"Alright, so the first episode is named 'Ruby Rose'. I won't say anything else, because spoilers. But grab a beverage, a snack, anything before we begin."

A few people got up to grab some chips while Ruby brought back a plate of cookies to her seat.

"Legends stories scattered through time."

Ozpin froze, recognising the voice. Salem stares emotionlessly at the screen. Others, confused on who the woman was.

"Mankind has grown quite fond of forecounting the exploits of heroes and villains. Forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts of a forgotten past. Man, born from dust was strong, wise, and resourceful. But he was born into an unforgiving world, an inevitable darkness, creatures of destruction; the creatures of Grimm.

Set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void. However, even the smallest spark of hope, is enough to ignite change. And in time, man's passion, resourcefulness, and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named, Dust.

Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness. And in the shadows, absence came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life.

But, even the most brilliant lights flicker and die."

"Yeah, you got Ben Franklin, he discovered electricity, the Wright Brothers who invented the plane. Lots of great inventors." Everyone in the room gave Raider a side eye stare. "It's important people from history, w-whatever, moving on!"

The scene shows present time, down in the streets of Vale, the shattered moon overhead. The screen lowers to see Roman Torchwick making his way down the road, Junior's lackeys behind him.

"Finally, something good is coming from this show." You all know who said that.

"And when they are gone, darkness will return. So you may prepare your guardians, build your monuments to a so-called 'free world', but take heed, there will be no victory in strength."

Citizens, gasp and move out of the way, letting the man pass. Roman makes his way to a small dust shop, called 'From Dust till Dawn'. As Roman burst open the door, another voice can be heard.

"But perhaps, victory is in the simpler things you long forgotten. Things that require a smaller, more honest soul."

The screen lowers from above to show Ruby in the back of the store, reading a magazine.

"That voice sounded like Professor Ozpin!" Pointed out Nora, now hearing it, the voice sounded awfully like Ozpin's. The kids turn and look back towards him, as well as Winter, Ironwood and Qrow.

"Why's your voice an echo?" Ozpin didn't say anything and gestured to the screen in front of them.

The men walk up to the front counter, one looking at the dust pipes while the other runs their gloved hand over the glass. Showing all the dust crystals in the case. It was then Roam stepped in between, and tapped the ashes on the glass.

"Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a dust shop, open this late?" The man on Roman's left pulls out a gun and points it at the poor old man.

"Please, just take my lien and leave." The man answers, putting his hands in the air and surrendering to the criminals.

"Sh, sh, sh, sh, calm down. We're not here for your money. Grab the dust."

"You barge into a poor guy's store and you don't even want any money to go with the robbery? Think of what you could have done with it?" Raider goes on, then chuckles. "Sorry, I tend to voice my comments and opinions with these things. So, deal with it!"

The men bring out a large briefcase and take out dust containers. Bringing them to the pipes, and gaining the dust till the tubes are full.

"Crystals, burn, uncut."

"That poor man," Pyrrha quietly says.

The shopkeeper proceeds to do as asked, taking the crystals from the glass. On the other side of the store, another man goes to a dust pipe, only to hear loud music from the back of the store.

"In comes Ruby! Who had no clue there was even a robbery." Ruby just blushed while Glynda shook her head.

The man sees Ruby listening to music with her back turned. He pulls out a red katana and points at Ruby with it. "Alright kid, put your hands where I can see em'."

She completely ignores him, agitating him. "Hey, I said hands in the air. You got a death wish or somethin'?"

He grabs her shoulder and trunks her around, revealing her headphones. It was then Ruby noticed him for the first time. He angrily points to what's on her ears.

Ruby takes them off, "Yes?"

"I said 'put your hands in the air' now!" Ruby just squints her eyes at the man. "Are you robbing me?"

"Let me tell you, that is one of the calmest interactions I've ever seen in a robbery." Ruby rubs her head with a nervous chuckle. Yang shook her head with a smile as well as the rest of her friends

"Yes!" The man screams in frustration, Ruby gives him a look. "Aahh," she held a certain smile to her face.

"He's in for it."

Roman was simply waiting at the front counter. "Hey-!" A whack was heard, then the man crashed through a window. Roman gestured towards the back and the same guy pulled a gun out on Ruby.

Scene showing the front of the shop, before the man is kicked out, Ruby following him. The others just stare outside.

All around the room came laughter. Roman sighed, rubbing his temples. That was the last time he ever used them.

The camera shows Ruby, with her weapon transforming into her scythe.

Most who've never seen her weapon held a look of shock.

She looks up at them, swings her scythe into the road, causing a dent and turns off her music.

Roman did nothing but stare before speaking, "Okay, get her." Gesturing towards the girl.

