Rwby Graduation,
-Chapter Start-
[ Ruby's Office]
Ruby sighed as she got her coffee and looked at the screen hoping to god it would be either just a hoax or, something else so she didn't have to deal with that shit. Was that so much to must to ask for,
Apparently it was seeing as she switched the program and saw the same report,
Breaking news: 'Vacoule Dust mine accident, largest Rock slide in schnee quarry, All entrance's blocked Unknown time before Mines reopen.'
"Fuck." Ruby said as she took a sip of coffee,
She switched to other stations to see what the rest of the world is thinking of this,
The answer. pure chaos.
" Dust prices have just spiked through the roof as the Stocks have plummeted 67%." The anchorman said, "-now without the dust from the quarry what are we to do!? HUH RUBY WHAT ARE WE TO DO!?" A angry civilian roared as he gathered an angry mob against her saying it was her fault, Ruby sighed ' of course the council would find a way to put the blame on me.' Ruby thought. Suddenly she had an idea. Right as the door rang, "enter." Ruby said as she looked to the window and saw her team run in by the reflection.
"Ah just who I wanted to see." Ruby said as she put her mug down. " so you've heard the news?" Yang asked, " correct, now Weiss I'm sending you directly to Mantel to direct the Schnee dust company, insure everyone has enough dust that they need, Yang, go to Vacoul and see if you cannot find a way into the quarry, if not Find out what caused this incident, Blake go with her." Ruby said, as she turned back around. "What about you?" Yang asked, "I have to deal with the shit ton of PR I'm getting due to this latest "incident". So I'm unfortunately staying here." Ruby said.
Team RWBY nodded and ran off with Ruby sighing, "Glynda are we ready?" Ruby asked. "It appperes so, when do you want to do this?" She asked, "now, we use the PR from the Riot to turn the councilors mob against them, and then take over the city." Ruby said as she stood up and walked over to the elevator grabbing Crescent Rose on the way past, "meet me in the bullhead." She said as she ended the call.
[ later]
The bullhead flew off from beacon and towards the city, Ruby sat next to Glynda, as she ran through the information, " after that, you call the council and trick them to give information." Glynda said "I see." Ruby said With a smile. Suddenly the PA came on, "madam were over the city...the rioters are quite large are you sure you want to do this?" She asked, "I'm sure pilot put her down." Ruby nodded. "Okay, landing sequence initiated." She said as the bullhead got lower to the ground,
In the plaza everyone was quite as the doors stayed shut, people wonders what was happening would the huntsmen come out to try to silence them?
Finally the doors opened. And Ruby rose stepped out...alone, she held her scythe out and slammed it on the ground sticking up. Everyone backed up to give her space. As Ruby scanned the crowd.
Finally she spoke her personal mic echoed her voice, "hello! You know you I am so I will skip the introduction. I'm here simply to talk about what your rioting for, and saying it's not what you beleave it to be." She said,
Once those words left her mouth the crowd booed her "YOU BITCH!" A women yelled "YOU JUST WANT US TO NOT PUT THE BLAME ON YOU!" Another man yelled, Ruby raised her hand, and everyone quitited down "while I understand your negativity your scarred, we all are, for years Dust has been humanity's sole defender against the Grimm, now without that what will be our fate, " what if I told you the acts of not only the mine bomb were not only orchestrated by a human, but what if I told you they were the very humans you trusted and voted for?" She said, everyone looked around quitly, " and I'm not talking about the huntsman. What if I showed you proof that the Council of Vale, did all of this, for the sole purpose TO GET RELECTED!" Ruby yelled.
Silence. And then
"SHOW US!" One guy roared as the crowd followed, and chanted " Show us! SHOW US! SHOW US!"
Ruby waved them to quite down as she dropped her scroll and a hologram came up, of the incident report,
" now this is the report I gathered about the attack of Vale, originally there was a councilor who at the time of the breach, was in the city, but later counting the dead...there was no councilor amongst the dead," She said, "and here's another one, during the attack of Atlas we all remember this clip?"Ruby asked as she played the clip of Blāst stabbing the news reporter. Everyone watching nodded.
"Do you know what happened to the clip?" Ruby asked everyone shook there head, "no nothing all didn't blow up of Dusttube didnt show up on any other news programs nothing!" Ruby yelled " do you know why?" She asked everyone shook there heads. "Because they covered it up with this!" Ruby said as she played another clip of a kid eating a red dust crystal and barfing up flames saying his stomach was on fire. "the councilers hid the fact a dangerous Grimm was out there, from a stupid internet meme!" Ruby yelled. The crowd started to nod.
