15 year old Ruby didn't know how she ended up here and let out a small sigh as she twirled her fingers and fiddled with a small stick and cobweb, she found in the room. After an apparent accident involving her and a few bullies she was taken into the police where she was placed into a prison in solitary confinement. Not because she did anything wrong, mostly to keep her away from other prisoners. "Hmmm I wonder how Yang is doing." She said to herself wondering about her older sister who is going around the world and helping it in any way she could. All while she stayed back with her dad. "Oh gosh, what's dad going to think when his baby girl is in jail." Ruby remarked and saw a scroll put next to her. She picked it up and started to play a game.
'Honestly, ever since mom left, he's been acting as if I was the last string in a thread.' She thought to herself before she brought up a cookie and ate it while playing her game. She then noticed the small mini camera above her and blinked before she waved at it.
In the security camera room, the guard looked down in shock. "B-But that camera s the size of a pin how could she see it?" He said before a blonde man was escorted in by the warden of the prison.
"Here we are Mr. Xiao Long, this is where we were monitoring your daughter." He said as Tai looked at the screen. "Now we brought you here, even though your daughter is of age to go freely by herself. The thing is… She wont leave!" He said as Tai looked at him oddly.
"Wait, Ruby doesn't want to leave prison?" He said getting scared of what his daughter was thinking, had she gone mad!?
"Yes well, the reason she says she's staying is because she's being followed." The warden said before the security guard gasped and leaned into the screen to try and get a closer look. "Hey what is it now?"
"Th-There's a-a-an Arcade machine!?" He said as the three of them looked in and saw Ruby playing on a National Combat arcade machine, it was a bit larger than her and she stuck her tongue out focusing on the game, the three men didn't notice how well she was playing as her hands were blurs and the character was moving extremely fast and was mowing through the opponents in the game. "B-But it was empty with only a bed and a small table before." He said as the room had become a small crib for ruby and there was a larger table with some food and a better blanket with pillows.
"Mr. Xiao long, I've met many prisoners here in my time, but your daughter is both the nicest and strangest one I've met." The warden said as he tried to keep an eye on anything that appeared out of thin air. "Hell, I don't even know if she can even hurt a fly." He said as he noticed a soda can appearing in the room. Ruby then got off and they notice the screen on the arcade had ruby name at the top of the score board. And the bottom. And the middle, her name was in every slot and every score was the same perfect high score. "Yet it's amazing to hear she fought and nearly killed 4 near adult teenagers on her own." Tai looked at him seriously.
"Who were these guys?" He said in a dark tone as the security guard flinched and the warden looked at him.
"Apparently 4 males, who got their arms broken, lets twisted, and had multiple bruises on their backs and chests." The warden listed as he saw Ruby playing with a small ball and tossed it around. "Would you like to see her?" He asked as Tai nodded immediately.
With ruby she ate another cookie and then gulped down some milk before she saw the small slit in the door open. "Rose! Your father is here to pick you up!" The warden said as he tried to open the door, but to no avail, he looked down at the handle. "What? I could have sworn this was unlocked now." He checked and the lock was unlocked, and he pushed only for it not to budge, not even a small movement. "What the!? Rose! Unblock the door!" The warden said as he tried to see what was blocking it, only to see nothing. "What!?"
Ruby let out a small sigh as she looked at the Warden. "No, I'm staying here from now on, it's safer this way, nice walls, food, water, entertainment. And a way to get my studies done." She said smiling a bit as she held a small academic note book.
"Ruby! It's me your dad!" Tai said pushing the warden aside. Ruby looked at him and her smile went away as she put her book down. "I'm here to take you back home!" He said worrying about his daughter.
"Ugh… look dad, you're the last person I want to see, so please do us both a favor and go." She said coldly while closing her eyes as she looked back down at her book and skimmed through each page. "There's something following me, and I'm pretty sure it was the thing that beat up those four guys." She said while she noticed the page turned by itself. "Hey… I can do that." She said as she turned her own page and kept reading.
"It's the strangest thing, No one has ever wanted to stay in solitary, besides this is the only room, we were going to use it for people more deserving." The warden explained as Tai looked at the door. He then got an Idea. "That's it! Wait here I got a call to make." Tai then got his scroll out and made a quick call as he looked back at the door worried. "Ruby..." He said worried for his daughter.
