Ruby: The Legendary Rozè

Chapter 1

Two girls run through a court yard of broken pillars, destroyed buildings and the remnants of their once proud school. One of the girls was our proud bubbly hero who smelt of roses and was best known for wielding her masterpiece the Crescent rose. The other girl was the heiress to one of the most powerful dust companies in all of Remnant. She could be seen dressed in all white holding her trusted rapier Myrtenaster. The closer and closer towards the entrance of the school. The look of what appears to be a dragon like grim circling the tower becoming clearer and clearer to them. A small buzzing sound coming from Weiss' skirt stops the two girls in their tracks. Weiss reaches in her pocket to find the source of the buzzing being her scroll.

"Jaune?" Weiss questioned.

"Please you have to stop her!" the boy exclaimed, his voice filled with panic. "Pyrrha, she is going to stop that woman at the top of the tower."

"Jaune what are you talking about, where are you?" Weiss said pacing back and forth.

"Don't worry about me! Please you have to save her." He throws his scroll into the rubble that surrounds him. He falls to his knees and in a desperate tone he says "You have to help her, please you have help Pyrrha."

Grim have now begun to circle the two girls feeding off the boys negative energy. Weiss and Ruby look around for a way out of the grim that keep coming ever so closer to them. Weiss locks and eyes with Ruby both of them seeming to have the same idea appear in the back of their mind. Ruby tries to speak, give an input about that situation, but is immediately shut down by the words that come out of Weiss' mouth.

"Ruby go!" Weiss demands do her best not to give Ruby any room to argue.

"What? I will not leave you weiss." Ruby stated as the grim approached ever closer almost completely cutting off all the girls room to make it to the school.

"Now is not the time Ruby! You're the faster one of the two of us, I can hold them off while you go and rescue Pyrrha." The younger girl wanted to protest, but was cut off by the look of determination that filled Weiss' blue eyes.

"Okay i'll go, but when I get back I expect to see you with the rest of us. Alive, you hear me Weiss." Ruby stated the tone in her voice showing that she was absolutely serious about this.

"Of course you dolt, now get going." Weiss said as she got herself into a battle ready stance. Ruby bolted towards the school, one of the grim saw Ruby break away from Weiss and used this as its chance to attack the lone girl in red. This creature was stopped in its track by a white glyph with a familiar snowflake symbol in the middle of it. Ruby looked over her shoulder to see Weiss pointing her rapier in the direction of the black beast. "Well dolt don't just stand there go save Pyrrha." Weiss said as she used her glyph to launch the beast back into the crowd of grim that lined up in front of them.

"Right!" Ruby bolted towards the tower using her Crescent rose's sniper function to propel herself over the line of grim. She landed on the roof that hung over the walkway that lead to the entrance of the school. She looked up along the tower's side to what appeared a line of white glyphs going up the side of the tower. She looked back at Weiss and smiled before using her weapon to launch her in the air at the glyphs. She then proceeded to run up the tower with all her might as fast she could.

Pyrrha was locked in a heated battle with the great and powerful Cinder. A woman who appeared to be unstoppable after not only killing their beloved headmaster ozpin, taking over the school of beacon academy, and have control over one of the strongest grim known to man. The sound of metal clashing with metal and explosions going off could be heard coming from the top of the tower. Pyrrha was using her semblance to launch her trusted weapons repeatedly at the blacked haired woman who dodged them all with the simplest of ease. Try as she might she could not seem to land even a single scratch on the fiery witch. Pyrrha held her leg in pain as an arrow pierced her ankle and caused a burning sensation to ride up her leg . A stray blast of fire comes from her right knocking her trusted shield Akoúo̱ out of her hand. She was left with only her Milo which she threw at the woman hoping it would hit. Cinder merely sidestep the spear and shot a fireball at Pyrrha knocking the redhead to the center of the tower.

"It's unfortunate, to be promised a power that was never truly yours." Cinder picks up the younger girl holding her by her neck with a smile on her face. "Don't worry you can have full faith knowing I will use it in ways you could only imagine." She steps back and crafts a bow out of the various metals around her, she pulls back on the metal string of the bow readying her shot.

Pyrrha tries to use any remains of her semblance to hopefully get out of the current predicament she is in . She can only look in the older woman's eyes and await her death. "Do you believe in destiny?" Pyrrha asks as she is dropped to knees by Cinder. Cinder positions the arrow directly above the untouchable girl's heart.

