Basically, the plot goes like this: 19 year old Ruby Rose is a human Huntress living on the planet, Remnant, exterminating the monsters known as the Creatures of Grimm. Until one day, she comes into contact with a ruby gemstone in the shape of a jaguar that fuses with her, granting her the strength, cunning, and reflexes of a jaguar, all while increasing her magnetism for the guys. She, as well as her friends and family are teleported to Planet Earth, in the 31st Century, where they encounter Kai Stewart, the 31st Century's own Spider-Man, and Ruby helps him in fighting against Ivan Kravinoff, the 31st Century's Kraven The Hunter.

"It's a normal day in the Kingdom of Remnant." said Ruby, as she was exploring the Forever Fall, a forest in Remnant, having her high-calibur sniper scythe, Crescent Rose on her person. She then noticed a group of spider-like Grimm, and got Crescent Rose out, ready for action.

Chapter One: Enter the Ruby Jaguar!

Ruby's POV

"My name's Ruby. Ruby Rose. If you can tell by the sniper rifle that can change into a freakin' scythe, I'm a Huntress. This is my home, the Kingdom of Remnant. Note the broken moon in the skies at nighttime. I live with my dad, Taiyang, my older sister, Yang, and our dog, Zwei. My biological mom died when I was five and Yang was eight, and Yang's mom walked out on her and our dad when Yang was a baby, so she's my half-sister. I attend Beacon Academy with my sis, and our friends, Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, Blake Belladonna, a cat-based Faunus who's an ex-member of the White Fang, and our friends, Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos, and Lie-Ren."

Ruby later slashed one of the spider-like Grimm in half with Crescent Rose, before turning Crescent Rose into it's sniper-rifle configuration, and shot through it.

"What kind of Grimm where those?" said a voice belonging to Jaune Arc, one of Ruby's friends. Jaune had blonde hair and blue eyes, and wore armor over a hoodie. Jaune was a wishy-washy boy who wanted to follow in his family's expectations. With him were his teammates, Nora Valkyrie, Lie-Ren, and Pyrrha Nikos.

"My guess would have to be: Arachne." said Pyrrha, looking through her novels about the Creatures of Grimm. "A very rare species of the Creatures of Grimm."

"That's pretty cool." said Ruby, with a small smile on her face, facing one of her friends.

Meanwhile, a man in a suit and a bowler hat was watching from afar. He had red hair and green eyes. This was the wanted criminal, Roman Torchwick.

"Oh, Little Red." said Roman with a chuckle, watching from within the shadows "You have no idea of what's coming your way."

With that, Roman took off, with his cane weapon, Melodic Cudgel on his person, smoking a Cuban cigar.

Later, Ruby was busy exploring a cavern, until she notices a bright red glow coming from within the caverns.

"Hello there, what's this?" said Ruby, with a curious look on her face. Ruby then looked to see a red-colored ruby gemstone in the shape of a jaguar's head. But as soon as she touched it, it dissolved into light particles, and absorbed itself into Ruby's body, and with that...the silver-eyed girl blacked out

The next thing she knew, she was being looked over a a girl with long blonde hair and lilac eyes, as well as a yellow-and-black colored cybernetic hand and forearm. This was Ruby's older half-sister, Yang Xiao Long.

"RUBY!" said Yang, hugging her sister "Ohhh, thank goodness, you're okay!"

"I'm alright, Yang." said Ruby "What happened? All I remember was that I touched a ruby gemstone in the shape of a jaguar's head, it absorbed myself into my body, and I blacked out."

Taiyang held up something to Ruby, scanning her, and his eyes widened at the results.

"Huh." said Taiyang "Looks like whatever gem that bonded to you boosted your strength, reflexes, and other attributes to that of a jaguar."

"Also, sis...I think your boobs might've gone up a couple cup-sizes." said Yang as she wrapped a ruler around Ruby's chest "Looks like you're a triple-D cup, and I think it's because that gemstone that fused with you made you go through a little growth-spurt."

