CHAPTER: 1 - God Damn it Ruby
Ruby and her team were facing off against Cinder and her little group. After a long fight against each other everyone was on the last stand. Ruby look at Cinder and saw something in her eyes that said one of us will die here today.
"You and your team will not be leaving her alive." Cinder spoke very coldly toward that it even sent shiver down Emerald back.
Ruby didn't say a word, instead she looked around and saw that her team was on the ground with injuries that would prevent them from being able to do much now. Then she look over and Cinder and saw that Emerald and Mercury didn't look so great either. The only reason he was standing was because of the robotic legs of his. She could tell Cinder wasn't as injured as she was and Ruby knew she had to finish this off quickly or all their struggles to win would be useless. "Blake forgive me for what I'm about to do."
Blake looked worried and knew that if she pushed herself any further she end up dead. "Ruby don't be stupid if you die then all we fought for will end here."
Ruby nodded and looked at blake in the eyes. "I know but if I don't do something now we are as good as dead." She focused on Cinder again and she could her Blake started crying behind her fearing the worse. Ruby slowly closed her eye and reopened them and her eye were glowing and what looked like white wings appeared from her eye. Then as used her Semblance abilities and 2 other versions of her slowly came from her and started walking side by side.
Cinder started sending glowing shards at all versions of Ruby and fire as well. All versions of Ruby had to dodge the long range attacks because what damage they take the original will receive once they fused back together. All version of Ruby put the ground and created an ice wall big enough to shield her and her team. All the shards stuck into the wall and the fire melted it just abit. Two versions of Ruby ran around broken down buildings to flank Cinder and the last one ran up the fall launching herself into the sky, She transformed crescent rose into its sniper form and started shooting at Cinder who like when they meet the first time deflected them with her palm. One of the Ruby came up be her and sent a few ice shards at Cinder copying her attack and the other one came up to her side and tried cutting her in two. But she was able to create a sword fast enough to counter one of the scythe wielders and moved her hands in a circle making a fire shield burning away all the Ice shards. She then left go of the sword and grab her arm and throw Ruby at the other Ruby who caught her. Cinder then shot shards at them and there was no way for those to to block them, but at the last second the third Ruby show up and used her scythe to deflect all the shards.
"You look out of breath you think you can keep going like this because I'm more than willing to finish you off if you want." Cinder smiled devilishly at all off them.
Ruby had an idea that transferred though all their heads, and the other two sighed knowing they get an ear full from Weiss later on. One of the Ruby's got in a type of launching position and then one of them back up and ran toward that version and was launched into the air towards cinder and then another Ruby ran at that one as she got up grabbing ahold of that Ruby and spinning around a like a tornado and launched her at Cinder and she stabilized she slammed crescent rose into the ground and started shooting at Cinder. The one in the air came down with a spinning scythe attach using the gun to gain even more speed to prevent Cinder form using anything to block. Will the other was launched to the side of her and when she landed she moved crescent rose around Cinder and pulled the trigger and crescent rose started to move in a way to cut her in half like before. All the Ruby's that she hand know way to block put she flipped around the scythe blade and kick Ruby in the face and lifting the scythe into the are fast enough to block. When Ruby came down she smashed her scythe into her own scythe and the bottom of it got in bedded into the ground, Cinder looked up at that Ruby, while the other tried to get up. That was when the last Ruby took her chance and got behind Cinder and lifted her scythe up and into Cinder back, crescent rose went through Cinder stomach and she was lifted into the air. She started coughing out blood and looked down at the last Ruby who was breathing heavily and was crouched onto the ground with her scythe over her shoulder and on her back so it lifted Cinder off the ground. Cinder looked back at the huge blade sticking through her and she started to laugh.
"Y-You a-actually did i-it. B-But you've r-run out of time." Cinder stuttered through time as she was coughing up blood and dying.
Ruby pulled her scythe out of Cinder and started to fuse together with her other version and a bruise showed up on her face from the kick Cinder dealt her.
"I'll take you out with me if that what I have to do to get rid of you." Cinder started to slowly glow brighter and brighter.
Than Ruby realized it she was going to blow up and kill everyone in range "Damn it." She started to use both semblance to create the two other version and all of them started running after their team to try saving them. All the Ruby's grabbed someone from team Rwby and started all running in the same direction pushing themselves beyond their limits going faster than she ever had before. The rest of team RWBY was looking back to where Cinder laid laughing and then silence after a few second Cinder exploded. The blast of the explosion was catching up on them and Ruby had to push herself further so she could save the ones she loved. Ruby was moving so fast that all 3 version of her and the rest of team RWBY skin started to look like it was cracking like glass and energy started to glow out of them, then all their visions started to make everything around them look like it was bending and twisting right as when the blast consumed sending theme into a rift. When they all looked around they saw red cloud and white sky around them. Every Ruby fused back together.
