A RWBY STORY

"Let's see. Neon and Flint…I'm guessing they're either like Weiss originally or they're the exact opposites. My guess is opposites. No one is exactly like the Ice Queen except her sister and even she seemed warmer than our resident Elsa." Ruby said as she entered the field with Blake, causing the Cat Faunus to laugh at the reference.
"And of course it had to be the team that we kept Weiss from attacking the day before the tournament." Ruby said sarcastically as soon as she saw the other two walking towards them, one a guy holding a trumpet and the other a colorful girl on roller skates.
"I didn't know you did sarcasm Ruby." Blake commented, making sure to turn and give her leader a surprised look so that the reaper could read her lips.
"I grew up with Yang cracking jokes all day every day. Sarcasm is the body's natural response to stupidity." Ruby said with a shrug while the other two finally made it to them and looked at the two.
"Yo Red, are you going to go nuts if I play my trumpet?" The boy Ruby realized was Flint asked smirking at Ruby who rolled her eyes.
"Nope. My other side only wakes up for certain types of songs. Purely instrumentals won't even make twitch." Ruby answered immediately.
"So…like what's with the cape? The thing looks pretty old and is definitely not a good fashion choice. Oh it looks good on you, but your gothic red riding theme is so last century." The girl, Neon, said causing Ruby's spine to straighten painfully while Blake's eyes widened and the students that knew Ruby in the stands began to pale.
"The cape was a gift from my mother." Ruby said her voice steely and causing the rainbow colored girl to look amused.
"Oh your mommy made your cape? Was she blind when she did it? Black and other colors are more fitted to you, not red. Oh I know! She must be color blind! A dead person could tell that black or grey would be better on you!" Neon continued to chatter…by this point all the Beacon students are completely pale and the teachers in the announcers booth were staring in horror as Blake backed away from Ruby until she was almost on the other side of the ring.
"If you don't shut up Ruby won't need her other side, she'll kick your ass on her own." Blake said wide eyed and causing Neon and Flint to grin at each other, looks like their plan of pissing off their opponents was working.
"Ohh am I hitting a nerve? Does the little psycho want her mommy?" Neon asked mockingly before the fields showed a volcano like area on one side and a ruined city on the other.
"The battle between Blake Bel…Oh who am I kidding here? The massacre between Ruby Rose and the two dead men walking is about to begin!" Port said causing Neon and Flint to look startled while Ruby stayed still for a minute before putting up her scythe and getting into a running position.
"Blake you might want to hold onto something. Remember the food fight?" Ruby asked glancing back at her teammate who nodded and quickly scaled the ruined city to hide in the ruined building.
"3…2…1…let the massacre begin!" Port counted down while Oobleck took one glance at Ruby's face and turned to the side.
"I can't bear to watch, let me know after it's over." Oobleck requested as Ruby dashed forward towards the two at surprising speeds. In the vacuum left by her super speed run past them, the two were sucked through before they could even tell what was happening. Ruby stopped a foot away from the aura barrier, shattering it like glass with the shockwave and sending Neon and Flint sailing past her into the cement walls of the stadium. Everyone cringed or flinched at the sound of their bodies impacting the solid wall.
"Flint and Neon are out by ring out…and probably knock out as well. No…wait…they're still conscious but they're still out by ring out." Port said quickly as Ruby stood on the end of the arena and glared down at the dazed but still conscious Atlas team.
"Let's get one thing straight. I let you two off easy. My mother is dead. She died before I turned two and I have no memories of her other than of her cloak which was just like mine but white. It's a Rose family tradition for the parents to make their child a cloak on their first birthday…" Ruby said her voice dark and her eyes darker as she glared down at the two who winced at that. Okay so targeting the cloak and mother wasn't their best idea.
"The only things I have that were left by my mother are my cloak and my eye color. That's it! I let you two off lightly once as a warning. Ever talk about my mother again…well…ever wonder why the Grim Reaper was said to wield a scythe? Say one thing about my mother again and you'll see why, especially since my semblance makes it so that I can kill you both and be in a completely different kingdom the very next minute. I am much more dangerous than you think." Ruby said smirking darkly as Flint tried putting up a bravado.
"Yeah when you go nuts. You're not too strong on your own." Flint challenged, Ruby merely smirked wider and vanished from sight. She appeared in a flurry of rose petals in between Flint and Neon, a pair of small daggers held at each of their throats.
"I guarantee you…I'm much more dangerous than I look. Perhaps you need another demonstration though. Blake get out the ruined building. Wouldn't want to hit you by mistake." Ruby said turning towards the building and smirking widely as Blake jumped out the building and went to visit the volcanoes instead.
"Watch carefully now, you'll only get to see this once." Ruby said smirking as she turned away from the two, hiding her daggers so fast no one could see wear. Holding out one hand everyone watched as blood red rose petals seemed to peel off of Ruby's skin and flutter to the ground…a sharp jerk of her wrist so that her pointer finger was pointed a the building however sent all the rose petals flying towards the ruined building, embedding in the solid wood and cement. Everyone's jaws dropped when Ruby twitched her pointer finger slightly and the roses spread out, carving intricate patterns in the stone.
Once she was done, the rose petals had carved the shape of a lioness holding a thorny rose in its mouth and it's claws ready for a fight. Everyone stared at the detailed pattern for a few seconds before a wave of her hand caused the petals to embed in another slab of stone and rip it to pieces.
"That was your one and only warning. Never talk bad about my cloak and never talk bad about my mother." Ruby said her voice sounding like it was mixing into two for a mere second before returning to normal.
Blake could only say one thing as she looked at the two downed opponents.
"I tried to warn you."
