AN: I swear, these long pauses are not happening on purpose. I just wanted to focus on the more major stuff for a bit, because I knew this wouldn't take too long to get done.
Ruby: Oh really? And just how long did it take you to finish this chapter?
AN: About...two days, tops. Give or take a minute. But either way, the wait is over, and the next installment of your favorite characters from Kingdom Hearts and RWBY bursting out into song is finally here, because today's update for SLVR Chibi is the second musical chapter of the series.
Sora: Do I get to sing this time?
AN: Yes, yes you do. And I'll be going over the choices of songs for this one in the ending note. For now though, shall we get our usual announcements out of the way, because it's just about time to raise the curtain on this show.

Chapter 10: Beacon School Musical 2
Knowing What I Know Now
The worst had happened. Shortly after arriving in Atlas and revealing the truth about Salem to him, General Ironwood had betrayed them, and now all of Mantle was about to pay the price. Sure, in the immediate aftermath, Teams RWBY, SLVR, JNPR, and their friends were not the most united force either, but they never intended for things to reach this kind of extreme. Now more than ever though, they needed to stand united. The only question was would they? Ruby had an idea on how to find that out, and judging by the look she just exchanged with Sora, he was having the same idea as her.
The sound of drums started going off as music rang through the air in tune with how Sora and Ruby were quickly shutting every window and door to the room they were currently in, getting everyone attention as the two stepped forward and Ruby began to sing.
"We've been deceived. Ironwood is not the man he claimed to be. He's more paranoid than we ever could've comprehended. When we made the choice to tell him and Penny became a maiden this is not what I expected, or intended, but now that it's happened I don't regret it.
'Cause now we've seen him show his true colors in shades of green. Saying that we're not safe because of Penny and…That's a lie, lie, lie! And I-I know that I can't do this on my own and…
If it's not us then who and when? If we don't fight he knows he wins. Not allowed! Knowing what I know now."
At this point Sora stepped forward with Keyblade in hand and added his own voice into the song. "The lengths he'll go there's no amount. I won't sit back watch this play out. That's my vow! Knowing what I know now."
One by one the doubt in the others' eyes slowly began to fade out, right up until Weiss stepped forward and raised her sword high as she joined the two leaders. "Get up, yeah! No I'm not the only one who's…"
"Yeah!" the others cheered.
"…Fed up."
"Yeah!"
Ventus rushed in and stamped on the ground as he declared, "Wait 'til they hear our feet go dun, dun, dun, dun."
"Yeah!"
"I don't think he's prepared for what's coming!" Blake sang along with a smile, even as she watched Lea climb up on a table and lead the next cheer.
"A revolution hit the ground runnin'!"
"If there's one thing he can't keep down," Yang started.
"Uh-huh."
"It's us and the strength we found," Ruby joined in with her sister before going solo again. "It's too loud."
"LOUD!"
"Knowing what we know now."
"Knowing what we know now," the others repeated after Ruby.
"And who…" Lea began as he helped some of the others put together a detailed layout of Atlas Academy. "Who knows if we'll succeed?"
"But we…!"
"Won't stop and we won't retreat," Roxas finished for the group. "Or turn round!"
"ROUND!"
"Knowing what we know now," Sora sang out to the heavens.
"Knowing what we…know now!"
At this point, Team JNPR, Aqua, Terra, and Xion all started prepping their weapons and gear in a very rhythmic manner, almost like they were drumming while the others began prepping for the upcoming fight with the general. All leading up to a moment when the previously mentioned eight took their turns to sing.
"Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
Hoo-ha-hoo-ha-hoo-ha.
Hoo-hoo-hoo."
"Can he tell what we're becomin'?" Jaune sang.
"Hear it in the way we're drummin'." Ren answered.
"I was sweet but now I'm something else," Pyrrha finished for the other two.
"Yah, yah, yah, yah!"
"Ain't it nice of us to drop in?" Nora started.
"To take what's the world's to take it back in," Xion finished.
"He thinks we're nothing," Terra added.
"But we're something else," Aqua finished.
"YAH!"
At the sound of a door opening everyone froze in place and turned to see Winter standing in the doorway. For a moment they all worried that the elder Schnee sister was here to stop them. Even Weiss could not help but look at her sister with concern. At least until Winter slammed the door behind her and started to join the song as well.
"I've seen too many bad things I can't keep count," Winter sang.
"He trusts…"
"One thing more than himself: his crown."
