Chapter 6 Aftermath

Key

"Character speaking"

'Character thinking'

"Texas Nnnnnoooooo!" Ruby cried as she watched the ship's rear turrets launch into the sky.

She needed to get over to Texas and maybe rescue her, but Ruby had no energy left after her "fight" with the paladin. She yet again collapsed and the last thing Ruby could hear was a loud jet engine from an approaching Atlas gunship.

"What have we recovered from the cargo ship so far?" Winter impatiently asked the soldiers who were awating news from the gunship.

"We don't know yet sir, however the other ship appears to be somewhat stable despite the explosion caused by the retreating capital ship. None of the other turrets seem to have been set off." One of the officers informed her.

"Hm very well, but I will be personally departing to the damaged ship to search for survivors." Winter briefed the group.

"Captain we have only one heat signature that resembles a person, coming from this command tower in front of the bow guns." He pointed to the general area he was talking about.

"Very well I thank you for informing me, contact general Ironwood immediately to let him know of the current events. I want one of you to also contact some tugs to move the incapacitated vessel. You are all dismissed."

"Sir yes, sir." They saluted.

Marching off to continue their monitoring of the area, for anymore enemy vessels. Something seemed off to Winter like who could have the manpower to produce these two monstrous vessels without Atlas even knowing of their existence until now.

Jumping down from her personal jet, Winter quickly noted how many weapons this vessel truly had. It was overkill plain and simple. Why would you need all of these guns surely with modern aiming systems you could cut a third if not more of these? Oh well it wasn't the priority right now. What was, was finding the survivor, which was apparently the only person operating this mighty vessel. Winter walked up the stairs to the conning tower. Then to her surprise the door to it was wide open. When she looked in she saw a woman who looked only a few years younger that she was, in a blue navy uniform that was unconscious on the floor.

She ran over and checked her pulse, thankfully the she still had one. She certainly had some money if she could afford a vessel of this size, and the fact that she was trying to protect the cargo ships meant she, probably isn't trying to attack convoys. All She needed was the why, why did some random woman spend who knows much money to have a warship that looked like it belonged in the pre great war period built. That didn't even factor in the much larger warship that sailed away that dwarfed this vessel.

'Whoever this is they're certainly going to get an hounded by the media that's for sure.' She said while picking up the woman.

Ozpin has had a very busy fourteen hours. He had been attacked by a very powerful young girl who somehow managed to keep up with him despite her lacking an aura and magic in fact he remembered it all perfectly. Her bright yellow eye that pierced through the darkness most of all. Ozpin also got a call from Qrow, who told him that his niece had run away from home in search of an adventure. He also just got a call from James (Ironwood) about thirty minutes ago, that the shipment of experimental equipment from Atlas had just been raided by a currently unknown third party. Suddenly his scroll started vibrating as it was being called. Ozpin checked the caller and to his surprise it was Winter Schnee.

'If she's contacting me now of all times that must mean something urgent has happened.' He thought to himself.

"Hello Winter, how may I be of assistance to you?" He asked hiding the worry in his voice.

"Ah yes Headmaster, I have both good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?" She inquired.

The fact that there was good news at all gave him some slight surprise and a small smile. But the smile was fleeting, he had learned that generally when there was both good and bad new the bad out weighed the good. Usually.

"Preferably I would wish to get the bad news out of the way." He answered

"Very well, the Paladin prototype has been completely destroyed, there is substantial evidence that points towards the White Fangs involvement and well..." She paused that was never a good sigh.

"We have spotted two new warships that were seemingly built out of thin air." She finished.

The first part wasn't all that much of a concern to Ozpin seeing as how he never really liked the Paladin program, which was one of many pet projects started by James. The second and third pieces seemed to fit together two well for Ozpins likings. However he knew there was more to the third one than what Winter alluded to.

"Could you please elaborate more about the two warships?" He needed to know more about these two mystery ships.

