Last chapter we saw six of the group accept themselves for who they are. But it seems ruby and onxyia are starting to question themselves. But we also got adam and lazuli catching up with each belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum. I own the OC's, AU. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 9:Found Each Other

Right now in the woods right now their was peace and quiet right now. But in the garden acre right now lazuli and adam both stared at ruby and onxyia right now. As ruby was taking heavy breaths before rushing over hugging the nearest person being adam as she was starting to cry as he returned it

"You two are alive…your alive"adam said in relief

Lazuli rushed over as she pulled the tall wolf into a loving embrace overjoyed to see her. Though this resulted in her cousin falling again from the wolf head. But he landed onto his cousin head who didn't notice it at first

"Oh my god you two are okay i…wait…where are the others?"lazuli asked as adam released ruby but looked over at his girlfriend with a confused look because something was on her head

"Lazuli thiers something on your head right now""adam said making her screech as she began to swat at her hair several times. As immedialty zane kept dodging it as he lung down into his adoptive cousin hair as he screamed in complete fear

"Dam it cousin stop it!"zane shouted which made her stop mid swat as she was about to squish him like a bug. Adam heard his voice looking around very confused not seeing him

"Where is graves? I heard him but i don't see him…because where are your teammates?"adam asked with worry as lazuli felt around her head before grabbing her cousin into her palm

"Yeah and whats on my…oh…oh my god"lazuli said trying hard not to laugh right now. As she had in her palm the doll size version of her adoptive cousin right now. Who was frowning at her

"You…almost…squished…me…like…a bug!"zane shotued in rage

Adam looked at him with a perturbed look"why is he small?"he questioned.

The from onxyia hood out step the twins as the two were surprised to see them small as well. Along with rubys as yang, blake and weiss emerged. The two stared at the six right now with very confused looks on their faces right now as adam looked utterfuly baffled

"Why are all you the size of dolls?!"adam shouted in confusion right now as blake sighed rubbing her empty sleeve

"Its uh long story…but we;ll keep it short"blake said as they quickly explained to the two what happened. How they tried to play a game against the red prince which confused them but they mentioned how he turn small right now.

"And thats what happened to us any question?"eria asked as the two where sitting down with lazuli still holding her cousin as she winced

"Okay i am not surprised to hear that. Whats next you gonna tell us a talking animal is here"lazuli joked as nyx popped up

"New friends""nyx said making little shot up peeking over ruby head smiling

"Yeah!"little cheered

This made adam one eye widden as lazuli jaw dropped in complete shock. As adam walked over surprise to hear a mouse talk. But eyed blake,yang and weiss surprised to see them this small as yang grinned

"Hey eyes up…well i can't tell if your being a perv. Like that one over their riding around on his girl infront of"yang said as lazuli snickered puffing her cheek up bursting into laughter sighing

"Good one…although here we go"lazuli said placing her cousin onto the wolf chest as he frowned at her. Because she had her scroll out snapping a picture of the tiny members of their team. As she stared at it, it showed rogue waving to the camera, eria waved herself with zane frowning in the picture. Onxyia nerovusly smiled in the picture as lazuli snapped a picture of team RWBY as well

"Man this is priceless. When i show auntie this shes gonna flip her lid"lazuli said pocketing her scroll

"Yeah though um who are you two and how can they talk?"Adam asked

"We don't know but the mouse name is little and the bunny name is nyx"weiss answered as lazuli walked over staring at nyx going awww picking her up cuddling her in her palm

"Awww shes so cute…your a baby bunny aren't you"lazuli cooed finding her aodrbale as nyx looked confused

"Whats a baby?"nyx innocently asked as adam stared at little as he gently scrithc their head with a finger

"Well you seemed to have carried some strange company with you. "Adam commented

"Yeah though….guessing neo isn't with you guys either"rogue replied which made lazuli stop mid cuddle with nyx as the thief eyes widden

"So she isn't with you…dang it what chiwa said was true"lazuli said which caught them offguard they ran into chiwa graves down here

"Wait…wait so what the stupid cat said is true….chiwa is down here?!"yang shouted in shock. But this made the two go wide eyed remembering the warning before adam found the curious cat who was licking himself as he noticed him

