Hello! I'm gonna try something new now! That everyone has probably thought of or have done before. Now, if guys from my other fics are reading this and wondering I'm writing this instead of another chapter of React Watch Believe Yikes, well, I'm gonna take a break. I've been doing a weekly update for that for weeks and I'm starting to lose a bit of interest. That's why I've decided to do something different and do a weekly update for one of my stories instead of just focusing on one fic. That way, those who are waiting for another update on my other fics will get them sooner. But gonna start off with this first because it's been on my mind for forever. This is inspired by The Gamer and Majin Hentai X's Naruto: Game of the Year Edition, but I'm gonna add my own spin on it. I'll try to get the characters right this time, but tell me in the reviews if I'm deviating. Alright, let's do this!

New Game… Start!

Save 1: Game Over. Restart.

It was done.

Four years full of hardship and tears had come to this.

Their friends had fallen in countless numbers.

Beacon Academy, once a great and proud school, was reduced to rubble.

But they finally did it.

Ruby Rose, barely standing and her Aura gone, managed to have enough strength to hook Crescent Rose around Cinder Falls neck. Both of Cinder's arms were somewhere on the side and her only visible eye was destroyed by Yang. Ruby glared at Cinder with intense rage. All the death, chaos and turmoil she had caused. For what? Power? Taking over Remnant? To fuel the fires of hatred that has been going on for centuries? Ruby didn't care. She had enough of it and it was time finish this war once and for all. Ruby didn't say anything as she pulled the trigger and sliced Cinder's head off.

It was finally over.

But still, Ruby cried.

"Weiss. Blake. Yang." She sobbed as she looked around and cried even more.

Her teammates were dead.

Blake had gotten killed by getting extremely severe burns that burned through her flesh and had burnt a hole in one of her lungs and caused a rib or two to puncture her heart. Weiss distracted Cinder while Yang & Ruby got her to safety, but it was already too late for anyone to do anything. When the two sisters got back to the battle, Weiss had a hole in her chest as Cinder used Myrtenaster to stab her straight through the brain. In pure, unadulterated rage, Yang charged at Cinder while Ruby was frozen. She had lasted the longest out of Weiss & Blake, but when Cinder broke Yang's arms, it was pretty much over. When Ruby snapped out of her shock, she saw Yang's body get thrown against what was left of the statue. It was hopeless at that point but Ruby needed to avenge her team. For JNPR, who had died fending off the White Fang and Grimm that had attacked. For all the teams that had either gotten completely wiped out or had dead team members to grieve over. For Ozpin, Qrow, Glynda, everyone She needed to do this. For the sake of humanity and survival.

But it wasn't going to bring her friends back. Life wasn't a fairytale after all, and Ruby discovered that not everyone would have a happy ending. And she was one of them.

"R-Ruby?" A voice coughed out. Ruby looked up and saw her sister coughing out blood as she laid on the floor. Ruby used her Semblance to get to her as fast as she could,

"Yang! I'm here!" Ruby cried, "I-I can save you! I'll get a doctor a-and, and," Ruby was interrupted by Yang, who only raised her broken arms to Ruby's lips. Yang smiled sadly,

"Sorry, Rubes. But it looks like," Yang coughed even more violently in the middle of the sentence before continuing, "I'm not gon-" She interrupted when Ruby slapped her in the face, unable to think straight,

"D-Don't say that." Ruby said quietly as she cried freely. Yang knew she knew she wasn't gonna last long enough to get somewhere safe, if there was a safe place to go to. Fighting was still going on around them and it looked like it was never going to stop until everyone dies, "I-I-I-"

"Ruby…" Yang said, feeling herself fading quickly, "I love what you've grown up to be. Live out your life. Make us proud…" Yang trailed off as she finally gave up. Ruby was now in grief as she felt Yang going cold in her arms.

She had finally died.

Suddenly, something in Ruby's mind snapped. A voice in her head telling her what she already knew, 'What do I have left to live for?' Her body shook violently as she got Crescent Rose and transformed it back into its neutral form and held it against her chin. She cried as she looked up at the cloudy, blood red sky as she said last words in this world,

"I'll see you soon."

BANG

Game Over

"Huh?" Yang said as she looked around a pitch black room with only those words in front of her, "What th-THE HELL!? I died, and all I get is a stupid fucking game over screen!? FUCK!" Yang openly swore in anger. She kept her swears to an absolute minimum until she was alone or just plain pissed, like now for instance, "Wait a minute, I'M A VIDEO GAME CHARACTER!? Oh, perfect! Just freaking perfect! What a great way to end my life on!" She shouted into the empty sky as more words appeared in front of her.

Would you like to do now?

-Main Menu

Retry

(Warning: You have chosen True Huntress difficulty. Your save file is deleted after death)

"So all I can do is go back to the Main Menu and everything I've done is gone now." Yang said with a small groan, "Back to square one I guess." Yang muttered to herself as she pressed on 'Main Menu'. Suddenly the room transformed around her with rose petals going everywhere. She gasped as she saw it was Beacon Academy, although in black, white, yellow and red, and she was standing where the ships would drop off students. Now, she never really got into video games, but she had to admit the guys who made the game (and she guessed herself) put a lot of work into this, at least in the Main Menu. Suddenly, Ruby's silver eyes appeared and opened before revealing the title of the game she was in and who developed it.