"From the one we are currently towing to Vale with us they seem almost entirely autonomous, and that they have some rather outdated weapons, or atleast the ones that aren't on fire or flooded. There was only one person on board the one we captured, however their currently in a coma, and have their entire lower spinal cord shattered into pieces, which means even if they do awaken from their coma..."

"They'll never be able to walk again." He concluded.

These ships don't add up to any know ships built in Remnant. Mainly the automation which seems to be about on par with Atlus if it only requires one person.

"Was the ship captured participating in the raid?" He wished to know.

"From what we could tell, probably not seeing as how the both ships were already in a gun duel before we arrived."

"Well then with all of the bad news out of the way what good news do you have?" He tiredly asked from all the stress the past fourteen hours had given him.

"We found Qrow's niece, Ruby Rose I presume her name is (seeing as how she's written it on her weapon) anyway we found her on board the cargo ship..."

How did Qrow's niece end up on a cargo ship after disappearing for fourteen hours something just wasn't adding up. Though at least she was safe and found.

"However she has some broken bones from what we can only assume can be from the Paladin."

"Is it anything serious." While miss Rose might not be a student at Beacon academy, she was still one of his best friends niece.

As such Ozpin worried for her safety just as much as any of his students at Beacon.

"From what our medical devices and doctors could tell nothing a few days of rest and aura couldn't fix."

Thank the Brothers for aura, without it hunters not only would be extremely fragile, but they also couldn't recover from life debilitating accidents.

"That's certainly good to hear."

"Though there is something the general wished for me to ask you, and it pertains to the "new" ship." Winter added.

"Oh, now why would he ask me about it, surely asking the mayor of Vale would be the first person I would ask. After all you are keeping it in his city, aren't you?" Ozpin inquired.

Something didn't sit right surely Vale harbor could hold a ship of any size so why ask him. Unless, unless James wants him to watch after the person from onboard the vessel. Which made some sense Beacon doesn't allow reporters and the like from entering the school grounds.

"Yes, but he wanted me to ask you first because he wants you to keep the woman from the ship in Beacon. He said your medical facilities would be far better suited for this particular person." So his guess had been correct.

"I'm sure I can accommodate room for one extra person, this is a school after all designed to house atleast ten thousand students."

"Well then with that taken care of I think I'll get ready to get in contact with the mayor, and sort out a deal to have the ship salveged and taken apart to find out what they used to make it."

"Very well then it's always nice to talk to you again Winter, even if the call wasn't out of leisure."

"I can't agree more had the circumstances been better we could've had a longer call, but the counsel wishes for me to file a report right away so for now Headmaster I must bid you farewell." She then proceeded to hangup.

'Hmm two new warships that seem to have come out of nowhere, this doesn't sound good at all. Potentially Salem could be behind both ships and may simply just be using one to lull me into a false sense of security.' He contemplated while gripping onto his cane.

"I guess I'd better tell Ruby's family the good news then." He tiredly said while pulling up Qrows contact on his scroll.

"Ugh." Was all Ruby could muster as she began to wake up.

"Where a-." She was then interupted by being pulled into her older sisters all too familiar hug.

"Ruby I'm so glad your okay, when uncle Qrow's old friend called us and told us you were found unconscious on a cargo ship in the middle of the ocean. It scared me and dad to death." Yang told her while squeezing Ruby tighter.

"Yang stop squeezing your sister so much, your just going to brake her what's left of her bones." Thier dad called from behind.

"Oh sorry right, Rubes didn't mean to choke you there." Yang quickly apologized.

'Well at least I know where I am, home.' Ruby warmly thought to herself.

"It's okay Yang it's nothing I couldn't handle." Ruby flinched as she tried to show her sister.

"While I'm glad to see that your okay sweetie..." Their dad began.

"What were you thinking?!" he shouted at her.

"Not only did you leave with your new weapon, which I clearly remember telling you not to use it unless I was with you. But you also end up on a cargo ship in the middle of the ocean. How did you even manage to get there?" Her overprotective father finally finish.

