Here's the new chapter. Enjoy


Have you heard of the ancient Remnant War?

Yeah. Your favorite story.

So, you know of the first Hunters? They're the ones who started the war.

Never heard of them.

You can drop the facáde

It was never said that the first Hunters ever existed.

If they never existed, then who could've defended Mankind against the creatures of Grimm? Apparitions of Darkness intent on returning us, beings of light to the void.

Mankind defended itself with the discovery of Dust, which was affectionately named nature's wrath.

Even with that, all Lights will eventually flicker and die

We will still prepare our guardians to defend against the Darkness.

Remember where the War started? On that very same land shall Darkness prevail and Light expire. The future; It is already written.

But unlike Darkness, there's more to light than meets the eye. You might be surprised.

Oh I hope so.


The night air was crisp, filled with the quietness that came about. The natural sounds of the night were only drowned out in the vicinity of the market district of Vale by rapidly moving footsteps. The footsteps could be traced back to a small group of six people, five of which were clad in black suits and red sunglasses, and the sixth one appearing in a vastly different clothing color. He had slanted, dark-green eyes that shone in the light of the street lamps and bright, long, orange hair with long bangs covering his right eye. His apparel consisted of a red-collared white suit and long black pants. His accessories consisted of a bowler hat with a red band and feather, a small grey scarf, and black gloves with rounded sleeves. For some reason, he was also wearing eye liner and smoking a cigar.

Regardless of how he looked, the people on the sidewalk backed away in fear of the man and his group walked towards the Dust til Dawn shop. Whether it was for a business transaction or other motives, the bystanders understood that the man and group meant business with the owner of the shop. The mysterious group entered the shop without a word, leaving people to wonder what may occur within the innards of the shop.

The group looked around the dust shop, noticing large tubes on the wall holding the stuff as well as shelves and the front counter holding vials and booklets containing info on the material. The leader of the group walked up to the front counter and flicked lightly on his cigar, leaving ash on the counter. The man looked to the shopkeeper and without ordering it, one of his henchmen began to raise guns towards the owner.

"Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a dust shop open this late?" He said in a calm, business like tone.

"P-please! Just take my lien and leave." The Owner panicked, holding his hands up in surrender.

"Sh sh sh, calm down, we're not here for your money." The leader said before looking to address his followers and saying in a much more exasperated tone, "Grab the Dust."

He looked to his men and ordered them to grab the dust. One of them placed a large black container on the counter and removed a cylinder from it. He and several others did the same before walking over to the tubes on the wall and hooking them into the despensors. The dust began to empty into the smaller cylinders at a rapid speed. Back at the counter, another black container was set down and opened, this time containing slots for gems of sorts.

"Crystals. Burn. Uncut." A henchman ordered.

The Shop Owner did as the man asked and reached under the counter to grab the crystals. The fifth Henchman was about to begin harvesting the dust from the tubes on the right side of the store when he heard muffled music coming from one of the isles. He looked down the isle and spotted a mysterious person with a red hood listening to music. Feeling that they might become a threat, he dropped the dust cylinder and pulled out a hidden long sword, raising it towards the person.

"Alright kid, put your hands where I can see them." He ordered. "Hey, I said hands in the air! You got a death wish or something?"

The person had apparently not heard him, so he walked up to them and turned them around. After doing so he noticed another person was with the girl who'd payed him no mind. He too wore headphones, so it was quite likely that he hadn't heard the followers threats.

"Hey buddy! Hands in the air, now!" The henchman ordered.

The mysterious Faunus looked up from his magazine and looked at the man holding him at sword point. He removed his headphones and just stared at his apparent mugger.

"Yeah?" He asked, mildly annoyed.

"I said put your hands in the air, now!"

The boy sighed before saying, "Do you even know who I am?"

"Why would I know you?"

"Never mind, but anyways, are you trying to mug us?"

"Yes! Is that not obvious?" The Black suited man said, clearly annoyed.

"Okay."

Without word or warning, the boy grabbed his muggers sword arm and twisted it around til he dropped the weapon. Afterwards, he released the man's arm and kicked him back to the front of the store. The girl next to him pulled down her headphones and admired the boys work.

