(Narrator Pov)
It was a cool summer day and on a lonely road was a young woman wearing a green cloak. What she did not know was that the fate of the world would hang on this very moment in time.
(Cinder PoV)
'The plan was set Emerald and Mercury were in position and the stupid Fall Maiden was about to spring my trap. This was to be the start of something wonderful, I would get all the power I could dream of and Salem got to kill Ozpin. Though I never could figure out just why she hates him so much, I know he doesn't stay dead and he loves interfering with Salem's plans. But is that reason enough to have Salem actively go out of her way to spite him. As Watts, that smug bastard, would say that is above your paygrade. Ohhh how much I want to go all Tyrian on him, but for all his faults he has his uses. I wish Hazel was here, he always made such good company, plus the benefits of having the extra muscle wouldn't hurt. The Maiden's coming, this is going to be easy, like taking candy from a baby'

Amber was walking down the path when she saw a small girl crying in the middle of the road she bent down and offered an apple to the child. As she was about to give the apple the trees around her burst open revealing four figures. The first was a woman dressed in an orange and red dress with black hair and golden eyes wielding to long knives, the next was a man wearing a simple combat outfit with messy gray hair and matching eyes seemingly unarmed, the third was a petite girl with green hair and striking red eyes with what looked like revolvers sickles and the three of them were fighting the last figure. The last person was clearly female judging from the size of her bust, she was wearing what looked like a standard Atlesian specialist coat dyed crimson with the right sleeve torn off, some sort of armour underneath it, from the back this was all Amber could except for the long red hooded cloak she was wearing. In her hands were a pair of black and red hand scythes with a silver trim and rose decals*.
As soon as all the combatant landed the cloaked lady shot forward with incredible speed taking out the green haired eyes before knocking her out.
Her male companion yelled out "Emerald!" before turning to the cloaked figure slashing at his legs. He was a bit too slow as her blades tore through his legs and nicked the bone.
The woman holding the knives pretty much screamed "Mercury, grab Emerald and run while I hold her off.".
The Man now identified as Mercury asked with a hint of fear in his voice "what about you?"
The woman commanded "Go! I'll be fine."
Mercury put Emerald on his back and ran as fast as his injured legs could carry him, while the cloaked woman stared down his employer.
the cloaked woman rasped out "Cinder Fall, you have failed here today, you will fail tomorrow, you will fail as long as I still breath. Your Mistress Salem will not be pleased." The last words were dripping with mirth and shocked the woman known as Cinder to her core.
Cinder lashed out in rage and fear at her opponent's face. Her foe took the blow in stride reavealing that she had been wearing a mask before quickly swinging her blade and taking of Cinder's left arm just below the elbow. Cinder took out several Dust crystals and activated them, before dropping them and retreating. The cloaked figure turned and threw Amber, who had been forgotten and in shock, away from the blast.
BOOOM!
The ground trembled at the explosion and as the dust cleared Amber was on her back groaning in pain while the cloaked woman slowly with her weapons drawn. Amber got a much better look at her outfit, she was wearing a black and red corset under her coat a pair of standard Atlesian special ops pants with several belts adorned with copious amounts of ammunition, a pair of black combat boots and a black and red top under her corset.
As she approached suddenly a new figure appeared between the two of them. He was dressed in black sacks with matching shoes a grey dress shirt and a tattered red cape holding a broadsword in front of him. The cloaked figure collapsed her weapons and put them away before pulling back her hood revealing black hair with red highlights and a single piercing silver eye.
A few minutes earlier
(Qrow PoV)
'Shit. Shit. Shit. SHIT! I lost track of the time drinking and Amber now has no one watching her. I hope she's fine"
BOOOM!
'That was bad. That was really bad. Wait there's Amber and who the fuck is that. They've got their weapons drawn. SHIT! This is bad. I gotta do my damn job'
'okay, she put her weapons away and what the fuck! How does she have silver eyes? I thought only Summer and Rubes had silver eyes, and is that Raven's mask'
the cloaked female proceeds to take of her mask before calmly saying "Qrow, we have a lot to talk about."
A few hours later
Headmaster's office, Beacon
(general Pov)
Ozpin was calmly sitting at his desk looking through the next years of students to attend Beacon when Glynda Goodwitch comes into the room looking mildly panicked.
Ozpin asked quite calmly "Glynda, what is the problem?"
Glynda replies "There was an incident with amber's protection and she was attacked."
Ozpin looks a lot more attentive and prods "What happened?"
Glynda says "Qrow missed the fight but, managed to figure out the names of her assailant, a Mercury, Emerald and one Cinder Fall. Amber was completely fine because of a third-party interfering, Qrow said that she knew who Cinder was as well who Amber is and what Qrow was doing there. Qrow is on his way here with Amber and her mysterious savior."
Just then Qrow bursts into the room before flopping down on one of the couches before downing the contents of his flask, Amber slowly walks in looking afraid of what Ozpin might do.
It's the third person who is most interesting as soon a she walks into the room she looks over everything before saying in an eerily familiar voice "Ah, the Headmaster's office, I'd forgotten just how stylish Oz was. It's in much better condition than I remember, but then again, the last time I was in this room the school was overrun by a Drake and a horde of lesser Grimm. Ah good times."
Ozpin asked slowly "Who are you? Why did you save Amber? And what was that about Grimm overrunning my school?"
The mystery laughs "Ah yes I should probably introduce myself. Well then I am General Ruby Rose of the Atlesian military, Age 24."
