Hi guys and girls sorry about the delay, I was a little behind on school projects so yeah…

On with the story!

Ruby was led by Phill through the streets of the bunker, its lively inhabitants likely heading down to the canteen, their happy chatter echoing through the street like a wave. They walked on through a few guards and other Overseers before arriving at a main street of sorts; the neon lights contrasting sharply with the grey-concrete of the bunker's corridors. In front of the pair stood a two story black building with banners draped over its walls and a large golden Overseer symbol hanging over the Iron door, Walking up to the guards Phill said something to them and one nodded, allowing us to pass within.

The place's interior was a cool chrome Black with green wallpaper, the occasional painting or lamp covering the usual grey concrete along with a few shelves here or there. Ruby soon found herself within a lobby of sorts, the dominating feature being a painting of a man in a red overseer uniform gazing at the void, standing on the deck of a ship weathering a storm. The rest of the lobby was plain, a few sofas plastered around the area aside from a single door, labeled 'High Overseer'…

Within his office sat a man in his forties with a scared face, his sabre and mask hanging from the fireplace behind his desk, the man was Thaddeus Campbell, the leader and High Overseer of the Dunwall branch of the order, He stood at an imposing height and was dressed in a different, crimson uniform compared to the dull black of the others.

He had been cast out, abandoned by his own brothers, yet he knew they did not want him to go, he could see that much even though the featureless masks they wore and their black eye sockets. He never did give up, he fought both the plague and himself and trumped over both. Over time gathering those still uninfected and teaching them his ways, in turn they pledged their loyalty to him, drawing forth like moths to a flame. He and his regiment of misfits, thugs and general scum attacked a whaling ship leaving port on small paddle boats, capturing it within the half hour. As he stood at its helm he saw the abbey in the distance, fire belching from within and little lanterns and black outlines running around like fireflies. He remembered those faces, how they didn't want him to leave. He ordered the ship to be docked near the small wharf the Abbey had, he went down into the flames and rallied the remaining Overseers, with them he hauled whatever could be scavenged from within the flames. Guns, bullets, manuscripts and a few precious music boxes. With their merger supplies they sailed forth towards Serkonos, hoping that their native brethren. But a storm led them off course and they we shipwrecked on the southern coast of Vytal and set up a settlement there, discovering what a Faunus is, fighting Grimm and eventually building a small city in the forests and finding a bunker which (after some renovation) would become their base for many years, regularly trading with locals eventually discovering Dust and finally striking a deal with the locals, the local villages would each send one man or woman to join the Overseers every year and in return the Overseers would protect the villages from any Grimm for free and also station Overseers inside every village as a makeshift police force, at first the locals didn't trust these Overseers but eventually after a few years the locals began to think of being sent to The Overseers not as a punishment but as a privilege, the high overseer eventually decided to send Overseers from being posted to random villages to their home village whenever possible, after this the overseers became incredibly popular around the southern area of Vytal , however after around four years on the island the Outsider visited them and explained to them that he caused the storm that sent them to Vytal and that he wanted to see how The Overseers would act, after seeing the Outsider themselves, he also told them that in several years one of the marked whom was born on in Vytal and was a daughter of on Overseer , would join them, The Overseers voted to legalese Outsider worship, and old woman visited him then, a member of the Oracular Order (farseers) and sang him a song… he still remembered the words to this day, it was called 'Red like Roses'

Red like roses fills my dreams and brings me to the place you rest...
White is cold and always yearning, burdened by a royal test
Black the beast descends from shadows!
Yellow beauty! Burns gold!

Thirty years had passed since then, during those times The Overseers eventually decided to build their stronghold underground due to geothermal energy being possible at such depths, after many years it was complete and expanding, the Stronghold eventually became a large city of sorts which many wished to visit and for the first time there were as many civilian occupants than Overseers which lead to the creation of a law system and also jobs which weren't military in nature, all in his lifetime...

Ruby waked in to the room as directed by the Phill and saw a man in his mid-forties dressed in the same uniform as the guards outside except it was red and his one had a golden band on his left arm with the logo of this organization on it in black and gold

"Welcome Mrs. Rose, I am High Overseer Campbell, leader of the Overseers and founder of this city of stone"

"Hello High Overseer, I Am Ruby Rose and I wish to join the Overseers"

"Well Mrs. Rose, Have a seat" He said pointing to the chair in front of the desk "Now first of all I will ask you… why do you, a complete outsider want to join us?"

"Well… I have nowhere to go now that I'm all the way out here"

"I could have a pilot drop you anywhere in Remnant"

"No, I cannot return due to a set of circumstances I do not wish to talk about"

"If those are your team's abandonment of you I have no issue with that but if it is something else…"

"How did you find out?" asked Ruby anxiously

"Overseer Philipson sent me a report on you yesterday, it said something like that"

"I see… yes it is true, I'm a former huntress-in-training from beacon academy in Vale. I and my team plus a few others were sent here on a training exercise"

"Ok, well I have no issue with you joining but you must sever all ties with Beacon"

"That won't be an issue High Overseer; you see they abandoned me, on purpose. I suppose it was why you found me in such a state; they threw me off the Bullhead and sent down one of the Grimm-attracting beacons, attracting various Grimm to kill me"

"What is a Bullhead?" interrupted The High Overseer "I have not heard of such a craft before"

"It is a flying craft designed to transport Hunters into dangerous zones" explained Ruby

"I see… please, carry on. Why would they betray you?"

"I am 16 years old; the standard entry age for Beacon students is 18. The teachers always favored me, so jealousy I guess"

Campbell remembered Dunwall; the city they escaped was full of the sort that Ruby described. She had his sympathies now. "Ok Ruby, I think I'll let you into the Order. But you must first read through this booklet, it contains all the Rules and regulations and you MUST read through it and know that you agree to this you must follow the following conditions. I'll wait, tell me once you're done" said he while pushing a small folder across the desk to her and walking over to the kettle in the corner of the room.

As Ruby read through the paper, she noticed that the terms were quite good, all she had to do was first pass training which should last a year or two, then she had to last a year or if deemed necessary two depending on the missions she does, then she would become a full member after which she could either leave in which case her house would be marked as a safehouse for the order and she could be asked to help with supply delivery and the such (Essentially becoming a sleeper agent), if she stayed then she would be able to advance through the ranks and so on. "Ok, I accept" said she as she handed the file back over

"Excellent, but first I need to present something to you" he said revealing a worn box from under the table "I would have been unable to give this to you if you didn't join" and opened the box, inside was a rifle and a sword "Did you know your mother's mother was an overseer?"

DUN DUN DUUUUNNNN! Well how about that? Ruby's mum was an Overseer, also just so you know there will be some action in the next chapter, sorry for the wait
