Part 3: This will be the Day (Volume 1 Episode 4 & 5)
Mal- o -Vision
Alarm: OHAIYO SEKAI GOOD MORNING WORLD!
I looked at my pho- I mean my scroll and the time is still 5:00 am.
Mal: *sigh* Just my luck, no one's awake for me to talk to, I'm hungry and all I have were leftover baking ingredients.
Oh look, Yang's having a nightmare and her hair's on fire...
Jei- o -Vision
Right now, I am walking back to the ballroom after going to the bathroom and the first thing I see is Zeph standing in the hallway dressed in the blue jacket and black shorts he came in here with, as well as his goggles and skeleton teeth bandana.
Jei: Hey Zeph what are you doing here?
Zeph: Remember how you had your aura unlocked by Ruby?
Jei: Yeah?
Zeph: Well, last night I convinced professor Ozpin to unlock mine.
Jeph: Gutsy, but what do you hope to accomplish?
Zeph: Well, I was hoping that you'd spar with me.
Jei: But, we don't have our weapons.
Zeph: *chucks Shiroi and Kuroi on the feet of Jei* I'm sorry I didn't bring our ranged weapons, I just thought it would be too loud to fire inside here.
Jei: I don't like where this is going. *picks up butterfly swords*
Zeph: Don't worry, we stop when one of our auras deplete.
Jei: *gulp* Whenever you're ready. I guess.
Zeph: *pulls out Keisho* It's a beautiful day outside, huntsmen are fighting, grimms are prowling. On days like these, kids like you, *lunges and clashes swords* should quit slacking off.
Jei: (FFFUUUUU-)
3rd PoV
Jei then pushes off the japanese weapon to the right in hopes of throwing his friend of balance. But Zeph merely uses the momentum to launch a stab to the stomach which he barely dodges by jumping backward.
Zeph: *samurai sword stance* Another reason I am doing this Jei is because I want to train you in the way of the sword. You lacked proper training when I saw you fight during the robbery. You can't rely on your anime and videogame know how alone.
Jei: *modified boxing stance* I understand.
Zeph: If you really do, then come at me... like you're going to kill me. *lunges forward*
Jei then blocks the stab by trapping it between his swords in a scissor-like fashion which was followed up with a kick that Zeph blocks with his left hand. Then they both proceeded to clash blades over and over, then jumped back. They then charged towards each other with Zeph's Keisho in an upward swinging position while Jei's Shiroi and Kuroi behind him in a naruto run position.
Mal-o -vision
I feel bad making donuts and having no one to share it with so I woke up Ruby. Both of us set out to baking on top of a sleep berserking Yang. We also saved a portion for when Yang wakes up as a peace offering. At some point we saw Blake walk past us, so we gave her some as well. We also left a slice (we packaged of course) near Weiss with a letter from Ruby as her peace offering or something. And then Nora came...
Nora: Oh wow, donuts! Can I have some?!
Mal: Sure, but I thought you said yesterday that pancake was better?
Nora: Oh yeah! Right! YOU WERE THE ONE WHO BLASPHEMOUSLY SAID THAT DONUTS WERE BETTER THAN PANCAKES!!
Mal: But it is though!
Nora: FIGHT ME! Mano-e-Mal0
Mal: I would, but I still don't have my aura.
Nora: Ren, could you please unlock his aura*starry eyed*?!
Ren: Well... I.
Ruby: *sweating nervously* Well, you see, um...
Mal: *leans beside Ruby* (psst, she's Nora)
Ruby: Well you see Nora, we kinda still need to conserve energy for later.
Nora: *downcast* Awww...
Mal: *in deep thought* What if all three of you unlock my aura? I mean, theoretically that should cut the aura consumption of unlocking by a third right?
Ren: I've never thought of it that way before.
Nora: So, does that mean we'll do it?! *starry eyed* Okay, okay let's do it!
Ren: *sigh* Very well.
Ruby: Worth a shot I guess. Okay, *sigh* here we go.
