I've never done this before. This could be good.

It was a brand and bright new day and a black clothed girl was looking into the distant sea, the sound of waves soothing her soul. The marine air was flowing through her long, black hair and the black bow tied on top of her head, waves were crashing onto the boat into a thousand droplets, shining in the summer sun like countless stars. Her clothing was light because of the heat and the only thing betraying the vacation look that she had was her weapon, a black short sword, laying on a table. In her left hand was a just fully read thick book, which she started at the start of her trip. As there was nothing else to do, she thought back to why they were on a moving boat for.

''What do you mean an unknown island?''

''Miss Schnee, please calm down.''

''My home's technology is flawless. There is no way it missed an island.''

''Miss Schnee-''

''We know of every damn rock on all of Remnant.''

''Weiss, please-''

''NO I WON'T calm down!

Professor Ozpin, you may be one of the smartest and most respectable man in the world, but I will not let you insult my home land!''

''Weiss Schnee. You will stop now or you will be expelled.''

*grumble*

''Thank you Glynda.

Now, as surprising as it may be, I am not lying. There is an island lost in the middle of the sea that we know nothing of. In fact, we do not know if it even is anything at all.''

''What?''

''What.''

''Huh?''

*grunt*

''The only thing we know of this place is that long range signals are unable to travel in the area. Visual and audio feedback become blurred and turn into static when entering a pretty large zone.''

''Then why not send people over?''

''The military is not well equipped to deal with the Grimm and Huntsmen were always dicouraged by the mention of being lost in the sea for so long.''

''Well considering that and the fact that with blurred signals, it is impossible to request backup, it is understandable.''

''Well, you all know what that means, right!''

''Being lost in the middle in the sea with no way to call others.''

''Cool water Grimm to beat up!''

''Chances of finding lost knowledge that may revolutonize our world and quickly ranking up in huntsmen's ranks.''

''And an amazing adventure!''

''Sorry ice queen, majority wins.''

*Death stare so intense it is audible*

''Well, it seems you will go. You will depart in three days.''

''I hate all of you...''

''Well, I hope Ozpin made the right decision.'' the girl, Blake Belladona, thought out loud.

''Hey, Blake!''

The one called turned around to face her team, team RWBY, 's leader, the always so happy Ruby Rose. Even when munching on a cookie, she still had her trademark infectious smile of her's, making Blake forget all of her worries for the moment. Her clothing did not change much, aside from the fact that her combat skirt was tossed aside for she did not think about bringing any lighter clothing. She, however, did not mind showing her unerwear to her team since they all already saw it, sharing a room and great friendships make you disregard things like that after a while after all. (I don't actually know, I just think that at least Ruby thinks like that. It would make sense after all, considering the gal.) Her feet, freed from her stockings too, would not stay in place and her silver eyes were sparkling like... well... silver!

''Weiss said we're almost there! Isn't it exciting?''

A giggle could be heard. ''Yeah, but the gal might get cold feet once we're there.''

*Silence*

The author of the terrible pun turned around on her deck chair to face the others. ''What? This one was at least worth a chuckle.''

''No.'' the other two girls said in unisson.

As the bad jokster bursted into laughter, Blake went back to looking into the sea and Ruby just went back to her plate of 'emergency cookies', mumbling ''Yang, you're my sister and you're awesome but please, just stop.''

After Yang stopped laughing like a maniac to her bad joke, she went back to her tanning, her yellow and orange bikini on with Amber Cecilia, her weapons, still on her wrists. Her long blond hair was drinking the sunlight and her lilac eyes were closed. She was this close to napping right now.

''Girls!'' shouted a fourth person from the pilot seat. ''I see land!''

As the three rushed to the front of the boat, Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee dust company, had an overjoyed smile on her pale face. She would say that it's because they won't be stuck on the sea for much longer while the others would say it's because she actually wanted to get here but didn't want to show it. It was a little bit of both. Her style did not change, her clothes simply being lighter than the usual ones. However, said clothes being pure white, she had to wear a ton of sunscreen to avoid catching a stupid sunburn stupidly, thus making her skin even more pale than usual.

(Now that we're done introducing these four...) The island they were approaching was small but still felt like an entire continent. It had a few snowy mountains, active volcanoes, deserts, forests, plains-

''Ok, this place isn't normal.'' stated Yang, confused.