"What happened where are we?" Weiss asked a little scared they all just died.
"I don't know, but it is strange." Yang asked trying to float toward Weiss.
"Ruby! Ruby are you ok? Can you hear me?" Blake was holding Ruby in her arms and trying to wake her. Even though she looked dead she was breathing.
"I think she passed out Blake, I highly doubt she would just die on us. She to stubborn to leave you." Yang tried making the black cat happy.
"She most like right Blake. After a fight like that she probably be more afraid to die and have you pissed at her for the rest of your life." Weiss looked at them and tried to smile.
But before anyone could speak they were all consumed by darkness.
Ruby slowly opened her eyes to see that she was laying in a forest, she looked around and not far from her she saw Blake laying up against a tree. She tried to get up but felt excruciating pain around her whole body. She slowly crawled over to Blake and slowly sat up against the tree, and then started shaking Blake to try and wake her. After a few a bit she slowly woke up.
"Thank god you're alive, I was worried." Ruby moved her hand up to Blake cheek and smiled at her.
Blake slowly kissed Ruby making sure that was her and not some hallucination. "I should be the one saying that you scared me half to death."
"So a simple sorry won't cut it." Ruby asked knowing what Blake would say.
"No no it won't but for now as long as you're alive then that all that matters." Blake pulled Ruby head into her shoulder as she was crying tears of joy.
They stayed like that for a bit before getting up and looking around. Ruby had to wrap her arm around Blake she she wouldn't fall. As they walked around to see where they were they were surrounded by grim and neither one of them was in the condition to fight. But before the grim could even land a hand on them, they were killed by someone they knew all too well. Ozpin came out from the tree line with Glinda in tow and when Ruby and Blake saw them they looked 10 years younger.
"So who might you two be and why are you seriously wounded?" He took a drink from his mug after he spoke.
"Huh, I'm not sure you believe me if I told you Ozpin." Ruby said as she looked at her former headmaster.
"Well I highly doubt whatever you have to tell him would actually faze him." Glinda said putting crossing her arms under her boobs.
Ruby sighed and then looked at Blake who nodded knowing what she was going to ask. "My name is Ruby Rose, and this is Blake Rose."
Ozpin dropped his mug and looked at the both of them and for once Ruby and Blake could tell what he was thinking. Glinda looked at them frozen unsure what to say or think.
"But that is impossible, you two look like your in your mid twenties. I just saw you two yesterday." Ozpin explained still looking at them for answers.
"Well I like to tell you I know more. But that not the case. Plus it would do you two good to help us to the infirmary so we can get helped so we can continue this little talk, or would you rather lets us die here." Ruby said feeling weaker each second.
Soon after Ozpin and Glynda help them to the infirmary putting them in private rooms and had special doctors look over them and asked them not to ask who they were. After Ruby and Blake got the treatment they needed they went to Ozpin office to talk in private.
"So can you tell more of what happened?" Ozpin asked and for once instead of coffee he had a bottle of Vodka next to him. It seem like he would need it after what they were going to tell him.
"Well we were sent on a mission by you to take down Cinder so we had a better chance at winning the war we faced. But the battle was to taxing on our body and the two left standing were me and Cinder. To win against another Maiden I had to use my Maiden abilities and my speed. My body was pushed past the limit as it was so I couldn't do anything to strong. With collaboration of my copies we were able to get and opening and I finished the job putting my scythe through her body and when we thought we won she had a trump card. Then she focused all her energy and literally became a bomb and to save my team I had to push my body past it limits and I ran as fast as I could and the last thing I remember before waking up was that everything around me started to twist and bend. That it pretty much it that I remember." Rudy told him everything she knew and then turned to Blake. "You have anything to tell him?"
"Well everything she told you was correct, but during the time she was unconscious we were engulfed by the blasted and ended up in a realm so to say that had red clouds and a white sky, and before we ended up here everything went black." Blake said and looked at their expressions.
Ozpin gulped a good portion of the vodka before handing it to glinda who also took a drink of it. "So based of what I think happened and I've never heard of it before, I think you time traveled into the past."
Ruby and Blake looked at each other and then back at the two professors who seem so well collected up until now. "Well it make sense because the two of you look almost 10 years younger from the last time I saw you. What time period is this?"
"It only been a month since team RWBY started school. So I think that give you a pretty good idea how far in the past you are." Ozpin kept looking at Ruby and Blake as if he blink they would vanish and that would have just been his imagination.
Ruby looked at Blake and spoke quietly like she couldn't believe it. "We traveled back 12 years."
