Silence...

It all that filled the room that had been chosen for this sudden meeting. Everyone from the visiting parents/ siblings/ family friends. To the teams, teachers, team RWBY and their allies.

The visitors were on one side. While the rest were on the other side. The only one who sat in between was Xehanort. Still, it was fairly silent. Mostly because of what had just been explained in enough detail by team RWBY. After introductions and such of their summons. The visitor side were simply left to let it reel in. It was Atlan though that finally decided to say something.

"Alright... so let me get this straight. First, it seems that before all this madness. You lot had a hand in getting my daughter hitch to her... fiancé. During the same time, you found HK here. Then after all that happened team RWBY here had one of their members wounded being Weiss. Which then ended up having them discover that Weiss and Blake are cousins thanks to the blood transfusion. Only during all this too, the ones here called Donald and Goofy helped save Weiss after she'd been wounded. Then those two found some gems and gave them to you girls. Which then somehow ended up with all these other people and things popping out. Before you had to face off a horde of Beowulf's. Which leads up us all here now." Atlan explained the best he could. Though his mind was still trying to comprehend all this sudden information. Rubbing his temples he sighed "Did... did I get that mostly right?"

"Pretty much spot on actually. But yeah, that's how it went down Mr. Nikos." Ruby answered

"We would have helped. But it was a headache getting through all those panicking students." Yatsuhashi added in as he sighed some

"Well it's the thought that counts young man. Still Pyrrha deary wouldn't that have been a bad idea for you to help fight since... well you know." Zia asked. As even if she wasn't happy that Pyrrha was pregnant. She was still happy at least she had done so with someone who seemed more than willing to stick by her side

"Actually, she's still good for a bit. But after about a week or so more. Then she'll start feeling the effects of her pregnancy. That said. I'd suggest you Mr. Arc keep an eye on your fiancée for the time. It could come sooner depending." Strange cut in as he eyed the young couple

"Oh ah... thank you... Doctor ah… Strong right?" Jaune responded back. Though couldn't remember the man's name well enough yet

"Strange. Doctor Strange or you can call me Stephen. But I prefer Strange honestly." Strange corrected

"Changing the subject to you Doctor and these others with you. But you all really came from those gems the girls have?" Qrow asked this time as he'd been a bit curious on that

"From what was explained. We all did and I'm gonna be honest I was fucking confused as hell. I mean I wake up on Ethan here, then Albedo starts getting all hoity toity on me. Before Fang and Spear wake up like a minute later." Lucy cut in herself as she smirked at Albedo who scowled back a bit "Also gotta ask Albedo hunny. But that fight. Were you trying at all. Because I swear Fang was kicking you ass by the end of it."

"Hmmm... if you must know Lucy. It was a stalemate. So there." Albedo answered back irritably at that. Though she could tell Lucy was enjoying this, much to her annoyance

"Um not to sound rude myself...b-but is that thing safe?" Terra asked as aside from covering her baby's ears just now crisscross style. She also kept a somewhat tighter hold on little Adrian as she and her wife were seated near the corner. Right near were Fang was sitting down at. That and were Spear sat on Fangs back

"Don't worry. I may have just met them. But I don't think they're the type to attack anyone just because." Blake exclaimed as she gave a side glance to Fang and Spear to at least reassure herself on her statement "Honest."

"I'll guess we'll take your word on it then Miss Belladonna or is it Schnee now. Since we'll you and Weiss are related." Saphron said as she was a little confused on the specifics when it came to the cousins

"Don't remind us..." Winter, Kali and Ghira muttered

"Is it really that bad. I don't know much. Aside from I guess Blake here having cat ear and Weiss not. But is it THAT bad that they're cousin?" Fiore asked now as she was sitting rather comfortably on the shoulder of Mister B. Who seemed to have no issue with doing so. While the dog Caules sat on her own lap happily as Fiore petted the adorable hound

"If you're asking that. I assume you don't know or have faunas in your part of the world. But to put it bluntly. Yes, it is bad." Ghira explained as he could see the girl was just curious and confused on why this was such an issue

"Indeed. The faunas... Ghira is right." Winter exclaimed. Though she was having a hard time accepting these two other faunas here her aunt and uncle "Short explanation here. But humans and faunas have always had a tense relationship. But I, our cousin Victor and Weiss situation makes it worse when it comes to our family as a whole. Since it has been a subject of rumors-"

"Facts... my niece." Kail quickly corrected. As Kali as much as she was a bit in denial herself still. Also knew she might as well accept it and if that meant being stern aunt to her still not fully brainwashed older niece, who could still change. Then this might not be as bad "Just saying is all."

"Of course... auntie." Winter replied back as she oddly had a similar thought process as Kali in some ways. But she had to force herself to say the 'auntie' part "Anyways. The Schnee family has been part of some unsavory facts. Mainly our treatment of faunas employees. You know lack of proper treatment like with our human workers. Labors laws, near basic slavery."

"Well would you look at that. No matter where I am it seems like the corpo's still like screwing everyone else over. Glad to see some things don't change." Lucy bluntly exclaimed as she was giving Winter a somewhat narrowed gaze "Gotta say to sweetie. But you do kind of fit that snooty look too. Least your little sister here seems like she actually has a free mind to use. No offense of course. Well, maybe a bit."

"Funny… real funny." Winter muttered through her teeth as she took a moment to take a deep breath to calm her rising irritation. That and because she saw from the corner of her eye that oaf Qrow holding in a snicker

"You know you ain't helping much with those comment right Lucy?" Ethan whispered to his fellow 'Gem-mate' as it was dubbed for those who came from the same gems

"I know. I know, don't really care though." Lucy mused as she smiled just a little and patted Ethan's shoulder while the bot sighed

"Barely known ya for two days and I can already believe that." Ethan muttered as Lucy chuckled some

But as those two had that quick chat. Winter had calmed herself down enough that she could speak once more to Fiore. As she took a deep breath and cleared her throat to continue.

"Anyways comments aside. To get to back to what I wanted to say. But from I've explained before. As you can see, YES. The mere fact Weiss and Blake here are blood related will cause issues. Which also means I, Victor and Blakes parents here will also now be put under a very scrutinizing eye. A very critical, scrutinizing eye." Winter finished explained as she sighed once more at this whole mess

"Speaking of. How has… father taken the news. Assuming its already caught up to him?" Weiss hesitantly asked. Dreading already the answer she assumed would be as she saw her older sister and her cousin Victor cringe a bit "That bad?"

"Worse. Much worse Weiss. I came over to the manor once I heard the news and when I got there... well I won't way what I overheard him say. But it wasn't pretty. Heck, I'll only tell you two things. You won't like em. But first he's already threatening to rip you out of this school. Second and worse he's ah... he's... um... trying to set you up. Like with matches for you. You know so you can... ugh, keep that good old Schnee legacy going. Since you're the heir." Victor explained. Feeling real bad telling Weiss this when he saw her flinch a little hearing that "Sorry to tell ya cousin."

"I-It's fine Victor. I don't blame you and I n-need to hear this. It's just... just..." Weiss tried to say. Doing her best to keep herself calm and not have a panic attack right now

"A narcissistic and controlling parent. Seen plenty of those sadly, but none that were apparently very rich tycoons." Strange exclaimed as he pitted Weiss. Seeing as the girl seemed very unsettled by what was just said. That and he despised parents like Weiss father

"Yeah. But hey ah…Weiss." Lucy said as Weiss looked to her. Lucy giving the younger girl a small smile "Look I barely know you and stuff. But you seem alright enough. At least to trust mostly. That said, since I'm stuck here. You can ah… count on me to keep you safe. Especially if daddy decides to come himself. Never like old farts like him anyways. So might be fun caving in his face. Heh."

"Hopefully it won't come to that. But either way I'm here for you too Weiss. We're pretty much comrades by this point considering. So I keep an eye on my teammates." Ethan added in as he gave Weiss a nod that he was being sincere "I think everyone can attest to that too."

"They're right Weiss. Besides no one is gonna take my bestie away!" Ruby cheered as she pulled in Weiss for a hug. Much to heirs sudden fluster as such contact she didn't mind much, but she also didn't want to show that she liked it

"R-Ruby let go. Not in the presence of company!?" Weiss pleaded. Doing her best to keep her composure and ignore some of the snickering occurring around her. That and ignoring that rather surprised look her older sister was showing

"Hmmm. NO, besties keep besties safe in bestie hug. BESTIE HUG!" Ruby cheered in her own defiance as she just really wanted to keep a hold on Weiss now. That and keep smelling the slight if not sweet scent of lavender Weiss was giving off

"DOLT!" Weiss whined as she sighed and accepted her fate for the moment at being Ruby's snuggle prisoner

While a few more chuckles occurred. Along with Winter at least being still perplexed at what she had just seen. That and getting a good idea Weiss may have already found someone to be her possible ahem… special spouse in the future. If what she just saw was any indication. If anyone else, especially that drunken fool Qrow noticed. None showed it.

Still as this occurred for a few more seconds. It was Xehanort who cut in and brought the conversation back to the main roots of what was going to happen from here on out.

"Ahem." Xehanort calmly if not loudly said as everyone else looked to him. The older man smiling some as he cleared his throat "Amusing as my granddaughter and her friend are. I believe we should conclude this meeting. That said, for now Ozpin if it works for you. Until the debacle with the sudden Beowulf attack along with the news of the Schnee and Belladonna blood relation pass. We all should stay here for the time. I mean Ozpin, Glynda I'm sure thanks to all that has happened as of these past two days. That many parents may not be willing to send their kids back here yet. Am I not correct there?"

"Didn't have to remind us… but yes. Until everything has been inspected and checked over. We're to stay closed. Which should take up to a month or two anyways. Maybe even longer." Glynda answered as she sighed before face planting against the table with a grumbled "Ugh... the paperwork. Also, ow."

"There, there Glynda. It will be fine." Ozpin stated as he patted Glynda's back a bit. Before he focused on his old teacher "But yes you are correct. It shouldn't be an issue to find rooming for you all and unless any of you are needed elsewhere. We do have the bullhead for those who do need it for at least a week more. So tell us if anything like that comes up in this passing week."

"Good, very good. Now before we finish this off there is ONE more thing I think we all would like to know." Xehanort exclaimed before he stared right at Donald and Goofy "You two."

"Oh ah... u-us?" Donald asked as he flinched a bit from being suddenly singled out like that

"What ya need mister?" Goofy questioned as he was calmer in this aspect. But hoped he or Donald hadn't done anything wrong

"Simple really. I want to know but what you two are really here for?" Xehanort questioned as Donald and Goofy flinched much more at the fact it seemed this man knew they weren't from here. Xehanort simply smirked at the reaction "It's quite obvious really. No faunas we know of has the level of animalistic traits as you two have. That and the fact you clearly show that 'fish out of water' look. That said it can only mean one thing. You two are not from here."

"Um excuse me Mister Xehanort sir…do you mean like…space aliens?" Nora asked out of the blue as Ren sighed a bit at Nora's lack of tact there

"Not that we're saying you're wrong but… um, can you prove it?" Coco chimed in as she sheepishly smiled at the legendary hunter before her

"You may only ask those who are around us. Those just as foreign as the two before you." Xehanort remarked. Looking at the girls summons as they even flinched a bit seeing the old man's yellow and still rather menacing eyes stare at them "No need to lie either. I notice many of you seemed confused on this world. That and I even overheard a few things beforehand. Phrases and such that I know never were part of this world either."

"If what you say is true. How would you have come to that conclusion in the first place sir?" Fiore asked as she wondered how in roots name this man was related to Ruby and Yang. They looked friendly, while Xehanort though nice so far also was rather intimating even in his old age

"A good question young lady. But to answer… well simply I am like you all. Not of this world." Xehanort stated as he sighed already sensing the shock of those from this world

"Wait what?!" Winter, Velvet, Jaune, Atlan, Qrow and Tai Yang shouted at the sudden statement out of everyone else

"Genuine Surprise: Hm. I didn't expect that to be utter today and by two of my mistress's grandfather of all people." HK-97 muttered as he already made note to keep an eye on the old man just in case. Grandfather to his mistress Ruby and Yang or not. HK-97 wasn't gonna risk it, not at all

"Wait grandpa what do you mean. Y-You've lived here your whole life?!" Ruby asked as she and Yang were obviously the most shocked by that

"Yeah grandpa. Y-You're just joking right?" Yang asked next as she wondered what that meant if this was true. The rest around meanwhile stayed quiet. Though also were surprised also to hear such a statement

"I'm afraid not Yang. It's complicated. But I'm indeed from another world all together. When I was a young man, I had been born and raised in a quaint small village. It wasn't bad, nor boring. But I in my youth was much more headstrong and prone to making ahem… mistakes. My biggest one was finding a way to leave my world all together. To explore and learn. Sadly when I did achieve such a power to do so. If not by means that I am ashamed of now that I look back on it. I was attacked by creatures and ended up crashing into this world. Barely alive at that too. Until my wife, your grandmother came and found me." Xehanort explained before taking a moment and smiled back on the memory "She saved my life and offered me a place to stay since I had no means of currency back then. She was rather annoying at first. But eventually we fell in love and then had my daughter Summer later on. The rest is bliss filled history."

As Xehanort finished explaining. The others all were silent. Though the summons if effected by this truth or not didn't show it. The natives of this world were plenty shocked meanwhile by such a revelation. One that they knew, especially the girls knew had to be true. After all that had occurred so far ever since that crazy dream from back then up to now. There was no way they could deny the fact that Xehanort was being honest. After a bit more silence it was Victor who finally spoke up.

"I… I gotta admit. That's something. But now I think on it does makes sense. Whenever your hunter's registry was brought up. The dates always seemed off a bit." Victor exclaimed with a sigh "How?"

"I have friends young man. But don't worry, I only ever called upon them to help me with the forging of my origins for here." Xehanort answered with a half-smile

"Um okay as shocking as this sounds but ah… w-what does that have to do with Donald and Goofy?" Blake asked out of the blue. Though wondering now if she and the girls were cursed somehow with all the weirdness lately

"Everything. Because if I'm correct, you four did have THE dream. Didn't you?" Xehanort asked as he became much more serious suddenly

"The dream. Wait you ask about that earlier too, what does that hav-" Weiss began to ask before the older man quickly cut her off

"Because I had the same dream. The day I was almost killed by those creatures. The ones from the dream you had." Xehanort answered as a few uneasy memories came back from that faithful day that changed his life forever

"Wait, wait just a minuet now!" Kali, fed up with all the vagueness and oddness of this conversation shouted. As she slammed her hands on the table and shot up from her seat "Look I don't what's going on. But all I CAN tell is that my daughter and her friends are in some sort of danger or something. What's with that?!"

"I think we'd all like to know sir. Most of us are pretty lost right now and it's not really helping that your being so vague." Terra stated as she and the others who'd kept quiet so far nodded in a quick agreement "See?"

"That I understand, but if so. Then Donald, Goofy." Xehanort said as he looked at the odd duo once more with a kinder smile "By your earlier reactions. I can assume there are rules to not mention the existence of other worlds or to meddle in them. But if that's the case, then right now you may need to break that rule. I beseech you to do so. The more that is known the better we all can be for when the inevitable comes."

The two looked at one another seeming conflicted. Sure, Donald and Goofy knew the rules but despite that. They knew too that their king, who also knew said rules. At times would break them without hesitation. That and they had needed to find the keys and everything pointed to team RWBY. Their Pokedex sensors went off the first time they were near the girls. So it only made sense. Still they knew they had to spill it as the situation had gotten way out of hand already. Looking back ahead, Donald cleared his throat before speaking.

"Guess we will. But trust us, it's a bit of a story and it might be hard for you to believe. Even now." Donald answered before he started to explain what was really going on

It went by somewhat slow at first as Donald and Goofy though explaining it all or at least what they knew. Had to think of a few examples to explain to the natives that helped their minds understand certain subjects easier. Thankfully a few of the more well taught summons and Xehanort chimed in to help also make sense of it from time to time.

Still, once things became less tense and everyone became a bit more at ease with one another. At least when it came to sharing some secrets. Donald and Goofy, mainly Donald though. Began to explain in more detail of who they were, where they were from and why they came here. To be honest the last answer had been rather unsettling for the natives mainly.

Then the summons were questioned and each answered the truth that none of them were of this world. After seeing what those who witness the summons in action had done two days ago. It was a bit easier to believe them that was for sure.

Afterwards the girls decided to come clean and explain some of the oddities surrounding them so far. As they shared about their dream. How details it was and even that cryptic message. That and they mentioned creatures rather similar to the one's Xehanort had fought when he apparently was younger and crashed into this world nearly dead.

After all was said one done. The girls of team RWBY did ask yet again for their own reassurance. That they had heard correctly when Donald had said their king. Had sent them to find 'Four keys, held by four young ladies'. When Donald and Goofy both confirmed they had heard right that was the nail in the coffin for the girls. As each had no idea on WHY this was happening to them all of sudden. By the end everyone who'd been listening, even those of the summons more knowledgeable about this sort of thing were left perplexed.

"So I guess that's that." Donald finished explaining. Though he felt bad for the girls as each of them were rather quiet

"We really are sorry. We honestly didn't know it would be them. Until our friend Dex caught wind of em." Goofy added in. As he too felt bad for the girls. But also the parents, sibling and friends of theirs that seemed worried for the girls more than ever

"It's…it's fine. Just not what any of us were expecting. That and the fact dad here is…well you know." Tai-Yang exclaimed with a small sigh as he felt the need to just take a nice warm bath right about now

"Agreed. But…um, does it have to be these four. I know they're training to be huntresses and from what that video of their fight showed. They are capable. But they're still just kids." Zia asked as she could only imagine what the parents and sibling of the girls were feeling after hearing all that

"Sorry miss. The kings explained that the keys pick their wielders. Not the other way around sadly." Goofy chimed in as he gave the woman a small half smile

Though as it was silent once more. Mainly because no one knew what to say now since the mood wasn't quite one to just start up conversation again. Suddenly Winter shot up from her seat, slamming her hands against the table. Oddly in a similar manner Kali had done a bit ago. As her face seemed that of full determination.

"Alright then… if what you said is true." Winter started to say as she eyed Donald and Goofy "Then I'm helping and the girls here are gonna get a dose of Atlas Military Training."

"Huh?" Everyone else aside from those silent or barely able to understand said. Confused on the sudden declaration, but Winter just rolled her eyes and sighed

"What, don't be so surprised. If these so called heartless are going to attack one way or another. Then it would be best if we help the girls out and get reinforcements ready if they're going to attack here first. Wouldn't it be the best for everyone if we helped out?" Winter explained as she crossed her arms

"You know what. The lady here has got it right. Sure the girls are supposed to be these keys. But that don't mean we can't help. So we're gonna. Heck yeah were gonna!" Coco chimed in herself as she stood up now from her seat. Before smiling at team RWBY "Don't worry girls, big sis Coco has got your backs!"

"Well if she's doing it so will I. Summon or not, my world or not. I'm a solider and I have duty to protect those who can't be protected." Ethan chimed in now. As he stood up before looking to his fellow summons "I know most of ya know or get what I'm saying. But come on. What we gotta lose if we help right?"

"Hm, good point... ah screw it. I'm in." Lucy mused as she stood up as well. Shrugging as she half smiled "Sides better than sitting around and well… I may like you lot some. Better than most other people I DID know. So that's a bonus. Albedo how bout you or are you too snooty to help?"

"I will ignore that this one time human. But I might as well too… even if I don't have much care for lesser beings. Blake here IS my summoner, so if she dies I might also. So if I can help her and her little group with something to keep them alive. All the better for me." Albedo answered rather bluntly and coldly

"Glad to see you care Albedo." Strange exclaimed as he already wasn't too fond of Albedo because of her rather patronizing and apathetic personality. But would work with her either way, at least he liked the rest plenty enough. So he stood up now too "I was hero back in my world. But that doesn't stop just at my world. I will do my best to help train the girls and to help with fending off the heartless. That I solemnly swear."

"I would stand myself, but you know. Sitting on Mister B will have to do." Fiore finally said after being quiet for so long here. Then again all of what she had learned and heard was a lot to take in. For her at least, still she smiled "On my honor as mage of the Yggdmillennia clan. I will help as best I can myself. Beside like a few here, I've come like you all. You've been so kind and welcoming when you didn't need to be. That and I can pet this super adorable doggy. Isn't that right Caules, who's a good boy!"

"Arf, ruff!" Caules barked happily as he wagged his tail while loving the head scratches Fiore was giving him

"Good boy. Oh and Caules probably said he was for this too. So goodie!" Fiore happily cheered as this was a rare moment for her. But she was in a different world that didn't follow her own worlds rules. So she was gonna take it for what it was and enjoy this sense of freedom

"Grrahhhhaa….hrrrhhhaaa!" Mister B growled lowly. Moving his hand over Ruby's head and despite his size. Gently patted the top of Ruby's head, with a gentleness that was unheard of before moving his hand back "URRAGGGH!"

"Is that a….?" Ghira asked covering his normal ears a bit as his wife and daughter defiantly did with their cat ears for a few seconds

"I think it's a yes Mr. Belladonna." Ruby answered as she smiled at the metal giant and the dog who were willing to help too. Before she remembered Spear and Fang. Looking to Blake seconds later since they were technically her summons "Um Blake, could you ask them…"

"Already on it… little sis." Blake teased a bit as Ruby flinched for a moment hearing that. But had a feeling it was a bit of teasing back for when she called Blake sis the other day. Blake though made her way up and moved closer to the duo of her own as they stared back at her "Spear, Fang. I don't know if you already or even really understand me much. But we may need help. Some very bad things and creature are going to harm us. HARM us, attack… do… do you understand?"

"…" Spear didn't say at first as he seemed to be trying to understand what Blake was saying. He gave Fang a look as the T-Rex growled in way that seemed to say 'Whatever you decide'. Well, that was the guess at least. Still Spear seem to be thinking and after a few more seconds he made a small smile "Ugrah, grah!"

"Does that mean….?" Blake asked as she just wanted to make sure she was understanding what Spear was trying to convey

"GRAHHHH!" Spear roared with the best smile he could muster. Though it seemed he either wasn't use to smiling like he was now or he never did in the first place. He even shook his spear a bit like a way to convey 'I'm in!' to Blake

"RAHHHH!" Fang roared meanwhile as she wagged her tail a bit like a way of showing she too was with them and meant no harm

"Yes…yes... that's a yes I guess." Blake said through her teeth. Barely able to cover her cat ears as they rung a bit from how loud it was and form how close she'd been. Calming herself, she looked back to the others with a thumbs up and half smile "Yes they're in… ow my ears."

"Agreed…." Kali groaned as she rubbing her cat ears from where she was sitting while her husband rubbed her back

"At least Adrian didn't seem to mind." Saphron stated as she and her wife Terra rubbed their ears a bit too. While Adrian in Terra's lap still, well…

"Hehe, hahaha!" Adrian in baby like glee cheered as he clapped. Spear seeing this smiled a bit, more somberly but still smiled a little at the baby boys cheer

"Anyways. If everyone else is doing this. Then I'm in too, papa's gonna help his baby girls and their friends!" Tai-Yang cheered. Though Ruby and Yang groaned a bit at the many nicknames their father still called them. All according to plan for the older man, as he loved messing with his girls from time to time

"And to make sure this idiot doesn't go too far with the teasing or worse… start with his puns. I'll stick around. That and to spend time with my nieces of course." Qrow chimed in standing up now too as he smirked towards his brother in law who rolled his eyes, but smirked back

"And if they're staying. I sure am. I might be retired from the hunter business. But I still know my stuff." Atlan exclaimed proudly standing up as he eyed Jaune "That and to make sure the boy with my girl doesn't flake out last minute."

"Then I'm staying too. To make sure you don't get to gruffy with my baby brother." Saphron remarked as she crossed her arms looking at her baby brother "That and to also make sure you don't get cold feet either Jaune."

"Thanks sis… really thanks." Jaune groaned as he knew his sister would say that, his overprotective if not blunt sister

"And we'll help keep an eye on them as well." Ren for once teased as he couldn't pass this up. It was too good NOT to indulge in

"Yeah and if he does get cold feet. I'll break his legs and we do a shotgun wedding!" Nora cheered a little TOO happily at the mention of leg breaking

"WHY?" Jaune questioned as he knew the answer already. But he swore his team was an odd one, that and he did not pass it by Nora to NOT break his legs if he did think of flaking out last minute. Not that he would, he wasn't that type of guy. But Nora was a girl of her word and he knew she would break his legs. Friends or not. Again she was just that type of gal

"Hehe. Well, that's just our friends being our friends." Pyrrha mused as Jaune sighed but smile in agreement with Pyrrha there

"If it means much. I think I'll be staying and helping as well for sure. Besides I need to make sure my hubby doesn't go TOO far with his whole stern dad shtick." Zia mused. Sweetly smiling and patted Atlan's left arm as the older man sheepishly smiled knowing how his wife could be

"Same when it comes to my dear Saphron. She can be a bit TOO overprotective that's for sure." Terra mused as she smirked at her wife, who sheepishly chuckled while their child Adrian chuckled a bit also "That and Adrian here will want to get to know his soon to be Auntie Pyrrha anyways. That and he's been missing Jaune. He is his favorite and only uncle after all."

