6. Chapter 6

Hello!

And another chapter is done with. To be exact this is the last chapter of the prologue and to everyone so far. Thank you dearly for giving this story reboot a chance. I appreciate it more than I can express.

Anyways this won't be a long top notes. But I will say that by the next chapter. Be it part of chapter six or even it's own mini chapter. I don't know yet. But I'll be introducing this story arc's OP and ED. Why some of you may be asking. Mainly just for fun honestly.

Update: Did a bit more fixes with the grammar and thank you smash197 for pointing out that error when it came to Velvet. Forgot to change the first area she was in, to someone else so again thank you.

P.S I removed the other two chapters for a quick few fixes I decided to do and because this chapter somehow, I forgot to put up and I feel really embarrassed by that. That was a first for me.

So that all said, please enjoy this chapter ahead!

And will shine brightly to a new day…

Peaceful…

That's what it had been for team RWBY as they and everyone else had gotten use to staying at Beacon after what was now four months total since they start of all this madness.

Be it from team JNPR and everyone else helping plan Pyrrha, and Jaune's wedding now. Which would happen sooner or later. Or be it team CFVY getting to know everyone else one way or another too, with just normal day to day activities. Or even just everyone else having to get use to each other.

Heck the only one that wasn't here during the wedding or even returned, even if it was just a while after was Jacques Schnee. Since he was too busy 'Making more lien as we speak.' The only reason the rest of the Schnee family and Klein were allowed to stay before, and after the wedding was to keep an eye on Weiss.

Then when it came to the other families, like Ruby and Yang's who stayed because well they wanted too; same with Blakes folks. Each family getting to know each another and getting to know the girls equally as well. Thankfully during all this comradery, everyone had also been pitching in with the defenses for the school at least. They would have offer it to Vale too, but no one wanted to cause a possible panic.

Still aside from that and the girls of team RWBY getting to know everyone much better also. That along with Weiss and Ruby settling in their marriage happily as can be. But the summons now were back in their gems. Having apparently after a week more of being outside after Weiss and Ruby wedding. Seem to hit their limit and started to get sleepy. So, the girls kindly gave them some much needed rest. That and thanked them for being around for so long as they would see them once they were ready to be summoned again.

So, after all that this week nothing had occurred. Aside from more training along with getting to know Donald and Goofy even more than they already had these past months. Both men turning out to be quite the interesting duo. As from Donald's quick temper if not amusing moments of seeing him beat up Grimm that came across him in such an angry state. Or enjoying Goofy's well goofiness and kind nature; that and the girls knowing him alongside Donald had their back when they went out to make sure any Grimm weren't getting too close to the school as of late. Again, the girls had come to see the two as brothers. One's they were all more than happy to have fight by their sides when their so called 'Keys' finally came to them.

Though speaking of Donald and Goofy, currently the two were sitting inside the common room of their ship called the Veil Seeker. A ship the two were still pretty new to themselves as they had barely learned how to fly it since the original ship they were to have had been decommissioned. At least what their two engineers Horace and Clarabell had told them, since it seemed the engines had blown up during one night in the docking bay. Still having their new ship parked inside the Bullhead Hanger of the School. Donald and Goofy were chatting it up. While the girls also got use to the ship, since sooner or later it would be their home away from home.

"So anyways. That's how Mickey and Donald made my dream come true to visit Potato land!" Goofy happily finished explaining from a past story of when he, Donald and Mickey were just normal folks. Before all this royal business started up, which was a story in itself "Well until the sun started to melt the theme park."

"Yeah… county jail wasn't fun for the next week after that." Donald added in as he shivered remembering the coldness of the Ohio state county jail after the handmade Potato land melted. Nearly drowning ten farms in the process, plus giving a few school kids stuck in a bus at the time a crippling fear of potatoes "So cold… it smelled of old crusty… potatoes and regret."

"That does sound bad." Weiss mused as she was amused by the story. If not now questioning how in the world Goofy and their king back then had made a whole theme park from potatoes in one night. That and how in the world they got some the plumbing, and electrical systems working. BUT for her sanity she let it. Though Weiss swore she could just feel her blood pressure rising from the story alone "Ugh... I never will understand why people like potatoes or food made from the fat greasy things."

"Hey don't knock till you try it Weiss. I will have you know potato chips are amazing!" Yang happily cheered as she was actually munching down on a bag of potato chips. Taking another bite, she smirked as she showed her greasy finger tips "Besides their finger licking good. Yummy!"

"And fat filled. I mean that bag alone must have added a pound or two to you." Weiss argued back as Yang stuck her tongue out for a moment before eyeing Ruby

"Baby sis. Your wife is being a buzzkill again!" Yang mused as she snickered. Blake chuckled a bit too at the amusing moment

"Oh Yang. She's just being caring is all. Still…" Ruby said as she leaned against Weiss a bit and put on her puppy dog stare "If I asked you to try potato chips one day, would you. For me Wifey Weissy?"

"Well…hm…" Weiss tried to argue. But knew she was gonna give in as Ruby just pulled the pleading cute wife card. She sighed as she smiled back before giving Ruby a peck on the lips as the younger girl giggled at the affectionate gesture "Okay. Okay, but only for you Ruby."

"Thanks sweetie!" Ruby cheered as Weiss swore Ruby was too cute for her own good at times

"Gawrsh you two seem to be getting along well. I'm happy to see you're both enjoying the marriage so far." Goofy kindly said

"Thanks Goofy." Ruby thanked. But then she decided to ask a few things now about Goofy and Donald that she or the others didn't feel they should ask until they knew them better, which now they did so might as well "Hey Donald. Goofy. Mind if I ask but maybe you can tell us more about your own families. I mean if you want. We've all just been curious about them you know?"

"No problem. We understand Ruby. Hm, I don't think I'd mind. Goofy?" Donald asked as he looked to Goofy who just smiled. Seeing that as his answer, Donlad faced the girls again "Well Goofy is okay with it too. So, I'm game. Anyways for me I take care of my three nephews Huey, Dewy and Louie. Here's a picture of them!"

Donald took out a wallet as he said that, before opening it showing a connected row of various photos of him and his nephews. Three younger duckling boys, each a bit different from one another in the colors red, blue and green along with the clothing they wore. Names and ages above one of the pictures showing which was which. As Huey the oldest was the one in red, Dewey the middle child was the one in blue and Louie was the youngest one in green.

To be honest the girls found the picture cute as it showed that Donald was a rather caring uncle. They would have asked about the kid's parents, but they could sadly get a bit of an idea that maybe neither were in the picture. For why a number of reasons. But none of them wanted to ruin the mood if it was one of the more… sad reasons.

"Aw you really must love your nephews. You look like such a caring uncle." Ruby mused as she saw one picture that showed Donald and who she guessed was Dewey in a sports uniform "Like that one. You seem so proud of Dewey trying out for sports."

` "I was. But he wasn't trying out for sports. He was the water boy!" Donald said in pride as the girls almost all cringed a bit at hearing that. Even Goofy from the side, but none wanted to be rude at the obvious pride Donald had

"Ah… that's… nice." Ruby said as nicely as she could with a sheepish smile

"Indeed, such a caring uncle and a… rather protective one." Weiss mused as she even had to admit Donald might be a tad bit overprotective. But again she like the rest didn't want to be rude about it

"More like OVER protective if ya ask me…" Yang muttered as she may have not want to say it out loud. But couldn't help but mutter it. Though she got a slight ear pull from Blake "Ow, ow…"

"Shh, be nice. Even if I do agree dear." Blake muttered back as she let go of Yang's ear seconds later. Before giving Yang a wink as Yang even in slight pain still smiled back. Blake the decided to keep the conversation going again as she looked to Goofy "Anyways what about you Goofy?"

"Oh I just have my son Max. He's a good boy, had a wife but she passed sadly. But she would have loved meeting you four, same with my Maxi." Goofy happily answered. Pulling out his wallet now and then a few picture of his son along with a woman who seemed to be a dog like species too. She was rather angelic when it came to her looks also. Goofy smiled as he pointed to the picture the girls were looking at "This was Max's fifth birthday. Good times. His mother made the cake and I set up the decorations. Still, that was a nice year then."

"Seems like it." Blake mused kindly as she and the girls could see that Goofy was a good father. That and he seemed to love his son dearly with how he spoke of him from the photo alone "But um… sorry about your wife. She sounded like a very nice woman."

"She was an angel that she was. Like I said, she would have loved you four from the very start. Maxi would probably like ya lot anyways. He's getting to that age where he likes super heroes a lot." Goofy exclaimed, chuckling a bit his with his usual chuckle

"Well thanks for the kind words Goofy. I mean yeah were like huntresses in training. But Super heroes… eh maybe that's a bit much." Yang remarked as she chuckled some herself "Besides me and the girls here are just your average everyday girls. Mostly."

"Ah fowey Yang. You're hero's already if ya ask me. Besides I think what you're training to be is already heroic enough. So don't sell ya selves short gals." Donald reassured while Goofy nodded in agreement. The girls smiled simply back at the kind words, before Donald remembered one more thing he and Goofy forgot to do. He looked at Goofy for a moment "Goofy mind getting you know what?"

"Um…. What?" Goofy asked back. Donald sighed while the girls were now watching a bit confused if not curious what was going on

"You know in the room. My room, THOSE." Donald explained somewhat more clearly he hoped

"OH those… what are THOSE again?" Goofy asked once more, as he was stumped on what Donald even meant

"THE SUITCASE GOOFY. SUITCASE!" Donald yelled. Then hit Goofy on the top of his head as Goofy got up rubbing his head and making his way to Donalds room "And hurry ya big palooka!"

Donald then turned back to the girls who all raised a brow at the rather… oddness between Donald and Goofy right now. Donald nervously chuckling as he'd gotten to know those brow raises over these past few nearly half a year so far. Those were brow raises of obvious curiosity and wanting to know what was that even about. It was Weiss who quickly took the reins in the asking part.

"Donald… what was that?" Weiss asked curiously, if not somewhat sternly

"What was what Weiss?" Donlad asked back. Playing stupid, even if it was rather obvious to the girls

"Donald you know we aren't falling for that 'What do you mean?' shtick right?" Yang replied back, amused a little that Donald was even trying to pull a fast one on them "Still nice try."

"Well thanks Yang… oh ah I mean ah… um…" Donald started to say once more. Before covering his beak as the girls though rolling their eyes a bit at two of the boys oddness at times, also were amused by it as it was harmless enough at least

"Funny Donald. But seriously what did you send Goofy to get?" Blake asked now herself

"And don't forget Donald. Friends don't lie to each other, so no more lying mister!" Ruby added in amusingly, as the girls and Donald even got a chuckle from that

"Heh. I know Ruby. I know. But-" Donald began to say, to tell them the truth but was cut off seconds later by Goofy who had grey briefcase in his hands now

"It's a surprise girls. So um… SURPRISE!" Goofy answered as he sat back down and gave the girls a big smile alongside Donald

Once more the girls chuckled at this. As even if their boys had been doing something behind their backs. It was all in good intent as they could see.

"Aw boys. You didn't have to get us anything. Just having you as family is already good enough!" Ruby cheered. Before eyeing the suitcase with curious glee "BUT… that said. I don't think I at least wouldn't say no to presents. Hehe."

"Wow not even ten seconds. You were not kidding when you said Ruby loves presents." Blake whispered to Yang

"Ho boy. You should see her on her birthdays. She loves getting gifts, it really adorable." Yang replied back. Though she had to admit she was curious on what presents she and the girls were gonna get "Well like baby sis said. Show us the goods dudes!"

"Agreed. I'll admit I'm curious myself what you have for us." Weiss added in, as Blake just nodded in silent agreement with everyone

"Alright then. Goofy." Donald said as Goofy nodded back before opening the suitcase

As it opened the girls waited in anticipation, wondering if it was like lien or something. Maybe mods for their weapons or something fantastical. That said, they were surprised yet confused when Goofy turned around the suitcase to show four metal balls. Each one red on top and white on the bottom. With a button in the center. Even odder was that each one had their symbols on the buttons. But these objects also felt familiar for some reason, no idea why but it just did to them. Still the girls were surprised yet confused as the focused back on Donald and Goofy.

"Okay gonna be honest here. These are cool, whatever they are but…" Blake began to say, trying not to sound rude; but then Ruby cut in

"What are these?" Ruby asked as she grabbed the metal ball with her symbol on it and inspected it a bit "Is it like a weapon or what?"

"More than that. The king had one himself at one point in time. They're called Pokeballs." Donald answered back as he was happy the girls were at least curious about it

"Pokeballs… odd name but whatever. So, what do they do?" Weiss asked as she, Blake and Yang grabbed the Pokeballs with their symbols now. Weiss eyeing the object herself "Heavier than I expected. Though it's well-crafted too from the looks of it. But again what are these for exactly?"

"Well ladies press the center button and you'll see." Goofy happily explained as the girls looked to one another before doing so

As the girls pressed the button. They flinched a bit when the Pokeballs opened and suddenly a bright white energy shot out from inside and hit the ground before them. As the light died down, the girls were even more shocked when they saw in front of them four odd creatures.

The first creature that was staring right at Blake was some sort of young feline who had half light blue in the front and half black in the back. It had yellow eyes, large oval ears with yellow star-shaped markings on the insides and a red nose. It also had tuffs of fur on its head along with a black collar markings around its neck and yellow fur around the wrists that looked like wrist bands. Finally it had spiked fur that surrounds the base of its long tail. The tip of the tail being star shaped as well.

The second creature that had seconds after being released, waddled right next to Yang and looked up at her cutely. Was a bluish furred creature, with a cream colored fur on its underside. Its eyes were oddly closed and it had a thin if not somewhat long snout. Finally on its back are four red circles.

The third creature that was wagging its tail as it eyed Ruby was a small hound with brown fur. With a cream-color around its neck fur and tip of its fluffy tail. It had brown eyes, long pointed ears and a cute little black nose.

Finally and fourth of these creatures. That had perched itself on Weiss shoulder in a millisecond after being released, was a dark blue and black feather bird with a cream color on its belly. It also had a few tufts that protruded over its head. Which in turn gave it a mask-like appearance around the face. While it's red eyes popped out rather easily.

As the four creatures stared at in their eyes, new masters and friends. The girls stared back at their apparently new pets. Ruby was ahem… rather the most obvious with her reaction. As seconds later, she donned on a huge smile and then moved over to her new pet; and picked it up.

"SO CUTE!" Ruby said in glee as she was already snuggling with her new pet as the little hound happily complied with the snuggles "Oh Zewi and Caules will love you!"

"I have to admit. These creatures are quite interesting. Like you little one, aren't you a pretty bird." Weiss kindly quipped as she was gently scratching under her own new pets chin and stopped just at the tip of its beak. The bird cooed a bit as it seemed to like that

"Aw looks like you're getting along well Weiss. Was kind of worried you'd scare the bird off, you know cause of your ever so ice queen-ness." Yang teased as Weiss rolled her eyes stuck her tounge out for a second. Yang laughed for a moment, before looked back down at her own new pet as it happily stared back up at her. Yang cooed a bit as she picked up the creature "Aw, aren't you a cutie!"

"They are cute. Hm?" Blake began to say. Before she felt her new pet nuzzling against her leg. Blake smiled as she began to pet the feline. But she looked back at the boys "What are they anyways guys?"

"Pokemon." Donald answered as the girls realized that must be why those balls were called 'Pokeballs' Donald though shrugged a bit "That's all me or Goofy could tell ya. The king had a Pokemon of his own for a bit before he released it. Still sorry."

"Oh it's fine. I'm sure-" Blake started to reply back, before suddenly Dex that was in Donald's coat pocket began to beep "Huh. What's up with Dex?"

"No idea Blake, Donald let's see." Goofy said as Donald nodded in agreement before he pulled out Dex who's light were beeping

"Hey Dex what's going on with ya?" Donald asked as he and the others waited for Dex to say something. After a few seconds Donald already was losing his patience "DEX!"

"Chill Donald. Give Dex a second alright?" Yang slightly scolded. As she and the girls had to at times calm down the easily angered duck man if needed. Especially when he almost attacked an anti-fauna's protester in town one day when they started to berate him, Goofy and the girls

Thankfully a few seconds later Dex started to beep again. Then the lights on him flashed red and then green. Before going off, the others started to get a bit worried Dex somehow was breaking or failing. But again, thankfully those worries were dashed as Dex light went back to normal. Before he finally spoke.

"Apologizes users. My original functions were turning back on in the presence of your Pokemon." Dex explained, much to the surprise of the others

"Oh right. The queen did call Dex a Pokedex before." Donald muttered a bit embarrassed that slipped his mind

"Wait does that mean you can tell us more on our Pokemon?" Weiss asked as that would be helpful

"If you can. Can you tell me more on my new little buddy Dex?" Ruby asked as she held up her little hound who just seemed to happily let its master hold them

"Of course I can Ruby. That there is an Eevee. A small, rare and sought out normal type Pokemon. Her species are known for their large number of evolutions considering despite their rarity. Depends on their environment." Dex explained. Though this just brought up more questions even if some answers were given

"Types?" Weiss, Goofy and Blake asked in their own confusion there

"Evolution?" Ruby, Yang and Donald asked as that one really confused them

"Oh dear, I forgot this isn't the world I'm from. Let me explain in a more clear manner then. Each Pokemon has either one or two types. Some are weaker to others and vice, versa. Evolutions meanwhile is what most if nearly every Pokemon is capable of. Some are the exceptions. That said, think of evolutions as videogame upgrade. Each Pokemon that evolves becomes a much stronger version of the pervious form, appearances changing as well with each evolutions. Like for Ruby's Eevee, she only has one stage from the normal three stages of evolution. But to make up for it, her Eevee instead has eight of different types when certain conditions are meet." Dex explained as Ruby had stars in her eyes when Dex displayed the eight possible evolutions for her Eevee. Then his screen changed to Yang's Pokemon "Speaking of, like Yangs fire type Cyndaquil. He comes with two other stages apart from his current 'Baby' stage. The first being what you could call the 'Teenaged' stage being called Quilava and then to his 'Adult' stage being Typhlosionn."

