Author's Note: I've taken the liberty of altering a few past chapters regarding the audience's reaction to the deaths of several villains. As pointed out by several reviewers, I overdid it and made the heroes look spiteful by celebrating them so much. I apologize for this, and I've downplayed it greatly with this update.
In the meantime, the poll for the Horror film is open with this update. Choose carefully.
Review Responses
Guest, Jun 21st- Indeed. Plus, Jack Sparrow is more of an anti-hero but not exactly a villain. Qrow has at least one anti-hero quality he shares with jack: alcoholism. Roman, on the other hand, is a flat-out villain.
Soviet commander: I agree. Such a classic horror movie would make a good adaptation. I will probably have Freddy Krueger play himself if "A Nightmare on Elm Street" wins the vote. I feel that will add to the horror factor if nobody in the RWBY cast plays him.
Jones man: That's a good idea. Two goofballs in over their heads and almost getting killed by a huge shark. Also, it would increase the scare factor for the audience if Jason, Michael, or Freddy were played by themselves instead of RWBY characters.
Farmer Abe: Your complaint is justified. Your review wasn't the first one pointing out the uncharacteristically spiteful reaction the heroes have had towards the deaths of several villains. I've decided to edit these chapters, because as you said, it's not in character for them and I don't want to ruin anyone's enjoyment in reading this story.
Gamelover41592: A very pleasant surprise knowing their daughter is alive. In fact, everyone will be relieved to learn this.
ultima-owner: That's a good point. Being primates, monkeys can be trained to do just about anything.
JC of the corn: Lol. You're absolutely right. Originally Harrison Ford was supposed to fight the swordsman with his whip instead. But, for health reasons, that didn't happen. But perhaps simply shooting the guy was better and made the scene more memorable. I laughed my ass off when I first saw it.
Inspiration: Raiders of the Lost Ark
Disclaimer: The following is a non-profit story for entertainment purposes only. "RWBY" is the property of director and animator Monty Oum (RIP) and production company Rooster Teeth, and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is the property of director Steven Spielberg, production company Lucasfilm Ltd., and distributed by Paramount Pictures.
Open to a huge dig-site at Tanis. Excavation platforms and digging equipment were everywhere. There were hundreds of Vacuan workers laboring under the hot sun while White Fang soldiers supervised with weapons at the ready to maintain order.
The audience marveled at the size of the work force and the dig site while sympathizing with the Vacuan workers forced into labor. The fact that all of them were humans only increased their anger at the White Fang's racist desire to enslave humanity. It looked like Adam Taurus' dream come true.
Cinder Fall strolled through the dig site while holding a map scroll. Trailing her was Colonel Adam Taurus and his second-in-command, Major Sienna Khan, both in military garb.
Everyone scowled at Cinder and Adam onscreen. Yang, Blake, and Taiyang even emitted low growls to see the White Fang leader again.
"I told you not to be premature in your communique to Mistral," Cinder scolded Adam as she grabbed a rock from a worker's wheelbarrow to examine. "Archeology is not an exact science. It does not deal in time schedules."
"Salem is not a patient woman," Adam replied with equal impatience. "She demands constant reports, and she expects progress."
"Of course Salem would be impatient to get her hands on the Ark," Ozpin said, knowing his arch enemy was mortal in this universe.
"It's very ironic they recruited a human to help them take over the world," Saphron pointed out.
"They're trying to take over the world, so they must be willing to do anything to accomplish their goal," Jaune explained to his sister.
"You led me to believe-" Adam began angrily.
"Nothing! I made no promises!" Cinder cut off the impatient colonel. "I only said it looked very favorable."
"Besides, with the information in our possession, my calculations were correct," Cinder assured.
"That's what you think," Ruby said with a smirk, remembering the White Fang was digging in the wrong place.
"She probably thinks Sun is dead. Hopefully he remains on her blind side," Weiss added as she sipped a glass of water.
Meanwhile, Sun and Pietro headed towards the map room while disguised as workers. All around them the Vacuan workers were breaking their backs.
"Good thing they were able to find disguises," Qrow noted given the fact Cinder was also present at the dig site.
"Boy, they're not kidding, are they?" Sun remarked about the size of the labor force the White Fang had searching for the Ark.
"What time does the sun hit the map room?" Sun asked Pietro.
"At about 9:00 in the morning."
"Not much time, then."
