The 6-year old boy stood at the grave. Sure, it was a little cold and snowy, but it didn't really bother him. As he lifted up his hood, he stared down at the name.
"Hey there, Grandma." The boy smiled. "Funny how we first met like this, huh? You must be thinking 'Who is this guy, and why does he look just like my daughter?'. Well, notice any difference?" He bet it didn't take long. Rather than being silver, his eyes were a crimson red.
"That's right." He smiled. "My name is Rudolph Rose. Does that last part sound familiar? Well it should. Ruby Rose is my mother. Pretty shocking plot twist, huh Summer?" He sighed.
"You've heard of her friend, Wiess Schnee, right? Well, Rubes probably told you everything. How Little Red Riding Hood got married to Snow White, and how she gained three kids as a result."
He was silent.
"It's complicated. Anyway, You're looking at one of them. There's also my older sister, Mei Schnee, and my younger brother, Winifred Schnee. Sure, my last name is Schnee, but I prefer Rose better."
He then noticed the sheathed weapon at his waist.
"Oh, this? Of course it's not Crescent Rose." He smiled. "Mom told you it was destroyed in her final battle against Cinder." His voice fell a little. "And how she lost her right eye. And how Mei saved the day. And… well…."
He pulled out his weapon and activated it. Before his eyes, it began to transform. On each end, two scythe blades detracted.
"Now, I know what you're thinking." Rudolph smirked. "But like I said, it's not Crescent Rose OR Crimson Edge. I call this baby Red Reaper. It's like Crescent Rose, only it has a little upgrade."
He was silent.
"No, it can't fire anything. Mom only has one ammunition clip, so I can't risk it. It's all she has left of Crescent Rose."
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
"I almost forgot!' Rudolph gasped. "I finally gained my own Semblance! Check this out."
Rudolph concentrated, and then his entire body burst into flames, including Red Reaper!
"Sorry, I didn't inherit your little girl's speed. My Semblance is Pyrokinesis. Plain English? I basically control fire."
The flames vanished, and the redhead smiled.
"Well, I'll be seeing you soon one day, Grandma. Stay cool."
As Rudolph left, he could easily remember Ruby's words to him.
"Just because you don't have silver eyes doesn't mean you can't live your live as a leader." She had said. "It is the destiny of you, Mei, and Winifred to carry on the names of Schnee and Rose. And no matter what happens, I'll always be proud of you. You will always be Rudolph Rose deep down inside. You will always be my son."
…
The Junior Division of the tournament had reached its final round. Amity Coliseum was filled with spectators. Rudolph had climbed so high. He couldn't back down. As he readied his weapon, he headed outside. Once on the field, he instantly made out many faces: His mothers Ruby Rose and Wiess Schnee, his sister Mei, his younger brother Winifred, his aunts Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long, and his cousins Shadow "Black" Belladonna, Solar "Yao" Xiao Long, and Li Belladonna. On the opposite side of the arena, he saw his rival: Sapphire.
Sapphire was Rudolph's classmate and best friend at Beacon Academy. Yes, THE Beacon Academy, the very same school his mother attended all those years ago. Sapphire was a 6-year-old boy with blue hair and blue eyes. He could also be Rudolph's rival at some points. But there was one thing Rudolph disliked about him. Every time a Silver-Eyed Warrior was brought up, he would just scoff the idea off!
"Yeah, right!" He would say. "Sure, I've seen a few guys with those eyes, but if you ask me, their powers are nothing but a legend! There hasn't been any fancy beams or magic thingamajigs for thousands of years!"
Man, was Rudolph hurt by that! His mother, grandmother, and sister had silver eyes, and Sapphire thought the powers they had were nothing but a myth! Every time he said that "Silver eye powers don't exist!", Rudolph had the sudden urge to beat him up.
This tournament was just what he needed.
"Hey Redhead!" Sapphire called out. Rudolph smiled. Redhead was one of his nicknames. Along with Rudy, The Crimson Kid, and, his personal favorite, Ruby Jr.
"You must be excited, huh Saphy?" Rudolph smiled. "I should warn you, the legendary Jaune Arc trained me for 2 years."
"Oh, you mean that dead blonde guy? Don't make me laugh, weirdo!"
Rudolph gasped.
"RRRRRGGGHHHH!"
In anger, Rudolph engulfed himself in his Fire Semblance and drew Red Reaper.
"He was the leader of Team JNPR AND my teacher and you call him a dead blonde guy?!" Rudolph roared. "Man, you know exactly how to get on my nerves!"
Sapphire became shocked at his opponent's Semblance.