"Oh, golly! Looks like I gotta go clothes-shopping at some point. Ehehehehehe..." said Ruby, with a nervous grin on her face.

"Ruby, Ozpin wants you and your friends to go to another world, and help out those in danger from any future threats." said Taiyang

"So, there's more than one world in danger from the Creatures of Grimm?" said Ruby.

"There's other versions of our world, like one with a normal moon, one where Huntsmen and Huntresses could manipulate elements, one where Huntsmen and Huntresses had more than one Semblance, and more." said Ozpin

"Wait, WHAT!?" said Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren, with flabbergasted expressions on their faces

"MORE THAN ONE SEMBLANCE!?" said Pyrrha, shocked to hear that there was a version of Remnant that showed Huntsman and Huntresses with more than one Semblance

"I CALL HACKS!" Nora exclaimed

"I'll go with you guys." said a voice belonging to Qrow Branwen, as he walked up to the young Huntsmen and Huntresses.

"Uncle Qrow, are you sure?" said Ruby, surprised to hear that her surrogate uncle was coming with them to another world.

"A hundred percent, kiddo." said Qrow with a small smile, as a blue portal appeared.

"We're coming with you guys too." said a voice as Sun Wukong, a blonde monkey-based Faunus, and leader of Team SSSN, and his friend, Neptune Vasalias arrived. Sun and Neptune were students of Haven Academy.

"What will the headmaster of Haven say, though?" said Glynda, showing a little concern towards Neptune and Sun.

"We'll risk being chewed out by Lionheart at some point." said Neptune, with a confident smile on his face, as he mentioned the headmaster of Haven Academy, Leonardo Lionheart, who was a lion-based Faunus.

"Well, the best of luck to you all." said Glynda, as Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, Ren, Sun, Neptune and Qrow all walked through the portal.

Location: Planet Earth

Neo New York City, Neo New York

Date: October 2, 3000

It cuts to an armored figure that looked like Ends Of The Earth Spider-Man, with a helmet similar to Kamen Rider Ichigou, and his costume was colored and patterned like the Advanced Costume from the Insomniac-original Spider-Man game. This was Kai Stewart, a US-Born Japanese-American who was the Spider-Man of the 31st century, and he was busy web-swinging through the city.

'Man, it's been a while since I ran into any superpowered bad guys, and I even have my own team of Web-Warriors. Heck, even my brother, Kenji is Iron Spider!' thought Kai/Spidey 3000 as he swung around Neo NYC, until he was joined by another Kamen Rider styled Web-Warrior. His costume was a hybridization between Ends Of The Earth Spider-Man and Kamen Rider Killbas, and his costume was colored like the T.R.A.C.K Suit with cyan lenses on the mask, he also had something similar to a Blue Beetle Scarab bonded to his upper back. This was Kyler Fukunaga, Kai's childhood friend, and another US-Born Japanese-American who got his powers from being exposed to genetically modified spider DNA. He was the 31st century's own Kid Arachnid. He was also on the Autism Spectrum.

"Hey, Kai." said Kid Arachnid 3000, sounding like Kimihito Kurusu from Monster Musume "How's things goin' on at home?"

"Good." said Spidey 3000, sounding like Kai Chen, the Lost Galaxy Blue Ranger. "Kenji is still training to master the Iron Spider Armor's combat functions. How are you doing?"

"I'm doing OK, Kai." said Kyler "My brother got promoted in the ranks of the police, and my big sis is making a name for herself in the E-Sports world. Especially in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, where she's playing as Lucina, her favorite character in Fire Emblem."

