I apologize for the long update, it's because I'm still new to this whole writing thing. I would also like to thank the Composcreator for Beta Reading this chapter. However I want to ask if anyone here knows other beta readers, because I want to have alternatives just in case if one is busy. It's because Composcreator was busy with summer school is another reason why this took so long. Hence why I think it's good to have alternatives.
Anyway on with the disclaimer, I do not own RWBY nor any of the franchises or series featured here.
"That was disturbing." Yang finally found her voice after witnessing her dad being the recipient of an abhorrent surgical procedure.
"Agreed." Glynda shared her student's sentiments, as she too felt uncomfortable from watching the scene.
"I hope the next one is something fun." Ruby muttered.
Old decrepit looking double wooden doors were shown as voices could be heard on the other side. The doors were then swung open to reveal six people. Five of them were young males, and they were Jaune, Ren, Sun, Neptune and Mercury with the sixth being an older one, Qrow. Judging from the latter's attire, he was a bus driver.
"This is the second time the bus broke down." Neptune complained to the bus driver as the latter tried to keep his composure.
"Not my fault." Qrow responded in frustration, as he was getting fed up of Neptune's complaining.
"Hey there's Jaune." Ruby declared, recognizing the blonde-haired youth.
"Ren, Sun, Neptune and Mercury are with him too." Pyrrha noticed.
"And it looks like I'm playing babysitter for these guys." Qrow grumbled in dismay.
"I wonder where other me and the others are headed?" Sun was curious where his alternate self and the other boys were going off to.
"What if we never make it to the next show." Ren piped in, worried they'll be late to their destination.
"It appears they were on their way to see a performance." Ozpin surmised from what Ren said.
"Aw and their bus broke down." Nora felt bad that the boys could miss out.
"I wonder what sort of show they were going to?" Ren was curious as to what the boys were so adamant in attending.
The others followed suit as they too began fussing over their predicament. Getting fed up with the boys' whining, Qrow snapped at them.
"It's not my fault!" He then calmed down.
"Alright, the bus broke down, I'll make sure to get it fixed." The older man reassured.
"In the meantime you all should stay here for the night while I deal with the problem." Qrow suggested as he left off to deal with the broken bus leaving the boys behind to stay for the night.
The boys were hesitant as they noticed that the house they were sleeping in looked like it was haunted.
"Oh god, is this going to be a typical night at a haunted house cliche?" Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose as she was unimpressed with such an overdone concept.
"Now I feel scared." Velvet muttered as she wasn't very fond of horror movies.
"Relax Velvet, it's probably gonna be super cheesy and just plain bad than scary." Coco reassured her teammate.
"Why do I have this strange feeling that there's more to this?" Yang narrowed her eyes in suspicion.
Jaune surveyed his bedroom, and he looked very uneasy as it was in a very disheveled state. Cobwebs were all over, and the life-sized Ursa on display didn't make things any better.
Jaune patted the blanket to bat away the dust as he got ready for bed. However he started fidgeting, as he felt that there was something underneath the covers. Reaching in, he pulled out some sort of scary animal causing Jaune to scream in horror.
Everyone couldn't help but wince at this horrid scene.
All of a sudden music started playing as the boys are now shown dancing along with several other people in the house's main lobby. Each of the boys were paired up with a female partner, Pyrrha for Jaune, Blake for Sun, Nora for Ren, Weiss for Neptune and Emerald for Mercury. The dance number they did appeared to be a ballroom style dance as all the other dancers, male and female, also paired up.
"Wait, what's going on?!" Weiss exclaimed in shock as she didn't expect this turn of events.
"I thought this was supposed to be some typical haunted house scenario." Coco had a similar reaction.
"Oh my god, I see now what this is." Yang declared in realization.
"What is it Yang?" Blake inquired her partner.
"Have you guys not realized it yet? This is a music video." The fiery blonde pointed out.
"YES!" Nora cheered in excitement, as she'd love to watch another entertaining music video.
"I'll go get the CD burner." Nora went to work with setting up the machine.
"Furthermore, you guys are a boy band." She referred to Sun, Neptune and Ren who were members alongside Jaune and Mercury.