"So, the Ark's location can only be determined at a certain time by the sun," Oscar observed, now understanding the use for the medallion.
"Wise move, given how powerful the four seasons are rumored to be," Ozpin noted, knowing such precautions were necessary to keep the Ark out of the wrong hands.
"Where are they digging for the Well of the Souls?" Sun asked.
"On that ridge... but the map room's over there," Pietro answered, pointing in each respective direction.
"Let's go, come on," Sun urged Pietro, knowing now that time was short.
Sun and Pietro ascended a short hill on the far edge of the dig site. The hill was enclosed by a short, barbed wire fence and jutting out was a meter wide hole rimmed with stone.
Sun and Pietro both carefully stepped over the fence while carrying wooden staff and a rope respectively.
Sun gave a look around the dig site to make sure nobody was watching before inconspicuously dropping the staff and rope down the hole.
With Pietro's help, Sun carefully shimmied down the rope into the map room. It was a beautiful and spacious chamber with walls covered by carvings and frescoes. At the far end was a miniature stone replica of the ancient city of Tanis. A beam of sunlight from the skylight flooded the room with a stream of light.
Sun approached the model of the city as he carefully observed the map room.
Everyone looked impressed by the size and detail of the model of the city of Tanis, acknowledging the building skills of the ancient Vacuans.
"There's so many places the Well of Souls could be," Saphron noted as she observed the size of Tanis.
"Even if the White Fang dug up the entire city of Tanis, it would take them years to find the Ark without the medallion," Velvet added.
Up above, Pietro waited for Sun to exit the map room. Unfortunately, a pair of White Fang soldiers had spotted him and approached.
"Hey you there! What are you doing there?" one of them shouted.
"What's with that rope there?" the other asked suspiciously.
Pietro simply gestured his innocence.
"Uh-oh," Ilia muttered.
"If they find out Sun is down there…" Blake fretted, knowing the fate of Remnant rested in Sun's hands.
"This is a restricted area! Come down, now!" the first soldier demanded.
Pietro complied, knowing he'd give away Sun's position if he refused. He stepped over the barbed wire with the rope still in hand.
"Come on, now! Let's go!" the second guard ordered as he yanked Pietro away, sending him tumbling briefly down the hill.
Back in the map room, Sun used a brush to sweep off some sand off a scrawling of ancient Vacuan hieroglyphics. He took out a small notebook from his pocket to translate the writings and determine how the staff had to be positioned.
Smiling, he looked back at the skylight, now shining bright as the sun positioned nearly itself in the center of it, signifying it was almost time.
Outside, Pietro nervously stood next to a jeep. He couldn't help Sun without giving themselves away.
"He's not going to leave him down there, is he?" Neptune asked with concern.
"Nah. He just has to find another way to get him out," Yang assured with a slight wave.
Sun took out Blake's medallion and carefully placed it on the staff. As instructed by the hieroglyphics, he set the base of the shaft into the correct hole on the baseline.
"I hope this works," Sun said as he crossed his fingers, hoping the instructions on locating the Ark were correct.
The sunlight slowly crept the wall. Then the model city. And then it caught the top of the headpiece. As the ray of sunlight shined through, it was magnified and sent a tiny beam of brilliant orange light toward one building in the miniature city.
The focused light caused an intense glow to flood the entire chamber. It illuminated Sun's ecstatic face. It marked the proper location of the Well of the Souls. As deducted earlier, it was a different spot from where the White Fang was digging.
The audience's faces matched Sun's onscreen as they looked on, mesmerized by the bright, dazzling display of light the Staff of Light.
"Wow," Weiss whispered in amazement.
"That was so awesome!" Nora praised the scene as she bounced in her seat.
Pietro jogged through the camp. He saluted a White Fang soldier he passed before entering a tent.
In the map room, Sun wiped sweat from his forehead in the heat of the chamber before jotting down a note in his book.
Finished with his work, Sun snapped the staff in half and gazed up at the hole in the ceiling.
"Smart move breaking the staff so the White Fang can't use it," Maria complimented Sun's cautious thinking.
"Pietro!" Sun called up at the hole, but there was no answer.
In response, Pietro threw down a makeshift rope made from multiple cloths tied together which landed on Sun's head. The end of the rope was made from a White Fang flag to Sun's surprise.
"Pietro didn't ditch him. He just got a little tied up," Taiyang joked, eliciting groans from everyone except for Yang, who high fived her father.
