Chapter 4: Initiation day part 2
A/N: I choose to have Rubrum Rose one man and not a team, I mean seriously he's like a Force of Nature and can just stomp both Team RWBY and JNPR with just a mere thought of Telekinesis, why in the Force he needs a team anyway, and I can't just make the right OC's to fill his team, let alone the name of each OC. And also sorry for the long wait you need to endure but here it is anyway. Now let's start reading.
After Rubrum taking a long walk to the abandoned temple and also fighting some hordes of Grimm in his way, he heard some noises somehwere. That's until two familiar Force signatures behind Rubrum . It's Yang and Blake.
"Hello Yang, how's the hunt going?" Rubrum asked
"Oh, you know just 'Yanging' in there" she responded, with a small chuckle.
Behind her came an annoyed groan, Shaodw looked and saw none other than Blake herself standing behind Yang, "Must you make such annoying puns?" She asked.
"Well ladies, shall we go?" Rubrum pointing to the north.
"Yeah lets! Go" Yang says as she cheerfully walks ahead, you walk besides her looking out for Grimm. The three left and stood at the top of a high hill, the three looked down and saw a ruined circular building lined with stands, on the stands were several gold and black objects.
"Think this is it?" Yang asked as she looked, Blake remained silent and walked down the hill followed by Rubrum and Yang.
"Not the most talkative, isn't she?" Shaodw asked as he walked. Yang laughed at his observation, they all made it into the temple and looked at the relics.
"Chess pieces?" Blake looked confused.
"Some of them are missing" Yang said as she looked around.
"I guess we weren't the first ones here..." Rubrum said as he looked at one of the pieces intently, Rubrum was trying to read it with the Force to see if it had some kind of aptitude in the Force. It doesn't have any, making Rubrum a bit disappointed and confused. (Some relics...) he thought
"Well... I guess we should pick one." Blake said. Shaodw stood back as he watched the girls, look over the relics, Rubrum saw Yang staring at a horse Chess piece intently.
"How about a cute little pony." Yang said happily, as he grabbed the Chess piece and held it up in the air.
"Sure" Blake said with a smile, meanwhile Rubrum was thinking which one to pick from the chess pieces.
"Okay, I'll take this one" Rubrum said as he grabbed a black queen from the stone stand.
"Well that wasn't too hard!" Yang said cheerfully.
"Well, It's not like this place is very difficult to find" Blake said in her still, usual quiet time.
After some time, the trio all heard a loud like-girlish scream, Yang and Blake was looking up very confused, while Rubrum was trying to sense who it was with the Force.
"Some girl's in trouble! Blake did you hear that?" Yang said, Blake however was looking up very conspfused. Rubrum went beside Yang preparing ready to fight if needed.
"Blake, did you hear that? What should we d-" Yang asked but before she finished she was interrupted. Rubrum saw Blake pointing up and Rubrum and Yang looked up, and Yang went wide eyed at what she say, whereas for Shaodw he is Surprised. The trio saw none other Ruby Rose falling from the sky, her eyes went white with panic.
"Heads uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppp!" She yelled before she was hit very hard by Jauned who was apparently. Both of the kids flew into a nearby tree with a loud crash.
"Did both of your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake asked, Rubrum had also the same question on his mind.
"I-" Yang cut short by a loud roar, and several trees being knocked down. Shaodw looked over and saw a huge Ursa coming out of the forest swinging its claws around, suddenly there is a lie boom and the Grimm fall down.
"Yeehaww!" Screamed a certain ginger girl as she rolled off the Grimm.
"Aww, it's broken" she said sadly, before jumping on top of its head and looking at it.
"Nora. Please... Don't ever so that again" said of a certain male with two weapons on his hands, sounding exhausted. He looked up only to see that she had disappeared, he looked frantically before spotting her in the abandoned temple.
"Oooooo..." Nora said as she gazed at a white Chess piece, she then grabbed the chess piece and happily held it above her head.
"I'm queen of the castle, I'm queen of the castle" she said happily as she's doing some happy movements.
"Nora!" Her friend yelled.
"Hehehe, coming Ren!"she giggled, as she salutes before skipping off to him.
"Did that girl just ride on an Ursa?" Blake said sounding more confused.
"I-" Yang was once more interrupted by the sound of loud roar. From the nearby Tess, Pyrrha ran chased by a massive Deathstalker that grass and plants growing on it's bony-armor. The Grimm swiped at her with its dangerous, deadly, massive claws as she jumped and ran, " Jaune!" She called as as he ran.
"Pyrrha!" Janine's voice coming from the previous tree that Ruby landed on.