"Crown!"
"Knowing what I know now."
"Knowing what I know now."
"The good in him, I've watched it melt. I was fooled by the respect I felt. So profound! Knowing what I know…"
"I know," Ruby repeated.
"I know!" Sora repeated right after.
"We know now," everyone sang as one. "Knowing what we…know now!"
Right as the last drum beat sounded, Winter shot up in her bed with a start, and upon glancing around to see she was in her own bedroom and not some strange musical number taking place in the Schnee family dining room, she breathed a quick sigh of relief. "Phew! Just a bad dream. That could never actually happen," Winter sighed in relief, only for a strange sinking feeling to seep into her stomach. "Right?"
Only silence was her answer.
Friend Like Me
Teams SLVR, RWBY, and JNPR had just arrived in Agrabah and met with Sora's old friend the Genie, but they were still getting over the shock of seeing him given he had just been an old peddler man just a second ago. Now, he was a big blue being who had scooped up Sora and gone through a rather eccentric greeting, only to stop short when he learned he had missed out on Sora's third big adventure, but it still left a few things unanswered for the folks from Remnant.
"Just what the heck are you?" Nora asked on everyone's behalf.
"Seriously? I just told you guys. I'm a genie," Genie answered as simply as he could.
"…No seriously. What are you?" Blake asked. As much as she would like to believe an actual genie was in front of them, she was still somewhat skeptical. Not entirely of course, after all she was hanging out with Keyblade wielders, but just enough to be considered healthy.
Genie was about to shoot her a look when understanding seemed to dawn on him. "Oh, okay, I see what the author's doing here. Setting us up for my song, are we? Well then why didn't you all just say so," Genie realized. He then zapped backwards a bit and shot some magic at Jaune as he said, "You there! Gimme a beat!"
"Whoa! Hey!" Jaune exclaimed as a drum set materialized around him.
"Jaune!" Pyrrha gasped.
"Don't worry. He's fine," Sora assured the invincible girl, even as Jaune started banging out a catchy rhythm.
"Ladies and gents, or at least those of you who don't already know," Genie started as the music picked up and more instruments seemed to join in on Jaune's drumming. "Allow me to clarify just what it is you've just stumbled upon. Now sit back and ruminate while I illuminate the possibilities. This one is for you Robin!"
"Huh? Who's Robin?" Yang asked, only for everyone else to shrug in response until Genie suddenly came crashing down in front of them.
"Well, Ali Baba, he had them 40 thieves, Scheherazade had a thousand tales," Genie sang as several thieves burst out of his hands to surround the heroes.
"But, master, you're in luck, because up your sleeves you got a brand magic that never fails." Genie continued as he appeared in Ren's shirt and proceeded to beat down all the thieves and then reappearing behind them all at large size with massive muscles.
"You got some POWER in your corner now; heavy ammunition in your camp." Genie shouted while showing off his muscles before turning his hands into blasters that fire off powerful blasts to wipe out the remaining thieves. He then jumped into a lamp and grabbed Sora's hand to rub it as he continued, "You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo, and how! See all you gotta do is rub that lamp, and then I'll say…"
Genie then shot back out of the lamp to hover above them as he sang, "Mister Sora, sir, what will your pleasure be? Let me take your order, jot it down. You ain't never had a friend like me. Oh no, no!"
The gang then got zapped into a fancy restaurant setting with Genie splitting himself into several waiters, some of said duplicates even singing along on some points. "Life is your restaurant, and I'm your maitre d'! Come on, and whisper what it is you want. You ain't never had a friend like me!"
Suddenly, several of the Genies began catering and tailoring outfits, shaving, and other needs of the group, as they continued, though they all made sure to steer clear of Sora and Yang's hair. Apparently, they knew just how futile/dangerous that would be. "Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service." The next thing they knew, Sora was up on a throne with the others all gathered around to do various tasks. "You're the boss, the king, the shah!" Genie then appeared behind the throne as he offered a plate of something. "Say what you wish, it's yours! True dish. How about a little more baklava."
Two rows of clothes then appeared on either side, and none of them could resist grabbing something to try on, though they did do as Genie suggested in his song. "Have some of Column A, try all of Column B! I'm in the mood to help you, dude. You ain't never had a friend like me."
As soon as everyone was dressed up, they found themselves joining Genie in a fancy dance, along with large duplicates of his hands. "Wah-ah-ah," one hand sang.
"Oh my," Genie replied.