"Nice Job Drake." The red cloaked teen complimented.

"Thanks Ruby, but this fight is only beginning." The Faunus known as Drake pointed out.

Another of the henchman ran to them and held a gun up to Ruby.

"Freeze!" He ordered.

"After you Ruby." Drake said.

Ruby nodded, instantly understanding what Drake meant. She ran up to the gunman and tackled him. She continued the tackle til they were at the window, at which point she used him to break the glass and leap outside and into the streets of Vale. The leader of the gang and the rest of his able bodied members crowded around the window to look for Ruby. They saw her out in the middle of the street, but she was now holding a red block, which was rapidly transforming into a scythe.

"Your all done for now." Drake said, alerting the rest of the group to his presence.

"What are you all waiting for? Get them!" The leader ordered.

His henchmen followed their orders obediently and engaged in combat with the two teens. The four remaining henchmen split into two groups with three of them going to deal with Ruby and one as well as the leader to deal with Drake. Ruby had little to worry about from the two that confronted her thanks to her training at Signal. As for Drake, little could be said due to Ruby having no knowledge of whether he's had combat experience. All she could do was assume that he could hold his own in a fight.

"You gonna be okay Drake?" Ruby called out.

"Yeah. You just worry about your end!" Drake yelled in response.

The red cloaked girl took his advice to heart and realigned her focus to the battle at hand. The sword wielding henchman tried to attack by rushing Ruby down in hopes of catching her off guard. Unfortunately for him, luck was not on his side. With her scythe still planted in the ground, Ruby used it as leverage leap over his sword swing and counterattack in one fluid motion. With the still in hand, she spun around on Weapons shaft and kick her sword wielding assailant into incapacitation. The force from her own attack was enough to launch her forward, as well as dislodge her scythe. She landed with ease before holding the scythe with both hands and clicking the trigger. The shot recoil forced Ruby to spin, ending with her slamming the safe edge into a henchman.

Raising her scythe, she noticed the henchman with a gun and pulled her sniper-scythe's lever, releasing the spent bullet and loading another into the chamber. The henchman opened fire, but unfortunately for him Ruby was able to dodge around his shots by using her gun's shot recoil to dash around the street at high speeds. Her final shot launched her straight towards him, which in turn launched him up into the air. Ruby slammed her scythe's tip into the ground, lessening her momentum, and using it as the balance point to spin around and finish off the henchman with one scythe strike.

She landed on the ground without a scratch and breathed a sigh of relief. She gazed through the broken window of the shop and saw that Drake was still dealing with the Leader and his last Henchman. Ruby looked at his weapons, which appeared rather simplistic. In his hands, Drake held two Black metallic kamas, linked with a chain between the two. Extending from the top end of the weapon was a foot long stainless metal blade with a blue engraved scatch mark, giving the illusion of electricity. All in all, it appeared to be a simple chain scythe.

"Well, I have to say, you two have definitely turned this evening into something else. But, this is unfortunately where we must part." The Leader said.

"Yeah yeah. You can say what you want, but I'm not letting you walk out of here with your hands in tact." Drake said.

The White Coated man was about to retort to Drake's blatant claim, but his last able bodied follower jumped the gun and rushed the Faunus boy when he was supposedly distracted. Unfortunately for him, his rash actions were only met with the sound of metal clashing with metal. He was surely to have had a scared look beneath his red sunglasses as Drake looked fiercely at him with his own heterochromatic eyes. Using his free hand, Drake pushed the henchman away and hooked the back of the man's neck with the safe edge of his weapons. He utilized his new leverage over his assailant and slammed the man's head against one of the shelved containing dust, causing several of the vials to fall and some to shatter on the ground. The Man was knocked out, and with that he looked back at the leader. Drake failed to notice as mixtures of Red and Yellow dust pooled at his feet.

"Well, looks like they were money well spent." He said sarcastically.

"Looks like it. Now then, how is this gonna go down?" Drake asked.

"Well, we have two options. You and Red walk away and act like none of this happened. Or, I can personally deal with the two of you myself."

