*Melody and Jenkins are sitting around playing Gears of War: Ultimate Edition co-op. Melody is Marcus, while Jenkins is Dom.*
Melody: Well, I guess maybe the captain will go through with uploading RWBY: General's Remnant weekly.
Jenkins: Yep. Cause Willow's trailer felt short, even to the captain.
Melody: Still, I hope that if people don't like what the captain's doing with RAAM, I hope that they'll read for the other characters/
Jenkins: Agreed.
Pyrrha passed the book to Ren, but before he began to read, Tronmaster received a note.
"Wait, before you start reading Ren, I have something to share with you guys." Tronmaster said.
"What is it?" Ruby asked.
"Well, here ya go." Tronmaster said, passing the note to Ruby.
"Holy jeez! Those are some crazy stats!" Ruby said, amazed.
"Huh, neat." Weiss said, equally surprised.
"Ren, can you begin reading now?" Alicia asked, getting a nod from Ren.
[Ruby P.O.V.]
'You sure seem to come here a lot lately' Alexander said in my head as I muted the music in my headphones to listen to him.
"Huh, I wonder where we are." Alexander said, perplexed.
"Don't know, I guess we'll find out." Penny said, Alexander nodding his head in agreement.
Right now I stood in the back of the Dust shop 'From Dust till Dawn' trying to read one of the newest issues of Weapon's Monthly, which according to Alexander was around during the time of the SeeD's. Talk about going strong.
"Tell me about it." Blake said.
"Talk about one helluva legacy." Qrow said.
I say trying because reading isn't so easy when you've got a giant machine talking in your head.
"I hear voices in my head, they talk to me, they understand!" Alicia sang with a laugh.
"God babe, you're a dork." Tronmaster said with a laugh.
"But you love me anyway." Alicia said, Tronmaster said, kissing her in agreement.
'Come on...' I whined back to the Guardian Force, 'You told me this magazine was really useful. Plus it's a really good magazine.'
"Is it?" Ruby asked.
"Probably. I've never read it myself." Alicia replied.
'So why haven't you simply subscribed to get the issues by mail monthly?' Alexander asked.
"Sounds like something Ruby would do." Yang said.
"Agreed." Penny said.
I blinked as my mind blanked, "Good point..." I muttered, "I think they have a scroll number or a mailing address on the back cover of this." with that I flipped to the back cover and indeed found a scroll number and mailing address.
"Talk about convenience." Winter said.
'You think Mom would let me subscribe?' I asked.
"I would." Summer said, Ruby smiling at her mother.
'She should, I mean she like weapons almost as much as you do.' Alexander said, 'Also there's an idiot right behind you that plans to rob you.'
"Oh, now I remember what's going on!" Ruby said with glee.
"Care to explain?" Winter asked, looking at Glynda.
"This was, the night that Ruby was accepted into Beacon." Glynda replied.
"Hand's in the air." Said a vice behind me.
I turned around and looked at a man that looked like a stereotypical mobster who had me at sword point.
"Wait, are those Junior's thugs?" Yang asked, getting a nod of conformation from Tronmaster and Alicia.
"Who's Junior?" Winter asked.
"He's an information broker who owns a club in Vale. Aunt Yang went there trying to find information about Raven." Alicia replied.
"Are you robbing me?" I asked, playing the oblivious girl.
"Wow Ruby, I had no idea you could be so coy." Weiss said.
"I learned from the best." Ruby said, smiling at her partner.
Weiss only proceeded to blush.
"Yes." The man said.
"Wow, this dude's a dumbass." Yang said.
"Yang, watch your language young lady." Summer scolded.
'How are you going to take him out?' Alexander asked.
"Probably with a well placed shot from Crescent Rose-" Weiss started before the story interrupted her.
Instead of responding I quickly spin kicked the guy, knocking him toward the window and into the wall below the window.
"Or, that. That works too." Weiss said, later thinking 'I actually never realized how good Ruby's legs are- GAH! No! Bad Weiss! Bad, bad, naughty Weiss!'
