Explanation of Au 

RWBY X Alice Sacrifice 

Ever after was the land of fairy tales where magic roamed and where no creature of the Grimm lurk only those of fairy tales lived and where the brother gods were born and lived before departing and creating the world's such as remnant 

But there were also known as The Alice Human sacrifices or known as Heroes they were heroes before the Brother gods they were legends to them 

The first Alice, The Spade of Alice came to Ever after which was once before a desolated land of evil and corruption known as Nowhere, The first Alice nickname Spade became the first Hero also sacrifice 

The first Alice wrath made Nowhere, Ever after again creating the Beautiful ever after that we know today, And birth of the brother gods, The first Alice made Light and Darkness before going into madness, The first Alice of Spade was also known as Adam Taurus 

Adam had woken in Remnant because the body that was in Ever after wasn't real a mere projection that felt real 

Second Alice was of Diamond known as Keith Ellis, a Boy who had used his poems and songs to bring back the creatures and people of Ever after back, singing songs and poems to there hearts content 

Teaching The brother gods of vast Worlds and that was God of Light and God Of darkness inspired that when there is light there is always darkness, when there is order there is chaos a world cannot balance without the two of them, But Keith also fell into madness 

The third Alice known as the Alice of Clover, she was a princess of another land who wanted to rule a land on her own, she was naive but she was extremely lucky surrouded the ever after forest of green and the own who made The Great Tree of Ascension her name was Althea Fern the Queen of the Afterans and the Queen of the whole Ever after 

Althea was a wonderful Queen she gave the people prosperity and happiness but it didn't last as she became deadly corpse and died due to madness 

The last and final Alice, the fourth Alice of hearts were set of Twins Name Lyra and Sharron twin sisters who venture into Ever after and became the twin Queen taking over Althea Fern legacy they were also wonderful leader but they also to could not hold onto the legacy as they also went to madness 

Adam Taurus was the first Alice Sacrifice but during his Journey when in Ever After or before it was Called Nowhere he had met the curious Cat, Curious Cat at that time was curious and naive always wanting to know Adam 

Adam would always be mysterious but was a loving owner to Curious cat and the only person to name Curious cat as Rio, Adam was the only person who name Curious cat that name 

Curious cat was loyal to Adam because Adam was his owner but when Adam passed away because of Madness he was in grief and became a guide to outsiders for his final wish but when Curious Cat saw Blake memories and that Blake killed the real body of Adam of course he was mad 

Curious Cat became the Villain for Team RWBY because of his death of his owner 

Jabber Walker was loyal to Althea Fern because she was the Queen and she did not judge Jabber Walker for being weird and creepy, and Jabberwalker saw Althea like a mother 

For the brother gods, they saw Adam Taurus as there creator and Father, for Keith they saw him as a Mentor, as For Althea and Lyra, Sharron they were not so close but we're loyal to the Alices of Ever after 

Now onto the time traveling thing now, so this make Ruby allot of Grey or Dark Ruby because this happens during the 9 Volume of RWBY 

Something Happened to Ruby, she and th curious cat merge to one and becoming one person, Ruby gains memories of curious cat and it's personality including its abilities, Ruby realized Curious cat wanted to see Adam his old owner again 

Ruby meets with Adam somehow, honestly have no clue but curious cat abilities did and Adam who was surrounded by madness had a hard time remembering curious cat in ruby and so it was power struggle and Ruby with new found abilities subdue the madness in Adam and also Ruby found out Adam was a decent guy to be honest 

Ruby and Adam work together in secret and Also Adam having a heart attack because his rio and Ruby had merge into one being

The changes if you don't want to read this paragraph 

Adam Taurus is the first Alice known as the Alice of Spade 

Ruby Rose and curious cat merge into one being 

The relics were inspired by the Alice sacrifice tale 

This is Time travel and reaction fic(Probably)

Adam is professional In magic 

Ruby is a dumbass in magic 

Chapter Text

In a land of shadow and roaming beasts,

Corruption sang through the twisted trees.

He came with a blade, a heart of steel,

Cutting the nightmare to help it heal.

Magic reborn from a hand so brave,

Yet the mark of the Spade was a silent grave.

Every Alice walks a road of dreams,

But madness lurks beneath the seams.

Four Alices walked through a door unseen,

Each with a crown, each chasing a dream.

Magic and madness entwined their hearts,

Building a kingdom, then tearing apart.

Oh, the four Alices, lost in the maze,

Writing their stories in shadows and haze.

The second one sang in the city square,

Words like a balm to the people there.

His poetry shining like silver light,

Pushing back terror, holding back night.

But whispers grew loud, and fear took aim—

A shot to the head snuffed out his flame.

Every Alice walks a road of dreams,

But madness lurks beneath the seams.

Four Alices walked through a door unseen,

Each with a crown, each chasing a dream.

