"Wake up...Wake up child...Wake up…There is so very much to learn and you still understand so little. So much to do, so little time...Take your time."

"Mmm… what's going on…" Ruby opened her eyes. She was shocked by her surroundings, she was falling, no sinking in what seems to be some type of body of water. "What the heck's going on? How can I talk or at the very least speak under water? How did I get here? Where am I going? Who was talking to me a second ago?"

Ruby was freaking out, until a flood of memories entered her mind. "MOM! YANG! BLAKE! WEISS!" she shouted their names out in hopes of one them responding, but reply came. Ruby allowed her tears of sorrow and frustration fall as she fell to the bottom of the ocean.

"There are many questions to answer, but so few answers available."

Ruby was freaked out because there was no one in the surrounding darkness. However, as she landed on the ocean floor, it erupted into pure white rose felt awe and shock as she realized she was standing on a stained glass pillar. The pillar was of Ruby wielding a blade that looked like a key. The blade had a similar resemblance to crescent rose and it had keychain attached at the end of Ruby's emblem. There was also pictures of Yang, Weiss, and Blake. On the edges of the circle were the emblems of all the people she knew in remnant. Underneath the picture of her friends, there was an image of the scenery of her mother's grave with the moon of remnant at a distance.

"This is called a station…" the mysterious voice told Ruby. She was going to ask the voice to reveal himself, but a set of stairs appeared. Though hesitant, she still went up the stairs, which led her to another station. As soon as she planted both feet on the platform, three pedestals rose from the ground . Each pedestal held a weapon. One carried a sword, another a shield, and the last one had a staff.

"So much to do, so little time...Take your time. Don't be afraid. The door is still shut. Now step forward and choose your weapon," the voice commanded Ruby.

Ruby was confused, but she went straight to the sword and the voice told her, "The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction."

Ruby slowly walked away from the sword and walked towards the staff. The voice returned to say, "The power of the mystic. Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin."

Ruby began to walk towards the shield and the voice responded, "The power of the guardian. Kindness to aid friends. A shield to repel all."

Ruby was unsure of which weapon to choose. She took a deep breath and shut her eyes. She took a moment to think about the pros and cons of each weapon. When she opened her eyes she knew in her heart which weapon to choose. She walked to the shield and the voice asked, "Is this the power you seek?"

"Yes!" She responded firmly. The voice then asked, "Your path is set. Now, what will you give up in exchange." Ruby decided to choose the staff.

"You've chosen the power of the guardian. You've given up the power of the mystic. Is this the form you choose?" the voice asked. Ruby nodded. She opened her mouth to ask the questions that have been plaguing her mind since she got there, but then suddenly a bright light appeared and the station changed to a different one. When the light faded away, a bright light appeared on Ruby's hand and a giant key appeared in her hand. She was extremely confused as to why she had a giant key.

"You have the power to fight. Use this power to protect yourself and others, for there will be times when you have to fight to protect the light in everyone's heart." Suddenly strange shadowy creatures appeared. They reminded Ruby of the Grimm from Remnant, except these creatures were completely black with bright yellow eyes. The shadowy creatures began to attack Ruby, but they were no match to the huntress-in-training who has been training to annihilate creatures of darkness for a majority of her life.

The young huntress-in-training was able to dispose of the creatures fairly quickly. Using her semblance, she was able to deliver a single devastating blow to each creature. When she was done the same light as before appeared again and a door appeared.

Out of curiosity, Ruby walked up to the door and the giant key rose up and a bright beam of light went to the keyhole. The door opened and Ruby walked through the door.

"The time has come. Hurry do what you must," themysteriousvoicetoldthewomanwhoappearedbeforehim.

"Of course sir," she replied, taking her leave to approach the red hooded girl.

When Ruby arrived to another station, she was beyond frustrated. She yelled, "What the hell is going on!? I can't take this anymore!" She had a tick mark on her forehead and blowing smoke through her nose.

Suddenly more shadow creatures appeared and she disposed of them quickly. She expected to be teleported to another station, however instead the mysterious voice began to talk to her again.

"The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes…"

Then her shadow grew larger and Ruby stared as a giant shadowy being slowly rose from her shadow. She was shocked because the dark being looked like her except completely made of shadows and with yellow eyes. With a newfound resolve, she stared deep into the being's eyes.

Ruby was determined to destroy this creature and get some answers. The creature was quick to attack. It slammed a hand to where Ruby was standing, but Ruby, using her semblance, was able to move out of the way. She ran headlong into the creature, ready to purge the creature from existence.

