Chapter 3: Initiation

Ruby had to agree with her cousin that the view from Vale did not do any justice. Beacon was a glorified palace, in a good way of course. Ddraig had even commented how the palace would've been fit for a dragon to preside. Then again, there is going to be a dragon making herself home here at Beacon, and her name is Ruby Rose-Branwen.

"So, uh, now that we're here, I think I should state the obvious that you need to go make some new friends." Yang suddenly spoke up, if a little nervously.

Ruby gave Yang a quirked eyebrow before the question fully processed through her head. Her eyebrows furrowed and her green eyes turned into slits glaring at the blonde. The stare made the elder cousin start to sweat bullets.

"Yang." Ruby almost snarled out.

"J-Just hear me out." Yang said, trying to not stumble on her words. "As much as you don't want to hear it, you need to have some friends and I can't always be there for you."

"Oh, please." Ruby drawled out with an eye roll. "The only reason I don't have any friends is because everyone at Signal was terrified of me. These green eyes aren't exactly friendly, and I'm pretty sure after what did to Mike in that sparring session sealed the deal."

Yang tried to find an excuse. "Well, maybe it'll be different here now since everyone's a bit older than you."

"Perhaps." Muttered Ruby. "But I - And she's gone!"

The second that Ruby turned back to Yang, she was gone to the wind. Looking around, Ruby found the familiar head of blonde hair swept by a crowd of people heading to the designation for new students. The dragoness could only sigh; she was fine being left to her own devices.

'It's not like I'm introverted or anything.' Ruby thought in slight denial. 'I can make friends when I want to. And I've got you, Ddraig.'

[Damn right, partner.] Ddraig said. [By the way, bitchy princess at six o' clock.]

"Huh?" That was Ruby could get out before her instincts screamed at her to dodge. She jumped into a flip out of the way of a cart stacked with white briefcases. At the head of it was a 17-year-old teenager who was shorter than Ruby standing at 5'3" with ice blue eyes and long white hair tied into a pontail. The young woman wore a thigh-length white strapless dress with a bolero over it. A vertical scar went over Weiss' left eye, and Ruby took note of the black lace she could see at the top of her A-cup chest.

"Excuse me, could you please move out of the way?" Asked the teenager in a stern tone.

Ruby smiled coyly as she pointed to the young woman's chest. "Black lace. How very daring of you."

The Ice Queen sputtered for a few moments. She managed to composed her face into a scowl but that did not stop the blush of embarrassment on her face. With a huff, the teenager fixed her look and hid the lace away.

"I suppose I should thank you for saving me from anymore embarrassment." The teenager thanked reluctantly. "Forgive my lack of manners. I am-"

Ruby already knew who she was and interrupted. "Weiss Schnee, heiress of the Schnee Dust Company."

At the shocked expression on Weiss' face, Ruby explained. "Don't look so surprised. The white hair is basically be a trademark giveaway of your family, and news tends to travel fast when the heiress goes to Vale instead of Atlas."

At hearing this, Weiss' posture seemed to slump down in depression, possibly from reemerging memories. Ruby frowned actually feeling bad for the heiress. Against her better judgement and her inexperience in socializing, Ruby approached Weiss and rested a comforting hand on her shoulder. On contact, Weiss' eyes snapped to attention to green eyes. The Schnee had a shiver at the power that was hidden behind them.

"For the record, I don't blame you for running away to Vale." Ruby consoled, surprising Weiss with her words. "Your father certainly doesn't exactly paint himself as a very respectful man. I can't imagine how it is living like that with the snake on legs. So take comfort in the fact that I understand what you are going through, and I respect you for wanting to make a name for yourself."

These wise words were also a result from Ruby's training with the past wielders of the Boosted Gear. More accurately, it was the culmination of their experiences, giving Ruby vast understanding of the workings of the world. The meditation to do this would generate dragon magic like a beacon, but yet again no one would notice as a perk of being in Remnant. When Ruby looked into Weiss' eyes, she saw her whole story. As they say, the eyes are the window to the soul.

"I..." Weiss tried to say but was at a loss of words. "Thank you."

"No problem." Ruby perked up. "If you need my help to, let's say kick your dad off his high horse, give me a call."

