Ruby felt annoyed as she was currently being hugged by some alternate universe version of her sister.
"I am so proud of you!" Yang was leaping for joy hugging Ruby as tightly as she could. But despite the annoyance, Ruby couldn't help the little minuscule smile that was creeping in. At least some things remain the same across universes. But aside from that, she was tuning everything out. Though she noted a few other things about Yang. Namely. Why the fuck doesn't she have any abs? She's still a brawler, I can see that much but where are the fucking abs? And why are her hugs so wimpy? Ruby didn't like the sound of things so far. Some schmuck was vomiting, and the news program was talking about Roman Torchwick's arrest but not mentioning the woman who was part, Grimm. Must be some kind of terrorist or some shit they don't want to talk about. She thought about grilling Yang, but she didn't want to raise too much suspicion. "Oh speaking of sis…" There was a sense of foreboding that came over Ruby, as she recognized that tone in Yang's voice. "I see you got new clothes… did you go shopping without me?" Ruby quickly escaped from her sister's grasp, and dashed outside, thankful that the ship had finally arrived at Beacon.
And she was far from impressed. This is the kind of school that people go to… to apply to be fully trained hunters? Oh sure it was impressive it was isolated, had a big tower, but otherwise. She felt an underwhelming feeling. I guess I should have expected as much… I mean good word, this Vale place is so small...and tiny. Ruby had to wonder how they had managed to make it this far, if from what little she could guess by eavesdropping on a few conversations. She had heard about how Grimm pretty much dominated most of the planet. With not many other options, she decided that she might as well wander around for a bit. Silver eyes looked around, surroundings being reflected in them like a mirror. It was there she noticed a girl with long white hair, in a sideways ponytail with a tiara, and dressed like some kind of ballerina.
Her interest peaked, she decided to see what the heck some little snowflake was doing at a place like Beacon. Walking over she saw that the girl even had butlers unloading her luggage. "Seriously?" Ruby asked with a raised eyebrow. "Fucking butlers? What you too fucking good to haul your own shit? Or are you just lazy?" The girl turned around, icy eyes starring daggers at Ruby. But Ruby merely took out a cigar, lit it, and blew a ring of smoke in the girl's direction.
"Do you even know who I am?" The girl coughed and swatted away the smoke.
"Based on your outfit and skin. I am gonna call ya Snowflake. That's your name now." Ruby grinned wolfishly.
"THAT IS NOT MY NAME. IT'S-" Snowflake was cut off by another person.
"Weiss Schnee. Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company." The new person entered the picture, her bow lightly swaying in the wind, dressed in a white and black ensemble, that more than helped emphasize her hips, and amber eyes observed the pair.
"Neat. I don't give a fuck who she is. She's a little shit that's no better than us." Ruby said bluntly. The girl smirked just a small fraction at that.
"You!" Weiss' face turned bright red. "My family owns the largest supply of dust! We support Atlas to the fullest! AND WE DESE-" Ruby slapped Weiss cutting off her tirade.
"Again. You're no fucking better, you showed up to be some kind of fucking huntress. Guess what? Being a huntress means you're working alongside others who didn't all come from some fancy family. And I doubt when shit hits the that anyone else will care." Ruby then walked over to the mysterious girl with black hair. "As for you. Name's Ruby Rose, what's your name?" She asked the girl.
"Blake Belladonna," Blake said as Ruby took out a cigar.
"Cool. Want to go check out the rest of Beacon before we have to get to the bloody meeting place?" Ruby asked.
"...Uhh," Blake said shyly. "I have somewhere else to be." She said scratching the back of her head.
"Fair enough." Ruby lit up her cigar and marched away. Blake then walked away, while Weiss rubbed her stinging cheek, and she grumbled to herself as she hefted a heavy-looking suitcase. Behind her, a certain blond boy was approaching, but when Weiss turned around, she hit the boy with such force to his jaw, that he was sent flying away! Though Weiss never noticed him flying. But he would recover later, thankfully having landed in the arms of a nearby red-headed girl, that unlocked his aura, after noticing his injury.
Later That Night.
