Long ago on the world of Remnant it was Chaos the four main Kingdoms had declared war on eachother and for Centeres the conflict had clamed so maney lifes. This terrible war raged on with no end in sight. Neither side accepting defeat as an option. However all of that changes with the discovery of a crashed alien ship.
These strange creatures of metal once wadged their own war. One that tore their world asunder. And apon see what our war was doing to our world they could not stand by and let it happen. These warrior machines now known as Autobots have since stood guard of this world and it's people. But threw this they have help us become one but this joy did not last as there own enemies the Decepticons had come bring there was to our world.
Though now the Autobots had a new Ally on there side. Us and together word able to defeat the Decepticons and capture there leader Megatron and Since then remnent has known nothing but peace... Until now, Night falls on the kingdom of vale. Most of it's citizens have cleared the streets to either rest or hunker down in any number of shops and establishments.
How ever the silence is then broken when a man in armor made of Cybertronian metals and painted black as night was running across the roofs of the citys homes and businesses of the current district. Sounds of metal footsteps clunking along with the equipment he carried could be heard but so ever faintly you would need the most sensitive hearing aid to pick it up.
Magazine rigs and supplemental armor coved the Exo suit he was wearing. A large buldge on his back provide extra protection for his spinal cord but also houses a Thruster pack for long jumps or flight for several minutes at a time when fully charged. His light machine gun was also black as it resembled a old RPK from the Faunus Civil war but udated to modern needs and standards. His HUD glass glowed a errie blood red like he was out for a fight and kill. The latter being only partly right.
(A/N: the armor this guy is wearing is the Starship Troopers Invasion/Traitor of Mars Exo suits the moble Infantry use in those two movies)
He followed bunch of black vans that pull up to store. And from the roof of one building he watched as they stepped out of the vehicles a bunch of rather shady looking men. All but one in black and red dress uniforms while the one on the lead was in white. He then activated a sensor mode and watched as the shady men walked into the store and they all pulled guns on the clerk.
"listen old man if you want to make it out alive you will remain silent" the leader of them said.
"Gather the goods boys" he ordered, and all the men moved to open the dust display cases to steel the dust.
The man outside watching pulled his RPK out as well as a RPG. Setting up his LMG on the ledge with its bipod extended. He got a signal from an anonymous source.
"Yeah its them. I got a clear view with my VISOR. Ready to take the shot." the man said into a headset in his helmet.
The static voice was heard again and this annoyed him to no end.
"No if we dont kill him now who knows what hes planning next. Hes helped the Whitefang make IEDs. Im not letting him get away this time alive!" He stated back in anger and a hint of anguish as he cut the feed. But he knew he couldn't take put the leader sense the shop owner was also in the line of bullet penetration for his weapon.
Back to the men. As they were collecting as much dust as they could one of them spotted a young girl wearing a red hooded cloak stand with her back turned to them unfazed by what was going on around her. One man walked over to confront her. He taped her on the sholder and she turned to face him showing she was wearing headphones he then jestered for her to take them off.
"hay, kid" the man said. the girl then turned in to give him her attention.
"yes?" she asked
"I'm going to need you to drop what ever your holding" the thug ask pointing his gun at her
"are you threatning me sir" she said rather smugly
"yes" the man replied.
"Oh" she said.
Just then the man went flying out the window while his comrads turn to where he had just been and saw the girl this time she was holding a rather large Scythe.
"What the hell?" the man on the roof thought as he just witnessed a young teenage girl through his Visor mode on his HUD take out a crony
"Uh oh" one man said as he looked at the girl.
"I thought this was going to be easy" said another
"she's just a kid shoot her" the leader of them said as they all opened fire on her.
Yet she was so fast that she manage to dodge all of there shots. There aim was rather poor then a stormtroopers. The man on the roof watched in astonishment at what he was seeing. He then wiped his HUD to make sure he was actually seeing clearly. A small teenage girl manage to strik fear into leaders goons
"You really should just give up" she commented as she pointed her Scythe at them.
"you think you scare us Red" the leader said and then jestered his men to attack her, but she quicky took them out with her Scyth.