Ruby/ Ren/ Nora: For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of virtue to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death. I release my soul and by my shoulders, protect thee.
Then all three of them glowed. I waited for me to glow... and then nothing.
Mal: Wait, why didn't that work?
Ruby: It... did though. I mean I feel weakened although not quite like when I did Jei's.
Ren: So, us three doing it all at once messed it up then.
Nora: Aww...
Mal: Ah poop...
Nora: THIS SUCKS! *punches Mal*
I then instinctively blocked hoping that the crash wouldn't be so bad and saw that, as I fell into the floor, I have indeed unlocked my aura. It was just transparent.
Ruby: Woah! You do have an aura, it's just transparent. How much do you feel?
I then closed my eyes and imagined my aura pool and so it as shallow but then it quickly filled up.
Mal: Ruby, my aura is meh but it refilled really quickly.
Ren: So, three people performing the ritual somehow causes a glitch in your aura then.
Nora: OKAY! NOW WE FIGHT!!
Then we hear a clank and a shatter noise only to see Yang passed out. It turns out me and Ruby left the frying pan baking oven thing on top of her head and when she woke up, it slammed into her forehead. But how it shattered through her aura I don't know. Either it didn't and she just wasn't able to activate it that quickly, or it was deadly enough to have cracked her aura as she collided with it. Either way, looks like I'll have to give her a couple more donuts to make up for it.
Nora: Okay, now that you have had your aura unlocked. FIGHT ME!!
Mal: Right!
Apparently, a crowd was already forming to watch us fight. It was about something dumb, but I ain't gonna stand around when it comes to food racism. I also believe in gender equality, so if I drop kick this orange haired pancake addict, I am not going to feel bad in the slightest. We ready our fighting stance with her taking a kick boxing stance and me doing Goku's stance when he first fought Vegeta.
Ruby: AAAAND BEGIN!!
And so I took the initiative by sweep kick only for her to jump above it. She then forward kicks, to which I block with both arms. I staggered a bit, but I managed. I then charge at her with a headbutt only for her to bring her elbow down on my neck. But then, I recovered quickly and lunged at her right leg and pulled it up so she would fall. But she counters by swinging her left leg into the side of my head. I staggered from it, but I was otherwise fine. However, the time I took to recover was long enough for her to have recovered as well and was now charging towards me with her right arm cocked into a punch. I followed suit and swung my leg at it which made a shock that was strong enough to shake the floor a bit. But, because of how strong the attack was, my aura also broke. Then, in sheer desperation, I charged towards her hopping with one leg and threw a flurry of punches which were each accompanied with the word muda. She side stepped behind me and punched me in the back so fast, I could swear she skipped time. Then my breathing became ragged as my asthma has started to take effect once more. But then my mind went blank with rage, my eye then twitched wildly, and then my mouth twisted into a wicked grin. My aura then started to take on a black sheen before I passed out.
Ruby- o -vision
Ruby: MAL!!
Nora: I may have overdone that one.
Ren: *sigh* Let's let em rest. I think his aura's fast regeneration should take care of his injuries and apparent sickness.
So me and Nora took him placed him on my sleeping bag, while Ren moved the crowd away and reported to Prof. Ozpin(much to Nora's dismay).
3rd PoV
Meanwhile Zeph and Jei's fight still rages on. With Zeph lunging, parrying and sidestepping and Jei swinging, blocking and rolling. Then, both combatants suddenly glowed. Both have simultaneously unlocked their semblances. This was most evident with Zeph as when Jei was about to do a downward slash, Zeph suddenly teleported backwards. Everytime Jed threw an attack, Zeph would blink either sideward, backward or forward. However, when he tried to consciously teleport, he couldn't. It's as if his semblance merely allows him to auto dodge. After, a few swings Zeph manages to send Jei's weapons flying. But, at the moment Jei imagined getting his weapons back, both Kuroi and Shiroi then seem to enter red portals and then both appear in his hands via the same type of portal. Then both fighters jumped backwards, only to once more charge into one another only to be put into stasis by some sort of purple aura.
