Quick Authors note up here, this is the second part to a much larger story. I strongly recommend you go read Roses Among Heroes first.
Hi, I am just your ordinary everyday school girl, except for all of the super crazy stuff that has happened to me.
Such as being sent to another world by accident after wacthing one of my freinds being murdered, finding my long lost mother, fighting super robots to get into high school, attacked by a mobster several times, loseing my mom to a mancalled the Hero Killer. Falling in love with the class manly man. Nearly getting killed several times I found my murdered freind not dead, because devine interference. I then got kidnapped by my grandfather's super villain gang and transformed me into a demon. I had a chess match against a god when this happened. Fought grandpa with the world's number one hero All Might, who I call Smiles.
I returned to my world to try and my family and teammates, in the process finding a lost city named Helen with a fully sentient grimm Arachne named Menzro, Who was guarding a long dead princess named Corinthia. Turns out I'm also a princess of this city... huh then again it fell 40,000 thousand years ago, there must be loads of people who are as well. Menzro firmly kicked our collective asses.
So all in all, we had just ended Salem's attempt to destroy Haven Academy, Cinder is dead, Mom is back. We have a undead Princess named Corinthia and her Arachne painter bodyguard Menzro. Dad is the son of a super villain, my sister and I are Maidens.
This is the story of how I became the Reaper Hero; Red Huntress, one of the Pillars of Peace.
I am Ruby Rose, and this is my story, My Hero Academia
Roses Among Heroes; Reapers Honor
Chapter 1: Leaving Remnant again.
I woke up under the heavy green blanket, squished under Kiri again like every morning, his snoring filing the room. I wrestled my way out from under him until I was looking at his face, and traced my finger over his scar on his chest. Jaune had done a good job on patching everyone up. Slowly I brought my hand up to his face and lightly tapped him a few times to wake him up. His red eyes were clouded over as he blinked the drowsiness of sleep away. "Good morning Kiri." I poked his nose with a smile on my face.
"Good morning Rubes." He smiled back, his sharp pointed teeth formed his dumb morning grin. He brushed my hair out of my face with his hand. "You really shouldn't be in here." He said.
"Who's going to stop me?" I settled down next to him. "Besides, you make a nice pillow until I wake up as yours."
He ruffled my hair as he sighed. "If your dad catches us were dead."
"I got you covered kid." Our heads snapped to the window sill where Qrow was sitting. "I'll keep him away from the door." He rocked back and fell out the window.
We scrambled out of bed and got dressed. Kiri turning away from me as I pulled on my tights to fight with his belt. Sticking our heads out the door we didn't see anyone but as I took my first step out I felt someone looking at me. I checked again, and from the crack of her door I saw her lamp like eyes and the full face blush of Blake. I slowly put my finger to my mouth and shook my head no. 'Please no, I don't need her getting ideas.'
She mouthed "How was it?"
I slowly creeped over to her. She opened her door. "Nothing happened." I told her, "You've been reading to many of those books."
"You read my books!" She whispered yelled.
"To be fair you never said we couldn't..." I had a blush on my face. "I enjoyed it though." I tapped my finger tips together.
"Well... Grrr, fine, let's just get some breakfast." She still had blush on her face.
We sat at the table, Bakugo doing his best to not get annoyed with Yang's puns, Hatsume Sitting in the corner with everyone's weapons and a plate of pancakes, Iida and Weiss seemed to be getting along, Ren was holding Nora back as he cooked pancakes with mom. Tai and Qrow were talking about something, Aizawa had fallen asleep in his sleeping bag. Corinthia was trying to learn from Menzro, with little success. Her hand writing was horrible. Kirishima and Kyoka were laughing at Bakugo's anger. Jaune was talking to a girl I haven't met before.
"You weren't kidding when you said she was a Grimm." She said to Blake.
"Uh... Hi." I waved, "I'm Blake's team leader Ruby."
"I'm Ilia, one of Blake's old friends, I'm actually going with you guys, to Earth was it?" She asked.
"Oh... I didn't know." I said, "Where's Smiles?" I asked as I looked around.
"He took Zwei out for a jog." Dad said, "Big guy seems fond of the little guy."
