Hello! I am Freedomewriter! And this is my first Fanfiction! (Well technically it's like my 20th but the first 19 were crap.) It's based on a dream I had, a sorta what if scenario where Salem won and Team RWBY were faced with the end of the world. It's a little sad, so for those who have very weak heart string, you might want to leave, also it contains White Rose and Bumblebee, but other than that I hope you all enjoy!
Update: If you're wandering why I edited this... Well I'm currently writing something very special and I wanted my first actually good story to look presentable!
Peace!
Ruby slammed her fist onto the grass, screaming out in frustration and anger
"DAMN IT!"
She had failed, Team RWBY had failed. Salem had played Ruby into giving her the relics
"Wait! If you give me them, I can reunited you with Summer!"
Those words tore at Ruby's heart every time she thought of them
"WHY?!"
She screamed those words out at the top of her lungs
"WHY AM I SUCH AN IDIOT?!"
She had begun to cry, feeling nothing but hopelessness and despair
"Ruby, it's not your fault." Weiss put a hand on Ruby's should, but she quickly shrugged her off
"Yes it is! If I hadn't been such an idiot then everyone would be okay!" Her voice had died down, the heartbreaking realization had hit her. Qrow, Jaune, Nora, Ren, everyone's sacrifices had been in vain
"You did nothing wrong, Salem just used you!" Blake was also trying to comfort Ruby, but to no avail
"I should have been stronger! I should have just destroyed them!" Ruby's voice has lost any sense of self worth, or happiness
"It's okay sis, everyone makes mistakes... Salem just worked her plan around yours!" Yang had tried to hug her sister, but was quickly pushed away
"MISTAKES?! YOU CALL THIS A MISTAKE?! I FAILED! I FAILED EVERYONE! UNCLE QROW, JAUNE, REN, NORA, OSCAR, OZPIN! THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD IS GOING TO END BECAUSE OF MY 'MISTAKE'!"
She had been screaming at her sister, having snapped to a degree
"Ruby… I'm sorry, I was just trying to-"
Ruby cut off her sister
"TRYING TO WHAT YANG?! HELP?! WELL YOU FAILED!"
She had stood up, looking down at her teammates whom had been sitting next to her
"WE ALL FAILED! WE FAILED OUR FRIENDS! OUR FAMILIES! THE KINGDOMS! WE FAILED EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING!"
Just as she finished her sentence, she had run off, fleeing from her friends and her mother's grave
"RUBY WAIT!"
Weiss cried out for her teammate to come back, but to no avail
"Guys, he have to go after her!" Weiss was about to chase after Ruby, but than she noticed how Blake and Yang were still sitting there "Why aren't you coming?!"
Yang was the first to speak "You can tell she wants to be alone, so let her..." She sounded heartbroken, her little sister, her own family, had told her she was a failure
"Fine! If you wanna stay here, then that's on you! But I'm going after her!" Weiss had bolted off in the direction Ruby went
"Yang..." Blake's voice was quiet, trying not to upset her girlfriend anymore
"Blake... If she wanted us around then she wouldn't have freaked out like that…" She looked over to the sun setting
"Besides, we only have about a half hour left… And I'd like to spend that with someone who cares." Yang had begun to cry as she buried her head into her partner's shoulder.
((Elsewhere))
After about twenty minutes, Weiss had finally found Ruby. She was sitting by a cliff, facing the sunset
"Ruby!" Weiss called out to the rose girl, she turned to face her
"Weiss… Please, just go-"
Weiss had cut her off, still rushing towards her "R-Ruby it's okay! I know things don't look good, b-but there's always a way to move forward." The Schnee was panting, she could barely breath
"Weiss… Your wrong, I failed… There's nothing we can do…" Ruby had put her knees to her chest, seemingly trying to roll into a ball
"T-Then… Then if the world's really going to end…" Weiss felt her heart fluctuate, but she knew, if she didn't say this now. Then when would she?
"Then all I wanna say is..!"