'Effective enough I suppose.' Alexander said
"Yep." Yang said.
Another guy ran out from another corner shouting freeze, I just flat out drop kicked him out the window and once I was outside I unfolded Crescent Rose and rested her on my shoulder, then turned to face my attempted mugger's and planted Crescent Rose's blade tip into the street.
Weiss looked around before deciding on something that while foolish, she decided she needed to do.
Taking a deep breath, Weiss said "Ah, fuck it. COME HERE ROSE!" She then proceeded to grab Ruby's face, and kissed her full on the lips.
"Well now, I didn't see that coming." Qrow said, before Winter did the exact same thing.
"Well now, both White Rose and Snowbirds have set sail." Alicia said to Tronmaster with a smirk.
"Yep. Ren, please get back to reading, and keep it PG lovebirds." Tronmaster said.
Standing in front of me was a trio of muggers and a guy with orange hair, a bowler hat, and a white coat... and wearing eyeliner.
Not too long after Ruby and Weiss' makeout session, Ruby looked at the screen and growled, "Torchwick..."
'I don't think I understand fashion in this era just yet.' Alexander said.
"I still don't." Alexander said.
"I've never understood human fashion." Shiva said.
"Okay..." Mister Eyeliner said looking at his henchmen, "Get her." He strained indicating these were just goons for hire.
"Very perceptive Ruby." Weiss said, looking to Ruby.
"Thanks Weiss." Ruby said, smiling at her partner/girlfriend.
In response I raised my hand, causing blue particles to rise from my feet, "Haste." I intoned, not a not a necessary part of the spell, but I am the target for this one so why not?
"It's like in Shonen anime, the main character doesn't need to say the name of their technique, but they just look badass doing it." Tronmaster said.
"Yep." Ruby, Jaune, Yang, and Nora said.
Anyway a golden clock with the four roman numeral's for 3, 6, 9, and 12 appeared above my head before the hands of the clock began to spin faster and faster, in turn making me faster.
"Good Lord. Ruby, plus a haste spell means a faster red reaper." Weiss said, later thinking, 'I wonder if that would include speeding up during...' Weiss never finished her thought, as she suddenly got a smile, and a small nosebleed.
"Um Weiss, you've got a nosebleed." Blake said, Weiss quickly snapping out of it.
"The shit?" A mook asked.
"Man, these guys really DO suck." Jaune said.
"They kinda do." Yang said.
Now in combination with my speed semblance I went from a blur, to nearly invisible as I sped and took down the mooks in a heartbeat.
"Impressive work Ruby." Summer said.
"I agree, it was sensationally badass." Penny said.
'I love Haste.' I thought with a smirk, Yang and I learned we could Draw spells from each other and exchange the spells, I fully stocked on Berserk Spells from Yang while she stocked on Haste Spells from me and we exchanged the spells before fully stocking again.
"Sounds useful." Raven said.
"It kinda is." Alicia said.
"That was embarrassing." The man said looking at the henchmen before looking at me, "Well then Red, , I think we can say it's been an eventful evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around." The man then pointed his cane at me and I saw a barrel at the end of the cane as a targeting sight flipped up. "I'm afraid this is where we part ways." The man finished fired a projectile at me.
"I'm already not liking Torchwick." Winter said.
"Yeah, the guy's kind of a douche." Penny said.
I fired Crescent Rose to speedily back up and avoid the shot, however it did create a smoke cloud that blinded me for a moment. When the fog cleared I saw the man was a fair distance away and climbing a ladder.
"How DID he get up there so quickly?" Ruby asked.
"The power of anime logic." Alicia said.
'I'll give the man points for speed, and I'll take them right back for not choosing to simply stay on the ground level and hide.' Alexander said.
'Funny, I did imagine if Alexander had a voice, he would sound like Dan Green.' Tronmaster thought to himself.