"And you can't leave me out. I'm helping with the security around here and I'll get to finally use my catchphrase if we get into a fight!" Victor remarked with a big smile as Weiss and Winter groaned in irritation knowing what their cousin meant

"Oh no, NO. You don't mean..." Weiss began to say. But saw the smile on her cousin's face and knew he meant 'THAT' catchphrase

"You beat ya Weiss. You and Winter know you loved hearing it whenever we sparred!" Victor answered in pride

"I am so confused?" Blake stated as she had no idea what her cousins were getting all worked up about

"Trust us once you hear it you'll understand." Winter simply answered as she pitted Blake knowing she was now to be subjected to their cousin stupid catchphrase

"What do you mean. What does he say?" Blake yet again asked

"No Blake don't-" Weiss tried to warn. But it was too late, Victor had heard and was more then willing to answer

"Simple Blake. When I get a chance to finally get into a fight some Grimm heartless or even bandits in a public area. With eyes on me seeing being all cool and heroic. I'mma beat them senseless when I give them a big old..." Victor said as he right arm suddenly transformed into a cannon as an energy blast shot out and through the roof "BOOYAH!"

A few seconds after silence came over as everyone just stared at Victor who was ever so prideful with his big old smile. Then his arm transformed back to normal as he sat back down.

"So what do you think. Pretty cool right?" Victor asked Blake, as Blake just stared and stared. Before she focused on Weiss and Winter

"Why..." Blake whined before she grumbled and slammed her face against the table

"Because Blake... just because he can..." Weiss answered back as she patted Blakes back. While Winter still wondered on why her cousin insisted on that stupid catchphrase

Everyone else just kept quiet still. So very quiet as they had no idea what to even say to this and ignoring the fact there was now a hole in the roof. Thankfully Kali though feeling her daughter and nieces pain at hearing her nephew's stupid catchphrase. That and doing her best not to groan when she saw her husband giving Victor a thumbs up. As he seemed to like the catchphrase. She decided to break the ice as she coughed loudly getting everyone's attention.

"ANYWAYS. That aside and back to the main conversation. But I think we can just agree we're all gonna for sure stay and enjoy the time here. That and help with what we can when it comes to team RWBY. Along with making preparations for whenever this heartless invasion is gonna happen. Does that sound good to everyone?" Kali quipped, as those who hadn't spoken and had already, nodded in agreement. Seeing this she smiled in relief "Good. Now if you don't mind. But can someone please point us to our rooms now. After hearing all this insanity and that rather... nice catchphrase by my nephew, I need a good nap."

"Preach!" Velvet, Winter, Yatsuhashi and Glynda at least agreed with as they all yawned moments after from how tiring this all had been so far today

"Kindly Offer: If my mistresses would like me too. I can take them all to their rooms. I have memorized the layout of this school and know every vacant room during, and before this sudden situation with the attacking Beowulf horde. If again, my mistresses would care for me to do so." HK-97 offered as he was still trying this being more friendly thing outside his comfort zone

"I think that will be fine HK. Right girls?" Ruby happily said

"Agreed." Weiss and Blake replied back, while Yang simply nodded back

"And there we go. HK you are free to lead the others to their rooms for the time. Um, but ah. Glynda would you accompany him while he does so. Just so he know which rooms you and Ozpin exactly are giving them please." Ruby said

"That I can do. Come now HK let's show our guests to their rooms. While we do that, I can explain a few other things." Glynda said. Getting up now as she motioned the guests to follow behind. HK-97 getting up beside her seconds later as the other guests did as well

Once they were gone, it left only the three pairs of teams, Xehanort, Donald, Goofy, the summons and Ozpin alone. It was silent for a few moments. Before Ozpin cleared his throat, stood back up and spoke.

"Well since that's going on. I will kindly be making my own way out too. May I ask team CFVY, JNPR and those of you called now summons to accompany me. I believe team RWBY would like to have a few words with Donald and Goofy. Along with Xehanort as well." Ozpin exclaimed as he looked to team RWBY who seemed hesitant for a few moments. Before nodding in silent agreement "Ah thought so. Now please everyone else. Come along, we all need to go over a few things that will be needed to be done for the foreseeable future."

Ozpin without a second more made his way off. The other two teams of teens and the summons took a moment, some following quicker than others. But all eventually said a quick 'goodbye' or 'see you later'. Before exiting the room too. Once they were gone. All that was left was team RWBY, Xehanort, Donald and Goofy. It was silent though. Before finally Donald spoke up to break the awkwardness.

"So… um-" Donald began to say before Weiss cut him off

"Why didn't you tell us?" Weiss asked sternly but with a hint of disappointment there as well. Which hurt more than if it was simply just anger "Because. Even if we've only known you both for about two days. We did trust you a lot already, so it kind of hurts you didn't tell us something THIS important."

"Yeah. Though that said, no offense to Ruby and Yang. But maybe their grandfather could have told us too. Since apparently he has experienced the same as us with the dream." Blake exclaimed as she and the girls the focused on the old man "No offense of course."

"And none taken young lady. Honest. I'll admit too, I should have been more active in this case. But until now there was no reason to utter my past. It didn't really matter honestly to me and by the time the girl's grandmother had passed away. I counted myself more of part of Remnant then ever my original world." Xehanort calmly explained but sighed as he focused on his granddaughters "But I am deeply sorry for keeping this from you both as well. Truly I am my dears."

"It's… it's fine grandpa. But can I ask. Did mom know about…" Yang started to ask as she and Ruby had wondered if their mother Summer had known

"No. I was going to tell her. But then… you know." Xehanort answered with a sigh as even now the painful memory of learning that his daughter had passed still felt fresh

"Guess that would make it hard grandpa. Still, can you tell us anymore about your home world or well just in general the you from back then. I mean when does anyone ever learn their grandpa is from another world ya know?" Ruby mused trying to bring the mood back up

"If I could I would. But sadly it's been so long I can't remember much of my original home. All I do know is what I said before, that it was a small and quaint village. Though if I had to think more on it. I do recall it was a fishing village. We live in dock like homes. Again quaint, just not where I had wanted to spend the rest of my life at. Oh and if you saw me then to now, you'd think we were two completely different people. I was brash, a bit rude and head strong. Your grandmother was able to hammer out the rude part mostly. But she liked my other two more noticeable traits. Ah good times back then." Xehanort explained. Smiling fondly at the end from the better memories. Before he pulled back his focus to the girls "Other than that there isn't much more I can say. I do apologize."

"It's fine. Thanks for telling us grandpa. Really thank you." Ruby cheerfully thanked. While Yang nodded in full agreement there. Then Ruby turned her focused back on the other two boys here "Still you two aren't off the hook yet. I'm still upset you didn't say anything before."

"We really are sorry Ruby. But we didn't want to stress ya out." Goofy apologized first

"Yeah. After what's been going on these past two days. We didn't want to make feel anymore stresses out then you already were. Honest." Donald added in as he gave the girls an apologetic smile

"I guess that does make sense. BUT please don't do it again okay?" Blake stated sternly as the boys nodded back. Seeing this, she could tell they were being honest there. Still she sighed some more "Still. Are you sure it's us. I mean sure we had that dream like Xehanort here. But... I… I just don't see it. How me and the girls are apparently special. Like chosen ones or what not."

"Well much as ya don't want to hear it. But you're them, Dex said so." Donald stated sympathetically as he could tell the girls weren't very fond of the sudden revelation

"Okay before anything else. Who's Dex?" Yang asked this time

"Oh this little guy!" Goofy happily answered as he pulled out Dex and showed it to the girls as Weiss took the odd device from Goofy's hands "The king used that little guy during his own trip. Least that's what Queen Minni said."

"Huh… this looks so odd and old. Yet out of this world." Weiss exclaimed before she glanced at Yang quickly "No PUN intended Yang!"

"Aw. Way to ruin it Weiss, such killjoy at times. Ya know that?" Yang remarked huffing a bit as she knew Weiss wasn't one for much fun even now. But she took her mind off that and looked at the Dex too "So... how's it work?"

"Just open it. Dex will introduce himself." Donald explained as the girls did just that as Weiss opened Dex after a few seconds of figuring out how to do so

"Greetings, I am Dex. Personal Journal and Handheld Guide, how may I be of service?" Dex politely asked

"Okay that's pretty neat." Ruby quipped as the others just nodded in agreement Though Weiss decided to answer back

"Well Dex. Nothing at the moment, we simple were looking over your functions is all. Thank you." Weiss answered politely

"You are welcome ma'am. Logging current session out." Dex stated before shutting off once more as Weiss closed the cover over it

"Well I have to say. But I think I'll take your word that Dex was the one that spotted us. Despite his somewhat outdated appearance. I can tell it or he's rather smart. So he probably spotted us somehow with a feature installed in his systems." Weiss said as she handed Dex back to Goofy "Thanks again for letting us see Dex."

"Welcome Weiss." Goofy happily replied back

"Anyways. I guess that's all for now. But since everyone else is staying here, grandpa here included. Donald, Goofy since you said you're supposed to stick with us. Would you like to train with us too. You know so we can get a good idea how to work as a team?" Ruby asked. As she was feeling better then she had in a while since that dream, despite the news of her and the girls specialness

"Sure. But go easy on us a bit, we're gonna take some time getting use to ya on how you work team wise." Donlad exclaimed

"But don't worry gals were fast leaners!" Goofy chimed in before saluting and hitting his head a bit too hard as he cringed for a moment. Then rubbed his forehead. The girls chuckled some, while Donald sighed and Xehanort was just smiling a little

"Well since we've all come to know how things are to go. I'll help the best I can too, I maybe retired. But you never lose the skills." Xehanort stated before getting back up as Ruby and Yang got up quickly. Then moved to him to make sure he didn't fall over. Seconds later as he was on his two feet once more, he pated the top of his granddaughter's heads "Thank you girls. Such caring granddaughters I have."

"Hehe. No problem grandpa." Ruby mused as Yang smiled. Before Ruby let out a sigh of relief "You know for once since these past few weeks after the dream. I feel at ease. Let's enjoy it people!"

With a cheer from Ruby, everyone else smiled back feeling similarly. But as they did Ruby started wondered how hard things would be for the next few weeks to maybe even the rest of the year possibly. That and she wondered if they'd find these keys by then.

Oh well, wasn't like the heartless were gonna attack again anything soon.

She hoped at least…

It had been quite the few past five days so far...

At least for the girls of team RWBY since starting up with some training that apparently Winter, Atlan and Victor had cooked up for them. A sort of super painful shortcut so they could build up their endurance and general fitness quicker than they would have with their four years at Beacon. Donald and Goofy would have joined, but they were busy today getting to their ship they came in and then parking it in the hanger bay at Beacon.

Still, that aside this training regimen was going to be and so far was pretty painful for the girls. As currently Winter was standing on a podium in the center of a quickly made circular track. One wide enough that when running around it. Two times could be considered count as a mile.

Today's distance was from the two miles used for the past three days of the five. To now six miles. With the girls made to keep up the pace with each other. If one slacked behind, then the rest would have to slow down their pace. That wouldn't so bad if and only if Victor thanks to Doctor Strange suggesting it. BUT if only for the fact they were also being timed.

"COME ON LADIES. MOVE IT. MOVE THOSE LEGS!" Winter now in her drill sergeant mode screamed as she was wearing casual gym clothing or at least her old Atlas military fatigues she'd packed. Using a megaphone to amplify her orders "MOVE IT. LETS LOSE THAT FAT LADIES!"

"W-Weiss, your sister is…. is a freaking psycho!" Ruby screamed as she was placed in the front of the group. Wearing like the others of her team for the time. Some spare Atlas military fatigues that for some reason Winter always packed on every trip she went on; some may ask why but maybe it was better not to know the answer. Still Ruby despite her higher endurance was still having trouble considering "So… SO MUCH RUNNING!"

"I know!" Weiss whined. As she was placed in the back of the group since she had the least amount of endurance. Still she had known it would be rather stressful on them. But she didn't expect it to be so soon "WHY, WHY WINTER?!"

"NO PAIN NO GAIN WEISS. NOW RUN SHORTY!" Winter screamed back as Weiss whined some more now having her height being used against her

"Blake… if I die a-after this… remember m-me for my puns. UGH!" Yang stated as she was supposed to be the tough one here. Yet she too was in distressing fatigue herself as she was placed in front of Weiss, but behind her girlfriend Blake. As she started at said girlfriend's backside for some sort of moral booster "But… at least I die. Staring at that…b-belladonna booty!"

"YANG!" Blake screamed as she felt her lungs burning. But she just had to yell at her girlfriend for saying such a private if not flattering compliment in front of the others

"BELLADONNA BOOTY!" Yang screamed like a war cry. Before she tripped over on her left foot and face planted against her girlfriends back as they both stumbled onto the ground

Then as Yang and Blake hit the ground. Blake by accident grabbed Ruby's ankle as the girl face planted into the ground too seconds later. While Weiss was surprised by this, and tripped over Yang, before landing back first against Blakes back. Then bottom last against Ruby's legs. All four girls groaning in pain at the sudden stop. Winter watching sighed as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Of all the… well it's the first week so I expect this." Winter muttered. Before she went on the megaphone again "ALRIGHT GIRLS. JUST… just lay there for a few. Quick break!"

"Thanks…" Team RWBY groaned as they just decided to do just that, since it was better than nothing. That and totally not because their bodies felt like they just shut down from pure exhaustion. No that would be silly... just silly

Though as this all occurred. On the side lines was one Terra in a clean extra pair of clothing similar to what she usually wore. In her arms was Adrian who was happily petting the head of one of Ruby's summons, the dog Caules. With the two were Nora, Fox and oddly Spear. All of them wanting to watch just because. Well Spear was a different story since he was just here already when the others had arrived.

Everyone else outside this current group were either helping out with plans for the heartless invasion that would come one way or another. Which was Glynda, Tai-Yang, Ozpin, Xehanort, Doctor Strange, Ghira and Zia oddly. But it seemed these past three days for them had been going on well enough on their part.

Or they were helping upping the security systems of the school, which was mainly Lucy since she said and quote 'Was bored, hacked into the school systems. Was WAY too easy, software is total shit. I'mma do this better because might as well.'. Again Lucy's words. She was also helping out Victor, HK-97 and Ethan when it came to reprogramming a good dozen loaned Atlas Knights the school kept in storage. To spot and take out not only Grimm, but heartless too. Ethan even showing Victor some schematics of his own model series. Alongside HK-97 also implement in said Atlas Knights some of his own schematics. Not just for the school but for general use.

Or came to those who were helping with the heavy lifting. By that mainly with helping make a new sturdy outer and inner wall around the school itself. Those being Mister B, Fang who had to be convinced with the help of Spear to help out, Yatsuhashi, Ren, Fox, Albedo if only because she was teased by Lucy into doing so and finally Coco.

While finally the rest were also doing one thing or another around the school. Be it a certain set of parents and older sister; conversing with a soon to be wedded couple. Or one uncle taking a nap or even a cat mother making some baked goods for everyone else. Alongside a few of the summons who didn't have anything to do currently. That being one wheelchair bound girl, one quiet boy and one bunny girl.

All in all again everyone was doing something in some way. But back to those here. As the ones from this world couldn't help but either sigh or chuckled at the sight of team RWBY. Still, they did pity team RWBY. At least those that could express such emotions.

"Oh… first wipe out in the past three days. That's gotta sting their pride a bit." Nora mused as she cringed a bit seeing team RWBY wipe out like they had

"Agreed, especially Ruby and Yang. They both face planted into the dirt." Fox exclaimed as he crossed his arms "But then again. Winters been pushing them hard these last three days. When she said she was gonna instill some military discipline into them. I didn't think she'd go all out."

"Well considering what Donald and Goofy explained about the whole heartless stuff and the other worlds; and the girls role in it. I guess she just thinks this is the best way to get them prepped. I don't care for it much, but I do understand." Terra chimed in as she frowned some since her motherly instincts were flaring up "It's funny in a way. One day my little Adrian here is gonna be just as old as them and you both. I always have a fear at what he'll have to deal with one day and if anything, he's probably gonna be a hunter like his uncle."

"I can see it, no offense. But it seems Adiran like Jaune lots. He must be a fun Uncle to have around." Nora stated as she scooted a bit closer to the dog Caules and petted him some alongside Adiran

"Jaune is. Though I'm still pretty upset that he got Pyrrha pregnant at such a young age. Heck I was barely thirty when I finally asked his sister Saphron to marry me and then had Adiran a year later!" Terra in slight frustration stated and huffed some. Before she realized she did so in company and cleared her throat a bit awkwardly "Ahem. Sorry. I just care a lot about the boy. He was always a sweet one when me and his big sister were dating. So I see him as the little brother I never had. That and I always wanted a little brother so there's that too."

"It's fine Terra honest. We were all surprised when we got the news, but we promised to help out too. We're all family!" Nora cheered while tickling Adiran a bit as the baby chuckled at the interaction from the funny ginger haired girl

"And that's a promise Terra. Here at Beacon, we have a motto. 'Hunters always have each other's back. No matter what.' That's a motto at least my team, team JNPR and team RWBY live by." Fox exclaimed as he gave the older woman a thumbs up "And that motto extends to the families of fellow hunters and huntresses. So again don't worry much we got you back. You, your wife and your boy here."

"Hahaha!" Adrian chuckled some as Nora was making goofy faces at him now, while Terra holding her son smiled at the statement and realization that Fox was being serious there

"I... thank you. You, Nora and everyone else here. I think I can say were glad to be part of this family." Terra replied back kindly as she smiled some more at the two teens before her. Then she eyed the only one who seemed to be just watching the girls grovel on the ground still, Spear. Though the man and his pet T-Rex made her nervous still. She did wonder about the man a bit "Hm. Do any of you wonder if there's more to Spear here then what we've seen so far?"

"You mean side from being a rather good, if not brutal kind of fighter?" Fox answered first as he eyed Spear a bit as the man. He was hard to get a read on and not just because he was just some kind of wild man

"That or the fact he can't speak any kind of english and came with a super cool giant lizard of death!" Nora quipped while giving Adrain a pat on the head as she eyed Spear for a moment who himself was still petting Caules on the head who was happily wagging his tail

"Yes those and few more reasons. I'm just curious is all." Terra explained as she could at least tell that he wasn't a mindless violent person most of the time. Aside from fighting it seemed if those good few dozens of leaked videos was any indication of that

But as Terra began to wonder more of some of the other so called 'summons' of team RWBY out of pure curiosity. Suddenly something came in passed her so quickly and the others that she barely registers the wind passing by her face. But it became horrifying when she felt or in the case didn't feel a certain someone in her arms anymore.

A second later and her panic set in when she heard a sudden wail of fear; and looked to where the thing has passed her seeing that it was a Grimm. A rare one that was known as a Terror Hawk. That had in its talons or holding at least, her baby boy as the large bird flew off into the Emerald Forest.

"ADRIAN!" Terra screamed as she was wide eyed in horror as just then everyone else suddenly took notice of the distress mother

All aside from Spear and Caules who seconds after this happened, already sprinted into the forest chasing the Terror Hawk. Determined to get Adrian back. The two having a sudden and decisive goal to do this without even having a second thought. Well, more on Spears part and maybe Caules considering the dog seems more smarter than most.

But as the two ran and ran through the forest, deeper and deeper. Passing by other Grimm that lived in the forest and leaving most confused on what they even saw before going back to whatever they had been doing in their simple lives. Spear and Caules kept on the Terror Hawks trail.

As they continued Spear stopped for a moment and looked around to see which way the Terror Hawk went after losing the trial suddenly. Thankfully Caules seemed to have a good nose, as seconds later the hound barked loudly before running off towards the scent he caught. Spear having a good idea followed behind the hound and before either knew it. They saw the Terror Hawk dead and being swallowed by a large bear like Grimm or to the natives an Ursa.

The Ursa was just finishing up eating the Terror Bird. Before turning its gaze upon a weeping Adrian. Without any hesitation it began walking closer to baby boy to eat him. Only to feel a sudden stab in the back as it roared in pain. As Spear had darted right into the fray and now began attacking the Ursa with vicious intent as the large Grimm tried flinging him off.

Caules meanwhile without having to be told ran up and picked up Adrian by the shirt. The baby still small enough he could easily be carried. As the hound did so, Spear now on the Ursa's back knew he had to signal the dog to run away.

"Urrgah, rah, grah!" Spear roared as he finally got hit by the Ursa and rolled on the ground with a slight deep cut on his right shoulder and right side of his body. Blood already was coming out as he stood back up ignoring the pain as he looked a Caules once more "URAHHHH!"

Caules again showed that he was rather smarter the most dogs. As he seemed hesitant to leave Spear alone. But knew that he had to if only to keep Adrian safe and the baby probably shouldn't see any more death then he already had. So, Caules began to make a run for it passed the Ursa who spotted them. It would have attacked right then and there if not for Spear who stabbed it in its side. Swiping at Spear who dodged the attack. Before the wild man despite his fresh wounds, narrowed his eyes and held his spear in both hands.

"GRRRRAHHHHHH!" Spear roared before he started to charge to Ursa with the full intent to kill

"RRRAAWWWRRR!" The Ursa ran back as its own intent to kill was in full gear

So as the two charged each other and quickly collided. The Ursa already was clawing Spears back as blood was pouring out from the wounds. While Spear despite the pain he was feeling. Was repletely stabbing the Ursa in the right side. Only to feel his left shoulder to get bitten by the Ursa as its teeth were slowly shredding his flesh. But Spear yet again wasn't one to go easy even if most others would at this point. As he growled before stabbing his spear now into the side of the Ursa's neck. The stone tip slowly going in as the Ursa did it's best to make sure that didn't happen.

But as Spear was doing his best to push the rest of his weapon through the Ursa's neck. The Ursa feeling this only tightened its bite on Spears shoulder as Spear let out a cry of anger filled pain. Spear in turn used as much strength as he could muster. Though it was getting a bit harder by the second as he was feeling his muscles starting to give out. Probably because of the loss of blood so far.

But as Spear was feeling weaker and weaker, even having Spear bit the Ursa's face to help if at all. As sudden loud 'BOOM' echoed from the left of the Ursa. The force pushing the Ursa into the direction opposition to the spear in its neck. The Ursa quickly loosened its hold on Spear as it flailed a bit before the creature fell over dead. It's body oddly again not evaporating like before. Still Spear slowly walked over to the dead Ursa and pulled his spear out. Before falling on his back side as he took in a few ragged deep breaths as his adrenaline was starting to go away now also.

But from behind came quickly Nora with her weapon in its gun form, which was a grenade launcher and Terra who didn't have Adrian in her arms, but a medical kit. Neither bothered with questions as they saw Spear having slowly sat up on his right knee now as he grunted in pain. Both Nora and Terra moving up to him before kneeling down to look over the wounded man.

"Hey, hey stay still. You're like bleeding a lot." Nora said as she was already looking over his rather nasty wounds "Eh… I keep forgetting you're not from here. No aura, man you're kind of crazier than I am. I wouldn't ever fight an Ursa without an aura."

"And that's a good thing. Seriously though I don't care how tough you are. You shouldn't have even fought that Ursa. I mean look at you, most would have… have…." Terra began to scold. But then remembered he probably didn't even understand a word she was saying as he just stared at her. Sighing she opened the medical kit finally and began pulling out what she'd need to fix the man up "Never mind. Doubt you'd understand."

Without much more of a word Terra and with the help of Nora. Began to clean up, medicate and bandage up Spear. Who seemed like he understood enough that what they were using was to help him. Once it was done Spear had a quite a few bandages wrapped on him and seemed at ease once more. As Nora packed the bloody bandages up, Terra sighed once more as she eyed the man who she was thankful too. Though still wary of.

"Um…" Terra began to say as Spear titled his head like he somewhat understood her. Terra sighed yet again and just decided to spit it out "I… thank you Spear. For saving my son. I don't know why you ran in this place without any hesitation. Considering what lives in this forest, but… thank you."

Instead of getting a grunt or even a growl form the wild man. Spear just stared at Terra for a few seconds before he moved into a more comfortable position as he sat on both his knees. Then saw Spear move his hands closer to the blunt end of his weapon. Terra though confused was silent as she watched alongside Nora who stopped what she'd been doing and watch too. What the saw next was quite surprising.

Since it seemed Spear was quite the artist. In his own way as he drew with the blunt end of his weapon against the dirt. Small images in the shape of a man, a woman and two kids could be seen moments later. It didn't take Nora and Terra long to figure out that the figures were Spear, and apparently his own family.

Then Spear drew to the left of his first drawing a creature that looked like Fang. With her were two smaller creatures that must have been Fangs babies. Which was already more surprising that it seemed that Spear and Fang shared a similar family life. But that's went from surprising to rather… sad.

As next above both pictures. Spear more angrily drew a much larger creature that looked like a horn covered Fang with two smaller versions of it. But what made it sad was that there was what looked like blood coming from the mouth of the larger horned image. Then Spear drew a line that went further to the left of them. Where Spear now drew him and Fang, standing on the dead three corpses of the horned T-rex's. Before drawing one more picture. This one cementing in the silent horror that Terra and Nora were realizing.

Why because this last image simply showed Spear and Fang now. Standing next to each other. Alone, so very alone with no one else then each other. That was when Terra and Nora realized that they had just learned a bit more about the wild… no, about the man Spear and the T-Rex Fang.

Terra and Nora chalked it up to this. Spear and Fang had families before. Both seeming happy with said families. Before a monster with its own monstrous spawns came and killed both families. Most likely in front of the two at different times or maybe one then the other after both had meet. Before both of them lost their families and banded together. Most likely to slay the monsters that had taken their loved ones aways.

Then after that the two stuck together as they were the only family they had left of each other. They needed each other and it probably had taken a bit before they were as close as they've shown so far. But still as Terra and Nora felt their eyes water up a bit at the rather sad story. Spear did one new drawing, one that brought some warmth to the rather sad silent tale before them.

