This is my first attempt at making an RWBY story, so I hope you guys enjoy this. I had some help from NeoNazo356 who has a great RWBY story out himself: "Giant Slayer." So please enjoy this story.

In the snowy forests on the island of Patch it can be seen that there was two small girls, sisters even, traveling threw it to reach an unknown destination. One of the little girls was a small one wearing a red hood with white and black clothing; she was currently in a small red wagon taking a nap. The other girl was a slightly taller girl with blonde hair in pigtails. She wore a beige shirt and a pair of light brown shorts, and an orange scarf was around her neck to keep her warm. She had some small cuts and bruises on her body indicating that she had been walking for hours, pulling the wagon her sister was in.

'Mom, I know you're here. I just want to know why you left me, left us.' The blonde girl thinking to herself as she finally reached her destination, an old abandoned house that looked as though it was falling apart.

What caught her off guard however was that no sound was coming from the house. It looked like there was some foot prints in the snow going in and out of the house repeatedly. The blonde girl thought that they belonged to her mother, but on closer inspection, they were too small to be a full grown woman's foot print. They looked like more of a child's foot print. The blonde grew curious as to why they were even here.

Suddenly out of nowhere, coming out of the house, three big creatures that looked like wolves with pitch black fur and white spiky armor came out of the house and looked at the two girls in hunger. The blonde was too tired to even do anything and the red hooded girl was still asleep in the wagon. It seemed like that they would perish here until…

Just as one of the wolf monsters jumped towards them, a small black and reddish-orange blur came out of the woods and hit the creature in the side of the gut, causing the creature to go flying. All the living things in the immediate area turned to see what the blur was when what they saw caught them off guard. It was a small boy about a year younger than the blonde girl, he had black hair with streaks of blonde hairs mixed in, he had green eyes, a tattered black shirt and blue pants, and he also appeared to have no shoes on. However what caught the girl's attention was that his hands and feet were mostly black with hints of a reddish-orange spots in it, that and he also had a tail that went to his knees with the same spots.

"Alright you stupid fur balls, get away from my home." The boy said as he charged at the one he tackled in what appeared to be in a growing ball of fire. When contact was made, he then proceeded with a series of punches and slashes in its gut. The beast tried to slash at the boy but he dodged the slash and bit right into the beasts arm, causing the creature pain.

While this fight was going on the other two creatures noticed that the two girls were left unprotected and decided to go after them. However, just as they were about to land the blow, an unknown man came sprinting out of the woods and killed both beasts with a huge scythe. When the man with the scythe was about to kill the last one he saw that the young boy kill it by shooting a fireball from his mouth into an open wound on the beast, frying it from the inside out.

"Well young one, thank you for saving my niece's lives just now." The scythe man said to him after he hugged his nieces, making sure they were okay.

"No problem. But, who are you people?" the young man asked.

"Well my name is Qrow and these are my nieces Yang Xiao Long and Ruby Rose." The now named Qrow said introducing himself and the girls as Ruby woke up after being hugged by her uncle.

"Hello." The young boy said as he waved to them.

"What were you doing living in this house here? Where are your parents?" Qrow asked him.

"I-I don't have any parents, they died when some bad men tried to hurt us. I have been living here since the warm season." The boy told him looking down in sadness. Qrow was surprised to hear that this young boy has been living in this abandoned house ever since it was summer, and it was towards the middle of winter.

"Why are your hands and feet like that? *Gasp* Do you have frostbite? Also, what's that thing coming out of your butt?" Ruby asked as she just noticed the kid's hands and feet were black and reddish-orange, that and he had a tail.

When Qrow heard his youngest niece ask those questions he couldn't help but chuckle at it. He chuckled more when he saw the boy's confused look. "Ruby this young boy doesn't have frostbite on his hands and feet, he's what is known as a Faunus. And that thing coming from his back is his tail. Although, I have never seen a Faunus with arms, legs and a tail like that on the same person." Qrow explained. In his career as a huntsman, whenever he met a Faunus he only saw that they had only one animal trait on them. He has seen a few with some antlers, animal ears, and tails. This young boy was unlike any he has seen before.

