to Weiss's pleasure.
And Voltaria pointed at the last entity with onyx eyes. "And this is Wraith."
The entity known as Wraith looked at the group blankly with a bored expression on his face. The group just stared at him as he turned away with a rude, "Meh.". Okay, now they know that Wraith is the rude entity while the other three are the nice ones. However, they were curious as to why they were her guardians. Voltaria has the answer for them.
"H-How long have they've been with you?" Yang asked, looking at Hannibal curiously. "And how can they talk through our heads?"
Voltaria looks at her entities calmly. "They use telepathy to communicate with you all and they have been with me since the day I was born." She answered.
"Wait? You've seen them since you were just a baby?" Blake asked, looking at Tabitha.
"Okay, that's weird." Yang said, still looking at Hannibal.
"You guys think it might, but to me, they were guiding me, protecting me." She explains.
"What do you mean?" Glynda suddenly asked.
Voltaria looks down at the floor. "As a baby, I could see things that no one else could. People that no longer exist in this world." Voltaria explains her ability to them.
"You can see...ghost?" Jaune asked almost in fear as he eyed on Wraith, who was staring out in space with a blank expression.
"They prefer to be called entities but yes, I can see them." She said.
"If they take care of you, that means..." Yang's eyes widen in realization. "Have they been watching us?!"
This caught everyone's attention as they looked over to Voltaria, her entities, and Ruby, with wide eyes. If they were with Voltaria the whole time, that means they could have been watching them?! Voltaria wasn't fazed by this while Ruby was laughing nervously, knowing that they suddenly realized what just happened.
"To answer your question, yes. They've been observing you all, seeing if any of you will try and trick me." Voltaria said, looking at them. "But seeing that you guys didn't betray me, I guess it was time to tell you all the truth."
"That you have your four entities spying on us." Yang questioned with a serious look.
"Well, that and finding out that all of you guys care." Voltaria said, causing everyone to look at her in surprise. "...Thanks."
Nora claps her hands together and brings them to her face. "Dddaaawww!" She cooed.
Wraith gave them a blank look. "Don't even think about saying cute-shits on us. We only did it to see if you guys were traitors."
"We're not." Blake pointed out before looking at the entities.
"And for that, we are grateful." Regina said kindly.
"I'm not!" Wraith exclaims from the background, causing Regina to make a blank look.
"Forgive Wraith's bad behavior, for he is always like this."
Glynda looks at Regina. "Can I ask, how much do you know about us?" She asked, almost like she wanted to know something.
Regina looks at her seriously, silently telling that they know the secret. "We know all the things that you don't know yet." She answered calmly.
"How come you knew about them before us, Ruby?" Weiss asked suspiciously.
Before Ruby could speak, Voltaria answered before her. "Ruby witnessed my entities after she followed me to visit the school." She said before glancing at Ruby. "But she did help us with…a situation."
"Situation? What kind of situation?" Wade asked suspiciously.
To answer her question, Voltaria placed two fingers on her mouth and let out a sharp whistle that echoed through the forest. At first, there was silence, but within a few seconds, they felt the earth beneath them tremble. Everyone, minus Ruby, Voltaria, and her entities, became tensed at the sudden shaking of the earth. A nearby puddle rippled at the sudden tremble of the earth. And suddenly, two figures emerged from the undergrowth that shocked all of them. Standing tall and terrifying, were the two mysterious dinosaurs that helped them fight off the Grimm invasion back at Beacon.
Both Amaryllis and Ripper stared at their mothers' pack curiously. They never see them personally, they always stay hidden and mustn't get spotted by anyone, but it seems that their mothers changed their minds. Though their mothers' packmates were a bit uneased to see them. I mean, who can blame them. They were small while Amaryllis and Ripper were big. The blond one, presumably Jaune, was trembling as his legs almost gave up but the red-haired female known as Pyrrha caught him before he could fall. The rest of the pack members had their jaws dropped at the sight before them.
