Hello reader to my re-vised version of my first chapter of RWBY Effect. I took the time to fix the spacing, wording and even added a few more scenes. I do hope you all like the changes and expect more to come soon.
So onwards to re-reading my friends
I do NOT own Mass Effect or RWBY, Mass Effect belongs to Bioware and RWBY belongs to Mounty Oum/RT
RWBY Effect
Chapter.1: Remnant to wait where are we?
It was another day in Vale for team RWBY as they are to be sent off to eradicated a large group of Grimm that have been seen gathering in one area of the Emerald forest for who knows what reasons. Though on this day the girls of team RWBY would get a surprise that none of them knew would happen….
-Ozpin's office: Early Morning-
"Ah girls I'm glad you're here, this task is of the upmost importance." Ozpin said as he looked at the four girls who have become somewhat of an infamous group in his school
"It no problem professor, team RWBY IS ON THE CASE!" Ruby Rose the team's energetic leader yelled out in a joyous tone
"Jeez Ruby do you have to yell that every time you announce our teams name, I mean honestly?" Weiss Schnee the daughter and heiress of the well know Schnee family asked. The Schnee's were the biggest manufactures of Dustthe life blood of Vales technology from their weapons all the way to the everyday appliances. She hit Ruby on the back of her head lightly scolding her more energetic partner's brash behavior
"Hey lay off my sis Weiss, I for one think it's the best way to introduce our group don't you think so Blake?" Yang Xiao Long Ruby's older half-sister said to before turning to her partner Blake Belladonna
"I guess so Yang." Blake replied shrugging as she was the team's ninja of the group along with being a cat Faunus. A Faunus was a secondary race that had a human appearance, but with animal appendages. Her animal appendages were two black cat ears were under a big black bow she wore on top her head (Which ironically looked like cat ears themselves)
"Well either way you'll have to discuss this later we have a serious problem, Glynda if you would please." Ozpin's asked his secretary Miss GoodWitch or Glynda who tuned in on the camera feed in the Emerald Forest
"As you see from what Ozpin has told you four, it is of the up most importance at the moment. A large number of Grimm have been gathering around one central area in the Emerald Forest. We don't know why this is, but they should be trying to kill each other the least; we need you four to go and see what this is about. Oh before you ask we would have gotten another team to do this but most are unable to at the moment, they're helping with fixing up the town still. Sadly, Ozpin and I can't do it ourselves either since we have to deal with the paper work." Glynda explained annoyed by that fact a little
"I know you girls just got done dealing with the Grimm breach and you all must still be recovering, but we need you to do this for us." Ozpin stated as the girls looked at one another for a moment, then looked back to their Professors with confident smiles
"Don't worry Professors we are on it, team RWBY won't let you down!" Ruby answered with complete confidence
"Good to hear, now then ladies follow me." Glynda replied back with a small smile as she and the team RWBY made their way to the Bullhead docking bay
-Elsewhere in the city of Vale-
As Team RWBY was on their way to the Emerald forest, friend of theirs from team JNPR were helping out with fixing up Vale after the Grimm breach.
"Nora will you stop messing around please. We need to be careful." Pyrrha Nikos team JNPR's mother like figure and seasoned warrior asked with a worried tone as Nora Valkyrie the teams crazy little sister figure skipped around pieces of destroyed window glass
"Oh don't worry so much Pyrrha. Here look, the glass won't hurt me see." Nora happily answered back as she stomped on a large piece of glass that broke under her boot and making Pyrrha freak out a little
"AH NORA DON'T, YOU MIGHT CUT YOURSELF!" Pyrrha replied back in a panicked tone as Nora just giggled at her friend's reaction
"Ladies you mind helping us?" Jaune Arc the team's leader asked as he and his teams ninja Lie Ren or as he goes by Ren commonly came in from behind Pyrrha. Both boys were holding up a large crate of replacement window glass
"Yeah, I think this way too heavy. Even for two of us." Ren added in as he and Jaune were struggling a little to keep large crate up
"Silly boys, if you wanted help lifting stuff you should have asked." Nora said kindly as she walked up to Jaune and Ren and with one hand she easily lifted up the crate "See easy as pie, speaking of pie I'm pretty hunger for some so can we get this done quickly please?"
