Chapter 1: Greetings
The horde of grimm kept descending upon them no matter how many they beat more would take their place. What had began as an excursion to release all the stress that had built up over the course of the last few days, turned into a battle for their lives.
Yang roared as she pummeled an Ursa into a puddle of evaporting bone and black goo. She had defeated more grimm than those present, and she had the most severe 'injuries' in the form of scratches that could be easily fixed by Jaune's semblance.
A sphinxs landed behind her, letting out a cry as it prepared to attack her.
Qrow and the rest of team RWBY were much calmer than Yang. That just meant they were processing all the things they learnt in their own unique ways.
Ruby buried herself in training exercises, fighting more and more Grimm in attempt to better her controll over the silver eyes. The words of Maria had lingered in her mind for while now, but they weren't the only motivation for this new obsession.
Weiss Schnee came because she felt she was needed. Her friends weren't in the right mental state to be around Grimm and she felt it was her her responsibility. Her duty. A new sense of purpose of which she may devote herself to for the forseeable future.
Blake followed because she was scared. You wouldn't think that if you saw the risky manouevres she performed against the Grimm; but in the end she was still afraid because even the Avatar of what people feared could be beaten, what she was scared of could not touched or defeated by sword or gun.
Yang was angry. She was mad at the grim. She was riled up by what Raven had done. She was infuriated at Adam for basically everything, he was the worst. She was enraged by so many things she couldn't go back to the cheerful girl from Beacon.
Qrow? Even he didn't know why he was there. If you asked him, he'd lie and say "Just looking out for the girls, thats all." He was aimless, looking for meaning and reason to carry on. Till then he'll continue doing awesome things, like perching on the Sphinx's head and unleashing badassery. He plunged harbinger into it's forehead before ripping it out while backflipping for maximum style points.
With that final feat of impressive self aggrandizing, the Sphinx collapsed into dust. And it would have been great if it ended there
Despite all of them being a storm of emotions they all agreed on one thing.
"This is all Ozpin's fault." shouted Yang in rage as she punched a Beowolf.
" Yeah yeah,we know it's all you've been talking about. " said an irritated Qrow as he cleaved through three grimm
" Of course I'm going to talk about it. Everything single bad thing that has happened to us has been his fault! The school being attacked and me losing my arm it's all connected to him somehow!"
" Yang! Focus on the grimm and calm down. All your negativity is making it easy for them to find us."
"Everyone please stop fighting!" yelled Ruby.
"Ruby is right we have to stay focused. " added Weiss.
"Oh please they're just a bunch of Beowolfs what's the worst that could happen."
Suddenly a bright flash of light appeared. Engulfing the hunters and when it cleared they had all disappeared.
A chorus of groans and moans was heard. A mysterious figure in a black cloak sat behind a desk with a red and blue figures each side of him.
"Greetings and welcome to the Crimson Theater. This place exists between the fabric of reality.I am the master of this room I am victor and these are my attendants; Vermillion and Cobalt."
"Greetings." Cobalt said.
" Why hello there." greeted Vermillion.
"Where are we?" asked Ruby as she groggily got up.
"Like I said you are all in the Crimson theater." More and more figures staggered back to their feet.
Team RWBY, Oscar, Qrow, Ironwood and some of the staff from Beacon were all gathered together in one place.
"You all must be curious as to why you are here." "The answer is that you have been selected amongst many to view the multiverse for the entertainment of a certain group. "
"Multiverse?" the voice of Dr. Oobleck was heard.
"That's right old man the multiverse. The infinite sea of possibilities that simple organisms such as yourself can't even begin to comprehend." replied Vermillion
"Old man?" Oobleck muttered under his breath.
"Do you really expect any of us to actually believe what you said?" asked a skeptical Ironwood.
"No." came the response from Cobalt.
The red one chimed in. "I'd be concerned if you did believe us. We're a bunch of strangers with outlandish claims."
"I don't expect you to believe us and quite frankly I don't care if you do. All that matters is you react."
" If what you say is true why would anyone be interested in seeing us watch." asked a confused Glynda.
"Its because the beings observing this derive a sort of pleasure from seeing the reactions of others to a particular subject." Explained Cobalt.
" In fewer words, it means your their entertainment " added Vermillion.
" and what kind of host would we be if we don't deliver on their expectations. "
"This all seems farfetched to me. Besides what's there to stop us from leaving I mean there is a pair of doors over." said Weiss
She made her way up the stairs and reached out to the door. What she saw made her gasp in shock.
"What is it miss Schnee?" asked Professor Port.
" Theres ... nothing."
"Spooked by nothing?"
"I meant there is literally nothing out there."
lo and behold there was nothing but a vast void. The theater seemed to be the only thing in it. Drifting aimlessly in the seemingly unending abyss.
"Where are we?"
"Like I said Mr Branwen, this place exist between realities. Think of this place as the nexus of all realities. It allows for the realities to interact with one another without actually changing anything in them."
"Just a heads up, if you look out into the void carefully you can see into the universes."said Vermillion." Of course if you gaze out to it for too long you might go insane."
" Fair warning though; due to your counterparts having experienced different scenarios they may end up being vastly different from the rest of you." said Cobalt.
" Some y'all are good guys, some of em you're evil and some may have you related to a person who you have never even met ."
" That's ludicrous. None of this is happening and were lying in the snow." said a skeptical Weiss.
"Having a shared hallucination?"
Cobalt let out an irritated sigh while Vermillion wore a shit eating grin, almost as if wanted one of them to say that.
" Oh this my favourite part" began Vermillion " my lord permission to show that universe. "
" Vermillion you do this with every guest, why? asked a still Irritated Cobalt
" I love seeing their surprised and confused reactions, that someone they know would do that."
" Very well Vermillion you may do as you desire.
"This is perfect but we're gonna need the star of this one and his friends to show up."
With just a snap of his fingers team JNPR appeared in front of them
"Great everyone is here let's get started. "
Here it is my attempt at fanfiction. I'm starting with something like this to try and get usef to writing dialogue. I'd like positive enforcement and criticism from you thank you.