Due to its size, the shadow Ruby was slightly slow in its movement. It tried to slam its hand on Ruby again to crush her like a bug, but Ruby was able to react quickly and dodge. She jumped onto its arm and ran towards its face. Ruby slashed at its face, however the creature was reacted quickly and punched Ruby's body back. She went crashing to the floor, but she was able to land on her feet and was quick to attack again, thanks to her aura being used as a shield and taking much of the force.

"Don't be afraid," the mysterious voice said to her.

The shadow Ruby tried to crush Ruby using its feet, but Ruby continuously dodged each attack. While dodging, she slashed at its legs. The creature was beginning to become annoyed and decided to destroy Ruby once and for all. It charged up dark magic towards chest, but Ruby decided to take this opportunity to kill the dark being. She jumped on its arm again and jumped off the arm high into the sky and struck down with the key from its head to its feet. The creature attack was stopped momentarily. Ruby could see she was doing some damage, but not much. The shadow slammed its arm down again to try to crush Ruby. She tried dodging but tripped and the creature brought its face close to Ruby, staring deep into her silver eyes. Ruby stared deep into the creatures as well and began to freak out as shadows which appeared out of nowhere began to swallow her. She screamed and reached a hand out towards a light she saw, as she slowly closed her eyes.

"But don't be afraid...Ruby..."

Ruby opened her eyes immediately when she heard this voice. It wasn't the same mysterious voice as before, no this voice she recognized. Ruby looked around, but she saw nothing except complete darkness. To say Ruby was disappointed was an understatement. After a few moments of silence, she dismissed the voice as a part of her imagination.

She curled her body into a small ball and put her hood on to cover her head. Tears began to fall from her eyes, she was scared and frustrated. She didn't understand what was going on, one moment she was on a mission with her team. They were doing well until everything spiraled into chaos because of that woman. Ruby witnessed her comrades deaths and she was running for her life. Then she appeared in some foreign place and met her friends and mother. Then she ended up here. Things were occurring too fast for the young girl to comprehend.

"Don't be afraid...Don't lose hope...Stay strong... Have courage and faith…"

Ruby thought she was losing her mind so she tried using her hands to cover her ears, in hopes of blocking out the voice. However, a warm hand was placed on top of her head. The warmth from the hand spread throughout her entire body. It was very comforting, so Ruby decided to take a peek from her hood, to see if her mind was really playing tricks on her in order to help her cope with her strange situation.

She quickly rose her head, but had to cover her eyes with her arm from the bright light that shined before her. The hand that was on top of her head, moved underneath her chin to raise her head.

"Open your eyes my dear."

Ruby did as she was told. She opened her eyes again, but the bright light didn't hurt her eyes this time. There standing in front of her with a warm smile was Ruby's mother. Tears began to fall again, but they were tears of joy.

"Don't cry my child."

Ruby began to laugh like a maniac as her tears began to fall harder. I truly lost my mind. I'm seeing my dead mother for the second time today. Summer stared at her daughter and then she slapped Ruby roughly.

"You have not lost your mind."

Ruby covered her cheek, where a bright red handprint was present. She lifted her head to stare deep into her mother's eyes and was shocked to see her mother crying.

"I'm sorry...I shouldn't have…It's my fault..." Summer murmured as she kneeled next to her daughter and wrapped her arms around her child. Ruby was unresponsive to her mother's embrace. She just knelt there as tears flowed from her eyes.

"Mom...I don't understand...WHAT'S GOING ON!? PLEASE...please tell me." Ruby cried. Summer sighed. She knew what she had to do, even though it would hurt her more than it would hurt Ruby. Summer placed her hand upon Ruby's forehead. Summer began to say some type of incantation in another language.

Ruby felt warmth come from the hand as it began shine very brightly. The warmth soon began to burn hotter, and it was very painful. Ruby was crying and thrashing around to avoid her mother's touch, but her mother held her firmly in place and continued her ritual.

As soon as Summer was done, she caught her daughter as she fell limp. Ruby's eyes were dilated and she looked completely dead. Ruby's body began to shine brightly and she slowly disappeared in white rose petals. More tears fell from Summer's eyes.

"I'm sorry but I had to do what must be done. You are needed elsewhere. You don't truly understand how special you are my child, but in due time you will. You hold the greatest power and weapon of all."

"Did you complete your task?" the mysterious voice asked.

"Yes...I did sir." Summer said

"I know it was hard for you to do, but it had to be done."

"I know...and I'm glad it was me who erased her memories…So what do we do now"

"We wait."
