Review and all that stuff!

Chapter 3

Ruby woke up early and began getting ready for the initiation. After Ruby got her stuff together, Yang walked into the locker room. Ruby didn't say anything to her, but Yang knew what Ruby was thinking. Play the human and trick the heiress. Ruby was going to make the heiress learn a lesson about making assumptions the most painful way possible considering Ruby's weapon arsenal.

The announcement went out stating that all students must head to Beacon cliffs. Ruby looked at the people there.

There's the white haired fox Faunus, Weiss Schnee. Next to me, the motion sick badger Faunus that I saw stumbling out of the airship yesterday, I believe his name is Jaune. Here comes the lion Faunus Yang. The four people I noticed coming off the airship. From listening to them talk to each other, I believe the dragon Faunus is named Daemon, the salamander Faunus is named Natalie, the leviathan Faunus is Alex, and the crocodile Faunus is Devin.

There's the girl I met yesterday, the bow makes it obvious that she's a cat Faunus, but people seem really oblivious to that. The girl with the red hair, I think her name is Pyrrha, she seems to be a tiger Faunus. Those two over there seem to know each other. The one with orange hair is a grizzly bear Faunus, I think I heard the guy call her Nora. The guy next to her is surprisingly a raven Faunus. The rest of the people here are all human though… that's boring… wait there's a rabbit Faunus, I don't know her name though… Ruby thought contemplating on the people that would make decent partners for the next four years she has at Beacon.

Ozpin gave them a little speech, before having the students getting into a ready position. He looked at Ruby and noticed something about her eyes. Her eyes were hiding something, that something was dark and sinister. It was like she was trying to hide a killing intent with the innocence that was displayed out in the open.

Ozpin wasn't sure if he made the right decision about letting her attend or not. It remained to be seen whether or not Ruby would control herself and not kill anyone. Soon, the students were all launched into the Emerald forest.

Ruby used her hand scythes to get her safely to the ground. Once she regained her senses from the fall, she began using her semblance to search the entire area. Surprisingly, she didn't see anyone. Ruby didn't expect to run into anyone, which was until she ran into the girl with the bow.

Ruby rolled away from her feeling like she was stuck on a carnival ride that spun you around in a circle at a fast speed and she had eaten minutes before she got on the ride. The girl got up and tried to make sure Ruby was okay. Ruby opened her eyes and looked into amber eyes. Ruby got up quickly and laughed a bit. The laughing confused her new partner.

"Sorry about running into you there. Though, I guess this means we're now partners." Ruby said after she stopped laughing.

"I guess so, though I don't know your name. My name is Blake by the way." The girl stated.

"Oh right, my name is Ruby. Now I just have to wait to see if the heiress was serious about getting back at me for yesterday." Ruby looked around and Blake looked confused.

"Why would she get back at you?" Blake asked.

"Because she thinks I'm human. I took it as a challenge anyway." Ruby blatantly stated. Blake just went with it. Eventually, there was a large blast of ice that shot towards Ruby, who easily dodged the attack. Weiss came out of the forest and was looking pretty pissed off. Ruby stopped moving and looked at Weiss.

Weiss decided to use fire on Ruby now. With a quick and fluid movement, Weiss sent a blast of fire towards Ruby. The blast of fire hit a tree and set it on fire. Ruby then appeared right behind Weiss and sent her flying towards a tree right by Blake. Ruby stood there with a large grin on her face. Her wolf ears out in the open, her tail swinging side to side.

Weiss got up and noticed that Ruby had wolf ears and a tail. It finally hit her after this long since their first encounter with each other. Ruby was a Faunus. Not just any Faunus though. She was the most powerful, strong, and destructive kind of Faunus, a wolf kind. Weiss was having enough of a hard time trying to stay standing already. To be in the presence of a Wolf Faunus was a high honour. But Ruby's aura told her something else. Ruby's aura was dark and sinister. It had no emotion other than a crazed madness that would drive any human crazy if they stood in Ruby's presence.

Ruby noticed Weiss' demeanour had changed, much to Ruby's disappointment. Weiss quickly got up and started to run away from Ruby. Blake was just standing there completely confused at the current situation. Ruby had scared Weiss Schnee just by giving her a crazy looking grin. Her aura seemed to change briefly. Ruby even lost the grin shortly before Weiss ran away. Blake shrugged it off as if it was just a brief occurrence.

