Ruby yawned as she sat up only to find herself on a bed in a different place than her Dorm in Beacon. She took in her surroundings to see that she was in her bedroom back in Patch. She got out of her bed and opened her door to hear talking coming from downstairs. She walked downstairs to see her team along with Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha and Ren. Ruby asked "Guys?" Yang turned around to look at Ruby and said "Ruby! You're just in time! This guy was hoping to show us something." Weiss spoke "Which is going to be a huge waste of time." Nora replied "We're in a pocket dimension, Ice Queen! We literally have all the time to waste!"
"Guy? What guy?" Ruby asked to which someone cleared their throat. The voice was just a floating orb. Ruby turned her head to the side "You're just a ball" The orb responded "An orb that brought you all hear to show you a band." Ruby's eyes widen then she zipped over to sit between Yang and Weiss. Team JNPR were sitting at the floor in front of the couch. "What kind of band?" Weiss spoke "I'm hoping it's classical." Yang muttered "Aristocrat." Weiss shot her a glare and Blake spoke "I'm thinking metal or rock." Pyrrha replied "I just hope it's not too loud." Jaune spoke "I think this'll be fun."
Ruby asked "What's this band called?" The orb replied "Five Finger Death Punch. What you'll see is from an alternate universe where some people you know will be playing these songs." Weiss spoke with distaste "That band name is atrocious and screams negativity." Yang replied "I think it sounds awesome!" The orb spoke "Now without further ado, I give you Five Finger Death Punch."
Inside Out
The music started with violins playing a slow melodic tune before picking up with a fast drum building up before guitars joined in.
"Classical. These people may have some actual tastes!" Weiss spoke with pride. Blake rolled her eyes "I wouldn't boast victory just yet, Weiss." She simply humphed and turned her attention to the screen.
The drumming got louder in bursts along with the guitars while the screen showed numbers.

The eight turned to the side to look like the infinity sign before changing to resemble a snake swallowing itself. The music cut with only the guitar fading. Before bursting to an awesome riff with all the instruments playing at full force and the violins gone.
Jaune jumped and put a hand to his chest while Yang, Ruby, and Nora immediately started head banging with Blake, Pyrrha and Ren nodding their heads as they liked the beat. Weiss simply kept still and waited for some singing, if there is any.
Take it, I don't need it
I don't wanna hear your motherfuckin' side
You can love it or you can leave it
Because nothing I say and nothing I feel is right
"Wait, doesn't that voice sound familiar?" Yang asked to which Ruby nodded and said "It does." Weiss asked "What kind of singing is this? It's like he's trying to tear out his own throat." Jaune replied "I think it sounds awesome."
The lead singer's voice went low as the riff continued
Even if you wanted to, you couldn't understand
While I'm sitting up here dying, you're just holding out your hand
And even if I wanted to, I couldn't have explained
Cause you don't know the difference between VIOLENCE and PAIN!
Blake spoke "I like that quote."
The singer's vocals went clean as the Chorus dropped.
There's no denying it, you've never had control
I stand alone
Guess I knew it all along
Yes I knew that you were wrong
How you left when I was down
I want you to say
It was never really me
You just turned and walked away
How you turned me Inside Out
Inside Out
Ruby's eyes widen as she shouted "That's Uncle Qrow!!" Yang jumped up "Holy crap, it is!" Jaune asked "Anybody not getting the meaning of the song?" Ren answered him "I think I do but I'll wait until after the song."
The riff went back to the catchy tune as the teams started to enjoy the song
I'm not a dog (I'm not a dog), I'm not a slave (I'm not a slave)
It doesn't matter how much money I get paid
I give a shit (I give a shit), I never did (I never did)
So you can wipe it away, that silly fuckin' grin
Weiss spoke "He maybe arguing over executives? This seems like the kind of talk that those who the executives pay would argue over the direction of the song." Blake put a hand to her chin and said "You might be right." Yang said "Qrow always did have problems with those in power. Those who were ignorant."
If I wrote it down for you, could you ever see it clear?
Or would it go straight through your soul and come right out your ear?
If I slowed it down for you, would you think me insincere?
Cause in the end I'll never bend, I'll never shed a tear!
"So they maybe dumb to what the problem is so he's asking if he'd have to slow it down?" Ruby asked to which Pyrrha replied "I've dealt with those kinds of people. They're assholes." The music stopped and everyone looked at her. Pyrrha asked when looking at everyone to which Yang bear hugged the champion "Oh I'm so proud of you! You finally cursed! Now you're no longer innocent!" After a minute, the music continued.
There's no denying it, I've always had control
I stand alone
Guess I knew it all along
Yes I knew that you were wrong
How you left when I was down
I want you to say
It was never really me
You just turned and walked away
How you turned me Inside Out
Inside Out
The music changed to taking a slower turn when Qrow sang cleanly which surprised Ruby and Yang
How you've turned me Inside Out
Inside Out
tInside Out
How you've turned me Inside Out
I'm Inside Out
So Inside Out
Ruby said in amazement "Wow... I've never heard him sing like that." Yang replied "I've never heard him sing period."
The only instrument playing was the violin as Qrow sang
I stand alone
Guess I knew it all along
Yes I knew that you were wrong
How you left when I was down
The instruments picked up again to heavy as Qrow did one final chorus.
I want you to say
It was never really me
You just turned and walked away
How you turned me Inside Out
Inside Out
Inside Out
Ruby took a deep breath as the song finished then the orb asked "So what did you think of that?" Yang and Nora along with Ruby shouted "IT WAS AMAZING!!"
Weiss answered "It was... OK, I guess."
Blake answered "I think it was pretty good."
Jaune spoke "I liked it."
Pyrrha said "I'm not big on... That kind of music but it was pretty good."
Ren answered "It was I interesting."
Ruby then looked at the orb and asked "So Uncle Qrow is the lead singer but who're the other members?" The screen came to life and Ruby and Yang both shouted
"WHAT THE FUCK!?"
