Ren was strolling down the halls of Beacon after his morning walk around campus. This was the only time he had peace during the day. He only did these stroll when Nora was sleeping or at least preoccupied with something that couldn't end up with her destroying something by accident. He loved Nora no one doubted that but, a person can only handle her erratic personality for so long before you need a break from it for an hour. Ren started to remember how hyper Nora was when she younger. "How did her parents deal with her for so long?" Ren wonder as he reached his dorm.

Ren examined the room to find that Nora was stilling sleeping and that Pyrrha was working on Dust Aura relations. It was based on how dust can have bad reactions if they are handled with the opposite aura type. This was rare amongst trained hunters and huntresses but, very common amongst ones in training. If a person has an aura type and chose the opposite dust crystal and used it bare handed there would be some blowback. Yang decided to test this theory and decided to melt an ice dust crystal with her aura. The result was yang getting soaked in water while Jaune got first degree burns from scolding hot water that formed as a result. If Jaune didn't have a great healing aura he would be still in the infirmary.

Nora was stilling sleeping since it was Sunday and the earliest that she would be up was noon. It would take something loud like smashing symbols together to wake her. That was one of Nora's best qualities that she had. Other than her perkiness and impulsive attitude at he had learned to love.

"Hey do you where Jaune went? It is time for his agility training." Ren had been training Jaune in agility since he never learned how to land during initiation and other skills that were needed that he didn't perform well enough. Since Cardin everyone had been training him in what they could specialize. Pyrrha had been teaching him fighting techniques since her weapons were similar to his and Nora taught him how to fight some grimm bare handed. It was risky but this was something he would need to learn in case he was caught without his weapons.

Pyrrha didn't pay attention until she realized he was actually in the room. "Oh, Ren when did you get here?" Pyrrha pulled out her ear plugs out and placed them onto the table. She was a light sleeper since her trainer test her in the middle of the night by placing a bowl of sugar above her head with an egg timer with five seconds set. If she heard the ticking she would be able to move out of the way in time. After that she would wake up more easily now that she had roommate that she had to live with. After a week she had enough waking up in the middle of the night and bought earplugs. She often forgotten that they were on half the time and keep them until she noticed she didn't hear anything.

"Do you know where Jaune is?" Ren asked again knowing that she would now hear him.

"Oh I think he went to next door to team RWBY's for something." Pyrrha finishes her work and getting ready for practice in the court yard in the back for long range training." Hope you and Jaune have a good training session." She waves as she leaves for the for the court yard.

Ren looks at Nora pondering if he should wake her up and make her breakfast and get Jaune later. He decides against it since it was already eleven and by the time she would be fully awake and him being done with cooking it would lunch by that time." Might as well let her sleep." Ren thought as he headed for the door.

Ren walked next door to the team RWBY dorm. He knocked on the door waiting for someone to answer the door. He could hear commotion within the dorm room no doubt between Yang and Weiss or Blake and Weiss or more possibly between Ruby and Weiss. Weiss had a habit of causing or being a part of most of the conflicts in the team. Ever since they hooked up a week ago Yang had been teasing them about "How her little sister has grown up at least where it counts." Yang usually ran into the JNPR dorm right after hiding from Ruby and crescent Rose for an hour until she had calmed down or in the rare instances that Ren had made cookies and Nora was in the mood to share which was increasing ever since they began dating and rooming together. Ren decided to knock on the door again but there was still no answer , Ren sighed and hung his head in defeat as if no one was going to answer he can schedule Jaune to train twice as long the second he finds him.

Then he noticed a splatter going under the door. Most people would have dismissed it since it matched the color of the hall but, since he was close enough to the door he was able to notice the color deviation in the reds. Ren decided to investigate and dabbed his finger in the substance. It felt sticky like syrup and was drying turning dark to blackish red. Then he felt his blood freeze when he recognized what he had found. It was blood and with the amount that was very, very slowly seeping through the door it was a matter of life and death. He could run and get help but everyone or someone could be dying inside.