"Oh you two are new…who are you? Whats with the eyepatch?"the curious cat asked. But adam growled as he drew his sword slicing at the tree branch he was on cutting it down. The cat yelped jumping to a higher one as the bull faunus growled in his direction right now

"What is your problem my dear boy? Did i anger you?"the curious cat asked as lazuli aimed her crossbow at him holding nyx in her free hand

"Chiwa and that scarlet chick warned us about you. To not trust you…you did something here and you pissed someone off"lazuli threatened confirming their groups theory on the cat

"Ah ha! I knew it! You did something and you are in trouble with the goddess of balance at the tree!"rogue shouted in complete surprise but she theorized it early

The cat scoffed as he rolled his eyes"on this again? I'm just trying to help…sorry that women is mad i broke the rules here. I twisted them a bit to help get alyx back home. "He paused staring at them

"How i'm trying to help all of you. Since well…do you know how to make the growgurt to make you big again"the cat added with a smirk

"Well i…um..uh….maybe little and nyx know how to do it"weiss said as little was sleeping again as nyx titled her head confused

"I heard yogurt…is that a type of carrot?"nyx cutlery asked as lazuli sighed placing the bunny on her shoulder for the moment

"I guess we are stuck with you. Heres a deal cat…you help us grow these guy back to normal size. Then we go out separate ways i don't care if you can help us. Those two…gravekeepers or whatever helped us alot more than you"lazuli said

"Yes…i'm keeping an eye on you. Because one false move and your done"adam warned pointing his sword at him as the cat laughed

"Gosh your like some of those wandering knights. That one in white is always annoying me to death."the curious cat said scamepring ahead as they all slowly followed it right now. As they did some of them talked for a moment as adam kept an eye on the cat

"So you two are down here too…at least we found you guys"rogue said relived

"Same here blondie and awww cousin enjoying a bouncy ride"lazuli teased as her cousin was still on the wolf chest. Onxyia blushed quickly removing him placing him in her hood as she slinked down for a moment

"Oh great we've survived deadly encoutners with everything. Now this…teasing"Weiss coldly said with a pun

"Weiss is doing puns now up top"yang said as weiss returned the highfive. As blake stared at adam for a moment laughing slightly

"Funny how you two got stuck together. Call it fate i think"blake joked as he laughed staring at her for a moment

"Yes but…hold on i think you'd all like this"adam said to their confusion. Qucikly he pulled his pack around unzipping it as he reached insidde pulling something out. They all went wie eyed seeing blake prothseitc arm right now

"You found her arm!"ruby cheered seeing that right now happy to see that. As blake smiled with tears on her face

"Oh thank god…thank you so much…if i wasn't the size of a bug i'd kiss you"blake said as yang and adam stared at her as the cat blushed embarrassed

"Yeahhh you two arent a thing me and him are. Mine"lazuli said grabbing his arm placing it between her bust making him blush again. As nyx hoped onto his shoulder nuzzling on his neck

"You seem nice…are you a pirate?"nyx asked innocently as he sighed rubbing her head gently with a finger

"Not really…but we stumbled upon a racoon. Tried to make us bargain for intel on where you went. But we found our way"adam replied placing the prosthetic arm back inside his pack for safe keeping

"Well we now have eria and blake prosthetics. Although…i really hope the cat isn't leading us into some trap"Zane said as the cat laughed

"Nonsense because were here!"the curious cat announced

They all looked down at something to their complete shock right now. That being a large garden split into five different levels and lower four levels seemed to have several stnads on them. Along with that its surrounded by several large lilypads. It was in the center of a lake that glsitened in the moonlight

On the top of the garden their was a hollow purple lotus flower. Which cast purple light across the lake surrounding it. It had a small lumicsnet filed in it as the blades of grass inside it seemed to glow right now.