"Wah-ah-ah," the other hand repeated.
"No, no!" Genie shouted.
Both hands suddenly jumped down and joined Genie in dancing as they sang, "Wah-ah-ah."
"My, my, my," Genie continued. "Zebadabadoodah!"
"Can your friends do this?" Genie questioned as he proceeded to juggle several versions of his own head. "Can your friends do that?" Genie added before passing the heads over to Pyrrha, who juggled several on one hand, while spinning the other on her finger like a basketball. "Can your friends pull this outta their little hat?" Genie continued before pulling a giant bunny-version of himself out of a magician's hat before it transformed into a large dragon as Genie asked "Can your friends go poof!"
When Dragon-Genie breathed fire, no one was hurt, but all the girls did suddenly get changed into the dresses they wore to the dance, drawing blushes from several of the boys when they saw them. At least the ones who had some form of interest in any of the girls.
"Well looky here. Ha-ha!" Genie continued to sing as everyone started dancing along, though some of the boys were a bit slower to join in than the others, seeing as they couldn't take their eyes off some of the girls. "Can your friends go Abracadabra, let 'er rip! And then make a sucker disappear?!"
The girls' dresses all vanished in a puff of smoke, changing them back into their original outfits, and before they could process, the gang had turned to see a tiny Genie in front of them, adding a little animated show to what he sang next. "So don't 'cha sit there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed, I'm here to answer all your midday prayers." Genie then whipped out a diploma to show off to the group as he proclaimed, "You got me bona fide, certified! You got a genie for your chare d'affaires."
Genie then zapped over to Nora's side with a hand to his ear. "I got a powerful urge to help you out. So what's your wish? I really wanna know!" He then reached over and pulled out a long parchment from Sora's ear as he continued, "You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt. Well, all you gotta do is rub like so, and oh…
In a flash of light, Sora and Ruby ended up center stage, both of them dressed in fancy outfits very reminscient of the ones Sora had seen his friends Beast and Belle wearing once. Of course, Ruby's ball gown was in a brilliant shimmering red as opposed to yellow, while Sora's suit was also changed to better match the colors of his regular wardrobe, but either way, both of them blushed a bit at the sight of how nice the other one looked even as Genie continued his song.
"Mister Sora, sir, have a wish, or two, or three! I'm on the job, you big nabob." Genie then proceeded to fire off several magic beams around the entire group for a grand finale as he sang, transforming everyone into a fancy attire of their own, some of them reflecting that of the various princesses and princes that the Keybladers had met over the years. "You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend…You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend. You ain't never…Had a…FRIEND…LIKE…MEEEEEEEEE!"
All at once, Team JNPR and Ventus could be seen dancing around with several people from the Star Wars universe, all as Genie sang, "Ya-ha-ha!"
Weiss, Yang, Blake, Roxas, and Lea could be seen breaking it down on another part of the dance floor with some folks from Marvel, while Genie continued, "Wah-ha-ha!"
At last, Sora and Ruby joined in on the dancing fun for while it lasted, as several fireworks erupted into the air around them, making a small note of how some of Sora's friends from Radiant Garden had appeared to join them, all until Genie spun around to create a mini-tornado and finished, "You ain't never had a friend like me. HA!"
The next time Genie crashed down before them, all the extravagance of his song had disappeared, everyone was back in their original outfits, and a neon light saying "applause" was shinning over his head, prompting everyone to clap.
"That was…very bizarre," Weiss panted as she absent-mindedly clapped with the others.
"But fun! Can we do that again?" Ruby asked.
"Wait a minute. How's Sora supposed to make any wishes by rubbing a lamp if you don't have a lamp anymore?" Pyrrha suddenly realized.
"Eh, just switch the lamp part around with whatever he's using for summoning these days, and bada-bing, bada-boom, Genie Aid at your service," Genie answered, gaining a confirming nod from Sora right after.
I Won't Say I'm in Love
"Phew! Now that was a fun workout, am I right?" Yang cheered as she and Blake were making their way to the dorms.
"It was surprisingly relaxing," Blake admitted with a smile. "So, are we finally going to do some homework like you promised we would, or…?"
"Yeah, don't worry, Blakey. We'll get it all done in no time," Yang assured her. Her smile ended up disappearing really quickly when she noticed something not quite right. "Oh nuts! I left my books in the dorm. Go on ahead and I'll meet you in the library."
