Prologue

Ozpin sat in the interogation room with the video of the fight between one Ruby Rose and one Roman Torchwick played, his meeting with Ruby had concluded after he offered her a position at his school which she accepted readily and departed soon after the paperwork was complete. He remained where he sat analyzing the footage as his friend and colleague glynda berated him on his hasty decision.

"Honestly Ozpin what were you thinking accepting her so early you pulled her ahead 2 years she's 15, she's still a child this is reckless even for you not only are you pitting her against older more experienced students when she hasnt even finished her preliminaries but your also sending her against grim signal only does sanctioned grim hunts against newborns until their last year she isnt ready for beacon!"

Ozpin remained silent before his eyes narrowed and he paused the video when Roman threw the dust crystal at Ruby from the open hatch of the bullhead, he sat for a few seconds before he rose and left the room returning a few seconds later with documents pertaining to Ruby Rose.

"Glynda what do you think of miss Rose?"

"What I've said it she's reckless, childish, immature, has decent fighting capabilities but little spacial awareness, little to no experience with actual combat, and has little regard to property damage or potential civilians in the area. Why has anything I've said actually penetrated that thick skull of yours?"

"I assure you Glynda I have heard everything you've said." Glynda scoffed at that. "but I feel you nor I have the full picture I didn't realize it till a moment ago."

"What do you mean Ozpin?"

Ozpin spread out the papers he acquired about Ruby guiding glynda through what he discovered.

"Look at this these are her records from signal from her grades to activities she's passionate about, here it says she's passed all of her classes with flying colors but she excels at grim studies, tracking, wilderness survival, and combat she is an excellent sniper and a menace with her scythe but when it comes to close range she has strength but her punches lack any power on the other hand her kicks are devastating, her footwork balance and flexibility are incredible and she is a great grappler."

"That's odd considering who her sister is and Taiyang both are brawler oriented surely they could assist her form in boxing but that hardly warrants cause for surprised she already said Qrow was the one that trained her and knowing his theatrics I wouldn't be surprised if he dumped her in the forest and said figure it out."

"While that is true and while it may explain her wilderness skills and her effectiveness with her scythe none of them know any form of kung fu in fact it's one of the things Tai has had issues fighting in the past while he may be able to give pointers none of them could realistically teach her which begs the question where she learned it signal only teaches basic close range combat unless the student is brawler oriented. That aside she's also been praised for quick thinking in high pressure situations as well as uncanny knowledge and skill when it comes to anything to do with machinery her scythe alone can validate that but I want you to look at something." Ozpin said as he directed her attention to the screen.

"Ruby is an excellent sniper and a crackshot despite her sniper being a pump action, in this footage ruby had ample time to shoot that fire crystal before it hit the ground while she did shoot she didn't shoot the dust crystal." He said as he slowed the footage down "Instead she shot the turbine of the left wing."

"Ok so she missed or was too focused on trying to bring the bullhead down she was not aware of the crystal until it was too late how is this helping your case."

"Look at which turbine she hit glynda she hit the small turbine meant to help during turbulence if its taken out there is little risk of the bullhead plummeting but for one bullheads are heavily armoured something you can attest to as your attacks only scratched it, there are few weakpoints that can be exploited but are present within every bullhead someone who knows the ins and outs of one could take one out of the sky with ease, one such weakpoint is in the hull around this turbine where the turbine joins the wing a well placed shot and it will ignite the fluid within causing it to blow while it wont deal significant damage it can burn for hours unless attended too." Ozpin said before he got a message on his phone from the spare hunter he sent to trail the ship.

"Something that happened allowing law enforcement to track the ship to an abandoned warehouse containing a large amount of dust." Ozpin said as he placed his phone on the table for glynda to see.

"She couldn't have planned that you mean to say she willingly allowed torchwick to almost blow her up so she can have a way to track them down, if I hadn't been there she could have been dead, crippled or badly injured if her aura couldn't take the blast!" Glynda said in alarm.

"I mean to say glynda is that she thought about it she planned it and she took action all in seconds, she could have aimed for a larger turbine to bring the bullhead down but what if people were below what would happen to them she took into account what the possible consequences were changed target and ensured we could at least track them effectively because she couldn't take them down without risk of casualties and in regards to injury to herself her semblance is classified as unknown but believed to be speed, the issue is that while she does go extremely fast she creates rose petals when she does and she can dissolve into rose petals too, to be frank glynda we have no idea what her semblance can actually do." Ozpin stared at glynda as he spoke his face set with a serious expression.

"Glynda bullheads specs are not easy to obtain and the weakpoints and hull structure are not given to the public only high ranking military personnel know of them so either she has friends in very high places or she determined these herself to be honest glynda I don't know which is worse either way she will be targeted by ally and foe alike no one leaves someone this gifted alone for long especially now that she's made herself known if I don't recruit her now someone else will for good or bad."

Glynda remained silent as she took in everything Ozpin was telling her and she couldn't help but feel things were going to get alot more difficult soon.

tap* *tap* *tap* *tap*

"Damnit can you stop that I'm trying to think and your insistent tapping is not helping!"

silence*

"Roman you really should calm yourself I'm in a good mood let's not spoil it."

"Ha a good mood after that we lost a whole warehouse not to mention a shit ton of dust thankfully we were able to get the majority out before police swarmed the place."

"See Roman you focus too much on what was lost not on what was gained, that girl what did you call her again."

"Who little red you can't be serious she's the reason all this went south in the first place."

"Exactly Roman she's quite knowledgeable wouldn't you say, skilled, young with the right incentive I'm sure she can be persuaded to help us."

"Your joking did you see little red she practically radiates goody vibes it almost makes me sick."

"That's where your wrong Roman" the woman said as she placed a picture from the bullhead security camera on the table zoomed in on Ruby's face her eyes narrowed and brimming with mad glee.

"Those arent the eyes of a innocent little girl those are the eyes of a killer only someone who enjoys hurting others have eyes like that, with a little coercion she will come out and play and with the right reward she will stay~" The woman said as her dress lit up like a smoldering fire while her hand loosely cupped her cheek and she hugged herself as her eyes glazed over.

Roman turned back when he heard a moan only to shake his head and turn back to his map 'Fucking cradle robber if that's what gets her rocks off whatever I have more important stuff to do' he thought as a grunt came with a large chest.

"Open it"

The grunt opened the chest to reveal rows upon rows of uncut dust roman took out a bill and with a slight of hand made it five and placed it on the table for the grunt to take, looking back at his map he took a drag of his cigar.

"We're going to need more men"
