Qrow - "Gotta give Jimmy credit, that knockout gas worked like a charm, thanks for smuggling it into the dorm room kids!"

Cinder - "You ungrateful, traitorous, little wretches! After everything I did for you? What did that annoying, little goody two shoes blonde bint offer you that I didn't?!?"

Mercury - "She made me cookies, and told me I could be anything I wanted to be!"

Cinder - "COOKIES?"

Mercury - *munch* "To be fair, these are the best things I've ever eaten." *munch*

Cinder - "And you, Neo? Why did you turn on me after I threatened you and Roman into working for me?"

Neo - *Holds Up Sign*

Cinder - "What do you mean it should be obvious?!?"

Neo - *Sighs*

Cinder - "And what do you have to say for yourself, Emerald? Why did you betray me after I invested so much time and fake affection into you?!?"

Emerald - "Well......"

*Fade into room where Lilac is being held*
​

Lilac - "And that's why you deserve genuine love and affection from the people in your life!"

Emerald - "But, where am I supposed to find someone like that to have in my life? I'm obviously not good at it with how easily Cinder fooled me!"

Lilac - "Oh, that's easy! My brother is a wonderful young man, and best of all he doesn't have anyone special in his life since he parted ways with his girlfriend Katey, because they wanted different things in life. Here, let me show yousome photos from the last harvest since you gave me my scroll back, and I'm finished talking to my mother. Boy, it sure was hot that day!"

Emerald - "Oh, wow...."

*Shift over to the Beacon Gym*
​

Nora - "You crushed Yang's record from last week P-money, here have a drink!"

Pyrrha - "It's nothing special Nora, it's just hard work and......."

*Pyrrha shudders, and crushes the can in her hand, while the weights in the room start rattling*
​

Pyrrha - "ANOTHER ONE?!?!"

Given how RWBY is one of the best examples of "love the concept, hate the execution" any fanon worldbuilding projects for an unnamed continent?

I was thinking it being disconnected and backwards rather than being only the grimlands. With a population of literal caveman who may or may not be some kind of abandoned eugenics project.

I also had a semi-related idea for a prompt where one of the new students was in his late 20s and only there to get proper paperwork due to being a feral child who grew into a wondering barbarian grimslayer and unlicensed hunter.

He may or may not be a sadist who found the limits of mutilating a grim just to turn it into a living cloak-trophy.

All I really have is a name for it: Tenebrae.

 

[SharkCultist]

Salem was immortal. This was known to Ozpin.

What he did not know was he wasn't truly fighting Salem.

A human wasn't meant for godly power and immortality doesn't change that.

So before her sanity left her Salem had crafted herself a false body, as close to her original as she could make it.

Separating herself from the power and desire for destruction and hatred that dwelled inside that power.

And for a time it worked, she even had made the false body well enough that she could bare child.

But eventually all things come to an end.

Her false bodies end came at the hands of RWBY jnr, ozcar, and a horde of disposable pawns.

Her mind snapped back to her true body and she drowned in a sea of negativity.

In the bottom of the largest Grimm pool her mutated body writhed and thrashed it's way to the surface.

It was big. Miles and Miles of corrupted flesh and bone. From the mid chest up was paper white skin stretched over bone, so tight in some places that the skin had torn, her eyes solid black bulging orbs from a head that had random spikes of bones forcing themselves out wherever they could (some even pressing into the eyeballs), long white hair that moves and writhed like snakes that extended well past her feet and dragged behind her reaching for whatever it could to crush and strangle.

She was bare of clothes but some of her modesty was preserved by many ribbon like strands of skin hanging from her waist like some sick parody of a shredded gown.

She was already a horror show but the worst of it? The one part of her body not skeletally thin. Her stomach area bulged and sloshed, with all manner of limb pushing against it from the inside. Horns, hands, claws, tentacles, wings. Anything and everything pushed against the rotten womb that contained them, and occasionally they would succeed. The skin of her stomach ripping and pouring out misshapen amalgamated Grimm before sealing shut so the process could begin again.

Remnant had hoped to kill Salem. They had succeeded. Her mind had died under the onslaught of darkness and all that remained were echoes. Her rage, her hatred, and perhaps the one positive aspect she had taken and twisten into something horrible. The desire to be a mother.

Salem was dead. Only Tiamat The Mother Of Monsters remained.

Weiss and Ruby love Jaune like a brother and want him to marry into their family so it is official. So both they start trying to sell Jaune on the idea of dating their sisters like a couple of used car salesmen.

THE PATH TO HEAVEN second part

Vacuo Wastes : Present Day

The desert wind howled like a wounded beast, dragging threads of smoke across dunes shattered by old wars. A lone figure walked through the storm.

His cloak was torn by years of battle, his armor hidden beneath dust and time.
Long blond hair whipped across a face etched not with scars but with age and stress, quiet, weary, resolute. He moved like a knight out of a forgotten tale.

Jaune Arc. Kabuto. To his enemies The Rusted Rider, to the people he saved he is the second coming of the Rusted knight.
A low chittering vibrated through the sand.
Jaune stopped.