The pungent odor of a cigar found its way to Blake. And then she heard a sound, as someone sat beside her. "Huh, reading smut so openly? Quite daring." Blake looked at Ruby, who grinned at her, and it was then that Blake noticed Ruby sitting next to her in nothing but sports bra and briefs, and without the clothing, she had been wearing that showed little to no skin, it became clear that Ruby was powerfully built, with strong biceps, toned legs, a good deal of bulk, but nothing overexaggerated, but this was a young woman who was powerful, and Blake found herself staring at Ruby's abs, as well as her arms.
"I uh..." Blake was speechless.
"What's the book about?" Ruby asked her.
"It's about a man with two souls," Blake said, wanting to go back to reading her book. "And it's not smut..." She whispered the last part quietly.
"Hmm really now? Because I recognize that author's name. Didn't they also write ninjas of love? Three was okay if a little boring." Ruby smirked, and Blake slammed her book shut.
"How dare you?! It was a masterpiece!" Blake nearly shouted.
"They couldn't even get their weapon terminology right. Not to mention, the third act breakup was contrived." Ruby pointed out.
"Yes, but the passion was amazing!" Blake exclaimed, a blush on her face.
"Not saying it wasn't but you had to slog through some shit to get there. Besides Ten is easily the best one." Ruby smirked.
"Okay... you got me there," Blake admitted a little defeated.
"So what brought you here?" Ruby asked her. "I know the snowflake wants to please some vague family legacy. And big-boobied Yang over there wants some fucking adventure, but what about you?" Ruby asked, puffing more smoke from the cigar.
"I wanted something simple," Blake admitted.
"Ah no, shades of grey then. Just kill the monsters, save the day, rinse and repeat, and maybe drink some goddamn tea. Though I personally fucking hate tea. It's too mellow, and makes me sleepy as fuck." Ruby snorted, making Blake chuckle a bit. "I can respect that." She smirked.
"What about you?" Blake asked her putting the book down.
"To be honest Bookworm. And yes that is your nickname from now on. I am bit a lost right now and trying to find my fucking way. And I am good at fucking shit up, so might as well go with what I do best." Ruby smirked. "Sounds like we both want simple shit. So..." Ruby extended a hand to Blake. "Friends?" She asked.
"Friends." Blake shook her hand.
"Aww, I knew my sis could make a friend!" Yang was practically crying tears of joy, and Ruby sighed in annoyance.
"Don't worry about it, just ignore her and she will go away. And don't reply to any of her puns." Ruby said, and Yang began fuming. The two sisters eventually argued while Blake watched with interest before picking up her book again and reading it.
All the while Weiss was fuming in the corner, glaring at the trio, but knew better than to approach them, lest she get slapped again by that thuggish Ruby.
The Initiation
Ruby stood on the cliff, listening to Ozpin drone on. It seemed simple enough, somehow the landing pads were gonna launch them. They would go into the forest, find some partner to be paired up with for the next few years. And then end up on some kind of team. It sounded dumb as hell to Ruby, the only thing she could comment about was that it had a little merit in getting unexpected people to work together, that's if it worked perfectly. So off she went flying, soaring through the air, turning into a flurry of Rose Petals, flying around until she touched down on the ground with a crash, her aura cushioning her fall.
"Okay cunt. You gotta find someone to be your partner, beat the shit out of any Grimm. Easy shit that even Zwei could do." Ruby marched through the forest, a Grimm snarled at her. The monster towered over her, with fur the color of black, a solid white mask that opened with a jaw, with red markings, and glowing yellow hateful eyes, and it seemed more like a humanoid wolf. The wolf snarled and ran at Ruby, but the girl didn't even flinch, instead, she glared at the Beowolf as it was known in that world harshly, and the creature screeched to a halt, and then if anyone had been watching, something like fear seemed to affect the Grimm, and it ran away from the pissed-off Ruby. "Boo." She said, and every Grimm that had been stalking her, all joined the Beowolf in running away.
Grimm while not truly intelligent save for those that lived long enough, they still possessed some animalistic instinct. And their instincts warned them with all their might that this lone girl was beyond anything they could face, that it would result in their extermination. And it created a fear that they had never felt, and made them run, rather than try and face the monstrous little girl.