Rather than answering, the odd eyed boy ran past the man and leapt out the broken store window. He looked through the window at the Faunus and Red Cloaked girl with annoyance. He walked over to the door and walk out of the store door, ignoring the fact that the Store Clerk had long since pulled out his phone and called for help. Walking out to the middle of the street, the gang leader dropped his cigar into the street and snuffed it out with his cane.

"I believe that it is time to put an end to this little evening." The Green Eyed man said.

He raised his Cain up, pointing the end of it towards the two before the bottom popped open and revealed some type of gun barrel and an aiming sight. The man clicked a trigger hidden on his Cane, firing off a fast moving flare type round towards the two teens. Ruby pointed her gun scythe toward the ground and fired off a round to launch herself into the air to avoid the shot, while Drake threw one of his scythe's towards a lampost, which caught it, and allowed him to quickly pull himself out of the shots firing direction. As Ruby landed, she looked to Drake to make sure he was okay, then looked around to see where the leader escaped to. She found him scaling the ladder of a nearby building. Drake ran to the building side and flung his scythe's upward, making sure they cling to the roof side before climbing the chains to the top. Ruby looked over at the shop owner, making sure he wasn't hurt.

"It okay if I go after him?" Ruby asked the owner.

The Shop Clerk nodded off to her, which Ruby took as permission to rejoin the chase with Drake and The Gang Leader. The Young Reaper ran over to the building they had scaled and used her gun-scythe to launch herself onto the building. Upon landing, she watched as the leader began to board an escape vehicle. After he had gotten on, it ascended into the air. The White Coated man turned back to face the two teens and held out a Red Dust Crystal he'd obtained from the store.

"End of the line you Two!" He yelled out to them.

The White Coated man threw the crystal at them, drawing their attention away from himself. He raised his cane and pulled the trigger, firing a shot at the Crystal. Ruby and Drake failed to notice in time and watches as the shot hit the Crystal spawning a large explosion fight in front of them. The (former) leader laughed manically, believing the thought that he'd disposed of the duo plaguing him, only to see that his attempt failed, forcing a growl of annoyance out of him.

Rather than seeing two corpses, instead he saw a giant purple, mysterious circle which appeared magic in nature, and a new person joining the fight. The person in question was clad in a white blouse black button up combo, black tights, black high heels, a set of glasses, and a Purple and Black cape with a Crown sigil on the Black side. She had platinum blonde hair held in a tight bun with a few strands left free, bright green eyes, and pale skin. She pushed her glasses back up the bridge of her nose, and swung a riding crop across the barrier, forcing it to break into smaller projectiles, which flew towards the bulkhead and exploded on impact. Although the vehicle remained skybound, it was shaken up. The leader started to lose balance, trying his best to stay on his feet. Once he found his footing, he rushed to the bulkheads cockpit and alerted the pilot of the current status.

"We got a huntress!" He called out over the alarms blaring.

The pilot sprung from their seat and headed towards the back of the aircraft. While they left the controls, the leader took hold of them and started to stabilize the bulkhead. The huntress performed another strange motion with her riding crop, and shot forth a large purple ball from the tip of her Riding Crop. The ball traveled into the air above the aircraft and started to form dark storm clouds. The clouds swirled around above the bulkhead, seemingly harmless until icicles start to rain forth onto the vehicle and street below. Many of them struck the vehicle and stuck in the outer hull, one going through the glass of the cockpit and nearly impaling the current pilot were it not for him moving to the side at the last second.

The previous pilot walked into the cabin, revealing theirself to the Huntress, Drake, and Ruby, save for their facial features. The person was female, wearing a Red dress with Black trimmings going down to mid thigh, the dress having strange yellow symbols along the sleeves and a green flower like emblem on the left hip. She had on black, glass high heels and a yellow anklet. The only facial detail they could see was the yellow eyes that seemed to pierce the darkness shrouding her appearance. Whether it was her showing up, those fiery yellow eyes, or as far as they could read who she was, she set Drake off. His expression became a snarl and his rage and bloodlust became more evident.

