I don't own RWBY.
Ruby Rose was a normal girl. No matter what her sister said. No matter what her teammates said. No matter what anyone else said.
Ruby knew se was perfectly normal. Yes, she got into Beacon two years earlier, but that was because she impressed the Headmaster. A normal reaction, she would've done the same, maybe… probably.
Still she was just your average 15-year-old, sneaking her hand out of her partner's stuff with her with said partner's binder in hand. Nothing out of the normal, and she could explain her actions.
She had just survived her first semester in Beacon, without getting in (too much) trouble and today was going to start the second one! So, she wanted to plan out the whole day with her team. Her team! How awesome did that sound?! She was made leader!
She wondered what they could do today, since all classes were going to be about what they would see and look at the rules again, they basically had a free day! Maybe they could go downtown to the arcade, or to a restaurant (if Weiss is feeling generous), or the movies, or the weapons shop, or stay in Beacon and practice, maybe go to the Emerald Forest or- or- or so many options!
She heard a yawn behind her and quickly hid the binder under her skirt.
"Ruby?" Blake was awake, she always tended to be the one to wake first, she was second, Yang third and Weiss was always last, maybe it had something to do with the White Fang "What are you doing up so early?"
"Oh, you know, new semester, new classes, closer to being a full fledged huntress, I just couldn't contain my excitement!" Half-truths were the best; she was lying but at the same time not.
Blake chuckled lightly "Yeah I guess it's pretty exciting" she said "I'll go take a shower" she was taking a shower now? At 4 am? She usually took them at 6- Ruby looked at her scroll '6:04 am' "wow time sure flies" she mumbled as she jumped into her hanging bed to get some sleep.
She was certain she didn't know how time worked sometimes, but all she knew was that today was going to be AWESOME!
Few hours later
Ruby P.O.V
This was perfect!
All the classes they had, including Goodwitch's, had only lasted 15-20 minutes, which gave them even more free time.
I had excused herself from her team saying she was going to leave her scroll charging at her dorms, which was true, but also the perfect opportunity to go grab the binder.
I saw them all sitting across from Team JNPR, Weiss and Blake seemed to be eating normally while Yang was eating food thrown at her by Nora.
It was time to make her entrance. I put the Binder now dubbed 'Best Day Ever' in front of them
"Sister, Friends, Weiss" I heard Weiss yell 'hey!' but I continued "Four score and seven minutes ago I had a dream" they didn't need to know it was actually four hours ago "a dream that one day the four of us would come together as a team, and have the most fun anyone has ever had, EVER!"
"Did you steal my binder?"
"I am not a crook" I quickly replied.
"What are you talking about?" Blake asked intrigued.
"I am talking about starting the semester with a Bang!"
"Well I'm starting my semester with a Yang! Eh? Guys? Am I rig-uh what the-?" Yang looked over Blake for some reason before getting hit by an apple from Nora.
"Look it's been two good" "Ruby quiet" I stopped abruptly. 'Yang had never shut me up before' I got worried "Yang what's wrong?"
Blake and Weiss also seemed confused. Yang looked too serious.
"Look" she said pointing her finger at across the room.
We all looked over to where she was pointing and we saw a team of three, they seemed to be missing a member, although for some reason they were looking at the same spot wide eyes.
"Yang what are we supposed to be looking at?" Weiss asked worried by the change of tone in the mood.
"Their fourth member was with them" she responded.
"Sis? I don't get it maybe he or she went to the restroom or-" "The guy turned into dust" Yang once again interrupted me, but we were also shocked. What did she mean?
"Yang what do yo-"
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!" a scream was heard, and we all turned to see a random student turn into dust in front of our eyes.
My eyes went wide and I think so were my team's, I looked over at Jaune and his team, and they seemed like they had also seen that.
Another scream was heard, we turned again, and another student disappeared.
Suddenly the cafeteria was filled with screams and people suddenly turning into dust.
It was pandemonium all of the sudden.
My team and team JNPR all quickly stood up and rushed at each other.
"Ruby, what's going on?!" Jaune asked looking at me with wide and very frightened eyes.
"I don't know, but we have to get out of here, maybe is something in the cafeteria" all of us nodded and quickly rushed at the nearest window, since the door was being cramped by all the students trying to get out.
"Get back everyone!" Yang yelled as she punched the window three times before breaking it. We quickly jumped out the window and breathed a sigh of relief.
Our relief disappeared when we heard people still screaming. We saw all around us. People were still turning into dust. People were still dying.
"B-Blake?" I heard Yang quietly call over, we all looked towards Blake and saw her look back at us wide eyed, I could see her skin starting to crack.
"Blake don't move" I ordered but it was all for naught, as we felt the wind pick up, and with it Blake.
"BLAKE!" Yang cried out, with tears starting to stream down her face, I could feel some forming in my eyes too trying to come to terms with what I just saw.
Blake was gone. Dead.
So fast and so sudden we didn't know what to do.
"J-Jaune?" we all heard Pyrrha and we all felt our hearts jump to our throats, she was extending her hands out to Jaune as if trying to reach him.
"Pyrrha?" Jaune said weakly, as he attempted to grab Pyrrha's hand, but as soon as he touched it it turned into dust, quickly consuming her.
"Jaune I lo-" she was gone before she could even finish her sentence.
"I'M GOING TO FIND WHOEVER IS BEHIND THIS AND I'LL –" Yang's rant was stopped. Dust was falling from where she used to be.
My head hurt, I didn't know what was happening. This had to be a nightmare.
It was a nightmare. Just a nightmare. Just a nightmare. Just a .Justanightmarejustanightmare.
It wasn't a nightmare.
"This is a devastating day for Remnant, millions of people suddenly turned into du-"
"General Ironwood has issued a State of Emergency, Atlas has greatly suff-"
"We have confirmed that Weiss Schnee and Willow Schnee are the last Schnee with the death of former CEO Jacques, Weiss Schnee is the new CE-"
"Beacon's and Haven's headmaster appear to have been the only ones who disappeared, this was confirmed by the deputies of both acade-"
"Headcounts have finished in Atlas-"
"-have finished in Menagerie-"
"-shed in Vacuo-"
"-in Mistral-"
"-Vale-"
"Half of the population has ceased to exist"
When I finished watching the snap but it affects various heroes I decided to write this hope you enjoy it. Also I don't own Marvel.