"Just make sure it's your books and not that silly board game again," Blake called after Yang. Even so, she could not help but smile as she watched her partner go, while a very particular kind of fondness slowly crept into her gaze. It was not until well after Yang had left when Blake realized what she was doing and gave herself a quick shake. "What's wrong with you, Belladonna? You should already know better about getting close to someone like that."
Blake then proceeded to wander about the courtyard, thinking that taking a little time to herself might help clear her head. She hardly even noticed she had started singing about this particular woe when she did though. "If there's a prize for rotten judgment," Blake sang, right when an image of Adam seemed to appear before her. She only groaned and sliced it down with her sword as she finished, "I guess I've already won that." She then pulled out a picture she had of her and Yang at the dance to gaze at while continuing. "No ship is worth the aggravation…"
At that moment, Ruby, Weiss, Nora, Pyrrha, and Aqua all suddenly appeared with knowing smiles on their faces, much to Blake's surprise, but she did not let it stop her for long or from trying to toss the picture away. "That's ancient history. Been there, done that."
"Who'd ya think you're kiddin'?" the five girls all harmonized, much to Blake's annoyance. "She's the Earth and heaven to you. Try to keep it hidden. Honey, we can see right through you."
"Oh nooooooo!"
"Girl, ya can't conceal it. We know how you're feel and who you're thinking of."
Nora then slid in as she waved the picture in front of Blake having caught it earlier, but Blake refused to take it, much to her frustration. "Oh, no chance. No way. I won't say it, no, no."
"You swoon, you sigh. Why deny it, uh-oh?"
"It's too cliché, I won't say I'm in love," Blake informed them, though the last part was almost at the point of a whisper. The other girls were not about to let it rest for long, so they immediately chased after Blake as she tried to shake them in the halls of the school.
"I thought my heart had learned its lesson," Blake could not help but reminisce as she caught sight of Roxas and Xion on a little date. She smiled a little at the sight of the two, her mind going back to simpler times. "It feels so good when you start out."
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh," the other five girls all sang as they slid in behind Blake.
"My head is screaming get a grip, girl!" Blake then griped as she recalled just what all ended those simpler times for her, only to notice the other five as she was. When she snapped a glare in their direction, they each quickly dropped into an unassuming position, acting like they were being so innocent, but Blake knew better. "Unless you're dying to cry your heart out."
When Blake turned away again, the girls immediately jumped back onto their little bandwagon. "You keep on denying, who you are and how you're feeling. Baby, we're not buying. Hon, we saw you hit the ceiling. Face it like a grown-up, when ya gonna own up that ya got, got, got it bad?!"
"Whoa!" Blake hummed as she tried to get away again, only to nearly run into someone when she was partway through her escape. "No chance, no way. I won't say it. No, no."
"Give up, give in," the girls sang, as Blake realized the person she ran into was an ice sculpture of Yang, created by Weiss's Semblance. Not that it kept her from smiling at the frozen replica of her partner.
"Check the grin, you're in love," Weiss sang as she pointed out the smile on Blake's face, reminding her of the audience she currently had.
"This scene won't play! I won't say I'm in love," Blake insisted.
"You're doin' flips read our lips you're in love," Ruby and the other four argued once more, still persistent in pressing the issue.
"You're way off base, I won't say it," Blake insisted. "Get off my case! I won't say it."
Ruby then slid in and placed Blake's picture back into her hand as she gently sang, "Hey, don't be proud. It's okay you're in love."
Hearing this from Ruby and seeing the picture again, along with how happy she and Yang looked in it, Blake could not help but smile a little and sing, "Oh, at least out loud…I won't say I'm in…love."
"Sha-la-la-la-la-la, Ah," the girls all harmonized with soft sighs as the song finished.
It was at that point a certain someone else made his presence known. "Uh what're you doing?"
"Ah!" Blake gasped, jumping up and turning around to find a not-so-happy-looking pyro standing behind her. "Oh, Lea! Hi…How-how long have you been standing there?"
"For the whole song," Lea nearly growled. "Don't think I missed how clearly you announced you're plans to try and put the moves on my girl."
Normally Blake would have instantly denied such an accusation, but this time, something in her prompted more fight than flight in response. "Excuse me, 'you're girl'?" Blake repeated with a snarl. "First off, her name is Yang. Secondly, that's my partner you're talking about, Mister."
"And your team leader's sister. You don't think there might be some issues there?" Lea pointed out. He then turned a little smug when he added, "Besides, I'm the one who's actually had some dates with Yang at this point. What've you got in your corner?"