"Ren you girlfriend is way stronger than you are." Jaune stated with a smug grin as Ren blushed a little from the statement
"Very funny Jaune, say it again and what happens." Ren answered back with a slightly flustered face as Jaune couldn't help but snicker at his friend's embarrassment, meanwhile the girls stood at the sidelines and just stared amused by their partner's antics
"Those are our silly boys aren't they?" Pyrrha asked as Nora grinned
"You bet ya and I'm guessing you want to be more than just friends with your boy huh?" Nora replied back as Pyrrha was startled by the question a little
"W-What do you mean by that Nora, me and Jaune are just friends." Pyrrha said back with a nervous tone as Nora grin became more mischievous
"Oh don't be so embarrassed Pyrrha. Beside you already know who I'm crushing on." Nora explained kindly as Pyrrha looked at Ren and the back at Nora
"Wait really, I thought that was a joke you two had with each other?" Pyrrha said with a raised eyebrow
"Really Pyrrha, because even I'm not that oblivious." Nora as with a deadpanned look as she put down the crate she was holding up
"That's mean Nora." Pyrrha replied as sh slouched a little, but Nora kindly patted her on the back
"Sorry didn't mean for it to sound so mean but maybe you should tell him." Nora answered back as Pyrrha straighten back up and looked at her in slight bewilderment
"Oh no I couldn't, I shouldn't I mean…. what if it you know ruins our friendship?" Pyrrha asked with a worried looked but Nora hugged her for a second
"You won't know if you don't try, besides I'm sure he'll say yes. Trust me on this okay." Nora explained with a wide friendly grin which Pyrrha couldn't help but grin back at
"Alright then sooner or later I will. But if I do then you have to do the same with Ren alright?" Pyrrha stated as Nora only nodded in agreement and before another word could be said a few new arrivals came in
"Hey kiddos!" Coco Adel team CFVY's leader yelled out happily as she and the rest of her team made their way over to team JNPR
"Oh Coco…ah hi." Jaune answered first as Pyrrha and Nora regroup with him and Ren. Jaune in all right was still pretty nervous around Coco, but from some of the stories he's heard of her it was somewhat a justifiable fear
"Nice to see you to." Coco replied back rolling her eyes in amusement from Jaune nervousness around her, not that she blamed his since some of those stories that he along with rest of his team had probably heard we're a little exaggerated. Not by much, but a little bit
"Sorry if we're intruding but Coco wanted to say hi." Velvet Scarlatina the team's bunny faunus ninja explained with an embarrassed tone from her friend's brash entrance
"Yeah but that's Coco for you, ain't that right Fox?" Yatsuhashi Daichi, teams CFVY's heavy hitter asked Fox Alistair who was the blind/ mute ninja of the team. Fox just nodded in agreement
"In all honesty it's no problem, we we're just talking is all." Ren answered
"We can see that Pink eyes." Coco joked, getting a quick laugh out of her and Jaune only
"Very funny, but they're actually pale Pink just to say." Ren stated with a slightly annoyed look on his face
"We knew that, but Coco can't help but be a joker sometimes." Velvet explained as Coco and Jaune ceased laughing to catch their breaths
"It's true, so very true. But my jokes are what keep the mood up along with my fabulous fashion sense!" Coco said proudly as she flashes a quick pose showing off her outfit
"Oh very nice." Nora replied back with a smile as Coco does a quick bow of appreciation
"So anyways are you just here to talk with us?" Pyrrha asked as Fox did a few hand signs, much to her confusion. "Um…"
"Oh sorry about that, he said that's the case since your friends with team RWBY. Also he asks where they are anyways." Velvet explained quickly much to team JNPR's surprise
"Wow that was pretty cool." Jaune stated impressed by Velvets sign language skills
"It's a hobby really." Velvet replied with a smile
"But for real where are they, those girls seem to be with your team for most of the days at the academy." Yatsuhashi asked bringing the conversation back to the main question
"They're still back at beacon recovering from what Ruby told me when we were texting each other on our scrolls." Jaune answered "Then she said she had to go since she and her team had been called to Ozpin's, but that's all I know."