The first men attack, to which she hops on her scythe, kicking one in the face with both feet. Slicing the others, but not killing. She smashes one to the grand leaves, the last lying in front of Roman.

He just looks down disappointed, "You were worth every cent, truly you were." Roman focuses on Ruby, "Well, Red, I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening. And as much as I'd love to stick around, I'm afraid this is where we part ways." Pointing his cane at Ruby, he fires.

Ruby jumps out of the way to avoid the blast, only to see him gone. That is, until she sees him climbing up an escape ladder.

"For a blast that only distracted her for a few seconds, you got a far deal away from her." Roman smirked but didn't say anything.

Ruby turned and asked the shopkeeper, "You okay if I go after him?" He gave his permission, and she quickly ran.

"Why would you ask if you could go after him?"

Roman hops over the last bit of the ladder, Ruby right on his tail.

"Hey!"

"That was all you said? You could've had an awesome one liner!" Nora yelled. "It's not like she could come up with something in three seconds," Weiss yelled. Seeming like she was defending her.

"Bet Yang could, she's always jokes hanging off the tip of her tongue." Yang only yelled in triumph, "So you would count them as jokes!"

Ruby groaned, "They just aren't funny."

"Ruby, listen, I've seen a universe where there is a superhero who makes some kind of pun in every single one of fights. Whether it be a punchline or a joke he directs at his lady. But, either way, you wanna know why I laugh at Yang's jokes? Because they're either so bad they're funny, or that I laugh at her trying."

Yang didn't know if that was a good thing, but she'll take it. "So, you find my puns funny."

Raider shrugged, "Most of them are funny anyway, sometimes I would just laugh at the things people say or do in the show."

"Persistent,"Roman mutters under his breath. An airship makes itself known as it floats high above the air in front of the two. A light flashes in the girl's eyes as Roman boards the ship. "End of the line Red!" He holds up a fire crystal and proceeds to throw it at her feet.

He fires, but landing in front of Ruby was a woman with a purple cape. A large explosion goes off with red dust in the breeze.

Roman gives off an evil laugh, thinking the girl's dead.

"Roman over here, sounding like Super Mario!" Raider laughs at her own joke, while everyone stares at her confused.

Roman glares as he sees that Glynda has put up a protection field. Ruby looks amazed and Glynda pushes up her glasses, befores sending multiple attacks on the ship.

Roman starts losing his balance inside, he runs up to the cockpit and tells the pilot "We've got a huntress." Cinder runs to the back, Roman taking her place with the controls.

The ship tries to make its escape, but Glynda stops it, making a large gray cloud above. Roman looks above confused, Glynda lowers her arm, causing shards to rain down upon the ship. Glynda glares at Cinder when she makes herself known. Sending a blast of fire, which Glynda deflects.

Cinder sets up a platform of fire underneath Glynda. She avoids the attack as it comes out as a geyser of fire. Debris of the roof flew everywhere. She uses the debris to create a large shard with her levitation. Aiming at the ship, she sends it. Cinder destroys part but Glynda connects them together again.

She uses her power to where the shards surround the ship, but Cinder uses a large amount of power to send a heatwave of flames, effectively destroying the attack.

The two watch as the ship goes to make its escape, Ruby looking at the ship then Glynda. She pulls out her weapon and starts to open fire.

Glynda turns and glares at the girl.

Ruby scoffs, "Well, I couldn't just stand and do nothing! They were getting away!" Glynda wasn't going to continue the discussion, having a good idea of what might come next.

Cinder blocks every shot. Then, creating a semi-circle of the same attack from before, Glynda saves them both. The hatch closes and the ship makes its successful escape.

Glynda frowns, turning to Ruby, as well as watching the ship fly away. That was when Ruby turned to the woman, "You're a huntress, can I have your autograph?" Showing childlike excitement.

Yang lovingly shook her head. Some were smiling at the child.

Ruby is shown, having a face of regret. Sitting in a chair while behind her, Glynda began to scold her.

Some laughed at such a change in the scene.

"I hope you realize your actions tonight will not be taken lightly, young lady. You put yourself and others in great danger."

"What others? All there was a simple old man who barely got a scratch during this whole thing." Glynda sighed "Then that's a good thing that no one was injured during that event."

Ruby yelled in her defense, "They started it!"

Raider nodded her head with a hand to her chin, "Mhm, mhm, you make a very strong argument."

A few of the adults gave her a quizzical look. It was Winter who asked the question, "How old are you?"

Raider tsked, "Don't you know it's rude to ask a lady how old she is? My age doesn't matter, I will tell you this. I know when things get serious and you shouldn't joke. I just laugh a lot and make jokes when watching or reading."