"Wow, that's pretty cool!" He remarked. "Too bad, cause fire can't fight THIS!" Sapphire then unleashed his own Semblance: Aquakinesis, control over water! The blue boy then drew his own weapon: A double-bladed sword he called Blue Blood.
"Now, enough talk." Rudolph smirked, twirling his scythe/staff. "What say I kick your butt?"
"Sorry, you might wanna beat it, before I beat you!" Sapphire prepared his own double-bladed weapon.
The red and blue boys got into a battle position as the arena began to morph. On Rudolph's side, a massive volcanic landscape formed. On Sapphire's, a tropical beach was created. As lava and water began to flow and erupt, the announcer yelled out:
"LET THE MATCH BEGIN!"
As waves crashed and volcanos boomed, the boys began their fight. Scythe met Sword, Fire met Water, and best of all, Rudolph could hear the crowd, his family, cheering him on.
"That's my boy! Go get him!" Ruby yelled.
"Knock him into the water, big bro!" Winifred cheered.
"You got this, little brother!" Mei screamed.
Weiss didn't yell anything. She just smiled.
"Wow! I wouldn't expect anything new from my cousin!" Yao said. "He is Aunt Ruby's legendary son, after all!"
"Come on, nephew! Kick his a-mph!" Yang's screeches were block as a smiling Blake put a hand over her wife's mouth.
"Seriously, Dad, you should watch your language." Black sighed.
"That's just Yang being Yang." Li smiled.
On the battleground, Ruby put his training to the test. Even though he didn't inherit Ruby's Speed Semblance, he was still fast, as he backflipped to avoid a water wave Sapphire summoned.
"Just like the good old days, huh Ruby Jr?" Sapphire taunted, as his weapon clashed with Rudolph's.
The Crimson Child smiled, remembering the previous times he and Sapphire fought. Sometimes it was just for fun, others were because of Sapphire's Silver Eye Phony idea. Sometimes Rudolph was left standing, other times he was face first in the ground.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that, even though I'm totally gonna-." Rudolph was interrupted as another wave swept him into the water section of the arena. Leaping out, and coughing a little, Rudolph managed to kick Sapphire close enough to the mini-volcano so that his cape would catch fire.
"OWOWOWOWOWOW! What the heck, Rudy?!" Sapphire half-cussed as he tore off the cape as if it had silver eyes.
"Hey, there's only two rules in this thing." Rudolph giggled. "Rule 1: No holding back. Rule 2: There are no rules."
"Dang it, you're just like your mom." Sapphire growled. "With that childish attitude, knowledge of weapons, and wielding a big-butt scythe. At least you don't have those stupid eyes of hers."
"Why you little-!"
Rudolph began to swing Red Reaper furiously as if Sapphire was a Grimm. He had to be careful too. He once swung downward and stopped midway because one of the lower blades was inches from his crotch.
The fight had reached 5 minutes. Due to his mom's fascination of weapons, Rudolph knew that no matter what, a sword was just a sword.
Alright, let's see. He thought as he locked weapons with Sapphire again. Blue Blood has only so much durability. Looks pretty sharp too. If he hits me, I might leave this place with a Band-Aid or two. I know! I'll take out the weapon first! Mom may have relied too much on her own, but I won't make that same mistake!
He leaped back, then transformed Red Reaper into its Ranged Mode. He aimed, then pulled the trigger.
Sapphire braced himself, expecting to see blood. But when he opened his eyes…. He was perfectly fine!
"What the?"
"GOTCHA!"
Rudolph's weapon wasn't even loaded! He had fired a blank. He had made a few upgrades for it, but he still refused to use that Fire Dust Ammunition Clip.
Having caught Sapphire off-guard, he swung Red Reaper at just the right angle and broke Blue Blood in half!
"M-M-M-My weapon!"
"Funny, I though you were gonna say Baby, Sweetheart, or something fond-like."
"What!? That's just stupid! Who calls their weapon names, your mom?"
"Yep."
Sapphire was silent. To be honest, it was supposed to be an insult.
"My mom always told me that a weapon is part of you. You have a special bond with it, making you stronger. You can't live without it. I've got a feeling that's not how you felt about Blue Blood, huh?"
"T-That's ridiculous!" Sapphire yelled. "What, did your mom cry like a baby when her big billhook snapped in half?! HUH?! HUH!? DID SHE!? HUH?!"
Rudolph was silent. It always hurt when Sapphire yelled mean things at him.
But it really hurt when he yelled mean things at him and he was right.
Frowning, Rudolph threw his weapon aside.
"Now we're even." He said, clenching his fiery fists. "I'm not my mother. I don't need my own weapon to get me out of any situation. I still have this."
Rudolph began to charge up a fireball in his hands. Sapphire retreated to his side of the arena, threw his arms back, then forward, with water charging up in them.
