RWBY: Grimm of Equestria

I found myself facing down on the ground, as if I was knocked out from impact. My head was spinning profusely and it really hurt. When I finally woke up, I looked around and noticed that my friends and Uncle Qrow were unconscious as well. I stood on what appeared to be a gold circle with a large, white star inside of it. There were also six throne-looking chairs surrounding the center of the room.

"Guys, wake up!"

"R-Ruby?" Yang uttered. "Where are we?"

"I don't have a clue where we are." Weiss responded.

"This doesn't look like any usual place we've seen in Remnant." Blake said.

"Salem had to have known about this place before deciding to send us here." Qrow thought. "Oz, talk to me!"

"I'm here, don't be alarmed. Perhaps we should go and gather information from the inhabitants of...this intriguing place."

"Wait, where are Jaune, Nora, and Ren?"

"I hope they either manage to come find us or a way out of this place."

"Hold on... Someone's coming this way!"

"Quick, find somewhere to hide!" as Yang opened a random door.

Team RWBY, Qrow, and Oscar ran through a door to find a long corridor of rooms and they each split up. Ruby and Weiss ended up hiding in a bedroom, Blake and Yang hid in a storage closet, and Qrow and Oscar hid in a bathroom. With each of them peeking out their respective rooms, they noticed that the person entering is not human, a Faunus, or Grimm. It was...a pony.

"Thanks for treating us to another day at the spa, Rarity!"

"Aww, it was nothing, Twilight! You definitely needed a break after so much teaching."

"It sure beats doing chores around the house!"

"It's so awesome getting the athlete treatment every time!"

""So relaxing..."

"That was a lot of fun!"

"Ponies? They look so...ADORABLE!" Ruby almost burst out.

"Miss Rose, please keep it down!" Ozpin minded.

"Hey, did y'all hear somethin'?" The orange pony wondered.

"Nothing unusual for me, Applejack." Rarity replied. "Surely whatever you heard probably came from outside."

"No, that clearly came from inside." The blue flying pony considered.

"A break-in, perhaps?" The yellow flying pony shivered.

"Girls, we need to start searching the castle for any suspicious activities." Twilight said. "Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, you'll be checking upstairs with me. Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, you three stay down here and scope out the castle."

"Yes Twilight!" The pony's five friends agreed as they all split up.

"This isn't good, guys." as Blake stepped out of the storage closet.

"Stay here while Oz and I go talk to these little horses." Qrow insisted.

"You can't be serious!" Weiss freaked out.

"They look harmless. What's the worst that can happen?"

"You must be drunk again, huh?" Yang asked.

"If things get really hasty, Miss Xiao Long, then we will resort to combat. In case something difficult arises, your sister will bring you and your team forward to assist."

"Be careful, Uncle Qrow." Ruby whispered.

"Don't worry, kiddo. Just be ready to move up when we need you."

As my uncle and Oscar left the bathroom, we watched as they calmly approached the three strange-looking ponies. My friends and I then reached for our weapons in case of a real emergency.

"Yang, you're...stepping on my foot." Blake chuckled a bit.

"Oops, sorry Blake."

"Umm... Hello there." as Ozpin's voice switched to Oscar's.

"Hmm?" Rarity alarmed. "Who might you two be? I don't think we've ever met before, have we?"

"You're not wrong about that, lady. Listen, is it possible for you and your buddies to help us? We seem to be lost and we don't have much time to lose."

"Aww shucks..." Applejack sighed. "I hope it's serious."

"Twilight, we got some party guests!" Pinkie called out.

"N-no, we're not party guests, but I see what you're trying to say."

Those other three ponies quickly came back to the throne room and found my uncle and Oscar there. The more I look at them, the more strange this place gets. However, I can't help but fangirl over how cute these little ponies are.

"Oh?" Twilight hummed. "Who are you two supposed to be?"

"You two don't exactly look like the friendly type, huh?" as Rainbow's eye twitched.

"Look, we're not trying to cause trouble, but right now, we're actually in trouble and we need some help getting back home."

"How so?" Fluttershy wondered.

