Chapter 2: The Ice Queen

It had been a few days after Ruby and Yang got used to the idea of monsters popping out of her. One thing they found out is that the dangerous portals opened during moments of extreme negative emotions Ruby felt.

Some of the emotions she and Yang had noted were nervousness, fear, anger, sadness, and jealousy.

Other things they noticed were mutations to Ruby and her belongings during extreme positive emotions and other states hygiene wise. One such incident had almost caused Yang to be digested by her room when she went to collect laundry. But that was to be told for another time.

Ruby was now sitting on her bed with the talking cloak laid across from her.

"So…" Ruby broke the silence, staring at the fabric.

"So what?" It said back. Having it around had been handy for Ruby after she got over her shock. It was sentient, but it was also helpful to her.

"Do you even have a name?" She asked, looking it over and tilting her head.

"You tell me." It muttered, shuffling a bit. "I came out of you, so be a good host and think something up for me. …Just make it something cool and amazing."

"Okay." She said, putting on a thinking pose. After a minute she had one more important question to ask. "…Are you a boy or a girl?"

"What kind of question is that?!" It shouted, wrapping itself around her and having her slap herself.

"I'm sorry!" She whined, trying to resist. "But how am I gonna give you a proper name if I don't know your gender?"

"Just think f something cool, okay?" It grumbled, letting her go. "If you notice, I don't have any form of reproduction. My kind are a symbiotic bunch that produce asexually."

Choosing to ignore the hard words it was telling her, she gave a name. "How about Raggio?"

"I said cool!" And it was back to the slapping. "Am I some sort of rag draped over your shoulders? Do you wear rags all day? Huh?"

"Okay! You don't like the name!" She little prodigy cried as she tried to get him off. "Why don't you think of a name yourself?"

"…" It had stayed silent for a few seconds. "I cant think of a name either."

"Hypocrite!" Ruby shouted, smacking it with her pillow. "…Maybe Yang could help. She's good with names."


With Yang

"Raggio." The busty blonde said, not turning from the tv.

"Already said." Ruby said, holding her cloak from strangling her sister.

"Dang." She muttered. "…How bout Crimson."

"I'll take it!" The cloak said in glee. "From now on, I'm Crimson."

"Great." The younger girl said, taking her bag and putting on her uniform. "I'll see you after school, Crimson."

"Woah, hold up!" It said indignantly. "Aren't you going to take me with you?"

"I can't go around wearing you wherever go!" Ruby said with a face. "Everyone will think I'm weird. And the days are extremely hot."

"But I'm your partner!" It whined. "We stick together."

"I'm not walking around like some little red riding hood character." She stood her ground. "I'd be seen even more like a kid in class."

"You're technically still a kid Rubes." Her older sister added. "A teenager, but still a kid."

"Whose side are you on?" She cried out.

"If size is the problem, then no problem!" Not waiting for her reply, Crimson had wrapped itself around Ruby and started shrinking while tying itself around her neck. "Ta-dah!"

As Yang looked over her sister, she was impressed by what Crimson had done. It had shrunk itself into one of those clip-on ribbons that were seen on some of the sailor fukus. It matched with Ruby's dark navy blue school uniform since the colors contrasted.

"Nice job Crimson." Yang gave a thumbs up.

"Meh, you guys got nothing but fashion mags and the TV has nothing good on." After a while, they got used to Crimson's voice. It wasn't so creepy after hearing it a few times. "May as well …spoil myself."

"Well either way," Ruby had groaned, knowing the tone in her sister's voice. "You really 'suit' her well."

"Let's just go Crimson." Ruby grumbled, heading out the door.


Outside

"Good morning Ruby!" A busty brunette called out to her from across the hall.

"Hi Aunt T!" She greeted back with a smile. Ruby really loved her Aunt. She wasn't related by blood, but she was a close friend of their dad's and she was super nice.

"I see you've decided to try a new look." Her aunt took notice of Crimson. Somehow, Ruby could feel it preening itself. "The color really suits you."

"Thanks Aunt T." Ruby shuddered mentally, remembering Yang's pun. "You look real happy today."

"I am!" She gushed while putting on a huge grin. "I just received the most wonderful news ever!"

"What's going on?" Whenever her aunt was this happy, it meant a big change.

"I'm not going to say." She said in a hush tone. "It's a surprise."

"…Okay Aunt T." She said, heading off to school. "I'll see you around."

"You take care now." She waved away.