They all stared in awe of the sight right now as the curious cat leaped onto a giant lily pad smiling at them

"Better catch up before i leave you"the cat called out

"Oh you little….get him!"lazuli said as they all rushed over jumping onto the lily pad. As they did ruby stumbled almost falling into the water but adam helped her onto the lilypad

"Thanks"ruby thanked

"No problem….we don't know if their are fish in their that will eat you six like common fish bait"adam said with his attempt at a pun which they noticed

"Oh my…..he did a pun…its the end of the world"zane said in a dramatic fashion

"God i think it ending. Hes even smiling you never smile….who are you and did you replace the real tarrus"blake joked mkaing him laugh which lazuli noitced huffing right now as the curious cat laughed at that accusation

"Well maybe your friend ascend just like herb did"the curious cat mentioned which made them all stare at the cat wondering what he meant by that

"Whos herbs?"lazuli asked

"A talking caterpillar he…made us see things their. I don't know how its possible but…he..he sank into a hole. Hes dead"rogue replied as the cat gasped at that

"No no no herbs heart was just to weak. I just had to give him a little bit of mine"the cat replied

"What are you talking about?"weiss questioned

The cat cleared his throat"well herb properly returned, then he'll be fixed up nice and made into the herb he anted to be. When he was still him then he'll come back and find his purpose. Could be the same as before or maybe not"he explained

"But…wait if he comes back will he be the same person?"ruby asked which made onxyia think about what happened early backing up a little which lazuli noticed as she needed to talk to her later

"What would be the point of that? Just like i did with alyx and you lot. I know i know where your rom things….die"he said with a shudder at the thought

"But were not like you we ascend to find a purpose again."the cat said

"But things need to die for the circle of life…we saw corpses…we saw human corpses here. Their were skeletons"onxyia said with worry which made adam and lazuli flinch

"You saw them too"adam replied to their shock

"Oh…how many people from remnant came down here"ruby said with teary eyes which the cat noticed smiling as he face forward seeing that right now. Because he has plans for that one along with the wolf as his backup plan.

Once they made landfall they all stepped off to see where they were. That being a large market like area with several stalls all around the area it seems. Their was several different denizens here all different. With one of them trying to sell mud cookies who seem to be like a bird.

They all stared at the sight finding this all so strange as they looked around weiss winced seeing toy soldier roaming around.

"Ohhh the toy soilders from the red prince….what if he sent guards after us"weiss said scaring the one who ran into him as adam stepped forward

"I'd like to see them try. Besides….their toys they can't do that much damage"adam replied in confidence

"Really? Well the prince is a very sad tale since well his original purpose was so upsetting. Poor little alyx made him a crying mess. Thank goodness he was fixed"the curious replied which made them eye him on what he meant by that

"What…what do you mean by fixed?"onxyia asked scared

"Well the prince was never meant to be nice, he wanted to win no matter what. Though that women decided to give him a new purpose to make him happy. Win a game no matter the cost"the curious cat replied as blake thought about those words

"Wait the red king…he never cheated along with that he was kind to all. The red prince was so much meaner."blake deduced

"Your right…but the story never mention ascension"eria replied confused

"Why of course she wouldn't its something sad…but we need to keep going. Thiers much to do"the curious cat said leading them on as they followed them for now.

"So the ingredients we need are. A bushel of grumpy ivy, one good sized spicy potato and a line off a griffions sweaters. Ehtnel dragon and more should have that. Along with…"he was stopped

"We can't remember all that"lazuli reminded

"Right. But i can produce all of it. But their is one more ingredient we need leprechaun nose hair"the curious cat replied making them all shiver in complete disgust right now hearing that

"Okay we grab that….but what about you?"weiss codlly asked

"Me i shall go rest and wait for you here. Go look for the teapot lady she will have it"the curious cat said but some spoke up

"Hold up were not letting you out of our sights. We need those ingredients.. Your the best chance we got."yang said as her and blake hoped down stepping forward toward the cat

"Yang right….uh adam could you…uh…"She felt embarrassed as he sighed picking the two up finding this strange as he placed them on his shoulder. Once he did yang hummed

"Hey hes got an angel and devil on his shoulder….i'm obviolious the angel"yang joked as adam rolled his one eye

"Your the devil from all your puns and lewd remarks xialong"adam retorted

"Ha! Though we should look for cousin….maybe shes here."zane replied with hope

"Your right chiwa said she was close. Maybe this is where she is…probably trying to find us. I'm fine with doing that"lazuli mentioned

"Then uh the rest of us can help search for her. While you guys all go find the ingredients"onxyia shyly replied as her tail swayed around with an upset look. As weiss stared at her leader for a moment then her remaining teammates

"You two go with tarrus i'm staying with ruby."weiss said as yang and blake nodded to her appreciating it. They all began to split up into their own groups in search for the ingredients they need to get big again.

