Necros: I chose RWBY but there isn't anything hidden underneath it but it is like the Return of the Evolving Dragon, I decided after a heavy discussion in my head to have 3 People travel back in time

Chapter 1: Go back before it started.

Salem's Castle.

'Almost done with the area and once it is done then it will be over soon,' thought Jaune as he was clearing the area around Salem's Castle if it could be still called a castle as most of the building was destroyed making it looks like ruins and smoke was still going into the air, Ruby was resting as the excessive use of eyes tired her out and Jaune merely brought her to one of the rooms to give her some rest.

The battle against Salem was already done a few days ago and the battle was absolutely devastating with the things that came with it as loss and victory were both involved, and the ones left standing in the battlefield were Ruby and Jaune and they were literally the only ones standing as Jaune was working on something weird while Ruby was resting from her fight against Salem.

But the loss was mostly one the Hunters side as Ruby and Jaune were literally the only ones here on Remnant and nothing has remained after many surprise attacks and cunning strategies of Salem, horrific ideas that only she could get up with and forcing many deeds upon Jaune and Ruby while knowing a lot of things that were good but doing the actions...was something else.

Jaune barely believed that he was still conscious and still standing after all the loss and traumatizing things he had done and needed to do, looking to his left he sighed as the altar that was made with the photos of many they had lost but all of the photos having red crosses painted on them. He looked specifically at the photos of Ren and Nora when they died and he had a hard time to recover, but Ruby was even more scarred than him as the very day she lost her teammates she lost all of them. He had lost them to but remained standing if barely but Ruby simply collapsed and was almost broken that after all she and her team went through they died all on the same day, Jaune had to carry her to the camp and Qrow and Maria were needed more then ever and he was included in as well.

Just when she had recovered after losing her dad as the event known as the Grimmification which was described as the darkest and most horrifying event in the whole world Remnant of what it did and what it made Hunters do, robbing hundreds away from their families, making orphanages full, suicides by many, mind broken over what had happened or what they had to do. And he was one of those who had to do it 12 times while Ruby had to do it once but it was harder for her as her father was all she had left, and Jaune wasn't given mercy as he had what he had was taken away in an instant and by himself nonetheless.

"Jaune...did you not sleep at all?" asked a 22-year-old Ruby as she came out of the castle of Salem wearing a skintight black leotard that had a few rips in them, a grey armored skirt that just covered her private place and her cape that turned into a cloak and her body has matured through the years of war of training and training added with fighting, scarce meals, and a lot of other things toughened her a lot up and sculpted her body of those of female models.

"No, wish I could sleep for once," replied Jaune in his stoic face and it wasn't only Ruby who had matured a lot but Jaune did look quite good having matured a lot as well, his clothes no longer being a hoodie and normal pants but more of a soldier outfit and his whole scraggly body and face lost all the baby fat and bulked up to that of an Olympic Champion Athlete and oddly enough he didn't have any facial hair but he was fine with it nor did he care about it. To Jaune facial hair was nothing but a hindrance and time robbers and he didn't like to particularly hold sharp things against his face, nor did he ever get the thought to grow a beard and the time he would need to know how to grow one, "Besides I am almost done and the only thing I need is the Relics and those damned Gods,"

Now that got Ruby's attention who ignored her remaining sleep in her eyes and the protesting aching of her body as she came over but carefully not wanting to ruin anything, he was drawing a huge circle with hundreds of symbols in it with a mix of something you would think of a Mathical Theory mixed in it and 2 other circles with the same look were drawn and attached next to the giant circle.

"Get everything ready, Ruby, because you will be sent back in time," said Jaune placing a few metallic suitcases in the middle circle and then placed his hand on the circle and streamed a bit of Aura and Dust through it and the whole circles began to glow and Ruby knew what she had to do and went to stand in the middle of the circle.

Jaune was doing something very interesting right now as he was now making the others 2 circles glow and now gathered the 4 relics in the middle and turned to Ruby to let her know what she needed to do and as he expected she was shedding tears, she didn't like the idea at all of what Jaune was going to do and that he couldn't go with her. "Can you truly not come with me?"

