Chapter 1

It was a quiet night in the city of Vale, with many couples out for a evening stroll. Despite this there was an evil presence in the air. Down the street barging his way down the street was a strange orange haired man dressed in a white jacket and with a black bowler hat, was humming to himself while spinning his cane absent mindedly.

He was closely followed by a menacing group of men who were armed with an array of weapons. Despite this extreme show of force the boy watching from the rooftop was not impressed. This boy was Angelo Nariko, one of the strongest people in Signal. Seeing how this was going to turn out the boy readied himself when something caught his eye. This thing was, a small blotch of red he could see through the window of From Dusk till Dawn. On closer inspection Angelo could this red blob was in fact a small girl with a long red cape. After seeing this he was thoroughly curious of who this girl was...

Meanwhile...

"Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Dust shop still open at this time?"
At this point a henchman pointed his gun into the elderly shopkeepers face. "Please just take my Lien and leave!" the old man begged. "Shhhh we are not here for your money" the man replied. Talking to the henchman"Grab the dust".
Around the shop the other henchmen took tubes from a case they brought with them. They promptly went up to the Dust stores and began to fill the tubes to the brim. While this was happening the old man was being forced to hand over his Dust crystals from the viewing cabinet.

As one of the henchman was going to fill up a tube he caught side of a small girl in the back reading a magazine. "Alright kid put your hands where I can see them! He demanded. Getting no reply he briskly walked up to her and bulled down her hood. He was met with questioning grey eyes. He motioned to her to take off her headphone which were blasting music. "yes?" she asked
"I said put your hands in the air!" He growled "Ooooh" the girl replied with a slight smile.

Dante was waiting when he felt a disturbance, glancing down what he saw surprised him. Down below one of the armed men was on the floor outside the smashed shop window. The cause of this was currently standing still on the road. The small girl proceeded to grab a contraption off of her back while in one smooth movement transformed it into a huge red and black scythe while promptly slammed the tip of the blade into the road causing it to crack from the impact.

The man in orange, who Angelo could now see was the infamous criminal Roman Torchwick, with a slight distaste showing on his face he motioned to his men. " Get her" Hearing this Angelo decided it was time for him to make his dramatic entrance. Stepping off of the roof he rushed down and landed in front of the small girl who held a surprised expression. "Evening Gentleman" he announced " Why are you picking on this small defenseless girl" Motioning to Ruby who switched to an angry expression " Hey! I'm not..." she was promptly cut off by henchmen who decided enough was enough and charged at Angelo. He was met by a chilling grin when the henchman realized he was flying through the air. With this the others charged brandishing their blades. Seeing this Angelo's eyes seem to sparkle as he drew a Longsword from the sheath at his side and a small whoosh went up as small shield of light went up on the side of his arm.

Time seemed to slow as he blocked one attack with his glimmering shield that was all the brighter in the evening dark. He proceeded to sweep his Longsword down in a diagonal arc across one of his opponents. At this moment the man flew back unconscious. With the other two stunned, Angelo took his chance and shield bashed the first attacker sending him sprawling onto the road with the same fate as the second attacker. With the final attacker Angelo finished with a flourish when he did a back flip while simultaneously kicking the last henchman in the face who flew and skidded to a halt at the feet of Roman.

"You were worth every cent you truly were" he murmured "Well then, Red, Blondie, I think we can all say that it has been an eventful evening" raising his cane from which a small cross-hair popped up"I think its time we parted ways" realizing the threat Angelo quickly leapt in front of the Girl raising his shield. Roman blasted off two shots which temporarily blinded him and the girl. When he recovered his senses Roman had disappeared. Suddenly he felt a tugging and saw the Girl pointing "Look" they both caught a glimpse of the Roman hauling himself up a building. They both nodded and sprinted after him. " The names Ruby Rose" she said "Angelo Nariko" he replied "Nice to meet you Angelo, you do realize that I'm going to get you back for not letting me see the action?" stated Ruby "Hmm what's that? I was too busy leaving you in my dust!" Giggled a smug Angelo.

When they reached the top they saw Roman standing at the edge of the building clearly not able to continue. Grinning, Angelo advanced towards him when he was halted by a loud whine. Suddenly a Bullshead rose up deafening the two teens. With Roman on the ship they managed to glimpse him throw a small crystal. As it rolled up to them they realised that is was a red dust crystal. Too late, they saw him raise his cane and shoot an explosive to them. In fear Angelo raised his shield after jumping in front of Ruby.

After a moment he realised that something wasn't right, he should have been wounded in some way from that explosion. Glancing up he saw familiar wards glowing above their heads. "Glynda.." he breathed, standing above him was the renown Huntress. From their position behind her the two teens observed as she battered the ship in the air. Noticing a weird red glow he called out to the Huntress before he knew it he was flying through the air with Ruby just in front of him. They both hit the ground with varying degrees of more painful one being for Angelo. They both got to their feet with their weapons ready. Angelo took the time to transform his sword into a rifle. They both started to fire at the darkened figure on the ship who simply blocked the bullets as if they were nothing. Soon the ship flew away at breathtaking speeds. Both the teens relaxed until Angelo felt the air move as a blow clashed into his head and he slid into the abyss of unconsciousness.

He groggily woke up to see startled scared silver what happened he glanced around the room and realized where he was. The Station. Realization slapped him in the face as it dawned on who he was going to see. Angelo visibly gulped as the door swung open.

10 minutes later...

"So Angelo... What have you been up to." Grinned Prof. Ozpin

"Errrr..."

Sighing "Oh well I only brought you here to tell you that seeing how you have developed as a fighter. I believe that it's time you started attending Beacon" Ozpin Stated

Relaxing Visibly the teen asked "When do I start?"