"What's a Faunus?" Yang and the boy asked. Qrow was surprised to hear this young Faunus didn't know what a Faunus was.

"Well Faunus' are people who have physical animal traits on them. Judging from this young man here, I would like to venture a guess and say that you are a 'Fire Salamander' Faunus." Qrow said to the children as he said the last part to the young boy in front of him.

"Cool." The young boy said.

"You know, if you want you can come live with us. I know that this is sudden but I won't feel right if I leave you to live by yourself." Qrow said as he looked to the young boy.

"I-I can live with you guys?" the young Faunus asked Qrow. This young boy has never met someone like these three before. They were nice people who actually wanted to help him out. Some people he had met before, when his parents were still alive and after their death, treated him like he was some kind of freak and a monster.

"Well yeah. We cannot let a nice young man, who helped save my nieces from those Grimm." Qrow told him. He got a response in the form of the young boy jumping into his chest hugging him with a surprisingly good strength for a young man his age.

"I am soooo happy now." The young boy said as he had never felt happier in his life after the death of his parents. The young boy went over to the girls and hugged the both of them at the same time; his tail was wagging for a bit. Yang and Ruby were both blushing at this boy just hugging them after defeating a Beowolf. "We're going to be best friends forever."

"Um, what's your name?" Ruby asked him as she had no clue.

"Ryuma Kasai." The young Faunus, now named Ryuma, told the little girl.

'Somehow, I feel that things are going to get interesting,' Qrow thought as he looked at the children and just felt that things may turn towards a unique direction.

The next decade turned out to be one wild ride of sorts for them. When Ryuma first arrived to Yang and Ruby's home, he was first introduced to a man who held the girls and was crying tears of happiness. It did not last long as Yang got grounded for a week. The man, who Qrow revealed to Ryuma as being the father of the girls, turned to the two of them and they explained everything that happened to him. After finding out what had transpired, and how Ryuma saved them from one of the Beowolves, he agreed into letting him stay.

During his time at their home, he had tried to get used to living with people again. He had lived in the woods for months after his parents were killed and had to practically raise himself. Not only that, but with his tail, he caused some stuff to get broken by accident. So many lamps were lost that first week before they helped him get control of his tail.

One day, after Taiyang found some Dust in the forest, he decided it was time to tell the kids about Dust. As he went on to tell them about what Dust was and what it could do, he found out that Ryuma had called them "tasty rocks." When asked about this, Ryuma explained how he got hungry one day and found a red Dust crystal and sucked on it for food. It turns out that Ryuma had unlocked his semblance by complete accident.

Taiyang told Qrow about this and decided to test this out. They went into the yard and gave Ryuma a yellow dust crystal to suck on. After sucking on the crystal for a few seconds, the colored spots on his body changed from a reddish-orange to yellow.

Ryuma was about to ask what happened until he suddenly sneezed and a bolt of lightning shot out of his mouth and almost hit Taiyang and Qrow. The scarecrow behind them was not so lucky.

The girls thought that was the coolest thing they ever saw. Ryuma however, was worried about what just happened. Taiyang went on to explain how Ryuma's worked from just that demonstration. He had a rare semblance called "Nature's Wrath." What that meant was whenever Ryuma would suck or bite into a dust crystal; he would gain the elemental properties of said crystal until it was all gone. After that he would be without elemental powers for about thirty seconds to a minute, longer if he bit more than just one dust crystal.

Ruby and had some of her best memories with him. Ruby did try to "heal" his frostbite in the beginning, only for her father Taiyang, to explain to her in more detail that he did NOT have frostbite but that it was his skin. Ruby thought that was kind of cool and at times she would cuddle up with him when they were all tired out. Taiyang, Qrow, and Yang all thought that it was the cutest thing to see her cuddling with him like he was her stuffed teddy bear.

Ruby and Yang also found out about Faunus having night vision at the worst possible time. They tried to pull a prank on Ryuma for April fool's Day using pie tins filled with whipped cream. When they snuck into Ryuma's dark room, they sneaked right up to him and were about to get him in his sleep. That is until Ryuma shined a flash light in their eyes and hit the both of them with a can of silly string and their own whipped cream pies. They all had to clean up the mess they made.

