Bold means timing Italic means thoughts
Why can't people stop dying, people I care about, people I love, even my friends? Why must this happen? Why can't this happen differently? Differently than what did happen. … why?
These were the last thoughts of Ruby Rose, just as her vision was full of light. The last thing she saw before this was, Pyrrha, her friend died. Right in front of her too. Was this the work of a god, mad with our choices, our lives, … everything.
5 Hours Ago
"Yannnnnnnng, do your best !", Ruby exclaimed, as loud as she could, was what, Yang, heard from the crowd out of millions, cheering on a fight that has yet to happen.
This was the annual Vytal festival and the students of Beacon, Haven, Atlas, and Shade academies were participating in the Vytal tournament. What was happening is the 2v2 battles of the tournament. Right now Yang Xiao Long is about to fight Mercury Black.
"I'm having a lot of deja vu right now."
"One, how would you know the word, yet know when to use it, Ruby?"
"I don't know, I just feel like I've been through this already. Weiss, you wouldn't understand at all"
"You think no one understands y… you dolt" with this Weiss quieted Ruby. And knowing Ruby, she probably has seen something like this before and probably doesn't remember it. As the leader, she should try to remember things like this for later strategies.
"Again you shouldn't call people dolts unless you mean it," Ruby worriedly said taking Weiss out of her thoughts.
While this was all happening Blake was watching the duel. She was wondering why Yang's has not activated her semblance and or why it wasn't activated yet. Just as she thought that Yang's semblance activated with a giant explosion behind her. But Blake smelt something fishy(figuratively), she couldn't put her finger on it.
"You guys, shouldn't we cheer on Yang. She's about to win" finally Blake got both of them to quiet down and listen.
".. I don't want to know what you two were talking about." cutting off both of them.
"Just one question Blake, do you feel like you've seen this before or something like that"
"Why do you ask Ruby?"
"Cause I have a really big deja vu feeling right now and I can't figure out why"
"You know it could be anything, hey are you cravings cookies right now?"
"No, maybe, yes, I don't know, how does that mean anything to this"
"You always are craving cookies, Ruby, you don't change" Weiss finally stopped Ruby's worrying. So when Yang finished the match everyone cheered including Team RWBY. Then something horrible happened.
"..." silence and gasps came from everyone in the stadium.
As Yang finished the battle she heard something …
"Hey blondie, I'm not done with you yet" this was said as Mercury was coming at Yang, full speed. As Yang is Yang, she instinctively threw a punch to stop his attack. …
One Hour to fall of Beacon
Next up in the battle line up was Pyrrha Nikos vs. Penny Polendina. As the battle starts Penny gets out her sword-like puppets so she can attack. What Penny and Pyrrha did not know, neither did the rest of the audience, was that an outside force had other ideas on how the world viewed all the kingdoms. So what Pyrrha saw was that 10 swords looked like 1,000 to her. So …
Ruby got help from Wiess to help get to the top of the tower at Beacon. And as soon as she reached the top she saw Pyrrha next to the dead body of Cinder. But Pyrrha was still in battle but with what…. As soon as ruby thought this she saw the claw. She saw that Pyrrha was going to die. But then her vision turned to white and …
One Week After the Fall of Beacon
Ruby's Perspective
I, the leader of Team RWBY, just finished my job of repairing one of the walls at Beacon. I was walking back to the dorms to drop off my things so I can see my friends and talk.
I wonder when the next time I get to eat cookies again, cause the bakery is out of commission for a while. … here we are, … the dorms.
The Dorms of Beacon did not get quite a beating unlike the rest of the school. So it didn't take long to fix it up and everything. Next on the list was the infirmary. The infirmary was rebuilt quickly in order to get the injured students care. And that's where I'm heading, to visit the infirmary.
" Who are you coming to see, darling" the nurse said quietly.
"I'm coming here to see Yang Xiao Long"
"Ok then, sign here and she is in room 209"
"Thanks so much," I said hurriedly.
