Hey everybody, I have returned with a new chapter of RWBY Hearts! So last time our heroes defeated the Heartless Dragon terrorizing the Land of Dragons.
Meanwhile, Organization XIII has returned to Remnant, searching for Raven Branwen, but she somehow was not present at the camp, where the entire tribe was murdered at the hands of the Organization. Where is she and what are their plans for her? We shall have to wait and see.
To KnightSpark: Thanks.
To Jacob9594: Thanks, Raven will have a role to play very soon. That was my plan, to make the Organization members far more menacing than they already were in the original game.
To Gamelover41592: Thanks :)
To CRabbit3428665: All will be revealed in due time if she becomes a member or not…
To Robbeeyy9588: Right, thanks :)

Castle That Never Was/Dreamscape
Yang stirred a bit and moaned. "W-what?" she asked as she woke up to find herself all alone, she was not in the cell that she was in with the others…she was someplace else and it made her confused. "Weiss? Nora? Uncle Qrow?" She called out, but to no answer…what was going on.
"Why?" She turned to see…herself? Yea, it was an exact mirror image of herself, but something was different though…this figure looked a bit more…darker however, with her normal blond hair all red, and her eyes were red as well. But also her voice…it wreaked malice.
Yang looked at the copy and raised an eyebrow. "Ok…" She said, not really knowing what to make of the situation.
"Why did you bring her back?" Mirror-Yang asked.
"Who?"
Mirror-Yang barked. "You know who I'm talking about you bimbo!" She said, "The faunus!"
Yang was about to make a comeback for the bimbo part, but when her double mentioned Blake, she stopped midway, and her face was confused. "Blake? Blake's my partner and teammate, just like-"
"Oh really?" Mirror-Yang asked. "The same teammate who abandoned you after Beacon fell?" She then walked a bit closer. "The one who didn't even tend to you after getting your arm cut off by that psychotic bastard of an ex of hers?" Yang still remained silent, causing her double to smirk. "You get it don't you?"
Yang shut her eyes tightly, hoping that if she didn't pay attention, then maybe this…thing could stop talking and go away, but at the same time…she did have a point. "Especially when you ran to take him down after he stabbed her." Mirror-Yang said. Yang kept her eyes shut, and as much as she tried to ignore her mirror…she couldn't as every sentence went right in her ears. At this point, everything the mirror said, combined with the guilt she had for slapping Blake and threatening Oscar…caused the brawler to get on her knees and start to sob a bit.
"Oh Yang," Mirror-Yang said as he kneeled down and wrapped her arms around. "I know a good way for you to get yourself out of here." She said,
Yang sniffled. "W-what?"
Mirror-Yang engaged her ear. "Eliminate Blake, and embrace the darkness…" While the brawler winded her tear stained eyes a bit, the mirror was grinning evilly.
Castle That Never Was/Cell
"You…" Nora glared hatefully as she and the torah captives were staring right at Cinder Fall, who was giving a cruel smirk
"Surprised to see me?" Cinder asked them all.
Qrow glared hard. "I thought Raven would've killed you." He said.
Cinder scoffed. "Your sister did give me a bit of trouble, no doubt about that. However, it was thanks to the Organization that I am still here and standing." She said as she crossed her arms.
Ren glared hard at her. "No matter what, you and your comrades are not going to win this." He said.
"Oh?" Cinder asked. "You see, the Organization has granted me more power than before." She said as she snapped her fingers and at her call, Heartless appeared right before her, making the others gasp a bit. "With this power…I will become unstoppable."
"I don't think so!" Weiss said as she glared hard at the Fall Maiden. "Ruby and the others will find us! And when they get us out of here, you will pay." She said,
"You think so?" They turned to see Xigbar approach them with his arms crossed. "They might be able to come here…but I'm not sure all of them are going to make it." He said.
Blake glared at the man. "What do you mean?"
Xigbar smirked and walked away, leaving Cinder behind at the people in the cage. As he walked away his cruel smile never left. "Bunch of tools." He thought.
