This incompetent author is back. Boo... ¯\_༼ ಥ ‿ ಥ ༽_/¯
I was scared to post another chapter. I still am now.

Anywho...I'm not even sure if I should have posted this chapter. Even then, I posted this chapter to see if posting another chapter, than just one, would be enough for someone to point out whether there are plot holes, anything that seems too OOC, basically any pointers. I really want to better myself (did I mention that last chapter? I'm not sure...) in terms of "story telling" (or being an author in that matter, despite this just being a hobby of mine).

Also, the last chapter didn't point "this" out, but I hope this chapter will explain a better version of "Charlotte", in terms of what "job" she is. Also, I'm not the best at writing fighting scenes, so the action in this one might be dry. I also suck at writing anything that sounds "inspirational". And before you point it out as a review, I will say "Yes". Yes, the majority of this chapter may sound a tad bit forced. Rereading it, I did find that out. However, I'm not sure how to fix it, so I hope someone will lend some "advice", if you will, on how to make what is supposed to be "dramatic" or "enlightening" not sound forced.

...Do I talk to much...?

Chapter 2: Quite the Night

= I don't own RWBY (Rooster Teeth does), Elsword (KOG does), or any other references to other games/media/etc. =

= They go to their respective owners =

A few days had passed since then. She, Charlotte, spoke a lot with Ruby and Yang, given that they were the only ones to talk to. Ruby came to talk to her most of the time to learn more about her cannon. Sadly, she only remembered how to wield it, not what it was made of and how it was made.

Charlotte was very uncomfortable around Qrow, as he was constantly drunk and spoke in a fashion that was indecipherable. She wasn't even sure if she was safe around him as he always had his weapon around with him.

Today, Ruby had asked Charlotte if she would like to see the city, which she agreed to do. She wanted to see the city. She was content with where their house was, as the scenery around it was beautiful, but that didn't mean she wasn't curious about other things, even though they were only going to one shop. Yang had wanted to go with them, but Taiyang wouldn't let her as he needed her help with chores around the house. Their uncle wasn't about to help.

Along the way, they made numerous stops as Charlotte kept asking many questions of various statues and shops, wondering what all of them were or what all of them sold. They did shop a little bit, but not too much as Ruby wanted to save money to buy something at the shop they were heading towards.

"From Dust Till Dawn..." Charlotte read aloud. "...Quite the mystical name."

"I know, right?" Ruby opened the door to allow Charlotte to enter in first, which she returned the gesture by bowing to her in gratitude. Upon entering, Charlotte saw a vast amount of containers, each holding a colorful substance. It intrigued her as she looked upon each one. The store owner, who was an old man, nodded to Ruby as she smiled at him and closed the door.

"This way, Charlotte," Ruby beckoned for her. Hearing the nickname, Charlotte honestly adored the way it sounded. As well as what it was complimented with: "cute".

As Charlotte followed Ruby, she looked amongst the goods. "Ruby, what are all of these?"

"You don't know?" Ruby asked, surprised that someone in the whole wide world of Remnant would not know what Dust is.

"The doctor said I had amnesia, didn't he?" Charlotte rhetorically asked, expecting that Ruby should've remembered. She had always been an airhead, so probably it wasn't much short of a surprise.

"Oh, right," Ruby said as she placed a finger on her chin. "Let's see...Well, basically, all Dust is are the thingies that we use ever day, lights 'n stuff, ya know? Aaaaaand..." She said, poking her head to recall most of what she had learned in Beacon Academy. "Uhhhh...oh, right! It's used to fight off the Grimm."

"Grimm?" Charlotte asked. She still didn't understand what Dust was, but she expected that asking about Grimm would trail back to Dust.

"Yeah! These black colored beasts that're really, really evil!" Ruby said with all seriousness, despite how childish she sounded. "And they're after humans and-!" Ruby went on to talk about Grimm, Charlotte listening intently. Even though she gave, perhaps, the general idea of what the Grimm was, the purpose and finding of Dust, in addition to Semblance, she figured she'd have to ask someone else later on about the fullest detail. Many of it was lacking, due to her giving more examples rather than examples WITH details. She even attempted to compare Dust to cookies...