"Well um, you see dad while I was exploring Patch, I came across a small cave and inside of it was an Ursa Alpha, so then I tried running from it. But two normal ursa were blocking the entrance so I ran deeper into the cave, found more Grimm. Continued running until I found a small out cove and there was pedestal with a shining blue cube on it. Then the cube told me to pick itself up, and suddenly it turned into, wait how's Texas?" Ruby asked Yang and Tai.

Taiyang stood in disbelief at all the stuff his little daughter had gone through, an Ursa Alpha, a cave full of Grimm. Though who was this Texas person she mentioned, he knew Ruby had no friends at Signal. Let alone any outside the school.

"Ruby who's "Texas" and are they a boy?" Tai asked her.

"What no Texas is the woman who saved my life twice. First from the Grimm, then second from a giant robot the White Fang stole."

"You fought Who!" her dad and sister both shouted.

"Yeah I fought the White Fang because they were raiding some cargo ships with this gigantic battleship." Rudy expressed to them with hand movements.

"Wow sis never I never knew you also fought crime. I thought you were only chased by some Grimm." Yang joking responded.

"Wait how'd you reach the cargo ships, they were a couple thousand kilometers from Patch?" Her confused dad asked.

"Oh yeah, you did say something about that Texas person having a battleship." Yang recalled.

"Anyway" Ruby desperately tried to get back to telling them her really cool adventures.

"Texas spotted them while they were trying to steal from a ship so we attempted to call for help, but those dastardly smart evildoers had jammed of our radio. Texas then came up with a plan to contact the Atlas military's near by forces using a recorder and a plane. I meanwhile came up with a ingenious plan to board the cargo ship so we could better stop them in their tracks." Ruby dramatically described to her family.

"So what part of the plan had your ribs crushed by a robot?" Yang teased.

"Well to be perfectly honest I didn't think that far ahead, I just wanted to save the people onboard the cargo ship." Ruby hesitantly whispered.

"While I not happy you ignored me, I'm proud that tried to help people, it's what your mother would've done ." Tai reassured her.

"Thanks dad, and next time I'll try and wait until after you get back to try out Crescent Rose." she shyly told him.

"Congrats on finally naming her. Now you finally have a weapon that isn't that rifle with a scythe bayonet."

"Hey Summer Sunrise isn't bad at all."

"Yea, but she didn't scream you. If anything she screamed rushed job."

"She's not a rushed job. iIt took me months to design her Yang, months and I was only ten." Ruby exclaimed while holding up all of her fingers.

"I remember the first day you fired her, I thought I was gonna lose you." He grimly remembered.

"It wasn'-..." She was cut off when her sister suddenly hugged her again.

"Well yets stop talking about the past and focus on the present. Like if your gonna escape from this." She started applying more pressure to her hug."

"Yang stop I can feel my ribs breaking. Yang seriously stop." Ruby attempted to convince her sister, while turning a little blue in the face.

"No can do Rubes, not until you say uncle."

"Umm, Yang I don't think she can breath, let alone talk." Tai hesitantly told her

"Oh shoot Ruby sorry, what is it can I do for you?" her older sister dramatically apologized.

"Before I die I would like more cookies." Ruby weakly responded.

The Next Day

Ruby was happily chowing down some cookies her older sister had sent her when she head someone knock on the door.

"You can come in." She said with a mouth full of leftover cookies.

"I could've sworn that your dad would've taught you proper table manners?" A tall man sarcastically asked in a gruff voice.

Ruby swallowed her cookies upon seeing the person knocking on her bedroom door.

"Uncle Qrow it's you, I'm so excited to see you again."

She tried to get up to hug him, but she recoiled in pain from the movement. So she sat back down against her pillow.

"Whoa slow down there kid your still recovering from being crushed by a giant robot."

"Sorry uncle Qrow I'm just so excited to see you again."

"Well that's what you get for ignoring your dad's rules, though it easily could've been worse."

"Uncle Qrow what would you do if you felt like you let someone down, even if you knew there was nothing you could do to save them?" She sadly asked him.

"Oh boy you sure know how to ask the easy questions don't you. Well since your asking, I would probably go and have a drink."