It was picture of everyone here. From Terra herself, her wife, Adrian, the other parents, Xehanort, Glynda, Ozpin, Ironwood, teams CFVY and JNPR. The other summons, Donald, Goofy, then second to last the girls of team RWBY. Before finally him and Fang. In a way even if it hadn't been long. Spear and Fang it seemed considering them family now too. Maybe because they were so alone or maybe because despite how primal they seemed. They were much smarter and more capable of emotions then they gave off. Then Spear did something else surprising and only one other time when he learned to do so… he spoke in english.

"F….a…m…ily. C..l…an." Spear said with his deep, barbarous voice as it seemed like he knew more words then they'd believed. Still again it appeared that he and Fang saw the rest of them as their new family. Their new clan for them to help keep safe

"Hm… yeah." Terra said as she and Nora looked to one another. Nodding to each other, before she focused back on Spear who was making a small smile at her "Yeah Spear, we're family. All of us."

As both women smiled more towards Spear. They didn't hear the sounds of team RWBY and Winter coming up to check on them. Still in their P.T Clothes and worried beyond belief. But then again for Terra and Nora. They felt at ease after these past few days of worry on when this heartless invasion was even going to happen.

But now they at least knew that whenever the invasion did happen. At least they'd be with their family, through thick and thin.

---

It had been a good week and a half up to today. This very day designated solely for team RWBY. Why…

Simple. Today team RWBY decided to prioritize their time for them and their summons to get to know one another better. Which meant each of the girls were spending time with their summons today.

So for those like Weiss and Blake. They had decided to stay back at Beacon to either explore the school grounds or the Emerald Forst; the safter parts at least. Still for the cousin duo. They had decided to do so since they didn't want to run into any issues with those more bigoted in the city. At least for today. So Weiss and Blake decided to spend time with their summons back at basically their second home. Their summons seemed fine enough with it too.

First let us come to the courtyard where Blake Belladonna, Albedo, Fang and Spear resided at. Well, more of Blake and Albedo sitting on bench while Spear and Fang well…

"RAWR!" Fang roared as she was of all things, biting at butterflies that were fluttering around the courtyard. Fang was intrigued and began to chase the bugs trying to eat them with little to no luck. Which led to the current state of Fang. Who was just leaping and biting at the rather evasive bugs before her "Graw, rawr!"

Spear meanwhile was inspecting one of the pillars in the courtyard. Looking at the substance and stabbing at it like he was trying to get a chunk out of it for whatever reason. Blake didn't ask or want to know why; and left it as just a Spear thing.

Speaking of Blake and Albedo were watching this all play out. Blake seeming amused at the two as she found their curiosity endearing to witness. Albedo on the other hand, eh…

"I have no idea why you put up with those two Blake. They seem like more trouble than their worth considering how dumb they are." Albedo stated calmly if not with a hint of disgust towards Spear and Fang

"Albedo I don't think they're as 'dumb' as you say they are. They just show their intelligence in a different way. Besides you have to admit, but they are a bit endearing." Blake stated with a half-smile as by this point she'd become use to how blunt Albedo was. Even if it hadn't been that long since she was summoned

"Hmf, right smart. Whatever you say… Blake." Albedo replied back. Calmly, though Blake had noticed some tenses under her tone too. Blake sighed a bit as she wished Albedo wasn't so iffy still with her

"Albedo, seriously what's the problem and don't say there isn't I'm not stupid. Look is something I said, did or... wait. D-Do you think I'm the reason your stuck here?" Blake asked. Somewhat sternly but a bit hurt also when she noticed Albedo clench her fists just a bit tightly. That was clear answer that this was the case apparently. Which hurt more from the fact that anyone would think that of her "Seriously. Look I had NOTHING to do with you getting stuck in the gem. Besides why would I want to do it. You honestly think I feel okay with having living beings tied to me because of a stupid rock?!"

"Ugh… no. No, I don't think that. I just… just don't care to feel this... this UGH. This weak. Okay that's why. I can usually do what I want and have the power to do it back where I lived. But now I'm as weak as you lot." Albedo exclaimed angrily. Though didn't lash out as she had enough sense to know that Blake honestly didn't have any way of being the one to get her stuck in that stupid gem. Didn't mean she wasn't still pissed off about it though

"Real nice…" Blake muttered. But sighed knowing that Albedo was at least trying to be civil "Look. I don't know why or who put you, Fang and Spear in my gem. But I promise you this at least. I'll do whatever I can to get you back to your home."

"And… what if you can't?" Albedo asked back. As she felt a bit at ease hearing those words come out of Blakes mouth, despite having a feeling getting back home wouldn't be as easy as she wished

"If we can't. Well then I guess you can be part of the family. Mine if you want. I mean look I'm just trying to be nice and despite how you seem so far. You don't seem THAT bad. Just a bit vicious and crabby at times. No offense." Blake explained sheepishly. Not wanting to offend Albedo when they seemed to be having a bit of break through with their friendship here

"None taken…." Albedo muttered as she averted her gaze from Blake

It wasn't that she against it. She had to admit, it might be nice enough. Honestly it was more of the fact she was shocked at how genuine she could tell Blake was being with that request. Then again she came to the realization early on this week that the people here might not be like the one's in her home world. Still, she actually was kind of happy that Blake even offered in the first place.

"If and IF you never did find my home world. Would you… really be fine with me being a part of your family? Albedo asked seeming a bit kinder now as she looked back at Blake

"I'm sure. Besides my mom always wanted a litter so there's that, and I always wanted older brothers or sisters so it would be nice." Blake mused as she smiled a bit "Just promise me to try and be a bit nicer here. I know you haven't been in the best mood and I can't blame you really for that. But I think it would just be easier for you if you got along with everyone."

"Hm… fine. I can try, but I still hold the right to punch people if they piss me off." Albedo exclaimed as she might as well give it try. Since she wasn't in a world of her own anyways it would be more beneficial to have allies. Maybe even friends if she felt comfortable enough for that later on

"Fair enough. Now then I remember you mentioning someone names Ainz a while ago. Someone you like?" Blake mused smirking as she may not look like it. But if it was gossip, she liked doing it from time to time. Besides Albedo might appreciate talking about whoever this Ainz person was

"Heh. You could say that. Much more like in love Blake. Hm... you know I think we're gonna get along much better then I'd originally thought." Albedo remarked. Knowing that Blake was trying to just help her mood and she for one actually appreciated it

So as Blake and Albedo started to gossip. While Spear and Fang were still doing their things on this quiet day. We now switch over to Weiss, Lucy and Ethan. Who were currently inside the schools gun range/ battle simulator. Testing out a few… interesting weapons that Lucy and Ethan had been able to rather easily make from materials left around in this place; while Weiss let Ethan and Lucy try out her weapon.

Let's just say to that currently this activity wasn't going too far yet and for a good reason...

"Okay, you're gonna have to explain again. But this gun is just that, a gun. No alt-mod where it turns into I dunno an axe or even a bat?" Weiss asked a bit shocked at this since guns such as the ones she held in her hand and laid on the table before her would have been considered stone age at this point

"Oh, OH you want to get on us about our guns. Yours is weird as SHIT. I mean how the hell do you even shoot from this rapier of yours. I see the trigger, but I'm just… WHAT?" Lucy replied back as now that she had a better look at it and from her memories of team RWBY's weapons. None of them, at least to her made a lick of sense on how they even functioned "I swear I know a few people who'd be going crazy trying to figure these weapons out?!"

Now for the weapons on display. From Lucy side of things was what she called the Rostović DB-4 Igla or a Double Barrel Shotgun. Which had silver set of twin barrels, a black rubber stock and a green dot sight. Alongside that was a pistol called a UNTIY. An odd name for the small, compact black steel weapon.

For Ethans weapons at least the two he was able to craft. The first was a two handed auto rifle called the NV4. Plain in coloring of grey, with some black and a bit of faded white. This weapon again seemed rather plain. The pistol the same in a way as it was pure black and called the Electro-Magnetic Compact or EMC for short.

All in all both sets of weapons from Weiss perspectives were rather antique like. She was actually trying to comprehend how one used such weapons that had no melee form for back up. Blake and Yang would find these weapons just as odd as she did and Ruby. Oh and speaking of Ruby. She would be having a field day here with these weapons. When she wasn't busy with other stuff, Ruby was a gun nut at heart. Still as Weiss inspected the weapons of her summons, Lucy and Ethan did the same.

Both staring at the weird combination of rapier and apparently revolver. They could tell thanks the trigger and trigger guard on one side along with the vials of what was apparently called dust intergradient into the ammo chamber. That basically it was a revolver sword. Which only made the two wonder more on how this thing even functioned as it looked like it shouldn't. But somehow, someway it did. Which was the most baffling thing here.

"Okay fair point… look we could argue all day on this topic. But despite how odd I find your weapons. I am rather curious on using them. So, which first?" Weiss stated as she was rather curious on how these weapons did work despite the more archaic look to them

"How bout Lucy's first, then mine and finally yours Weiss. Sound good ladies?" Ethan suggested as the girls nodded in agreement "Good. Now Weiss you go first."

"Alright then." Weiss said as she moved over to the double barrel and pistol Lucy had. Looking between the two she picked up the double barrel first and was quite surprised at how light it was "Huh. I thought it be heavier."

"Well the metal is a lighter alloy and the stock is rubber which is why it's much lighter. But that's simply because of what I used here. Back in my home world, that gun would be much heavier." Lucy explained as she watched Weiss move over to the shooting stand and try to figure out how to load it as she took two of the shells. Lucy chuckled some at that "Hehe, Weiss. Try breaking it in half. Were the ends of the barrel on the inside meet the line connected to the start of the stock."

Weiss was confused just a bit, before she saw what Lucy meant. So taking her advice Weiss did so and was startled for a moment when the gun opened in half from a hinge joint on the bottom. Lucy chuckled some more as Ethan simply watched. After a few seconds, Weiss loaded up the two shells then clicked the gun back into place. Keeping her finger off the trigger. She knew well enough also that the green dot in her line of vision to the target was her sight. Pushing the stock against her shoulder. She waited for a moment before firing.

.

[BOOM, BOOM]

.

Two loud booms echoed seconds later as Weiss was shocked from how much kick the double barrel had as she was flung back a bit. Ethan caught her. As Lucy with the Unity in hand, took the current weapon. But smiled a bit too at Weiss.

"Looks like you had fun." Lucy teased as Ethan helped Weiss back onto her feet. The younger girl shaking her head for a moment

"I did. But I didn't expect such a… kick. I mean my own weapon has one. But not as sudden and forceful as the double barrel had. Did you shoot that gun a lot?" Weiss asked as she was rather surprised at the guns recoil. She knew that if Yang shot it she might have a better footing considering her weapons

"Not really, once and I hated it. But it was a much more common weapon in my home world." Lucy answered before she handed Weiss the Unity and smirked "Now this one I did use a lot. Less kick, very common, ammo was easy enough to find and it was reliable enough. Repairs were easy too. Give it a try. I know you'll love it and don't worry I already loaded it."

Weiss nodded as she moved back over to the shooting stand. Taking a breather as she aimed the pistol ahead. With one hand first but it felt uncomfortable to her, so she used her other hand and felt much more at ease. Once more her finger was off the trigger and she used the green dot on the sights to aim. After a few seconds she moved her finger on the trigger and fired.

.

[BANG…BANG…. BANG, BANG, BANG… BANG….BANG… BANG… BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG]

.

One shot, then another followed by a few more in between. Before Weiss liking the Unity much better fired off the rest of the rounds. As the last round popped out the side and hit the ground. Weiss looked back with a rare smile of glee.

"So…?" Lucy asked smirking still as she and Ethan were glad to see Weiss seem much happier in childlike awe then what she usually seemed like

"That was... was really fun. Like super fun!" Weiss cheered. Before she quickly calmed herself down and cleared her throat "Ahem, anyways. Ethan you said you'd go next or…?"

"I'll go after you've done my weapons. Then Lucy does the same as me, kay?" Ethan answered as Weiss nodded in agreement and happily placed the pistol back on the table were the double barrel had been placed back at

Then Weiss went to use the other two weapons. Ethans, as this time she used the EMC pistol first and though surprised that it was a bit heavier then she thought. She went over and shot it like the other two guns at the targets. After she was done and finding that one fun to use. She went to the NV4. Then again did the same process she had with the double barrel. But being reminded it was an auto-rifle. Weiss fixed her stance, before firing.

To Lucy and Ethan it was funny to see Weiss initial shock at how little recoil the gun had, yet how much of a kick it had too. Weiss went on and shot more until the clip was empty. But by this point Ethan had moved the table with the rest of the weapons and ammo over to Weiss. Weiss without realizing just took another clip and fired the NV4 again. As she was having much more fun now then she ever had before.

Still that was kind of part of Lucy and Ethans plan here. As they'd come to learn a bit ago when talking with Winter and Victor to learn more about Weiss and her family in general. But they had learned when it came to Weiss father, he was rather… demanding and neglectful. Downright abusive mentally to Weiss at least. That and how he treated Victor whenever he came over like a stain on the Schnee family name, how he treated Winter herself like an outcast. Made their mother Willow Schnee a miserable drunk and most likely did worst to the only male of the family, Whitely Schnee to make him such a lap dog. Winter felt a rather deep shame at that last part as she admitted, she should have stayed to keep her siblings safe. Victor just patted her back to comfort his cousin. As he knew Winter held a deep guilt at her behavior when she was younger towards her siblings. Especially Weiss after she'd been made the heir of the family. That... that was something Winter would hate herself for until she passed, mainly because she had effectively become Weiss bully in a sense back then.

.

"Some big sister I was..."

.

That had been what Winter hatefully and bitterly said towards herself when she admitted to that. Not to mention the immense guilt that only made her feel worse then she'd already had felt.

But Lucy of all people reassured Winter that she did her best and yes how she behaved had been in Lucy own words 'A total bitch move'. It was the fact that Winter was trying to do and be the best big sister she could be now. That showed that she was a good person at the end of it all and a good big sister too. Still after that and learning more on the rather dark history of the Mr. Schnee's dealing in general. Lucy and Ethan had made a pledge to protect Weiss at all costs and keep her father away from her as best as they could. Even if it meant killing the man. If Weiss hated them for that after, then so be it. She'd at least be safe.

Oh yes. The both of them weren't falling for the small chance they'd ever end up back in their home worlds again. If anything, this current life was their lives now. A life that neither minded honestly. Still as they watched Weiss having fun like she should have been allowed to as a child. Heiress or not. Lucy and Ethan, if he could smile at the scene. Were happy that Weiss at least now would be able to have some childlike joy in her life.

And besides, isn't it the job of an older sibling to help their younger ones smile?

.

.

.

Now that we've gone past the cousin duo. We find ourselves with the sister duo and their day out with their summons. We start off with Yang who decided to explore the city more since her summons seemed interested with learning about this new world more by studying the everyday goings of it. So that's where we currently find our blonde heroine, her wheelchair bound summon and her older gruffy summon. As Yang was giving them a tour.

"And over there we have the dust shop. Where I learned only recently that's where my baby sister stopped a bunch of thieves from robbing the place." Yang stated, half proud and half still upset Ruby went in headfirst in such a situation. But again prouder then anything as she was pushing Fiore along and using her right hand when only to point out locations "Anyways, sorry if I'm not the best tour guide here. But I know enough places still."

"It's fine Yang. You're doing better than you think, honest." Strange answered as he ignored the few side glances here and there from civilians who took notice of him "Besides. This place is surprisingly like my home world Aside from the faunas and Grimm of course."

"And the prana or… magic. It feels different, much different from back in my home world." Fiore answered as she eyed Strange "Strange, is that why us summons are still here outside the gems. That is what you said correct?"

"Indeed. The magic here is sustaining us longer then we should be allowed to with our magic reserves as summons currently. If we weren't on the world, I'd say we all have maybe a half a day left before having to go back into the gems and recharge." Strange explained as he was finding this world 'Stranger and Stranger' every moment, pun maybe intended there

"So this world is… STRANGE?" Yang joked. Making the actual pun as Fiore and Strange groaned "Aw come on. That was a good one and you know it!"

"Good or not we've only known you for a bit now and you've shown a rather odd obsession with puns." Strange replied back as he just wondered if this was a weird quirk of hers, and that everyone on this planet had some weird habit

"Agreed, but at least they're decent ones." Fiore chimed in as Yang pouted some as Fiore chuckled a little from that

"Anyways…" Yang started to say to get the subject off her and onto something else if anything "I gotta say too. But I still find this whole magic stuff odd. That and the fact you two have completely different ones to one another. Was that why you Fiore were a bit crabby with Strange when you first came out of the gems. I noticed that real quick just to say."

"Well, ah… I wouldn't say crabby just-" Fiore began to say blushing some at the fact it seemed her pervious irritation with Strange had been so noticeable

"Childish, immature?" Strange chimed in as Fiore pouted some as she stared at the older man. Who smirked back and gave her shrug "What I call it like I see it. No offense."

"None taken… I guess." Fiore muttered before she noticed Yang smiling stupidly too "A-Are you finding this funny?"

"Pff… a little." Yang answered as she laughed a bit at how quicky Fiore was to get pouty when someone even if bluntly, called her out "Sorry, haha. Sorry."

"UGH… whatever." Fiore groaned as she just let it be now. Before she sighed and smiled a little "Still you are right Yang. My way of mage craft and Stranges way is very different from one another. It rather fascinating too."

"How, magic seems just like magic. You conjure stuff up and bam you got it!" Yang remarked before she noticed both her summons giving her a raised brow "Heh…well I mean that's what all the story's here said magic was like."

"Maybe so. But the magic for Fiore and I know are rather complex in some ways." Strange explained. Before he decided to go into teacher mode "Like for me, my kind tap into the energies of other dimensions to create what many would call magic. It's pretty much limitless, aside from the skill of the user and their potential within my worlds arcane arts."

"As for my world. Magic isn't magic-magic or what we call 'True Magic'. Instead, it's more of a science mixed with magic. We have things called circuits and the usual amount is a bout twenty-seven to maybe thirty at least. Some may have more, but that's rare." Fiore answered as she looked down at her legs "We also have what's called a Crest. A literal embodiment of our clan's knowledge of our mage craft that's passed down from one member of the family to another. If siblings are involved it goes to the eldest child."

"So then you'd be the older one. I remember you said you had a brother." Yang asked as she understood Stranges explanation a lot more then Fiore's so far

"Indeed. With that, I inherited my family's crest. Though it did come with…side effects sadly." Fiore answered as she sighed some and slightly rubbed her legs

"Like what if you don't mind me asking." Yang asked as she didn't want to seem rude. But she also was trying to learn more about her summons, so might as well ask

"I don't mind. But Yang, why do you think I'm in a wheelchair?" Fiore answered before suddenly Yang stopped which meant she stopped and Strange stopped as well. Fiore looked up seeing Yang staring at her oddly all of sudden. A mixture of shock, anger and concern "Um… Yang, are you okay?"

"I… I don't get it." Yang answered a bit in a hush as she seemed rather dishearten "Why do you want that crest then. If your… your stuck like this?!"

"Yang I appreciate the concern, but it's just how it is. That's the duty of a child in a mage family after all. To keep the crest alive and well. Then I'll pass it down to my own child. I maybe disabled but my family made sure I was able to still bear children and I find it an honor to do so one day. Both as a mage first and then mother second." Fiore answered kindly. As she did appreciate the concern but already knew that Yang would never understand her point of view, she wasn't a magus so how could she

"But still…" Yang began to say as even if no related. Yang already had that maternal/ big sister feeling overcome her when it came to Fiore. But before she could say more, she felt Strange place his hand on her shoulder as she looked to the older man "Strange?"

"Yang I understand how you feel. But it's no our place to judge how Fiore does things in her world." Strange explained. Though felt similar to how Yang was when he'd learned a bit earlier on Fiore's magic and her crest. He especially didn't like how she referred to herself as basically just a baby making vessel for the next generation. It seemed all so cold and inhuman if you asked him. He hoped that maybe spending time like this right now would help change the girls mind on many things. He hoped at least

"I know just…" Yang said once more, before she sighed knowing Strange had a point. But that didn't mean she had to like it

"Like I said before Yang. I appreciate it. Truly I do, you've proven to be a great friend already to me than most others I know. Aside from my younger brother." Fiore stated as she wanted to reassure Yang that even if she may not understand her point of view. She still appreciated Yang's concern for her "So thank you Yang. Thank you dearly."

"Eh no problem. That's what family is for." Yang quipped as she smiled now

"Family?" Fiore questioned as Strange decided to stay quiet and let the girls have their chat

"Well yeah. Look I know we've barely know each other, but I was always told family are the people who you trust. Be the blood related or not. So we're all family here." Yang mused as she smiled widely before patting the top of Fiore's head. Then giving her a thumbs up "So don't fret. Your big sis Yang has you back!"

Fiore for a moment and even Strange were surprised by that. They wondered if this was just a trait people of Remnant had, or if was Yang and her group that seemed to have only this welcoming mindset to them. Either way the two gave each other a quick glance but appreciated the mere act of considering the two family. Especially since it hadn't been too long of knowing one another.

"Well… thank you then Yang. Really thanks." Fiore thanked once more as she gave Yang a simple nod and smile

"Question, that make me like an uncle or…?" Strange asked curious as he smirked

"Hm more of the scruffy older brother. Haha!" Yang teased a bit

"Hey I'm not scruffy." Strange argued a bit as he rubbed his well somewhat scruffy beard

But instead Yang laughed some more at that, then followed by Fiore who giggled at first before she began to laugh as well. Strange grumbled a bit. Before he just chuckled realizing that Yang was more on spot more with her assessment of him. So, the three simply enjoyed this moment.

So far for Yang it seemed she'd gotten a bit closer to her summons…

Still, we move away now from Yang and her summons. As now we move to Ruby. Who though wasn't on school grounds, decided to make her way out to a… special place. It was around that time of year already even if a bit earlier than usual. But it was probably for the best to go earlier this year considering the situation that could be coming any day or hopefully at least later months.

So currently here we find Ruby Rose walking down a dirt pathway as she skipped a little. Behind her was a rather fast Mister B, who despite his size and loud thumps; barely seemed to be causing any animals to panic or flee. While walking by Ruby's left was her hound Caules. Who was happily following his new master and keeping an eye out for any danger.

Yes, today too was a sunny day as the tree's around were still covered in its summer green. Birds chirped from a distance and what animals that weren't Grimm. Grazed on the plants around. It again was a nice day for Ruby Rose and her two summons as she skipped on down the dirt road.

"Da, da, do, do…da… da." Ruby muttered an old tune she remembered hearing when she but a baby and small child of four. As she skipped and skipped, while feeling happy she could spend time with her summons like this. Even if neither talked for obvious reason. Though as she skipped on she stopped for a moment, Mister B and Caules following in suit. Ruby then stretched her arms out as she took in a deep breath "Ah. Nice fresh air, nice weather and I get to hang with my two new buddies!"

"Arf, arf!" Caules barked happily as he wagged his tail some more. While Mister B kept quiet like a silent guardian for the two others with him

"Hehe glad to see you agree. Oh your such a good boy Caules, yes you are!" Ruby happily cheered as she knelt down and began to pet her new hound. Caules happily enjoying it before he began to lick Ruby's face as the young girl chuckled "Hehe. Hehe, okay, okay I get it. You love me already. Hehe!"

"Arf!" Caules barked once more as he stopped barking, before just enjoying the pets Ruby was giving him once more

"Hm. You know Zewi would love to meet ya. He's my other dog and like you. The goodest boy there could be. Sad dad couldn't take him here, but then again we've been meaning to get him trained some more. So I guess leaving him at the doggy training facility was the best idea to do. But I know he'll love you when you two meet. Isn't that great to hear boy!" Ruby happily said as she pet Caules some more, before her stomach growled. As it did Caules lowered his head and then placed his right paw over it like he was face palming or face PAW-ming in this case… please never let Yang know that pun. Still Ruby blushed a little at that "Heh…hehe, guess I'm hungrier then I thought. Hehe.."

Ruby's audience just stared back at her and the young girl was SO happy her big sister wasn't here or she'd be making puns like no tomorrow already. Blake would most likey tease her too since Yang seemed to be infecting her with her sense of humor and Weiss. Oh Ruby would be a blubbering mess if the girl she knew for fact she loved now, had just heard her. But that aside she got back up and walked over to Mister B who had a fanny pack of all things tied around his waist, a large one but a fanny pack no doubt.

"Alright, Mister B a moment and I'm gonna get lunch ready. Thanks again for carrying the supplies and food buddy!" Ruby happily said as she patted the metal titan's arm

"Grahhhhh…rahhhhh." Mister B simple bellowed like usual as he was fine with helping Ruby and in his mind, she was the little sister if not a bit older

"I'll take that as your welcome. Still thank you." Ruby kindly said as she pulled out a blanket she set down on the ground as Caules laid on it seconds later. Ruby chuckled before she then pulled out a picnic basket and set it down. As she sat down herself, she looked over at Mister B still standing "Hey Mister B come over here. Take a seat pretty please."

Mister B though not really knowing the reason for this 'Picnic' aside from eating. Followed Ruby's plead as he moved closer until he was standing near the edge of the blanket. Then he sat down as a semi-loud 'Thump' echoed. Before settling, Ruby smiled some as she opened the basket and took out an egg sandwich which she took a bite from.

"Yummy!" Ruby cheered as she loved egg sandwiches. Chewing a bit more she swallowed before taking a piece and offering it to Caules who sniffed the food. Before taking it happily and seemed to love it "Aw, happy to see you like it. But that's all for you. I don't want you to have an upset tummy because you ate too much of this."