"Mind if we go after him?" I asked the clerk, who gave me the okay.
"I'm so proud of you!" Summer said, hugging Ruby.
"Aww, mom. You're embarrassing me in front of Weiss..." Ruby pouted.
Still under the effect of haste I practically flashed to the ladder and fired Crescent Rose and landed on the roof with the man, "Hey!" I shouted.
"Ruby's quite skilled with that scythe. I wonder if those skills translate to other activities..." Weiss said under her breath so that no one could hear her. Except Alicia and Blake.
"Persistent." the man said as an aerial vehicle known as a Bullhead picked the man up. "End of the line Red!" The man shouted throwing Dust crystal at me before firing his weapon at it.
"Man, Torchwick is such an asshole." Yang said.
"Yang, watch your language young lady." Summer said, "But from what I've heard from Tronmaster, you're not wrong." She added.
I raised my hand to cast a Shell spell to protect myself, however that wasn't necessary as a woman with blonde hair tied in a bun and wore both black and white with a purple tatted cape, in her hand was a riding crop.
"About time I showed up." Glynda said.
"Yeah, you and your dominatrix fetish." Alicia said, smirking.
'Unnecessary interference.' Alexander said slightly irritated.
"Seriously Glyn, you do enjoy ruining other's fun." Raven said, Summer nodding in agreement.
'Hey come on, she's a Huntress.' I replied slightly awed by that fact.
"You know Ruby, if you want someone with a dominatrix fetish, I'm sure that Weiss could fill that role." Yang said, sending a smirk at Ruby and Weiss, causing both girls to blush.
"Yang, if you know what's good for you, you'll shut the fuck up before I use a pair of gardening shears to shave off your hair." Ruby muttered under her breath.
I looked back and recognized the woman in front of me as Glynda Goodwitch, who actually came to visit a couple of day's after I revived Mom with Alexander's power.
"Sounds like something I would do." Glynda said.
Glynda fired a volley of Energy Dust at the bullhead, then she summoned a storm over the vehicle that rained sword like hail, that's when a new figure stepped partially into view, all I could see was fiery eyes and a red dress.
"Cinder..." Ruby growled, a scowl forming on her face.
"Ruby, calm down." Weiss said, giving Ruby a quick peck on the lips.
"Thanks Weiss." Ruby said, Weiss nodding at her girlfriend.
She hurled a fireball at Glynda and while Glynda avoided I cast another Spell, one that Alexander said was useful at all times, "Scan." I said.
"I take it that this one's more self-explanatory?" Penny asked.
"Yeah, pretty much." Tronmaster replied.
My vision was covered by a light green targeting 'X' shape that focused on what I aimed to scan while the back ground went black to deep blue as time came to a halt.
"Huh, neat." Ruby said.
Except I ended up scanning the Bullhead instead of the woman on it.
"Oh goddammit!" Ruby said, clearly miffed.
"Ruby Rose, you better watch your language young lady." Summer scolded.
"Summer, just let it go." Qrow said, only to receive a death glare from his former team leader.
[Bulhead: A piloted VTOL that can hold up to 6 people aside from the pilot, Bullheads aren't usually with weapons so their defense is only whoever is in it at the time. Weakness: Thunder and Wind Magic]
"Huh, that's good to know." Blake said.
'Well at east I know how to take down a Bullhead.' I thought annoyed.
"I'm with my other on this." Ruby said.
"Ruby, honey, if you agree to not be angry, I'll make you cookies for a month." Weiss said.
"And a Strawberry milkshake too?" Ruby asked her girlfriend, who nodded yes.
'Summon me, quick.' Alexander said as Glynda created a spear of debris and threw it at the Bullhead.
"Damn Glynda, you couldn't throw it more at Cinder?" Qrow asked sarcastically.
"Shut the fuck up Qrow." Glynda said.
I nodded and held Crescent Rose in front of me, catching the attention of both the mystery woman, and Glynda, "Come Alexander, Holy Judgement!" I chanted as four yellow orbs appeared at my feet and spun around me going upward util they went just above my head and shot away in four different direction.