While they were in the midst of their discussion, a man in such a high class, white colored outfit entered the building. He looked around while puffing out some smoke from his cigar, much to the store owner's disgust. Being old, smoke was pretty harmful to him. Some of his, probable, goons looked amongst the glass case containing lovely looking crystals. The man took out his cigar and tapped it above the glass casing, ashes landing on its surface.

"Do you have any idea..." He began asking the old man. "How hard it is to find a Dust shop open this late?"

The moment he ended his sentence, one of his men pulled a gun on the old man.

The man feared for his life. "P-please! Just take my lien and leave!"

"Shshshsh..." The man sighed. "We're not here for your money. Grab the Dust," He ordered his men. One of them brought out a gray case and opened it. Pulling out a few cylindrical devices, they went to work, shoving said devices into the openings of the containers holding dust and sucking out the material. He looked to the old man. "The crystals. Unburned and uncut."

The man immediately went to work, giving up the crystals. Sweat covered his forehead as his body shook in fear. One of the men went to the back to get the ones there too, however, he overheard the conversation Ruby and Charlotte were having.

"Uhhh, Ruby?" Charlotte said. "I don't think that's how an oven works. Much less how it compares to the human body containing aura...?"

"Sure it does!" She said, before tapping her chin. "...Actually, you may be right."

The man, clearly confused, went on ahead and unsheathed his red, curved blade. "Alright, kids, hands where I can see 'em."

Charlotte turned around as Ruby did as well.

"Uhhh, yes?" Charlotte asked. Her question was immediately answered upon seeing the sword. Ruby turned to Charlotte, who gestured forth towards the man.

"Make sure you don't jump out the win-" Charlotte face palmed as Ruby had just tackled the man out the window. The others grunts congregating amongst the broken window as Ruby stood up, unsheathing her scythe.

The white attired man stood in the middle of his grunts, looking at the girl. He looked to his grunts and shook his head. "Well? Get h-"

A force went past him as yet another individual had just sent another man flying out the window. Landing with a massive "thud", as well as cracking the ground a bit, Charlotte stood up and turned to the man as well.

"I'll help," She whispered to Ruby, who nodded.

Roman sighed. "Alright, get those two."

The two grunts rushed out, charging at both Chung and Ruby. They both separated to give each other some fighting room. Ruby began twirling her scythe amongst the batch that had thought of taking her down easily. Smacking a grunt a few feet away from her, she cocked the hammer in her barrel infused with her scythe and fired, using the moment to twirl the opposite direction and successfully landing a hit on another who had attempted for a back attack. She twirled her scythe a few rounds and brought her swing down upon a grunt, crushing him into the ground. One armed with a gun opened fire amongst the girl. With speed unknown to him, she dodged each bullet swiftly and closed the distance between them. She kicked the grunt into the air, stabbed her scythe into the ground and spun on top of it, fired her scythe, and, while spinning, the young acrobatic slammed the grunt into the ground.

Charlotte, on the other hand, had not thought of bringing her cannon. She thought it was only going to be a friendly walk. Said hopes turned into a street brawl. She went with the old one-two: fist fighting. She ducked under the horizontal slash from a goon and cocked her fist back. She launched her fist, the power of the blow evident through the visible smoke that came off said limb. The goon was sent into another one, knocking both unconscious. Seeing as another was using a ranged weapon, she bent her knees and launched herself towards the enemy. Wrapping her arm around the man's neck, she brought him down, cracking the man's neck and knocking him out cold.

The man face palmed. "You were worth every cent. Truly you were..." The man dropped his cigar as he continued while squashing it. "Well, I believe this was a rather eventful evening. Don't you, Red and Dolly?" Both adjusted their stance, getting ready for his move.

"And as much as I'd love to stick around," He raised his cane, aiming it as if it were a gun. Soon, its bottom opened and a cross hair was made. "This is where we part."

