Chapter 1

The sound of a door being forcefully pushed open so hard it hit the wall brought Celene's attention back to the scene in front of her. The girl that had just jumped out the window was staring up at someone else still inside. The piece of metal she was holding unfolded and expanded into a humongous red and black scythe. She swung it around and impaled it into the ground.

No matter how many times Celene had watched this scene, it never ceased to amaze her. An annoyed voice said "Get her!" And a bunch of men dressed in black ran out to meet the red cloaked girl that you knew as Ruby Rose. She lifter her scythe and slashed at one of the man. Another met a similar fate. One started shooting at her, but she zipped around, avoiding the bullets and hit him so that he flew into the air. She then proceeded to jump up and swing at him again, hammering him into the ground.

She hadn't noticed one of the henchmen that had avoided her scythe, and was now creeping around to her back to ambush her. Another man who Celene knew as Roman Torchwick was distracting the red hooded girl. The man creeping up behind Ruby was going about unnoticed. She realized that he was about to attack, but Roman still held the girl's full attention.

A long, sharp ended shard of glass was lying on the ground. Celene picked it up, and without thinking, lunged at the man, and plunged the shard deep into his right shoulder. This caught the man by surprise, and he swung his sword, not yet feeling the pain. Celene instinctively ducked under the swing and punched the man, disorienting him. She kicked him in the head, hard, rendering him unconscious. Both Ruby and Torchwick saw the man crumple to the ground. Roman shifted his gaze between the two of them. He looked rather annoyed. Ruby was staring at Celene, surprised yet grateful. She pointed back to Torchwick who was glaring at Ruby.

"You were worth every cent, truly you were." Roman said to himself while lightly kicking one of the unconscious men. He raised his voice so that both Celene and Ruby could hear him. "Well, Red, random girl I've never seen before, I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening." He crushed his cigar and lifted his cane. "And as much as I'd love to stick around, I believe this, is where we part ways." The bottom of his cane opened, and he shot a kind of exploding flare at Ruby. The recoil of her gun shot her up above the flare.

Celene knew where Roman was going, so before the smoke could even begin to clear, she ran over to where she knew the ladder was. She started to climb, but Roman was already way above her. Ruby immediately saw where she was and got on top of the roof just after Celene did.

Roman ran to the end of the roof, and a bullhead flew out from behind the building. Its bright light seemed to faze Ruby, but it completely blinded Celene. They both heard a *clink* and Ruby looked down to see the flame crystal that had just landed near her. Celene just barely managed to see Torchwick raising his cane, and without thinking, she pushed Ruby off to the side.

Just before the flare could reach the dust crystal, a figure dropped own in between Celene and the Bullhead. A blonde woman with a flowy purple cape shot bolts of energy at the bullhead, knocking it off balance and stopping it from immediately taking off. A few clouds formed in the sky, and ice shards rained down on the Bullhead, shattering most of its windows. A woman in a red flame dust infused dress caused a few explosions on the roof, all of which the older woman, that Celene knew as Glynda Goodwitch, dodged. She manipulated the pieces of the burned roof and turned them into a spear, which she launched at the bullhead.

The woman with the red dress and conveniently shadowed face who Celene knew as Cinder Fall, shot a large wave of fire that completely destroyed the spear. Ruby had finally gotten up, and she started firing dust rounds at Cinder, who blocked all of them with her aura. The bullhead turned around, and took off.

Ruby stared incredulously at Glynda before stating "You're a huntress." Celene mentally face palmed at what Ruby was about to say next. "Can I have your autograph?!"

Celene found herself in a dark room, sitting next to the red cloaked girl while Ms. Goodwitch lectured the both of them. Celene was mostly ignoring what Glynda said, and instead trying to remember every detail of the RWBY animation series. She was snapped out of her reminiscing when Glynda smacked her with her riding crop and she didn't dodge it. "There is someone here who would like to meet you." The woman said. Ozpin...Celene immediately thought.

A gray haired man walked through the door, holding a plate of cookies, and a coffee mug. He stepped up to Ruby and said, "Ruby Rose... You have Silver eyes." Ruby was confused. Celene wasn't, although she wouldn't tell THEM that. He held up a video monitor, which was replaying Ruby's fight. He paused it just before it got to the part where Celene jumped in. "Where did you learn to do this?" Ruby stuttered something, but Celene tuned the rest of it out. She did grab a cookie when Ozpin put the plate down though. Finally, he dismissed Ruby, and turned to her. She immediately snapped out of her trance. A quick glance around the room showed that Glynda had also left.

"I don't believe I've ever seen you around here Miss..." He trailed off waiting for Celene to give her name.

Well, I can't tell him my name is Celene, it'll sound weird to him. I should make my name here in Remnant a color. A strand of her dark brown hair caught her eye, and decided on a shade of brown. "Ochre." She shyly said. And Ozpin nodded before continuing.

"Miss Ochre, there are no records of you, and I've certainly never seen you around Patch or Vale before." Celene was about to say something before he continued, but he held his hand up, stopping her. "However, the way you fought showed a mastery of the martial arts, and stopping to help Miss Rose shows that you are an honest person." Celene tilted her head slightly as if to say 'Get to the point.' "I'm offering you a spot at Beacon Academy, which is a school to train Huntsman and Huntresses to fight the creatures of Grimm." Celene's eyes lit up. "I just need to know your age, and last name."

She thought for a minute. The name just pooped into her head. Her mother's favorite flowers: Zinnias. "Z-zinnia. And also, how many days are there in a year?" She asked. "Ozpin looked at her curiously. " A full year is typically 310 days why do you ask?" Okay so 365 times 14 divided by 310 is... Rounds off to... "16. I'm 16." She tells the headmaster.

Ozpin smiles warmly. "Thank you Ms. Ochre. A bullhead will come by tomorrow to pick up any students going to Beacon from Patch. I will see you and Miss Rose at Beacon." And with that he left.

Celene sat there for a moment, trying to take it all in. She was going to Beacon. She was going to Beacon. She was going to Beacon. As in, where Team RWBY and JNPR will form. Where Cinder and Salem were going to start their plan of taking down the four kingdoms.

This is her chance to fix everything. She could possibly stop the Fall of Beacon from ever happening!

Having not even been in Remnant for a day, Celene was going to Beacon, where she would do everything within her power to stop Cinder.

How she was going to do it? Well, she'd cross that bridge when she got there.

But things were starting to look up for her, and she was ready to take on whatever this world had to throw at her.

She ran out the door, ready to start her new life in Remnant.

Just thought it'd be important to know that in this fanfic, Signal Academy is on Patch and Beacon is in Vale.