Two more images of Yangs now know Cyndaquil showed the teenaged stage of him being a bit bigger with his eyes open, his snout shortened and fire coming from his head and backside. While the adult stage showed an at least Beowulf sized Pokemon with a much more fierce appearance, sharp fangs and fire coming from around his neck like mane of sorts.

"Whoa, that is so cool. Oh my gosh your gonna grow into such strong boy, aren't you my little buddy!" Yang said in glee at the fact her Pokemon was a fire type and also that he was gonna be a slugger when he reached his final evolution form

"Quil!" Cyndaquil happily cheered as Yang chuckled at how cute the Pokemon was and pulled him in for a hug. Once that was done and she held Cyndaquil in a more normal hold. She then eyed Blake and Weiss Pokemon "Hey Dex what about Weiss and Blakes here. What can you tell us on their Pokemon."

"Yes, we'd like to know what to expect Dex." Weiss said as Blake simply nodded in agreement with cousin

"Very well then. Since you asked Weiss, lets started off with yours. Your Pokemon is a Rookiedee a flying type obviously. He will though eventually turn into a Corvisquire and then finally a Corviknight who is a steel/flying type." Dex explained as he showed images of the Corvisquire and then Corviknight who looked rather intimating, if not knightly. Then Dex focused on Blakes Pokemon finally as he showed images of her Pokemon evolution and Blake was already knowing she was gonna have to make sure to train hers before it got to the adult stage "As for you Blake. Your Shinx is an electric type in her current form, her Luxio form and finally her Luxray. I should warn you. Shinx's can sometimes be a bit mischievous. At least in my document accounts with my previous owner the King. That said, make sure to train her just in case if she's one of the more mischievous ones."

"Shinx!" Shinx cutely roared as Blake felt her heart melt a bit, but she picked her Pokemon up as she smiled and bopped the felines cute little nose

"Noted. For now I'll do what I can to make a plan to train her on my free time." Blake mused as she was already attached to her Pokemon like the girls were

"Excellent. Now before you go out to start learning more about your Pokemon. There are two more things you need to do. First is to name your Pokemon if you want, a good number of trainers in the world my first user obtained me in don't and simply called their Pokemon by their species name or a shortened nickname. But again if you want to give them a new name completely. That's an option too." Dex explained as the girls looked to one another and seemed to have come to the same conclusion. They gave each other a nod, before looking back at the repurposed Pokedex

"I think we'd all like to give them personal names." Weiss answered for her and the girls, as the others happily nodded in agreement

"Very well. I'll record their names for a profile in case we ever end up visiting my world of origins. It would be a good idea to have these documents for local authorities." Dex said as the girls looked to one another again to see who would go first. Weiss decided she might as well

"If we must. Then I'd like to name this little guy Edo." Weiss answered happily as she scratched her Pokemons cheek this time "You like that name. Right boy?"

"Rooookkk…." Edo chirped as he was already loving the affectionate scratches from his new master

"Edo. Where did you get that name from sweetie?" Ruby asked, curious on where her wife came up with a name like that as this was a first for her to ever hear such a name

"I just remember looking up on an old ancestor of mine. Apparently the patriarch of our family. I can't remember where I first heard of him, but I think it was from a story. I… think." Weiss answered, as she actually couldn't for the life of her remember if that was the case or not

"A story….." Blake muttered as she at least swore she heard a rather similar story about an ancestor of her own and suddenly something clicked if barely "Cousin, did….did your ancestor have a sister possibly?"

"I…hm. I think so but why?" Weiss asked as Blake raised a brow and then Weiss quickly realized what Blake was hinting at "OH. That could be it. That could be were our blood relation started from!"

"Makes sense. They must have been either both faunas, both human or maybe one human; and one fanams somehow. When we can, we should ask our folks more on what they know and defiantly see if we can go to a library or two. They must have something on them if they're from a tale!" Blake excitedly suggested as this was getting more and more interesting today

"We totally should. Oh great job the cousin, we have plans for the later week now!" Weiss cheered as she and Blake gave each other a high five. Ruby and Yang found this moment cute between the two cousins

"That we do Weiss, haha!" Blake cheered back. Before she calmed down and looked back at Dex "Anyways, considering what me and Weiss just discussed. I believe I heard a similar tale. I'm sure of it. One about my own ancestor and her being the matriarch of our family. So I'll be naming the little lady here, Eri."

"Shinx!" Eri meowed in her own ways, showing Blake that she loved the name

"Hehe. Glad you like the name Eri. Now Yang, Ruby what… girls?" Blake kindly said at first to her Pokemon, before she faced the sisters and noticed their gazes of contemplating like they were deep in thought "Girls?"

"Let me handle this Blake." Weiss chimed in as she cleared her throat "Ruby they're running out of cookies at the cookie store and Yang; your hair looks a bit more frizzled today. Is that grey hair I see too?"

"WHAT?" Yang screamed first in sudden shock as she used her free hand to check on her hair. While her Cyndaquil wondered what his master was going on about

"NO THE COOKIES!" Ruby yelled next as she shivered in sudden fear of that possibility, as her Eevee titled her head at her masters odd behavior

"Wow." Goofy simple said. In some awe at how easy it was to get the sisters attention

"It's that easy?" Donald asked a bit deadpanned

"That easy." Weiss mused. But found the sisters reaction always amusing when she did this "Girls I was kidding."

"Weissy that was mean!" Ruby pouted as she should have known. Her wife knew her weaknesses that was for sure "You better be nicer or I'll be a grumpy wife!"

"Okay. I get you, what can I ever do to make up to you?" Weiss mused as she smirked

"A dozen cookies next time were out missy!" Ruby demanded in a rather cute manner that almost made everyone coo at how adorable Ruby was being right now. Didn't help when her Eevee joined in

"Eevee!" Eevee barked in a high pitch but cute tone as her face seemed to match Ruby's face with poutiness. Everyone almost passed out from the sudden spike in cuteness before they got a hold of themselves

"Hm… then I shall my little Rose. But only because you're too cute for your own good." Weiss remarked as she got her composure back, before moving closer and giving her wife a kiss on the lips as Ruby giggled some "Better?"

"Hehe. It's a start." Ruby said, blushing a bit as she was glad this marriage between her and Weiss was going very well. But knowing she still had to name her Pokemon, she focused back on Dex "Anyways. All that aside me and Yang were just remember something too. A story me and Yang were told I think."

"Yep about our ancestors oddly enough. Two friends turned lovers I think… maybe. It's a little fuzzy at times. Weiss and Blake here talking about their own ancestors kind of reminded me and Ruby of the story we heard about our ancestors is all." Yang explained herself as she was finding it odd that Weiss and Blakes stories of their own ancestors were similar to theirs. Since she believed from memory her own ancestors were the Patriarch and Matriarch of their family

"Is that so. Then maybe we can all go to the library one day and see what we find. Maybe even ask your grandfather. I'm sure he has some information." Blake once more suggested

"Sounds like date kitten!" Yang cheered with a cheeky smile

"Anyways, sorry about that Dex. We were getting of topic again weren't we?" Ruby apologized

"No worries. My pervious user talk to me about the importance of companionship and team work. You and the girls were simply displaying that in spades. Now then, Ruby, Yang if you have names for your Pokemon. Please tell." Dex responded back kindly, as his previous user defiantly gave him a sense of intelligence back then and an understanding of emotions; along with the values of socializing

"Well since you asked. I decided to name by little buddy here Anders. That was the supposed name of our families Patriarch… I think." Yang said as she either was remembering that from the supposed story or somehow she already knew… odd

"And I'm naming this little gal after our families Matriarch. As her name I think as I remember was Amora." Ruby said as she hugged her Eevee some more "I think it's a good name don't think Amora?"

"Eevee, Eevee!" Amora barked cutely as she snuggled back with Ruby

"Hehe. Good girl!" Ruby cheered as she was already gonna love it when Zewi, Amora and Caules meet. It will be an overload of doggy cuteness there that's for sure

"Aside from the names now. Donald, Goofy thank you both for the presents here." Bake said first as she gave the boys a smile

"Yes thank you so much. None of us expected this but we aren't complaining either. It was very thoughtful." Weiss added in with her own smile

"For real dudes. This is like super awesome!" Yang remarked cheerfully as she eyed Ruby "And my baby sis couldn't be any more than happy too."

"Hehe stop that tickles. Hahah!" Ruby chuckled as Amora was licking her face a bit

"Eevee!" Amora bakred back as she licked Ruby's face once more. Already getting along with her master well enough

"See what I mean." Yang mused. While she made sure she was holding Anders in a comfy enough position as the little Pokemon was already dozing off

"Aw shucks girls, the queen said that we need to give ya these anyways. But where happy to see you like em already." Goofy replied back first. Glad to see the girls and their Pokemon hit it off already with their friendships

"Yep. Still, Dex what else did you have to show em?" Donald asked bringing the conversation to the second important thing Dex had to show the girls now

"Simple. Ladies I shall now show you what your Pokemon are and will be capable of. Huddle around all of you. This is gonna blow your minds!" Dex cheerfully stated as the other did so, since Dex had quickly proven to be a good source of info

So as they listened, already in awe as Dex began to explain what the girls Pokemon could do currently and would one day be able to do when they evolve. They would end up spending half the day learning on the subject, before going back to Beacon to introduce everyone to their Pokemon.

All in all, today had been another normal if not exciting day for team RWBY. What was to come soon though; well…

---

Elsewhere in a place that was and yet wasn't, a place hidden from all who tried to find it except for its residents. One from worlds taken over by the heartless. Worlds that are safe for the time and even worlds that were taken by something… else long ago.

The residence were like this place, from different avenues of life. Each a part of some part of the morality scale. Be them pure of heart, vile of the soul or maybe even somewhere in the middle. These people had come together despite their differences. To help the future Keyblade wielders in their soon to be fight against the heartless. Oh and one more thing.

.

.

Some of them even have come back to life after being dead for so long. Who they maybe, let's leave that for later….

Still currently this group was finishing up a call from their five agents who had been sent to the word of Remnant in that time zone nearly a month ago. While in their current residents, it had been only three hours. Currently being used to make the call was a holo video. With the leader of this mission, Amber the one speaking through it.

"And that's about it, nothing more then-" Amber began to say as in the background some ruckus was going on. Especially a loud [BANG] of a shotgun next to her

"Ha, suck it fur bag!" Seargent Johnson from off the screen to the left screamed with some laughter. While from the far left of Amber it sounded like Johnny Silverhand also laughing alongside the Seargent

"Yes. As you can see. I and the others are handling the situations well enough. But the sudden spike and growing numbers of Grimm and Heartless are a clear-" Amber began to say again. Only for the sounds of water being splashed by a spell, followed by a sudden chill and the sounds of ice forming around bodies echoed loudly

"Nice one Freeze!" Johnny yelled as his pistol and Johnsons shotgun went off again in a gleeful volley of death

"As I WAS saying… this sudden spike is alarming. If our guess is correct we'll need to get int contact the girls finally and very soon. If only to give them some extra protection when the Heartless arrive." Amber said as she eyed her left side a bit like she was expecting some sudden interruption. When none came, she smiled and continued "With all that said-"

.

[BOOM!]

.

The sudden explosion and sounds of body parts falling back to the ground, that along with the sight push back interrupted Amber. Amber being pushed onto her right side for a moment. As everyone else cheered in some way, especially Henrettia.

"Okay I have to admit. BUT THAT WAS SO COOL. AGAIN HAHAHA!" Henrettia for a moment out of her usual demeanor screamed in pure joy. As she suddenly realized she might have a liking to exploding stuff

"HELL YEAH!" Johnny and Johnson both cheered alongside Henrettia. While the sounds of Freeze sighing could be heard

Amber seconds later sat back up, not amused as she pouted a bit that her professional first report back to her group had been ruined by the constant sounds of battle. That and killing of mainly Grimm alongside some Heartless didn't help. So swore the gods must hate her for some reason, still she sighed as she eyed the holo call once more.

"UGH… Amber out." Amber grumbled as she shut off the holo call leaving the rest of her group still in the place that was and wasn't to discuss; and contemplate on what to do next

To be exact, though there were more members of the group. Currently only six were present. Three men and three women. Each one a bit different on their groups dubbed 'Morality Alignments'. But all having somewhat gotten to know each other the past month they believed. Again time passed a bit different in this current plain of existence and non-existence. It was one of the three men, who decided to speak

"So, how should be go on about this?" The man with his arms crossed asked, sounding like he was at least in his younger years. Not teen years, but maybe nineteen or twenty three at least

This man was average in height, muscular too as his uniform showed that off a bit. Speaking of, his uniform was one that a superhero would wear. His outfit a mixture of red, blue and black for the web outlines of a spider like styling. He wore a mask too currently, that was red and had the similar spider like web design on it. While his eyes had two white lens. Finally was the black spider symbol on his chest.

"Easy Peter, we go in there and kick some ass!" One of the three women remarked with a smirk. Seeming youngest of them as she was at least either seventeen or nineteen by looks alone

This young woman was Japanese. With fair skin, light red eyes and shoulder length light brown hair. She wore a white button up short sleeved shirt, black leather gloves, a blue tie, a black skirt, black knee high socks and brown shoes. She also wore a brown worn slouch hat, with three 'X's' stitched into them. Finally she had in a pistol holster a singular Berretta M9.

"Oh on a first name basis now with Peter. Something going on we should know about little Chinatsu?" Another of the females teased out of the blue, as Chinatsu at least made a pouty face being referred to as 'little' by this woman

Said woman though seeming rather young herself was older in many ways. She had with red eyes, with light toned skin and had long flowing light brown hair that reached her waist. She wore a pink shirt with purple trim, a red sash, black pants with purple trim as well, a blue anklet around her right ankle and dark brown leather traveling shoes. She also wore over that a dark brown hooded cape along with a drawstring pouch around her neck. The most notable feature though was her pair of wolf ears and tail she sported.

"I'm not 'little'…" Chinatsu muttered as she pouted some more. While the older woman who'd teased her chuckled

"Of course not, not at all." The woman mused once more. As she smirked at the pretty much child before her considering again how much older she really was

"As amusing as this is Holo. We still have need to plan on what our next course of action is." Another of the men in a wheelchair exclaimed, before he coughed a bit

"Here have some water." The third of the women stated. Who stood behind the wheelchair man as she moved around and offered him a glass of water

Speaking of these two. The older man in the wheel chair was peach skinned, with dark brown eyes and had shoulder-length grey hair. He wore a black hat, along with a brown leather jacket and trousers. He also donned on a tattered mantle and an old red scarf. His wheel chair was rather nice looking compared to his ragged appearance. Along with the cane he kept in his hands. Lasty he was missing his right leg and in place of it was a wooden one.

Meanwhile the woman was fair skinned, with golden eyes and long bright green hair. She wore what looked like a white straightjacket with the belts and clips undone. That and she wore long white heeled boots. She also had a pistol holsters on her right side. She smiled at the old man who gratefully took the cup of water. Before sipping it all down.

"Ah, that's better. Thank you CC." The older man mused as the empty glass of water vanished "Even in the dream that wasn't something that could be done. I'm still getting used to it."

"You and the rest of us still Gherman. You and the rest of us." CC remarked before she eyed the last of the men in the room with a coy smirk "What of you, what does the great poet Publius Vergilius Maro or Virgil have to say?"

This man was tall and had a sort divine feeling to him. He had greyish toned skin, had eyes a deep dark brown and his head bald but with a crown of leaf like thorns that stuck out of his skull. He wore a plain worn white undershirt of sorts with a metal chest piece in bronze. He also wore a white worn skirt piece that covered his legs and feet. Second to last was the dark crimson cape he wore and the wooden staff he held in his hands.

"That depends. Do you mean of the situation on that other world or the seeds of possible romance blossoming with our young Chinatsu?" Publius Vergilius Maro or Virgil for short, asked as he made a small slight coy smile of his own

"Fuck you both!" Chinatsu yelled irritably and which only got a chuckle from CC, Virgil somewhat and even Holo. While Gehrman kept quiet

"Quite the mouth she has." Virgil mused before he looked at the one called Spiderman or Peter who seemed to be in thought "Peter?"

"Huh. Sorry I was just thinking of-" Peter began to say before Holo cut him off

"Going down there and helping out?" Holo mused. Somewhat in a teasing manner but more in a kind if not scolding manner too as Holo had oddly taken a sort of motherly role with the two younger of their group

Be it to keep Chinatsu from getting too angry and trying to kill everyone for whatever petty reason. Which oddly was rather easy as the girl seemed to have an odd respect for her. OR, to make sure the good hearted if not a bit too fool hardy young Peter Parker from doing anything too dangerous at once. Not that it was a bad thing, but she could tell Peter at least was the extreme self-sacrificing type. An easy way to get one killed if you asked her.

"Well ah…." Peter began to say. But awkwardly rubbed the back of his head as Holo really did remind him of his Aunt May… lord did he miss her. Did he missed his best friend Ned, his… MJ. Still he didn't want to think on that, so he just decided to answer honestly back "Ah…yeah, yeah I was."