Magic and madness entwined their hearts,

Building a kingdom, then tearing apart.

Oh, the four Alices, lost in the maze,

Writing their stories in shadows and haze.

The princess arrived with a crown of green,

A vision of kindness, a gentle queen.

She planted her gardens, her forests rose,

But madness roots where the wild wind blows.

Her heart grew thorns though her hands were kind,

And shadows crept into her mind.

Then came the twins with the mark of Hearts,

Logic and joy played their dual parts.

They built on her dream, raised magic high,

A shining kingdom beneath the sky.

But the echo of madness still remained,

And one by one, the Alices were claimed.

Four Alices walked through a door unseen,

Each with a crown, each chasing a dream.

Magic and madness entwined their hearts,

Building a kingdom, then tearing apart.

Oh, the four Alices, lost in the maze,

Writing their stories in shadows and haze.

In a world of wonder and silent screams,

Each Alice sleeps inside our dreams.

Spade, Diamond, Club, and Hearts aligned—

Four fallen stars in a cursed design.

After things calm down, This was during the time of the Vytal festival so many people were there in the Cinema 

'Hello! You guys will have a fun quiz! If you guys don't answer correctly you will be trap here forever ☺️'

All of the RWBY cast all look in shock and surprised 

Ozpin:who are you, why did you bring us here?

Ozpin eyes narrowed at the theater screen 

'Simple really my name is Sleeper of the misting cosmos, The Primordial being how should I say this of the cosmos☺️' 

'I want you guys to play a quiz game because I got bored and I really want to entertain myself and some others' 

 Qrow:I guess today isn't my day, Getting trap by some cosmic being for fucking game what shit of luck 

Qrow drinks his flask casually 

Ozpin:What if we don't follow your rules

Ozpin narrows his eyes more his voice stern 

'Simple you die, when the people answer the correct answer they will be safe for the next few rounds they will not be able to answer but they will be safe from being eliminated, and oh if a person takes three strikes of the wrong answer your head explodes' 

Jaune:what!? I'm too young to die 

Jaune being scaredy cat hugs Pyrrha and Pyrrha comforts Jaune 

Pyrrha:it's okey Jaune, were here 

Pyrrha held Jaune hand 

Cardin:Why should we listen to you! Your probably- 

Cardin head explodes his blood scattering to the floor 

Adam:💭Idiot

Adam thought and rolled his eyes underneath his Grimm mask 

Making everyone see this shriek in terror 

'Oh and also don't try to make me mad' 

Cardin splattered head reverses and Cardin was back to normal no longer dead and Cardin collapses to the ground 

Cardin chokes on air feeling horrified as his teammates look in shock and horrified 

Velvet saw this quickly hides behind Coco who merely protects her 

Jarques:This is absurd! 

Jarques shouts 

Ozpin:It seems like we don't have a choice

Ozpin sighs still wary though looking at Glynda, Qrow, Ironwood, and Winter 

Glynda:I suggest we follow the entity lead it seems like it's our only option at the moment 

'This is the safe round!' 

'what inspired the creation of the Relics?' 

A.Brother Gods?

B.Alice Sacrifice Tale

C.maidens 

D.humanity 

Almost allot of people were stunned some were confused while others knew of it 

Most of the students and other huntsman and huntress look confused because they have never heard of Relics 

But for those who knew the Relics, Ozpin, Glynda, Qrow, and Ironwood on the heroes side 

Glynda:Inspired? Weren't the brother gods the ones who made the relics, Ozpin? 

Glynda looks at Ozpin 

Qrow:Well isn't that a stinger, looks history isn't what it seems 

Qrow drinks his flask 

Ozpin:I presume so, I never knew they were inspired by someone or something 

On the other side Salem and her inner group look also confused 

Salem:How intresting seems like the relics have history than being created by the brother gods 

While Ruby and Adam look at the screen in surprised 

Adam:💭Alice sacrifice Tale...that brings good and bad memories back 

Adam flinches a bit 

Ruby:💭this is easy...

Ruby knows the answer too well

The panels suddenly raised Infront of everyone and everyone scrambles to answer it 

Relics? 

What the hell is that???

Shit was it apart of history class or something?

Well let's just answe A, since it's most likely it 

Everyone puts in there answers but all of there screens turn red indicating wrong answer 

Nora:Oh no Renny! We got it wrong!?

Nora panics and sees above there head three hearts but now it was two 

Ren who saw two hearts on his head 

Ren:Seems like answer A was wrong 

'oh my seems the majority of you answer A! Which is wrong! The right answer is B! The Alice sacrifice Tales!' 

Ozpin:I have never heard of such tale before

Ozpin had confused and questioning look 

Velvet:It kinda sounds like Alice in wonderland

Velvet said quietly 

'ding, ding, that is correct Velvet! Alice sacrifice tale is actually the original story of Alice in wonderland, and just for that you get your heart back!'