However, upon seeing them, Glynda readies her Disciplinarian as she saw the two threats. But was stopped when Tabitha appeared in front of her, blocking her view. Glynda paused before Tabitha shook her head at the professor.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Tabitha said to Glynda, warning her not to do anything risky.
Glynda was hesitant. She doesn't know if these two creatures are proven to be friendly or not. But seeing how calm Voltaria and Ruby were, Glynda slowly lowered her weapon, but kept a close eye on the two hybrids. Speaking of which, Amaryllis and Ripper came forward and headed towards their mothers in a calm pace. Though Ripper was much faster than his older sister as he was in front of Ruby. Yang became tense at the sight of a huge carnivore near her little sister. But to her shock and the others, Ripper gave Ruby slobbery lick on the cheek and then nuzzled her happily.
"Ah! Rippy! HAHAHA! Stop it!" Ruby said between laughs.
"Rippy?" Everyone blurted out in confusion.
"His real name is Ripper. Rippy is a nickname that Ruby gave him." Voltaria explains to the group as Amaryllis lowers her head to let the mysterious girl pet her jaw gently. "And this is Amaryllis, Ripper older sister."
"Amaryllis and Ripper?" Nora asked curiously.
"Those are the names we have given them." Voltaria answered to the group.
They all looked at the two hybrid dinosaurs. Ripper picked up Ruby by her hood and tossed her into the air, shocking everyone-except Voltaria-but to their relief, she landed on Ripper's back as Ruby let out a heartfelt laugh. Their fears soon became at ease when Regina began the explanation on how they found them.
"You all are probably wondering how we came to meet them, correct?" Regina spoke, earning nods from the group. "Very well then, but for starters, we didn't find them. Hannibal did."
"Hannibal? The one with no eyes?" Nora points at Hannibal.
"Nora!" Ren and the other teens scolded her for being rude, which she quickly covered her mouth with both her hands.
"It is alright, Hannibal doesn't mind." Regina said kindly.
"How did he find them?" Glynda asked her.
"He actually found their eggs at the beach that was below the cliffs of Beacon's." Regina explains to them.
"Why was he there in the first place?" Ren asked.
"He was searching for fishes that washed up on the shores to snack on." Tabitha answered, appearing beside Regina.
"Yes, and because of Hannibal's discovery, Amaryllis and Ripper hatch." Regina continued the story. "And the first person they saw were none other than Voltaria and Ruby."
"Wait a second…" Yang stops Regina, holding up a hand before pointing at both hybrids and then to Voltaria and Ruby. "They think, you think, that V and Ruby are their mothers?!"
Regina and Tabitha looked at each other and then back to Yang with a nod. "Yes." They both answered unison.
"Is that why they came to help us fight Grimm that attacked Beacon?" Glynda asked Regina.
"That is correct. Their loyalty towards their mothers are so great, they will do anything to protect them." Regina explained to them the reason.
"Wait." Weiss suddenly said, getting everyone' attention. "Back on the cavern at Mount Glenn, both Amaryllis and Ripper were there because they knew Ruby was in trouble, right?"
"Yes, both Amaryllis and Ripper share a strong bond with their caretakers." Regina explains to Weiss. "And when they sensed Ruby in trouble, they quickly came to her aid to save her life."
"But that doesn't explain how they got there so fast. I mean, Mount Glenn is like hours away, how can they make it there so fast?" Yang said to the wise entity.
"The reason why they made it there quickly, dear Xiao Long, is that they had a little help." Regina said with a hint of amusement. She then turned towards Voltaria and nodded. "Mistress, would mind telling them the reason?"
Voltaria glanced at them briefly before she let out a sigh. She looks up and calls out through the wind. "Vision, come forth."
And in a flash of light, Vision appeared besides Voltaria, startling the group in the process. The crystal orb floats beside Voltaria while Zwei barks at the orb happily, shaking his tail while his tongue is out. Vision lowered himself to Zwei and circled around the dog.