As ruby and weiss explore the stall grounds with little. They tried to find any sign of this tea pot lady right now but they couldn't see anyone like that. They even tried asking the residents here but some were confusing or asked for something in return which made them irritated how confusing they are

"Come on tea pot lady…ughhh where are you"ruby said getting upset which weiss noticed

"Ruby….are you okay? I mean…ummm…"Weiss stammered for a moment making her partner eye her for a moment as ruby placed her hand on her arm rubbing it for a moment. Then she sighed

"I'm fine weiss um…thanks for caring but…right now we need to focus. Because we gotta try and save more people….hopefully"ruby said upset which weiss noticed wondering if all the loses they've had has started to affect her. When they get big again she and the others need to talk about this when they can. Because when they get back she hopes summer is okay

As they kept walking for a bit the sound of metal banging could be heard which caught ruby and weiss offguard. Suddenly all the denizens around them are gone as darkness encroaches them on all sides. This startled weiss who gasped as suddenly a bright light appeared before them. Then looking forward ruby adjusted her eyes seeing something

That being a row of weapons right now with it being similiar to a blacksmiths shop. Their were familiar ones to their was miyuki sword, coco handbag, tanners machete and microphone, ozpins cane, lionheart shield, and a few other peoples weapons that fell. Ruby stepped foward seeing harbinger their picking it up confused

"Does that one have a familiar to it?"a female voice asked as she looked over seeing a feminine looking figure obscured by bright flames banging onto a anvil

"I…i…but i found it…who…who are you? Why do you have these?"Ruby asked

"Yeah i…ruby i…who are you?"weiss asked stunned

"I am someone who fixes things down in this land. But it seems you aren't alone quite surprising. Where are your other friends"the women asked banging away on what appears to be metal butterfly wings it seems

"Are you lost?"the women added

"No….no they went to gather ingredients and find our friend."ruby shyly replied as little peeked up which the women noticed as she chuckled at them

"Well who are you little one? Are you her guide down here….did the goddess send you"the women asked stunning the twon as little proudly stood up

"Yes! I am ruby and her friends…friend. I want to help them get home even though i don't know where it is. That cat is creepy"little replied

"Hmm you are right to not trust him. But you carry a large burden my dear"the women said directly to ruby who looked down at the ground rubbing her wrist right now clenching it tihgt

"I'm fine i can handle it. I've done it before and i can keep on doing it"ruby coldly said making weiss stare at her in shock right now. The heiress didn't know how cold she gotten right now after everything that happenes it worried her. As the little heiress tap her slightly on the cheek making her stare at her

"Ruby…don't…don't talk like that"weiss said with teary eyes as her tail sag as ruby eyes widden looking away with a guilty look. The women seemed to smile as she stepped forward to the three which ruby noticed

"Sometimes you can set a burden down and change who you are. It is your choice maybe even a new weapon to carry on your journey. Sometimes a hero will need something to help them to solve new obstacles"the women said making ruby look down

"I already have one…i just need to find it…and bring my…dad back to my mom"ruby said bringing out harbringer staring at it. As a flashed appeared showing qrow reflection in it. As she stared at it soon enough someone shook her awake

"Ruby! Weiss! Who are you talking too?"adam said startling her right now as ruby gasped with weiss panting holding her little chest. As the two of them looked around for the strange women

"I..i…what?! Where did she go?"weiss asked confused

"Weiss who are you talking about we got all the other ingredients."blake asked as adam held the basket for their ingredients right now. As ruby stared at the ground unsure of what she saw before weiss spoke up

"We don;t know probably a hallucination….nothing but a hllacuniantion"weiss said to her partner surprise as she saw the heiress nod to her which she appreciated it. As they kept walking they looked for anysign of this teapot lady till yang spotted her. That being a large purple teapot that had a set of purple eyes peering out from blackness

