EP 9: Memories of Happiness and Nobody-Part 1
(Cue D-technoLife by UVERworld)
(Ienai itami kanashimi de kizu tsuita kimi yo) The song starts as we see a short, scarlet haired girl about eight years old wearing a simple white dress curled up as she was floating in a void with noting but small dots of light surrounding her.
(Kesenai kako mo seoi atte ikou ikiru koto wo nage dasanai de) The girl looked about ready to cry when suddenly, both Ruby and Seth appear and embraced the girl in a loving hug.
(Tsunaida kimi no te wo) The three fade away as the title appeared before quick montages of Seth, Team RWBY, and Team JNPR appeared as they all look ready for battle.
(Itsuka ushinatte shimau no kana) We see both Ruby and Seth in town as they were both looking down at something.
(Usurete iku egao to kimi wo mamoritai kara)We then see the little girl again, not wearing the white dress but instead was wearing a beat up red dress as she was looking up at something. From a sideways point of view, we see that Ruby and Seth were looking down at the girl while the girl was looing up at them.
(Hibiku boku wo yobu koe sae kare) We then see Seth along with both Team RWBY and JNPR as they in some kind of valley, running towards something that looked like a tree.
(Toki ni sou kaze ni kaki kesaretatte) Suddenly, they all came to a stop as they looked up and saw from above, people dressed in some kind of green uniform with weapons out as they jumped off and attacked them. Seth quickly released his sword to call out Shikai Zangetsu to block an attack from one of the green uniformed enemy as the ground around them gave away.
(Kimi wo mitsuke dasu)Through all the dust and rubble, we see Seth who's face was determined as he continued forward.
(Ienai itami kanashimi de kizu tsuita kimi mou) We see Blake and Yang fighting against a purple haired woman as Blake fired from her gun converted Gambol Shroud. The woman dodges each shot but quickly defends herself as she blocked a punch from Yang.
(Waraenai nante hito girai nante kotoba sou iwanai de) Ren and Nora fighting against a man with a pale complexion as he was throwing three bladed throwing knives. Ren and Nora dodge them and Ren charges at him, StormFlower blazing as Nora was coming from the top, Magnhild raised to strike.
(Mienai mirai ni okoru koto subete ni imi ga aru kara) We now see Jaune and Pyrrha fighting against a man whose face was hidden and was wielding two large tetsubos. He goes to hit Jaune with one of them, but he raises his shield just in time to block it while Pyrrha jumps over him and goes to stab the man through with Miló.
(Ima wa sono mama de ii kitto kizukeru toki ga kuru daro) We then see Ruby and Weiss fighting against a dark-skinned man wielding chakram blades and a bearded man wearing a strange backpack. The dark-skinned man throws one of his chakrams at them while projectiles burst out from the bearded man's backpack. Ruby deflects the chakram as Weiss freezes the projectiles. Ruby then hops on a Glyph Weiss had made and launched herself towards the men, Crescent Rose raised for the kill.
(You and me, two are spoken) We now see Seth fighting against a white haired man with a scar on the left corner of his forehead. They trade a few blows before the man pushes back Seth and then Seth gets into a stance as a light azure Aura exploded from him.
(Itsuka wakari aeru kara) We are then shown the girl once again as she was bounded to something. She looks down and calls down to the group and both Seth and Ruby seem to be the only one's who respond the most as their paces quickens before the song ends with the group running towards the girl.
(Beacon Academy Dorms)
It's been a few weeks since Seth had won the tournament and had ended in a draw with the man known as Kenpachi Zaraki. It was only a month away until the Vital Festival and students were getting very excited. Inside the dorm of Team RWBY(S), the whole team were currently just relaxing.
Ruby was currently cleaning her Crescent Rose.
Weiss was checking the amount of dust in her weapon's revolving chamber.
Blake was reading the 'Ninjas of Love' book she got for Christmas.
Yang was reading a magazine about hair products, seeing which would od good for her hair.
Seth was finishing up some homework he had to do since he neglected it for the tournament, but he was having trouble doing that. You ask why he's having trouble?
"I am so fucking bored!"
There's your answer.
"Shiro, can you be quiet? Seth is trying to finish his homework and all your complaining is not helping him." Myrtenaster said.