"But uncle Qrow your always drinking."

"Yea and I never said I was a role model either, but there is someone who might be able to better answer your question." As her uncle was saying that, an old man with white hair, a cane in a black coat matching pants, and a green scarf walked into her room.

Instantly Ruby recognized him. He was The headmaster Ozpin from Beacon academy. The headmaster of the oldest and most respected huntsmen school in all of Remnant, as well as being one of the most respected hunters out there. Ruby had always dreamed of going to Beacon, and meeting him in person, and he was currently standing in front of her holding a plate of cookies.

Ozpin Pov

"Hello Miss Rose, I hope your willing to answer some questions about this "Texas" you were worried about." He asked in a calm, yet pofessional tone.

"Yyy-your." Ruby stuttered in disbelief at who was standing in her room.

Her reaction was just like all of his students when they first saw him. Utter shock and extreme joy all at the same time, he used to be a bit embarrassed at the reaction, but now he took it in stride.

"Headmaster Ozpin from Beacon academy yes." He still calmly answered.

"Wow." Was all she could say.

"Now onto the matter at hand." He moved the conversation while bribing her with cookies.

"Oh yea sorry, what is it that you'd like to ask me?" Ruby started inhaling the freash cookies.

"Well I think I'd like to start with where she came from."

"Oh that one's easy, I grabbed a blue cube that was on a pedestal in a cave I stumbled upon, while searching Patch. Before I grabbed it, it told me to grab onto it."

"The blue cube talked to you?" He asked curiously.

Had Ruby somehow found a new relic, how? There were only the four from the four maidens and they were all extremely far from Patch.

"Yup it telepathically talked to me. And after I grabbed it, the cube floated and started glowing extremely brightly. After that Texas materialized right in front of me, then I passed out from all of the running." She retold her story again for the fourth time to Ozpin.

"I see, but that still doesn't explain where the ship came from. You wouldn't happen to now that by any chance?" He coyly asked her.

"Oh that's a real easy one Texas is the ship."

Of course now it all makes sense, the damages on Texas's body match that of the ship's own damages almost perfectly. Broken lower spine, rear turrets completely destroyed the structural area's of the ship completely.

"Kid tell me your not trying to pull our legs here." Ozpin had completely forgotten that Qrow was even hear that when he heard his voice it briefly startled him.

"Wait you can accept that a blue cube on a pedestal can telepathically talk to me and summon a woman right in front of me. But that woman also being a battleship that dwarfs any of the ones built. Is what you find hard to believe?" She stared at them both in disbelief.

"Yah, pretty much." Qrow responded while downing a fresh flask of beer.

"While I'm don't doubt you Miss Rose, like your uncle clearly does..." Qrow faked being hurt by his comment.

"Both are very odd it's just that one sounds something akin to a genie, while the other is completly unheard of. Peaple summoning massive warships that are rather permanent after said person was rendered unconscious, that isn't something you hear of in your average fairy tale is it?"

"Well no, but that would be cool." She conceded.

Ozpin didn't disagree that it would indeed make fairy tales much more interesting, but he recalled what was going to happen to the ship. If it were salvaged that would surely kill her. Great now he had to convince the Vale counsel, why that warship that they just paid a sizable amount of money for should be saved.

"It was a pleasure to meet you Miss Rose, but now it appears that I have somethings I must attend to." he got up and started towards the door.

"Excuse me will Texas be okay, I know I barely know her, but she risked her life to save me twice, so I feel like I owe her." Ruby passionately vocalized to him.

"Don't worry Miss Rose, I'm certain your friend will be just fine." He completely lied to her.