"Time to see one of the most recurring elements of the Final Fantasy franchise." Tronmaster said.
"Pancakes?" Nora asked.
"Summoning." Tronmaster said in deadpan.
A bright white flash lit up the sky behind me and I turned behind me to see the massive machine standing on another building.
"So awesome." Ruby breathed.
"Wait mom, it gets better." Alicia said.
Steam shot out of Alexander's joints as his shoulders opened up to reveal missile silo's, "Fire!" I shouted, and Alexander shot out beams of pure Holy energy shot out of his shoulders like missiles into the sky.
"Holy mother..." Ruby said breathless.
"Amazing..." Weiss said, agreeing with her.
Moment's later the Holy beams fell from the sky and impacted the bullhead with frightening force.
"YEAH! TAKE THAT YOU FUCKING BITCH!" Ruby and Weiss both said.
"Holy shit, they're really getting into it." Raven said, flabbergasted.
When the light from the attack died the Bullhead was, unfortunately still flying, but the woman inside had fallen over in exhaustion, she was barely holding herself up.
"GODDAMMIT! SHE'S STILL ALIVE!?" Weiss asked/shouted.
"FUCK!" Ruby swore.
"She's used all of her power to protect the Bullhead." Alexander said as the Bullhead lurched away unsteadily, "But not from all of my attack."
"So, Cinder didn't escape unscathed." Qrow said.
"Seems like it." Penny said.
"Dismissed Alexander." I said, causing the massive machine to nod and vanish.
"I am thoroughly impressed." Winter said.
"Are you kidding me? THAT WAS AWESOME!" Weiss said, surprising her sister.
"Miss Rose..." Glynda said sternly.
"Ah, crapbaskets." Ruby said.
I turned to the Huntress with an embarrassed look on my face, "Ah ha..." I chuckled, "Hello again... Miss Goodwitch."
"Were you actually nervous?" Summer asked her daughter.
"Only when she started to interrogated me." Ruby said sheepishly.
[No P.O.V.]
"Guess it's time for a change in perspective." Penny said.
A woman in a grey NG Galbadian uniform stood from a distant rooftop looking through binoculars as she held a scroll to her ear. The uniform consisted of a grey suit with the standard armor as the other two uniforms, however this uniform's wearer was a woman with a long ponytail under a black cowboys hat instead of the helmet and she had green eyes.
"NEO GALBADIAN!" teams RWBY and JNPR said.
"Yep." Alicia said.
"Yeah Boss, the Silver eyed one has Alexander." The woman said into the scroll.
"Let me introduce you to a friend of mine, his name is shit Sherlock, first name no." Ruby said.
"You know what? I'm not even going to berate you. That was good." Summer said.
"I see." The NG leader said from her end of the scroll. "Continue to follow until she heads back to Patch. And Powder, once she heads back to Patch feel free to do some hunting."
"So, Powder is her name." Penny said.
"Seems like it." Glynda said.
"I love it when you say that." The woman, now known as Powder said hanging up her scroll and putting her binoculars away as she picked up her weapon, which appeared to be a brown colored sniper rifle based on the barrel length and scope. However Powder tapped a button near the grip and the weapons barrel segmented into short, even length cylinders that shifted around to form three barrels as the body of the weapon shifted just enough for the weapon to be recognized as a shotgun.
"Why do the bad guys get the cool gear?" Jaune asked.
"I don't know. But boy does it piss me off." Alicia said.
[Ruby P.O.V.]
"Oh boy, I am not looking forward to this experience again." Ruby said.
"I hope you realize your actions tonight will not be taken lightly." Glynda said circling me, making me feel pretty badly "You put yourself and others in great danger."
"Damn Glynda, there was no need to be such a bitch to her." Raven said.
"Raven, do me a favor. Shut the fuck up before I shave off your hair with a pair of gardening shears." Glynda said, making Raven look at her in fear.