"And theirs a teapot thats alive…this place is weird"yang commented

"Your telling me. We ran into a talking racoon and well a talking mouse and bunny"adam replied as little peeked up

"But aren't we friend?"little cutlery asked as weiss placed a hand on their shoulder

"We are. Thank you for sticking by us unlike someone"weiss siad to the curious cat who scoffed in her direction

"Are you gonna act like those wandering knights. Because they are quite rude in my opinon i'll gold our end of the deal. Then we go our separate ways"The curious cat said as they apporahced the tea pot lady stand as she noticed them

"Welcome to things n things! How can i help you?"she aksed

"Where looking for nose hairs well leprechaun nose hairs"the curious cat replied tosses some things to the side to her complete annoyance as adam cleared his throat

"Do you have any by chance ma'am? Our friends have been shrunken to the size of dolls"adam kindly asked as the women examined them for a moment humming before gasping

"Oh no no no that can't do….hmmm let me see i…ah here we are"The teapot lady said gesturing to a small container that had some hair in it to their relief

"And this is a key ingredient in growgurt fruit?"blake asked to make sure

"Oh it is well i would need hmm…something in return…ohhh whats that"the teapot lady said looking toward ruby pocket right now. The silver eyed teen looked surprised as she slowly reached inside pulling out qrows necklace

"My…dad necklace?"ruby asked in a shaky voice the women was about to talk but suddenly fireworks started to go off along with that several ever afterin screaming. They all looked over seeing the jabberwalk was back to their utter shock

"That thing again!"yang shouted

"You ran into that thing?"adam replied as the teapot lady began to suck everything up right now

"I need to run!"the teapot lady said as ruby stared at her before taking off her broach and placed the necklace wrapping it around it

"Wait! Please we need them…this…this carries a mother and father promise. Please!"ruby said stunning her teammates seeing that as the teapot lady gasp sucking them away into her doamin

"Take it and run!"the teapot lady said as ruby quickly grabbed it as they all got on the ground to prepare the pafreit

"How do we make it?"adam asked quickly as the cat dumped all the ignreidnets into a cup before it started to take shape as in a span of a few seconds the parfait appeared in an instant

"Their! Now hurry and don't take too much because if you do then we'll need to make you something to shrink again"the cat said before staring at the jabberwalk

"That thing is the only thing able to kill afterans here. The jabberwalk…its like those strange grimm we ran into"the cat said as ruby placed her teammates down as adam got in a defensive stance to defend them as they tried to regrow to their normal size now

In the market team ZERO was walking around to see if they could at least spot the mute of their group. They were doing their best as lazuli kept speeding around trying to ask anyone for help. But onxyia seemed down about what happened at the hut still.

Zane noticed this and looked at the twins who shared the worry.

"Hey onxyia are you alright?"rogue asked but the wolf faunus ignored her.

Eria sighed"come on don't call yourself a freak…your you you had no choice on deciding who you become"eria said as onxyia shook a little from that.

The three looked at each other wondering what extactly she saw still. Zane decided to try and cheer her up was tired from using his semblance early so he had to climb. He began to wrapp his hand around her hair as he started to climb to the top of her head. While he did rogue and eria walking over to her shoulder. Eria on the right while rogue was on the left.

"Come on onxyia talk to us"rogue begged

"Yeah, were your friends you can tell us anything"Eria added

"Yeah don't let the meanie cat get to you"nyx innocently said

Though she just looked down as she just had her hands in her sleeves. After a bit of time zane got to the top of her head panting it was like he climbed a mountain or something.

"Phew that was tough…now wolfie you doing alright"he spoke near the ears on top of her head. They twitched a little but soon just flattened out on top of her head.

He looked down as he just sat down cross legged on her head wondering what he could do to cheer her just rubbed the top of her head doing his best to comfort her.

"Come on wolfie….don't call yourself that. Like I said before your traits make you unique along with those eyes of yours. You may think your some freak but to me…your a gem"he complimented her as her tail slightly wagged

He looked down to see rogue giving him a thumbs up and he returned it.

