(No one's point of view)
The Vytal festival was a ceremony to the people of Remnant to show unity. However, it was not always for that purpose. The original purpose was for the hunters and huntresses that fought the grimm and brought humanity to where it is now. There were many notable ones such as the First Hunter Mounty Oum, the unbreakable Saint-14, the hunter known only as Tuxedo Mask, and many more. However, there was one that thought the First hunter, made Saint-14 the unbreakable, and lead the hunters and huntresses against the grimm but was ultimately betrayed by her comrades and was "killed" and erased from the history of Remnant and only was her name spoken in hushed whispers and of myths to scare kids to behave. The festival was now approaching its 500 year anniversary of when world peace was accomplished and when the one known as Ruby Rose disappeared.
Ruby hummed to herself as she read the weapons magazine while listening to music. She was already happy with her weapons and had been for years now. she flt someone approaching her and she pulled off her headphones, put back the magazine and turned to the mn that was approaching her now noticing the sword in his hands.
"Hands up kid, this is a robbery. " The man said while pointing the sword at him and moving to grab her stuff. Ruby grinned and used her semblance to speed up her attack and kicked the man against the opposite wall. Ruby started to walk towards him when another man turned down the aisle and charged her only for hr to kick him out of the window and for Ruby to go with him. Ruby reached down to her side and turned off her music and draw one of her weapons. The weapon she drew was a collapsible baton that with of a push of a button would have the end electrify. She swung it around tauntingly before gesturing for them to come at her. The 4 remaining men rushed out of the store while the boss walked out and watched the chaos that was starting to form. Ruby used her semblance to appear in front of the boss and took his cigar before smacking him with the baton knocking him out cold causing the men he had hired to panic and run only to be meet with a similar fate as their boss. She looked them over before taking the bosses cigars and then tied them all up and turned to leave when she noticed the figures who had just arrived walking towards her. She know who both of them were but they had no clue who she was.
"That was quite impressive Miss?"The one she identified as Professor Ozpin and the headmaster at Beacon Academy. The woman that was with him walked pass her and used her semblance to carry the robbers into the police van that had just arrived. She than walked over to the man and stood behind him at the ready.
"I have many names but you may call me Red." Ruby replied as she studied the two professors and decide that they were not a threat and lowered her guard.
"Well than Red, where did you learn to do that?" Ozpin asked while gesturing to the unconscious criminals that were now being transported to the police station. He had seen a lot of potential in his life but none as good as hers based on what he saw from her fighting with a non lethal weapon that was never used by hunters due to lack of ability to stop the enemies they faced.
"I studied over the years with some family members of mine." was what Ruby replied to his question before asking her own question. "Why are you here Professor Ozpin?"
"Straight to the point I see, I would like to offer you a position in my school." Ozpin stated bluntly as he opened the door to the car he had arrived in. "If you wish to join, all you must do is enter the car and we will take you there." Ozpin felt the air ruh by him as he no longer saw Ruby where she was but guessed that she was in the car waiting. He glanced in the car as he closed the door and stopped when he locked eyes with the young girl. In the eyes, all he felt was pain, darkness, and the desire to have something that brought meaning to life. He had seen this before in a former friend of his before he jumped of a bridge while his aura was out. He shivered and began to wonder why the girl looked familiar to him but he could not place where he had seen her before. He closed the door all the way before turning to Professor Goodwitch and awaiting what she had to say.
"Sir, are you sure you want her in Beacon, we don't even know her real name." Goodwith stated as she started to walk to the other side of the car and got ready to get in the passenger side of the car.
"This is my decision to make and my price to pay if I am wrong." Ozpin replied whiling entering the car and signaling the driver to start driving to the airfield.
Ruby looked around the airship as she moved towards the window to check the view. She recognized some of the people on board the airship, but most were blank face to her, those whose potential had not come to her interest. She stopped and looked out the window at Signal Academy and Vale. A lot had changed over the years since when it was first constructed by Mounty and his band of people. She had watched the city get built and due to her semblance, she would more than likely live to see the end of the city. She looked over at Glynda's hologram as she told the students what to do and where to go when they landed. She started to walk to the exit when she saw somebody throwing up on a blonde's shoes. She sighed as she went over to stop the girl from killing the guy who had just recovered from puking out his breakfast."
"What is your problem Vomit Boy!" Ruby heard the girl yell at the boy who looked greener than a piece of spinach. "You just ruined my shoes and you haven't even apologised." The girl was getting madder and madder by the second. The boy let out a moan before covering his mouth to try to hold back the vomit that was about to come out of his mouth. Ruby quickly moved forward and pulled the girl back to move her out of the way of the incoming vomit as the boy let loose even more vomit. Ruby reached into her pouch and pulled out a bottle of ginger tablets. she handed him one as he looked up to see the second girl.
"What will this do?" The boy asked while holding the tablet in his hand.
"It helps with motion sickness." Ruby replied as she put away the bottle. The boy looked at the pros and cons of it and decided to take the ginger.
"Thanks. How long will it take to affect me?" The boy asked while grabbing on to the rail to steady himself now that he was not puking every thirty seconds.
"It could take a couple of minutes to half an hour to take effect but it will make you feel better." Ruby stated as she turned to address the blonde girl behind her. "I am sorry about my friend here, he gets very bad cases of motion sickness.
"He owes me a new pair of shoes to replace the ones he just ruined." The blonde girl continued to glare at the boy who sheepishly smiled. She turned back to Ruby, "Well?"
"Well what?" Ruby questioned back as she realized that the girl wanted her to address the issue that happened to her shoes. She sighed before handing her money to use on a new pair of shoes. "Anything else your highness?"
"No, I am good however, keep your friend away from me." The blonde girl said while walking away. She sighed and turned to the blonde boy.
"Thanks for helping me out there, I promise I will pay you back as soon as I can. My name is Jaune, Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls of the tongue, ladies love it." The blonde boy now identified as Jaune stated while putting his hand out to shake Ruby's hand.
"The name is Ruby Rose. You better pay me back after that incident." Ruby remarked as she shook his hand. She looked him over more carefully now. He was dressed in a pair of simple jeans and a black hoodie. She also noticed the sword on his side, Crocea Mors, a weapon that she had not seen since Julius Arc lead his armies against the grimm to expand to Mountain Glenn. This was going to be an interesting year at this rate.
And there is chapter 1. This was a bit of a challenge to write, however, It was also fun to write a new chapter and a in a way new story. Hope you all enjoy, next chapter will be up sometime in the next week or two due to school. Well good night one and all. ~Tuxedo Mask Forever signing off~