Streets of Vale

Ruby's good mood was stopped, when she saw her bus leaving without her.

"Wait!" She shouted to no avail. Grumbling at the unfairness, she didn't take notice to someone walking up to her.

"Excuse me?" The person tapped her on the shoulder. Turning around, she saw a blonde guy who looked Yang's age wearing the same uniform as her. "Is this the bus stop to Beacon Academy? I'm new around here."

"Sorry." She mumbled, still sour about being late to the bus. "The bus just left a few seconds ago. The next one comes in thirty minutes."

"That's a shame." He muttered, looking down. "Think we could make it to class if we walked form here?"

"We'd get there." Ruby answered, feeling awkward talking to a guy she's never met. "But we'd probably be late and get a late slip. You'd need a really good excuse to be late. And the bus leaving you doesn't count. It's been used too many times."

"…How about helping the new kid that got lost in the big city?" He offered, extending his arm out for a hand-shake. "I'm Jaune. And you?"

"Ruby Rose." She introduced herself and shaking his hand. "Nice to meet you Jaune."


A few minutes later

The two had made it to the school gate with three minutes to spare. As it turned out, the city had made few renovations to the streets, so there was a shortcut for people who walked to school. While walking with Jaune, Ruby had found out he was in the same year as her sister and he was from a different town called Arcadia. She got along with easy since they both shared some of the same interests. Ruby could say she had finally made a friend in high school.

As the two entered the gates, Ruby had waved bye to her new friend.

"See you around." Jaune said, going up a floor.

Heading over to her locker, Crimson had taken decided to talk.

"Looks like someone made a friend." It said in a teasing tone.

"So?" She whispered, in case someone was nearby. "It's great that I finally have a friend in high school."

"Good for you." It continued to tease. "Your first friend in high school is your boyfriend."

"Aww come on!" She said in a huff with a small blush. "Can't I have a friend that's a guy who also shares the same interests in the same things as I do?"

"Sure you can." It said meekly. "And they're called boyfriends."

Ruby had smacked her head on her locker. It was official. There were now two Yangs in her life.

"Let's hope class is eventful." She muttered to herself.

In class

"We have a new student joining us today." Professor Oobleck had announced while writing the name of the student on the board. "Please welcome Weiss Schnee to the class."

"Thank you sir." A girl with a side ponytail and white hair stood up. "Nice to meet you everyone."

The whole time class had been going on, Ruby had a feeling that something was up with Weiss. And for some reason, Crimson was tugging on her to get her attention. And for some odd reason ,she could feel herself sweating more than she usually does.

"Ruby."

"What?" She whispered, hunching over so no one could hear her.

"I can feel a portal opening up in you." It whispered back. This had caught her undivided attention.

"Right now?" She was sweating more now as she was panicking.

"Don't worry. It's a low level like me." The ribbon said, trying to calm it's host.

"Cant you eat it like you did the Beowulf?" She asked.

"I can't eat it." She was back to panicking again. "It's a symbiote like me. Eating it would cause a horrible reaction."

"So how do we stop it?" She didn't want a repeat of what happened in her apartment. She felt all her sweat leave her.

"It needs to take form." Crimson explained. "Once it does, I can eat it since it finally has a host."

"When will it come out?" She asked, thinking of a strategy.

"…It's already loose." It said sadly.

"WHAT?" Ruby shouted, forgetting she was in class.

"Yes, I know Ms. Rose." Mr. Oobleck said in a sad tone. "This side of history is most shocking even to me."

Sitting back down in embarrassment, Ruby took note that half the class was laughing at her. Weiss had looked at her with a sour face before shaking her head and turning back to the lesson.

As the lesson ended, Ruby had packed her notes to head over to the chemistry labs. On her way she saw Yang laughing while talking to her new friend Jaune.

"You're my new hero." Her older sister laughed, clapping a hand on Jaune's shoulder.

"Oh come on. Tell me you wouldn't do the same thing if you were in my shoes." He said humbly between a few chuckles.

"Yang!" Ruby called out to her sister.

"Hey Rubes/Ruby." Both blondes said at the same time. As both turned to each other, the stare they gave held the same question.

"She's my sister." Yang went first.

"She helped me find my way here." He answered last. They then both turned to look at the youngest out of them.

"So Rubes, how was class?" Yang asked, leaning on the lockers.

"We got a new classmate. No big deal." She tried to act cool in front of them. "Also, something might have popped out."