"Okay...NOW I'm scared of her" one man commented
"let's just take the dust and go" the leader said.
Him and the remaining crew grabed there cases and ran out the door. But where also met with the man on the roof with his LMG firing at them. The girl ran after them but when she got out they where already in there cars and driving off.
"Fuck!!!" the man said as he followed them Via the Roof tops again putting away his LMG and taking out the RPG.
"Dang it" she said to herself.
"Hay" one man yelled. "Your in a lot of trouble kid"
"hey I just saved your life" she yelled back at him
"And you just damaged my store in the process! Do you have any idea how much this is going to cost to fix"
"I was trying to help" She yelled back
"well try to be more careful" the old man said
"yeah I will"
And with that she zoomed off in the derection that the vehicals drove off in.
"You think we lost them boss?" one man asked.
"How about you let me think about how you all got your asses kicked by a kid as i drive? Not to mention that god forsaken Headhunter managed to track me of all people from Atlas to here!" The leader begrudgingly stated.
"hey Roman we got company" one of them said
"is it the cops?" another one said
"uh no..."
The leader of the gang Roman Torwick looked out the back window and saw a red blur heading tord them
"shit, that kids fast" he said to himself.
He then looked to the sky via the sunroof and felt his eye twitch in annoyance. The qoute 'Headhunter' he identified as the man on the roof that was shooting at them earlier was flying via his thrusters on his armor.
"And solider boy to...Nice...just my Fucking day." Roman stated with irritation.
"I got her boss" one of them said
Then the back of the car began to shift and transform reveling a massive mini gun. The man continuously fires to hit the child but cannot get a clear shot. Roman looked back through the sunroof and saw he couldnt get a angle on the armored man in the sky from here he was with his cane.
"What are you doing hit the brat" Roman yelled.
"I can't get a clear shot on her!" the man said.
Just then a burst from the flying armored man came from his side arm nearly making the guy on the mini gun almost fall out of the car. But was caught by one of the other goons. The chase went on it seemed to catch the attention of a yellow and black sports car that starts and follows the chase.
As the cars try to shake her the girl eventually jumped on one of them
"hay! Get off" the Gunner yelled.
The gunner then threw a punch at her and ducked to avoid it then kicked him in the face knocking him out of the car
"You want something done right" Roman said to himself.
And with that he stepped down hard on the brakes making the girls go flying off.
"Now let's see if you idiots can do what I pay you for" Torwick said.
All the thugs get out of the cars and surround the girl as she gets back up. Dusting herself off and pulling out her weapon. They had all bit forgotten the armored mans presence as they didnt see or sense him being around. Thinking he just ditched them. they looked at the kid with much great annoyance. All of them pulling the charging handles of there firearms.
"Look your guns aren't going to do much" she said ad they in vain tried to scare her
However after she said that the cars began to transform into giant robots.
"okay those mite do some damage" she said unsure of herself as she saw them finishing there transformation.
"human parasite" one said to insult her.
"Hey!"
Everyone turned to see a yellow sports car with black racing striped just sitting there behind them. Non of them noticing the black armored Headhunter arming the Warhead on the RPG.
"Now if I didn't know better I'd say this fight seems a little unfar" it said
"scram, fleshy" one robot said
"On I'm no fleshy Decepticon punk"
After he said that the car also began to transform into a robot. All Decepticons stare in surprise. A read crest in the bold moon light showed what looked like a more robot like human type face.
"Autobot!" One yells
"yeah and I'm here to take out the trash" he said as his hand transformed into a blaster
"get him" Torchwick yeld.
But then one of the Decepticons head exploded to pieces. Two of the four decepticons followed the vapor trail left by the rocket propelled grenade to the roof that the Headhunter was on previously but was missing. But then git hit by Bumblebee as well as shot in the spark. The humans then turn to face the kid as the decepticons try taking on Bumblebee only to find that when they turned around. The Headhunter was standing there with his LMG.
The girl was shocked that the armored man was in front of her. Without her knowing might she add. But then again she was to aww struck that a actual autobot and decepticon brawl was happening before her very eyes. And to here it was Awesome. However what she wpuld see next would be quite...explicit for her young eyes to have seen.