The creature emerged from beneath the dunes, humanoid at first glance, but its joints bent backward, its eyes flickering with stolen life. A Worm disguised in discarded flesh. It lunged. Jaune didn't bother to sigh. "Clock up."

The Kabuto Zecter answered his voice with a bright, metallic cry.
Time split. Sound fell away. The desert froze, grains of sand hanging like tiny shards of glass.
Jaune moved once. When time snapped back, the Worm fell apart in three dissolving pieces.

Kabuto's armor shattered away in a burst of red light, leaving Jaune once more in his weathered cloak. He crouched near the Worm's fading remains, brushing the dust from his gloves.
"They're getting bolder," he murmured.
The Zecter buzzed in affirmation.

A flicker of artificial light caught his attention.
An old relay tower—broken but still clinging to life, sputtered awake. Jaune turned as the screen stabilized, grainy, distorted… and then painfully clear.

A cheerful host smiled into a camera.
"Joining us today is champion Pyrrha Nikos—and her boyfriend, Jaune Arc!"
Jaune's breath stilled.

Beside Pyrrha sat a young man, blonde, smiling, confident. All Jaune can see is his height, his voice, his face. But to him its wrong, too perfect, too empty. A Worm wearing his name. Pyrrha leaned into the double, laughing. "We're so excited for Beacon."

Jaune reached out, touching the screen with gloved fingers, softly, almost reverently.
"They're stealing my life again," he whispered.
The Kabuto Zecter clicked angrily.

Jaune nodded once.
"No more running, guess i need to call Cinder, to tell her there are change of plans." He crushed the transmitter underfoot and walked toward the sunrise. Toward the kingdom where his stolen face waited.

Toward Beacon.

Solitas Tundra: That Same Night

The wind here was colder. Harsher. It felt like punishment.

Weiss Schnee stumbled through the blizzard, each breath a blade in her lungs. She held a silver case tight to her chest, knuckles white, boots slipping across the ice. Behind her came the metallic roar of SDC drones.

"Unauthorized access detected. Surrender, Weiss Schnee." She didn't stop. She couldn't.

Her mind conjured the memory she wished she could forget: Rows of human bodies under glass. Strapped down, changing, molting, becoming something else.

Experiments funded by her own family.
She clutched the case harder. Inside, the Drake Zecter trembled as if sensing her fear. "I won't let them use this," Weiss whispered. "I won't let them use me."

A drone's spotlight cut through the storm.
Weiss ran. Not out of bravery, but because turning back meant becoming one of them. She didn't look behind her again.

Patch: Years Earlier

Yang Xiao Long would never forget the sound of her sister screaming. Not crying. Not in pain. Screaming as if something else had its hands inside her, twisting.

Ruby writhed on the floor, her small body distorting, skin shimmering, bones shifting beneath the surface. Her eyes burned crimson-orange, glowing like molten metal, but if you were to look closer you could almost see a flicker of a sliver light.

Segmented armor burst across her limbs.
Her arms split into bladed stingers.
A long, curved tail unfurled from her spine, tipped with a scarlet barb that dripped venom-like aura. A female Scorpió-Worm wearing her sister's heartbeat.

"Ruby!" Yang cried, stepping forward. "Fight it, please..." Ruby struck, blindingly fast. Yang caught her, but the impact drove her across the room, feet gouging trenches into the floor. Sparks flew from her aura. "Ruby, come back! It's me!"

Ruby screamed, an inhuman, echoing shriek, and then collapsed. The transformation dissolved like melting glass. In seconds, she was just Ruby again, small and unconscious in Yang's shaking arms. Then a soft gasp.

Amber, the Fall Maiden, heavily injured walking on a limp, stood in the doorway, horrified.
"Yang… what is she?" Yang didn't answer.
Amber's fear grew. "I....I have to tell Ozpin. She's not human. She's not..."

The air ignited. Amber tried to summon her magic, but Yang was faster.

The fight was short. The collapse was silent. When it was over, Yang stood trembling, Ruby pressed to her chest, surrounded by flickering golden fire of the new Fall Maiden.

She stared at her glowing hands, horror and guilt clawing at her chest. "I'm sorry," she whispered to Amber's still form.
She held Ruby closer. "No one will ever touch you. I won't let them."

Present Day: Airship to Beacon

Yang jolted awake. The hum of the engines surrounded her. Students chattered. The sky was bright. Beacon grew larger on the horizon. Ruby sat beside her, swinging her legs, smiling beneath her hood. "Morning! You were out like a light." Yang managed a laugh. "Yeah. Big day."
Ruby tilted her head. "What were you dreaming about?"

Yang looked at her, at the girl she had killed for, lied for, nearly lost to something inhuman.
A faint shimmer pulsed beneath Ruby's skin—silver, red, gone in an instant.

Yang forced her smile to stay. "Nothing important." Ruby grinned and looked out the window, bouncing with excitement.
Yang watched her quietly, heart aching.

As long as you stay Ruby…
As long as no one ever finds out what you really are… I'll protect you from the world.
She reached over and squeezed Ruby's hand.
"Welcome to Beacon, sis."

Outside, unseen from above, a lone wanderer in a tattered cloak,carrying a stolen destiny,approached the same kingdom.
Jaune Arc walked toward the life that no longer belonged to him.