"How about some serious and very emotionally heavy bonding moments. The kind of thing that goes beyond just simply hanging out and having a bit of fun, like what you normally do with her on those 'dates,'" Blake shot back.
Lea went from smug and right back to being angry again. "At least when I first talked to her I wasn't trying to not-so-subtly tell her to get lost so I could read in peace."
"It was still better than your cheesy attempt at a pick-up line. Seriously, do you have any idea how desperate it sounds telling someone to get it memorized?" Blake mocked, much to the other five girls' horror. Yeah, they had not left yet, but only because they wanted to make sure no one got too seriously hurt in this confrontation.
Lea could only gasp at the clear jab at his famous catchphrase, and growled, "Oh, so that's how it is, huh?"
"Looks that way to me," Blake challenged.
"Then this means war," Lea declared.
A second later, the two rivals in love had jumped at each other and commenced fighting in the midst of a large dust cloud, not unlike the ones that were kicked up whenever Qrow and Winter started going at it, prompting Aqua and Pyrrha to rush over to try and stop them. Seeing her friends start battling it out like this over her sister, Ruby could not help but think out loud, "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to encourage Blake like that."
"You think?" Weiss scoffed.
Nora did not say anything. She was too busy munching on a tub of popcorn she had gotten after the fighting had started.
Sun and Neptune: Junior Detectives
Thunder and lightning crashed loudly in the sky as the Junior Detectives all raced through the city, eager to take on any case they could find, all while the city sang their praises, or at least the praises of two particular members.
"Sometimes some crimes go slipping through the cracks.
But these two cool dudes are pickin' up the slack.
There's no case too big, no case too small. When you need help just call.
S-S-S-Sun and Neptune! Junior Detectives!
S-S-S-Sun and Neptune! They're protectin'!
No, no it never fails! Once they're involved somehow whatever's wrong gets solved!
Sun and Neptune can be seen diving head-first into danger, rescuing people, putting out fires, looking for clues, and catching criminals. All the while, Pyrrha and Nora come racing along behind them, stopping some other thieves until Xion is seen going over some papers at her desk before she jumps up and slashes at something with her Keyblade. Several bad guys' mug-shots are shown before the criminals themselves are seen doing something dastardly, only for the agency to come racing onto the scene.
"Fresh prints (fresh prints) not since (not since) Dawson and Mister Basil
Have two minds (two minds) so fine (so fine) stopped every criminal.
When you need some help to save the day, they're never far away.
S-S-S-Sun and Neptune! Junior Detectives!
S-S-S-Sun and Neptune! They're protectin'!
No, no it never fails! Once they're involved somehow whatever's wrong gets solved!
The girls all drop down on the scene right when the boys are about to be ambushed by some thugs, before the scene shifts to show Sun catching Xion after she had been shoved over a ledge by Torchwick. Neptune is then seen jumping out from behind cover, firing his weapon at something off-screen as he did, with Pyrrha following him shortly after.
"Grey skies, it's trouble. Bad guys see double.
When they're around the chips are never down.
S-S-S-Sun and Neptune! Junior Detectives!
S-S-S-Sun and Neptune! They're protectin'!
No, no, it never fails! They'll take the clues and find the wheres and whys and whos.
S-S-S-Sun and Neptune! Junior Detectives!
S-S-S-Sun and Neptune! They're protectin'!
S-S-S-Sun and Neptune!
"Okay! I've seen enough," Xion suddenly interrupted, prompting the camera to zoom out to reveal everything just seen and heard was being displayed on a TV screen, which Sun and Neptune themselves were standing on either side of, while the girls of the Junior Detective Agency were all seated in front of it. None of the latter three looked very amused by what they just watched.
"What? What's the matter?" Sun asked.
Xion needed to take a deep breath before she responded, if only to make sure she did not immediately jump right into yelling at anyone. "I asked you guys to come up with a new way to advertise the Junior Detective Agency, and this is what you got?"
"What's wrong with it? I'd say it's pretty good advertising for us," Neptune defended.
"Um, Neptune, it might show all of us, but the song typically mentions just the two of you. It never says anything about the rest of us," Pyrrha pointed out.
"Yeah! What do you think we are? Some type of sorry side-characters in a cartoon?!" Nora demanded angrily.
"Nora, down! No need to be bringing out the hammer. At least not yet," Xion chastised.