The fight had to end soon. There was only a minute left!
Both boys threw the energy forward.
"HAAAAAA!"
"TAKE THIIIIIIIIISSSSSSS!"
Pillars of fire and water collided at the center, creating a massive steam cloud that blocked the entire arena, clouding the view of spectators.
"What happened!?"
"Mom, I can't see!"
"Did he win!? Did he win?!"
"Kids, please!"
As the commotion of the White Rose family calmed down, the kids of the Bumblebee family began coughing, batting the steam away.
As Ruby tried her best to see in the steam, she held her breath.
Please yet my baby win. She thought. He's gotten so far.
When the steam cleared…..
Rudolph stood atop a defeated Sapphire. The blue boy only had a few first-degree burns, but not that fatal.
"Ha!" Rudolph said. "If you can't take the heat, you are gonna get beat!"
The crowd cheered, with Team RWBY and their kids one of the loudest.
"YAAAAAAAYYYYYY!" Ruby squealed. "That's my boy! I'm so proud of you!"
While most of the crowd was cheering, Weiss turned to her lover and gently cupped her cheeks.
"And I'm so proud of YOU for bringing him into this world."
"Aww, thanks Wei-mmmpph!" Ruby's cute voice was muffled out as Weiss placed her lips against the silver-eyed girl's own. The only ones who noticed were Mei and Winifred. Mei just smiled while Winifred reeled back in disgust and tried his very best not to have a nosebleed.
As the arena reverted back to normal, even Rudolph could see his lovestruck parents. He smiled as their lips parted. It was through their love for each other and him that made him the champion.
Thanks Jaune. He thought. You've thought me everything you know about combat. Now your student has become the master.
Sapphire got up, coughing. Rudolph had gotten off him, with both their Semblances deactivated.
"You dork." The blue boy said.
"I prefer dolt." Rudolph smirked. As he helped his friend up, he turned to the broken Blue Blood.
"You know, I could have my mom fix that. You really need to upgrade to a stronger material, by the way."
"Well, at least I'm gonna slay more Grimm than you." Sapphire said, dusting off his shoulder.
"Challenge accepted."
"They ain't gonna be afraid of you, kid. Grimm'll easily go for anyone who they think have no silver eyes."
"Well, call me lucky if they run off from me in fear. They'll think I'm my mother."
"You only have so much lucky shots. See ya at school, Son of Ruby."
Rudolph smiled as Sapphire walked away. Afterwards, to celebrate his victory, the family went to one of the restaurants Ruby and Weiss went to when they were dating. After the meal, while Rudolph was waiting outside for his mothers to pay the tip, he heard a voice.
"Hey there!" A young voice called out. Rudolph turned to see the voice. He saw a blonde boy, possibly his age, with blue eyes. With him was a young girl, with red hair and green eyes. As Winifred came out, the two kids introduced themselves.
"Rudolph, is it? The boy who won this year's tournament?"
"Yeah, that's me."
"My name's Jake. This is my sister, Pine."
As Rudolph eyed the two, he noticed Jake had a sword and shield with a sun on it, and Pine had a spear and shield.
Wait a minute. He thought. They're just like…. like…
His eyes went wide.
"Is something wrong?" Jake asked.
Rudolph shook his head, snapping out of it.
"No. Nothing's wrong." The redhead said.
"Okay. I just wanted to say that we'll be attending Beacon next week. I'd really like to be your friend. You're like a legend already."
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
As the two went off, the rest of Rudolph's family came out. As they went home, Rudolph began to think that his quest to continue his mother's legacy had began sooner than he expected.
He couldn't wait to get started.
AN: Hey guys, WorldClassHero here! Lately, I've been hearing all about the future for RWBY. I've seen some art, with WhiteRose and Bumblebee having either two sons or a daughter. So I figured, why not have both of the kids? And yes, I'm also a big Dragon Ball fan as I am a big RWBY fan. I've even included some hidden scenes! For example, the fight between Rudolph and Sapphire is inspired by the fight between Goku Jr and Vegeta Jr. For another example, the ways Rudolph and Sapphire charge up their Semblance powers when the fight is almost over is just like a Kamehameha and a Final Flash. Even though both Jaune and Pyrrha are dead in this timeline, I've added a few more OCs for you Arkos guy's pleasure. Sure, Jake and Pine may not be the same, but they could be Arkos's kids if they were alive! Although Sapphire called the silver eyes stupid, Ruby and Mei couldn't hear him since the crowd was being loud. So only Rudolph and Sapphire could hear what the other was saying. Anyway, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter on Ruby's son! Next up is Rudolph's younger brother and Weiss's son, Winifred Schnee.
