Now Review Response

TheblackDragonn: Here it is

Kamina 44: Hows it going Kamina! Honestly I suck at comedy. Like reading it, hate comedy movies. I have my moments, but I can't make it stick.

RayD2kill: Yeah, because posting something at 2-3 o'clock in the morning and grammar mistakes are a buzzkill for 99.9 percent of readers, but please give me another elementary school lesson in grammar, its not like I was winding down when posting or anything.

Hearpaderp1028: I agree on the I could have written some parts better, but like most of my stories, the first chapter is probably my worst chapter since I have to give some type of set up to how I want to move forward.

Spark681: This is more of a Action based story rather then a drama based story. Granted there will be elements of ideas that I originally 'toyed' with. Depending on how people like it. I may or may not fall though with one of my more... outlandish ideas. It's an idea that I haven't seen in any Ruby story so far, I might get offline with you or a few others and get a feel for the idea.

Chapter 2: Tide is High

Location: Southern Vale territory, Elise Village

Place: Skies

Time: 1800

Six months wasn't a large amount of time to most people. However six months had been an eternity for the remaining team members of team RWBY. Over the last six months the girls had been without their leader, their friend. For the first three days or so they figured that she was just off in Vale renting a hotel room blowing off steam. That quickly changed when an angered Nora and Velvet marched into their room and demanded to know why Ozpin had told them that Ruby wouldn't be back for a while.

The three older girls had no answer for them and it took the combined efforts of Ozpin, Glynda, Port, Dr. Ooblek, Professor peach, and team JNPR to pull Nora away from 'breaking their legs'. It was after that that Ozpin explained the situation with Ruby. All three members of Team WBY had been annoyed at Ozpin for allowing her to go off on her own, but his next words, cold and distant had an apparent effect on all three girls.

"Ruby left because of you three," said Ozpin.

Ever since then the members of Team WBY had been isolated from most if not all their friends. Team JNPR still talked to them, or at least Ren, Jaune, and Pyhrra were coldly civil to them, Nora outright refused to speak with them until Ruby came back. Ren had explained that it was because when Nora grew close to someone they were more important to her then her own life and if anyone she loved was hurt, then someone else was going to get hurt. Their grades began to slip, their overall performance was just trash, and they were constantly fighting with each other. Each one blaming the other for driving Ruby away. Yang and Blake also had a falling in their partnership and friendship. Where once the two were good friends, now they could hardly be in the same room as each other without a fight breaking out between them. This often resulted in Weiss getting between them and acting as a referee. Though most of the time she tended to side with her girlfriend.

Currently the girls were in a bullhead on their way to a mission in the Southern Vale territories. A village was under siege from a Pack of Grimm. They had made a request from a group of Huntsmen and Huntresses to take care of it. They were meeting their 'Pro Huntress' there.

"How much longer before we get there?" asked the irritated blonde

Weiss pulled out her Scroll. "10 minutes to the landing zone," said The white haired Heiress.

Blake sighed. "As long as we're away from beacon for a while I'm fine with it," said the black haired ninja of the team.

"Well Maybe if someone didn't cheat on my sister and drove her away," said Yang glaring at Blake.

Blake rolled her eyes. "Your still beating that dead horse? I told you before I'm sorry that I did what I did, but Sun was charming and good in the sack," said Blake.

"So charming and good that he was in Velvet's arms before Ruby was even gone for a month," said Weiss with a glare.

Blake blushed in rage as she glared at Weiss. After Sun found out that Blake had been with Ruby before him he quickly broke off whatever they had and somehow ended up with Velvet that same week. Sometime later team SNNN left Beacon to return to Haven academy, but were now part of a Joint operations team with CVFY. Ozpin and Lionheart had considered team RWBY for the position, but after Ruby asked to leave her team they no longer fit the quote needed to be part of the group.

Before Blake could open her mouth a call came over the Bullhead intercom. "We'll be landing in a few minutes. Gather your equipment and prepare for landing," said the Pilot.

