Hello peoples! This is the next story I'm writing now! This one is hopefully just as good as my other story. Michelle isn't in this one, her weapons are mentioned though. Ruby is actually the more important character of this story! She doesn't wear the normal combat skirt though, instead she wears something similar to Michelle's combat outfit. There are certain things that are going to be odd in this story. One is that Ruby has a voice in her head, she looks like a Faunus, the red marks on her face resemble those on the mask of a Beowolf.
Chapter 1
The time of peace was here for everyone to enjoy. Nothing was there to ruin it. That's what everyone believed. Yet there are still things that shouldn't have happened happening. These things happen to the best of us. These things happen to the worst of us. A monster sealed away for causing near total annihilation of the planet. The monster was stopped before its plan went into action. This was when peace was first thought was going to happen. A few years after there was a reported case that a Faunus was born from two human parents. Neither parent had Faunus blood. Yet the child was a Faunus. The child had horns, a scaly tail, claws, sharp canines, and red marks all over the skin. This was the first cursed child to be born.
The cases after words were always different. All children that are born cursed are said to hear the voice of the monster that was sealed away. Some could talk to Grimm. Some could control the Grimm. The thing they all had in common was that they could all transform into Grimm. People believed this to be a sign that the sealed monster was trying to have a child of its own in some way.
It had been 100 years since the monster was sealed away, yet something happened in a remote location. There was a cabin in a snowy forest. There was a little girl who wore a red cloak that lived with someone who wore a white cloak. These two were family, yet the woman in the white was human. The little girl in red was cursed. The little girl could talk to Grimm, hell she even commanded them to. She heard a voice in her head, and she could definitely transform into a Grimm. The woman in white wanted to hide her child from the world. But failed to prevent her from being found out thanks to a group of people that always tried to extort lien from her.
The little girl was alone after the screaming had stopped. She got up to get away but collapsed from pain in her legs. She was stabbed. A man found her and picked her up. This man was her uncle. He had found her on his way to visit his sister along with his other niece. He found the cabin burned down. He later thought it best to talk the little girl back with him. There was nothing for her here. Not any more at least.
1 year later
The little girl was walking back to her new home when something happened. She bumped into a tall man that was yelling racist slurs to a Faunus rights group. Her hood came off her head revealing her wolf ears and the red marks on her face. She apologised to him, yet he didn't like the fact that she was near him. He decided to teach her a lesson. He was a huntsmen from the look of it. His semblance was fierce as well.
He grabbed the little girl right side and scorched her back at the right, burning up to the back of her neck. He let go of her side then grabbed her right arm, scorching it as well. People started to take notice of what the man was doing to her. The Faunus rights group thought this was really horrible. They wanted to stop the man. Yet they couldn't move to stop him. They were held in place as to prevent them from helping her. The man's other hand grabbed the little girls left leg and scorched it to. He let her go, then placed his hand on her right eye, it was scorched for a couple of seconds.
Something unexpected happened though, a little girl with blonde hair, about 2 years older than the girl in red, ran up to the man and punched him square in the jaw, causing him to let the little girl in red go. The girl in red stood there for a couple seconds before disappearing before him, leaving behind red rose petals in her place. The man felt something nail him in the back of his neck, knocking him unconscious. The girl in red passed out in the arms of the blonde haired girl.
A new start, a new memory, and a new ability. That's what they thought they would give her. A little girl was attacked by a group of people and was left unconscious on the street, she had dark red hair. She was found by someone with blonde hair. She claimed that the girl unconscious was her sister, and she was seriously hurt. The nurses took action, picking her up and placing her on a bed and bringing her to the operating room.
A young girl lies unconscious on an operating table. She is covered in blood. The doctors think she is a lost cause. Yet, with a literally flaming blonde women in the waiting room waiting for them to start an operation on the young girl, an idea hatches. They grab healing Dust crystals, they began to heal the wounds on the girl. Something went wrong though. Instead of healing her, the dust transforms her. At least, that was the doctor's first thought. She began to wake up, feeling excruciating pain on her right eye, right arm, left leg, and the right side of her back.
