RWBY: The Unknown Sibling
(Harry is two years older than Ruby and three months older than Yang)
To the Anon who mentioned my timelines in ages. He is correct, Harry is the same age as Yang.
(A Small Timeskip to Episode 1)
Ruby was out in Vale getting her magasine for new Weapon Upgrades in 'Weapons Monthly' when the door opened and several men entered. "Dust from the counter and from the vat. Get." Said the man in white, he turned to the elderly store owner who opened the cash register "I don't want the money, I just want the dust. Also everyone put your hands on your head."
The henchmen made their round the store when one of them found Ruby listening to her headphones. On of the Henchman discovered Ruby and knocked her headphones until they were around neck "Hands above your head."
Ruby innocently raised her hands before vanishing and kicked the man in the shin. Harry had taught her how to speed up parts of her body such as trajectory of her foot and how speed could relate to power. In this particular case the henchman went sailing out the door. Ruby quickly followed dispatching the other henchmen one by one.
She left the stoor and unfurled her Sniper Scythe Crescent Rose. She took the legs out from underneath one, fired and used the recoil to flip the scythe up so she could kick another in the face. The goons in her opinion were almost too easy to defeat. With that she assumed the man in white would be the same but he wasn't.
"You were worth every cent. Truly you were. Well, Red, I think we can all say that it's been an eventful evening and as much as I'd love to stick around..." The man in white raised his cudgel revealing the single shot and sights and he aimed at her "...This is where we part ways." With that he fired an explosive dust shot but Ruby had launched herself into the air. She rushed off in persuit and eventually engaged the man in combat up on the rooftops.
Whatever Ruby tried to do she was already out maneuvered and outmatched by the man in white. "Don't you know who I am?" Ruby hit him in the knee with the blunt end of her scythe "Nope. Not really."
"I'm Roman Torchwick! It's end of the line Red." With that he chucked the red uncut burn dust at her. Ruby had dialled a number in her scroll as another woman appeared shielding her from the explosion.
Torchwick giggled until he saw the purple glowing shield and gulped. This had just gotten complicated. Ruby gasped at the woman "A Huntress."
(Harry)
Harry groaned when he saw his scroll he had taken his sister into town so they could get groceries or rather he would and he would collect her from the Dust Shop. "Mind if I leave these here?" He asked the very attractive female adult rabbit faunus watching store before taking off at a run. Grabbing his sword from his back. If you were to compare it to Qrow's sword you could say that it was identical aside from the fact that it had a serrated edge on both sides of the blade and you could clearly see assorted barrels of whatever firearm it could form into.
"Ruby, we are so grounded." He grunted as he took off towards the sound of combat.
(Ruby)
Ruby watched in fascination as the driver of the bulkhead plane tried to dodge the relentless and unforgiving homing bolts of telekinetic energy. She watched as Torchwick stumbled and vanished only to be replaced by a woman clad in red.
Ruby watched as the Huntress summoned a black storm cloud of ice dust and sent it cascading down upon the bulkhead trying almost futiley to ground it before it can take off. The Huntress's eyes narrowed as she went on the defensive as the red clad woman began a bombardment of fire balls.
The fight finished with Ruby unloading several rounds at the Bulkhead all of which were deflected. Both young child and huntress dived for cover as massive fireball incinerated the area they had been standing in moments before "You're a huntress!" Gasped Ruby, she squealed and with her eyes making her looking as innocent as possible "Can I have your autograph?"
(Harry)
Harry slid to a stop. The fight had stopped and headed back to the store and headed towards the police station.
(Police station)
Ruby had been introduced to Glynda Goodwitch, Glynda had commented on her skill and then punished her with a sharp slap on the table with her riding crop getting an 'eep' from the young Rose. "But...there is someone here who would like to meet you."
Glynda moved out the way and two people entered one was Harry, who gave her a look of 'what did you do now? Don't deny you didn't because you blatantly did.' Ruby looked down "They started it."
Harry groaned "They started it. Professor Goodwitch finished it and now mum and dad are going to finish me for letting you get involved."
"I doubt that is going to happen Mr. Branwen." Harry turned around and another man who topped him by a good four inches entered the room, cane under his arm carrying cookies and a mug of coffee.
"Ruby Rose...You have...Silver eyes..." Ruby was caught off guard by the opening comment "So...Where did you learn to do this? In fact the pair of you?" Ozpin showed them, recordings of themselves working together and separately twirling identical looking scythes but anyone could tell that Harry's was a lot heavier.
"Signal Academy." Ruby said and the Beacon Teachers got a nod from the elder one as well. Ozpin's eyebrows raised slightly as he looked at the pair in interest "They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed? Please give me some credit."
Old but young heterochromia eyes and reverse heterochromia pupils stared into Ozpin's slate grey eyes. Ozpin was captivated by just how ancient the eyes looked "Technically it was our father." Ozpin nodded and placed the cookies down, Harry struck like lightning pilfering three cookies as Ruby took the rest "It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of your skill before. A dusty, old crow."