"No, what I am about to do is dangerous and I will literally possibly destroy everything...not that there is anything leftover of it," replied Jaune somberly as the area was completely destroyed, clouds were black, and the water looking infested with some kind of virus. "You know what you have to do...even if I wish to be the one to do it but we don't have the time anymore,"

"I know what I have to do...You are going to use whatever you were able to research with Weiss about magic and use it with a combination of her Glyphs and the Gods to perfectly send me back in time with the Gods used as an Energy source," said Ruby easily as she took a second to hold her tears back and said each word with ease out of her mouth. "And while my mind and Soul travel to through time I will also carry the weapons and items we need as well as these orbs...Jaune, please tell me what they are,"

She held out 2 small boxes one of them was red and black while the other was yellow and white.

"Those are the consciousness and soul of Qrow and me," answered Jaune with a small smile and fought down the urge to laugh at the shocked expression Ruby made. "Ruby, you didn't think I would be turning out so cold just because I look like it,"

He paused for a moment and let a barely visible smile out. "You didn't think we would let you do this on your own, did you...right?"

"Idiot," said Ruby as she hugs Jaune.

"When you get those suitcases to be sure to send the ones to this address of mine when my house was still standing, the other one for Qrow you need to hide from them away and give the Orb first to Qrow as it will give him the memories of the Qrow that had gone through this war," said Jaune making Ruby carefully place them in the metallic suitcases, and made a quick check as each suitcase contained a lot of important items.

"Who do I need to go to first?" asked Ruby.

"Preferably me, the only thing that I know is that it will be to the time that you are a child and your mother is alive and let me handle everything from there," said Jaune with a lot of conviction present in his eyes even if he did look stoic and had an expression of glaring and looking bored mixed together. "In your suitcase, there will be explained what each item is capable of doing and what effects they have, the only things you know are those weapons we made with the relics, but when you come there don't do it right away since you need to get rid of some Traumas and heal for the time...at least for a whole day,"

"Okay, let's begin!" shouted Ruby and ran to the circle with all the heavy suitcases which she carried with ease. "Also...about my mom,"

"Leave it up to me to fix it and make sure that Salem won't ever find her," said Jaune more serious than ever as Ruby couldn't hold her tears back at the thought of being able to see her deceased mother again, and Jaune understood what the loss of a mother did but he was in some ways worse than it matched that of Ruby who never got to see the death of her mom and neither get the last words a parent should give. His was different with having to cut down his mother, father, and all his sisters at the Grimmification Event, killing them without wasting any second before they are truly gone, he felt each slice with his sword and the images forever taking place in his head and eyes with a part of himself shouting not to do it.

Ruby nodded to him and entrusted the life of her mother in her friend's hands.

"Time to begin," said Jaune and placed his palm on the activation circle and immediately the light spread out throughout the whole magic circles and the 4 Relics reacted and send a beam high into the sky, space which Remnant never achieved to reach with al the unknown territories 2 giant glowing objects came down with terrifying speed. "They're coming,"

"You better not return to Goofy Jaune!" shouted Ruby incredibly nervous and as calm as she appeared the sweat she secreted indicated that she was anything but calm.

"You know I hate the bane of my childhood! Unlike you I was living with like 7 Yangs!" fired Jaune back not turning around even if he wanted to do that and he saw the Gods and it was just like Ruby told him how they looked like, 2 different type of dragons with one reminding Jaune of Ren and the other one of Blake in a weird way. "Come one...a bit closer...and now!"

The 2 smaller circles glowed and chains were shot up and wrapped themselves around the Gods and pulled them down and slammed them with all the force they could muster on the magic circles, both roared in pain and tried to get up but Jaune didn't allow them and made the chains even tighter and he didn't allow himself to fail never again!

"[Cut through space and time!]"

The whole area was then surrounded by a bright white light forcing everybody to shut their eyes except for Ruby who didn't even feel that different but turned around and saw a thin vertical line with the color of light from a prism, it opened up in the shape of a door and Ruby picked up all the suitcases but halted as she looked back at Jaune who was slowly vanishing.