Blake was as speechless as Ruby since that just proved his point that they time traveled. Everyone in the room stayed in silence for a bit trying to process what they all just heard.
"So what will you do then? What are your plans since I don't think you can get back." Ozpin took another drink of the vodka.
"Well I think we need to show ourselves to your younger selves since there now way we can do anything until they know, we probably could trick normal people. Since I know that our younger selves aren't stupid in the slightest. Then we need to see if we can find Weiss and Yang, while you tell the headmaster of each school and the counsel." Ruby said as she looked at them to see if she could read their expressions to see what they say, but Ruby was getting jack shit from them.
"Well I see your point, so when will you go show yourselves? Would you like me to call them here?" He asked grabbing his scroll.
Both Blake and Ruby shook their heads. "I think it would be best if we rest for a bit before have to deal with all the questions they ask. So let them stay in class, we will wait in our old dorm room for them." Blake spoke knowing they need rest.
"Well that makes sense, well for now I'll need a bit to wrap this around my head and need to figure out how to explain this to the counsel, and the other headmasters." Ozpin said as he just turn his chair slightly and looked out the window.
Ruby returned to their old dorm and when they got there both Ruby and Blake laid in the bed they use to lay in Ruby needed a bit of help in her since she was the most injured. They would lay together but it be hard to explain to their younger selves that they were together. While they waited Ruby pulled out her black scroll and made a few adjustments so it could work during this time period. She started to play games while she waited. Blake read for a bit before taking a nap. After classes ended team Ruby headed back to their dorm to find two people lying in two of the beds.
"Who are you two and why are you in our dorm?" Younger Ruby asked as she walked into the dorm room.
Future Ruby looked at them behind her scroll before moving her legs over the bed to drop down but was stopped when Future Blake spoke up. "You drop down with your injuries and I'll hurt you." Blake got up and walked over to Ruby and helped her down before both of them look at team RWBY showing their faces.
When team RWBY look at the two older women in the room they froze in place. "Well to answer your question my name is Ruby Rose and i'm 28 years old."
"And I'm Blake R…. Belladonna. I'm 30 years old." Blake almost caused the problem she and Ruby tried to prevent.
"B-B-But H-How?" Weiss looked back and forth from future and past.
"Well a lot happened and you can say we time traveled without meaning too." Ruby rubbed the back of her head and had a thin layer of pink on her face. Which Blake nodded confirming what she said was true.
"Well shit, is it only you two or are the others here too?" Yang asked for two reason. One to see if they were actually the only two and if not she wondered what her future self looked like.
"Well we think they made it her as well. But so far we haven't heard anything from them." Ruby then sat down on Weiss's bed.
"Oh I see." Yang spoke with a hint of disappointment.
"So what will you do know?" Ruby then moved closer to her future self to get a better look at her.
"Well we hope to find the rest of our t…" Future Ruby couldn't finish he sentence because Ruby scroll rang.
Ruby pulled out her scroll and saw it was her father. "Should I answer him, or no?" Younger Ruby asked know she was talking.
"Yeah it fine." Future Ruby answered with a smile on her face.
Younger Ruby answered her scroll. "Hey dad is there something you need."
"Yeah I like to asks you a question. Is yang at school with you?" Taiyang asked.
"Yeah, why?" Ruby put the scroll on spreaker so everyone could listen in.
"Oh I see, will I must be losing my mind since I swear I'm looking at Yang who looks like she's in her thirties." He was looking at yang who was sitting on the couch watching TV.
"Oh I see, well I need to show you something so I'll call you back in a second." Ruby looked around and saw that everyone was a bit surprised. "So I think we should send him a photo of all of us in it and send it to him."
Future Ruby nodded and used her semblance to create another version of herself and then took younger Ruby scroll. "Everyone get close I can't do this for long, and yes Ruby I'll teach you how to do that later." Right after she said that they all got together and took the picture, it show all of team Ruby standing in front, and it had the future counterparts standing behind them.
After they sent the pic to Taiyang they called him again. "So did you get the picture?"
"Yeah we got it." Tia said trying to wrap what he saw around his head.
"Oh and I'm here too, After he let me come close to him." Future Yang said joining into the conversation.
"So I see you made it as well, what happened when you showed up?" Blake asked wondering what happened to her teammate.
"Well that kind of a funny story." Yang said before telling the story.
Yang came flying out of a black portal unlike Ruby and Blake she was awake when it happened. She appeared in the house she and Ruby were born. She was flung out of the portal and went flying through a wall and ended up in her old room. When she got up she rubbed her head and held the area where she was cut on her leg. She went to the kitchen and grabbed a rag and wrapped it around her leg to stop the bleeding. She of course had other cuts but the one was a bit more serious that the others.