"Rwwwwmmm…" Caules whined a bit as he lowered his head on Ruby's right thigh and gave her his own puppy dog stare which was quite effective

"D'aw okay. OKAY. Just one more bite and that's it. Understood mister?" Ruby said somewhat sternly. Even though she found her new hound too adorable already

"Ruff!" Caules barked happily as Ruby took off one more piece before giving it to him as he happily ate it and wagged his tail some

"Glad you like it. But don't say I don't give you anything, spoiled boy." Ruby mused as she chuckled some before petting Caules

"Arf, ruff!" Caules barked back as he rested his head back on Ruby's right thigh. Seeming content with the two pieces of egg sandwich he got

"Good boy." Ruby said before she took another bite of her sandwich. Then she looked at the ever so silent Mister B "Hey Mister B, do you want some?"

Mister B simply stared back as it got quiet. Though Mister B knew that food wasn't something his kind needed. At least anymore, not that he could take a bite either. As his helmet and suit of his was graphed into his flesh, and organs. He hoped his new little sister would never learn that. She seemed too innocent to take it well.

"Um… Mister B can you even eat. Hm. Nod once for no and two for yes. You know what I'm asking right?" Ruby asked before she saw Mister B after a few seconds nod twice. Seeing that he did understand her, Ruby smiled "Good. So again I'll ask. Can you eat?"

Mister B nodded once, which made Ruby frown some as she found the idea of NOT being able to even enjoy food sad. But she wondered a bit more too now about her metal giant of a guardian.

"Oh I'm sorry… but can I ask too. Is it because the suit is… maybe stuck on you?" Ruby asked once more. As Mister B seemed much more hesitant to answer. Before he decided to be honest. Since he knew at least Ruby wouldn't know the full extent of his body changes. So he nodded twice once more for 'Yes'. Ruby's frown deepened after that "That's so sad. I mean you got really cool armor and a drill arm. But you can't eat or do anything outside that suit. I'm sorry you have to deal with that Mister B."

Mister B did nothing more than pat Ruby on the head. Ruby already had figured that was him saying 'It's fine, thank you, etc.' at least in general. Still Ruby then went back to eating her food, enjoying the outside and just enjoying spending time with her two summons even if they didn't speak. She felt like she already knew them well enough.

After maybe half an hour more of just enjoying each other company and Ruby making one sided small talk. Finally Ruby was done and packed up. Then began her way off once more and this time Mister B on his own for once. Offered her and even Caules his shoulder to carry them. Having no reason to say no Ruby took the kind offer. Taking Caules in her arms, before sitting up Mister B's right shoulder. The rest of the walk was faster that was for sure. Mister B even scared a few roaming Boarbatusk's that came to close.

But the walk was worth it as they ended up near a cliffs end. Where a lone grave sat. Ruby, Yang, her father, her uncle and grandfather knew this place all too well. This was the grave site of one Summer Rose. As Ruby got closer and encouraging Caules, and Mister B to follow. She then stopped and her summons stopped a few inches away moments after. Ruby knelt down then before she cleared her throat.

"Hey mom… how are you?" Ruby asked in a much more somber tone by this point. As she thought in her mind what her mother would say and as always it was 'I'm fine, how about you my little Ruby?' Ruby smiled some before she continued on "I'm great mom. Doing really well. I've made friends and fallen in love with my bestie Weiss Schnee. Oh and I brought two of my newest buddies. Caules and Mister B. Boy. Say hello to my mom."

"Arf!" Caules barked as he did of all things a back flip which surprised Ruby as she wondered now if her hound knew anymore tricks

"Brraaahhhoooo…" Mister B bellowed before he also for once waved his hand like he understood well enough. Ruby kept note to see what else Mister B as well knew when it came to gestures for communication

"See new buddies!" Ruby cheered as she smiled some while staring at her mother's grave. Before her smile faltered and she went back to a more… iffy mood "Though I gotta say mom. Things have been… odd too. Really odd and apparently me, Yang and our partners are part of some bigger prophecy thingy. I still have a hard time understanding it. But… I'm just a bit scared is all. I don't know if I'm ready for this and I know don't have a choice really."

No words again, not that Ruby expected it. But she wished her mother was still around. She would have loved meeting everyone and especially Blake and Weiss. Sighing she was about to get up, before she felt Caules moving his head under her right arm and nuzzling against her. While Mister B moved next to her left and took a knee.

Ruby didn't say anything but teared up a little with a smile realizing that even if she was scared of what was to come. She wasn't alone. So she just stayed where she was at with her two boys, her mother and knowing now what her mother would say to her worries.

.

.

.

"Don't be afraid my little Ruby. You'll never face it alone. You have friends and family that will be by your side until they very end. So keep smiling my baby girl. Smile and look forward to the bright future ahead."

---

Odd, oh how odd this almost near full month had been…

That was all Lucy could think off when she chalked the past near full month. Just 'Odd'. Nothing more, nothing less. Then again it wasn't like she even wanted to believe this was all was real.

But it was, it truly was real and Lucy knew no amount of wishing or dare she even do; praying could change that fact. Honestly though, compared to Night City in her own world this place was an actual paradise. No city noise, no pollution, no freaks jacking it off in public, etc. It was nice.

Huh… 'Nice'. Wasn't that a funny little word that had been ringing more and more in her head then ever now. Heck words like 'Hopeful', 'Peaceful' and even 'Happy'. Had been words she was thinking more of even since awakening here. If she had to be honest, she might have already fallen in love with this new world called Remnant. Sure there were those Grimm but compared to her world and all the cease pools there. This world was again to her, a paradise in its truest form.

Maybe it was because it was so hopeful. Another concept that was rare if pretty much dead in her home world. It was nice though to actual have hope. Besides, she knew even if she could. She'd never want to go back to Night City. She had nothing left anyways aside from the moon, so what was the point. Nothing else mattered. She'd lost most of what she had loved on that day when that… that monster came.

But Lucy refused to think any more on that. No instead, she thought back on some of the things she like about this world; and the most prevalent. Were surprisingly the people she'd come to know in a short amount of time. She didn't know why, but each of them were okay enough. Even Albedo if barely considering how snooty she acted at times.

But that said she enjoyed each of their company so far. Which for her was rare, very rare and she was even acting a lot sillier at times. She didn't know why but it was maybe because of just how at peace she felt in this world. It gave her sense of awe she used to have as a kid. Well, when she was very happy before the…tests. She wished her friends were still around. Both new and old. She honestly believed they'd all love it here. Peaceful and filled with monsters to kill.

Be it Maine who would have just been happy to have everyone back to the living or Dorio feeling the same way if not showing it more since she had a much softer side. One she only showed to those she trusted. That and probably keeping an eye on Maine like usual, along with a lot making out. Those two were not as subtle with their relationship as they had thought they were.

Heck she also knew when it came Falco the ever-loyal wheelman of the crew or even that pervert Pilar. Those two would probably really love it here for different reason. Falco because he'd just like the scenery. Pilar probably because there were a lot of pretty girls he could try to get with, the word being try.

Or even those who she at one point had mixed feelings about, even if she loved them like actually family members. Be it from Kiwi the one who had betrayed her in the end, the one who despite all issue between them. Lucy had loved as a mother in a way. She was the one who had taught what she knew now once she'd escape the other hellhole that use to be her home. That and in those rare moments of life. Kiwi had shown some motherly care towards her. How fucked up was that honestly, the cold woman who had backstabbed her was the closest thing to a mother she still loved oddly. But she too would like it here and Lucy was sure of that.

Though this also included Rebecca. Little Rebecaa who was ironically like a little sister to her. A at times bratty one, but a little sister she loved also dearly despite the tension sometimes between them. How she died... it still hasn't left Lucys mind when she saw the aftermath of her death by that monster. Still, she knew Rebecca would love it here too.

How missed them all. Each one an odd if not welcomed piece in her life, pieces that could have never been replace after each had died in that shithole of world she once came from. But that said there was one more person she knew who would have loved this new world the most.

That would be her one and only true love, her David. Oh how the boy she met back then turned leader later on would have absolutely loved this world. He probably would have gotten along well with everyone easily too. How she missed him, how she wondered what could have been if he and her had been born in a world like this. One still full of hope and kindness. She wondered if they'd been married by this point, with kids even. Maybe a sassy cute daughter and an adorable bratty son. But she knew it was best not to dwell too much on that. She didn't want to break down on those what ifs.

Still as Lucy laid on her bed, staring up at the celling as she did her best not to ponder anymore on her loved ones back in her old world. She suddenly heard a knock at the door. She couldn't remember if she was expecting anyone. But she didn't want to be rude here. So she sat back up before answering.

"Come in." Lucy said loudly. Seconds later the door opened and in came a few who'd she'd gotten to know quite well enough so far

These in order from better know, to wanting to get to know better were Ethan, Weiss, Fiore who was being pushed by Weiss, Coco, Velvet and Yatsuhashi . All of them smiling at Lucy as they entered. Well maybe not Yatsuhashi who seemed slightly dejected and Ethan who well somehow covey a similar feeling without even having any kind of facial features.

"Well seems like you're enjoying a good nap. Hehe, sorry if we woke you up." Weiss stated kindly as Lucy half smiled back

"Eh wasn't napping. I was just enjoying the peace here is all." Lucy answered as if she had to be honest. If she'd ever had another little sister, it would be Weiss as the heiress was a far-cry in a good way from the corpo's she'd known back in her home world. That and they looked vaguely alike so it wasn't too out of being believable "Anyways, what are you all doing here. Did I miss something?"

"You totally forgot didn't ya hun. Eh no problem. But nothing bad, just we're going…." Coco said as she smiled widely "SHOPPING!"

"Oh we are…." Lucy mused as she hadn't gone shopping in a long time. That and she smirked a bit more wickedly when she eyed the boys realizing why they were not seeming as happy now "You two our bag boys then?"

"Eh…." Yatsuhashi groaned as this was norm for him. A dreaded norm, but a norm no doubt and now it was multiplied by four... yay

"Yes there are. Yatsuhashi here is Coco's resident bag boy." Velvet sheepishly answered. As she patted the large boys back while Coco on the side lines smirked in amusement

"Just to say we're very appreciative of it too boys. Honest." Fiore reassured. Smiling at Ethan and Yatsuhashi who felt a bit better thanks to those kind words "Don't worry too. You can buy a thing or two if you find anything kay?"

"Thanks…" Yatsuhashi replied back as he let out another sigh, before Ethan eyed Lucy who was amused even more now

"You're enjoying this aren't ya?" Ethan muttered as he eyed the cyber women who smirked cheekily "You're evil. Pure evil ya know that?"

"Oh you know you love that about me already." Lucy teased before she got up and stretched her arms out "Anyways let's get going. The day's still young. But the shop's aren't."

Without another word the group of five girls and two boys made their way down and out of Beacon. Before walking out through the gates. As they did, they all chit-chatted a bit here and there. Enjoying the walk into Vale. It was nice and peaceful honestly and no one in the group regretted coming along. By the time they reached the town and explored at least one or two smooth shops. Buying nothing as nothing caught any of their attention. They were now heading to the first clothing store of the day.

Sadly this nice day would turn sour very, very quickly for our group.

Why, oh nothing really aside from A SUDDEN ANTI-FANUS PROTEST ON ONE SIDE AND AN ANTI-HUMAN PROTEST ON THE OTHER SIDE of the town's square. Both groups of all days and times, deciding to come into vale to spout their hateful words between one another. Why and who allowed this who knew. But it didn't seem like it was gonna end anytime soon. That and there were reporters there as well. Weiss the first to quickly show her annoyance of this sudden turn of events.

"Of all… ugh. Let's just ignore them and walk around. I'm sure they'll leave us be." Weiss muttered as she and the others did what they could to avoid being noticed being spotted by both groups and the news

But as they did, those who weren't natives. Being Ethan, Fiore and Lucy got a real good idea on just how bad it was between some faunas and humans if the speakers of both opposing protest were any indication currently.

"We of the human union league demand you animals move back to homes in the wild!" A female lead protester screamed through a megaphone wearing a grey shirt that said in red 'No Animals Allowed!' in a more satirical meaning as under it was a picture of a head with animal ears with a big red 'X' over it "GET LOST FREAKS!"

"FREAKS, FREAKS!" The rest of the anti-faunas crowd screamed alongside their supposed leader wearing rather similar shirts

"Screw you ya bigoted bitch. You humans are all the same, time to take ya down a peg!" Another female lead protester, being a bear faunas screamed back. Her own blue shirt saying in big bold white lettering, 'Faunas superiority, human inferiority!' if not in some unnoticed ironic sense at how hypocritical her own shirt was "BIGOTS!"

"BIGOTS, BIGOTS!" The rest of the faunas in the anti-human group screamed alongside their own leader

As this all went on the various new reporters surrounding the dueling protesters were recorded and commenting on the on the situation at hand. Even if it seemed some were making it worse with their own comments here. Like one female human in a nice blue suit, that looked like the stereotypical view and drama hungry newscasters. One that was close enough for the passing group of our heroes to overhear.

"This is Cassandra Wu of Channel 20 Afternoon Report with breaking news. It seems the opposing Humanity Front and the opposing Faunas Union are finally butting heads on the political board after years of deep tension and hatred for one another. Keeping watching for all the juicy updates and the possibility of some psychical violence even. Superb excitement!" Miss Wu stated cheerfully. As it seemed she was rather happy for all of this, much to the disgust of Weiss and the others as they kept passing by. Hoping that they wouldn't be spotted

"Man. Guess wherever anyone goes they all have their share of morons." Lucy mused. Since even in Night City she wasn't really a fan of racists or bigots. Mainly because they were annoying beyond belief and she saw it just as a waste of time, and energy

"Yeah. But like Weiss said, let's just keep our p's and q's to ourselves. Not a good idea if we attract any attention." Coco chimed in as she was making sure Velvet was behind her just in case the idiots on both sides saw her

"I just wished things weren't like this. I just never understood why so many would waste their time with all that hatred." Velvet said sadly. Wanting to get away from both groups as quickly as she could

"Sadly that will always be an issue ladies. No matter how much we try to stomp it out. But better to just give them no mind, they're no worth it." Fiore replied back as she just rolled her eyes at the two groups "Besides, try to give a bigot a half a treat and they'll take the whole thing instead."

"That a saying you know or did you just come up with that little miss?" Ethan questioned as he found that rather good to use for a later time

"On my own. Feel free to use it, any of you." Fiore answered as she did find herself proud of the fact she came up with that saying on the spot

"Either way we should keep moving. I don't want to know what will happen if any of them spot us, especially you Weiss." Yatsuhashi exclaimed as the others simply nodded in absolute agreement as they continued their way off past these two groups

BUT… it was never that simple or easy to do. Mainly because Weiss was way to easily noticeable with her snow white hair and the fact she was traveling with an unlikely band for company. As it was during the argument of the anti-Fanus side of the protest group wars. That the current speaker took notice of Weiss and her company.

"THE ABOMINATION!" The faunas speaker screamed in a mixture of rageful disgust. The group froze in their track from the sudden callout of Weiss, knowing very quickly things were going to get very cramp soon

Their fears quickly became worse when Weiss and the rest looked seeing that everyone from the two protesting sides, and the news outlets staring at them. Be it from the news reporters like Miss Wu and her company seeing this as a big scandal to capitalize on or the angry protesting groups. All eyes primarily on Weiss. Each stare silently screaming that Weiss was some sort of disgusting mistake of nature itself.

Seconds later unfortunately the newscasters and both protesting groups swarmed the group before they could make a run for it. As they did, in a mixture of shouting out questions, screams of hatred and a lot of photos being taken. It was Miss Wu the reporter that pushed her microphone near Weiss face. Much to Weiss increasing irritation so far.

"Miss Schnee, Miss Schnee. Cassandra Wu of Channel 20 Afternoon News. Tell us all. But how does it feel to be a mix breed human and faunas considering your family?" Miss Wu questioned in mocking glee as some protesters screamed 'Boos' seconds later. The others decided to keep quiet if only to avoid saying or doing something that would make it worse as Weiss took a moment before responding back

"Well… Miss Wu. I will only say that I personally have no issues with it. The girl I've come to learn is my cousin. Was before like a sister to me, so again if anything and you can put this on record. But I'm glad, very glad to know I have more family then before. Faunas or not. My own families past deeds or not. It doesn't make me change how I feel. Got it?" Weiss sternly answered as she tried to get herself and everyone else away. But it seemed Miss Wu wasn't done just yet

"I get ya Miss Schnee, but one more thing. Is it true you'll be soon marrying a wealthy prince from Atlas to keep good old Schnee dynasty going?" Miss Wu questioned with an amused smirk as Weiss froze for a second at that statement

The others hearing this were surprised that apparently Weiss father was actually pulling something like this. But they were especially worried for Weiss, who they noticed seemed like she'd just hear new that shook her to her very core. To be honest that might as well be the case.

Meanwhile the only thoughts that went through Weiss mind were horror for one, horror that it seemed her father was getting desperate or worse even. Selling her off to be some jerks trophy wife so he can probably get some deal settled. But she also felt a sudden rage, pure blinding rage building up. Again, her father AGAIN was trying to control her whole life to his likes. Well no more, oh no more. She refused to marry some prick she never meet when she was already… already… without thinking and mixed with her rage at the moment. She suddenly blurted out a response to such a statement there.

"No, that's my answer. Because I'm already engaged to a young lady who I've become close with. She's my partner, my best friend and the love of my life. Me and my fiancée RUBY ROSE are to be wedded in coming weeks. That's the truth!" Weiss screamed proudly and confidently at that

But after she did, it didn't take even a second Weiss realized what she just said. That and live for the whole world to hear. Weiss then eyed those with her, all of them surprised hearing that. Though Coco and Lucy at least smirked at the sudden declaration. Coco even handing Lucy twenty lien as Lucy pocketed it.

But as more and more sudden questions, and some protests now began to be shouted out towards Weiss. Weiss couldn't help but want to curl up in a ball and just cry in embarrassment. As she realized that her father most likely saw this and if so, he'd be coming down himself soon as possible now. Heck Winter would probably want a word with her too. Victor meanwhile would just be teasing her to no end now. He'd be happy for her, but again would tease her.

Though more harrowing, was the fact she'd have to convince Tia-Yang, Qrow, Xehanort and especially Yang to marry Ruby. But worse of all was that she would have to face and explain to Ruby of things that had been on her mind for a good while now when it came to their relationship. She just hoped it wouldn't cause a rift between them. Because if so then…

Then that would be the worse outcome of it all.

.

.

.

Well, things could be better….

At least that's what Weiss was thinking currently as she was back up against the wall. An anger filled Yang cornering her and looking like she wanted to beat her to near death. Lifting Weiss up by the collar of her shirt seconds later, Yang glared into Weiss eyes. Her own eyes flickering between her normal Iliac color and red. Blake meanwhile was trying to calm Yang down the best she could. If only so her cousin wouldn't end up with a black eye or even a broken limb or two.

"Yang dear, please calm down. I know what Weiss said may have been a bit much but still…" Blake said. Though she too was a bit irked at Weiss for saying such a thing. But she didn't want her cousin to get beaten up for it either

"A BIT, Blake I know she's your cousin. My friend, but right now…." Yang started to say as calmly as she could as she addressed her girlfriends plead. Before she focused back on her now soon to be new sister in law apparently. One part she was happy for it, now team RWBY would literally be a family. But her rage was overriding the joy she felt as she tightened her grip on Weiss collar "Right now. All I want to do is beat the ever living day lights out of you Weiss. You have any idea what you just did!"

"I... I know. I'm sorry but-" Weiss began to say. Only for Yang to stop her as she to pushed her against the wall a bit harder. Weiss swore she was starting felt a bit of heat coming off of Yang, which wasn't a good sign at all

"Sorry. You're SORRY. Oh… oh, Weiss were past sorry right now. You just threw my sister into a whole world of problems. YOUR PROBLEMS!" Yang scream as Blake watching still was getting very worried at just how angry her girlfriend was becoming "Do you have an idea what this going to do to her. She's only fifteen and by next year. You'll be eighteen and she'll still be a teen. How the hell can she have a normal life when she's in a marriage that pretty much between an adult and minor. She's a lot more… more fragile than she gives off. But you don't care… do you."

"Okay you know what…. Yang. I'm going to say this once. Hurt me all you like, screamed at me and even hate me if that helps. But…" Weiss started to say. Then she took a deep breath before she suddenly kicked Yang in the face hard as Yang fell onto her back. Weiss falling to her feet right when Yang hit the ground. Blake ran to Yangs side, while Weiss got up slowly and glared right back at Yang who was being helped back up "Don't ever assume that I don't care. I care a lot more than you think, I love your little sister. But if you don't believe me then maybe I'll show you how serious I am!"

"Weiss stop please. There's no need to-" Blake tried to say. Before Yang cut her as she was back up on her feet now and cracked her neck. Blake got even more worried as she knew what that meant "Yang no!"

"Sorry babe. But I want to settle it this way, besides this is between me and your cousin." Yang stated as she clenched her fists a bit. Then narrowed her eyes at her soon to be sister in law and smirked "So 'SISTER', ready?"

"Anytime you are… 'SIS'." Weiss mused as she smirked back and not even a second later charged at Yang

Yang did the same as both girls screamed a battle cry. Before they clashed into each other and tumbled onto the ground. Already throwing punches, kicks and pulling hair. Both future in laws seeming to put their all into this sudden brawl. All the while a panicked Blake watched the scene go on, had lost all sense of what to even do right now.

But as both Weiss and Yang were duking it out, screaming at each other with nonsensical word of anger. It was just then that the door opened showing Ruby, Donald and Goofy coming in. As the three did they quickly saw the fight going on. Without a second more Donald ran over to Yang, while Goofy ran over to Weiss. Both men pulling the girls off each other. As both Yang and Weiss tried to break free. But to no avail as Donald and Goofy were a lot stronger then they seemed. By this point Ruby had enough of whatever was going on here.

"HEY!" Ruby screamed in a rare, loud tone as everyone flinched a bit from that before they all look at a rather upset Ruby who had her arms crossed "WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING!?"

"Well I ah… baby sis I…" Yang tried to say. But it was no use, she always got nervous when she got the rare scolding from her little sister

"Ruby dear, um ah. We were just…" Weiss tried to explain. But was in a cross section of gushing at how adorable her proclaimed to be fiancée was when she was angry and scared beyond belief that her soon to be wife was angry with her currently

"Fighting." Ruby sternly answered. Weiss and Yang lowering their heads a bit at the fact that maybe they had both overreacted a bit just now. Donald and Goofy letting the two go. Then Ruby sighed, before she addressed everyone else aside from Weiss "Can you four wait outside please. I... I need to talk with Weiss."

"But Ruby-" Yang tried to say, but Ruby cut her off

"Yang… big sis. Please." Ruby firmly asked once more. As she gave Yang a pleading look that she needed Yang and Weiss apart for a bit too cool down, before any apologizing could be done. That and the fact she NEEDED to talk with Weiss

"Okay… okay." Yang replied back as she sighed too. Then she looked at Weiss and even if they were still a bit peeved at each other, they smiled at one another a little. Yang deciding to offer the olive branch between them "When we're both a bit cooler headed I guess. We can talk, kay… sister?"

"I'd like that… sis." Weiss replied back as she was happy that despite the fight just now. She and Yang were still on good terms

Yang then made her way out, smiling a bit when she got a pat on the shoulder and kiss on the cheek from Blake. Blake then gave Weiss a looked back and lipped 'Good luck with your little wife cousin.' A hint of a mischievous smirk occurred too at that as Weiss stuck her tongue out at her cousin. Who seemed to just find the response amusing. Then Donald and Goofy followed behind, giving Ruby and Weiss a nod. The duo nodding back to their newer two friends.

Once the four were out of the room. Weiss felt that uneasy feeling in her stomach again as she looked upon Ruby. Who was staring at the ground, somewhat shyly as she was trying to make herself as small as she could. Weiss felt awful at how this sudden must have been for the fifteen year old. Walking up slowly to Ruby. Weiss took a deep breath as she addressed her… future wife.

"Ruby um…I…ah…" Weiss tried to say. But her throat felt like it was starting to tighten up beyond belief and of all times to do so

"W-What do you feel about me?" Ruby quietly asked, as Weiss had never heard Ruby sound so… well scared. It wasn't something Weiss ever wanted to hear again

"I, you see I-I-" Weiss started to say. Though wondering now if this how it was to be in love, like real love

Honestly she'd never felt something like this. Sure she had small childhood crushes on just old story book characters like the Rusted Knight because she'd always wanted to be someone's princess. But again, just childhood crushed no doubt. No this… this was intoxicatingly different. It was a feeling of pure bliss, and pure adoring of another. Though Ruby had cut her off real quick before Weiss could even try and explain her feelings.

"B-Because if this is just so you don't get married off. T-T-That's fine… honest. If it means keeping you here, we can be married… even if it's just for convinces." Ruby began to say as it seemed she was dealing with a much more dreadful line of thinking. Weiss felt like a monster for even making Ruby come to such a conclusion

"Ruby please. That… I… you have to bel-" Weiss again tried to explain. But her own damn nervousness was kicking in and making it that much harder to do so. But it didn't help with how suddenly frantic Ruby was becoming

"I get it. I mean even if I'm just happy to be with the girl I love. You don't have to love me back. I'm just some stupid little loser anyways." Ruby began to rant a bit. Her voice was between strained and on the verge of crying

"Ruby-" Weiss yet again started to say. Her heart soared at the very fact that Ruby just admitted she loved her back. But yet again, Ruby had a bad tendency to just keep going off when she was in more down mood from what Weiss was witnessing firsthand

"And you're like a super amazing, sweet, kind, talent goddess compared to me. Anyone would be happy to have you as a wife. But no you get stuck with stupid, useless-" Ruby began to rant as Weiss decided to try and cut her off this time

"Ruby-" Weiss said in a firmer tone now, but Ruby was in full rant mode by this point

"Moronic, untalented little ol-" Ruby was about to finish off with. But Weiss by this point had enough of seeing Ruby so critical on herself

"RUBY!" Weiss screamed. Ruby flinched from the sudden tone shift and then felt Weiss grab her by the shoulders before something rather wonderful happened

Ruby a few seconds later, felt a pair of soft lips hit hers. Before she realized Weiss was kissing her and Ruby was shocked. Before she decided to just go with it. Unknown to Ruby something suddenly… switched in her. Before Ruby or Weiss knew it, they had ended up on the bottom bunk Ruby slept in, Ruby top of Weiss as they were making out. It was a moment or so later before they stopped and took a breather.