"This is Vision. He teleported both Amaryllis and Ripper." Voltaria explains as she made Vision float around the group.
"Wow, what is he?" Jaune asked, as he was going to poke Vision but the orb floats away from him.
"Vision is another of my entities. He helps me search throughout Remnant for any trouble." Voltaria said to them.
"What do you mean?" Yang asked.
"Vision not only sees throughout remnants, but also…helping me see through the future."
"WHAT?!" Everyone, minus Ruby, exclaims in shock.
"No way!" Yang exclaims.
"You don't believe me? Fine, I'll show you. Vision not only sees the future, but also the past. Yang, as a child, you long to search for your mother, your real mother, after she left you with your father, Taiyang Xiao Long." Voltaria explained, causing Yang to gasp in shock. Voltaria then glanced at Blake under her mask and predicted her past. "Blake, when you were young, you're always at the front of every rally for Faunus's Rights."
Blake's eyes widened by this sudden information before Voltaria turned towards Weiss. "Weiss, ever since you were a child, you had a difficult childhood due to your father's harsh temper and how he runs your grandfather's company in his way."
Weiss didn't say anything as she turned away, feeling the invisible scars returning. Voltaria then turned towards Team JNPR. "Jaune, I know you faked your way in the enrollment of Beacon. Pyrrha, you are blessed with incredible talents and opportunities, but you wished to be treated like anyone else, a friend. Ren, Nora, even though you explained your story to us before, but I know that you two struggled to survive the forest filled with Grimm and almost got spotted by them."
Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren, and Nora were shocked to hear this information from Voltaria, as if she could read them like a book. Voltaria then turned towards Glynda. The two made contact. The atmosphere suddenly changed around them into a cold and thick wall of ice. Glynda was looking at her suspiciously, waiting for what Voltaria might say. But when she did, it brought chills on her spine.
"You know something that we do not, but you will soon tell us eventually." Voltaria said to Glynda calmly, almost shocking Glynda.
"Okay, now we believe you." Jaune said in shock.
"If what you're saying is true…then you know what's been happening, right?" Blake asked, almost desperately.
"Yes, and what I saw was something that should never have happened." Voltaria said seriously with a hint of dread.
"What did you see?" Yang dared to ask, worried about the future.
Voltaria looked at them all seriously under her mask, knowing they needed to know before it was too late. If she doesn't tell them now, they will be all doomed.
"I foresaw the Fall of Beacon." Voltaria said in a dreadful tone.
There was a deadly silence from the crowd. Everyone, including Glynda, stared at her with wide and horror filled eyes. They couldn't believe what they just heard. The Fall of Beacon? Does this mean, someone was able to destroy Vale, one of the four main kingdoms? It was horrifying information, especially towards Glynda. There was no way someone would have destroyed Vale so easily.
"H-How?" Weiss stuttered in fear. "How did Beacon fall?"
"A massive Grimm attack like no other." Voltaria began, opening her palm as she allowed Vision to float on it. "And how it desolated the city."
Suddenly, Vision flashed a bright light that caused everyone to shield their eyes. Few seconds later, they stopped and stared with eyes widened in shock. They were no longer at the Emerald Forest. Instead, they were in a now destroyed Vale. Buildings, shops, houses, streets were destroyed and empty without any life. The only ones that occupied this destroyed city were Grimm. They were everywhere, on buildings, streets, and at the now destroyed Beacon Academy. Vision projected the future of Vale, allowing the group to see what had happened to it. And everyone, minus Voltaria and her entities, stared at the scene with wide and horror. The once beautiful city was now desolated, filled with Grimm. They were all shocked to see this. Even Glynda was shocked that she dropped her Disciplinarian on to the ground. Amaryllis and Ripper look around the desolated city with caution while Zwei quickly hides between Ripper's legs with a whimper.
"Wh-what is this?" Blake stuttered out.
"The Fall of Beacon." Voltaria began solemnly. "Vision is showing you the future and how it is. If we don't stop this threat, this is what will be the future of Vale will be…forever."
