A/N: this is a fic that is an AU where Ruby and Yang are rivals.

Also, it's been a month so I'm uploading a new fanfic and will do so till at least April.

Disclaimer I don't own RWBY or rooster teeth.

POV: Ruby Rose

I was having a normal day hanging out in my favourite dust shop that I got all my dust from. I had Crescent Rose my scythe on my back below my cape. After I got a little late I put on my headphones and listened to one of my favourite songs, this will be the day, when some weird men approach and start taking dust. One of them comes up to me and threatens me. I can tell still wearing my headphones due to the sword he's brandishing. He roughly grabs my shoulder

I take my headphones off and feign ignorance

"Yes"

I said put your hands in the air." Well at least I know my bid to hide Crescent Rose is working.

"Are you robbing me?"

"Yes." the man replies

"Oh" I say before kicking him out of the window.

Another man has me in a corner and a gun pointed at me but I quickly deal with him. I see some more men which I had thought about, he wouldn't try a robbery with only one partner and approach an avoidable witness. I head outside to where I'll have the advantage. I can't resist doing a fancy move with my scythe.

As predicted they all come outside to try and deal with me.

I deal with the first man by bashing him with my scythe then using my scythe as a jumping platform before kicking him unconscious. The second man was easy; I use a cartridge to get momentum and fling him in the air far away. The third man was no fun, I just hit him with the scythe and he was unconscious. The fourth man tried to be a sniper which is a bad idea as my semblance is speed. I flashed around him for a bit before ramming into him to knock him out. The last man tied an Aerial assault which didn't work. I jumped and flung him back to the guy who I assumed was the boss as a nice little gift. He starts blabbing at me and I kind of turn off. Then he points his gun at me and tries to explode me but I realise what he's planning and jump up away from the explosion. I land and look around for the hat guy I can't find him near the shop so I look around and see him heading up to the roof. He's just scaled up to the roof when I arrive there

I yell "hey." It's not exactly my best phrase and I cringe immediately afterwards.

He mutters something, I think it's "persistent." Then the jet arrives. He jumps on telling me that he was expecting it to arrive.

He yells "end of the line red" as he throws a red dust crystal and just stand there as he shoots it. Luckily someone arrives and I see they are a huntress. She attacks the jet with purple lines. I stare in awe as she summons a storm cloud and then made out rain icicles! A woman wearing red approaches the open door of the ship and starts firing fire from her hand. The huntress shields and dodges before turning the remnant of fire girl's attack into ammo to attack the ship with. Fire girl tries to attack it but fails and then it goes over the plane causing hat guy to have to change direction. Fire girl tries attacking again and succeeds this time. I try to snipe fire girl to knock her out but she easily dodges before hearing the ground. We move just before the ground we were on bursts into flames. When we look up the door is closing with fire girl on the other side and very soon after hat guy takes off with her.

Although i try to be professional it's no use I still end up saying

"You're a huntress. Can I have your autograph?"

She grabs me by the wrist and she drags me into a jet and then she takes me to a dark room. I think it's used for interrogations.

She started talking about how my actions would not be taken lightly. She said that "I put myself and others in great danger."

I told her that "they started it." Which is true because they tried to rob me. She said that if she got to decide things i would be sent home praised and punished. She struck the table with her stick and I automatically flinched. But she said "there is someone who wants to meet me"

I sit in shock as Ozpin headmaster of beacon approaches

He says "Ruby Rose, you have silver eyes." Which is a phrase I would usually find odd but I'm currently too excited about him knowing my name.

Ozpin consults the footage of me dealing with the goons and asks "so where did you learn to do this?"

I return nervously "Signal Academy."

To which I get the response I suspected which is "they taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?"

I tell them that it was "One teacher in particular. "Said teacher happens to be my uncle Qrow.

Ozpin offers me cookies and i realise that I'm hungry so I slowly take one cookie and know that I'm allowed them.

After that I am very fast to eat the remaining cookies.

Ozpin mentions that he's only ever seen one other scythe wielder of that skill before. "A dusty old Qrow." I respond with that's my uncle Qrow however I have some cookie left in my mouth so I swallow the cookie say "sorry" and repeat "that's my uncle Qrow."

I give my signal story which is in short: was really bad, Qrow took me under his wing, now really good.

Ozpin simply states "so I've noticed."

Ozpin asks "and what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?"

In response to his statement I go into a long speech that basically says I want to be a huntress to help people and I want to go to beacon.

Ozpin asks "do you know who I am?"

I do and so I reply "you're professor Ozpin, Headmaster at Beacon."

We do greetings then he asks "so you want to come to my school?"

More than anything" I earnestly reply.

He looks at the huntress woman. She sighs.

He says "well ok"

"Really!" I reply flabbergasted.

"Yes but only on these conditions. 1) you will not try and get in a team with your sister. 2) There are 10 days left before term starts. In order to prepared for Beacon, you must spend 4 hours a day training with your uncle. Do you agree to these terms?"

"Yes" I respond still in shock that I'm getting into Beacon 2 years early.