"Yes." Cinder smirks as she lets go of the string letting the arrow fly into Pyrrha's heart, the fire burning the poor girl's organ the instant it makes contact. Pyrrha feels fill up her entire core no pain comes only the eternal despair knowing she failed the world around her.

Ruby continues to run up the tower dodging nevermore feathers coming at her from both her left and right. She only hopes that she can make it to pyrrha in time and to stop cinder. She starts to get nervous as the sound of metal clashing and the flashes of golden fire fade. Ruby proceeds to pick up her speed even further pushing her semblance to the max. Once Ruby makes it to the top she is met with the horrifying image of her dear friend Pyrrha being struck with the glowing arrow. The arrow turns the redhead into nothing but glowing ash, leaving her famous golden tiara behind. Cinder faces the smaller silver eyed girl with a smirk on her face telling Ruby that she is too late.

"Nooooooo!" Ruby screams as two glowing lights flow out of her eyes, the sound of Cinder screaming in anger and the dragon screeching can be heard as the world around her fills with nothing but white. Ruby fades out of consciousness the last thing she sees is what looks like herself falling off the tower side.

Ruby wakes to the sound of two male voices arguing with each other one stern and proper the other playful and cruel. Her head was fuzzy, and the ringing in her ears wasn't helping her at all either. As she becomes more and more focused she sees that she is in a white void like room. No trees, buildings, or people around her for what seemed to be like ever Just two male figures standing in front of her one white with a black core, and the other black with a white core. "Well what did we expect was going to happen? She has no training, no experience; how did we honestly expect a little girl to take on someone like her?"

"The destruction was beautiful so I'm not complaining." The two figures noticed Ruby's movements and took it as a sign that she was waking up. "Welp looks like she's getting up, I will leave you to handle it then." said the darker figure as it left the void in a cloud of black smoke.

Ruby felt her body stiffen as she tried to stand up the previous day all coming back to her in the form of aches and pains. Her mind was not safe either the images of her failure and Pyrrha's death filling the back of her mind.

"You certainly have had better days haven't you, Miss Rose?" asked the figure stretching one hand out to try and lift Ruby to her feet.

"Who are you, where am I, what's going?" Ruby said frantically doing her best to figure out the situation she was in. The figure just looked at her sternly before walking a little further out into the white void.

"Let's start with your first question. You are Ruby Rose, daughter of Summer Rose and Taiyang Xiao Long, a prodigy at a very young age trained by your uncle Qrow. You were able to get into beacon academy at a very young age due to your skills being displayed when you were going after a Roman torchwick am I right so far. As for the second we are in a plane of existence that is outside the natural form of time and reality. Finally, for your third question I have an assignment for you." He motioned ruby with his hand to follow him for split second she hesitated until she felt herself floating towards his direction.

"Come now I don't have all day." the figure said walking further and further into the void with Ruby floating just behind him.

"Wait! How do you know all that information? And where are you taking me!?" Ruby yelled trying to break free from the invisible power that was holding her in the air.

"I will explain everything in a bit as to where I am taking you it's a place that I can make everything much clearer." The figure snapped its figures and next thing she knew she was consumed by a flash of light.

In what felt like only a second both Ruby and the figure were standing in front of a small wooden cabin with painted white walls. The cabin itself looked a lot like her house back in her hometown of Patch. The door opened on its own to show a small wooden square table with one chair on each edge with a plate of cookies in the middle of it.

"Are those chocolate chip?" Ruby said her face adorned with a full smile.

"Yes they are, I thought a little food might ease the tension after the events you've just experienced." The figure held out its arm motioning Ruby inside the cabin.

Ruby grabbed a couple of cookies and proceeded to devour said chocolate treats. "Now you must be curious to who I am and how I know all the information that I do." He looked to see ruby nodding quickly with a chocolate chip cookie still in her mouth and more in her hands. "I am the god of light the one who creates life, brings joy, peace, love and knowledge to the world." Ruby looked at the figure in front of her with a look that told the figure she didn't believe him for even a second. "It's true my dear, I am the god of light and you have been chosen by me to carry out a special task."

"What task?" said ruby as she swallowed another cookie and took one more in her hand.

"You were chosen to bring the world into true peace." the figure exclaimed proudly hands held in the air.

"True peace?" Ruby questioned not to sure of what to make of this whole endeavor.

"Yes, true peace you see the world you live in is facing a huge problem and no I'm not talking about the grim. No as it stand, humanity is on the verge of its own destruction and in turn the complete destruction of the world. Humanity was once a people of peace, but things like greed, dust, and war have been changing it. They are now going on the path of darkness and I have no way to stop it. That is where you come in my dear."

