Ruby: The legendary Rozè

Chapter 2

Ruby stood in the center of a stone walkway that lead to the entrance of a familiar looking school. The walkway was decorated with a pattern of street lights and flags with the academy's symbol on it all of which lead to a fountain made of three rocks in the center. She took in the lovely sight no longer seeing the remains of broken buildings filling the road. She saw students running in joy to get on the campus instead of fleeing in fear. No longer was there a dragon grim circling the top of the tower of the academy instead it was a proud light that signaled to the world that this was a beacon of hope.

"Quite lovely isn't it Miss Rose" Ruby looked around frantically trying to find the source of the voice. "I do like it more when it's filled with humans rather than grim."

"Okay, where are you?" Ruby yelled hoping to get the god to come out from wherever he was hiding. This out burst caused several of the passing students to stop in their tracks and look at the red and black haired girl to be talking to herself. All the students began murmuring among themselves which caused a huge discomfort in the red hooded girl.

"Now I wouldn't go and do that Miss Rose you will only draw unnecessary attention to yourself." Ruby used her semblance to dash off into the nearest bush and leave a mass of Roses in her place.

"Alright where are you?" Ruby asked frustrated that she not only made a fool of herself, but she was sitting inside a bush that was poking her from all sides.

"Simple Miss Rose I am inside your head, I did say I was going to be helping you along your journey." Ruby sighed wishing that this god would just tell him that he was going to be doing certain things before actually doing them.

"So how do I talk to you without looking like I'm crazy?" asked Ruby.

"Just simple think what you would like to say and I will hear it." Stated the god of light.

"Am I doing it?" Thought Ruby.

"There you go, I knew you could do it Miss Rose." Ruby could swear if she could see the god that he would have the biggest smirk of his face she had ever seen. Ruby proceed to jump out of the bush scaring to two who were passing the bush. She dusted herself off removing many twigs for her hair before a familiar name caught her attention in the biggest way possible.

"Qrow!" Ruby looked to see the origin of the name and saw what looked to be a younger version of her uncle Qrow with a blond man who reminded her a lot of her father standing on his left. To his right she saw a woman who looked like her sister Yang only if she was a bit taller, had red eyes all the time, and black hair. However the one person that stood out the most to her was a small red and black haired girl wearing a white version of the hood that her mother gave to her. Upon closer look of the woman she saw her. The woman who raised her and Yang their whole lives. The only person in the world that she loved in the world more than her sister. Her mother, Summer Rose.

"MOM!" Ruby didn't know how it happened nor did she really care, but in a matter of seconds she warped leaving a trail of roses where she once stood into her mother's arms. Tears were streaming down her face as she buried her face deeper and deeper into the younger version of her mother.

Summer herself was at one moment calling her friend Qrow who she had decided to race to school. She was happily laughing with her team and enjoying the good morning that she was having so far. Next thing she was knocked to the ground by an invisible force, she wanted to apologize to whoever she had bumped into. However she met with a strange weight on top of her, she looked to see a girl with similar red and black hair to her own crying into her chest. Summer tried to break free from the grasp of the girl who was only slightly bigger than her to no avail. Instead she took her hand and rubbed the back of the girl as she whispered into her ear telling her that everything was going to be okay.

Eventually Ruby had calmed down her crying subsided and the current situation dawned on her, she was in an unfamiliar timeline crying in the arms of a woman who probably had no idea who she actually was while more people that didn't know who she was were watching the whole situation unfold. Ruby jumped back out of her mother's arms and held her own hand out to help her up. "I'm sorry!" Ruby said doing her best to become as small as she possibly could.

"Oh it's alright, are you okay you were crying just now." Summer asked with a look of concern that remained Ruby of when she alive with her and Yang.

"No, no I'm fine mom." Ruby said waving her arms in front of her face.

"Mom?" said Summer confused at the title she was given.

"Who's a mom?"asked a blond who sprung up from behind Summer and wrapped his arm over her shoulder. At this time the two branwen twins had come up behind and gather with the rest of their team. The twins now looking at Ruby having overheard Taiyang and Summer talking about the word mom. All of team STRQ is looking at Summer and Ruby hopping one of them would answer the question.

"No one, no one is a mom." Said Ruby spastically.

"Then why did you call Summer mom?" asked Taiyang. Ruby loved her dad and in any other circumstance she would have loved to talk with him, but right now she wish he would stop talking.

"Hey! Are you still there I could use some help right now?" Ruby asked hoping the god of light would be able to help her out of this problem she got herself in. Ruby was sadly met with only silence. Ruby continued to think to herself and was only able to come with one idea, and she truly hopes that this works.

"Sorry about that I get a little home sick, and she reminds me a lot of my mom." said Ruby as sweat dripped down the side of her face.

"But you ran into her arms." Questioned Qrow.

"Okay, really home sick." said Ruby really trying to drive her point home.

Qrow wanted to question more, but was stopped when his team leader stepped in front of him and proclaimed proudly. "That's so sweet! Well your mother must be a very good person for you to miss her that much."

"Yeah, she is. . ." said Ruby as she rubbed the back of her neck nervously glad that she was out of that.

"If you're that home sick then maybe you shouldn't be here. This is not a school for the weak we are fighting real threats. We don't have time for trivial things like missing mommy." said Raven her tone static and void of any happiness.