With that, Vision returns to the present, everyone was still startled and shocked upon the glimpse of the future. Suddenly, Blake fell on her knees, causing everyone to look at her startled and worried.
"Blake!" Yang came to aid her teammate.
"Was that really…the future?" Blake stuttered out in fear, her eyes wide as tears began to fall. "Was it caused by Torchwick? The Faunus?"
"Yes, but they had help." Voltaria answered, causing everyone to look at her. "The reason how Vale was infiltrated was that the perpetrators are posing as students of Mistral. That way, they can sneak into the facility and rig the tournament."
"I'm sorry, what?" Glynda asked in confusion.
"Back at the CCT Hub, Regina was able to find out what the culprit left behind." Voltaria explained to Glynda. "As it turns out, that culprit left a computer virus. This virus will infect any devices connected to the Beacon network, including the Vytal Festival Tournament's match-up randomizer and James Ironwood's Scroll."
Glynda gasped in shock by this. "You knew about this?"
"Yes, thanks to Regina's intelligence, she was able to stop the virus from spreading throughout all known devices." Voltaria explained before taking out the scroll that belonged to the thief. "And this scroll controls it all. I was able to steal it from the thief while Ruby was fighting her while the woman has a fake one."
"Wait, you weren't there when Ruby was fighting the woman." Glynda reminded Voltaria.
"True, but I was hidden within Ruby's shadow while my entities took control of her body to fight the woman." Voltaria explained.
"Took control? What do you mean by that?" Nora asked in confusion.
"She means that we possessed Ruby and kicked that crazy lady's ass." Wraith blurted out.
"Wraith, language!" Regina scolded him.
"What? You know it's true."
"You guys…possessed Ruby?" Yang questions them in confusion.
Ruby laughs awkwardly while rubbing the back of her neck. "I…I didn't mind."
"Hey, do ya want your little sister to die that night?" Wraith questions Yang rudely, which made Yang gasped in shock, as he continued. "Besides, it's not the first time we possessed someone. We've done this with Arc here multiple times."
"Wait, what?" Jaune asked in confusion.
"Have you ever thought about how you always beat Winchester in sparring matches?" Wraith questions, earning a shrug from Jaune, "Me and T possess you and took over your fight with Winchester while Regina took control over you once to help you with the boring academics junk."
"You helped Mr. Arc?" Glynda asked in surprise.
"Hell, yeah we did. If it weren't for us, he wouldn't last long in this school. He was lucky that Kid was his tutor for a while before we passed that tutoring to Magnet Girl over here." Wraith gestured towards Pyrrha, who blushed a bit by the nickname.
"Wouldn't that be cheating?" Ren questioned.
"'Wouldn't that be cheating?' Do you want your team leader to die if we didn't interfere?" Wraith mocked before saying rudely that last part to Ren, which quieted him.
"In any case, we just want you all to know that we are on your side." Regina said to them. "We wish for no harm to happen on Vale or Beacon."
"Then what?" Blake asked as she slowly got up with the help from Yang. "Why are you here? And what reason?"
"Our reason is we need your help." Voltaria began, stepping forward. "This threat is a danger to all. It will ruin the peace, destroy the alliance, and bring destruction to the World of Remnant. I know I can be…harsh, but all I ask, will you help us stop this threat?"
The group just stared at her, like they were processing everything. Ruby held her hands together, hoping they would join in to help them stop the threat. I mean, they just witness the glimpse of the future of Vale and how it was destroyed. If they don't help them stop this threat, it will be the end of all the kingdoms. However, what Voltaria doesn't know, that the group was thinking about the odds. Sure, that she's always distant, always being away from them and others. But now…now she wants them to help her fight the intruders that will threaten the whole kingdom.
"There is no way we're turnin' back on this." Wade said, getting everyone's attention, as he looked at them seriously. "Think about, someone was able to beach the CCT with no problem, Grimm were able to breach the city, and the White Fang are getting into more shenanigans because of Torchwick. If what Voltaria said is true, then Vale is endanger, and it's up to them to stop this before any other kingdom will fall next."