"I can't help it! Cables out and I can't watch my animes!"
"Why don't you use a computer?" Gambol asked.
"We don't have one."
'Can all of you be quiet!?' Seth screamed in his mind. 'I am trying to get this work done!'
"Well I can't help it if I'm bored. What am I supposed to do?"
"I have an idea." Crescent said.
*BANG!*
"Whoa! Watch where you're shooting midget!"
"Stop calling me a midget!"
*BANG-BANG-BANG!*
"Whoa! Ow! OW!"
Trying his best to ignore the conflict going on in his head, Seth manages to finish his homework. Meanwhile, having finished cleaning her weapon, Ruby gets up and goes over to their miniature fridge and opens it up to get some milk only to find none.
"Yang! We're out of milk!" Ruby called out.
"What? But we just brought some last week." Yang said, looking up from her magazine.
"Yet, I'm seeing a milkless fridge." Ruby said.
"There's nothing we can do about." Weiss said. "You'll just have to go buy some more."
Ruby sighs. "And I just brought some cookies too."
"I'll go." Seth said.
"Huh?"
"Yeah. I have to spend this prize money sooner or later."
"Well, can I come?" Ruby asked. "This new sweets café just opened up and I really like to check it out. I hear the stuff they serve is really good."
"Sure. We can stop by there once we get the milk." And with that, they gather went out, grabbing their weapons along the way.
The rest of the team just stares at the door before Yang asked one word.
"Date?"
"Date." Checkmate said.
They all then went back to what they were doing.
(Vale, a few hours later)
Seth and Ruby had just gotten done shopping for some milk and now, Seth was following Ruby who was trying to remember where to get to the sweets café. The streets of Vale were very busy today as people were out and about and workers were getting ready for the festival. Seth and Ruby had to hold hands to make sure they didn't get lost in the crowd.
"Sure is busy today." Seth said.
Ruby said nothing, to busy trying to control her blushing red face.
'W-We're holding hands and we're going to a café a-alone!' Ruby thought. 'It's almost like we're on a d-d-date!' The thought just made her face redder.
"Hm?" Seth noticed Ruby blushing and asked, "Is something wrong Ruby?"
Ruby jumps in surprise. "What!? No! No! Nothing's wrong!"
"If you say so." Seth said and then they continue to look for the café.
*sob*
Suddenly, Seth stops walking, prompting Ruby to do the same.
"What's wrong?" Ruby asked.
"I think I heard something." Seth said, looking around.
"I didn't hear anything." Ruby said.
*sob*
"There it is again." Seth said.
"OK, this time, I heard it." Ruby said, looking around.
"It sounds like someone's crying." Akoúo said.
Wanting to find out who's crying, Seth and Ruby start searching. At times, the crying got softer and quieter and it got louder and clearer at times.
"OK, seriously, where is this crying coming from? It's starting to get annoying."
Seth ignored him and continued to look with Ruby.
*sob*
Both Ruby and Seth stop. The crying they had been hearing was now clear and loud, almost like it was right next to them. Looking to their left, in an alleyway was a curled up short, scarlet haired girl, about 8 years old, whose hair reached down to the end of her neck. They walked up to her and saw that she was wearing very dirty and beat down red dress as her hair was untidy. Dirt covered her face as tears were coming down her face, her hands up to her face tried to wipe away the tears but they just kept coming down.
"A child?" Crocea said.
Seth and Ruby just continue to stare at the girl as people pasted them. As if finally noticing them, the scarlet haired girl raised up her head, showing her silver eyes that were red from crying a lot. Upon seeing them, the girl develops a look of fear and creeps away from them.
"Wait! We're not going to hurt you!" Seth said, sticking out a hand but that causes the girl to quickly get up and run away but before she could get one step in, she falls to the ground. "Huh?"
Upon closer inspection, Seth and Ruby notice that the girl's left legs was badly injured.
"Oh my god! You're hurt!" Ruby said as she and Seth quickly went to the girls side.
"S-Stay away from me!" The girl shouted, trying to get away.
"We're not going to hurt you!" Ruby said before turning to Seth. "Can you hold her?"
Seth nods and hesitantly holds the girl down while Ruby produced a first aid kit from one of her compartments.