"Uh huh..." Ruby said her eyebrows moving upward to show she didn't believe any of it.

"It seems you still don't understand yet." The figure said calmly.

"Look I want to believe, but you have to agree that this is a little crazy right. How can I know that you are really who you say you are." The figure then walked out the door of the cabin, ruby followed behind closely unsure of what was going to happen next.

"Tell me Miss Rose can you still remember what the forest behind your school looks like." The figure said making a motion with its hands.

"Yeah, why?" Ruby asked confused as to what he meant. The figure said nothing only continued to move his hands in a symphony like fashion. In a mere matter of seconds the once empty void was now filled with a carbon copy of the Grim Forest that was behind Beacon Academy.

"Do you believe me now Miss Rose." Ruby nodded the best she could still awe struck by what she had just bared witness to. "Now back to business. This task I have for you Ruby is a very important one, you see Miss Rose I need you to save the entire world and stop darkness from taking it over. You don't have to worry, I will be helping you along the way plus you will be getting new abilities to make your task even easier."

"New abilities?" Ruby looked at him with confusion.

"Yes Miss Rose new abilities, you see your semblance is good, but if you're going to be able to face the real terrors that this world has to offer you're going to need to be stronger a lot stronger."

"Wait! Cinder wasn't the only one out there."

"No sadly, Cinder is only a mere pawn in a much more powerful woman's hand. You see Ruby the one really behind everything that is plaguing your world is a woman named Salem."

"So you want me to stop the Salem woman." Ruby said unsure of what kind of response to even give.

"Precisely." The figure stated proudly.

"But why me though shouldn't you being getting someone better like Pyrrha or an actual huntress or hunter."

"Miss Rose I am the god of light I make life and have a vast amount of knowledge that could dwarf all the libraries in the world of Remnant combined. So when I say that you are the only one that can complete this task then I mean it and plus you have something that Pyrrha or any hunter for that matter doesn't."

"What's that?" Asked Ruby still doubting everything this god was saying.

"You have silver eyes. And add on the additional bonuses you will have after I unlock the hidden potential of your semblance, plus a little gift of my own and I do believe we have what you humans call a recipe for success."

"Will I really be able to bring true peace to the world and help everyone out."

"Yes with practice and my help of course you will be able to save the whole world Ruby."

"How am I gonna practice?"

"You see Miss Rose that is the beauty of the space that we are in. This space stands outside the normal bounds of time and reality, so anytime that you need to master your new abilities will not be lost. Since there is no time to lose in the first place plus with my ability to create I can give you anything you will ever need to master everything I will give."

"Okay, let's do this!"

[one year later]

Ruby wiped the sweat off her brow after having just finished another morning training session. She had long lost the the simple red cloak she wore or the outfit she had used in the attack on beacon. She now wears a shorter skirt sash corset combo that come adorned with brown straps that connect a to a brown backpack that she uses to carry the various dust that she will need on the journey. During her one year training the god of light had expanded Ruby's knowledge of Salem, the maidens, the four relics of humanity, and even the gods themselves. She had all, but mastered her semblance, and the power of the silver eyes thought she was still working on the gift of creation that the god of light bestowed upon her.

"You've improved a lot ruby in the last year, I can now say that you are ready."

"I can't wait, I can finally stop Salem, save the world, and my friends. So when can I get back to them I really wanna see everybody and tell how strong I got."

"Yes you will be saving your friends, but I'm not sending you back to your own time. You see Miss Rose that time is too late, Salem has already established an army stopping her now would be pointless. No, I'm sending you back to before she can get anything started."

"Wait but you said you gave me this power to save my friends!"

"Yes and you will be doing just that by stopping Salem from even being able to launch her attack in the first place you will be saving your friends and the world as well." Ruby stood there thinking, one thing she learned from spending a year training with the god of light was to not jump into a situation without thinking.

"Okay I will do it I will stop Salem before anything happens." The figure just smiled at her and held out his hand above Ruby's head. She was then consumed by a blinding white flash of light, she used her arm to block her eyes. When she moved her arm she found herself standing in a familiar pathway made stone bricks that leads to the entrance of a school. Ruby looked left and right and saw what looked to see students on their way to the morning classes. Some of them looked to be older versions of her own classmates, she was confused as to what was going on. Until she heard a familiar name that spoke volumes in her mind.

"Qrow!"