She opens her eyes and screams in pain. Causing the blonde in the waiting room to run into the operating area in an over-protective rage. What she saw was disturbing to say the least. The doctors that were operating on her, were now lying on the ground dead. Their arms were ripped off, guts were ripped out of them, and the skin of their faces torn off. The blonde looked around the room for the girl. She hears quiet sobbing coming from a corner of the room. There was a curtain in the way.
When the blonde moved the curtain, she was startled from what she saw. The young girl's right arm was covered with black and dark red fur with white spikes coming out of her shoulder and black claws. She had a fluffy wolf tail that was black and dark red. The fur on her matched her hair colour. When the young girl turned her head to look at the blonde, she had a white mask with red marks on it. The blonde force the young girl to fully turn to face her. Her right eye was surrounded by black and dark red fur. Her eyes were both silver. There were wolf ears on top of her head. She had sharp thick canines coming out of her mouth. The canines were dark red in colour. Her left leg was different then her right leg. It was shaped differently. Like a wolves hind leg. The little girl crying.
"W-w-what's… w-w-wrong… w-w-with… m-m-me?" the young girl asked having a hard time talking between sobs.
"Ruby, it's going to be okay… we're both safe now, okay?" the blonde said to relax the young girl.
"B-b-but… I look… l-l-like a… m-m-monster though… what… a-a-are we going… t-t-to do, Yang?" Ruby asked between sobs. She was starting to calm down a bit.
"Well we should leave here… they won't be happy with either of us since the bodies are here…" Yang calmly replied. Ruby was almost done in her sobs.
"But… I'm not… I don't have any clothes on though… and I'm all bloody…" Ruby stated. Yang looked around the bloody room for something Ruby could use as substitute clothes.
"I could ask one of the nurses for a blanket… or we can use the spare clothes I brought with me…" Yang suggested. Ruby thought very carefully before she said something.
"Are they your clothes? Or are the clothes from your job?" Ruby asked sounding a lot better than before.
"They're my clothes, the princess, doesn't let me take her clothes to wash them anymore since that incident last week, remember?" Yang chuckled. Ruby laughed a bit.
"Princess? Why are you referring to her with princess instead of her name?" Ruby asked, she had a smile on her face. Seeing that made Yang smile as well.
"It's because of how she acts is all. Instead of an heiress, she acts like a princess. Hence why I call her princess." Yang replied with a smile.
"I'm sorry you had to get a job because of me…"
"Ruby, I don't care about that. Besides, if anyone's apologising for what happened to you, its uncle. I don't want to hear you apologise, now let's get you dressed and get home. Remember, I'm still going to signal to be a Huntress just like mom. You want to a Huntress to, right?" Yang smiled.
"Right! I'll be Huntress like you and mom!" Ruby cheered. Yang just laughed.
"Okay, I'm going to head out of here then come back with the clothes. Don't make a sound until I get back, promise?" Ruby nodded. Yang smiled and rubbed Ruby's head. She closed the curtains to hide Ruby. Yang ran out of the operation room back to the waiting room. She grabbed her backpack that she had left behind. Yang ran back to the operating area and heard Ruby scream. She blazed through the halls of the hospital to get back her. She smashed through the doors and saw a large man dressed in black, wearing a black mask and black gloves. He was pulling Ruby's left arm.
"You little brat! You are to come with me right now! You are a monster! You deserve to die like one for what you are!" the man in black said. He didn't notice the flames coming from the girl that just entered the room. Her eyes were red with anger and her hair was on fire. She ran towards the man.
"LEAVE MY SISTER ALONE YOU MONSTER!" Yang jumped at the man and punched him square in the jaw. The men went flying into the wall. "Yang… that's the man that killed the doctors… I was crying because he wanted to kill me… next thing I knew, I was behind the curtains…" Yang listened to Ruby but was still focused on the man she sent flying. The man got up.