Romans men opened fire on the Headhunter. But what no one expected was his left forearm to deploy a metal slab that would represent some sprt of forearm like shield and a energy feild came out of it. Blocking all the bullets. The criminals then stopped to see if the energy feild was taken out as well as the Headhunter. Which...was sadly a no.
"Ah boss should we be afraid?" one of the goons asked.
The Headhunters Visor glowed red as he put away his LMG and his right forearm made a similar miniature shield like that on his left forearm. However when the right forearm shield was done both emitted two pronged energy like blades from what looked like rods underneath the shields where the wrists was. Roman was reminded of the time he lost a crew a few month's back when he attempted to rob a train that the whitefang took over. Which didnt end well as both sides where sliced to pieces.
"The girl no because that would be pathetic. This guy thought." he started as the Headhunter got into a menacing stance. "Yes be very afraid of him."
The Headhunter then dashed at what seemed like a blink of a eye. One goon who was at the front just dropped to the floor as his side spilled blood and his innards started to fall out of him. It disgusted the girl that she had to puke into a random trashcan.
"Anyone want to be next?" the Headhunter asked with a voice that sounded robotically.
"Well open fire!!!" Roman said as he pointed his can at him.
The goons did so as they unleashed a volley of lead at the Headhunter. But he dashed way to fast for them to react fast enough. Goons fell from slashes and stabs to quickly to Romans annoyance. The girl looked in horror as the Headhunter killed without remorse.
Then out of nowhere the Headhunter disappeared again. He and his last goon looked about carefully. But to no avail they couldn't see him. Then the last Goon didnt feel well. Looking down he saw the pronged blades exit through his abdomen and enter his back. Blood smeared across the forearm shields and the Headhunters armor and helmet. Then with a lift the blades of energy slid upwards slicing through bone and flesh. The body fell into a bloody heap as the shoulder separated from the body cleanly.
Roman held his cane in a defensive way like that if a short sword. The Headhunter started to slash and stab again but unlike the scared goons that died. He was at the most able to keep up with the armored man. Back with the Decepticons and the Autobot things where not working out. The two Decepticons kept trying to ether shoot or punch.
But the Autobot counters or gets a good graze in with his arm canon. They knew as they kept fighting that this was a losing battle. They have yet to get the Dust in there Storage banks to there current leader. And Roman is still needed. One of the decepticons looked to the other and nodded. It then ran at the Autobot while the other went for Roman.
The Autobot saw thats and started to fight again with the decepticon. Roman on the other hand was blocking all the armored mans strikes. Then in one swing the armored man managed to finally slice through Romans Cane. He stumbled back and fell on his ass as he looked at his weapon with great grief. He was then forced down by an armored foot. The energy like blades retracted back into the mans forearm shield. And on one end of the right forearm shield two holes appears.
A part of the shield cocked back a charging handle loading a 10mm round of Cybertronium. Powerful enough to blow through ones Aura and body with a lot of internal damage. He then pointed it at Romans face that was mere inches from the barrel. However the girl that was still in shock of the slaughter she had witnessed to there fellow man. She teared up at the loss of life. And now the armored man was gonna take one last life tonight.
"Stop!!" she screamed at the armored man who was about to pull the trigger. "Please. You dont have to kill him! He can still go to jail and serve his time!"
The armored man looked back at her as if she was insane. He glared at her from underneath his helmet. He turned back to Roman who had his hands up.
"Terrorists...dont deserve jail time." the man said through his helmet speakers. It made him sound alien like the Cybertronians here on Remnant. But a lot more robotic.
He was about to pull the trigger but the one decepticon that of the two surviving ones backhanded the armored man who crashed into a brick wall. His forearm shields retracted automatically so that he wouldn't hurt himself as he fell to the ground. The decepticon then transformed back into its van form and had Roman into the drivers seat as it sped off.
The girl just looked at the carnage around her. She wanted to be a Huntress. That much she was sure of. But whoever thought killing was right in her mind just seemed sick to her. She looked at the battle between the Autobot and Decepticon. The yellow colored Autobot punched and jabbed into his opponent. Keeping up the agression he left hooked the decepticon in the face hard enough to knock it out.