Weiss actually smiled at the proposition, imagining her father taken down a peg or two. Brutally if she may add. She cut her thoughts off when she realized that she never got Ruby's name.

"I'm sorry, I never got your name." Weiss said.

"Ruby Rose-Branwen." The Red Dragon Empress introduced herself.

'Take that Yang, I can totally make friends.' Ruby thought in victory.

Weiss' eyes widened in recognition and she was suddenly jumping on her tippy-toes. "Are you related to Qrow Branwen, the legendary veteran Huntsman unmatched in skill and prowess."

"I'm his daughter." Ruby revealed, and to prove her point she pulled out her scroll with a picture of Ruby on one of her birthdays with the father and daughter cutting the cake together. With a scythe of course.

Weiss was left gawking at the information that she was talking to the daughter of one of Remnant's greatest warriors. She was about to spill out a hundred questions, but her lips were sealed by Ruby placing a finger on them.

"C'mon, we're going to be late if we just talk in one place." Ruby said, then she glanced to the side. "What are you doing sitting there all alone? The more merrier."

Who Ruby was referring was another young woman sitting alone on a bench. The woman had fair skin, wavy black hair, and amber eyes with a bow on the top of her head that looked like cat ears. She wears a black, buttoned vest with coattails over a high necked, crop undershirt. She wore boots with stockings that were a very dark purple. Sheathed on her back was a cleaver with a gun hilt.

What most people would not notice was that she was a cat Faunus. For Ruby, it was easy to identify the smell of cat on the woman and deduce that she was hiding her cat ears under the bow.

Seeing that she was called over, the disguised Faunus had no choice but to follow Ruby and the Schnee. A voice in the back of her mind was telling her that it was just spite, but she could not help but hate the heiress. The company she was entitled would also make her inherit the cruelty the Faunus have faced under them. Taking a deep breath to push those thoughts away, the Faunus walked on the right side of Ruby, which was as much distance from Weiss as possible walking at Ruby's left. But once she got close to Ruby, she caught a scent that wasn't human and more reptilian.

'Could she be hiding her features like I am?' The Faunus assumed.

"It would be nice to know you're name." Ruby suggested.

"Blake Belladonna." Answered the cat Faunus, then leaning over to Ruby's ear to whisper. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Shoot." Ruby said.

"Are you a Faunus?" Blake whispered soft enough that Weiss didn't hear.

The sudden question hit Ruby like one of Great Red's punches. She stopped dead in her tracks, her eyes wide, and her mind soaring at a millions of miles.

'Shit.' Thought Ruby. 'I never thought a Faunus could sniff me out. I thought I was still at least half-human so that my dragon scent would be masked.'

[Actually since last week you're three-quarters dragon.] Ddraig informed. [The process has been accelerating more than I thought.]

'Are you seriously fucking telling me this now?!' Ruby outraged internally.

"It's okay." Blake consoled. "I understand if you want to stay silent."

"...Fine." Ruby growled out.

"Hi." Spoke Vomit Boy who decided to join in. "Name's Jaune. Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue. Ladies love it. Uh, do you mind if I tag along?"

"You may." Ruby agreed, before leveling a glare upon Jaune. "Try to barf on us and I'll punch you all the way to the tower."

"Yes, ma'am." Jaune squeaked.

(Theatre)

Weiss, Blake, Jaune, and Ruby arrived at the theatre and went their separate ways. Ruby found spotted Yang easily in the crowd, who was saving a spot for the dragoness.

"So how's your first day going so far?" Yang asked.

"You mean after ditching me?" Ruby corrected with a certain edge to her voice, but only to turn smug. "Great actually. The moment you left I met some new folks by the name of Weiss and Blake."

Yang let out a sigh of relief. "Thank the gods. You know, for a second there, I thought you were going to do something to me."

"Ha-ha-ha, oh my dear cousin." Ruby chuckled darkly. "What makes you think you're in the clear?"

Yang paled instantly and gulped. "I'm sorry."

All attention switched to the stage where Headmaster Ozpin walked up to the microphone. Ruby quirked a curious eyebrow as she could not catch his scent. The only logical conclusion the dragoness reached was this was a hologram recording for all of the first-years.

"I'll make this brief." Ozpin started. "You have traveled here today in the pursuit of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you finish, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy."

