Hello everyone. How are you all doing? I'm doing great. Well this is my new story and I hope you all like it.
Disclaimer: I don't nor will I ever own RWBY, those sole rights go to Rooster teeth. Now on with the show.
I was walking home from school one late afternoon. The day had been just like any other day, wake up at a ungodly hour to get to school. Go to all my classes and manage my club during lunch time. Then school would end and I would then proceed to take the same route home as I did walking to school. Only today was different.
As I was walking down the street I heard a scream. A scream that sounded like someone was in a lot of pain or someone who wanted to be heard. Now I was thinking 'how many times did I think up this scenario in my head for it to actually happen one day?' So I rush over and see what all the commotion was about. And I see a sight that utterly disgusts me. A man has a woman with a knife to her throat with his dick out. This appalled me, so me being the dumbass that I am, I charge the dude. Getting ready to shoulder tackle him to the ground. What I wasn't expecting though was for him to see me coming and proceed to elbow me in the chest dropping me like a sack of potatoes.
Thankfully the momentary distraction caused the girl to run away.
"You motherfucker. You just had to go and play hero didn't ya? Well now you get a knife in yer gut as payment."
What was running through my head at the point was not that he was going to stab me, but that my chest hurt. And that I was hungry. I did hear him say he was gonna stab me, but I wasn't concerned like most people would have been. Because I've been stabbed before. Don't get me wrong it hurt like hell and I don't want it to happen again, I just don't care like if someone hasn't been stabbed before.
"Man that hurt ya know? That's gonna bruise later for sure. Oh well, at least she got away."
At this point I just got to my knees when I fell a sudden pain in my chest. I look down and I see that the mans knife is sticking out of my chest.
"Oh, well that's not good." I spit out some blood onto the concrete floor.
"Sorry kid. But your time is up." The amount of pain I'm experiencing right now is astronomical. Then again I haven't had a knife sticking out of my chest before. Everything is fading to black, there's a lot of blood, and the last thing I see is his smug look on his face as he pulls the knife from my chest. And then I'm out.
I wake up with wind rushing past my face and a sense of falling. I open my eyes and I see the ground rushing towards me at a very fast pace. I see three people on the rooftop that I'm falling towards. My trenchcoat flapping in the wind behind me, the still fresh blood on my shirt. I also see two people on the rooftop that I'm heading towards. But that's not what's going through my mind right at that moment.
"SHIIIITTTT!" I make contact with the concrete roof with a very loud crack. I'm surprised that the roof didn't cave in at least. But I'm even more surprised that I'm not dead. Well I died once already how would I die again? I stood up because I didn't want to get my coat dirty. When I stood up all I felt was a little light headed. But other than that I was fine from my physics defying fall.
"What?'
I see Ruby with her giant scyther rifle out and Roman with his can gun. And they're both staring at me.
...
What the hell? Ruby and Roman? Why on earth is my heaven, or hell, the RWBY show? I know I like the show and all but I didn't realize that I like the show that much.
"Where am I? Do either of you know where the big man is? I need to talk to him about a special circumstance. I seemed to have died and gone to heaven, or hell, whichever it is."
They both stare at me like I just dropped a bomb on them
"Kid, you must have hit your head. Your not dead and who is the 'big man' that you're going on about?"
"Weird, Ruby hurry up and beat Roman. You wouldn't want to be late."
Well they seem confused. Just gonna let them finish their fight. As soon as I turn around a massive ship thing comes from behind the building. And now the fight between Goodwitch and Cinder is about to occur.
Ooh, look at all the pretty colors. All the red from Cinder and the purple from Goodwitch. Cinder's ability to control fire is really damn good. And there's the un mistakable sound of Crescent Rose. Cinder has just exploded the rubble.
"Next time Cinder, pick a fight that you know you can win. See you later Sweetheart." I get glares from both Cinder and Goodwitch. Fast forward to the point Goodwitch is lecturing us.
"And a slap on the wrist." She goes to slap both mine and Ruby's wrists. Ruby of course flinches but I've felt and seen worse. I don't even move, just giving her a smile. She gives me a narrowing glance.
"You're gonna have to do better than that sweetheart to make me flinch."
I definitely get a glare for that.
"But... there is someone here who would like to meet the both of you."