As lazuli came back sighing in annoyance"none of them know where my sister is. All they keep asking for in return is…"she paused holding her necklace close to her heart

"We understand it seems that love and kindness are a great resource down here"Eria replied

"Yeah…but where could neo be. I mean she must be here"rogue replied as close by someone laughed at them as they sighed

"Well aren't you all a sight for sore eyes. Surprised to see you all down here right now"a female voice spoke up as they looked over flicnhing as standing their before them was matilda graves as they looked wide eyed

"Maltilda! I..i….how?!"eria shouted in shock as the women apporahced before seeing their tiny appearance chuckling at that

"Oh no the red prince did this too you…such a shame i miss the old him. Scarlet though payed him a visit recently. Sweet girl"matilda said to their surprise as nyx sniffed looking at her

"Your one the strange wandering knight"nyx cutely pointed out as the women chuckled petting the rabbit head as the rabbit enjoyed the scrithces

"Indeed i am…surprised that our replacement is done here. Despite not being dead like the rest of us"maltidla said which confused them what she meant by that right now

"But…you look like you have flesh and blood i…wait…am i going to end up here when i die"zane asked surrpsied as she was about to speak until something happened. Several afterans were starting to run for their lives from something as they exchanged severals looks

"Thats not good…we gotta findt eh others"lazuli said

"Right uh mind helping us lady or you gonna just disappear"eria asked as matilda hummed for a moment

"I was incharge of this acre today. I might as well see what the fuss is about"mailtda said running forward with them right now

They all started to run to the commotion as they cound what was going on. As they did severa deniznens turned the corner to see some bird aftertan fighting the jabberwalk. As ruby and her team who were notbig again right now fighting something. That being some grimm to their shock as weiss stabbed a beowulf in the head killing it

As blake had something on her right arm her prosthetic arm. As her and yang double teammed a centennial as blake wrapped her ribbon around it yanking tight on it. As coming in for the finishing blow was yang who slammed both her fist ontop of it killing it as it screeched out in pain turning into dust

But as they did they noticed one new face their with them. That being a man who seemed to be a rustic looking set of armor right now. As by his side was a giant white jackalope that he was riding around like his trusty steed. In his hands was a rusty looking sword as he cut down a few husk killing them in an instant

"Oh come on grimm down here again!"rogue shouted

Matilda laughed"it appears the bugger i killed long ago are here. Along with a rusty ally…get to the parfait i shall help them"She said sprinting forward as she did yang glanced over confused as matilda leaped onto a beowulf back that howled trying to claw her off. But the women wrapped her arms around its neck as a squad colored organic material covered her arm as a tentacle emerged. Wrapping it around it neck she snapped it killing it as she hoped down with yang looking at her surprise

"Help me kill these creature kid….then run from the jabberwalk"maltilda said as she nodded

Immediately onxyia got over placing her teammates on the ground where the parfait was. They all scrambled toward it to get big again.

"Finally we get big again"Rogue said as she scooped up some parfait and ate it and grew back to her regular size. She looked at her hands and bodie smiling happy to be back to normal.

Eria did as well and soon enough she started to grow back to her regular size. She closed her eyes sighing in relief.

Zane then grabbed some as he scooped it into his mouth and soon he started to get big again. Once he did he clenched his hands looking up and glancing at eria.

"Oh no we got a problem"he said as eria looked at him because she knew what he was going to say.

"What is something wrong?"adam asked worried as he got near them

Zane then pointed to eria"she still small"zane quipped as rogue snorted a little as she brought out inferno. Lazuli brought out stinger on her side but the blade was chipped. While eria glared at zane before smacking him across the face.

"I am not that short!"She screamed as she then turned her attention toward the task at hand.

"We gotta help them kill that thing"rogue stated as she rushed in with inferno. While adam rushed in with her brandihsing wilt in his hands.

The jabberwalk was being held down by a black glyph cursity of wiess. As she did the jabberwalk tried to use its tail but it was stopped at blake used her ribbion to trap it. It thrashed aorund for a bit until yang then socks it into the air

"I said…we weren't done with you yet!"she shouted with her hair on fire.

As they did soon enough from the side rogue was knocked to the ground. Adam went wide eyed looking around for who was their but then a familiar women appeared with a shotgun blast going off. Adam blocked the shotgun pellets as his sword glwoed red hot.