Yang had some good time with him as well. It was around the time that she would start school did she learn more than just what they taught in class. During recess, some of the older kids began to pick on her for wearing pigtails and for having a Faunus live with them. One of the kids went so far as to put gum in her hair. Yang had blacked out for about five minutes and when she came to, she stood over the older kids who were riddled with bruises.

After a trip to the principal's office and a call to their parents, Yang was cleared of any wrongs as the principal saw the gum in her hair and knew the older kids had a history of picking on some of the younger kids. When they got home, Ryuma hugged Yang after hearing what happened from her father. He even offered to help in getting the gum out of her hair. Ryuma was able to help Yang get some of the gum out of her hair for the most part, but Taiyang had to help out with the rest of it. She would not wear her hair in pigtails as some of the hair had to be cut out to remove the gum. Instead she would wear it out long after she heard Ryuma say that she looked cute with hair let out like that. She couldn't help but blush at hearing that.

Yang had found out some things from that day, Ryuma would be one of the few people to be allowed to touch her hair. Also that she began to think he was kind of cute as well, and that she had a short fuse when someone messed with her hair.

Ryuma never knew about the trouble facing Faunus out there in the world. When he lived with them, they treated him like a normal person should. But it did not happen until it was his time to go to school as well. When he first arrived he found himself alienated almost immediately by some of the other kids and some teachers. He would be picked on from time to time, picked last for sports or just ignored during recess. When he got home after that day, he asked the others why some of the people were being mean to him.

Qrow explained everything to him. He explained how many Faunus were discriminated for being different looking from humans and that battles were fought just for the same rights humans have. Ryuma couldn't believe this as he never thought of anyone different like that. He made a promise that day to show them that he was just like any other human. Ruby and Yang also agreed to help out and try to make some people see him as anyone else would. It isn't about outward appearances that made a person; it's about what kind of person they are on the inside.

It wasn't until years later, when he arrived at Signal academy, that some people had seen him for being the kind and helpful person that he truly was. He had helped out some people who were lost in the halls and stood up for some of the others who were being bullied as well. When it came to weapons class, he decided to create his own weapon.

At first his attempts were okay at best. But with help from Yang, his weapon of choice was complete; it was an orange and red sword that would then turn into a fully functional gun. He would then name his weapon, Flamberge. Yang couldn't be any happier or him and hugged him for a job well done. Ryuma was blushing from the hug, mostly due to Yang holding his head in her cleavage.

Over the years Ryuma couldn't help but see how much woman like Yang and Ruby had become. Of course it didn't really help him out when Yang started to go through puberty that Qrow felt that it was time for the 'talk'. Unfortunately this did not play out well. For one, he gave the talk to all three kids at the SAME TIME. The kids couldn't look each other in the eyes without picturing what Qrow told them for a week.

Taiyang was not so happy with that and chased Qrow with one of his weapons.

One year later, Ryuma and Yang had to help out Ruby when she felt down during her first years at Signal Academy, a Huntsman Academy on Patch. When she came to the school, she was so nervous and wanted to be the best she could be. However, after deciding to take up a gun/scythe combo for a weapon from Qrow, who was a teacher, some of the kids that picked on Yang years ago decided to pick a new target in Ruby.

She was ridiculed for acting all innocent and naïve at moments. Some of them went so far as to "accidentally" push her into a trash bin that she was walking by. She was laughed at so much that it wasn't until the end of the day, when she went back home, she started to cry and ran into her room to let her tears fall out.

Ryuma felt sad by that and wanted to try and make her feel better, but nothing was really working. He and Yang did get back at the bullies for making Ruby cry. Those kids would never mess with anyone ever again after what they did to them. Ryuma wanted to make Ruby smile again but nothing really worked out. Not even a fresh batch of cookies helped out. It wasn't until he saw an ad in the papers that he had a perfect plan to get Ruby to smile once more.