"Okay?" She said, not sure where her baby sis was going with her sentence.

"Yang." She said urgently. "Something. Popped out."

"…Should I be here for this?" The other blonde asked, feeling awkward about what they were talking about. "Cuz I can just leave you two alone."

"Yeah, sorry Jaune." Ruby really meant it. "Kind of important girl talk."

As Jaune left, Ruby had explained to Yang what Crimson had told her.

"Are we safe?" Yang asked, still uneasy of what happened a few days ago. "The school's not gonna turn into some kind of digestive tract, is it?"

"That only happened to my room." Ruby said indignantly. "Besides, it's a low level, so Crimson can handle it."

"WE can handle it." It piped in after feeling it was safe to talk.

"Right." Ruby nodded, preparing to get to class. "So I'm headed off to chemistry lab. If anything does happen …I'll wing it from there."


During Chemistry

"So what are we trying to do again?" Ruby asked Weiss as they were now lab partners.

"We're trying to make a super saturated solution that will crystallize the moment there is a change in temperature." Weiss had explained once more.

"What?" To be fair, Ruby may be a prodigy, but it was Chemistry where she failed the most.

"…Are you really a prodigy?" Weiss muttered under her breath. Shaking her head, she grabbed the vials Ruby was holding. "Nevermind. Just hand me the beakers and other stuff when I ask for them."

"Okay." After a few minutes of the Ruby following Weiss's orders, their solution was almost complete.

"Now, Ruby." Weiss said slowly. "I want you to turn the dial slowly as I continue to stir the solution. Got it?"

"Got it." Sadly, Ruby had turned to quickly and had caused the temperature to change too dramatically. What happened next was the whole solution expanding until it was a giant crystal on their table.

"You …DOLT!" Weiss snapped, seeing her work destroyed. "I told you to turn it slowly."

"…I'm sorry." Ruby tried to apologize. Sadly, Weiss wasn't having any of it.

"Just forget it." She grumbled walking out. Ruby had followed her into the restrooms. "Leave me alone!"

"I really am sorry." Ruby apologized again. "If we head back to class, we can redo the experiment and get it right this time."

"I don't want to be here!" Weiss shouted through the stall door. "I hate it here. I …I have no friends here."

Suddenly, there was a deep tremor as the water in the stall had started leaking.

"This is bad Ruby." Crimson whispered to not alert Weiss.

"I think I know how the symbiote got past me." It said, remembering how sweaty Ruby was during her first class. "I think it leaked out through your pores as sweat."

"Eew." Ruby said, seeing toilet water flowing out of the stalls. "Weiss. Let's get out of here. All the stalls are overflowing."

She was met with silence. "…Weiss?"

"It's here Ruby." Crimson said, feeling the symbiote appear. "Brace yourself!"

As Crimson had shifted back into cloak form, the doors Weiss was behind were blasted open. Luckily, Crimson had swatted them away before they could hit Ruby. As Crimson had lowered it's guard, both host and symbiote saw Weiss with the waters forming around her and crystallizing into a dress.

"The symbiote will take over other people too?" Ruby asked her cloak.

"It looks like they're both trying to fight for control." It answered back, hearing the screams the other creature was making. After a few seconds, Weiss had stepped out of the stall looking at the two of them with narrowed eyes.

"Weiss?" Ruby called out to her. "You okay in there?"

She got her answer as Weiss had formed a sword out of water and had lunged towards her.

"Not today!" Crimson shouted, grabbing her and throwing her out the window.

"Weiss!" Ruby shouted, worried for the new student. "Crimson stop! You're hurting her!"

"If you haven't noticed, SHE'S TRYING TO KILL US!" It shouted back, bringing the two of them outside.

"Can't you just eat the symbiote now?" She tried to reason with it.

"It's still too strong." It explained. "If I try to eat it now, it'll rip right through the both of us. Literally. We gotta weaken it first."

"So it's like Pokemon!" Ruby concluded, narrowly dodging a swipe at her head.

"I don't know what that is, but if that's how you see it…" Crimson had caught the blade with one of it's tendrils as Weiss had tried to do an overhead slash. "Argh!"

"Crimson!" Ruby shouted, seeing a piece of it tear off. She had ran off and hid in the forestry around the school to check on her cloak. "Are you okay?"

"I can't fight her alone like this Ruby!" It seethed in pain. "Think of a weapon! Something to combat against her."