"Admirable Peter. But you still haven't recovered from the first battle we and the others were forced to do. Remember when you took that nasty hit for Chinatsu and CC here?" Holo scolded softly as she raised a brow at the good hearted if not foolhardy young man

"Just to say. T-Thanks for that…" Chinatsu said a bit shyly as she wasn't to do that much anymore if at all. CC herself simply gave Peter a nod and she'll admit she was surprised when Peter did that for them

"Welcome. Still… I understand Holo. Sorry, I just don't like feeling useless when I know I can be of at least some help." Peter explained as everyone, even those of lower morality understood where he was coming from. Thankfully Gehrman seemed to decide to help the boy's spirits up a bit more

"Don't fret lad. It's can be understood why you feel as you do, but better to be at full health then to risk even worse injury or death. Still soon I say you will be able to help once more." Gehrman reassured as Peter smiled from under his mask a bit

"Thanks." Peter simply said. Before he sighed once more "Anyways back to the main point. I guess for now we'll stay here and be on a more prepared mindset just in case they call for back up. Does that sound good enough for everyone here?"

The rest took a moment, looking at one another. Before nodding a silent yes that the plan was fine enough. Peter was relieved that was the case. They'd had a few previous debates with everyone in those ones. Which ended up with a lot of arguing. Though mainly it was out of good intentions, great concern or to simply rethink a strategy. It was tiring to say the least. Still, Virgil decided to say something now.

"Since we've come to agreement. I will tell the others and I'm sure they'll all mostly agree with it. For those who don't well you already know." Virgil exclaimed as he knew a one or maybe three who may have issues with said plan; maybe

"Right, right. Send them to me than if they want a full explanation." Peter stated as he sighed once more. Knowing who may be against said plan even if he was a little himself ironically

"He means us Virgil. Right Peter?" CC sternly stated herself now. As she had in a way during this month donned on a more 'Big Sister' role oddly when it came to the younger few of their group

"Yeah. I meant that. Do that Virgil." Peter reiterated as he ignored the slight snicker from Chinatsu and the small smirk from the usually stoic Virgil

"That I shall do, I bid thy all farewell for now." Virgil exclaimed making his way out of the room and after a few seconds he was gone

"Man. I get he's like some old Roman dude, but I really wish he'd speak a bit more normally and maybe crack a full smile too. Ain't that hard." Chinatsu said as she cracked her neck for a moment

"Well that's just how he is. Aside from that, I think we should all make our way out now too. I need to get Gehrman here to the lunch room. One because I'm hungry and two because I know he's hungry." CC mused as Gehrman let out a quick loud chuckle there

"Be in the company of a young lass as you, be still my old bones I'm for it." Gehrman remarked and smirked a bit. CC smirked back as she knew even if the man was a bit more into younger women, she could tell he was that type of older man. She still knew it was all in good fun

"Behave you two. We have kids in here remember?" Holo joked along as Peter and Chinatsu resisted the urge to grumble. Even if they could tell it was all in good fun right now, they didn't care to keep being reminded they were technically two of the four youngest aside from Henrettia and Amber

"Ah my bad lady Holo. Hm, come CC I think our resident cook was making something called Spaghetti. I don't know what it is, but it sounds good." Gehrman stated as jokes aside he really was getting hungry

"It is, second to Pizza honestly. Anyways we'll be off, have a good one." CC quipped as she began to move herself and push Gehrman's wheelchair out. Seconds later the same door Virgil left through opened and closed

"Ah what a day. What a day, still kids. Would you like to accompany me to the training field. I feel like breaking some things and I have no idea why." Holo asked as she knew exactly why. Since she could be as much of a glutton for food or drink in this place, it seemed too also put a limit on those urges to eat; and drink for the heck of it

"Sure. But you gotta seriously transform into that wolf form of yours. It was SO cool!" Chinatsu pleaded as she really had found Holo's giant wolf from super cool "Please Holo, PLEASE!"

"Only if you behave for the rest of the week. Got it?" Holo responded back as Chinatsu without even thinking nodded in agreement before she eyed Peter "And if you come with us. I want you to sit I out mainly because of your still healing ribs and because I ah… well I really want to try out those web shooters of yours!"

"Totes too. Peter teach us!" Chinatsu shouted in glee as she and Holo smiled widely

"Ah… sure. No problem." Peter replied back as he had a feeling saying no to them would just have the two pester him until he did so

"Thank you Peter!" Holo and Chinatsu cheered. Before both ran out to get ready in the training fields and soon to use Peters web shooters

"I have no idea what's going on anyone… ugh. Sides still are a bit sore, better take it easy when I teach the girls." Peter muttered as his body had mostly recovered after taking a near fatal hit for Chinatsu and CC when they all had meet for the first time. Apparently his sides were taking their sweet time

Still as Peter made his way out. He did wonder when the invasion of the world where their chosen to be Keyblade wielders would happen. He also hoped the boy he'd been visiting in his dreams. Whitely would fare okay. Sure the kid had improved a lot since their meetings, especially with his attitude. But he was mostly still pretty green when it came to combat.

Then again he remembered Holo had mentioned she'd been having similar dream visits to ironically, Whitely's mother. Willow. She didn't go further into it, but it seemed at first at least. Holo hadn't been too fond of the woman. Now she seemed happier when she mentioned Willow.

Aside from those thoughts he made his way out and for now would enjoy the peace. For when the heartless came. Well, then the friendly now interdimensional friend Spiderman would come in to help if he could. Sore sides or not, he was a hero after all.

The night…

A time to rest and refresh one's body, and soul. It is a time every living being goes through. So here we are, in the room of team RWBY as they slumbered the night away.

Oh yes this whole by tomorrow, half a year for them had come by quickly. Beacon closed still and in a pending state of being opened once more. A decision that many parents were against sadly. Speaking of, the families of those still here. They all had made this school home for the most part. Mainly staying for a change of pace or because in the Schnee's case when it came Jacquess. The man of that family barely seemed to noticed the rest of his family missing still. Something none of them seemed to mind really.

Either way team RWBY and their friends, along with their family which were all pretty much the same thing by this point. We're enjoying life as much as they could. While knowing the Heartless invasion would happen sooner or later. Hopefully later.

But for now the girls at least would wait and enjoy this time of bliss. Enjoy spending more time with their summons who should be ready in a few days to be summoned again. To enjoy playing with and training their Pokemon. Who when introduced to everyone else, had a lot of the girls gushing over them. The boys just thought they were really cool. To everyone again just enjoying this weird family they had all formed.

Anyways, that aside for the moment. Back inside this room we find Ruby and Weiss sharing a bed. The two snuggled with one another in pure bliss. As they'd become accustomed to the fact they were married by this point and had no issue sharing a bed.

Yang and Blake pretty much felt the same too, as even if not married. The had been in a relationship long enough now that they were fine sharing a bed too. So they did and unlike their bunks before. Now the upper sets of both bunk beds had been transformed into two wide beds for the two couples to use each.

So once more here team RWBY was enjoying another night of slumber. HK-97 in shut-down mode currently to recharge as the girls didn't mind him being in the room with them. As he was one a droid and two, was just a truly loyal bodyguard. Next to HK-97 the girls Pokeballs laid as their Pokemon slumbered within said objects.

All in all it was a nice and quiet night for team RWBY. One they had become accustomed to. Only tonight would be… different. Very different as during everyone's slumber. The windows to their room began to slowly frost over, the air becoming colder and thin as the girls breaths could start being seen with each breath. Even the night sky and fractured moon vanished and replaced was the light from a nonexistent sun. But even with all that, the girls slumbered.

This would not do, not at all. As moments later an old if not very familiar voice from months ago. Decided to awaken the girls.

.

.

.

"WAKE UP!"

.

.

.

Indeed to the girls of team RWBY. Right when they heard the loud screams of the voice from that dream almost half a year ago. They jolted awake, a bit shocked and scared from the suddenness; and the volume of the voice itself. As they looked to one another having. A sudden uneasy feeling started to creep.

"D-Did we all just… hear the voice?" Yang asked as she was doing to calm herself down and Blake as she saw her girlfriends ears flatten a bit

"I… we did. We just really did and ehhh. Why… why is it so cold all of sudden?" Weiss said as she rubbed her arms. But felt much warmer when she saw her wife wrap her arms around her "T-Thanks dear."

"Anytime sweetie." Ruby answered back as she noticed the cold smoke coming from her breath alone "Wow i-it's really cold."

"If the windows are any indication. I-I don't think this is natural." Blake chimed in as she and the others got out of their beds. Then moved closer to one of the frost covered windows as it was being slowly covered by a sheet of ice which made the glass cracked a little "Yeah… n-not normal one bit."

"Oh my." Weiss muttered before she realized something odd about the outside finally "Also, isn't it still night time. So why is it day time instead now?"

"Ah crap. Not good, not good at all." Yang began to say before she felt her worries were becoming even more true "Girls you don't think…"

"It is indeed what you think maiden of Yellow." The voice interjected as the girls suddenly flinched back from the sudden intrusion

"Geez. Can you give us a warning next time?" Yang scolded as she was taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down again from that little scare

"Apologies maidens. But right now pleasantries aren't what I'm here for."The voice stated as the girls now really had bad feeling and good idea on what was exactly going on

"It's happening. Isn't it?" Ruby asked the voice and felt her heart begin to race a bit that it was happening NOW of all times "The Heartless invasion?"

"That is what is happening. One thing you should take from this though. They might seem like simple animals. But they're much smarter than they seem. Even the lowest of them." The voice explained, calmly if not with some sternness as the girls would remember to take that sound advice seriously. The voice then continued on "You must get ready and make your way to the main hall of the school. Where the entrance is. The adults are already making their way there and your fellow teens, along with Donald and Goofy are making their way to pick you up as it is. So get ready and they should be here soon."

"Thank you so much. Really thanks!" Ruby thanked first as she had to admit. The voice might be a bit creepy to her. But at least it was being helpful to them

"Same. Thank you for warning us." Blake thanked next, as she at least was willing to give the voice a bit more slack as they were kind enough to wake them up and then warn them

"Yeah. Cryptic or not, you're okay in our book." Yang thanked last as she at least felt a bit more at ease with the voice now

"Thank you."The voice replied back before noticing Weiss seemed off a bit "Maiden of white, is something wrong?"

"I wouldn't say wrong. Just want a clear answer. But, WHY?" Weiss asked back as she narrowed her eyes a little and when the voice didn't speak she sighed wondering if it knew what she was asking "What I mean is 'WHY' you're doing all this. Why did you even help us in the dream. There has to be a reason and the fact too. But I'm suspecting you're not just some random voice. But someone who's actually alive. Am I getting close or not?"

"…. Hm, you always seemed to be the most perspective one maiden of white." The voice said as it or he started to lose that more masculine edge and became finally feminine in tone "You are correct maiden of white. What you hear now is the real me, for who I am. I can't say yet. But I can promise that one day we'll all meet up. Then I can give you more answers, I promise. But for now please get ready and like I said last time we meet. Keep that light inside you burning girls. It will keep you alive."

The voice then seemingly left as silence took over once more. Each girl a bit confused and uneasy with everything going on. After a few more seconds, Ruby sighed and knew she had to get into her 'Leader' mode as she dubbed it.

"Alright, girls I know things are harrowing; even downright nerve racking. But we need to keep calm and get ready. Blake wake up HK, Yang keep an eye on the door with HK and Blake afterword's. Me and Weiss will get ready first. Then we'll take over guard duty with HK. While you big sis and Blake get ready then." Ruby ordered as no one argued with that and then quickly made their way to what they needed to do first

Though as everyone did so, elsewhere our so called 'Voice' was dealing with her own state of worry…

.

.

.

It was a laboratory of sorts as a woman clocked in black sat in a chair surrounded by many computers and such. She took a deep breath as she wondered if the girls would make it out in time. They had too, if they didn't things would go from bad to instantly no hope for them all.

Still she had feeling they would. They had been very quick to adapt when in the dream nearly half a year ago and even now she had watched them during certain points. They had kept that light in them going and even now it burned bright. Though as she took a moment of peace. She averted her eyes to the shadowy door way to her right, that and the figure that stood inside it. She simply sighed.

"Teacher." The woman said as she had expected the man to come to back eventually "You're back. It's been a while hasn't it?"

"Indeed my child. Indeed it has and I see you've been busy." The man answered back, his tone deep yet filled with wisdom "What the situations with the four?"

"Three years and that's the first thing you ask me. Not how I am or… never mind." The woman chastised. A bit irked at her teachers coldness, even though she should have expected it "Anyways. The invasion has started and those four. The girls, I have a good feeling about them. I even sent HK there to keep an eye on them."

"And you erased his memory like planned child?" The man asked

"I did. I know the reasons why, but just seems a bit cruel considering how loyal he was to you." The woman answered a bit more irritated as she could barely see her teacher just do a shrug "How cold of you teacher. Did you not care for him as he did you?"

"I did care. But in the end he's simply a tool to be used. Besides his services will be more of use to those four young ladies then ever I or you." The man explained. A bit more softer this time which was rare in most case "Hm, sooner or later. It will come into play and then that group will show themselves."

"Yes they will, but do you think they will come very soon or much later?" The woman questioned as the man chuckled some

"Ha. If we know them, I'd say later on. Maybe much later on or on much more slim chance. They could come into play soon. They are a fickle group." The man exclaimed, before turning his back to his student "Now enough chatting, stay here if you want. I'll be going back to my old room. I need rest after such a long journey back here. Still, if you don't mind my input. I believe those four girls you've watched will be just what we need to end this all one day."

"Then I shall take your word for it. As cold as you are. You've never lead me astray with your words. Then again how can I doubt someone as wise as you." The woman remarked as the man simply smirked before making his way out

Once gone the woman sighed again before facing the computer screens once more and calmed her worried soul. She had to keep her faith in the girls. It was the only way she would keep sane, in honestly a very insane situation.

Oh how she hoped those four young ladies would stay safe and sound. She may be using them in way too. But unlike her teacher, she at least had a heart.

---

Running, running and more running…

That was the reality now for team RWBY as they were dressed back in their usual attire. Their weapons in hand, everything they needed from extra ammo, summon gems and their Pokeballs too. While with them were their family.

Well to be more exact with them was team JNPR, team CFVY, HK-97, Donald, Goofy and Whitely. All the teens, two adults and one droid running down the hallways; and stairs to reach the main hall of the school where the rest of the adults were at. Each of them doing the best they could to fend off the small heartless that were lunging at them with killing intent.

Actually a slight fib was told, for yes the girls of team RWBY and the others were indeed running down a hallway fending off Heartless. But there were two more with them, two individuals who were currently leading the group of teens. Who they were, well…

"AND TAKE THAT!" One Princess Henrettia screamed as she used another water base spell to push away the heartless in front of them

"Nice one!" One Amber complimented as she bashed in a heartless head in with the end of her staff

You see as team RWBY had been reunited with their friends who'd come to get them. Henrietta and Amber had arrived with the said group. A bit of a quick explanation from Amber revealed that when the invasion started up. They both and three others of their group who were part of a larger group. Had come down to help them out. The other three being with the adults and helping fending off the heartless down on the main floor of the school.

So here they were, all of them running and running with quite the success so far thankfully.

"Okay remind me again to never pissed that girl off." Coco exclaimed as she elbowed a heartless that had tried doing a sneak attack from the back without even looking. While she was just in awe of Henrettia's spell "Like for real."

"Oh don't worry. I'm nice enough and you all seem nice too." Henrettia said back as she pulled out a grenade that one of her friend may have given her. Then threw it behind the group as they ran passed it

What followed was a loud explosion that took out quite a few of the heartless as their limbs actually flew off and their bodies laid mangled before vanishing into black smoke.

"Hurray, another few dozen to my kill list. Haha!" Henrettia cheered as she smiled in glee and Amber along with the others awkwardly smiled a bit. As Amber at least had a feeling her friends were having more effect on Henrettia then she'd realized

"She says that with such a straight face…" Jaune muttered as he dodged a heartless that tried going for his throat. Whole Pyrrha who was starting to show her pregnancy a bit more now, swatted the creature away with her shield as it crashed into a few of its own kind

"Well I say preach explosive sister!" Nora mused as she was just stepping over heartless in her way and was currently smiling like mad woman "PREACH!"

"Of course she'd like it…" Weiss muttered as Ren who was near her sighed a bit at Nora's oddness even in times like these

"You know even after nearly half a year being here and I'm still not use to you guys!" Whitely screamed. Then leaped over a few heartless that had tried going for his legs and barely kept his footing when he landed. Before he kept on running alongside the others "Holy shit that was close!"

"Language Whitely!" Weiss scolded as the past months had helped improved her relationship with her mother, Whitely and Winter

"Oh ah sorry Weiss!" Whitely replied back as he was also still getting use to how much Weiss seemed to mother him

"Did you just seriously say language Weiss. Even for that's a bit much." Velvet exclaimed as she dodged a heartless that lunged at her as it slammed into the floor behind the group

"I know… it just slipped." Weiss said. Already having a very bad feeling that no one was going to let her live this down for a long time

"Okay maybe we can focus on running!" Yatsuhashi screamed as he was just bulldozing through any heartless that tried to attack him. He would have used his weapon along with the others here, but they all knew the hallways were a bit too small for a group their size to do so

"More running for real, more running!" Donald chimed in as he was just using his staff to bash in the head of any Heartless he passed. Since he didn't want to accidently hit anyone in the group with a spell in such a compact area

"Don't freak out so much guys. We're gonna be just fine." Goofy reassured the two, with his usual chipper attitude even in a situation such as this one

"Goofy's right guys. Just chill a bit. Still, hope were almost to the stairs." Yang stated as she punched a heartless or two in the face as she kept up with the pace

"We are. I've fallen down enough times on these stairs to know!" Ruby shouted with complete honesty and even oddly some pride in that

"Queary: Weird flex, but okay Mistress Ruby." HK-97 muttered a bit worried about how casual his Mistress Ruby sounded admitting to that

"What?" Weiss, Pyrrha and Amber yelled out themselves as that was just so random yet so relevant to the situation at hand

"That explains a lot." Whitely remarked. As he did like his sister in law plenty, even if she could be a bit childish at times

"I can trip you ya know!" Yang slightly threatened her brother in law. Having heard his comment. Even if she liked the kid enough, that did not mean she would not scare him senseless from time to time if needed

"I TAKE IT BACK, I TAKE IT BACK!" Whitely quickly apologized. As Yang was a nice sister in law too. But she was a heck a lot scarier when she wanted to be. Dust did he remember when he made a comment about her hair… never again

"Kids behave!" Henrettia yelled as she already was getting a good idea how her parents felt raising her time from time when she was younger. But she smiled some too when she saw the stairs before them "I see the stairs. Quickly we should be on the main floor after these ones!"

