An Avatar: The Last Airbender AU RWBY Story

Extinguished

Summary: A Hundred Years have passed, and no airbender has been found alive. One Unfortunate night, the entire nomad clan had been extinguished like a burning flame. However, this was soon to change when Ruby Rose, an orphan, walked inside the Fire Nation. What secrets are hidden inside the Nation? Why have all benders started to die?

Chapter 1: The Prologue-Wind Breeze

Somewhere in a small village only few knew, lived a young girl by the name of Ruby. No surname, no family, she lived alone with her corgi, Zwei. The two worked as wood-cutters, thus earning enough money to survive the day. Everything was normal in their daily life.

One day however, one that seemed like any other, the girl was going to find that her life wasn't so simple.

"Come on, Zwei." Ruby called to the adorable corgi. Zwei barked and followed her. The orphan picked up a dirty bag from the ground. Used to the weight of the cut woods, she and the corgi got out of the house. "If we are lucky, we may just meet Ren today."

Another bark was Zwei's reply.

Walking through the dirty path that led to the center of the village, Ruby took the time to enjoy the scent of nature. It wasn't much, especially when mixed with the dirt's smell, but it was still what kept her going. The smell of Life...

Her favorite scent was that of Roses. She loved red roses, even going as far as to surround her small cottage with them. In the village, she would try to sell the wood she had cut, and later buy food for herself and Zwei. In the marketplace, she sometimes met Ren, another orphan of the village. He worked as a butcher, Ruby had heard.

"Bark," Zwei growled as soon as they entered the marketplace.

"What is it, boy?" Ruby questioned, patting Zwei's head. The corgi didn't bark again, so Ruby let it go. "Let's find a good place." she added, already looking around the marketplace. It was strangely empty. "Where is everyone?"

"It may be just too early for the others." a boy said from behind her. Ruby smiled and turned to greet the boy.

"Hi Ren!" she said, giving him a quick hug. "I always come here at this same hour, but it never is this empty."

Ren's eyes narrowed. "Better for us." he later said. "We can take the best places."

"Yeah!" Ruby nodded happily, but Zwei barked angrily. "What is wrong, boy?"

Ruby set her bag on a wooden stand, bowing down to pet Zwei again. The corgi was behaving strangely.

A few minutes later, people started to gather around the marketplace, fewer than usual.

"Hello young lady," a man called. The usual routine had finally started.

Afternoon had arrived, most of the wood had been sold. A few more hours and she and Zwei could go get dinner and return home. Ren had left a few minutes ago, a co-worker having called him.

Zwei barked again.

Ruby's eyes widened as her ears picked up the sound of heavy running. She moved from her stand and went to see what was wrong. In the distance, dust had coated the sight. She could only see faded black and red shapes moving towards them.

Zwei barked loudly, this time continuing.

"Sshh, boy." Ruby said, returning to her stand and taking cover. "Ssh."

"Bark! Bark!"

"Zwei!"

"Get them all!" the faint order was picked up by her ears. Her heart started to beat faster. "Leave no one!"

The heavy steps became louder.

"I found a kid here!" a man called, and Ruby's heart stopped when she realized what he meant.

"Zwei, run!" Ruby shouted, storming to her feet and running in unknown direction. Zwei barked and quickly followed.

"Come back here!" the man yelled, but Ruby was already gone. The orphan was a natural runner, surpassing everyone in the village in terms of speed. "After her!" the man called to his henchmen, who were soon to oblige.

Ruby continued to run through the woods, the trees hiding her figure from her chasers. "Zwei, are you okay?" Ruby asked her dog, stopping and leaning on a tree to rest.

"Bark!" Zwei replied, resting in Ruby's lap. "Bark! Bark!"

"Shh. They may find u-" Ruby whispered, but was caught off by a strong wind blowing. Looking back with wide eyes, Ruby saw a giant flame coming her way. "Duck!" she yelled to herself, covering Zwei with her body. 'The Fire Nation?!'

"Don't let the kid escape!" a man called from behind her. With Zwei on her hands, Ruby started to run again.

In truth she was tired and so was Zwei, but she would keep running no matter for how long.

Unfortunately, her run came to dead end. A cliff end to be more exact.

"Catch her!" she heard the command again. Turning to look at her chasers in panic, Ruby tightened her hold on Zwei. The small corgi whined.

One of her followers rose his leg to kick the air, a ball of flame bursting from the contact place. Ruby ducked under it, still feeling the heat above her head. The rest of the men, those carrying weapons lunged at her. Ruby rose her hands defensively, helpless in this situation.

"Stop!" she pleaded as a punch connected with her abdomen. A kick met her chin. "... Stop!" another punch sent her flat on the ground. "Please..." Zwei started to lick her face, trying to be of any little help.

Ruby's entire body was hurting, and she wanted to cry. "Stop!" she yelled with all the power she had left.

As if the wind had obeyed her voice, a burst of air sent the attackers flying in the air. Some even fell down the cliff, but an invisible air blade caught them. Ruby's hands moved like one would when swinging a scythe and the men where launched into the ground. Ruby's usual cheerful silver eyes were now empty.

The firebenders started their elemental attacks. Ruby swirled the invisible scythe, more air gathering around the weapon, extinguishing the flames.

Ruby stopped the swirls only when the wind had formed the perfect shape of a giant scythe. Swinging it at the rest of the firebenders, Ruby sent them all flying towards the woods. The power behind the impact made all of them to pass out cold.

The scythe started to dissipate again, and Ruby slowly dropped to the ground.

Zwei barked and went to her side. She was out cold, just like the firebenders. Zwei barked again, feeling more footsteps coming.

A/N: This is just a try-out people. For those who have read my other stories, they must be aware that Ghost of Winter is my main priority. However, if people actually like this prologue and want another chapter, I think I can find the time to type it too.

Also, what ship would you like in this?
