Hello good people, UltimateMetroMan here with this story. It is not mine but I adopted it from the last owner OldHoxton. I got in contact to see if I could take over and he let me with one condition. He says he is sorry for leaving the story how it was but he is in a battle with depression so I take this time to wish him luck. He let me do some changes so the story might be a little bit different. I own nothing. The story belongs to OldHoxton and RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth,

Chapter 1: One hell of a day

"RIIIIING RIIIIIIING RIIIIIING" I heard the alarm go at my room.

"Goddamnit why me!?" I mentally screamed as I got up from bed. I hated getting up this early, but I had been forced to do it to a point that even though I really got annoyed I couldn't stay longer in bed. I went to get ready to head down the stairs. I finished and grabbed my jacket (outfit is the same of infamous second son with the angel of death Jacket and without the beanie). I ran downstairs and saw my mother making some eggs.

"Hey mom" I said as I walked over to get a glass of water and sat down to eat. It was nice to visit my mother as I studied at Signal Academy and I did rarely come over as we lived on the outskirts of Vale. My dad well... He was on a mission again, don't get me wrong that's amazing him being a huntsman of course. But I rarely did see him and when I did he was more of a mentor than a dad and I was more a student than a son to him. He taught me most of what I know of combat as he always said. "Jack... The teachers at Signal have to teach a class. Here I am teaching you how to master the sword play. Very few teachers would take their time to teach you all I've taught you."

"So how's Signal son?" My mother asked taking me out of my thoughts. My mother unlike my dad worked at a small flower shop she set close home. She is well amazing to say the least. The person who I trust to tell anything. She was caring and always there if I needed help even though she wasn't a fighter like me and my dad.

"Well this is my last year at Signal and I think I might get accepted at Beacon if I keep this up" I said as I chowed down the eggs.

"That's wonderful Jack. Your father studied at Beacon when he was a huntsman in training. I am sure he is very proud of what you have done." She said smiling.

"Well thanks mom" I said finishing my eggs. "Hey I have to go get some pieces I need to finish a the project I told you about. So after helping you in the store I'll go out to get them."

"I see..." She said not approving that very much. "Be careful, I know you have been working on that for months now but be sure to test it before anything serious happens. I don't know what I would do if something happened to you."

"Yes mom I will" I said a little annoyed. I knew she was worried about me after what happened to my brother Rodrick 6 years ago when I was only 10. He was following my fathers footsteps as I am now. He was promising being the best in his class. My father and mother were so proud of him. It all seemed to be going well until that fateful day. You see he was quiet the explorer going to the woods and just passing his free time day. My parents got a call saying my brother was in the hospital in critical state. My parents and I rushed to the hospital. Once we got there my parents asked to see him. They told my parents he was in emergencies. We ran in and looked for him. When we got there and saw him it was horrible and it still haunts me to this day. He was beaten and had deep gashes all over his body. His face deformed to bloody pulp. My mother couldn't hold his tears and started crying at the sight with my father grabbing her so she wouldn't fall down. The doctors tried all they could but sadly he passed away hours later from his wounds. I later when I told my parents I wanted to be a huntsman that they told me he was in the forest and got overrun by Grimm. A teacher came to the rescue but it was sadly too late. My mother opposed at the idea but my father after weeks of talking with her convinced her otherwise. I remember the funeral and everything that followed. I remember hearing my mother crying at night for the weeks to come. My father becoming harsh in his training of me probably not wanting the same thing to happen to me. Life in family even if they didn't admit it changed and it never was the same.

"Hey mom I am ready. Just tell me what you need and I'll help" I said trying to brighten the mood up.

"Thanks Jack" she said smiling.

Hours later

I finished cleaning around the store. It was night-time and I decided to go get the pieces I needed.

"Mom I finished. I will got get the pieces I needed!" I said as I rushed to the house. I grabbed my wallet scroll and my two swords which were retractable. On the cross guard having a small shotgun barrel popping out of it. I called them Judge and Jury, pretty dramatic if you ask me. I walked out and took the bus to Vale.

At Vale

I arrived at the center of Vale and ran as fast as I could before they closed the store. I arrived just in time. Walked in and bought the pieces I needed and walked out of the store. I walked through the streets on my way to the bus stop when I saw someone flying out of the store up front. Who I saw surprised me. She was a girl with a scythe, it looked even bigger than her.

"Okayyy.." said the man who looked like the leader said looking at the girl. "Get her!" he ordered and 4 armed men ran towards her. I couldn't just stand here so I threw my bag at one the men.

"Hey leave her alone!"I said angry as I took my swords out and got into a battle stance.

