The Rose Sisters
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY. If I did, one it wouldn't be nearly as awesome, and two I wouldn't be in High School. I'd be in my secluded mansion where I don't have to worry about living breathing people annoying me unless I choose to (which I doubt I would). So no suing the guy who has 5 dimes, 3 nickels, 2 penny's, a quarter, and the lint in his pocket.

Chapter 6: Sisterly Love, And A Warning
-With Ruby On the Cliff-
Ruby's eyes widen when she looks out across the Emerald Forest and sees a familiar figure clad in an identical outfit only in blue instead of red. As soon as her mind registers who this person is Ruby jumps of the cliff using Crescent Rose to boost herself in the direction of this figure who Ruby has not seen for nearly three years.
-With Yang, Weiss, and Blake-
Weiss: What is she doing?!
Yang: Ruby! Wait! Ruby!
Yang's shouts don't even register in Ruby's mind, which has locked on to its objective.
Blake on the other hand looks at the direction Ruby is heading and sees what appears to be another Ruby, only clad in blue. Realization sets in and then Blake is off, followed by Yang and Weiss.
Chasing Ruby through the forest Blake, Weiss, and Yang keep one eye on Ruby who just keeps flying through the air.
Yang: Why is Ruby acting like this?! I've never seen her do something like this before!
Weiss: She's definitely not the type of person to just run off like this for no reason!
Yang: How do you know that?!
Weiss: I don't know it for a fact! I just based my conclusion on previous actions and the way she acts!
Yang: Why do you care about what she does and how she acts?! I thought you hated her?!
Weiss: I don't hate her! I just currently dislike her! I'm a spoiled brat NOT an ice queen! Just because I don't like someone doesn't mean I won't help them if they need it!
Yang: I see!
Weiss: If you tell anyone about what I just said there WILL be consequences! If any of father's competitors found out who knows what they'd do!
Yang: Don't worry! But I do want you to tell Ruby this if she becomes part of the team!
Weiss: Fair enough!
Blake: (who has been quiet up until now) She's landing! We must be getting close!
-With Ruby-
Ruby lands on the ground and slows down to a stop in the area where she saw her target.
Ruby: I will bring you home. When you were taken I made a promise that I would one day find you and bring you back home where we can be a family again. And I'm not about to break that promise.
Blake, Yang, and Weiss come running up behind Ruby.
Weiss: Why did you run like that?! What was the point of coming all the way out here?!
Ruby gives no indication that she heard a word that was said.
Yang: Ruby, tell me what's going on. I want to help you but I can't do that if you won't let me! Ruby, please, tell me.
Ruby still gives no reaction.
Blake: It's Saphire, isn't it?
Ruby's shoulders tense up and she jerks her head slightly to the side.
Yang: (in a confused and worried tone) Who's Saphire, what is Blake talking about Ruby?!
Ruby: (turning her head slightly to the side so everyone can hear her better) Stay out of this. I must do this alone. If you so much as fire on her then my problems won't be the only thing you will have to worry about.
Weiss, Blake, and Yang all nod in acknowledgement but stay silent. Suddenly a girl Ruby's age who looks like she could be Ruby's twin only wearing blue appears out of nowhere. Ruby and the girl just stare at each other until the girl suddenly speaks up.
? Girl: (in a voice almost identical to Ruby's) Follow me. It's not safe here.
Ruby just nods and follows the other girl without a word. The rest of the group soon catch up. After finding a secluded area the girl suddenly turns around and hugs Ruby.
? Girl: (with tears streaming down her face) Oh Ruby! I started to think I'd never see you again!
Ruby: (hugging the girl back while also having tears streaming down her face) Saphire! I can't believe it's really you! After they took you I was worried I'd never see you again! But I never gave up hope! (pushing Saphire to an arm's length away) What happened!?
Saphire: (looking into Ruby's eyes) Three people broke in and knocked me out with some kind of liquid gas. When I woke up and saw you weren't with me I was worried they would try to hurt you, or worse. I knew I had to find you to make sure you were ok. But no matter how hard I looked I just couldn't trace you down.
Ruby: I saw three men taking you away but before I could do anything I was knocked out with some type of gas. How did you find me?
Saphire: They tried to train me into being only loyal to them. It didn't work but I went along with what they told me to do in hope of one day finding you. Recently I've been hearing about a plan to attack Beacon. Then I heard that the reason for the attack was to capture you and turn you into their weapon like they thought they did with me. I got here as soon as I could to warn you.