"When did you start carrying around a first aid kit?" Seth asked, the girl struggling to escape from him.
"When you started to get yourself really hurt." Ruby said. "I am so glad I read those medical books. You might want to brace yourself, I'm going to put on some ointment."
Seth tightens his grip on the girl as Ruby puts ointment on the girls wounded leg. Instead of screaming like Seth and Ruby had expected, the girl bit her lip to suppress the stinging pain.
"There. All done." Ruby said.
Seth relaxes his grip as the girl opens her eyes and see her wounded leg bandaged up and not as painful as it was a minute ago.
"Feeling better?" Seth asked. The girl just nods. "May we ask your name?"
"...Scarlet." The girl, now named Scarlet, replies softly that Seth Ruby almost didn't hear her.
"That's a nice name. Like your hair." Ruby complimented. "My name's Ruby." She gestures to Seth. "This is Seth." Seth greeted Scarlet with a smile.
"Set. Rub." Scarlet pronounced their name's wrong.
"Oh how can she get that wrong!? They're like two syllables!"
Ruby and Seth didn't criticize the girl for getting their name wrong and asked, "Tell us, what are doing out here all alone?"
"I...I don't know." Scarlet replies.
"Where are your parents?" Seth asked.
"Parent?" Scarlet says the word like it's the first time she's ever heard of it.
"Parents. You know, people that care for you. A daddy and a mommy. A papa and a mama." Ruby said.
"...I don't know." What she said really surprised them. "I don't know anything."
"Amnesia?" Mors guessed.
"An amnesiac in an alleyway. Talk about deja vu."
'Tell me about it.' Seth thought.
Suddenly, both Ruby and Seth felt a very strange spiritual Aura.
"What the!? What's up with this spiritual Aura!?" Ember said.
The both of them then notice that Scarlet was looking past them so when they turned their heads around to see what she was staring at. They were not expecting what they saw.
"W-What the hell!?" Seth said.
Roaming around the streets of Vale were...strange looking beings. They looked nothing like a Grimm, far from it, and stood at the height of an adult man. Their appearance was that of a white ghost with pink pin-shaped heads.
"What are these things?" Seth thought out loud, getting up and looing around.
They both then notice that the people around them didn't seem to notice the strange, ghost like beings.
"No one else can see them." Ruby pointed out. "Are we the only one's seeing this or have we finally gone crazy?"
"No, I'm pretty sure that if we have gone crazy, we wouldn't be seeing the same thing." Seth said.
Suddenly, a strange wind blew, making all of the ghost-like beings to stop. Then suddenly, their head's change to color red, and they revealed red arms and hands, heading towards them.
"What the!?" Seth and Ruby push away any that came too close to them but more just kept coming towards them. "What's with these guys!?"
"N-No! G-Get away!" Seth and Ruby turn to see Scarlet shaking in fear as she stared at all of ghost-like beings coming towards them.
Seth then put two and two together and realized something. "They're after Scarlet!"
"What should we do?" Ruby asked, pushing another one away.
"The answers simple. It's fight or run and the obvious is-"
Seth quickly scoops up Scarlet into his arms. "We're running!"
"Wait what?"
*SMACK!*
"OW!"
"You really are an idiot, aren't you?" Myrtenaster said. "People can't see these things. If Seth and Ruby suddenly start swinging around their weapons it'll cause a scene."
'That's enough lecturing Shiro, Myrtenaster.' Seth thought. 'For now, we got to get away from these things!'
Seth and Ruby then took off running with the ghost-like beings soon giving chase.
"Where should we go!?" Ruby asked while running.
'Any ideas guys?' Seth thought.
"If you plan on fighting them, I would suggest going to a place with no people. If you still plan on running, I would suggest heading back to Beacon as quickly as possible."
Seth looks down and notices that Scarlet was shaking in fear, tightly gripping onto his coat.
'Where can we go Kuro?'
"I sense a small amount of Aura at park just two miles left of you. You can do battle there."
Seth nods and turns to Ruby. "I think there's a park not to far from here. We can go there and then take care of these things!"