"I think I'm gonna enjoy this." Sun was pumped at seeing his alter self perform.
"Does that mean other me is a better dancer?" Neptune mumbled to himself feeling insecure.
The dance sequence continued as it switched from a ballroom style dance to a different one. All five boys separated from their partners as they and the other dancers transitioned into another dance routine. The next routine that followed consisted of more elaborate body movement as the five boys along with the other dancers performed a more exuberant dance. As the music picked up, the song began as Sun started things off.
Everybody
Rock your body
Everybody
Rock your body right
For some weird reason, Sun appeared to be incredibly furry and more beast like. It became clear that Sun was some kind of were-creature, a weremonkey to be precise.
"Dude, you're some kind of weremonkey." Neptune observed.
"That is actually pretty cool." Sun admitted that he looked good as a werecreature.
Backstreet's back, alright
Hey, yeah, now
A coffin standing upright was displayed as team NDGO who were vampires caressed the wooden box. The coffin then opened up revealing Neptune inside as he emerged from its confines. Neptune was apparently a vampire as he grinned showing off his fangs.
"Woah, Neptune take look at you, you're a vampire." Sun grinned.
"And I'm looking stylish." Neptune digged the look.
Oh my God, we're back again
Brothers, sisters, everybody sing
Gonna bring the flavor, show you how
Got a question for you, better answer now, yeah
This time Jaune is shown and he appeared to be somewhat human. However, half of his face looked horribly misshapen, hence it was clad in some kind of metallic half-mask to hide the deformity. Jaune appeared to be sitting at a dining table that had rats crawling all over. Alongside him at the table were four females dining whilst chatting amongst themselves, and they were Blake, Yang, Velvet and Coco dressed in victorian dresses color-coded in their respective colors.
"What sort of monster is Jaune supposed to be?" Pyrrha wondered.
"Judging from his appearance, he's based on the Opera Ghost." Blake deduced.
"Dang, those dresses look good on us." Coco admired the costumes.
"Ew, are those rats crawling all over the dining table?" Ruby felt somewhat nauseated at seeing them eat without a care.
"It's probably part of the whole haunted house theme." Qrow explained to Ruby.
Am I original? (Yeah)
Ren is revealed to be a mummy.
"Wow Ren, you're looking good as a mummy." Nora complimented her longtime friend.
"..." Ren didn't say anything as he continued to watch with interest.
Am I the only one? (Yeah)
Mercury joined in, as he is facing to the side showing only one-half of his face which appeared to be completely human.
"Seems like Mercury is the only one who isn't a monster." Ruby found it odd that Mercury was the human here.
"I wouldn't be too sure." Blake retorted.
Am I sexual? (Yeah)
Am I everything you need?
You'd better rock your body now
Then Mercury turned around revealing that the other side of his face was scaly and then he showed off a clawed hand.
"Guess I was wrong." Ruby admitted.
Everybody (Yeah)
Rock your body (Yeah)
Everybody
Rock your body right
Backstreet's back, alright
Alright
Three of the boys in the video were now getting down with the music, as they did their own dance sequences. Neptune danced in front of his coffin, Sun was doing flips all over and Ren did typical mummy like movements. Furthermore Ren was accompanied by two mummy girls who were Nora and Pyrrha.
"Check out me and Pyrrha, we're mummies too." Nora hollered in glee.
Now throw your hands up in the air
Wave 'em around like you just don't care
Jaune danced along with Yang, Blake, Coco and Velvet as the four girls followed Jaune's lead. They raised their hands up and waved them around in perfect sync to the tune of the music.
If you wanna party, let me hear you yell
'Cause we got it goin' on again (Yeah)
Jaune and the four girls spread their arms wide as if beckoning the crowd to yell. They then crossed their arms and flap them around, which they then followed up by bobbing their shoulders.
Yang, Coco, Velvet, Nora and Ruby couldn't help but dance along to the tune by emulating the moves.
"You girls seem to be enjoying yourselves." Ozpin noticed.
"How can we not." Nora replied as she continued dancing to the song.
"Even I find myself enjoying it." Glynda admitted.
The scene transitioned showing Weiss appearing to be in a trance like state judging from her lifeless expression. All of a sudden, Neptune appeared behind her with a predatory look on his face as if he's ready to pounce.
