Chapter 1
Ruby got onto a launch pad next to all of her friends. She zoned out Ozpin as he spoke and took a deep breath to calm her anxiety. Then a sudden bright light flashed blinding everyone on the cliff.
"What was that!" Weiss screamed.
Everyone rubbed their eyes trying to get the vision back in them.
"Should we postpone the initiation, Professor?" asked with concern.
"No we'll continue, . " Ozpin said.
The witch nodded. "Prepare to launch, Trainees."
"But i-" Jaune was cut off as they were launched into the air.
As they closed in on the forest ground, Ruby extended her scythe and hooked it around the tree, she spun around the tree all the way to the ground. 'I wonder what that flash of light was...' she could hear her sister Yang's shotgun gauntlets going off in the distance. 'First got to link up with Yang.' She followed the noise and ran quickly through the forest. After ten minutes of running she ran smack dab into someone.
"Watch where you're going idiot!" Ruby tensed and looked back to see Weiss and Weiss looked at her, they both groaned.
"I am not working with you." Weiss stated and started walking away. Ruby sighed and followed after her. "Weiss wait!"
Weiss looked behind her to find Ruby not there. "Ruby?"
"I'm over her Weiss!" She looked in front of her to see Ruby a couple of feet in front of her. "When did you get over there?"
Weiss watched Ruby disappear in a flurry of rose pedals. Weiss was in awe then felt something tap her shoulder, she looked over her shoulder to see Ruby. "I'm fast, Weiss."
Weiss shook out of her daze and scoff. "But you're still a child." She continued walking. Ruby groaned and cut down a tree next to her but they didn't notice a large black feather fall silently to the ground. As they tried to walk towards the forest center, they heard gun shots in the distance. Then they heard something growl, Weiss turned over her shoulder to find Ruby gone. "Ruby?!"
The growling was getting louder and Weiss turned back to the bush to see a lot of red eyes staring at her. She backed up and drew her rapier and loaded it with red dust. As she did that the Grimms known as Beowolves stepped out of the brush. They snarled and growled at her and circled her. "Ruby where did you go...okay Weiss, you don't need her. Remember your training, left foot back, Rapier in front. Alright looking good."
Weiss charged up her fire dust attack just as a beowolf jumped at her but out of nowhere Ruby appeared and killed the beowolf. Weiss had to redirect her shot at a tree in which caught on fire and fell over. "What the hell Ruby!"
"What?!" Ruby yelled as she back pedal towards Weiss.
"Why did you get in the way, I could have killed you?!"
"I told you I got it!"
"Yeah a little too late!"
They watched the Beowolves closing in on them. Two Beowolves jumped at them, Ruby slashed and killed one while Weiss stabbed it through the chest, causing the Grimm to evaporate immediately. They were instantly replaced by four more Beowolves.
"Duck Weiss!"
Weiss didn't hesitate and ducked as Ruby spun her Scythe as a bunch of Beowolves jumped at them. As Ruby continued her spin cycle, Weiss saw a Beowolf Major standing back with a whole horde of smaller Beowolves surrounding it. Also the fire had spread rapidly blocking any exit.
"Weiss I can't keep his up for much longer!" Ruby complained.
"You have to or we'll be Beowolf food!"
"I...can't." Ruby said as her scythe began to slow down.
The Beowolf Major howled and the other Beowolves advanced towards them. Weiss started firing off balls of fire into the approaching horde and Ruby switched her scythe into its sniper mode and did the same but it barely did anything to shorten their numbers.
'Is this the end?!' Ruby thought as she felt something land behind.
Ruby and Weiss looked over their shoulder to see a very tall blue robot standing behind them holding some kind of gun.
'Who in the world?!' Both Ruby and Weiss thought.
"My name is Michael J. Caboose and I hate mean doggies!" Caboose yelled as he placed the gun onto his back and he charged past them into the horde. He sent beowolves flying in every direction as he ran through them.
'Woah!' Ruby thought as she watched Caboose grabbed a beowolf by the tail and spun around using the Grimm as a weapon. Weiss once again went silent and watched in awe. The Beowolf major backed away as it saw it's subordinates being destroyed.
A beowolf leapt at Caboose but was caught in the super soldiers grips instead by the throat. He snapped the neck and threw it into the horde. Then he pulled his gun off his back. "Freckles, open fire!"
"Yes, Sir." The gun responded in a robotic voice and fired upon the horde with deadly accuracy. The Beowolf Major howled and the pack scattered to the wind. Caboose took a deep breath and put Freckles on his back.
"That...was...freaking...amazing!" Ruby yelled.
Caboose turned towards the short girls and smiled behind his helmet. "Y-you think so?!"
"That was pretty amazing." Weiss said under her breath.
"What did you say Weiss?" Ruby asked.
"Um...You're such a child."She scoffed and walked away.
Ruby groaned then looked at Caboose. "So your name is...Michael, right?"
"Yeah but you can call me Caboose, nice lady!" He answered.
Ruby slightly blushed. "Thanks but the name is Ruby."
"Nice to meet you, Ruby," Caboose said. "Do you know where I am?"
"You're not from here?"
Caboose shook his head. "I don't remember, how I got here."
'Maybe he was the flash of light.' Ruby thought.
"Ruby come one we got to find the forest center!" Weiss yelled.
"Hold on!" Ruby yelled back. "Come with us, Caboose."
"Okay, come on Freckles." Caboose said and put his gun on his back.
"Yes, Sir." The gun responded.
"You're Weapon talks!" Ruby yelled as they walked after Weiss.
"Yeah, it's pretty cool." Caboose smiled.
"What do you wish to know, Ma'am?" The gun asked Ruby as if it read her mind.
Ruby squealed with delight and asked. "Do you have a name?!"