"But I don't know how to do that!" She said getting scared.

"I'm not just a cloak you idiot!" It shouted to her. "We are one! I need you to sync with me. Remember that feeling in your head. All that power! Put me on."

"But I am wearing you!" She cried, not understanding what it meant.

"No you're not!" It growled. "I'm the one doing most of the work while you're just cowering behind me! I need you to fight with me."

"…Okay." She said, feeling determination. "Crimson, I'm putting you on!"

Suddenly Ruby could feel herself getting lighter. Her eyes had turned silver again and her uniform became a deep black that absorbed the light around it.

"Lets go partner." Crimson said, swirling as Ruby had ran off at a quick speed to find Weiss.


With Weiss

The Ice Queen was currently looking around for Ruby. Students were still in class, and were paying no mind to the girl dressed in all white shifting through the trees looking for her opponent.

Suddenly she was knocked off the branch she was standing on as Ruby had drop kicked her to the ground

"Sorry Weiss." She apologized. "But it's for your own good."

It was a game of cat and mouse as Weiss had tried to attack Ruby, while Ruby had continued to dodge every strike.

"Come on, kid!" Crimson shouted in her head. "Think of a weapon quick and go to town on her!"

"Not yet!" She thought, waiting for the perfect moment. Once Weiss was starting to slow down and showed signs of sweating, Ruby had decide to taunt her by opening her arms wide almost saying 'come get me.'

Taking the bait, Weiss had went for an overhead swing with all her might.

'Now!' Ruby thought, thinking of a weapon forming in her hands. Crimson had tore a piece of itself onto her hands and marveled as Ruby had turned it into a giant scythe.

Not able to stop from the momentum, Weiss's blade had shattered on contact with the scythe. Taking the chance, Ruby had pointed the top end of the scythe at her opponent and marveled as fireworks were shot out, pelting her until she was on her knees.

"It's also a magic caster?" Crimson said in awe at what the scythe could do. "Now that's imagination! Where'd you get the idea from?"

"Anime." Ruby said, as she and Crimson shifted back into schoolgirl mode. "Can you eat the symbiote now?"

"I can try." Separating from her, Crimson had wrapped itself around Weiss's head and started moving around. For some reason, Ruby had to look away because of how it kept wrapping around the new girl too suggestively. After a few minutes, Weiss was back in her school uniform. "All done."

"So you got rid of it all?" She asked, still not staring at it.

"I ran into a bit of a problem." Seeing her stare at it for answers, Crimson explained. "So don't be mad, but there was a part of the symbiote that is stuck to her. It's a perfect match, and I can't separate the two."

"This won't be a problem fro us in the future, will it?" Ruby was not looking forward to fighter her again.

"It might, but that's for the future to decide." It waved off. "I'd suggest bringing her back to the stall and pretending this whole thing didn't happen. She won't remember a thing."


A few minutes later

After putting her back in the stall and waking her up, Ruby had asked Weiss an important question.

"Why can't we be friends?" She said, extending a hand out.

"…We can." She accepted the hand, shaking it slowly. "How long was I out for?"

"You sorta cried yourself to sleep in there." Ruby lied while putting on a sheepish grin. "I waited for a the whole chem. lab to give you some time."

"Thanks." She said, getting out of the stall. "I guess we won't be passing this chemistry experiment."

"You get used to it." Ruby laughed. "I've failed it tons of times, but somehow passed with an ok."

"…You dolt." Weiss laughed, walking out of the bathroom with her new friend. The two didn't notice her hair tie squirming before it had looked similar to a tiny crown.


Outside

"So that's what happened." A shadow said in a sultry tone as it witnessed the fight between the two girls. "Looks like the power I was looking for was misplaced. …Time to get it back."

Ruby didn't know it, but she had stepped into a new world where she was now in trouble. This was her first step into being a magical girl.

END


AN: So what do you guys think? Just like most of my stories, besides NoL:BV, this one won't heavily focus on romance. We get enough of those on the site. …You'd think that people would've had enough of all these silly love fics. I look around and I guess it isn't so. I guess some people wanna fill the site with love fics. Nothing wrong with that.

Anyways! (enough of Paul McCartney …for now)

Next time on Ruby-Chan:

"I'm just getting warmed up!"

"Not now!"

"Yikes! …You should really get that looked into."

"Look, a hooded vigilante has arrived."

"Crimson! I'm putting you on!"

"I feel like Batman!"

"Bad kitty!"