The girls each gathered their bags/cases as the Bullhead landed. Once the group left the Bullhead they looked around the village. It was like most villages that Vale had under their protection. It was several small houses with a few larger ones that acted like businesses, they also had a larger wooden wall surrounding the village with a few guard towers.

"So you the kids from Beacon?" asked a woman that was waiting at the landing zone. She was the same height as Yang, She was a few years removed from whatever school she had been part of, C-cup breasts, long teal colored hair pulled into a ponytail, brown eyes, wearing a long sleeve white shirt with a few buttons undone, a pair of blue jeans, a brown vest and finally a pair of cowboy boots. Her weapon was a repeater Rifle with a blade attracted to the barrel.

"Yeah. We're Team RWBY. You Huntress Class-B Jade Calamity?" asked Yang.

Jade smirked. "That's what my mama calls me. My partner is out scouting the nest that's been giving this place trouble. We figure that it's a nest of Tangle-webs, bout 50 or so, ranging from 4 to 8 feet in over all length. Once my partner gets back with the info and our last member gets here we'll start our plan.

Grimm Nests while not uncommon were not something people wanted to deal with. Nests were places were Grimm 'rested' or lived when not out roaming around. The largest known nest ever recorded contained almost 2000 B-class grimm and took the effects of the 3rd Atlas Infantry Division and 2nd Air Fleet and almost 300 Huntsmen to destroy. This was part of what lead to Altas creating the Specialist Program, currently headed by Weiss's sister, Coronal Winter Schnee

Yang crossed her arms and snorted. "Plan? Who needs a plan. All we have to do is run up and Blam-O Grimm nest destroyed," said Yang as if that's all it took.

Jade looked at Yang with a glare. "You must have a death wish or something kid? Going up against a nest isn't something you should take lightly," said Jade turning from the girls. "Meet me at the Inn and we'll go over it in detail,"

The Trio followed after Jade, missing the small jet that flow over them.

Location: Elise Village

Place: Inn

Time: 2000

The girls were treated to a meal of noodles with different toppings and content as they awaited Jade's partner. While they waited Jade tried to learn everything about team RWBY that she could. They made small talk about hteir interests and such, until they got to a touchy subject.

"Where's your fourth member?" asked Jade.

The girls looked at Jade. "We haven't seen her for about six months now," said Blake looking down.

"Mission gone wrong?" asked Jade.

"More like we messed up... big time," said Yang thinking about the last thing Ruby said to her. How Ruby had truly seen her. Not just as her big sister, but her mother, her role modal.

"Before she could get to know them further the door opened and a figure walked in. He was pretty short, standing about 5'4" shoulder length white hair tied with a black ribbon, red eyes, wearing a knee length black down jacket, white pants, and blue boots. Attached to his waist was a belt with dust grenades attached, and a collapsed baton.

"What kept you Roc?" asked Jade.

"I had to make sure not to trip any of their territory lines, least I be killed by their venomous bites," said the now name Roc as he came over.

"Excuse me who are you?" asked Weiss.

"Forgive my manors. I'm Roc Rolla. I'm Jade's partner from our Time in Atlas," said Roc.

The made all the girls look at the duo in surprise.

"Your both Specialists?" asked Weiss.

"Ex. We left before we got pulled into that whole debate and before it became basically mandatory for Atlas Grads to join the military," said Jade before turning to Roc. "What did you find out Roc?"

"They've constructed a web that spans an entire football field. Because of that their Webs and trip alarms expand for several hundred yards in all directions. My guess is that in the center is is Clutch. A massive one too. 25 breeding pairs, a massive clutch and territory disadvantage. This is going to be a pain in the ass,"

"Fire dust is going to be our best friend here," said Jade.

"We got plenty of that thanks to my bae here," said Yang smirking as she threw her arm around Weiss making her blush.

"Quiet you brute," said the white haired girl giving Yang a small push.

As the black cat Faunus watched the two playfully banter with each other, she couldn't help but think of Ruby. The day Ruby asked her to be her girlfriend.