A few block down in the park. "Okay now, roll over." All Might told Zwei. All he got was a lopsided look and a lolling tongue. "I said roll over." The man put his hands on his hips. The dog just backed happily and fell on his side. A woman passed a giggled at the sight of the massive man and tiny dog. "I said roll over boy. If you do I have a treat for you." He pulled out a massive steak wrapped in brown paper. "Now roll over." Again the dog barked, only on his back and his paws in the air, moving as if he was walking. "Please." The dog fell to the same side he had rolled onto. "That's the wrong way." He pulled at his face. "I can't even teach a dog."
"Well who isn't?" Weiss asked.
"Keep him away from my room." Blake said as she sat down as a plate of...
"Mom is that tuna pancakes?" Yang asked as we looked at our teammate who was more then happy to dig in.
I mouthed to Ilia, "Was she always like this?"
She gave a sad nod. "She likes fish a little to much." She mouthed back.
"So when are we getting home?" Hatsume asked as she flipped her googles up. "I have my babies to work on back at UA. And what I have learned here will allow me to make some incredible support gear." I rolled my eyes, a few days of poking around with other peoples weapons will never give her the talent of someone like me.
"Wait where is Monoma?" Iida asked.
"He's training down stairs." Dad said. "Boy is determined, if a bit obsessed with the rivalry between your classes."
"You don't know the half of it." I groaned, my back popped loudly as I leaned back. "We should leave after lunch. Jaune I need to talk with you about something." I looked at the blonde knight and he nodded while finishing his plate.
We stood in his room, his armor strewn about on the dresser. "What is it?" He asked.
"It's about Pyrrha." I looked at the ground, "She wanted you to move on, I'm sorry that she couldn't be here to say it herself." I said, "I'm such a failure."
"Nope." Is all he said.
"Nope?" I asked as I sat on the bed.
"Nope, I will never fully move on from her, she was my partner, I can't do that to her memory, maybe one day I can move on one day perhaps, but I'm not letting go, not now not ever. And nope, you're not a failure." I looked at him, was this really the same boy I had met back on the first day of Beacon?
"But..." I started.
"No buts Ruby, you are a leader, you're not allowed to be a failure. Because if you fail, you only drag them down with you." He sat next to me. "When you vanished I had to step up, so I went to your father for training. Now, you have to find a mentor for you."
"But I have teachers." I said.
"Not a teacher, a mentor. Someone to help you mold yourself into a true Hero. That is what you still want to be a hero of legends right?"
I packed my clothes away in my bag, I picked up the broken Grimm mask, busted yet again, almost like it didn't want to be worn. Oh well I will be putting a request in for several different masks anyways. I picked up my battle crown and ran my hand over the gem design inlaid in the silver. A rose made of thin cut rubies. I picked at the end of my horn as I bounced it in my hand.
"Hello Ruby." Ozpin said from the doorway.
I looked at the boy he had been reincarnated into. Pulled from his home because of a curse. "What do you want Ozma?" I asked.
"I'm not Ozma, I haven't been for thousands of years." He shook his head. "You think I only accepted you into Beacon because of your eye color?" He asked.
"Looking back at Glynda's response to you, yes, yes I do." I said, "What of the soul that originally owned the body? Did you make him come?"
"I see you have become somewhat jaded." He said, dodging my question.
"Having a mobster trying to kill you several times will do that. I had a talk with Salem last night." I said, catching him of guard.
"How..." he began to ask.
"I don't dream anymore, it's more of a shut down feeling. Except for when she want to talk. Praising my power, trying to say she can teach me to use my power. Ruling by her side as I should, making me immortal. It's quite annoying really." I held out my hand and a purple flame danced in my palm. "She wants my power for herself."
"Well you did gain power directly from a god, who knows what your limits are." He reasoned.
"Which is why I need to stay away from Remnant, I can't have her whispering lies to me in my sleep." I closed my hand, the flame dying with a smoke ring rising up to the ceiling. "But I also can't believe everything you say."
"It seems I have some work to regain your trust." He said.
"I trust you for now, but know this, I'm not one of your Maidens."
I feel like that is a decent enough place to end it for today.