'Ah, if only you knew, Ozpin. If only you knew.' Ruby thought. You don't call it wasted energy when you have the capability of blowing up mountains.

"-in need of purpose and direction." Ozpin continued. "You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first steps."

Those words of wisdom would work on green students, but Ruby was far more than ordinary. Training Ddraig not only made her stronger, but also gave her a depth of understanding that a few in their lifetimes will ever achieve. She already has more power than all the Huntsmen and Huntresses in the world. The only reason Ruby came to Beacon was to finish her education and become legitimate. Because no one suspects a 15-year-old to be the most powerful in the world.

Ruby idly wondered if there was anyone in Remnant that can give her a challenge anymore. The only time she had even bled was when she was a eleven in a sparring match against Yang, and even then she was only ten percent dragon and could keep up with her sister in hand-to-hand combat. Maybe it was her dragon instincts, but Ruby has been having this urge to find a worthy fight, to utterly feel the inkling of defeat and push her limits. Sure, she could just meditate to have a mental spar with one of the previous hosts, but it was either the same thing or, with those like Elsha, a complete loss. After all, Ddraig had told her that Ruby could only be considered in the top 500 in Earth, and she was no Satan.

In short, Remnant was too little in strength to even stand a chance against any of the supernatural factions from Earth. The world was just lucky that Ruby was the first to be born with a Longinus Sacred Gear. She was Remnant's only defender.

After 'Ozpin' was finished, Glynda stepped forward to announce. "You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed."

"Oh goody, a sleepover." Ruby dryly commented in sarcasm. That only meant one thing.

(Night; Ballroom)

Ruby was lying on her sleeping bag, which was right next to Yang. The blonde cousin was looking at the dragoness in worry. The reason was the mad twitching in her eyes. She was right to hate this. Maybe God was alive, traveled to Remnant, and was shitting on her life. Her source of irritation slowly boiling into an eruption can be summarized into a question.

Why did they have both the girls and the boys sleep in the same place?! It would've been so easy to have them bring tents for separate sleeping spaces, but no! They rather leave a bunch of teenagers with unchecked hormones in the same fucking place. And that made eyes roam, or, more accurately, made every teenage boy drool on sight of Ruby solely, who was wearing her white skin suit that revealed all of her curves and massive bust.

It was fact that Ruby was the most beautiful in the group of first-years here, even compared to Yang, and in more ways than one. Having the body of one of the supernatural races, Ruby naturally has a far higher sex appeal than humans will ever have. Female dragons are especially more endowed than even most devils and only surpassed by higher echelons of Yokai. She can deal with jealous stares from those of the same gender, but the stares from males was just so irritating. Not to be cryptic, but the reason the stares bothered Ruby so much is because they were all simply too weak to be worthy of courting her. Her instincts as a dragon were demanding to do away with them if these insects don't learn their own league. It was taking all her will power to not unleash a Rose Dragon's Roar(1) on the poor souls.

"Must not kill. Must not burn. Most not maim. Must not castrate." And so went the mantra that Ruby was muttering.

"Ruby, just settle down." Yang tried to calm down Ruby. "You're in a happy place. There isn't anyone staring at you."

Unfortunately, Yang's hopes were diminished when a particularly smug teenager with a burly build decided to actually approach the hazard that he was ignorant to, and unlike everyone else hadn't changed out of his armor. With the grin on his face, Yang fully understood why Ruby hated being stared at by boys. It was like they were dressing her down.

"Hey babe. Name's Cardin." The smug soon-to-be-dead man introduced himself, reaching a hand to touch Ruby. "How say we-"

He was interrupted when Ruby's hand shot out and gripped the offending the limb. Cardin was going to protest until everyone heard the tall-tale sound of creaking metal. That metal being the type that can withstand a stampeding Goliath herd that made up Cardin's gauntlet... and was being crushed in Ruby's grip like it was paper.

"What the - Let go... of me... you..." Cardin growled out only to trail off into a whimper when he saw Ruby's eyes. In those silver pupils ringed in green fire, he saw things that man should have forgotten in their nightmares. They showed Cardin his destiny of what was to come if he continued on his intentions. This especially involved a dragon with crimson scales and green eyes standing on all fours and was as long as fifty meters. He saw himself surrounded by the most hungry of crimson flames. Cardin started to actually cry as he saw himself clawed, crushed, and burned by the dragon before she ate him, her teeth tearing out his innards as they flailed around before swallowing him down the gullet.