"Good your father is here to pick you up." Ozpin informs me.

I walk out to the car my father has waiting. Who was it this time. I gulp then say "Ozpin."

"Ruby, your chances of going to beacon just dropped dramatically." My dad says

"But he said I could go." I replied quietly

"Ruby, this is great. You have a place reserved at beacon." He states elated

"No, it's not that." I tell him.

"Then what is it!" He says starting to get annoyed

"He says I can go now if I train for 4 hours for the rest of the holiday and don't try and team up with Yang."

"Well you're not going!"

"Dad!" I start to complain.

"You're not going and that's final."

"Please dad." I plead

"No." He says.

I know there's no way to change his mind so that means I have to take matters into my own hands.

So, I go home and I wait for it to turn to night then I use my semblance to run to uncle Qrow's house. I walk in through the front door. No one would dare to steal from uncle Qrow. I head upstairs and crash on the bed and sleep.

When I wake it's 10am and Qrow is sitting by my bedside.

"Why you here kiddo?" He asks

"To get into Beacon now." I tell him

"Woah hold up a second, how?" He asks

"Ozpin offered to let me go on these conditions. I train for 4 hours with you and don't try and team up with my sister." I tell him

"And let me guess your dad got all Tai and mighty and wouldn't let you go." Qrow says

"Yea." I reply

"So you came here so you could go to beacon even though your Dad forbade you?"

"Pretty much." I say worried he'll tell dad.

"Come on kiddo if we're gonna get 4 hours in we better start now." He tells me

"Thank you uncle Qrow!" I yell.

He responds with "you've worked hard to try and be ready to go to beacon. If you're offered something good, you don't just turn it down."

"Can you keep it secret that I'm here from everyone?" I ask him.

"Yea but why?" He asks validly.

"Dad will freak and you know Yang she might accidentally tell dad."

"K, I see what you're saying kiddo." Qrow confides "I won't tell anyone."

Over the next 10 days Qrow put me through a vigorous training regime. It went like this.

0:00: Sniper practice

0:30: Sniper practice without scope

1:00: scythe practice

2:00: hand to hand combat.

3:00: core bulging exercises

3:30 cardio exercises.

4:00 finish.

But I managed it due to how much I wanted to enter beacon.

On the final day, as soon as I had finished my training Qrow told me "we're going to see my dad."

"What if he stops me." I start to worry.

"Kiddo, how's he gonna do that if you've already fulfilled Ozpin's requirements?"

After Qrow's explaining I follow him to my house feeling much better.

I arrive back at home and my dad exclaims

"Ruby, we were worried about you!"

"I know and I'm sorry Dad."

"For running off, at least you didn't get killed by Grimm or fulfil Ozpin's conditions."

"I think I can keep her from dying" Qrow butts in.

"But you told us you don't know where she was!" Dad exclaims shocked

"Only after she told me to" Uncle Qrow responds.

"Why did you try to keep her from going to

beacon? It's been her dream since she was a child and now you just shun this opportunity that you get, to send her two years early!" Qrow rants.

"But she wasn't ready." Tai starts

Qrow interrupts "we both know she was ready. You just couldn't bear to let go of her, could you?" He yells.

I'm shocked. I can tell from dad's expression that Qrow is right.

I run up to my room without a second glance. I lie on the bed with my face pressed against the pillow and start to cry.

Just then Yang enters the room. She starts yelling at me immediately.

"What did you think you're doing. You went against what dad wanted!" She screams

"What about what I wanted." I yell back "Did you think of that Yang?"

"You still shouldn't have betrayed dad's trust!"

I was offered a good opportunity so why does everyone want me not to take it!"

"Because we care about you Ruby!" She practically screams at me.

"If you care about me you'll let me go to beacon" I yell

Yang became very angry very quickly and exploded with rage. And I mean that literally-not a metaphor she exploded. She was going to knock me out but Uncle Qrow got in the way and saved me.

"Ruby." Yang cries out her hand on my shoulder

"Don't touch me" I say. I pick up uncle Qrow and run to the other side of patch until I reach his house. I get inside and lay him on the bed. Now it was my turn to wait for him to wake up.

"Kid what are you doing still here?" he says when he wakes up.

"Um...where am I supposed to be?"

"The airship for beacon, it leaves. In an hour!" Qrow lectures.

I quickly pack all of my stuff and set off for the airship with 3 minutes before it arrives.

I arrive at the airship stop a minute before the airship does and I find Yang there.

"I'm not talking to you for a week after you exploded on my uncle and nearly explode on me!"

"Ruby." Yang starts

"If you are willing to apologise after a week then I will forgive you but I will never view your he same way again."

Just then the airship arrives and I board it followed by Yang. I sit in silence and take out my book, the man with two souls.

I read it before being approached by a girl wearing white who told me

"You should be doing more efficient activities like practicing with your blade and learning your Grimm!"

I ignore her and eventually she goes away to pester someone else on their work ethic.

We arrive at beacon and I get of the airship ready to start attending this school.