"Good because even I'm getting tired!" Ruby whined as her legs were killing her and she didn't want to use her semblance unless she needed too. But just then a swarm of the small heartless appeared in their way "Oh come on!"

"What do we do now?" Fox asked as he and the rest knew they couldn't stop and risk getting swarmed on

"Quick suggestion: JUMP!" HK-97 suggested as he'd given up even firing at these things since there were so many that taking a few out wouldn't even make a difference currently. Still his advice was sound enough that it made sense to everyone else

Without a second thought, everyone followed that piece of advice. Leaping onto and off the blob of heartless in their way. As each landed back on the ground. They booked it down the last the flight of stairs. As they did, they took care of a few more heartless waiting for them.

But as quickly as they entered the stair way, they reached the bottom and finally saw they were on main floor. But before any of them could say much more. They heard the sounds of battle coming from where the schools front entrance was at.

Without saying a word. They all ran to the source of the battle and quickly ended up spotting what seemed to be the end of it, well for now at least as they spotted the adults they knew; finishing a few of the remaining heartless either too stubborn or stupid to run away.

But the native teens of this world also saw the other three adults that must have come with Henrettia and Amber. Seeing the one named Freeze helping well, freeze the Heartless in place. While the other two named Johnny and Johnson. Along with the native adults, fired at the remaining frozen heartless. As they did what remained of the invading forces for now were gone. Said teens both native and non-native moving quickly moved over to the adults who were conversing by this point.

"Whew. Didn't think they'd ever stop." Tai-Yang said having been using his trusty old steel knuckles as he wiped some sweat off himself "Been a while since I've done this."

"Hm. Well maybe you should get some more exercise in old man?" Qrow teased with a smirk as some of the others go a quick chuckle out of that

"Funny, real funny Qrow." Tai-Yang remarked as he flipped Qrow off with a half-smile. Qrow doing the same back in the way only best friends/ pretty much brother in laws could do

"Banter aside for them. Freeze, Johnny, Seargent. Thank you for helping us out here, it would been harder if you hadn't come." Winter chimed in bringing her attention to their three sudden if not welcomed companions

"We would have come sooner. But those Grimm and heartless outside were more dead set on preventing us from doing so then. I would assume they have a connection of sorts.." Mr. Freeze explained as he checked over his freeze ray a bit to make sure it hadn't been damaged without his notice

"If that's the case. That is troublesome." Atlan mused as he wondered how the Grimm and heartless could be connected "Could the Grimm here and the invading heartless be related somehow. Like cousins in some way?"

"Please no… this experience already has scarred me personally with nightmares to come. I don't need any more nightmare fuel thank you very much." Willow groaned a bit as she along with Klein who was next to her had broken chair legs as weapons

"Agreed. That's enough to make anyone get nightmares." Klein added in as he sighed a bit at that possibility

"True or not. We've taken care of this current attack. But more will come soon, I know it." Ghira stated with a sigh as he eyed Victor "Victor where are those Atlas knights we had installed anyways?"

"Can't say Uncle Ghira. I tried activating them remotely, but someone tampered with them. When I tried activating them. All I got was a system error in the command functions." Victor answered as he was a bit irked at that and the fact apparently someone had done this without anyone's notice

"Make sense." Johnny simply said as some of the others nodded in agreement with him

"B-But who would do that?" Zia asked this time and was a bit unnerved by that revelation

"Seriously they'd have to be some kind of sociopath or something." Saphron chimed in as her wife Terra, who was holding a quiet if not scared Adrian close nodded in agreement; Saphron having used a frying pan she found as her weapon

"Most likey an outside force none of us took into consideration." Ozpin answered this time. As he let out a tried groan and rubbed his forehead "Someone who none of us know or have seen. If one of us had done it, then we'd have found out with all the security cameras we had set up."

"That is true. Someone would have caught it and Auntie or little Blake would have caught their scent too." Winter stated before she quickly eyed her aunt with an apologetic gaze "Oh ah, sorry Auntie Kali. No offense."

"It's fine deary. We know you didn't mean it in a bad way okay?" Kali mused as Winter nodded and the woman alongside her husband smiled at one of their nieces reaction. As they'd come to accept the Schnee's as their kin by now. Kali then sighed a bit herself "Still. I hope the kids make it here safely."

"I don't think you gotta worry about that lady." Johnson proudly stated as he pointed to the groups right as they all looked seeing the teens, Donald, Goofy, HK-97, Henrettia and Amber moving up to them. As they did everyone gave one another a hug from the native side in relief. While Henrettia and Amber moved over to their own. Johnson smirking "So. What took you so long ladies?"

"Oh you know. Blowing up and taking out the heartless. Needed more for my kill list. So ya know?" Henrettia joked as by this point she'd taken in a few quips of her fellow companions after being around them for so long

"That and just being super cool while doing it." Amber added in as she and Henrettia laughed a little. Before both looked back seeing the others reunion hugs were done with. Amber cleared her throat loudly as that got their attention "So friends these are three others of our own. Being Victor or you call him Freeze for short."

"Greetings children." Freeze said in his usual deep and mostly stoic if nearly emotionless tone. The teens though a bit put off by that, plus his rather menacing appearance. Still they either nodded or waved back as he had helped so he was okay in their book

"And these two are Sergent Johnson; and Johnny Silverhand." Amber said kindly as she pointed to the other two men of her group

"Nice to meet ya kids." Johnson said with a nod and smirk. While Johnny simply nodded back with a two finger salute

"Hey why do you call you Silverhands anyways?" Jaune questioned out of the blue as Johnny raised a brow at that

"Seriously kid?" Johnny rhetorically asked as he held his mechanical left arm up, and Jaune couldn't help but sheepishly smile realizing that rather obvious answer

"Heh… heh… the arm. My mistake." Jaune mused as he noticed his sister and some of the others facepalm for a second

"Anyways… thanks for helping out here." Ren quickly said if only to elevate the awkwardness Jaune was feeling

"Seriously. We were all worried about them on the way down." Fox added in. Though if the three men here were surprised by Fox's semblance, none of them showed it

"It was of no consequence child. I would assume Henrettia and Amber have explained enough that you know we are allies of the same." Freeze said before he sighed "I will say. We need to think of a plan soon. Those heartless may have back off now, but soon they'll be back and in greater numbers."

"The man is correct. We need to see if we can make our way to the town itself. Build fortifications and come up with a…." Xehanort began to say, as he had just in his hands. An old side arm he used to carry around as his back up weapon. It was down to one magazine left though. Still as the old man spoke he stopped all of sudden when a feeling. On he hadn't felt since years ago on the day the girls first truly meet flared up "No…"

"Grandpa?" Ruby asked as she, Yang, Tia Yang and Qrow were the most concerned as it was rare if not existent to see the old man so nervous all of sudden

"Shhhh. We have company." Xehanort began to say as he faced the front entrance and narrowed his eyes "Isn't that right?"

"Grandpa, what are you-" Ruby began to say as she. Only for her and the rest to quickly see what or who had caught Xehanorts attention as it was a person standing in between them and the way out of this school "Oh um… w-who are you?"

Said person was guessed to be a man if his body shape and size were any clues. Still aside from that, he was completely covered by a black coat that covered his whole body. Aside from the black gloves and boots. Finally, he wore a hood over his head as his face was shrouded in shadows. The man in question simply stood still with his arms crossed. Though he decided to humor Ruby a bit.

"No one, yet someone. But who knows, who cares. In the end of it all it would matter who I am. You'll be gone long before it would even mattered." The man answered in cool and deep tone as he chuckled some. While everyone else got a bit tense at the feeling of danger he was giving off

"Creepy…" Nora muttered as she was even feeling her usual chipper mood slipping just being near this guy

"No kidding." Terra, Winter, Willow, Donald and Ren muttered themselves having heard Nora's comment

"Hm, still I have to ask. You all as a whole. But why are you even trying?" The man asked as that was a bit of a surprising question

"W-What, because we have to try that's why!" Coco answered back first. As she went from surprised to angry real quick from realizing what this guy was getting at

"Yeah. Better than standing on the sideline or doing nothing!" Willow chimed in as she'd been getting annoyed already with this guy and it was barely even a minuet

"I see that. But you must know it's futile. For those native to this world and not alike, you are fighting against the inevitable and soon to be dead world. It's not worth even trying." The man remarked calm as ever. Though that started to grate everyone else's nerves at how calm he was saying such things

"It's not worthless. We're out here trying to save the world and all your doing just being a… a.. a critical jerk!" Pyrrha yelled now as she glared at the man with her shield up and her spear ready to use "Now get out of the way!"

"She's right. We don't have time for this, now move." Victor stated sternly as he punched his right fights into his left palm. A loud metallic 'clank' echoed as he did so "Or we'll make you."

The others followed in suit, aside from maybe one or two who didn't have a weapon. Though the rest despite feeling the aura of death from this stranger. Were more irritated with him now then wary as they'd be more than willing by this point to fight him if needed.

"And if I don't?" The man questioned. A bit smugly too as his tone became just for a second happy of all things

"Um earth to you creepy dude. But there are like ah... twelve of us." Yang, began to as she really hadn't counted

"Thirty-seven." Blake, Kali, Johnny, Yatsuhashi, Saphron, Xehanort and Glynda corrected

"Thirty… wait thirty-seven really?" Yang said as she found that surprising but let it be "Well like they said. There are thirty-seven of us and one of you. You really want to try something dude. Because if so, then be our guest."

"Maybe. But for now I think-" The hooded man began to say. Before suddenly next to him a dark portal opened and then someone came out of it much to the hooded man's confusion "What are you doing here?"

Said person was a man who looked just like just like the first hooded man clothing wise, aside from the fact that this man was somewhat slimer and a bit taller as well. That said, oddly the girls of team RWBY felt something rather… familiar with this second hooded man. Who they watched looked at the first and nonchalantly shrug.

"Simple buddy. Just wanted to, besides rather be here then be stuck alone with the boss. That and since everyone else is out right now. I got nothing to do. Besides I've been wanting to come back here ever since…" The second hooded man began to say. Before he stopped when he placed his sights right on team RWBY. Moving just a bit closer to them as the girls themselves, felt a bit scared all of sudden. Like they knew just how dangerous this guy was even if they had no idea why. Still the second hooded man seemed to perk up as he spoke once more "Well, well. It's you four brats. All grown up into such beautiful young women. I could almost shed a tear at this good old reunion. Ha, I knew this was a good idea!"

"Who are you, and what are you going on about weirdo?" Weiss questioned as she and the girls, suddenly started to feel an odd familiar feeling of irritation

"You really don't remember then, huh well I wonder why that is…." The second hooded man muttered as he eyed Xehanort feeling something was very different about the old man. He then chuckled as he decided to test his sudden little theory "Well, well how surprising. I finally get to see you four again and you've gone; and lost your marbles. Not the first choice I'd have liked but eh… beggars can't be choosers I guess?"

No one from the girls side laughed at that rather crappy joke, the girls though feeling even odder all of sudden from hearing those words. The second hooded man saw this and continued on as he might be right on his theory.

"Man tough crowd. Specially you four young ladies, but you're still teen girls. So I guess you're not too smart anyways, are ya?" The second hooded man remarked as he waited to see how team RWBY would respond back

"Jerk…" Blake said before she flinched saying that all of sudden. Everyone else having heard as well which confused them on why she just responded that way

"Seriously…" Weiss and Yang stated next. Before they flinched realizing they did that without even meaning to also. Now everyone stared at them wondering what the heck was going on

"Okay enough, who are you?" Ruby asked now as she was surprised she even asked that since she hadn't thought on it. The second hooded man though laughed a bit which only creeped out team RWBY primarily "W-Why are you laughing?!"

"Haha. Sorry ,sorry it just seems my little guess was right. Someone and think I know who 'OLD' man. Tampered with your minds, probably your parents too. But the fact you four responded back the way you did says enough. Mind altering spells are nearly perfect. Aside from a few traces of reactive responses when meet with a statement that could jog the affected individuals memories." The second hood man explained before eyeing Xehanort who seemed still calm as he could be "Gotta say old man. Even for me, that's pretty low to do that. Somewhat."

"Grandpa what is he even talking about?" Yang questioned as she and the girls were so confused. The parents and relatives were too while everyone else kept quiet though were a bit curious if anything

"Oh that's easy little blonde. I'll explain, you see about hm… I'd say ten years ago give or take. There were four little girls in red, white, black and yellow. One was a four year old and the other three seven. Again give or take. Anyways to get to the point, I was assigned to kill you four back then. BUT… a mixture of very annoying bumps caused me to fail at that task." The second hooded man answered. Much to the surprised of everyone else

Especially team RWBY. As they had no reason to believe the nut job, but for some reason they did. It made sense to them. That along with the fact when they had first meet. It had been tense of course considering their different personalities. BUT it also felt nice, like they were finally seeing old friends. But as the girls slowly let that info sink in. The second hooded man clenched his fists as he eyed the girls.

"And that failure ladies has been a stain on my record ever since. The only four that got away, that can drive someone mad. Still if you don't believe me. Then allow me to re-introduce myself." The second hooded man said as he removed his hood while the girls flinched all of a sudden as the now unhooded man bowed before them with a wicked smile "My name is…."

"Xigbar…" Team RWBY said as a real sudden uneasy feeling came over seeing the man before them

"The Free Shooter. At your service little ladies and may I say. Put's a smile on my face you even remembered my name. I'm touched." Xigbar remarked as he straightened himself back up, but before he could say more the first hooded man finally decided to interfere

"Enough Xigbar. I should have stopped you when you revealed yourself. But I'll admit I was even curious, but again enough is enough. We don't have time for this." The first hooded man calmly scolded as the building shook a little much to everyone else sudden confusion there "As you can see it's happening. We don't have much time and I don't think the master would be happy with you wasting time."

'Ugh… I hate that you right and I'd rather avoid dealing with the bosses temper. Gives me a headache every time I have too." Xigbar exclaimed with a sigh. But he eyed the girls once more "Looks like you brats got saved. But don't forgot, one way or another I'm gonna finish my job you botched up."

"You think we're gonna let you two leave!" Glynda yelled as she moved in front of the girls, followed by everyone else doing so like a barrier between them and the two men

"Yeah jerk. We're gonna break your legs!" Nora screamed as some of the others agreed with her on that

"And your arms!" Coco yelled next as yet again a good few of the others cheered in agreement with the teen girl

"The finish you off with a bullet to the head." Johnny sternly stated as much less of the others agreed there. Aside from the more military minded individuals and a few of the adults

"Oh that sounds all swell, but… see ya!" Xigbar stated as not even a second later a dark portal sucked both him as his friend through it. Johnny at least firing a round as it missed when the portal closed and vanished from sight

"Shit missed." Johnny muttered a bit irritably

"Well ah… good try I guess. "Pyrrha awkwardly said before looking back to see the girls who were just quiet "Girls. Are you okay?"

"Honestly… no idea." Blake answered first as she felt like today was just one surprise after another "I mean how would any of you be if you realized you knew your own friends years ago. Before having your memory erased or the fact apparently we almost were killed?"

"Speaking of… grandfather." Weiss said now as she took a deep breath before eyeing her grandfather in law "W…What did you do to us back then. W-Why did you erase our memories?"

"And did you really erase our parents memories too?" Yang asked now as everyone quickly focused on Xehanort

"I think we'd all like to know. Please dad." Tai-Yang chimed in calmly as he like everyone else wanted some answers

"Hm… I did. For good reasons, I can't say too much. But what I can say is that I did so because of a rather dangerous individual who would have taken notice of the girls if they had stayed together when they first meet. She would have done all she could to snuff them out, which would extended to those related to them." Xehanort answered before he sighed "But that does not excuse what I did and I have held that guilt with me ever since. But I will say this to you girls. The care and love you formed on that day so many years ago. When you first meet, never went away and what you felt is true even now. But again, I apologize to you four and the rest of you from back then. Truly I am sorry."

"And we forgive you grandpa." Ruby said finally letting her own thoughts come to as she smiled "I believe you when you say you did it for a good reason. Sure I am upset a bit still, but at least I got to meet Weiss and Blake here. Even if it was for apparently the second time in my life. So I'm happy for that."

Xehanort simply smiled back and the girls along with most of the others just let it be. Xehanort seemed genuine enough, beside it wasn't probably the best time for an interrogation. Especially since-

.

[Rumble, Rumbel!]

.

.

"Okay seriously what's with all the shaking?!" Qrow questioned as he and most of the others were able to keep their footing when another small earthquake occurred

"Well that creepy dude in the hood with mister eye patch said that 'it' was happening and I think-" Nora answered before another somewhat stronger earthquake happened. Once more everyone was barely able to keep their foot, before it stopped "Think that these quakes are the reason. We gotta get out of here!"

"She's right. We should-" Amber began to say before suddenly she and her other four allies began to sparkle a bit "No. No not now!"

"What's happening to you all?" Whitely asked now

"Two possibilities kids. Either the others in our group are calling us back or more likely. The world is finally done with us here for the time." Sergent Johnson answered as their bodies began to fade alongside the light that surrounded them all "Of all the times."

"We can all get answers on that later. For now, you four." Freeze stated as he eyed team RWBY "You'll meet us again one way or another. Be it us or the others. We are allies to you, which extends to everyone else here as well."