"Just recently. We got new Mengasery was attacked from Grimm people were fleeing, taking what ever they could carry in there two hands as the left everything else. Do you know where those people are?" Ruby asked as she pointed out, "THERE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO TELL THEM TO COME ASHORE, THEY ARE WAITING FOR A SAFE HARBOR AND WE DO NOTHING! AND IM NOT TALKING ABOUT JUST FANUAS THERE EITHER, IM TALKING HUMAN TOUREST families and kids!" Ruby said. "And what are we doing now arguing about the dust shortage that's going around which I will admit it's slight a problem. But you forget we've had dust for just around the time of the Great War, before that not a single mention of Dust in the history books before then, Humans and funas survived on the sheer willpower alone, and we can do it again." Ruby said, people murrmeres as Ruby was right.
"So that begs the question, why is the councilers doing this? Well...how about I let them explain it." Ruby said everyone cheered, as Ruby turned around and tapped her scroll with her foot calling the councilers chamber,
On the screen 2 silouitted individuals sat there, " ms Rose...what pleasure do we own this...chat?" One asked, "nothing much I just wanted to ask a few questions." Ruby said, " Question's?" The councilers asked,
Suddenly Ruby's eye glowed bright silver as the two Councilers heads went limp. "Yes question's...is that a problem for you gentlemen?" Ruby asked the two slowly sat up and spoke in a dead tone. "no...ask...away..." the councilers said "Ruby paced back and forth, " what is it I hear about the files going missing in the school Archives? And the library's are being shut down?" She asked, as she looked
"it's...so...people won't...dig for...information." The second counciler said, Ruby narrowed her eyes, "why?" She asked sharply, "...so people...don't...ask...questions..." Ruby cracked her knuckles, "...why don't you want people digging for answer?" Ruby asked. "Some...secrets... need...to be...kept..." the first counciler said "like Salem?" Ruby asked, the sillouits nodded but Ruby wasn't sure the crowd saw. "I'm sorry what?" She asked, "...yes..." they both said as they groaned,
Ruby smiled, as she noticed the crowd was catching on, "you said, when we first talked, that I was a perfect candidate for Ozpin's role...why?" Ruby asked, "...you...were the least likely...to interfere...with...our plans..." the second counciler said, "and what is your plan?" Ruby asked.
The councilers groaned, "uggh-..." before they went dead again "we...canNot...tell Youu!" They groaned, ' damn there fighting back I need to ease them in more.' Ruby thought, ", why did you stop me from going to Atlas to assist, or for that matter any foreign kingdom?" Ruby asked
"If...you looked...too good...it...would...damage our...reputation...and hurt our goal in...the long run..." they said. "why is Your reputation more important that keeping humanity safe?" Ruby asked, "what...is always more...important?" The counciler's Said. Ruby cracked her knuckles. "Money." She hissed, everyone else thought of that to, "Why are you keeping The survivors of Mangesary off the shore?" Ruby asked.
"We...don't want...over-population," the counciler's said. " and keep them hidden from the docks?" Ruby asked. "No...questions, Urgh!" The second counciler said groaning, ' he's trying to regain control I need to end this quick.' Ruby thought, " who attacked the Schnee dust Quarry in Vaccoule?" Ruby asked, "we did." The counciler's Said without skipping a beat. "WHY?" Ruby yelled, "to lose...trust in...the huntsmen." The second one said, "but lose trust in the huntsmen that what's protecting humanity, that. Everything we've ever revolve around had some sort of Huntsmen like group, so Why? WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS Do you just want to bring chaos!? WHO LET THE GRIMM INTO VALE THE DAY OF OZPINS MURDER!?" Ruby yelled her eyes widened as she realized she asked the wrong question, they now had a way to recover from the mind control.