(Cue "Fuck This Shit I'm Out")

Cardin made the wise decision and fucked right off. Ruby let the boy go, and Cardin fled away, screaming as he did. He wasted no time running to his sleeping space, grabbing all of his shit, and running as far away from the monster.

All the other initiates could do was stare wide-eyed at Ruby, who with just a stare made Cardin run as though Death himself was coming for him. The abject terror that he displayed gave them all the same idea to be on Ruby's good side lest they see what happened when she snaps. For the unfortunate soul of that event, everyone present would've been witnessed to a very gruesome show of a very angry dragon.

Once they heard the echo of door slamming shut and the distancing cries of terror of Cardin, Ruby stood up and packed her own things to move the farthest away from the boys. Thus leaving a sad Yang.

(Song should be done by now.)

Ruby found such a spot that was luckily with Blake wearing a grey robe. Without a word, Ruby reset her sleeping mat, making sure to avoid the lit candle Blake used as a reading light. Blake did not bother giving a glance to Ruby, already knowing who she was via scent. The dragoness had already went into the sleeping bag, content to sleep the rest of the night away. But she could sense the curiosity from Blake.

"Blake," Ruby whispered, "you wanted why I am hiding my trait?"

Blake reluctantly nodded and Ruby explained. "Let's just say of what I am makes me bizarre to other Faunus. And not the good kind."

The cat Faunus' eyes widened in shock. "You don't mean..."

"For all I know, I'm the last of my kind." Ruby lied. "We were shunned, feared by all, and in very ancient times hunted for superstitious reasons for certain parts of our anatomy to... consume. Even the Faunus didn't spare us."

As Blake heard more from Ruby, the more her heart seemed to sink. To think that Faunus would even hunt a different race of sentient beings and for such a barbaric reason threatened bile to rise up. It showed Blake just how flawed both sides were, and what the hatred the White Fang have embraced can lead to.

"I..." Blake tried to apologize for finding out Ruby's secret. "I shouldn't have-"

"Save it!" Ruby interrupted, not bothering to glance to the Faunus. "You weren't there and it was a long time ago."

"When you said that you are bizarre even to Faunus," Blake said, "is it because you also smell of brimstone?"

"Hopefully, you'll never find out." Ruby replied and left no room for conversation.

[A bit harsh, don't you think?] Ddraig said.

'Oh stuff it, you giant lizard.' Ruby retorted. It wasn't exactly false. Throughout history, dragons have been the most targeted in the supernatural world.

With nothing left to say, Blake blew out the candle and darkness descended on the future students of Beacon academy.

(Emerald Forest)

Ruby stood on a platform at the edge of a cliff. At both sides was her fellow initiates formed up into a line and ready for battle. She was dressed the same as she was yesterday with both Crescent Rose and Moon Dragon sheathed behind her. Her eyes scanned the Emerald Forest below her like a hawk. Her dragon eyes allowed Ruby to pick out even the smallest of details, including the Grimm that were waiting in ambush. She grinned wildly in excitement to tear them apart and relieve some stress after these days.

The dragoness blocked out most of the dialog from Ozpin and Glynda, only picking up on certain key facts. Such as the way teams are being formed via eye contact, and the use of a landing strategy. The latter was a given with the launch pad she was standing on.

Poor Jaune was in no way shape or form prepared for this.

The launch pads started flinging students off, starting from the far left and at slow pace. Ruby crouched down in a stance so she can launch with her feet at the exact time as the launch pad sends her off. Her leg muscles clenched ready to release the strength of a dragon that was about to go into flight. When it was her turn, Ruby couldn't help but let out the roar of thrill as she felt the wind rushed passed her. The others could only stare at just how much distance Ruby got compared to the others.

Meanwhile, Ruby was lost in her own world. Being in the sky felt so right for her, and Ddraig and her inner dragon roared in agreement. She had to hold back from releasing her wings to catch the wind. No point in spooking the teachers that one of their students is a dragon with a weapon with a Heavenly Dragon from another world. Yeah, that would be a very awkward conversation.