"He's right. So don't worry we'll have your back one way or another." Henrettia added in kindly, as the others of her group simply nodded in agreement

"Till next time, stay alive." Johnny simply quipped, as he made small smirk

"We will. See you guys soon." Ruby kindly replied back as she and the others either smiled or nodded in agreement

With that Henrettia, Amber, Johny Silverhands, Sergent Johnson and Mister Freeze vanished from view of everyone else. Once they were gone it was quiet for a few more seconds before Ruby decided to speak once more.

"Okay so a lot of crazy stuff has happened. But we need to get outside like now." Ruby said as yet another earthquake happened and almost tripped everyone up before it cease "Like now, NOW. Come on!"

Without a second more to waste, Ruby followed by everyone quickly made their way to and out of the schools front entrance. But as they made it outside every one of them stopped wide eyed in shock, awe and horror.

Why, because they could see now the damage of this invasion. As only pure, cold, void less darkness surrounded the school. Leaving the school in a dome like field and they only could guess that no ground was beneath aside from a sea of darkness. That and what they stood upon was the only solid ground left.

"Oh come on, seriously. What else could go wrong today!?" Weiss screamed at their misfortune. Though it seemed the universe really had it bad for them all today of all days

As moments later they could hear tearing and crumbling from behind. Looking back and quickly stepping away. They saw Beacon torn apart as it was sucked up into a vortex that appeared above them in this dome of darkness and just like that. The school was gone before anyone could even register what happened. A feeling of dread washed over everyone, and Coco was the first to at least express her version of her response to said dread.

"A-Are you… you… YOU…" Coco began to say, as her right eye began to twitch from how angry she was getting at these heartless. So mad that she couldn't help but express said anger not even a second later "YOU HEARTLESS JERKS, SCREW YOU… YOU ASSHOLES!"

"Whoa Coco chill." Jaune tried to calm down Coco as he was worried she might do something stupid in this state of mind

"Seriously we get you're mad. But maybe we should keep our tempers cooled right now." Velvet added in, as she too was worried Coco might do something real stupid and knowing the girl; she probably would

"Well not like I blame her. I'm super ticked off too. I mean did you see that, those stupid heartless just destroyed our school. Our HOME and now we're stuck on this stupid land with no way off!" Nora interjected as she like Coco, was livid by this point at their luck so far "UGH. THIS SUCKS!"

"Enough you two. It's understandable why you're angry, but yelling about isn't going to help with the situation. Understood?" Glynda scolded rather sternly. As both girls were about to argue, only to flinch a little when they saw the stare Glynda was giving them. The two took a moment, before nodding slowly that they understood "Good. Now then, maybe if we look around some more. We-"

But as Glynda was trying to lay out a new, if not somewhat desperate plan for her and the others to at least follow. Suddenly a bright orb appeared from above the dome. Shinning like the sun itself as everyone had to cover their eyes a bit to even get a slight glimpse at it.

"AH MY EYES!" Willow screamed as she, along with Klein next to her covered her eyes

"GAH!" Adrian in Terra's arms whined as Terra covered his eyes with her free hand as she was fine enough. Thanks to her glasses even if she squinted her eyes a bit

"TOO BRIGHT!" Saphron screamed as she covered her own eyes

This was followed by various amounts of more groans and screams of annoyance at how bright this sudden ball of light was. Heck even HK-97 being the only non-organic had to cover his optics from the brightness of the lights. Each of them either really annoyed or somewhat annoyed by the bright light. That said, only four had a different set of feelings. One team RWBY. For team RWBY, this light suddenly gave them a rather uneasy feeling.

For good reason too as none of the girls had taken notice of their shadows. As they started to grow and grow longer by the second, all thanks to the light that shined above them. It wasn't until a few seconds later before Blakes sixth sense kicked in and she looked behind her. Wide eyed in horror quickly as she realized this was just like the dream so long ago.

"No…no, no, NO!" Blake screamed as she turned her focus to the girls. Though everyone else noticed a panicked stricken Blake too "GIRLS OUR SHADOWS!"

"Blake what-" Ruby began to say before she followed by Weiss and Yang took notice of their shadows too "AH!"

"Not good, not good!" Yang screamed next as of all times this had to happen now

"Girls what's-" Zia began to ask before Weiss cut her off

"No time. Move away from us now!" Weiss screamed. Hoping the others would listen to her warning

"Weiss deary, what are you-" Willow began to say and then suddenly she stopped

For next what was to come. Was that they now all heard the ever so famous voice that the girls of team RWVBY had heard a year ago by now, in the dream that started it all.

.

"Be careful dear maidens. For those who come closer to the shining righteousness of the light, will fail to see the shadows within grow stronger…"

.

Like a before the girls and now the others of their made family heard the woman's voice; and before any of them could say or ask any questions. The others quickly took notice too of what team RWBY was worrying about. As they watched team RWBY's shadows melt into one before it began to form a monster that team RWBY hoped to never see again. They and the others back up a bit as they watched the shadow beast form before their very eyes.

.

"Don't be afraid young maidens, do not cower away from the darkness. Do not fall to your…"

.

By this point those who'd only been told second hand accounts from team RWBY of this thing growing and forming before them. Realized just how rather bone chilling and intimidating this creature was. They stopped seconds later, followed by team RWBY.

As for Team RWBY, they dreaded the fact they'd be facing this thing again. This nightmare that stayed in their minds even now. This bastard creations formed from their own shadows. Yes, they felt pure dread as the beast completed its formation and stared down right at the girls. Who only could say one thing as the name went through their minds like it had only been a day since they meet.

.

"Rompita Koro…." Team RWBY said getting their weapons ready as the beast snarled some seeing their reaction to it

"_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/!" Rompita Koro roared much louder than before

It was so loud, that even the air around the girls and the others of their group vibrated just a bit; before they barely noticed the beast slam it's hand down at them. Everyone moved away in separate directions. Ruby a bit aways to the far right as she landed on her back. She took a moment, before steadying herself out.

"Ugh… that wasn't fun at all." Ruby muttered as she rubbed her head, then noticed she was alone "Where are-"

"Ruby!" Weiss suddenly yelled as Ruby looked to her left seeing her, Blake and Yang making their way up to her. As they got to Ruby they stopped while Weiss quickly began checked over her wife "Are you okay dear. Nothing broken right?"

"Sweetie I'm fine, honest. Hehe. " Ruby answered as she grabbed her wife's hands and gave her a reassuring smile as Weiss smiled back relieved "Still are you all okay?"

"We're fine Ruby. Still that all said and done, what's the plan. That thing is going to kill us if it gets the chance." Blake stated worriedly

"I don't think we need to worry too much on that just yet Blake." Yang answered her girlfriend as she pointed to Rompita Koro. Who was currently swinging it's claws around and using its arms as shields as everyone else who had a weapon began firing or stabbing the beast "Gutsy."

"Gutsy or not we need to-" Weiss began to say. Before she cringed seeing everyone who'd been fighting flung away and landing on the ground near them hard when Rompita Koro swiped them away finally "Oh not good, we need to do something quickly before it notices us!"

"Too late cousin…" Blake said as she and the girls flinched when the beasts right eye focused on them now

It wasn't even a second later before the beast swung at the girls who barely dodged the attack. Pulling their weapons out they began to either fire or stab/punch the beast. It wasn't too long into the fight before the girls began to feel fatigue. Thanks to the constant running around and dodging without a second to catch their breaths.

As the girls fought some more, Ruby and Blake by now were stabbing/slashing the beasts body with their weapons melee forms; since they ran out of ammo; like Yang and Weiss had. Rompita Koro seem to have enough as it let out another deafening roar. Stunning the girls for a moment. But gave the beast just enough time to swipe all four girls away back to where the others were. The others who still seemed injured and unable to get back up yet. Also the beast hit them hard enough that team RWBY, even Yang with her gauntlets. Lost hold of their weapons. As the four slid on the ground in pain, despite their aura's taking in some of the damage. Near them closest was Xehanort who was clenching his left thigh.

"Are you… okay girls?" Xehanort asked as he knew for now he was out of the battle thanks to his leg injury

"Fine…. Fine as can be grandpa…ow… how bout you all?" Ruby asked rather loudly as everyone heard that and gave appropriate responses

"We're fine enough… ish, Adrian is okay too!"

"GAH!"

"Thank god for that…"

"Well I need extra pancakes after this. Reny please!"

"Oh Nora… okay….."

"Whipped...ow…haha….ow…"

"Feels like a hangover kiddo.."

"I've now accepted I'm getting too old for this crap.."

"Agreed…"

That one came from a good few of the parents, and older individuals in general. While mostly everyone else stayed quiet no having a word to say or they just didn't find a need to at the time. Still either way it wasn't too idea right now for any of them.

"Q-Q-Queary: Mistresses, w-where ar-rrreee you're weapons?" HK-97 asked with a slight twitching to his head and body as sparks flew out. His body already doing self repairs

"Hey yeah, where are your weapons?" Donald asked rubbing his sore head while Goofy was just lying on his back groaning a bit in pain

"Our weapons. Oh crap where could they-" Yang began to say before she and the girls who quickly began looking for them. Then they noticed who or in this case, what had them "You have got to be kidding me…"

Oh yes, for Yang then the girls and everyone else. They quickly noticed Rompita Koro holding them within its paws. Looking at the weapons with its demonic eyes, before it looked at the girls. Then back at the weapons one more time. Before once more back at the girls. A second later it seemed something came to the beast. An idea which made it do something rather unsettling. It made the beast smile with toothy sadistic glee. Which creeped everyone out who saw it, heck it made HK-97 the droid feel uneasy and easily made the baby in the group; Adrian crying not even a second later.

"W-Why is it-" Weiss began to ask only for the beast to show exactly why it smirked

Without a hint of hesitation and even more increasing glee in its own actions. It closed its paw as a loud 'CRUNCH' echoed in the air. Seconds later it moved its hand vertically, before opening its paw and dropping the piles of scrap that had once been the weapons of team RWBY. Adding more salt to the wound, it threw some dirty over the pieces like they were nothing but trash.

'"OUR WEAPONS!" Team RWBY screamed angrily as those weapons weren't just weapons. They were gifts and projects that held much sentimental values to them

"YOU PRICK!" Team JNPR, team CFVY, along with even Tia Yang and Qrow yelled having a similar mind set to team RWBY when it came to their own weapons. So they could understand the girls anger there

Though the anger would quickly vanish as Rompita Koro, did one last thing that unnerved the girls to their very core. It laughed…

"Hehe…hehe…HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Rompita Koro at first chuckled, before in a deep yet inhuman shirled tone. It laughed and laughed more as it slowly walked closer to the girls and the others, like it knew they were scared

And the beast had every right to believe that as the girls at least truly did feel helpless now. They couldn't use the others weapons effectively enough to fight back and they couldn't run. Even with their semblances, they still didn't have much they could throw at this thing. In all rights they were truly helpless right now. Like four kittens against a lion. A lion who gaze upon them told them exactly what it was thinking.

.

"I'm going to enjoy this…."

.

That was what Rompita Koro unnerving smirk and movements told as it got closer by the second. Still as the girls could only watch in fear as their death came to claim them. The woman's voice suddenly spoke once more, as if an angel coming to save them.

"Do not falter maidens of red, white, black and yellow. You have the power to fight back, you have the light. So fight!" The woman's voice screamed as at the same time, Rompita Koro fired off from its fingertips four bolts of shadows straight at the girls hearts

As this happened the others around the girls were screaming in panic for them. But the girls themselves, suddenly felt different. As if that dread washed away, so they clenched their right fists feeling a warmth start to flow around it.

Then they stood up and took their stances as the bolts came closer. They didn't ever hear the continued screams of the others telling to run away at this point. No instead team RWBY took a leap of faith and swung at the bolts with their right hands as the warmth around them glowed brighter.

And as the bolts made came into contact with the girls, sparks shot out from them and pushed back the bolts. Which flung against Rompita Koro who growled a bit. Though seconds later everyone was shocked as they looked at the four young girls. With determined looks on their faces and in their hands unlike any other, were weapons that had a sort of glow to them. A glow of hope.

The only two who had different reactions were the beast Rompita Koro who growled even more in irritation. While Xehanort smiled back, seeing that the girls had finally done it. They had summoned their keyblades.

And to Xehanort the girls keyblades were alike in many ways to those he'd seen before, at least in general build and shape wise. From the dark steel grips and poles that stuck out from the top, to the general shape of the weapons being giant keys with their key chain that dangled from below. These were Keyblades indeed. Though they all were still very different from one another.

Like for Ruby's. Her keyblade had a red circular hand guard, with three rose petal like blades and for the keychain a red rose with a white hear in the center. As Ruby inspected this weapon the name 'Scarlet Hope' echoed to her.

Next for Weiss, her keyblade had a white-ice blue one sided handguard. With two angel wings on each side made of clear ice. The blade of the weapon was a set of three ice spikes, while the keychain was a snowflake with a red heart in the center of it. The name 'Aurora's Grace' echoed in her head.

Then came Blake's keyblade as it had a white narrow rectangular handguard. With what looked to be small black engravings of petals, the blade part being three black flower petals with white highlighting them. Her keychain being a purple flower with a yellow heart in the center of it. The name 'Shadows Protection', echoed in her mind.

Finally Yang's keyblade like the others was fitting for someone like her. For her guard was that of bright yellow square handguard, with what looked to be extra pieces of orange around it like an ribbed shield. The blade being that of three yellow spikes with black tips. Her keychain was a large yellow flame, with a Black heart in the center. The name 'Unwavering Flames' echoed in Yang's mind moments later.

As team RWBY eyed their weapons in shock, surprised that now of all times their keyblades finally showed up. They also couldn't help but feel an familiarness to their keyblades. Which they had no idea why that even was in the first place.

"Are these our…" Ruby began to ask as at least for her. She felt as if she never lost her weapon Cresent Rose just now. As the keyblade in her hand felt just as familiar to her as her Cresent Rose had for all these years since she'd created the weapon

"They are you Keyblades my dear maidens. But do not fret, as I told you before; you had the power to fight. That light inside you has guided you to this moment and now that it has. You must do what is needed. Fight back!" The woman's voice explained calmly yet stern as the girls looked back Rompita Koro who gotten over its initial anger and growled some more. Ready to attack "And remember again girls, keep that light of yours always shinning no matter what."

Without warning Rompita Koro then swung it's fist right at the girls. Only for further surprised to happen. As Yang by instinct swung her keyblade as a way to deflect the attack and somehow had easily reflected said attack, like it had been nothing. Rompita Koro whined some as it's knuckles on its right hand were cut up with black blood dripping from the wound. Growling it looked back seeing the team RWBY running right at him. In a renewed fit of rage the beast began to just swipe at the four to kill them with one hit.

But as it did team RWBY suddenly felt their bodies being overcharged beyond their limits. Taking advantage of this, they kept on dodging the swipes each time. Blake herself being able to swing her Keyblade down at the left hand of Rompita Koro as it tried to hit her. Resulting in the same effect as when Yang had done it. The beasts left arm flung back, as it's hand looked mangled from the hit alone.

Though the girls didn't let up. As Weiss decided to try something out, making her way right in front of Rompita Koro. The beast snarling its fangs out by this point as it began to charge up a beam from its mouth. But didn't get a chance to finish up charging as Weiss threw her keyblade in spin motion right into Rompita Koro stomach. Causing the attack to cease, while the beast hunched over coughing out blood and veil from the mere force of the hit. All the while Weiss's keyblade flung back into her hands with elegant grace.

Ruby then followed up running past Weiss as she swung her Keyblade up and under the chin of Rompita Koro with a powerful upper slash. The sounds of a broken bones echoed and fragments of its fangs could be seen flying off. Rompita Koro in agonizing pain, fell onto his back and didn't get back up. Waiting for a few more seconds without any hint the beast was getting back up. The girls regrouped and took a moment to admire their handy work.

"Holy crap. We, we just did all that!" Ruby stated as she was beyond ecstatic. Looking at her keyblade she smiled in pure joy "Was it these or could we always do that, and just couldn't until now?"

"No idea Ruby but…" Weiss began to say as the girls all noticed Rompita Koro get back up, only to fall on its knees as it whimpered in pain while black blood spilled from its fresh wounds

"Seems like that thing's as stubborn as us. Then again it was born from our shadows, so I guess that's fitting." Blake joked a little as if that was the case then it made sense on why this beast seemed so stubborn to kill them even with its injures

"I say we finish the job." Yang suggested smirking as the others did as well. Then Ruby looked for a moment and quickly saw the perfect spot to finishing the beast off for good

"Girls. Follow me lead." Ruby simply stated running right at Rompita Koro while the others followed

Rompita Koro meanwhile took notice of team RWBY charging at him. The beast even with the pain from its mangled mouth, started to form another blast of energy to shoot at them. Only as it blinked for a moment then opened them after. It saw that team RWBY had somehow vanished. Confused it ceased its actions and wondered where they went. Until it was too late as it felt four blades stabbed right into its skull. Pain surging through it as a warm light made it felt like its brain was burning from the inside.

"DIE!" Team RWBY screamed as they kept their Keyblades lodged into the skull of Rompita Koro. The beast began to thrash and wail, while the girls did their best to stay on the monsters head as it started to get slower and slower

It didn't take much longer before Rompita Koro came to a near halt. Then it just started to wobble and then it finally fell. Team RWBY pull out their keyblades and leaped off near where the others were still at as they were getting up themselves now. Still as they landed on their feet, Rompita Koro's body hit the ground and made a bit of a dust cloud that dissipated seconds after.

Though before the girls could ask if everyone was alright. Suddenly Nora ran up to them and gave them all a big old bear hug.

