"Hmmmmm.... All right... All right" Ruby pointed at Yang. "Yang Xiao Long, prepare your kingdom for battle!"

In the Beacon Academy library, Team RWBEY was playing Remnant: The Game. Ruby was currently contemplating her next move. Weiss and Yang were focused on the game, Blake was distracted and Eclipse was laying on top of a bookshelf supposedly reading.

Yang thrusted her elbow down as she balled her fist. "Bring it on!"

"I deploy the Atlesian Air Fleet! She slapped her card down on the table. Yang feigned a look of shock. "Looks like I get to fly right over your Ursai and attack your walls directly!" Ruby made noises like airplanes flying and bombing as she made a bird with her hands.

Yang feigned a look of indignation as she pointed at Ruby. "You fiend!"

Ruby now ducked at one end of the table. "And since Atlas is part of Mantle, my repair time is only one turn." Ruby peaked her head up. She gave a look of surprise as Yang could be heard laughing arrogantly.

She raised a card. "Pretty sneaky, sis, but you just activated my trap card!"

"Whaaat?!" Ruby yelled making Eclipse shoot up as she was actually sleeping.

"Giant Nevermore!" She slammed the card down on the table. "If I roll a seven or higher, fatal feathers will slice your fleet in two!"

Ruby pointed at Yang. "But, if you roll a six or lower, the Nevermore will turn on your own forces!"

"That's just a chance I'm willing to take." The two glared at each other. Not even a minute later Yang was heard shouting triumphantly.

"Nooooo!!! My fearless soldiers!"

"Eh, most of them were probably androids."

"She's not wrong."

"Goodbye my friends, you will be avenged."

"Not until I draw my rewards! Which are double this round thanks to the Mistral Trade Route!"

"Bah!"

"Oh, and what's this? The Smugglers of Wind Path?"

"Bah! Bah, I say!"

"I say, it looks like I'm taking two cards in my hand!"

As Pyrrha read Jaune's comic, a Nevermore player piece was tossed over Jaune's shoulder. Another piece bouncing off of his head.

"Have you no heart?" Ruby collapsed on the table, groaning. "Nooo!"

"I don't even know why you agreed to play this with her." Eclipse rolled her eyes. "We all know how she gets."

"Well, Weiss, it's your turn." Yang smiled ignoring Eclipse's comments.

"I have... absolutely no idea what's going on," Weiss admitted.

Yang slid up beside her and put her hand on her shoulder. "Look, it's easy! You're playing as Vacuo which means that all Vacuo-based cards come with a bonus."

"That sounds dumb."

"Another reason why I don't play."

Yang starts looking through Weiss' cards. "See, you've got Sandstorm, Desert Scavenge... Oh, oh!" She pulls up a card to show Weiss. "Resourceful Raider! See, now you can take Ruby's discarded Air Fleet-"

"Nooo!" Ruby continued crying.

"-and put it in your hand!" Yang continued ignoring her sister.

"Okay."

"And since Vacuo warriors have an endurance against Natural-based hazards, you can use Sandstorm to disable my ground forces and simultaneously infiltrate my kingdom!" Yang pointed a finger at Weiss. "Just know that I will not forget this declaration of war." She pulled away and returned to her seat.
