I don't own RWBY or Transformers Prime they belong to their respective owners. This fanfic is just for fun. Note *this* means that they are thinking so when you *see it* know that it is in their heads. Enjoy. Oh just thought of this so when you see [this] it means Bumblebee is talking.
All the Autobots just looked at Ruby not knowing how to go about it. The only main human interaction they had was with Agent Fowler and they weren't sure if all humans are like him or if it was just Fowler. There was also the fact that Ruby wasn't from Earth but a world that was made from what was left of Earth and Cybertron. To add more to the matter she was also Optimus reincarnation self. Which meant that she was in a way Optimus. Ruby just didn't remember being Optimus is all, but will get all his memories back at some point. It was just going to take her some time is all. Arcee walked up to her and kneel down to be closer to the girl's height. "Let me ask you this. Do you know who I am and if so how much do you remember of me?"
Everyone watched this all of them interested in what was happening and wondering what will happen. Ruby looked at her trying to remember the robot in front of her and was haveing a hard time in doing so but she did remember some things. "Your Arcee, you have two older sisters. One of them being Optimus's spark mate which makes her my past life spark mate named Elita One and...? Wait does that mean, I'm married or when you reincarnate you are no longer married to the one you were with in your past life?"
Everyone was at a loss for words because they didn't know the answer for that either so they all looked at Optimus who shook his head. "I don't know the answer to that either. My best guess is that you are not fully bonded to them anymore after you reborn. But at the same time be drawn to them and try and get back together with them. Which means you have a better chance at being remarried to them, then being married to someone you never knew. That is what I am guessing on the matter. But I'm not even sure that is right or not."
Everyone nodded their heads at that. "Okay and sorry to say that is all I remember about you Arcee. I only just started getting Optimus's memories. So I really don't remember much. I know that Ratchet is my oldest friend and the teams medic. That Bulkhead is the only former wrecker on the team. Bumblebee is the scout that has the damaged voice box. And that something really bad happens to Cliffjumper before Megatron shows up again. I just don't know what it was though I just know it was bad."
Everyone looked at Cliff who kept looking around to look at each of them. "What?"
Arcee gets up and walks towards him. "Okay, Cliff are you planning something that is going to get you really hurt?"
"Ahh no."
"Okay how about doing something that could accidentally lead to Megatron coming back to earth?"
"Oh heck no! I don't want him back on Earth! So why would I do something that could lead to him coming back?!"
Ruby thought about it for a moment. "I think it had something to do with Energon."
At hearing that everyone froze and Cliff looked like he was ready to make a break for it. Because everyone knows about his bad luck with Energon and Ratchet was going to address it. "Cliffjumper you better not be messing with our Energon supplies again. We don't need the base exploding because you're messing with it."
Before Cliffjumper could speak Optimus cut in. "Seeing that the event happens before Megatron's return. Let's try and prevent it by all means necessary. Cliffjumper you're only allowed to be near Energon in the base when you're refueling yourself and only when Ratchet is watching you. Also, you may look for Energon but if the team or your self-finds Energon then you are to only keep watch and not to touch any Energon. This will be in place until we know that Megatron is back on Earth. Do I make myself clear?"
Cliffjumper only nodded his head. "Crystal clear sir."
"Good. Now then since You may be starting to remember us but we don't know anything about you. Why don't you tell us about yourself?"
"Well... I just turned 16 years old."
At hearing that made Cliffjumper feel even more embarrassed because he was hoping he lost to someone who just looked young but really was older. But nope he lost to someone young in the human concept. "I'm from an island called Patch. I graduated from Signal Academy two years early and got to go to my dream school Beacon Academy."
Everyone was impressed that she got to move up two grades in her school system and Optimus also wanted to know where Ruby got her weapon. "That is very impressive Ruby. Also, where did you get your weapon?"
Ruby looked up at him. "You mean Crescent Rose? I made her."
At hearing that everyone was shocked that she had made the weapon, Arcee was the one to voice it out. "You made it?"
Ruby nodded her head. "Yeah, all students at Signal make their own weapons."
"What?!" The Autobots were at a loss at the moment.
"Yeah, why are you guys freaking out?"