"Hm I wonder why they we're called to his office?" Pyrrha asked wondering on the reason why
"I'm sure professor Ozpin is just telling them what a good job they did during the breach, I mean from what I heard around the school those four were in the center of all the conflict." Coco answered
"I guess so." Jaune said as he noticed Nora's somewhat sad expression, then the others took notice. But Jaune was the one to ask "Hey what's wrong Nora?"
"Oh nothing, it's just…. It's just that I got this weird feeling we won't see them after today." Nora answered to the others confusion
"Nora don't worry; we'll see them again tonight after we get back from here." Ren replied back as Nora smiled once more
"Your right, I'm just being a worry worm." Nora stated with an embarrassed grin "But come one let's get to working so we can see them earlier!"
"You mind if we help, we'd like to see them to. But only if that's okay with you all." Coco asked as team JNPR looked at one another, then smiled
"Yeah we're cool with it." Jaune answered kindly as team CFVY smirked back. With that both teams began working on their current area to clean up, though like Nora they all began getting a weird feeling to. A weird feeling like they were going to see team RWBY again. But they all just ignored that feeling and were excited to see their third group of friends later on toady
- Emerald Forest -
"Alright girls this is as far as we can go without being noticed by the Grimm, you know what to do. Get down there and make sure this threat is dealt with. We'll pick you all back up in the Bullhead in this exact spot once you have completed the mission." Glynda explained as team RWBY all nodded understanding what the mission was. Once they were dropped off, they made their way into the forest and straight towards the heart of the sudden Grimm gathering. For a while it was quiet until Yang decided to break the silence
"So girls what do think we will find there, because I'm hoping there's going to be a lot of Grimm. I'm always up for a good fight ya know." Yang asked with a wide smirk as Ruby nodded quickly in agreement with her older sister. Blake just shook her head at her partners continued need to fight
"Personally if you want my opinion Yang I hope that's not the case, not that we can't keep our own but we just dealt with the breach and I'm still recovering a little." Weiss answered back rather against her Yang's idea
"Aw does Weiss need a nap, well I'll sit down and you can lay on my lap." Yang asked teasing Weiss as always
"NO I DO NOT NEED A NAP YANG SO STOP MOCKING ME AND IF THERE IS ANYONES LAP I WANT TO SLEEP ON IT'S RUBY'S!" Weiss yelled back only to realize what she blurted out, while Yang smirked at this as it just became all too easy for her now
"Oh so you want lay on my sister's lap huh?" Yang asked once again teasing the heiress for her sudden outburst
"No I mean wait... Ruby y-you know what I meant right?!" Weiss quickly said as Ruby blush heavily
"Um... well I... yeah I know what you meant Weiss, I mean I'd like you to sleep on my lap too." Ruby replied back only to realized what she had said
"Oh little sis how forward of you." Yang stated trying to keep in her laughter
"WAIT... I mean..." Ruby tried to say in her defense, but couldn't finish the sentence at the moment as her heart was beating too fast. Yang smiled mischievously as she put her arms around the two, getting them closer to one another
"Oh that's okay I think we all know what you both meant, you know I never knew you both felt that way about each other." Yang remarked enjoying this too much as she look to her sister. "So Ruby are you going to make an honest woman out of Weiss?"