"That… I… we…" Ruby began to say. As she could literally heard her heart beating in her ears and so fast too

"I know… I know and… I'm sorry for dragging you into this." Weiss answered back. Though felt similar to what Ruby was at the moment "I'm happy but… are you fine with this…us?"

"Yeeee…P!" Ruby answered, empathizing the 'P' at the end as Weiss chuckled some followed by Ruby. Once done with the chuckling Ruby smiled as she cupped Weiss face. A bit with a shaky hand. But romantic enough for a fifteen year old who'd never been in a relationship or even had a crush before. But this was a good one to start and end with. Still Ruby leaned in a bit closer to Weiss "I love you Weiss Schnee."

"And I love you Ruby Schnee." Weiss remarked as Ruby actually felt giddy being called a Schnee now. But Weiss decided since they were here, in there and alone. Might as well have some… other fun. Besides, who better to have your first time with then your now official fiancée. Weiss keeping down her own giddiness smirked a bit flirtier as she did her best to try and act 'sexy' for Ruby now "Ruby. Would you be a dear and lock the door to our room please?"

"Um…why?" Ruby asked as she was still rather oblivious to the 'other' stuff for the most part. Weiss almost gushed at how cute Ruby was when she was being oblivious, but decided to give Ruby a much more ahem… detailed answer since again this would be their first time

"Simple." Weiss answered and leaned into Ruby's ear. Before she began to whisper what came to mind to help give Ruby a good picture to what was about to happen

As Weiss did Ruby went from confused to wide eyed, to shocked and finally to her first 'YES!' of many to come in this soon to be official marriage. Ruby used her semblance to locked the door before appearing back over Weiss. With a big smirk and a blushing like mad. Either from embarrassment, sudden lust or a bit of both. Didn't matter to Ruby as her confidence suddenly went up times a hundred in a span of a few minutes.

"So my princess. Shall we do the ah... ah… sex stuff?" Ruby asked. Though she had a moment of faltering confidence before she kind of fixed it and did her best flirty smirk

"Hehe. Of course I am my dear, dear knight in shining red. Let's do the… sex stuff." Weiss mused as she was doing her own best to not pass out from the fact she and Ruby were about to have sex

But then she decided to just say 'screw it' and pun for once intended. As she chuckled at that for a moment and then pounced on Ruby. Who though was surprised by that, rebounded and within seconds the two got under the sheets. Giggling and while the sounds of clothing being removed echoed a bit.

Meanwhile as THAT was going on now between Weiss and Ruby. Outside Blake, Yang, Donald and Goofy were just finishing explaining what had occurred to HK-97. Who had been coming back up to check on them after learning of his mistress Weiss declaration involving his mistress Ruby. Donald finishing it up now.

"And that's when me, Goofy and Ruby came in. Seeing Yang and Weiss fighting on the floor. But me and Goofy broke em up. Still was surprised to see that." Donald finished off as Yang sheepishly laughed. As she knew that she did overreact a bit… again

"Yeah I know. I know, I just hope I can find a better way to say sorry to Weiss. I mean we're gonna be in laws soon so I don't want to leave it on a somewhat bad note between me and my new sister." Yang exclaimed as she did hope Weiss wouldn't hold a bit of a grudge against her for a bit after today

"Aw don't worry Yang. I'm sure she's already forgiven ya like ya did with her. I can promise ya that." Goofy reassured Yang with a friendly pat on the shoulder and did his trademark chuckle. Which got a smile out of Yang

"Thanks Goofy." Yang thanked as even if Goofy and Donald were quite the weird set of friends to have. She and the girls were so glad to have become quite close to the animal duo

"No problem Yang. That's what friends are for." Goofy quipped, before he looked back to the room Ruby and Weiss were in "Gawrsh. They sure are taking a bit. I hope everything is fine."

"Yeah it's been almost half an hour. Wonder what's taking them so long." Donald chimed in

"Probably just talking is all. Weiss does need to reassure Ruby that's she's serious about the relationship between them. Feelings and all. Which I'm glad since from what I can tell, Weiss is fully being genuine about her intentions with my baby sis." Yang stated as she chalked it up to that, besides it was Weiss and her sweet baby sister two of the most innocent people she knew

"Huh you know I am curious. Hold on let me-" Blake began to say. As she hadn't really tuned in her cat ears to see if she could hear anything inside their bedroom that Ruby and Weiss were in still. But as she did, for those five seconds she went wide eyed in horror before she fell on her knees and covered her cat ears "OH SWEET SON OF GRIMM WHY. WHY COUSIN, WHY NOW OF ALL TIMES. FOR DUST SAKES WHY?!"

"Huh. Blakey what's wrong?" Yang asked as she, Donald and Goofy were rather surprised by the sudden reaction from Blake

"Statement: Mistress Yang I cannot say why mistress Blake is acting in such a way suddenly. But my sensors do pick up two rapid heartbeats and a big source of heat coming from your room. It's like two bodies are collided together. Odd." HK-97 stated as he had no idea what it was his sensors were picking up

"Wait why would-" Goofy began to ask. Before he felt a nudge on his side and saw Donald wide eyed himself and giving him look that screamed 'Think, HARD'. Goofy did so and not even a moment later it hit him. He went wide eyed too "Oh… OH…"

"What, what's with you all. It's apparently just Ruby and Weiss with rapid heart beast and… and… two bodies seemingly together…" Yang started to say. Then she stopped as it suddenly came to her now what exactly was happening between Weiss and her baby sister. Yang even in a happier mood now or had been. Still was the dotting big sister. She then glared towards the door to their room, before starting to move over to it "WEISS YOU SON OF A-"

But whatever Yang was about to say next, was cut off when suddenly she was hit by a tranquillizer dart. As Yang fell over a now stunned Blake, Donald and Goofy looked at the blonde. Before HK-97, who had seemingly shot said dart out of his right wrist. Stared back at them awkwardly.

"Awkward remark: Um… I had to do it?" HK-97 said making sound more like a question then anything

"When have you been able to do that?!" Blake questioned as she knelt down and turned her girlfriend over on her back. Sighing in relief Yang seemed fine despite the fact she was just hit by a dart that could poke through aura apparently

"Honest Answer: Just now mistress Blake. If it makes it any better, it may have been the best course of action to do considering." HK-97 explained as he pointed at Yang "Continued answer: Especially with mistress Yang's ahem… temper at times. I do apologize though."

Instead of answering. Blake simply sighed, letting it be as she looked at Donald and Goofy just sighing a bit too. Blake at least knew one thing. She'd have to have a talk with her cousin later on about having 'fun' time in other places that was NOT their bedroom.

That and maybe get some brain bleach. She could go without ever having to hear or remember the sounds of her cousin Weiss and future cousin/sister in law Ruby having sex thank you very much…

---

Today was a rather nice afternoon, the next day so far…

At least if you asked Weiss. Since shed awakened to a much happier Ruby for obvious reason. Considering they had just had sex the day before. To the two newly close couple just enjoying their time with each other. Able to express their feelings to one another finally.

That and aside from the awkward conversation Weiss had with her rather peeved cousin Blake about hogging their bedroom for sex, and to be quitter during said sex. It was nice still, that along with Yang and Weiss having made up quickly. Which brightened up Ruby's and Blake's day considerably also. It was all just good feelings today.

All of that said and done, currently Weiss was sitting in a living room with her soon to be wife Ruby, her soon to be father in law Tai-Yang, soon to be uncle in law Qrow, soon to be grandfather in law Xehanort and her soon to be sister in law Yang. As to officially get to know the Xiao-Longs/Rose/Branwen family members better as a whole.

"So Weiss, you know you don't have to be nervous around us." Tai-Yang exclaimed as he gave his soon to be daughter in law a kind smile "We won't bite. Much at least."

"Dad…" Ruby groaned as she knew her dad was just doing this to help ease Weiss, but Weiss just seemed more nervous now

"N-N-Nervous…why would I be n-n-nervous?" Weiss asked as she was a still as a stone. Feeling like she was at gun point right now

"Seriously?" Qrow mused as he found Weiss reaction funny. Much more different from how Weiss older sister Winter was when he and her dated. But he'd keep that to himself for now, no reason to add anymore awkwardness here "You look like you're getting cold feet… WAIT NO!"

"Or she's worried were giving here the 'COLD' Shoulder already. Eh Qrow?" Tai-Yang sudden joked as he just made a… ugh… pun

"Tai…please…no." Qrow groaned as he now fully regrated leaving his flask back in room today

"Wait, what?" Weiss questioned as she wondered what Qrow had just accidently unleashed upon them

"Oh dad that's only the 'BLIZZARD' of worries she has today!" Yang added in, now climbing aboard the pun train… damnit all

"Dear dust no…" Weiss grumbled as she realized what was going on now

"Yes Yang. YES, embrace the PUNS!" Tai-Yang cheered as he began laughing like a madman "HAHAHA. PUNS FOR DAYS!"

"PUNS, PUNS, PUNS!" Yang cheered next as she began to laugh like a madwoman "MWHAHAHAHA!"

"Uncle Qrow why?" Ruby whined as she buried her face against Weiss shoulder, who herself just sighed already doing what she could to be a supportive wife. Even if she already felt like ripping her own ears off

"Is this…" Weiss began to ask. Though she already knew the answer, she wanted to ask just in case. Her question at the moment pointed towards Xehanort who left eye was twitching all of sudden "No..."

"Yes Indeed Weiss. Yes indeed... prepare yourself for a life of puns now." Xehanort answered as he looked like he also was about to choke out Qrow "You just had to say an unintentional pun didn't you Qrow?"

"Bite me… not like I meant too." Qrow replied back. Letting out a regretful groan knowing he just got his brother in law and elder niece into their 'PUN' mood once more

"Whatever you say boy… anyways, welcome to the family Weiss." Xehanort exclaimed as he face palmed a bit at Tai-Yang and Yang still laughing like lunatics

"Thank you grandfather… but why with puns though…" Weiss replied back. Before she finally let her sudden dread out all at once "WHY!"

Weiss then slumped herself as Ruby this time took the reins and patted Weiss back to comfort her. Though Weiss doing her best to not just choke out her soon to be father and sister in law. Also couldn't help but smile still as she saw how lively everyone here was. To be honest she was more worried about Ruby meeting the rest of her family aside from Winter and Victor. Since those two liked Ruby enough already, even if Winter took a bit longer to get use to Ruby.

But for now Weiss would enjoy her day with her soon to bigger part of her family…

---

It was a much tenser day after the first family meet up…

Mainly for one Ruby Rose. Who sat inside the dining hall a day after the first family meet up with her soon to be wife Weiss. With them was Blake who Weiss had happily invited to stick it to her father. That and considering they were cousins. It would be amusing for Weiss to see how her father at least dealt with that fact. Her little brother Whitely on the other hand despite being such a brat, had always seemed to be on the fence honestly when it came to faunas considering he had a nanny he loved and that had been fox faunas in his first few years of life. Her mother, well it seemed Weiss didn't know really considering the woman was drunk usually when she ever tried talking with her in the past.

Still Weiss had invited her Auntie Kali and Uncle Ghira too. But they declined, saying it wouldn't be a good idea considering they had a much more uncontrollable hatred for Weiss father. So they didn't want to just straight up attack the man and cause a problem.

So here Ruby, Weiss and Blake were. All three sitting and waiting for Winter and Victor to bring Weiss father, brother; and even mother here. Though they did actually have one more person with them for moral support. That being the ever faithful HK-97.

"Calm suggestion: Mistress Ruby. I understand you're nervous, but I don't think biting your thumb nail continuously will help. That and it's bad for you. At least that's what I've been reading about on my spare time." HK-97 said as he watched his mistress Ruby biting the nail of her right thumb trying to keep herself calm, while his other two mistresses tried to ease his mistress Ruby

"HK is right Ruby. I get it, heck I'm nervous too. But fretting about it isn't going to help." Blake chimed in as she felt bad for her future sister in law "Besides I'm sure Weiss folks and little brother aren't too bad. Right cousin?"

"Eh…." Weiss tried to answer, even if it was a lie. But she did not feel right about lying about something that was so obviously not true for the most part. At least when it came to her father. Her little brother and mother maybe were a bit better

"Thank you Weiss. You are such a reassuring figure you know that?" Blake sassed as Weiss rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out for a moment "Real mature Weiss."

"Well, that's what you get for the snark Blake." Weiss replied back and then focused on Ruby "Ruby, dear. I will be fine alright. Just be yourself and father will… approve of you."

"Weiss the more and hear about your father. The more I feel like he's just some cold heartless automaton." Ruby exclaimed as she ceased biting her thumb nail and sigh "No offense Weissy, honest."

"Hehe. None taken Ruby." Weiss reassured as she kindly gave Ruby a kiss on the lips before retracting with a blush "I still need to get use to kissing you."

"We can practice some more you know?" Ruby flirted as she did her best to seem suave

"Heh. Dirty girl." Weiss flirted back as she winked at Ruby

"AHEM." Blake quickly cut in. As Weiss and Ruby focused back on Blake, and HK-97 staring at them. Blake though happy for Ruby and her cousin, really wished they had an idea on time and place for flirting "I'm still here ya know and you're gonna taint HK here with your perverseness."

"Like you have any room to talk…" Weiss grumbled as she rolled her eyes once more

"What's was that?" Blake questioned. Raising a brow as a sort of warning to change whatever she just said

"Nothing Blake. Aside from the fact you are a wonderful cousin!" Weiss quickly reiterated as she remembered Blake had super hearing

"Better." Blake mused as she chuckled a bit

Weiss and Ruby then began to chuckle a few seconds after Blake. Then it went to all out laughter as it seemed that was what was needed for this current situation. But as they laughed some more, suddenly a loud knock at the door near their table echoed. They all stopped. Knowing that it must have been Winter and Victor. That mean if it was them, that it was time. HK-97 was quick to offer his services during this.

"Queary: Ah it seems that Mistress Winter and Master Victor has returned. Mistresses, please stay here. I shall get the door for them." HK-97 stated

"Why th… wait mistress, master. When did you start calling them that?" Weiss began to say. Before she realized that it seemed Winter and Victor were now, Mistress and Master

"Quick Explanation: Simple Mistress Weiss. I deduced that those who you four have come to care for as family and those of blood relation shall be given the same respect as you four. Hence Mistress Winter and Master Victor, but do not fret mistresses. You four are my only true masters at the end of the day. Now then the door." HK-97 explained as the girls would have asked more on that. But just let it be since it did make sense. So as HK-97 made his way and then stopped at the door before opening it. Winter and Victor along with four new individuals could be seen

The first was a young man in dress attire. With dark blue dress pants, black dress shoes, a white collared shirt, a red tie and a blue vest over his shirt. He had short white hair, ice blue eyes and seemed impassive or maybe bored. Whichever, and by the girls guess this must have been Whitely Schnee. The third child and youngest of the Schnee siblings.

Second was a woman who looked just like Winter and Weiss in almost every way. Aside from the hint of age to her, as she had her white hair in a low ponytail style that hung over her left shoulder. She wore a light purple jacket that was over a white secured cravat. She also had a wide belt around her waist, pencil styled skirt, black tights and black slippers. The only other noticeable thing about her was that she looked very… tired. This was the mother of the Schnee family, Willow Schnee.

Then next came the man of the hour, the father of the Schnee family. Jacques Schnee. A fair skinned man like the rest of the family, he had slick back white hair and a mustache. Weather it was already white or if it was his age plus stress no one would ever be able to tell. Still he wore a clean white suit, with a red tie, black dress shoes and already his very presence screamed elitist. For HK-97, Ruby and Blake. If there was ever a stereotype for a villain. It was Jacques Schnee.

Still the last man was a surprise to be brought along. It was the ever so loyal butler to the Schnee family. Klein. Who still look pretty much the same if not a bit larger in size and just older. Still, he wore the same clothes as he had when he started out if not tailored to his changes as he grew in age. He also seemed as kind as ever from what Weiss could tell when she saw him holding her mother's purse for her. That and Weiss swore she saw her mother Willow, smile just a bit when she looked at Klein.

But that aside. Now that all of the Schnee family was here. Winter herself, seeming a bit nervous if barely showing it was startled for a moment when she saw HK-97 before her. Victor much calmer just smiled when he saw the droid. Though quickly Winter calmed herself before addressing the droid.

"HK. Thank you for opening the door for us." Winter said, as calmly as she could now

"Yeah, thanks HK. Much appreciated man." Victor added in. Though Jaques seemed to roll his eyes just a bit at how casual Victor was being with HK-97

"Kindly response: You are most welcome Mistress Winter, Master Victor. I live to serve." HK-97 responded with a nod. Though if Winter and Victor were surprised by their new titles. They didn't show it. Still HK-97 then turned his focuses to the rest of his mistress Weiss family "Courteous greetings: Hello there dear guest. You must be Mistress Weiss family. May I presume that then you are Lady Willow, Lord Jacques, Master Whitely and Sir Klein?"

"You would assume correct. I do like the Lord part to say." Jacques answered smugly. As Willow rolled her eyes, Winter and Victor did so too. Whitely surprisingly did also and Klein seemed impassive at the head Schnee's words. Jacques though cleared his throat "Now do lead us in unit."

"Queary: Of course Lord Jacques. Please follow me." HK-97 stated as he led the six inside and as he did. He offered them seats that were across the ones of Weiss, Ruby and Blake. Victor at least giving the three a sympathetic smile as HK-97 addressed the new guest once more "Proud statement: There we are, I do hope these will be to your liking. It was the best seats the school has. Still, I shall stand by if any of you need my assistance."

"Very well unit." Jacques answered as HK-97 just moved back a bit and those who've been here so far. Being Winter, Victor, Weiss, Ruby and Blake cringed a bit knowing that Jacques was already showing his less than charming personality for not thanking HK-97 at least. But the man didn't seem to notice as he eyed Ruby "So, you're the one who my daughter has 'proposed' too then. To be blunt here Weiss. She doesn't look like much honestly, aside from a peasant."

"Peasant?" Ruby muttered as she already was disliking her sadly future father in law. That and she already kind of wanted to deck him in the face

"And… hm, the…. 'relative'." Jacques sneered as he eyed Blake next. As Blake did her best to not glare back "Hm. Though I hate to admit that I've done enough tests already to sadly prove it true back home. I still don't care much for it. So don't expect much little faunas. Family or not."

"Wouldn't dream of it… Uncle Jacques." Blake sneered back finally. As even calling the man uncle seemed to make her feel sick. But she decided that she might as well, if only to annoy the man as she knew her 'Uncle' would despise the very fact that of being called that

"Glad to hear it…" Jacques exclaimed before he sighed and eyed Weiss once more "I have to say, I don't think it would be wise to approve this union of yours. Will it be worth it. Your so called fiancée seems to be nothing more than a commoner. A country bumpkin even, she gives off such a feeling. It wouldn't be good breeding. Besides how would you even. You're both women so I don't see the use of being married if you can produce a child naturally."

By this point Winter, Victor, Willow, Klein and even Whitely yet again cringed at how rather blunt Jacques was being. While Ruby was holding an ever shaky hand of Weiss who felt like she was being held at gun point to be married off. Blake meanwhile felt the urge to just break the guys arm or something at how de-humanizing he seemed to be making of the situation.

But before anyone could scream, yell or worse. Help came from of all people in Weiss life. That being her little brother and her mother.

"Excuse me father. I know you have reservations about this. But I think it would work, besides Ruby Rose has shown to be a rather excellent fighter if those leaked battle videos are any indication. Not to mention her heritage." Whitely started off. Seeming oddly less snarky and more serious for once. Weiss was rather perplexed by that since her brother was always bratty whenever he spoke

"Heritage?" Jacques questioned as the tone of his voice seemed to indicate that he was having a hard time believing that Ruby could be related to anyone of worth

"Whitely is right Jacques dear." Willow chimed in as there was a barely noticeable hint of disgust when saying 'Dear' just now. But she kept on "If you must know. I did a checkup myself and it appears she's related to one Xehanort. Her grandfather to be exact."

"X-Xehanort?" Jacques asked a bit nervously. As if there was one man he was honestly afraid of it would Xehanort. But that said Ruby Rose in his eyes just became a gold mine of pure upper class breeding for his future heirs. Smirking he eyed Ruby Rose again as he straightened himself out "Ahem. Excuse my rather brash words before Miss Rose. I believe I may have jumped to conclusions. I actually think that you would make the perfect spouse for Weiss. I'm sure with my resources as well, we can find some way to help you both produce an heir. Either way today has gone from worrisome to promising."

"Um thanks… but does that mean you…?" Ruby asked as she was doing all she could to not chew out the man. Knowing that he was suddenly being so nice because of who her grandfather was. Didn't help that he treated this more as just a way to make future heirs for the Schnee dynasty than anything else. But she kept calm, even if she hated it; she kept calm as this was probably the best she would get from the man

"Why of course it does Miss Rose. You have my approval, now I do hope the wedding will go off soon. Maybe a week or two will work and if you want it private or public it is up to you of course." Jacques answered with a happy tone that Weiss or anyone else in the family rarely if ever heard. The man himself standing up as he looked to Klein "Klein stay here for now and help out with whatever they need. Whitely, Willow follow me. We'll discuss your roles in these next coming weeks also."

With that Jacques made his way out without another word, Whitely and Willow got up themselves as they gave Weiss yet again to the young heiress surprise. A smile, nod then went around giving her a quick loving hug. Then the two made their way off leaving a perplex Weiss, Victor and Winter. The others confused a bit on their reactions. But Klein decided to break the ice.

"Well, that went over much better didn't it?" Klein said as everyone looked to him now and Klein cleared his throat. Before turning his attention to Ruby, Blake and HK-97 "Anyways you three must be some of the friends that Weiss here spoke of in her letters to home. Pleasure to meet you. I am Klein the ever faithful butler for the Schnee's."

"Oh ah, well nice to meet you Klein." Blake said first with a nod and smile

"Yeah totally. Glad to see your as nice as Weiss told us you were." Ruby kindly cheered as she gave the butler a smiled and nod back also

"Friendly banter: And I as well am glad to meet a fellow servant. I must thank you for taking care of Mistress Weiss, Lord Whitely and Mistress Winter as well as I've heard you have." HK-97 happily added in with a salute to the man even

"Well thank you. I do my best with them." Klein kindly said with a fatherly tone. Before his eyes suddenly changed to a more pinkish coloring "Be better than that lout of a father that be!"

Ruby and Blake at least flinch a bit from the suddenly change in eye color and change in tone. Making the man seem more like a pirate or some kind of thug then anything. But then they noticed Winter, Victor and Weiss smiling at the sudden change. HK-97 meanwhile was more curious then anything.

"Um…w-what was that?" Blake asked as she needed answers now

"Well little cousin. That's just Klein being Klein and don't worry you'll get used to it." Winter kindly answers, just accepting by now that Blake and her family; were well their family

"Yeah no need to worry. Kleins always done that and its pretty funny when you get used to it." Victor added in with a quick thumbs up

"Okay… makes sense I guess." Blake muttered as she and Ruby gave each other a look that said 'Just go with it…' and so she; and Ruby did so. Blake though happy to see Winter at least was easing up now when it came to them being related. Though was also thankful for Victors quick acceptance when he learned of it. But she focused back on Klein whose eye color changed back to normal "Anyways. I guess then I can call upon you as well. I mean if I can, or well… you know."

"Ha, it's quite fine. You and your kin are of the Schnee's too. So you will have my services whenever. The same goes to you Miss Rose, you and you kin also. You are to be of Schnee's now so again I shall lend my services to you both." Klein explained kindly as he gave Ruby and Blake a bow

"Thank you, I'm glad to know that. But just Ruby please. I like that better with my new friends." Ruby said happily as Klein simply nodded that he understood. Ruby then looked to Winter and Victor "Also it will be nice to get to know you both better as well."

"The same with you and my cousin here. I know I was a bit… frosty at first, but I can see you two have been a great help keeping my little sister's mood up. Besides were family and compared to most of the family we do know. You two and your folks are a breath of fresh air." Winter quipped as she was happier these passing days as of late then she had been most of her life beforehand

"Ain't that truth. Heck maybe you both will bring some much needed change to the family. We need it more then ever." Victor mused as he gave his soon to be new cousins a big smile "That and cause you're both way cooler already then most in the family. In other words, your fun to be around. You can take my word for it."

"D'aw you're too kind!" Ruby said as she was happy that these two were so nice already. Now she only needed time to get to know her soon to be brother in law and mother in law. She refused to get to know Jaques better. But Ruby assumed he felt the same way despite how 'nice' he'd been by the end of their little conversation. Speaking of the man she then looked to Weiss "Speaking of family. Your father is well… as much as I expected after what you told us. Maybe even a bit worse. But your mother and brother seem much nicer."

"That they do." Blake added in, as she'd been worried about the Whitely and Willow being just as bad as Jacques. Though that didn't seem to be the case for those two at least. Which Blake was happy about "From what we saw they seem a lot nicer."