He knew that this would cost him a lot figuratively, but also very literally. Not to mention his chances of convincing them were slim, but maybe he had a chance. What he needed to do was either have Texas claim the ship as her's which would require extensive repairs to the ships supports beams which were damaged from the explosion, plus the holes in the ship. Or he could somehow raise enough money to purchase the ship for whatever price the set for it. That would've worked only if Oobleck hadn't spent the majority of the schools yearly budget on an all expenses paid trip to all of Mistral's landmarks for the entire school in April, at least from what Ozpin heard the trip was fun. If he were still the naive young man he used to be, he'd belive that they would just hand the ship over, after all a life would perish if it were salvaged. Sadly he wasn't so naive anymore, because when money was involved even the best of people could do the worst of things, and now he had to convince three of the most corrupt politicians he'd ever known to part with a literal boat load of money.

"You want us to do what? Did I really hear you ask us to not scrap that ship, which let me remind everyone that it cost us 2.5 million lien!" Counsel member Church shouted.

He still wore his old huntsman helmet despite his position, just now he wore it with a blue business suit. Church was by far the youngest of the counsel members, but he made up for his lack of experience with his technical know how. Hell if he remembered correctly Church redesigned most of Vales technological infrastructure by himself.

'Well this meeting is certainly going better than I expected, they haven't yet thrown me out.' Ozpin optimistically thought.

"Yes, I did ask you to stop the salvage process, because it has recently come to my attention that the ship and the woman found onboard it might be linked so they require the other to survive for both of them to." He clearly stated.

"Hmm, and where pray tell did this information come from." Counsel member Lorie inquired.

She wore a scarlet red dress and was also the only one of them that, he knew would oppose him the least. Church was always fascinated with the latest technologies, meanwhile the chairman was most worried for Vale's safety as well as his own pocket book. Counsel member Lorie meanwhile was most worried about the ecosystem, and community of Vale, in fact she was the one that started Vale's popular solar powered blimp industry to save on the amount of dust used by the city, which in turn made the price of dust drop. Much to the annoyance of the Schnee Dust Company.

"It came from the only person that has actually interacted with the crew of the ship so far, Miss Rose."

"You trust that this "girl" is truly a credible source of information, after all I find it a little hard to believe that the pile of scrap metal we currently have sitting in a dry dock is worth saving only because some nobody told you that the woman and it "might" be linked?" Lorie laughed.

'I guess even I still read people wrong even after all of these years.'

"Well I even if we believed you it's not like we could do anything about it, after all we sold it to the ship contractors, who have to wait four months for the Atlas military to completely strip it of any and all weapons." Counselor Church clarified to Ozpin.

"What if I were to purchase the ship as property of the school of Beacon?" Ozpin asked.

"That could work it seemed as though he was open to us buying it again, but where would Beacon or you get the money from headmaster? Didn't you already spend a very sizable chunk of your budget on a vacation for almost the entirety of your school in April? Or did you really think we would loan you more money hmm" Counselor Lorie smugly pushed.

"No, but I'm sure I could've gotten it somehow, regardless of the cost." Ozpin shot back, and seeing as how this was going nowhere he needed something or Texas would die for nothing but a quick buck.

"Hold on..." The Chairman spoke hushing everyone else in the room.

He was a tall muscular faunas, who apparently used to be a body guard to the prince of Vale. He was also the oldest and most experienced one out of the three. As for his faunas trait well it was a muscular brown tail that the chairman commonly used as a belt.

"So your suggesting we save this ship because it and the woman that was found onboard would die, right?"

"Yes."

"Well then I've got a question for you Headmaster Ozpin, how are you going to repair the ship even if we magically stop the plans to salvage it today? Do you have the blueprints lying around or something to fix the extensive damage?"

Ozpin hadn't really thought of this, he had no real way of doing the repairs necessary to the ship with the major damage that it had sustained. If they were more minor he knew the ship most likely wouldn't be sent to the scrap yard.

"I'll take your lack of an answer as a no, but don't look so down you still have four months, to I don't know repair the ship, hell if you do fix it up I'll even buy it for Beacon Academy." The chairman joked to Ozpin.

"Very well I'll take you up on that offer chairman." Ozpin agreed trying to make the best out of a bad situation.

"Wait really?" Asked the stunned counsel members

"Yes" Ozpin simply replied.