"Foolish child, you are protecting the very monster that I must destroy. It's my duty to kill any and all Grimm in the world. A huntsmen is trained on fighting against the Grimm! She's a Grimm! I must kill her before she turns!" Yang's eyes intensified at what the man just said to her.
"I'm the fool?"
"You are because you are protecting that monster!"
"Then why are you trying to kill someone who is still young? If you kill her, you're destroying her dreams of becoming a Huntress! How is what you're saying just if the person you're killing wants to live and train to become someone as strong as you, to kill the Grimm that threaten our way of life! You're the only monster that I see in here. Ruby would never harm someone else!" Yang growled at the man. The man was taken aback by what she said. He never suspected one with the curse, would want to become the thing that kills Grimm one she is in fact a Grimm herself.
"What? I… I had no idea… I'm sorry for what I have done… but be warned! I will be watching over you two to make sure that she is indeed completely in control of her… power… you must also stay vigilante, make sure she controls it… she cannot kill a single human without having a just reason to… that is why I'm letting her live… take care… the both of you." He disappeared instantly. Yang calmed down and turned around hugging Ruby in her bear hug.
"I'm so glad you're okay Rubes… don't believe what he says… about you being a monster… you're not a monster, you're my sister… alright? You're going to control this, and you're going to be a Huntress, I just know it." Ruby hugs Yang back. She was crying a bit.
"Thank you… Yang… you saved me…"
"It's my job of being you overprotective older sister, right? Now, here are the clothes I brought. I hope they're not too big for you." Ruby took a deep breath and closed her eyes. The mask disappeared, along with the black and dark red fur. The spikes sunk back into her skin. Her leg went back to normal in shape. Yang able to see the actually extant of the wounds Ruby received. Though they were in the shape of scars now, but not as bad as she thought. It was small scars. Ruby used her Grimm powers to cover the wounds to accelerate the healing process and stop the bleeding as well. The only parts that stayed as her ears, tail, sharp canines, claws, and the red markings. Occasionally, the red markings will glow, though that just meant Ruby was trying to supress the evil that was there. That's what Yang thought it meant anyway. For Ruby, however, it meant that she was getting the powers under more control, the power was adjusting to her.
Yang brought Ruby back to Signal Academy. They got back, their uncle ran up to them, hugging them both. He smiled at them, knowing that they were okay. Yang was 8 years old at the time, while Ruby was only 6 years old. Both of them activated their semblances that day.
Ruby wasn't sure if she was cursed to be like this. Her abilities were far exceeding those that were the same age as her. She hadn't heard the voice in head. She was scared to leave Yang's side in case someone else decided to hurt her. Ruby wasn't able to remember that many details after that until an event that happened 5 years later.
5 years later…
Yang is now 13 years old and Ruby was 11 years old. Ruby has gotten the hang of using her semblance and controlling the power of the Grimm that she was born with, along with getting stronger and getting used to using a scythe thanks to her uncle. Yang on the other hand, learned to fight using gauntlets, also using her semblance as a boost to her attacks, basically she fights using unarmed fighting styles.
When Qrow was in his office, a man came in. The man was the new leader of the White Fang. Apparently, Qrow had an appointment with Qrow. Ruby didn't like the new leader, she liked some of the members of the White Fang though. They were always nice to her. The members the leader brings with him are always different though. The ones he brought this time were different than the ones that normally accompany him.
One was a girl with raven black her and amber eyes. She looked to be about the same age as Yang. The other was a boy with bright red and brown hair, he wore a mask to cover his eyes. He had horns coming out of his head. He seemed a bit older than the girl, probably about a year older. Ruby was getting really curious about the two of them. She wanted to get to know them since they seemed to be close to Yang's age. Though she leaned in too far and slipped down to the ground, causing them to look at her. Lucky for her that her hood was over her head, covering her ears, eyes, fangs, and most of her face.
