Chapter 10: The Return of Ruby Rose

Alpha, who reveal hir truth identity to be none other than Ruby Rose, kneeled and smile before Weiss, who was shock by this revelation, as she stared at her girlfriend, who was missing for 4 years... is the grimmoid who was serving for her family for 308 years.

Weiss: "Ruby... you came back."

Ruby: "I was waiting for you to guess of who i was until i decide to reveal it to you since you can take a hint. After all, i do wanted to play and trick you for a while. It is your pleasure... My love."

As Weiss was recovering from the shocking revelation, Emerald and Yang with Blake (and her head now normal, but her body still dragonoid-like) on her poke to the side, happy about her master's and her younger sister's return.

Emerald: "Hi. It's really nice to have you back."

Yang: "Yeah, it's really nice to have you back, sis."

Blake: "Yeah, it is."

Ruby then stared at Emerald, who immediately hide behind a still-shocked Weiss and poke her head out from behind.

Emerald: "You do look cute and way more sexy through, master~."

Yang grin at her now bigger and older sister.

Yang: "She's right you know, Ruby."

Ruby then stand up, which cause Emerald and Yang to flinch at it... before petting them both on top of both their heads, affectionately and motherly.

Ruby: "Yes, Yang. Yes, my Emerald. It is good to be back with you guys."

Ruby then look at Weiss before she walk pass by Emerald and Yang.

Ruby: "But there somethings i need to do."

Ruby look at Weiss before she spoke to hir, snapping her out of her shock phase.

Ruby: "Weiss... do you hear me?"

Weiss look at Ruby for a few moment before she started to cry angerly and launch herself toward Ruby and hug her tightly while lecturing her as her voice broke down.

Weiss: "YOU STUPID DOLT! YOU HOW MUCH PAIN YOU CAUSE ME WHEN YOU DISAPPEAR IN THE RUIN AND WE NEVER FIND YOU UNTIL YOU REVEAL YOUSELF?! Just please, Ruby... just please don't disappear on me again... please..."

Ruby adopted a sadden look and sadly smile as she hug back to Weiss.

Ruby: "I'm sorry, Weiss. Sorry for taking you that long and causing you that much pain."

Then... all of suddenly, Azura appear and skydrive from the Typhon toward Ruby with her weapons, Clipper and Thorn, extended forward and about to attack her, but Ruby just get Death Cerberus, which has become more demonic in appearance due to Ruby unleashing her true power, and block her attack. Their weapons clashed with another and Azure jump back from Ruby. Azure look at Ruby with a serious while Ruby grin at this.

Ruby: "Nicely done... who are you, little girl?"

Azure answer hir question while she form a cross with her weapons.

Azure: "I am a servent of General Omega Zeus. An agent of Grey Body. I'm a infidel bane of your bane called upon to cut away your flesh of darkness in order to removed from the earth. I'm Azura 'Violet' Sapphire, the one who dare to defy you."

General OZ smile madly as he clapped his hands while Ruby and Azure prepare to fight each other.

Meanwhile... somewhere else in the city of Vale...

Acachalla, which he has only minor injuries, and one major injury in his chest which is causing some bleeding, and still has his shotgun, was watching the scene unfold on top of a building as he spoke to himself and smile about it.

Acachalla: "So you finally reveal your true identity... huh, Alpha? Hehe, i hope you get a good life out of this, Alpha. Because i won't be in it later..."

Then he focus his attention on the Doctor's drowned airship.

Acachalla: "As there unfinished business to finished."

He then jumped as he head toward the airship, which was ready to be burn down in flame.

Meanwhile... in the Doctor's airship...

The doctor was staring at his own research notes covering the walls and table in his drown airship in fear, wondering about something and spoke himself about it as well...

Doc: "Is this the end? No! I don't think so... the research helps us to take a move forward. What should i do? What should i do?"

The vampire doctor went to a pair of metal doors and open them, revealing a cloth with a golden plate only 'S.M.' written on it covering something over it.

Doc: "I have not reached my goal..."

The doctor quickly get out a suitcase and put his notes in it as he ramble on before he shove his books out of the way.

Doc: "What's wrong?! What is missing?! Right! Someday... someday... to spead it worldwide! A science that's like a miracle! A miracle that's similar to a science!"

?: "Quit ya bumbling, professor..."

