Chapter 11: Snuffing the Torch Out

The plan for tonight went as such, with just the addition of Sun, and his blue-haired friend, Neptune. They were all paired for the shared assignments. Ruby and Yang would go the red district to look up any information on the White Fang. If Ruby was anything else, Yang would have protest bringing Ruby along. Yet, the red light district may as well be a friendly neighborhood compared to the dragoness. It also worked for Ruby that she would be the farthest away from Beacon.

Weiss and Neptune were paired to go to the CCT tower to look up what Dust shipments have been raided. However, Ruby could see that Weiss was not happy being paired up as Neptune constantly tried to hit on her. Blake and Sun will go and infiltrate a White Fang meeting since they are Faunus. Ruby herself could pose as a Faunus herself, but she didn't want any chance of her secret being found out. Not unless another supernatural army invaded Vale.

Riding on the back of her cousin's motorcycle, Ruby studied the surroundings of the red light district around her. Just as she expected it to be: shitty living conditions, broken windows, and garbage all over. As expected of humans that end up destroying themselves.

Yang parked at a sidewalk near a familiar building, then it clicked in her head. This was the same place Ruby found Yang when she saw her cousin punch a guy off the second floor. She also remembered Yang complimenting the drinks. May as well try them as well.

Don't judge. Drinking booze runs in the family, in a good way. And who said Qrow was the only drinking parent? Her parents certainly had fun.

Ruby followed Yang to a set of solid iron doors where two bouncers were keeping watch. Those very same bouncers that looked an awful like the thugs that Ruby brutalized when she first encountered Torchwick. They however abandoned their posts, fled inside, and locked down the doors with a power lock as soon as they saw Yang.

"Looks like they don't like you." Ruby noted dryly.

Yang could only nervously laugh. Ruby sighed, taking charge of the situation as she approached the locked iron doors. Seems that whatever Yang did here they really didn't want her back, and they certainly knew how to do it. Unfortunately, they weren't ready for a dragon.

Ruby's silver pupils turned into slits. Her hands jabbed into the crease between the doordoor with a loud crunch. Six inch Dust-made steel proved to be paper to the strength of a dragon. Yang watched with awe and envy watching her cousin pry a door open that was built to keep an Atlesian mech out. The doors could only creak and the hinges spark against Ruby's forceful entry. With one final push, the doors were aside and Yang made her entrance.

"Guess who's back?"

None of the guards made a move on the blonde, too petrified in fear that the woman with her had enough strength to pry open an industrial door. Even now, they had to stop fainting under the woman's cold gaze that they knew will give them nightmares. The one that Yang and Ruby came her made his appearance pushed through the crowd, revealing himself to be a man in his thirties with a black beard by the name of Junior.

"Blondie... you're here... with strong company." Junior said both nervously and incredulously. "Whyy?"

"That's just my sis, Ruby." Yang introduced, causing shivers through the crowd that Yang was related to that monster. "And you, Junior, owe me a drink."

Yang glanced to Ruby, who nodded. "Make that two. Ruby wants a taste."

"And why should I do that?" Junior challenged.

"Because I can and will tear you in half." Ruby threatened, and that was enough of a message for Junior.

"Please, right this way." Junior gestured to the bar.

"Wise choice." Said Yang.

"Good survival instincts." Ruby added as she joined Yang at the bar.

Junior stood at the other side, waiting for the duo's orders. Yang went first and ordered a Strawberry Sunrise, which was basically an frosty, strawberry-flavored rum decorated with a slice of strawberry and an umbrella. Ruby followed suit for one as well, mostly because strawberry was her favorite flavor. Coincidentally, it was the of Ruby's core scents according to Vali.

At the thought of that bastard of a dreamy hunk (dammit), Ruby called to use whiskey. Her dragon biology made it impossible to get intoxicated by normal alcohol, but she could try.

"Cheers." Said Yang, holding out her glass.

Ruby shrugged and clinked their drinks. "To fucking over some assholes."

Ruby drank her beverage, savoring the burning tingles of the whiskey going down her throat. It was on of the few drinks that Ruby could enjoy the sensation of. With a relieving sigh, Ruby set the glass back down.

"Now onto business." Yang announced. "Do you know what Torchwick is planning?"

Junior sighs. "I don't know."

Yang narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean you don't know?"

"I haven't talked to him." Junior said. "I haven't even seen him since that same night you first came here. He paid up front, took a few of my guys, and they never came back. Obviously, he wasn't happy with my guys. Which is something I can relate to!"

"Oh, I can tell you." Ruby said. "I landed each and every one of them a ticket to the hospital. But don't worry about them. Worry about yourself because if I don't get what I want, the only thing leaving here are body bags."

'Fucking shit, blondie's sister is way worse.' Thought Junior frantically.

"I really wish I can tell you." Junior said with a whimper of fear. "I don't know anything. Honest."

Ruby sighed. "This was a waste of time."

The dragoness proceeded to down the strawberry whiskey and shatter the empty glass to the floor. The Branwen cousins oeft the bar with the guards around them to afraid to make a move. Neithe said a word until they were outside.