Ruby continued marching, hearing some grumbling in the distance of where some of the Grimm had fled. She narrowly stepped out of the way of a giant spike of Ice, and she casually leaned against a tree afterward, noticing the Snowflake fighting against a group of Grimm. "So you're not shit after all. You can actually fight." Ruby chuckled, as she watched the snowflake dance around like a dancer of death, she was fast and nimble, the Grimm couldn't lay one claw on her. Weiss briefly looked at the girl and cursed her luck for being the first one to make eye contact with her.
"I have this under control!" Weiss snapped, as she effortlessly stabbed her rapier through the skull of a beowolf, dispatching it. She then blocked a sneak attack on her rear, with a floating glyph.
"Eh. Maybe. But we're partners now. So that means I gotta save your ass at some point." There was then a flash of silver light, and the Grimm were erased before Weiss' very eyes, though she herself was blinded for a time.
"What the-" Weiss was confused.
"It's a special trick of mine. Don't worry your little head about it. Now come the fuck on. You heard the guy. Get the things, and get the fuck out." Ruby moved past the speechless Weiss, also casually ignoring the blond boy stuck in a tree, hanging by a spear. With Grimm too afraid to even come near Ruby, they made it to the site, of an ancient-looking place, and there were chess pieces. Also, there were four boys, already making off with their own pieces. The leader of said boys was a brunette with blue eyes, and wearing heavy armor, and was more powerfully built than the blond in the tree. Ruby and him locked eyes, the two were sizing each other up, a silent battle of dominance.
The boy quickly backed up at the wolfish grin on Ruby's face, knowing he had lost. And wasn't going to risk messing with her.
"Let's just go." The boy said to his minions and they fled from the scene. Ruby chuckling as she walked over to the site, and picked up a piece, Weiss followed suit.
"So what now?" Weiss asked. "We just head back to the extraction point?" She asked.
"Hmm. No. We could do that, but it's probably best if we get a team or some shit. So let's just fucking wait for a bit." Ruby then sat down, and reached into her cloak, and pulled out a flask, much to Weiss' shock.
"You're drinking? In this forest, right now of all times?" Weiss was baffled by this behavior.
"What you want some? It's tequila. Not a bad brand if I say so myself." Ruby held the flask out to her, and Weiss recoiled.
"No!" Weiss huffed.
"Eh suit yourself." Ruby untwisted the cap and then began drinking. After a period of time, everyone eventually made it. The same blond flying right next to them, along with a red-headed girl. Along with a ginger girl, and a boy that had a pink stripe in his hair. Along with this world's version of her sister, and Blake. "About fucking time. So for my team, I pick Yang, and whoever the hell she partnered up with. So what happened to you dork?" She tapped the downed blond boy lightly with her boot.
"Cave. Scary Grimm." The boy rasped out. "Jaune Arc…" Whatever else he was gonna say was cut off as a giant scorpion entered the scene.
"Eh well cheer up Buttercup." Ruby rustled Jaune's hair. "You didn't fucking die, so you got that going at least." Ruby then took out Crescent Rose, as she saw the massive Scorpion Grimm charging towards them. She would later learn it was called a Deathstalker.
"Ruby don't!" Yang reached out for her sister, to stop her from facing such a dangerous monster on her own, but then with a single swing of Crescent Rose, a massive wave of red aura, completely destroyed the Grimm, and Ruby took out a cigar and began smoking in celebration. Everyone's jaws dropped including the teachers who were watching from the cameras.
"Too fucking easy." She huffed and then walked past everyone, conversely unknown to her, the red wave had continued traveling past the Deathstalker, right into the air, where it also took out a distant Nevermore Grimm, and just about narrowly missed Uncle Qrow in his bird form. Later that day, Ozpin who had been watching the whole thing, decided to pair up the teams, deciding to go with Ruby's recommendation of making Team RWBY, and while he wasn't entirely convinced of her leadership, there was no denying her immense power and skill, so it was a shoe-in to make her the team leader.
A/N: Eh I figured Jaune doesn't always deserve a beatdown. But I count let's see two ownings? Like a Jaune Owned count.