"Very well Ozpin if you some how manage to completely repair the ship, and replace the two aft turrets, I'll buy it as property of Beacon." The chairman jokingly agreed.

"Well counsel members Chruch, Loire, and Nappa I believe this meeting is over so I hope the rest of your day is good." He then hung up the call.

"Well, that went well." Qrow sarcastically said.

"I agree that could've gone a lot better, but it's at least a start." Ozpins wonderful assistant as well as the combat instructor Miss Glinda Goodwitch agreed.

"I mean it's not like you just said you would somehow repair a ship we know nothing about, let alone how to rebuild it's turrets in only four months." Qrow added.

"Well it looks like I'll need to check up the dimensions of the turrets in order to get a good idea of how to replace the lost two. Not to mention fix the hole caused by the explosion. It looks like I'll have my hands full." He chuckled to himself.

"Yes, perhaps I could have Professor Peach go with you to try and find the dimensions of the main guns?" Glynda flatly suggested.

"Hmm, perhaps her expertise in the field of weapons craftsmen ship would be useful, very well let her know when I'll leave so we could examine the ship together rather than try and examine the large vessel individually." He confirmed her plan.

Observer Pov

'So with that "helpful" information known, I think I know what I should do.' Observer thought while getting out of her new disguise.

"And to think all I needed to do was swap places with some random woman to get it." She said while looking at the blindfolded and tied up Counsel member Lorie.

"Please let me go I promise I'll do anything you want just let me go, I'll even pay the ransom you offered to the police." The real counsel member pleaded.

"Oh don't worry I don't need anything else from you so you'll be set free, in fact I know the perfect way to set you free." At these words the counsel woman began shaking uncontrollably at the implication behind them.

As Observer was about to do something she felt the presence of another Siren walk in.

"Well if it isn't Purifier, what were you bored without me?"

"Observer, I need to tell you something that's pretty exciting, also who's that." She asked in her usually chearful voice,

"O her, she's just some counsel woman from the city of Vale that I kidnaped."

"Neat."

"Yea, so what did you wanna tell me?"

"Well how about I let you finish then tell you, after all you do seem preaty buisy."

With that she left and Lorie's heart plummeted to the bottom of her chest.

Some time later.

"Well what is it Purifier?"

"Oh right that thing, well I was spying on Cinder like I usually do and well take a look."

Cinder was nervous, she had been thinking the right way to tell her master about the events that had transpired for some time now, she just needed the right words. Then she heard the ominous noises of Salem's Seer Grimm.

'I see she wishes to speak now, word must've traveled to her fast.' Cinder worryingly thought.

However before her master's image appeared the Seer grabbed Cinder by the neck with it's black tendrils.

'She defiantly knows that's for sure.'

"So Cinder when were you going to inform me of your new companion, was it before you threw out subtly, or after you alerted all of Remnant to our presence?"

She could feel the tendrils loosen a small enough amount to allow her to speak.

"Mistress I was going to inform..." A tendril tightened.

"...I was going to inform you when she and Roman had returned from their mission. So you could see her with your own eye's. " She honestly told the Queen of darkness.

"How do I know that you wouldn't try to use it against me?" Salem questioned while her cold red souless eyes staired into Cinders.

"There is another group of things..." Cinder struggled to breath with how tight the tendril was wrapped around her.

"... Those Sirens if I remember correctly attempted to have me turn against you using the ship as leverage. They claimed that it could kill you so I took it with the intent that I could use it against them, and luckily they have no control over it, I can assure you my Mistress."

Salem's eyes narrowed at the news of another group apparently trying to take away her one of her "pets" from her. She showed no sign of worry though at the news of something being able to kill her in fact she seemed to smile at the news.

"Well that's good to hear that you didn't betray me..." The tendrils slowly started uncoiling from around Cinder's neck.

"...But if you do, remember there's nowhere you can hide from me." And with that Salem's Seer left.

"Well it seems as though Cinder isn't going to be like Bismark or Akagi and instead be loyal to her mistress. How unfortunate for her."

