~BEGIN~

Team RWBY was currently training in a portion of the Emerald Forest otherwise known as Beacon Academy's hunting grounds. Their training involved killing Creatures of Grimm in a relatively controlled environment in preparation for going out in the field and doing the same thing.

"Okay gang! We only have one of these baddies left, so let's make this attack spectacular!" The well-known leader Ruby Rose practically squealed.

"Gotcha sis! Just tell me where to hit 'em and they won't see it coming!" The carefree half-sister of Ruby, Yang Xiao Long, said with macabre enthusiasm.

"Just make sure you get it right this time. I'd rather not end up in the infirmary a second time this month," Weiss Schnee warned.

"I wonder if an Aura infused projectile would work..." Blake Belladonna, the reasonably cautious one mused to herself. There was only one way to find out, though, as Ruby, using her Semblance in tandem with Weiss' ice glyphs, shot forward immensely fast, the scythe easily decapitating the Grimm, an Ursa Major.

"Man, that was out of this world! Awesome job, Rubes!" Yang congratulated her sister. Little did she know, 'Out of this world' was particularly accurate in describing how things would get for them in the near future.

On Earth, we find two people walking along, engaging in a heated debate as they walked to their destination. Given how far their destination currently was, it didn't seem like it would end any time soon.

"I'm telling you, dude! I got a 30 hit combo!" The boy speaking was of average height and size for his age, but had dark rings around his eyes that indicated that he didn't get much sleep.

The other teen, who was around the same height with black hair and similar complexion to the first retorted, "The day you hit 30c is the day I run down the street in nothing but a popcorn thong!"

"You come out with the freakiest things, Aiden," the brunette said.

"I am who I am R," Aiden countered. They both laughed at their funny way of talking.

"Hey, did yo-" R was cut short by the ground starting to violently shake.

"Get down!" Aiden yelled as they hit the ground, covering their heads with their hands to shield from falling debris.

"Is it an earthquake?!" R yelled over the rumbling. Aiden was just as confused as R. Since when did earthquakes happen in this part of the country?

When the rumbling finally subsided a few minutes later they both stood up cautiously.

"S-should we check it out?" Aiden asked, still in shock.

"I-im not sure. Given our location an earthquake should be impossible, or at least not remotely as strong as that was," R said with heavy concern.

After a few minutes of getting their thoughts collected, the duo went off the path they were following and into the dense forest of their ancient country.

A few minutes later…

"You know, most peopled would have given up and tried shrugging it off by this point," Aiden causally stated.

"And most people would have been left clueless," R countered.

"They still wouldn't know after looking though," Aiden deadpanned.

However, while they were wandering bored and tired they had stumbled into a very dark clearing.

"…Okay, maybe we should leave," Aiden nervously said. R, however, was more focused on the center of the clearing because in the center was a constantly dissolving and undulating mound of fur with an array of Auras.

This, of course, did not bother our highly questionable students as within half a minute their human nature got the better of them and were poking the 'mound' with some sticks, which never lead to anything bad with anyone else before them.

"Very squishy," R said while Aiden nodded in agreement. But before they could back away the Auras shot up through the sticks they were holding and into their bodies, knocking them both unconscious.

All R could see was an all-consuming darkness, the kind that one would expect thousands of feet under the ocean, where there was no light whatsoever. But it wasn't the darkness that scared him the most.

It was the voices.

"Eric? Eric?! ERIC!?" He was being harassed by screeching, harpy-like voices screaming his name. At first, all he could do was listen and hope that they would stop, but eventually his body fully materialized, and after taking a massive breath of air, started to scream back at the voices.

"Shut up shut up, SHUT THE F*** UP!" he screamed into the darkness, but to no avail. After what seemed like an eternity, the voices subsided, and he saw that he and Aiden (Where did he come from?) were floating towards a mass of shifting colors. It was so soothingly beautiful, he could practically fall asleep looking at it…

Back in the world of the living, however, only one sentence was worthy of taking note of: "Sir! We have detected an anomaly."