"Ruby? What are you doing here? This is a private meeting. I thought I told you about this meeting and not to interrupt. Where's Yang?"
"I-I-I'm sorry uncle… I was just curious about who the new leader of the White Fang brought here with him this time… I didn't mean to interrupt the meeting… I haven't seen Yang for a while… she said she was going to go practice her fighting though… I don't know where she went, but she seemed upset about it though." Qrow's eyes widened.
"SHE SAID WHAT?!"
"Is that a bad thing?"
"Felix, I'm sorry to have to put this meeting on hold, until I get back, you may stay in this room or wait in the lobby and wait for me… my niece is doing something she shouldn't be right now… I hope you don't mind."
"Not at all, Qrow. She is your family. I guess it was lucky for you that your other niece had that little tumble into the room when she did."
"I guess so… maybe these two wouldn't mind sparring with Ruby as a way to pass the time? I was planning on sparring with her today but I don't how long that will take me."
"As long as they wouldn't mind, I'm sure they would be okay with it."
"I'll be right back, Ruby, please behave yourself while I'm gone?"
"I'll try uncle-I mean-I will uncle!" Qrow just sighed. He grabbed his weapon and ran out the door. Ruby looked at the two standing next to Felix.
"I guess you two will be sparring with this lively little girl today. I hope all goes well with your fight! I shall remain here."
"That's not allowed, Felix."
"Oh? Why is that?" Felix looked at her like she had a death wish. Ruby just looked at him innocently like he was crazy or forgetful.
"It's not allowed because I'll be fighting these two, neither of them can monitor the sparring to make sure that neither of us end up killing each other! That's the rules, someone who isn't fighting is allowed to monitor the fight! Sorry if I sound rude saying that…"
"It's quite alright. I understand… I'll be monitoring the fight." Ruby smiled. She grabbed the girl's and the boy's wrist and pulled them out of the room. Felix slowly followed her from behind. He noticed that her hood was up still. He didn't think much of it though.
When Ruby finally got them to the sparring field. She let go of the boy's and the girl's wrist. She turned to look at them.
"Felix, you can sit over there to watch, before I choose the one I want to spar with first… can you please tell me your names? You know mine, but I don't know yours yet." Ruby smiled at them waiting for a response. The boy looked at the girl and shrugged his shoulders. The girl nodded.
"My name is Blake Belladonna." The girl said.
"Adam Taurus," the boy replied.
"Okay, the one I'll fight first is Blake!" Ruby said with a large grin on her face. Adam shrugged and walked to stand at Felix's side. Blake and Ruby went on the field facing each other. Felix started the match by shooting at the ground.
Ruby just stood there. Blake ran towards her, weapon drawn. She swung at Ruby, who just disappeared in a flurry of rose petals. This confused Blake, Adam, and Felix. Why she would disappear if she wanted to spar with them in the first is strange, they thought. Blake soon realised what Ruby actually did. Blake felt something hit her stomach launching her a few feet back. Right there, 1 meter away, was Ruby. She was holding a high impact rifle, and was smiling. Blake thought it was impressive.
"So that's your semblance? Teleportation?"
"Nope! That's not it. Guess again!" Ruby disappeared again leaving rose petals in her place. Blake was currently at a disadvantage. She couldn't fight back if she couldn't see her opponent. Then, she heard a gunshot. She used her semblance to avoid the next attack. But she wasn't dodging a bullet. She was dodging a blade of a scythe.
"Nice you dodged the second attack! You're already more fun to spar against than the others."
"Thanks, though, if your semblance isn't teleportation, then is it invisibility?"
"That's close, but nope! I'll give you one more guess before I tell you!" Ruby disappeared for a third time, again leaving rose petals were she once stood. Blake looked around the ground and noticed something. There were footprints on the ground from where she was, that led behind Blake. Then it click in her head. This time she heard the blade of the scythe swinging down on her. Again Blake dodged it. Ruby was still smiling.
