General POV

The shattered moon glistened down onto a puddle that was soon stepped on by a group of men lead by a man smoking a cigar with slanted, dark-green eyes and bright, long, orange hair, that had long bangs covering his right eye and black eyeliner that traced his visible left eye. He wore a red-lined white suit with long black pants, black shoes, a small gray scarf wrapped around his neck, black gloves with buckled sleeves, and a black bowler hat with a small feather tucked into its red band. His name is Roman Torchwick, the gentleman thief. He continued to walk toward his target with his cane in hand.

Roman and his henchmen enter the shop as the bell above the door rings. If they were to have looked further into the back if the store, they would have found young girl wearing a hooded red cloak in the corner of the shop, reading a weapons magazine while not realizing what's going on around her.

The girl is seen wearing a black long-sleeved blouse with a high collar with a red trim on the sleeves, over which is a black corset with red lacing up the front, and a matching 'combat skirt' with red lining. She also wears a pair of thick black stockings and black combat boots with red laces, red trims around the top, and red soles. Her her head is covered by a red hooded cloak fastened to her shoulders by cross-shaped pins. Her emblem appears as a large silver buckle on her wide black belt, which is slung around her hips on an angle. Attached to her belt are a pocket and a row of bullets. She is a fair-skinned young girl with silver eyes and neck-length black hair with red tips. This girl's name is Ruby Rose.

Next to her, leaning against the wall, is a young man. Unlike like little sister, he is fully aware of what is happening and what will happen. His wearing long black dress pants and a pair of black dress shoes with red lases. He also wears a black pea-coat with blood red lining and interior, under that he has a red button down dress shirt that's topped with a black vest. He finishes this all off with a red and black striped scarf wrapped around his neck and a black flat cap with a red velvet interior. Much like his female counterpart, he has a pair of silver eyes and a pale complexion, but also has red hair with black highlights. His name is 'Roy' Rose and the elder twin of Ruby.

(Author's note: Imagine Qrow's hair cut, but Kushina's shade of red with a few black tips.)

The henchmen look around and at the Dust crystals in the display when Roman approaches the elderly shopkeeper. He flicks some ash off his cigar onto the floor, crosses his arms and asks, "Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Dust shop open this late?".

One of the goon points his gun at the old shopkeepers face, the old man raises his hands in surrender and say, "P-please! Just take my Lien and leave!".

Roman interrupts the man and says in a calm voice before ordering goon one to grab what they came for, "Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, calm down, we're not here for your money... Grab the Dust."

A henchman opens a case and removes one of several cylinders, which the group uses to take Dust from each of the tube containers on the walls. One of them places another open case on the display to the shopkeeper. He orders the owner to fill the container with uncut Burn type Dust, which the shopkeeper complies and fills the case.

While this goes on Roy watches all this as he shakes his head looking down and thinks about whether he should be disappointed in Pitch or feel sorry for the goons that are about to have their asses handed to them, 'Oh, Pitch. I really expected you have a handle on this by now, you've had over twenty YEARS to make a difference. And this is what I find? You really better know what you're doing, cause shit's really gonna hit the fan if this is anything to go by. I might as well get this over with.'

And as predicted by the elder Rose, as one of the henchman went another one of the tubes, he hears the muffled sound of the song "This Will Be the Day" from the direction of the noise, he begins to unsheathe his sword and points it at the girls back. While this happens he doesn't notice the brother putting on a pair of black gloves. The goon says to Ruby, "Alright kid, put your hands where I can see 'em... Hey, I said hands in the air! You got a death wish or som-mfft!?"

But before the goon can finish his sentence, a pair of hands come out from behind him as one covers his mouth while the is in front of his face. He hears a voice coming from behind him, "Sh, sh, sh, easy there big guy. How about you go for a little nap?"

Before he can respond he notices a small tube poking through his captor's sleeve as it then begins to spray a small amount of gas in his face. The grown man's body begin to fall limp as the boy gently places him on the floor. After he does that he pokes his sister on the shoulder, she take off her headphones off and looks at him, "Huh?".

He looks at her with a hand in his pocket and a thumb gesturing to the henchmen behind them. He says to her with a smirk on his face, "I think our little shopping trip is gonna need to be put on hold?"

She looks at the the goons that're robbing the place, "Oh~?".

He sighs with a small smile on his face as Ruby makes puppy dog eyes at him, "Yes, you can take the lead on this one. But do-."

Before he could finish his sentence he hears a loud crash and sees that she has already sent the remaining goons out the window, shattering it in the process.

He quickly follows her out the broken window, goes to stand next to her while she's posing with Crescent Rose in it's scythe form. He flicks her on the back of the head.

"Ouch! Hey, what was that for!? You said I could take the lead!", she complained to him.

He looks at the man coming out of the store, not taking his eyes off Roman and tells her, "I was going to say, "But don't break anything..." before you took off."

She looks at the broken window and winces as a shard falls and shatters as if to prove a point, "Oops".

Roman looks down at the beaten cannon fodder and says to himself, "You were worth every cent. Truly, you were."

He then looks back to the twin Roses, drops his cigar while putting it out, and said to them, "Well, now that happened." He looks at the brother or rather his outfit and says, "Nice hat."

The brother shrugs, "Thank, nice coat." Ruby looks between the two as if to say, 'What are you doing?'.

Roman and Roy look at each other and both say, "What? The guys got style."

Roman then remembers he's on the clock and collects himself, "Well then, Red and Stylish, I think we can all say it's been an eventful and somewhat productive evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around and share fashion tip with this guy..."

He raises his cane, aiming it at the ground a few feet in front of the pair, and opens the bottom to reveal a rifle with a cross grid, "...I'm afraid this is where we part ways."

