It was a normal day in Emerald Forest birds were singing a cheerful melody and squirrels were scrambling the ground for acorns. All was somewhat peaceful in the forest until the blood-curdling growl of a Beowolf was heard and the sound of weapons hitting their targets.

A group of young women with questionable clothes for combat were fighting the creatures of Grimm with excellent teamwork and skill. The team was on patrol until they came across a mysterious structure a large amount of Grimm were lazing around for an unknown reason. The leader was a girl with a black dress, red cloak, silver eyes, and a mixture of black and red hair were blocking the uncoordinated attacks of the dark wolves, she paid them fully by simply slashing the monsters in half and beheading them. Once the Beowolves were seemingly killed if they were even alive in the first place vaporized into a mist.

"We need to end this quickly before more come!" Ruby yelled out to her team as she used her semblance to create a small whirlwind, throwing the monster off their feet just by speed alone.

"What do you think we have been trying to do ever since the fight started you dolt!" Weiss yelled back as she shot an ice round at a couple of Grimm. However, amidst the chaos, a Beowulf stealthily crept behind Weiss and lunged at her attempting to get a mouthful of her flesh but was quickly impaled through the head by Blake.

"Less talking more fighting I want to get this patrol over with," Blake said blandly to the Heiress which earned her a glare. Weiss was about to shoot a reply back but was cut off by a small explosion which belonged to a certain blonde.

If you haven't already guessed Yang was that blonde and she was fighting a pack of Beowolves like she was a monster herself. Yang was punching holes into the monsters and breaking their bone covered face with little to no effort. Once she made short work of the wolves, a Beringel growled lowly as he walked slowly towards Yang. The monster beats its chest and roared at Yang. Yang cracked a cocky grin. "Challenge accepted big guy." Yang said as she rushed up to the monstrous ape. The two locked hands with each other trying to overpower one another. After a couple of seconds, the Beringel seemed to be getting weaker and weaker until finally trying to escape the blonde student's iron grasp. Yang smirked and only tightened her grip, she starts swinging the monster in circles until letting him fly in the air like a rag doll. "What do you call an exploding ape?" Yang asked. All three of them groaned in response. "Ugh... What Yang?" Weiss said. "A Baboom!" Yang said as she jumped in the air to unleash a solid combo of punches until the Beringel's body exploded into pieces.

"I should have known." Weiss said as she watched Yang land on the ground. Now that the threat was taken care of everyone began to slowly and cautiously walk near the structure. "Now that I'm looking at it with no distractions... it doesn't even look like a structure... it's more like an ever-changing floating liquid. Blake explained as she stared at the strange object just like her teammates. "Could this be some weird Atlas technology?" Ruby asked. Weiss had a confused look on her face she wondered if Ruby was trying to call her out but dismissed the idea. "Yeah Ruby, Atlas would just dump out their scientific projects in a forest... in Vale... near Beacon Academy..." Weiss said in a sarcastic tone. Ruby stared blankly at Weiss. "So... that is yes... right?" Ruby asked.

Weiss huffed. "What do you think you do..." She stopped mid-sentence and stared at the liquid in amazement although her team did not share the same opinion. Ruby jumped and The liquid was morphing rapidly into different shapes and sizes, changing to a cube to even an octagon. Team RWBY readied their weapons and were in a fighting stance to prepare for whatever will happen next.

The tension in the air was heavy and the whole spectacle only lasted for a full minute but for Weiss, it felt like she was staring at the object for hours anticipating its next shape until the object suddenly froze. Yang was the first to break the eerie silence. "...I think we should report this to Ozpin." Yang said to her teammates not letting her eyes leave sight of the object. Just when Blake was going to respond the object made strange rumbling sounds and began changing its matter into the wood. The wood then flattened itself out and stood up vertically to finish it off a knob was quickly formed to finish it off. All of the girls were taken back by how the object morphed into a door. At that moment it was like the forest itself went silent and stared at the door that seemed otherworldly.

Blake and Weiss had so many questions zooming around in their head while Ruby was getting anxious. Yang noticed the change in her little sister's mood and decided to stand by Ruby's side to somewhat build her confidence up.

The door slammed open and a massive hand that looked like it was made of shadows shot out and grabbed Weiss, she swung her rapier around frantically out of pure shock at how fast the hand was. "Weiss! No!" Ruby screamed out as she used her semblance to speed up to Weiss to save her. Yang was right behind Ruby with her gauntlets, Ember Cecilia ready and Blake shot dust at the hand attempting to at least slow it down. However, it was all too late as soon as the hand went through the door filled with darkness it slammed shut.

Ruby tried to slow down but ended up hitting her face on the door, falling flat on her back. Yang rushed up and punched the wooden door in anger, her eyes were flaming red. "Weiss!? Weiss!" Ruby stood up and yelled at the door. She was in disbelief at what just happened. No this has to be some bad... no terrible dream... this can't be real. Ruby thought to herself hoping this experience was only some meaningless dream because she ate too many cookies before bed, she pinched herself and closed her eyes. When Ruby opened her eyes the creepy door was still there and her teammate was still gone.

Blake was the first one to recover. "Hey, guys! We need to report this to Ozpin, NOW!" Blake said anxiously. Yang took her gaze from the door to see her little sister staring at the door. "Come on Ruby! Snap out of it! We don't have time for this!" Yang shook Ruby out of her shock.

Ruby stood up looked at Yang and Blake. "Yeah... let's go." Ruby said.

If Weiss can describe what she felt during... whatever this is. Weiss would say that she felt like she was a ragdoll being slung around by a child through the mud. The arm was starting to slow down and she could see a light in the distance in front of her. "Where are you taking me?!" Weiss yelled. Of course, there was no response from the arm this only angered her. "I want an answer now!" Weiss said angrily. As Weiss yelled she was carelessly slung through the light hitting the stone floor hard. Weiss groaned in pain, she slowly stood up and looked at her surroundings. First off... by the looks of it... I'm in a primitive building. Weiss thought as she saw paintings, candles, and decorations so old no one in Remnant would put up.

"How dare you think so badly of my décor human." A deep voice boomed in Weiss's ear. She quickly unsheathed her weapon and scanned the area for the enemy but to no avail. "Show yourself!" Weiss said. A man... no, it was not a man it looked like a skeleton with a navy blue robe with yellow-tipped sleeves showed himself out of the shadows. "My name is Hypno Baron and welcome to my castle... Weiss Schnee." Hypno Baron welcomed.