"You may have figured it out the moment you saw us, but we're not from this world." Qrow called out.

"I can tell." Twilight pointed out. "I know what it's like to be a human and get lost in a different world."

"Really? You can actually help us?"

"Your call, Twi." A.J said.

"Of course we'll help you get back home!" Twilight exclaimed. "Are you two the only ones that ended up here?"

"Nope." Qrow replied. "Ruby, come on in here!"

"What's up?" as Ruby closed the door behind her.

"Helllooo!" Yang started to sing.

"Nice to meet you all." Blake greeted.

"Hi everyone!" Weiss hailed.

"Fancy meeting all of you!" Rarity responded. "Before we begin assisting you, would you mind telling us your names?"

"My name's Ruby Rose."

"I am Weiss Schnee."

"Blake Belladonna."

"The name's Yang Xiao Long!"

"Qrow Branwen at your service."

"And I'm Oscar Pine, but sometimes, you can call me Oz."

"I like those names." Twilight said. "My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle, but everypony just calls me Twilight."

"I'm...Fluttershy." She spoke softly.

"You're looking at the one and only Rainbow Dash!"

"Rarity, my darlings!"

"Howdy y'all, I'm Applejack." as she tipped off her hat.

"And I'm Pinkie Pie!"

"That's nice to know. So you six are actually ponies?"

"Correct. Welcome to the land of Equestria, where we connect with others through the magic of friendship!"

"Magic? Friendship? I know how those two things work, but I don't see how they're connected."

"Don't be silly, missy! It's an everyday thing here that you'll get used to."

"Hey, I noticed that you all have different features. Why's that?" Blake interrogated.

"In Equestria, there are three pony races: unicorn ponies, Pegasus ponies, and Earth ponies. Since I have both the wings of a Pegasus pony and my original unicorn horn, I became an Alicorn pony, which is usually associated with ponies of royalty."

"Ooh, neat! Are you very rich?"

"Hehe, not as much as some other pony like me running the best darn apple farm in Equestria!"

"You got me there, Applejack."

"Umm, what are those things that you're all carrying?" Fluttershy asked.

"These are our weapons."

"Woah woah woah, only the bad guys roll like that!"

"There's no need to be frightened, young ponies." as Oscar's voice switched back to Ozpin's. "We are professional huntsmen and huntresses trying to defend our world from various forces of evil and not the types of people who would harm innocent people."

"Our world is called Remnant." Yang added. "We fight a species of monsters called the Grimm, and they feed off the negative emotions of people, just like leeches."

"They sound like the Dazzlings..." Twilight thought to herself. "Have they overrun Remnant and now you're trying to get back there?"

"That would be the least of our problems. It appears that the Grimm's master, Salem, has teleported us here with her magic and we must get back to Remnant before she obtains her full power."

"Teleportation, you say? Twilight, my dear, you can just show them the magic mirror portal that you always use to visit Sunset Shimmer, right?"

"Did you just say a portal?"

"Yes she did! However, there are two problems that you might encounter with it."

"What's the first one?" Qrow sighed.

"I don't exactly have the power source with me right now. It's actually a book with a red and purple star on the cover, but my old mentor, Princess Celestia, has it right now."

"And the second problem?"

"I don't think the portal is guaranteed to bring you back to your exact world, Ruby. As far as I know, I am only able to travel between here and the alternate Equestria. I've never been to any other world."

"Well, that sucks." Blake shrugged off. "We still have to go find Jaune, Nora, and Ren. Who knows where they could be right now?"

"I'm sure they're doing just fine on their end. Maybe they will have a way to get us out if we find them first."

"Twilight, is this book really the power source for your portal?"

"Yes Blake. Is something wrong?"

"N-nothing. I was wondering if that book was any good to read..."

"Oh, it is! I don't open it up that often anymore because I have a lot of duties as a princess, but when I don't have duties, it's always a pleasure communicating with a friend from the alternate Equestria, who's named Sunset Shimmer. You like reading a lot?"