"You just wait Cinder!" Nora said. "Jauney, Ruby, Sun, and their new friends will come and rescue all of us, and then." Nora's glare turned dark. "I'm gonna break each and every bone in your damn body…"
Cinder was not at all intimidated by the threat, in fact, she was smiling a bit. "Yes…the Organization was telling me about little red, and that pathetic knight." She said, making everyone glare at her. "I will say though." Then her entire body was covered in dark mist. "I'm gonna enjoy killing all of them." She said to them all with a wicked smile on her face. "Oh, and Qrow…I should let you know, it seems as if your sister's little tribe was wiped out." She said.
This made the older huntsman wind his eyes. "What?" He asked.
Cinder nodded. "Xigbar, Xaldin, and Saїx went there for something, my guess is that it involves your sister…too bad she was not there though…because she deserves to die for betraying me." She said with anger.
There was a part of Qrow that felt very conflicted, sure he hated Raven due to her role in bringing down Heaven…but he also felt…relief that she was not caught in the crossfire though. But to hear that his former home was eliminated by three members of this group…it made a part of him fear for her soul.
"Well either way, once she is dead, the Spring Maiden Powers will be mine." Cinder said cruelly, making everyone in the cell glare angrily at her.
World Lane
The Travelers of Light were back on the world lane and were on their way towards the Beast's Castle.
"I hope Beast and Belle are doing alright." Goofy said.
Sora nodded. "I agree." He said. "Especially after last time, I worry that Xaldin is going to start something up again." He said.
"And when we get there, that bastard is going to give us answers!" Jaune exclaimed with determination i hsi voice.
"That's right!" Ruby cheered.
Ortensia raised her hand. "Easy, killers." She said cheekily. "Let's get to the castle first." She said, she then thought of something. "I wonder if Beast has any dresses that might fit me." She thought.
The entire group were all thinking the same thing about when the Emperor sw Riku there at the Land of Dragons, and more importantly him wearing the clothes of Organization XIII...but it didn't make sense, because for the way Sora talked about him, he didn't seem like an enemy…maybe he is a spy? All they could do is hope that he was just a spy on the inside…because they didn't know if they would want to fight a friend of Sora's.
"Guys!" Chip's voice came up on the intercom. "You're all approaching the Beast's Castle!" He said happily.
"Get ready to land!" Sora said as the ship then began to reach its destination.
Beast's Castle/Village
The village is where Belle originally lived at, it was a thriving community, but Belle was often considered something of an oddball there because of her love for reading. It was an odd thing for her to do because in there, women are not expected to do such a thing, but Bella is a free spirit, not to mention the most beautiful girl there.
However there was one villager who had his eyes on her, the villager was the most handsome and considered the town hero as well, and he was in the tavern right now. The figure was a man who appeared to be in his mid 20's, he had long black hair tied in a ponytail, and blue eyes. His attire consisted of a red shirt with gray trousers, yellow gloves, and brown boots. This figure is named Gaston, the local hunter/hero of the village.
Gaston, as I mentioned before, is considered the most handsome man in the entire village. Women want him, and men want to be him! However, he only has eyes for one woman, Belle. Gaston wants to marry Belle and make her his wife, however she has already said many times that she is not interested in him. But unfortunately he refuses to take no for an answer.
Alongside him was a short, stouty man with a large pink nose, fair skin, brown hair tied in a ponytail and brown eyes. This is LeFou, Gaston's sidekick.
Together the two were in a tavern together sitting. All other villagers in there were laughing amongst themselves, but Gaston was fuming. He had not seen Belle in a really long time now, where could she be? And not just that, but the last time he tried to propose, she denied him yet again
"Maybe she ran off?" LeFou suggested as he then grabbed a cup of beer and was about to drink until.
BONK
The short man was knocked on the head, causing his beer to fall and for him to spin around dizzy. "Tuesday's ... .applesauce day…" He slurred before passing out.
Gaston glared at his minion with a glare. "Stupid fool!" He said as he turned to his mug. "Belle has not been seen in months…I want to know why." He said.