"I'm with Wade in this." AJ said as she came to her boyfriend's side. "We all saw that horrible vision of the future of Vale. We can't let it happen or to the other kingdoms."
"Agreed." Blake said, stepping in, wanting to fix what her Faunus kind did. "We can't just stand here and do nothing."
"Yeah!" Yang agreed, punching her fist on her hand.
"Now just wait, all of you." Glynda steps in, stopping the students from their agreement. "We can all settle this with Professor Ozpin and Ironwood."
"They won't help." Voltaria suddenly said, stopping Glynda from speaking. "Upon further seeing the future, them helping us in this situation will be difficult."
"What do you mean?" Glynda asked worriedly.
"For starters, they either will not believe me or will cause problems with the plan. Ozpin will try and change the plan while Ironwood wants further investigation on the culprits. And you know how big of an ego Ironwood has." Voltaria explained the situation.
"Yup, pride and stupidity are in his thoughts, plus with a hint of paranoia." Wraith said, earning looks from the group. "Hey, I've seen the guy, he may look strong on the outside, but on the inside, he's paranoid."
"In any case, I believe that they shouldn't be informed." Voltaria said to Glynda. "They won't make things better; they'll make things worse. They can't prevent this, we can, if we play the cards right."
"But…but what do you mean to make things worse? Professor Ozpin can-" Glynda tried to protest but was cut off by Voltaria.
"If he tries to change anything, he'll end up being dead."
Her words sent chills on their spines. Their eyes were widened by this sudden information. Did…did Volatria foresaw Ozpin's…death?
"Y-You saw…O-Ozp-pin…" Yang stuttered but couldn't muster the word.
"Died? Yes, when I searched further through the future, I saw the ones who will die on that horrible day." Voltaria explained before looking at the shock group in front of her. "Professor Goodwitch, I know you think of us as children, but we cannot have anyone else to know about this. Otherwise, the culprits will get suspicious and change their tactics."
"Professor Goodwitch, I think we should listen to Voltaria's plan." Weiss suddenly steps in, surprising everyone, including Voltaria. "I know we're just children to you but…we have to stop this together, even without Professor Ozpin or General Ironwood's help. We can do this on our own."
"I…I don't know. It's too dangerous." Glynda said to them, trying to change their mind.
"We're huntsmen." Ruby suddenly spoke towards the teacher. "We can handle the danger that will come to us and the threat that we're against. We can do this if you let us, please?"
At first, Glynda didn't want to agree to this. She believes that it will risk the lives of the students. They needed the help of the headmaster and the general to fight this threat, but she couldn't stop shaking the feeling about Voltaria's words of Ozpin being killed. She has her doubts about Voltaria's vision ability, but part of her believes that Voltaria is right. If what she meant is true…then she will have to help them without Ozpin or Ironwood knowing about this. Releasing a long sigh, Glynda looked at both Voltaria and Ruby seriously.
"Very well, I will allow this, but don't make me regret this." Glynda warned them. This made everyone, minus Voltaria, smiled at Glynda happily, knowing that they got her support.
"We won't let you down, Professor." Ruby said determinedly.
"I know you won't." Glynda said to her before glancing over to Ripper and Amaryllis. "Just out of curiosity, what kind of dinosaurs are they?"
"Now that she mentioned it, what species are they? By the looks of it, they're not like the ones on display in museums or library books." Blake asked curiously.
"Well, that's because they are a new kind of species of dinosaurs." Tabitha said to them.
"New type of dinosaurs?" Jaune questions her curiously.
"Yeah! Regina was the one the one who gave their species' names." Ruby said to them.
"Really? Can you tell us?" Weiss asked the wise entity.
"Well, of course, it will be my pleasure." Regina said kindly.
"Oh, boy. Here she goes with her wise words of naggingness." Wraith groans in annoyance, earning a glare from Regina.