Betty emerged from the shadows giggling"their you are….now all of you die!"she screamed.

But from the side a revovler shot could be heard. It hit betty in the side as she looked over seeing zane smiling. He just spent the last two bullets in this clip. He quickly unloaded his revolver casing as they clinked to the ground. He grabbed a speed loader with one carrying his normal dust bullet and the remaining four elemental. He loaded the right revolver with the elemental and the left with the normal. He quickly hosltered them as he grabbed both his falcata swords.

"Nah we aint doing that"zane stated as him and eria rushed over toward the women. But betty just smiled at them underneath her mask. Because as team rwby was dealing with the jabberwalk. Lazuli watched with onxyia as it was pulled down.

As it was it dispepared into a bright pink light with a glass shattering sound being heard.

Lazuli went wide eyed"neo?!"lazuli shouted with shock.

Weiss was confused"why is she attacking us?"she questioned.

"This doens't make sense…..she on our side"blake added

"Yeah but…wait a minute….lamia"yang said as everyone close by went wide eyed. Zane and eria stopped in their tracks while betty was laughing to herself like a madwomen holding her head with one head.

"Yes….good old lamia put that little brat to work. Though we had to rough her up"betty said as lazuli glared at her. She aimed wisp as she only had a about eight shots left in it. She took aim firing them at betty. But infront of her appeared what surprised all them. Another jabberwalk as it growed at them.

"Another one?! Their are suppose to only be one!"the knight said as zane looked over at him narrowing his gaze. He looked at the sword because it looked familiar to him.

Soon enough several more jabberwalks were emergin from the water as they growled swarming the place.

"Serach…hunt..destory!"one said

The knight looked toward the group shouting to them"hey come on this way!"he shotued gesturing them to follow him. The group looked at each other before they decided to follow the mysterious knight away from the jabberwalked. While they did the knight seemed to glare at the curious cat.

As matilda stepped forward cracking her neck"hey kid get your buddies out of here. I can handle these things their just like grimm"She said as he nodded to her

"Thank god your down here. Lets go she can handle herself"The rusted knight said as they hesitantly did. Looking back ruby looked to see matilda fighting off the jabberwalk with ease as she spin kicked one back. Then grabbed another one slamming it on the ground shatteirng it into glass. But as they turned a corner screaming could be heard which concerned them as they were about to head back but the knight spoke

"She'll be fine! We need to go now!"he said as they all did. They quickly hoped down boarding a lily pad to escape. As they did ruby saw the teapot lady crying right now with all her goods scattered around. As weiss noticed it before walking over to her as she stared at her

"What do you want?"The teapot lady asked as weiss stared at her for a moment

"I want the necklace and brooch my friend sold you. I'll give you these in return"weiss said producing the earring her mother gave her as the teapot lady gasped sensing great love in them

"Deal…take em…i need to cry"the teapot lady sadly said as weiss quickly took the brooch and necklace back for her friend. They quickly escaped now to a small little field to catch all their breaths right now.

Though blake was ecstatic right now because the rustic knight from the fairy tale is right infront of them .Yang noticed her girlfriend acting all excited about this and looked at the knight who was tending to his steed it seems.

"I can't believe it the rustic knight!"blake exclaimed.

"Wait the guy from that fairy tale…you know that makes more sense now"lazuli replied

The knight rubbed the jackalope head"you did good Juniper"he said which made zane go wide eyed by the name. That sword looked familair because it reminded him of his friend jaune. Along with that juniper was his team name. No it couldn't be he had to have made it out.

Soon enough the knight removed his helmet to reveal a familair but older looking face. Their stood a man with long hair in a warriors wolf tail it seems with a piece of red torn fabraic tying it together. Along with wearing armor that covered his entire bodie that looked very rustic.

"Team RWBY and ZERO it good to see you again"the knight replied in gruff voice as the group stared in all visible backed up at seeing him as soon enough the rustic knight smiled as tears escaped his eyes.

With that the group got big again and it seems they ran into a familiar face down here in the ever after. Although you noticed some small changes like weiss accompanying her leader/partner. I wanted to make this interesting but I can explain more when I get to a certain point. Thanks for reading!
