Gun shots rang out as the girl ran past an old broken down dust shop, as the bullets sprayed past her, causing her to growl annoyed at her persistent attackers. Then again when she's the last surviving member of the human race, she doesn't have much of a choice other than to run. Well…there were some humans and faunus alive, but they sided with Salem and Cinder. Even when fighting, just cutting down one enemy cases another to pop up in it's place. She was able to get into an alley after using them and hide herself as they ran past her hiding spot. She sighed as she looked down into a puddle, scowling slightly annoyed at her long red and black hair, an eye-patch and a prosthetic arm for reminding her of what she lost.
Ruby Rose never did like her new look, but when fighting enemies nearly 24/7 doesn't give anyone much of a chance to cut their hair or get used to having one eye-lost along with an arm. Cinder had actually managed to capture her once and…repay her for causing the loss of her own arm and eye. She would have gone farther had the Resistance not saved her. Sadly she was the only one left of it as the rest of them were killed in battle or just at random. She scowled as she started to run once again after having been found in her hiding spot.
"Damn it all." She snarled to herself as she ran to a still standing but crumbling Beacon Academy. "Never thought I'd actually get desperate enough to use it." But then again, when the enemy is knocking at her door and making it so she doesn't have a choice, it's kinda hard to fight against her instinct to use it, no matter what paradoxical shit it might cause or whatever else that could happen. Better than stay in a living hell with everyone she knew and loved died. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. Weiss, Blake, Yang, Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora, Ren, Cardin, Russel, Dove, Sky, Coco, Velvet, Yatsuhashi, Fox, Penny, Ciel, Flynt, Neon, Arslan, Glynda, Oscar/Ozpin, Sienna, Kali, Ghira, Ironwood, Maria, May, Neo, Emerald, Mercury, Oobleck, Port, Summer, Raven, Qrow, Tai, Reese, Sun, Neptune, Winter, Zwei and Glynda. ….Ok, she might not have liked Team CRDL, but that didn't mean she wanted them dead! Neo, Emerald and Mercury had switched to her side when they realized that Cinder and Salem were going too far. Summer was in a coma and ended up waking up on Ruby's 18th birthday, so at least Summer was able to fight for what she believed in. Salem and Cinder even managed to bring Roman Torchwick back from the dead as a cyborg! Guess they were able to make him have all of his memories as well…right up to the point where he was eaten by a Nevermore and probably made him think it was her fault for letting it happen. He does search for her non-stop after all.
She glared at the tarp covering the time machine. She was able to finish it after Weiss and a few of the others died, luckily was able to keep it a secret until now. One of the reasons, actually the main reason, why she's put off using it for so long is because it's a one way trip. Once the time machine is used, it's set to explode and shatter and basically be unusable. Luckily she made a smaller version of it just in case she didn't go back far enough. She wanted to get a few months in before the Vytal Festival happened and if she appeared days or weeks before it, then she'd use the handheld version to go back a little farther and talk to Ozpin about everything. And hopefully see her wife again….though granted they wouldn't even be dating at the time yet, but she could possibly help her younger self and her wife get together sooner rather than later.
What am I, a matchmaker like Yang? Ruby thought to herself amused as she tore off the tarp to reveal the time machine. She put in the desired time and date in before getting in before screaming in shock and pain as she was shot in her arm. She looked back with a glare as she saw Torchborg behind her with a malicious grin and she smirked as she started the time machine and spit at him and a few of the others who were climbing through a hole in the wall.
"See you all in hell." She snarled as she disappeared in a flash.