"Let's hope the others are having better luck." Yang wondered.

As if on cue, both of their Scrolls started to ring. Yang took the initiative to answer and were greeted to the screams of Sun with crashing in the background.

"ANGRY GIANT ROBOT... CHASING US ON THE HIGHWAY... TORCHWICK IS INSIDE IT!"

"Where-" Yang was about to ask until they saw Sun and Blake being chased by a giant mech just on the street to the far right.

'Ask and you shall receive.' Thought Ruby.

"I'll go on ahead." Ruby told Yang.

Before the blonde could reply, Ruby had already sprinted off via her Semblance. In seconds, Ruby had caught up to Roman, who was heading for the highway. If that were to happen, the mech would be flinging cars all over the city.

So instead of that, Ruby tackled into the left leg of the mech, tripping it onto its back. Her feet dug into the asphalt as she stopped herself. Torchwick soon picked himself up, and Ruby smirked as she could feel the criminal's glare on her. Too bad he didn't see the huge dent in the leg she tackled.

"Remember me, Torchwick?" Ruby called.

"Oh I remember you, Red." Torchwick spoke through the speakers of the mech. "Here's my hello."

The turrets on the shoulders of the mech opened fire, but Ruby made no move to dodge. Rather she just stood there lazily as the bullets just bounced off her body much like some classic superhero would. It wasn't due to her Aura, as durable as it was, but more so to her dragon scales that were shifted to near microscopic to look like human skin.

Ruby decided to simply walk toward the mech despite the bullet storm that tried to put holes in her. Every one that did fell to the floor in the shape of a flat coin. After making it five paces did Torchwick decide to stop the turrets.

"How the hell are you still alive?" Torchwick exclaimed.

"Fuck you, that's how." Ruby replied, her grin growing.

Torchwick decided that perhaps physical force was the solution to squash the annoyance in front of him by making the mech throw a left hook. Ruby countered by lazily lifting the back of her right palm to the mechanical fist. The force of the blow was enough to shatter the ground, but Ruby did not even budge. Next, Ruby raised her left elbow and smashed on the limb of the mech, and the metal broke like glass and Torchwick's new toy was one arm less. She pressed on the attack using the limb as a weapon to bash the mech around. That awarded Ruby with the destruction of the turrets.

The dragoness threw the limb away and rushed in close quarters. She threw a light jab that gave off the crack of a cannon and left a large dent in the chassis that Torchwick could see from the inside. In desperation, Torchwick tried to get Ruby away from by using the remaining arm of the mech. Ruby swaswatted aside without a glance and continued. This time she didn't hold back in her next punch that tore through all layers of steel and wiring. A fanged grin framed Ruby's face when she felt her hand holding the front Torchwick's shirt and smelled the terror that he reeked. Or maybe that was him pissing himself.

"I~ see~ you~." Ruby hissed so sweetly it plunged into Torchwick's heart like a dagger.

Ruby let go to Torchwick's relief, but it was short-lived as Ruby grabbed in the chassis of the chest of the mech, the steel crunching like paper from her grip. She forced the mech, collapsing to its knees, before sending a straight kick that sent the mech flying for several meters. But the front of the mech was ripped off, revealing a shaking Torchwick in the cockpit. The missing piece was held in Ruby's hands, which she then threw to the side.

'I want my mommy.' Torchwick sobbed internally, too terrified to actually cry.

Torchwick was going to make a run for it, but Ruby ward already upon him. Emerald eyes blocked his way from crawling out of the destroyed mech. Ruby's hand snapped tightly ariund Torchwick's throat and he was easily lifted off his feet by the girl's monstrous strength. In the distance were the sirens of the quickly approaching police.

"Try to escape." Ruby said, her emerald eyes piercing into Torchwick's soul. "Please, make my day."

Despite the terror that Roman Torchwick had landed himself in, he still held onto hope. His escape was already in the middle of getting him out. The sound shattering glass later and Roman's hopes were dashed away when he saw Neo get backhanded all the way into a building.

Ruby gave a small glance to the newcomer that tried to ambush her. It was a relatively short yet busty girl with long hair that was one-half pink and one-half brown. Her eyes were also mismatched between brown and pink as well. The girl wore a white coat with a black pair of pants and boots. In her hands was a pink umbrella.

The girl was about to try again until sheshe had to dodge out of the way of launched weapons. Ruby smiled knowing this was Angelica's doing which meant the devil detective has arrived. The Queen of Heroes made her appearance jumping between Ruby and the new girl. Golden portals opened at her back ready to launch whatever weapon while more circled around Torchwick to secure the criminal.

"Glad you could arrive when I called." Ruby said.

Angelica scoffed. "Why would I miss thrashing around some mongrels?"

"I sense you have improved." Ruby noted as she felt that Angelica's energy had indeed become far stronger.

"I can't let myself fall behind for long." Angelica said. "You should be on the lookout. You never know when I might fell a dragon from her throne."