Ruby and Blake began their approach to the forest temple. They heard a lot of gun fire on the way there. They reached the forest temple shortly after an encounter with a large Ursa Major. They met up with Yang and her partner, Weiss. Then Ren and his partner, Nora. Finally, Jaune and his partner, Pyrrha. They all grabbed their own relic pieces, but shortly after a giant Nevermore and a Deathstalker showed up. Ruby and Jaune split the group in half to take on the two massive Grimm that appeared. Ruby and Blake with Yang and Weiss against the Nevermore. Jaune and Pyrrha with Ren and Nora against the Deathstalker.

Jaune and his group were having a rough time dealing with the Deathstalker, but they took it down after a long while. Ruby's group didn't have that hard of a time but they still took longer than Jaune's group. Ruby jumped up to the Nevermore and landed on its back. She took her two scythes and began to hack into its neck. Eventually, she managed to decapitate the oversized bird and land safely on the cliff. Everyone was startled by Ruby's sudden change in expression. She was laughing hysterically. She was laughing at the Nevermore she killed. She found it funny. This unnerved everyone present. Ruby found death the most amusing thing in the world.

The eight of them were waiting for their names to be called for creating their teams during the initiation. Team RWBY and Team JNPR were officially created. They stood proud yet scared. Ruby would be the most terrifying person they had ever met so far, and three of them have met some pretty terrifying people in their lives.

Everyone went to their dorms to for the night, all but Ruby. Ruby walked away from the dorms and pulled out her scroll. She noticed that she had a missed call. It was Junior. Ruby decided to call him back just in case it might be serious.

"Hello, Hei speaking."

"Hey Junior. It's the Grim Reaper!"

"Ruby?! Oh thank god you called back!"

"Is something wrong?"

"Yes, something's wrong! Some people broke into my bar and tore the place apart looking for you! They seemed to be from the White Fang. Did you piss them off while you were on your way to meet that client at Beacon?"

"No Junior. I didn't mess with the White Fang. I wouldn't have called back if I did. I would be way to busy trying to get away from them to call you back."

"I guess that's true… though, you just received a new job request if you're interested."

"What kind of job request?"

"This one is kind of hard to explain. The client just asked if you were available for a job, I told them that you were currently on a job at the moment and said I would call them after you had completed your job. They didn't even give me time to get the job info. They left and said they would come looking for you. Next thing I know, they come back and tear the place apart looking for you! You better fix this!"

"Junior, calm down. I'll take care of it. Besides, I can still take jobs, I just can't take jobs that involve killing a student at Beacon. I'll come by The Club and get the issue sorted out, alright?"

"Ruby, wait t-" before Junior could finish his sentence, Ruby hung up on him. So nice isn't she? Ruby walked to the city of Vale to see what the problem is. Wearing her mask and cloak, she walked towards The Club.

There was a group of people that worked there standing in front of The Club. When they saw Ruby walking towards them, they ran towards her.

"Reaper! Junior told us to stop you from going inside at the moment."

"Why? I just talked to him not to long ago. Why doesn't he want me inside?"

"He said you'll get angry if you enter The Club. He doesn't want you trying to kill the next client…"

"You do realise that I have a curfew now since I'm now attending Beacon, right?"

"You care about curfew?" Ruby laughed at the response she got from them.

"Of course I don't. Just tell Junior I'm out here waiting to be let in." one of the men nodded and rushed inside.

Junior was sitting behind the bar with a woman in front of him. He didn't know them and couldn't risk trying to call Ruby again since that was a bad move from the start. He saw one of his men from outside rushing in. He ran towards Junior and told him something. The man stood waiting for his orders. Junior smiled.

"She's here. You have two choices, either have her coming in here and seeing the place like this and talking to her while she wants to rip out your throat, or you going outside to meet her. The choice is completely up to you." Junior stated. He was hoping the woman would choose the second option.

"Junior, I would prefer to talk to her in here if you wouldn't mind. I don't care how angry she'll get from seeing what I did to the place, it won't be as bad as the last time you're place was destroyed." The woman stated. Junior groaned. He turned and nodded to the man to let Ruby inside.

