Chapter 3

A/N – Welcome to chapter 3 of RWBY Lied. I hope you enjoy reading this as I wrote this wanting more people to write more crossovers for Elfen lied. It might be hard but I am at least attempting to write one even if updates are slow so enjoy. Also the vectors are a part of the diclonius biology which means Ruby still gets to keep her speed semblance as it is part of her soul and not her biology.

Chapter 3

Story Start.

The next morning, Tai Yang was still moping around so it was a surprise when Qrow choked on his alcohol when he stared at Ruby as he cooked breakfast. "Is there something wrong with me?" She asked curiously as Qrow stared at her eyes. Though the iris were still red, her once red pupils had turned silver.

"Nothing nothing, just wondering how and why that Beowolf defended you" he said pouring some alcohol from his flask into his coffee only for his cup to begin floating. "Put down my cup" he said as Yang sat down at the table as the cup stopped floating but his flask began to float making the two girls laugh at Qrow face palming before both his coffee and his flask were gently placed on the table.

After breakfast, Ruby went out to the training field and began using her vectors to smack baseballs launched at her from a machine into the ground while yang went to play with friends. "That's pretty cool of you" said a voice causing Ruby to lose focus making her vectors smash the next baseball and knock one flying near where the voice originated.

Looking towards the voice, she saw a mallet of all things smack the baseball into the air. "SCOOOORRREEE" shouted an orange haired girl who was about a year older then her as a black haired boy with a pink highlight stood next to her shaking his head. "That is so awesome! How are you doing that is it part of some sort of semblance?" The girl said hopping up and down to see over the fence better as the boy tried to hold her down. "So what's your name, I'm Nora and this is my bestest buddy Ren" said the excited girl as she hopped the fence with Ren trying but failing to keep her back. "m my name is Ruby" Ruby said retracting her vectors before they could go and hurt the two children. "And I guess you could say its something similar" she said only to see an outline of Nora.

"Ooohhhh a baseball machine, can we play with you too can we can we can we" Nora asked as she held up a large mallet appearing behind Ruby as Ren just walked to the side near a wooden dummy. As she spoke, one of Ruby's Vectors entered the head of Nora in surprise only for it to do no damage as Ruby willed it back. "Sure, let's race to see who can hit the most" Ruby said quickly as another baseball machine appeared while she began to inwardly panic at what she had subconsciously done causing her vectors to begin to writhe about. "I'll just be practicing my martial arts over here" Ren said giving some test hits on the dummy before nodding as he practiced his skills.

"All righty then, let's get started" Nora shouted as she and Ruby began to deflect oncoming baseballs into the air or into the ground as the ones flying into the air hit a forcefield of sorts before dropping back down into the field. Soon a stray baseball flew between the two girls causing Ruby's hood to fly back showing the others her horns. "You have horns" Nora said as Ruby began to panic slightly and tried to put her hood back on. "That is AWESOME" Nora screamed as Ren quickly threw a ball smacking away one that was about to hit Nora. "Thanks Ren" Nora said as she went over to observe the younger girls horns up close. "Are you a Faunus of some kind?" Nora said only for Ren to pull her back and apologize. "It's alright, and no I'm not a Faunus but I was born with these horns" Ruby said knocking away another ball.

Soon they went back to hitting baseballs. After an hour of getting to know each other and smacking baseballs with Ren joining in using a bat, the three four to six year olds were ducking behind some destroyed wood dummies as the two baseball machines went berserk.

"How did it come to this" Ren said looking over only to duck back down quickly as a baseball flew past where his head once was holding a destroyed bat. Next to him was a laughing Ruby and Nora who were busy trying to not get hit by the machines they accidentally made berserk with Ruby using her vectors as extra protection for them. You see, they both hit a baseball into each other on accident which hit both machines causing a spark of electricity turning them into turrets of destruction.

Then a large sword appeared and sliced the power cables connected to the turrets as they slowly stopped firing shots allowing the three children to come out of hiding. Looking at the dying machines, they saw a Qrow taking a swig from his flask. "I see you made some friends" he said staring at the three children as Ruby simply began running towards her slightly drunk uncle. "UNCLE QROOOOOWWWW" she shouted as she did a flying hug tackle only for Qrow to lift up his arm causing her to hang from it as she began laughing.

Seeing that their new friend knew the person, Ren and Nora went up to say hi. "Hello there, friends of Ruby?" Qrow said confused as he watched Nora jump up and smash her mallet into the baseball machine as Ren shook his head at his friends antics as Ruby fell off to join her. "We have slain the beasts!" She shouted in triumph with both Ruby and herself posing as a single baseball fell out of the turret hitting her on the head. "My name is Lie Ren and this is my friend Nora Valkarie, we wanted to look around the woods and ended up at your home" Ren said helping Nora who was holding her head in pain.