"Cool." said Spidey-3000, as he felt his Spider-Sense kick in
"You sense that?" said Kai/Spidey-3000, as he noticed a figure drop from the sky, landing perfectly on his feet. It looked like a humanoid Ethiopian Lion, similar to Heinkel in Chimera Form from Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, but the mane was a dark brown. His chest-fur and the tuft of his tail were deep brown too. He also wore a lion-skin vest, jeans, and fingerless gloves. This was Ivan Kravinoff, AKA Kraven the Hunter

"I recognize that getup. Kravinoff, is that YOU!?" said Spidey-3000 in shock

"You can call me 'Kraven' now." said Kraven-3000, sounding like Ira Gamagoori, with a Russian accented voice

"What the actual Hell happened to you?" said Kid Arachnid 3000, shocked to see a member of his and Spidey-3000's rogues gallery looking like a were-lion.

"Same as what happened to you." said Kraven-3000 "Only key difference is that I paid for higher-class animal DNA."

"Wait a minute, you paid Alchemax to do this to you!?" said Kid Arachnid 3000

"But of course." said Kraven 3000 "Now, I can climb and leap like a leopard, I can run as fast as a cheetah, and I possess the strength of an ALMIGHTY LION!"

'This is more than enough reason for Alchemax to be taken down for good, and for Osborn and his scientists to get locked up forever.' thought Spidey-3000, as he and Kid Arachnid 3000 got into their fighting stances. Spidey-3000 roundhouse kicked Kraven 3000 in the side, but Kraven 3000 managed to block the blow, until Kid Arachnid 3000's fist charged up with bio-electricity

"PAWS OFF OF MY FRIEND!" said Kid Arachnid 3000, clocking Kraven 3000 in the jaw. However, Kraven 3000 gripped his wrist, preventing the blow from connecting.

"As they say in your country, 'Close, but no cigar'." said Kraven 3000, smirking

"Aw, crumbs." Kid Arachnid 3000 gulped with a nervous expression under his mask. Suddenly, they heard a gunshot, and looked to see Ruby holding Crescent Rose in it's sniper rifle configuration.

"Need a hand?" said Ruby, offering to help Spidey-3000 and Kid Arachnid 3000 in fighting and defeating Kraven 3000.

"Whoa there, kid." said Spidey-3000, looking at Ruby "This is a major-league supervillain. You could get seriously hurt!"

"I've fought against monsters and other villains in my homeworld, so I can deal with this glorified alley-cat on steroids!" said Ruby with a confident smile as she advanced at Kraven-3000, with Yang beside her, cracking the knuckles in her normal hand with her mechanical hand. With that, Kraven began swiping at Ruby with his claws, snarling.

"WHY! WON'T! YOU! STAND! STILL!?" said Kraven 3000, getting agitated by Ruby evading his every attack. Ruby then did a side kick to Kraven's solar plexus, hard. This knocked the wind out of Kraven 3000's lungs.

"So, the little silver-eyed girl has some strength to her." said Kraven-3000 "But it won't BE ENOU-!"

"CROTCH!" said Yang as she did the splits and uppercuts Kraven-3000 in his 'family jewels', prompting his eyes to go wide

"BOZHE MOY!" Kraven-3000 yelped in Russian, clutching his 'damaged goods' with watering eyes. He staggered back, and the next thing anyone knew, Kid Arachnid 3000 threw another bio-electricity charged right hook to his face, knocking him out cold.

"We'll take it from here." said a voice as Kyler's older brother, Jacob Fukunaga, a policeman for Neo NYC's police district arrived with his friends.

"Jeez Louise, isn't that Kravinoff!?" said a policewoman "What in the heck happened to him?"

"He paid Alchemax to do this to him." said Spidey-3000, with a dead serious tone of voice

"Another reason why Alchemax needs to go down for good." said Jacob, "You and your new friends did a good job, Spidey and Kid Arachnid. We'll get this guy locked up."

"Thanks, officers." said Spidey-3000 as he and Kid Arachnid 3000 web swung off.

"Follow them?" said Ruby, looking at Yang

"Eeeyep." said Yang, as she and the others followed the two spider-powered heroes. Later, Kai and Kyler changed out of their costumes, and were conversing with their families, like Kyler's cousin, Anthony Lopez, AKA Scarlet Spider, who got his powers when Kai saved his life with a blood-transfusion.