The doctor heard a chuckle and see Acachalla leaning against the wall as he was bleeding out and taunt the doctor.

Acachalla: "It's not worth it, professor... you should know when to surrender... professor."

The doctor grasp in shock as Acachalla stared down the doctor and taunt him while smiling like a slasher, knowing the doctor can't handle being called a mere professor.

Acachalla: "How ironically pathetic, professor! Being an mere vampire professor that can't somehow have a gut to stand against a normal old man like me!"

Doc: "S-shut up! I'm a doctor! AND YOU...! A good for nothing!"

Acachalla just laughed at the doctor's lame comeback and continue to taunt him while he grinded his teeths in anger as the airship they're in is burning down.

Acachalla: "We also know you are good for nothing as well, professor. Just someone who outlived his usefulness to General OZ. And that's because all you have created, including the special artifical grimmoid soldiers that were supposed to take out Alpha are utterly pieces of shit! The only creations that can be barely note worthly are the clones you've created! The term function meant that the presenter should also disapper. What do you think, professor?"

Doc: "Why are you telling me this?!"

Acachalla: "This war all over the world of Remnant are just the work of a single act of that mad general of your this night, professor. I'm inside of your airship that going to burning down soon... i just wanted to play my best role in it."

Acachalla chuckle before grabbing a bar against the wall and help himself up as he continue to taunt the doctor.

Acachalla: "What a terrible end... it's a damn shame, professor."

The doctor could no longer take Acachalla's taunts and goes on a rant.

Doc: "Damn it! You're... you're just a worthless old man! A lone and weak old man lie yourself... laugh at us?! Is that what you are trying to say?! I'll be ****ing damn if i let you called me a professor one more time and call my research a pieces of worthless notes and informartions?! Not bear the organzation and higher are ridiculed! Theories take leaps! My investigations take leaps! Not from someone like you! NOT FROM SOMETHING LIKE YOU! Physical science feeds on practices! There is no progress without preparation!"

The doctor then point at the something covered by the cloth.

Doc: "ONE DAY! I WILL CATCH UP TO THAT! SOMEDAY, I WILL SURPASS ALPHA! I'LL SHOT YOU HOW!"

Acachalla, on the other hand... just merely chuckle at the doctor's pointless rant.

Acachalla: "You do realized that i'm an old man... and i don't give a ****ing care of what you just said. Because you and i... will be going to die tonight."

The doctoer growled in anger and pulled out a pistol to shoot at Acachalla, but Acachalla was faster and blasted the right arm of the doctor right off with his shotgun. The doctor was in so much pain that he accidentally grab the cloth and pulled it down, reveal a skeleton as it fall down. Acachalla chuckle at this as he realized the doctor's real name.

Acachalla: "So this is your real body... Stephen Morty. What you want to achieve?"

Soon... the room they were in was burning to the ground.

Acachalla: "What you really wanted... was a bootleg copy! Isn't this a comedy?!"

Acachalla then aim his shotgun at the doctor's head, which he scream in horror, before his got blown off by his weapon and his real body's skeleton was soon crushed by the burning ceiling of the airship. Acachalla smiled at this before he fall to the floor and lean against the table as the flame engulf the room, knowing that this will be his grave. Acachalla pulled out a ciger and light it before he smoke it as he remember all of the fond memories of Ruby, under her alias Alpha, when he first meet hir in the desert with Big Bethra 85 years ago and all the way until the present day. Then he spoke his finally words on a old recorder.

Acachalla: "Alpha... it was honor serving with you, after all, i am but a mere human... i really hope that you married the love of your life and descendant of your first master Hellsing, Weiss Schnee. We has a good run, Alpha. So this is goodbye... 'Alpha' Ruby and Weiss."

The ciger fell from his hands as the flame engulf the ship and soon.. its collapse on him, killing him.

Meanwhile... back at the center of Vale...

Azure then charge toward Ruby as a golden energy formed around Thorn and Clipper before she swing her weapons at the same time that Ruby swing Death Cerberus, which their weapon clash with one another, dispersing large amount of energy. Ruby was impress of her as she was able to graze on the left side of Ruby's cheek, which soon regenerate and soon known of what she was.