"OH MY PANCAKES. THAT WAS SO COOL, I MEAN YOU ALL WERE LIKE SUPER AMAZING JUST NOW!" Nora cheered as she lifted the girls up in glee that they were safe and how cool the fight had been. The others moving up closer to Nora moments later, equally in amazement of team RWBY display just now

"It really was. I mean all those moves you did and just wow!" Pyrrha added in as she wondered if the girls always had this potential locked within them

"I'm just glad you came out this alive. I was getting worried." Tai Yang chimed in as he felt his heart beating still in his ear from how worried he got when he watched the battle

"I think most of us felt that way. Parents or not." Victor exclaimed as the others nodded in silent if not total agreement there

"Speaking of, Nora you might kill the girls if you keep at it." Willow stated as Nora raised a brow seeming rather oblivious to what she was hinting at

"Allow me." Ren said, as smiled a bit "Nora. You're doing it again. You know, the crushing with your hugs."

"Wait what?" Nora panicked as she looked back at the girls who seemed as if the literal air was and really was being crushed out of them. Nora quickly released the girls as they landed back on their feet. Avid breathing in air like mad now "I am so sorry, I forget sometimes when I get excited!"

"It's.. okay… Nora… d-d-dear lord. My life… flashed… before eyes… so many cookies." Ruby said as she was taking in real deep breaths

"And… and all the tuna I never ate. F-Flying ….in my sight like… like… it was MOCKING ME!" Blake whined, as she felt like her worse nightmare come to life for those moments of nearly being crushed to death by Nora's bear hug

"Odd… very odd." Weiss muttered as she and Yang gave each other a look that said, 'Just let it be.'. A similar quick gaze to Blakes parents cemented that sentiment. Weiss let out a sigh as she felt better by now "Anyways. We're fine, just fine but ah… Nora. Be a bit more careful okay?"

"Seriously haha. What are made of girl?" Yang teased a bit with a smirk as Nora smirked back with a cheeky amused grin

"Muscle and love for hugs ladies!" Nora cheered as that got a quick laugh out of the younger folks at least while the adults smiled and HK-97 just watched in silence

"Well all's fine now. Sorry me and Goofy weren't much help though." Donald apologized, rubbing the back of his

"Yeah. That monster just got us real good, we would've helped a lot more if we hadn't been hit. So sorry." Goofy apologized also before Weiss cut in

"Enough boys. None of that alright, you did all you could. Besides it's not like you or anyone else here in a matter of fact. Knew you'd be taken out of the fight that quickly. Besides that beast hit hard. I think the only reason we survived as long was because it was toying with me and the girls at first. Before we ended kicking its butt. But still, no need to apologize. Okay?" Weiss mused somewhat sternly. But donned a warm smile as Donald and Goofy nodded that they understood "Good and I hope the rest of you don't feel the same."

"Believe us we don't, at least anymore." Ozpin answered kindly as he and the others chuckled some at the small joke just there

"Hehe. Well good and since we're all okay. We should try and see if we can find a way off-" Ruby began to say. About to suggest they find a possible way back onto solid land… if it was there. Until a sudden small tremor caught her off guard, which got her nervous "Hey um… d-did anyone else feel that just now?"

"You mean the ground rumbling again?" Yatsuhashi asked before suddenly another much more violent one occurred making everyone almost fall over. But they kept their footing "Yes, yes we did!"

"Oh no…." Xehanort muttered as he had a good idea on what was about to happen

But before anyone else could say more, suddenly the ground began to rumble even more before it started crumble from the outside. The group quickly moving to the middle as the ground once there began to get less and less. Finally their last piece of land was gone and they all began to fall down to the darkness below.

"AHHHH!" Whitely screamed as Winter quickly grabbed his left hand, before Willow who was holding Kleins hand grabbed his right

"HOLY CRAP!" Nora screamed as Ren moved in and caught her left hand with his right "Ren!"

"I got you!" Ren said as he tried to move over to Pyrrha, who Jaune was holding in his arms to keep safe. As he got closer he held out his left hand "TAKE MY HAND!"

Jaune though trying to do so, alongside Pyrrha. Suddenly got tug by a stary current of strong wind before being pushed right out of the dome itself. Much to the horror of everyone else around them, especially the family members of those two.

"PYRRHA!" Atlan and Zia screamed in horror

"JAUNE!" Saphron and Terra screamed too, while Adrian in Terra's arms cried seeing that

"NO!" Ruby screamed too. Before she quickly moved over to Weiss and got a hold of her right hand to secure her grip on her wife. While Blake grabbed her cousins left hand while she held onto Yang. Ruby then focused on everyone else "GRAB EACH OTHERS HANDS!"

Without needing to be told twice everyone else did so. From the teams getting a hold on each other's hands, to the adults doing the same after in a quick manner. To the baby Adrian being held by Terra still while HK-97 and Saphron kept a good hold on her. To finally Ozpin and Glynda getting a good hold on Xehanort. Which in the end formed a circle. Though they quickly noticed a large portal open below them.

"OH CRAP. IS IT BAD TO SAY I'M SCARED?!" Coco asked as she was freaking out right now

"NO!" Velvet, Blake, Nora and Glynda all answered back at least, while everyone else just kept quiet even if they felt scared too

"Statement: Be prepared for whatever comes next once we entered the portal. We could end up somewhere else or drown. Preferably somewhere else!" HK-97 exclaimed as that really all he could do to help calm down everyone around him. Though he more curious then worried at what would happen next as the portal light up brightly "Worried Queary: The portal is doing something weird!"

"Not good!" Ruby screamed as she was getting really nervous now. Then she focused on everyone else "HOLD ON EVERYONE!"

With that they fell a bit more, before right into the portal of light. Seconds later it closed and with it all that was left was darkness. Cold, empty, darkness of a once populated world…

[They say that first contact leaves an impression, well that would be more prevalent today for our hero's and their allies…]

Today just got more confusing by the second…

At least if you asked Willow Schnee. Who alongside Klein, her cousin in law Ghira, her cousin Kali and Xehanort. Had for the past hour been walking through a large plain of grassland. With sidewalks and a playground or two, etc. Honestly it was as if they were in the park of all things. That and it was mixed with so many trees, the type one would find in the more jungle like areas of Remnant. To be exact, it was a big tropical park of some kind. With also a variety of animals both known and unknown to the group of five.

It helped that the first thing any of them saw when awakening was 'Traverse Town Safari Park'. That and another sign that said 'District 4'. So the group of five got a good idea they were in only a part of a much larger place. Still didn't help that it was only them and no one else.

Oh sure again there were the animals like birds, squirrels and mostly small creatures one would mostly see in a forest of any kind that weren't Grimm. But aside from that, it was just quiet. A creepy sort of quiet to be exact if not an oddly peaceful one too.

Though that aside the group of five were just walking and walking down the middle of the grasslands that made up the center bulk of this safari park. Even if it was more by guessing at this point, wasn't like there were any directional signs to lead them. Still so far it had been peaceful enough walk for them. If again not confusing.

"Jeez, how far is this exit?" Kali asked out loud after a long moment of silence between them all "I mean. I get this is a Safari park and walking is kind of the whole idea here. But this seems a little much. That and my feet are killing me."

"I have to agree with Kali. All this walking is taking its toll on me, especially with my knees." Xehanort stated with a sigh as he stopped making everyone else stop too as the old man seemed to be tiring "You may continue onwards. I'll catch up soon as I can."

"Not happening. We're staying together Xehanort. If one of us stops, we all stop." Ghira sternly replied back

"He's right. I believe Mister Ozpin told the kids once, 'We hunters and huntresses stay together.' . I may not be one myself, but the saying still holds truth to it." Klein added in kindly

"Indeed. Retired or not the saying applies to you too. Besides I think your granddaughters would be on our cases if we just left you here. That and they'd be probably upset with you more for suggesting it in the first place." Willow mused with a smirk as the slight threat made Xehanort flinch for a moment

"Ah…um, yes. Yes then I guess we can wait, no need to tell anyone of this… especially my granddaughters." Xehanort grumbled rather quickly. But then again he had reason to do so. As he loved his granddaughters dearly, but they must have inherited Summers stubbornness somehow because they were on his case with his health as much as she had been at their age

Still that got a quick laugh out of the group of five. Well at least for those not Xehanort who was now dreading the possibility of his granddaughters taking notice of his tiredness whenever they meet back up. Hopefully soon, but he still dreaded how his granddaughters would be.

Though that quickly changed as suddenly a few pair of footsteps echoed from behind. The group of five quickly and with a bit of caution turned around as they eyed a few newcomers. Which turned out to be a group of also five individuals.

The first seemed to be a woman if the body shape, though barely noticeable could tell. As aside from that the woman wore mostly all black from her boots, pants, shirt or what they could see of it. A feather like cape that covered most of her top half. She also wore a black hat and a bird like mask with the beak, and all. The only thing that stuck out was a well-crafted dagger that was hanging on the right of the belt she wore.

Then came the second which was another woman. Who was what some would call the literal opposite of the first woman. She was a peach skinned, brown eyed, brunette haired woman. She wore a blue undershirt, a black shirt over her first shirt, knee-length green capris, a brown belt, a metal breast plate, metal plated gloves and boots also covered by metal plates. Finally she sported silver stud earrings and red headband wrapped around head, while she also sported long ponytail. No weapons could be seen on her. But she looked tough enough either way.

Next came the third and yet again was another human female. She was much younger, maybe in her earlier or even mid-twenties it was hard to tell. She had pale skin, blue eyes and long white or maybe silver or even very light blonde hair. She wore a white skirt, jacket, blue undershirt and black heels. Honesty if anyone asked she could have been mistaken being a Schnee. Still the group could barely see the holster pistol from under her jacket.

Next being the fourth was an older human male. Fair skinned with a long grey beard, hair and mustache showed. He wore a pair of round glasses over his dark eyes. Wore a pair of blue slipper like shoes, a long blue robe and pointed blue hat that sagged a little at the top. He also held in his hand a well-crafted wooden stick.

Still now it came to the last of newcomers. A male if the body size could indicate, but he also was not human. He was giant red cat-tiger thing. With red fur, golden bracelets on his wrists and ankles. Dark brownish-red hair on his head and back making a sort of a mohawk hair style. He had one missing eye it seemed on his right as his left eye was yellow with a black iris. He had black markings over his body too. One of the markings with the number 13 in roman numeric and finally his tail the tip of it, lit up into a flame.

As the group of five strangers stared down the group of our other world natives. All who were still rather wary of the them. It was the second woman who spoke up before any possible hostilities could arise.

"Hey no need to worry folks. I know it probably doesn't seem like it, but were the good guys." The second woman began to say with a chipper smile as she pointed at the first woman "I'm Jessie, Jessie Rasberry and this is Eileen. She's very nice once you get to know her!"

"Hm…" Eileen hummed as she just gave a nod

"And the other lady with us is Koko, she's like one of my besties." Jessie went on as she gave Koko a smile

"Heh and you're one of my besties. Still nice to meet you all, like Jessie said. I'm Koko." Koko greeted with a toothy grin like Jessies as the group of non-natives had a good idea why they clicked so easily

"Anyways for our boys here. Theres Merlin our resident wizard." Jessie went on as she pointed to the old man now

"Greetings. It's pleasure to make your acquittances." Merlin greeted with a nod and kind smile

"And then we have Red XIII, he's a good one." Jessie mused as she petted the beasts head and said beast did something that was a surprise to the others… he spoke

"Yes, well don't mind me much. But like the rest it is a pleasure to make your acquaintances." Red XIII in a somewhat deep and rather sophisticated voice said "And if this is the first of you seeing an animal speak. Apologizes for the sudden surprise. Speaking of, Jessie where is that little sister of yours?

"Oh right silly me. We do have one more with us, she should be-" Jessie began to say before she was suddenly cut off

"AHHH!" A much younger girl screamed from above as the sounds of a tree branch breaking echoed and said girl feel down, only to be caught by Eileen seconds later who rather irked at this

"Child. You need to be more careful, if either I or the others hadn't been here then you could been hurt badly." Eileen scolded the young girl as she let her down on her feet

To be exact this girl looked to be about maybe fourteen at least with a slightly more tanned complexion, big amber eyes, short brown hair and a rather sheepish if not infectious smile. She wore a short-sleeved hooded shirt, that was white and indigo in color, a pair of denim jean shorts, dark gray leggings and a pair of white slip on's. She also wore a pair of black earing's and taking a closer look the hood on her shirt look to have a pair of cat ears on them. All in all she seemed rather well innocent. Still said girl could only sheepishly smiled back at Elieen currently.

"Hehe sorry Eileen. I just saw you both doing those super cool jumping moves and I had to try ya know!" The third girl began to say before she noticed the group finally and smiled much more sincerely "Oh wow new people. That's awesome, oh, oh are you like from a world that has space ships or magic or your own-"

But Eileen quicky covered the third girls mouth as she sighed, while Jessie just chuckled at the interaction between the ever stoic Eileen and the young girl. Who she pretty much considered a little sister by this point.

"Child, shhh. You're going to pass out if you don't stop to take a breather once in a while." Eileen said sternly again, if not with the slightest bit of amusement as she removed her hand from the girls mouth

"Heh sorry again Eileen. Just am excited is all!" The third girl answered ever so chipper as an amused grunt from Eileen reassured that it was fine in the end

"So cute, like my Jonah!" Koko squealed as Red XIII and Merlin cringed a bit knowing how ahem… she behaved when it came to 'her' Jonah at times. Honestly they were surprised the boy hadn't died from embarrassment

"Totally Koko. Anyways this ball of energy and adorableness is my little sister Luz. Ain't she such a sweetie." Jessie mused as she sweetly patted the top of Luz head who seemed to beam a bit at the sibling like affection

"Hola, nice to meet you all. Like my big sis said. I'm Luz. Luz Noceda, super happy to meet you!" Luz cheered with a big smile as the others from the group just smiled back a bit at how welcoming Luz and the rest were so far with them. But then Luz cleared her throat "Anyways were here to ask you to come with us. A grumpy friend of ours, Leon said to do so. Since he and a few of the others will have answers!"

"Answers?" Willow finally said for her and her fellow group members

"Yep. Granted I had questions too when I first showed up, since apparently I died and came back or something like that. But ah, never mind. I'm rambling now. Point is Leon and some friends from my own world will have the answers you're looking for. Promise." Jessie exclaimed as the group were rather confused on what she had even been going on about before. Though Red XIII cut in seconds later

"They are correct. I know you must be warry, trust us that's reasonable. But if you want answers and to regroup with the rest of your friends. Come with us please." Red XIII explained calmly

"He does have a point and it's better than just walking in here aimlessly looking for the exit." Ghira said as the others couldn't helped but agree

"Then I guess we have a plan." Kali added in and lowering her guard now along with the others

"We do indeed." Xehanort chimed in as he felt his body was feeling better enough to keep on walking again

"BUT, before we go. You mentioned our friends. How did you know about them?" Klein asked, as that was the only thing he found suspicious here

"Heh. No need to fret, a friend of ours helped out." Eileen answered as she pointed to a tree next to them. A blue blob like orb popped out from the side, before retreating back in "That was Yin or at least one of the specter's she uses to monitor the various districts alongside someone else. You'll meet them soon enough."

"That's how we were able to find ya just to say." Luz added in

"We really should give that girl a break though. Despite saying someone like her will be fine, she's done quite a bit for us since arriving." Merlin chimed in as the others of his group nodded in agreement there

"Indeed. Still, smart of you to ask us that sir. Very smart." Eileen complimented as Klein simply nodded back

"Speaking of. Before we make our way off, mind telling us your names. You know just to make it easier." Jessie asked as the grouped looked to one another before nodding in agreement and Willow deciding to go first

"Since you asked, I'm Willow Schnee. The others here are family of mine." Willow started off. Then she motioned anyone else in her group to continue

"Kali Belladonna. I'm Willow's cousin." Kali answered next with a quick bow and smile. Though those not of her group wondered how that worked considering the cat ears Kali had

"And you may call me Ghira Belladonna, Kali is my wife obviously." Ghira simply said. Still a bit wary of these new comers, but would give them the benefit of a doubt for now

"You may call me Klein. Quite a pleasure to make your acquittance." Klein said last with a bow of his own

"Hm… may I assume you're miss Willows husband then?" Merlin asked, though the others swore there was a small smirk under his beard

"Well ah he's um ah…." Willow tried to say. But was caught off guard by that statement and couldn't find an answer. Then she looked to Klien for help "K-Klein help me out here!"

"Hmmmmm….." Klien instead said. As he was cover his face a bit as a hint of blush creeped onto it by the rather not untrue; but also not fully true guess there

"KLEIN!" Willow bellowed as she was blushing madly. Feeling like a school girl again as some of the others around snickered

"Well he isn't denying it." Red XIII bluntly mused as he sniffed the air and then cleared his throat a bit "Besides, you have his scent on you. Recent and pervious too since way back-"

"O-OKAY ENOUGH. N-NO NEED TO SAY MORE!" Willow pleaded as she was blushing furiously by this point, yet didn't notice the odd stares from the others

Mainly Kali, who raised a brow towards her cousin. Wondering what Red XIII meant by…Oh…OH wait a minute had they… were the kids… but wait how would that have worked considering Klein had been hired when the kids had already been born. Especially Winter since she would have been a teen by then. Unless the two had known each other way back before Willow got mar… OH DEAR DUST.

Kali went wide eyed as Willow noticed and realized herself Kali may have figured something out considering the kids. Willow gave her a pleading look that screamed 'I'll explain later, just please don't draw attention to it!'. Kali only nodded that she understood, but she did want some answers. Thankfully too Xehanort cut in seeming to catch on also maybe. But if he did really, the old man didn't show it. Still he cleared his throat loudly as everyone focused on him now.