And Queue the wizard Ozpin
"Ruby Rose. You... have silver eyes." Well isn't he observant. I've seen this scene so many times it's not even funny. So I go to messing around on my phone. Weirdly enough I get reception here. I look up from my phone to see Goodwitch glaring at me. I just give her a shit eating grin and go back to my phone.
"And you. The mystery child who fell from the sky, who knows the name of both the criminal Roman Torchwhick, and the girl sitting next to you, Ruby Rose."
"Yep. I also know Goodwitch," I say looking at said Huntress. "I also know her older half sister, Yang Xiao Long, her father Taiyang Xiao Long, her Uncle Qrow, and many more people." To say they look surprised is an understatement. Well Ozpin still has a neutral look on his face.
"What I want to know is why I'm here in this interrogation room? I know I died and all but this is a little weird even for me."
"You died?"
"Yep. Why do you think I have blood all over my shirt. And..." I lift up my shirt to show them where the knife would have been. Smack dab right in the middle of my chest is scar that is the size of the blade of the knife. "I have a wicked cool scar from where I got stabbed."
"oh my god." Well if it's possible than Ruby went even paler than Goodwitch's shirt.
"Well. What would you like to do Mr..."
"Hmm, Call me... Ash Steele."
"I take it that's not your real name."
"Nope, nor will any of you learn it. Now back to you earlier question. What would I like to do? Well I would like to attend Beacon of course."
Goodwitch gives me hard stare.
"And what makes you think that we would let you into Beacon?" Ooh she's so sassy.
"Well, considering I knew her relatives, you and Ozpin before you even introduced yourselves. And the woman on the ship along with Roman. And me knowing a lot of the history of Remnant, I also have mild knowledge of weapons. Though I get the inkling that something is amiss here... Oh yeah, I don't have an Aura."
Ozpin gives a nod to Goodwitch and she walks over to me.
"Close your eyes and Focus." Yeah, Yeah, Yeah I know the whole spiel.
"For it is in passing that we achieve immortality, through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul, and by my shoulder, protect thee." As she finishes a dark glow appears around my body. Almost like it makes my skin black as well. It's so thick.
"Huh, that's a weird feeling. Well let's see, I love history and learning but I also love to read. I can read most people on what they are feeling and I've helped people figure out problem that they have had."
"Uh Ash? What are you doing?"
"I'm trying to figure out my Semblance little Red. Wait I have an Idea. Ruby may I touch your arm?"
"Okayyyyyy. This is getting weird but sure."
As I touch her arm I get a feeling of confusion and excitement. Probably from Ruby.
"Well I think I have an idea what my semblance is."
"And pray do tell. What do you think it is?"
"That I can learn from the person or object I touch. Ruby may I touch your Scythe."
"I don't know. I don't let anyone handle her."
"I'm asking to touch her, not hold her. She will still be in your hands." She seems hesitant before giving a slight nod. I gently lay my hand on her scythe and a flood of memories come rushing into my mind. How long it took her to forge Crescent, how long she has trained with it. How to maintain it and most importantly, how to wield it.
"Sweet, I just confirmed my theory. I can obtain memories from weapons to. I know everything about crescent rose and how to wield her."
"That's so cool!" Ahh the child like wonder of Ruby is so adorable.
"Well, with all this new information we have just been given. I extend a formal invitation to Beacon do-"
"Yes, you don't even need to ask me again."
With that Ruby offered for me to stay at her house until it was time to go to Beacon. Me having no where else to go, I humbly accepted. As we board the airship to Ruby's house she asks me "So where are you from?"
"Me? Well I guess you could say I came from the sky. But I wasn't kidding when I told you that I died. I actually don't know how I got here."
"How did you um, you know, die?"
Man I can tell that she's uncomfortable with this. "Well, I was walking home from school and I heard a scream. So I ran towards the sound and I saw a guy trying to rape a woman. I didn't like that so I helped her get away. He didn't like that so he stabbed me. And here we are."
I should hold back on that kind of stuff. She looks frightened. "Don't worry Rubes, that happened nowhere near here. Besides, I need your help to come up with a weapon." At the mention of a weapon she visibly perks up.
"I actually have a few ideas already."
"Not to seem mean at all, but I've had this idea in my head for awhile now. So lets work on that for now ok?" She seems little down but glad to talk about weapons.