RWBY: Phases of a New World

Developed by Jordan Scott, LAZR Team & the Uknown 0s

Published by Rooster Teeth

"Sounds like a couple of dorks." She muttered. She put a mental note though to go through the credits when she can. Then the Main Menu popped up.

-New Game

Load Game

Options

Extras

Yang thought for a moment before deciding to open up the Options menu and see what was there and check the Extras menu later. She saw that there were only a few options available to her.

Music Off

Gameplay

Subtitles Off

Save Data

Save Options

She automatically turned on music. She hated all the quiet and enjoyed some music. Suddenly, the Main Menu's soundtrack started playing. Yang didn't know how she knew but for some reason she could tell what it was, "This Will Be The Day (Instrumental) by Jeff Williams & Casey Lee Williams." She muttered to herself. She also decided to turn on subtitles because she would miss a couple of important things during class. But that meant more reading. Yang didn't know whenever or not it was a good thing or bad thing but right now she didn't really care so she went into the Gameplay menu.

Tutorial Notifications Off

Achievements Off

Default Difficulty: True Huntress (Permadeath, any Difficulty between Beacon Student and Heroine)

Default Gameplay Style: Realistic

Yang groaned but she knew she had to do it. She turned on Tutorial Notifications and changed the Default Difficulty to Beacon Student, or Normal Difficulty. There were other Difficulties. Civilian was Beginner. Signal Student was Easy. Huntress was Hard. But she noticed there was that other Difficulty. Heroine. She checked what it was and saw that it was harder than True Huntress. There was Permadeath, and it said that Grimm will deal more damage than her health could take and one hit from anything will kill her. That meant she had to have a perfect run, without getting even a scratch of damage. And it was locked on the Realistic Gameplay Style. She set her Default Difficulty to Beacon Student, turned on Achievements and looked through the Gameplay Styles.

-Realistic (Selected)

Real Time RPG

Dynasty

Strategy

Card Based

Turn Based RPG

(Gameplay Styles can be changed during your game)

"Well, Realistic does sound nice…" Yang muttered before picking Card Based. She considered herself to be a master at anything card related and she may as well try out different Gameplay Styles while she was going through the game. Plus, she had no idea what the others meant and hope RPG meant the game would give her a rocket launcher or something. But then she realized something, 'How the hell is that suppose to work?' She thought of it for a moment before switching to Turn Based RPG and going back and saving her Options. She explored the Extras menu and only saw it was just Cheats, Concept Art and removed content from the game. She then went back to the Main Menu and selected New Game.

Would you like to turn on Team Mode?

(Yes) or (No)

(This cannot be changed during Gameplay)

"What's up with all these menus!?" Yang exclaimed before selecting Yes, "Seriously, if I see one more…".

Choose your Player 1!

Suddenly, Yang gasped as she saw Ruby, Weiss, Blake and herself fall from the sky, do a three-point landing and go into the same stance of having their legs spread out, hands behind their backs and their heads looking down, "At least it isn't a menu." Yang muttered as she looked at her teammates and clone. She teared up a little when she saw Weiss & Blake and she wanted hug Ruby before she died. She guessed now she had to pick the character she wanted to be. It was a no brainer to her as she walked up to herself. Suddenly, the Yang clone broke out of her stance and went into a battle stance,

"This is gonna be fun!" Yang stepped back a little since she heard herself say that but her lips didn't move and it kinda freaked her out. Once she calmed down, she walked backed to herself as her clone did the same thing she did before but with different dialogue, "I'm getting bored here!"

"Yeah, sure you are." The real Yang muttered as she touched the clone. She felt a shock go down her spine as she absorbed the clone, "Well, that change absolutely nothing." Yang muttered as the others faded away and groaned loudly when she heard the sound of a menu popping up.

Are you aware?

(Yes) or (No)

"Uh… yes?" Yang said as she selected Yes. Suddenly she heard a different sound as she saw an Achievement pop up.

Achievement Unlocked: Things Just Got Meta 100G

Bonus EXP: 150

You know you're in a video game. There'll be something waiting for you within.

"Wait, huh?" Yang said before she saw Beacon starting to crumble, "Not again!" She shouted. She wanted to run but her legs weren't responding. She then saw an explosion coming from Beacon as one of the towers was flung into the air. Yang screamed as she braced herself for her on-coming doom. Suddenly, everything went black. She could hear something but it was kinda hard to hear. When everything started to clear up, she could understand what the person was saying,

"Ruby! Get up! Just because I'm going to Beacon doesn't mean you should sleep in!" The voice called out,

'Wait a minute. Isn't that… me?' Yang thought as she slowly opened her eyes and yawned. She looked around and raised an eyebrow, "Um… why am I in Ruby's room?" Yang asked before gasping and covering her mouth. She jumped out of bed and grabbed a mirror.

She was Ruby, and today was the day Ruby would try and stop a robbery and get into Beacon.

"KKKKKKKKKKKKKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

New Mission!

"I DON'T NEED THIS RIGHT NOW!"

Save Game… Quit!

Whew! Done! Well, sorry to disappoint but I need this break from React Watch Believe Yikes.