"My name is Freckles, Caboose's personal A.I." The gun said. "My memory banks are messed up and that is all I remember."
"HURRY UP!" They heard Weiss yell.
"I don't like mean ladies!" Caboose said with a little fear.
"I think Weiss would be more scared of you but she...isn't mean...you just gotta get used to her." Ruby said as they picked up speed.
'Maybe Weiss and Ruby will be my friends ...maybe just Ruby.' Caboose thought as he ran alongside them.
-25 minutes later-
Yang and Blake arrived at the strange ruin in the forest center to find chess pieces. "Which one should we get?" Blake asked.
Yang walked over and grabbed the white knight. "How about a cute little pony."
Blake smirk."Sure."
A feminine scream shatter the silence of the forest. "Some girls in trouble!" Yang looked over at Blake. "Blake did you hear that!"
Blake didn't respond for she was looking up at the sky.
"Heads uppppppp!" Ruby screamed as she fell from the sky. Yang looked up.
"RUBY, WE NEED TO CATCH HER!" Yang screamed as she looked at Blake.
"She is falling too fast, we won't be able to catch her in time!" Blake said. "Wait what is that behind her!"
Yang looked back up to see a large blue robot scoop Ruby up in its arms and moved to make its feet face the ground.
"What is that?!" Blake asked no one.
"I don't know but if it saves my sister then it all okay with me!" Yang answered.
-Ruby and Caboose-
"Caboose, why did you jump?!" Ruby screamed and pulled herself closer to his chest plate.
"Because you said to and I also thought it was a good idea!" Caboose yelled back as they closed on the ground faster.
"If we make it out of this alive, you're going to be my best friend!" Ruby yelled.
"Really!"
"Yes, Caboose!"
"Yay!" Caboose brought Ruby closer to him.
The ground was 400 ft away and Caboose prepared himself for the rough landing. He hit the ground like a meteor causing the earth to shake and making a crater.
"Did your sister just fall out of the sky with a robot?" Blake asked.
"I..."
Before she could continued, they heard roars come from the forest in front of them. A Ursa comes out, claws swinging, just as a pink blast of energy hit it on the back and it crashed to the ground flinging Nora off of it. She rolled and got back up.
"Awww it's broken!" Nora said as she dashed back towards it and examined the corpse. Ren ran out of the forest and leaned against the corpse. He was panting heavily.
"Nora! Please...Don't ever do that again!" He looked up to see Nora at the temple.
She grabbed a rook and began to sing and dance. "I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!"
"Nora!" Ren shouted.
Nora saluted and said before dashing over to him. "Coming Ren!"
"Did that girl ride in on a Ursa?" Blake asked.
"I..."
Once again Yang was cut off by a screech. They looked in that direction and saw Pyrrah running from a Deathstalker with Jaune still holding onto the stinger.
"HELP ME, PYRRHA!" Jaune screamed.
"Just hold on, Jaune!" Pyrrha yelled back.
Ruby and Caboose came out of the forest to see the Deathstalker chasing Pyrrah
"That is a big bug!" Caboose said.
"Follow me, Caboose!" Ruby said as they rushed over to Yang and Blake.
Out of the corner of her vision she saw something blue and red coming towards them. Yang looked over to see her sister and the Blue robot. "Ruby!"
"Yang!" Ruby said as she was about to give her sister a hug when Nora appeared between them and said her name. Caboose smiled and said his name as well. Yang, Blake, Ren and Nora looked at Caboose with surprise looks.
"Oh yeah, this is Caboose," Ruby introduced him better. "Caboose this is my Sister Yang, Blake, Ren and Nora."
He looked at the blonde woman as she approached him. She stopped in front of him and stared up into his visor. Caboose began to feel nervous of the smaller girl in front of her.
"You're tall," Yang said before give him a hug. "Thank you for saving my sister!"
Caboose smiled and his nervousness faded as he picked her up in a hug. "You're welcome, nice lady!" Yang laughed and he set her back down.
"Wow you're pretty strong, Caboose." Yang commented.
"Yeah, I am pretty strong." Caboose said while scratching his helmet. "...That's a good thing right?"
"Yeah it is!" Yang said as she punched his forearm and made his stumble a little bit. Then out of nowhere Jaune landed near the group with Pyrrha landed on top of him.
"I'm sorry, Jaune!"
"Its...okay...Pyrrha."
Ruby looks up and yanks on Yang sleeve. "Um...Yang." They all looked up to see Weiss holding onto the Nevermore's talon roughly the same size of her.
"How could you both leave me!" Weiss screamed.
"I told you to jump!" Ruby yelled back.
"It was a good idea!" Caboose called up.
"She is gonna fall." Blake said.
"She'll be fine." Ruby said.
"She is falling." Ren commented.
"I will save mean lady!" Caboose dashed towards the white haired girl who fell from the bird.
Caboose ran under the falling Weiss, "and, I caught the mean lady!" He yelled as he held out his arms and caught her.
"Let me down!" Weiss yelled at the super soldier.
"Will you be my friend?"
"Why?" Asked the girl still being held by him.
"Because I want another friend."
"Will you let me down if I say yes?"
"I don't know what you mean, so I will nod and say yes. Yes." He said while nodding.
"Good! Now that we are all here, we can die together!"
"Not if I can help it!" Ruby let out a battle cry and dashed toward the Deathstalker
"Ruby wait!" Yang screamed at the girl running towards the Grimm.
Ruby fires Crescent Rose and charges towards the oncoming Deathstalker. As they made contact, the Deathstalker smacked her away. She hit the ground and got back up slowly. "Don't worry...I'm okay!" She turned her scythe into its sniper mode and fired at the Grimm, then she ran and sheath her scythe as the Deathstalker started chasing her.
"Ruby!" Yang screamed and ran towards her.