"Hey, it makes sense to me. This whole agency wouldn't even be a thing without us! WE'RE the original Junior Detectives, ya know. Why shouldn't people be more familiar with us?" Sun reminded them.
"Because we're advertising the whole agency. Not just you two. This isn't one of Neptune's stupid dating service apps ya know," Xion snapped.
"What?! I-I don't have a dating service app! I don't know what you're talking about!" Neptune immediately denied. Of course, all of them still heard him muttering under his breath, "How did she find out?"
Sun just shook his head at his partner's silliness and was about to get them back on track when he noticed something he could not help but ask about. "Wait a minute, if this is just a meeting to discuss our marketing strategies then why is Yang here?"
This prompted everyone else to turn over to where Sun had looked and find that sure enough, Yang was in fact sitting right there in the audience with the girls of the agency. Though she seemed pretty confused as to the reason behind her presence here as the rest of them, she still raised a hand and greeted them saying, "'Sup?"
"What…How long have you been here?" Xion asked, having never noticed when Yang came into the room.
"Since Nora pulled me in while I was heading to my dorm. I just wanted to get some stuff I needed for a study date with Blake," Yang explained.
Turning over to the bruiser of Team JNPR, everyone watched Nora simply shrug and said, "What? I figured we could benefit from having a civilian consultant on this. I mean, it's not like we were going to go around asking people if they'd seen our commercial everywhere we went ya know."
"And you couldn't just ask Yang? You just had to snatch her up like one of the criminal kidnappers we're supposed to be trying to stop?" Xion pointed out.
"Um…Can I leave now?" Yang interrupted before the argument got too serious. "Seriously, I told Blake I would meet her in the library in a few minutes."
"Yeah, yeah, sure Yang," Xion waved off, letting the blonde depart right when the Junior Detectives all started going at it in their latest argument.
As she left them to their devices, Yang could not help but hum the little tune she had just heard. "Oh great. First Ruby's little 'Crimson Rose' tune and now I've got this song stuck in my head."
AN: Ah! That was fun. So, I know there weren't any song requests done here, but I just really wanted to get all of these out of the way before diving into the requests. If you do have a song request you'd like to see, just remember the rules for doing so:
1) Mention the song title in your review and which characters you'd like to see perform it. 2) It MUST be a Disney song. No other songs will be selected. As you can see, theme songs from Disney shows are acceptable. And 3) Please give a reason as to why you think the character(s) you chose would sing this song. Don't assume I'm going to understand your reasoning just because you think it's obvious. I mean, if you say you want all the students or someone to be part of a rendition of something like say "I'll Make a Man Out of You", then it would be obvious, but just to be safe...
Now then, let's talk today's choices of tunes.
Weiss: Why do I feel like you could see something like the first one happening to us in Volume 8 regardless of the involvement of this story or otherwise?
AN: Because you'd be right. Honestly, I really liked the movie Wish, and it's got some really great songs. "Knowing What I Know Now" being one of them, and I just couldn't help but think about how it seemed to talk about how things were going for Ruby's Group in Volume 8 once all the rifts were healed and such. Obviously we couldn't actually push forward with it in here, so that's why the whole thing was just a dream sequence for Winter. But really, you guys gotta admit, it was very fitting.
Now, the second one...well, who doesn't love the song "Friend Like Me"?
Sora: And you had Genie mention Robin Williams before he started too. That was a nice touch.
AN: Thank you, and I certainly hope all of our readers got that. Obviously none of the main cast would understand who Genie was talking about in the story itself, but so long as we all know...Anyways, you could also consider that one as something of a deleted scene from the main story of Remnant of the Key. I had this whole thing in mind where Genie would've told Sora he owes him some wishes that would've lead into the song, but obviously, it didn't make the final cut. Especially since I really wanted to focus in on the main, major story points of that chapter. This was a nice little middle ground for it though.
Roxas: Too bad it doesn't look like a couple of someone else's are going to be finding much middle ground after that third song.
AN: Yeah, honestly, I'm a little surprised no one's done that song for Blake by now. I mean, I get that Weiss is probably the first pick for a song like "I Won't Say I'm in Love", but Blake just seems to fit it much better. She actually has been burned real bad by a past relationship, and she's hesitant to try and pursue something new with anyone, hence why it took so long for her to even consider so much as dating Sun, let alone admitting her feelings to Yang. And this may or may not be the our own fun little way of showcasing the rivalry of Bmblb vs Eternalflame. Hey, just because we can't really do it in the main story, doesn't mean we can't have some fun with it here, right? Expect a few skits that will reflect this in the future.