For the next 6 weeks or so, in preparation for Beacon, Ruby and I worked on my weapon. We actually got it done the day before the day we were meant to leave for Beacon. It's called Steele's Descent. It is a high impact sniper rifle that uses fire and energy dust rounds. It switches into a one handed sword that can vibrate at a high molecular level, which means that it can slice through anything that I've tested on so far. I know the name is a bit narcissistic but I couldn't come up with anything else. And thankfully with my semblance I already now how to use it. Well at least a better understanding of both of the functions of Steele's Descent. I count myself to be very skilled with a rifle. And I've had a little sword practice.
Yang was as I expected her to be. Very Punny, flamboyant and protective of Ruby. Which I completely understand as her being her older sister. Though after awhile I grew to love her like a sister. She had my absolute respect along with Ruby. I was treated just like a Xiao Long and that was something I haven't felt in a long time. A family who loves me.
Taiyang was like any normal father. Protective of his girls and a loving father. He was so proud when he heard Ruby got accepted early and surprisingly welcomed me with open arms. Don't get me wrong, the man is much better than my own father and I am glad to know him. And then the day before it was our time to go to beacon, just as me and Ruby put the finishing touches on Steele's Descent and I went up into my room.
"Hey Ash, could you come into the living room real quick?"
"Be there in a second!" I was curious as to why he called me down but I didn't really mind. I wasn't doing much besides tinkering with my new scroll. As I came down stairs I saw Ruby, Yang and Taiyang sitting on the couch. Ruby looking really excited, Yang has that stupid grin on her face, and Taiyang, with a sort of content and proud look on his face.
"Now me and the girls have been thinking about this for awhile now and we wanted your input." He's being super vague about this and I'm not sure what to think.
"Well we wanted to ask you what you about being officially apart of the family?" Without even skipping a beat.
"Yes."
"Really? Just like that?"
"Yep, I have thought of you guys as my actual family then my real family. So I would be very happy about being able to call you my family."
And when I said that I got tackled hugged by a flying red Blur. I look down and I see Ruby giving me a hug I lay my hand on her and I'm flooded with emotions of happiness and relief. I give her a pat on her back and I get up.
"Geez Ruby give him a warning next time will ya? Looks like you gave him a heart attack." Yang also the light-hearted.
"Well then Ash Steele Xiao Long, welcome to the family." This might be one of the best days of my life.
We were on the Airship to Beacon and Yang was still excited over the idea that her baby sister was going to beacon with her. I may not be their biological brother but I felt more kinship with them than anyone from my world.
"Yang, she's gonna be fine. She is our sister after all."
"Yeah I know. I just don't want her to turn out like you." Oh shots fired
"Oi, there's nothing wrong with me. I'm am perfectly fine in my own mind. Thank you very much." She just rolls her eyes at my statement I walk off to stare at the view of Vale as we are heading to Beacon. I hear something about Torchwick and I'm pretty sure that's the news report about him robbing Dust stores. I must have lost track of time of time because we were already landing onto Beacon's courtyard. We got off and I see a familiar blonde run to a trash can. Poor Jaune. Anyways I see Yang run off with a bunch of her friends from Signal, and I see Ruby falling over into a pile of familiar white suitcases. I better get over there before she explodes.
"Uh, what are you doing?" and here we go.
"Uh...Sorry"
"Sorry? Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused?" Ruby hands her a suitcase and Weiss seems to get angrier.
"Gimme that. This Dust mined and purified from the Schnee Quarry." I give Ruby a hand up
"Princess shut up. You're give me a aneurism if you don't be silent."
"How dare you speak to me that way." I forgot how much of a bitch she is at first.
"Oh I dare. You're insulting my sister for something she didn't have control over. So get the stick out of your ass and get your servants to pick up your crap." I know she's gonna blow a gasket after that one.
"Do you even know who I am?!" I didn't know that the human face could get that red.
"Quite actually. Weiss Schnee. Heiress to the Schnee dust company, has a older sister named Winter, who doesn't have rights to the family company because of falling out with your father, feels like she is entitled to everything because of her status. Good singer, and is very knowledgeable about Dust, and can't stand stupidity. Did I miss anything?"
When I was done her mouth was slightly agape, then turned to a very flustered state and proceeded to storm off.
"I'm still amazed at how you can do that."
