WARNING: Gore. Although not extremely detailed, but at least be advised that this includes gore okay? Okay cool.
A/N: Okay look, I know you probably think I'm fucked up for this but I just wanted freedom and here it is, I was given freedom so I combined some things, plus I noticed how there's not enough Ruby x Neo out there so I thought I could add something to it, although it will NOT be a focus of the story, oh hell no. So if you don't enjoy gore or Ruby x Neo, I advise you skip this one.
Moon Dragon:
Burn Him
Burn him, throw him into the hellfire, purge him, cleanse him, mutilate him, destroy him, corrupt him, make him beg for death, dangle life before him like bait so when he takes it he's lured to deaths cold and merciless hand. Strap him to a stake and burn his foul heresy like the maiden before him.
Those were the thoughts of a young reaper with crimson hair, a tattered short red cape held to her torso by pins in the shape of upside-down crosses and a damaged blood red scythe resting menacingly on her shoulder.
"Ruby snap out of it! This isn't you!" A girl in black shrieked kneeling before the crimson girl, her hands tied behind her back by some ropes.
"She's the useless one." A whisper inside of Rubys head said. "Yes, her existence is a misery. Show her mercy. Show her mercy. Show her mercy!" Another whispered back.
"Give it up Blake. She's gone" Another girl dressed in white said depressingly with her head bowed.
"NO! She's still in there Weiss. She is! I know it." Blake screamed at Weiss with tears running down her face like a waterfall.
"NO SHE ISN'T!" Weiss hissed back, throwing her head up to face Blake next to her with just as much tears consuming her face as Blake.
"I have to try." Blake struggled to free her hands, she tried pulling her hands apart as hard as she could, but nothing. The rope wasn't even phased by her attempts.
"I... I have to-" Blake gave up on her words, she loosened her body and bowed her head in defeat letting her tears drop onto the cobblestone floor.
Ruby held her scythe Crescent Rose in one hand standing behind Blake, she placed its curved blade around Blake's neck lightly piercing her skin, blood left the small incision and ran from her neck filling up the various deep scratches in the metal blade. She gently pulled the scythe upwards bringing Blake's head with it as she gasped for breath. Blake's head now faced forwards, her tears dripped into the blood as she squawked for breath one last time, closing her eyes she could hear Weiss hyperventilate beside her and Ruby clutching the trigger on her scythe.
"Show her mercy." Ruby muttered to herself pulling the trigger of Crescent Rose.
Blake's head left her shoulders while Crescent Rose left Ruby's hand, as Blake's head fell towards the ground, the scythe flew through the air. They both hit the ground at the same time and both with a thud, Blake's body followed shortly after hitting the ground and the side of the head that was once attached it causing it to roll into Weiss' vision.
Weiss shut her eyes, forcing out more tears.
"WHY?! WE TRUSTED YOU! YOU WAS OUR FRIEND! WE... I LOVED YOU!" Weiss screamed, choking on her tears, drooling from her mouth and snot running from her nose.
"I LOVED HIM!" Ruby shrieked back.
"WHY US? IT WASN'T OUR FAULT." Weiss' shout echoed the cathedral like hall they were in.
Ruby walked up to Weiss with a face full of all seven sins, and a murderous red glint in her silver eyes.
"You gave me this." Ruby knelt down to Weiss' level and ran her finger across a scar over her right eye, almost identical to the one Weiss had herself.
"So this is what it's about. A GRUDGE?! It was never about him." Weiss stared Ruby down with disgust.
"It was all about him." Ruby said deeply, standing up on her feet.
"Then why did you kill him?" Weiss' head followed Ruby as she stood up.
"Because he took everything away from me." As Ruby stood up, a short girl with white, pink and brown hair walked to her side presenting a rapier in her palms. The blade in her left palm and the handle in her right. The rapier was exquisite and it had a colour coded rotating revolver chamber.
Ruby grabbed the rapier from the girls hands by the handle and inspected it, running her finger along its smooth blade.
"You're a hypocrite." Weiss snarled with disgust.
The reaper stared down at Weiss like a devil, she looked at her with disgust, Weiss returned the stare.
"Probably." Ruby said stabbing Weiss through the heart with her own sword.
Weiss gasped as her blood stained through her ice white dress, causing the blood to spread through the dress, absorbing into the fabric, mixing with the white majestically. Weiss' last thoughts drifted through her life in the past four years:
"My life never really began until four years ago when I met a dolt, a klutz. I believe she even had 'crater face' from the day we met; didn't catch on though. The life we had was simple at first, but then we started fighting crime like the hero's in those books that Blake had stacked on her shelf, all of them bookmarked by Ruby. Truly I hated her when we first met, but as time went on I grew to tolerate her awkwardness and unpleasant energy. As time went on, I fell for her. Although, she never felt that for me, she had her eyes on a different prey. She joined into a triangle, she was the second base of said triangle, two girls after one boy. One pathetic boy. But I envied him."
There Weiss was laying on the freezing cold ground staring up at the ceiling with two dried eyes full of nothingness, lifeless. A pool of blood gathering around her equally as lifeless body, still impaled by her rapier Myrtenaster.
Ruby turned her back to Weiss' lifeless body and walked away not looking back.
"Was that mercy?" Asked a girl with hair like the sun, and lavender eyes.
"It was was mercy enough" Ruby bitterly replied as she walked past the girl.
