i awoke in an unfamiliar place. it was dull, and seemed to extend for miles. there was a castle nearby, and, seeing as it was the only real point of interest, decided to explore. once i got inside, several black skeletons attacked me. of course i swiftly offed them with Black Blade. as i made my way through the castle, more and more skeletons, as well as some stronger enemies. after I make it to what i assume to be the top of the castle, I am met with a person who looks oddly similiar to Yomi. somehow, i knew there name, Dead Master. without a word, Dead Master held her hand out, and summoned a familiar scythe... Dead Scythe.

two skulls with a green aura started floating at me, and I quickly swung Black Blade down on the skull, barely denting it. 'how strong is that skull' i thought. then somebody blasted the skull with a gun of sorts. looking in the direction the shot came in, i saw a person who looked almost exactly like me. bluish black hair, blue eye's with the eye circles. she even had the exact same outfit as i did. she had similiar scars on her midriff, and was weilding ★Rock cannon. the women blinked at me, seemingly in confusion.

I quickly jumped to the side to barely avoid Dead Masters scythe. I quickly started summoning my ★Rock Cannon. the other person seemed a bit shocked, but seemed to understand that the summoning of the cannon takes a while. the other skull attacks me, and I raised my sword, and my eye caught on fire. i swung my sword down, and while it didn't destroy the skull, it did dent and stun it, giving me the time needed to fully summon my massive cannon. i didn't have a shot charged, but the sheer mass of the cannon was more than enough to bludgeon the skull to pieces.

i look back over at the me look-alike and Dead Master. Dead Master was standing over the other girl, holding her scythe in a way that, when swung down, would definetly kill. i held my cannon up, it now having a charge, and i pulled the trigger. a red light filled the cannon, and the whirring of the cannon filled the room. Dead Master looked at me as i released the trigger of the oversized cannon. She couldn't dodge, and as such was blown into the wall. The other girl went up, and cut the horned girl in half with her Black Blade. the body of Dead Master faded from existence.

"who are you" I heard. i looked towards the only other person in the room. "you're human, yet you weild my powers, explain" she said without moving her mouth. "Ruby, I'm Ruby Rose" I said, "you". "my name... is Black Rock Shooter. and I'm suprised. you haven't attempted to kill me. in this place that's rare, so i guess that merits a thanks" BRS said. "where am i" i asked. "you're in the Otherworld. a place where Otherselves, such as me and Dead Master roam. we are born from an immense negative feeling, and harbour feelings like that for our human counterpart" Rock explained. "sounds honorable. where i come from, there are creatures known as grimm that are attracted to negative emotions. hunters and huntresses, which i am in training to become, fight those grimm to help protect humanity from the creatures of darkness. and also, do you know how i could get back to my world" i asked. "that i am unsure of" Rock said. "cool" i said. "what is your counterpart like" i asked. "she was kind, enthusiastic, and wanted to be a huntress. she was pretty naive as well. but i stopped being able to sense her six years ago, althoughi still fight, hoping that where ever she is, she isn't overwhelm by negative emotions" Rock said. "always back to six years. well, i hope your counterpart js doing well" i said. "wait, what happened six years ago" she asked. "family was killed" I said. "i see. i would say that I felt sorry for you, but we Otherselves don't feel strong emotions" Rock said. "it's fine" i said. my eye's glanced over to the spot Dead Master died. "so what happens to Dead Master's counterpart now that she's dead" I asked. "she will come back. we Otherselves fight the 'figurative' battles between people. we influence the outcome. you could say we give emotional fights an actual form. the stronger the otherself, which is determined by how strong, or in my case, how many emotions we harbour for our otherself" Rock said. i found myself losing consciousness, and I blacked out.

I woke to yomi lightly shaking me. as i slowly regained my barings, I first glanced at the clock. it was nearly 8:30. i barely had time to get ready. i quickly got up, grabbed my uniform, and changed in the restroom. i know we are all girls, but I don't quite want them to see how bad my scars are. too much to explain. I got out at roughly 8:53, i would have to fix my hair on the way to class.

"ahh, the vytal festival, such a womderful time of the year" weiss marveled as we walked through downtown vale. "it's a little weird to see you smile" yomi said, trying not to be offensive. "how can you NOT smile, unless your ruby, she always has a poker face. i mean, the planning, commitees (etc.)" weiss went on. "yeah, you can't really tell what she's thinking" yomi said. "you're one to talk" I said. "what, it's quite funny to see an 'innocent and proper' girl turn into a sadistic phsycopath" yomi said. "it IS unexpected" blake added. 'i think i can tell who Dead Master's counterpart is' i thought.