"Whoa!" Ruby exclaimed as she then jumped down ignoring Jaune's calls for help.
"Ruby?" Both Rubrum and Yang said.
"Rubrum ! Yang!" Ruby replied as she went to hug them.
"Nora!" Said as she came between . Rubrum looked over and saw Pyrrha was still running from the Grimm scorpion.
"Did she just run all the way here with a Dearhstalker on her tail?" Blake asked, Yang stood still growling angrily before violently exploding in anger.
"I can't take this anymore! Could everyone Ustashi chill out for two seconds before something crazy happen again." She yelled as her burst into flames, and her eyes turned bright red.
"Wow! Talk about a burning passion!" Shaodw exclaimed in surprise as he watched her. The boy called Ren ran over and stood beside Nora as she messed around.
"Um... Yang and Rubrum ?" Ruby said as she pointed upwards, causing the both to look up. It was none other than Weiss hanging off the claw of a massive Nevermore, "How could you leave?!" she screamed sounding terrified.
"I said jump" Ruby said, not caring if she got damaged from the fall.
"She's gonna fall" Blake said.
"She'll be fine" Ruby answered.
"She's falling" Ren deadpans.
Rubrum looked up and watched Weiss falls gracelessly to the ground, Rubrum himself debated to just let her fall or to save her. then Jaune jump out of a tree and catch her in midair.
"just dropping in?" He said as he caught her bridal style, she looked at him the down causing him to realize they were still in the air.
"Oh, my Oum..." Jaune whispered to himself as he and Weiss cling to each other, the two plummeted downwards rapidly. Jaune hit the ground first, then Weiss landed on top of him making a loud crack coming from his back, Jaune winced in pain from the fall and Weiss sitting on him.
"My hero" Weiss says sarcastically, as she checks her nails.
"My back..." Jaune moans before he collapses again. Then the group heard a loud thud and saw Pyrrha rocket towards the group and hit the ground
"Great! The gangs all here! Now we can die together!" Yang said angrily.
"Not if I can help it!" Her younger sister says, before charging the Deathstalker with a yell.
"Ruby wait!" Yang called to the two.
Ruby unfolded her beloved weapon, the Crescent Rose, perfect for her style of fighting and made with care and precision, now propelling herself towards the Deathstalker rapidly, she was hit by one of the Deathstalker's massive claws and knocked down.
"Ruby!" Rubrum looked at her with a protective manner and is now running towards at her.
"D-Do-Don't worry! Totally fine!" she called over as she stood back up.
The Deathstalker hissed at her as she shot it in the face, but the shot had no affect as the bony-armor was negating the projectiles to penetrate! Ruby turned back and ran away folding up her Crescent Rose.
"Ruby!" Yang yelled in a panic tone as she ran towards her sister. Rubrum then fuel his body with the Force as he's trying to help her twin sister. Rubrum then saw the Nevermore earlier flying above Ruby and shoot it's feathers towards the young girl, that's when Rubrum use the Force to make world around seemingly slow like snails, in reality he's not manipulating time around him, but rather he change his perception of time making the world as if it's seems slow but in reality, it's not. So he ran to his younger sister at such speeds and put her within a strong Force barrier, then he stopped using the Force to change the perception of time. Making the world around him normal in speed. Ruby was fascinated that his older brother can move so fast, but anyway he's making a form of shield as it protect them from a single Nevermore Feather.
"Ruby, Rubrum , get out of there!" Yang shouted at the duo. The two obeyed, but unfortunately it seems the Deathstalker behind them had already reach the two preparing to rip them to pieces, or is it? Just before the Deathstalker hit them with it's stinger, Weiss intervened, she froze the tail in place with an ice tune while Rubrum covered Ruby with a Force barrier.
"Your are so childish" Weiss said.
"Weiss" Ruby asked when she saw her partner.
"And dim witted, and hyperactive. And don't even get me on your fighting style." Weiss scolded.
"And I suppose I can be a bit..." She continued
"Bitchy?" Rubrum trying to finish her statement with a bit of humor, in which made Weiss glare at him.
"...Well, difficult. But if we're going to do this we're going to have to do this together. So if you quit trying to show off I'll... Be nicer" Weiss said looking at Ruby.
"I'm not trying to show off. I want you to know I can do this" Ruby replied back in defense
"Your fine" Weiss said as she walked away.
Ruby closed her eyes and whispered to herself "Normal knees..." She then stood up and gasped when she saw the Deathstalker trapped in the ice, trying to get it's tail freed. Yang ran over and wrapped both Ruby and Rubrum in a massive hug.