Ruby was waiting and irritated. She didn't like to wait, it irritated her to no end to wait for someone to let her inside. When she was told she was allowed inside, she was met with an unexpected sight. The Club was trashed again. Though, at least the damages are easier to repair this time.

"JUNIOR!" Ruby yelled as she ran towards the bar. She sounded annoyed. Junior still flinched hearing her yell. She stopped right in front of the bar and slammed her hands down on the counter causing the surface to crack from the impact.

"Hey Reaper, glad you could make it to the meeting."

"Don't 'hey' me, Junior. You know how I feel about waiting to be let inside to talk to a client. I think the damages are just as easy to fix as letting me inside!" Ruby was growling at him. She didn't notice the woman that sat at the bar. The woman looked at the scene unfold with some amusement.

"Reaper, relax, okay? I was just talking to the client and wanted to know if she wanted to talk to you in here or outside, I didn't exactly expect you to be here this quickly, especially since you hung up on me before I could finish telling you what I wanted to on the phone." Junior stated.

"Fine what was it that you wanted to tell me?"

"He wanted to tell you that I'm not an ordinary client that you'll hopefully have." Ruby looked at the woman beside her and immediately straightened herself out, Junior smiled and rolled his eyes seeing her do that. Ruby sat herself on a chair next to the woman, placed an elbow on the counter, and rested her head in her hand looking at the woman that sat there.

"Ordinary? I would say you're far from ordinary, in a good way of course." The woman chuckled a bit at that. This woman in front of me is so beautiful. I wish I could just know her a little better than client/contractor sort of thing. Ruby thought.

"My name is Cinder Fall. I would like you to do something for Me." the woman said. Ruby raised an eyebrow at the way she said it.

"What do you need a Grim Reaper for then? You seem a little nicer than the clients I normally get." Ruby replied. The Grim Reaper seems really young. I expected her to be a lot older than this. I wonder how good she actually is though. The stories about her make her seem like a heartless monster that shows no mercy to the ones she kills yet, she sounds like a happy go lucky school girl. I need a test to see how good she is before I make a decision on recruiting her into my plans. Cinder thought.

"First, I need you to take care of something for me."

"What do you need?"

"There's a group of bandits that are starting to get in the way of my work. I would send someone that is already working for me, but they couldn't be able to since they could never find the bandit camp. I know they're there, but none of us could find them even once. If you could track them down and take care of them that would be perfect." Cinder stated. Junior caught on to what Cinder was doing and he knew Ruby definitely did. The mask hid Ruby's expression but he knew she was smiling like a mad man hearing a job that involved a lot of death.

"I would be more than happy to take care of those pesky bandits for you." Ruby replied.

"Do you mind if I watch you on your job?" Cinder asked. Ruby giggled a little bit and looked at Cinder.

"Of course you can! I don't know where the place is so you're going to have to show me where you've seen them the most." Cinder was surprised that the Grim Reaper was this intelligent.

"You don't mind if it's taken care of tonight do you?" Ruby asked.

"Of course not. The Bullhead is meeting us here soon." Cinder replied. The two got up and forgot about Junior. Ruby led the way mostly until they got outside. The Bullhead was there like Cinder said. Once Ruby and Cinder were in the Bullhead, it started to take off. Ruby was silent during the initial take off until Cinder started talking to her.

"So, why do they call you the Grim Reaper?"

"I wear a cloak with the hood up and I use a giant scythe for most of the clients I get. The scythe became a signature at some point I guess." Ruby answered without a care in the world. Cinder moved on to her next question.

"What's your real name?" Cinder asked hoping to get a reply.

"You think I'll tell you my real name? I'll only tell you if you ever see my face. That's how it works." Ruby stated. She really is bright. Cinder thought.

"Is that why you wear a mask?"

"No… the mask prevents people from trying to go after me. Only a select few know what is behind this mask and know about me being the Grim Reaper. Besides, if word ever got out about who I was, I would have to kill those that know my face and the ones they had told."

"That's a serious way to deal with them. I would think Junior is part of that group."

"Of course not, I came to him 5 years ago for shelter. He would probably be the only one I wouldn't include in the list of people who know who I am."

"You feel like you owe him?"

"It was thanks to him that I could hide from those who would come after me. I was able to start a legitimate business like this thanks to him. I used to kill those I thought deserve it before that."