"As I was saying." Regina turns back to the group, ignoring Wraith. "I gave their scientific names. Amaryllis is known as an Indominus Rex which means Fierce or Untamable King. And Ripper here is an Indoraptor meaning Indomitable Thief."
"Indomitable? What's that?" Nora asked curiously.
"It means impossible to defeat." Ruby answered happily, patting Ripper's neck, which earned a happy purr from the Indoraptor.
"How do you know that?" Weiss asked Ruby.
"Volty told me." Ruby said to Weiss with joy.
"So, you have been getting tutored by here." Yang joked, earning a grin from Ruby.
"Oh, yes, we tutored Ruby to help with her academics since some of her grades are somewhat failing which is math." Regina said with a hint of playfulness.
"Hey! How can I use math in battle!" Ruby protested.
"To calculate how big is the field, how many Grimm are you facing, and how many bullets you have left to last." Voltaria listed out.
"She's right." Blake agreed with Voltaria.
Ruby pouted and crossed her arms in annoyance. Everyone, minus Glynda and Voltaria, laughed by this. Finding it humorous to see Ruby like this. Glynda simply shook her head before she felt a nudge behind her. Turning around, she saw Hannibal holding her Disciplinarian in his jaw. Glynda stared at him in surprise as he gently handed it back to her, which she slowly accepted.
"…Thank you." Glynda said to Hannibal.
"You're…welcome." Hannibal said before going back to the other entities.
Glynda watched him retreat to the others before glancing over to Voltaria, who was stroking Amaryllis's snout gently. She was curious about these dinosaurs, even though they were supposed to be extinct a million of years ago. When Glynda came closer to them, Amaryllis lifted her head a bit to look at Glynda's direction, causing the woman to stop at her tracks as she was being stared by the Indominus Rex in the eye.
"She's observing you." Voltaria said to Glynda, getting the adult's attention. "She wants to know if you are a member of the pack."
"She thinks of that?" Glynda asked Voltaria curiously.
"Yes, and she wants to know if you are a friend or a foe." Voltaria said as she watched as Amaryllis observed Glynda.
Glynda stayed perfectly still as Amaryllis observed her. Amaryllis was curious about Glynda. She has a hint of the scent of their Strict Mother. Was this woman known as Glynda Goodwitch their Strict Mother's caretaker? If so, then she is welcome to their pack. Not too long, Amaryllis started nuzzling Glynda gently, surprising the teacher in the process. She and the others have no idea why she was doing this, but it was rather…adorable.
Then Glynda slowly lifted her hand a bit, withdrawing it quickly when Amaryllis snorted at her hand, but she slowly and hesitantly brought her hand again as Amaryllis allowed Glynda to place her hand onto her snout, which cause the Indominus to purr softly.
"Incredible." Glynda whispers out.
Nora suddenly slides behind Glynda with an excited smile on her face before making her hands into fists. "Can we pet them?"
"…Yes, you can, as long as you are gen-" Voltaria was cut off in mid sentence when Nora zooms past her. "-tle."
Nora was giving Ripper good scratches under his chin, making the Indoraptor purr in delight. Ruby gets off Ripper just in time as he falls on his side while Nora continues scratching under his chin. To him, it was like heaven. He even kicked his legs happily like a dog.
"Awwww, who's a good boy? WHO'S A GOOD BOY?! You are! Yes, you are! You're a good boy!" Nora cooed happily before giving scratches on Ripper's stomach, earning happy growls from the Indoraptor.
"…Huh, that's new." Ruby said.
"I believe that both Amaryllis and Ripper have trusted you all as our pack members." Voltaria said to them before looking at Glynda, who was being nuzzled by Amaryllis. "Especially you, Professor Goodwitch."
"Oh, why is that?" Glynda asked.
"Amaryllis and Ripper knows that you're my…caretaker." Voltaria hesitated the last part.
"D'AAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!" Nora cooed as she clapped her hands together. "That's so cute!"
"Augh! Why can't we just erase their memories!" Wraith complained through everyone's mind.