"I think I figured out what semblance you have."
"Then what is it?"
"Speed, your semblance is speed." Ruby smiled again.
"Yup! That's right! It's speed! I know yours already to, its shadow clones, right?" this time Blake gave her a small smile.
"That's right, but I don't think it was fair that it took me 3 guesses to get it right, and it took you 1 guess." Ruby laughed. The two continued to fight one another. Blake was finally able to land some hits on Ruby. Yet, Ruby wasn't the easiest target to hit. In fact, Ruby made it a point that she would make sure that Blake at least got some hits on her. Ruby was a little too accurate with her shots. Never missing Blake once. Though something forcibly stopped their match. A spear came out of the nearby forest. It hit into Ruby's cloak, preventing her from being able to escape using her semblance.
Blake's eyes widened, and she turned to where the spear came from. Three men wearing black masks came out of the forest. Blake looked at Ruby. She wasn't smiling anymore, she looked terrified actually. Even Felix stood up in terror.
"ADAM!"
"Right!"
Blake and Adam stood against the three men before them.
"Get out of the way! We're here on official business!"
"NO YOUR NOT! YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL ME BECAUSE YOU THINK I'M SOME KIND OF HUGE THREAT! I'M NOT A THREAT TO ANYONE! JUST LEAVE ME-" before Ruby could finish her last sentence, one of the men throw a knife at her, which went into her hand. Ruby curled into a ball from the pain. The voice in Ruby's head started to talk to her again.
Whydon't you teach them a lesson?'
'I don't want to kill them!'
'They are trying to kill you though… isn't it self-defence?'
'No… since some of them are not armed… I cannot hurt them…'
'You are weak!'
'No, I'm not weak. I just know how much worse this could get if I try to fight back. I needed a way to look like I'm in pain so I could unhook my cloak to escape and protect everyone long enough for my uncle Qrow to show up from finding Yang.'
'I stand corrected, your intelligence is part of your strength. I guess you are worth protecting.'
"Shut up you monster! You have no right to talk to us like that!" Blake and Adam looked at each other and nodded. They started to attack the three men. What they didn't notice was what Ruby was actually doing. She had no choice but to unclip her cloak. She now had the chance to escape. She was able to unclip her cloak and then used her semblance and disappeared leaving rose petals in her place.
"Shit! She's getting away! We have to track her down!" one of them pointed out. They pushed Blake and Adam back, and ran in the direction that they thought Ruby went in. After they were out of sight, Ruby appeared behind Blake.
"Are they gone now?" Blake was startled by the sudden appearance of the girl in red.
"Ruby? You're a Faunus?"
"Technically, no… I'm not… I'm cursed actually."
"Cursed? So… they were saying you're a Grimm then?"
"Yeah… they don't show up here when my uncle is here… though I can defeat them with ease… I can't kill them though… not unless I have a good reason… defending myself doesn't count though…" Blake just looked at Ruby with amazement. Ruby was wearing Grimm leather armoured greaves, and cuisse* (this is a part of knights armour for their legs). She had Grimm leather armoured arm plates. She wore fingerless gloves with small spikes. She also had a t-shirt that had the symbol of a red rose on it. Over top of the t-shirt, she had a Grimm leather armoured vest as well. All this had a black and red colour scheme.
"So, who were those guys anyways?"
"From what Qrow told me… they are from a group called Reaping Death. I think that's what he said at least…"
"You mean knights of the Reaper?!"
"Yeah that was it!"
"That's horrible for them to go after you…"
"They only started to come after me in a larger group… it's been like this for 5 years anyway…"
"This is horrible…"
"Well… there is one that let me live… he should have been able to prevent the others from coming after me… something must have happened to him though…"
"I think I see your uncle… what's he doing?"