Velvet was surprised sees above her head were three hearts now 

Velvet:Oh! 😮

Fox:Nice work velvet! 

Fox pats Velvets head 

Cardin:Oh woah the faurus-

Before Cardin could finish 

'do you want me to blow your head off again?'

Cardin gulps

Cardin:No Ma'am 

Blake:Seems like we can get other hearts if we luckly make a guess like velvets 

Blake mutters 

Yang:Rubes you still have 3 hearts! 

Yang was shock that Ruby guess right 

'The only people to have guess right! We're Adam Taurus and Ruby Rose! They will be safe for 3 rounds but will be unable to help others for the answer! 

Blake eyes widened 

Blake:Adam got it right too? 

Adam with the white fang could only cross his arms as some red fabric was wrap around his mouth making him unable to speak 

Ruby also had the same red fabric around her mouth

Ruby:Mmmph! 

Yang:Hey! What did you do to my little Sis!!!

Yang fiery eyes turn red 

'To make the game fair'

Weiss:Ruby are you alright? 

Weiss trys to remove the fabric from Ruby mouth 

Ruby:Mmmph! 🥲

Ruby struggles but she can't speak a word 

Adam on the other hand didn't even struggle although he was quite mad that there was no warning 

'Now onto the second Round!' 

1. What is the name of Ruby Rose’s weapon?

a) Gambol Shroud

b) Crescent Rose

c) Myrtenaster

Yang answers quickly 

Ciel who was next from penny she only met Ruby briefly but judging of her name her weapon had toe be cresent Rose, so Ciel answers 

Qrow:That my niece! 

Qrow answers cresent Rose 

Ironwood:It seems like the safe rounds are the harder questions the most of the majority don't even know about 

Ironwood inspect

Qrow:Pretty obvious Tin man

Qrow sneers 

Winter:Have some respect for the General!

Winter huffs and shouts 

Qrow:What ever you say Ice Queen 

Glynda and Ozpin could only sigh must they always fight in a crisis like this

Chapter Text

Ruby joyfully hugs her team as they got the right answer although she couldn't speak right now 

Yang pats Ruby head 
Yang:Yeah don't worry rubes, we got it

Blake looks at the screen as another round pops up 

'Third Round'

'Adam’s coat features which symbol on the back?
A) The Schnee Dust Company logo
B) The White Fang emblem
C) His personal bull mask emblem
D) A red rose'

All the white fang members look at Adam's coat which was A red rose which was pretty obvious 

Adam facepalms looking at the screen that was literally the question now???

Illa:A Red Rose everyone answer D! 
Illa shouts as all the white fang members answered the question 

Those other Fauruses who were near the white fang also answered the same thing with the white fang 

Kali:Dear let's answer 
Kali and Ghira answer also D 

But those who were beacon have no clue who the hell Adam Taurus was well except Blake and Ruby secretly 

Blake:Adam? 
Blake mutters but quickly snaps out of it 

Blake:Everyone! It's D trust me! 
Blake shouts at everyone 

Yang:Alright, Blake I trust your word 
Yang presses D 

Jaune:Are you sure that the correct answer we don't even know who this Adam guy is? 
Jaune nervously couldn't pick 

Nora:We still have two lives Jaune
Nora makes Jaune press D

'Oh woah! majority got Ruby trivia question correct some weren't so lucky while some of you guys were half in half didn't get Adam Trivia question right at all! So bye bye to those with zero hearts' 

What!? 

I'm too Young to die

This has to be some kind of joke! A dream of sorts!

Noooo! 

Those who had zero hearts mostly civilians all died with one swoop and there blood splatters on the ground but it dissapears like white dust in the air 

Taiyang:That was close, I almost had no heart 
Taiyang looks above his head seeing he only has one heart now 

Everyone who had 2 or 1 heart all started screaming fear but they couldn't move at all like they were shackled by some kind of invisible forcefield of all things 

Qrow:Shit this getting way too above my pay grade 
Qrow curses 

Pyrrha:Oh my god all those poor people 
Pyrrha was so shock and horrified she was cover her mouth with her hands 

Nora:Renny, I'm scared 
Nora hugs Ren, who merely hugs Nora back 

Weiss: this is monstrous! You can't just take people lives! 
Weiss shouts at the screen 

'Oh but I can, I am a deity the law is above me'

Coco:hey! I don't know what your deal is! But your not a god your a sicko playing god!!
Coco shouts 

Meanwhile Adam looks utterly bored out of his mind 
Adam:💭Those civilians that she killed were marionettes porcelain dolls filled with cranberry juice 

Adam looks at his hand that had a blood splatter and licks it, it was cranberry juice of all things 

Adam:This Deity is a trickster and loves seeing people horrifying faces 
Adam mutters 

Tyrian who had blood splatter on his cheek licks it with a maniacal smile and laughs 
Tyrian:This isn't blood, it's juice! 