He wouldn't remember this yet but the notes would be told and the consciousness of this orb she was given would not remember this. "I love you, Jaune Arc,"

And with that Ruby traveled back in time leaving with small tears knowing that it was the only chance she would ever get to be with Jaune, the stupid blond-haired guy who is too loyal.

"...I love you too, Ruby Rose," said Jaune Arc but by the time he said it to the girl who he had fallen in love with she was already gone in the portal and Jaune felt his body slowly getting torn apart from the use of such a great amount of magic, perhaps it wouldn't have happened if he had more time to research about it and it made him laugh that he who had one of the lowest scores at Beacon for almost every single lesson besides History. Ending up with being able to keep up with the intelligence levels of that of Weiss and Ms. Goodwitch and even being able to discover many things, greater potential, and even being able to make a ritual to be able to cut through space and time without affecting the time stream.

But he also felt something else besides his body being torn into pieces and that was that certain memories inside of his head vanished and were replaced with completely new ones, it released him from the hell he was in known as the brain storing memories up including that of the deaths of many beloved people of Jaune and Ruby and each of them were getting removed out of his head and the current him was also vanishing. He simply stopped existing but nothing else would've made him happier than he was released from the hell, a better future was ahead.

Seeing everyone do their usual things and the things he expected them to become and what they would be like instead of their deaths.

Ren and Nora strolling through the park with their children with beaming smiles and seeing Nora calm were a rare sight, and her acting all like a mother to boot with it and Ren smiling so openly and the children a mix of their parents. Better than seeing them dead on the ground covered in bits of dirt and blood while holding each other's hands.

Ruby having a daughter herself though he didn't see who her husband was it didn't matter that much if she looked this happy and her daughter looked like her, she looked beautiful between a mix of elegance and kindness. Whoever was married to her was one damn lucky guy to have Ruby as his wife and for a moment he felt jealous but pushed it away.

Yang just having great adventures and traveling the whole wide world while searching for ruins to solve mysteries and become a treasure hunter, he could easily imagine her wearing a cowboy hat along with it while riding a horse instead of Bumblebee. Not to see her dead on the battlefield with a sad expression that she wasn't more useful to Ruby.

Blake, he could see her married to Sun and them having children like Ren and Nora and Blake no longer being so secluded to herself anymore and smiling all the way, it was a great sight to see that Sun managed to get through her and make her happy even though Ghira didn't like him that much. The last time he had heard about her was that she went MIA and then was presumed dead after a week.

Weiss the girl he used to have a childish crush on and seeing her becoming the head of the Schnee Dust Company with Neptune and clearing the name and better circumstances and establishing a healthy relationship with the Faunus and her having a daughter, their child growing up to be elegant yet happy because of the great parents she has. Last time he had seen Weiss was her being in her lab and having lost mobility in her legs after a great battle and the explosion of where she was by a sudden attack indicated enough for him.

Qrow, no longer being sad or deprived of his family and leading a happy life and retiring and enjoying his retirement with full days with tea after he got rid of the alcohol, Jaune respected the man from the bottom of his heart and despite the first appearance and not so well introduction to him the man was full of wisdom despite his attitude. He was very sad when he had heard Qrow died on the battlefield and his teacher dead he didn't know for a moment what to do but push.

Glynda, yeah, he now called her by her name and she was the one who gave him extra teaching and helped him with his studies and research of aura to push and break the limits of Aura and they made plenty of fields clear of how to utilize the Aura, she reminded him of one of his sisters who was exceptionally smart and they would've definitely made friends. He didn't know how she died but she died like Qrow fighting on the battlefield.

There were many more friends he would never forget on the battlefield ranging from how he saw them in what light and how close he was to them, Sun, Neptune, Sage, and Scarlet were like brothers to him, Ironwood, Port, Bartley, Maria, were all great teachers and had their own quirks, teams like NDGO, ABRN, and many more teams he respected, and Pyrrha...she held always a special place in his heart and his motivation to keep going.

