Ruby's Knights
Idea originally Black Knights by FunohaMisaki in her Random Rwby Ideas and adopted with her permission.
Summery: Ruby's a tactical genius and team JNPR decide that instead of being two teams who may be pitted against each other later on they would rather be one team under Ruby's leadership how will this change things in the future for the 8 beacon students
This is my first fanfic so any advice is appreciated to help me out.
"This is getting ridicules Pyrrha how's your aim with that javelin?" Ruby asked as she glared at the two grimm attacking the group of 8.
"Give me a target and I'll hit it" Pyrrha replied giving her weapon a quick twirl changing it from its short sword form to its javelin.
"Nice answer Yang count to 10 then fire a round over my right shoulder at the Deathstalker. Pyrrha aim 90 degrees up and 45 west count to 5 and throw on 5. Juane, Weiss grab a relic doesn't matter which one" Ruby spoke calmly and with such confidence that the others instantly moved to follow her instructions. Juane ran and grabbed the White Rook piece while Weiss grabbed the Black Bing piece.
Pyrrha following Ruby's instructions aimed counted to five and throw her eyes widened as the Nevermore flew into the path of her javelin which hit it in the eye killing it instantly. She barely had a chance to think on it as she heard a whistling sound that caused her to swing around in time to see a shot from yang fly over Ruby's right shoulder and hit the Deathstalker's tail. Causing it to brake off and slam into its eye killing it as well.
"And people wonder why you're the reigning chess champion in patch sis. You're a tactical genius who can practically predict your enemies moves and counter them flawlessly before they make them." Yang said looking at what her little sister's orders did to the two now disintegrating grimm. Ruby sighed as she reached into one of her hidden pockets and pulled out a cigarette she lit it and calmly turned to the other first years.
"Well we got what we came for let's head back to the cliffs before any more grimm show up." Ruby said as she puffed out a perfect ring of smoke.
"You know that smoking is bad for your health right?" Blake asked holding her nose at the smell of the smoke.
"Yes that's true for most people but my semblance keeps it from negatively affecting my body" Ruby replied as they started walking to the cliffs.
"What do you mean?" Pyrrha asked curiously as they made their way to the cliffs.
"My semblance is speed, it metabolizes liquors like there water and disperses negative effects of cigarettes before they can begin to affect me." Ruby replied Smiling around her cigarette as she lead them across the bridges and to the cliff face.
"Hmmm… I don't think some of us can get up as easily as others can. Yang blast a stair case for you and the others I'll meet you up there" Ruby said as she looked up at the cliff.
"Alright one staircase to Beacon coming right up" Yang replied smirking knowing how Ruby was planning to get up the cliffs.
"Wait how are you getting up Ruby?" Juane asked confused.
"stepback and watch" Ruby said
The others moved back a bit as she put out her cigarette with her heel. Got to a running position and shot strait towards the cliff gaining speed and then up the cliff leaving a trail of rose petals when she reached the top of the cliff and flipped on to the top. The others minus Yang were shocked at what Ruby just did.
"Well are you guys coming or what?" They heard Ruby yell down from the top of the cliff Yang smiled and started blasting stairs for them to climb up. When they reached the top they saw Ruby waiting for them.
"Well that was my morning workout done. Let's go find Ozpin and professor Goodwitch." Ruby said with a smile.
"How did you do that" Weiss asked shocked sure she could probably do the same with her glyphs but not with just pure speed.
"I told you My semblance is speed I wasn't even going at full speed." Ruby replied as they started heading back to Ozpin and Glenda who were gaping as well.
"So what pieces did you eight retrieve?" asked Ozpin quickly recovering from his shock.
"Um... Pyrrha and I got the White Rook piece." Juane replied hold out their piece.
"Same with Nora and I." Ren said showing his piece.
"Me and Blake got the cute little pony." Said Yang Grinning hold up her piece.
"Yang I've told you before the 'cute little pony' is called the Knight piece" Ruby said Yang pouted she liked to call it a pony if only to annoy her sister.
"I see and what about you Ruby what Piece did you get." he asked with interests.
"don't ask me Weiss was the one who picked it." Ruby replied pointing to Weiss who held up the Black King piece.
"ah the black King piece not many people would of chose that one." Ozpin said seeing the knight piece in Weiss's hand.
"Why not isn't the kings the strongest piece right?" Weiss asked confused.
"You must not know or play chess to often to say that. The kings the weakest piece were the Queen is the strongest piece though I do approve your chose in chess pieces." Ruby told the heiress.
"Of course you do sis you play black and always start with your king." Yang said smiling at her sister.
"And you know why to." Ruby said.
"Yes it's because of that motto you say anytime someone asks you why" Yang replied.
"And what motto would that be?" Ozpin asked.
Yang and Ruby smiled at each other before Ruby said the sentence that would become known as her motto from then on.
"If the King doesn't move his subjects won't follow"
Later that day after the 8 first years became teams JNPR and RWBY we find JNPR in their room talking about the events that happened earlier that day.
"So Ruby's smart right? I mean she came up with that plan that took out those two grimm." Juane asked the other members of his team.
"Well Yang did say she's a tactical genius." Ren said.
"Yeah and she was able to tell that my weapon had a javelin form without seeing it before." Pyrrha said.
"plus she's fun to be around." Nora said bouncing on her bed.
"Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?" Juane asked smiling
"Ask Ozpin to combine our team with team Rwby?" Ren said caching on.
"Under Ruby's over all command?" Pyrrha continued.
"So were all in agreement about this" Juane asked to confirm.
"I don't see any problem." Pyrrha said.
"it's a wise decision." Ren added.
"I got no problem with it." Was Nora's reply.
"we should talk to Ruby first to see if she agrees." Juane said.
"Well you know Ruby better than us and are our leader so I think you should ask for us" Pyrrha said.
"um… ok" Juane said before heading to team RWBY's room across the hall and knocked on their door.
"Yes" Ruby said opening the door.
"um… me and the others were talking and we were wondering how you would feel about combining our teams into one under your overall leadership?" Juane asked a little nervous.
"Ok but are you all sure about doing this?" Ruby asked smiling
"Yes we came to the decision together after all." Juane replied
"alright I'll get my team and we will talk to Ozpin"
10 minutes later both teams were in Ozpin's office explaining the situation to him
"So you 4 want to combine with team RWBY under Ruby's leadership is that right?" Ozpin said
"that's right we figure she's an expert stagiest and we would rather be on her side then against her later on." Juane said speaking for his team who nodded in agreement.
"very well what you've requested is uncommon but not unheard of I'll assign a new dorm room for the eight of you tomorrow and you will need a new team name." Ozpin said taking a sip of his coffee (when isn't he with his coffee).
"we thought of that Ruby's the strongest so she's the 'queen' so we will be her knights, her black Knights that is" Juane said giving the name that they agreed on earlier.
"a good name" Ozpin said smiling as he started to fill out the paperwork.
