RWBY: The Green Rose

By ETH

"There's no way to kill Salem" Ruby thought as she brought Ozpin's cane over to Oscar who looked very distraught, and she didn't blame him. After all they had learned about Ozpin's past lives and finally they also learned that they couldn't kill Salem…. It was just too much.

"So I'm just gonna be another one of "his" lives?" asked Oscar not reaching for the cane or looking at Ruby, who felt her heart wince and her friend's words. She cared about Oscar very much ever since the day she met him, there was even a feeling she had for him that she couldn't really identify correctly, but either way Oscar meant a great deal to her and she didn't like when he said such things about himself.

"Of course not. Your you're own person- the silver eyed girl started but was cut off by Qrow.

"Don't lie to him Ruby, we're better than that"

Oscar looked down, as did Ruby.

Just before Oscar could reach for the cane a big cloud appeared right above him and Ruby! Everyone looked up at the thunder and lighting coming from the cloud and before anyone could move or reach for their weapons the cloud of thunder and lightning turned into a portal and a girl who looked about fifteen years old fell out of it and landed in Ruby's arms, knocking Oscar to the ground.

"What the- OW!" shouted the former farm boy, rubbing his head.

The portal then vanished into thin air as did the thunder and the lightning coming from it.

The girl in Ruby's arms wore a black suit and combat skirt with hits if green in it, she wore laced up black boots with green laces, she wore black palm like gloves, had a pack of arrows were on her back with a bow, she had long dark hair and one strand of it was braided on each of the side of her head, she had cute freckles all over her nose and cheekbones, and she had pale skin. But what stuck out the most about this girl was her green cloak and hood and her her eyes which were the same silver color as Ruby's.

"Who are you?" asked Blake taking out her weapon.

The girl turned her head to Blake.

"My name is Ireland" said the girls simply.

Everyone looked at eachother.

"Ireland what? What's your last name?" asked Weiss lowering her sword just a bit.

Ireland frowned.

"That's none of your business!" she snapped.

Everyone frowned, including Ruby, who put Ireland down.

"Hey, you can't talk to my friends that way!" scolded the red hooded girl.

Ireland turned to Ruby and her eyes went wide.

"Wait hold the scroll, are you Ruby, Ruby Rose?" asked Ireland.

Ruby looked at everyone else, who shrugged.

"Y-yes, why?"

With those words Ireland immediately grabbed her bow and split it in half. The two halves of the bow then folded into guns. Ireland then pointed one of them at Ruby.

"You're coming with me, red" stated the green cloaked girl menacingly. Ruby frowned and reached for her scythe, which Ireland noticed.

"Don't…. Unless of course you want me to shoot at you, and that goes for everyone" she said firmly as she pointed the gun at Ruby's forehead.

Ruby was too scared of the situation to even run, this girl; Ireland, came out of nowhere and now she wanted her to leave with her to go to…. Who knows where.

"Hey, come on Pipsqueak we've had a rough day. Can we just- Qrow started but was cute off when Ireland scowled at him and then turned back to Ruby.

"Lets go, red" said Ireland as she reached into her pocket to grab something, but before she could grab anything Oscar picked up Ozpin's cane from the snow and knocked the green hooded girl to the ground. It was clear to some that Oscar was in love with Ruby and he would do anything to protect her, heck the way he beat the shit out of Lionheart when he saw her hurt at the battle of Haven proved it.

"If you want Ruby, you'll have to through me!" shouted the former farm boy about to strike at Ireland again only to hit a green force field.

Everyone looked at Ireland in shock.

"Surprise, how do you like my semblance?" asked Ireland with a playful snicker as she lowered her hand making the force field vanish. Everyone else pulled out their weapons except for Maria who watched the fight scene in awe.

Everyone including Ruby did their best to fight Ireland, but to their surprise she was very good at fighting, both with her bow and hand to hand combat she even shot arrows everyone that had built in smoke bombs that went off and when it cleared everyone saw that Ireland had trapped Oscar and Ruby in a green force field.

"Hey let them go!" shouted Yang as her semblance fired her up.

"Shut up, these two are coming with me and no one will stop me from taking them!" shouted Ireland bitterly.

"What do you want from them, do you work for Salem?" asked Qrow as his sword unfolded into a scythe.

Ireland frowned.

"Just let them come with me and that will be the end of it" she stated.

Everyone frowned at the young freckled girl.

"Let. Them. GO!" shouted Yang charging at Ireland, who pulled up another green force field, but this one was around her.

"Yang beat on the force field around Ireland while everyone else beat on the one Oscar and Ruby were in.

With all that was going against her, Ireland was having a hard time keeping up the force fields. After a few moments Ireland fell to her knees and both force fields vanished.