Then there was the last person Ozpin or Ozma in this case...he hated the man a lot for what he did and his way of thinking and seeing things but due to a recent event he couldn't help but hate himself for not seeing past his rage. The man was fighting always alone suffering the fact that he had to fight the woman he once loved without anyone comforting him, the love of his life that could only be saved through death alone with no alternate options and he knew he needed to comfort the man because he knew that Ozpin despite his belief he didn't love her...she still had the face of the woman he truly once loved.

'Ozma, don't worry anymore because we will grant you and Salem's peace...that is an Oath that I don't ever will think of breaking,' thought Jaune as the new future was set and he closed his eyes as he reformed into his new body and life.

Rose Household.

In a certain room of a child, it was still dark as the curtains were drawn blocking and refusing any rays of the morning sun to enter the room and wake the sleeping form of a little girl but perhaps too deep in sleep as a rainbow-like circle appeared next to her and a transparent form that appeared to be an adult self of her floated inside of her. The rainbow circle then spit several metallic suitcases and they slid underneath the bed of the little girl, just in time as a figure wearing a red/black attire with a white cloak walked up to the stairs towards the room of the girl and entered.

"Wake up, my little Rose~!" whispered a gentle voice through the eardrums of Ruby Rose who had been sleeping while the curtains were drawn closed and Ruby Rose moaned a little in her sleep and slowly got up, opening her mouth she let out a cute yawn and stretched her arms as a few tears leaked out of the corners of her eyes to get rid of the dust in her eyes.

"Mhm~? Mommy~?" muttered Ruby wondering if she was dreaming and opened up her eyes to look into Silver Eyes filled with warmth and kindness as the eyes of Summer Rose looked like they had been filled with only those 2 things.

"Good morning my little Rose~!" said Summer with her gentle smile as she rose up and slowly drew the curtains open for her little girl to adjust to the sunlight and wanted to actually squeal when Ruby woke up, but she knew the unpleasant way of waking up by too much sound and Ruby never cried a lot when she was an infant so why not give some back in appreciation.

"Mommy~?" than Ruby truly woke up and her eyes widened up at seeing the face again of her supposed deceased mother and her expression turned into one of disbelief at seeing the beautiful face of her mother again, tears streamed down her cheeks like a river at the sight that she never thought she would be able to see again. "Mommy!"

Summer turned around and almost fell on her back when Ruby tackled her with full force and she wanted to ask why Ruby was crying but she felt that Ruby needed to be calmed down and allowed her daughter to simply weep in her arms, sometimes it was the best for people to simply cry and let all that frustration out instead of hiding or storing it. But the eyes of Ruby told her that she was like in a terrifying nightmare that wasn't easily forgotten at all and would forever linger in her thoughts, that nightmare was so bad and must have been going on for hours for her little Rose and if she found the one who terrified her little girl they would feel her wrath.

"Don't go, mommy! Don't ever go away!" whimpered Ruby out and despite that she was an adult in mind one of the things she had always wished was to see her mother one more time and it was granted, she didn't forget what she needed to do but she simply wanted to relish in this moment of happiness of seeing and feeling her mother in flesh and not only in memories.

After Ruby was done crying she simply lied to her mother that she had a terrible dream or a nightmare which was for those 6 years on the battlefield and all that death she had seen, she had now something else to do and that was bringing all the stuff to Jaune while the rest she could keep since that was for her and her Uncle Qrow...she hasn't seen him since he had died on the battlefield.

Wait! She had to send those items straight to Jaune and-!

'But when you come there don't do it right away since you need to get rid of some Traumas and heal for the time...at least for a whole day,' voiced the voice of Jaune in her head again calming Ruby down in an instant of hearing her friend's voice again, the mixture of worry and not wanting to force anyone to worry about themselves and the mission calmed the girl with the mind of an adult woman. 'You didn't think we would let you do this on your own...right?'

"No, in no way you would allow anyone to burden themselves with everything," whispered Ruby fondly as she walked down the stairs and knew she had to act like a child again and that brought a smile to her face to experience what it once was like a child has enjoyed his or her days to the fullest with the simple things, not to worry about the adult conversations and lessons and the future yet.