"What kind of books do you read?" It was Blake who asked, not having talked much. "That is an off topic question, but I love fantasy, adventure and most of all romance. You may ask me what I read, but I know what you read. It wouldn't happen to involve ninjas, would it?"

Blake's face turns red as Raider sends her a mischievous look. Blake gained a look of panic when a familiar voice asked, "What's in the book with ninja's?" Kali looked at her daughter, while Ghira was the one who asked the question.

Raider waved her hand. "Oh! Nothing, just a bunch of action and stealth I presume." Blake sent Raider both a thankful and hateful look.

"If it were up to me, you'd be sent home with a pat on the back," Ruby's spirits lifted. "And a slap on the wrist," she finishes, proving her point by slapping the table. Startling Ruby.

"There's the Glynda I know."

"But, there is someone here who would like to meet you." She steps aside, allowing Ozpin to take the floor as he walks out of the doorway with a plate full of cookies and a coffee mug.

"Ruby Rose, you have silver eyes."He says, moving closer to observe her. Ruby looks confused, not knowing what to say.

"So where did you learn to do this?" He says, referring to the screen that showed her fight against the lackeys.

"Signal Academy," Ruby meekly responded.

"They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?"

"Well, one teacher in particular."

Qrow started to puff out his chest with pride.

"I see," he says, placing a plate of cookies down in front of Ruby.

Ruby grabs one and slowly eats it, before continuously shoving the rest in her mouth.

"If you were to do that, it could only lead to a severe stomachache." All eyes turn to Penny, who looks at the screen in a very concentrated stare. "Um, yeah?"

"Haha, yep, you are correct Penny!" Nervously laughing, she tries to take the heat off Penny. Raider snickering, watching the whole scene. People are gonna find out she's a robot anyways, but they can wait for the surprise until then.

"It's just that I've only seen one other scythe wielder of that skill before, dusty old crow."

"Oh, fats ma uncole," Ruby says, her mouth filled to the brim with cookies. Ozpin just looks at her unimpressed. She clears her throat before trying again. "Sorry, that my uncle Qrow, he's a teacher at Signal, I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing."

"Really admiring the self-confidence there Ruby!"

Yang wraps an arm around her sister, "Yeah, lighten up, you weren't complete garbage!"

"You learned quickly Ruby, so don't take your skills for granted kiddo."

"And now, I'm all like *Proceeds to make ninja noise, and motions*." Ozpin sets his mug on the table, "So I've noticed. And what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?"

"Well, I want to be a huntress," Plain and simple. "You want to slay monsters?"

"Yeah, I only have two more years of training left at Signal, and then I'm going to apply to Beacon. You see, my sister is starting there this year and she's trying to become a huntress, and I'm trying to become a huntress because I want to help people. And my parents always taught us to help others, so I thought 'Hm might as well make a career out of it'. I mean, the police are alright, but huntsmen and huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and cool and just jfhg! Y'know?" The screen zones more on Ruby the more she talks. Then switches to Glynda looking dissatisfied.

"You know, you remind of Marinette when she goes on rambling, overthinking the worst possibilities, always thinking of the worst outcome of the situation. But you're more positive."

Others laugh at Ruby's childish demeanor.

"Do you know who I am?"

"A man with snow on the roof and a very, very, very old soul." Raider says, seeing Ozpin's expression change to shock. Does she-? Not being able to finish his thought, "I know buddy, and let me say, neither you or your old girlfriend have clean hands."

"You're Professor Ozpin, you're the Headmaster at Beacon." Ozpin just smiles,"Hello."

"Nice to meet you."

"You want to come to my school?"

"More than anything."

Ozpin looks at Glynda but she just rolls her eyes in disapproval.

"Well okay."

"So that's the story of you getting in. Old me would have thought you snuck your way into Beacon." Jaune just sweated nervously, Pyrrha looking over at him and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze.

The screen changes to showing Ruby's facing lighting up, but looks to pain the next. Getting crushed by her sister in a hug. "Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me, this is the best day ever!"

"Please stop," Ruby asks, her voice sounding a little forced. Yang let's go, and excitedly bounces on her toes, "But I'm so proud of you!"

"Really, sis, it was nothing."

"Nothing!? What you did was incredible!" Nora yells through the room. "You can't put yourself down for every accomplishment Ruby," Ren says, following Nora, but trying to help her keep her voice down.

"What do you mean? It was incredible! Everyone at Beacon is gonna think you're the bee's knees!"

"I don't want to be the bees knees, I don't want to be any kind of knees. I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees."

"What's with you? Aren't you excited?" Ruby scoffs at the question, "Of course I'm excited, I just… I got moved ahead two years, I don't want people to think I'm special or anything."

Yang brings Ruby in for a side hug, "Of course you're special." The voice of a man broke the moment between the two.