"Wraith! We already told you that we're NOT doing that to them." Regina scolded at him, which he silently mocks back.
"Erase our memories?" Yang asked in shock and disturbance.
"That or we try to end you guys in the most brutal way, hide your bodies, where carnivores or Grimm can eat your bodies with bones and all, if any of you guys try to betray us." Wraith said, not caring with the shock looks coming to the group and the glare from Regina. Wraith glanced at the wise entity with a blank face as she continued to glare at him. "What? We did that on Red and she didn't say a word."
"So, that's why." Yang mutters while Ruby laughs nervously as she remembers the threat that Wraith gave to her.
"We're not doing that, Wraith. EVER." Regina said to him strictly, earning an annoyed grumble from him.
"Are they always like this?" Yang whispers to her sister.
"Yeah, they always argue, even in Volty's mind." Ruby whispers back.
"Ouch!" Yang whispers out with a cringe.
"Um…just one question." Jaune suddenly raises his hand and everyone turns to him. "If they're dinosaurs…how did they survive the…you know…extinction?"
"That's a really good question. How did they survive?" Wade asked, curious as well.
The others were curious too. They wonder how Amaryllis and Ripper were able to survive the extinction of the dinosaurs. Voltaria slightly turned her head towards Regina, silently telling her to explain the reason why Amaryllis and Ripper survived. Luckily, Regina is connected to her and nodded at Voltaria before she began the explanation.
"True, dinosaurs went extinct billions of years ago. However, there are rumors that there are some dinosaurs that could be alive somewhere in our world." Regina explained.
"You mean those fake publicity stunts con artists use to make a quick buck." Yang stated.
"You saw Amaryllis and Ripper in battle, do you believe that a simple con artist could do that?" Regina asked.
"Touché." Yang points at Regina.
"But we are not talking about the ones that were made by con artists, I was referring to the rumors of recent sightings on impossible places."
"Like five years ago when Atlas ships spotted a strange flying creature that wasn't a Grimm?" Weiss suggested.
"Or a mysterious creature that was spotted near the waters of Vacuo?" Blake added.
"That is correct, those could possibly be prehistoric creatures that were roaming Remnant." Regina explained.
"What do you mean, Regina?" AJ asked the wise entity.
"We believe that there's another continent, far from Remnant's continents." Regina explains, earning a gasp from the group.
"Another continent?" Glynda asked in shock, "But…but that's impossible. Sonars should've picked up any forms of new-"
"That's because the continent where the dinosaurs are, is hidden away." Voltaria said, getting everyone's attention. "I tried to use my foresight to see its location, but neither I nor my entities could find its location. For it remains a mystery and secret from both man and Faunus."
"Daaaannnggg…that's rough." Yang said.
"It is, indeed, that is why we dubbed it the Lost Continent." Regina said.
"Lost Continent? I thought we agreed to call the Savage Lands because it's more badass." Wraith protested.
"No, we all agreed that it is called the Lost Continent." Regina said to Wraith in annoyance.
"She's right." Tabitha agreed.
"Lost Continent..." Hannibal agreed with the name.
"…Traitors." Wraith mutters out to them in annoyance.
"Wraith, that's enough." Voltaria ordered before looking at the group. "Now that you guys are acquainted with Amaryllis and Ripper, you cannot let anyone know about their existence."
"Why?" Jaune asked in confusion as he hesitantly pats Amaryllis's head, who snorted at him.
"Because, Blondie, people who care about money would try to hunt them down or mad scientists would try and experiment them, probably to clone them into the first ever dinosaur soldiers, any more questions?" Wraith listed out rudely.
"…Yeeeaaahhh…I-I think I'll stop talking now." Jaune said awkwardly.
"Wraith has a point…for once." Regina mutters out before continuing. "Though Humans and Faunus cannot know about their whereabouts because it will lead to massive search for the two dinosaurs and put them on display."
