Well, Chapter 2 is here and it will take place between the incident and the beginning part of the prologue. Well, hope you all enjoy chapter 2.
There was an ancient tale of folklore on the continent of Vale about a soldier who had his blood mixed with the blood of a grimm and the soldier dying from the poison in the Grimm's blood. However, the soldier was reborn as something that they all feared, a grimm that many called the Grimm knight. This Grimm unlike any other, killed both humans and Grimm the same. He eventually disappeared from the land and many people believed him to be, but a myth and legend. As time past, this story disappeared from the stories of man and only appeared in ancient books of life before the discovery of Dust. Little did the world know was that this story was real and much approaching the next chapter in it.
Ruby woke up in a hospital bed twelve hours later with a majority of her wounds having healed much to her surprise. Ruby sat up and tried to get out of the bed but was stopped by a nurse. "You need to get rest so you can get better and heal your injuries, so please lie back down Miss. Rose." The nurse stated while gently pushing Ruby back to laying down in the bed.
"What injuries are you referring to?" Ruby said confused and looked down at her body to find loads of cuts in her clothing and a huge opening in her sleeve that had a small scar where each injury was. The nurse let out a gasp while looking over each of where each of her injuries were at and how they were now replaced by scars.
"That is not possible, even if you had full aura, that would have taken at least two days to heal from people with high amount of aura." The nurse said while pulling out here scroll to call for Ruby's team to come to her immediately. While doing so, she examined the aura scanner to see how much aura Ruby had and found that it was full. "How is this even possible?" she said to herself and got Team RWBY on the line.
"Yes, who is this?" The voice on the other end came from who see assumed was Weiss.
"This is Nurse Alice, and I am in charge of attending to Ruby. The reason I am calling is that I need your team to come down here immediately." Nurse Alice stated as she moved away from Ruby and out of the door to talk to Weiss.
"What happened?!" Weiss shouted on the other end of the line as she sound to start panicking.
"Nothing happened, we just need you guys down here to discus some stuff regarding Ruby." Nurse Alice responded trying to calm down Weiss.
"We will be right over there." Weiss replied with relief in her voice as she hung up.
*3 minutes Later*
Weiss and Blake entered the room to find a much awake Ruby talking to who they assumed was Nurse Alice. "Ruby, You are awake!" Weiss let out in surprise and hugged her partner while looking over her and was shocked to see all her injuries were healed even though her own injuries were minor in comparison and were almost healed. "How..." Weiss trialed off causing Blake to see what Weiss had seen.
"Is this why you called us down Mrs. Alice?" As Blake slowly walked over to Ruby and looked her over with careful observation before checking Ruby's aura level from her scroll and let out a loud gasp that startled Weiss. Weiss walked over and glanced at the scroll and gave Nurse Alice a look of pure shock.
"I think our scrolls are broken, they say Ruby's aura is at 110%." Weiss stated as she glanced back and looked surprised when Nurse Alice dropped the pen she was writing with as well as the report she was filling out while Ruby gasped out of shock. Nurse Alice pulled out the monitor that was linked to Ruby to see that it was indeed at 110%.
"This is not possible." She muttered before sending a message to both Professor Ozpin and Professor Glynda to come down immediately. "I have sent for a person who would have the best understanding of this situation." Nurse Alice stated but you could see the fear of Ruby having her aura being at 110%. A couple minute later the door opened and in walked Ozpin and Glynda. "Professors, I am glad you got here so soon. The reason I called you down here is this." Nurse Alice stated while handing them the monitor. The look on Professor Glynda's face made it certain that she had never seen it, but what surprised her was Professor Ozpin didn't even react.
"I would like everyone, but Miss Rose to leave so we may discuss some stuff about her condition." Ozpin stated a he opened the door he gestured for them to leave the room. As soon as they left he closed it, locked the door and enabled the rooms sound proof walls. He then turns to Ruby and lets out a sigh. "You know what is happening don't you? After all, Your uncle thought you a lot more then how to use a scythe." Ruby glanced down before nodding her head.
"So does this mean that the stories were true?" Ruby stated as she braced herself for the answer to the question that she already know the answer to but wanted it to be confirmed. Ozpin turned away from her and walked to the window and glanced out of it to the Emerald Forest.
"Indeed it is and it is now happening to you at an incredible rate. After all, your aura is know at 120% and slowly increasing." Ozpin answered as he pulled over a chair and gave Ruby a sad look. "I am sorry Miss Rose, but I must remove you from my academy for the safety of my students." At this Ruby started to tear up, but nodded her head. "I will give you until the end of the day to get your stuff, say goodbyes, and to leave Miss Rose. I am sorry it had to come to this." Ozpin informed her as he thought of how he had just lost his best student.
