A/N Heyo guys Im posting another chapter way sooner than I expected to, cool huh.

Sorry for the sporadic posting, sometimes I just dont have the motivation to post, sometimes I have a headache or school, so I dont think it will ever be planned.

Keep it coming with the reviews tho, no matter what type it keeps me motivated that people are actually reading my drivel.

Without further ado, I give you, Shifted Rose: Roses Fall

Ruby thoughts: *all your bases are belong to us*

DISCLAIMER: in case it wasnt clear, I dont own RWBY, it belongs to rooster teeth, and Monty Oum, may he rest in peace.

Ruby was frantically running up the Beacon Tower as the massive Grimm Wyvern flew overhead sending out hundreds upon hundreds of lesser Grimm onto the decrepit city of Vale.

As she made it to the top she could only watch wide eyed in fear as Cinder drew back a glass bow and arrow and released it into the heart of one Pyrrha Nikos.

"PYYYRRHHAAA"

The silver-eyed warrior collapsed onto her knees as Pyrrhas body crumbled into dust and was swept away into the wind.

"Why, if it is isnt the little kingpin herself, I have to thank you, you know, if it wasn't for you I never would have gotten the powers of the fall maiden. Good job, Ruuu~bbyy"

Silence. Silence that was deafening in its own way, slowly Ruby got to her feet with her eyes shielded by her hair, but still ever silent, the silence that proceeds the storm.

Cinder was smirking at the clearly shaken Ruby with a malicious glee, thinking to have finally broken the irritating scythe-wielder.

But she soon lost her smirk and leapt back as a shining silver light started to grow from the grieving girl.

When she looked up, her eyes were devoid of emotion or empathy, even as her eyes leaked tears of despair because of what she had brought upon her friends and the world, the only thing that kept her from completely losing herself, was the thought of her mother-figure, and sister, Yang. she knew that she would no what to do, and so she set her rage towards the person who caused the grief she now was suffering.

With a flash of silver power the Grimm Wyvern Froze in its place behind the fall witch, and the witch herself, fell, screaming as her eyes was erased from existance along with her left arm.

"You bitch!"

With a shriek the power of fall gathered around the corrupted maiden, and condensed before exploding outward launching debris and Ruby off the tower.

"AHHHH!"

With a scream of pain a metal tooth off of a broken cog embedded itself into one of Ruby's beautifull silver eyes, half blinding her.

As she fell towards the ground Ruby caught sight of Roman and Neo, atop the atlesian command ship, and she activated her semblance and launched herself towards them.

She land with a 'thud' and rolled along the top of the ship, coming to a stop in front of a worried Roman and Neo.

"Red!" A startled cry came from Roman as he and Neo ran up to the collapsed and trembling red-head.

"Red, what happen- Holy-" he started to say but was interrupted when she looked up at him with a single tearful silver eye, as the other leaked blood in its blinded state.

Neo grabbed onto Ruby and lifted her head onto her lap and checked her over for any other obvious injuries before focusing on the damaged eye.

"D-did you kn-know this is how it w-was gonna h-happen." the young warrior asked through choked tears.

Neo and Roman glanced at each other, and as Roman went to speak he noticed a shadow fall over them and looked up.

"Neo! Red! Watch out!" a Grimm Gryphon was dive bombing directly onto the two girls, but before it could hit them they were shoved into the open sky and Neo had just enough time to open her parasol so save them from falling, for them to look back to where they were shoved from.

'CRUNCH'

They could only watch in horror as the Gryphon Pierced itself through the sheet metal of the hull of the ship swallowing Roman whole.

"ROOOOMMMMMAAAAANNN!"

Once they had landed a ways away in the forest outside of a ruined Vale, they collapsed crying into one another's arms.

Neo was devastated, losing the one she saw as a father right before her eyes, the only one other than Ruby to ever see potential in her.

Ruby, Ruby was shattered, no one thing caused her tears to fall, so many friends dying in front of her over a short amount of time.

"It- it wasn't supposed to be l-like this." she choked out. "We were s-supposed to s-save everyone."

Neo just hugged her close to her chest rubbing her back as she cried along with Ruby.

A week later…..

Two figures wearing cloaks walked through a forest towards a lone cabin.

'Are you sure this is a good idea?' on of the figures signs.

"Don't worry Neo, Yang will know what to do, she always knows what to do."

Neo just gave her partner a skeptical look, but didn't push the issue.

As they neared the edge of the forest, Ruby told Neo to stay in the trees as she went on ahead. Neo looked like she wanted to argue, but she knew that the last time she had met Yang hadn't been on the best terms so she relented.

So Ruby entered the cabin alone. As the minutes dragged on, Neo grew ever more worried, and right as she had made up her mind to go into the cabin, a blur of red, and tinted black rose petals shot out the door in a different direction from her. In her worry the ice-cream girl quickly followed.

Moments before, in the cabin…

Yang was slouched on her bed, looking at her stump of an arm with a blank expression, no thoughts ran through her mind only emptiness.

'Crreeaakk'

As the wooden door open she made no move to acknowledge the presence that slowly entered the room.

"Yang?" a timid voice came from the figure.

When she heard the voice her eyes hardened, and crimson started leaking its way into her irises.

"Is it true?" was the hard question that came from the yellow haired brute.

"I-I-I'm, S-s-sorry, Y-yang."

A scoff "your sorry, your sorry are you. You better be sorry, Weiss was taken by her father, Blake ran, Pyrrha is dead, I LOST MY ARM, yah, you better be sorry."

Ruby flinched as tears began flowing from her eyes and she started to tremble.

"I-I didn't M-mean for th-this to h-happ-"

"WHAT DID YOU MEAN TO HAPPEN THAN RUBY!"

Another flinch and the trembles grew and the sniffling became worse.

"You know, when Jaune heard what happened. He wanted to kill you" another Flinch

"He said that you weren't you, that you were a monster, and that a hunter kills monsters, and you know the worst part, I think he might have been right, you are a monster."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Yang's crimson faded and her eyes widened, as she remembered growing up with the sweet little red hooded girl, tears started welling up, and she went to speak but was interrupted by the eerily still cloaked girl who was shaking moments before.

"Your right Yang." now it was Yangs turn to flinch "I am a monster."

The door opened and Yang jolted to action and sat up and asked. "Where are you going?"

"Don't worry Yang, I'm going to do what hunters are supposed to do"

Yang's eyes widened again and she coughed out. "What do you mean."

Ruby turned to look at her with a sad smile and broken eyes, that almost caused Yang to collapse in guilt right then and there.

"I'm going to kill the monster." with that she vanished in a flash of red and black roses, leaving a fumbling Yang behind. As she watched her sister's roses fade away, Yang jerked, mind processing, realizing what Ruby had meant before jumping up from the bed and bolting to the door.

"WAIT!"

A/N Heyo sorry for the kinda short post but don't worry I'll be sure to post the next chapter within the next week or so.

I'm definitely enjoying writing this, and I hope that you all are too.

Anyway, the main problem I see for the future is once I'm done writing based on the current storyline I might have to take a hiatus for season 6 which is coming out in the 5 days.

That shouldn't be for another couple chapters though so it shouldn't be to much of a problem or very long either.