"But the started it!" I retorted.
"They kinda did." Ruby said sheepishly.
"If it were up to me I would have sent the two of you home," Glynda continued "With a pat on the back, and a slap on the wrist." she added slapping her crop on the table, almost hitting my hand and making me jump.
"Jeez, guess she isn't a very Goodwitch after all." Yang punned.
"YANG! WEISS AND I WILL SHAVE OFF YOUR GODDAMN HAIR WITH A PAIR OF GARDENING SHEARS!" Ruby shouted, huffing.
"If you'll excuse me for a moment Yang, I'm going to go calm your sister down with a quick make-out session." Weiss said, "But she wasn't kidding about the gardening shears." Weiss added, later dragging Ruby out of the room.
"Well, that happened. So, who's up for a quick game of Mario Kart?" Alicia asked, getting a few nods from everyone.
*A few hours later*
"Nonononono NO! DONKEY KONG YOU BANANA EATING PIECE OF SHIT!" Winter said.
"WHOO! AND THAT'S WHY I'M QUEEN OF THE CASTLE BITCH!" Nora said, taunting Winter.
Ruby and Weiss later returned, their hair a tad disheveled.
"Welcome back." Tronmaster said with a smirk.
"Ren, just read the fucking chapter." Both Ruby and Weiss said, getting the White Rose couple to laugh.
"But there is someone here who would like to meet you two." Glynda said earning a confused look from me as a white haired man wearing a green coat with a brighter green under shirt walked in carrying a mug of coffee, and a plate of... cookies!
"Time for Oz's introduction." Qrow said.
"Oh, I just remembered something!" Tronmaster said, "Qrow, your main timeline counterpart survives." He added.
"So, I'm guessing that Volume 4 must've ended on Earth?" Blake asked.
"Yep." Tronmaster replied.
"Ruby Rose." The man, who I knew to be Professor Ozpin when he came to visit Mom after I revived said addressing me,"You have silver eyes."
"Damn Ozpin, way to seem creepy." Summer said.
"Umm." I said.
"So, where did you learn to do this? Not the magic of course." the man asked gesturing to a video showing my 'fight' with the thugs.
"And by 'fight,' it was more of a total asskicking." Weiss said, hugging her girlfriend.
"S-Signal academy." Ruby said.
"Wait, why did that go third person all of a sudden?" Penny asked.
"I dunno." Alicia replied with a shrug.
"They taught you how to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" The man asked.
"You're damn right I did." Qrow said with a smirk.
"Well, one teacher in particular." I answered.
"Did you actually train her with a scythe?" Raven asked.
"Yep." Qrow replied.
"I see." Ozpin said setting the plate of cookies down in front of me, I carefully ate one... before inhaling the rest. "It's just that I've only seen one other scythe user like that before, a dusty old crow."
"I'm badass." Qrow said with a smirk.
I then tried to say something only to realize my mouth was full so I swallowed. "Sorry, that's my Uncle Qrow, he's a teacher at Signal, I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing, now I'm all like," I said before making random karate noises and poses.
"Oum, you're adorable." Weiss said, giving her partner/girlfriend a peck on the cheek.
"Weiss, you're embarrassing me!" Ruby said, giggling.
"Alright guys, no need to get mushy now." Tronmaster said, chuckling.
"So I've noticed." Ozpin said putting his mug down, "And what is an adorable girl like yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?" the man asked.
"To become a ballet dancer." Penny joked, getting a laugh from everyone.
"Well, I want to be a Huntress." I said in a serious tone.
"You want to slay monsters." the man said.
"No, duh. Really?" Yang joked.
"Yeah, I only have two more years of training left to do at Signal and then I'm going to apply to Beacon. You see my sisters starting there this year and she's training to become a huntress. I wanna become a Huntress because I wanna help people, and my parents always taught us to help other so I thought I may as well make a career out of it, I mean the police are alright, but the Huntsmen and Huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and just..." I said before breaking down in a sigh, "Plus I have Alexander giving me power, and by using that power I can fight on par, maybe even better than those Neo Galbadian jerks." I added.