"I ah…I…." Ruby tried to reply back as she and Weiss were as red as her hooded cape. Yang herself couldn't help laughing out loud at how cute these two were being, though that stopped when Blake grabbed her right ear and pulled it hard
"Now Yang be nice; you wouldn't want them to make fun of 'OUR' relationship would you?" Blake asked with a slight smirk
"Um wait w-what I thought we promised not to tell anyone yet... I mean you're such a kidder Blake." Yang replied back laughing nervously knowing what she meant by their 'Relationship'. Weiss and Ruby both stopped blushing and glared at the Yang with mischievous smirks across their own faces
"So big sis, have you been keeping secrets from us?" Ruby asked smiling as she couldn't help but giggle a little at Yang's embarrassment at the moment
"Yes Yang you must tell us or better yet, Blake would kindly inform us?" Weiss asked next loving every minute of this now as Blake smiled mischievously at her suggestion
"Of course I will, let see where to sta-" Blake began explaining but was cut off as they heard loud howls and roars in the distance
"Was that what I think it was?" Yang asked as Blake let go of her ear
"I think so, come on we need to get over there now!" Ruby answered as she and the others began to make their way over to cluster of roaring. As the girls ran into the area they were stopped by what could be seen as a large group of at least sixty-five Grimm's, mostly Beowulf's and a few others being Ursa's. The large Grimm horde looked at team RWBY with those sinister red eyes of theirs with intent to kill
"Happy now Yang?" Weiss sarcastically asked as she pulled out her Rapier Myrtenaster
"Well it will be more exciting!" Yang replied happily as she activated her Gauntlets Ember Celica and loaded a clip a shell in each
"I suggest we focus on the targets" Blake said pulling out her katana Gambol Shroud
"Alright girl let's do this and remember have fun!" Ruby yells excitedly pulling out her large scythe, her pride and joy the Crescent rose
As team RWBY charged they took out the nearest Grimm's relatively easily, but then quickly we're surrounded by the rest. Ruby used her speed semblance taking out ten Beowulf's instantly by cleaving their heads off and then shot three more quickly through the chests with a hip shot. Blake used her shadow clone semblance to attack and confuse some of the Ursa's, while she also turned her blade in its gun mode from time to time for quick shots of extra damage. Weiss uses her Glyph semblance to dodge incoming attacks and boost her speed and agility, taking out a good portion of the Grimm which she impaled in through the eyes with the tip of her blade. For Yang, well two of Beowulf's had touched her hair and pulled out at least twenty strands. Her eyes turned red and she went on rampage using her fire semblance. Yang burned many Beowulf's while also becoming completely impervious to their attacks, along with also shooting up/ punching out all the Grimm's in her sights with her gauntlets. It was a sight to behold for at least two minutes as they keep up a good defense, but then the Grimm's suddenly stopped in their tracks which confused team RWBY
"What in the world?" Blake asked out loud as the rest of team RWBY wondered the same thing
Just then they all heard a woman's laughter coming from the hill above them to see said woman looking down at them. The woman in question was tall at least 6'2, she had long black hair, bright blue eyes, pale skin, wore a white tail coat jacket, skinny black jeans, black combat boots and holding what seemed to be a long sword or katana but it was too far to tell really
"Well done girls I see you all can hold your own against these beasts, I'll have to see about improving them so I should thank you for the research material." The woman said happily as the girls looked at the her even more confused. Blake was the only one to ask the question they all had in mind
"What do you mean by research and who are you?" Blake asked as the woman laughed manically
"Well at least someone finally asks me that, I am Kianna Graves at your service and to answer your previous question; you see I have been researching the Grimm. In other words I'm trying to improve them." The woman now known as Kianna Graves answered with a genuine smile of joy as the girls were shocked by this
"ARE YOU INSANE, WHY WOULD YOU HELP THE VERY CREATURES TRYING TO KILL US!" Weiss yelled out to the mad woman who just laughed harder at the question
"Oh my how funny, you girls really wouldn't understand would you. But I'll tell you anyways, you see I was given a very special trinket to control these beasts of darkness and once I can perfect them me and my partners will be the glorious masters of a new world order; we will be GODS!" Kianna Graves answered laughing in pure insanity. The girls knew they had stops this mad woman from what she was trying to accomplish
"Listen here weird lady, we four of team RWBY will not allow you to do this." Ruby said trying to sound threatening but failed miserably at it
"Aw you're so cute trying to be a tough, to bad I have to get rid of you...ATTACK!" Kianna Graves yelled into a dark crystal she's pulled from the breast pocket in her jacket while the remaining Grimm's charged at the girls only to be cut down over and over again. Ten minutes passed as the Grimm horde received reinforcements from the forest around them and they just kept charging at the girls who kept cutting them down. But unfortunately the four huntresses were becoming fatigued from the battle
"We need to find out how she keeps getting more and more Grimm here?!" Weiss yelled out annoyed by their current situation. Ruby took the initiative and quickly look to see if there was something Kianna Graves was doing. Then she remembered the black crystal in the woman's hand so Ruby realized that must have been it
"Blake, Yang, and Weiss I need you to keep me cover while I climb up the tree behind us to get a clear shot at her. "Ruby said as the others nodded their heads, Ruby then made her way up the nearest tree Weiss, Blake and Yang keep the Beowulf's and Ursa at bay. Ruby activated her weapons sniper mode on and aimed it at the crystal. She took a deep breath while lining up for the shot and then fired, within seconds the black crystal Kianna shatter into pieces. As this happen all the Beowulf's and Ursa's died as their heads exploded, while Kianna look at Ruby with a glare
"YOU STUPID LITTLE GIRL, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" Kianna screamed out in pure rage as a large dark portal appeared suddenly under all of them and as they all began to be sucked down into the portal Kianna said one last thing to them "Remember this girl, we will meet again and when I find you. You're all as good as dead!"