"Yeah... speaking of Klein what is up with those two. I've never seen them so supportive or nice or just being actual family towards me as much as just a few minutes ago. So seriously what's going on with them?" Weiss asked as she knew people did have the capacity to change. But to her it was more with the common folk as most of the rich nobles and elites were so stuck in their selfish ways. So to see her brother and mother so loving and caring to her now. Was a bit shocking, if not nice though again shocking "Did a Geist get to them or something?!"

"I've been wondering that too. I haven't seen them much this past year. But they seem so… different." Winter added in as her own shock of seeing how different her brother and mother were. Since it had initially shook her to her core at the time when she first meet up with the them

"I don't know what you're both shocked about. I like the change, heck maybe if a Geist got to them it's for the better. Right gals?" Victor joked just a little. But a quick unamused glance from his cousins said otherwise. Victor sheepishly smile as he rubbed the back of his neck "Eh... heh. Sorry, just trying to lighten the mood."

"And for that it is well appreciated Victor. Thank you. Still, I understand the shock ladies. But honestly I can't say. All I do know is that a bit after you Weiss left to come here for training as a huntress. The day or two after to be exact. Whitely and your mother woke up the third day seeming a bit different at first. Then after a few weeks much more different. I was shocked myself and even asked. But they simply said they'd been having some help in their dreams." Klein explained as even now he had no idea what 'help' they meant. But Klein smiled a bit softer this time "But I wouldn't worry about it much. Just be happy about this personal growth in their character."

"I guess…" Weiss and Winter both muttered as they wanted more answers. But they did understand that they should just be happy for Whitely and their mothers changes. Then they felt one hand land on each of their heads. Before it ruffled their hair and a few seconds later their neat hair was now all messy much to the sister's irritation. Since they knew it had been Victor that did it "Hey!"

"Sorry but you both are overthinking it too much again. Someone's gotta keep ya out of your funk." Victor mused with a smirk as Weiss and Willow did their best to fix their hair "And you both you love me for being that fun cousin."

"Hm..." Winter grumbled. Though smiled a bit as Victor despite some annoying habits at times. Was truly a caring cousin at heart and was only looking out for them

"Fine maybe. But you're still annoying at times." Weiss sassily quipped. As she was still fixing her hair, before suddenly Victor put her in a hold that she knew he was going to mess her hair up even more "Victor don't you dare!"

"Noogie!" Victor yelled with a shit eating grin. Before he did said noogie, much to Weiss irritation at the annoying if not loving action of her cousin. Though after half a minuet HK-97 decided to cut in

"Curious Question: Amusing as this is. Mistress Weiss may I ask. But do you think Lord Whitey and Lady Willow will at least attend the wedding. I remember catching you muttering that they most likely won't, but considering the obvious changes in them. Maybe they will now. Though what do you think mistress Weiss?" HK-97 asked. As just then the nuggie stopped and Weiss was let go. Before she sighed and started to slowly fix her hair as she was in a tizzy still on that possibility

"No idea. But I doubt it, change or not…." Weiss answered as even with the changes. As much as she hated to admit it, but she still was a bit bitter towards the two considering how they were towards her before she attended Beacon. She sighed though knowing she was being a bit negative "Sorry it's just…"

"It's fine Weiss. We all understand." Winter reassured her little sister. Victor just nodded in agreement and even gave his younger cousin a thumbs up

"Yeah we do. So don't worry Weissy. Kay?" Ruby mused as she held Weiss right hand with her own hand and gave her snowflake a quick loving kiss on the cheek. Weiss blushed a bit but felt much better now

"Okay. Okay." Weiss said as she was glad that everyone here did understand where she was coming from "Still I do kind of hope they do."

"I'm sure they will Weiss. No I promise you that they will." Blake reassured as she patted her cousin on the shoulder

"Thank you, all of you. I feel much better than I did earlier. So again thank you." Weiss happily said. Before she pulled in Ruby a bit closer into a hug. Then she rested her chin on top of Ruby's head and enjoyed the moment

Everyone else just stayed quiet. Letting Weiss enjoy the peaceful moment of silence and comfort with her dear Ruby. Though for Klein, Victor and Winter especially. They were just happy to see that Weiss was smiling in much more genuinely then she ever had before coming to beacon.

---

It had been quite the month and a half so far here at Beacon...

If you asked Atlan and his wife Zia in how long it felt for them since they had made this school their temporary home. Not much had occurred too. Aside from him helping Winter out with training team RWBY, Donald and Goofy from time to time.

That and getting to know everyone else one way or another. Be it the other parents/ older siblings of those students who were here or some of the summons even. He got to know them all plenty. Though he had to admit. There was one individual he was still on the fence about, that of course being his daughters… fiancé. Jaune Arc.

Now Atlan didn't really hate the boy. More of just wanted to strangle him just a little bit considering he knocked up his daughter. But that said he would again admit. From everything his little warrior had said in her letters of the boy, they were true. Atlan could see Jaune was a good one and again he yet again hated to admit it. But at least his daughter ended up with a boy who seemed to love her back as equally as she loved them.

Avid, he wished they had waited for a bit more before doing such sexual acts or deciding to get married. But considering he was soon to be attending a wedding for Ruby and Weiss in the next he believed one or two months from now and was totally fine with it. He knew he didn't have much room to talk. Still at least he and his wife would get to be grandparents in a few months from now.

That and he had come to like his own soon to be in laws his sisters in law Saphron, Terra and his nephew to be Adrian. They were nice enough as it was. That and he knew if going by Jaune and Saphron alone. He'd come to like the rest of the Arc's once they meet. That said there was one more thing that Atlan NEEDED to do.

It was a tradition back in his village he and his wife grew up in before they wedded. One that every father to a daughter did when it came to their little girls chosen groom. His father in law had done it with him. So now it was his turn to do the same with Jaune.

Which would work out well considering that today mostly everyone else were out. Doing one thing or another with friends or family. Leaving only he, his wife, his daughter, Jaune, Terra, Saphron and Adrian here to keep an eye on things. Ozpin leaving them access to using any of the facilities if they so needed to. Which fitted him just fine.

Speaking of…

"Hahaha, gain, gain!" Adiran cheered as he was lifted up gently once more by the metal buttons of his overalls by Pyrrha. Who smiled at the little boy and soon to be her nephew "Hehe!"

"Aw look at that he's taking a liking to his Auntie Pyrrha. Isn't that right Adrian!" Saphron cheered as she recording the whole thing on her scroll and gushing at the cute moment "So cute!"

"Hehe. Always the dotting one aren't you dear." Terra mused as she smiled at her wife's dotting affection for their son. Then she turned her attention to Jaune who was smiling lovestruck by the Pyrrha. Terra smirked as she elbowed Jaune "Careful there lover boy. Smile anymore and I swear you'll get your face stuck like that."

"I ah… h-hey what's that supposed to mean?" Jaune asked in sudden embarrassment as he blushed some from his sister in laws teasing

"Nothing, nothing squirt." Terra mused as she stuck her tongue out at Jaune who did the same a few seconds later. Before they both stopped and chuckled. Then the two focused back with the others. As Pyrrha moved Adrian back into her arms. The baby boy snuggled against his new auntie Pyrrha like he'd always had known her. Much to the girls own joy at that. Terra and the others simply smiled at the scene as she decided to make some more small talk "Have to say. You've been handling Adrian well and he likes you plenty already."

"Well I use to babysit when I was younger. So I have some experience." Pyrrha mused. Before she smiled nervously as she placed her left hand on the side her own stomach "Now for my own kids. That I'm a bit worried about."

"Same. I mean taking care of a kid is one thing. But taking care of and raising your own. T-That's a bit scary, if not exciting too." Jaune added in as he gave his fiancée a nod as Pyrrha gave him a nod back

"Oh don't fret you two. You already have shown your quite skills with kids. Besides take it from me, when I was pregnant with Pyrrha I was nervous beyond belief." Zia mused and then smirked as she elbowed her husband's side "And you should have seen Atlan here. Oh boy, he was reading book after book on childcare. Never found the answer he wanted and I remember he screamed one day 'BOOKS WHY DO YOU FORSAKEN ME!'. I just came back from the grocery store when he yelled that. He blushed like a tomato when he saw me. Haha!"

"H-Hey I was just wanting to be prepared?!" Atlan quickly defended blushing some at that embarrassing memory. Then saw his future sisters in law chuckling too. He sighed a bit "Great, thanks Zia. Now they won't let me live it down."

"Hehe. Oh don't be such a sour puss. It was cute." Zia mused as she gave her husband a hug and peck on the cheek. As the man smiled a few seconds after. Glad to see her husband was happy she focused back on her daughter and Jaune "Anyways. What I'm saying is that you both are going to be wonderful parents. I promise you that."

"Thanks Mrs. Nikos. Really." Jaune thanked as he was glad to have such a nice mother in law like Zia already

"Yeah. Thanks mom, that did help a lot." Pyrrha thanked next as even if she did feel nervous still. She didn't feel as nervous now as she had before

"And if you don't mind us saying but me and Terra can see that as well. So chill a bit you're gonna do just fine." Saphron mused as Terra happily nodded in agreement

"I do too have to agree there. Despite my… issues somewhat. You two already have enough skills to raise your own." Atlan stated calmly as he crossed his arms. Before sighing as he eyed Jaune and felt bad having to bring the nice mood down. But he needed to do the test "That said. There is one more thing that needs to be done. Between me and the boy here."

"Atlan no. We're not back home." Zia quickly argued as she knew exactly what her beloved was hinting at. She hated it then because she though it was stupid and she hated it still now

"Yes daddy. Moms right, besides he doesn't need to prove anything and even if he did. Doesn't the fact he's willing to marry me prove it enough." Pyrrha pleaded as she knew also what her father meant and didn't want her dear Jaune to be subjected to such a stupid tradition even if she understood the reason for it

"I'm sorry. But what is he talking about?" Saphron asked as she, Terra and Jaune were confused at what even Atlan was going on about

"I'm talking about a tradition that's been done since the start of our village. You see for every daughter born. Before they are wedded off to their chosen groom or bride. The daughters father must fight said chosen mate. If they can beat them or last long enough to impress the father, then they have their blessing to wed." Atlan explained calmly yet sternly too

"And if they don't win?" Terra asked as she was a bit unsettled by such a tradition

"…" Atlan didn't say. Though it was clear enough for everyone else on what the outcome would be. But he sighed some as he eyed Jaune once more, who stared back at him "Look it may seem unfair or backwards. But if this boy here can't even beat an aging man like me. How can I expect him to keep my daughter and grandchildren safe. It's simple as that."

"Maybe so. But Atlan you know that practice has been up for debate for a few years now to be either banned or allowed to keep going." Zia stated calm yet stern herself as she and Atlan stared at each other now "Please don't do this. You really think some stupid bravado tradition is gonna change anything here."

"It's how your old man even allowed me near you in the first place remember." Atlan exclaimed. Kinder than before as he smiled at his wife as she smiled back

"I do. But I didn't care for the fact that you both were bedridden for a month after. It hurt my heart every time I came to see you both while recovering." Zia exclaimed as she did remember how happy she was that Atlan had won back then. But she hated the fact her father and her dearly beloved were injured gravely as a result "Do you really want to put our daughter, are soon to be in laws through that just to follow some outdated tradition. Dear please."

"She's right. Look Atlan I'm not saying whatever this tradition was didn't have its merits back then. But now a days most father in laws don't fight their daughters soon to be wedded." Saphron added in as she was a bit upset that Atlan even suggested such a thing. But she could understand his point of view when he'd explained it

"I agree. Besides Jaune has nothing to prove. He's already capable enough, you've seen it." Terra added in as she worried when she spotted Pyrrha seeming to almost succumb to a near panic attack. Only able to keep calm thanks to Jaune soothing her. It also seemed to help as Pyrrha was still holding Adrian. Who also seemed to pick up on this in his own way and was trying to help keep Pyrrha calm too. Terra sighed as she stared back at her soon to be brother in law "Atlan can't you just take our word for it?"

"I can't. I know it's not fair, but this I can't just let be." Atlan explained as he was not gonna budge one bit. Even if he felt like a complete bastard right now for ruining the mood so much

"Father please I'm begging you. Jaune doesn't-" Pyrrha pleaded once more. Only for Jaune to cut in all of sudden

"Alright fine then." Jaune said rather sternly himself for once as everyone else eyed the young man who had a rare serious gaze in his eyes. Jaune standing up moments later, keeping his gaze upon Atlan "You and me then. I know Ozpin probably left everything on for us to use. So let's do this."

"Jaune, but-" Pyrrha began to say in a stunned stupor, only for Jaune to kindly cut her off once more

"Pyrrha. I know what I'm doing and I ask that you trust me on this. Besides it's me. When have I ever given you a reason to worry?" Jaune reassured. Giving the girl a kind smile as Pyrrha sighed but smiled back

"Fine. But you better get to listening to me more once were married." Pyrrha teased as Jaune chuckled some

"Heh. I'll remember that." Jaune mused. Then he looked to his sister and sister in law "Don't worry you two. I'll be fine. Honest."

"I'd usually be against it… but I know you and when you're stubborn, you're stubborn." Saphron mused as she gave her little brother a smile "Just be safe okay. I worry still."

"Double that for me." Terra added in as she gave her little brother in law a smile too

"Gah!" Adrian cheered from Pyrrha's hold. Jaune couldn't help but feel more invigorated from the support

"Thanks." Jaune happily muttered before facing his soon to be father in law. Who was still calm as ever so far today "So…"

"Let's go." Atlan said. Then started make his way out and to what everyone assumed would be the combat court

Jaune meanwhile took a moment before making his way out too. Then Saphron who this time happily took Adrian from Pyrrha's hands. Then once secured with her baby boy in her arms. She made her way out followed by Terra. Finally Zia got up and gave her daughter a quick reassuring hug, before both she and Pyrrha made their way out.

It didn't take too long either since by now everyone knew the school well enough to remember which rooms were which. So after about ten minutes of walking, could have been five if not for all the stairs and corners. But still they made it to the combat court. With the aura counter still on and a small instruction guide for one of the group to read on how to use it properly.

Which ended up being Terra who was the more tech savvy of the group. So as she kept an eye on the aura meter display. Zia decided to play as the referee and lay down the rules that were used during this trial. Pyrrha sat on the benches in the court next to Saphron who held Adrian in her lap as the baby boy watch in confusion on what was even going on.

Though for the two doing this trial. Jaune stood on the right side near the others. His shield and sword in hand as he was doing his best to not freak out just a bit. Not that he didn't have reason to be worried despite his want to do this combat trial. It was more to the fact that he was pretty much going up against the guy who taught Pyrrha how to fight.

Not that Zia hadn't from what Jaune had learned. She had taught Pyrrha some things she knew when it came to combat. But Zia wasn't a fighter. She was more of a doctor actually. Atlan on the other hand, well the man might be aging and already past his prime. But holy son of Grimm he was intimidating still. That and again he taught Pyrrha most of if not nearly everything about combat. Which was… terrifying to realize considering Pyrrha's reputation before even joining Beacon. So again Jaune did have more than enough reason to be a bit nervous still.

"So ready boy?" Atlan asked calmly if not with a hint of teasing when he said 'Boy', which irked Jaune just a bit. Though that was over shadowed when he noticed the weapon the man was using

For which was a spear like Pyrrha's. Expect this one was just that, a spear. An old and weathered thing to be exact as it had a worn metal pole for the body. With weathered dark brown leather wrappings around the center of it, a second set of wrappings near the lower half and another on the upper half near the spear head. Speaking of the spear head. That was made of bone and if by Jaunes guess. Grimm bones to be exact. Which only added to the unnerving aspect there considering how incredibly hard if barely possible it was to collect the bones of Grimm in the first place. You know since their bodies evaporate a few seconds after you kill them. Still the spear may have looked old, but it rightfully gave off an aura of its own. One of experience and a lot of death by its spearhead.

But Jaune saw Atlan also had a shield he had strapped around his left arm and unlike Pyrrha's shield which was big. His was smaller. Small enough that it barely popped past his forearm. But it too looked worn. As the gold that had once covered it had blotches of it missing and showing the plain steel under it. It too gave off an aura of experience and oddly even more death then the spear. Maybe because it had a pointed tip that pasted the upper half of his hand just enough that it looked more like a secondary weapon then a shield.

But before Jaune could give himself any more reason to actually be worried. Zia quickly cut in and brought him back to the moment now.

"Alright. Now then boys, we know why we're here. Even if most of us are against this. It has been decided that Jaune Arc will be fighting be facing off against Atlan Niko's for the right to wed Pyrrha Niko's." Zia answered, before she sighed and faced Jaune with a small smile "Now Jaune the rules are simple. There are two ways to win, first and most obvious is to beat my husband in combat or you last until the five minute time limit is up. Either way it's all on you in the end. Good luck."

Jaune simply gave a nod to Zia before facing Atlan with his sword and shield ready for battle. Atlan did the same. The two standing ready as they waited for the signal to go. This in the form of Zia starting it. Again even if she was against this particular tradition. She decided to at least help a bit. So the two men waited and waited for a good few seconds, before she decided now was better than ever.

"FIGHT!" Zia screamed before moving off the duel ring

It wasn't seconds later before Atlan lunged right at Jaune in a blinding speed. Jaune barely able to block the thrust attack as sparks flew off his shield. Then before Jaune could even try to think of countering Atlan's attack. Atlan leaped back just a bit before thrusting the end of his spear a few quick dozen times. Each hit forcing Jaune back just a bit more and more as sparks flew off. But after the eleventh hit. Jaune decided enough was enough.

Jaune for his part was a quick learner. Which is why he was able to learn so much from Pyrrha in a short-ish amount of time. But he noticed each strike Atlan did, no matter how fast had a four second delay. So as Atlan pulled back to do one last thrust before pushing forward. Jaune at the fourth second used his shield with all his might. With enough force that it forced Atlan's spear to veer off the right a bit. Jaune seeing the opening, swung his first blow at the man. As it grazed him just a bit. But Jaune then felt the tip of Atlan's shield hit his back. Sending him against the ground as he rolled for moment before landing on his feet if barely as he almost tripped. But steading himself.

Without missing a beat Jaune then charged at Atlan again as the man swung his spear from his left using all his force to hit Jaune. But Jaune yet again surprised everyone aside from Pyrrha as he ducked under the spear barely taking a hit on his forehead seconds before. Jaune then was about to jab Atlan in the stomach with the end of his sword. Only Jaune was also in for a surprise of his own.

As when Jaune made his mark with his attack. Instead of hitting the older man. Jaunes sword hit nothing and instead went right through and ethereal blue specter in the shape of Atlan. Who leaped over Jaune and landed behind the young man. Before turning back to his solid form. Then Atlan swung the side his spear head against Jaune's face, then did it once more before Jaune through his pain dodged the third swing.

As Jaune did so remembering what Pyrrha did once when she fought during class period. He charged with his shield in front of him. As he rammed his shield into Atlan's chest. The older man rolled on his back, before lying flat on it. Atlan a few seconds after slowly sat back up taking in a few deep breaths. Then saw Jaune kneeling on his left knee and taking in a few deep breaths of his own. Both men slowly than getting back up as everyone else worriedly watched the fight. Aside from Adrian who again was just confused on what was even going on.

Still as Atlan and Jaune got back up. If by maybe just having the same idea or by some odd warrior's link that had formed between the two future in laws. Both Jaune and Atlan threw their weapons, then shields down onto the ground. Before Jaune got into a boxer's stance and Atlan a more jujitsu type stance. Before any of the women could make an objection to just stop the fight. Jaune and Atlan let out battle cries as they ran at each other before colliding.

It wasn't half a minute before Zia and Saphron at least were pinching the bridge of their noses. Seeing now just a grown man and a nearly grown teenage boy. Stubbornly punching and kicking each other. They weren't even using their own fighting styles anymore for dust sakes. It was just tried sloppy punches and kicks.

"Is… is this for real?" Terra asked. She no idea how it even came to this. Meanwhile Adrian now in her arms was even more confused. Terra's own left eye twitching just a bit from the stupidity that this trial turned into "For REAL?"

"Sadly yeah it is… I guess these two are more alike than I thought." Zia exclaimed. Eyeing her husband and Jaune who were now just laying onto each other solid right hooks to the face. The only attack they could do left apparently "Really alike."

"Why…" Pyrrha muttered as this was a bit embarrassing to watch she'll admit. Though at least it would be a funny memory years from now, but that was then and now was now

"Well at least this can be considered a bonding experience. Speaking of, how much longer because I can only take so much stupid." Saphron mused as she sighed and half smiled at the scene before her "That and the fact lunch is coming up. I wanted some time to cook up some food for us."

"Not too long now. See." Zia answered. Pointing to the aura counter, showing both Jaune and Atlan had been doing just enough damage to get their auras nearing the red zone

"Oh wow that was quick." Saphron mused as she didn't think the fight would go this quickly

"Not surprising, daddy is our best warrior ever since grandfather passed a few years ago. But Jaune too has been and not to sound prideful. But he has been learning quite a bit from me when it comes to combat and has been improving quickly." Pyrrha happily said. As a proud soon to be wife when it came to her soon to be husbands training. But also a proud teacher seeing her student learning and retaining so much that she taught "Oh how proud I am of him."

"Hehe, that's-" Zia began to say as she found it cute at how much of a proud and dotting wife her daughter was being already. But as she said that a loud beep echoed as she and the others looked to see their boys, and well…

Both Atlan and Jaune were now both out cold in the ground. A double knockout as it seemed. So as the two laid there, the girls couldn't help but be a bit disappointed that it came to this. But it was a bit amusing too. Though most important was that they were just relieved it was over with.

"Well let's go see to our idiots." Terra mused as she got up and made her way to where their boys were

"Let's just hope it knocked some sense into them." Zia joked as Terra chuckled in agreement

But as the two did Pyrrha and Saphron stayed behind, while Adrian was back in Saphron's arms. Saphron then looked to Pyrrha.

"Well Pyrrha if you don't mind me saying." Saphron said kindly as Pyrrha turned her focus to her future sister in law. Who was giving her a sweet smile as she continued "Welcome to the family."

"I…" Pyrrha tried to say. But almost teared up in joy at those words though kept it in as she just smiled back "I'm glad to be a part of it Saphron. Truly I am."

Pyrrha then alongside her future sister in law waited for her mother and Terra to fix the boys up. But she felt quite joyful of knowing soon her family would get even bigger and then later much bigger. She felt blessed beyond belief.

Curious...

That was at least what Ruby and Yang were as they sat with their grandfather inside the school's library. Their grandfather reading a book while the sisters just talked. Today was just one of those days the girls wanted to spend time with their grandfather. Especially considering some questions they had.

Well it was more of just one question they had. One they never knew how, when or if they should ask in the first place. But it was a question that had been on their mind since they could speak. So as the two sisters sat and talked. They stopped when this question came to mind once more. Looking to their grandfather who was reading his book still. The sisters nodded to one another as they seemed to have the same idea. Yang taking the lead to finally ask this long awaited question.

"Hey, um Grandpa." Yang said. As Xehanort took a moment before putting his books down and faced the girls with a smile

"Yes Yang. What did you need?" Xehanort asked as he was always happy to talk with his granddaughters

"Well not to ask out of the blue. But me and Ruby just didn't know when to ask this. But um... what did you know about our...ah, great grandparents?" Yang asked as she and Ruby waited to see what their grandfather would say

"Ah… haha. I had a feeling you'd ask one day. But don't worry I know plenty about them. Gather around your grandfather you two. I have a few things to tell you and show you." Xehanort kindly stated as Ruby and Yang did just that

The sisters then quickly situated themselves next to their grandfather. Their excitement already becoming more and more apparent as Xehanort smiled seeing it. So, taking out his rather outdated scroll he slowly started to skim through to find a certain file. Once he was there much to his granddaughter relief considering he wasn't as tech savvy as they were. He opened the file as a few images popped up. Barley able to tell what they were as the sisters stared. Xehanort chuckled before clicking on one of the pictures.

When it came up. It showed a rather surprising image of what looked like a much younger Xehanort and a young girl next to him. The sisters stared at the picture in awe as they realized who these two just by looks. But they were also awestruck by the girl's beauty.

The girl in the picture looked just like Ruby aside from her long warm black hair. Though she had silver eyes too like Ruby did. What she wore was so simple, though it only seemed to add to the girl's beauty. As it was blue summer dress with a pair of brown sandals, a silver bracelet on her right wrist and a blue head band with a red rose attached to it. She truly was beauty incarnate if one were to describe her.

"Whoa, is that..." Ruby began to say

"It must be Ruby. That's Grandma and she was so beautiful when she was a teen. Oh and look at you Grandpa. You had hair back then!" Yang stated as she was surprised at how different her grandparents seemed back then from this picture alone

"Heh that I did. But yes as you see this was I and your grandmother after we meet. Your great grandmother was the one who took this picture." Xehanort explained. Then he changed the photo to a new woman "And this my dears was your great grandmother. Alania Rose."

The woman in question looked also like how Ruby, her mother and grandmother did. Aside from a bit more of a mature angular face and somewhat narrowed eyes. Her eyes also silver while her hair was tied in a ponytail and had bangs hanging in the front. Speaking of, her hair was a scarlet red with hints of black at the tips. Top it off with what she was wearing and she could be considering gorgeous even by today's standards. As it was a short sleeved white buttoned up shirt, a pair of knee length blue jeans with a pair of black pumps and knee high grey stocks. Again she was rather gorgeous and the sisters knew even Coco the fashion loving friend of theirs would be gushing over how fabulous the outfit was.