The Huntress and Ruby could feel the bloody rage his aura radiated, and it was quite likely the mysterious woman could as well. Drake flung his scythes towards the mysterious woman, but missed her entirely. Rather, the metallic weapons clung to the floor of Bulkhead, but Drake still held on to his weapons through the chains. The faunus boy started to reel himself towards the aircraft in an attempt to board it. The Gang Leader noticed his attempt to climb on and moved the controls to get the aircraft away from the building and shake Drake off. All that was accomplished was dragging Drake off the building, but the boy still hung on.

The Mysterious Woman in the back cabin had decided to stop being a bystander and decided to address the huntress threat before her. A spark flashed in her hand and she waved said hand around before shooting a burning blast at the huntress. The huntress quickly raised a barrier, blocking the fire shot, which splattered into a molten liquid on the ground behind her. The Lady in the Red Dress raised her hand that shot the blast, forcing the molten liquid behind the huntress to re-ignite. She noticed the new attack in time and handsprung backwards to avoid the fiery column that was beneath her. The column shattered the ground it was conjured upon, sending bits of concrete and other stone types into the air.

"Drake, be careful!" Ruby warned.

Her warnings fell upon deaf ears as he continued to climb the chains of his weapon. Their Huntress Savior used her ability to suspend the roof fragments in the air before forcing them to congregate into an enormous makeshift spear. She launched the giant weapon towards the Bulkhead, only for it to be blasted apart by the mysterious woman shooting three fire blasts in rapid succession. The Huntress was quick on her wits and reformed the spear while the pieces previously used were still in close proximity. The spear flew through the air towards the aircraft, and it seemed quite likely that it would take it down, but that was not so. The Pilot altered the aircraft's aerial position and reduced the damage taken while taking the giant weapon apart as it shattered along the bulkhead wing. Once again the Huntress was a quick thinker and changed the former spear into three more makeshift weapons, which followed a more erratic movement pattern. The Woman in red watched as the three weapons swirled around the ship before her attention was diverted to a loud grunt. She looked to the floor and saw Drake still trying to board the Bulkhead. He looked up and started to make out her appearance through the darkness surrounding her.

"You!" He screamed out at her.

The Woman quietly gasped before charging up for her next attack. Three yellow rings swirled around her body with strange symbols bearing a striking resemblance to what was on her clothing within the rings. The rings shattered, releasing a huge pulse of fire from her, reducing the stone fragments into hot ash and sending Drake flying from the aircraft towards the ground. Ruby gasped as she watched the boy fall from the Bulkhead. She looked to the Amber eyed woman and shifted her Scythe to its Rifle form. The Reapette opened fire on the person, who blocked the shots with her hand and possibly some assiztance from her ability. The Woman in Red waved her hands again, this time forming several smaller energy circles beneath Ruby and the Huntress. Ruby leapt/fell forward while the Huntress flipped forward to avoid the fiery columns that erupted from their previous positions.

The open hatch of the Bulkhead finally closed and the vehicle took off, flying away from the Huntress, Ruby, and Drake. The Huntress grunted in frustration in failing at capturing the people in the Bulkhead, while Ruby looked down in sadness.

"I hope Drake is okay." Ruby murmured to herself.

Her moping was interrupted by the sounds of strained groaning by the building ledge closest to the street. She looked upward from her sadness and watched a person's hand cling to the side of the building, attempting to scale the building. More of the person began to show up, first being a pair of black cat ears and black hair with blue highlights, and only when the person's heterochromatic eyes showed up did Ruby realize who it was. She ran towards the person and pulled Drake onto the roof and into a hug all in one fell swoop.

"Your okay!" Ruby said, tightening her hold on the Faunus boy.

"I'm glad you were thinking about me Ruby, but could you ease up a little?" He said in response.

Ruby backed off and said in a machine gun fashion, "S-sorry. It's just that we became friends today, and I got really worried when you fell so when I saw you I kinda overreacted and I am so so soooooo sorry."

"It's fine. As you you can see, I'm okay."