The Autobot who was victorious pulled out some energon bindings cuffs and placed them on the wrists of the unconscious decepticon. He then placed bindings rings around the rouge bots body. Restricting him of his movement of his arms and upper body. The Autobot then ran or what would be considered running. Ran to the unconscious Headhunter who only shook his head in irritation. He looked up at the Autobot as he got up.
"He got away didn't he?" He asked.
And much to his displeasure. The Autobot nodded its yellow head. The Headhunter then looked at the girl. who tried to shake off the horrifically mauled bodys by lookong at the Autobot in aww.
"Your Bumblebee! The best Autbot scout they have!!! Can I have your Autograph!!!!."
However much to her shock. The Headhunter put cuffs on her without warning as he had disappeared and reappeared infront of her. Then a transport with the Vale Police force came and a blond women came out as well as another tall Robot with the same Autobot symbol on the door wings of the bot that looked like a police vehicle as a alternate form.
She was so confused then the scene changed to a integration room. And the blond women was berating her for her actions during the night. The Headhunter just stood by brooding like a Edge lord in a dark corner if the room. Now Ruby would have been more comfortable to answer questions they may have. If it wasn't for the police vehicle Autobot listing off the crimes she had "committed" during the night. And it was a long list.
"And lastly damage to private and public Property." The Autobot finished his long eulogy
"Good Primus I thought that would never END." the yellow Autobot identified as Bumblebee said in extreme bordem.
"Really Bumblebee? You want me to list off the 'Crimes' you pulled tonight?" the Autobot police vehicle stated.
"Please no. And man your a Buzz kill Prowl." Bumblebee stated.
"Right...Scraphole." Prowl mutrered under his breath as he went to the computers.
"Can I leave now? My dad is probably wondering why I'm out much longer then usual." The girl asked who was cuffed to the table. But thankfully the chains attached to them where long enough for her to get comfortable in.
"No." the Headhunter said.
"I make those decisions Raku!" the blond women said.
"Glynda shes still here isnt she?" the Headhunter now known as Raku said.
"*sighs* I hope you understand the consequences of your actions young lady. You put yourself and others in great danger." Glynda the blonde women scolded.
"But they started it!"
"*sighs* If it where up to me youd be sent home. With a pat on the back." Glynda started.
This caused the girl to feel a bit more lighter in the situation she was in. Not to mention her friendlier face was a mock up better then that armored man whos still covered in blood from the men he slaughtered. It still didn't sit right with her that he wasn't behind bars.
"Really? That doesn't sound like the Glynda I know." Raku stated to himself more then anyone.
"And a slap on the wrist."
To help get her point across from the latter she brought down her riding crop onto the table near the girls hands. Causing her to eep.
"There we go." Raku said as if he found out where his colleagues real personality of punishing people went.
The blond sighs in annoyance to Rakus comment.
"But theres someone who wpuld like to meet you." Glynda says as she took her pad and walked away for a old but also rather a little young looking man with grey hair and eyes.
"Ruby Rose." he said as he took one good look at the girl.
"um..." Ruby started in confusion.
"What no asking me any questions about my anonymous Identity?" Bumblebee joked only to get a Glare from Glynda.
"You have silver eyes?" The man said.
"Ummmm..." Ruby replied still uncomfortable.
"Might want to back up Oz. Your creeping her out." Raku stated while Ruby did confirm his suspicions by nodded in agreement.
"So where did you learn how to do this?" Ozbin asked removing his face from Rubys.
"Ahhh...Signal Academy." Ruby replied.
This rose Rakus eyebrow as Ozbin was impressed. Glynda seemed indifferent as Prowl and Bumblebee just shrugged to eachother.
"Really?" Raku said skeptically
"hush!" Glynda said to him.
"They taught you to weild one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" Ozbin asked
"Good call on taking away her weapon." Raku said.
"Yes they did." Ruby replied.
"Ah I see. Now why is a adorable little girl like you going to a school designated to train warriors?" Ozbin asked.
"Yeah I wanna know to." Raku stated. with sarcastic curiosity.