So with the help of Taiyang, they went out and got the perfect gift for cheering up Ruby. When they got home they called Ruby to come downstairs, when she did she saw immediately what they got to cheer her up. Taiyang and Ryuma got her the cutest little black and white corgi puppy she had ever seen. She used her speed semblance to hug the little guy and be licked by him a lot. They were happy to see her smile once again.

Of course, Ryuma did not like the time when Zwei was teething as he used Ryuma's tail as a chew toy whenever he could.

*Present Day*

The city of Vale was an impressive city that was unlike most people has seen before in any other country. It was a coastal city where the island of Patch was off its shore by a few hundred miles. The city looked like a normal metropolitan city where it was separated into several districts like where the upper class people and residential areas were placed. It was also famous for not only being the Capital city of the Kingdom of the same name, but was also home to one of the most prestigious Huntsman Training Schools known to human and Faunus alike, Beacon Academy.

A young girl with black hair and red tips around the edges and silver eyes was walking down one of the streets of the city of Vale. The girl wore a black and red Gothic Lolita outfit, which emphasized her C-cup chest, with red around the edges of the sleeves and "combat skirt". She also had a red hooded cloak, which went right to where her knees were, attached to her shirt with two silver cross pendants to hold it in place and a pair of red and black shin high boots. She wore a black belt that fit loosely around her waist that held a number of sniper bullets on her left side, a container of some sort and a silver burning rose symbol on her right side. She was also carrying a weapon of some sort on her back as well, hidden under the cloak. This was Ruby Rose.

There was even a black haired Faunus with blonde streaks boy who was walking along side her down the road, who was taller than Ruby by a head. He wore an orange shirt and wore a black sleeveless karate gi over it with rough edges around the arm holes. He had a pair of blue jeans and a pair of matching black and orange sandals on with two brown belts that crossed over each other in the front, one of the belts held an orange and black gun. This was Ryuma Kasai, much older and taller than Ruby by a head. His fire salamander scales were still visible by his feet, and forearms. The pants were specially tailored to have his tail, which stopped at his feet, poke through. He had his symbol on the back of his gi, it was an orange grinning salamander.

As they reached an area in the industrial district, Ryuma began to ask Ruby, "Are you sure we're in the right place? Because that guy, whom we got directions from, wasn't all that helpful."

"Yes I am sure Ryuma." Ruby told Ryuma. "Look there's her bike anyway." She said as she pointed to Yang's black and orange motorcycle, named Bumblebee.

"So which one of these buildings is the Vault of Glass club, she is in?" Ryuma asked before, a man was sent flying out of the windows of said bar as all of the other windows were shattered as well. The man looked to be knocked around quite a bit; he wore a classy white shirt with black pants and a matching black vest. He had a clean cut of hair as well as a beard to match. This was Hei Xiong, the owner of the Vault of Glass, also known to some people in the area as Junior.

"I'm gonna guess this one." Ruby told Ryuma.

After Junior landed on his back, another person jumped out of the windows after him. This one was female. She was a blonde long-haired girl with red eyes, which then changed to a more lavender shade, and a revealing outfit. She wore a brown short sleeved jacket with a yellow low-cut crop top, over her D-cup chest, with a black burning heart symbol on her left breast. She wore an orange scarf around her neck, black fingerless gloves, and yellow gauntlets on both wrists that changed back into bracelets. She also wore a brown belt that had a pleated skirt in the back area with a white partial skirt just ending slightly below it and a pocket on the left side, black short shorts, a pair of brown boots that reached the middle of her shin as well and orange socks. One of the socks was pushed down below her right knee and the other one was over her left knee.

"Yang," Ruby asked her sister. "Is that you?"

Once Yang saw Ruby and Ryuma she smiled at them, "Oh, hey Ruby, hey Ryuma. I wasn't expecting to see you guys here tonight."

"What happened here?" Ruby asked her sister.

"And what the hell did you do to this guy?" Ryuma asked his friend as he pointed at Junior.

"It's a long story. Let me tell you about it over something to drink. I never got my drink." Yang told Ruby and Ryuma as they went to a different area to get something to drink, and to avoid being questioned by Vale PD.