"I'm so glad that you're both okay!" She said, very relieved. The moment was cut short by the Nevermore roaring out above the ground, the three ran back to the group. After that Jaune pointed up towards the Nevermore.
"Guys, that's thing is circling back. What are we gonna do?" He asked scarily.
"Look there's no sense in dilly-dallying. Our objective is right in front of us" Weiss said indicating the remaining chess pieces.
"She's right, our mission is to grab an artifact and make it back to the cliffs. There's no point in fighting these things." Ruby said, the rest of the group agreed with her, Rubrum however felt an overwhelming sensation to fight the Deathstalker.
"Run and live, That is an idea I can get behind" Jaune said, and that was the last straw for Rubrum .
Rubrum turned away and take his two lightsabers looking at the huge Grimm. As he did this Ruby and Jaune went and picked up their pieces. The rest of the group turned and looked towards him as they heard his two light sabers ignite blue blades out of the silver cylinder, they saw him slowly walking towards the Deathstalker.
"Rubrum ! What are you doing!?" Ruby said in a panicked tone, as he approached the beast as the ice began cracking and its stinger is freed from the ice. Rubrum looked at the massive Grimm with no fear but with total readiness to fight the black and white monster.
"Finishing this Grimm off..." Rubrum answered his younger twin sister. Then Rubrum move at the beast at such speed that optically made him look a line of blur, then he throw both of his lightsaber at the stinger at such incredible speeds and cut it off dropping the stinger to the Deathstalker's head. Both lightsabers were now back at his both hands, he procedded to cut off both of the Deathstalker's claws in which he did perfectly. After that he jumped to the Grimm's head then he thrust both of his lightsaber to the Deathstalker's head, which made the Grimm screech very loudly, but he was not done yet. He gather around the Omnipresent Force to create deadly amount of Force lightning in which took the life of the Grimm.
And he did all of this in just under ten seconds. It the made the entire group watching him being awed and totally impressed before him.
"What?" Rubrum asked nonchalant.
"That. Was. AWESOME!" Ruby yelled, Rubrum looked at her with a smile, happy to see that she is excited. Blake looked at him wide eyed, Yang has a smirk on her face, Ren is stil on his impassive face but had a small smile, Nora looked at the silver-eye boy with amazement, Jaune was all slack jawed at him, while Pyrrha looked at him with a wide smile. But for Weiss she's partially mad and upset.
"What were you thinking?!" Weiss yelled getting on his face.
"I was thinking that the Grimm was an easy prey, and killing it was the best way to stop it from chasing after us" Rubrum stated simply.
Weiss let out an exasperated breath before turning away, she knew she couldn't fault his logic after showing a bit of his power, but was upset that he managed to kill it alone in about ten seconds. She was going to have a word with her partner's twin brother after the initiation.
"Well' let's go" Rubynsaid as the Nevermore flew past again. The others followed her. Rubrum swiftly followed her just like the rest but without using the Force. The group ran through the forest until they reached another hill with ruins around it, the group ran up the hill and saw ruined towers and bridges, however the giant Nevermore circling was above the abandoned, old structures. The whole group took cover and watched the giant bird fly down and land in the old tower, and it let out a loud screech as it look,Ed down at the group, staring at them.
"Well that's great" Yang said. Then the group heard something coming from the forest, the group looked where is the source only to see a another massive Deathstalker crashing through the forest!
"Oh man, run!" Jaune yelled as everyone ran, the Nevermore took off into the air again, readying another attack to the group.
"Nora, distract it!" Ren said as he ran.
Nora ran out dodging the Nevermore's feathers before pulling out her Magnhild and firing at the bird. The projectile let off bright pink explosions around the Nevermoer making it fly away, the new Deathstalker closed in on Nora rapidly but was intercepted by Blake and Ren while Weiss grabbed Nora and took her to safety. Blake and Ren then retreated from the Deathstalker, Pyrrha turned back switch in her weapon into a rifle and shot at the large Grimm, Ren then fired his twin SMG's at the Deathstalker while Blake jumped away.
Rubrum and the others ran across the bridge the Deathstalker unable to follow them as the bridge was too narrow for the scorpion-like Grimm. However the Nevermore returned and fly right towards the bridge.
"Incoming!" Rubrum yelled before the Grimm plowed through the bridge, He use the Force to streghten his jumping power and landed next to Pyrrha, Ren, and Blake as they fought the took a hard hit and slammed into the bridge, Rubrum knelt down and picked her up while Rem charge towards the Deathstalker. Rubrum gathered some lightning in his hands and shocked the creature, it made the beast screamed in pain but not outright killing it. Then Rubrum heard a loud smash and turned to see Nora and Jaune come flying over, Jaune somersaulting through the air while Nora seemed comfortably riding on her giant hammer-grenade launcher.