"Uh oh… GET DOWN!" Ruby pushed Black to the ground and took the impact instead. Two groans were heard after that. Qrow walked out of the forest, eyes closed looking irritated.
"Yang… I have told you countless time already, you are not to over to that place under any circumstances! WHY THE HELL DID YOU DISOBEY ME AGAIN? I may give you and Ruby more freedom than the other students, but that doesn't mean pissing them off any more than you already have!" Qrow opened his eyes and saw a spear holding Ruby's red cloak in place. Yet, he didn't see Ruby anywhere.
"Where's Ruby?" he heard a muffled response coming from where Yang had landed. Yang started getting up rubbing her head in pain. Ruby was groaning in pain from being hit from Yang being thrown.
"RUBY?! ARE YOU OKAY?"
"Yeah… I'm fine… just sore from Yang being thrown into me… uncle… how many times have I told you NOT to throw Yang back towards the school? So now my usual point has been officially proven."
"Sorry Ruby… I didn't mean for you to be out here at this time… thought you'd be done sparring by now."
"Yeah didn't finish sparring cause those guys showed up again… also Blake here is actually a good sparring partner! She lasts a lot longer than anyone I've sparred with!"
"Did you use your ability or your semblance?"
"I thought I should only use my semblance, I was able to fight without using my ability once!" Qrow smiled at Ruby.
"That's great to hear Ruby! Now I need to finish my meeting with Felix, Blake and her friend there can stay with you two if they want to. Nothing bad is going to happen! Besides, the four of you are capable of defending yourselves, aren't you?" they all nodded. He smiled and walked away.
"How come you too are in the White Fang? That new leader is bad news." Yang asked Blake.
"Because we're trying to make a difference in the world. We're tired of being pushed around, the Faunus aren't bad, and we're people too. Some people just don't think that much about the Faunus we still have racism going on…"
"Well, if it makes you feel any better, I don't anything to hold against the entire Faunus race. I just don't like the White Fang, only because of the new leader anyway. The Faunus are people to me. This is despite what the White Fang is like now though." Yang smiled at Blake.
"That's nice of you to say Yang. Thank you." Blake smiled back. Even Adam had a small smile.
"I guess we're all friends now!" Ruby said with a large grin on her face. The spear that held Ruby's cloak to the ground, vanished. A man stood behind a pillar watching them overcome their differences. Ruby knew this person was standing there. She even heard a conversation the man had.
"You know, you should protect that cursed child. This will get out of hand for you."
"I know, Hunter Vex. I need to know that she is different in the end. She dreams of being a Huntress. What right do we have to take away someone's dream and making an enemy in one day?"
"The council is not be happy about your actions. Hunter Kilo, you are now responsible for the actions that girl takes. Though I am impressed that she choose to escape the three of them instead of standing her ground. There may be hope for her yet."
"I hope so, Vex. I swear to god, I'll make sure she follows the rules I set for her to follow."
"We all do, brother. We all do." The two disappeared. That was all Ruby could remember.
4 years later…
A girl wearing a red cloak, the hood up covering her head, and strange looking armour underneath it, was walking around the city of vale. She walked up to a Dust shop called 'From Dust Till Dawn'. The girl walked inside heading towards the magazine section and pulling out a weapons magazine. She was unaware of the danger that was walking towards the Dust she was in.
The danger was coming in the form of a man wearing a bowler hat, a white over coat, holding a cane, and smoking a cigar. He had 4 people that looked exactly the same… they looked exactly the fucking same walking behind him. They were quadruplets. The bowler man walked towards the Dust shop that the girl was in. He walked in, said something about Dust shops. The quadruplets split up to collect Dust from the other parts of the shop. One of them caught a girl standing wearing a red cloak reading a weapons magazine, the hood over her head, covering it.
"Hands were where I can see them, kid!"
No response from the girl in red.
"HEY! I said put your hands where I can see them!"