After they left the area, they went over to a nice little coffee shop that was okay with Faunus. Once they got their drinks they sat down in a booth and talked with Yang about what happened. "So let me get this straight," Ryuma began to talk, "You went to the club to get some answers, start a brawl, destroyed everything made of glass in there, and brutally beat up the owner."

"Yeah pretty much got it right." Yang said as she enjoyed her iced tea.

"Why did you brutally beat him up again?" Ruby asked as she drank her coffee with cream and five sugars.

"Well, after beating up some of his guys, he came at me with a weapon. One thing led to another, and he had some of my hair in his hands…" Yang explained to the two of them.

"Now that makes much more sense." Ryuma said as he drank his hot chocolate. "I am going to assume that you did not get the answers you were looking for huh?"

"Yeah I did not." Yang said.

"Hey it's getting pretty late I need to go to the local store to get some more dust. My resources are starting to get low." Ryuma told the girls as he was about to go off to pay for the drinks.

"Well maybe if you didn't eat your reserves, you wouldn't be low so much." Ruby told her friend.

"You couldn't let that slide could you?" Ryuma asked Ruby, as she gave him a giggle from his question.

"Hey do you mind if I tag along? I want to check out the latest issue of 'Huntsman Monthly' and see if I can get any tips from it." Ruby asked him as she did not want to go out alone.

"Sure why not." Ryuma said to her as she hugged him. It was a peaceful hug until Yang interrupted.

"Aw that is so sweet. Well I have to finish up packing before going off to Beacon Academy tomorrow." Yang got up as she started to leave; she turned to Ryuma and told him, "Don't forget to use a condom when you're doing it with my little sister Ryuma." That got Ryuma and Ruby blushing and jump back from each other, glaring at Yang for the comment she made.

"I so hate it when Yang does that." Ruby said as this was a common thing that Yang would do from time to time.

"Me too," Ryuma agreed with Ruby. "I also did not find it funny when she sent me that shower selfie of you and herself." Yang sent that to him last month when the three of them were watching one of Vale's funniest shows, 'Blue vs. Red.' He had a massive nose bleed from seeing the picture Yang sent him on his phone. Ruby was blushing as well, it was an awkward moment trying to explain that to their father.

After the moment passed the two of them went off to the nearest Dust Store that was still open late at night, "From Dust Till Dawn." Ryuma went over to one of the walls to look at what was available for dust vials as Ruby went to the magazine rack to read one of them while Ryuma was shopping and listened to some of her music as well.

While Ryuma was finished looking at the wall of dust, he went over to the counter to see the dust crystals available when he heard someone come in. He turned to see a bunch of men in black business suits with red ties, black fedoras and sunglasses to hide their identities. One man stood out the most; he wore a bowler hat, a white suit top and black dress pants, a cane in one hand, and orange hair that went over his right eye.

"Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Dust shop open this late?" the man in charge asked the owner behind the counter.

"I-I don't want any trouble, just take my Lien and leave!" The shopkeeper said to him. Ryuma did not like this one bit he tried to go for his Flamberge but one of the henchmen saw this as pointed a gun at him to prevent it from happening.

"Now now, we have no need for your money." The head guy said as he turned to one of the henchmen and ordered them, "Grab all the dust this place has. And as for you my dear Faunus," he said as he turned to Ryuma and grabbed his weapon from his belt, "There's no need for you to try and play hero. Do anything stupid, and it will be the last thing you do."

Ryuma just stayed there afraid of what my happen to him if he did try to be a hero. But he was more worried about Ruby, she was reading a magazine by herself listening to music, she had no idea of what was happening at this moment.

One of the henchmen found Ruby and approached her. "Alright kid, put your hands where I can see 'em." He got no response from Ruby. He forcibly turned her around by her shoulder to face him. Ruby was confused by what was happening as the henchman pointed to his ears to tell her to take off her headphones.

"Yes?" Ruby asked the strange man.

"Put your hands in the air right now." The henchman ordered her again.

"Are you, robbing me?" Ruby asked again.

"Yes!"

"Oh."