With those final words Kianna said, the girls were sucked into the portal and with that their world went dark and silent
-Back in Ozpins Office-
"We should be there you know." Glynda said with a slightly worried tone as she finished another piece of paper work
"I know Glynda, but we have to do this paper work. It's not going anywhere and since I'm the headmaster and you're my secretary, we're stuck doing this." Ozpin replied with an amused grin while Glynda rolled her eyes. Though Ozpin took notice of her worried look "Glynda why are you worrying so much?"
"You know why Ozpin." Glynda answered back with a bit of venom in her tone as Ozpin frowned a little
"Glynda…" Ozpin said in a kind tone as Glynda looked away from him with a pout
"Don't even start, I don't want to talk about it." Glynda answered back with more venom in her tone as Ozpin sighed
"Alright then I understand." Ozpin replied back sighing in disappointment, though knew in a sense he kind of deserved it even after all this time. A few minutes passed in tense silence until Glynda broke the ice she had technically created with her mood
"I'm sorry…. I just worry about the students and team RWBY is one of the few teams I'm close with." Glynda explained with a kind tone as Ozpin just smiled back at her "And before you even say it I know that team RWBY is our best team in many years, but I can't help but worry. Especially right now."
"It's alright Glynda, I worry for them too." Ozpin replied back, then he began wondering on what Glynda meant by 'Especially right now'. "Glynda what did you mean by that last part of your sentence?"
"Oh that, I just meant I got this weird feeling is all." Glynda answered as Ozpin raised an eyebrow
"Glynda nothing is going to happen to them, they are beacons best and most infamous team even for being first years." Ozpin said as Glynda just sighed then smiled back
"Your right, I'm just getting myself worked up. Let's just get this paper work done with please." Glynda replied as she and Ozpin resumed working on the paper in front of them
Though unknown to them team RWBY wasn't going to be around after today, the girls were in quiet a different predicament
- Unknown location-
Ruby awakened and slowly opened her eyes while hearing the wind blowing past her. She got up off her back and look around to see she was in a forest. Strange thing was that these tree were much smaller and scatter apart than the trees in the Emerald forest. Ruby wondered why that was, but then the past events of toady suddenly came back to her
"OH NO WEISS, YANG, BLAKE WHERE ARE YOU!" Ruby yelled in a panic but only hear three groans coming from behind her. She turned around to see her friend and big sister on the ground "Oh good you're all okay."