Back on the surface, Sun and Pietro walked past a table full of White Fang soldiers eating lunch.
One of the soldiers stood up. "We need water! More water!" he demanded.
Another soldier grabbed Sun by the arm. "We're thirsty! Now bring us some damn water, you bastard!" he ordered.
Ghira leered at the screen. "Of course. The slaves do all the work while they stuff their faces," he sneered while Kali nodded in agreement with a glare of her own.
"Yeah. Get off your lazy asses and get your own water," Yang shouted angrily.
"Please, my friend, what is the matter?" Pietro placated the complaining soldier, prompting him to release Sun.
"I'll fetch the water. I shall get it for you," Pietro assured. "If you want water, I will get you water. No problem, no problem."
As Pietro calmed the soldier down, Sun snuck into a nearby tent.
Much to his surprise, he discovered Blake alive and well. She was gagged and tied to a tent post.
Gasps of surprise and relief echoed throughout the theater. Kali and Ghira were especially grateful in to see Blake had survived. "She's alive! Thank the brothers!" Kali said while hugging Ghira.
"You were right, Neptune," Sun said to his partner in regard to the baskets being switched.
"Looks like Blake is a little tied up as well," Yang joked, prompting groans from everyone.
"Hey! Make your own puns," Taiyang scolded his daughter.
Overjoyed, Sun rushed over to hug Blake and pulled off his veil to show his face. Blake gave him a relieved smile despite the gag pulled across her mouth.
"I thought you were dead. They must have switched baskets," Sun said as he removed Blake's gag and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips.
Multiple audience members cooed or whooped at the kiss onscreen. Kali put a hand to her cheek in happiness for her daughter while Ghira
Velvet looked away with a hint of jealousy, though she was still happy for the onscreen couple. Coco noticed this and patted her partner's head.
Ilia also looked a little jealous, but was nevertheless happy for Blake.
"Are you hurt?" Sun asked with concern.
"No. You have to get me out of here, quick. They're gonna be back at any minute. "Cut me loose. Quick," Blake urged.
Sun took out a pocketknife and prepared to sever Blake's bindings.
"They keep asking about you. What you know," Blake informed.
Sun paused in mid-cut and slowly folded the blade back as a look of concern crossed his face.
"What's he doing?" Ghira asked with a hint of anger.
"He's not going to leave her there, is he?" Kali asked worriedly.
"Actually... that might be the smart thing to do," Jaune said, attracting confused looks from everyone else.
"What's wrong?" Blake asked as she struggled against her constraints. "Cut me loose."
Sun shot a dead-serious look at Blake "I know where the Ark is, Blake," he stated.
"The Ark's here?" she asked in surprise. "I'm coming with you, Wukong. Get me out of here! Cut me loose! You can't leave me here!"
"If I take you out of here now, they'll start combing the place for us," Sun reasoned reluctantly.
"That's right. Freeing Blake right away would be unwise," Ren agreed with his leader and Sun's counterpart.
"And Cinder will undoubtedly know Sun is responsible," Ilia added, knowing Sun was likely presumed dead by Cinder and her allies.
Ghira let out a low growl but calmed himself, knowing Sun was making the smart choice.
"Wukong, you've got to get me out of here!" Blake protested as Sun put her gag back on. "Come on, Wukong, are you crazy?!"
"Blake, I hate to do this, but if you don't sit still and keep quiet, or this whole thing is going to be shot," Sun said, knowing he couldn't take any serious risks given the situation.
Blake and her parents looked discomforted but silently conceded Sun's point in keeping her tied up. There was simply too much at stake to set her free.
"I'll be back to get you," Sun promised as he kissed Blake's forehead and hurried out of the tent.
"Wukong, what's the matter?!" Blake asked in a muffled voice.
Back outside, Sun was gazing through a theodolite atop a hill. Through the lens, his gaze swept over the dig site until he stopped on a patch of undisturbed soil on a nearby hill.
"That's it," he deducted the Well of Soul's location.
"He's one step closer," Blake said, admiring Sun's progress and determination.
Elsewhere, Cinder continued her stroll through the dig site with Adam and Sienna trailing her.
"Who knows? Perhaps the Ark is still waiting in some antechamber for us to discover. Perhaps there's some vital bit of evidence which eludes us," Cinder theorized correctly.
"Perhaps the girl can help us," Sienna suggested, prompting Cinder to shoot her an angry look.
