The next day, Watson was on the sofa with his laptop on his lap, watching videos of the attacks that had occurred yesterday. He turned on a video several White Fang soldiers and Neo-Nazis gunning down civilians running in the street.

"What the hell is this?" Watson asked himself.

He clicked onto a different video showing a couple of Merlot Androids and several Grimm trying to attack a group of people. Watson took a closer look at the people that are fighting off the androids and Grimm. He widened his eyes in shock and excitement upon recognizing most of them. It was Teams RWBY, JNPR (Juniper), and CFVY (Coffee), and Qrow Branwen and Ilia Amitola.

"Oh my god! It's them! It's really them! They're actually real!" Watson exclaimed.

He then looked at the other two teams fighting alongside the others; Teams GRMA (Grimace) and CFDT (Confederate).

"But who the heck are the other eight?" Watson asked.

He hears a knock at the front door and gets up from the sofa. He walks over to the door and opens it to find Yara.

"Yara? What are you doing here?" Watson asked.

"I came here to check up on how you were doing," Yara answered.

"Fine. Fine. Just watching videos of the attacks from yesterday on my laptop," Watson said. "Do you want to come in?"

"Sure," Yara answered.

She walks inside the house and walks up to the sofa and sits down. Watson closes the door and walks up to Yara and sits down next to her. He grabbed his laptop and sat it on his lap.

"How bad is it?" Yara asked.

"Over two million people were killed in the attacks from what I could find so far," Watson asked.

"Oh, god," Yara gasped.

"Anyway, there's more. I was watching this video of the characters from RWBY fighting Grimm in this neighborhood," Watson said.

He plays the video and he and Yara then both start to watch it. The video showed Amber activating her Fall Maiden powers and creating four cyclones, sucking all the Grimm and androids inside them. The cyclone moved toward each other, merging into a large tornado. Coco transforms Gianduja to her minigun and with her semblance now activated, she begins shooting at the last remaining Grimm and androids, completely obliterating them all. Amber deactivates her Fall Maiden powers and the tornado disappears.

"And this is real?" Yara asked.

"It's all authentic," Watson answered.

"I've been looking a little bit into RWBY and watched a few episodes last night. But I don't know some of these other characters in this video," Yara said.

"Yeah, the other eight I don't know who they are. They have never appeared on the show. Not even once," Watson said.

"Well that's something to look up," Yara said.

"I have a feeling it ain't over. And I believe it's just starting," Watson said.

"Of course it is. A fictional show is now reality. People are gonna ask questions about it. Cockbite is also going to have a field day with this," Yara said.

"Rooster Teeth," Watson corrected.

"Whatever," Yara said.

A moment of silence had passed and then Yara then spoke.