Ignored again. He walks up to her and grabs her shoulder to get her attention. This works. She turns her head around and sees the man that grabbed her shoulder. Her hood lifts up a bit allowing for most of her face, or lack thereof in this case. She was wearing a full mask, it was well designed, it had roses around the eyes in a dark red colour while the rest of it was black, this aloud her eyes to be the most out of place feature since they were a glowing silver under her hood and behind the mask. It also appeared to the man that she just wasn't paying attention at all to him when he tried to get her attention.
"Hands in the air! Don't do anything stupid and we won't have any problems!" the girl just stared at him for a couple minutes before she said something.
"Um… are you… trying to… rob me?" this was the most irritating to the man.
"Yes I am! Now put your hands in the air!" the girl didn't change her unimpressed expression in her eyes.
"I see… then I guess I should give a proper response to your order then." The man smiled thinking she was going to follow his directions after irritating him so much. He then felt something hit his stomach. He was launched back near the window of the shop. The bowler hat man got another when to go deal with the 'problem'. As soon as the next person threatened the girl, she decided it was a good idea to send this one out the window with her following suit with him. That is what she did. Her hood still staying up magically.
She pulled out something from her back and aimed it at the men in the store. The bowler hat man told the others to go after her. The thing she drew from her back unfurled into a deadly scythe. The goons still continued there charge at her. She dodged the first attack with ease. She shot the first attacker, then planted her scythe into the ground and swung herself up kicking another other one in the face, planted her feet back on the ground, she then finally took a shot to avoid the next attack, and she took her scythe and swung it out nailing the last guy in the back, knocking him unconscious. The fight lasted about less than a minute in total.
"Well aren't you guys just useless now…" He looked towards the girl in red. He took out his cigar and dropped it on the ground and crushed it with his cane.
"I would love to stay and try to rip that mask from your face, but…" He lifted his cane up and pointed it towards her. A cross-hair sight lifted up giving him a target to aim at.
"I'll be taking my leave now." He shoots at her, like the prick that he is. The girl dodged it by disappearing and leaving rose petals behind. The bowler hat man was apparently fast enough have ran towards a ladder and already have climbed it all the way to the top by the time the girl recovered from his attack. She appeared on the building within seconds. She shot at the bowler hat man. He was startled to have a bullet nail him in the back knocking off his feet. He recovered quickly.
A Bullhead flew up and allowed him to get on. The girl in red started to do something unexpected. She launched four explosive Dust crystal at the Bullhead. Something stopped the crystals from making contact with the ship. The bowler hat man throw a red Dust crystal at the girl in red. He aimed his cane at it and fired a shot. Something stopped the shot from reaching the intended target. The girl in red was surprised that the woman in front her just blocked the attack before she could counter it.
The fight ended with the Bullhead flying off, still in one piece. The woman that saved the girl in red looked at her. The girl in red stared at the fleeing Bullhead as it continued to get away.
"You're a Huntress… aren't t you?" the girl in red asked the woman. The woman just continued to stare at her.
"I'm guessing I'm in trouble… aren't I?" she had that question quickly answered as the woman brought her to a police station and into a room with a dim light, 3 chairs, a table in the centre, a mirror near the door, and a light that hung over the table. The blonde woman sat the girl in red in the chair that was facing the mirror. The blonde woman paced back and forth.
"Do you have any idea the damage you could have caused with the stunt you pulled?"
The girl in red didn't respond.
"You could have gotten hurt or someone else hurt with the fight that took place." The girl in red chuckled a bit.
"I'm not oblivious to things like that. I knew that no one could have gotten hurt because there wasn't anyone around there during the fight. In fact, the street in front of the shop was empty. Nobody to get hurt during a fight that they started when I was minding my own business in the first place. I also felt that I should at least stop the robbery in the store." The Huntress looked at her surprised. The girl in red, was well aware of her surroundings.
"… Right… well, there is someone who would like to meet you."
"Who would want to meet me?" the Huntress moved out of the way. A man with grey hair walked in holding a mug and a tray of cookies.