Drake held his arms outward to try and show he was okay, but that wasn't entirely true. There were a few singed parts on his clothing and several burn marks on his arms, neck and cheeks. Oddly enough, his scarf had gone completely unharmed, as though it were protected. Though, there was a small fire still going on his right pant leg.

"Uh, yeah. Your pants are still a little on fire." Ruby pointed out.

Drake looked down and saw that she was totally right. He put the fire out and gave her an awkward smile. Ruby laughed awkwardly as well, and quickly diverted her attention to the mysterious woman who saved them.

"Your a Huntress..." Ruby pointed out, then asked with pure excitement "Can I have your autograph?"

"Um, Ruby, I don't think she's here to give out autographs." Drake said.

"Your friend is correct. Now, you two are to come with me at once." The Huntress ordered.

"But why-" Ruby attempted to ask.

"Do not argue. Now, I suggest that you listen and follow me."

"Alright, alright. We'll come quietly." Drake said in surrender.

Ruby tried to argue back, but couldn't find the words. With sadness, she went along in surrenderence. Neither Ruby nor Drake knew where the Huntress was taking them, but as far as they knew, they were in trouble.


Later on in that same night, they were dragged into a mysterious building, but that was not what worried the two teens. What honestly worried them was the fact that they were being held captive by a mysterious woman, with a riding crop, and that it was nearing midnight. Ruby and Drake had been placed in seperate rooms keeping one another apart. Ruby was in a dark room, lit by only a single ceiling lamp. She was being confronted by the woman who had saved them, and was quite sure she was in absolute trouble, though her intentions from earlier were good.

"I hope you realize your actions shall not be taken lightly young lady." The Huntress said, following it up with, "You put yourself, that young man, and others in danger."

"But they started it!" Ruby said.

"If it were up to me, you'd be sent home. With a pat on the back." The Huntress said, her statement causing Ruby to smile, then continued with "and a slap on the wrist."

She swung her riding crop down upon the table, making Ruby recoil to avoid being hit by it. The Huntress sighed, bringing Ruby to believe that she had more to say.

"But. There is someone here to meet you, and he will be in here once he's done with your friend." The Huntress informed.

"Okay. What's your name?" The Red Cloaked girl inquired.

"I find that hardly necessary at the moment, but if you must know, my name is Glynda Goodwitch."

The room Drake was thrown into was more or less the same as Ruby's, the only difference being that he was restrained. His hands were bound in handcuffs behind the chair he was in. He tried with all his might to snap the chain, but he bore no such strength. The sound of opening door diverted his attention away from the handcuffs that bound him. A mysterious person whom he didn't know walked in holding a a Cane with some sort of handguard and a coffee mug with the Kingdom's symbol upon it.

He appeared to be a middle-aged man with tousled gray hair and thin brown eyes. His complexion appeared to be lighter than most others, and was complemented by sharp facial features. He wore shaded glass spectacles and a dark-green scarf bearing a small, purple, cross-shaped emblem on it. His outfit mainly consisted of an unzipped black suit over top a buttoned vest, with a green undershirt. He also wears black trouser shoes and long, dark-green pants.

Interestingly enough, the man had black eyebrows, insinuating to the fact that he may have had black hair when he was younger.

The Man in question simply looked at Drake, and Drake peered back. Within the Faunus boys eyes, he descerned much, if not, nearly everything about the boy. He saw Excitement, Sadness, Hope, and Darkness. Silence was set between the too, only the humming of the ceiling light emitting sound.

"What is your name?" The Man asked.

"Why should I tell you?" Drake asked in retortion, his tone taking an aggressive turn.

"I believe it would be in the better of both our interests if there were no hostility between us."

"Okay. Fair point. Last thing I need is an enemy."

"Very Good. Now, your name?"

"Drake. And following social customs, now that you know me, I would ask that you tell me your name."

The Man took a seat across from Drake, but their attention was still on the matter at hand. Once more, their gazes locked onto one another. The unknown man before Drake set his coffee mug down on the table, momentarily breaking the silence. The sound that rang around the room was the sound of chains clanging against wood now rung through the room as Drake tries to break from his restraints.