Ms. Goodwitch: Stop this instant you two! Do you not know that fighting or sparring with weapons under school grounds without supervision is prohibites?! I already had to reprimand two other students. And you Jedidaiah Abarres, I thought you were the voice of reason in your gang of hooligans. I'm dissappointed.
Jei: I-*sigh* Sorry.
Zeph: But, look on the bright side, at least we unlocked our semblances right?
Ms. Goodwitch: *briefly glares at Zeph* Anyways, you two must conserve energy as this noon will be the time when the groups will be chosen. I expect no more of this childish behaviour.
Jei: *sad nodding*
Zeph: No promises.
Ms. Goodwitch: *glares at Zeph*
Zeph: Meep!
Mal- o -Vision
I just woke up after that fight earlier. I sense some wierd darkness inside. It kinda feels like a tiny bit of all the bad personalities I had to repress is slightly leaking. That can't be it though, can it? Anyways, I think I should wake Tom up. That guy, somehow slept through all that.
Tom- o -vision
Mike just woke me up. It's around seven in the morning. Ugh, why does it have to be so earl- ooooh right, today is the initiation. So anyways, we joined up with Zeph and Jei into the canteen. There we met Ren and Nora and all five of them started talking about stuff that apparently happened before I woke up. So Zeph and Jei were able to unlock their semblances after trying to murder each other, Mal had his aura unlocked, Mal and Nora fought over which is best pastry and Ren was forced to watch all that trying to report it to Ms. Goodwitch. Other things we talked about were what we should to signal each other. Nora voiced out sloth noises, Ren politely declined, Zeph said morse code, but only both of us remember it, I said writing on the trees and Mike said we wouldn't be able to see those. Eventually we agreed to just do our own thing and let the event flow.
*Timeskip brought to you by a chibi Mike chugging vinegar as everyone else stares in horror and chibi Nora and Chibi Mal chanting drink*
After breakfast, we headed to our lockers to restock our weapons. There we saw a frustrated Jaune holding a map, bump into Ruby and Yang, looking for his weapon locker. But before going to mine, I went to Yang and Ruby.
Tom: *approaching them* Yo guys!
Yang: Oh hey Tom!
Ruby: Hello again!
Tom: So how's it going?
Ruby: Oh, aside from this morning? Nothing much, *smirks at Yang* Yang just said she doesn't want me. *dramatic woe is me pose*
Yang: What! Nonononono! I already said, it's so you could break out of your shell.
Jaune: *sigh* Sisters right?
Tom: I wouldn't know, I'm an only child. Wai-huh?!
Jaune: Name's Jaune Arc, short, sweet, ladies like it.
Tom: Yeah, sure dude. Anyways, weren't you looking for your locker?
Jaune: Oh crap right! *runs away*
Ruby: S-see you Jaune!
Yang: Anyways, see ya! *leaves, stops and then looks back* Hope we become teammates! *wink*
Tom: *blushes* Um, I-yeah ok.
Mal: *doing a little dance* Say there buddy pal chum friend amigo!
Tom: Let me guess, you forgot where our lockers are, didn't you?
Mal: *sullen expression* Yes.
Tom: Okay, let me help you.
Mal: *perks up* Yay!
Jaune- o -Vision
Okay, I think I am nearing locker 636 now. Wait, those two girls seem nice. I guess I'll go talk them. I'm now nearing them and that one with the white hair looks kinda creepy with that scheming face she's making. I guess I need to play hero for the red hair.
Jaune: *walking towards the two girls* Ya know what else is great? Me.
Weiss: And WHO are YOU?
Jaune: Jaune Arc. Nice to meet both of you.
Pyrrha: *hurriedly let's herself be seen* Hey Jaune!
Jaune: I heard you two talkin' about teams. Well, hotstuff, *looks to Pyrrha and leans on a locker* play your cards right and maybe you could join up with the winning team.