Ventus: Speaking of...they haven't stopped fighting.
Everyone: [looks to see Blake and Lea are still wrestling each other in the dust cloud]
Sora: Um...Should one of us maybe...you know, stop them?
Weiss: Don't look at me.
Roxas: Mm-mm. I'm not going anywhere near that.
AN: We'll...come back to this issue later. Finally, the last song of the day is another parody on the theme of a Disney Channel Classic: Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers, starring Sun and Neptune. Yeah, I don't think Xion's going to be approving this commercial pitch any time soon, do you? And look at that, the trend of Yang happening upon stuff right in the midst of things has now continued. For her sake, I hope the next time doesn't cause another song to get stuck in her head.
Yang: I feel like it will. For all I know, the next time this happens, you'll get a parody of the theme from Ducktales stuck in my head.
AN: Yeah, you're probably right. Oh well! Nothing we can do about it until it happens. For now, I'd say this wraps things up. Let's answer a review or two before we call it a show, shall we?
Firstly, "1800009trumbullps . net", don't worry. I'll get around to updating my other stuff when I can. As for DeivantArt related stuff, it's not that I don't want to update that, it's just that I don't have much to update it with right now. Maybe one or two of my attempts of recreating certain scenes in my stories later on, but for now...you'll just have to wait and see. And I do thank you for your patience in both regards.
"SuperSayainFever", did not expect someone to actually try and push for getting Neo into a relationship with Roxas and Xion, but I do appreciate the support of it all the same. Plus, who says Cinder would need Neo to sneak into Atlas in this series? Hm? Just because Neo won't be with Cinder, doesn't mean she won't still find a way. Or rather, the way will find her, along with a new road for her to explore.
Ruby: Why does that make me nervous?
AN: Maybe because the statement alone is pretty ominous, never mind what it promises.
"Dragon Rider 66", I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss that train of thought if I were you. You never know, it could develop into something. After all, every good writer should try to challenge themselves in way or another every so often, lest his skills and material grows stale, predictable, and boring. Yeah, I'm definitely going to try and work the whole Justice League crossover into here when we get there, but it may unfold slightly differently in comparison to the version we got. I mean, not entirely different, but some factors will definitely be changing when we reach that point. Which, you know, is around RWBY Volume 7 at least. Regarding your comments on the matter of Cinder and Maleficent...I cannot comment on that. Not without giving away spoilers. As for seeing other counterparts like with the various Soras in our multiverse story...yeah, we may or may be exploring that in some way later on, but how it happens may be slightly different than what's going on with "Too Many Soras".
Sorry for not getting your song request in here, but I do kinda like the idea. I will have to keep it in mind for a future Musical chapter.
"Guest" of 10/31/23, who actually asked the big question about the future for Neo, Roxas, and Xion, yeah, I totally made Neo bisexual here. Just to be clear, the idea had come into my head well before the novel about her history with Roman had come out, so nobody get my case for this please. And since you also straight up asked the question, I might as well clarify on my ideas for making that happen. Honestly, the idea of getting those three all in a relationship with each other started out as just a joke, but...well, you never know what the future may hold.
"Silverwolf", yeah, I'm still brainstorming ideas for a dream skit, but it will eventually happen. I feel like at this point it's kind of expected for every RWBY Chibi fanfiction to have at least one of those.
"TheRedeemer1995", you know, if it weren't for the fact the whole RWBYxJustice League crossover was considered canon adjacent, I think I could totally see them going the Phantom Zone route for dealing with Salem. Assuming of course Superman has the projector in that continuity. I think I've seen at least one or two where he either doesn't have the projector or he just destroys it to keep guys like Zod from breaking out. In this case though, it definitely wouldn't work here, but the whole reasons for why it wouldn't won't be revealed until much later on in Remnant of the Key.
Well, I'd say that wraps everything up. Now, if you'll all excuse us, we've gotta go stop Lea and Blake before their fighting has any serious consequences. Until then...
Once again, be sure to check out my YouTube channel "Studio Fandom" and the DeviantArt page "studiofandom" if you haven't already. Always looking for more followers and subscribers on both. And as always...
Please read and review, and I'll see you next time for some more Chibi fun!
Okay, everyone gear up. It's gonna take a lot to stop those two from fighting each other, especially when they're fighting over Yang.