"My name is Ozpin." The Man identified himself as.

"Alright then. My next question is-" Drake started to say.

"Why are you in handcuffs?"

"Uh, yeah." The teen said, a surprised expression molding onto his face.

"Well, my associate, whom you've met from before, felt there was a need to restrain you, as she was unsure of what you were capable of."

"I suppose that's a valid reason, but it would've been more reasonable to at least trust me enough to be unrestrained."

"While that may be true, Glynda has always been a cautious woman."

Ozpin rose from his seat, slightly surprising Drake, but was up for a reason. He rounded the table between the two of them and stopped behind Drake, who intensified his struggle to get free. Ozpin placed a hand on the boys restraints, forcing him to try and break free with all the strength he held. A click sounded and the handcuffs fell from his wrists, but the Teenage Faunus hadn't noticed, so as soon he felt them fall, he leaped from his seat. Unfortunately, he had slammed his stomach into the table side with a large amount of force, enough to make him collapse, making him clutch his abdomen in pain, and close his eyes in pure pain.

"See what jumping the gun leads you to?" The Green clad man told Drake.

"Alright. I'm listening now. " Drake said, pain laced in his words as he spoke.

"Now then. I saw what you did at the dust shop. Now tell me, where did you learn to pull off such maneuvers?"

Drake was taken aback by the question, which distracted him from his abdominal pain for the moment. Judging by his facial expression, Ozpin could tell that his combat skills was something he'd rather not talk about. Drake clutched the side of the table and pulled himself onto his feet.

"I'm... Just naturally skilled." The Faunus replied, nervously.

"Are you certain that's all it is? Because I've known several people who were naturally adept with combat, but none with this caliber of skill." Ozpin said.

Drake sighed. "I'd rather not talk about where I've learned how to fight. It's... Classified."

"I understand that you have your own secrets, but I was only asking, because I am willing to give you the opportunity to attend Beacon academy."

"Th-THE Beacon Academy?! The school meant to train people to fight Grimm?" Excitement overtaking Drake's voice.

"Yes, but the choice is yours. You can choose to attend Beacon, or resume your life here in Vale, and judging by the articles pertaining to you in the newspaper, it's pretty clear which choice is the better option."

"Your right about that. Mr. Ozpin, I would like to start attending Beacon academy."

"Very good."

Ozpin outstretched a hand to Drake, waiting for him to shake. The Faunus understood, and did as he was expected. The two of them shook, binding the agreement to its fullest. Drake's Fox tail swished through air happily, barely able to contain his excitement. Drake looked to the open doorway, and it had finally occured to him as to inquire where Ruby had been taken.

"If your looking for your friend, she's down the hall, take a right, and she in the first room on the left." The Teacher informed.

"Thanks." Drake said.

He eagerly took off out of the room, rushing to rejoin the girl he'd been seperated from. Ozpin sighed before opening his scroll and dialing a number into it. He listened as the dialer rang out several times before someone had picked up the other end of the line.

"Hello?" A strong, Firm Male voice asked.

"It's Ozpin. Drake is enrolled into the academy." The Teacher informed.

"Good. Keep a close eye on him, and make sure his semblance is kept under control."

"I know. We'll watch over him, but I can't make any promises if his Semblance gets too out of hand."

"I know, but just keep the boy safe."

"Understood. Goodbye, A-"

"Don't say my name! This call might be getting traced."

The person on the receiving end of the call had hung up abruptly. Ozpin sighed once again, putting his scroll away. The person he'd been calling seemed unusually angry. Pushing it to the back of his mind, he grabbed his Cane out of the doorway, and proceeded out the room.


The sound of rapid footsteps rang through the hallways, echoing through to the room holding Ruby and Glynda. Glynda was semi baffled as to who it could be before realizing that only one person would be rushing down the hallway. The footsteps got louder as Drake approached, but Ruby wasn't quite sure it was him. Her unsurities were put at ease once Drake appeared in the doorway.

"Ruby!" He yelled happily, despite she being only a few feet away.

"Drake!" She yelled in response.