Harry inhaled a cooky into his lung, grunted and felt it move into his stomach "Our dad. Long story really. He may say but he may not. I've not been learning as long as Ruby has but I possess an unusual tendency to pick up practical skills easily."
Ruby mumbled "My father. I was utterly useless before he trained me. Back then he was my uncle. Before he took me under his wing I was garbage and now I'm like Wahoo Witchaa!" She even gestured a bit getting grins from the trio.
"So I've noticed." Ozpin then went on to ask the pair why they wanted to become Hunters and Huntresses. Harry shrugged "My gut tells me that I'm going to need the skills in life..." He trailed off deliberately and thankfully the teachers were smart enough to let it go for now.
"I've always wanted to help people." Admitted Ruby she trailed off going all fangirl and squealy.
"Do you know who I am?" Asked Ozpin curiously.
Ruby nodded "You're Headmaster Ozpin of Beacon Academy." Harry grinned "It's finally good to put actual faces to names sir. It's an honour to meet you." Harry said bowing slightly to the Headmaster before bowing deeper still to Goodwitch. "You must be deputy headmistress Goodwitch. You carry yourself like my old head of house. Firm, fair and only wanting the best."
"The pair of you want to come to my school?" Asked Ozpin, deep down hoping that the two siblings said yes. Ozpin loved more than anything other than keeping the world safe was teaching. These two were going to make his school interesting.
"More than anything." Said Ruby.
"Yeah. Considering its the only one I know."
The pair got a taxi paid for by Ozpin to take them home. They got home to find Taiyang talking to a pair of police officers "No need because they're here now."
Summer and Qrow breezed past Taiyang and ran to their kids. Qrow pulling Ruby close and Summer wrapping herself around Harry. The Branwen males chuckled when they saw that both the Roses were being easily carried off the floor "Mum...Do require...Air...I...didn't...do...anything." Harry groaned.
"What happened?" Asked Taiyang so Harry told them everything and everyone piled onto Ruby in congratualtory hugs and kisses "Squirt get your bag packed. It's going to be fun."
The trio found themselves on the airship to Beacon the following morning. Yang and Ruby were talking and Harry, he was asleep listening to his headphones. Ruby kept an eye on her brother, he was worse than a raging Ursa in the morning if woken early.
"What's that uncouth kid doing. Doesn't he know its impolite to sleep." Harry twitched as someone prodded him with a shoe. Yang turned "Please don't do that to my cousin." She said to the boy who according to memory looked a lot like a Winchester.
"Names Cardin. Cardin Winchester and get this..." Harry woke up, he grabbed his sword and held it at Cardin's throat attracting everyones attention "Listen shitstain. I don't like you. I really don't like you. You remind me of a pissy little brat that I knew at school that bitched to everyone if he was told something he didn't like so shut up, man up and get over it. For a fact my sister's probably got bigger balls than you." Harry growled holstering his sword and shoved Cardin back.
Cardin bristled but one of his companions stepped between them "Sorry about that. Cardin let it go. I can't tell what his semblance is but he can flatten you easily. Let it go."
Aside from that and the introduction of Goodwitch and Vomit Boy throwing up in the bin nothing else happened. The ship docked and everyone disembarked, Harry was among the first to get off pulling on his tenchcoat and deep hood.
The trio separated as Harry wandered around he bumped into unknowingly his first team mate. "Hi." The other person was a male standing at around 6'4 and carried rifle and chokuto to Harry's trained eye "I'm Adam. Adam Taurus."
"Harry. Harry Branwen..." The duo stopped then Harry opened his "You're a faunus right?" Adam's eyes narrowed behind his mask and grabbed his blade "Have you got a problem with that?" Harry's eyes widened and extended his hand "No. Don't take this the wrong way but you're the first faunus who I've actually had something akin to a dialogue with. I'm curious about Faunus actually."
Adam slowly took his hand off his sword and the pair began to talk about life and their hardships. Adam was pleasantly surprised at the non-judgemental conversation "Harry, I have a question. Humans or Faunus?"
"Team? Faunus. Humans well the ones I've met save my family and few others are assholes." As the pair talked they passed a group of four fauni who collectively snorted at the comment.
The four were: Blake Thawn was a Cat Faunus with a pair of claw gauntlets with underslung shotguns and two grappling claws over the top of her forearms. Nanuuk was a Polar Bear Faunus with massive in essence powerclaw lasers. Natsuki small tawny brown faunus with an animator semblance and particularly nasty looking harpoon staff and the last one was a moneky faunus with two pistol/swords not too dissimilar to Gambol Shroud only less adaptable and her name was Damiana Aphrodisiaca. "He seems to be alright.
Yang felt slightly guilty about ditching her cousins but figured they'd bump into each other. Harry has just been introduced to Blake Belladonna, a Cat Faunus, who looked like she had been caught in the headlights was struck dumb at the fact that Harry shrugged off the idea that she was a faunus. "Are you brain dead?"
Harry looked up to see a Schnee taking out some sort of frustration out on sister and he couldn't have that. "Got a problem?"
Weiss looked up.