Adam nodded "My feeling exactly," he agreed.
"So that's why they kept her alive," Taiyang said in realization.
"She was in possession of the original piece for years. She may know much… if properly motivated," Adam proposed while gazing at something offscreen.
"I tell you; the girl knows nothing," Cinder insisted.
Blinks and looks of puzzlement swept over the audience at Cinder's uncharacteristic concern for Blake. It was a stark contrast from the power-hungry, sociopath they knew only too well.
"That's not like Cinder at all," Ruby noted with an arched eyebrow.
"She's less villainous than the real deal was," Yang agreed as she sipped a soda.
Weiss held up a cautious hand. "Let's not jump to conclusions. We still don't know her true intentions," she said, believing Cinder had her own selfish reasons for protecting Blake.
"I'm surprised to find you squeamish. That is not your reputation," Adam remarked. "But it needn't concern you. I have the perfect man for this kind of work."
Just then, Tyrion Callows approached the trio, stopped, and held up his hand, exposing the medallion imprint scarred and imprinted on his hand from the bar fight back in Mantle. "Hail Salem," he said with a smile.
Everyone groaned or cringed in disgust at the gruesome scar on Tyrion's palm. But, at the same time, it explained how the White Fang got a copy of the medallion.
"We did not need to see that," Nora said as she set down her plate of pancakes in disgust.
"He better not lay a finger on my baby girl again!" Kali hissed protectively while Ghira nodded with a scowl.
Elsewhere, Sun and Pietro led a group of workers carrying digging equipment towards the true location of the Well of Souls.
"I'm guessing they'll have a lot of digging to do," Sun assumed.
Neptune nodded "Let's hope you don't get spotted," he added.
Sun climbed atop a hill overlooking the White Fang dig site. He crouched down to examine the ground. After a few moments, he whistled for the others to join him.
Pietro and the other workers climbed the hill. The music hit a crescendo as Sun and his companions began to dig.
Hours passed to a bright yellow sunset as the workers sang while digging. Sun's silhouette was seen shedding his disguise and putting on his fedora while the wind began to howl.
Finally, by nightfall, a huge, swirling, ominous storm cloud had appeared in the sky and lightning began to flash. Sun gazed at the darkened sky nervously.
The storm clouds made everyone shiver in apprehension. It was as if the Brother God's themselves are angered by the intrusive digging
"Those are no ordinary storm clouds," Oscar said nervously.
"You're right. I wonder if the Brothers will intercede somehow," Ozpin pondered in concern for Sun's counterpart.
"Sunny! Here! We've hit stone!" Pietro beckoned offscreen.
Sun rushed over to the center of the dig site. He knelt and brushed off a layer of dirt, exposing smooth, flat stone.
"Clear it off," Sun ordered the workers. "Come on, find the edges."
The workers complied and began to hastily brush off the dirt covering the stone to find the edges. As they did so, the storm intensified.
Soon, the edges of the stone hatch were uncovered.
"Good, good, good," Pietro praised the workers. "You see, Sunny? You see?"
"Okay, bring the pry bars in," Sun commanded as a bolt of light streaked across the sky behind him.
"As a team, boys! As a team! Push!" Pietro ordered as he and the workers jammed long crowbars under the heavy stone slab.
"Get 'em in there. Get 'em under," Sun hollered. "Good, good, that's it. Watch your toes."
Finally, the workers grunted with effort as they pried off the heavy stone slab. A gust of smoked hissed of the freshly opened chamber that had been sealed off for nearly a thousand years.
"What's with that smoke coming out of the hole?" Nora asked while pointing at the screen.
"It's actually a vacuum of air rushing inside because the chamber has been sealed off for so long," Maria explained, having ventured into long closed off ruins in her younger days.
"Carefully, carefully!" Pietro shouted while Sun looked on in excitement as the chamber was opened up.
Finally, the heavy stone slab was completely removed. The rectangular hole it covered opened into the Well of Souls.
Sun and Pietro knelt at the edge of the hole and looked down. A lightning flash illuminated a large, frightful looking statue of a dragon.
"Eep!" Ruby, Jaune, Velvet, and Oscar all squeaked with fright at the sight of the statue laughter.
Coco laughed "Relax. It's only a statue," she said.
Pietro gasped and recoiled with fright at the sight of the statue.
"Sorry, Sunny," Pietro said meekly.