Flashback.

Ruby and Blake had just finished a team battle, but since they had this Class and the Freezerburn duo didn't they had time to get to know each other better and found that they had a lot in common. Blake even found that Ruby wasn't just a sugar rush waiting to happen. She just got excited easily. Blake also discovered that Ruby loved fantasy novels, she had also allowed Ruby to tinker with Grambal Shoud allowing her to use a stronger caliber then the 9mm rounds she was use to

"...ra and Pyrrha are just to damn strong," said Ruby in a huff.

Blake chuckled as she managed to catch the tail end of what her friend was saying. "Don't worry Ruby, thanks to your speed we were able to hold out until the buzzer," said Blake.

The crimsonette groaned. "But we still lost," pouted the girl.

"Lets head to the cafe and I'll get you some strawberry cheesecake," said Blake.

Ruby intensely turned around and jumped up proclaiming Blake as the best.

As they walked Ruby became quiet close to the cafe. Blake watched her friend seemingly go though several phases, before she took a breath and Ruby stopped them, making Blake look at her.

"What's wrong Ruby?" asked Blake putting a hand on her hip.

"Well... ever since I first met you I kinda had a crush on you... and well... the thing is... Blake will you be... bemygirlfriend?" asked Ruby.

Blake was shocked hearing her friend ask this. Sure she knew about the crush thanks to Yang teasing Ruby about it. Blake thought that Ruby got over it as she began to gain other friends and Nora seemed to take an interest in Ruby if she wasn't mistaken in her assumptions. Blake pulled back her feelings of surprise as she looked at Ruby's downcast face.

Blake smiled as she hugged Ruby. "Okay... We can give it a try, but let's keep it to ourselves. At least for a while. K?" asked Blake.

Ruby smiled at her new girlfriend. A smile that Blake vowed to protect, but would only hurt in the coming months.

Flashback end.

By the time Blake came out of her memories the others had already started to contemplate battle plans for the following day. It was close to midnight when all the plans were finalized. The group all went to bed missing a cloaked figure enter the Inn. The person in question was quite short, standing at only 5'3, the dark brown cloak hid everything from view, except for the plate armor with beak tips on her leather high heeled boots. Floating behind her was a HEX-a-gon cube.

The figure yawned as it made it's way to the counter. "Hello. I'm in need of a room for the night," said the figure, a quiet melodic voice echoing from her lips.

The male Inn keeper blushed hearing her voice. It was the ringing of angels in his ears. "Of course Miss. I'm sorry, but once we get arrivals past midnight we must charge an extra fee of 10 lien. That brings your total to 60 lien ma'am," said the Inn Keeper.

The Hex-cube light up a bright red color between the lines. "Mistress it's well past your bed time. If you didn't spend the last 5 hours working on your weapons and Fighter-Flyer, then you'd already be on your way to dream land," said the cube in a motherly tone of voice.

The young woman smiled. "That's fine. I had to make sure that your ready as well tomorrow," said the woman as she took out her scroll a custom red edge to it instead of the standard white or even special black.

She swiped it across the pad transferring the funds from her account. Collapsing the scroll she went up the stairs after securing her room key as she walked down the hall and towards her room she went to open her door when the door next to her opened and a blonde haired girl stepped out with a towel over her shoulder. As Yang passed her the woman looked at the blonde. Yang felt something tickle the back of her neck as she turned and looked at the woman.

Her eyes widened as she saw a long silver eye peek out from under the clock. The woman quickly disappeared inside the room.

Yang stood in the hallway for a moment trying to wrap her head around what she saw. "Ruby?" asked the blonde brawler in a whisper.

and Cut. Hey pump your breaks! I know that you guys wanted more of what happened with team WBY, but what happened over that six month period isn't as important as whats going to happen during this time frame. Now I didn't sleep last night, perks of falling asleep during the middle of the day. I spent a lot of last night writing this and going over what I wrote.
