Welcome to my new story, If any of you read the other book I wrote, It is dead now. So, Enjoy my new story. Disclaimer: I do not own Rwby or anything except for the plot of this story.
"Where am I, and why is it so cold?" Ruby sat up from the makeshift bed she was on. Immediately pain started to shot through her body. She glanced down to figure out the cause and was met with the sight of scars. Then it all came back to her.
*Flashback*
3 months earlier
It was a simple mission for the class. Go into the forest with the assigned teams and kill a target Grimm pack that was terrorizing the village. What was a simple mission went south fast when the teams (Teams Rwby, CRDL, JNPR, and Team DWSH{Fan Team, Will need names and a weapon, If you want a character in this please message me the info}) got attacked by a an elder Grimm, a Deathstalker, that easily overpowered the Hunters-in-training and Huntress-in=training.
"We need to fall back, none of our weapons can do anything to harm it!" Weiss claimed while attempting to freeze it in place for it to only break out and continue to come at them. So far Yang, Nora, Jaune, and most members of team DWSH and CRDL were out of the fight from having not enough aura to fight or being knocked out in the case of Nora, Yang, and Jaune. Suddenly, Ren went flying over them and hit a tree putting him out of the fight. Weiss opened her scroll and sent out the emergency beacon out for evac. "We need to hold out until the bullheads get here."
"How long will that be Weiss?" Blake questioned as she got sent back from another hit from the beast.
"About 5 minutes at most." Weiss replied while launching more dust and using her glyphs to try doing what ever she could to put down or stop the beast that just marched right through it all. "However, by then we will all be dead." At this point, Ruby spoke out her thought of something they could do to hold out longer.
"Why not have all those that can fight lead them away from the injured and those that can't fight so we won't have to be guarding them from the beast and we can pay more attention to this beast." Ruby said while firing a round into it's eye. The deathstalker let out a cry of pain and charged at Ruby seeking vengeance.
"Okay Team DWSH, escort the others back to the town and get them medical attention." Blake shouted while running over to Ruby to provide assistance. Dove and Sky both went to help lure the beast away from team DWSH, but it was focused on Ruby at the moment and started to chase her as Ruby took of in the other direction.
"Ruby, try to lose it and double back so we can ambush it." Weiss shouted to the retreating form of Ruby. She then turned to the others who remained in the clearing. "Get in position and get ready."
*10 minutes later*
Ruby had yet to lose the deathstalker and was going to be entering the ambush zone soon, she just hoped that the others were ready. As she was running, she tripped on a root of a tree that was unearthed from the fight with the deathstalker. She ended up rolling into the clearing with the deathstalker slowing down and raising its stinger as it approached. Suddenly, faster then she could see, the deathstalker was launched back. She looked around to see Weiss was hunched over from using most of her aura to send the deathstalker back. Seeing a chance to attack the exposed under belly of the beast, Ruby swapped to her high impact rounds and toke off with speed that broke the sound barrier. She launched her self into the air and fired off 3 shoots to send her even faster up and higher. As she reached the height of her launch, she positioned herself to end this with one strike that would hopefully slay the beast. She then emptied all but 2 shots in the clip to send her going at speeds that made her look like a bullet. As she approached the beast, she swung Crescent Rose back to ready the swing. Right before she swung the blade t cut the beast's underbelly, sh fired off the remaining 2 shots in the clip for maximum effect. The resulting damage for her hit ended up cutting the beast in two from the raw force of the strike and created a crater from where the deathstalker was once standing.
"Are you okay Ruby?" Blake asked as she slowly approached Ruby with caution to not get scratched by the deathstalker's stinger. As she approached she could see that Ruby was covered head to toe in the blood of the deathstalker.
"I am really tired and sore from that strike." Ruby said as she slowly started to go unconscious. As this happened, the group noticed the red blood that was coming from the cut on her arm as her blood turned a silver color from where her blood and the Grimm's blood meet and it slowly seeped into the cut. Blake quickly took of her ribbon as team CRDL was already retreating back to the town so she didn't have to hid her fuanus features from Weiss and Pyrrha and wrapped it around the wound to stop the bleeding and the Grimm blood from getting into her body.
"Don't worry Ruby, we are going to get you back to the others and going to get you some medical attention." Blake said as she picked up Ruby with the help of Weiss and Pyrrha.
"Ruby, can you hear us?" Weiss questioned as she tried to get a response to make sure that she was all right. "If you can hear us, give us some sort of sign." Ruby, who made no sounds or moved during all this, let out a whisper.
"Please stop shouting." Ruby said as she coughed causing her blood to come out of mouth. "I think I punctured one of my lungs." She said while spitting out more blood. "Am I going to make it Weiss? And be honest with me."
"I don't know Ruby, I don't know if you will make it." Weiss said as Ruby started to shake. This time when Ruby coughed and the blood came out, it wasn't red. It was silver, Ruby had just coughed up silver blood. "Oh no." Weiss whispered when she had seen the blood.
"What is it Wei-" Blake stopped as she saw where Weiss was looking at and the freshly coughed blood. "Ruby, this does not look good, but you need to hang on. The bullhead is on its way." Blake tried to convince herself as Ruby started to slip back to sleep.
*Flashback end*
Ruby had something that no one else in the world had have happen to her, she became what they feared and hunted down. She had become half-human and half-grimm. She did something that broke her both emotionally and mentally and this is the story of how Ruby lost her humanity.
Well, There you have it folks. The prologue of something that I hope will turn into something amazing and great. Hope you enjoyed, The next update will hopefully be sometime next week or the week after.
