"GWAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Ryan screamed, waking up from his horrible nightmare. He looked around his team's room, to see them still sleeping. Ryan grabbed his phone, and looked at the time on the screen that said: 7:50 A.M. a little close to sunrise. "Holy Shit, what in the actual fuckin' Depths of Hell was that dream!?" Ryan shouted quietly to himself.
As he pondered the thought of his dream, he took a look at Ruby's bunk, to see his team leader still sleeping. Ryan thought about the times that he and his Team RWBY had so many crazy adventures together, weather it be taking on hoards of Demonic being, to exploring uncharted lands. And on many of those adventures, he has heard of the power of Ruby's Silver eyes.
"Maybe... Maybe she does need to know about her eyes?" Ryan thought, "But... If I do... I'll be tampering with this world's future. But... Then again... If I do... It could help prevent devastating events?"
Ryan looked at Ruby again, and this time, He knew what he had to do. "GOD SCREW IT!" Ryan whispered, as he put his cell phone back, got up from his sleeping bag, and put on a Grey shirt with a Navy Blue Captain America Shield on it, a pair of Sky Blue jeans, a snakeskin belt to hold them up, his signature Red Leather Jacket, black REEF brand Flip Flops, tied on The Number One Headband on his forehead, and walked on over to Ruby's Bunk.
As he did, he generated a small candlelight floating above his left hand palm, showing a little light by Ruby's bed, "Ruby?" Ryan whispered, shaking his fearless leader's body, trying to wake her up, "Ruby... Ruby wake up!" Ryan continued to shake Ruby's body to try and wake her up, "C'Mon Ruby, Please wake up!"
"hhnnn...Wha, what's going on?" Ruby moaned, waking up from her sleep, as she removed her sleeping mask from her eyes, and looked at her new mentor, "Ryan? Is something wrong?" She asked.
"Get dressed, leave behind Crescent Rose, and meet me at the Balcony," Ryan replied to her quietly, "I need to tell you something that's gonna surprise you."
"What!? What is it?' Ruby asked.
"No time for questions, C'Mon." Ryan replied, as he walked out of his team's room, and headed for the balcony.
. . .
A couple of minutes later, Ruby was dressed in her huntress attire, and met Ryan on the balcony, seeing him look into the distance of the Emerald Forest. "Hey, Ryan," Ruby began, feeling concerned for her mentor, "are you okay?"
Ryan turned around to look at her in the eye. "Yeah... I'm fine," Ryan replied, pulling out a bottle of water from his jacket, "But... there's something I need to teach you."
"Teach me... What is it?" Ruby wondered.
Ryan grabbed Ruby's shoulders, and looked her in the eye, "Ruby... What I'm about to tell you might sound crazy to you," he told her, "But... It's about your eyes."
"Ummm... What?" Ruby asked in confusion.
"Look, your Silver eyes are a special trait," Ryan began to explain, opening his water bottle, "And here's why: When you think about your family, friends, loved ones, etc., and focus on the thought of them, and the way you make them feel, your eyes can create a massive flash of white light that can harm the maidens, like in the fairy tales you hear about, and can turn grimm into dust, or freeze them by turning them into stone."
"Wait... Soooo... My eyes can do that?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah, they can," Ryan replied, taking a swig of his water, "You first experienced this feeling at The Fall of Beacon after-"
"WAIT, WHAT!?" Ruby exclaimed, "What do you mean 'The Fall of Beacon?', What happened to Beacon Academy!?"
Ryan looked at her for a moment , and realized what he just said, "Aww Shit." he said, as he took another swig of his water, leaning back against the Balcony Railing, "Alright... Here's what I mean... In both of our worlds, a group calling themselves The Black Queen Club, took down Both Beacon Academy... and The Vytal Festival Tournament. This event... already happened in my world, and... I prevented it... Multiple times, in fact... But... It will happen, here... In the future."
"Why didn't you tell us!" Ruby replied, shocked at what she had to hear, "You could've told Ozpin that when you first got here,or any of the professionals about this event. Heck, you could've come to us about this event, We're your friends, Ryan!"
Ryan looked down at the floor, feeling terrible about not telling Ruby, or his friends in the first place, as he sat down on the balcony, back first to the railing, chugging the rest of his water down to the very last drop, and wiping away some water on his mouth.
"But..." Ruby began, as Ryan looked up at her, seeing her with a smile on her face, "If you can teach me how my silver eyes create that flash, we can get everyone together on how we can prevent The Fall of Beacon."