1 Year Prior:
Team RWBY consisting of: Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long all slacked in the suns unforgiving rays as all the girls lounged on their beds sweating buckets.
"Weeeeeeeeisssss." Ruby lazily moaned throwing her hand up into the air and looking through the gaps between her fingers.
"What!" Weiss snapped.
"You're supposed to be the ice queen. Do something." Ruby ordered dropping her left arm over her forehead.
"Well, one I'm not an ice queen. And two, what do you expect me to do about it[?]Freeze the sun perhaps[?]" Weiss responded with sarcasm.
"He's standing outside the door if you do get the urge." Blake butted in keeping her nose tucked in a book.
"Oh is he now?" Weiss slid herself off the bed and picked up her rapier which originally rested on the pillar of her bunk. As Weiss elegantly brought herself into a combat stance and raised her sword to meet her eyes she felt a light tug on her shoulder by Yang.
"Stand back snow angel, I got this." She said boldly with a smirk across her face and giggling to herself as she walked towards the door cocking her gauntlets.
"Oh are we all using nicknames for me now[?]" Weiss asked with more sarcasm, stomping her feet on the ground.
Yang could hear quiet snickering from behind the door, which in turn made her giggle to herself a small bit.
"Hey Weiss, how much Lien would a door cost?" Yang shouted to the ice queen who was just putting herself back into bed.
"Around 33,333 Lien." Weiss replied relaxing in her bed with her eyes closed.
Yang smiled and brought her fist to the door, aiming up a punch. She pulled back her arm and punched straight through the wooden door hitting the boy stood behind it in the jaw throwing him against the hallway wall.
"Pathetic." Yang rebuked with a deep voice.
Sun ran off screaming in the hallway with his arms flailing in the air, as Yang chuckled to herself.
"So who's paying for the door?" Asked Blake finally bringing her nose out from her book.
"Weiss of course." Yang blurted scratching at the back of her head.
"You wish. I was cut off remember." Said Weiss with a stress free voice as she readjusted herself on her bed with her hands pillowing her head and her eyes closed.
"Right, Blakey-"
"No." Blake interrupted Yang slamming her face back into her book.
"I guess I'll go get the money from that monkey creep." Yang said boasting her arm in the air.
"You could always try Ruby?" Blake proposed.
"Yeah." Weiss agreed.
Ruby's eyes darted open, clearly she was not amused by this betrayal, but this was unknown to her teammates as she was just laying there in silence.
"No guys, that's Ruby's money, plus Sun is the one who broke it so I'll get the money from him." Yang defended Ruby as she started walking through the doorless doorway leaving the room.
"She's the one who broke it." Blake said completely disregarding the fact that her younger sister was still in the same room.
"Yeah, why did it have to be us? She could have easily saved up with Ruby to get that money. But then again, that Faunus clearly has money that doesn't belong to him, so maybe it's for the better if she got a 'tip' from him." Weiss partially agreed again.
"What!?" Blake snapped closing her book at throwing it at Weiss'.
"What was that for?" Weiss exasperated, jumping from her bunk.
Blake did the same and the two girls both stared at each-other with hatred.
"After all we've been through, you still haven't changed?!" Blake argued clenching her fists with rage.
Present Day:
The constant ticking of the clock on the corroded concrete wall, the small porthole of a window letting in the most minute of light, a poorly made and ripped bed with springs protruding from the mattress, all this broken furniture yet a pristine oak desk pushed against the wall next to a doorway also sat in that room giving it a murky charm. The crimson reaper sat at that desk scratching her nails on the wood, and occasionally tapping at it. Her head was bowed and tears ran from her eyes as she screamed cries of confusion.
"Are you so sure that was mercy Ruby?" A blonde girl asked leaning on the doorway.
Ruby jumped from the desk spooked scraping the chair she sat on across the cobblestone floor.
"What, do you want to lecture me? Talk me out of this?" Ruby questioned taking a hard step forward.
"You can't talk yourself out of something without a nudge." Yang responded with the calmest voice imaginable as she sprung herself onto her feet.
"I don't want to be talked out of it!" Ruby declared through an audible shout.
"If that was the case, I wouldn't be here." Yang claimed as she walked past her younger sister and hugged her around the neck from behind placing her head upon her shoulder.
Ruby began to cry uncontrollably, wiping her tears away with her fists.
"Please sis. Stay pure, stay innocent, do it for us. We loved you, I hope you can keep your sanity one day." Yang whispered into Ruby's ear as she vanished from existence.
"Loved?" Ruby mumbled through her tears and turning around to see nothing but a blank cracked wall staring at her.
Ruby's knees felt weak, wobbling and finally giving way sending her to the ground in tears, screaming and bellowing.
After some time the echos of Ruby's cries finally came to a standstill, she was on her knees in the middle of her cold room, her face was puffed up with red and with trails of tears running all over her damp cheeks. Then the short girl from earlier arrived at her doorway with her hands behind her back and a smug grin over her face, she strode over to the girl and placed her hand on the back of Ruby's shoulder, it would be almost comforting if the girl wasn't a cold blooded murder much like the reaper before her.
She circled around the girl still keeping her hand on her shoulder, once she stood in front of Ruby she sat on her knees in front of her.
"N...Neo?" Ruby sniffled as Neo wiped away a running tear from the girls chin.
Neo smiled and leaned in smacking her lips against Ruby's, she pushed Ruby to the ground and continued to dominate Ruby's mouth like she did simultaneously with her body.