Realizing what he was wielding, Charlotte and Ruby both lunged out of the way. Rolling on the ground, Charlotte got up and looked around for the criminal, as well as Ruby. They both spotted him making his way up a ladder on a building. They both turned to the shop keeper who had just came out from hiding.

"You don't mind if we go after him, right?" Ruby asked with a smile. The man shook his head as Ruby grabbed a hold of Charlotte. Charlotte bowed in apology.

"Sorry for the ruckus," She said as Ruby lunged them both into the air.

Landing on the roof, they both rolled to spread the impact amongst their body. Ruby was the first to stand.

"Hey!" She shouted as the man stopped at the edge of the building.

"Persistent..." He muttered as the two heard a machine whirring to life. In front of the man, an aerial vehicle ascended, the winds from its horizontal blades causing both Charlotte's and Ruby's hair to flutter violently.

The man mounted the vehicle and turned around with a smirk. "End of the line, kiddos!"

He threw a red crystal towards them, the light from the moon shining it brightly. Charlotte, despite not knowing what was the purpose, felt alarms going off. She stomped the ground and two white, small walls burst out from her. Both Charlotte and Ruby were then covered in a white bubble that shined brightly. Once the red crystal hit the ground, the man fired at it with his cane. An explosion came after.

The man laughed in victory, expecting that the two were both dead. However, once the smoke cleared, a transparent wall made by unknown means was in front of the two. A woman wearing an outfit, seemingly like a professor, as well as a purple cape that looked tattered stood in front of them. Charlotte had thought they were going to be hit, thus she put up defensive measures. Sadly, her means were in vain. Though, that did not mean she wasn't pleased to see the woman. The same went with Ruby, as they both knew who, or more specifically what, she was.

The man clicked his tongue and growled. The woman proceeded to thrust her riding crop, a questionable choice of weapon, forward. In doing so, numerous amounts of purple wisps launched towards the vehicle at a high speed. The impacts from each one caused the vehicle to shake, making the man inside wobble around to keep his balance. He entered the cockpit and spoke to a woman from within the vehicle.

A few moments later, the vehicle had attempted to fly away. The woman shot another wisp, this time above the vehicle. A purple, runic circle appeared. Shortly after it appeared, it faded; a black cloud formed, acting as a sort of wall for the vehicle. The woman swung her crop downward and heavy amounts of icicles came down on the vehicle, piercing its metal exterior. One had pierced within the cockpit, though perhaps it missed the pilot as the vehicle was still afloat.

The sound of high heels hitting against metal resounded in the area. From where the man once was, a woman appeared. The hood of the vehicle blocked the light from revealing her face, much to the witch-looking woman's suspicion. Fire came forth from the woman's hands. Immediately counteracting the projectiles, the woman brought up a small wall of magic in front of her. When the flames hit the roof of the building, sizzling could be heard. Soon, the droplets of fire formed a wide, red and white circle under the woman. Sensing trouble, the woman back flipped off the circle as fire erupted upwards, along with debris from the roof. Using that debris, she formed a massive spear.

Charlotte, breaking out from her stupor, noticed the massive spear. Sitting back and watching someone do the work was something Charlotte did not like, so she decided to assist and rushed towards the creation. The woman was stunned as Charlotte took the make shifted spear, twisted her body, and threw the spear at a speed unimaginable to her. The woman within the vehicle was surprised herself as she barely had time to react. The spear had scratched the vehicle, revealing the wiring of the machine.

The debris broke apart as the white-witch woman broke out from her stun. She created three serpentine like beings from the debris, intending to bind the vehicle downward. The silhouetted woman seemed to have caught wind of her plans as runes colored in orange surrounded her. Spreading her arms outward, the magic of the white witch was canceled and the debris fell from where it had once been.

Ruby, realizing Charlotte had already broken out from her thoughts and taken action before her, decided to act as well. Shape-shifting her scythe into an odd form of a firearm, she took aim at the woman within the helicopter and fired. The woman blocked each one through magical means with only one hand. Once the rounds of bullets ended, she took this opportunity to create several red, magical circles under the three individuals. Already knowing what it did, the woman whisked her crop in the air. Both Charlotte and Ruby felt a force push them away from the circle as the woman dolphin dived away from the area of effect as well. She looked up to see that the vehicle had successfully fled from the scene, much to her frustration. Both Ruby and Charlotte stood up as they both said in unison.