"Man, the moment was getting cute, too."

"The robbery was led by nefarious criminal, Roman Torchwick. Who continues to evade authorities, if you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department. Back to you Lisa." The screen changes to show a woman with qhite hair and green eyes. "Thank you Cyril, in other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights Protest turned dark. When members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now disrupted-"

The feed was cut, in its place showing Glynda.

"Why do I feel like that would have given us important information if it wasn't cut."

"Hello, and welcome to Beacon."

"Who's that?" Yang asks, eyeing her sister.

"My name is Glynda Goodwitch."

"Oh."

Laughs came from all around the room, Glynda just sighed and shook her head.

"You are among the privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace."

"Tell that to all the grimm roaming the world, oh and how about all the criminals, the protests going on. And another thing, this goes for Mantle and Atlas. How about all the homeless and starving toddlers roaming the streets, while there are hoity toity rich people living above the clouds in total satisfaction!" Raider says, screaming to the people in the middle. All being directed at the Schnee family and Ironwood.

Eyes in the room widening at both the outburst and some hearing that information. "Not to mention you have her," Raider points at Salem, "Walking around the damn planet." There was a pause before Raider sat back down. "But, I'm not from your world, so I don't know all your problems."

"You have appeared to have gone into painstaking detail, like you were foreshadowing the inevitable."

"Inevitable…" Looking towards Pyrrha and Penny, Raider looked as if she was about to cry. "It's always redheads, I swear, if they make Ruby one of them. Rooster Teeth is gonna have some serious issues to deal with," Raider mumbled. Roman wasn't one Raider cared for, but he was still stuck to the category.

"And as future huntsmen and huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task. And now, it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." The hologram faded, as Ruby looked amazed, taking a view out the window.

"Look, you can see Signal from up here." The camera rapidly backs up to show the school. Then switching back to the point with Yang and Ruby. "I guess home isn't too far after all."

Yang places a hand on Ruby's left shoulder. "Beacon's our home now."

The sound of gagging is heard. Showing Jaune looking as he's about to hurl. Walking across the ship, trying to hold it in.

"Well, I guess the view isn't for everyone."

"It was a nice moment while it lasted."

The view changes to showing the outside of all ships, showing Beacon on a cliff in the distance. "I wonder who we're gonna meet." Ruby responds in an uninterested tone, "I just hope they're better than vomit-boy. Oh, Yang, gross! You have puke on your shoe!"

Yang repeatedly yells out gross while Ruby tells her to get it away from her.

The screen fades to black as it shows the intro to the volume.

Ruby kneeling in front of her mother's tombstone. Her cloak fading into petals. A figure stands in front of her, her cloak dispersing white petals before the figure fades as well as the shattered moon.

Ruby speeds off, in comes a white screen showing the words 'RWBY'.

Going to Weiss she stood in a spotlight, the camera roaming around her. Then, to Blake, she stands on the branch of a tree in the red forest, before disappearing. Yang is shown on a sidewalk looking at her scrolls with a look of determination, speeding off with her motorcycle the next second.

A large amount of grimm is seen, running towards the camera. A nevermore gives way to a transition, showing Roman and men behind him. A wall of fire burns up the screen, Cinder and two others behind her in dark silhouettes. The screen enhances her one yellow eye.

Going to a large black portal overhead of Team Rwby, facing off shadows with red eyes. Camera spinning to show each and every one of them. The portal blasts, coming down in the middle of them, forcing them to retreat backwards.

The four attack towards the portal and it switches to show Jaune standing in front of a statue solemnly, that shows two individuals standing on a rock. One in a cloak and the other proudly holding out a sword, a beowulf at the bottom.

Showing his face, a hand lands on his left shoulder, presenting Pyrrha and the rest of his team.

Changing again, Ozpin and Glynda look at the horizon side by side on the front of a ship that the camera shows a full body of after zooming out.

The screen goes to show Ruby, behind her is her rose symbol, Weiss and her snowflake symbol, Blake and her fire symbol, and finally Yang with her fireheart symbol.

Finally, showing Ozpin and Glynda, the camera zooms out. Passing by all the characters, ending on Ruby who turns into a shadow silhouette before posing her scythe behind her. The title 'RWBY' is shown next to her head, the screen fading into darkness.

The lights in the room turned on completely and some hiss at the blinding light. First episode, what did y'all think?"

"That was awesome! Are all of them gonna be like this?" Yang screamed out, wincing and apologizing to Blake afterwards. "Well, the episodes will get more serious as the volumes progress. The volume three finale, that's when shit starts getting real."

"How real?" Raider nervously chuckles, "No spoilers!"

People gave her an incredulous look. "Now, who's ready for the next episode?"