"Ah, smash!" She yelled as she mad am overhead strike on the Deathstalker's armored head, the tail arched to hit Nora but an explosion from the hammer made the scorpion's head slam into the ground, it's strike is missing Nora but to cause her to slide back towards Rubrum and Blake. The two managed to jump out of the way. The two then swung towards the Nevermore. Rubrum landed on the Nevermore's back while Blake attacked its face, the both jumped off the beast on the ruined tower alongside with Ruby, Yang and Weiss.
"It's tougher than it looks!" Blake said
"Then let's hit it with anything we've got!" Yang said as she reloads her gauntlets.
Rubrum gathered more Force Energy preparing to fight the massive Nevermore. The Nevermore screeched as it flew towards the five, Ruby unfurled her Crescent Rose into it's sniper/scythe form, and Blake's Gambol Shroud morphed into a handgun, Weiss's Myrtenaster and glowed ice blue while Shadoe's hand crackled with electricity produced by using the Force.
The entire group unleashed a barrage against the Nevermore slightly disrupting it's flight path, causing it miss the group of five and crash into the lower section of the tower making it crumble and fal, the group ran fast as possible to the top for safety. Rubrum then landed beside Yang and follow her towards the pilar, she jumped and started throwing punches launching fiery projectiles from her Ember Celica at the Nevermore, while Rubrum stood below shooting bolts of Force Lightning at the massive Nevermore. Shaodw then heard a loud crash coming out of nowhere and decided look over to see that the new Deathstalker is falling into the black abyss, while Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha and Ren were safely on the other watching him and the group fighting as they stood back.
Rubrum turned his attention back into the Nevermore and shot more bolts of Force Lightning at it, Yang then fired a shot that it hit directly in the face making it turn and fly towards her, Rubrum watched as the beast opened its mouth and Yang jumped herself inside the huge Nevermore's beak.
She then cocked her fist back and fired her weapon inside it's throat, "I! Hope! You're, Hung-ry!"" She yelled as she shot more into the Grimm's mouth. Yang then jumped out of the Nevermore's mouth and landed on another abandoned bridge, as she did this, so the Nevermore crashed into the cliff side before standing on a ledge and screeching loudly.
Blake tossed her Gambol Shroud to Yang who caught it, they then stretched the ribbon across two pillars as Ruby jumped up using her scythe's gun mode, as she did this Weiss summoned a white glyph which turned black she then moved it and held Ruby in place with the rune.
"Of course you would come up with this idea" Weiss said
"Think, you can make the shot?" Ruby asked, not taking her eyes off the Nevermore
"Hmph, can I?" Weiss said confidently.
"Can-" Ruby began to ask, not picking up on Weiss' bravado.
"Of course I can!" She said indignantly.
The Glyph turned red and she was launched towards to the Nevermore occasionally firing her sniper to give more airtime. She then slammed into the Nevermore's neck slamming it back into the cliff side, Ruby landing in her feet as Weiss summed a path of White Glyphs, Ruby then ran up to the Clif dragging the Nevermore begins her by the throat so Crescent Rose, she let out a fierce yell as she neared the top of the cliff reaching a loud end when she reached to the top of the cliff, she sliced the Nevermore's head clean off.
The Nevermore's headless corpse tumbled down into the black abyss as Rubrum and the rest looking at Ruby Rose with new found respect. Ruby then walk to the edge of the cliff her red clock fluttering in the breeze as rose petals flew out, Rubrum stood beside Weiss, Blake jumped down beside you as Yang walked over with a proud smile.
"Well, that's was a thing" Yang said
Timeskip to the making of Teams
"Russel Thrush. Cardin Winchester. Dove Bronzewing. Sky Lark. The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward you will work together as... Team CRDL. Lead by Cardin Winchester" Ozpin said as the said first-year students as they stood before him.
"Jaune Arc. Lie Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white room pieces. From this day forward, you will work as... Team JNPR. Lead by Jaune Arc" Ozpin said. Jaune looked surprised at his role of being the leader of the team, however the three other members of the team seems overjoyed at his role, Pyrrha gave him a playful punch in the arm that knocked him down earning a Rouen of laughter from the gathered students.
"And finally Blake Belladonna. Ruby Rose. Weiss Schnee. And Yang Xiao Long. The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward. You will work as... Team RWBY. Lead by Ruby Rose" Ozpin said, Thai got a look of shock from Weiss. Well for Rubrum , he gave a smile at the role his little sister is given.