Optimus was the one to speak for them. "Forgive us but we thought that Signal was a school for normal civilians and that Qrow was teaching you how to fight on the side and that Beacon is the school for fighting."
At hearing that it made sense to her about why they thought that. She was beginning to remember that on Earth children couldn't go join the Army until they were done with High School. *So they thought Signal was a civilian High School when Beacon was some sort of Military College?*
Ruby looked at them all. "Okay, first thing is that Signal is a Jr. High School when Beacon is the High School. It's just that the Grimm are so deadly that we can't afford to let those who want to be Huntsman or Huntresses to wait till they are older to learn how to fight. We have to start right away at a young age in order to be ready when we grow up. Huntsman schools and civilian school stay separate so our school is different than those who don't become Huntsman. And yes the civilian schools are the same as Earth schools. I did have to go to one before I was old enough to go to Signal. It's just we have to learn things a whole lot different than civilians. In fact, Huntsman age and grades are different than civilians grades."
That got Bulkhead Interest. "Really how so?"
"Children start going to Signal or any other Huntsman Academies of its grade level at the age of 10."
At hearing that shocked them at hearing that she started her training at such a young age. "And the normal age limit goes to the Academies that are in the level of Beacon is the age of 17 and you're there for 4 years. So you get done with Huntsman training when you're about in your 20's, not when your 18 years old."
At hearing that they all nodded their heads in understanding Ratchet then thought of something. "So Huntsman and Huntress are your versions of the military?"
At hearing that Ruby shook her head no. "No, each kingdom does have their own military. In fact, only Atlas is the Kingdom that has their military and Huntsman mix together to the point the school's for military and Huntsman school are one school put together."
At hearing that confused all of the Autobots because they now didn't know fully what a Huntsman really was Bulkhead was the brave Bot to ask the question. "So then what are a Huntsman and Huntress?"
Ruby smiled at him. "Huntsman and Huntress are people who work like the military and the police at times. But we are a special group of people who hunt and kill the Grimm. Sure the military helps but their main job is to keep the kingdom they are part of safe from threats from other kingdoms when we fight the Grimm. Also military and the police get the same weapons or at least weapons that the government says they can use. When we make our own weapons and we have no rules or limits to what we can use as a weapon. I know someone who has a trumpet as a weapon and another uses a purse as her weapon. The only two I know that were given their weapons was my partner Weiss and a boy named Jaune. And the only reason as to why that is because Jaune decided to use his great great grandfather's weapon and he did give it an upgrade not that long ago. As for Weiss, she is the heir to the Schnee Dust Company. And I hope you guys remember that Vector Prime told you all that Primus turned Energon into Dust?"
At hearing that they all felt a little embarrassed because they had forgotten about that and was going to ask. But at the same time were intrigued about what Ruby had just told them but also were wondering what she meant by Dust company, Arcee was the one to ask. "What do you mean by a company do you make your own dust?"
"No, no we don't make it its just Weiss's family owns the Dust mines and takes the dust to either be made to sell as Dust crystals or as Dust powder. I mainly use the powder when I make my bullets for Crescent Rose."
She picked up Crescent Rose and some of her weakest batch of wind dust bullets and looked for a good spot to shoot. She saw the doorway to leave the base and took a shot at the area. As soon as she did the wind started to pick up in the room by the time it was by the doorway there was a mini tornado. But it died down a little bit after the bullet finally hit the wall. All of the Autobots were now frozen from the shock at what they just saw. They didn't know what to think about the matter Bumblebee was the only one to speak. [What the...?]
"That was wind dust."
Everyone looked at her shocked that she could tell what Bumblebee was saying Optimus spoke up. "I'm going to take a guess and say that the Matrix of Leadership is letting you understand Bumblebee."
Ruby nodded her head. "That was my best guess on the matter as well."
Everyone nodded their heads agreeing to the idea. But then Arcee thought of something. "Wait you said Weiss was your partner. But I thought you were still in school?"