"I can answer that question." Gaston then turned to see a figure dressed in black at his table. As soon as everyone else saw to look at the man, the entire pub went silent, not even a cricket made a noise. Gaston looked at this figure and something inside of him made him a bit wary, but he still kept up his bravado.
"You know where Belle is?" Gaston asked, with the figure nodding. "Good! I long to see my wife-to-be!" He said with a big smile. "As soon as eh is back, we will have the wedding, and then our honeymoon will be-"
"Stop your talking for a moment." the figure said as Gaston stopped. The figure then sat across from Gaston and removed his hood, revealing to be Xaldin and locked eyes with Gaston. "I will help you get Belle…if you help me with something." He said.
Gaston raised an eyebrow. "Oh?" Gaston then rubbed his manly chin in thought. "Well…tell me where Belle is first."
Xaldin smirked as he then pulled out a card, provided to him by Luxord and gave it to Gaston, who confusedly took it from him and looked into it. The cad then glowed a bit and conjured up an image of Belle and…the Beast dancing together! The very sight of it made Gaston gasp.
"The old man was right!" Gaston gasped, as then many of the patrons then approached the table to see what was going on, and as soon as they saw the Beast, they all gasped and shouted frightfully.
"The crazy old loon was right!" One villager exclaimed.
"Belle is in the hands of a beast!" Another one said.
"What are we gonna do?" Everyone in the bar was now shouting very loudly and conversing amongst themselves.
Xaldin ignored them all and looked at Gaston, who was still looking at the image. When he saw Belle smiling at the Beast, his body was trembling, as his facial features contorted into one of rage and anger. Why was Belle dancing with this...this..creature? Why wasn't she dancing with him?
Xaldin looked at Gaston and smirked. "Perfect." He thought as he then tapped Gaston on the shoulder to get his attention. "So, what do you say?"
Gaston looked up and glared at the man. "What do you want?" He asked in a calm, yet angry tone. "You agreed to tell me about Belle, now what do you want?" He asked.
Xaldin then took a pitcher from someone and drank it a bit. "There's a group of people who are friends of his, one of them is a girl with a red cape, the other is a blond-haired knight…I need both of them alive, the rest, I don't care if you kill them or not." He said.
Gaston looked at Xaldin and back at the image, his body still shaking as Xaldin coiled dark mist radiation off of the egotistical hunter. Gaston then looked back and extended his hand. "As long as Belle's mine…we have a deal." He said as he and Xaldin shook. After that, he looked at the villagers. "Everyone! Gather as many weapons as you can! We storm the castle…and KILL THE BEAST!"
"KILL THE BEAST!" All the villagers shouted in unison as they all cheered.
Meanwhile, a plump old man with pale skin was watching the scene with horror. His attire consisted of a yellow-green shirt with the sleeves rolled up under a long brown vest with large pockets and a dark green capecaslepd around the throat with a round gold brooch. He also wore a pair of green breeches with a brown belt buckled with gold, and brown shoes. This is Maurice, Belle's father who is considered by the townsfolk to be insane due to him trying to invent many things that always go wrong.
When Maurie saw all of this happen, he gasped in horror. "Oh dear!" He said with worry. "I must leave to warn Belle!" He said as he then ran over to a nearby horse and got on.
BANG
Maurice and his horse jumped a bit before looking back to see Gaston with his blunderbuss, looking enraged. "Hya!" The old man shouted as he kicked the horse's side, causing the horse to race off ahead.
Gaston growled. "That old man will ruin everything!" He said as Xaldin, who was still in the bar, smiled.
"All according to plan." He said as he then opened a corridor of darkness and walked right through it.
Beast's Castle/Courtyard
The Gummi Ship landed right outside the castle, and the group all got out.
"I wonder how Beast and Belle are doing." Sora wondered, with everyone wondering the same thing.
Max tugged his father's level a bit. "Hey Dad, why is he called Beast?" He asked.
Goofy looked and smiled. "Oh that's right. You didn't join till after we got back to the castle! You'll see Maxie." He assured me. "Beast might be big and scary, but he's a softie."
"Not really helping, dad…" Max sweatdropped.