"I'm so proud of you!" Yang said giving her sister a bear hug .
"Now there is one more piece to attend to, Mister Rose step forward if you please" Ozpin orders the boy as team RWBY walked off the stage.
"You retrieved the black queen piece, yet you did not find a partner and not have other three people with the same chess pieces, normally that would means to expel you from this academy" the old man said, Rubrum felt some disappointment mainly because it's to escape his old, past life to start a new one, but not a boring one. He heard Ruby and Yang hasp in fear and sadness that their recently reunited family member would have to leave the academy, even Wiess and Balke felt a little sad, so did team JNPR.
"However, your abilities and skills are far too valuable to pass up, Moster Rose" he said as he played footages of Rubrum killing hordes of small Grimm with ease with his two swords of blue blades that cut them like paper tissue, slaying a Deathstalker in just about ten seconds, and his strange semblance to shoot silver lightning capable of disintegrating multiple Weak Grimm at once. Then heard some amazement form the audience.
"Did you see how easily he killed those Beowolves?"
"Wow! He can shoot silver lightning from his hands!"
"What kind of swords are those!?"
"So this one time, we shall make an exception to the normal rules, and allow you to remain at Beacon academy as it's very first one man team" Ozpin said, Rubrum is happy that he can finally stay here. Rubrum were then suddenly tackled into a hug by Ruby and Yang, Blake stood back who a small smile on her face and Weiss looked on with her usual stern face.
"Yay! Older brother gets to stay at Beacon!" Ruby squealed as she hugged tighter.
"Congratualtions Rubrum !" Yang said slapping his back.
"I'm glad you'll be staying at Beacon, Rubrum " Blake said.
"You know, I'm still waiting for that explanation on you killing that Deathstalker! Your'ee going to show me right now. Right Now!" Weiss said, making him sweat drop.
"Uh... Yeah, so you mind if we do that tomorrow? It's not the right time right now" Rubrum said knowing that if he tells on how he do that he needed to create a effective lie to make sure no one know his dark past, but there's no time for that. Then he remembered that he needed to ask Ozpin in which room he's staying.
"Where exactly am I staying, Ozpin?" He asked.
"You will be stay in your own room, along with your thing" Ozpin answered, Glynda walked forward and handed him the key to his dorm.
"Thank you Ozpin and Glynda" Rubrum said as he turned and walked away followed by both team RWBY and JNPR to their dorms on an quitely manner. After some walking. Ruby Rose had overwhelming urge to seeing his twin brother's weapons again
"Rubrum ! Rubrum ! Can you please show us your light sabers again? Pleeeeease?" Ruby asked giving him her best puppy dog eyes. This caught everyone's attention, they were pretty curious about his weapon, yes they did see it in action during the fight with the Deathstalker but we're still interested in seeing it up close.
"Very well, then" He said as he remove a single of his light saber from his belt and igniting it, the two teams looked at the glowing blue blade in wonder.
Ruby instantly went complete fanfare over the blade ignites, Weiss looked at it with jealously, Yang looked at it wide eyed, Blake summed hypnotized by the blue glowing blade, Jaune looked at it with wonder along with Nora who zipped around questions so fast that it was barely understandable to a normal human. Meanwhile Pyrrha and Ren stood back with smile son their faces at their friend's reactions, Rubrum eventually extinguished the blue blade of his Lightsaber and continued walking towards to his dorm.
After some walking, Rubrum walk past both team RWBY and JNPR's dorms and bud them good night, he walked a little further and stopped in front of the door and unlocked with his key, inside was a spacious room with a single bed with a bit of simple furtinure, a bathroom installed, and a bunch of crates that contain his stuff from his ship, the Rogue Shadow
(I guess Ozpin had faith in my success) he thought with a smile
"Hmph... this seems a bug, simple, took. In which I appreciated for its simplicity, I'm going decorate the room though" Rubrum said as he inspect the simple dorm in which he owned for now.
"Meh, I'll do that tomorrow, for now I'm going to get some rest" As Rubrum lay down on the bed and in just dew minutes later, he had totally fall asleep.
A/N: For people wondering why his Force Lightning is color silver, not like the regular blue or sometimes purple, it's because I have something special coming right up in the far future. And the real reason why this took long to write, It's that's because I lack motivation and second the Internet on the computer totally sucks, but it seems good on the smartphone or a tablet, So I have to type on thee tablet which is totally a pain on the ass and it's more slow to type. If you have any suggestions just review or something. But anyway goodbye, dear readers.