"Jeez Rubes, slow down why don't you?" Yang asked.
"To think they attacked Sanctum last year..." Glynda said, "But they killed very few people and retreated before they did any real damage."
"Yeah, don't remind me." Pyrrha said.
"Do you know who I am?" Ozpin asked.
"The Gingerbread Man?" Jaune asked sarcastically.
"You're Professor Ozpin, you're the headmaster of Beacon. You... visited when I used Alexander's power to revive Mom" Ruby said.
"Obviously Oz would be easily recognizable." Qrow said.
"Hello once again miss Rose." Ozpin said.
"Nice to meet you again too Professor." I replied.
"You want to come to my school." Ozpin said.
"I mean, who wouldn't?" Ruby asked.
"More than anything." I said.
"Well okay." Ozpin said.
"I'm still so incredibly proud of you!" Yang said, grabbing her sister in a bear hug.
"Yang, I just got this girlfriend, please don't break her. You know damn well she's irreplaceable." Weiss said sternly.
"Yeah, yeah. Don't get your ponytail in a knot." Yang said, letting up on the hug.
That's when Alexander's voice resonated through the room, "I hate to be the one to bring this exciting moment to a halt, but who is coming to pick this young lady up?" Alexander asked.
"I'm guessing that I already know the answer." Ruby said.
"Her mother and father." Glynda said.
"Dammit." Ruby muttered.
'Uh oh.' I thought.
"I know how my other feels.
[? P.O.V.]
"Oh great, who are we following this time?" Yang asked.
"I don't know, I have a feeling we're going to find out soon though." Penny replied.
"So Alexander has chosen someone as well..." I mused as I watched a screen that had 16 portraits, 8 had the profile's of the GF's Quezacotl, Shiva, Ifrit, Siren, Brothers, Diablos, Pandemona, and Alexander.
"Wait, is this 'the Sorceress' that was from a couple of trailers ago?" Glynda asked.
"Yep." Alicia replied.
The other eight were portrait's of one's Nora Valkyrie, Weiss Schnee, Yang Xiao Long, Jaune Arc, Pyrrha Nikos, Blake Belladonna, Lie Ren, and now Ruby Rose.
"Great, she has a hit list." Weiss said.
"Don't worry Weiss, our others are going to kick their asses!" Ruby said, comforting her girlfriend.
Weiss smiled at the antics of one Ruby Rose.
"This is getting interesting." I mused.
"Just wait until we kick your ass into next Tuesday." Blake said.
Then I heard a door opening behind me, "Sorceress." A voice I knew well said.
"What? Who could she possibly know well?" Winter asked.
"Her-"Yang began before Summer put her hand over Yang's mouth.
"Yes Slate?" I asked.
"Slate?" Penny asked.
"We've finished deciphering the old Esthar soldier plans, with your permission we can now make Esthar combat machines, and Cyborg Soldiers." Slate reported.
"Great, more enhanced super soldiers." Qrow said.
"With the aim of Stormtroopers." Blake said.
I held up a hand, "Begin creating the Gesper's and the Elastiod's, and find volunteers for the cybernetic implants."
"Only James can make cybernetics look good." Glynda said.
"Right away boss." Slate said as the door closed.
"Now then..." I said, "How is Facility number 7 doing?"
At that, the book closed shut.
"Alright, now, if you don't mind, Qrow, I need some, stress relief. And I need your assistance." Winter said, seductively.
"Okay." Qrow said, as both he and Winter left the room.
"Well, that happened. So, who's up for some Super Smash Bros?" Alicia asked, getting nods from everyone.
Jenkins: Well, looks like both White Rose and Snowbirds are now a reality in this dimension.
Melody: Yep. So, you want to bang?
Jenkins: Are you giving me a choice?
Melody: Nope.
