RWBY - alternative - What if?

Welcome to Desert Oasis

[Upcoming Season 10]

A desert can be a harsh place to live. So it can be questionable of (Why?) someone though, that it will be a good idea to settle there. Maybe it was for its defense advantage or some hidden secrets spoken only on old tales around a campfire. Maybe it was from the wast distance from anyone else who not daring to accepted the harsh rules of desert. Or, maybe it was just a stubbornness of humans who found a trick or two, that allow them to call this place a home. And so-- a kingdom of Vacuo survived to those days the test of time. Which is a bold statement; because even if the supposed dark clouds on the far horizon cannot be seen, they presence can definitive be feel deep in the heart.

One way or another, a Crow Branwen an elite huntsman, was sitting at round table at some room or hall; maybe a tavern, inn, a gild, or (Whatever)... He was sitting whit a face expression that he is in a pinch or another trouble that require a careful approach. That trouble was not coming from the glass of water in his hand, but from his companion on the table.

Because on the opposite side sits a Winter Schnee [F] a current 'Winter Maiden', and she was unhappily unfriendly, radiating instant hostility to not just the man siting on other side, but as if to the world itself or in general. On closely inspection a train eye can see that one can described her as if she was siting on needles. As if something, was eating her sanity during those few days and it was not related to her family. (Especially not related to her sorrow about losing her younger sister during certain evacuation.)

Maybe the huntsman hinted that she is feeling something related to her powers of maiden or even further out of the plane of regular mortals, and in order to easy her mood, (and maybe brainstorm some ideas or plan), he (somehow) managed to drag her out. But... to say that he heavy failing on his objective was a light assumption.

.

A break-point in this misery to watch, arrived when he felt a somehow familiar feeling. He averted his head to glanced at (something?) near him. The woman with a frown, followed his gaze and got even more restless when she saw something like a distortion in space. Soon (this abnormality) grown into red-black vortex. Crow on spot realized that this was actually an effect of her sister semblance, that allow her to create a personal gate-way between two places. Somehow he had a conflicted feelings about seeing his sister from a bandits camp. Especially when his current companion across table, (not on date by the way), can possibly blow up and pick a fight, the second she walk in.

Of course the (crowd?) around noticed that red-black thing too and it caused an uproar.

But the chaos begging the moment when a group of four yelping teenagers (or adolescents), practically fell out of it, as if they all tripped on the doorstep. [June Arc, Ren Lie, Nora Valkyrie and Pyrrha Nikos in middle of the group hug.]

.

Everyone around just stared whit eyes wide open at that event in disbelief, questioning whats going on.

But as fast as this group make a pile on the floor whit a choral 'Uff!'; the blonde guy suddenly realize something important as he in slight alarmed panic raised his head to shout. "Oh no!-- Move!! Or the others will fall on us!" It was a call on time, because they barely managed to escape from the landing zone by barrel-roll, jump out, or similar.

They successfully avoided being hit by the next duo that fallen out of the vortex. [Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee] Those two, were carrying a ridiculously big travel bag on they back. Someone can speculate, that this bags were made from a tablecloth wrapped around a huge pile of loot or personal stuff like clothing, to make a ball. Then using the remains of the corners of that tablecloth to tied it up around the girls upper torso; so it look like a backpack. (Or it was a giant leaves knitted together.) As expected this duo also tripped on the doorstep and fall out. They also yelped and because of the bags; both of them lost they footing and were falling forward.