"I have to do this." Ren gets ready to break the door down just before he does he sends a timed message to Nora in ten minutes an alarm the Ren placed in her scroll in case he was running late and couldn't reach her in time to wake her up he could send it to her scroll would play him yelling at Nora to wake up. Ren backs up and charges to the door breaking it from the frame. Ren rolled in and stood in a ready position when he heard.

"Why do you want to leave Blakey? The fun is about to begin anyway." Seeing Ruby atop Blake how was bound to the bed post with blood cover rope with a crimson color slowly turning darker with every passing moment. He heard the hissing of the knife pressing into Blake skin as the heat difference caused her to be burned. Then, Ren looked around the room to see the most horrid thing that can only be described as a blood massacre of bodies. He felt like buckling over and throwing up for seeing all this. But he couldn't like his body refused itself the action.

He soon saw a more horrible sight that he missed before. A human head dyed red. But he could make out who it was by its blue eyes. It was Jaune's decapitate head lying on the ground. Ren could see the inside of his throat at the base of the head. The body was against a dresser headless, covered in its own blood from the arteries that have stopped gushing blood from its corpse. His chest plate didn't even show his family crest anymore, all it was is a blackish red spot.

Ren turned his head away from the body hoping he would find an empty side of the room. He was wrong; oh so terribly wrong. This time it was Weiss's body. Or rather, what was left of her body with a giant slash down her midsection. Her body was riddled with fresh scars and cut that were freshly healed. Then he saw the empty chest cavity. Everything but her spine and lungs were removed from her. Some had been cut when they ripped out; none of them were even connected to her anymore. Ren saw her heart had been spilt in two halves in front of a cracked picture of her team. They seemed so happy but what happened to make Ruby the butcher of her own team.

Ren saw long, blonde hair hanging from the top bunk next to where Ruby was. He could only guess that it had to be Yang. He didn't even want to know what she did to her to sister. She had killed and dismembered everyone she knew so far. Jaune, Weiss, Yang and now possibly Blake was going to be killed. The he heard the voice of the butcher that was the cause of all this.

'If only Yang and Blake would a minded their own business. Yang would be alive and Weiss could have been beautiful with those scars. But, Jaune just had to barge in in here and start asking question. I really didn't want any of this. All I wanted to do is make Weiss more beautiful than she already was." Ruby stated with a cold demeanor as she got up from Blake who had fearful tears in her eyes as she looks at him.

Ren felt an unknown rage overcome him. His calm, cool demeanor had completely vanished the second he heard no remorse, no regret when she recounted the events. "Ruby!" That name was the only thing that he could muster in his rage.

Ren charges Ruby deploying Stormflowers from his sleeves ready to kill her in that instance. With the help of her semblance she dodged his attack and moved to the other side of the room. She wasn't surprised by his rage. Though she thought this was another distraction that she needed to get rid of to get to her prize.

"Oh Ren, why are you trying to stop Blake from becoming beautiful?" Ruby asks the question as she grabs Crescent rose. Readying Crescent rose as she speeds towards Ren aiming to cut his head clean off and return to Blake. Ren wide eyed as the miniature reaper shot towards him in a burst in speed, scythe blade already within inches of his neck. With a burst of his own aura he increases the reflexes of his body to avoid it by driving and rolling to safety. Crescent Rose cut through the curtains on the window that she had repaired on the first day of classes. Ren readied himself once again but also readying his aura in small amounts to adjust the difference of speeds between them.

"I'm not dying that easily." Ren leaps to get in closer to where Stormflowers would be more effective. Stormflowers connect with Crescent Rose with a loud clash of steel. Ren had the advantage of being able to shoot her a close range while he can try to fight Crescent Rose with his other hand. Ruby pushed with the full weight of Crescent Rose forcing Ren to cross Stormflowers in an x fashion. The weight of Crescent Rose was forcing him to hold the defensive stance because if he moved one of his weapons out of position it would be the end of him.