"Hm. Well as amusing as this is you may call me Xehanort. Pleasure is mine, now may you kindly lead us out of here. My body may be feeling a bit better. But I would like to take a nap soon. As generic as someone my age could say, it is true." Xehanort introduced

"Preach…" Merlin muttered with a sigh as he knew how Xehanort felt, that was for sure

"No need to be ashamed. I hate to admit too but I'm getting near my twilight years too. Age, such a burden at times isn't it?" Eileen mused as she began to lead him into the forest itself as she and Xehanort just started to talk. Merling close behind the two

"I guess that's our que. Can't wait to get to know the rest of you better." Koko cheered as she made her way off now where the others went

"Totally gotta agree with Koko. It's gonna be a lot more fun now with new people. So come on, follow us and you'll get your answers!" Luz cheered as she followed behind now while doing a bit a cheerful skip

Jessie simply smiled, before she and Red XIII follow behind. Willow a little less flustered now, gave the others a look that said 'Should we?' and all she got were slight hesitant shrugs. Though realizing it was better than just walking. She quickly made her way behind were the other were leading them. Klein, Kali and Ghira following behind seconds after.

Though as they did. Willow really hoped everyone else was doing just fine. She hoped.

.

.

.

A strange day, yet despite all that had happened beforehand. Right now was peaceful...

Really peaceful to be honest as Saphron and Terra found themselves in an amusing predicament. Why you may ask, well…

"Where's Adrian… THERE HE IS!" A little girl said. Playing a game of peekaboo with Saphron and Terras son who seemed to be loving the game so far

"Haha, haha!" Adrain laughed as he sat in another little girl's lap who was happily holding/ hugging his waist as she cooed at how cute he was

Actually to put into more context. Saphron, Terra along with Qrow had awoken in some district called the 'Farm District'. If the odd and very domesticated animals were any indication there. There was also the many farmhouses, barns, food silos and stables that cemented that fact. But that wasn't the oddest thing.

No oddest thing was they apparently were surrounded by six little girls between the ages of six to eight years old, maybe even ten. Their names being Illya, Rin, Sakura, Anya, Kim and Tina. Along with one nearly teen boy named Jonah, who was one of the two in charge with keeping an eye on the girls since he was the oldest kid. The other a teen girl named Ling Xiaoyu or just Xiaoyu being the actual oldest of the group here.

Ling Xiaoyu had light olive skin, brown eyes and dark black hair tied in two high pig tails held up by two orange hair bands. She wore am orange vest called a qipao, two orange bracelets and white jogging shorts. Finally, she sported a pair she sported a pair of orange a white strapped ballet slippers. All in all she could be considered cute, yet she gave off an aura that she could hurt ya bad. At least when she wasn't currently with the kids as her current aura was bubblier and sweeter.

Jonah meanwhile was lightly dark skinned young man with white messy short hair and red eyes. He wore a white shirt, tan cargo shorts and brown boots. Honestly, he seemed simple. Not in bad way, just not very experienced when it comes to just normal things people do on a daily basis. A pure kind of simple, yet he also seemed to have behind those eyes of his scars for a boy of his age. But again had that gentle soul in him.

Still they had apparently landed right during the seven kids and one teens day out to the farm. It wasn't too long before the younger kids ended up dragging Qrow into playing with them at least. While Xiaoyu simply join in, while convincing Saphron and Terra to let Adrian join in the playtime with the children.

So here Saphron and Terra were. Sitting next to Jonah as they watched Qrow playing a game of eye spy with Illya and Rin. Qrow letting the two girls win of course as they gave each other a high five, while Qrow feigned defeat to them.

Rin being a fair skinned little girl with blue eyes and black hair tied in two long pig tails held by black bows. Wearing a white long sleeved button shirt, a red skirt, white sock and black shoes. She gave off the image of a rather intellectual and well manner girl.

Then came Illya who was pale skinned, with red eyes and silver hair. She wore a purple snow coat, cap and a white skirt with purple boots. Like Rin, she gave off a rather intellectual and well manner look as well. Then again from what she explained. She lived with her mama and papa in a mansion surrounded by snow so that could be the reason there.

Xiaoyu meanwhile was happily letting two other little girls, Anya and Sakura do her hair as she had let it down for them to do so. That and apparently, they saw her as a big sister. As Ling had happily said 'You can do big sisters hair girls!' when they all had first started to play.

Still Anya was a peach skinned with big blue eyes, pink hair and two little caps that went over tuffs in her hair and gave off a horned appearance. She wore a simple black dress, white socks and black shoes. She was rather cheerful and talkative too as she helped braid Xiaoyu's hair.

Then came Sakura who was fair skinned, with purple neck length hair that had a little red bow on the back and pretty violet eyes. She wore a long-sleeved purple dress, white socks and black pumps. She seemed shyer then the others, even with a slight lack of joy behind her young eyes. No idea why. But the only other thing that could be said was that she was Rin's little sister. Though she hadn't been for a bit but yet became her little sister again when they arrived here. Confusing, but the two seemed to love each other dearly.

Adrian meanwhile again was playing with Kim and Tina in a game of peekaboo. As the toddler found the sisters antics with the game amusing.

Speaking of. Kim was an olive skinned girl, with long dark blonde hair and amber eyes. She wore a simple white dress and brown sandals. She also wore on her right wrist a silver bracelet and a silver diamond shaped neckless. Kim was also the older two of the twins.

Then came the Tina. She like Kim had olive skin, with long dark blonde hair and amber eyes too. But her hair was tied in a ponytail. While she wore a black dress, tanned sandals, a gold bracelet and a golden diamond shaped neckless. Despite being twins she seemed opposite in some ways to her sister. Oh and she was of course the younger twin sister, by a minuet. A fact Kim NEVER let her forget.

Still the kids seemed nice enough already, so here the two women were. Just sitting and watching. Though to break the silence a bit they did want to at least speak with Jonah since from what they had observed so far. He seemed a bit too quiet for a boy his age. Even the most well manner one's were rowdier then he was. Heck Sakura who was almost as quiet as Jonah at times talked more than him. So Saphron decided to start off as she coughed and that caught the boys attention as he turns his focus to her.

"Ahem, so Jonah. How'd you end up being the caretaker for the girls here?" Saphron asked as she snickered bit seeing Jonah awkwardly scratch his cheek with a small blush from the question. But she had a good idea on the 'How?' from the reaction alone "Heh. Did they hit you with the puppy dog stare?"

"Um… ah… yeah. They did. I'm ah… not used to dealing with that stuff. Some of the people I know also told me it would be, well good for me. Come out of my shell or… whatever." Jonah answered as he blushed a bit more when Saphron and even Terra chuckled some

"Hehe. Oh don't feel embarrassed, personally I think it's adorable. You're like a big brother to them." Saphron mused as she did find it cute that Jonah had become some sort of big brother for the girls here

"It really is cute and you should be proud that they trust you enough to see you as a big brother. Anyways teasing aside. I wanted to ask too, but I know this is a farm and stables of sorts. But what kind of animals are some of these anyways?" Terra asked looking at one that looked like a furry bipedal goat with horns. Well a herd of them "Like those ones. Would you be able to tells us more on them?"

"Oh them. Well I think they're called Tauntauns. You'd have to ask someone who reads Glados data banks more often." Jonah answered as Terra and Saphron raised a brow at the name. Jonah sighed remembering they were new here "Right ah, she's this computer lady. She's a bit snarky... actually she really snarky and condescending when she wants to be. But some of our own. Tony and Sid somehow got her to cooperate. Since before that she tried to like force us do a bunch of test with some robots called Atlas and P-Body. Who are way nicer. Even if they can't talk aside from the occasional robot gibberish."

"Well that's nice to know. Mostly." Terra mused, as she had a small fear of robots and AI's in general. Her wife on the other hand LOVED those concepts

"Oh that is so cool. I gotta meet em when I can!" Saphron mused in glee as Terra sighed knowing that would be the woman's answer

"Heh. Well you both will sooner or later. Everyone's gonna want to meet you. But you said you were with others?" Jonah asked

"Yes. We got separated and when me, my wife, Qrow and Velvet woke up here. Then you found us and you know the rest." Saphron answered with a sigh "Just hope they're all okay. Especially my little brother and his fiancée."

"Same. But we can only hope for the best dear.' Terra chimed in as she gave her wife a peck on the cheek which helped cheer the blonde up

"I'm sure they'll be found sooner or later. I mean you landed here and we have a few other districts so… you know. They should be in one of those ones and I'm sure some of the others are looking for them as we speak." Jonah answered as he gave the two a small smile "Either way, you're gonna be here for a while so um…welcome to Traverse Town."

Saphron and Terra simply smiled back at the welcome. Before they and Jonah went back to watching the others interaction. That and enjoying the peace for the moment, besides. The others would surely be fine. They'd just have to wait and see.

Peaceful. That was what it was SUPPOSED to be between the meeting of Traverse Town and the newcomers…

Which it had been mostly, expect for one which lead now to what was transpiring in the main HQ of this town. Along with the scolding being laid out to two of the member of each group.

"Seriously what the heck were you two thinking. Especially you Jin!" A young, exasperated girl said as she was not happy one bit

The young man or Jin being yelled out had a semi-light olive complexion and spiked black hair, with brown eyes. What he wore was a pair of black pants and a black. Both pieces of clothing having a flam decal sown into it. One on his left arm and the other his right leg. On his back was a circular emblem that also seemed to be a flame design. He also wore a pair of red fingerless gloves and black boots. He had currently on his right cheek a bandage, along with being a bit bruised up.

This young girl scolding the young man had light olive skin, pretty dark brown eyes and short black hair. She wore tan short shorts, a pair of white socks, black and white accent shoes. Black fingerless gloves, a black head band and a sleeveless green sweater vest that left her midriff exposed. All in all this girl was what could be called cute and petite. But in a more kid sister way if one were to be honest. Finally on her back she had a large metal star shaped weapon strapped to her. Her named was Yuffie Kisaragi. One of the original first few who ended up in Traverse Town with a good few friends of hers.

With her currently were five others. Four women, one man who Yuffie was scolding and one A.I who happened to be female. For those of the group from Remnant. Which was Atlan who was the other one being scolded by Yuffie. Maria, Winter, Tia Yang and Victor were the others. They had learned the names of the folks here rather quickly.

Which for the females, even the A.I one. Was a woman named Maria, a younger girl named Yin, an older woman called The Fairy Godmother, Yuffie herself, Glados the A.I woman and the only male in this group being scolded named Jin Kazama.

Now for what happened before from both Jin and Atlan to end up being scolded by Yuffie. That alongside the fact both men were covered in bandages. Well to put it in simple terms. Apparently Atlan and Jin had come to a misunderstanding and ended up fighting. Both men able to keep each other at bay. Before those of Atlan's group woke up to try and stop him. Along with those of Jin's group catching up to him, well Yuffie at least considering the others stayed in the HQ during this. BUT she too quickly ran in to stop Jin.

So if we put two and two together. It's quite obvious that the two men had a pretty good fight if anything. Still that didn't save em from the scolding that Yuffie was relentlessly giving them.

"Seriously just…UGH!" Yuffie groaned at the stupidity of Jin at least. Before she eyed Atlan "And you didn't help either!"

"Well to be honest, he did-" Atlan began to say before he felt his wife glaring at him from the back of his head. He quickly shivered a bit as he cleared his throat "Ahem ah… I mean, I apologize."

"Well at least one of you did. So Jin. Anything to say?" Yuffie asked as Jin just shrugged making Yuffie groan "Why are you so stubborn. Seriously how does Xiaoyu deal with you?!"

"Simple, she's a masochist." A female robotic head thing in the colors of black and white, with a yellow eyes said. She was mounted into the celling and her name was Glados "That or she's just stupid."

"Sheesh. I don't even know the girls and feel bad for her." Tai Yang mused as he felt like this was normal if few of the groans could indicate that. He eyed the Fairy God Mother next to him "She usually like this?"

"Sadly yes deary and funnily enough, this is her being nice." An older woman answered. As she was peach skinned, with dark eyes and grey hair. She also floating a bit in the air with the small wings on her back. While she wore a blue hooded clock over a light blue dress, blue shoes, a pink neck ribbon and had a small well crafted stick in her hand. This was the Fairy Godmother. A sweet old lady to those who'd come to know her

"Joy…" Tai Yang muttered as he rubbed his eyes a bit while keeping quiet if only to avoid getting into the sights of the blunt and rude A.I

"Glados can you not say that. She is nice to you, right?" Jin said a bit sternly if only because despite his friend Xiaoyu being frustrating to deal with at times. She was still his friend even if he had tried early on to make her stay away for him for her own safety. Still, he felt a need to defend her since she couldn't right now not being here and all that

"Correct meat head Jin." Glados mused as Jin resisted the urge to threaten to break her monitors again. Glados meanwhile kept on "Do not mistake my words for slander. It is as what I learned called 'Simple Girl Talk'. The sisters Maria and Yin introduced me to it."

Said sisters were in sitting next to one another. The older sister being a nearly pale skinned, blue eyed woman with light blonde hair. Wearing what only could be described as an old time dolls attire. This woman was Maria, who was a rather well made doll as she looked human aside from her rather lack of any kind of emotions that were monotone. Though that hadn't stopped her from basically adopting Yin as her little sister after a while of knowing one another.

Said little sister was fair skinned with purple eyed and silver hair. She wore a long sleeved black dress mixed with purple, a black skirt. Black stocking that were currently off and black shoes that also were currently off. The only other thing that wasn't black was her purple hair band that kept her hair in messy pony tail style. This young lady was Yin and in fact was fully human. But for some reason shared the same lack of any emotions aside from monotone like Maria had. Hence why she and Maria clicked when they first meet, before it became a sister like relationship.

Still everyone turned their attention to the surrogate monotone sisters. Maria wiping off Yin's feet as she just pulled them out of the bucket of water she used. Both sisters noticed this and looked back at everyone else.

"We only showed Glados it because we read it in one of those 'MAG-A-ZINES' as you call them." Maria explained as Yin simply just nodded while Maria took the bucket of water, before dumping it out of the window near them "Was that not correct to do. I was only doing the task given to I and my little sister Yin. To help us and Glados here understand emotions better. Well mainly me, since Yin and Glados have a better understanding already. But did I make a mistake?"

"No, no you're fine Maria. You're fine. Just might have to get you some better reading material or something." Yuffie mused before she sighed. Then stared back at Jin and Atlan "Look, just both of you promise not to start anymore fights okay?"

"Oh we will. I'll make sure on it young lady." Zia stated as she patted Atlan's head with a sweet smiled "Right hunny?"

"Yes ma'am…" Atlan muttered. As he knew that was the scary wife smile by this point. Thanks to being married to his loving if not again, scary at times wife for so long

"Good hubby!" Zia cheered as she hugged Atlan who just smiled at his wife's cuteness even if she could be scary when she wanted to be

"And that Jin is what you need." Yuffie muttered as Jin rolled his eyes a bit. But by this point Winter and Victor who had been silent decided to finally speak up

"Well. Amusing as this has been I need to ask. But what now?" Winter asked first as it was a reasonable question

"Nothing currently." Yin answered having put her stockings and shoes back on now. Then moved over and sat in a chair, while Maria moved over to her own chair next to her "And if you're curious. My specters spotted your friends. All of them and most have already been found. They should be brought back here sooner or later."

"That's good to hear. But when you say most…" Victor asked now as he'd taken notice of that quickly

"Do not worry. Those ones are fine, though still out cold but again safe." Yin explained as she eyed Glados "Is that why P-Body and Atlas are not with you Glados?"

"Correct and I am not sending them to do test again…." Glados said as everyone stared at her and even if Glados didn't show it. She didn't like being stared at "What?"

"Well no offense. But it's hard not to suspect a bit, especially during the first week we ended up here. Poor Amity, the girl was a mess of hormones when you placed her in that locked room with Lutz. With the air conditioner on full blast so they had to hug each other until we found them." The Fairy God Mother stated a bit sternly

"Yeah not to mention how pissed Angela was." Jin added in as he shuttered some. Mainly since the women could have been his mother reincarnated at how stern she could be under that sweet demeanor of hers

"Or how much Tony, Tiffa and Koko teased the two afterwards." Yuffie chimed in "At least with Koko and Tiffa it was tamed. Tony, he's a good friend but he can be such a….a…"

"Jerk?" Maria suggested having heard that word enough times by this point to use it properly

"Some of the others would have much more colorful words that's for sure." The Fairy God Mother mused before she smiled at Glados "Still we mean no ill will here. I'm sure you aren't planning anything, besides we could always call Sid to-"

"NO, anyone but him. My wires are still too dirty for that hun... fleshy like him to see!" Glados quickly countered almost sounding flustered a bit before she collected herself "AHEM. That said, if it helps at all. I leant them to Leon. He said he needed scouts as he was assembling a small team to find those still out cold near S-Sid's shop."

"Ah that would explain it. Then that would mean they are here." Yuffie said as those of the group raised a brow at that and she took notice "Ah right, you don't know much I assume. Well since you got the time… would you like to hear a story?"

Yuffie then smirked as without even letting them answer she began to tell the newcomers a very important story they'd need to know. All the while elsewhere in this town, one last group was getting prepped for the task at hand.

.

.

.

It was time…

Time to test those who had been chosen by the keyblades and thanks to Yin's specters; at least now known it was four girls in Red, White, Black and Yellow.

That was what one man, plus three other men and four women knew as they had grouped up for this task before them.

The first was the leader of the group. He was a young man with peach skin, blue eyes and neck length dark brown hair. He wore a white shirt, a black fur collared vest and silver cross neckless. He also sported a pair of black gloves, pants and shoes. Finally, he had sheathed on his back a blade that also looked as if was mixed with a revolver. A 'Gun Blade' if one were to call it that. His name was Squall Leonhart or Leon for short. He was one of the first settlers of Traverse Town.