Ruby nods an then they both speed up, Seth using Shunpo while Ruby used her Semblance. In no time at all, both teens were able to make it to the park. Seth had to quickly grab onto Ruby's cloak before she ran into a tree. Looking around, The park was almost deserted with no people or Faunus in sight.
'No people here. That's good." Seth thought.
"And just in time too. Here they come!" Ember said.
Seth and Ruby quickly turn around to see the ghost-like beings arriving.
"Go hide!" Seth said, setting Scarlet down behind some bushes and then going back to join Ruby's side, both of their weapons drawn.
"I don't know what you guys want with Scarlet, but you're not getting her unless it's over my dead body!" Seth wasted no time charging forward to engage the ghost-like beings, Ruby quickly following.
Cutting through them was like cutting through air, Seth noticed. Seth cuts one in half and then quickly turn around and swings sideways, cutting another one from the waist down as each of them disappeared into nothing, leaving nothing behind. One goes to grab Seth but he quickly notices it and stabs the ghost-like being though as it disappeared before his eyes.
Ruby fired off sniper shots, her Crescent Rose stabbed to the ground so that she wasn't knocked back by the recoil. She then removes her weapon from the ground and spins it around before slicing one that came to close to her. Using her weapon recoil, she gets into the air quickly and lands into a hoard of them, quickly spinning around to slice any that was too close to her. She then proceeded to slice any that came near her, looking like a grim reaper slaying souls.
"There's no end to these guys!" Ruby said as she got back to back with Seth, both of them surrounded by the mysterious ghost-like beings.
"Let's see how these things go against this!" Seth raised up Zangetsu and brought it down, shouting out his signature move. "Getsuga Tenshō!(Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer)" In no time at all, Seth's signature wave of spiritual Aura decimated a large number of them. As if now fearing for their lives, the ghost-like beings all quickly retreated. Seth and Ruby didn't even think about going after them, just glad that the strange beings finally decided to flee.
The sound of something hitting the ground drew their attention and they instantly saw Scarlet out of her hiding place, passed out.
"Scarlet!" Putting away their weapons, then instantly went to the little girl's side, checking to see if she was alright.
"She seems to be suffering from not sleeping and eating often."
"What kind of person would just leave a girl like her all alone like this?" Gambol questioned.
"A real creep I bet." Ember said, the sound of knuckles cracking could be heard easily within Seth's mind.
'For now, we should take her to some place safe where those things can't get to her.' Seth thought. 'How does Beacon sound?'
"I don't know if they'll even allow a child on campus." Myrtenaster said doubtingly. "They don't even allow pets on campus!"
"We don't exactly have any other place safe where we can leave just her at." Crescent pointed out.
'It's decided then.'
Seth then picks up Scarlet and turns to Ruby. "Let's take her to Beacon. It's probably the only place safe where those things can't get to her."
Ruby agreed by nodding and then they both went to take the next airship to Beacon. They had to wrap Ruby's cloak around Scarlet and carry her like a one strap backpack in order to get past the guards.
(Back at the Dorms)
"Seth and Ruby sure are taking a long time getting back." Blake said.
"I'm pretty sure they're just enjoying themselves at that café Ruby mentioned earlier." Weiss said.
"Ice Queen's right for once." Yang said.
"Hey!" Weiss snapped.
"They're probably just enjoying their time together...alone." Yang said the last part with a hint of teasing. "Besides, it's not like they're gonna bring back a kid."
The sound of the door opening drew all of their attention where they saw the people they were talking about. Ruby was busy unwrapping something from her cloak while Seth turned to them.
"OK girls, this is probably gonna be confusing, but long story short, we brought back a kid." To prove what he said, Ruby finally finished unwrapping Scarlet from her cloak to show them the girl.
All of then girls gaped, their jaws practically hitting the floor as they stared at the girl in Ruby's arm who she placed down on Weiss' bed.
"Wha...when...how...huh...!?" Yang tried to come up with something to say but came up with nothing but stuttering.
"What the hell happened!?" Weiss practically screamed asking.
Ruby was the one to explain what happened. "OK, so me and Seth were minding our own business when we heard crying and then we found this girl. Then all of sudden, these ghost guys just suddenly appeared and attacked us!"