Weiss: *separates both of them* Do you have any idea who you're talking to?
Jaune: Not in the slightest, um...
Weiss: Weiss, Weiss Schnee? Heiress of the Schnee Dust company? Does any of that not ring a bell.
Jaune: *clueless shrugging*
Weiss: *scoffs* And SHE'S Pyrrha.
Pyrrha: Hello again!
Weiss: She graduated top at her school in Sanctum.
Jaune: Never heard of it.
Weiss: *scoffs* She's won the Mistral Regions Tournament four years in a row! A NEW RECORD!
Jaune: The what?
Weiss: *angry arm flailing* She's in front of every Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes cover!!
Jaune: *le gasp* That's you?!! But they only do that for star athletes and cartoon characters!!
Pyrrha: Yeah, it was pretty cool. Sadly, the cereal isn't very good for you.
Weiss: *taps Jaune's shoulder harshly* So after hearing all that, do you really think you are in the position to be asking her to be part of your team?
Jaune: I guess not... sorry.
Pyrrha: Well, I think that you'd make a great leader!
Jaune: D' oh! Stop it.
Weiss: Seriously, please stop it. This sort of behaviour should not be encoura- what was that?!
All three of us then saw a light-grey blur zipped through the lockers. Then it abruptly stopped only for us to see a familiar boy. I don't know where I saw him from, but I'm pretty sure he was the one arguing with Weiss yesterday.
Jaune: You okay there kid?
Mal: *pant* Ye. *pant* I *pant* just ran outta *pant* breath.
Jaune: O-oh...
Mal: I'll be going now. Goodbye friend!
Jaune: What was that about? Anyways where was I? Oh right. *holds out hand to Pyrrha* Anyways, let's go m'lady.
Pyrrha: *giggles*
Weiss: (This CANNOT be tolerated.) She'll be MY teammate! *uses Myrtenaster(revolver rapier thingy) and creates massive ice spike which sticks Jaune to a wall.
Pyrrha: Jaune!
Weiss: *pulls Pyrrha away* Come on.
Pyrrha: But, but, but... Jaune
Weiss: *still dragging Pyrrha away* He-he'll be fine.
Pyrrha: I-I... We'll meet later kay?
Jaune: *sigh* Yeah, guess I'll HANG around then... *finger guns Pyrrah then slumps still midair*
And... they left... GREAT! How am I supposed to get my weapon now? Better yet, how long will I have to wait for this ice to melt? How could this get any worse?
Ms. Goodwitch(intercoms): Would all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation? Again, all first year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately.
I shouldn't have asked.
3rd PoV
Yang, Ruby and Tom then pass Jaune and noticed the predicament he was in.
Yang: Having some trouble there, lady killer?
Jaune: I don't understand. My dad said that all women look for is confidence! Where did I go wrong?
Tom: No, I think she meant do you want to get down.
Jaune: Y-yeah that too.
Tom: Hey Yang, Ruby, could you give me a hand here?
Tom and Ruby then supported Yang up as she fires a few rounds at some specific spots of ice spike to weaken it, then punched it till it broke, then Jaune fell to the floor.
Jaune: Th-thanks.
Tom: Anyways, we should go.
Ruby: *helps up Jaune* Come on Jaune, let's go.
Jaune & Tom: Oh crud! MY WEAPON!
Mal then quickly returns, panting once more, but this time holding Tom's Ace and Jaune's Crocea Mors and was shortly joined by Jei and Zeph.
Tom: Thanks dude, you're a life saver. Literally.
Jaune: Yeah, but how'd you know to bring our stuff?
Mal: Well, I kinda knew how that interaction earlier was going to end so yeah.
Ruby: A-anyways, let's all go.
Ms. Goodwitch: Would Ms. Rose, Ms. Xiao Long, Mr. Abarres, Mr. Quezon, Mr. Espina and Mr. Pasabillo please report to the office?
Ruby: R-right, looks like we're needed somewhere else. See ya later Jaune.
Jaune: R-right.
