Chapter 1: This Will Be The Day(Intro)
They see you as small and helpless
They see you as just a child
Surprise when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild
It was just another peaceful day in Ponyville, and nothing unusual was happening. Twilight was practicing some more advanced teleportation spells, and things were going well. Spike handed Twilight the next book in the pile, opened to a specific page titled Portal. Spike looked at her and asked her, “Twilight, don’t you think this might be just a little bit dangerous?” Twilight looked at the book and replied, “I haven’t failed a single spell all day, and I don’t see why this could be any different. But I’ll do four tries only. If I don’t get it right in four tries, I’ll stop the spells.”
“Fine.”
“Alright.” Twilight’s horn lit up, and the room began lighting up along with it. As her horn lit up more and more, a small portal opened up in front of her. As it slowly expanded, it slowly faded. The portal was red, almost a rose color, and it had formed itself in front of Twilight. It was a portal big enough to fit three ponies, and it seemed to be there enough to work. Twilight tapped it with her hoof, and it vanished in front of her, sending her crashing into a bookshelf. “Well, that didn’t work...”
Out in the Everfree Forest, almost in the center of it, a red portal appeared, almost rose colored, and it was large enough to fit three ponies. Oddly enough, it wasn’t as faded as Twilight’s portal. Perhaps she opened the portal in the wrong place.
Twilight made another attempt. Spike was this time on the upper floor, and the room lit up brighter and brighter as Twilight’s horn did. The glow gathered into a white portal, another portal of which faded as it grew. This portal, much like the other, was faded, but unlike the other, had varying illusions around it. Some of fire lines going out from it, around, and back in it in another spot. Some of ice lines doing the same, and others of lightning lines following suit. But what stood out was the fact that through the portal what could be seen was what looked like a city. Twilight touched it again to try to go through, but it once again vanished to an unknown location. Twilight began getting concerned that she could be unleashing things on Equestria she wouldn’t want to unleash. She puhed this feeling away, and hoped she could get it right on a third attempt.
Meanwhile, as the portal vanished from the library, a strange white portal appeared in Manehatten. Well, it wasn’t exactly in Manehatten as much as it was close enough to it that ponies might consider its location part of the city. This wasn’t any ordinary portal, though. Twilight’s portal’s strange illusions were occurring around this one too, and there were more this time. The view of the strange city was still slightly visible through the portal, and it seemed as though it may have been the same portal. If this was the case, then perhaps the red portal was also Twilight’s portal.
Back at Twilight’s place, she decided it was time for attempt number three. Focusing on the objective of the spell, where she was, and where she wanted to portal to exit, her horn lit up, followed by the room. Another portal appeared in front of her, this time black, still faded and fading as it grew. She had to take a break, but it slowly shrank as it became more solid in color. She caught her breath and quickly continued to try opening the portal. It was there now fully, still faded, and her hoof reached out for it. This portal didn’t vanish, it caused some strange winds, and then seemed to blow through the wall…
Meanwhile, in the Crystal Empire, a strange black portal appeared, seemingly from nowhere, followed by some cold winds. After a few seconds, the winds died down, and the portal was there, just outside the border. If it was unnoticed, it wouldn’t surprise anypony, but then again, how could it be noticed where it is? There was something odd about these three portals…Very odd indeed…
Twilight knew it was her last attempt. “Alright, Spike. If this doesn’t work, I’ll stop. That’s what we agreed on.” She lit her horn and concentrated, as the room grew brighter and brighter every second. A yellow portal that looked almost like fire opened in front of her, fading as it grew, as did the rest. This one grew bigger than the rest, covering almost the entire library, and almost not showing at all. Twilight didn’t need to even reach out this time, as the portal vanished into an illusion of fire. “Well, that’s four. Guess you’ll be done for now, right?” Spike Asked. Twilight nodded, and began to think of where the portals may have gone…
Meanwhile, in Canterlot, atop the castle, a strange yellow portal that almost looked like a portal of fire appeared, and was oddly unnoticed. These portals were the very ones Twilight opened, but little did she, or anypony, know what the end result of portals like these could be. The dangers ahead of Twilight and her friends were to be discovered at a later point in time, and Spike himself had a feeling those portals vanishing was bad news. And he was right. Equestria is in danger unknown to anypony, and there’s so much to do to protect it. Twilight figured out just how to find the portals…But if only it were possible. “Why do I always think of impossible ideas?” She asked Spike. He replied, “I dunno, but I don’t like this. Let’s be careful of anything strange.”