Emerald:wait!? You mean it's fake!? 
Emerald was shocked 

Mercury picks up an arm and sees it was a porcelain doll arm 
Mercury:Yeah, seems like some of these people are just dolls 

Salem:How intresting meaning some of the people in the room are not real at all
Salem look amused seeing the chaos 

'Fifth Round' 

'What nickname does Yang affectionately give Ruby?
A) Rubes
B) Petal
C) Little Rose
D) Red'

Ruby:Mmmmmph!!!! Mmmph! 
Ruby screams were muffled from the red cloth 

Yang:Don't worry rubes we got this 
Yang answer A obviously because that were nickname 

The majority of everyone answers the correct and now they were safe and that made Adam and Ruby out of there confine mouth straps 

Ruby:Yang! I'm so sorry I couldn't help you 
Ruby sniffles hugging Yang like a koala

Yang:I'm fine Rubes
Yang removes Ruby from herself holding like a child 

Adam on the other hand breaths 
Adam:Tsk suffocating

Adam:💭Looks like will be able to play now again 
Adam looks at the screen 

 'Seems Like Ruby and Adam are no longer safe! But this time I will showing you guys a memory' 

Blake:a memory? 
Blake and the others look confused 

Nora:Like watching a movie! Ooooo
Nora look excited 

Ren facepalms 
Ren:Haaa Nora 

Blake sheathed Gambol Shroud with a sharp snap. While Adam was lost in his slaughter, she turned away, boots silent on the trembling floor. She leapt for the hatch, climbing back to the roof.

Wind roared around her as she emerged under the cold moon. She ran along the train’s spine, lungs burning, heart heavier than her steps. Behind her, a hatch slammed open.

“Blake!” His voice carried over the wind — not the words, just the weight of his rage.

Blake look shock 
Blake:No, not my past......

Adam eyes narrowed this deity truly is a trickster, which reminds Adam of the time when he was still in ever after I mean before it became ever after honestly 

Yang:Blake is that you? That was the guy you ran away from?
Yang was shock 

Blake merely nods at Yang question 

Ruby on the other hand was practically panicking really hoping that her accidental teleporting there wouldn't be shown 

Ghira:My daughter and.....him 
Ghira never like Adam especially his cruel ways because that what made people dislike the Fauruses 

Illa:Blake....
Illa being the childhood friend couldn't help but feel conflicted because Blake was her friend and yet she was loyal to Adam 

Mercury scoffs and crosses his arms from his chest
Mercury:What is this? Fucking Sad Romance? 

She looked back once. Adam stood framed by the night, blade glowing red, mask hiding everything except betrayal.

Blake’s grip tightened on her weapon. With one practiced flick, she cast Gambol Shroud’s ribbon outward, the blade embedding in a distant support beam. She swung herself clear of the train, cape snapping like a shadow, and disappeared into the dark desert.

Adam stood frozen on the roof, crimson energy curling off his sword. He watched the space where she had been until the train carried him away, his fury swallowed by the night.

Blake had a somber and sad look 
Blake:I'm sorry I had to 

But then Yang pats her shoulder comforting Blake 
Yang:You had to Blake, you were not in the wrong here 

Blake:Thank you Yang 
Blake smiles 

Ruby:💭Well technically Adam was still influence by Madness at that time untill the last moment when I aka using Curious cat magic made Adam remember who he was 
Ruby thought to herself 

against his legs.
She’s gone.

He’d expected many things from Blake, but not this. The betrayal cut deeper than any blade. His fist clenched around Wilt’s hilt until the leather creaked. He ground his teeth, a low growl rattling in his throat.

How dare she leave him?
How dare she leave him?

But before the fury could boil over, a shrill scream sliced through the night air.

Adam spun, cape snapping, sword rising—just in time to see a blur of red crash down onto the roof of the train. A small girl tumbled, landed hard on her knees, and clutched her head with a groan.

“Ow…”

Ruby look panic 
Ruby:Wait don't show this part! 

Adam facepalms again honestly why was Ruby such a dumbass at Magic 

Weiss:wait is that? Ruby?
Weiss look shock and in disbelief how in the world did ruby get there 

The wind tugged at her cloak. Silver eyes blinked up at him under a scatter of hair and rose petals.

Adam blinked once, utterly thrown. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Ruby Rose squinted, still holding her head. “Uh… hi?”

Blake look in shock 
Blake:Ruby!? You were there!? 

Qrow splutters as he saw Ruby on the screen
Qrow:The hell kid what kind of mess did you get yourself into?

Ruby sheepishly smiled 
Ruby:Uh oh 

Adam:Uh oh indeed 
Adam wanted to facepalm again 

Sienna the current leader of the white fang right now 
Sienna:What is that human doing there!?
