A/N: Once again, I'll lay out the rules just to be safe. No profanity and no rudeness to each other. Major and minor OOC. One OC in the story for fun/just 'cause I can. I accept constructive criticism. Reviews are appreciated. PM me for questions related to story. PM is for story related questions only. Also, can we get some cover art? That would be really appreciated. I think that this can really go places. If anyone has cover art already, PM me a link.
Five years after the outbreak, I was stuck in the small apartment building commandeered for us hunters and our friends. I was sharing an apartment with Luminous. You know what that meant, right? Blake was with him. It was always "Stay safe," or, "We'll be back!" or some crap like that. I'm fine on my own. I'm not a kid anymore. I'm…I lost count. What was it? Twenty? Nineteen? Anyway, the day in question was a day like all the others. Boring as hell. That was when I decided that I had enough.
"Wait…The whole reason we got out of Vale in the first place was because we were hunters and huntresses. If that's so…Then why are we being 'kept safe' in these three foot deep concrete walls? We can surely take what's out there! I'm real mad now. I need to take this up with Oz."
If you don't know who Oz is, he was the Headmaster of Beacon Academy. The outbreak, plus his high status as a Hunter, had landed him the job of pretty much ruling over the quarantine zones. Instead of Professor Ozpin, now we called him Sir Ozpin.
I walked my way through the streets of Vacuo. A dusty, decrepit town full of high tension and low standards. The guards were s**tty and the people weren't any better. There were guards everywhere you looked, with a shady guy on every corner, both bartering for bullets to survive. Of course, the big-shot government building was the only thing that was kept clean and tidy.
I walked in through the double doors and told the "receptionist" that I was there to see Ozpin. He talked on his walkie-talkie for a couple minutes before droning on about the rules of seeing Oz.
"There will be no-"
"No talking unless talked to, no shouting unless shouted at and no fighting. I've been here before."
"Alright then. Have a nice day you thickheaded bi**h."
"Ms. Rose. I've been expecting you for quite some time. How've you been?"
"How've I been? How have I been?! I'll tell you how I've been! I've been holed up in this glorified animal pen wondering why we're cowering behind concrete when we could be out there helping people! People out there who are dying in this Godforsaken world with no way of defending themselves! I'm a Huntress! A soldier trained specifically for helping the helpless! I've been really f**king pissed, that's how I've been!"
"Well then. That was very…Colorful. Give me a minute. I need to consult Ms. Goodwitch."
I heard murmurs coming from out in the hall, where Ozpin was conversing with Glynda Goodwitch. His advisor and former headmaster's assistant.
"Well, Ms. Rose, after hearing your…Eloquent opinion, we've decided to let you and three people of your choosing to go 'help the helpless' as you put it."
"That's about as much time as we have for tonight, Red," said the guard observing the group.
"Aww, Story time's over already? And I was having so much fun too…Okay. Well, my work here is done. There's gonna be someone new to tell the rest of the story. I don't know if they'll tell the full story yet. Red, out."
A/N: So. Yeah…Red's going on an adventure. Did I give too much away as to whom the narrator was? If you didn't get it as soon as the color and nickname "Red" was mentioned, it was Ruby. If you're mainly reading this for Last of Us plot and haven't the faintest idea as to what I'm talking about, what are you doing here? Anyway, go to and watch RWBY. It's jaw-dropping to the point where my jaw dropped through the floor and went all the way to the other side of the world through the Earth. So…New narrator, Yay! Leave in the reviews who you think it is. I've written to chapter three, so I know. The Prologue, which was the first chapter to you guys, was chapter zero for me. Chapter three will show up as chapter four and so on from there. Sorry for the confusion! Pyg out.