"Now they just have to find the Ark and scram before the White Fang gets wise to them," Neptune said with pride for his partner.
"Something tells me that'll be easier said than done," Taiyang predicted, expecting the Well of Souls to be filled with booby traps like the Hovito temple in the beginning.
Blake squinted her eyes. "Wait…what's that covering the floor?" she asked, noticing something on the chamber floor.
"Sunny. Why does the floor move?" Pietro asked in puzzlement, noticing movement inside.
"Give me your torch," Sun requested and Pietro complied.
Sun dropped the torch, sending it falling thirty straight down into the chamber, partially illuminating it. Covering the entire floor as a blanket of snakes. Thousands of deadly, venomous, Vacuan Asps hissing and slithering across the chamber floor.
Sun rolled onto his back. "Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?" he said in exasperation while Pietro examined the snakes.
"It's like his worst nightmare just came true," Velvet said in a low voice as she shuddered at the sight of so many snakes.
"That's even worse than the traps in the Hovito temple," Saphron said as she rubbed her arm in discomfort.
"How did they even survive down there?" Weiss wondered aloud, knowing there was no way the snakes could survive inside the chamber for centuries.
"Perhaps they got in another way," Maria suggested, believing there must have been another unknown way into the well of souls.
"Asps. Very dangerous," Pietro noted tapping Sun on the shoulder. "You go first."
Sun shot Pietro an "Are you kidding me?" look.
A few people laughed at that while Sun rolled his eyes. "Oh sure. Why not?" he deadpanned.
Back at the dig site, Blake was still tied up inside the tent. Cinder and a Vacuan worker entered the tent, the former carrying a tray of food and water which he set on the table.
Cinder cut Blake's bindings and removed her gag. Almost immediately, Blake tried to make a break for it, but a White Fang soldier blocked her path.
"If you're trying to escape on foot, the desert is three weeks in every direction, so please, eat something," Cinder informed.
"So, it wouldn't make a difference if Sun released her and she ran off," Kali sighed in realization her daughter was essentially stranded.
Ruby eyed Cinder's counterpart with suspicion. "What are you planning to do with Blake?" she whispered.
With no other options, the famished Blake approached the table and began to eat.
"I must apologize for their treatment of you," Cinder said.
"Yeah. Whose idea was it? No food, no water. What kind of people are these friends of yours?" Blake asked angrily with her mouth full as she took a sip of water.
"What else would you expect from the White Fang?" Weiss reasoned.
"At this particular time and place, to do my work, they are necessary evils," Cinder replied as she picked up a box in the corner of the tent.
Jaune put a hand to his chin. "Something really tells me Cinder's 'wanting to talk to the brothers' motive is a load of bull," he voice his opinion.
Everybody else nodded in agreement, believing Cinder's true intentions were probably much more sinister.
"They're not my friends. However, with the right connections, even in this part of the world, we are not entirely uncivilized," Cinder explained as she sat down in front of Blake and removed a fancy white dress from the box.
"It's beautiful," Blake commented on the garment in Cinder's hands.
"I would very much like to see you in it," Cinder said alluringly.
Blake blushed and averted her gaze. "I'll bet you would."
Sun's jaw dropped. "Wait...Cinder is a lesbian here?!" he said in surprise.
Coco, Saphron, and Ilia all shot glares at Sun. "And what's wrong with that?" Coco asked defensively.
"Nothing. It's just the thought of someone like Cinder attracted to Blake...or anyone for that matter..." Sun reasoned, unable to finish his sentence.
Seeing his point, everyone shuddered or grimaced at the mere thought of someone so evil lusting after them. Blake's jaw dropped in outright disgust (1).
"All right," Blake complied as she pulled the dress out of the box and over her.
Cinder nodded in approval and handed Blake a pair of white, high heels.
"Be careful, Blake. Cinder's just trying to butter you up for information," Yang warned, remembering how Cinder played the Hovitos like fiddles earlier in the film.
"I know...but my counterpart doesn't know Cinder like Sun does," Blake replied, realizing Cinder was playing her to gain information.
"What do you got to drink around here?" Blake asked as she walked behind a curtain to change into the dress and shoes.
"We don't have much time. Soon they will come to harm you, and I will not be able to stop them, unless you are able to give me something to placate them," Cinder warned.
"Some…uh…piece of information... which I can use to protect you from them," Cinder said as she slyly watched Blake change through a small mirror, her bare back exposed.