Roman unleashes a red blast at the two and temporally blinds the two from the flash of light and the dirt the explosion picked up. Ruby swings her scythe and creates a gust that gets rid of the dust in the air, she then sees Roman and her brother aren't there. She turns around to see the two climbing up the ladder of a nearby building.

Ruby looks to the recovering shopkeeper and asks, "You okay if I go after them?"

The shopkeeper gives a short "Uh huh", and Ruby sets off and yelling, "Sorry about the window!", which just made him depressed.

Roman makes it to the roof seconds before Roy as Ruby began blasting through the air with Crescent Rose's recoil and landing right behind him next to her brother. She yells "Hey!"

Roman looks at the two and grunts, "Persistent..."

Roy looks at him with a look of sympathy while discretely launching a small device on the case containing the dust, "You have no idea."

Ruby look at her brother with a look of betrayal, and he responds, "What? He may be a thief, but that does mean we can't relate... fine. Sorry about that, siblings."

Roman looks at him with a shrug and says, "You can pick your friend but you can't choose your family, bye now."

A flash of light appears from behind hey see him getting on a bullhead as a woman in a purple cape steps in front of them, casting a circle of protection over them with her wand. As Ruby looks on, Glynda Goodwitch waves her weapon and summons several streaks of purple at the craft. Roman is thrown around in the back until he goes to the cockpit, where Cinder is undoubtedly struggling with the controls as Roman warns her about the huntress after them. She gets up and heads toward the back as Roman takes the controls. Glynda glows purple for a moment and aims another blast above the craft, resulting in a dark storm-cloud right over the jet.

With a flick of her ridding crop, large jagged hail starts falling that pummels the jet and even breaks through the window, narrowly missing Roman's crotch as he thanks whatever god that's listening. The woman reaches the back and her arms and chest light up like fire, aiming a burst of energy at Glynda. The Huntress blocks it, but the flame splatters behind her and glows hot with the enemy's raised hand. Glynda back-flips out of the explosion, which destroys part of the roof, and she gathers the shards to create a large arrow using her semblance, which she hurtles towards the craft.

While this is going on, Roy activate the devise from earlier, when that happen a long chain begin to go flying out of his hand and latches onto the case the device is connected to. When Romans sees the case falling out of the bullhead he curses and continues to pilot the best he can. Roy catches the falling contain before it disappears.

Meanwhile, Cinder repeatedly shatters the arrow with several blasts, but it kept reforming just in time to hit the side of the jet due to Roman's quick aerial lean. The wreckage separates and reshapes into more arrows that encircle the jet, but the woman summons several glowing rings around herself that expand and destroy the shards. Ruby, finally acting, reverts her scythe into its rifle form to fire at the woman, who blocks each shot and throws a grenade at her three opponents. Glynda telekinetically pushes Ruby and rolls herself out of the explosion's radius; only to realize it was a flash bang. In the end, all they can do is watch as the hatch close and their adversaries fly away into the night sky.

Roy looks at his sister and grimaces as he knows what comes next, seeing the sparkles in his sister's eyes. 'Please be under a bitchfest under ten minutes.'

Ruby looks at her and says, "You're a Huntress! Can I have your autograph?!"

4 hours later at the Police Station

Roy bangs his head against the wall in the interrogation room, 'GOD! *bang* FUCKING! *bang* DAMMIT! *bang*'

Ruby's face that was once filled with wonder and admiration quickly turn to one of shame and guilt as Glynda, with a tablet computer, paces around the table Ruby is seated at, right underneath a bright light in the otherwise dark room. Meanwhile her brother is making her feel guilty as he continues to bang his head while rethinking his life choices.

Glynda goes on with her rant, "I hope that you realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly. You two put yourself and others in great danger."

Roy looks at her with an angry and exhausted face and says in a calm but cold tone that would give Winter goosebumps, "Listen, it's 1 AM and a week night. I'm tired, hungry, and have things to do aside from those. Now, you WILL sum this up right now or I'm going to give YOU a rant you'll never forget. Oh, and by the way, the streets were empty. So, aside from the old guy that was about to get a bullet in the head, who are these others that we put in danger? And please don't say the goons, otherwise, I'm leaving. I'm sure you need sum sleep as well before classes start up."

Glynda looks at him for a moment before sitting down, putting face in her palms and letting out a sigh, "Very well, come in and lets get this over with Oz."

A few seconds later the door opens and a man carrying a plate of chocolate chip cookies and what smells like a cup of coffee, which earns a glare from the two exhausted people in the room. Ozpin looks at the twins and says, "The Rose twins..."

He leans in to look at their faces, "You… have silver eyes."

A tick mark starts pulsing on the brothers head and a crooked smile takes place, "And you~... have dyed eyebrows and a severe need to learn the meaning of personal space. If you keep leaning in like that on kids our age, someone will think you're a pedophile. Let me guess, you saw our skills and want us to go to your school. I've heard about how you like to bend rule when you feel like. The adults of our family graduated from yours school, so there no need for you to ask stupid questions like 'Who trained you to use a scythe?', 'Do you know who I am?', or 'Why do you want to be a hunter or huntress?'. Cause let's face it, you wouldn't be be here right now if you didn't already know the answer and that we'd say 'no'. Did I miss any thing?"

After everything Roy said everyone in the room, bar Glynda who looked happy that someone was able to shut Ozpin up and call him out on his bullshit, was look at him slack-jawed and and no clue how to respond. Ozpin tried and barely managed to collect himself and said, "W-well, yes, but-."

Roy walked past him while carrying Ruby over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, "Than I believe we're done here, we will accept your offer and will be going home now. Thank you and fuck off."
