Hey everyone! This is a story I had thought up for quite sometime. I'm only now publishing it. I hope you like it! Tell me what you think. All that fun stuff! I know this chapter is short but that's because I couldn't really think of anything else to add to the chapter. I'm thinking about uploading the first chapter of all the stories I have currently written but that isn't something that I'll do anytime soon. I'm still having a hard time with things. I've started rewriting my other story Crimson Wolf.

Chapter 1

Lightning flashed and the rain was coming down hard.

Ruby Rose, a skilled scythe-wielding Huntress in training, was fighting a Grimm in the emerald forest. She was fighting about ten Beowolves. Her speed wasn't doing too well with the rain. She activated her semblance and slid past a Beowolf and slid into a tree. Wet grass made it hard for her to keep traction on the ground when she ran. Ruby recovered and killed a Beowolf that had charged towards her. She stood her ground. The pain in her chest was making it hard for her to breath.

A Beowolf charged at her. Ruby blocked the attack and cut the Grimm in half. She walked towards the centre of the clearing and shot another Grimm in the head. Another Grimm charged towards her. Ruby cut the Grimm's legs off before decapitating it. Another Grimm had charged towards her. It swiped its claws at her. Ruby managed to dodge every strike almost slipping on the wet grass below her feet. A Beowolf came from above. Ruby swung her scythe up and cut the Grimm in half.

The others were harder to manage at this point. One charged at her and tackled her down. She managed to get away and shoot the Grimm's head off. Another Beowolf snuck up behind her and ripped some of the flesh off her back. She shot it in the arm before decapitating it. The last three were a pain to kill.

She swung her scythe at one and it blocked it. Another one slashed her arms and tore off the fabric of her sleeves. She pushed the Beowolf back and shot its left leg off. Another one came from behind and tackled her. Ruby recovered and shot its head. There were still two left. Ruby slashed the one missing a leg to pieces.

The last one hit her in the side. She let go of her weapon. She rolled into a tree and could barely move. She was tired. She had killed about twenty Grimm. The last one went up to her and looked at her. She looked into the Grimm's eyes and saw how bad a shape she was in.

Ruby felt alone in this situation. She couldn't do anything. The Grimm bit into her face and neck, clawing her arms as it tried to rip the flesh off of her face. Ruby tried to scream in pain but the Grimm kept her jaw shut as it bit into her face. She felt one of the canines of the Beowolf pierce into her right eye. It ripped off some flesh and tore her right eye out. The Grimm roared out, warning everything to stay away. She soon passed out from blood loss and went into shock.

Yang Xiao Long, a skilled brawling Huntress in training, was searching for her sister in the Emerald forest. She heard gunshots. She had yet to see her sister. She should have seen her by now. Yang searched most of the forest. She then heard a Beowolf roar out.

Yang entered a clearing and saw something that really pissed her off. Ruby's weapon Crescent Rose was lying on the ground, without Ruby holding onto it. A Grimm still alive, Ruby under it unconscious. Yang was now ablaze and eyes red instead of lilac. She charged, screaming in anger at the Beowolf, and shot at it. The Beowolf stopped and looked at Yang.

The Grimm got off of Ruby and charged at her. Yang punched it in the face and crushed it's skull with a single blow. After it died, she ran towards Ruby. Yang was happy that her sister was still somehow alive.

Blake Belladonna, a skilled stealthy Huntress in training, was searching for her partner, Yang. Yang said she needed to go find her sister. Weiss wasn't anywhere to be seen either. Blake ran through the trees searching for Yang. She heard someone screaming and shots being fired. Blake knew it was Yang but why did she scream?

Blake came into the clearing. Yang was on her knees holding something. Blake got closer. She saw Ruby's weapon and then saw that Yang was holding Ruby closely. Blake ran up towards them trying to see what she can do. She told Yang to shoot a flare into the sky. Blake called for emergency pick up at the location of a flare. Yang shot a flare into the sky.

Weiss Schnee, a skilled "Ice Queen" Huntress in training, was looking for her partner, Ruby. The two got separated during the mission. She was annoyed because Ruby wasn't answering her scroll. She slowly walked through the forest searching. She then heard gunfire and someone screaming. She knew it was Yang.

Weiss assumed nothing of it. She then saw the flare not long after. Weiss knew it was a distress flare. She assumed something happened to Blake. She rushed towards the direction of the flare. She entered a clearing and saw Blake and Yang hovered over something.

When Weiss saw Crescent Rose, she wasn't sure where Ruby was. She then understood what Yang and Blake were hovering over. They were hovering over Ruby. Weiss just shook her head. She approached them with a scowl on her face. The two looked at her but then saw the Bullhead fly above them. They were extracted and returned to Beacon Academy.

Ruby was taken to the infirmary right away. Yang stayed with Ruby the entire time. Blake and Weiss went back to the dorm.

"Do you think Ruby is going to be okay?" Blake asked Weiss trying to start a conversation. It wasn't a good start to an uplifting conversation in anyway.

"Who knows…? The dolt got injured because she ran off trying to take care of a couple Grimm that ran during a fight… It's her own fault…" Weiss coldly said. Blake got angry hearing that. How could she be that cruel to someone as kind as Ruby? Blake thought.

"What is your problem Weiss? She's our team leader! She's your partner for fucks sake! How can you be so cruel?" Blake yelled at Weiss. Weiss just rolled her eyes at Blake.

"And she screwed up! Blake, she is our leader. She should have waited for me to kill the last Grimm… she didn't… Now look! She's in the infirmary because of that!" Weiss snapped back. At this point, Yang kicked the door open and didn't look to happy about it.

"Yang… How's Ruby doing?" Blake asked, worried about their young leader. Weiss looked away.

"Ruby is in surgery… She has multiple broken ribs, a broken arm, a broken leg, a ruptured lung, a crushed and forcibly removed eye, a gunshot to the chest, a broken nose, a dislocated shoulder, deep gashes on her arms and legs, and a large deep wound on her back that seems to be deep enough to have cut through her lungs, spine, and heart…

She is unconscious… that's a good thing at least… I had to leave since I would have been in the way… They also said she has a fifty-fifty chance of surviving… I hope she survives though… she is the only one I truly have…" Yang said with a sad tone. She sat down in a nearby chair and stared at the floor. She didn't care about anything at the moment. The three ended up going to sleep in the quiet. Yang thought about her sister the entire time. She hoped that Ruby was going to be okay.

In the infirmary, Ruby was out of surgery. She was bandaged up and was still unconscious. Ozpin was sitting next to her contemplating.

"Miss Rose… How could this have happened? Why were you alone fighting so many Grimm? What happened to Miss Schnee? Why didn't she know about those with a speed semblance having a hard time in such conditions? I hope you make a full recovery… Your sister and your teammate are very worried about you…

I told this to Qrow… he is also worried about you… you can survive this… you are not alone… Please… get better…" Ozpin got up and walked out.