"You're a Huntress...?!" The two asked with glimmering eyes. The Huntress turned with narrowed eyes. Charlotte had realized she was upset, while Ruby failed to understand her emotions as she continued. "Can I have your autograph?!"

Both Charlotte and Ruby found themselves in an interrogation room with an angry woman, pacing back and forth behind them.

"I hope both of you understand that your actions have put yourselves and others into great danger," She stated with a cold tone. "You're actions tonight will not be taken lightly, young ladies."

"But, they started it!" Ruby defended both of them.

She sighed as she walked around the table, adjusting her glasses. "If it were up to me, I would send both of you back home with a pat on the back..." Ruby felt pride building up in her at where she believed this was going. It was immediately brought down as the lady whipped the table in front of the young girl, causing both her and Charlotte to squeak in surprise. "And a slap on the wrist." She had adjusted her glasses as she added. "However, there is someone who would like to meet you."

Coming forth from the door of the interrogation room, an elderly, yet young looking, man stepped forth. Circle glasses framed his face as he came into full view, wearing green colored clothing and holding a plate of cookies along with a coffee mug.

"Ruby Rose..." He spoke as he came closer. Getting uncomfortably close to the girl, he continued. "You have...silver eyes..."

"U-uhhhh..." She stammered, feeling very uncomfortable under the man's gaze. The man backed away, and went on.

"So, where did you learn to do this?" He referred to a video recording of her fight.

"S-Signal Academy...?" She nervously answered in the form of a question.

He rose an eyebrow, clearly concerned about something she had said. "They taught you how to wield one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?"

"W-well, an instructor in particular..." She quickly responded, hoping to satisfy his question.

"I see..." He said, setting down the plate of cookies. "It is just that I know of only one other scythe wielder at that skill level: a dusty, old Qrow," He noted while she took half (or two-thirds) of the cookies on the plate before motioning for Charlotte to have some, who gladly took only two and refused the others.

"Oh, fafs mah unker row!" She said, mouth full of cookies. Charlotte shook her head and placed a hand lightly on her own face as she just responded in an inappropriate manner as the man rose an eyebrow at her questionable manners.

Realizing why they were acting in such a way, she quickly gulped the cookies and wiped her mouth. "Sorry, that's my uncle, Qrow!" She said, sheepishly chuckling. "He's a teacher at Signal. I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing. Now I'm all like-!" She then proceeded to do silly motions in an attempt to mimic a ninja.

"So I've noticed." The man placed down the coffee mug. "And what is an adorable girl like you doing at a school designed to train warriors?"

"Well..." She said as she brought in a serious tone. "I want to be a Huntress."

"You wish to slay monsters?" He asked.

"Yeah!" She said with a determined look adorning her face. "I've got two more years at Signal. Then, I'm going to apply to Beacon. You see, my sister's starting th-..." Soon, Ruby began to speak at the speed of light, Charlotte sighing as she had always wondered how the girl was so energetic. Soon, her short "speech" came to an end.

"...and really, gosh, you know!" On her face was the biggest smile they all, except for Charlotte as she had seen it before and instead giggled a bit, had ever seen. However, the woman rose an eyebrow while the man clasped his hands together.

"...Do you know who I am?" He asked.

She replied simply. "You're professor Ozpin, headmaster of Beacon."

"Hello." Ozpin said, simply.

"Nice to meetcha!" Ruby greeted.

He placed a hand in front of him. "Do you wish to enter my school?"

"More than anything."

He turned to the woman next to him as she scoffed. He smiled as he turned back to her. "Well, okay."

Her eyes widened in surprise as she grabbed Chung's hands and shook them rapidly. "OHMIGOSH!"

"Ah, yes," Ozpin looked to Chung. "I wish to speak to you as well."

Charlotte looked around before pointing a finger at himself. "M-me...?"

"Yes, you," Ozpin chuckled. "...Where did you learn to do this?"