"Another kid?" The leader said frustrated. "You 2 get him!" I saw 2 of the henchmen running at me. At least it would be easier for the girl now. The first man swung his blade up top. I blocked it and kicked him in the leg to make him lose balance. I hit him hard in the face with my elbow. The other man attacked I rolled out-of-the-way making him hit his friend knocking him out. I slashed at his legs making him fly upwards. Once he made contact with the ground I punched him right across the jaw knocking him out.

'Easier than I thought it would be' I thought as I looked at the girl who had already taken care of the henchmen.

"You were worth every cent. Truly, you were." He said as the he looked at the girl. "Well, Red, I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around...I'm afraid this is where we part ways." As soon as he said that I saw him shoot a projectile from his cane.

"Watch out!" I said as I ran towards her. I barely got my blade to block it but the blast pushed me backwards. I hit my head against the floor and got a little dizzy. I looked at a building nearby and saw the man climbing up a ladder with the girl following closely. I ran to the stairs and got up there a little after them.

"Hey you!" I said to the man as he boarded a bullhorn.

"End of the line for both of you!" He said as he shot another projectile against our feet.

"You got to be kidding me!" I said as I planted my swords on the ground to get a little protection. But a woman appeared out of no where and protected us from the blast and attacked the ship but sadly it got away. I turned to see her.

'She is a huntress no doubt' I thought to myself as I looked at her. I turned to look at the girl who was in complete awe.

"You're a Huntress! Can I have your autograph?!" She said extremely excited. I just face palmed at her excitement.

Sometime later

I knew we were in trouble. This woman took us to who knows where and we were sitting in a room with her watching a tablet.

"Hey what's your name" I whispered to the girl next to me.

"Ruby Rose" She whispered back. "What's your name?" She asked back.

"Jack Ryder" I said, but before we could continue talking the woman spoke up.

" I hope that you both realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly, Both of you. You both put yourselves and others in great danger." She said disapproving our actions.

"They started it!" Ruby said trying to explain herself.

"Well they were robbing a store and we did the right thing didn't we?" I added trying to save our necks. 'I am so dead if my parents hear of this' I thought to myself.

"If it were up to me, you'd both be sent home... With a pat on the back..."She said making Ruby smile. 'It can't be this easy' I thought to myself. "And a slap on the wrist." she said as she slammed her wand against the table giving Ruby barely enough time to move her hand out-of-the-way. 'I knew it!' I thought as things never get solved this easy. "But..." She said peaking my interest. "There is someone here who would like to meet you both."

A middle-aged man with gray hair and glasses walked in with 2 mugs and a plate with cookies.

"Ruby Rose.." He says looking at her closely. "You... have silver eyes." He spoke up.

'That's something odd to say' I thought. Why would he start a conversation like that of all ways?

"Uh, um..." Ruby said clearly confused and I really didn't blamed her.

"So... Where did you learn to do this?" He asked showing us the tablet which was playing the fight we were in earlier.

"S-Signal Academy." She said timidly. 'Wait wait. She goes to Signal!?' I thought surprised. 'How the hell haven't I seen her before!?'

"They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" He asked probably knowing the answer. 'That's true. If what my dad told me is true there are damn few scythe users.'

"Well, one teacher in particular." She said.

"I see" he said as he put down the plate of cookies down. Ruby picked one up and took a bite. I was going to take one but I saw her taking all of them.

"Oh sorry. Do you want one?" She asks trying to give me one.

"Nah don't worry. I am okay" I said smiling. She nods and finishes the cookies.

"It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before. A dusty, old crow..." The man said like if he knew the answer to the question.

Ruby spoke up but I couldn't understand as she was still eating. She swallowed it and spoke up again. "Sorry. That's my Uncle Qrow! He's a teacher at Signal. I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing. And now, I'm all like— Hooowaaah! Witchaaaa!" She said as she made ninja noises and moves. I just looked downwards. 'She is energetic I'll give her that.' I thought.

"So I've noticed." He said calmly. "And what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?" He asked.

"Well... I want to be a Huntress." She said explaining herself. The man turned to me and look at me closely.

"Jack Ryder..." He said looking at the tablet again.

"Tell me... Why do you want to become a huntsman?" He asked.

"I want to help others in every way I can" I said sternly. The man turns to the woman and speaks up.

" Do you know who I am?" He asks. I search deep in my mind who was this man as I felt I saw him somewhere before, then I remembered.

"You're professor Ozpin. Headmaster of Beacon academy" I said. How couldn't I notice before!?

"Would you two like to attend to my school?" He asks. I almost didn't believe what I heard. I was so excited.

"More than anything" Ruby says.

"Yes... Yes sir!" I said excited probably sounding like Ruby which earned a laugh from her.

"Well then it is settled" he said. I couldn't believe what just happened. I am attending Beacon earlier!

And well there it ends the first chapter. I added something I thought necessary. Liked it? Hated it? Tell me about it. I welcome all reviews! UltimateMetroMan out!