As Ryuma was still being held at gun point by another henchman and the main guy in charge was holding a red Dust crystal in his hands, one of the other henchmen went flying towards the front of the store and distracted everyone at the front. Ryuma used this opportunity to use his tail to get his weapon back without anyone noticing.

"Roman, what the hell was that?" One of the henchmen asked their boss, who is revealed his name to be Roman.

"Go find out." Roman ordered his henchman as he went to investigate. About five seconds later, that same henchman went flying out the window with a red and black blur tackling him. The others looked out the window to see Ruby holding her scythe weapon pointing right at them all. Not only that but they also saw that Ryuma was standing right beside her as well.

"What, how the hell is that Faunus boy standing right there?" Roman asked as he turned to where Ryuma was standing before only to see the henchman who was holding Ryuma at gun point on the floor holding his bleeding foot in pain. Turns out Ryuma changed his weapon to blade mode and stabbed him in the foot.

"Well, what the hell are you waiting for a written invitation? Get them already!" Roman ordered his men who were just standing there. The henchmen went after Ruby and Ryuma.

"Okay Ruby, you take the ones on the left. I'll take the ones on the right." Ryuma told her as he charged at the ones on the right as Ruby went left.

The ones on the left were being beaten up by Ruby who was using a combination of gymnastic moves to kick them really hard and the dull end of her scythe to hit them really hard to make sure they will still live after this. Ryuma ran towards his targets and switched his Flamberge into gun mode and shot some of them with concussion rounds to knock them down hard and a series of strong kicks and quick jabs to the mid-section and heads of his enemies.

After all of the henchmen fell down in defeat, Roman walked out of the store and looked at them. "Pathetic. You were worth every cent. Truly, you were." He then turned to Ryuma and Ruby. "Well now kiddies as much as I would just love to stay and chat," he raised his cane to point at them. The bottom of the cane opened up revealing that his cane was a weapon. "But, I'm afraid this is where we part." He pulled the trigger and an explosion was caused just in front of Ruby and Ryuma.

As the dust cleared, Ruby and Ryuma saw that Roman had vanished. He used the explosion as a diversion to make his escape. "Oh man, where'd he go?" Ryuma asked looking to find where Roman went off to.

Ruby looked around too and saw him climbing up the ladder on the side of a building, heading to the roof. "There he is," Ruby yelled as Ryuma saw where she was looking as immediately went after him. "Are you gonna be okay if we go after him?" Ruby asked the store clerk. He was okay with this as he could hear the sirens in the distance coming closer.

As Roman made his way to the top, Ryuma reached the top as well as Ruby made it to the top after using her weapon, Crescent Rose, to get to the roof real quick.

"Hey ugly," Ryuma shouted as that got Roman to stop running. He turned to see Ruby and Ryuma with their weapons out ready to apprehend him.

"You two are the most persistent kids I have had the displeasure of ever meeting." Roman said to them as a hover jet appeared behind him. He then jumped up into the open cargo door on the side as he threw a fire dust crystal at their feet. "This is the end of the line for you Red and Scales." Roman said as he shot at the dust crystal. Ryuma acted quickly and went to hold onto Ruby to take the brunt of the blast that was to come.

However, as the crystal exploded, a mysterious blonde older woman appeared and projected a barrier to hold back the explosion and protect the two teens. Ryuma and Ruby couldn't believe what they had just seen, what appeared to be a huntress appearing and saving them from injury. She used the riding crop in her hand to direct a blast of energy to hit the jet as it still hovered in place.

Roman was getting dizzy from all the hits. He went to the cockpit to take the controls and to tell his partner of what's happening. His partner, who was a woman, went to the open cargo area as the arm sleeves on her dress glowed red and fired concentrated energy blasts at the three people trying to stop them. The blonde woman blocked the attack as the attack then came from the ground at try to strike her, Ruby and Ryuma once more.

It was a back and forth match of redirecting the dust energy at each other and it would appear to be a tied match. "Ruby," she heard Ryuma tell her as she saw him hold his weapon. "Let's help her out."