"Well I want to be a Huntress." Ruby said excitedly.
"Oh gods a dreamer..." Raku stated unamused by Rubys cute antics.
"You want to slay monsters?" Ozbin asked.
"Are you just gonna tell her that she onlys fights grim? Or you gonna explain reality to her?" Raku stated but was ignored by everyone in favor of Rubys conversation with Ozbin.
"You really are a edge lord." Bumblebee pointed out.
"Or maybe im just someone whos lived in reality and sees how shitty the world actually is." Raku replied to the young bot.
"Right..." Bumblebee stated rolling his optics.
"Well its just that I've only seen one Scythe welder of that caliber before. A dusty old Qrow." Ozbin said.
"Thuts muu runkle." Ruby said with a mouth full of cookies.
"Damnit swallow before you speak!" Raku said
Ruby swallowed her mouth full of voikies before burping wiping her face.
"Sorry. Thats my uncle Qrow. Hes a teacher at Signal. Trust me I used to be complete garbage before he took me under his wing. Now im all like (insurt stereotypically ninja nosies here)" Ruby said while doing karate chops fast.
"Wow that was racist." Raku stated before getting another glare from Glynda.
"I only have two more years at Signal before I apply to Becon. You see my sister is applying to Becon because she wants to be Huntress. And well I wanna become a Huntress. And I like to help people. And my parents always taught us to help others so im like why not make a career out of it. I mean the police force is alright but Huntsman and Huntress sound just more exciting gosh you know!!!?" Ruby said very quickly.
"Clearly your a voice of a generation." Raku thought of Rubys childish display.
"Clearly. Do you know who i am?" Ozbin asked.
"Oh no..." Raku mutters.
"Your Ozbin. Headmaster of Becon Academy." Ruby replied.
"No no no Ozbin dont say what I think your gonna ask." Raku stated before getting another glare from Glynda.
"Hello. there." Ozbin said.
"Nice to meet you sir." Ruby replied.
"So would you like to come to my school?" Ozbin asked.
"Gods damnit Oz." Raku thought.
"Wait...what?" Ruby asked super confused.
"Would you. Ruby Rose. Like to come to Becon Academy?" Ozbin asked again but more clearly.
"I'm...I still have to complete my last two years at Signal!" Ruby stated
"Yes. But Im asking you if youbwould like to attend. Your combat skills are very good above those at your combat school."
"I dont know..." Ruby said
"No Oz! Absolutely not!!!!" Raku stated aloud.
"Please Raku this is her choice." Ozbin replied.
"No Oz. Shes not ready to handle going on REAL missions. Or did you forget what happened to Gretchen Rienheart?" Raku said coldly.
Ruby while somewhat agreeing with Raku she still felt uneasy with him making her choices.
"Raku...please." Ozbin said firmly.
"Reality check Ozbin. Those guys that I killed she threw up the minute I spilled first blood. She cant handle a Huntress life when she will refuse to kill." Raku stated.
"It didn't have to end like that!" Ruby shouted.
"News flash Kid! Your enemy's wont give you time to puke. Out there its kill or be killed. You may he fine with killing Grim. But there is more to a Huntress life then just that. You would be hired ti take out some mad man or warlord that will involve taking lives. Its ether your enemy's and target. Or you. And not everyone makes it back." Raku replied narrowing his eyes.
"Its people like you that make me sick. You romanticize the thoughts of being a good and faithful Huntress when you haven't even begin to comprehend your career choice Kid. I lived a Huntsmans life sense I was twelve years old. Amd let me tell you it never got easy or ever was easy. You will be asked to take down people who are a threat to a village or society. The grim are mear canon fodder. But another Human or Faunus Beings is a different ball feild!" Raku stated before turning around and leaving.
"Raku I'm not done with you!" Glynda shouted.
"Oh I know. Thats why I'm leaving." He replied to Glynda before leaving.
Ruby looked at Glynda to who was rubbing her temples at Rakus outburst.
"Please forgive him. Hes...never had a good life. Theres a great many things that happened I'm not at liberty to disclose. But hes had it rough. He just wants the best for people." Ozbin said.