Timeskip brought to you by Chibi King Crimson
The group of six then arrive at the office to find Professor Ozpin sipping his favorite coffee mug with ms. Goodwitch beside him as usual.
Prof. Ozpin: Good noon, I am glad that you six could come here in such short notice.
Ruby: Yeah! It was great!
Zeph: *monotonously* What do you want Prof? If this is about earlier...
Prof. Ozpin: Do not worry, it's not about that... incident. But please, sit down first before we talk.
Yang: Wait, what's going on?
Jei: I dunno but something important seems to be happening.
Then all seven, Ozpin included, sat down on chairs in a circle.
Prof. Ozpin: So if I may be direct, who have you said it to and how much did you say?
Yang: What are you guys talking about?
Jei: So far, MAL here has already let the secret out to certain pancake-loving orange haired girl and black and pink haired dude. Isn't that right Mal?
Mal: I'm sorry, I can't control everything that I say.
Zeph: *monotonous* Man, you suck at coming up with excuses.
Yang: What secret? Stop leaving me in the dark you guys!
Prof. Ozpin: *sigh* Looks like I'll have to join them in our next meeting.
Ruby: Really?! I thought mass hysteria and stuff?! I thought we all agreed to hide it as much as possible.
Yang: Not you too!
Tom: Anyways, profes-
Yang: *goes berserk* WHAT IN HECK IS GOING ON?!!
Prof. Ozpin: *surprised blinking* Wait, you five didn't let her on the secret? Based on how you have been interacting, I thought you did.
Yang: I WILL START BREAKING THINGS IF NO ONE TELLS ME WHAT'S GOING ON!! *calms down* Okay, I'm calm now.
Jei: Okay, okay, sheesh!
Tom: So anyways, I'll start. So in a nutshell, we are from a different dimension.
Yang: *chuckles* Come on guys, is this a massive prank that you guys are setting up on me? Are you the one the planned this Rubes? *playfully elbows Ruby*
Ruby: No we're not sis.
Prof. Ozpin: No one is pulling any pranks.
Mal: And besides, do you really expect someone as serious and boring as Ms. Goodwitch to play along with a prank?
Ms. Goodwitch: *growls* Hmph.
Mal: Meep!
Yang: Oh my Oum, you guys really do come from another place.
Ruby: Yeah we're in a sh-
Mal: *quickly and forcefully covers Ruby's mouth* SHADDAP!!
Yang: OI! Why'd you do that to my sister!
Jei: There are things we're allowed to share, but others that we're not.
Yang: Like what!?
Zeph: We cannot tell you.
Yang: And why not?!
Jei: That's the part that causes hysteria.
Mal: Like it's so bad that it would cause existential crisis to whoever from this world.
Yang: *scoffs* Try me!
Mal: No!
Prof. Ozpin: It's quite alright.
Mal: Huh? But you said-
Prof. Ozpin: I know what I said, but I've given it a lot of thought. But before that, I need to know, *becomes intimidatingly serious* do you promise to guard this secret with your life?
Yang: A-alright. *places hand on heart* I swear.
Prof. Ozpin: Alright, she is now allowed to know. I trust her enough to know.
Zeph: *nods* The reason why we said it would cause mass hysteria is because, where we're from, your world is merely a show. It is an animated series found online. All the events that happen may more or less happen here as well.
Yang: Oh yeah? Prove it.
Zeph: Very well. *pulls out an points Keisho at Yang* Your father is Tai Xiao Long, your mother is Raven Branwen and she left, your uncle is Qrow spelled with a c, your weapon is named Ember Celica and your main semblance triggers are damage and anger. *points Keisho at Ruby* You are Ruby Rose, your mother is different to hers in that it is the deceased Summer Rose, your semblance is speed which is a misnomer as your actual semblance is to actually launch yourself quickly whilst leaving a trail of roses petals. Your weapon is Crescent Rose, your favorite food is cookies and your pet is named Zwei.
Yang's eyes then widen in shock at the reveal.
