Purple crystal sprouting from the ground with strange tar pools spread around a barren wasteland. A dark red sky is the only color given to the wastes while the shattered moon gives it light. The only sounds come from a rasping breathing. The sound comes from a woman wearing a torn a white hood with high-neck décolletage blouse with studded wristbands on her left arm, a black and white overbust corset, a skirt with white tulle underneath all now covered in blood. The lower half of her body was ripped apart with her right arm slice off. She starts to cough up blood all while trying to open her eyes.
"So, this is what happened to you." A familiar voice said. The woman turns her head to where the voice came from. "If you wish to see your daughters again, I can help you. For a price." The woman didn't even think about it, she just reached out her arm which met a clawed hand. "You will see them, I promise."
Ruby wakes up with a gasps. Ruby looks around the room she's been staying in and notices her team has already left. "(Sigh) The heck was that about?" Ruby says as she places a hand on her head for support. She heads to the dresser and starts getting dressed, as she does she remembers what happened the night before.
Grim left before the girl now known as Xion turned to everyone who had the most confused look. She gives off a sigh before looking at them. "Okay, here we go." She explained what had happened in the story so far to the additional guest. This would lead to more questions if it wasn't for the fact she explained that she read the story after it was finished while she was at school. She then asked the group if they had any questions.
"How are you related to Grim?" "How does Grim have 20 kids?" "Who is Zone-Tan?" "How did he brought us here from our beds?" "What happened to you?" "Why does he look like a grimm?" "How does he have this story?" "Where are we?" "Where did he go?" Were the only ones that Ruby, everyone had questions and they were taking it out on the poor girl.
"Well, I'm adopted after I died… Honestly I don't know what happened, all I know is that when I woke up I looked like this and Grim took me in. Also I'm not at liberty to tell you how my siblings were made. Zone-Tan? Let's not talk about her." That last part had a hit of blush for some reason. "Now how he looks like a grimm is a long story. He is friends with the author. We are in a dimensional marble that exists in dad's realm. And he went to a friend's realm to make sure my siblings don't do anything too crazy while they invade." Xion finished, with surprise looks on everyone's face before Yang asked.
"You got all that?"
"I had to deal with 20 siblings, you learn to tone in everybody's questions at once." Xion said in a deadpanned tone. "Alright, so you are free to your own devices. The door will open any room through that command terminal." Xion said as she walked away leaving everyone confused.
I took some time before Sienna spoke up. "Alright, where can I find some clothes?" Blake would lead everyone new to the rooms.
Ruby sighed as she walked out the door now dressed. She wearing a dark blue shirt with a camo skirt and the same jacket from yesterday. She opens the door to the main room where she sees everyone else.
Weiss is wearing blue jeans and a white blouse. Blake has a black sweater dress and maroon legging. Yang a white tank top under a blue jean jacket and matching short shorts. Jaune has a blue shirt under a black open hoodie and grey sweatpants. Nora in a black v top with a white rooster and a wide up choppers with short shorts. Pyrrha in a simple maroon jacket and black yoga pants. And Ren black button down under a green sweat with gold thread around the neck and white jeans.
Coco somehow found her normal gear without her weapon. Velvet has a black shirt under a chocolate suit, light brown shorts and black leggings. Sun has his gear minus the bracers. Penny white blouse with a pink neck bow and an overall shirt. Neo has a white shirt with black text saying RTX 2018 while having torn short shorts. Sienna has a black tank top and black jeans.
The had also changed from a living room setting to a personal movie theater, though the seats were like those of the luxury theaters. Ruby takes a seat next to Penny on her left and Yang on her right. She noticed Blake eating her eggs as memories of what happened between them last time came to thought.
Ruby got a message from Blake asking to meet at the library. Ruby waited by grabbing a black book called 'The Darkest Dungeon of Remnant'. She thought it was strange but soon noticed it was from the same writer as ROSG and began to read the first chapter. She was at the part where Dismas cut the woman's hand off when Blake came in. Ruby noticed light hand marks on Blake's wrist and jumped to her friend. "Blake, are you alright?"
Blake looked confused until she noticed the marks. "It's fine. Me and Sienna need to talk." Blake turned away. Though she wanted to tell her leader about what happened, it was a topic that was between her and Sienna. "I have something to ask. How did you feel when you attacked Vulpes and led Jeannie May to her death?"
Ruby thought about it. "Vulpes, I don't know. I released it was me due to the sound of the 10mm Weathered. But Jeannie May, when I found out about everything a part of me wanted her dead." Ruby admitted which shocked Blake. "But like Grim said, we killed before." She then turned to her teammate. "Why do you ask?"
Blake's mind was already made up to tell Ruby but her broken trust prevented her from doing so. "Just wanted to know." Blake then left a very confused Ruby who then turned back to her book.
"So, you'll head into the second arc of the start. But dad wanted you to watch this before it begins." Xion said before a new opening begins to play.
Play "Touch Off" by UVERworld