Ren started to feel Ruby's defense weaken as she began to back up to the wall. He pushed harder and tried to move Stormflowers into a shooting position but, has soon as he tried to Ruby retaliated and pushed Crescent Rose harder forcing him to block once again. This continued as Ruby was nearing a wall. That is when she stuck.

Ruby kicked off the wall and with the help of her semblance and aura she was able to overpower him and sent him tumbling backwards. He went with the momentum of it a push and was able to get on his feet fast enough to avoid another swipe of Crescent Rose. It passed through the gap between Weiss's and Ruby but, scaring Blake as she watched it passed over her head. She watched intently as her fate was in the hands of Ren and victory over her former leader and killer of her team.

Ren had to find a way to end this. They were equal matched so far but he didn't know if she was trying to getting a false sense of security or that this was actually her limit and they were equals in battle. That thought would be answered at the end of this battle. Ruby seemed like she was fatigued form the fighting or at least faking it. Ren aimed Stormflowers at Ruby ready to fire when she grabbed black dust from her holster and threw it in the air.

"I would do anything to hasty Ren. " She knew that Black dust was basically gun powder. One spark from a bullet on steel or the combustion of firing of his weapon would cause the room to explode. At the same moment she wouldn't be able to shoot Crescent Rose amidst all the dust in the air either. This had forced a stalemate now that any spark will kill them. Or rather what he thought was the case. Ren saw Ruby move toward the bed and grabs something off the floor. It was the knife.

"Oh shit!" Ren ran towards Blake and cut her loose and he knew what she was going to do. Ruby threw the knife at him as he jumped out the window Blake in arms. The knife caught on fire as the red dust reignited with the friction of the air. The dorm exploded in a puff of red flames and soon only black smoke came from the room.

Ren had no words as he looked at the smoking remnants of what used to be the team RWBY dorm. Even with all the insanity that she had shown him with the dismembered bodies, scarring her friends for some sick perverse pleasure and trying acting like that was all normal; he would have never thought she would actually blow herself up in a fiery explosion. Ren looked to Blake to see that she was in shock, tears in her eyes covering herself since Ruby had stripped her down to her naked form.

"It's ok. It's over." Ren sighed to himself and Blake as he looked at the smoking remains of the room. Ren took of his green jacket and handed it to Blake for clothing until he gets her back to the team JNPR dorm. Ren went over scenarios of how to tell Pyrrha, Nora and Velvet that Jaune was gone. None of them had a good ending but, what did he expect they now had lost their leader and one of the kindest people in Beacon to some psychopath with a scythe. Ren began to carry Blake to Beacon until he saw something he didn't want to believe.

A black figure jumped out of the smoke and landed in front of them. The figure had a black hood and carried its scythe on its back. "Come on Blakey." The figure stood smile across it face its chin burned from the explosion but already healed. The figure removed its hood to reveal it was Ruby's face covered in cuts and fresh scars from wooden shrapnel of the floor boards and anything else that had exploded and burns from the initial flames from the blast.

"Thank you Ren. Because of you I'm no look amazing." Ruby had an elated smile on her face as she grabbed Crescent Rose from her back." Now why don't we do the same for Blake?" Ruby walked towards Blake as she pulls down her now black hood only showing her smile.

"Ruby I'm not going to let you hurt her any more than you already did." Ren stands ready to fight her once and for all. Ren takes a deep breath feeling a stabbing pain, seeing stars in his vision as he chokes for his breath. He broke one of his ribs from the fall." Fuck I have to end this quick. I can't use my aura to heal myself and fight someone like her." Ren labored breathing worried Blake as she saw he was in bad in bad condition while Ruby had superficial wounds.

"This, this could be the end of me." That thought rang through Blake head as she watched two of her friends fight for her life against each other.