Ruby sprung up from her seat and leaped over the table to get closer to her newest friend. She stopped directly in front of him, trying to look into his eyes, despite their somewhat height differences. While she peered into those Amber and Blue eyes, the Faunus stared into her bright Silver orbs. In the few moment they shared in looking at one another, they began to understand one another. Behind Drake's eyes, Ruby saw anguish, heartbreak, sadness, and longing for Hope. Within Ruby's, the Faunus boy saw Joy, Excitement, Danger, and even a little depression. To them, it felt like they'd been staring at one another for an eternity, when on reality it was only two minutes.

"I hate to break up such a moment, but I must speak with Miss Rose." Ozpin said.

Ruby, Drake, and Glynda's gazes were diverted to the Gray haired man, who now held a plate of cookies for some reason. Ruby returned to her seat behind the table, while Drake leaned against the doorway. Ozpin entered the room, due to the doorway being blocked by the previously staring teens.

"Ruby Rose. You..." Ozpin said.

He leaned in close to observe the red cloaked girl. Ruby leaned back against her chair, her face showing confusing as to what the man was looking for.

"Have silver eyes." The Man said.

"Uh, um..." Ruby stammered out, her eyes darting left and right rapidly.

"So. Where did you learn to do this?" Ozpin asking, motioning to a captured video of Ruby's fight at the dust shop.

"S-signal Academy?" Ruby stammered out, nervously.

"They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?"

"Well, one teacher in particular."

"I see."

Ozpin placed the platter of cookies down on the table and Ruby just looked at them like they were poisonous. A moment later, she hesitantly grabbed one and ate it whole. Her eyes widened, and she quickly scarfed down the rest of the cookies.

"Its just that I've seen only one other scythe wielder of that skill before. A dusty old crow." Ozpin explained.

"Das mah Uncre." Ruby said through a mouthful of cookies.

Ozpin's expression became a sneer in confusion at the young girls garbled words. Ruby quickly wiped her mouth and gave quick giggle.

"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 'hooooo whatcha'." Ruby explained, doing little poses with her last words.

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

"Well. I want to be a Huntress." Ruby's tone turned serious.

"You want to slay monsters?"

"Yeah. I only have two more years at Signal til I apply for Beacon. You see, my sister is starting there this year and she's trying to become a Huntress. And I'm trying to become a Huntress cause I wanna help people. And my parents always taught us to help people, so I figured, you know, may as well make a career out of it. The police are alright, but Huntsmen and Huntresses are just so much more exciting and romantic." She paused to squill "Y'know!?"

Glynda looked unsure of the girl due to how excited she had become. Ozpin just stared at her for a moment, trying to process all of what she said. Drake, being the outlier of the group, decided to point out something useless.

"You. Have a rediculous lung capacity." He pointed out.

Ruby giggled lightly.

"Do you know who I am?" Ozpin asked, rediverting attention to the matter at hand.

"You're Professor Ozpin. You're the Headmaster of Beacon."

"Hello." The Headmaster greeted.

"Nice to meet you." The Young Reapette responded.

"So. You want to come to my school?"

"More than anything."

Ozpin looked to Glynda, who sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Well, alright." Ozpin said.

To say Ruby was happy would be a broad understatement. She was at the very pinnacle of excitement. She sprung out from her seat and immediately wrapped Drake into a hug, surprising him. Although it felt awkward, he meekly hugged her back. They remained that way before Ruby gasped.

"What time is it?" She asked quickly.

"Uh. I think about 9:15 Why?" Drake told.

"I was supposed to be home an hour ago!"

Drake understood her reason for panic, and rushed out the door, unknowingly holding her hand.

Hello! I'm back everyone. Sorry for the long wait, I just had to take my time to write this. As said in the update, I want to write good material. Also, I've been doing alot of stuff as of late. I promise, I won't take as long as it did for this one. Also, extra stories like the Crossover, and the secret story won't be around for some time. Now, before I go, I am well aware that there are grammar errors and such in my story. It's kinda hard when you have to use an aweful typing app, on a cracked phone. Anyways, it's been an amazing time, but now we part ways for now.