"Hey, slept well Ruby?" asked Yang who came up and then got the air knocked out of her lungs when her little sister Ruby tackled her with full force, and as strong as Yang was for her age Ruby always seemed to manage to knock her out with her tackles of love. Even her dad couldn't stand up straight after a tackle of Ruby and oddly enough her mother Summer could actually keep standing.

"Yang!" shouted Ruby.

"O-Ouch! Ruby!" groaned Yang.

"Ehehehe! Sorry, Yang," laughed Ruby sheepishly as she got off Yang who was catching her breath back that had been knocked out of her lungs.

Taiyang the father of the 2 girls merely laughed at that his eldest daughter who boasted far more strength then him got knocked down by Ruby who didn't have monstrous strength but she was very fast that Yang can't help but get surprised every time, but his laughter was soon knocked out of him literally as Ruby slammed into his chest and made him stumble and since he was standing with his back against the kitchen counter his head banged against one of the upper counters. For a moment Taiyang was still standing until his body's reaction acted and the amount of force knocked against the back of his head made him slide down and knocked out.

"Ruby, don't go slamming against your father and sister any time soon! We don't want them to get to the hospital if it weren't for their Aura," scolded Summer lightly as she tilted her daughter up with Ruby giggling in delight. It was fine to be back home and not on the barren deathfield filled with corpses and that ruined the warm moment, Ruby would apologize if she knew someone was watching but years on the battlefield and just arriving back home through time travel didn't erase memories. Besides that, she had something to do that depending on the world's fate that meant either destruction of the world or salvation of the world, and all she had to do was give something to Jaune and Qrow to save it from destruction and put 2 people to eternal rest.

It sounds like some kind of Fairy Tale story but through the years she got so used to the fact that magic used to exist, that there were Gods, people have been underestimating Aura a little bit too much, Empires and Kingdoms existed, and that Ozpin used to be the lover of Salem and that the building that acted as Beacon Academy was the prison of Salem when she used to be mortal, human, and...sane.

For the rest of the day, Ruby did everything that Jaune ordered her to do to heal and it sounded like incredibly harsh that it was an order from Jaune although if you looked better in it he had known Ruby for years and knows exactly what she would try to do, she was paranoid more than him and it didn't suit her but it was about what he knew she would do and that was ignore everything he says. He had a reason why he gave it out as an order from him as he would've made a great General with his strategic planning and precognition of enemy movements and if he could do that so good then predicting a good friend's actions was easy. Ruby had to rest and the condition she was in would've thrown a wrench in his plans that he had carefully planned once he was done with theorizing the circles, he had been planning what to do and all the alternative things that can happen if one small thing was changed then a lot could change but he counted it out since Ruby was in Patch.

Outside of the cabin house, Ruby was by a small lake that her father had built and looked at the lilypads and the flower buds closed and not blooming at all and that disappointed the girl a bit since she loved this type of flower and as much as she loves Roses, Lily Flowers held a special place in her heart as it calmed her down in ways she never expected to. In the battlefield, she would rarely see any flowers on the burnt soil nor the waters that didn't look that clean anymore with all the destructions and ash that have landed near it.

As much as she wanted to enjoy everything here and relish longer in the glow of being in a family again she wanted to go back straight into the action but something calmed her down and fought her paranoia down, Ruby breathed in and out and felt very tired as she needed some sleep for now and not even the sleep she had those years ago in the past future was only worth a few hours. Did time-travel affect sleep as well...she wasn't going to think something as pointless as that and as Jaune told her she needed to rest.

"Mommy...sweepy~!" yawned Ruby and she felt immediately that she got lifted off the ground as Summer gently carried her daughter back to her room.

Necros: So another story similar to that of the Return of the Evolving Dragon, I hope you enjoy it and the Return of the Evolving Dragon will draw to a closer end as the Manga of Akame Ga Kill Zero is almost over. Poor Tsukushi and Akame and now for me to work on the next chapters of my other stories!
