A/N: Still not fond of having to put notes at the tops of stories, so I'll keep this brief. This takes place after RWBY Volume 1, and after Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. As you should be expecting if you're familiar with my crossovers, don't expect me to stick to the stations of RWBY's canon.

Ruby Rose fell through darkness.

There hardly seemed a difference between having her eyes open or closed, but she thought they were open. Was she upright? Sinking underwater? Flying through space? There was only the inky blackness all around.

Then, tiny pinprick of light glimmered before her. Below? Above? Ahead? She couldn't tell, but miniscule as the light was, it pushed back the dark surrounding it, and Ruby found that she was not alone. Her team was here with her, flying or falling too, all with their eyes closed.

The time has come and yet you stand alone

Quite suddenly, Ruby was standing on a beach, on an island she had never seen before. She was alone, and not. Glancing down, Ruby thought that she was her whole team. She saw her own hands, and Weiss', and Blake's, and Yang's. She was RWBY; they were Ruby.

Now five people stood before her.

To her left, a boy with wild, spiky brown hair, and a boy with upright, spiky blond hair. They had nearly the same face, like twins, with eyes blue like the summer sky. To her right, a girl with short red hair, and a girl with long blonde hair. They, too, had near-identical faces, and blue eyes like the sea.

Directly in front of her, facing away, was a boy with fine, silver hair that reached past his shoulders.

The enemy is mighty and too strong

The blonde girl looked at her. She smiled. Her lips moved, but there was no sound. And yet, the words seemed to echo through Ruby's mind. "Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I".

She glanced at the blond boy, and smiled again. Ruby followed her gaze, and the boy, too, spoke silently. "Snoitome eurt deen I".

The boy in the middle turned to face Ruby as well, his face seemingly warring between emotions.

Smiling, the two blonds each took the hand of their 'twin', and with a flash of light, seemed to merge and vanish. The remaining boy and girl each raised a hand to their heart, neatly mirrored. Then their eyes locked, and they embraced, visibly surrounded by a column of swirling motes of light. Both of them seemed to whisper, and again the words came drifting on the wind. "Snwod dna spu ynam os…".

Without any help you will lose on your own

The third boy watched with a bittersweet smile, tears that seemed at once joyous and sorrowful welling in his eyes, unshed. The lights surrounding the happy couple seemed to form the shape of a star before they and the people vanished. A small bundle of three star-shaped fruits fell from his hand, unseen. He looked her straight in the eye, and like the others, spoke without sound. "My heart's a battleground".

Darkness like that she'd been falling through seemed to pool around his feet, reaching up to envelop his feet and legs. A light shone on him from above, but the darkness didn't retreat. If anything, it just grew stronger as the light did.

No!

RubyWeissBlakeYang reached for him, to pull him to safety.

He too, raised a hand to his chest. The light and darkness bathing him seemed evenly matched. Balanced.

So you call out for me to come along

His hand closed on hers.

A/N: Yet another idea that wouldn't go away. Though really, I think it's a sensible enough idea; you can cross over pretty much anything with Kingdom Hearts. Suffice to say, though, that this kind of got out of control. More details to follow.

This was my best effort at a bullshitty Kingdom Hearts-style dream sequence. Sorry it's not very good.