''There shouldn't be any way for a small island to contain so many different environments!'' exclaimed Weiss, very much confused by the sight.

''Wait... Are those ruins?'' asked Blake.

As everyone looked where she was looking, they saw that, inside the plains, there were indeed ruins that looked like they were hundreds, if not thousands of years old.

''But how could there have been civilisation here? It's an island lost in the middle of the sea! Nobody at whatever time those were built could come here alive!'' wondered Weiss out loud.

''I guess we didn't see that many Grimm after losing all signals...'' said Yang.

''Another mistery for team RWBY to resolve!''

Then, (through the power of convenience and contradiction,) a Sea Dragon Grimm rose from the water, spotting them immediatly, it's black body and bone plates shining from still being wet.

''Oh you've got to be kidding me.'' thought Yang out loud.

But then, before any of the huntswomen in training could do anything, another creature jumped out of the whater and bit down on the Grimm's neck so hard, a sickening 'crunch' could be heard. From the angle it was in, only the skin-colored underbelly of it's quadrupedal serpentine body was visible. The Grimm tried to wiggle out of the creature's grasp, but it would not let it go. After a few minutes that felt like hours, it did manage to escape, somehow. As a foolish attempt to warrant the creature away, the Grimm roared so loud that the girls had to cover their ears. The unknown creature, however, did not even flinch and instead replied with it's own roar. It was so loud, the air around it became blurry, the Grimm felt the impact of the sound wave and even when covering their ears, team RWBY's still ringed loudly afterwards. Then a staredown happened. The girls took this opportunity to look closer at the creature. It's back and legs were covered in azure colored scales, it had peircing yellow eyes, it's teeth were sharp enough to easely cut through flesh and it had on it's back some sort of light blue cristals that were crackling with light blue electricity.

''That can't be right.'' Weiss said as soon as she got out of her mesmerised state. ''Thunder dust is yellow, not blue.''

''I don't think that's dust...'' Blake stated, worried.

''But it sure does act like it.'' Yang simply stated.

''This thing isn't natural at all...'' Ruby said as she started to instinctly back up.

Once the Grimm decided to end the staring by charging a lazer able to cut through rock in it's mouth, the unkown creature shot two balls of pure light blue electricity from it's mouth at it, the first one hitting it square in the mouth, stopping the lazer's charge and dealing major damage, and the second one hitting the Grimm's neck. After recovering from the hit, it decided to use good old melee combat, staying wary of it's mouth. But, instead of attacking it with it, it let out a small roar upward and caused four explosions of electricity around it's body, one of them hittting the Grimm and killing it in one shot.

But it wasn't done yet.

A second wave of explosions appeared, further away from it's body, and closer to the boat team RWBY was on.

Ruby acted on instinct. ''Everyone, jump!''

They managed to avoid full damage from the third wave of explosions, but still got blown away.

Where am I?...

Am I dead?

And why am I talking to myself?

…

What's this thing?

It's glowing for some reason.

Why does it feel so...

Familiar?

Wait...

Crescent Rose?

Why are you glowing my baby?

''Mom... Wa... u...''

What?

Did you just talk?

''Yo... tea... drow...''

Huh? What are you trying to say?

''Wak... up... You an... our tea... drownin...''

W-wah?

I opened my eyes.

The sea's water was stinging, but my body was hurting so much everywhere else, I didn't notice. My chest was causing the most pain. Figured I inhaled water. Looking around, I saw that Crescent Rose did not lie. My teammates were drowning. My survival instincts told me to go up as soon as possible, but I didn't listen. I went and caught everyone under my arms, then swam as fast as I could to the surface. As soon as I got there, I took the longest breath I have ever taken in my entire life then coughed all the water out of my lungs. There was more than what I expected. I looked around some more. The monster was gone and the Grimm was probably dead. So I took this chance and swam to the island.

I almost drowned multiple times, and I know it.

I am running on adrenaline only, and I know it.

What I'm doing is killing me, and I know it damn well.

But I will not give up.

I will not give up.

I WILL not give up.

After some time that felt like days, I reached it. I saw the golden sand of the beach. Seeing this, I managed to gather the last of my strength and got us all there. Once we were all out of the water, I crashed on my back, saw the sun setting, and fainted.