"So, a girl with silver eyes and a blonde with a robot arm helped you guys stopped Kravinoff, who's become like a ten-foot-tall were-lion and is calling himself Kraven?" said Anthony.

"Yeah, it's true guys." said Kyler, with a serious expression on his face. Kyler and Kai's families knew about Kai being Spider-Man and Kyler being Kid Arachnid, and supported their superhero lives.

"More than enough reason for Alchemax to be shut down for good." said Kai's father, Kenichi, with a serious expression on his face.

"Excuse us." said a voice, as Ruby arrived with Yang, Blake, Weiss, Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, Ren, Sun and Neptune. "I hope we aren't interrupting anything."

"Uhhhh, not at all!" said Kai's mother, Janice Li-Stewart, with a nervous smile on her face.

"Well, my little sister here came into contact with a ruby gemstone in the shape of a jaguar's head, and it fused with her, boosting her physicality and making her go through a growth-spurt." said Yang "Care to help explain?"

"Maybe me and an ally of mine could shine some light on the situation." said Kai, as he escorted Ruby to his laboratory. In it was a tall, muscular woman wearing a harness that had six cybernetic claw-tipped tentacles on it. This was Sally Willkins, the Lady Octopus of the 31st Century. She became like this when a harness she invented got fused to her flesh and bone in a freak accident. Originally, she was a supervillain, but later switched to the side of good.

"Hello, Kai." said Sally, sounding like Jill Valentine "I see you brought a newcomer here."

"My name's Ruby Rose." said Ruby "I'm a Huntress from the Kingdom Of Remnant. The silver-haired girl is Weiss Schnee, former heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, the black-haired girl with cat ears is Blake Belladonna, an ex-member of the terrorist group known as the White Fang, the blonde with the robot arm is my older half-sister, Yang Xiao-Long, the blonde in armor is Jaune Arc, the redhead with aqua eyes is Nora Valkyrie, the redhead with green eyes in gold armor is Pyrrha Nikos, the guy in Asian-style clothing is Lie-Ren, the blue haired boy is Neptune Vasalias, and the blonde with the monkey's tail is Sun Wukong."

"Hello, everyone." said Sally, with a smile on her face. "OK, Ruby. We're just gonna examine you for a bit, and it'll be completely painless. Just stay still for a few seconds."

With that, Sally/Lady Octopus had Ruby set on a rather futuristic M.R.I scanner that scanned her in a deep blue light. And Sally was busy taking notes, when the scans were complete, Sally read the results, and her eyes went wide.

"Well, Ms. Rose, it looks like that jaguar-shaped ruby gemstone you came into contact with is known as the Jagrubik Gemstone, and it bestows upon whoever it fuses with the physical attributes of a jaguar." said Sally

"Way past cool!" said Ruby, with stars in her eyes.

"Ever thought about becoming a superhero, Ruby?" said Anthony's fiancee, Amanda Davidson, who was a skilled thief known as Black Cat.

"Heck yeah!" said Ruby, with a confident smile on her face.

"Let's get you a costume set up." said Kai.

"Allow me and my sister to help you with the costume." said a voice similar to Goliath from Gargoyles, with an African accented voice, as a costumed figure arrived, and his mask vanished. He looked like Kaldur'ahm/Aqualad from Young Justice, but with black hair and deep green eyes. This was Kazriki T'Kondaku, the King of Neo Wakanda and the 31st century's own Black Panther.

"Hello, Your Majesty." said Sally, as she and the others knelt before Kazriki, with Ruby and her friends following suit.

Later, the gang were in a laboratory being ran by Kazriki's younger twin sister, Sunika, Kazriki's version of the Panther Habit looked like the Black Panther 3099 costume crossed with the MVC Infinite Panther Habit, with the gold parts being recolored silver. Sunika looked like a normal African teenager, with black hair done in cornrows, and pewter eyes.