"Boys. If anything graphic is shown, you'd better look away or you'll have to answer to me!" Ghira declared loudly with a deep scowl.
Every other male audience member nodded quickly, not wanting to invoke Ghira's paternal wrath.
Coco and Ilia briefly ogled Blake before looking away out of respect while the others narrowed their eyes at Cinder's counterpart for peeping on Blake.
Blake stepped out in her new outfit. "I've already told you everything I know," she claimed. "I have no loyalty to Wukong. He's brought me nothing but trouble."
"Unfortunately...she's right," Sun admitted, having abandoned Blake for a decade, accidentally burned down her bar and gotten her captured by the White Fang.
Blake stepped into the light and did a twirl to show off her new look.
"Blake, you are beautiful," Cinder praised in a soft voice.
"I'll say," Coco admired, wishing she had a dress like Blake's counterpart.
"It reminds me of the dance back at Beacon," Weiss said wistfully.
Kali and Ghira both smiled warmly at how beautiful their daughter looked while Saphron was fondly reminded of how Terra looked on their wedding day.
Blake smiled, appreciating the flattery as she tossed her old red pants over the dinner knife on the table. "I don't think we need a chaperon," she said as she picked up a bottle of Vodka.
Yang smiled and nodded in understanding, realizing what Blake was planning, even if it was a risky movie.
Kali and Ghira also caught on to their daughter's plan. "That's our girl," Kali said with a smile.
Back at the Well of Souls, Pietro and his workers were lowering Sun into the chamber via rope.
"Steadily. Steadily," Pietro instructed his men. "Down...Carefully, carefully!"
"Why are all those snakes gathered down there anyway?" Ruby wondered aloud.
"Maybe the Ark attracts them somehow," Ren theorized, remembering Pietro's claim that the Ark "was not of this world".
Down in the chamber, more torches had been tossed down to clear a small part of the floor for Sun to rappel down onto.
"That doesn't make any sense. Wouldn't the heat from the torches attract the snakes," Blake pointed out, knowing snakes were cold-blooded. (2)
"You all right, Sunny?" Pietro asked, well-aware of Sun's ophidiophobia.
Sun wordlessly glanced up at Pietro with a very wary expression as he edged closer and closer to the ground.
"Do I look all right to you?" Sun scoffed at Pietro's ridiculous question.
"You look like you're about to wet yourself," Qrow chuckled as he took a swig from his flask.
"I don't blame him" Velvet sympathized while looking nervous herself.
"Now gently, boys. Gently, gently..." Pietro told his men.
Suddenly, the workers lost their grip on the rope, sending Sun falling a good five feet to the floor. Sun landed on his stomach and found himself staring into the eyes of a lethal cobra.
Everybody, especially Sun, went rigid, knowing one bite from the deadly cobra would mean almost certain death for him.
"I told you it will be all right," Pietro chuckled from above.
For a few long, horrific seconds, Sun locked eyes with the cobra as it reared up and expanded its neck flaps in warning.
"How is that all right?!" Sun shouted indignantly, knowing how venomous cobras were.
"Just back away from it slowly. No sudden movements," Neptune whispered cautiously.
Sun slowly inched away from the cobra as he gazed around the snake infested room with barely controlled terror.
"Pietro, get down here!" Sun hollered up at the hole as grabbed a red cannister.
Working quickly, Sun poured red fire dust on the snakes (3). Next, with a nearby torch, he set the deadly serpents on fire, clearing out a sizable part of the floor for Pietro so the two men could recover the Ark.
Ruby recoiled. "Jeez! Isn't that a little excessive?" she said, never approving on animal cruelty.
"He's gotta clear the room out somehow if he and Pietro want to reach the Ark," Qrow reasoned, knowing all bets were off in such a situation.
(1)- No matter how beautiful she is, I think any sane person would be weirded out to know someone like Cinder is attracted to them. Especially the RWBY cast after everything Cinder did to them.
(2)- This was a problem on the set for "Raiders of the Lost Ark" as the snakes kept slithering closer to the warm torches. At one point, Spielberg got frustrated and grabbed one shouting: "Why do you like fire!? You're supposed to hate fire! You are ruining my movie!"
(3)- For the sake of integration, I added fire dust instead of gasoline. Also, it saves Gold-Sith the trouble of explaining the nature of gasoline to the audience.