Ruby put a comforting pat on MAx's shoulder. "Don't worry Max." She said with a smile as she and everybody went inside.
Castle Annex/Ball Room
"Hello?" Ruby called out, but no one answered though, making everyone confused.
"Belle? Beast!" Donald called out, but once again, there was no answer from them.
"Wait!" Everyone turned to Sun, who;s head was pelrked a bit. "I hear something." He said as he then began to follow the noise he heard, with everyone following close behind. "Sounds like…music!" He said, much to everyone's surprise. "And it's coming from the ballroom." He said as everyone looked at the big doors ahead of them and they all decided to nod and went inside to see that there were instruments playing a soft melody. But something else caught their attention.
"Guys…look!" Ruby said with awe as they all saw Belle and Beast, but something was different about them. Belle was dressed in a very lovely yellow ball gown, and her hair was tied up even further.
But Beast…Beasts were dressed totally different from the rest!. Beast had his neither mane all tied up with a blue ribbon, and his attire consisted of a blue and yellow jacket, an orange vest, and black pants. He looked entirely different from his usual clothing.
"They look amazing!" Ortensia said while also gushing over the romantic display the two were showing. Sora, Jaune, and Sun were blushing a bit at seeing Belle all dressed up like this.
"Ah, you have all returned!" The group turned to see Lumiere and the other servants approach them all. "So, you all like what you see?"
"Yea!" Jaune said with a smile. "It seems like they're having a good time."
Cogsworth nodded. "I am glad to see the master enjoying himself…he's been planning for this night for a while now." He said with everyone nodding in agreement.
While they watched the scene, Ruby for some reason saw herself and Jaune in Belle and Beast's place, in their usual attire dancing the waltz, Ruby was confused as to why she saw this…but she felt really really happy about it, she really wanted to dance…and have Jaune be her partner for dancing.
"W-Why do I keep thinking these things?" She thought. "Jaune is my best friend for sure…but is it even possible for us to..we'll…be together?" Of course Ruby wasn't against the idea of romance..but would Jaune even want anything to dow with her? She was a weapons geek…plus he still mourned for Pyrrha…maybe she can ask Jauen what he thought at some point.
Interestingly, Jaune was also thinking the same thing. He thought about ruby and him being in the same spot as well. Wella t first he was imagining himself and Pyrrha being there, but then Pyrrha's image changed into Ruby, the very thought made him blush. "I missed my chance with Pyrrha….but with Ruby." He thought. "I don't know…would she want me? She has awesome weapons and a great team…I'm just a blond noodle knight…" He thought
Sun was in a similar predicament. He imagined him and Blake being the ones dancing, he had followed her around Beacon, and followed her to Menagerie, he wanted to help her break out of her shell and be there for her….would be willing to give him a chance?
As they were dancing, Best and Belle were having a really good time, sure there were a few ups and downs from time to time, but tonight…tonight was something very special. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
"Well, isn't this such a pleasant treat." Or so I thought….
Suddenly, the instruments stopped playing and everyone looked around in shock. Beast and the Travelers of Light recognize that voice and Beast held onto Belle protectively.
"Look!" Stitch pointed as everyone looked to see that Xaldin was now standing above the balcony of the ballroom. Sora and the others all got out their weapons as some of the servants all stood back a bit.
"You don't know when to quit, do you?" He asked.
"We'll show you!" doinald said as he pointed his staff to the cloaked man. "Right, guys?"
"Yea!" The team shouted in unison! Beast looked up and glared hard as he then ran on all fours right up to the group.
"Get out. NOW!" He shouted as he got ready for a fight.
Xaldin smirked at him. "I still have business to attend here." He said as he then reached behind his back and showed a glimpse of a glowing rose. Beast saw the rose and his eyes widened as he gave a mighty roar.
"GIVE ME THAT NOW!" He roared as he then lept in the air to try to strike back, but Xaldin smirked and vanished completely, causing Beast to land right on the exact spot.
After looking around frantically, he unleashed another vicious roar as he then leapt off the balcony and started to pace very aggressively, making everyone present look concerned for him.