"You made this harder than it had to be Ren. Now because my rooms destroyed I have to use to use your room. I hope Nora and Pyrrha don't give me any trouble. Maybe I could even give them a makeover afterwards." Ruby lost her smile in the beginning but it returned in force as the smile as she looked like a smiling reaper.

"Like Hell you will!" Ren screamed as he aimed at Ruby and began to fire with Stormflowers. She blocked every shot by twirling Crescent Rose. Soon Ren heard the clicking that signaled he needed to reload them. The problem was that he had no more clips on him, he was supposed to be training Jaune not fighting a scar crazed Ruby. He needed to fight close range to end this while she had the advantage of long range now.

Ruby aimed Crescent Rose at Ren and fired destroying a growing tree that had just been planted. Ren took this as a signal to run as fast as can. A barrage of bullets came speeding towards him. He avoided them all with burst of aura at the time he heard her loading another bullet into the camber. This was draining him slowly but he had to keep moving to survive. Then he felt something go through the front of his leg. Ruby had shot him with a lower caliber bullet that had been modified to be used by Crescent Rose.

"Damn it." He tried to move but his leg didn't move until he used more of his aura into his leg healing the wound so he was losing as much blood and was able to move it. Then he saw her towering over him.

"This is where it ends." Ruby lifts Crescent Rose ready to strike until everyone heard someone one scream. "Nora smash!" Ruby jumps back avoiding an explosion that would have been still there. It was Nora with Magnhild in hand.

"Ruby I'm going to break your legs, arms and spine!" Nora was enraged that Ruby had hurt Ren. Magnhild changed to in grenade launcher form and began shooting. Ruby was on the defensive avoid the trail of explosions caused by the grenades. Then Ruby stopped and faced Nora and screamed batters up!" and hit back one of them back at Nora. The grenade was sent flying towards Nora and exploded. Nora was sent flying back and used her aura until she smashed through two trees and was render unconscious by a metal light post.

"Nora!" Ren looked back to see he passed out in front of the light post. Ruby used that opportunity and went to strike Ren. He blocked he initial strike only to lose Stormflowers in the process. Ren though this was the end of him until he heard Blake scream out.

"Ren catch!" he threw Gambol Shroud in hopes it would reach him. It didn't Ruby batted it away from him.

"No, no, no." Ruby just looked at Ren ready to finish him off. Crescent Rose came thundering down like an axe until she felt resistance under Crescent Rose. Ren had blocked with Gambol Shroud. Ren had used his semblance with affected the wind in very small amounts. By affecting the wind he was able to grab the ribbon of Gambol Shroud and pull it towards him. He unsheathed Gambol Shroud and transforms into gun mode by hitting the trigger for the transformation under the guard.

"I'm sorry Ruby but this is how it truly ends." Ren aims and fires into Ruby's chest. Ren's face is splattered in blood of his former friend. Ruby had fallen back lying on the ground in tears.

"Why Ren I just wanted to make them beautiful." Ruby sobbed as she looked into the sky her face turning paler and paler. She had stopped breathing soon after.

People had started coming from Beacon's hall see the destruction that formed from the battle. Everyone wonder what happened, seeing Ruby dead, Blake half-naked and Ren covered in blood. After hours of investigation and explaining what happened Ozpin decided that Ren would be the next leader of team JNPR and Blake was to join them. Telling Pyrrha and Velvet was the hardest thing he had to tell Pyrrha was in denial at first, anger, and soon acceptance. Velvet was just quiet only showing tears. Blake and Pyrrha consoled her.

After the whole ordeal people were scared of what was left of the team RWBY dorm. People say that the room was haunted by Ruby spirit and if you entered it would be tortured like Blake and Weiss were. Blake refused to acknowledge the dorm anymore. That day scarred everyone for the rest of their lives, but not as much as Ren and Blake as they saw the horrors and now dream of it every night. In the end Ruby got what she wanted a perfect scar, one that would never heal.