"5 years ago? Are you saying that the Grim Reaper from 5 years ago, the one that went against Shark, the one that was said to be dead from her extensive injuries, was you all along?"

"That basically sums it up, yes."

"How did you survive?" Ruby laughed at her for the question like it was a joke. Cinder gave her a confused look. How is what I asked funny in anyway? Cinder thought.

"I survived because my aura is a lot more enormous then what you would normally see someone having. Basically, I control enough aura to heal up any and all wounds instantly, be it a flesh wound to a severe wound. It would heal up immediately." The Bullhead stopped moving and opened up. The wind was blowing harsh winter air and Ruby soon realised why they couldn't see the bandits.

"So, this is where you last saw the bandits?" Ruby yelled to Cinder. She couldn't tell if Cinder heard her or not but a response soon came.

"Yeah, though this is the first time I've noticed the wind this harsh when I searched for them."

"Cinder, you need to be as focused as when you first started looking for them. I think you'll notice a difference then." Cinder followed Ruby's words and felt the wind slow down but still felt the cold from it.

"Why does it feel like the wind is slowing down?"

"It's a type of Dust trap. This one is to prevent those who aren't interested in looking for the bandits to get lost and end up either killed or somewhere else and with people that could help them through it."

"How do we break it?"

"You can't, but I can. It's actually easy to break this. For some, it's extremely hard though." Ruby lifted up her hand and form a fist. Black rose petals started to float around her fist, then she slammed her fist into the ground causing the wind to immediately stop dead around her and Cinder. Ruby got up and continued walking with Cinder close behind. She is even knowledgeable about the things you can do with Dust and the traps you can set with them. She has to be good in a fight I guess. Cinder thought while following the girl before her.

Eventually, they came across the bandit camp. They seemed to be very confused about why the wind stopped suddenly. Ruby walked up to them but Cinder stood behind to see what the Grim Reaper would do.

"Hey boys, you think this one was the one that stopped our little trap?" one man said.

"Don't know Sliver. But she seems rather cute if you ask Me." another one said.

"Quiet Frank! Until you have a nickname, your opinion doesn't matter!" someone else said.

"I do have a nickname Jackal! My nickname is Gator!" the man replied angrily.

"Gator, huh. I like it, fine now your opinion matters." Jackal replied. Gator seemed to smile since he felt like one of the boys. A very muscular man came out. He had an eye patch on his right eye and his head was wrapped in bandages leaving only one of his eyes open for all to see. Ruby glared at the large man. Something about him seemed familiar to Ruby. The muscular man cackled at the site of Ruby.

"Well, I don't believe my eye. It seems my past has come back to haunt me everyone." That voice… it can't be… his head should have exploded on impact when I shot him. Ruby thought.

"Shark… aren't you supposed to be dead?" Ruby stated. This shocked everyone except Shark.

"I could ask you the same thing, Reaper, but don't you go by a different name? They called you something back at that factory I used to deal with 5 years ago, you know, before you did this to me?" Shark pointed at his eye patch.

"Oh, I remember alright, you better not fucking say it. We both know what happened when you said it." Ruby growled at him.

"Oh, I know. Though, only one of my men ran away that day after I said it. He ran right after I had cut your eye. How is your eye by the way? I would think it would still hurt when you fought with it open. I did cut it in half while it was in your skull." Shark had a somewhat smug look on him. Ruby started to laugh at this. Shark looked at her as if she was crazy, he knew that she was but this was just a strange sight.

"This is just perfect, I'm guessing the one who ran away was the weasel Faunus. Roman right? Ha! I let him run away! He only saw my cloak come off from the back and noticed the symbol I had. He didn't want to mess with me. You think you and your lackeys are going to be able to handle me? Yeah right. I've gotten a lot stronger since last time, though from the looks of it, so did you. But who is stronger?" Ruby was starting to sound like a demonic creature by the end of her little rant.

Shark sent the four men he had to go after her first. Ruby knew their nicknames, though the one called Gator didn't have a nickname when she first encountered him. The one who just entered with Shark was probably Jaguar. Their nicknames never made sense to her so she didn't actually care about them.