Ryan took a moment to think about it, as he crushed his water bottle with his left hand, and slowly got up from his spot, "Alright, Ruby," Ryan replied with a smile, "Let's get to work."
"That's the spirit!" Ruby cheered, "So... How do my eyes create that flash?"
"Okay... Here's how," Ryan began, "From my knowledge of the Silver Eyed Warriors, firs you need to close your eyes, but not too tight, that's gonna be the next part on how you can create that flash."
"Alright," Ruby replied, as she closed her eyes as tight as possible, "Okay, now what?"
"Next, breath slowly and calmly, calm breathing and staying calm is a great way to increase concentration" Ryan continued, "while at the same time, focus on the relationship you have with your loved ones, and how your gonna protect them." Ryan walked around Ruby, making sure that he wasn't in the Silver eye's path of light, "Remember this: Life... is beautiful and precious. And it must... be protected." Ryan stood behind Ruby, and placed his hands on her shoulder, "And when all of those thoughts have come into your head... Take one last deep breath, and then... OPEN YOUR EYES!"
And when Ruby opened her eyes, a huge flash of white light bursted right out of her eyes, lighting up brighter than the sun, it can be seen from miles.
(At The Same time, In Vale)
In the city of Vale, Ruby's eye flash caught the attention of two men on the rooftops of an old building. One of the men was wearing a simple black and yellow T-shirt, paired with black cargo pants that has a white Union Jack design on its right leg, this time spanning the entire leg. He's wearing a simple brown/orange sling bag with a strange Raccoon sign where a strange melee weapon (the Amp) is being kept on a strap attached to his bag. He also has multiple tattoos on his arms. He also has a scar on the right side of his face, and is wearing sports shoes ('tabi boots') specifically for parkour.
The other man was a little bit on the chubby side. He has his hair swept backwards, and wears sunglasses with a black frame. He wore a very interesting bowling shirt, a shoulder holster with a golden revolver, and a white undershirt with a flaming pair of dice as its design paired with a black meshed shirt on top of it. He wore considerably lengthier shorts than a normal person, and sneakers. He also had several bandages all over his body, and a tattoo of a woman wearing only her underwear on his right forearm. He also has a small scar on his left cheek.
"Zeke," said the man with the bag, "What the hell was that?"
"Beats Me, Cole?" replied the chubby man "Should ya check it out?"
"Maybe?" The man with the bag said, "I'm getting the feeling that we weren't the only ones sent here?"
(Back at Beacon)
Ryan was jumping for joy when he saw Ruby use her Silver Eyes' Powers. As Ruby closed her eyes, it also stopped the flash from her eyes to die down. "Whoa!" Ruby said, amazed by the awesome feat she did, "That was SO COOL! I HAD NO IDEA I COULD DO THAT!" as she, too, jumped for joy, and celebrated with Ryan.
"AHH-HA-HA-HA! I Knew You Could Do It." Ryan replied, ecstatically, "AND ON YOUR FIRST TRY, TOO!" Ruby and Ryan celebrated for as long as they could, as the sun began to rise up. Once it did, Ryan and Ruby looked at the amazing sight, only to be interrupted by-
"A little early for training, Mr. Connell?" Ruby and Ryan looked at the entrance way to see Weiss, Blake, Yang, Team JNPR, Team CFVY, Miss Goodwitch, and Professor Ozpin, all staring at them.
"Is there something we missed, Redhead?" Yang asked.
"RED!" Ryan shouted with annoyance, "WHO YOU CALLING A TOMATO HEAD! My Hair is Strawberry Blonde, Thank you very much!" Ryan paused for a moment to hear what he had to say to Yang. "S-Sorry... I... get sensitive when people mistake my hair color."
"Noted." Blake replied.
"But, seriously... Why were you two out here? It's eight in the morning!" Weiss informed.
"Well..." Ryan began, "I do have a reason to be out here," as he walked over to Professor Ozpin, "Oz... I need to tell everyone something... In your office."
"Very Well," Ozpin replied, sipping on his coffee, "Everyone... In my office, Please." As everyone followed Ozpin to his office, to hear what Ryan had to say.
(At the same time, Below Beacon)
We see bellow Beacon Academy, to find a vast and dimly lit Vault, lighted by wall-mounted torches that cast a pale green light. At one end of the corridor, there was an elevator leading up to the surface, and at the end of the corridor, there was a strange machine. The corridor appears to intersect perpendicularly with another, but the other branches have not been shown.