"Hey now Raven that's not very." Summer tried to finish, but was stopped when Ruby walked past her and stood face to face with Raven silver meeting deep red.

"Missing your family does not make you weak." Ruby growled as she glared directly at the black hair woman in front of her. Ruby couldn't believe that this is the woman who would become Yang's mother. Raven and Ruby continued to glare at each other the tension in the area that the other students had all, but fled the area. The two girls were broken from challenge of each other by a morning bell that signaled all students that they had to hurry up and get to class. Raven walked past the smaller not even stopping once to look at ruby once. The two boys had followed behind raven though they at least past apologies to the girl in red.

"I'm sorry about her she may talk like that, but she isn't that bad." said Summer as she bowed at Ruby. Ruby only looked at her mother and smiled before she pat her on the head. Summer just smiled and dashed off leaving a trail of roses in her wake.

"Now that could have gone better." said the god of light breaking Ruby of her trance. Ruby only nodded agreeing with the voice in her head she was about to walk off in the direction of the school only to stop in her tracks.

"Hey! Where were you?"

"I was enjoying the sunrise, did you know there is this great place to watch it in Haven."

"I really would have loved your help back there." Ruby said annoyed with the god and how he would just leave her for a sunrise.

"Miss Rose I did say that I would help you along your journey, but only if its concerning the quest at hand. All things you choose to do for your own purpose are irrelevant and I will leave you to handle them as such."

"Thanks, glad to know you got my back."

"Quiet, now that is done let move back onto the task at hand."

"Right we have to get the relic thingys."

"Yes Miss Rose the relics of humanity."

"So I know I'm suppose to get them, but how?"

"Simple Miss Rose we steal them."

"Steal. . . them?" Asked Ruby unsure if that is something that the god of light should really be saying as a starting point for creating true peace.

"Yes steal them, as much as I don't like committing evils this is one of those necessary evils. You just need to find out where it actually is and how to get to it."

"And exactly how do you want me to do that."

"By going to high school!" Ruby didn't know what to say she had kinda hoped that by helping the god of light she wouldn't really have to go to school and she could just become an awesome hero. "By becoming apart of the establishment you can get a better idea of where the relic is located."

"By going to high school. . ."

"Precisely!" Proclaimed the god of light proudly. "Now onward Miss Rose to the headmaster's office."

"Wait, why the headmaster's office?"

"How do you else expect to get into beacon academy Miss Rose."

Ruby made her way towards the headmaster's pushing through the front door of the academy and going up two sets of stairs. She came to a large wooden when she opened the door she was met with an open room with one large wooden desk sitting in the middle it was filled with various papers. She was surprised to see that the headmaster was the same when she went to high school, headmaster Ozpin.

The man still looked the same as when Ruby went to high school, he still wore the same suit with the green scarf around his neck. He still had the same silver cane next to his side that she was pretty sure was his weapon even though she had never seen it in combat. The man had looked up from his paperwork to see a small red haired girl looking at him who seemed to remind him a lot of one of his students. "Hello." said Ozpin as he took a sip of his coffee.

"Oh . . . hi I was wondering if I could join your school." said Ruby as she looked at the ground not making eye contact with her former headmaster. Ozpin merely stared at the girl curiously.

"You do know that we are in the middle of the year." stated Ozpin.

"Oh yeah I knew that." said Ruby as she grew even more and more nervous by the second. The room grew silence as Ruby tried her best to come up with a response to give Ozpin.

"What do I do now?"

"You don't have a plan Miss Rose."

"I did, but I didn't expect it to be him."

"Well then it's good I'm here isn't Miss Rose. Now Miss Rose do exactly as I say and I guarantee that we will get through this." Ruby didn't argue she only nodded and this cause Ozpin to look at her with concern.

"Now Miss Rose use your aura and focus on controlling Ozpin's mind."

"Wait, what I don't want to hurt him?"

"Trust me Miss Rose no harm will come to him."

"Alright only if no harm will come to him."

"I promise." Ruby focused her aura on on Ozpin she started to glow with a white light and at the same time Ozpin did as well. Eventually after one minute of this Ozpin's pupils had started to fade and he donned a zombified expression.

"Now what do I do?"

"Repeat after me Miss Rose."

"I would join beacon academy the same year as my mother Summer. I would like to be put on a team and be the leader of the team. I also would like to be allowed to keep wearing the outfit that I am currently wearing." Stated Ruby still glowing white cause of the aura. Ruby watched as Ozpin still surrounded by the white aura filled out all the paperwork and in mere minutes set her up with classes and a paper with all of her teammates on it. She noticed one of those names was very familiar, Glynda Goodwitch. The white aura had faded off Ozpin his eyes now coming back to their normal color.

"I do hope that you will enjoy your time at beacon academy Miss Rose." said Ozpin as he waved ruby off. Ruby got out of the room as quickly as she could not wanting to stay and see if there were any side of effects to the ability she just used. Ozpin watched the girl named Ruby rose walk out of his office, he could only thing she was a strange girl. He took one sip of his coffee and proceeded to press a red button, the clicking sound of a mic could be heard. "Please send Miss Goodwitch to my office."