Ruby: (holding Saphire closer) You don't have to worry now. You're home, I won't let them take you away a second time.
Saphire: (snuggling closer) I'm glad to be home.
Yang: Ruby. Who is this girl? How do you know her?
Ruby: Everything will be explained, but right now we need to get back to the academy.
Weiss: Right. Whatever happened can be explained later. Right now we have to get to a safe and secure area.
Blake: Let's go.
Everyone starts running back the way they came only with Blake in the lead instead of Ruby, who is in the back with her twin sister. Then, without warning.
Saphire: (suddenly dropping to the ground in pain) AAAAaaaahhhhhhh!
Everyone turns around after hearing the shrill scream and stares at Saphire.
Ruby: (laced with concern) Sis! What's wrong?! Why did you scream?!
Saphire: (on the ground sobbing) Ruby. I'm sorry, I didn't know. They must have did it when I wasn't aware.
Ruby: What did they do to you?! Sis! Saphire!
All of a sudden an air craft appears in front and above them. Inside is the leader of the White Fang, who, by the way, is a HUMAN, and a lady wearing a red and gold dress with a slit going up one side and red high heels.
White Fang Leader: Hahaha. So Saphire, you thought you could warn the academy and your twin sister about our plans did you? Well you did EXACTLY what I hoped you would do. I hope you like the little… addition I made to your outfit.
Saphire: What?!
Then realization sets in that the reason her outfit seems different is because he tampered with it.
Saphire: No. Ruby, you must warn father!
Ruby: No! I won't leave you!
White Fang Leader: How touching. Now Saphire, attack your beloved twin sister!
Saphire: I'm sorry.
Saphire pulls out her weapon, which looks like an exact copy of Ruby's but blue. Putting it in sniper mode Saphire stands sideways and points her weapon with one hand right at the group.
Saphire: (fighting for control of her own body still) FORGIVE MEEEEEEEEE! *rrrrrRRRRRRRRPuuuhhh*
The charged shot from Saphire's gun pushes the group all the way back to the cliff and into the wall. Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora, and Lie watch in shock as a blue beam smashes their soon to be classmates into the cliff wall. Ruby starts to fall from the cliff wall followed closely by Blake, Yang, and then Weiss. Recovering quickly Yang, Blake, and Weiss all land safely, but Ruby never lands, instead after recovering she takes out Crescent Rose and shoots herself into the air ready to fire at the air ship heading her way.
Ruby: (in a fiery rage) I WILL NOT LET YOU TAKE HER AGAIN! *Bang**Bang**Bang*
Round after round is fired at the ship with little effect.
White Fang Leader: Hahaha! Your puny attempts at fighting are useless! Embrace your fate and make this easier on both of us!
Ruby: Never! The White Fang was supposed to be a group of Faunus that fought for peace and equality, not so people would fear us and resent us! Until you came along we were starting to get people to see we are not bad people just because we are different!
White Fang Leader: Well too bad! Peace never got anyone anything!
Ruby: So you, a HUMAN, take over the White Fang and use them to do your dirty work while all the Faunus feel the negative effects! Human's like you are why good Faunus turn cold and do things they will regret for the rest of their lives! Some even commit suicide because of humans like you!
White Fang Leader: Well good for them! Now shut up and come with me!
Ruby: NEVER! GIVE ME BACK MY SISTER AND GET OUT OF HERE!
White Fang Leader: Then we do this the hard way!
After these words the gun ship charges up and shoots Ruby to the front gate of Beacon Academy, coincidentally where she first met Weiss and Blake.
Ruby: Aahh!
Ruby skids across the ground and slides to a stop. Barely able to move a muscle she awaits her fate. The rest Ruby's group and all of Jaune's group run up to her trying to help her up. The gun ship hovers up to the group and stops a few feet away.
White Fang Leader: Well I'm disappointed. I thought you would give more of a fight. Oh well. Saphire, get her.
Saphire jumps over the gun ship and gets ready to fight the group. The group gets into a fighting stance ready to defend Ruby.
Ruby: (in a nearly inaudible whisper) No.
Yang: (surprised at hearing Ruby speak up) What?
Ruby: (in a slightly louder voice while struggling to get up) I said no. She may be attacking us but she has no control over what she does. (talking louder and still getting louder) Besides, she's still my twin sister and family never gives up on family!