As I walk the numbers go up 101, 102, 103 … 120,121,122, … 130,131, 132,133 … I think that things are getting better, though there might be another Grimm invasion. 209 … here we are. I open the door very slowly to make sure that I did not wake up the dragon.
"Yang are you in here?"
"I'm over here," Yang said
"How are you feeling?"
"I feel fine just that I'm really bored"
"I understand, did anyone but me come in to check up on you"
"Yeah Blake mostly came watched me while I slept, it felt weird but oddly comforting"
"That's nice", I said awkwardly, "um have you tried to put on the arm that Ironwood got for you made"
"No, but I should soon if I want to get out of here"
"Yep"
"Hey if tomorrow you hear Weiss … "
Oh crap, crap, crap, I forgot that Weiss is doing something for me in a bit. While I was worrying about Weiss, Yang saw the look on my face and said,
"Go ahead and do what you gotta do, anyways Blake is coming to see me, so I won't be alone"
"Thanks, see you later sis"
I walked or should I say speed through the halls to get to the courtyard where Weiss was waiting. Now whether it was really good timing or just coincidence that Weiss, a "Perfect Heiress", slammed into me, knocking the air out of my lungs. My two thoughts were … did I hit Weiss or … we hit each other trying to get to the same spot…
"You dolt were you trying to hit or … oh, sorry Ruby"
"No, its ok, just remind me why we are meeting again?"
"It's a surprise, I can't spoil it, you dolt"
Urgh, why must she use that word … "Can you at least tell me where we are going"
"Nope, even that will spoil the surprise", Weiss said energetically
Did we switch spots or what, "so … I have to follow you to where we are going and you said you wanted to tell me something"
"Yep, again it's a surprise" looks like I've been rubbing off on her … she's still the ice queen … my ice quee-
"Where are we?" I hate it when I space out, stupid brain stop spacing out all the time.
"Can't you tell"
"No, can you just tell me"
"Fine, fun sucker … "
"I usually call you that"
"Uhh, very much true but …"
"Can you please tell me why we are in the middle of nowhere"
"To make sure that no one is around," Weiss said sheepishly
There are a few times I remember Weiss acting like this, once when she wanted to do something important, the other when she wanted to confess something. Either one is fine, but the latter made me nervous, I really don't like being nervous in the middle of nowhere. Oh, that's right Weiss was talking. "Why would you need no one to be around?"
"I want to confess something" oh great she wants to confess something, now I'm really nervous … "Ruby, your face is as red as your hood"
"Ooh, that, it's just nothing, what were you saying"
"Uh, right I was going to confess that I- I …"
"You what… "
"I LOVE YOU!, ok I said it"
Ok, this is happening right now, I don't know what to say, this happened out of the blue and well … I'm shocked that she was able to say this without breaking down. Now, what do I say to make this moment a bit better … let's see … umm … oh I know, try confessing to her, but that will me make more nervous, … why must things be hard for me to do?
"Uhh, Ruby are you ok, how do you feel about this"
How do I feel about this, I mean I love this but, man trying to convince Weiss that its ok and stuff while trying to not to say "I love you, Weiss" I said that out loud didn't I…
"Uhh, Ruby do you mean it, do you mean what you said"
Yes I do mean what I said but why must this be hard for me to understand, why can't i help myself from loving Weiss, What do I see in the Ice Queen.
A/N: sorry about all the exposition its just so hard to get it out of my head, so I hope to see you guys in a couple of weeks.
PS: I promised myself that I wouldn't start shipping until later chapters but I love the idea of White Rose. also, there was some hinting to Bumblebee, but just wait and see(laugh and coughing at the same time)
So until 3/18/18
also, I might in the future combine the prologue and this chapter to make one I don't know, don't forget to review the criticism is very much needed [edited: I did do just that because it made more sense in my head]
come see this community community/RWBY-Alternate-History/126068/ this story is in it ... plus there are more stories similar to this.
NevTSC ;)
[edit - I went and did some corrections with grammar and mechanical errors with Grammarly.]