"Does it have to mean he belittles people and think hes superior?" Ruby asked
"He doesn't consider nor feels superior Ms.Rose. Hes just had burdens to great that he carries alone along with the grief. Dont mistake his sarcastic or belittling attitude as his main stay. Hes a very broken young man on his last legs." Ozbin said taking out a card. "If you feel like changing your mind Ms.Rose. Just call."
Ruby took the card with his number. She was eventually released and Bumblebee offered to drive her home. As they where on a farry that was crossing between Vale and Patch. Ruby Looked at the card with Ozbins Scroll number. Often also looking at her own unoccupied scroll attached to her belt. The silence was defining.
"So...ah you thinking about going to Becon?" Bumblebee started.
"Well...im just not sure. I mean. At the very end of that confrontation. All I was doing was nothing at the end." Ruby replied but suppressed the memory of bloodshed.
"Jusy dont listen to him kid. If anything he's just probably a drunkard whos lost his flask." Bumblebee said.
"I guess your right." Ruby said
Soom the ferry docked and Bumblebee was able to drive off and head to Rubys house.
"This is it Bee." Ruby said as he stopped.
Tai Yang Rubys father waa waiting by the door with a rather large shotgun. Ruby just blushed in embarrassment as Bumblebee asked.
"Is that red neck your dad?"
"No and yes." Ruby replied
Ruby got out of him and closed the door. Tai Yang then saw her get out of the car. He walked down to met her and gave her a hug. He watched as Bumblebee drove off. When he ushered her inside the house. He scolded her for being out so late and worrying him half to death when she called him from the police station.
"So anything interesting happened Ruby?" Tai asked.
"Professor Ozbin was...an interesting character. Though he thinks im ready for Becon! I haven't even completed combat school. Not to mention my Hand ti hand is...rusty." Ruby replied rubbing her arm.
"Ruby. If the Headmaster of Becon sought you. Then you are very skilled to have caught his attention." Tai said. "Just think about it."
Ruby nodded as she went upstairs and took a shower and got into pajamas that consisted of white sweats with pink roses and a black no sleeve shirt with a heart on it. She looked at the card Ozbin gave her. As well as considered what that Headhunter named Raku said.
"If you cant kill another human being or Faunus. Dont bother becoming a Huntress. Because people like you who wont kill. End up dead in a grave. The real world and reality. It will chew people like you and spit you out like your chewing tobacco. People who romanticize the thought of being in this life. End up as the first ones on the ground with there guts hanging out of them. Screaming for there goddamn mothers. Thats something you clearly didnt get when I was going to kill off Roman. Let me know when you have. reality check. Because I wont be laughing when i said I told you so."
She breathed in and out and dialed the number.
"Hello?" Ozbin said
"Professor Ozbin? Ive made my decision." Ruby replied.
"Really what is it?" he asked
"But First I want a make a bargain."
"Oh. What might that be?" Ozbin asked.
The next morning
"WHAT!?" shouted a very pissed off Raku on his scroll.
"Raku I'm cocerned about you. You where never like this until you met her." Ozbin said.
"WHAT IN YOUR RIGHT MIND WOULD THINK TO HOLD ME BACK DUE TO A LITTLE GIRLS BARGAIN!!??" Raku shouted in anger. "Ozbin I've been investigating for you for the past year. And now your kicking me to the curb. To serve as a student in your damn school? Because of a little Girl?"
"Well even so Raku. Your not technically a licensed Huntsman. If anything people will see you as a bounty hunter." Ozbin trys to reason.
"So be it! I dont give a damn about some title! I am a Headhunter. Ozbin. I putting me in a school with a bunch of dreaming hormonal teenage brats who think they can jack it in the wilds!" Raku stated
"But i didn't say that youd be a student. Ill see you at the initiation speech in a hour. And do clean the blood off your armor. Its nit a sanitary panit job." Ozbin said as he hung up.
Elsewhere in Vale
Raku looked at his scroll and pressed the sleep button. He then went to the docks to Becon Academy. But much to his utter disappointment. Ruby Rose was also on that shuttle.
"Fucking damnit." he mutters under his breath.
