Here is my own RWBY x Gurren Lagann fic! I wanted to do a crossover of my two favorite animes, so I hope you enjoy!
This is the story of a girl who has yet to realize her destiny, and struggles to find her own path.
The air was stiff and the heat from the sun made the surface unbearable to even walk on. However, Ruby Rose the treasure hunter was never discouraged, even in the most drastic of scenarios. She dug all day, and sometimes all night, hoping to one day uncover something that would change her life for the better.
The days are always the same...long hours of drilling, no treasure to be found... The young treasure hunter thought to herself as she sighed,
As she descended further into what seemed like her one billionth hole in this god forsaken ground, sweat slowly dripped from her forehead, gently falling onto the dry and barren sand of the surface. Her drill slowly turned away all of the lifeless land, as a voice emerged from behind her,
"Ruby! It's been hours! Take a break!" the voice called out from behind young Ruby. She left her drill in the hole she had made as she turned around to face the source of the voice,
The girl removed her goggles from her head, "Yang I'm fine! A few more hours won't kill me!" Ruby responded to the blonde haired girl,
"That's what you said 4 hours ago! You've been at this since sunrise! Take a break! I made us dinner!" She smiled as she pointed to their campsite, which consisted of two sleeping bags located inside a shady cave and a campfire just outside it, their dinner in question hanging above the fire.
Ruby sighed and looked at her sister and then glancing back at her drill's resting place, "Fine! But I'm back to drilling as soon as I'm done eating!" she replied to the blonde,
"You've been drilling nonstop for almost 2 whole days! If you don't get some sleep after dinner, I'll belt you!" Yang spat at her, being stern for once.
Never having seen this side of Yang before, the young digger nodded somewhat nervously, but knew that her sis would never lead her astray. The blonde's expression of sternness turned into a gentle smile, as the pair began walking back to their campsite, the sun slowly setting in the distance,
The girls sat on opposite ends of the campfire as Yang served them their food, as ruby took her serving, the sisters watched the sun set slowly as they ate, in awe as the stars and the moon slowly arise from beneath the horizon.
"Hey Yang?" Ruby turned to her sister,
"Yeah Ruby?"
"You remember that old legend? Of the boy who was born a digger, and with the help of a man made of metal, ending up saving the universe..?"
"Yeah..why?" Yang asked her in exchange,
"I want to grow up to be just like that boy in the story!" she declared as a smile gleamed on her face, which caused her sister to chuckle as she got up and sat down next to Ruby, wrapping an arm around her,
"Listen up Ruby, don't believe in yourself, believe in me! Believe in the Yang the believes in you!" She said gently as she raised her free arm straight up and pointed to the starry heavens up above. Ruby looked up to where her sister was pointing as she continued, "Your drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!" Yang exclaimed energetically, causing Ruby to smile.
"T-thanks... sis."
"Of course Ruby! After all, you and I, are Team Rozu, remember?" her little sister nodded in response, "Now come on, let's get some rest."
"Sure thing sis!" she replied as the two headed off towards their respective sleeping bags and laying down to sleep, Ruby getting once last glimpse of the starry heavens before slowly drifting off to sleep.
Explosions riddled the space around them, stars going supernova with
the sheer power being hurled around. The bridge was alive with chatter
between the command staff as they were rushing to provide status updates
to the Captain.
The Captain herself stood upon the top of her beloved ship, her
crimson-tipped black hair tinged with green and orange from the guns of
the ship and cannons. She scoffed.
So...all the lights in the heavens are our enemies." She rubbed her
chin, her cape- embroidered with her symbol, a stylized rose, trailing
behind her as she watched the explosions. Her aide, a white haired girl adorned in the standard regulation uniform, muttered out a little 'No...', as if
disbelieving what had happened, what had lead up to this point.
The Captain didn't notice, and went on. "They are worthy opponents."
She whipped out a small key, embossed with the rose symbol, looking at
it. She smiled- at last, a worthy challenge.
"...I'll just use the fabric of space time to wring them out of
existence!" Sliding her cape behind her she moved underneath the flag of
her team, a rose rising from a flame. She looked upon the battle, giddy
with the prospect of challenge. Her aide looked to the rest of the
bridge below.
"Alright, prepare the Celica Cannon!"
The Captain, Ruby, crossed her arms. "Crescent Rose, spin on!"
She declared her ultimatum to the stars with confidence. "Who the HELL
do you think I am?!"