The torches of the corridor began to dance with wind currents, as a huge black smoke cloud appeared right in the middle, with four shadowy figures. Two of which were women, one of them a male, and the other wearing ninja attire which consists of a black mask, a black armored hooded vest, a Black turtleneck, Black gloves, Black armored pants, a grey belt, White bracers, silver shoulder pads, silver knee pads, spiked sole combat boots, and he had a bladed Egyptian Sickle pierced through his chest.
"We're here..." The man in black said in a raspy voice, as the four walked over to the machine, which revealed to be a life support device. As they got closer, they could see a woman inside the machine. The woman had a light brown complexion, with shoulder-length, straight brown hair. She had a beauty mark below her left eye. As she was seen in the machine, she was wearing a white tube top and a white skirt.
"So... this is the fall maiden?" one of the women said, "I thought they were just fairy tails, but... their true."
"Believe it, Em." the other man said, "This is real. And Remind me: Why are we here again?"
"For power!" The other woman said, as she stepped out into the light revealing herself to be a fair-skinned woman with ashen-black hair that covers her left eye. She has bright amber eyes and is described to be very young. She wears lipstick and violet eye-shadow. She wears a dark red, off-the-shoulders v-neck mini dress with yellow designs. There is a blue feather-like accessory on her right hip at the top of an open portion of her dress. The dress ends in an upside-down triangular tail in the back, ending just above the knees. There is a quarter-circle shaped keyhole on the dress' upper back at the same height as her chest. The sleeves end in a triangle shape, which are wrapped or tied around her middle finger, with the gold designs of the sleeve taking over at the wrists. Her fingernails are painted dark red. She wears black shorts underneath her dress, as well as a black choker on her neck. She has a gold loop earring with a black gem dangling from it on her right ear. She has dark, glass, high-heeled shoes and a jeweled anklet on her right leg. On her upper back, in the keyhole of her dress, she has a black tattoo of what appears to be a pair of high heel shoes placed sole to sole, forming a heart shape inside. Whenever she uses the Dust that is sewn into her dress, the designs on the arms, back and chest glow bright orange. Her eyes and earrings also glow. It is possible that her appearance is influenced by East Asian culture, as the designs on her dress are styled similarly to traditional Japanese or Chinese patterns.
"The Fall Maiden you see before you, Amber, has all the power I need, to take over all of Remnant, and what I need to kill Pyrrha Nikos."
"Then let us begin." The man in black said, as he helped the ashen-Black haired woman into another pod, and closed it shut. "EMERALD, MERCURY!"
"Yeah, Yeah. We're on it." said the other man, as both he and the other girl came out of the shadows, revealing themselves. The girl was a young woman with medium-brown skin and dark-red eyes. Her hair is a light, mint-green with a straight fringe and bangs as well as two long locks on each side in the back. She wears two bronze-colored rings on her middle fingers as well as a pair of strappy high-heeled pumps. She is stated to be in the age range of a Huntsman Academy student. Her attire consisted of an intricate white top and an olive-colored thinned crop top, on the back of which is her personal emblem. This emblem is in the shape of a cut gem, most likely referring to her name. This was intended to be accompanied by white shorts, decorated with what appears to be a gold coin-plated belt with four gold chains draping around her back from two of the coins and what seems to be a green loincloth. She also wore a gold, three-ring armband on her left arm and a string of gold beads near the same wrist.
As for the other man, he is shown to be a pale, young man with gray eyes and gray hair, partially slicked back while unkempt at the front. He has prosthetic legs that attach part-way up his thighs. These legs are usually hidden from view due to him wearing pants and a pair of shoes. He possesses an athletic yet slim physique measuring 178cm tall (5'10"). He wears a slate gray and black two-tone partial-zip jacket that covers his upper body. He also wears a single notched belt with what appears to be a sash or bandana draped over it. Protecting his arms are a set of rerebraces and vambraces.
The green haired girl and the gray haired man walked over to a control panel, activating it, and thus, the Life Support machine, which began to glow in resulting of the machine's power.
Amber began to scream from inside the machine, as her aura began to glow, and began to course through into the ashed-black haired woman's pod.
"Full Power!" The man in black said, as the green haired girl and the gray hired man brought the machine to full power, resulting in Amber being drained of all of her power, and having it all in the ashed-black haired woman's pod.
After that was done, the girl and the man turned off the machine, and walked over to the ashed-haired woman's pod, and opened it, to see her still conscious, as she stepped out of her pod.
"How do you feel, Cinder?" The gray haired man said.
The ashed-haired woman looked at her hands, and gripped them tight, "Powerful." she replied. as the man in black, the green haired girl, and the gray hired man got down on one knee, and bowed their heads.
"Then we are at your service, Cinder Fall... The Fall Maiden." The man in black said.