Her attention focused back to a shuffle of the trees below her, followed by the appearance of a raven heading right for her. Ruby grinned so wildly that it revealed her fangs.

'Sorry, birdie, but these are my skies.' Ruby thought as she opened her jaw.

The raven did not know what happened as Ruby passed by leaving only its feathers. She withdrew Moon Dragon and used to loop around a branch for a safe landing. Once on the ground, Ruby stood up revealing her overly puff cheeks that held the previous bird from before. It tried to escape but it was no use as with just a twitch of her jaw all of its bones were crushed and she swallowed the snack to her gullet. Thanks to her dragon stomach, Ruby can eat anything that was organic or even fire, so the feathers, bones, and skin wouldn't be a problem. She wiped her lips of the blood from her latest kill and sprinted through the forest with her Semblance as lightning and rose petals danced in her wake.

Ruby sniffed the air of the scents that were near her. To her disappointment, Yang was the farthest and Blake was the closest to her cousin, so no use having family for a partner. Pyrrha was nearing Jaune's location. She was not bothering with any of the fodder like Cardin, and she knew that Nora and Ren need to stick together, mostly so that whoever has Nora doesn't go crazy. That only left Weiss Schnee, the scent was the closest.

Speak of the dead Satans, Weiss was right in front of her. Ruby dug her feet into the ground to stop her velocity, digging a scar into the ground as she went. Weiss turned back in time to lock her gaze onto Ruby's emerald eyes, officially making them partners.

Weiss smiled. "Well, you aren't the worst choice."

"What, no parade for Weiss' new partner?" Ruby joked, walking alongside the Schnee. "So... any idea where to go?"

"I was thinking... that way." Weiss said, pointing in a random direction that was not north.

"Weiss, not to rain on you, but that's south." Ruby interjected. "We're supposed to go north."

Weiss' eyes narrowed. "How would you know that?"

"Easy." Ruby said, pointing up to the sky. "You see, the sun always rises from the west. Since it's still morning, that means the sun isn't at its peak in the sky yet. So by going by that, I simply follow where the sun rose from, indicating that is west. Which means north is," Ruby paused to point behind her, "That way."

Weiss blinked in astonishment. "How?"

"At our core, us Branwens are natural survivors." Ruby said. "There will be a time when you won't have your weapon or even a Scroll with you."

Weiss sighed. "Color me impressed, Ruby."

"The pleasure is all mine, Weiss." Ruby said with a dramatic bow. "C'mon, maybe we can beat the others and be the first to enter Beacon."

Weiss could not help but shake her head in amusement as she followed the Red Dragon Empress. She really wanted to partner up with the Mistralian champion, but Ruby had already proven to be a competent partner. She was intuitive, and, if anything from last night, a fierce combatant. She had no idea how lucky she was to partner up with Remnant's strongest defender.

(Elsewhere)

"Is the barrier ready yet?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Good. Soon we will have a foothold on this world and its riches."

"Lucky us that some human fools have come. Some of them quite lovely looking."

"Oh I agree. They will make excellent slaves."

"What of the dragon, my lord. She doesn't make her presence and she has shown to be Ultimate-class, possibly on par with the Dragon Kings."

"I will deal with the dragon myself. I doubt that her power is that much to equal a Dragon King. You all can have fun with the humans. Kill them if you want but leave the women alive. For the will of Lord Lucifer."

"For Lord Lucifer."

Oh shit, they are in trouble. And by they, I mean the arrogant devils that have no idea the hell they have stepped into trespassing into a dragon's territory. Of course, this will feature Ruby's first real fight against someone from the DxD universe, who will also be Ultimate-class as well. You know, give them a fair chance... before they start screaming for mercy. I am an evil sonuvabitch like that.

Rose Dragon's Roar (1) - A dragon's breath attack unique to Ruby Rose that allows her to breath out a torrent of dark crimson flames. The ground itself will be left burning as though a meadow of roses was freshly planted.

But this event will also reveal Ruby to her teammates and JNPR of what she really is. That will certainly be a big shock. You know I am kind of surprised there's no fanfiction that is centered around Ruby as an OP character. Seeing this severe lack, I was like fuck it give her the Boosted Gear in a crossover and here we are. She's so underrated and needs more love.

Up next is Chapter 4: New Visitors.