"And we do NOT want to have that do we?" Tabitha stated. The group agreed to this. They didn't want Amaryllis and Ripper to be captured, especially Weiss. If her father ever found out about Amaryllis and Ripper's existence, who knows what her will do to them.
"Don't worry, we promise we won't tell anyone where they are." Wade assured before looking at the Amaryllis and Ripper. "I mean, they are kind of cool."
"Yup, cool and creepy hybrids." Wraith mutters out.
Suddenly, everyone, minus Ruby and Voltaria, looked at Wraith in confusion. "Hybrids?"
"Oh, right, we forgot to tell you all that Amaryllis and Ripper have different features, because they are a combination of other carnivorous dinosaurs in their DNA." Regina explained.
"What? Really?" Weiss asked in surprise.
"How can they have different DNA of carnivore dinosaurs?" Yang suddenly asked in confusion.
"We don't know either, but I suggest that either the dinosaurs were getting 'busy' with one another or Mother Nature decided to be 'creative' for once." Wraith said blankly before he noticed the other entities and Voltaria were giving him blank looks while Ruby facepalmed by this. "Oh, don't give me that look. You guys know I'm right."
"What are we going to do with you?" Regina mutters out before sighing as she looks back at the group. "Why don't we take you all back to Beacon before a curtain headmaster finds it suspicious to see you all gone."
"Regina's right, we should head back." Voltaria said in agreement.
Ruby nodded before looking at Amaryllis and Ripper. "Ama, Rippy, go back to the den. We'll visit you guys soon, okay?" She ordered.
To everyone's surprise, the two hybrids nodded before they each nuzzled their mothers happily before heading out, but not before Ripper and Zwei made gentle head bumps before he followed his sister back to their den.
"Their den is close by?" Glynda asked the two girls.
"Yes, but don't worry, no one has spotted it nor them." Voltaria said to her.
"And you are curtain about this?" Glynda questions her.
"I am, because no one dares explore deep beyond the Emerald Forest." Voltaria said to Glynda before snapping her fingers together. "Regina, Wraith, Tabitha, Hannibal, take us back to Beacon."
With that order, the entities turned into shadowy mists, swirling around the group before teleporting them to their destination. They were back at the room and it was untouched. Everyone, except Voltaria, stood there in shock and dizzy. Well, Nora, Ruby, and Jaune were dizzy while the rest were surprised that they got back here in one piece.
"Wow! That was…awesome!" Yang said with a grin. "Let's do that again!"
"Please…don't…" Jaune begged, almost hurling up his lunch.
"Don't worry, the effects of the motion sickness in temporally, you'll be fine." Regina said through Jaune's mind.
"Thanks for the tip, Regina…Regina? Where'd you go?" Jaune asked as he and the others, minus Ruby and Voltaria, searched for her and the other entities. But they weren't here.
"Where'd they go!?" Nora exclaims in shock.
"They're here, actually, but in the shadows." Ruby corrected as she remembered how Volty's entities talked to her through the mind while they were in her shadows.
"Really?" Ren asked curiously.
"Yup! And they communicate through our minds with Volty's." Ruby continued proudly.
"Telepathy…interesting." Glynda said while tapping her Disciplinarian in her hand.
Wraith spoke through their minds. "Yeah, yeah, interesting and what not. Now, go back to your rooms or whatever to get ready for the plan."
"Plan? What Plan?" Pyrrha asked in confusion.
"We prepared the plan to stop those hooligans that will destroy the peace with kingdoms." Regina said next. "You have to play your parts in this plan."
"Oh, we will Regina." Wade said with determination. "Just tell us the plan and we'll be ready."
"Yeah!" Ruby, Yang, and Nora exclaimed in agreement.
Voltaria looked at the determined looking faces of group-no…her friends, as they were ready to face off any challenges. Glynda was also ready to help. Even though she's not showing it, she was there to support in any way to prevent the horrible future from happening. So, with a nod, Voltaria knew that they would be ready for this.
"Here's the plan…"
And done, hope you guys liked it.