"Ruby Rose," this startled the girl in red. She didn't expect them to know her name.
"You… have silver eyes." Ruby raised an eyebrow from this comment.
"And you have grey hair… what of it?"
"How did you learn to fight like this?" He motioned his head slightly hinting at the video file playing on the Huntress' scroll showing Ruby the fight that occurred in front of the Dust shop. She made mental notes of any flaws in her fighting style.
"I learned from sparring with people at Signal Academy."
"They taught you how to use the most dangerous weapon ever designed?"
"Well… technically one teacher in particular taught me the most basic way of fighting with it. The rest just came to me as I sparred with different people." The man placed the plate of cookies in front of Ruby. She took one and slowly brought it to her mouth and ate it. Then the cookie massacre started quickly only to end within a couple minutes.
"I have only seen one person of that skill… an old crow." Ruby swallowed the cookies that she had just went through.
"Yeah, that's my uncle Qrow, I could barely fight on my own before he trained me. Now, I can take on anybody that could stand against me!" Ruby boasted. She felt a bit guilty for boasting after that.
"I see… and why are you attending a school designed to train warriors?"
"I want to be a huntress."
"You want to kill monsters?" the mention of the word 'monster' caused Ruby to flinch.
"Well, yeah! I was told to always help people… so I thought I might as well become a Huntress to, you know, help people. My sister is starting this year at Beacon, I still have 2 years left at Signal before I can attend, though. There are other reasons why, but I don't want to talk about it."
"Do you know who I am?"
"From what I can tell, I'm guessing your Prof. Ozpin, the Headmaster of Beacon Academy."
"Hello,"
"Nice to meet you,"
"You want to attend my school?"
"More than anything." He looked at the Huntress beside him, who rolled her eyes at him before he turned back to look at Ruby.
"Well, alright." Ruby smiled.
Day's passed and she was ready and set to attend Beacon. She was now on the next airship to Beacon with her sister. Yes there is going to be a lot of time skips because there would be nothing that I can think of that would sound amazing at these points of time.
"I'm so happy that we can attend Beacon together! This is the greatest day ever!" Ruby was having a hard time breathing.
"Yang… please… let me… go… I… can't… breath!" Yang released Ruby from her bear hug.
"Yang, I have told you countless times that I need air to breath, so you shouldn't hug me that hard, especially since what happened to my left arm… remember?" Ruby held her left arm under her cloak.
"Oh, yeah, sorry. It's just that I'm so proud of you! That's all I have for an excuse." Yang proudly smirked.
"I know, Yang… but remember… we need to stay together… I need help adjusting to this since no one here knows about what I am… that part at least I'm thankful for."
"Right, the job of making sure you stay in control no matter what thing… I almost forgot…"
"Yang, you need to take it seriously… The Knights of the Reaper are still trying to kill me, remember? Or did you forget that as well?"
"Jeez, sorry. Just trying to cheer you up." Ruby sighed realising that she needed to relax a bit.
"Sorry, Yang, I'm just really nervous is all…"
"Hey no worries… just to let you know… I will be making sure certain people shall be kept at a distant away from you, as your awesome older sister, of course."
"I know, I have actually come to expect that from you already." A boy with blonde hair staggered by looking like he was about to vomit.
"Uh… Yang?"
"Yeah Rubes?"
"Don't freak out… but you have vomit on your shoe." Ruby was backing away from Yang. Yang was freaking out over the vomit on her shoe.
This was a sure sign that things are going to be interesting at Beacon.
Yes, Yang getting puke on her shoe means things are going to be very interesting for the students at Beacon!

Dark Dragon Queen of Death
Before I leave it there, I wanted to ask all artist out there if they could draw Ruby in the new combat gear with her hood over her head and the mask, one with Ruby with only the hood over her head without the mask, and Ruby without the hood up and without the mask on. This would be much appreciated.
Thank you all so much for reading this new story of mine!