Yang was the first to wake up. After coughing a lot of water, she looked around to see something she did not want to see. Her hair was ruined, but she didn't care about that at the moment. She saw her sister and her friends out cold on the beach, obviously after having almost drowned. Her sisterly instincts kicking in, she went to Ruby first but, to her pleasant surprise, she was out of danger, just unconsious. She then went for the closest one, Blake. After making her get rid of the water she breathed, she went back to see if Ruby was really alright while Bake went to save Weiss. She got her rid of her clothes and checked her. Thankfully, all she had were bruises, for sure this time.

When she went to put her clothes back on, she saw that they were ruined, tattered and ripped and such. Looking back, she saw that Blake and Weiss's were too. Looking at herself, she saw her bikini only covering one breast since the sea water left it stuck there with salt, the other half probably lost to the sea, and her bottom half was in the same condition as the part of her top that was left. She instantly covered her bare breast with her hand while turning a bright red. Then, she saw her weapons. They were still there, but they were probably unusable from of being in the water for so long. She looked around some more and saw Crescent Rose (''At least Ruby won't whine about that that much.'' She thought.) on the shore and looking back at Weiss, she saw her trying to get Minasteir out of her dress. However, Blake's weapon seemed to be nowhere to be found.

''Girls,'' said the latter, ''it's nighttime and we have seen what lives here. I propose we find somewhere safe before doing anything else.''

She was right. And so they went, Yang carrying Ruby on her back, still embarrased about her bare breast. Thankfully, the worst that happened were the other two blushing and looking away, even though they got a bit used to it after a few hours.

What they saw wasn't just an island with way too much environments, they saw one that has it's entire ecosystem. It was like a scaled down continent. They saw peaceful herbivores sleeping, other great monsters, some sleeping too, others looking for prey (they had to flee from a few of them) and even saw two mating. Then, they found a place where no hostile creatures dared live. It was...

A plain full of ruins.

Surprisingly enough, no big monster dared come near this place, or at least just the giant blue and yellow owl thingy that stopped following them once they got here.

Before doing anything else, they fell on the ground and went into the deepest sleep they have ever had.

The next day...

Weiss woke up first at around noon, soon followed by Blake. Yang was snoring and Ruby looked way better, but wasn't awake yet. While Blake went to look for food, a well already providing them with water, Weiss, seeing nothing else to do, decided to explore the ruins of what looks like it was a village. Going further away into the plains, she saw the ruins of what looked like an equivalent of Beacon academy for it's time. Even though it may be smaller, it was just as imposing. Getting close to the main building, she heard strange warping sounds, as if a portal was inside. Deciding not to go there without her team, she went back to where they set up their ''camp''.

Once she got there, she saw that Blake came back with the corpse of one of the peaceful creatures, but it was obvious she wasn't the one to kill it, and Ruby and Yang had woken up, Ruby a few moments ago. Weiss was overjoyed and tackeled her just like the leader would do. Weiss did not care about her image anymore, which surprised the other three, but they joined the hug in the end. All of them were crying tears of joy and spoke without a word. After a few minutes, they broke up.

''What happened?'' asked Blake, whiping her face with her torn sleeve.

''I... Can't remember right now, but I'll tell you all once I feel better.''

They all understood.

Later...

''So you saved us yourself?'' Weiss could not belive it.

''Yeah. But, I was just lucky to have it work.''

''That's my sis! Way stronger that she looks! You're catching up to me!''

''Heh, thanks. But, aren't you mad about your hair?''

''Yeah, I'm still salty about it but I can't really blame anyone, huh?''

''…''

''What?

Ooohhh... I didn't even mean to make that one!''

She only had time to take a breath before Weiss announced that ''We're here.''

''Damn, you weren't lying.''

''This is so cool!''

''…Wow...''

''Yes, I know this place is incredible, but I didn't bring us all here for sight-seeing. Follow me.''

Once they got inside, they all saw something that they both expected and did not expect.

An actual portal.

''How?'' asked Weiss to no one.

''You could say that about pretty much everything here.'' replied Yang.

''Well? What are we waiting for? Let's jump in!''

''I don't think we-''

''WEEEEEEEEEE!''

Ruby jumped in.

''I-''

''Should have expected it, Ice Queen.''

Yang jumped in too.

''E-''

''She is right.''

Blake simply walked in.

''… I give up.''

Weiss sighed her way into the portal.

I have no idea what I did, I just know that it has been done.