"Yeah well, Signal mainly helps you find out what your semblance is, help you make and help you learn how to use your weapon, and how to fight by yourself. When you get to Beacon your their to hone in on your skills that you have and learn to work as a team. On initiation day at least for Beacon, you get catapulted off a cliff into a Grimm infested forest. Where you have to land using your own landing strategy no parachutes and as soon as you land the first person you make eye contact with will be your partner for the next four years. Then the two of you have to get to a temple and get one of the relics which there are two of each. And make it back to the school the other pair that has the same relics you and your partner becomes your two other teammates for the next four years. Then Professor Ozpin will give your team a name which is made up of the first letter of each team members name and picks out the leader of your team. I got picked as the leader of my team and we got the name Team RWBY...! And it is RWBY with a W, not a U and we got that name because my Name is Ruby Rose making the R for the team name. The W is from my partner's name Weiss Schnee. The B in the team's name is from Blake Belladonna. And the Y comes from my half older sister and Blake's partner Yang Xiao Long."
At hearing that shocked them all until Cliffjumper started to laugh. "Ha, ha, ha! I'm sorry but the thought of Optimus having any siblings is kind of funny to me. Ha, ha, ha!"
At hearing that everyone started to laugh even Optimus chuckled a little. "Yeah, they were great. I miss them a lot."
At hearing that confused most of the Autobots with the exception of Arcee and Optimus fearing that the three were all dead. Ratchet was the one to ask. "What do you mean by missing them? Didn't you come here right out of your school?"
She shook her head no. "No, you see it is spring right now. But during the Fall, there was an attack on Beacon during the Vytal Festival. Salem's followers and Grimm along with the White Fang, Roman Torchwick, and his hence girl Neo attacked us. People are calling it the Fall of Beacon. The school can't be held because there are Grimm roaming the school and so many of them that they just can't get rid of them all. Some of the people I know were killed that day. Like my friend Penny Polendina which you could say she was the first and as far as I know only cybertronic being made since Cybertron and Earth become one world."
At hearing that shocked them, all and Optimus was the one to asked the question. "Ruby, what do you mean by that?"
"Her dad a human made her she was the first synthetic person capable of generating an Aura. To help you understand what Aura is, it is our soul mix with our life force. Think of it as your life spark but instead of it being only where the heart should be it is everywhere in our body's."
At hearing that they all nodded their heads and Ruby went on about what happened at the Fall of Beacon. "Another friend name Pyrrha Nikos died that day as well and both her and Penny died because I wasn't fast enough."
At hearing that shocked the Autobots, they didn't know why she blamed herself for their death. Before anyone could ask she went on. "With Penny, I found out that her match was rigged that she wasn't randomly put up against Pyrrha. One of Salem's follower's Cinder had them put against one and other. Penny's weapon is a bunch of swords that are connected to these invisible wires to her backpack. And Pyrrha's semblance was the ability to control magnetism."
At hearing that all of the Autobots froze there optic's widened in fear because they could guess what had happened. "One of Cinder's helper's named Emerald has the ability to make allusions as her semblance. So Emerald made Pyrrha see more swords that wern't actually there. Pyrrha used her semblance and Penny's swords went everywhere and the wires that connected to her and her swords cut her to pieces. That was when the Grimm showed up and the attack on Beacon started. One of the Grimm was this giant dragon Grimm that was making more Grimm. When I found out what Cinder did and what Emerald was going to do I ran as fast as I could to stop the fight. I was being chased by Emerald's partner Mercury who destroyed my scroll. Which a scroll is what we use as a cell phone. But by the time I got there it was too late Penny was killed and Mercury didn't see me as a threat anymore and just left me there to cry."
At that moment Ruby thought about Penny and the good times she had with her and also the day she died. The Autobots were concerned for her and were about to ask her if she would like a break from talking about it but Ruby started to talk before any of them could ask. "I found my team and some of our other friends only to see that Yang had lost half of her arm."