"I think I can come up with a costume for Ms. Rose here." said Sunika, sounding like Kiara from The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride

"My own superhero costume's gonna be like your brother's?" said Ruby

"Ever thought about coming up with your own superhero name?" said Kyler

"Hmmm...how does 'The Ruby Jaguar' sound?" said Yang, bringing up an idea for Ruby's superhero name.

"I like it." said Ruby, smiling a little "It has a nice ring to it."

"And, here is our finished product for Ruby here." said Sunika, gesturing to a costume that looked like a hybridization for the Square-Enix Panther Habit crossed with the MVC Infinite Panther Habit. It was crimson red in color, and was patterned like a jaguar.

"Oooohhhh..." said Ruby, amazed at her own superhero costume

"I give you, the Ruby Jaguar Habit." said Sunika "It's a Vibranium-Nanomachine weave that is completely damage-proof. It's capable to absorb kinetic energy from impacts."

"Amazing..." said Ruby, taken by surprise

"The gloves have curved Vibranium claws on the fingertips that can tear through pretty much anything, too." said Sunika.

"I'm gonna try out this 'absorbing kinetic energy from impacts' feature it's got." said Yang, as she roundhouse kicked the side of the suit. As the kick connected, the nanomachines in the suit started to glow a deep red color.

"Dang, sis." said Ruby "I take it you've been training?"

"Yeah, I've been watching MMA and WWE." said Yang with a smirk, but as soon as she did another kick, a kinetic energy shockwave sent her flying

"AAAAHHHH! MY FREAKING GODDAMN RIBS!" Yang hollered, feeling some of her ribs crack, as she got to her feet, wincing.

"Jeez Louise..." Blake muttered as she saw the blonde get to her feet.

"I will teach Ruby the basics of hand-to-hand combat, so she doesn't have to always rely on her weapon, Crescent Rose." said a voice belonging to Andros Rogers, a super-soldier who was the 31st century's own Captain America

"I promise to surpass all your expectations, you guys!" said Ruby with a smile on her face.

Meanwhile, at the Alchemax base, a man who resembled Yoshikage Kira crossed with Kiryu Kazuma was facing a woman with pure white skin, white hair, and red eyes with black sclera. The woman in question was none other than Salem, and the man in question was known as Robert Osborn, AKA Hobgoblin.

"So, these Huntsmen and Huntresses are here in Neo New York City and are siding with those bothersome heroes?" said Robert, sounding like Yoshikage Kira mixed with Albert Wesker.

"It appears so, Mr. Osborn." said Salem "I will need your help in terminating these heroes, so we can create a new era in the 31st century."

"I accept." said Robert. "Although, one of my old henchmen, Arnold Halvey, has quit being Scorpion, due to the fact that he wants to have a 'normal' life, and work an 'honest' job."

"Perhaps I have the solution." said Salem, as a man with brown hair in a braided ponytail arrived. He had yellow eyes too. This was Tyrian Callows, a scorpion-based Faunus who was serving Salem.

"This is Tyrian, one of my most devoted followers." said Salem "Perhaps he could take your former assassin's place as the new Scorpion."

"Hmm. Interesting." said Robert "Judging by that mechanical scorpion's tail on his back, I'd say he's one of those 'Faunus' you are speaking about?"

"That's quite correct." said Salem, with a small smile.

"You're in, Mr. Callows." said Robert, as Tyrian was fitted with dark green armor with a more advanced scorpion's tail. His helmet covered his entire head.

(Author's Note: Tyrian's costume as the second Scorpion 3000 is based off of Scorpion's costume in the PS4 Spider-Man game crossed with Kamen Rider Horobi from Kamen Rider Zero-One, the first Reiwa-era Kamen Rider series and Scorpion's costume in The Superior Spider-Man comics.)

"Watch out, because THIS scorpion will destroy anyone who gets in the way of his goals!" said Tyrian/Scorpion, cackling madly