"Wow..." Yang said as she felt even giddier seeing her great grandmother for the first time. Even if it was a picture of when she was a younger woman

"Totally. This feels like looking into a time capsule or something. So cool!" Ruby stated. Feeling like she was uncovering lost knowledge to a past she and Yang had never known till now

"I thought you'd like that. She was a sweet woman and she would have loved you both. But she was scary at times too if you ticked her off. Though again a very loving woman to have as a mother in law." Xehanort said with a small smile. Though as happy as he was happy to share this. He was hopping the girls wouldn't ask about the great grandfather. Not that he had hated his father in law. No, they got along great after a while. It was just that... the man was hard to describe even now

"So cool. But what about great grandpappy?" Ruby asked suddenly as Xehanort internal groaned. As he should have known Ruby and Yang would be too smart to forget his father in law

"Yeah. Have any pics of him?" Yang asked as Xehanort sighed for a moment but smiled still

"I do. Give me moment then. Your grandfather wasn't one you'd call photogenic." Xehanort replied back as he started to go through his scroll. It was about a minute or so more as the sisters waited. But finally Xehanort found a picture "Ah there we go. I swear even in death that man... ahem. Anyways girls this is your great grandfather. Eivor Rose."

As the girls looked upon the photo their grandfather had. They were very surprised at how different the man looked from what they thought he would be. That and they could already tell how uncanny their great grandfather must have seemed when paring him next to their great grandmother.

Said man had peach skin and dirty blonde hair tied in a rather odd hair style that ended with a braided ponytail. He also had a short if not somewhat groomed dirty blonde beard and a black tattoo on this side of his head apparently with black paint over his blue eyes. What he wore though was what was the oddest to the girls. As it was a mixture of dark blue, red, gold, white cloths and brown leather. The clothing seemed padded on some areas while his hands were gloved and he also sported a hooded fur line cloak. Also he had golden bracers, leg guards along with a well crafted axe in hanging off his right side and finally a shield that the girls swore they saw had the imagine of a raven on it. Though there was one more thing. He had some kind of golden gadget attached to the upper part of his right arm bracer. What it was the girls didn't know. It was odd though. As it seemed otherworldly.

All in all the girl could say with full honesty that compared to their sweet and kind looking great grandmother. Their great grandfather was the complete opposite and an extremely intimidating looking man that no one. Not even Yang would have wanted to fight one on one.

"Whoa..." Ruby and Yang muttered while Xehanort chuckled some

"Heh. That's one way to describe the man. You should have seen him when he meet me though." Xehanort said in a joking manner as Ruby and Yang chuckled a bit

Though Xehanort still had clear memories of how painful it was when he and Eivor first meet. Like very painful, unnecessarily painful. Just… it was pain, pure agonizing pain that last only a few seconds then. But went on as phantom pain to even now. He remembered it like it was only yesterday.

.

.

"So anyways dad this is Xehanort. My new friend and he'll be staying with us for a bit!"

"Ah...um. Ahem, sorry for the intrusion. B-But nice to meet you Mr. Rose. heh...heh."

"Hm... nice to meet you too."

"Ouch not the hand. NOT THE HAND!"

"DADDY!"

"EIVOR!"

"WORTH IT!"

.

.

Yeah... probably hadn't been the best idea to shake the man's hand after his wife had introduced to him out of the blue like that. Didn't help when he and his wife started to date a bit later on during that year. Then he really learned how scary protective Eivor was when it came to his daughter. Xehanort couldn't help but shiver a bit from the memory at how tense it had been for a while after. Thankfully he and Eivor got along better by the time he married his wife.

"Hm..." Xehanort just hummed at the memory. While his granddaughters just got done chuckling at his kind of joke. He decided to speak some more on their great grandparents since they seemed curious more than ever. Besides it was nice talking about those two as he missed them even now "Anyways girls here's an interesting fact. Did you know that your great grandparents were part of the reason Vale here has been so successful?"

"Wait really?" Yang asked as she and Ruby were surprised yet again "How did they do that grandpa. Also does that mean we're technically kind of like royals of Vale then?"

"Does that mean I could get free cookies and candy if I asked nicely enough!" Ruby wondered with stars in her eyes

"Heh. I wouldn't go that far dear child. But in a sense you both are. Why do you think at times it was cheaper for you both when maybe buying clothing or food on your own." Xehanort mused as the girls took a moment. Then it clicked to them that their grandfather was right as they had noticed that if they ever were a few lien short that they seemed to get some kind of 'sudden' discount

"Huh that's kind of making sense now." Yang muttered

"Yeah. So that's why my cookies were always like super cheap to buy!" Ruby said with a big smile "That is so cool. So that means our great grandparents were like famous?"

"I guess you could say that. Your great grandmother was a big help in setting up trade routes for Vale and even Atlas at one point." Xehanort explained and smiled seeing his granddaughters at awe even more than before. But then frowned a bit when it came to Eivor "Your great grandfather on the other hand well… let's just say his reputation was partially from the fact he was Vales guardian back then when it was still growing. But more on the fact of all the Grimm he killed in his time."

"How many did he kill?" Yang questioned as she and Ruby were curious on that. Though they were confused on why their grandfather was hesitating some

"Hm… I guess you can say quite a few my dear. More than anyone in this time even. His tales were made into stories too believe it or not. Very famous ones by the name of 'The Woodland Hunter' if that name means any-" Xehanort began to say. Before his granddaughters began to squeal in glee "I take it you have heard of the stories then?"

"Heard, heard. Grandpa those stories were some our favorites growing up!" Ruby explained as she was doing her best to not freak out. She quickly faced her big sister who seemed to be feeling the same as her "Like remember the tale from book ten. You know, the one that had the hunter fight off against a horde of a thousand Beowulf's!"

"I love that one. Oh how about the tale from book thirty when he fought off a supposed Hydra Grimm while saving a cart full of orphan kids!" Yang geeked out herself alongside her baby sister

-"Shesh. The writers really did take some liberties with Eivors exploits. Not that any aren't untrue, just not as epic as some of these sound. The man would have probably hated how his tales were written. Probably would have beaten the authors to near death too. Though might be best if I don't tell the girls that it wasn't only Grimm he killed. Thankfully no one seemed to want to make stories of those times."- Xehanort thought before he decided to address his granddaughters "Well it seems you are more well informed about those tales then I believed. Good to know my dears."

"Well totally grandpa. The Woodland Hunter is like super popular!" Ruby answered back with a big smile "Me and Yang always wanted to be like him when we grew up!"

"Heck yeah. A super amazing hero. Haha!" Yang cheered next as she and Ruby wondered if anyone else famous was related to them

"Well that's… nice my dears. But before you get too much into hero worship. You should take head of what I'm about to say next. Your great grandfather wanted me to tell his great grandchildren this if they ever asked about him. Old man made me remember it word for word after I married your grandmother too, longest month of my life… anyway. He said this." Xehanort said as he cleared his throat before reciting the long awaited message "To my great grandchildren I shall sadly never meet thanks to time and all of its bull… ahem skipping that part. Now where was I…right… My ranting aside. I shall tell you this as to help deter you from doing anything too haphazard or at least fool hardy. You will hear stories of me I'm sure, all are true but most will likely be exaggerated. Especially after my death. If so then I urge you to not worship me or this persona formed around me. I am not someone to look up to. Before I meet your great grandmother, Odin rest her soul. I was a… let's say bad man. I didn't at the time know what I did was considered immoral. But your great grandmother made sure I learned otherwise. Especially after a few incidents when we first meet. What I'm saying is this. My great grandchildren. If you ever decided to be hunters or huntresses. Remember that it's not fun and games. It's a very serious and dangerous manner. Life's depend on you. but I know if you choose that path. You'll do amazing I mean how can you not. You are of my legacy after all. I will end this off on a good note though. I want to know that even if I never will meet you. I already love you dearly and know your great grandmother does too. We'll be watching over you, that I promise. Yours truly, your great grandfather Eivor Rose. And that's what he said my dears."

Ruby and Yang just stayed quiet though. Mainly because they hadn't expected to hear that today. But also it had made them wonder on a few things now involving their great grandfather. Primarily on what he meant when he said, he had been a 'bad person'. At least in the context that their great grandmother had to make sure he learned that the stuff he had done was considered 'Immoral'. But maybe it was best not to ask on that. They were honestly just happy to learn at all about their family. So they smiled a bit as they looked to their grandfather and then hugged him.

Not another word was said. But Xehanort had a feeling the girls were happy to learn even a bit about their great grandparents. He missed them both dearly himself and it was nice talk about them.

Though for Ruby and Yang. This day of surprised would not be over yet.

For it was soon turned to the night as team RWBY slumbered. Blake and Weiss in their own beds tonight as they had gone to sleep earlier today. So Ruby and Yang coming in later hadn't wanted to disturb the two. Then they ended up sleeping in the same bed as today's story had made the sister feel nostalgic. That and Yang would never say no to just dotting on her baby sister.

So as the sisters slumbered next to one another. The night winds outside blowing the trees near the school. A lone raven with a missing left eye and a curious glint in its right eye watched from a far. Before it flew off the branch it was perched on and flew right towards and through the window of team RWBY's room. Somehow in silence without even breaking the window glass. As it just flew right through it like it wasn't even there.

The raven then landed right above the slumbering Ruby and Yang. Before it turned into mist that sprinkled upon the sisters as seconds later it was gone without a trace. At least it was in the physical realm…

.
.

It was a void darkness with only fog surrounding the sisters Ruby and Yang slowly began to sit back up as they groaned some.

It was odd for the two as they swore they had just been dreaming their own realties. Be it Yang who had dreamed of well… ahem, doing a lot of things with Blake. Or Ruby sitting inside nice home as Weiss baked her a batch of cookies for her. While their two kids ran around happily playing with a puppy. It had been all very nice for the sisters. But now the two had awakened into the mist filled voidness of a dreamscape. As they took quick notice of their surroundings. They also realized that they were connected once more. Like before when they, Blake and Weiss had that weird dream months ago.

"So… this is weird." Ruby said as she and Yang took a few more moments to fully wake up. Before standing back up "I mean I was really having a nice dream about my Weissy. Now I'm stuck here!"

"Ugh same. I was having such a great dream about Blake letting me… ah…" Yang started to say. Before she corrected herself as to not in her mind. Corrupt her pure baby sister. Ruby just stared at her deadpanned as she already knew what Yang was gonna say "W-What?"

"You're a pervert big sis." Ruby sassily answered. As she loved that Yang dotted on her still. But she swore sometimes she felt like she was still being treated like a baby. She was freaking fifteen and had already had sex with Weiss a while back. So it wasn't like she didn't know what sex was… still at least Yang was like this at times because of how much she cherished her as a little sister

"W-What. No I'm not missy!" Yang argued with a blush. As she hated it at times when her little sister acted like a big girl. She wanted her little sister to be her baby sister still. But she also was proud in an odd parental/ sibling manner too. She sighed some as she kept her cool and bopped the top of Ruby's head. Deciding two can play that game "Not like you're any better. I've read your diary-"

"Battle Journal and you what?!" Ruby yelled as she really started to blush. Knowing that Yang probably saw… EVERYTHING when it came to certain thoughts about Weiss. Before and after they got engaged

"Not my fault you suck at hiding it. I mean under your pillow, come on. That's just screaming read me!" Yang kept on as she smirked a bit. Then pulled Ruby into a one arm hug "Though gotta say. Didn't peg you for a legs and feet girl. Kinky, odd but kinky. But makes sense when I'd catch you here and there looking a bit longer then you should at Weiss legs and feet whenever we were in our pajamas. Dirty little sister."

"W-Wait you saw th- I MEAN ah… I…I…ah…." Ruby tried to deny. But she had already outed herself as she saw Yang smirk widen. Ruby just wanted to just hide under a rock now as she pouted some "Yang you're being a meanie. It's not my fault I find every aspect of Weiss attractive. Especially some areas of her more then others at times. It's not weird fetish stuff, it's normal to look at your future spouse like that. You hear me. Normal!"

"Da'w. My baby sister is embarrassed now that her fetishes are known by her big sister. But don't worry, weird fetishes or not. I still love you. Oh yes I do!" Yang teased as she hugged Ruby close. Like in an annoying manner as she patted Ruby's head with her left hand while keeping Ruby in the one arm hug with her right "Who's a good baby sister. You are, you are!"

"YANG!" Ruby whined. Doing what she could to break free. Though after maybe a few seconds she just gave up as she knew Yang was stronger than her. As she pouted some more in defeat. But then she then heard Yang start to chuckle in more heartfelt manner. Then Ruby feeling less embarrassed and started to chuckle too "Hehe. Heh…. Hehehehe!"

The sister then started to laugh as Yang let go of Ruby. These moments always reminded the two of how close they were as sisters. Being so at ease that they could talk and tease about each other's sex lives. It was honestly sweet and not long after the two had ceased laughing. They then hugged one another.

"Heh… love you Ruby." Yang said kindly. Then stroked her fingers through Ruby's hair for a few moments like she used to when they were younger

"Love you back Yang." Ruby replied back as she was glad for moments like these with her big sister. Dream or not

Though the moment of teasing if not also sisterly bonding was cut short. As from the sisters left someone had been there watching the scene before them. Only now deciding to make themselves known as they coughed loudly

"Ahem." The stranger or a man suddenly said. As the sisters flinched for a moment. Letting go of one another before eyeing the man to their left

The man in question wore an interesting get up that was for sure. As it a mixture of blue primary, golden lined and brown leather clothing plus boots, and bracers. Over the clothing was engraved golden armor. From a chest plate, leg guards, neck guard etc. He was already seeming rather intimidating. But the fur lined hooded cloak in similar colors as his clothing added to that. The man face could be barley seen. Aside from bits of his light skin tone. He also sported a big bushy dirty blonde beard and what the girls swore was a brown leather, gold engraved eyepatch.

Again this man was rather intimidating and the girls swore he looked very similar to what the picture of their great grandfather had looked. But that might have been a trick of the mind. Still the man continued on as he smirked just a bit.

"Sorry I just wanted to say I'm here. But go on, I like the gossip." The man calmly said. Though in a manner that seemed like he was just making a light hearted joke. But his deep and rather calm tone didn't convert that as the girls just stared at him. While he stared back, which started to get on Yang's nerves

"Okay… sorry but who are you?" Yang asked irritably. As she and Ruby were already feeling a bit wary of this strange man

"..." The man didn't say though. As he just stared at the girls more. Which only fueled the uneasy feeling that they had. Then the man decided he might as well be honest, even if they wouldn't know of him "Odin."

"Odin…" Ruby muttered as she swore she and Yang had heard that name earlier today. Even if it was just a split second

"Weird name." Yang quipped as she also felt the same Ruby. Though she knew she and her had heard that name earlier today. From their great grandfather's message. But wait it couldn't be the same Odin. Maybe it was just a somewhat common name. Still the man shrugged at the statement. Before he moved a bit closer. Then knelt down as he continued starting at her and Ruby. Studying them now. Which again irritated Yang at least to no end as she pulled sister closer to her "Okay first but back off dude. Second, I'm gotta ask again. But seriously what are you doing. You're giving us creeper vibes ya know?"

"Hm... you really do come from his blood. Even if only one is by honor rights alone. Blood is blood in the end." Odin muttered. A small smile forming just a bit under his hood as he seemed happy with Ruby and Yang

"Um what was that mister?" Ruby asked. Since she and her sister had only heard a quick murmur

"Nothing. No need to worry your little heads about it. I'm simply happy is all." Odin answered. Then he stood up and continued on "That said. I know of the things you, your friends and loved ones will be facing soon."

"You mean the heartless?" Yang asked narrowing her eyes a bit and crossed her arms "You were spying on us or something. Because no offense. But that's total creeper memo right there. Next you'll say you raid our panty drawers while were in class."

"Y-Yeah and if you are. We'll like beat you up. Got it weirdo!" Ruby added in. Trying to be as tough sounding as she could. But her size and voice just made her look unintentionally adorable. Yang internally was gushing and Odin actually seemed to almost start laughing but kept it in. He instead smiled at the sisters fiery spirits

"Heh. You two even have his sharp tongue. I actually believe you'd back those threats up." Odin muttered once more. Still it was surreal to him how alike yet how different these two were when it came to Eivor. Though to ease the two he raised his right hand up "Be at ease though children. I only did so when needed and it was only to make sure you both were safe from harm. I even took care of a few of those heartless and what you call Grimm. It was fun I'll be honest. It's been a while since I last fought any manner of beasts."

"Whoa are you like some hunter or something?" Ruby asked as her interest was piqued suddenly from that possibility. Weird guy or not, he could give her and her big sis some pointers. Then they could give Weiss and Blake pointer once they learned all they could

"If you really are. No offense but you look kind of like a well dressed murder hermit. One that hasn't had a bath in like years." Yang stated. Before Ruby gave her a light elbow to the side "Ahem. Heh, again no offense."

"None taken. I've been called much worse by many. Still I hear you two are trying to become huntresses. A noble goal, if not a dangerous one for young ladies such as you." Odin stated. As his tone became more stern as he crossed his arms

"Hey what's that supposed to mean. We're not some scared little girls ya know!" Yang yelled first as she didn't appreciate that comment one bit

"Totally and besides we know that it's gonna be dangerous. That's what we signed up for. But if we can keep people safe then it's worth it!" Ruby yelled next as she gave the man a somewhat more intimidating glare "So don't treat us like little kids mister. Got it!"

"Heh. I apologize then. Though I see you two defiantly seem to be committed to this. Well, if that's your cause I wish you the best." Odin exclaimed with a softer tone "Again you're both like him in so many ways."

"Hey um can I ask. You keep saying were like him, who are you talking about?" Ruby asked as she and Yang had caught that few times so far

"Why your great grandfather of course. I... knew him you could say and I'll be honest. Meeting you two really reminds me of him. In more ways then one." Odin answered as he would have answered as much as he could seeing the girls realized that they could learn from him. But before he could suddenly the girls began to glow a bit "Hm well that's unfortunate."

"What's happening?" Yang questioned in a slight panic as she and Ruby had no idea if this was a good or bad thing

"Simple. You're awakening. Sad really but I could only do so much to get you here. Shame really, I would have liked to speak with you more." Odin explained as the girls were now fading away

"W-Wait what if we have more questions. Will we ever be able to see you again?!" Ruby said as she and Yang for some reason felt a sudden deep sadness havingt to leave Odin already

"Yeah. Look maybe you were a bit creepy at first. But we still want to see you again!" Yang added in as she was starting to actually tear up some. Which again was odd since she and her little sister had barely known this man

"Don't worry girls. We may never speak or see each other again. Your memories may fade to only this dream being a blur. But I promise you that I will be looking over you both in my own way. I Odin, one of Gods your great grandfather revered promise this to you both." Odin exclaimed. With a small smile as seconds later the girls vanished. Once they were gone Odin sighed as he looked up into the darkness of this foggy dream world "Still who Know's girls. Maybe if you believe it hard enough we will see each other again. Who knows... still stay safe young ladies. You have quite the journey ahead of you."

Odin then started to vanish too. Though he was at peace knowing that the girls would be ready for anything if this meeting told him enough. Though as he faded into nothing for the time. He smiled at one last thing. As he knew also that despite this journey ahead for the girls of team RWBY. That they would one day become warriors with no equals and he for one couldn't wait see that day become a reality...

.

.

.

It was now the middle of the new day...

The girls of team RWBY having a day off now of everything to hang out with one another. It was nice so far for the sets of two couples/ future in laws. Be it Blake letting Yang hold her close in just a one arm hold as they walked down the forest edge of the school. Or be it Weiss and Ruby holding one another's hand. With Ruby skipping just a bit. While Weiss did her best to not squeal at how cute her fiancée was as always. Especially when she was skipping.

Though as they enjoy the walk around the forests edge at the school. Weiss decided to speak up finally after the good five minutes of silence.

"So you two see more chipper today. Any reason why?" Weiss asked. Though was happy to see the two in better spirits then they had been the past nearly three months now, aside from the few moments of joyful events

"I've noticed to. Not an issue of course but it's nice to see you both in better spirits." Blake added in

"Thanks Blakey. But yeah guess you could say that. Don't remember why really, but all I do know is that I feel like I've meet someone super cool. If not odd too. Does that make sense?" Yang answered as she really had no idea why she felt so chipper today. Not that she wasn't already usually despite how stressful the past nearly three months had been. It was simply that it was more than usual on this day is all. She eyed her baby sister with a teasing smirk "Ruby did you put sugar in the coffee again?"

"UGH. Yang it was one time and you should be thanking me. That stiff is icky and gross. It needed some sugar darn it all!" Ruby pouted as the others got a quick laugh from that. Making Ruby pout some more "Hmmm..."

"Oh Ruby you know I'm only teasing baby sis. Love ya." Yang mused as she would never stop looking at Ruby as the baby she helped raise after their mother passed

"I know...love ya too Yang." Ruby said back as she smiled back at her big sister. Before she then began to ponder on the question from before "Though to be honest. I feel the same way too. Don't know why."

" Well if anything-" Weiss began to say, before her scroll began to ring. Stopping as she let go of Ruby's hand then took her scroll out and smiled at who it was "Victor. Hello cousin, is something the matter?"

["In a sense. But I did want to call and say hi for one. Been so busy helping with the school's cyber defenses that I haven't been able to see you or Blake for a bit. Though I did call for another reason. I got some of intel that there might be soon a hate rally against you and Blake. You know for the whole blood relations thing. You know how those nut jobs get. Anyways I wanted to call and discuss a few plans once they start the hate rally. Mind if you get Blake to join in on this call. It won't be too long."] Victor explained

Weiss just sighed a bit. Having a feeling the nut cases would try something like this sooner or later. Still she looked at Blake and motioned her over to her. Blake nodded back before giving Yang a quick peck on the lips. Then moved over to Weiss as she put Victor on speaker.

Though as those two talked with Victor. Ruby and Yang moved next to one another to wait. Both sighing some as they looked to each other as neither still had any idea on why they were feeling so chipper today. Not that it was a bad thing. Far from it. It was only that ever since their shared dream nearly three months ago. It had made the sisters wary off dreams in general. But as they ponder, they suddenly heard something from the tress above them.

"Caw, caw!" A one eyed raven cawed as the sisters quickly looked up. Seeing the raven staring back down at them, which kind of creeped the sisters out a bit even if they were more curious then anything about the one eyed avian

Though what was even weirder was that this raven was alone. No other of its kin in sight or even in hearing distance. But as the ravens stared and stared. The sisters staring back. It wasn't until a few seconds later before some kind of barley rememberable memory came. Along with a singular name that seemed to fit the odd bird.

"Odin?" Ruby and Yang muttered. Before their attention was changed to their partners as they overheard Weiss and Blake saying their goodbyes now

"Alright Victor thank you again. I'm sure this plan will work just fine enough. Okay tata." Weiss finished off kindly as she hung up. Before she let out a sigh "Well that out of the way now. At least we have a plan just in case... no, when things go haywire."

"That we do Weiss. Just sucks we have to deal with this." Blake groaned as she swore the universe hated her family for some reason

"I know cousin. I know... just one of the many bumps in life." Weiss exclaimed as she felt like she needed a hot bath when they got back to their room. That and to snuggle with Ruby

"Everything fine snowflake?" Ruby asked concerned as she and Yang moved back up to them

"Heh...ahem. Yes everything is fine. No need to worry my little rose." Weiss answered. Blushing just a bit at the cute nickname before she calmed herself down "Victor just was going over some safety plans just in case me, Blake or both of us are caught in the sights of a few... extremists. At least in a few days from now. But again nothing bad. Now chop, chop. We're burning day light and I for one want to go shopping before it gets dark. I wanted to see if we could but a few gifts for the summons. Just as a memento for them. So again let's move it ladies."

"You heard the queen gals. Let's get a move on." Blake teased

"Must you?" Weiss grumbled as her cousin passed by with that smirk of hers. Weiss could only roll her eyes as she followed behind

"Haha. I love this family." Yang chuckled as she followed behind too

Though as she did. Ruby stayed back for a moment before eyeing the one eyed raven once more. As she did and it stared back at her for a few moments. Ruby slowly, if not genuinely smiled as she felt more comfortable this time. Then she focused back ahead.

"Hey girls wait up!" Ruby yelled already catching up to the others as the raven watched on

Seconds later it flew off into the bright cloudy sky. Though if one were to have taken a closer look at the raven as soared through the air. They could have sworn there was a ghost of a smile that formed from its beak...

---

After three months and a half. Today was the day…

The day Weiss and Ruby had been waiting for and with the approval of both families. Even if the latter family was better with it then the other family. Both young women in separate rooms that lead outside. Finally, today the private wedding of Ruby and Weiss that was being held in the backyard gardens of the school was about to begin.

The two soon to be wedded couple getting their final touch ups and feeling the excitement, along with nervousness that came from the realization that their marriage was to be official on this nice sunny day.

We find ourselves within the bride's room currently who was one Weiss Schnee. With Weiss was Blake, Lucy, Ethan and Winter who were there for moral support. Weiss as calm as she could be considering as she was going over any last minuets things she may have forgotten for the wedding. Since she helped plan it.

"Okay. Okay, the flowers are all good. The ringer bearer knows what she'll be doing and the guest should all be in their seats. I think we have enough food for everyone and... ugh. I just hope everything is ready!" Weiss said as Blake and Winter were fixing up a few things on her wedding gown

Which was a standard one. The usual white coloring, but with hints of ice blue around the hem of the dress. While the open toed high heels she wore were also an ice blue. Weiss also had red lipstick on, had her fingers nails painted red, wore black eyeliner, had her hair let down and had even colored over her scar on her left eye with red paint. Lastly on her veil she had a red rose that slung to the right side of the wedding band that held it up. She looked like a literal snow angel.

But her current nervousness showed through still. Thankful parts of her family where here to help her keep calm. Starting with Ethan who was standing near the door with Lucy as guards of sorts.