“Sure.”

Chapter 2: Red Like Roses Part I(Ruby Enters)
Red like roses fills my dreams and brings me to the place you rest.
In another world, not very similar to Equestria, four girls, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang, known as Team RWBY, were outside on their weekend, walking around Beacon’s grounds before heading somewhere for some lunch. As they walked, four strange portals appeared, a red one, a white one, a black one, and a yellow one. Each had something different about it from another, and the four of them looked at each other in confusion. Yang looked at the other three. “What do you think they are?” She asked. Blake turned to her and responded, “I have no idea. Whatever they are, they might not be safe.”
“Blake’s right. We should get away from these things before something bad happens.” Weiss added. “Besides, it’s not like it leads to another world or anything.” Ruby looked at the red portal, and touched it with her hand. She felt something strange as she saw her hand appear above a forest through the portal. “Guys, I wonder if yours looks the same when you do this too.” She said to the others. Each of them just sighed and put one hand through the portals, showing three other locations. Weiss looked through hers. “A forest for Ruby, and a wasteland for me. Nice.” Yang laughed. “Well I got the top of a castle of some kind.” Blake seemed to be trying to figure out what she was looking at. “It looks like some kind of kingdom…Made of crystal. Quite the odd portals, huh?” Ruby looked at her as the four removed their hands from the portals and replied, “Yeah. Maybe we should ignore them for now and let them fade out of existence.” They all decided they could agree on that, and went about their walk, before realizing they were at the edge of Beacon’s grounds. Just then, as they decided to go through the surrounding areas, a strange beast appeared in front of them. The beast was as tall as most of the buildings at Beacon, with four muscular arms, hands with claw on each one, and four legs, seemingly mechanical. It had a cannon on its back, and a sword in one of its hands. The strange beast swung a single clawed hand at team RWBY, and the four jumped out of the way. As its attacked pressed forward, the four prepared their weapons while backing up, so as not to be slashed and killed. Ruby prepared the Crescent Rose to fire a shot at the beast.
Just then, before she could fire, the four of them backed through the portals, closing three of them, and teleporting the red one to a new location in both worlds. The four were separated. Ruby looked around at the strange forest, dark as if midnight, but the time still being actual daylight. She jumped up into a tree and looked for an exit to the forest, spotting a town nearby. It seemed a bit old-fashioned, but she didn’t care. She just wanted to know where the heck she was. She tried to walked, but fell out of the tree, landing in a pool. She got herself out quickly, and noticed something strange in her reflection. She wasn’t herself…She wasn’t even human. She looked around, wondering if anybody else was here, or was like her. But she didn’t find another like her, and instead a strange wooden wolf. “What the heck is this thing? Doesn’t matter. Time to take it out.” She quickly grabbed Crescent Rose and ran towards it, slicing it in half before walking in the direction of the town. “This has got to be the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to me.”
A few minutes later, she had arrived outside the forest. The town was smaller than she thought it was, but she didn’t seem to care much about that. She walked toward the town from the edge of the forest, only to notice the other ponies like her there. “Is this some kind of alternate universe?” She said, putting away Crescent Rose. She began wondering exactly what could be going on if that wasn’t the case. Was this the future? The past? Another timeline? All these thoughts, ideas, and questions flew through her head as she walked through the town, looking at each of the ponies around her. Some had wings like her, some had horns, and some had nothing. But they all lived here together, as if nothing was different at all about them. Nothing really was, but it no ponies had seemed to do anything like the White Fang or anything. Seems as though wherever she was, Ruby was in a somewhat happier place, but she knew that her reason for being at Beacon was to train to become a Huntress, and make the world at least a little closer to this one…In how peaceful it is, anyway. As she walked through the town, one pony stood out to her. This pony was walked towards a building that looked like a tree, which kind of stood out on its own. But the pony she was looking at wasn’t a Pegasus or a Unicorn, but it had wings and a horn. She ran over the pony, and slowed down near her. She calmly walked toward her, and said to her, “Hey there.”
Twilight jumped, not knowing who the pony was…and being caught off guard, she was glad it was a pony. “Oh…Sorry about that. Hey there. You new around here?”
“Yeah, I guess. I came through a portal.”
Twilight's face seemed to both light up with joy and fall into nervousness all at once. "Spike, do you know what this means?" she said as the dragon walked over. "Twilight, I get it. She came from...wherever the heck that portal led to." he replied.
She stared at the two. "You two...know something about all this?"