"what happened there" yomi asked. i followed where her eyes went, and the entire shop seemed to be blown up. "who could even do that" weiss asked. "maybe roman torchwick. we fought before I got into beacon" i said, thinking back to our encounter.

(flashback)

i was looking through some weapon magazines, mentally analyzing the weapons and their possible functions. i may not be the person I used to be, but I'm still a slight geek when it comes to weapons. some guy tapped on my shoulders. i turned around, and saw he was pointing a weapon at me. I quickly unsheathed Black Blade, and cut through his aura suprisingly quick. he was a henchmen. a disposable grunt who was weak alone, and did better fighting in groups. the other robbers had their eyes on me. i used this chance of shock to start summoning ★Rock Cannon. I was five seconds into summoning my cannon before the next people attacked. i cut through his aura, and by then my cannon was fully summoned. now i just needed three seconds for it to charge enough for twenty shots. in the mean-time, however. i used my oversized cannon to

the guy through the window of the dustshop. i chased the guys out of the shop and looked at the owner of the shop, and pointed at the roof they went to, and the owner nodded. i used on of my shots in ★Rock Cannon to make my way up faster. "well, star, you were worth every cent. truly, you were. but this is goodbye" roman said as he went into his extraction bullhead. a women, i persumed, based on her dress. (DO NOT TAKE OFFENSE, CROSS-DRESSERS / TRANSGENDERS ETC.) she started spewing red fire at me. 'pathetic, doesn't she know that blue fire is hotter than red fire' i thought. i let my left eye ignite into flames, as i aimed my cannon at their ship. i pulled the trigger, letting the red light fill the barrel of the gun. the whirring of the cannon charging up drowned out all other noise.

i released the trigger and a beam of red shot out of my cannon. the other women used her fire to try and hold of my cannons shot back from taking down the bullhead, which she, unsuprisingly, mostly managed to do, taking the brunt of the damage herself. that's when Mrs Glynda came in.

"can someone tell me why we're at the docks" yomi asked. "i heard that there are some students from vacuo, and being a representive of beacon, it is my responsibility to welcome them to this fine kingdom" Weiss said. "she wants to spy on them" blake said bluntly. "YOU HAVE NO PROOF" weiss yelled. "get back here you no good stow-way" two cops yelled at a monkey faunus. "hey, a no good stow away would have been caught. I'm a GREAT stow away" the faunus explained then ran off. "after him" weiss shouted, and took off after the running faunus.

i just walked after them, when i noticed that the others were talking with a weird girl. "pardon me, but you hardly look the part" weiss said. "ruby literally wears a strink bikini top into combat, not to mention you also wear a dress, so saying she doesn't look like she could fight is kinda hypocritical" yomi said. "well, weiss, you got on yomi's bad side. see you on the other side" i said. yomi just sent me that same glare. "well, i wish you the best of luck" yomi said to the girl weiss got... weissy with, for lack of a better term. "hey, have you heard of a monkey tailed rapscalion" weiss asked. "what" blake asked defiantly. "the filthy faunus from the boat" weiss continued. 'well this won't end well' i thought. "stop calling him that" blake demanded. "i'm sorry, do you want me to stop calling that trashcan a trashcan, or that lamppost a lamppost" weiss retorted. "i would like you to treat us faunus with desency. i thought you were a heiress, but your acting like a spoiled brat" yomi replied, barely managing to hold her tounge.

(later)

"WELL MAYBE WE WERE JUST TIRED OF BEING PUSHED AROUND" blake yelled, clearly fed up with weiss bratty attitude. granted, weiss wasn't ENTIRELY in the wrong. her hatred for the white fang was justified, however judging the entirety of the faunus from the actions of the fang was uncalled for. blake, noticing the way she worded her statement revealed what she was, instantly darted away.

yomi, despite her calm and collective persona, cares deeply for the faunus and their rights. she never joined the fang, but that does not mean she wasn't a supporter of the fang, back when it was a peaceful group of protestors, that is. this may have been why she used her semblance for the first time at beacon, let alone on someone as intimidation.

yomi swiped her hand through the air, and two skulls with a green flaming aura appeared next to her. yomi's eyes seemed to glow with malice. her right eye seemingly brighter than her left. "ARE YOU TOO STUCK UP TO SPARE YOUR TEAMATES FROM YOUR RACIST REMARKS" yomi yelled, her right eye glowing brighter. a green haze forming around it. "RACIST SCUM LIKE YOU DON'T DESERVE FRIENDS" yomi yelled, sounding really out of character. the green haze centralized around yomi's right eye. a few small, green flames flickered in and out, until the eye fully ignited. 'it is going to be hectic in the otherworld tonight' i thought.

and, as i suspected, it was.