Everyone, even Nora, turns their heads toward Ruby with shocked expressions.
Weiss: Don't be stupid. We can't just stand here while you get beat up.
Ruby: (now fully standing) You won't have to.
Ruby walks forward through the group to stand in front of everyone.
-In the Distance-
Glynda: Shouldn't we help them?
Headmaster: No. This is Ruby's fight. She needs to do this.
Glynda: What do you mean?
Headmaster: (becoming unfocused) She was never the same after Saphire was taken. For a while she wouldn't even leave her room, let alone eat or speak to me. She had nightmare, ones that no child should have.
Glynda: (turning to the Headmaster) Headmaster?
Headmaster: Glynda?
Glynda: Yes sir?
Headmaster: Did you know I have children?
Glynda: No sir?
Heamaster: Twins. So alike and yet so different. To see them like this kills me. To know I can't do anything to my little girls…
Glynda: (looks out at the Ruby and Saphire) I think I finally understand.
-Back with the Sisters and Everyone Else-
Ruby: (gaining all her rage) This ends now!
To everyone's surprise, except Ruby's opponents and Blake, a red tail unwraps from under Ruby's skirt and red cat ears pop up from her hair. The tail shoots out for Crescent Rose and flings it back to Ruby who grabs it and switches it to sniper mode. Suddenly Ruby starts screaming out in rage and points her gun strait at Saphire who is still standing in front of the gun ship.
Ruby: AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
Suddenly the charge seems to disappear only for a Massive red beam to shoot forward and envelope Saphire and the gun ship while blinding everyone else temporarily. When everyone's sight returned the only thing that could be seen was a giant smoke cloud following the path the beam took. No Ruby, no Saphire, and no gun ship. As the dust settles figures can be seen coming into focus. Ruby is sitting on the ground with her arms and tail wrapped around Saphire who is laying naked in Ruby's lap. The dust settles and the gunship is still nowhere to be found, but the people who were on it are laying on the ground just getting up.
White Fang Leader: Uuhh. What power. She will make an excellent edition. Saphire bring her to me...
No response.
White Fang Leader: Saphire. I said bring her to me…
Still no response.
White Fang Leader: Why you… (suddenly shocked) Uh.
Ruby: (growling) My sister won't be taking any more orders from you.
White Fang Leader: (too surprised to make legible speech) What? How?
The Headmaster then jumps in front of Ruby and Saphire.
Headmaster: (in a defensive stance and with a cold tone) I suggest you get while the getting is good. Unless you want to spend the rest of your life in jail… Roman.
Roman: *Grrr* This isn't the last time we will meet, I'll make sure of it. Come on Cinder!
Headmaster: Oh and if you EVER attack my daughters again I will personally hunt you down and rip your throat out.
Another gun ship quickly appears and hovers low enough for Roman and Cinder, the lady with the red dress and heels, to get on then speeds off even quicker than it appeared.
Headmaster: (turning around after he knows it is safe) You okay Ruby?
Ruby: Yes I'm ok.
Headmaster: (kneeling down so he is at Ruby's level) How is your sister doing?
Ruby: She should wake up soon. My rage was toward Roman and what he has done. The only reason it affected Saphire at all was because he tampered with her clothing and she was under his control. (now with tears streaming down her face and holding Saphire tighter) He needs to pay for his actions. He has been controlling the White Fang for too long. Faunus will never get the freedom they deserve as long as HE is controlling the White Fang and forcing them to commit crimes.
Headmaster: I know. And he WILL pay for his actions. But right now we need to give our attentions to your sister. Let's get her inside and get her old clothes that you saved.
Ruby slowly gets up and her father takes Saphire in his arms. They two walk back to the academy and are joined by Glynda on the way.
Glynda: It will be ok Ruby. We got your sister back and she won't be leaving us anytime soon if I have any say in it.
Ruby: Thank you.
Back at the front where the battle just took place everyone is wide eyed and shocked with all the revelations that just happened. Having to comprehend what they just herd and witnessed each person walks into a different direction. The only person who is left is the pilot of the gun ship that was disintegrated. Getting up and realizing where he is the pilot looks around and then bolts in the opposite direction of the Academy, which just happens to be the only direction nobody went in… and also happens to lead strait off the cliff side that the landing platform is on. I don't think he knew this though as he runs strait off the edge, possibly never to be seen again.