"Eh, it's normal for me at this point." I see Jaune approach at this point.
"Uh, what just happened?"
"I pissed off the princess." I said with no real care in how I said it.
"Ok then. My names Jaune short, sweet, rolls of the tongue, ladies love it."
""Do they?"" Wow that was kinda scary how in sync that was.
"They will. Well, I hope they will... I mean my mom always says, uh... never mind." Wow he really is as awkward as in the show.
"Guys I think we are supposed to go that way." I say as I'm pointing towards the main hall.
They nod and we head to where we are suppose to go.
As we got into the hall I spot Yang.
"Ash, Ruby over here, I saved you a spot!" Poor Jaune. All alone again. Wait, if I remember correctly Pyrrha is right behind us. Yep, there she is.
"Great, where am I supposed to find a nice quirky girl to talk to?"
I yell back to him. "Look behind you bro." I see both him and Pyrrha pinken up a bit as they make eye contact
We make our way over to Yang and she asks how Ruby's day went. She then proceeded to berate Yang for leaving her and for almost exploding if I wasn't there to help. Knowing what was gonna happen next I turned around.
"Oh look the princess is back." I face forward and ignore the coming tirade. But not before Ruby jumps into Yang's arms.
"Oh no not again!"
"You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff."
"Oh my god that actually happened."
After that point I zoned out until Weiss got in my face.
"And you, I demand a apology for what you said to me earlier!"
"Ash what did you say to her that she's this pissed off about?"
"I told her to shut up and that she's gonna give me a aneurism if she doesn't, also told her to get the stick out of her ass and leave Ruby alone. Also did my analyze thing on her."
"How many times have I told you not to do that to people? It freaks them out. Although it does sound Funny."
"Are you apologizing or not?!"
"Nope, sorry princess. Get the stick out of your butt and then we'll talk." Before she can say anything Ozpin shows up to give his little speech.
"Ahem... I'll keep this brief. You have all traveled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose-direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."
That was a lot more depressing in than I though It would be.
"Your are to gather in the ball room tonight. Tomorrow you Initiation will begin. Be ready. You are dismissed."
"Someone needs to get her laid."
All three of them look at me with exasperated looks. Than Yang bursts out laughing.
"Oh I know I taught you well."
"Not quite Yang. I was like this well before I met you guys."
"Wait, they're your sisters. Haven't you known them all your life."
"I thought you were smart? No, they're my adoptive sisters. As of yesterday actually. But I've known them for about two to three months now."
She seemed to contemplate this before Jaune showed up.
"I'm a natural blonde ya know." Oh my god he is such a dork.
It was nighttime and Yang and Ruby were having their girl talk. Of course I was off in the corner messing with my scroll. So to mess with Yang I sent her a message saying 'Don't let Dad catch you saying that.' From across the hall I heard a ping. She looked up and I gave her my patented shit eating grin.
*ping*
'How on Remnant did you here that from all the way over there?'
'I have my ways'
I was bored and I wanted to mess with somebody. So I stood up found my target and went in for the kill so to speak. I sat down next to her and worked my magic.
"Can I help you?"
"Nope, just wanted to strike up a conversation Blake Belladonna."
"I don't recall ever telling you my name."
"Nope you didn't. But I know a great many things about you Ms. Belladonna. Where shall I start? Oh yes... I know that you like to read and that you stick to the outer edges of most things because you don't want to be noticed."
"That's a very keen eye you got there." She says not looking up from her book.
"I also know what's under that bow of yours. And where you come from. But I'll let you decide when the cat's out of the bag so to speak." At this she grew very wide eyed. and extremely wary of me which is understandable.
"You have no need to fear me Blake. I'm not here to harm you because of where you come from and what's under that bow. And No, they didn't send me either. But I'll leave you with that Ms. Belladonna. Good luck in all your future endeavors."
I go back to my bedroll and get out my scroll and send a message to Yang
'Man I love screwing with people's heads. Also turn your scroll to vibrate.'
'What did you do now?'
'I got bored so I analyzed someone.'
'I'm serious when I tell you, that you need to stop doing that. It's not good for you making friends.'
'Meh, I take the good with the bad. Night Sis.'