She turned yet again to face Weiss, this time she was ready to snap at the Schnee. But she froze when she saw the tears in her eyes
"Ruby Rose! I love you! I've always had feeling for you…"
She had buried her face in her hands, she knew Ruby couldn't feel the same "But even if you don't feel the same, neither of us will-"
Ruby had gotten up and hugged Weiss tighter then she ever had before "Weiss! Stop, I love you too! I've always loved you! From the very moment I met you!"
Weiss had stopped crying, all she could do was stare into Ruby's eyes…
Her silver eyes
"Ruby…"
The rose girl stared back
"Weiss…"
The two were locked into each other's gaze, they had forgotten about the doomed world around them
"HEY!"
They snapped out of the other's trance
"Guys!"
Yang and Blake had come running up to the two
"Yang…" Ruby was on the verge of tears, her voice was so quiet, Weiss could barely hear it
"Sis!" Yang was barely a foot away from the two "I can see you two made up."
Weiss blushed from the comment "A bit more than that.."
Yang's face lit up, for the first time since Salem had won "Wait!? What?! Really?!"
Weiss and Ruby just nodded, the ladder having tears in her eyes
"That's amazing!"
Blake patted the two on their backs "I'm happy for you two."
The four then exchange hugs, holding onto each other tightly, that is until Yang broke away
"Wait! I still have something to say."
Ruby looked as if she was going to cry "Yang I'm-"
She was cut off by her sister "Don't be, I should have seen how upset you were. But that's not it."
She took a step back
"I know we all started out as Rubys, but I'm so happy with the time we spent with each other. And I know there's been times where we've thought Weiss about each other, but. I'd never Blake back a single second of it, not a single damn one. And I know, the world may be ending and Team RWBY may not be going out with a Yang. But I'm so happy we can at least all be together when it does!"
The group had stated crying, yet they were laughing at the same time
"I-It m-must really be the e-end of the world..!" Weiss was trying to smile, trying to hide her tears
"Why?" Yang looked confused at Weiss's statement
"B-Because those were the first jokes you made that were actually funny!" Weiss had broken down into tears, her laughing having ended
"I guess anything is possible…" Yang pulled her girlfriend into a hug
"I guess the end can bring out some amazing things…" Ruby was forcing a smile, but it was quickly broken as Yang pulled her in too
"You two just don't know the purrfection of my jokes."
Weiss then hugged Ruby and Blake, and looked at Yang "Make that three.."
Yang just rolled her eyes, chuckling slightly "Yeah, yeah… Keep talkin'."
Ruby was about to say something, but then the color drain from her face. They had less than a minute left before the sun set, and everything would be over
"Guys…"
The rest of Team RWBY looked at the setting sun
"Oh…"
Those were the only words out of the three, as almost as soon at they had said them.
Ruby fell to her knees, but instead of helping her up, the rest of Team RWBY got down with her. All four members had still been locked in there final hug
"It's okay Ruby…" Weiss was the first one to speak
"Yeah… There's nothing wrong with this…" Blake was second
"None of us have to live with the thought of not being around the other…" Yang was last…
Ruby's broken smile mended itself slightly
"Y-You're right… Even though there's nowhere else to go, even though we can't move past this…"
The entirety of Team RWBY tighten their embrace
"I'm glad it could end here… With you guys…"
They closed their eyes to prevent themselves from seeing the world that they loved so much…
Disappear...
"It looks like we can't move forward..."
Well... Now I'm putting Izuku to shame with my crying...
If you're wandering, there will be a chapter two. I don't know when I'll finish it, but in the meantime. I'm going to binge RWBY chibi and funny anime moments... See you guys (and gals) Later!
Update: I'm still so proud of this story! I'm glad I could publish this to the RWBY/MHA community! And don't worry, I shall always find a way to get another story out. Though that doesn't mean I don't want you guys (or gals) to write your own, if you wanna make a story using all the ideas I have in mine! You have 1,000,000% of permission! Even if I add OCs (which there's a 99% chance that I won't), you can use 'em! I just wanna pass down a good story for people to be inspired by and enjoy!
Peace!