Ruby: "So you made a clone of me before i was a grimmoid and give her the powers of the Golden-Eyes Warrior, which are effective against all kind of super natural creatures except for the creature of Grimms. Yet, you've made a formidable warrior in her own right. I'm impress with you, Azure."

Azure: "... Ready for more?"

Ruby: "Yes... try to pierce my soul. You just one of the many beasts of Omega Zeus who, unlike you Azure, have many souls in themselves. Tell me, my nemesis. How many innocents souls you've sacrifce just to created monsters to destroyed me? 500 years ago? 100 years ago? Now you come back to challenge me and reawaken me again, my nemesis!"

General OZ did not answer as Azure charge at Ruby with her weapons. They clashed with their blades. Azure attempt to use her other weapon to attack Ruby, she block it with hir own blade of her weapon, which cause her to jump backward. Ruby dash toward her and swung hir weapon at her, but she dodge it. Then she trust forward toward Ruby, but she jump in the air and smash her weapon against Azure and the ground, which she quickly dodged. Her golden eyes glowed as she unleash several energy from her weapon and launched them toward her, but she block them with her weapon.

Ruby then transform Death Cerberus into scythe mode, which on the barrel reveal its true name; Cresent Rose The 2nd in cursive writting and roman numerals as she rest the weapon on her shoulder.

Ruby: "Now then... come at me!"

Azure then dash toward Ruby before she swung her weapons at her, but she dodge. Then she swung Cresent Rose The 2nd at her, which she barely was able to dodge. Ruby then use the cannon of Cresent Rose The 2nd and shoot through a part of Azure's left arm as she ignored the pain and charge toward Ruby. She attempt to slash hir several times with her only remaining working arm and Thorn, but a couple of grimms and the lost souls that were in Ruby block her attack as Ruby jump backward and landed on the statue as both grimms and the souls that were in Ruby swarming around her before she was a attack by a few of them, injuring her. Ruby then asked her.

Ruby: "Now what? What will you do? Your devil stand before you, clone. You're going to defeat me because you want to be real person by killing the one you're clone from... is that right? What do you think your chances are? One in a hundred? One in a thousand? In ten thousand? A million?! A billion maybe!"

Azure then answered her question.

Azure: "I am more prepare to defeat and become a real person by killing you, Ruby Rose. No matter what the odds are against me."

Meanwhile... on the Typhon...

General OZ was listing in joy as his grimmoid soldier were dying and being killed by Ruby's horde and the city of Vale was burning down to the ground.

OZ: "Ze city of Vale has been all destroyed, Ozpin's army has all but perished, and my organization's scientists and soldiers are dying one by one. Alpha is down zere. And i sit up here. It's perfection, everything is proceeding just as i planned."

Meanwhile... back down...

Azure slash two beowolves behind and stared at Ruby, who was behind her horde, as she breath before Ruby spoke to her.

Ruby: "What's the matter, clone? Your devil is waiting!"

Azure then stand up as her left arm is regenerating from the injury and her other wound are regenerating as well.

Ruby: "Your brusied and bleeding. Your left arm is hanging by a few strands of fleshs and is regenerating. What are you going to do? Will you die like a dog? Or on your feets and stand as a human being?"

Ruby's horde inches closer to Azure as her injuries fully regenerated and healed before she spoke.

Azure: "What does it matter, Ruby? Didn't think that a wound would stop me? Now shut up and fight me."

Ruby was surprised by Azure's stoic and serious, yet determination to killed hir, but yet she was impressed by her as she smirk.

Ruby: "Excellent."

When Ruby look at Azure, she noticed her differents, yet also similar in comparing Azure to hirself.

Ruby: "You are definity different from me, yet also similar to me as well."

Azure then charge toward the horde, slashing down several grimms and souls of Ruby's horde that were in her way toward her with her weapons. As Azure was slashing down several souls and grimms of Ruby's horde, Ruby look at Azure and she was reminding of someone like her the year when and before Hellsing became her first master.

Ruby: "What kind of human is she? She remind of so much... of that wolf faunus 308 years ago. Yes... come to me, Azure Sapphire! Like the wolf faunus in that far distance time. Come and stand before my gaze and as that wolf faunus did try long ago, run me through and try to pierce my soul!"

Azure slash one of the souls as a Titan Berserker was standing in her way. It roared at her as she charged at it before she spoke.

Azure: "Out of my way."