'What am I gonna do with you. goodnight Ash'
Alright, today's the day. Initiation is starting soon and I'm honestly excited. Although most people I know don't wake up at 6 am but I can't calm myself. I'm gonna be kicking some Grimm butt today. Hopefully I don't get partnered with a complete asshole, although I wouldn't mind pairing with Cardin just so I can make sure he leaves people alone. Either way today's gonna be fun.
"For years you have trained to become warriors, and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."
"Now I'm sure many of have heard rumors about the assignment of teams, well allow us to put and end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates... today" Poor Ruby, she is not happy right now.
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of the time here at Beacon, so it is in your best interest to work with someone you can work well with. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with will be your partner for the next 4 years."
"What?!" Didn't realize how loud that was
"After you've partnered up make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not be hesitant to destroy everything in your path, or you will die."
"You will be monitored and graded for the duration of the initiation. But our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose 1, then return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grad you appropriately. Now, are there any questions?"
"Um yeah sir-?"
"Good, now take your positions."
Alright. Time to psyche myself up for this. Flying has to be fun right? Can't be too hard. So let's goOOOOOOOOOOOO!
"SHITTTTTTT!" fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Alright focus. Oh crap that's a tree. I got out Steele's Descent in its blade form and activated the molecular blade. I cut through the tree no problem but I was not expecting the tree right after that one, and I crashed through it. Ow that hurt. I landed with a surprisingly soft thud. And then I started heading in the direction of the temple.
I'm surprised I haven't seen any Grimm yet, I thought this was a Grimm infested forest.
"At least I'm not pretending like I know everything."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"It means you're a big stupid jerk and I hate you."
"Ugh, just keep moving."
"Geez you guys are arguing like an old married couple. I could the both of you from across the chasm."
"Ash!"
"Yes Ruby it's me. And hello to you princess."
"Stop calling me princess!"
"Than stop acting liken you're entitled. Now what were you two arguing about?"
"Weiss doesn't know where the temple is and she's being super bossy!"
"I am not bossy. Don't say things like that!"
"Stop treating me like a kid!"
"Stop acting like a kid!"
"ENOUGH!" God I'm gonna get a headache from this. I look up from pinching the bridge of my noes and I see that both Ruby and Weiss jumped at my out burst. "You are both acting like children. Getting into a petty argument over whether or not your going the right way. Now, before you children continue to argue any more, we have a temple to go to. So lets move along now."
"I hate it when he does that." I perk my ears up and wait and see where she's going with this.
"Hate what?"
"When he goes into big brother mode like that. He's done it to both me and Yang twice now. This being the second time, it just makes me fell disappointed." Huh, at least I still got it.
"You are a confusing family."
"Get used to it Princess, cause you're apart of it now."
"I said to stop calling me that!" She still hasn't gotten it yet.
"I'm not repeating myself Princess. Let's go." Alright let's see which way was the temple?
"Ruby! I told you this was a terrible idea!"
"We're fine! Stop worrying!"
"I'm so far beyond worrying!"
"In a good way?!"
"In a bad way! In a very bad way!"
"Why don't you just jump?!"
"What are you, insane?!"
"I KNOW I AM! WHOOOOOO" I'm riding on top of the nevermore. Never thought I do that. They both look up at me like I actually am crazy.
"SEE YOU LADIES ON THE FLIP SIDE! YAHOOOO!" And I jump off. I see that a Red cloak is following in my falling plan.
I hit the ground hard, but I use my Aura to cushion the fall so that it doesn't hurt too much. I look up to see Yang and Blake staring at me with there mouths open.
"Heads up!" Oh I forgot about this part. I see Ruby falling towards us face first. Then a Jaune comes into view and smacks into Ruby sending them flying into the trees. I wince at the velocity that Jaune hit Ruby.
"Ooh, that's gonna hurt in the morning."
"Did your siblings fall from the sky?"
"Really I jumped off a nevermore, and Ruby kinda lost her grip. I think Weiss is still up there though."
My adoptive sister just face palms. We hear a commotion and look to our left and see Nora riding in on a Ursa. She then proceeds to run over here and pick up a white castle. Singing 'I'm queen of the castle~'
"Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?"
"I-"
Before she can even say anything Pyrrha comes running into the clearing with a deathstalker on her tail. Oh boy this has turned into quite the party.
Ruby jumps down from her tree and tucks into a roll.
"Ruby?"
"Yang!"