Seth nodded his head and continued the explanation for Ruby. "I quickly figured out that they were after Scarlet, the girl's name, and we made a brake for it to the park where there were no people to see us since for some reason, only me and Ruby have been the only ones to see them. We fought them for awhile before they retreated and then, we made our way back here as fast as we could."
Yang and the other take a moment to take in the info before looking towards Scarlet and asked, "So, what are we going to do with her?"
"Well, we found out that she has amnesia." Seth said.
"Really!?" Weiss asked. Seth and Ruby just nodded.
"Wow. You seem to have a knack of finding people with amnesia sis." Yang commented.
"Yang!" Ruby said in an annoyed voice.
The sound of something stirring drew everyone's attention as they turned and saw that Scarlet was coming to.
"She's waking up!" Blake said.
Seth turned to Ruby. "Ruby, go get some food for Scarlet. I think she'll need it."
Ruby didn't argue and just nodded, quickly leaving the room with her Semblance. After that, Seth went to the girls side as she finally came to.
"Where...am I?" Scarlet asked to no one in particular as she looked around.
"I see you're finally awake." Scarlet turned her head, only to meet Seth's smiling face. "That's good."
"You're that guy that saved me." Scarlet said as realization slowly made its way to her face. She looked around and asked, "Where's that other lady that saved me, uh...Rub?"
Just as she pronounced her name wrong again, said girl appeared in a flash of roses, breathing heavily and holding a tray with a plate with two sandwiches and a glass of water. The sight of the sandwiches instantly drew Scarlet's attention as her stomach growled, making her blush.
Ruby giggled and placed the tray on her lap. "Here you go. You must be hungry."
Wasting no time at all and without saying anything, Scarlet quickly grabbed a sandwich and was biting into it hungrily.
"Thank you for the food." Scarlet thanked after she finished her second sandwich and her glass of water.
"Don't mention it." Ruby waved it off and then noticed that there was a bit of mayo on Scarlet's cheek. "Ah, you got some mayo on your cheek." Ruby pulled a napkin she had brought along with the food and used it to wipe off the mayo. "There, now you're mayo free."
"I'm sorry to bring this up on you, but just what were those things that were chasing you?" Seth asked.
"I don't know." Scarlet said as she looked down dejectedly. "I suddenly woke up by a river, not even knowing who I am, and then suddenly, those thing appeared and haven't left me alone since. I've been running away from them for awhile now and you two are the first people to actually see them."
"You must have been very scared." Ruby said.
Scarlet nodded as a few tears welled up in her eyes.
"Hey, it's okay now, those things aren't here now to hurt you." Ruby reassured, wiping away Scarlet's tears.
The other girls finally decided to introduce themselves.
"Hey there. I'm Yang, Yang Xiao Long. I'm Ruby's big sister." Yang said casually.
"Blake Belladonna." Blake simply said.
"My name is Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company." Weiss said.
"The what company?" Scarlet asked.
"So you don't even remember that. The nerve of some people." Weiss said.
"Hey, she barely remembers anything, give her a break." Yang said.
"Well, we've already met but as a reminder, I'm Ruby, Ruby Rose." Ruby introduced herself to the scarlet haired girl twice today.
"And I'm Seth Aberrant and just like you, I have amnesia." Seth said.
"You do!?" Scarlet stared wide eyed at Seth.
Seth nodded. "Yep. Looks like we have something in common."
Scarlet stared at Seth before trying to pronounce everyone's name. "Yang...Blake...Weiss...Rub...Set."
"Oh! So she gets the other girl's names right but not King's and Ruby's!?"
"Hehe, maybe our names are a bit hard for you." Seth said, talking about him and Ruby as he patted Scarlet's head. "Well, you can call me and Ruby whatever name you want, that is, any name you can remember."
Scarlet thought about it for moment before coming up with a surprising name as she pointed at Seth. "Papa."
The whole room went silent.
"D-Did I hear that right?"
Scarlet the pointed towards Ruby. "Rub...Mama."
The only thing Ruby could say was, "Eh?"
It was not long before the whole room exploded.
"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?"
"I did hear that right!"
"Did she just call Ruby mama?" Crescent asked, not believing what she just heard.
"Whoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoa, whoa! Hold up!" Yang said. "Why are you call them Papa and Mama!?"
