Chapter 2: Ruby


Ruby POV

"Our first REAL mission! This is so awesome!" I thought to myself, unable to stop my excitement, watching as our transport got closer to the ground.

"We still gotta meet up with Goodwitch first Ruby, calm down" Yang said behind me, "What?! How did you-?" "It's easy to tell what you're thinking Ruby, you're not exactly a sophisticated person, not like Blake here" Weiss responded.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked just before we landed, doors beginning to open, "Show time ladies" Yang butted in as the light from outside poured in, revealing two adults.

"Huntresses?" a woman's voice called out, signaling for us to come down, "Aaand, who are you supposed to be?" another voice asked, to me it seemed. As the leader, I guess it made sense to answer first, "I'm Ruby?" "Damn it, that sounded dumb!" "Umm Headmaster Ozpin sent me-" "US" Weiss corrected me. "Us! Right! Us ahem we were told to tell both of you that you must get back to Beacon immediately, there's an emergency" I finished, trying my best not to look like a fool in front of my new teacher.

Speaking first, the oddly, but cool, dressed guy made his statement first, "Well I don't know if you've noticed, but we're in a bit of an emergency right here!" surprising Professor Goodwitch for a moment, "Yes, our communications have been a bit, unreliable, but we've been calling for help" she explained.

Just as I was about to answer, Weiss explained our side, "Headmaster Ozpin hadn't heard from you so, he sent us to deliver the message" "sigh" "Oh great, they don't even know we're in-trouble" the teen, Huntsman? said with a slight annoyance.

"Maybe you can relay a signal through the cruiser that just dropped us off?" I spoke up, earning a few looks, "...Bad idea?"


"Well, I guess we'll have to hold out a little longer" the cool looking Huntsman said, crossing his arms, "Very awkward now" I thought.

"My apologies, young ones" Goodwitch spoke up, making her way over, "It's time for a proper introduction"

"I'm-we're!" "Dang it!" "The new students here, we're Team RWBY, I'm Ruby Rose" "That...sounded weird" "I'm Professor Goodwitch, your new teacher" she answered politely. "We're at your service Professor Goodwitch, but I'm afraid we've actually been assigned to 'Master' Skywalker" Weiss interjected, not really happy with this situation.

"What?! No no no no no no no no, there must be some mistake, she's the one who wanted the students" the guy, Skywalker apparently, said back, protesting the idea. "Wait! That's Anakin Skywalker?!" my mind raced, panicking a little, "Calm down! Calm down! Don't look dumb in front of someone this famous!" "Nope" Yang butted in, "Headmaster Ozpin was specific, we're assigned to Anakin Skywalker, and he is to supervise our Huntress training" she finished, flashing a smirk.

Not paying attention to the conversation, I whispered to my sister, "Yang! Please don't make us look sill-"

"We'll have to sort this out later, it won't be long before those Grimm figure out a way around our defenses" Professor Goodwitch said aloud, getting the more important topic back on track.

"I'll check out things on the lookout post" Anakin said, making his way there, "You better take them with you" Goodwitch reminded him, pretty much annoying him a little further.

"This...might not be the mission I imagined"


"Oh boy..." I thought, feeling Anakin's presence nearby.

"Your reckless little one, you never would've made it as Goodwitch's student"

I sighed to myself, taking in his words, hoping Yang won't get angry with him, after all, it was my accident. "But you might make it as mine" "Wait what?" Those words snapping me out of my train of thoughts.

"All of you" He added, looking around at the others, met back with surprised reactions, "Come on" he finished, making his way back to Miss Goodwitch. "Welp.., that was something" Yang spoke up, watching Anakin head off, "So are we...? Is he our new teacher now?" Blake replied with a confused look, I swear that bow of hers moved.

"This...is...UGH! Unbelievable" Weiss commented, following after him with an attitude, "Well she's mad, as always" Yang said to no-one in particular, "Come on Ruby" she followed after them.

"Coooooool.." lost in my own world, "Master Skywalker..."


Another day, another mission, "...Ow" I muttered as I was moved on a stretcher, "Told you not to rush in like that Ruby" Yang teased, "Don't..remind me" I answer back, frowning as I see Anakin approach us.

"Fantastic job today Rubes"

"Well, all thanks to your training Master" I replied with a small smile, not trying to look clumsy. "Yeah, you're right, I probably do deserve most of the credit" he joked. "Unbelievable.." "But not all of it" He reminded me.

"Heh" "Good thing, I know you don't mean 'everything' you say" I replied, holding back my smile.


"You'll...be okay? Right?" I asked Anakin, who was getting ready for another dangerous rescue mission, "He'll be fine Ruby, he IS a Jedi after all" Yang reassured me. "I know that it's just...with Blake gone I...don't think I can lose another friend.." I explained sadly, crossing my arms and looking down, "Ruby" Anakin said, walking over to me "What happened to Blake...I'll never let it happen to either of you, as your Master, it's my responsibility" he explained.

Still unconvinced, he went to light up the mood, "Besides, someone has to save the Chancellor" he smiled, "Plus, Atlas isn't TOO far away, I'll be back soon" my master finished, heading to the door.

"...Anakin"

He turned to me, "May the Force be with you" I told him.

Hours Later

"ANAKIN!" I yelled in panic, sitting up in bed, panting heavily as I remembered what had happened, "Oh...a nightmare, so much for a light nap..." I said to myself, getting out of bed and heading to the bathroom.

"Agh.." I placed a hand on my head, feeling a slight pain, no, it was discomfort, an uneasy feeling.

"vrmmmm..." The sound of a lightsaber fills my head, "Heh?! Who's there?!" I quickly turn around and ask, to no response. "What was that-"

"It's not the Jedi way..."

"Anakin?!" I yelled, looking around for where his voice was coming from.

"...must stand trial..!" "...POWER..!" "What have I done?!"

"Agh!" I clutch my head, panic starting to set in as I feel something horrible about to come, "...Anakin!"