"Ya, now who do we convince to work for us. Or are we gonna just fight everyone now?" Purifier gleefully asked.

"Hm I don't know, also if we want to be efficient we need subterfuge."

"But it's sssooo boring, it's always purifier don't do this, purifier don't do that, until they start killing each other." She groaned.

"Well if you two don't mind my interference I think I know the perfect candidate, infact they're now a far better candidate then Cinder ever was."

"Oh really well, whom might this mystery person be Tester."

"Ruby Rose."

"Ha, ha hhhaaaa, really her, the I wanna be a hero no matter what, oh that's devilish of you Tester."

"Hm what am I missing here, Ruby isn't that strong, she isn't a political leader, and she's got barely any resources, plus she's only fourteen years old. How is she the perfect candidate."

"While that might all be true, I've done some reading in that book you guys got, and it mentions how silver eyed warriors have a unique ability to wipe out entire armies of cannon fodder, I mean Grimm. Plus, because Texas almost died thanks to her. She'll now probably feel obligated to save her especially once she finds out how doomed Texas really is."

"But why would she trust us we're the bad guys aren't we?"

"Sure, but look at what we've done for her so far, we made a mirror cave that gave her a friend, and because of my quick thinking I was able to prevent the explosion from sinking Texas. Not to mention this world doesn't know what the Sirens are capable of."

"No you didn't you, oh I get it we lie to her."

"Yup that means more half truths, spying and' your part favorite Purifier you have to deal with her while Tester takes over your job."

"But, but why do I have to I thought that was your job." Purifier whined.

"Well if you didn't complain you wouldn't have been assigned to Ruby duties, which includes but is not limited to. Training her to use her eyes, training her in general, making sure she gets plenty of food and water. Oh and making sure that she doesn't die in the process." Observer cheekily shot back.

"Ffffine, I'll go and do all that stuff, I just hope she won't be boring. Also I'm taking the book with me." Purifier begrudgingly left.

"Are you sure it was a good idea to put some of the most impatient people we know to train in something that requires the utmost amount of patience and training? I mean I can know how Purifier can get sometimes when she hasn't had a good fight in a while."

"As long as they don't kill each other then I fail to see the problem."

Ruby Pov

"Um Yang how long did dad say I have to stay in the attic bed again?" Ruby Inquired from her older sister.

"Why do you know somewhere you'd rather be than beside your older sister?" Yang asked pretending to be offended.

"Beside my older sister making fresh cookies."

"Ruby you just ate three dozen batches of cookies. How are you still hungry for them, heck where do they even go your face?" Yang then started pinching Ruby's cheeks.

"Well I'm still hungry for something, oh maybe you could warm up some of that leftover pizza for me. Could you please Yang?" She begged her sister.

"Sure thing sis just make sure you don't become a ball." Yang then went down stairs to warm up the pizza.

Ruby was grateful that her family was taking care of her. But all she could think of was how Ozpin going to fix Texas, she knew he would, after all he told her he would. He was like a superhero for superhero's with how all of the huntsman magazines portrayed him as, sure they would lie about stuff. Like saying how "easy" it was to take out a normal Ursa. All you have to do was aim for it's neck and it would go down like a Beowulf it claimed. Boy was she in for a rude awakening when she tried to take one out that wondered onto their property. She still remembered how helpless she felt when she tried to take it on with Summer Sunrise. If it weren't for her dad she knew she wouldn't have lasted long against it. Anyway she needs to think positive, her dad did say that positivity helps heal the body quicker, than negativity.

Then to Ruby's surprise a red portal opened in front of her bed, and out of it walked a girl with bright yellow eyes, who wore a Mistral school uniform top and what looked to be sweat pants.

"Wh, who, who are you, and what are you doing in our attic?" Ruby hesitantly asked.

"Oh me. well I'm Purifier and I wanna help you save your friend Texas."

'How does she know who Texas is?'

"Well do you, or do you want her to be scrapped?"

"Wait I thought professor Ozpin said he would save her."