"Ow... Ruby could you please lower your voice ... ah my head hurts so much." Weiss asked groaning as she rubbed the sides of her head
"You think you got it bad at least you didn't hit a tree on the way down." Yang replied back and to prove her point she pointed up to a broken tree branch above her
"Yang as much I like you, could you please get off me?" Blake asked startling Yang
"Oh crap sorry Blake!" Yang said in shock as she quickly got off Blake and gave a hand to her partner lifting her up to her feet
"Thanks but where are we?" Blake asked as they look around not having any clue where there current location was
"Well from what I remember when Ruby shoot whatever that nut job was holding it made a portal and well that's it really all I remember." Yang answered while Ruby looked worried by that
"HEY I didn't mean too!" Ruby franticly argued back with a sad tone
"Sis don't worry no one's blaming you" Yang responded back to calm her little sister down
"Yang's right Ruby no one is blaming you, but whatever you shot sent us well… where ever here is." Weiss stated and was starting to get nervous in this unknown area already
"I think we should head out somewhere, better than sitting around here." Blake suggested trying to get the team back to task at hand which was their survival at the moment
"Blake is right, let's head out. Maybe we'll find a small town?" Ruby stated happily walking to the Eastern direction while the others followed hoping for the same thing
-A while later-
As the team walked for what seemed like forever, they started to see what looks like a city. Much to their relief the girls ran up to it, until they noticed the fires around it which got them worried. Though once the girls finally made it to the platforms what they saw was horrible. It was at least eight bodies on the ground, some burnt while the rest were riddled with multiple bullet holes
"Oh my..." Ruby tries to say but couldn't as she started to tear up, then began crying into her sister's shoulder
Yang herself was attempting to calm Ruby down but was also shocked by the sight. Weiss teared up from seeing all the dead bodies of not just men and women, but children as well. Blake only stared in a mortified manner trying to comprehend who would do something like this, they got their answer as a man came running to them looking scared beyond belief
"Oh...oh thank... thank god help is here... please you have to-" The man yelled out as he was inched away from the girls, but stopped as part of his head blew up spewing a bit of blood on the girl's clothing. As the girls looked to see who the attacker was to extract their anger on it, it turned out to be an ungodly sight
The attacker in question was a robot of some kind. It had an all dark gray metal body with wires sticking out of it and a strange looking gun. It had three finger and toes on each limb, but it most noticeable feature was its long head with a single lightbulb eye. Before the attacker could shot its gun at them, Yang lunged toward the machine breaking its head clean off. A little bit of white liquid squirted out of the neck, then seconds later the body slumped to the ground
"I...I... can't believe that monster did that." Yang muttered angered by the robot's actions, then she turned back to see if her friends were okay. Specifically, her little sister "Ruby are you okay?"
"Yeah...yeah I am b-but we need to get moving now, we got to save anyone else who might be here." Ruby answered wiping away her few remaining tears as the others nodded in agreement
"But what we're those... thing's, there weren't Grimm." Blake asked as she looked around to see if they we're going to be ambushed by anymore robots
"Your right Blake, but maybe we can find someone who can tell us what's happening here." Weiss suggested getting her composure back and as luck had it she got her answer as a few seconds later. A beeping noise came from the dead man's belt which turned out to be a hand held radio, Weiss ran up and took it off of him though held back the urge to throw up at the grisly sight. Weiss then activated the radio as the rest of the girls walked up to her to see who was on the other side of the radio
"Hello...Hello (static)... This is (static)... Gunnery chief William of the 212 re... (static) back up needed near the dig site!" The woman named Gunnery Chief Williams yelled over the radio, but then the transmission died and was replaced by more static
"Well there's our first lead but how do we get to this dig site?" Weiss wondered
"Hey Yang, Blake, Weiss I found a tram station and it has a directory!" Ruby yelled out happily as she and the others made their way to the directory, studying it for a few seconds. "Oh this tram ahead of us goes to the dig site area let's go!"
"Wait Ruby maybe... oh never mind." Blake tried to say, but decided just to not say anything since there was no real other forms of transportation she could see. So with that Blake followed behind Ruby leaving Weiss and Yang behind
"I'm not doubting Ruby, but are we even sure that tram is safe?" Weiss asked trying not look nervous
"Oh come on Weiss, better that than just walking aimlessly." Yang answered back as she lightly punched Weiss shoulder in a friendly manner, then she began making her way to the trams. But she did turn her head back to Weiss for a moment with a grin "Besides you wouldn't want to leave you friends alone, especially my little sister right?"
"Oh are you still on that?" Weiss asked, but her question fell to deaf ears as Yang was already at the tram with the others. "Oh just forget it then."
With that Weiss began making her way up to the trams, meanwhile they all had the same thoughts on their minds. They wondered how many people they could save in the new place and if any of them would have answers for their questions. But only time would tell. Little did the girls of team RWBY know that they were about to become entangled in events that would change their lives and many others lives around them forever….