Sliver took out his sword and shield, Gator took out a double bladed sword, Jaguar took out his blade whip, and Jackal took out his scimitar. Ruby seemed completely surrounded. She took out her twin scythes. Shark took out a giant great sword that looked jagged on one side.

"Come on, Red. Show me that giant scythe of yours. I have been waiting for the day when you would come find me. Everyone thought I was dead, they even thought you were dead after they thought you killed me! I knew you were alive, I could feel your breathe as the years went by." Shark stated. Out of nowhere, he pulled out a gun and shot Ruby's face. Sliver and Jackal pounced on her and let Gator and Jaguar remove her cloak. They took away her mask and cloak, bringing them to Shark. Ruby was covering her face. Cinder was shocked at how long Reaper was going to let them do this. Cinder then thought of a single reason why Reaper would do this. A simple bait to draw them in and then attacking when they least expect it. A clever plan if that's what she's planning to do. Cinder thought.

"There you are, your face now out in the open. But why hide it within your hands? Gator! Sliver! Force her to show her face!" Shark ordered. Gator and Sliver charged at her again. This time, Ruby smiled and removed her hands revealing her eyes. The two stopped in their tracks and looked terrified. Shark didn't care but it didn't matter, she showed him her face.

"So, your eye is all healed up then? That's interesting. I thought you wouldn't be able to use your right eye anymore." Shark chuckled. Ruby just laughed at him. When she abruptly stops laughing, they all got a chill through their spines. She changed her stance and charged to Gator and Sliver. She jumps over them and lands behind them.

They stood there still trying to regain their senses and snap back to reality. Ruby spun and slashed Sliver in half at the waist. Ruby then brought the other scythe down and cut Gator in half from the top of the head down to between his legs. Ruby looked at Shark and gave him a devilish grin baring her fangs at him.

"Come on Shark-y, you can do better than that!" Ruby giggled at him. Was she taking pleasure in the lives she took? Shit, she's heartless when she fights then… I guess she is perfect for becoming an ally. Cinder thought as she watched Ruby take out the two formally known as Sliver and Gator.

"You little bitch! Jaguar! Jackal! Kill her!" Shark ordered. The two snapped back to reality and then charged to Ruby. She smiled. Jaguar took a swing to Ruby's gut, but somehow, the blade went through her. Ruby jumped back and slashed Jaguar's hand clean off. She then decapitated him before charging towards Jackal. Jackal couldn't react in time and was cut into pieces. The way Ruby fought was merciless and was close to how a Beowolf would fight. It was always to the death.

"Shark, you're very disappointing. Your men are as weak as ever, I can't believe I let the initial shock of losing my cloak and my mask that day get the better of me. Should have just killed you then and there." Ruby took another fighting stance. Shark started to remove the bandages from around his face. He had a large bone plate that covered most of his face. Ruby smiled even more. He removed his eye patch revealing a bright red eye.

"This is what you did to me, Rose! Your blood turned me into this! I'm a monster thanks to you! Now I'll make you pay for it. Come and get me, Ruby Grim Reaper Rose!" His voice was demonic slightly but Ruby noticed he had said her name. That pissed her off to no end. Her demeanour changed instantly to that of a beast.

"I told you not to say my name!" Ruby growled at him.

"Like I care! Kill me, and you'll never find out who your sister is, or your mother! You'll just keep aimlessly looking for them to no end!" Ruby laughed demonically.

"I know who my mother is you idiot. But my real sister, I have too many leads to get through that I don't need someone like you telling me something that I already know!" Ruby snarled back.

"I guess I'll tell you something that you don't then. You should ask Roman Torchwick or Cinder Fall about a girl named Neopolitan. That's the one you're looking for!" Shark said this and lost track of where Ruby was standing. Ruby had taken out her giant scythe and was now holding it under his chin and against his neck.

"You talk way too much. Just die already." Ruby ripped the scythe up towards the sky and decapitated Shark instantly. This was the first time Ruby had felt disgusted with something she had killed. This man didn't deserved the death he got. Someone had to put him down eventually though. Ruby put her scythe away and picked up her mask and her cloak. She put them back on. Cinder saw her face and now knows her name. This was just a terrible job that had to end with her dealing with someone from 5 years ago and had shown her real face to a client along with them knowing her name with it.

"So, you know more about me better than before, right?"