Am I original? (Yeah)
Am I the only one? (Yeah)
Am I sexual? (Yeah)
Am I everything you need?
You'd better rock your body now
Everybody (Yeah)
Rock your body (Yeah)
Everybody
Rock your body right
Backstreet's back, alright
Alright
Several clips of the boys in their own respective scenarios continued, Jaune dancing with the four girls, Mercury showing his moves in a study room, Sun doing his flips all over and Ren continuing to dance with mummy Pyrrha and Nora. Neptune however was about to bite into Weiss' neck.
"Uh oh looks like Weiss is about to get bitten." Ruby was concerned that her "bestie" was going to get her neck munched on.
"Don't worry about it Rubes, she's probably too cold blooded to taste good." Yang quipped causing everyone to groan in dismay.
"Seriously, Yang?!" The heiress exclaimed in anger.
The music transitioned into an instrumental interlude as the boys continued to do their respective scenes. The most notable though was Neptune completely sinking his fangs onto Weiss' neck. Strangely however, Weiss had a look of bliss as if she enjoyed it.
As the interlude finished, it then transitioned into the final chorus as the video showcased the dance routine like in the intro.
Everybody (Yeah)
Rock your body (Yeah)
Everybody
Rock your body right (Rock your body right)
Backstreet's back
"Everybody, yeah." Nora sang as she danced to the music.
"Rock your body, yeah." Yang followed suit.
This time, the vignettes altered between the dance sequence and the scenes showcasing the boys in their monster looks.
Everybody (Everybody)
(Yeah) (Rock your body)
Rock your body (Everybody)
(Yeah) (Everybody rock your body)
Everybody (Everybody, rock your body)
Rock your body right (Everybody)
Backstreet's back, alright
As the song ended, the scene switched back to Jaune in bed as he jolted awake as if he had a nightmare. He then ran his hands all over his face to feel if there was any sort of weird deformity. Apparently, the whole music video was some sort of dream. Getting out of bed, he went downstairs to meet up with his fellow bandmates.
"The whole thing was a dream, are you serious?!" Weiss was incensed at such a cheap ending.
"It's just like the ending in Thriller!" The heiress exclaimed in utter annoyance.
"Dream or not it was fun." Nora chimed in.
"Yo guys, you wouldn't believe the dream I had last night." Jaune told his bandmates as he
described to them what his dream was about.
"I was some masked freak dining at a rat infested dinner table."
"Same here, I had such a dream too, but I was some kinda weremonkey." Sun responded as he also shared his strange dream.
"No way, in my dream, I was a vampire biting some white haired chick's neck." Neptune joined in, starting to feel freaked out that he and his bandmates were having such dreams.
"'White-haired chick,' really Neptune?" Weiss was irked at such a degrading remark.
"Come on, it's the other me's words not mine." Neptune frantically defended himself.
"Hey guys, I had a crazy dream too, but I was a mummy and there were these two girls." Ren was strangely nonchalant about the whole ordeal.
"How can Ren be so jovial about the whole thing?" Sun was somewhat baffled by this.
"He must have had too much fun to care." Blake surmised.
"Okay, this is getting weird." Mercury remarked, as he too had a similar dream himself.
The boys continued to converse amongst themselves regarding their weird dreams. Having had enough of the eerie house they were staying at, Neptune urged his fellow bandmates to leave the abode.
"This house is haunted, let's just get outta here." Neptune was getting more and more unnerved.
Suddenly, he and the rest stopped in their tracks as they see something that completely terrified them.
It was revealed that Qrow their bus driver has returned from his errand of fixing the bus. However he was some sort of undead creature and was holding up a steering wheel. He then spoke to the boys in a frighteningly distorted voice.
"Let's go." Qrow flashed an evil grin accompanied by lightning flashes in the sky outside.
The boys screamed in abject terror as an evil laugh resounded in the background.
"Of course can't forget about the "twist" ending." Qrow deadpanned.
You'll have to pardon me for making the descriptions of Mercury's scenes in the music video so lackluster. It's just that, Kevin's scenes weren't as great as the others'.