"Hey is anyone home." She asked and got no response. After she went to the hole she made and thought 'Dad is going to have a heart attack.' She then went over to the couch and sat down and started to rest and watch TV as she waited for her father to get home. After about an hour Taiyang showed up.
"Hey dad how are you?" Yang asked as she stayed on the couch.
"Yang what are you doing here I thought your suppose to be at Beacon and what happened to the wall?"
"Well I probably am, you should call Ruby and she what she says." Yang said and soon after Tai called Ruby.
"You fucked up my room really." Younger Yang said a bit pissed off.
"Well it kind of both our room, I am you after all, just a bit older." Future yang replied.
"Yang that should be the last thing you should be asking at a moment like this, shouldn't you be a bit more concerned for our father right now?" Future Ruby looked at her so to say younger sister. "Because based on how Ozpin took it he need to drink from a bottle of a that is a hundred percent vodka and Glinda as well."
Everyone in the room looked at Ruby then Blake to see if she was telling the truth, and in response she nodded her head. "Well damn, dad are you ok, do you think you can handle what going on?"
"Yeah I think so. But I'll need to go lay down later on." Tai was trying to understand just like Ozpin and Glynda were when they heard what Ruby and Blake told them.
"Well when do you think you two will be here?" Future Ruby asked.
"We'll probably be there in a day or two, I think I should go lie down dad so he can get some sleep and understand what happening." Future Yang said as we waited to hear what they say.
"Well stay safe Yang and try not to break anymore walls ok." Future Ruby asked.
"Yeah will do see you later little sister." Yang hung up the scroll.
Right after Future Ruby got a message on her scroll it was from Future Weiss.
Weiss: God damn it Ruby what the hell did you do this time….
Ruby: Well I may have sent us back in time. Why what wrong.
Weiss: I just knock out my father and know in the middle of trying to explain to Ironwood and my sister Winter what going on.
-Few minutes before Weiss messaged Ruby-
"So how much longer until we will be in Vale." Mr. Schnee asked General Ironwood.
"In about 2 hours. We will be meeting with Ozpin." Ironwood responded walking down the hallway with Mr. Schnee and Winter as well.
"Good, I like to…." Before could finish a black portal appeared in front of all three of them.
Weiss came flying out of the portal and smashed face first into her father face knocking him out and causing them to fall over with Weiss on top her father. "Damn what did I hit." When Weiss looked she saw her father lying on the floor out cold, she slowly got up since she was still injured. Once she was standing she look around see the portal gone and Ironwood and her sister. She saw that they were a bit shocked to see her here and more shocked she looked that she looked a lot older.
"What what are you doing her Weiss and how did you do that?" Winter didn't really know what to say.
"Well I'm not sure, and aren't you suppose to hate me more?" Weiss looked around the ship and back at her sister.
"No why would I hate you and why do you look so much older?" Winter wanted to get thing more clear.
"Well I don't know what your talking about, but to get this cleared I need to message my leader. Take care of him while I do so." That when Weiss messaged future Ruby.
Weiss: God damn it Ruby what the hell did you do this time….
Ruby: Well I may have sent us back in time. Why what wrong.
Weiss: I just knock out my father and know in the middle of trying to explain to Ironwood and my sister Winter what going on.
Ruby: Oh I see, WAIT you knocked out your father?
Weiss: Well I didn't mean too it wasn't like I was planning it. But it feels good for once I was able to make him pay for what he did.
Ruby: That does make sense and to help with telling them her -Ruby sent a photo- it a photo of me and Blake with our younger selves.
Weiss: Well thanks, and I'll try getting to you as soon as possible. One last thing before I go, God damn it Ruby of course you sent us back in time.
Weiss then show both Ironwood and Winter the photo before speaking. "I'm from the future and that it two of my teammates with our younger versions."
After they looked at the photo they had main question, but they couldn't ask them the since they needed to get Mr. Schnee into one of the rooms on the ship and Weiss in another so she could rest.
"Well it seem like all of use made it here, it may take everyone a bit to get here tho." Future Ruby said.
"Well what now? What are you going to do?" Younger Ruby asked the same question.
"Well me and Blake need to get some rest so we can stay here with you and talk or we can get a different room talk to you later. Once all my team is here we will have to go talk with a few people. So that what we have so far." Future Blake sighed at how annoying all this would be.
"Yeah so me and my wife need to get some….. Damn it I split the beans." future Ruby then looked at Blake who was looking down pinching the bridge of her nose, the she look at Younger Blake and Ruby and saw that they were completely shocked and confused.
Well I hope you like the story so far and yes I'm leaving you off with a cliffhanger. But please tell me what you think it be helpful to know what you think.