"Don't fret Weiss. It's all gonna be fine. Besides if ya don't mind me saying but you look rather lovey in that dress." Ethan reassured as he wore simply a black bowtie around his metallic neck. Along with a pair of white cuffs around his wrist joint. Weiss smiled a bit at the kind words of one of her summons

"Yeah Ethans right Weiss. It will be fine and if anyone tries to crash the wedding. Me and the others can take care of it." Lucy chimed in kindly herself. As she wore a plain yellow dress and black opened toed shoes with a black scarf around her neck; having wanted just simple colors for once. That and she'd never been to a wedding so she was excited. Especially since it was a wedding with people she actually liked

"Well thank you both very much. Your reassurance and kind words are helping." Weiss stated sweetly. Then looked to her older sister and cousin "You two as well Blake, Winter. I'm very happy with all the help you offered to give during this. Especially you Winter, ah no… no offense."

"None taken. I wasn't the best big sister early on but… I want to be now and might as well start with this." Winter replied as she gave her little sister a half smile. Though what she wore a simple military ceremonial uniform for the wedding. In other words, just a much fancier version of her usual attire "I'll admit. I may not be TOO happy that you're doing this so early. But I understand why you must and at least it's with some you truly love. So there's that."

"I'm glad. Really… love you Winter." Weiss replied back touched by the kind words of her older sister "What about the rest of the family. Is father going to be here or…?"

"No. You know him." Winter answered a bit angrily as the others felt similar too. Especially those who had only seen or meet the man recently. But Winter wanted to keep the mood up so she decided to bring up some better news "That said Mother and even Witley decided to stay."

"R-Really?" Weiss asked as that was a bit of a shock. She always assumed they hated her after all these years "Not because father told them to... r-right?"

"No Weiss. They wanted to stay here for your wedding. Like me, honest." Winter reassured. As she could see Weiss was doing what she could to not cry right now and ruin her makeup

"See. What did I tell you Weiss, they do care. Maybe they haven't showed it from what you've told us. But they stayed. Just like Klein, Victor and Winter are. So you have your family here. All of your family." Blake mused as she gave her cousin a smile. Blake sporting a black short sleeved dress with purple accents and had her fingernails painted white for the occasion. She also wore black closed toe heels and her usual amount of makeup she wore every other day

"Hm…." Weiss simply hummed as she smiled back at Blake. Before doing so with her elder sister, Ethan and Lucy. Seeing that she had really gotten quite the family. Looking back in the mirror. She felt even more blessed knowing she was about to gain more family members and she couldn't be any happier about it. Her worry and stress beforehand went away just like that "Yeah. Yeah, I have all my family I'll ever need here today."

Without a word more Weiss let Blake and Winter finish up with the last minute preparations on her dress. While Weiss simply enjoyed the peace and quiet with some of her family.

.

.

Meanwhile in a room a few doors down. Ruby Rose was currently doing what she could to keep as calm as possible herself. But compared to her soon to be wife Weiss, she wasn't as versed in such practices. Which currently was showing.

"Oh my gosh. Holy crackers on an apple tree. I'm getting married today and Weiss is gonna be my wife. I feel like I'm gonna pass out in this dress or break my ankles in theses heels. Why did I wear these shoe abominations again?" Ruby panicked as she was pacing back and forth in the room. While the last minute touch ups to her dress had been finished

Ruby's wedding attire consisted of a long red dress with long sleeves and black accents in the shape of snowflakes around the skirt piece of the dress. She wore a brown belt around the waist and had some makeup on. Mainly just red eyeliner that helped pop out her sliver eyes. Next she wore a single white headband with a red rose on it and finally she wore much to her dread. A pair of close toed black round ended high heels.

With her in the room was Yang, Fiore who had Caules in her arms as she petted the relaxed hound and Mister B. Who himself was acting as the guard for this room and totally owned it considering he was a walking tank. Still all of them were watching with some slight amusement. Finally Yang decided to try and help calm her baby sister.

"Hey, hey Ruby." Yang said as she got up. Though what she wore was an orange sleeveless dress with some hints of yellow on it around the skirt making it look funnily like flames. She also wore a pair of open toed brown leather heels and a yellow scarf. Though she did have her lips in red lip stick today and black eyeliner. Her hair was extra shinny too along with lastly a brown leather headband. Still as Yang got up then grabbed her baby sister by the shoulders, she smiled "Ruby. I can see you're a bit nervous. But just take a few deep breaths okay. It will be fine. I mean sure you're getting married, but it's to your best friend who I'll admit I may have been a bit upset with earlier as you know. But is a person I trust to wed ya. So again Ruby just chill. Okay baby sis?"

"I… I know. I know you're right Yang. I guess I'm just letting my excitement get out of hand. Hehe, sorry." Ruby sheepishly answered back as she did feel a bit embarrassed for freaking out like she did just now

"Nothing to be ashamed of Ruby. You're just happy as can be and who can blame you. So again nothing wrong with that." Fiore answered kindly as she wore a pink dress with a pair of black pumps, a pink head band and wore a bit of black eyeliner

"Ruff, ruff!" Caules barked. Like in some way he understood too, while he wore a cute black bow tie around his neck for today

"Thanks. That does help." Ruby said with a sigh before she smiled some and looked over at Mister B near the door "Thank you too Mister B for keeping guard. Appreciate it!"

"Gggrrrrahhhh…urrahhhh." Mister B who wore a large brown bow tie, bellowed like usual. If he understood or not was still up for debate. But Ruby believed he did

"Good to hear buddy!" Ruby cheered with a thumbs up. Then focused back on the others and noticed Yang tearing up some "Hey big sis what's wrong?"

"Sorry… sorry. Just... just trying to let it sink in that you're getting married today. My baby sister is growing up quicker than I thought." Yang answered sniffling some as she took a shaky breath "I'm happy, but happy sad too. Ya know?"

"Aw Yang. I know but don't ever think I won't need ya in my life. Love you big sis. Forever and ever." Ruby reassured as she gave Yang a loving hug

"Love you too little sis. Always." Yang responded back with a loving hug of her own. After a few more seconds they released one another as Yang sniffled one last time before smiling. Feeling a bit happier now "Hey and you know I think mom would be so proud of you. Like I am."

"Hm… I know she would and I know dad, uncle Qrow, grandpa and you are too." Ruby exclaimed before she focused mainly on Fiore "Thank you as well. You and the rest of the summons for just being here on this exciting day for me and Weiss."

"Ruff!" Caules yet again barked as he wagged his tail before getting off Fiore's lap and walking up to Ruby who petted his head "Ruff, arf!"

"Hm. Caules is right I think. But seriously, we're all glad to be here for you. I know this has gone a bit fast and we've only known one another for about four months now. But I think I can say for me and my fellow summons here. That with Weiss, you and the others. But we're all glad to part of this odd little family. So of course we'd be here." Fiore explained as she was just happy to be included here on this special day

"Yeah… hehe. I guess you're right." Ruby quipped. Before looking at Mister B, Fiore, then Caules and finally Yang one more time. Feeling all her worries suddenly vanished. She felt much more confident all of sudden about the wedding "That's what family is for. Always."

Seconds later though a knock followed by three more echoed from the door. Mister B looked to Ruby who have the metal giant a nod. Before he gently grabbed the doorknob with his large index finger and thumb. Before slowly opening the door revealing it was HK-97. Who was wearing a silver bow tie, while his bandolier had red and white roses tucked into it.

"Joyful Statement: Ah Mistress Ruby there you are. I am glad to see you're spruced up nicely for your special day with Mistress Weiss. Oh and may I say you look rather angelic today." HK-97 exclaimed joyfully as his robotic tone sounded that of a proud older brother. He then spotted Yang and Fiore "Joyful continuation: May I say too that you Mistress Yang and Fiore are lovely yourselves on this most joyous day."

"And you say you aren't a charmer Mister HK." Fiore mused as she gave the droid a teasing wink for the fun of it

"Oh, HK watch out. You might have a girlfriend here soon." Yang teased herself as Fiore blushed a bit at how that backfired on her

"Y-Yang!" Fiore pouted. Though Yang chuckled alongside Ruby and soon even herself before they calmed down enough "Anyways. Teasing aside, thank you HK."

"Joyful Response: And once again you are welcome. Now then Mistress Ruby I am here to inform you that the wedding is to start soon. Everyone else from those helping out and the few guests are simply waiting. But I will ask you in five minutes to come out and wait by the door. Once you hear the music play, I and Ren who will be helping me on my part. Will open the doors for you. That is when you come out. Then once you're up there we'll wait for three minutes more before Mistress Weiss and her chosen father, Klein will escort her down to you. Do you understand Mistress Ruby?" HK-97 explained as Ruby took a moment and calmed herself from her joy peaking a bit before she answered back

"I understand HK thank you." Ruby happily answered back before she decided to focus on Caules and Mister B first "Mister B, go with HK I'll be fine. Same with you Caules. Okay buddies?"

"Arrf!" Caules barked happily as he wagged his tail before making his way to the door and waited for it to be opened

"Urrrahhh…" Mister B bellowed. Then stomped over to Ruby and gently patted the top of her head. Though was gentle enough that it didn't mess up her hair or the head band she wore. Then he made his way out after a few seconds as he opened the door, Caules following behind the meat giant

"Well we should go too. Just follow what HK said and it will be all fine in the end. Big sister promise." Yang exclaimed as she gave Ruby one more hug. Then went over to Fiore and began to push her wheelchair out with her

"Good luck Ruby!" Fiore yelled out as she and Yang exited the room seconds later. Followed by HK-97 who closed the door behind her

Once alone Ruby let out a small sigh along with a smile as she stretched her arms a bit. Before looking at herself in the mirror. Finally accepting that this was really happening and by the end of today. She would be a Schnee. Smiling as she was fine with that honestly. She gave her reflection a thumbs up as a form of self reassurance.

"Hehe. Look out world, Ruby Schnee is coming to town!" Ruby proudly stated

What came next would be rather nice and for once not a stressful series of events today. Thanfully too because for once everyone could just relax, even if only for a day.

.

It was pretty much time for the wedding to commence. Everyone from the team JNPR, team CFVY, the parents, guardians, family friends, new friends and summons. All were outside ready to celebrate this day. Despite maybe a summon or two confused since they didn't even know what a wedding was.

At the moment they all simply were waiting for the wedding to start. Though after what seemed like hours, the five minuet mark passed and Yatsuhashi who had a surprising talent for playing the piano/ pipe organ. Began to do so when Glynda who was one of the two to help set everything up alongside Ozpin. Gave him to signal to do so.

Yatsuhashi cracked his knuckles before playing the rented out pipe organ. As HK-97 and Ren who stood near the doors then opened them for Ruby who came out seconds after. Then the doors closed behind her before after half a minute later. Weiss then thirty seconds later arrived at the door and quickly made a last minute check up on herself. As her heart raced while waiting after. She then saw Klein coming up from her right in a suit of his own as the older man smiled at Weiss.

"Well Weiss you look rather lovely. Oh how proud I am to see you like this and marrying someone I actually approve of." Klein joked a bit as the two chuckle some while they waited. But Klein wanted to get a word or two more in "But in a seriousness though. We're all so happy for you. It's hard to believe that little girl from years ago is this wonderful young woman in front of me now."

"Aw Klein thank you… really for everything. I couldn't ask for a better friend… no." Weiss began to say before she decided to just be honest with how she viewed Klein by this point as she hugged man "I couldn't ask for a better father then you. So thank you father. I love you."

"I…" Klein tried to say. But didn't want to start tearing up at hearing such heartwarming words coming from one of the three kids he honestly saw more as 'HIS' kids then his bosses. But he hugged Weiss back anyways as he felt overjoyed "And I'm glad to have such a wonderful daughter as you. I love you too."

As the father and daughter duo hugged for a few more seconds, they let go of one another after. Then they wait for nearly two more minutes before they heard the music outside play a bit louder. A second later and doors began to open once more. Klein held his hands out to his daughter with his usual fatherly smile. Weiss then took her father's hand as she felt her worries go away quickly as Klein began to walk her down aisle. The fresh air was welcoming to her and Weiss saw everyone here all dressed up, smiling and eyes on her. She felt even more joyful when she looked up seeing those waiting at the end of the aisle.

Be it from her selected bridesmaids being her cousin Blake, her older sister Winter, her horary Bridesmaid/ little brother Whitely who seemed a bit embarrassed still being a bridesmaid since it was joke turn serious role. Lucy who seemed happier than usual and finally of all people her own mother.

Then it came to the bride-Groomsmen who ended up being Jaune, Qrow, Yang oddly but no one questioned it. Strange and her cousin Victor who was giving her a thumbs up as Weiss chuckled some at her silly cousin's antics. Then she saw acting as the one to wed her and Ruby, Xehanort. The old man smiled a bit.

But then finally came the other star of today. Her beloved Ruby who was smiling as giddy as one could be on this special day. Truly Weiss was feeling those butterflies in her stomach go into overdrive at how angelic she found her little Rose.

Though as Klein and her made it up to where Ruby was. Before giving her one more hug and then moving back into the crowd. Weiss situated herself as she gave a quick smile to Ruby who smile back. Then finally Xehanort spoke up.

"Gather friends and family. We come here today to celebrate the union between one of my granddaughters, Ruby Rose and her partner Weiss Schnee. We gather here to witness before life itself. Another union formed from a deep love, respect and care for one another between these two young ladies. Now before we continue. Do either of the wedded have words to say to one another. Words they would not mind sharing in a more public setting." Xehanort stated loudly and with some pride in his tone. Weiss and Ruby nodded a 'No'. Seeing that as the answer, Xehanort nodded back to them "Very well then. Now I shall ask. Ruby Rose, do you take this young woman as your lofty wedded wife. To be by her side through the ups and downs of life?"

"I do. I do a hundred times over." Ruby happily answered as she held Weiss hands and Weiss held hers back. Both girls nearly tearing up now

"And do you Weiss Schnee, take my granddaughter as your-" Xehanort began to say before Weiss in her joy cut him off

"Yes now and forever even after death I do!" Weiss cheered as Ruby was really close to crying from happiness. Weiss though blushed some realizing at how eager she just was "Ahem I apologize Xehanort."

"It is fine my dear and I already told you. Call me grandfather or grandpa. We are family now." Xehanort replied back kindly before he continued on "Now then by the power invested in me. I pronounce you wife and wife. You may kiss your bride the two of you."

It wasn't even a second later before Ruby and Weiss kissed one another. Then came the clapping, from nearly everyone. Heck even some of the few who had no idea what was honestly going on. Being Spear, Fang and Mister B mainly considering. Cheered in their own ways as be it from bellowing in some form of pride, screaming in a more joyous tone or letting out a more triumphant roar. Once again they and everyone else celebrated in some way. A few more even cried in joy. That being the parents which made sense.

But for Ruby and Weiss as they pulled their lips apart from one another. Held onto each other's hands, before seeing everyone who was there. Once more and for the last time. It finally set in that they were blessed with each other and this big family of theirs.

To Ruby and Weiss this was the happiest day of their whole lives so far and the start of many more to come for the newly wedded couple…

Though as the wedding was going on, from on top a hillside. A lone Grimm being mainly the more common Beowulf's and a lone Heartless. Those of the small stubby type that team RWBY had once seen in both real and their dreams called Shades. Watched the wedding occur.

Their master's had ordered them to do so and both creatures had no issues with it. As now it was fact that their species were closely related cousins. Avid obvious differences. But kin at the end of it. So the two watched the human wedding go on.

But as the lone Grimm and heartless watched the wedding, suddenly the Beowulf was hit by a blast of blue energy from behind. Before it froze solid into a block of ice. The heartless was surprised seeing this and flinched back when the sounds of a shotgun echoed as its Grimm cousin shattered into icy red chunks.

But before the heartless could see its attackers. It got a single bullet through the head. As it exploded into black smoke. As silence took over once more, five individuals walked over to cliff edge. As it was group of two women and three men.

The first of the men, the one who shot the ice beam. Was pale blue skinned man with no hair on his face or head. He wore red lens goggles over his eyes and wore over his body a blue and black suit that seemed to sustain the man. He also had a glass dome over his head and held in his hands the weapon that shot the ice beam at the Beowulf.

The second man was dark skinned with a black mustache and brown eyes. Wearing an olive green military styled cap, shirt and pants. He sported black combat boots, black gloves and had tanned armor over his body too. Finally he held a black pump action shotgun in his hands with the barrel smoking still from the shot he just took.

The third man was caucasian with long messy black shoulder length hair, wearing a pair of shades over his eyes, a pair of dark red leather jeans, black dress shoes and a black Kevlar vest over a black tank top. He also held in his right had a rather interesting custom made silver pistol that also had smoke still coming from the barrel. But the most noticeable thing was that his whole left arm was robotic and silver.

Then came the first of the women. She was beautiful and young. Mainly about seventeen from what her appearance gave off. She had peach skin, blue eyes and pretty neck length dark reddish-purple hair. She wore what one could describe as a princess's royal attire with the skirt, cape and all in light plum purple; and dark purple. She seemed to have only a well-crafted stick in her right hand. Then finally she wore a silver and blue gem encrusted tiara on the top of her head.

Finally was the last of the group and the second woman of the group of five. Who seemed about maybe a year or two older then the first woman. She was light brown skin toned with light brown eyes and brunette shoulder length hair. She wore a white blouse with frilled around the arms, golden bracer and around the waist had a brown leather vest over it. Complete with a brown leather corset. Her lower half consisted of dark brown pants. Along with a pair of brown and golden armored thigh-high boots. In her hands she held what looked to be a staff of some kind with a red crystal on the top and a white crystal at the bottom. It currently was in a collapsed mode.

From first to last these five were part of a group. One that as of now cannot be named. But a group of various individuals from all different creeds. Though these five again from first to last were one Victor Fries or Mr. Freeze, one Seargent Avery Johnson, one Johnny Silverhand, one Princess Henrettia and one Amber who was a resident of this current world.

These five were on a mission at the moment scouting out the world before them and to see what the prophesized four heroes of theirs were in the first place. With Amber leading this one considering it was her home world and she was one of its protectors.

"That was easier than I thought." Johnny mused as he eyed the world around him and still found it odd to see so much… green. But he let it be as he eyed the wedding below with the others. Spotting Ruby and Weiss first "So that's two of them right. Ruby and…Weiss, I think. What about the other two?"

"Blake would be the one with cat ears." Henreitta answered as she pointed to the girl with cat ears and black hair. Then she pointed to Yang who was tearing up currently from joy "And that would be Yang. The other two Mister Silverhands."

"Hm. I guess they fit the description. Gotta say they're pretty odd looking. Even by my standards." Johnny mused as he wondered what was so special about these girls other than the obvious from what was explained

"Not too much to me. Then again my world was odd too. Granted with no so called Grimm around or heartless." Mr. Freeze answered as he eyed the wedding and even cracked barely a smile "I know we should let them be. But wouldn't it be smart to tell them about our group?"

"We've been thinking the same thing actually. All of us and the others did give us free reign on this mission aside from the recon." Johnson answered as he loaded a shell into his shotgun before pumping it "I say we tell em in a bit. After we go hunting some more. How bout you Amber?"

"I think that would be for the best. Let them have a good few week to maybe a month before we do so. It would be a kindness to let them enjoy it, especially the newlyweds." Amber answered as she found the scene before her rather nice as she smiled. But then frowned when her worries came back "Still I worry that 'SHE' will notice us one way or another."

"You mean that Salem woman Amber?" Henrietta asked a little nervously from what Amber explained of her

"The Queen of the Grimm…" Mr. Freeze added in. Though he did wonder how scary this Grimm Queen really was. Though he took Amber's word for it mostly "Do you think she knows about those four already?"

"Maybe. When it comes to Salem even if I'm the newer maiden here. I've learned enough about the monster. She's not one to take obstacles lightly, at least ones like the girls will be." Amber explained as she sighed before donning on a much more determined look "But that's why we need to make sure to keep this area is Grimm and heartless free until then. When they finally are able to conjure their Keyblades. Then that's when things will start to begin."

"Well I don't mind waiting and besides I kind of like it here already. Aside from the Grimm and heartless. This place already seems nicer then my shit hole of a world." Johnny mused as he was gonna enjoy the much more natural world before him, danger or not

"Must you…" Henrettia muttered as she wasn't much for cursing. But knew Johnny was a crass man at times, if not nice-ish too. That and he seemed to like teasing her with that little pet peeve of hers. She sighed but smile a little when she saw Johnny give her a side glance and smirk "Anywho, if we must stay here for the time. I don't mind myself. But we should get a house or even make one close enough to here incase things get out of hand sooner then expected."

"Don't worry about that my villa should be enough." Amber answered kindly as she and the others watched the wedding now just going into the usual chatting that occurred after and the small party that would start up as well as part of the celebration. Though Amber did noticed the others were looking at her funny now "What?"

"You have a villa kid?" Johnson asked with a raised brow "No offense too. But kind of makes sense now."

"Huh?" Amber questioned, rather confused on what Johnson meant by that

What Amber didn't know was that the boys at least were eyeing the golden plated armor she wore on herself. As that just screamed to them 'Rich Girl' or something along those lines. Henrietta decided to cut in.

"Alright, alright. Enough of that, right now we should head out to Ambers Villa. Contact the others and come up with next part of the plan. Agreed?" Henrettia stated kindly if not with some sternness as the others took a moment before nodding. Henrettia's smile became much softer as she clapped her hands together satisfied "Great. Now Amber please lead us back to your place!"

Amber didn't say anything. But nodded before making her way off to the east of the forest. The others followed behind. Though as they did, none of them or the girls of team RWBY and their rather large family by now. Had any idea what was to come next or how it would play out.

Spoilers, it doesn't go in their favor mostly…

And END!

Here we are again for another end note. I hope you enjoyed what I put here and I'll explain a few choices I decided to do here for this chapter in particular. So please read on.

Anyways to start with by now you've read the time skip sections. I did this because I wanted to make the events leading up to what leads into the main story of this fic to come in a little later. But I also didn't want to spend too much time with the wait between then and now. So the time skip sections were the best I could do. Could I have done something better maybe. But this is what I picked. Though I also I did this to give some little moments to certain characters and just establish the friendships made. Along with giving some time for the summons to be flushed out more. Along with some relationships being fixed slowly between family members. Mainly the Schnee in that regard.

Speaking of the Schnee's. Yeah, I decided to go with WhiteRose becoming a thing in the story early on. For one just because I wanted too. While secondly, at least trying to give reason. Is mainly because when it came to the situation I placed Weiss in. She kind of had no choice but to do so. That and mixed with her anger at the time when the mock marriage arrangement by her father was announced, and her feeling for Ruby blossoming into love by this time in the stories prologue. You can see why the marriage occurred. As it was a mixture of preventing Weiss from being married off against her will, and to give her the chance to go into a relationship with Ruby. Though both girls would have if they had a choice, probably have had wanted to start off as just girlfriends. But simply to put, this was a 'Spur of a moment situation' Weiss had found herself in. But in the end it worked out for the two. So yeah, ya'll are just gonna have to deal with that and let it be please.

Now onto the little thing between Atlan and Jaune. Hope you all enjoyed that and a bit more of the characterization of the OC that is Pyrrha's father. That and just adding some lore on how Pyrrha's village works. Again, I hope you enjoyed that little section there. I did the best I could to make it interesting.

Next as you could tell and for those who know. I indeed made Eivor from Assassins Creed Valhalla Ruby and Yang's great grandfather. Also no before you ask I'm gonna have AC 2 as the world in this story still. But I wanted to add some more of the AC world into the stories lore. So I went with this. Also as you had read before. But when it come to Ruby and Yang's affinity with having a connection with ravens and crows. Well now you see why. As it an odd sort of inherent ability from Eivor. Who from his world after the end of his game. Wakes up in remnant confused as hell. But did gain what I dub a 'Mock semblance'. Which is just another word for a power that could be mistaken as a semblance but isn't. In this case a connection with ravens and crows. Anyways Ruby and Yang inherited that trait. As be they blood, half blood or not blood related. As long as they're part of the Xiao Long/ Brawen/ Rose family. They are part of Eivors clan.

As for why I picked Eivor. Honestly, I just have always liked Vikings and the era they resided in. Don't know but I just always have. Also I actually like Eivor as a character IMO and before anyone whose reading this and plays Assassins Creed. Feels like giving me any sort of crap or tries to change my mind because of this choice. You know who you are, and you know what I'm talking about exactly.

BUT, I'm simply going to say this... 'Don't waste your breath'. I've played every game in the franchise, newest one included aside from the PSP and DS tie ins. I've read all the books, comics and watched the few movies made. I have been a longtime fan of this series and no one is going to tell me otherwise just because they might disagree with my choice here.

Respectfully to those who 'MIGHT' be thinking of starting something. So, let's just let bygones be bygones in this regard okay. Okay, thanks.

Keep in mind that little statement is meant for those who might feel the need to rant at me in PM or even on the reviews. For those who wouldn't think of doing that in the first place. Thank you and I appreciate you respecting my opinions here. That said if you want to disagree with me about this in a civil manner. Go ahead I will be more then willing to just have a simple nice discussion if that's the case.

Anyways that aside. Last thing to talk about concerns the very last section of this chapter. As you have read a few members of let's say an outside group have shown up. Meaning things are gonna really start going south by the final part of the prologue and once it does. Then were back into the larger story ahead. So be hyped for that.

Now I believe I've said everything I need to say and probably forget something too lol. But either way I just am glad as always that you my fellow reader have taken time out of your day to give my story a chance. I appreciate it more then I can ever truly express and until the next chapter. Like I always say. But I wish each and every one of you the best days ahead.

See ya till then my friends.