Fortunately something occored as they spoke as if nothing happened. " thanks for the...scrifices of Counciler...Ash...he broke the seal of the tunnels...leading from mountain Glenn. He died in the process...but he did his part. " but all of this the death of Ozpin, me being in power, all the attacks, denieing people safe passage, why WHAT IS THIS ABOUT!?" Ruby yelled. The counciler's struggled against the mind control trying not to say as the words grit against there teeth, finally they yelled "RELECTION!" They yelled, Everyone was shocked even Ruby... everything all lead to one thing, relection and more money for the counciler's. Ruby grit her teeth, and due to her anger she was unaware the mind control was broken, "ms Rose what is-?" The counciler asked when the voice was cut off by the words saying -call ended-
" THAT IS THE PEOPLE YOUVE ELECTED! DO YOU WANT THEM IN POWER!?" Ruby yelled "NO!" The crowd yelled, "Do you want them in control of your family?" Ruby asked "NO!"they yelled "Do you want them in control of You and all you've worked for!?" Ruby yelled "NO WE DON'T!?" The crowd yelled "it's obvious they are just in It for the money. They don't care about anything else! But me as a loyal huntress I'm sworn to protect the life's below me. Maybe not via vow but by personal oath! Now this last month has been the hardest I've ever faced. Not even against our great threat Salem had I felt so releved to be over it. Why? Because all this Time I lied to you...and I lied BECAUSE THESE BASTARDS TOLD ME TO! No more! I BECAME A HUNTRESS IN HONOR OF MY LATE MOTHER SUMMER ROSE! I DID IT WITH MY OWN POWER, I scrificesd so much to make sure no one had to go through what I did, and I've failed, but that's life...BUT DAMN IT I SAY NO! THAT WHY WERE HERE FOR YOU DONT HAVE TO!" Join me and I will make things right FOR YOU! Your family's! FOR HUMANITY! And for mom!" Ruby yelled, everyone yelled at the invograting speech they had Ruby's back, she was the protector of humanity, and there is the reason why.
Ruby sighed, as she called the counciler's again. The phone picked up, " yes ms Rose what can we-um?" The counciler asked, " It's over Counciler's your exposured Everyone in Vale knows now, your plan to get re-elected is toast, but I'm going to be nice, this is my only offer, Turn yourselfs in and stand trial for all the crimes you've committed, and I won't go through you by force." Ruby said, " who do you think you are Ms Rose?" The counciler asked roaring as This 25-6 year old telling him what to do.
"You just said I'm Ruby Rose, defender of Humanity, headmistress of Beacon Academy and I'm doing my job. You got um 2 minutes to make your choice, before I sick the Angry mob on you." Ruby said as she looked back to see the people of Vale Itching for a fight, "with all this negativity Vale is going to collapse on itself." The counciler said.
"Oh I wouldn't think so... we got a little good luck charm going for us." Ruby said
[ outskirts of Vale]
A shotgun blast was heard as Qrow runs past and impalas a Beowolf. Before throwing the monsters into the crowd knocking a few over,
( back with ruby)
The counciler tensed. As he looks around, "fifteen seconds..." Ruby said as she countered the people in the mob getting more and more eager, " ten..,nine...eight-." Ruby said "ALRIGHT ALRIGHT FINE!" He huffed, "give us until tomorrow to gather all the information, and we will send it to you via scroll." He said, "no, both Scroll. And physical copies. If I don't get all the files I will come down there myself and make you, and if they aren't there, your toast. In fact...I want you to send me the City's codes." Ruby said "I'm sorry?" The counciler Said. "You heard me, I want the list of codes that is used to run the entire defense networks, CCTV access, Radio frequency's." Ruby said "YOUR INSANE!" The counciler Said
Ruby paused, "oh I'm sorry? I thought I misheard you over the sound of the hungry pack of wolfs willing rip you bone for bone?" Ruby asked. As the crowd licked there lips, The counciler's slumped down in his chair, "oh...alright..." he said as he typed a code in his desk Ruby smiled as she felt her scroll ring -new message received-
"Good boy." Now to ensure you don't go back on Your deal I will be monitoring you, as you put the papers in order, so don't try to burn them or I will be very angry." Ruby said. " yes, ms Rose." The counciler Said as she hung up, Ruby turned to the crowd. " form a blockage around the building there may be a chance they will try to escape, don't let them, file all around in a one mile radius all exits covered," Ruby said, as she walked into the air ship with Crescent Rose she lifted it up high, "FOR HUMANITY!" She yelled everyone cheered as she flew off,
Ruby sat down on the ship, next to Goodwitch, "how was that?" Ruby asked "quite the speech, M.S Rose quite the speech." Glynda said as Ruby smiled as they flew off,