Yang then used her semblance to punch Ireland in the stomach, which knocked the green hooded girl back a few feet, the shot also shattered her green aura.

Everyone else surrounded Ireland, who was still on her knees trying to catch her breath and before she could reach for her bow everyone else pointed their weapons at her.

"Don't even think about it" Wiess warned as she pointed her sword closer to Ireland.

"Well said, now let's cut to the chase" said Qrow sternly "Who exactly are you and why did you try to kidnap part of our party?" he asked.

Ireland then looked up at everyone, what they all saw made their eyes widen. Tears were streaming down the green cloaked girl's face.

"I- I *sniff* can't tell you, just leave me alone!" Ireland shouted as she then started to run deeper into the woods.

Everyone else looked at eachother.

"Should we go after her?" asked Blake making everyone look to Qrow who looked where Ireland ran off to and shook his head.

"We should let her go, I think she's learned her lesson. We need to find shelter" stated Qrow.

As the group started to head in another direction, Oscar and Ruby could only stare at the spot in the trees where Ireland ran away. It was strange but both of them pitied the girl who tryed to kidnap them. She didn't seem like she worked for Salem, but rather she seemed like she needed them.

Oscar looked at Ruby, who looked back at him. While looking at each other they realized they were thinking and feeling the same way. The two then gave each other a nod and started to head in the same direction Ireland went, which Qrow and the others noticed.

"Ruby?" asked Yang.

Ruby and Oscar turned to her and the others and Yang's eyes widened when she realized what her sister and friend were planning on doing.

"Oh no. Oh no, no, no. NO WAY!" shouted the blonde huntress.

"Yang, we have to, she might need our help!" Ruby argued.

"Oh sure, someone who tried to kidnap you needs your help" stated Yang sarcastically while rolling her eyes.

"Ruby is right, we should at least check on her she seemed pretty upset" said Oscar as he and Ruby started to walk off to find Ireland again.

"Those two have a good point, I'm with them" exclaimed Maria as she walked behind Ruby and Oscar.

Qrow and the others sighed.

"Fine but if this girl works for Salem- Qrow started but was cut off by Ruby.

"She doesn't! I don't know how but I just now she doesn't work for Salem!" Ruby shouted.

Oscar then put his hand on the red cloaked girl's shoulder.

"Same here, it's just the way she acted…. She didn't seem like she wanted to fight but at the same time she couldn't help it, she looked desperate" stated the green eyed boy.

Ruby smiled at him.

"I'm glad someone agrees with me" she said as she touched Oscar's hand on her shoulder, making Oscar blush.

"*Ahem* yeah we should see if Ireland's ok" said the former farm boy as he gently took his hand off of Ruby's shoulder.

After a small argument everyone went to find Ireland, who they found deep in the woods, sitting on a tree stump. Her hood was on her head, her green cape was flowing in the winter breeze, and green rose petals were falling off of it and vanishing within moments. Finally Ireland held a small paper in her hand and she was looking at it sadly.

"Ireland?" asked Ruby, trying to get a look at the paper in the girl's hand, who quickly put in away when she saw what Ruby was trying to do.

"What do you want?" asked Ireland in a voice that sounded like she had been crying.

Ruby hesitated before kneeling down beside Ireland and reaching out and pulling down the girl's hood. And what Ruby saw made her heart shatter for a reason she could not explain. Ireland had tear stains on her cheeks and her eyes were red.

"Ireland, why did you try to kidnap us?" asked Oscar gently as he kneed down beside Ruby.

Ireland looked at Oscar and Ruby's gentle faces and wiped her face with her sleeve.

"I did it because I was worried you wouldn't agree to come with me, you have to understand you two are the only ones who can save my parents, family, and friends!"

Oscar and Ruby looked at eachother.

"Save them from what?" asked Ruby.

Ireland hesitated.

"... Salem" the green cloaked girl whimpered.

Everyone's eyes widened.

"How do you know about Salem?" questioned Yang.

Ireland looked down, afraid to answer. Ruby noticed this and put her hand on the girl's shoulder.

"It's ok Ireland, you can tell us" she stated gently.

"Ireland gave Ruby the smallest of smiles and looked up at the group.

"Where I'm from everyone knows about Salem, who was defeated by Oscar and Ruby here around this time or something" said Ireland.

Everyone in the group gave her a confused look.

"What do you mean? Salem can't be defeated, and what do you mean by "was defeated" where are you from exactly?" asked Qrow slowly reaching for his weapon.

Ireland bite her lip.

"What I mean is…. I'm from the future, and Salem has returned and I need your help to defeat her, again"