The second of the three other men. Was the biggest in body size and muscle mass. His lightly dark skin, black hair and beard helped his amber eyes pop out. Alongside the two claw like scar marks near the lower part of his right eye. He wore a brown sleeveless jacket, with a black shirt underneath, a pair of green jeans, brown boots, a brown fingerless left glove plus an arm guard. With his right arm replaced by a freaking mini-gun barrel of all things. This man was Barret Wallce. He too was another of the first arrivals in Traverse Town.

The third of the groups men had peach skin that showed around the lower half of his face and his blue eyes showed. The rest of his body was covered in a red, white and blue armored suit of sorts. Helmet included with a large letter 'A' printed on. The gloves and boots he wore were brown though. Oddest thing was he had no visible weapon. Instead he had red, white and blue round shield with a large white star in the center. To those who lived in this town this man was another refugee. Who went by the name of Steve Rogers or Captain America.

Finally came the last of the men. The only thing that could be told of this man was well that he was a man from body shape alone. Since the rest of his body was covered in a gold and red color armor. The blue glowing eyes and light on the chest the only things that were off color. To most in this town, he was known as Tony Stark or Iron Man. That and he came from the same world as Steve did.

Now came the women of the group. First up seem to be the oldest of them. Despite how young she also looked. From her flawless peach skin, blue eyes and lovely blonde hair tied in short ponytail. A set of white and black head gear adorned her head. That alongside the white, black and orange colored clothing; and armor that covered her body. Two stubs on her back in the shape of wings oddly and finally she had in her hand a white and black staff of sorts. Put that all together and she could be seen as an angel. To those in the town this woman was one of two resident doctor by the name of Angela Zingler or Mercy.

Second of the women in this group had lovely olive skinned, long back haired woman with pretty brown eyes. Wearing a black sleeveless top under a white one. She sported a black skirt, with straps over her shoulders connected to it. Black cloth arm guards, black gloves, stockings and red shoes. She was a deadly looking beauty, her name was Tifa Lockhart. She like Barrete and Leon, came from the same world.

Third of the groups women had short black hair, wore an eye patch over her left eye; which was yellow. Her pale olive skin add to her beauty along with the somewhat muscular arms she showed off. Since she wore a black sleeveless tank top, with grey military cargo pants and black boots. Holster was a knife on her left and a pistol on her right. This woman was known in town as Valmet who like a few others from her world. Ended up here and stuck a while back.

Finally last for the women in the group was in fact a teen girl around middle school age. Maybe seventh, eighth grade at most. That along with her shorter stature alone and less ahem…developed body if one were to be allowed to say so. Easily added up for her being the youngest. This girl had pale skin, yellow eyes, green short hair tied in knot at the top with some brown in it like it was dyed. She wore a cute little outfit of purple, black and grey. With black shoes and all of it seeming more of a school uniform then anything. Though she had no weapons to be seen and oddest thing about her were her pointed ears. This girl went the name Amity Blight. Who with one other from her world. Had been stuck in this town for a while.

As the group stood there it was Leon who sighed as he decided to address what their next move was and what the plan would be.

"Alright, so as I said before. Once we find the wielders we should-" Leon began to say before Tony cut him off

"Wait for you to tick them off to attack right?" Tony said as Leon rolled his eyes but nodded a 'Yes'. Tony smirked as he liked getting any kind of reaction out of Leon considering how stoic the man was. But he then noticed Amity seeming a bit pouty "Hey Debbie frowns. What's eating you?"

"Hm…." Amity grumbled as she knew Tony was just being nice… in his own way. But she still found his nicknames for her at times grating. Still might as well tell them her own thoughts on this though "If you need to know. But I just don't like the idea of attacking them. Test or not, seems a bit much Leon."

"Maybe but like or not Amity it needs to be done. Better than misplacing our faith in people who can't even put up a fight." Leon replied back a bit more stern then he meant as Amity flinched just a bit. Leon just sighed a bit "Look, Amity if you don't want to be here. We can find someone else. It's fine. Honest."

"N-No I want to help. I haven't done much since we've been here so… you know." Amity quickly reassured with a determined gaze

"At-ta girl. Knew you had in you." Valmet said kindly as she ruffed Amity's hair a bit since she and her had become surrogate sisters. Valmet then eyed Steve, smirking some "How about you old man. You good?"

"Heh very funny. But I am, besides need to make sure we don't go too hard on them. Hopefully. Right Leon?" Steve asked as Leon shrugged making the man sigh "Guess that's as good as we'll get."

"Ah don't worry. Leon might act tough, but he's a softie in the end." Tifa mused as Leon gave her a slight glare. Only for the woman to smirk and wink at him before sticking her tongue out for a second

"And if anyone does get hurt we got the doc here so we should be good." Barret added in as he pointed to Angela

"That said lets avoid that. Understood?" Angela replied sweetly, if not with a stern edge as she smiled. Everyone else nodding quickly as they knew not to tick off the woman even if it was out of concern her anger usually came from. Angela happy to see that her friends understood looked around before back at Leon "So Leon. Any word yet from P-Body and Atlas?"

"Can I ask but why are we using them again and not Yin. I like those bots enough, but they're well…" Barret said. Though held his tongue to not come off as rude

"Morons, scatter brained, bucket heads?" Tony suggested with his usual bluntness

"Rude. Like really rude!" Amity scolded a bit as she liked P-Body and Atlas very well. But that might be because she and Luz were the first two to meet them

"Oh come on sourpuss. You know it's true." Tony rebutted as he always liked getting Amity worked up. She was WAY too stoic for a kid her age if you asked him

"Well ah… well still!" Amity said a bit flustered she couldn't argue there since her two metal friends could be… a bit absent minded at times

"Thank you Tony…" Steve muttered with a sigh as he knew Tony was gonna say something while Valmet and Tifa at least chuckled "Still. Barret does bring up a good point. Yin is quicker with her water specters."

"Well if you must know. Yin was already using more than she should have when it came to her water specters. She still hasn't fully healed up yet. Remember it was Angela and Aerith that found her wounded when the rest of you came here." Leon explained as the others cringed a bit remembering how bloody Yin's left side was when she was brought in

"That is correct, not to mention she's a rather frail girl to begin with and you can guess why I told her only two to maybe three specters at once if she must." Angela added in as she was glad at least Yin was seeming to fill out more with the diet plan she had put her on. Helped that Yin surrogate older sister Maria was making sure she stayed on it

"That makes sense. Still… OH. Wait speaking of the bots!" Tifa said as a portal opened. A large blue one that appeared on a brick wall, before one robot walked out

This one was tall with thin limbs and an oval egg shape like body that kept the limbs together. With the body apparently separate and held by the body frame, and finally had one large orange eye connected to the body itself. The whole of the body was mostly painted white, with accents of orange and some black. It also had over its right hand a white object with wires and tubes; that also glowed an orange hue at the end. This bot's name was P-Body and she was in fact female. That would be easily clear when you meet her other fellow robot.

Speaking of another bot walked out behind P-Body only to crash into her as it or he trip somehow. The portal closing as the second robot fell on top of P-Body. This robot to be exact was the opposite of P-Body and male. His body was much shorter with more thick and stocky limbs, and his body was a circular shape with a blue eye connected. His body, was painted mostly white too, with accents of blue. Finally this bot had an exact device that P-Body had on her right arm. Expect his had a blue hue that glowed at the end. This bot was P-Body's friend, Atlas.

As these two bot crashed into the ground. Atlas rubbed his head, feeling a bit embarrassed for tripping so easily as the portal behind them closed. As Atlas began to wonder where P-Body was, he was thrown off by her as he fell on his back.

Atlas then got back up grumpily as he saw P-Body dusting herself off. But Atlas moving over to P-Body. Began to quickly in his odd speech yell at her.

"HRRR. VRP VRAC CHRP HRRR, FRRR, BLR, BRUPPP!" Atlas scolded as P-Body seemed to take offense a bit

"HUVVA, PRAPA. KRIC RCC!" P-Body yelled back as Atlas did a robotic gasp and kicked her in the left knee. P-Body didn't seem to like that as

Then the two started to slap fight each other as the others watched, either deadpanned or sighing a bit. They knew they would have to wait now before they got their intel. Since that's the sole reason Leon at least used them to spot the Keyblade wielder or wielders. But hopefully the two robots wouldn't be arguing too long.

Hopefully…

A small tickle and such...

That's what Ruby started to feel as she began to stir awake. Feeling like she was back home with her dad, her big sister Yang and their dog Zewi. But as she began to wake up she felt like she was laying against wall of all things. But still the licks on her face tickled.

"Hehe… hehe, Weiss that hm…" Ruby murmured before opening her eyes and seeing before her someone who was not her Weiss

It was a light peach pup with a cute black nose, ears tail and had a green collar around its neck. Oddly though it looked cartoonish. Like how Donald and Goofy looked. Still the dog was adorable either way if you asked Ruby.

"Arf, Arf!" The dog barked happily wagging its tail as it seemed so happy to see her awake "Arf!"

"PUPPY!" Ruby screamed in glee as she began to pet the puppy. Which then prompted everyone else to stir awake from how loud she just was

"Ugh… Ruby what…" Weiss began to ask before she opened her eyes fully seeing a strange dog looking down at her "Ah… dear, who's this?"

"Don't know. But this puppy is already so adorable!" Ruby cheered as she petted the dog some more

"Hm. Well the pup is cute. Aren't ya." Weiss mused as she began petting the dog too. Before suddenly from their right a fully awake Donlad and Goofy came

"Pluto!" Donald and Goofy cheered as they moved up to where the rest of their group was at

"Arf, ruff, ruff!" Pluto barked as he leaped up a bit as Goofy caught him and began to lick Goofy's face

"D'aw we missed you too Pluto!" Goofy said as he and Donald began to pet Pluto as well

But as that happened Blake, Yang and everyone else. Which was Ozpin, Glynda, HK-97, Whitely, Nora, Ren and team CFVY. All quickly awakened thanks to the extra commotion and moved over to team RWBY was at by this point. Watching the sweet interaction between them. It was Ozpin though who broke the ice as he coughed loudly enough for Donlad and Goofy to hear. The two quickly turning their attention to him as they kept petting Pluto.

"Pardon me gentlemen. But I assume that dog is one you know well?" Ozpin asked even if it was pretty obvious

"Darn right we do. This is the kings and queens dog, Pluto!" Donald answered happily as Pluto wagged his tail staring at the larger group of strangers

"Aw. He super cute!" Nora mused as she found the cartoonish appearance of the hound super adorable

"Totally!" Coco and Velvet added in as they too found Pluto's more simple and innocent appearance adorable

"Heh. Can't say I don't agree." Ren remarked before looking around "Still, I wonder where we're at now. It can't be Vale."

"Maybe we're in Atlas or Vaco?" Yatsuhashi suggested

"No way we could be in Vaco. One it's not blazing hot and two it's night time if nobody notice. But even then Vaco is burning hot. I remember staying there for a month. Worst month of my life, no offense if anyone came from there." Fox said, as he rubbed his chin wondering if maybe; just maybe it was something else more outlandish despite the evidence they knew of

"I agree with Fox and we're defiantly not in Atlas." Whitely chimed in "If we were you'd all be freezing right now. Even in our most warmest weathers. It's deathly cold. That along with the fact me and Weiss would know cold weather. We're practically immune to it considering where the manner was at."

"That is true. Well maybe me not as much anymore since going to Beacon. Still if it's not either of those or any other place I could think of when it comes to Remnant. Then maybe… maybe…." Weiss began to say. But stopped when she had a bad feeling it was the 'other' possibility considering what she'd learned when it came to her grandfather in laws past

"Another world?" Donald said. Everyone flinched looking at him as he and Goofy seemed a bit hesitant to say more. While Pluto who been put back down, had moved behind them watching in silence

"Hesitant question: Is it?" HK-97 asked this time as Donald and Goofy looked to one another before sighing some "Worried Queary: That is a yes then, correct?"

"We were kinda having a feeling there, I mean girls remember the place we were told to go to first to find you?" Donald stated as the girls thought back before Blake remembered first

"Oh right, Traverse Town. Wait are you saying this is the place?" Blake questioned

"That's what Donald sayin Blake. I think I remember a few pictures the king left us back on the ship showing us the place." Goofy said as he thought more on it "I think…"

"Well either way were here and… and it's just starting to sink in how terrifying this is." Glynda replied as it took her a moment to realize the implications and what she was seeing before her "I just hope we find the others."

The others in the group couldn't help but just nod in agreement there. They knew their family and friends were probably okay. That said, again they couldn't help but worry. Thankfully Ozpin took over so no one could dwell anymore on said worries.

"I'm sure they are, each one of them are smart enough to keep safe. That aside for now we should try and see if we can anyone to talk with and get some information." Ozpin suggested as the others all couldn't help but agree that was probably the best choice of action for the moment. Looking at Ruby, he smiled simply "Since you were the first to wake up and meet our new furry friend.. huh?"

"Huh?" Ruby asked as she noticed Ozpin a bit surprised when he looked over to where she assumed he saw Pluto move over too. Which was behind Donald and Goofy, but was surprised when she didn't see him "Whoa, hey where did he go?"

"What?" Donald replied back before he and Goofy looked back now along with the others seeing Pluto was gone. Donald sighed "UGH. That dog always does that!"

"Really, is the puppy gonna be okay or should we start looking around?" Velvet asked a bit worried for the dogs safety

"Eh don't fret Velvet. He's smarter than he looks. He can keep himself safe." Donald reassured

"Well if you say so…" Velvet muttered. Even though she and most of the others were still pretty worried for the dog'

"Ahem not to change the subject, but girls. Do still have… you know your new weapons?" Ren asked now as everyone focused back on the girls, who looked at each other

Then after a moment or two of hesitation. Be it because they just didn't know or didn't want to have them despite how helpful they were since that would make them the dubbed 'Chosen Ones' here. But the girls gave each other a nod, before holding out their hands. It wasn't second later before light formed and just like that their keyblades were in hand again.

"Oh so we do have them… yep." Ruby said as she and the girls were still very on the fence here with these Keyblades. Mainly because these things were the reason any of this even happened, even if they did help during the last fight. Still as if the keyblades could sense the girls conflicting feelings for the moment. They vanished seconds later "Huh and I guess they're just as easy to put away. Have to admit that's kinda cool."

"Totally, but it really sucks we lost our old weapons though." Yang chimed in as she and girls sighed a bit at their hard work being crushed just like that in front their eyes

"Yeah…." Blake and Weiss groaned. As even if they weren't as sentimental with their weapons, they spent a lot time on them and A LOT of lien for the pieces. Before that flee bag Rompita Koro crushed them like they meant nothing

"Trust us, we understand." Coco chimed in as she and the others had truly felt the pain of just seeing team RWBY's weapons crushed like they were nothing. Knowing they'd be down too if that was their own weapons

"Thanks. Still getting off this sad topic…" Ruby muttered sadly as she looked ahead down the alley way they found themselves in. Before straightening herself out and making her way off "Come on people, let's not waste any more time here. Let's get some answers!"

Not even a second later everyone else followed behind Ruby, ready to see where they could find some information. None of them at this time fully realize what insanity they were about to be walking into.

Mainly team RWBY though. For they had just been flung into a destiny they never thought could be. A destiny that would have them make friends, enemies and see worlds beyond their own imagination

.

And what a journey it would be…

And end!

Here we are and as you can see. Now were in the start of the actual adventure, hope you enjoyed how I did it and such. I somewhat stuck with what I did the last time of a fixer upper with these chapters on the old story at some parts. For those who know and remember you'll know. For those new altogether it doesn't have much impact here. Still let's go over a few parts now.

First as you noticed. Yeah, I gave the girls Pokemon and if you read back on chapter 0 during the childhood part of the prologue. It was hint there that the girls would get Pokemon. Now for why these picks, mainly because there some of my favs and I just found they would work for the girls. Ruby well because it's Ruby and she's has like two dogs by this point being Zewi and Clause so why not one canine. For Weiss mainly because I wanted to have at least one flying type in the team and also because it does have that dark knight sort of appearance, so it works out. Blake with hers because well I had a feeling she'd be good with a feline kind of Pokemon and once it's evolved, she'll have a kind of mount to ride into battle. While Yang I mean come on, it's Yang and you could totally see the little guy fitting with her well. Also I hope I got most of the info right when it comes to the Pokémon here and the expiation given to the girls. It's been a little bit for me.

Second as you read. The next six members of this odd outside group of allies to team RWBY and as you saw one of them might be a resurrected one along with a few others. Also as you noticed and as I wrote this out. This group consists of those of various individuals of various moral alignments. From Law Good, True Neutral and all the way to Chaotic Evil. Each one has now come together to fight against a threat bigger then any of them could imagine. So it will be fun to show off the rest of this group and show what they'll bring to the table when it comes to helping the team RWBY.

Third as you also read. I changed a few things when it came to the ever so mysterious voice that was with the girls from the start. Mainly one that the voice is a woman and apprentice to a KH character most of us know of and who was HK-97's pervious master. Who is this woman, well keep reading and one way or another you'll find out.

Fourth hope you enjoyed that little interaction between Xigbar and the girls of team RWBY. Secrets out, the spell is slowly going to start fading away now and Xigbar is one happy camper knowing he can get another chance to kill the girls now. But it won't be easy for him of course. Still, it will be fun to show what interactions will come up from this later on.

Fifth and last. I decided to do some add on's when it came to Traverse Town. Where everyone kind of separated after falling into the portal. Mainly I did this because I wanted to again add some more to the chapter and also because I wanted to show off some of the residents here. It's 62 right now, but is going to be about 63 at max. Which is WAY lower then what I had before. Trust me on that. But yeah, everyone in this town that is currently there. Have been there for a while now. So that's the main reason they're so comfortable around each other.

Alright so that all said. I just hope you enjoyed this end of the prologue chapters, and it will be a little bit before I post up the next chapter. Because I need to focus on two other stories of mine that I may have neglected focus on. But I will get back to this story as soon as I can.

So until then. I wish you all to have the best days ahead!