-in Vale-
"Hmm?" A fingerless gloved hand grabbed a scroll and brought it near a head of blonde locks. "Yello?" Her voice was clear as she looked out the window of her apartment. "Ruby? Really?" She said as she listened to her father's voice. After a bit her lilac eyes widened at what she heard. "Uh… I'll call you back, I got to go get someone." She said before she turned her scroll off.
Yang then went and got her empty suitcase out and then started to pack stuff into it. Her clothes, and some extra shades for example went into the bag, along with some hair products. She then made another call and smiled as the person on it answered. Her robot arm forced the bag close as she put the scroll up to her ear. "Hey, I need you to come at the bullhead docks, I need you to help me with something…... Yeah I think somethings come up…" She said and after a few more words she smiled. "Thanks, your very dependable." She said before she picked her bag up and left her apartment.
-Later-
In the once empty room Ruby was watching tv in a small screen made for the room. "Hmm." Ruby noticed it took a while and guessed that her dad left. She rubbed her cheek and sighed as she laid against the luxury class pillows. 'Good Its better he's not here.' Then suddenly the door slit opened and a new pair of eyes was shown to Ruby. "Hmm?"
"Hey there, it's been a while." Yang said looking at ruby through the boxed hole while the rose stayed there and blinked a bit.
"Yang?" Ruby said as she could see her half-sisters' eyes brighten up and she stood up and went over to the door. "No, no, no, you need to leave now! Go with dad and leave." She said seriously as she looked at Yang through the hole. Yang let out a couple laughs before she backed up.
"Okay Rubes, get out of the cell." She said as Ruby sighed and sat back down and ate a cookie. Then a new pair of eyes looked through the door hole and Ruby's silver eyes met up with a pair of yellow eyes.
"So, your ruby?" She said as Ruby narrowed her eyes at the new character before she slowly nodded. The woman nodded and spoke up again. "Yang told me to get you out of there by any means necessary." She said as she then stood back and after a bit Ruby quirked an eyebrow before she saw something shocking, a single figure in the shape of a woman taller than her with a bow on their head entered through the door very slowly before something out. The figure looked at Ruby and went to grab her.
"Hey hands off!" Ruby said backing up and standing away from the figure as it appeared to be stone like. She easily dodged out of the way of each grab they tried to make at her while jumping and using her smaller size and nimbleness to stay away from the stone person. Then before she could do anything another stone person phased through the wall slowly. "Nngh! Another one." Ruby mumbled as she kept dodging their grabs and hands. Then one managed to grab her hood and made her stop as they pulled her forward.
"I have her Yang." Blake said before she tried to bring the girl out, but then she stopped, and her neck had a small cot on it. "AGH!" She held her neck and let out a couple deep breaths. She then looked at Yang and Tai. Yang flinched seeing her friends' neck being cut and immediately knew what was up. "Yang, it looks like you were right." She moves her hand to reveal a clean cut into the front of her neck that wasn't too deep, but it bled slightly.
"Blake, it seems she destroyed your clone." Yang said smirking as she moved over and opened the door hole. "AHA!" She yelled as the others looked in didn't see anything but ruby looking at a something next to her. But Yang manage to see a levitating figure above Ruby that was just arms and shoulders, it had black, red tinted hair like Ruby's and a white hood/cape hybrid going down, it also had 2 claw like arms with a scythe hanging on to a part of its cloak but was held by the clawed hand. "My sister has a Semblance!" Yang yelled as the warden was even more confused and so was Tai.
"Wait, semblance? Yang what are you talking about?" Tai said confused as Yang observed the cloaked figure.
"Something that I'll explain later. Blake can you still get her out?" Yang asked as she saw Both the stone figure and Ruby's semblance staring at each other. After rubbing her wound a little with some cloth, the faunas nodded before she closed her eyes and then she held a metal key in her hand and then crushed it and it disappeared. "Oh? Stone isn't enough?" Yang said as Blake nodded and then Ruby saw another clone come through the door and then the hooded figure next to her ran and sliced at the neck once more. Only for it to do nothing.
"What?!" Ruby said surprised as she saw the metallic figure coming out as the stone one crumbled to pieces. "It's gone." She said before she saw the metallic clone dash at her, and she backed up and easily dodged it but then she saw it hit the floating figure in the chest and then Ruby let out a small yell as she was backed into a corner. "Nggh! I felt that?" She mumbled as she looked at the metallic figure and now saw more details on it, such as the 2 cat ears on their head and the straps around his body and hands and its face being covered by some more ribbons.