She then jump and easily chopped its head off. She notice Ruby's horde coming toward her and then... her eyes begun to glowed as she and her weapons were surrounding by an golden energy around her and her weapon. Then... she charge at Ruby's horde and cutting through them like nothing with blazing speed toward Ruby thank to her golden eyes powers. General OZ grin at this as he enjoyed the show.

OZ: "Countless little lives failed to killed Alpha, but Azure on ze other hand... is like an one-human army of an great beast... struggling towards its own illumination. Seeking blood vhile spilling blood. Continuously multiplying and receding. Fighting against itself vithout end. Vither zey seek in a faith of a long-extinct race of arrogant beings of light, or in ze name of ze Grey Body organization, or even in ze Creature of Grimms zat walk called Alpha or better known as... Ruby Rose. Ve are all now united by ze same zing and yet not ze same zing. It's a dream come true."

Azure cut through the last of the horde that were in her way before she landed in front of Ruby before she stand up and glare at her as she disperse her horde to go somewhere else before she spoke to Azure as she was impress.

Ruby: "You stand before me. I'm impressed. I'm impress... AZURE SAPPHIRE!"

Azure remained silent before she pulled something from behind her backpack on her hips and reveal to be some kind of small wooden box. Azure then spoke to Ruby, who grin at her.

Azure: "You are not the only one who carry a powerful artifact, Ruby."

Ruby: "So is this the toy that going to defeat me?"

Azure did not answer hir question as she begun to crush the small wooden box, which begin to glow golden. Which Ruby felt a familiar energy coming from it, which cause a scowl on her face. Azure then destroyed the wooden box, revealing to be cross-shaped object with a single pointed end and a black in the middle of it. Ruby recongize the object and she didn't like where this is going as she the list of artifact she have...

Ruby: "The Four Relic of Gods... the Lance of the Scared Darkness... the Grail of Immortal... they were the artifacts i have collected and keep hidden away along with the fact i have knownledge of what artifacts it is. This... is the last most forbidden artifact of the non-semblancer race and the 'golden-eyes' peoples that only caused pain and destruction... it still reek of bloods of the ones that used it... the Cross of Yang!"

Azure: "Oh yes..."

Azure then point the Cross of Yang in the direction of her chest and prepare to stab it through it.

Azure: "PREPARE-!"

Ruby: "AZURE! STOP IT! Do you know that thing will do to you? You'll become a Beast of Light like the rest of the others who have used it! Maintain your humanity! Don't succumb to power! Either side, it's amount to the same deal. Whether on the side of either light or darkness you're still a monster in the end! Do you intend to use that scrap of misery to become nothing but a scrap of misery yourself?! This dual... between us... would you really push it that far? Into a realm that lie beyond mortal life? A monster such as myself... a creature of such weakness that i could not bear the greyness of this world. If i must be defeated... it must be a mortal..."

Ruby's look soften to the point its became a gentle and sadden look as she beg Azure not to do it, which surprised everyone.

Ruby: "Please... don't... don't do it, Azure. Don't become a monster... a monster like me..."

Azure's calm and serious expression soon soften by Ruby's word as she spoke to hir.

Azure: "Unfortunately, i don't have a life to called my own. I am nothing more but a weapon... a weapon to be wield by a monster. I would been happy to have been born as a storm or a defied threat. A mighty explosion or even a terrible hurricane. A force of nature without a heart or pity. And if this forbidden relic could transform me into such a thing... then i am happy... to abandon my humanity."

Azure fall to the ground and trust the Cross of Yang toward her chest as Ruby shouted at her name.

Ruby: "AZURE!"

Everyone was shock at what was happening as General OZ smile delightfully.

Azure soon transform into a dragon-like humanoid with blue glowing eyes of deity feeling, golden smooth scales shining like the sunlight, and a long hair of blue flame mane running down along her back. Ruby cried as she was anger at Azure.

Ruby: "Azure... YOU FOOL!"

A/N: Yeah, I'm going to now work on RWBY: Hellsing Dawn... which will release on the date of Bram Stroker's Dracula novel. So here some information just to keep you entertain...

Azure was originally created and raise as a laser-guided tykebomb (in TV Trope terms) to both Alpha and Ruby, who are actually the one and same person. So yeah, that why she so intend to kill Ruby.