At hearing that shook them all to the core Yang wasn't just a teammate she was also family to the girl. The Autobots didn't want the girl to go on anymore since they saw how much pain this brought her. But again Ruby went on before they could say anything. "I found out that both Jaune and Pyrrha were missing and their two other teammates Ren and Nora which the four make the team known as JNPR were to hurt to go looking for them. So Weiss and I went out to look for them. At some point, Jaune called Weiss begging us to save Pyrrha and told us she was heading to Professor Ozpin's office which was at the top of the school's tower. Before we could get him to tell us where he was at he hang up. We got to the tower Weiss used her semblance which is making glyphs. She made a bunch as a straight line up the tower. I jumped onto one of the glyphs and used my semblance and run up which at the time I could only use speed. When now I can run fast and become rose petals and split apart to attack. When I got up to the top I saw Cinder shoot an arrow into Pyrrha and it turned her into ashes and blew away. At that moment I finally broke and for the first time used my silver-eyed warrior powers. I was out for some time and when I finally woke up I find out that Ozpin was gone and that I froze the dragon Grimm in time, Blake ran off somewhere and Weiss's dad forced her to go back to Atlas and some other things. At some point during the winter, me and what was left of Team JNPR which was the Team leader Jaune, Ren, and his partner Nora, went off to get to the Kingdom of Mistral."
At hearing that confused the Autobots as to why they did that and Optimus was the one to ask about it. "Why did you do that?"
Ruby looked at him with a look that all of the Autobots only ever saw from Optimus. "Because Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury said they were students from Haven Academy which is located in Mistral. So it was our only lead as to finding Cinder. When we first left we thought that it was all Cinder's doing. So we thought that we needed to find her and put a stop to her so that nothing like this will happen again. I want to be a huntress so that I can keep those who can't protect themselves safe from harm. Cinder and everyone else that helped her had killed and brought pain to so many people who I vowed to protect. And we also knew that what they did to Beacon they were planning on doing to the other schools and in turn their kingdoms that they are from. I couldn't just stand by and wait for more people to get killed all because I was upset at what happened to those I care about. If I didn't go and even more lives were taken because I didn't even try then what kind of Huntress am I?!"
Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Cliffjumper all thought the same thing. *By the Allspark she is Optimus!*
Ratchet had more thoughts on the matter. * By the Primes she may not act like either Optimus or Orion for the most part. But she has does have his determination. The will to protect others even at the cost of her own life. To never give up until the end. She keeps on going even when she is in pain. and above all, she has the same fire that Optimus that gives others the drive to keep on fighting the fight. If this Ozpin saw the same thing in her. Then it is safe to assume that Ruby also has Optimus leadership skills.*
Optimus just smiled proudly at Ruby. *We may be different in many ways but her spark is in the right place and I'm both proud and honored that she is my reincarnated self in the future.*
At that time Ruby thought she said a lot of stuff to them and thought that them being quiet was them trying to take in all the info she just gaved them so she waited for a while. But then after some time, she went on. "Anyways we recently found out that Cinder was working for Salem when one of Salem's followers named Tyrian attacked us. And as Vector Prime had said if it wasn't for Uncle Qrow we would have been dead meat. After that fight, Uncle Qrow told us most of everything. We didn't find out that Professor Ozpin was the last wizard AKA Alpha Trion host until we met the new wizard, Oscar."
At hearing that everyone's optics widened and they all and I even mean Optimus shouted the same thing. "What?!"
Ruby smiled at them. "Yep, that's how we all reacted when we found out ourselves."
Ruby then yawned and that made Ratchet look at one of his monitors to see that it was getting late for humans. "It is getting late. I suggest we call it a night and pick this up in the morning."
Optimus nodded his head. "Agreed old friend Ruby if you'll follow me I will take you to the room that Agent Fowler had brought up earlier."
Ruby nodded her head. "Okay, goodnight everybody."
All the other Bots nodded their heads at her. "Goodnight Ruby."
And with that Optimus escorted her to her new room.
Optimus and Ruby made it to the door to Ruby's new bedroom and Ruby turned around to look at him. "Look Optimus I'm sorry for me being placed under your care. I know I'm not what you expected and you'll all think I'm going to be a burden to you all."
Optimus looked at her, not at all shocked at what she just said. *It appears that she also can tell when something is up. Just like I can another thing we share in common.*
"It is fine your no burden Ruby. Even though we may not look it and there are some differences in our personality's. But I can see some of myself in you regardless of our differences. And you have been given a great burden at such a young age. I was much older than you are now when I was made a Prime. So don't worry about it."
Ruby only nodded her head at that. "Okay, then I guess I'll see you in the morning."
And with that Ruby went into her new room and Optimus walked back to his team.