"Ruby, what you see is something that follows Blake, much like how you say you're being followed. This is her semblance, Gambol Shroud!" She said before Gambol Shroud went and grabbed Ruby's arm and her semblance appeared and let out a screech before it started to strike Gambols arm repeatedly, making Blake flinch slightly. "And by the look of how clear and obvious to see it, means that your semblance must be powerful in her own right." She stated as Ruby's semblance then grappled with Gambol Shroud and tapped his neck with her scythe and Ruby didn't hear anything hollow and saw the cracks on the ground.
'He must be made of pure metal then.' The Rose deduced as she backed up away from the two before she grabbed the cable that came out of the wall that led to the arcade system. She used a small blade and cut the plastic and as Gambol Shroud was grappling with her semblance she held the cord in her hands and then it was cut cleanly in half by the scythe and then before Gambol could react the broken end of the cord was pressed against his metallic chest and soon electricity coursed through his entire metal body and the same happened to Blake.
Outside Blake let out a yell as she got on her knees and panted before the door was open and ruby walked out and behind them a puddle of metal liquid was where Gambol was. "I said to leave me there." She said as her semblance then raised the electric cord and was going to hit Blake with it, but she let out a small chuckle making Ruby pause and her semblance did the same. "What's so funny?"
Blake stopped chuckling and stood up. "I did what Yang asked. You're out of the room, right?" She said as ruby looked back and let out a sigh as she looked at her family and Blake. "And besides, I could have used Gambol Shroud to create stone clones and overwhelm you." Ruby looked at her before she closed her eyes.
"Yang, you have a lot of explaining to do." She said as she gave her half sister a light glare while her semblance faded away and the cord fell.
-At Patch-
Yang, Blake and Ruby were at a table in Tai's house. "So, in order, when I left to go try and help Remnant in the best way I can, I met someone who gave me the skills to actually do what you can." She got her scroll out and put it down in front of Ruby. "He found me when I was 14 and helped me unlock my semblance Ember Celica!" Then behind her a glowing woman appeared with fiery red hair similar to Yangs and 2 large gloves with holes in the back. "I won't go into too many details, but I've been getting messages from my friend who's been telling me about a threat to all of remnant. Salem." She said directly as Ruby and Blake tensed up at the name.
"That's not possible, Salem was defeated by a man named Ozpin over two decades ago." Ruby said as it was common knowledge. Yang tsked as she looked at her half-sister.
"Look, that's for the public to know and for us to discover." She said as she then skimmed to a few blurry pictures of a pale white woman with pure white hair looking at the side in front of the picture. "This was taken over a year ago, in somewhere in the grimmlands-"
"Old grimmlands. Yang if you remember correctly the grimm were wiped out by Ozpin as well after the fall of Salem." Ruby said as she then saw a map placed down on the table and Yang pointed at the area between Patch and the Grimmlands.
"Yes but, that doesn't mean it's safe." The blonde than pointed at the line she drew. "First, well go from here to mount Glenn, there we ca-" Then a hand was placed on the map making Yang pause and Blake to look up.
"Look Yang you can't just come here and get me to immediately believe that some old dead hag is still out there in an empty wasteland that you think I'll go to." Ruby said as she looked at Yang. "I have a life here in patch that I need to see through, getting dad a good place to live, and then enjoying the rest of it simply." She stated while she rolled it up and then handed it to Yang. "You take it and go with Blake; I'll stay here and go on whatever shenanigans you'll go on." Ruby then stood up and walked out of the room to head to school.
Once she was gone Yang slammed her hands onto the table. "Son of a bitch!" She yelled as Blake sat there trying to think of something about, they're situation. "Without Ruby's semblance we might not be strong enough alone to take care of Salem… Blake do you know anyone else who can help?" She asked as she tried thinking of anyone.
Then Blake got an idea. "There's always asking world champion Pyrrha Nikkos to help." She said, remembering the young athlete who had won multiple tournaments over her teen years. "She's the best normal fighter in remnant. She can help us beat her if she agrees." Yang let out a sigh as she remembered what Ozpin told her before he passed away.
"It took a small army of semblance users to take out Salem alone. If it's just us… then what chance do, we have…"