"How can he do that in only four months hmm, there's only so much one person can do by himself surely you know that. Imagine how grateful Texas would feel if you saved her."

"But what can I do to save her? It's not like I can magically fix her using my semblance, or that I had enough money to buy the metal required to fix her."

"Oh but there is something you can do, if you follow me I'll show you what you can really do and make sure that what happened to Texas will never happen again to anybody else. And you may or may not get a new friend for Texas if you succeed." Though Ruby didn't hear the last part.

"Really, I can stop that? But how all I have is Crescent Rose, how could she stop things like that monster from hurting my friends?"

"Hmm how good are you with forging stuff?"

'Forging stuff what does that have to, wait will Crescent Rose be getting an upgrade' She ecstatically thought.

"You know your voice sounds kind of similar to the one I heard before grabbing that blue cube."

"Hehe, that would be my little "Sister"." Purifier somewhat lied.

"Anyway are you going to come with me and rescue your friend or are you going to sit in bed s'more."

'If I go then Yang, Dad, and Uncle Qrow will worry about me again, but if I stay then Texas will die. What would mom do in this situation.' Ruby worryingly thought.

"Wait can I write a note quick?"

"So long as you don't take your sweat time, I don't see why not."

Ruby quickly got out of bed (or at least as fast as she could move) and began writing a note for her family. She finished surprisingly fast, and then left it at the foot of the bed. She picked up Crescent Rose, her scroll, and her clothes which were on the table next to the bed. She put them all in her backpack, which she slipped on easily.

"Whelp I'm ready to go." Ruby cheerfully jumped a little.

"Then away we go." Purifier shouted while opening a portal.

'I hope I'm making the right decision here.' she worried while walking through the ominous portal.

"Ruby who was that." Yang rushed up the stairs with Ember Celica on.

All Yang found though was an empty bed and a note on the table. She stared at the scene in disbelief at the fact that her sister had left again in one day of her being back. Yang stumbled towards the note and carefully picked it up. It read...

"Dear Yang, I'm going to do something because it's the right thing, and I don't know what else to do. I'm sorry I impatiently left without letting you know, but I promise that I will be back really soon with hopefully another friend, that isn't unconscious, and set to die in four months. Your favorite little sister sincerely Ruby Rose. (P.S. Sorry for making you warm up that pizza I hope you enjoy it, also I brought my scroll with me so you guys can call me.)"

"Damn it Ruby why didn't you wait at least another day." Yang depressingly cried.

There is chapter 6 I hope everyone enjoys it.

Review answer time I guess.

Zenko13: I hope Ruby gets Bismarck

Answer: I probably wont give Ruby Bismarck (though Tirpitz would be interesting), if anything someone else would find her. If I include her at all.

MageTGM: Imagine what'll happen when they actually do get Enterprise. Also, why not include Johnston, the first US Ship that spotted Yamato?

Answer: Enterprise isn't going to be in the story, her biggest fanboy maybe but not Enterprise as a summon or permanent character. As for Johnston, I didn't originally want more than 3 OC ships, but now I think I'll have more OC ships and Johnston will be one of them, just not the next one.

alienrei: I think you forgot something, Yamato is a Sakura empire battleship and every single of their ships have animal traits so... Yamato have one too. (please make her a fox girl like our lovely yandere Akagi). Well, that if you want to maintain the theme of the faction. Anyway, good work so far, it's interesting to see that you worked with one of the plot holes of the show, that's where they got the paladins prototypes.

Answer: I used Azuma and Izumo as the main reference for what she would look like besides her clothes. Izumo has a sword so I thought so should Yamato after all, Izumo is a preliminary design, but Yamato isn't like her sister Musashi so her swordsmanship is so-so, and I decided her hair and eyes would be like the mini Yammy Azuma, what does this have to do with her being a fox or not. Izumo has horns, while Azuma has no odd human traits, Izumo is a preliminary while Azuma is based off of the finished product. As for the plot hole, I didn't even realize it was one.

(P.S. this is my first fan fiction so any and all criticism is welcomed)