"I see, it's getting dark so you two should be getting back home" Qrow said about to take another swig only to notice his flask missing and two giggles from below him. Looking down he saw Ruby holding his flask as she and Nora were trying and failing to hold in their laughter. As he took back his flask Ruby tugged on his shirt which meant that she wanted to tell him something. After a while, Nora and Ren said their goodbyes and left for home.

"I may have accidentally sent one of my vectors into Nora's head" Ruby said staring at the floor and twisting her shoe into the dirt as Qrow stared at her. "Aaaggghhhh, more work for me" Qrow said as he quickly looked over towards Nora watching them leave down the path to town. "That was dangerous Ruby, but I understand that it is hard for you to control your vectors sometimes but I'll need to keep track of her from now on" he sighed as he took the young Ruby indoors as it was beginning to get dark.

(9 Years later)

Ruby, now 13 years old, had finally gotten enough control over her vectors to carry heavier objects such as a car and got them moving fast enough to block and capture bullets. About a 2 years ago, Ren and Nora moved away to a different continent due to work for both their parents and it was hard on the three children as they had grown close to each other with Ruby secretly telling Nora and Ren about being a different species then both human and Faunus with Qrow's permission before they left and they agreed to keep it a secret. They kept in touch through their scrolls however so that they could talk to each other.

Now she was trying to unlock her semblance with plans to become a huntress applying to signal academy. "I will not let you become a huntress". Though it might be harder then she thought. "Why not, you let Yang go to signal, why can't I go" Ruby complained as her father stood in her way of sending her application into the mail. "Because I said so and I don't want you to get hurt out there, you need to be protected" he replied as Ruby quickly tried to feint around him only for him to catch her by her hood and swing her back into the house. "I will not have you going out there to learn how to fight and that's final" he said only for Yang to come up behind him and punch him with Qrow doing the same with his sword handle.

"Finally he shuts up, come on kiddo you can apply" Qrow said as Yang dragged her father into the house. "Why doesn't he want me to become a huntress?" Ruby asked as she stood in the doorway with red rose petals beginning to flow from her cape. "He's just overreacting, he's still shaken by your mothers death" Qrow said as Ruby began to speed away into the forest with a trail of rose petals following behind her. "What happened?" Tai Yang said getting up as he saw the trail of petals dispersing into the air. "You better talk to her because she just unlocked her semblance and it's a speedy one" Qrow said as he jumped into the air transforming into a crow as he flew off to find Ruby.

With Ruby, she found herself in front of a grave she had visited many times since she was younger as well as an old Beowolf standing beside the grave standing watch over it. "Hey mom, how's it going? I know dad worries about me but I really want to become a huntress like you were and protect anyone I can" she said talking to the grave as a crow landed on a tree branch above her. "I just want to use my power to help everyone but I keep hearing this voice in my head telling me to do things that dad and uncle Qrow tell me not to do. Sure it helps me out sometimes teaching me about my powers but sometimes I hear a woman's voice along with it telling me to make others like me and I don't understand what it means by that".

At this point, Tai Yang had caught up to Ruby and began to listen into the conversation. "Anyways I really want to become a huntress like you and protect the people I care about as well as helping anyone in need. I should go now so bye mom and thank you for listening to me" she said turning around to find Tai Yang as well as the Beowolf growling at him. "Sparky down, you don't want me to send zwei after you again do you because you know how many times he has beat you" she said as the Beowolf whimpered and stood down as Ruby walked towards her father.

As they stared at each other, Tai Yang sighed before he began to talk. "I give up, you can go to signal If you promise me that you will try your hardest in school" he sighed as Ruby began to cheer and accidentally slice a tree off the cliff side causing her and her father to watch in silence as a single crow got caught in the branches of the tree as it fell. "Birdie NOOOO" she said speeding towards the cliff and almost falling off if it weren't for Tai grabbing her by her cape again and holding her back. "We also are going to need to work on your semblance now that you have unlocked it" he said as a single crow flew up from the side of the cliff, covered with leaves and some sap stuck to its face as it flew and crashed into some trees. Due to being blinded by sticky leaves.

A/N – and I'm ending this chapter here. I hope you enjoyed and if you look it up the vectors are part of a diclonius's biology and not their soul. This allows Ruby to keep her speed semblance as it is part of her soul and unlike her Vectors which is like four extra limbs. Anyways if you liked reading then please follow, favorite, or review. Whichever you fancy more at this time and I encourage more people to write Elfen Lied fanfics. This is Daozang signing off.