Cogsworth was the first to try to ease the tension. "M-Master?" He asked, but then he was met with an angry snarl by Beast, causing the clock to jump into Lumiere's arms.
"B-beast…" Belle said to him and that was when he glared right at her.
"You!" He said pointing at her. "You just had to have a party tonight!"
Sora and the others stepped right in front of her as Beast came up to them all. "Hold on now!" Jaune said. "What's wrong?" He said in a stern tone.
Beast's anger lessened a bit as he said. "The Rose….my rose!" He said, when he said that, the servants and a few of the Travelers gasped a bit.
"That intruder has the rose?" Mrs. Potts asked with worry.
"Sacrebleu! That isn't good!" Lumiere said with worry on his face.
Sora looked a bit worried as he was told about the rose during their first visit. "If something happens to that rose." He thought.
Belle however didn't think it mattered. "Surely you can find another rose-"
BAM
"SILENCE!" Beast shouted after slamming his fist to a nearby pillar, causing the entire place to shake a bit. "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!" He roared. This made the entire group shield Belle behind them all.
"That's not fair, Beast!" Sora exclaimed.
"Yea! Don't you blame her! How was she supposed to know?" Ortensia asked. This made Beast realize what he had just done, and he saw that Bell Was shaking a bit in fear. This caused him to look down and groan in dread.
Belle, who was trembling, looked down. "I'm sorry.." She said.
Jaune went over to her. "Don't apologize, you didn't do anything wrong." He said to her.
Beast looked at the group, and then at his servants, some looked a bit nervous, and some shook their heads and looked at him with displeased looks. He then gave a small sigh. "Everyone…I want you all to leave the castle." He said with sadness in his voice. This made everybody present to gasp a bit. Did Beast…really say that? Beast then sighed again. "Look at me." He said to them all as he then began to take off his ball attire. "This is who I am now." He then eyed them all sadly. "Belle, when you first came here…when he traded yourself for your father, I tried to change."
He then eyed Sora. "Sora, when we first met in Hollow Bastion, I tried to open myself more after you helped me." He then looked at his hair and frowned. "But I was just fooling myself…I can't be different." He said sadly. "I'll always be a beast…so I should live like a beast…alone." He said with sadness.
This made everyone present look at him with sadness on their faces. He didn't mean that! He didn't! They didn't want to leave him all alone to struggle.
"But master…" Beast turned to see Cogsworth and the others come up. "What about us?" He asked.
Beast sighed. "When I was human…I treated you all like dirt, and even now…I do the same sometimes." He said. "I'm nothing but a selfish, heartless beast…I don;t deserve to have anyone, not even you all..when you have been at my side for a long time." He said with a sigh as he then began to walk away. "Goodbye…everyone." He said as he then left the ballroom in sadness.
"Beast…" Sora said with a small frown as now the entire area was now very quiet, not even crickets were chirping. They all heard some sniffling and they all turned to see Belle, with a few tears coming out of her eyes.
"Awe, sweetie." Ortensia went over and hugged her leg, this would be awkward to see, but now was not the time to joke about it. "Don't cry." Belle then looked down and got to the cat mage's level and hugged her back.
"Everyone!" They all turned to Lumiere. "You have got to get that rose back!' He said.
"I was thinking the same thing!" Oswald said. "If we can get the rose back, the Beast might be able to calm down." Everyone pondered what he said. They don't know if it would be true, but right now, they don't have any other options.
"BELLE!"
Just then everybody heard someone scream from outside the Ballroom. Belle looked up as the voice sounded very familiar.
"Father?" She asked as she wiped her tears away and ran over to the doors, with the others following suit.
So we are going to stop there everybody. Sorry if this is later than Saul, I am trying to mainly focus on myself or the time being as well as doing stories. Plus with the holidays coming up, I am trying to take it a bit easy.
Anyways I do hope you enjoyed the chapter. I hope you like the alternative take I'm going for here with Gaston, don't worry, he will be fought but the fights will play much different than the film.
Anyway please read and review, I'm always happy to hear from you guys and happy to answer any questions you might have for me.
See you all next time and Happy early Thanksgiving!