"Got it Professor Ozpin." Ruby said as she got out of the bed and unlocked the door before starting to walk back to her dorm to collect her stuff. As she left she saw her sister who was in a bad condition talking to Weiss and Blake about what happened after she paced out. Yang noticed her and immediately ran over to her and encased her in a hug. Ruby gave out a sad smile as this would be one of the last hugs she would receive in a long time.
"Don't worry sis, we will be here for you as we try to find out what is wrong." Yang said as he noticed Ruby's sad smile and the fresh tear marks."Hey, don't worry, you are safe now and we can solve this issue."
"No, we can't." Was all she got out of Ruby as the others blinked in surprise as she turned and bowed her head. "Ozpin and I already know the cause and are already taking the plans need to deal with it." Ruby said as she looked down at her feet. "I have to go away for a bit and need to leave soon, I am sorry." Ruby stated as she started to cry.
"What do you mean you have to leave? We can help with the problem even if you think we can't!" Weiss shouted at Ruby causing Ruby to get even sadder as she let out a sigh.
"No, you can't and I am so sorry." Ruby sobbed before disappearing and arriving at her dorm to collect her stuff. As she was leaving, she bummed into Team JNPR and ended up falling. They looked surprise to see Ruby carrying a duffle bag.
"Where are you going Ruby?" Juane asked as Ruby got up. "We just got a message that your team was looking for you." Juane stated while looking confused as Ruby started to back away from them.
"I am so sorry guys, I guess this is goodbye." Ruby said as she looked up and one of her eyes was it's usual silver but the other was bright red. The next second Ruby was gone and in her place were black rose petals. Juane held out his hand and one of the black rose petals land on it before discriminating like a grimm would.
Ruby sat on the cliffs of the Emerald Forest where she had decapitated the nevermore. As she looked around she felt herself start to slip even more as the moon started to become full. She felt pain run through her body as it tried to fight of the grimm within her. She was fighting an up hill battle, she let out a sigh as she submitted to the grimm taking over her. She let out a howl to the moon as she started to turn into a mix of a Beowulf and a deathstalker. All around her body, plates of bone started to form into armor that looked almost like that of a wolf. She let out another howl which caused anyone at Beacon to look at the Emerald Forest trying to figure out how strong this Grimm would be if they could hear it from the front of the academy. As Ruby began her transformation, Grimm of all sort started to approach the area out of curiosity. Ruby glanced around her to see all the Grimm had come to see what was happening. One thought traveled through her mind as she held out her hand as a weapon started to form right in front of her. That thought was to hunt and kill. The weapon finished forming in front of her and she examined it. It was two swords that were mad of Grimm bones and wrapped in leather at the hilt. Also, the sheaths of both weapons appeared on her sides. Ruby let out one final, short howl before charging the grimm that were around her. She quickly counted that there was three Ursa Majors, six Ursa Minors, four boarbatusks, and about twenty Beowolves. She immediately rushed over and decapitated two Ursa Majors followed by cutting off the last ones arms and breaking its jaw killing it in the process. She felt something moving towards her as she quickly rolled out of the way of the stampede boarbatusks and moved over to the minors and executed each one of them. Ruby then got hit by one of the beowolves and ended up rolling right into the pack of Boararbatuskes and hit the ground with parts of her armor breaking. Her wounds closed almost insistently with her aura being beyond normal. She stood up and let out a snarl before rushing at the boararbatuskes while channeling her aura into the blades giving them a red glow and she then activated her semblance and appeared with both her blades in two of them and quickly did the same to the other two.
Ruby let out a wolf grin before asking, "Who's next?" She then twirled her blades and looked at the twenty beowolves who started to encircle her. The alpha beowolf stayed near the back and let out a bark to the others to begin the assault on Ruby. Ruby dashed forward and chopped the first two beowolves in half before somersaulting back as two beowolves cut down each other as the had attempted to cut her, but ended up dicing each other apart. Ruby then used her semblance to appear in the middle of a group of about six beowlolves that had stood between her and the alpha. She began to spin around with her blades extended ripping the six to threads. Ruby then rushed at the alpha with her weapons aiming for its neck. The alpha raised its bony arm to block it and was surprised when his arm was cut in two. The last thought on its mind before it was decapitated was fear. The remaining beowolves stopped and looked at her in fear before bowing down to their new alpha. Ruby was surprised as she remembered that the Grimm obey the alpha of their packs and the one that killed the leader of the pack that was grimm toke control of the pack. She looked around at her pack before barking a order to follow her. Ruby felt the power of being in control of her own pack and she loved it. As she led her pack from the forest to the place she know she could go to be alone but be able to control her grimm. She was going to Mountain Glenn, the failed settlement.
Well, this is both longer then I expected it to be and took longer to get out. The reason it took longer to get out was because of the bane of my existence, final exams. So, as a way of making up for it taking longer to get out, I made it longer and changed from the original plan. Also, this takes place before volume 2, so Team Ruby has yet to go to Mountain Glenn. So, hope you enjoy.