Before they can get into a hug Nora jumps in between them.
"Nora!"
"Well would you look at that. Another one to add to the merry band of misfits."
"GRRRR. I can't take it anymore! Can everyone chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again?!"
I could almost here the timer go off in my head.
"Yang look up."
I could see the faintest white dot overhead.
"How could you leave me!?"
"I said 'jump'..."
"She's gonna fall."
"She'll be fine."
"She's falling."
As if on cue Jaune jumps out of the tree and catches her. But ends up having her land on his back as they hit the ground. I can't help myself. I burst out laughing at the situation. It's a lot funnier right now than it was in the show. I just get a bunch of glares from everybody but Nora.
I give them a grin but don't have time to say a witty remark as the one and only Pyrrha Nikos comes flying in my direction and hits me.
"Karma's a bitch."
"Great now the gang's all here. Now we can die together."
The next few moments had me honestly the most scared for another person's life than I have ever been ever since my sister died. It was in slow motion when I saw that deathstalker's stinger comedown on Ruby. But thankfully Weiss and her glyphs she got there in time and froze the deathstalker. I collapsed on knees tears in my eyes thanking any god out there for giving me this new chance. As I get over to Ruby Yang is already done hugging her.
I stare at her for a couple seconds. I think she thinks I'm gonna yell at her. I just pick her up in a hug, and say
"Don't ever do the suicidal stuff again, that's my job." I then whisper so that only she can hear. "I can't lose another baby sister."
The look on her face was surely that of shock and sadness. Before she can say anything though.
"Come on. We need to get those relics and become hunters and huntress'."
"Guys, that things circling back. What are we gonna do?"
"Look there's no point dilly dallying, our objective is right in front of us."
"She's right, our mission is to grab an artifact and make it back to the cliffs. There's now point in fighting these things."
"Speak for yourselves, I enjoy a good fight." I get glares from everybody. "What? Was it something I said?"
Ignoring my comment the group continues.
"Run and live. That is an idea I can get behind."
Both Jaune and Ruby grab their respective relics. I walk over an look to see what I should grab. I lay my eyes on my prize and I grab it.
"Why did you grab the pawn?"
"Because, get the pawn to the end of the board, and he can be whatever he wants to be." She seemed to contemplate what I meant and seemed to understand it.
"Oh and Weiss? Thanks for saving Ruby."
"Well she should be more careful in the future." And she's back.
We run to the cliff side with the Deathstalker in tow and the Nevermore following us. We get to the pillars and Nora distracted the giant bird Grimm with her grenade launcher hammer thing. We run towards the bridge and we're halfway across when the Nevermore rams into the bridge separating Blake, Pyrrha, and Ren from the rest of the group. Before I realize it. I'm on the Nevermore again, more specifically my arm in it's mouth. I wrench my arm out of it's mouth and climb onto it's back before I know it I see Blake running down it's back passing me. I'm pretty sure that she tells the girls what I'm doing right now. It's not like I can help that.
Before I know it the giant bird is circling around and heading straight for the tower, which the girls are on. And now they are shooting the damn thing with me still on it. I stab Steele's Descent into the back of the Nevermore to prepare for the collision with the tower. I some how manage to stay on for reasons I don't understand. It circles around again and Yang is firing Ember Celica shot's at it. It dives towards her but only end up catching her in it's mouth. Where she repeatedly punches it some more. I notice it's heading towards the cliff and I see the fleeting form of my adoptive sister's blonde hair.
It slams into the cliff side and lands perfectly on its claws. I take the chance to jump of but not before I do some damage of my own. I bring down my blade hard while activating the molecular blade tearing through it's thick feathers and cutting into its hide. I jump off and wait for the rest of the gang to put the finishing touches on dealing with giant bird. Weiss freezes the tail to the ground, jumps back and prepares her glyph. Yang and Blake use the ribbon from Gamble shroud and they proceed to fling Ruby towards the Nevermore
When Ruby hit's the cliff she traps the neck of the giant bird with her scythe and then runs up the cliff with the help of Weiss' glyphs thus decapitating it. I look back and I no longer see the deathstalker and I see that everyone else is fine.
"That's our sister Yang."
"Yes it is Ash, yes it is."
And done. Holy crap this took awhile. Well I hope you guys enjoyed and I will see you all later PEACE!