Ruby switched Crescent Rose to gun mode and the two of them fired of some shots at the mystery woman in the jet. The woman was able to block most of the shots in her hand, but one of them did graze her in the arm, only leaving a superficial wound. She then used a fire attack to cause an explosion that distracted the three of them long enough to start to fly away from the scene.

"I can't believe this, you're a huntress." Ruby said to the mystery blonde woman. "Can I have your autograph?" Ryuma couldn't help but slap himself in the forehead.

*Interrogation room*

Ryuma and Ruby were both sitting on the same side of a table while the blonde woman was berating them for what happened on the roof. "I hope that you two realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly. You put yourself and others in great danger."

"Well in our defense," Ryuma began to respond. "They were the ones who started it."

"If it were up to me, you'd be sent home... With a pat on the back..." the blonde woman said as Ruby smiled at hearing this. "...And a slap on the wrist." She slapped her riding crop onto the table causing Ruby to jump into Ryuma's arms.

"But, there's someone here who would like to meet the two of you." The blonde woman moved as a man in green clothes and silver hair walked into the room. He was holding a coffee mug in one hand and a plate of cookies in the other.

"You gonna eat all those cookies mister?" Ryuma asked as he was feeling a little hungry and couldn't say no to a cookie.

"Ruby Rose," the man said to her, knowing her name. "You… Have silver eyes. And Ryuma Kasai," he said as he then looked at Ryuma. "You… are a fire salamander Faunus."

"And you… are a human, these are facts." Ryuma said in a funny tone. Ruby slapped him in the arm playfully due to his response. "Ow, that hurt." Ryuma said in a sarcastic tone.

"So," the man in green asked. "Where did you two learn how to fight like this?" the man asked as he pointed to a video of the fight Ruby and Ryuma had with the henchmen.

"Sig-Signal Academy," Ruby replied all nervously.

"They taught you how to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed and how to use that powerful martial arts styles?" the green man asked the both of them.

"Well it was more like one teacher to be specific." Ryuma told them.

"I see then." The man placed the plate of cookies on the table, as Ryuma quickly grabbed three of them before Ruby "The Cookie Consumer" started to go at them. "It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before and who knows of that fighting style. A dusty, old crow..."

"Ohm thash muh unkul." Ruby said with a mouth full of cookies.

"Translation: That's my uncle." Ryuma told the two adults. "Uncle Qrow helped us out when we needed assistance in our fighting styles. He taught me and Ruby everything we know about Scythe weaponry and Northern Shaolin."

"Yeah and now were all like," Ruby said as she acted like a kung fu artist, moving her arms around and even making kung fu sounds. Ryuma couldn't help but laugh at seeing her act like this.

"So we've noticed. And what is an adorable girl such as you doing at a school designed to train warriors?" The older man asked Ruby.

"I want to be a huntress." She replied with confidence in her tone.

"You want to slay monsters?" he asked her.

"Yeah! I only have two more years of training left at Signal! And then I'm going to apply to Beacon! You see, my sister's starting there this year, and she's trying to become a Huntress, and I'm trying to become a Huntress 'cause I wanna help people. My parents always taught us to help others, so I thought, Hey, I might as well make a career out of it! I mean the police are alright, but Huntsmen and Huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and cool and really, gosh, you know!" Ruby said as she got more excited towards the end and couldn't hold it in anymore.

"And what about you Ryuma, do you want to be a huntsman too?" The older man asked him.

"Yeah, me too; but my reason is similar to Ruby's. You see, I was always picked on and ridiculed for being a Faunus, but I never knew why until it was explained to me. I want to prove to everyone that not all Faunus are the same and that we are a proud people like anyone else is and that we can be as much of a hero that huntsmen can be. And I still have one year left at Signal." Ryuma explained this to them as Ruby was proud of him.

"Do you know who I am?" the man asked the two teens.

"The baker?" Ryuma asked with a smirk on his face. The green man chuckled at this.

"He's Professor Ozpin. The headmaster of Beacon, you should know that Ryuma." Ruby said to Ryuma, identifying the green man as Professor Ozpin.

"I know I wanted to see if I could get him to laugh, and it worked." He said as they turned to Professor Ozpin.