Mal: However! There seems to be more bad guys in general in comparison to the show, therefore we can say that this is less likely a replay of the original show and more of a more difficult alternate timeline. Oh and something he forgot to tell you was that Oum in our reality is no deity, he is just an awesome director and animator. Oh and he's dead.
Yang: You're right. *heavy exhale* This really would've cause widespread panic if this were made public. Ruby, how are you holding up with this?
Ruby: Well, I mean, I had a week to think it over and I just thought, we're not the show. The show was based on us. Maybe Oum actually just saw our world somehow and just thought "Hey their lives look cool. What if I show something like this to people?"
Mal: Besides, what happened so far was already slightly different from the show already. It'll only differentiate even more from here on out.
Prof. Ozpin: Now, I think that you all should go now. The initiation will soon start.
Mal: Wait, shouldn't you be there as well?
Prof. Ozpin: Don't worry. *smiles* We will catch up.
Tom: Yang?
Yang: *snaps out of trance* Yeah?
Tom: I can sympathize with the feeling of having to take in that much. When we got thrown here, me and Jei over there *looks at Jei who was at the moment dragging an unconscious(from being chopped in the neck) Mal* didn't know the first thing to this world. And we were suddenly forced to fight, despite never having to seriously do so before.
Yang: Oh, don't worry bout lil' ol' me.
Tom: Okay, just don't let it get to you okay?
Yang: I won't. Thanks for the concern though. *smiles reassuringly*
Tom: Okay that's good. *pats Yang on the shoulder*
Time skip brought to you by Mal Naruto running across a desert area....
Prof. Ozpin: For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest.
Mal(inside mind): Oh crud! The bit after this is barely shown except for the tiny clips.
Mal's train of thought was broken by Ms. Goodwitch talking.
Ms. Goodwitch: Now, I'm sure that many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of "teams". Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teams... today.
Ruby: What?! Oooh...
Prof. Ozpin: These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired up with someone you can work well with.
Ruby: *groans*
Prof. Ozpin: That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years.
Ruby: WHAAAAAAT?!!
Mal: *talks to self* (Huh, I was sure that us being here would change what they would say.)
Nora: *talks to Ren* See? Told you! *looks at the four* Oh look it's alien pancake friends! Hello there!
Tom: We are not E.T.!!!
Prof. Ozpin: After you have partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in you path... or you will die.
Zeph: *grins maniacally* RIP AND TEAR!!
Jaune: *nervous laughing* *gulp*
Prof. Ozpin: You will be monitored and graded through the duration of your intiation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. You will guard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?
Jaune: Yeah, um sir?
Prof. Ozpin: GOOD! Now take your positions.
Everyone then starts to take stances. Tom quickly reloads his Ace then takes a Luffy pose, Zeph cocks the bolt of Hush and , Mal opens small compartments in his shields and then loads in various varieties of Dust, and Jed turns Kuroi and Shiroi into Nightingale.
Jaune: Uh, sir. I've got, um... a question?
Mal: *taps Jaune with Sol(his shield)* Dude, if you are going to ask Professor Ozpin about landing strategies, then all I can say is that no we won't be using parachutes and on how we will survive, ♪I'll do it♪ *gets launched* ♪MY WAAAAAAAAYY!!!♪
While in midair...
Mal o -Vision
Whaaaaa!!!! I forgot I am terrified of heeeeeiiight!! Huh? Wait, is that a swarm of tiny nevermores?!! OH CRUD! *nevermore swarm hits his shield*

Afterthots:
I changed some bits of the RWBY canon. Yes, I made Jaune less dense. Yes, I made Weiss creep out Jaune, my reasoning behind this decision is because I have... plans, so he has only ever seen Weiss now. His first impression of her is that of a creepy villain type, this also saves him from many, many moments of heartbreak. Also the Ozpin mode is just Michael copying Professor Ozpin's mannerisms and not him being possessed by the guy. I mean *chuckles* it's not like Ozpin can do that *nervous chuckling*.