"Trust me when I say this, but Blake can read more than anyone I've met." Yang smirked. "Even my sister Ruby can't match her!"

"Eeyup!" Ruby nodded.

"You two are sisters? That is very touching, but it appears that you two don't exactly look the same."

"We're actually half-sisters. We both have the same father, but have different mothers. Unfortunately, my mother, Summer Rose, passed away while on her final mission as a huntress."

"And my mother, Raven Branwen, left me shortly after I was born and decided to live her own life leading a tribe of bandits."

"Ouch... I'm...sorry to hear that. Those are quite the first impressions I never expected to hear."

"I'm sorry to hear that, too. Things must be tough in your world, huh?"

"Very." Weiss remarked. "It's only a matter of time before Remnant is destroyed entirely."

"Then, let's get going, everypony! Twilight, where do we go now?"

"In order to power the portal again, we need the book from Princess Celestia. If we can just get Ruby and her friends to Canterlot Castle, there should be nothing to worry about."

"Are you sure this castle is safe, Miss Sparkle?"

"That, I can definitely guarantee, Oz. Don't worry about hiding your weapons, I'll explain everything to the Canterlot Royal Guard and they'll let us inside with no trouble. Sounds good?"

"Team RWBY is ready to roll!" as Ruby pumped up her fist.

"Agreed!"

"Right on!"

"You said it, sis!"

"You four have your own team name? That is...AWESOME!"

"Ooh, what should we name our team, Twilight?"

"Ruby, didn't you leave out Qrow and Oscar?"

"It's fine. I may be retired, but I'm always in the mood for protecting loved ones. I was once a part of Team STRQ."

"I'm just a regular old farm boy who kind of got dragged into this mess." as Ozpin's voice switched back to Oscar's.

"Hmm, there's six of us, but Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang form a team of four. How about...Team SDAR?"

"It sounds like 'star.'"

"Yeah, kind of. I will be joined by Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity."

"What about us, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.

"We'll have to think of a team name for you and Pinkie later. Maybe Starlight and Spike can join your team."

"Twilight, since we're new here in Equestria, why don't you lead the way?"

"Gladly. Come on everyone! Let's get moving as soon as..."

ROAR!!!!!!

"Ahh, my ears! Where did that noise come from?"

"Whatever it is, it doesn't sound good." Yang gulped.

"Hold on, I recognize that loud noise. Quick, outside the castle!"

We all followed Twilight out to the main lobby and out the front door of the castle, running and galloping like crazy, and we laid eyes upon something that we have never encountered before in Remnant. While Twilight and her friend looked angry in a surprised way, my friends and I looked completely disgusted by this weird creature. It possesses a bear's body with the fur coloring of a panda, along with two additional arms, as well as insectoid antennae, wings, and the stinger of a hornet.

"What is that thing?" Blake shivered.

"BUGBEAR!" Twilight and her friends shouted.

"What in the world is a bugbear?"

"A few years ago, the bugbear was captured and imprisoned in Tartarus by the secret agent Sweetie Drops, member of a secret anti-monster agency located in Canterlot, but he managed to escape and the agency was disbanded because of him. We managed to beat him before and we shall do it again!"

"That has got to be the ugliest abomination I have ever laid my eyes upon!"

"Agreed, ma'am!" as Rarity gave Weiss a hoofbump.

"Weapons ready, guys!"

"ATTACK!" Qrow yelled.

While all of us charge against this giant beast, I can't help but know that any of this doesn't make any sense. The past five months had been hard. The Fall of Beacon had impacted so many lives in such a devastating way and it resulted in chaos across the four kingdoms. But it wasn’t just a global tragedy, it was also a very personal one for everyone involved. Students, teachers and bystanders were hurt, Yang had lost an arm and one student had lost their life… Pyrrha Nikos. We went through all of that just to end up somewhere isn't home?

This is starting to feel like another completely different battle. Remnant was a dark place to begin with, but Equestria looks so colorful and bright, and even it has its own evils like this bugbear. The fight just keeps going on and on and on.

One thing, however, is certain: we are four girls with four different stories, but there can only be one ending...