The woman had brought up, once again, the device she had showed Ruby's fight on. This time, however, it was show casing Charlotte's strength as well as his defensive measure, Wonder Wall.

"Oh..." Charlotte said, as she showed sadness in her face. "Well...I don't remember."

"I see..." Ozpin sighed as he leaned back. "I know of your situation, so it is alright. I won't push you to remember everything, as the doctor had sent me the results as well."

Charlotte nodded as Ozpin continued. "Getting to the point, you seem to be rather capable of fighting. No regular person has strength such as yours without the need of a Semblance or the like. Do you attend Signal, as well?"

Charlotte shook her head. "Ah, no..."

"Were you taught by someone?"

Chung shrugged. "Somewhat. Ruby's father, Taiyang, and her uncle, Qrow, has taught me some close quarter combat."

"I see. You seem to be a rather capable fighter, along with Miss Rose," Ozpin said. "Now, then...we are in a time of need for strength as great as yours."

Ruby and Charlotte looked at each other, suspecting that they knew where this was going. Charlotte then turned to Ozpin. "Yes. We are."

Ozpin leaned in and took a sip from his coffee. Leaning back, once again, he folded his hands. "What is your take on fighting for the sake of others?"

Charlotte looked down at her hands. For some reasons, she felt as if she already had answered this before. "I...I...understand the feeling of the weak. When I think of others standing helplessly, I understand what they feel. I become afraid myself."

Ozpin nodded. "Go on."

"People don't help because they don't want too...," Charlotte said, clutching her hands. "They can't...because they feel too weak...and useless." She looked to Ozpin with hardened eyes. "I hate thinking of sitting back and dying with the crowd or being saved as if some damsel in distress. That's why I want to get stronger. I want to be the savior the weak call for. If it's to risk my life, then fine, I'll do it. As long as I can save a soul. I want to fight for everyone's sake."

Ruby's eyes were wide. She honestly never knew Charlotte had a really strong resolve. She could feel the weight of her words. And should she admit it, which she wouldn't mind doing so, she felt the same. She wanted to help people. She wanted to help those that can't protect themselves. The woman began to have a different impression on Charlotte, though she thought she was a tad bit naïve. Ozpin, on the other hand, smiled.

"Lovely words," He said. "So...what is it that you would like me to do?"

Charlotte hardened her gaze, knowing what Ozpin was getting at. "I want to apply to Beacon as well!"

Ozpin smiled and held out his hand. "It's a pleasure to have both of you as a student."

So, here's basically a tad bit of Charlotte's "statistics":

"Job": Iron Paladin
Weapon: Cannon (The Destroyer)
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Blood-type: A
[Height: 157.7 cm]
[Weight: 50.4 kg]

The height and weight were thought up on a whim. I did do a little bit of research, but I didn't want Charlotte to be TOTALLY based off of Chung, since technically she is his "gender bend". Also, for the "Job", I was thinking of doing a mixture of Tactical Trooper, Deadly Chaser, and Iron Paladin (giving her probably 3 or 4 "skills" from each one), but I realized that one, it would be too confusing, two, it'd take time to look up all Deadly Chaser and Tactical Trooper moves (since I used Iron Paladin more than the other two), and three, that would kind of be overpowering. And I'm...a tad bit afraid in finding out what it would result in. Don't ask.

Concerning how she threw that "spear-like structure", created by the "White Witch", if you think about it, Iron Paladin (and the other jobs) constantly swing around a massive cannon that weighs "who-knows-how-much" kg or something. Taking that factor into mind, as well as Iron Paladin having skills with the ability to shatter the ground, most likely, she should be able to carry an object that size. If you're worrying that, in the near future, I'll have "Charlotte" carry a 'boulder' or something, don't. This is probably going to be a one time thing. Probably.

...Am I thinking too much into this...? Seriously, someone just tell me to stop posting stories and just type for myself. Then again, I'm afraid to hear that, too...I don't know...!

PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT OTHERS THINK!

Anyways...ciao...

I dunno if I'll come back again...I'm really scared to post stories, but I like writing stories...I talk too much.