"Hello you two." Ozpin said to the two teens.

"Hi/What's up." Ruby and Ryuma greeted Ozpin with.

"Do you two want to come to my school?" Ozpin asked the both of them.

"More than anything/Sure." Both teens replied.

Ozpin looked at the blonde woman for a quick second before giving them a reply, "Well, okay."

*Inside the Airship, the next morning*

"Oh I cannot believe that you two are going to Beacon with me." Yang said as she hugged Ruby first. After she was done hugging her, she then went to hug Ryuma as well, but shoved his face into her cleavage as well.

"Yang please stop, he needs to breathe." Ruby said as she tried to get her sister to let go of Ryuma and him out of Yang's cleavage.

*Gasp* "Thank you Ruby." Ryuma said to her as he could breathe once more.

"This is the best day ever, I am so proud of both of you guys." Yang told them as she was still excited to have her baby sister and their friend in the same year of school as her.

"It was nothing sis," Ruby told Yang.

"Yeah, all we did was stopping a robbery and getting the attention of the Head Master of Beacon in the span of an hour last night." Ryuma told Yang with a smile on his face.

"You're not helping Ryuma." Ruby whispered loudly to Ryuma.

"I know you two will be the bee's knees." Yang said to them.

"I don't want to be the "bee's knees," okay? I don't want to be any kind of knees! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees." Ruby told Yang not wanting to get any special treatment.

"Yeah I got scaly knees so I am good there." Ryuma said as well getting a groan from the sisters.

"What is the matter with you two? Aren't you guys excited?" Yang asked the two of them.

"Well yeah we are but we moved ahead. Ruby doesn't want to be treated like she's special or anything and I don't want people to think I got special treatment because I'm a Faunus." Ryuma explained why he and Ruby didn't want special treatment. Ruby told him last night after having a hard time sleeping last night.

Yang hugged the both of them with one arm around their shoulders. "But you two are special and amazing people." The conversation would have continued longer but a news report about Roman Torchwick and then went on to talk about a Faunus protest.

The broadcast was then interrupted by the hologram of the blonde woman Ruby and Ryuma met last night. "Hello and welcome to Beacon."

"Who's that?" Yang asked as she is seeing the woman for the first time.

"Hey Ruby look, it's the woman we met last night." Ryuma said as he pointed her out to Ruby. "What was her name again?"

"My name is Glynda Goodwitch." The blonde woman identifying herself as Glynda said.

"Oh." All three of them said at the same time.

"You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." Glynda said as she finished her speech.

"Wow," Ruby said as she looked out the window to get a better look at the view. "Look, you can see Signal from up here."

"Really," Ryuma asked as he went over to see the view himself. "Cool."

"Come on guys let's get ready for our future at Beacon." Yang told them as she stood between the two of them. They then heard someone off to the side of where they were standing groaning and dry heaving. The teen was dry heaving, ran right past them to the back of the ship to find a garbage can to puke in.

"Well, guess the view is not for everyone." Yang said to them.

"It was a nice moment while it lasted." Ruby replied as well.

"I wonder what will happen to us now that were going to Beacon?" Ryuma asked as he changed the subject.

"I don't know but we just have to wait as see. Maybe we will meet some nice people, they could be better than vomit boy." Yang said as Ruby noticed something.

"Oh, Yang, gross! You have puke on your shoe!" Ruby noticed that Yang had some on her shoe.

"Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross!" Yang said as she went over to Ruby and Ryuma.

"Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me!" Ruby said as she ran from her sister.

"Yang, don't you dare use my tail to wipe it off your shoe. Yang, Yang!" Ryuma said as he held his tail close to his chest and ran from her as well.

I have a good feeling that this will be a great story. I threw in a weapon from Final Fantasy in there as Ryuma's weapon, you can never go wrong with a gunblade like that in the world of Remnant.

Also, I felt that I did a good job portraying Roman Torchwick here. He always seemed to me as the kind of Villain who doesn't like to micro-manage his henchmen all the time. One more thing, Ryuma's symbol is based on Ninja Salamander from Beyblade.
