LordNeoSeeker at the ready. Yo Peeps, if you recognize the first 2 words to my intro, then you know who I am. I have this new account for reasons that I don't know, but I also exist as GateMasterGreen elsewhere. As to what I'm writing today, I have no idea. Still thinking as I am writing this. Onward to victory!
Disclaimer: No, I don't own RWBY.
A familiar scene played in the dark night, a group of thugs heading towards a dust shop. From Dust Till Dawn lit up the street just a shred brighter than the dim lamps. Led by infamous criminal, Roman Torchwick, they entered the shop.
Near the back, listening to music an reading a magazine, was a familiar girl, though... Not as you may have known her. She lacked a cloak, leaving her clothes unobstructed. She wore a black tank top, a red rose icon printed atop a black background over her heart. Her left arm was covered in armor from shoulder to elbow, while a black bandage like material was wrapped the rest of the way to her wrist. Her right arm was bare, except a metal socket carved into her shoulder, containing a ruby red dust crystal. A black tattoo continued down her arm and onto her hand, looking as her skin had been dipped in darkness and this pattern was all that remained.
She had her weapons strapped on its familiar holster and belt, hanging over the hip of her black cargo pants. She also had on a familiar pair of boots, though the laces were mostly hidden under the baggy pants, but they were the same pair.
Silver eyes glanced over a page before a hand was placed on her shoulder. She turned to see a sharply dressed thug motioning for her to remover her earphones. "Are you robbing me?"
The man nodded, waving his blade in a way that showed a clear lack of skill. "Yes, now put your hands in the air."
Ruby Rose rolled her eyes. "Ahh... Yes, I see." She chuckled. "I hope you know who you're messing with."
"Wha..." The man began, confused, before a firm kick sent him flying through the shop and into the street.
Ruby jumped after him, only to see him fleeing. She grabbed Crescent Rose from her back and changed it into scythe form, digging the blade into the asphalt. She watched as the man in the bowler ordered the thugs to attack. She quickly disposed of them before turning to look at the man.
"Well, kid. It's been an eventful evening." He said, extinguishing his cigar with the end if his cane. "But I really must get going." He lifted his cane, a sight popping up and a round whistling towards Ruby.
The teen flipped her scythe and fired, using the recoil to launch up and over the shot. When she landed, she didn't see him. Turning her head, she noticed him climbing the ladder of a fire escape. She dashed after him as he crawled onto the roof. She followed after, using her scythe to skip the climb altogether.
Just as she was about to attack, a large aircraft rose up, the gust of wind knocking her back a bit. Roman climbed into the craft and cackled. "End of the line, Red!" He threw the burn crystal he had from the shop and fired at it when it got close to her.
She didn't have time to react. This was it. Closing her eyes, she awaited death. She heard the explosion, but felt... Nothing? Opening her eyes, she saw an older woman projecting a shield. The same woman proceeded to try and ground the aircraft, only for the criminal to escape.

That had been earlier this week. Now, Ruby stood on an aircraft headed towards Beacon Academy. She had been accepted two years early and was rather intrigued with how this would go. Beside her stood Yang Xiao Long, a brawling blonde with a explosive punch to be feared by bartenders the world over. Add to that that the two were sisters.
They had already discussed a few details about Beacon and Professor Goodwitch had already spoken via hologram to the students. Soon after, the plane had landed and the students exited, a certain blonde making his way to a trash can.
Ruby and Yang walked together for a short while before the brawler left in a rush with her friends, the backlash causing the younger teen to lose her balance and collapse onto a trolly loaded with suitcases.
"Watch were you're going, you dolt." A voice scolded. Ruby looked up to see a woman that could be described in one word: White. She wore a white combat skirt with a rapier strapped to her waist. Her hair was pulled back in an off center ponytail and a scar was the only mar on her otherwise flawless face.
Ruby stood up and frowned. "Sorry, but my sister was so kind as to knock me down in her rush to abandon me."
The white-haired girl sniffed and crossed her arms. "That's no excuse."
Silver eyes rolled in annoyance. "It wasn't my fault, Princess."
"It's heiress, actually." Both turned to see a girl garbed in form fitting clothes, colored black and white. "Weiss Schnee, Heiress of Schnee Dust Company."
Ruby shrugged. "I knew that. I was calling her Princess because the attitude. What's your name?"
"Blake." The girl said. "Blake Belladonna."
"Nice to meet you." Ruby replied. Pulling out her scroll, she checked the time before looking at the two girls. "I'll see you two later. Bye."

After having met the barfing blonde from before, a mister Jaune Arc, she led the clumsy swordsman to the assembly, students clumped in like a ball pit. After a wave from her sister, she bid the blonde farewell and walked over to the brawler. "Hey, Yang."
Yang chuckled. "Small, white, and snooty there," she pointed at Weiss. "Has been complainin' 'bout some girl knocking over her stuff. The girl she described sounded like-"
"You!" Weiss shrieked.
"It really was you." Yang deadpanned. "Why am I not surprised?"
The heiress pointed at Ruby accusingly. "You wrecked my luggage, you dolt!"(1)
Ruby twitched before glaring at Weiss. "I am neither a dolt not was it my intention to knock your luggage upon the ground. As I explained, my sister caused me to lose my balance and fall." She pointed at Yang. "Blame her, if you really need to."
The icy glare shifted to Yang who shrugged. "I blame chance. I didn't see any luggage."
Before Weiss could respond, Ozpin began his speech.
End...
1) "You done wrecked mah shit, you fool!"
A quick intro and you can already see some changes. I made Ruby more serious, but that doesn't mean she can't be silly. If you're wondering about the crystal in her arm, I will explain later. It has to do with the story. I'm calling this Infusion, which I hopefully won't have to change. Also, I was hoping to hear what you would like as to the pairing. Any other female character on the show, if you'd be so kind. Send your votes by review or PM, so I know who you want her to be with. Adieu for now.