DoG starts tearing a ghost person to bits before showing GoD picking something up. Dean with a smug look on his face with someone wearing security armor cross arms, behind him.
Though everyone backs away at the scared nighkin, while Nora notices the security armored individual missing their right ring and pinky finger. 'Must be the one from the first opening.' She thought as she backs away from a very green Jaune.
(Look! There is no god to pray to. And no star to wish upon. but still can't give up hope.)
Christine staring at a distance, before showing her working on a terminal then blocking the screen with her hand.

A lineup board of everyone from left to right. Six with a piss off look, Ruby who has a serious look, DoG/GoD glaring forward, Dean with his smug ass grin and Christine holding up a middle finger.
Everyone gave a laugh at the light hearted content in the opening.

Security armor holding a preserve rose close to their chest before tossing it away.
Sienna could already feel that this character would not only be connected to Blake's leader but most likely the love interest. Sienna now trying to figure who it could be.
(Even the tiniest spark. Can start a raging fire. So I'll keep this way, going towards the future.)
Security armor pulls out a detective pistol, Dean popping his knuckles as DoG/GoD pulls on his chain, Christine sharpening a knife.
Sienna makes a smug look, while Neo does the same for different reasons.
(It's only a few centimeters more. To the place we want to reach. That's why we can't stop now. NaX10)
Ruby and Six rushing the streets while dodging and shooting at ghost people.
Now seeing them not being torn apart by DoG/GoD, an uncomfortable feeling climbing their spines.

A vault door blasted open and everyone walked into it showing gold, weapons and ect.

Shows a heist table with blueprints of the Sierra Madre with the corners holding it up by shades, a chain, a knife, a smoke tray and in the center is the preserve rose, laser pistol and a single gold brick.
"Okay, that was something." Ruby said. She then turns to Xion who is already starting the next chapter. She looks around and spots that everyone was wondering what kind of mood the story will be. But one thing is for sure, a weird voice is heard. It only said two words. "Let's Heists".
"Hey everyone, I don't have a lot of time at the moment. Combine's bosses agreed to a cease fire for a meeting between leaders and I have to make sure everything goes while. So I'll answer these quick."
From Wombag1786: Yeah, while last night events will be shown through out the arc. And thanks. Also if things go while, you and Pele will be in the same building again.
Thanks for writing Wombag1786
From Combine177: We already had a talk about destroying someones else's realm with a fucking bomb! Let's be glad it was taken care of.
Thanks for writing Combine177
From Guest: Oh, trust me. They'll have an outlet for their blood lust for the other.
Thanks for writing Guest
From Carre: Sounds cool. You said your from Sweden right? Ever heard of Poets of the Fall?
Trust me, I have plans for the JNPR hock ups.
I'll do that when I return.
No, it was a Ten Little Roosters references.
Good for you. But I can only do Blackjack.
Pokemon, Pocket Monsters is the Japanese title. But 2/3 is still good guess.
Yeah, I was planning on bring Sienna later but my brain said go early.
Thanks for writing Carre
From Therecklessone: That's what I hear to. I think this chapter answer that question. That just so happen to be a gift for her. Honestly I believe that they do have horror movies for the same reason we do, to make our hearts racing and adrenaline pumping.
Thanks for writing Therecklessone
Snowballs FF: I'm going to answer all three reviews here. First off, I do read through them but I believe my brain puts them in a way to put it to where I understand it. As for my writing, as I said in a earlier chapter I haven't wrote anything in two years, it's a slow climb for me. Also thank you on the complement. And also Google Drive doesn't see Lotus as a word for some reason. If you think I need some help want to be my Beta Reader?
Thanks for writing Snowballs FF
"Alright, bye."
As Grim leaves an Attack Moon heads to the world where the meeting is about to take place. Only a single sound can be heard in the space between it and the planet. "Waaagh!"
