Yo Peeps, GateMasterGreen here with a new story, foolish though it may be. I had the idea while reading Remnant's Reclaimer (read it, cuz it be awesome) and while I only used one little slip of plot from that fic, the rest is mine. The plot piece of which I borrowed is that speed is what caused the time travel of a character. Now, onward!
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY!
Team RWBY were positioned in a circle, backs facing one another as they stared at the horde of encroaching Grimm. Weapons raised, the prepared to fight for their lives before a pop of air sounded behind them, in the center of the dais. They all glanced back to see a girl their age, crouched down and slowly rising, dust settling around her. Her hair was cut like Ruby's, but where the leader of RWBY had red tinges, the mystery teen had purple ones. She glanced up, silvery yellow eyes taking in the four as well as the number of Grimm. Flashing the team a smile, she spoke. "Mind if I help?"
Ruby nodded, a bit awestruck of the girl's sudden appearance. "Go ahead. I don't mind at all."
They took note of her weapons, both of which were very familiar. Resting on the back of her waist was what seemed to be a darker replica of Crescent Rose, but the sword on her back screamed Gambol Shroud. The teen unsheathed the familiar katana from its cleaver like sheath before her formed shimmered and she disappeared.
Team RWBY's heads jerked around at the sound of a Grimm grunting in pain, only to see its severed form drop. A series of slashing sounds followed by thuds of collapsing Grimm met their ears and they could only watch as the creatures fell. The only ones that remained were those with tougher hides or of bigger size. A Taijitu hissed at them, preparing to strike, when Nora appeared out of nowhere and slammed it into the ground. "Hehehe! This is fun!"
A shimmer in the air beside Ruby solidified into the mystery teen who smirked at the team. "You gonna fight or what?"
Thus joined RWBY in the battle. The quick efforts of all present suppressed the Grimm force and soon all was righted in the streets of the town. Team RWBY were now cornering the new girl, Weiss a bit miffed at her interruption of their fight. "Who are you, anyways?"
The girl gave them a thumbs up as she introduced herself. "My name is Nyx Rose, Huntress in training."
Blake eyed Nyx's weapons again. "Are you related to Ruby? And is that why you wield Crescent Rose as well?"
Nyx pulled the rifle of her waist and shrugged. "I still don't know why they keep calling my scythe that. That was what my mom named hers. Mine is Night Rose." The girl looked up at them again before sighing. "And yes, I'm related to Ruby Rose, she's my mom. Why's it important?"
Ruby's head felt a bit light as she answered. "Because I'm Ruby Rose."
Nyx blinked before laughing. "No you're not."
Yang wasn't amused by that. "Um, yes. My sister is."
The girl scoffed at that. "And next thing you know, you'll be saying that you're Team RWBY. Right... Now cut it with the jokes."
"I'm sorry to say that this isn't a joke." Replied Blake. "We are Team RWBY, I am Blake Belladonna." She began pointing at the others. "And they are Yang Xiao Long, Weiss Schnee, and Ruby Rose."
Nyx staggered back in surprise, eyes wide with disbelief. Tone desperate, she pointed at Blake. "What's your favorite book?"
A blush lit up the faunus' cheeks, but she replied, "Ninjas of Love."
"And you," she pointed at Ruby. "What is your favorite food?"
Ruby shrugged, but answered. "I like strawberries, but cookies are a close second."
The girl rubbed her temples and groaned. "Well, fudge a duck. Mom was right, then."
Weiss frowned, skeptical. "About what?"
Pale gold eyes looked into ice blue. "She said that she went so fast one time that she went back in time just a few minutes. I didn't believe her, but she said that I should be careful with my semblance."
Yang appraised her. "Why?"
Nyx smiled bashfully. "I'm faster than mom!"
Weiss interjected again. "So, who are your parents again? You said Ruby was one, but I get the feeling your hiding something."
"Quite perceptive, Aunt Weiss." She replied, hair moving on her head slightly as two cat ears perked up from atop her skull. "I'll reintroduce myself; I am Nyx Rose, daughter of Ruby Rose and Blake Belladonna." She pointed at her weapons. "You already know Night Rose, so I should let you know that the sword is Gambol Shroud."
Yang's brow furrowed. "Isn't that what Blake's is called too?"
Nyx nodded. "It has the same name because it is the same weapon. It is mother's weapon."
"And why does the me who gave it to you not wield it?" Inquired Blake. Had something happened to her in the future?"
"You upgraded." Came the reply. "Switched out for Dancing Shadow and gave me Gambol Shroud." She looked at her scythe. "Mom helped me make Night Rose with some of her old schematics for her weapon."
Weiss crossed her arms, still a bit disbelieving. "And you can wield both?"
Nyx huffed. "Yes, I can. Mom and Mother taught me how to use them. I'm not stupid."
Ruby chuckled nervously. "Um, guys. Maybe we should head back to Beacon. We should tell Professor Ozpin about this."
The others looked at her and agreed.
XXXGMGXXX
The Headmaster sighed before adjusting his glasses. "Is that so?"
Ruby nodded stiffly. "Yes, Professor Ozpin."
"Very well." He said. "She will join your team until we have belief that we can send you back to your proper time, Nyx."
Nyx saluted him. "Aye aye, Cap'n Ozzie!"
The Headmaster gave an amused smile before waving them off. "You're dismissed."
XXXGMGXXX
Back in the dorm, the five had set about figuring out a plan for sleeping arrangements. Well, except Ruby and Blake, who were conversing about a different subject altogether. Both were blushing, but Blake seemed to be handling her embarrassment better. "So, with what she's said, one would conclude..." The faunus trailed off.
Ruby nodded. "Yup. Does that mean that we have to get together?" Realizing what she had said, she stammered out, "Not that I don't want to, just curious is all."
Blake smiled lightly. "No, we do not have to do anything." At Ruby's downcast look, she added, "Not that we won't."
"So," Ruby started. "Perhaps we should go on a date, if you want?"
Blake nodded in affirmation. "That would be nice."
"While that's all well and good," Nyx said, cutting in to their little moment. "You two could stop playing schoolgirl kissy face and help figure out the sleeping arrangement."
Yang grinned at the realization of their little 'moment' and what it meant. "Maybe the two love birds can share a bed. Nyx is your daughter after all. Don't the parents do what's best for the kid and all that?"
Blake blinked in surprise that Yang would suggest that but replied anyways. "Fine, but Ruby will share with me. I'd rather not test if her bed can hold two people."
Ruby looked affronted. "Are you challenging my craftiness?"
Four voices spoke back. "Yes!"