"Uh...well...Mama said that parents were people that care for me and just now, didn't they take care of me?" Scarlet asked.
"Yeah...but..." Yang was unsure of what to say next.
"Hold on sis, I got this." Ruby said, looking towards Scarlet.
Ruby continued to stare at Scarlet as the scarlet haired girl's expression grew anxious, wanting to know what Ruby would say.
"You...don't like it?" Scarlet asked.
Ruby shook her head. "No." She then suddenly developed the brightest smile anyone has ever seen. "Cause from now on, me and Seth are your Mama and Papa!"
"EH?" Everybody except Ruby, Seth, and Scarlet yelled.
"Mama!" Then, for the first time since meeting her, Scarlet smiled as she jumped into Ruby's arms. "Mama! Papa!"
"I can't believe this! Is this actually happen-why are you smiling King?"
'Am I smiling?' Not even known to Seth, he was smiling.
Ruby then stood up as she lifted up Scarlet which was surprisingly, not that hard. "Look at you. Why don't we get you cleaned up and find you some new clothes?"
Scarlet just nodded.
"Whoa, whoa! Time out!" Weiss said. "Ruby, what are you thinking!?"
"What? She has no where else to go and we just can't leave her at an orphanage." Ruby said. "What if those things come after again?"
"Yeah, but do you even know how to raise a child?" Blake asked.
"I'll figure it out, both me and Seth." Ruby said as she brought Seth close, trying not to blush. "Now if you excuse me, I have a daughter to clean up." She then headed towards the bathroom with Scarlet to get her cleaned up.
Once Ruby was out of the room, Yang quickly turned to Seth. "Are you OK with this?"
"Well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't shocked." Seth said before a look of determination made it's way to his face. "But like me, she has amnesia. I don't even know if I have living parents or not but this way, I can make this girl happy. She looked so lost and scared that something inside of me just couldn't leave her there. That's why I'm doing this, to make her happy."
"Well, if you're really going through with this then you better make sure that you take responsibility." Yang said.
Seth nodded as he picked up the tray left by Scarlet and went to go throw it away.
"What have we gotten ourselves into?"
(Cue Dazzling Smile by Hirata Shihoko)
(Instrumentals)We see Seth curled up on the ground with no clothes. Falling from the sky were white and red rose petals. Then we see Ruby on a little stage in some kind of cage with a microphone, ready to sing.
(Soke nuke no sora ni, Mayaigo no watashi, Kimi wa aruiteku)Then we see two hands letting go, and then we see on the ground is Zangetsu in sealed form and in its scabbard. Then we see Seth still curled up again.
(Haritsumeta kotoba, Haritsuke no kokoro)Seth looks at the sky of falling petals.
(Yuki ga someru made wa)Seth then brings his head down and tries to hide his head in his arms.
(If I tell, you show me how to love, I'll show you how to live, Bukiyou na distance)Ruby is continuing to sing even as the cage gets smaller, different camera angles show Ruby singing singing in different angles and directions.
(Miageteta kimi no dazzling smile, Sakura iro somete)The cage gets a little to small for Ruby who had to squeeze in, but still kept singing. Then we go back to Seth and someone offering a hand to him which he looks up.
(I just say, you show me how to live, I'll show you how to love)The one who offered the hand was none other than Ruby herself. Seth takes the hand and gets up as petals fly up to reveal him having clothes on.
(Tomarenai emotion, Mioroshita machi no memory)Ruby drags Seth to somewhere. Seth looks up and sees Ruby dragging him towards the rest of RWBYS and JNPR who waved at him with smiles. When they get close enough Seth looks at each of them before smiling.
(Akane iro somete)The cage around Ruby falls apart as Ruby finishes the song.
Yeah. You read this right people. I just pulled a SAO. Why did I do this you ask? Why do you think this is call 'Memories of Happiness and Nobody'? Anyway, the next couple of chapters will be little action and more of Scarlet bonding with everyone before we get to the serious stuff. I hoped you people liked this because I mostly just winged this and I feel that this is only half good. Just bear with me guys. I promise that we'll get to the good stuff. This is a way for me to slowly(spoiler) have Seth learn Bankai. For now, let's enjoy Seth and Ruby becoming parents.