The challenge wasn't missed by Ruby and she gave the blonde a grin. Angelica turned her attention back to Neo, her blue eyes showing no mercy. Neo's nerves got the better of her and so she retreated as she shattered like glass.

The rest of the police arrived and Roman was officially arrested. Ruby had confidence that the criminal will stay behind as long as he is under Angelica's supervision of his imprisonment. As for her teammates, Sun, and Neptune, they had watched Ruby's one-sided massacre upon the mech. More so with Sun and Neptune as this was their first time seeing Ruby's power and it was enough to leave their jaws on the ground. And that was just Ruby's raw strength.

Ruby jumped all the way up to the rooftops and eyes widened in her presence.

"Yo." Greeted Ruby.

"That was awesome." Praised Sub. "You were 'wa-cha', and he was all like 'grr'. But you were like 'bam'. I-I can't believe you're so strong. Like literally strong."

"Okay, Sun calm down." Blake said, putting a hand on Sun's shoulder. "It has been a long night for all of us."

"Speaking of." Ruby said. "What did you find on your end?"

"We have something about a base of operations in the south, but that would point to Mt. Glenn." Blake informed. "Could be worth investigating."

"I got nothing." Weiss said in defeat.

"Us too." Yang added.

"We did good tonight." Ruby congratulated. "We got Torchwick in jail and we have a possible lead at Mt. Glenn. Let's head back home."

"You guys go on ahead." Sun said, waving goodbye. "Neptune and I are going to check out this noodle house."

And with that, Team RWBY's mission was complete, and Ruby finally made Roman pay. No one gets away from her, not even three times.

(Time-Skip)

[Quite talented, if I do say so myself.] Ddraig complimented.

'You're not wrong.' Ruby agreed. 'And she's not even using her Semblance.'

Ruby and her team were in combat class, the first one that was joined with exchange students. Team JNPR were present as well as CRNL, which was currently getting their asses kicked by only Pyrrha. The fake exchange students of Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald, which Ruby could tell they were up to something. Mercury had that look for battle, as though he was prepared to fight. Whatever they were up to, Ruby would make sure that they won't have their way.

But much to Ruby's frustration, Team KABL was here and worse they were right next to Team RWBY, with Vali and herself only a meter away from being shoulder-to-shoulder. The students sitting on the bleachers with them had a cold sweat down their necks and they didn't know why. What they didn't know was they were all on a tipping point before Beacon was about to become a battleground and their instincts were screaming at them to get out. The air around Vali and Ruby was much more dense as though trying to sit between them would crush a human.

'I will do fucking anything to get away from him.' Ruby thought, visibly shaking.

Vali was in no better condition. 'I can't be in the same room with her.'

Goodwitch was down below, so she did not notice the tense atmosphere that plagued her students. More so that she was paying more attention to the match between Pyrrha and Team CRNL. Not that she really have to watch anything as it was obvious that the match was drawing to a close as Pyrrha drew to a close locking Cardin in a choke hold with her polearm. She then jumped high into the air, gave a twirl, slammed Cardin down, and kicked his chin for good measure.

[She hides it well.] Ddraig said. [There is a demon within her thirsting for a worthy battle.]

'Do you think it could be a Sacred Gear of some sort?' Ruby thought.

Ddraig hummed. [It is something of the sort, but I cannot tell. Perhaps Arthur's claim of others being born with the powers of the supernatural isn't so far off.]

"And that is the match." Glynda announced.

"Lucky shot." Groaned Cardin.

"At least save yourself some dignity." Bikou called out.

"Well done, Miss Nikos." Glynda complimented. "You should have no problem qualifying for the tournament."

Pyrrha gave a small bow. "Thank you professor."

"Alright, I know it's a tough act to follow but we have time for one more sparring match." Glynda said. "Any volunteers?"

"I will!" Two voices called out.

Mercury widened his eyes that two people called out before he could. He was supposed to volunteer so he could evaluate Pyrrha's threat level. Cinder's enraged glare could be seen burning into Mercury's skull, blaming his incompetence when it was just a coincidence. But it had different effect on KABL and RWBY as their faces went white with horror.

Vali and Ruby had both volunteered.

Glynda hummed in thought. "Miss Nikos, it appears that there are two volunteers for you to fight, but only one match to host. Who will you pick?"

'Please don't be nice Pyrrha and let them fight each other.' Weiss prayed mentally to whatever gods were listening.

'There's a good chance she will leave the match and the spar will be between Vali and Ruby.' Thought Arthur. 'If that happens, we wouldn't stop them in time before the whole school is destroyed.'

Pyrrha glanced between Vali and Ruby, who were trying their hardest not to glare at each other because if they did suggestive whispers from their inner dragons would pop up in their heads and their faces would go red. Unfortunately or fortunately, she was unaware that Vali was of the supernatural and was Ruby's 'destined' rival. Green eyes instead locked solely on emerald and the Mistralian champion was reminded of the slaughter Ruby undertook during graduation. She was horrified at the sight of so much blood that Ruby spilled, but a small part of her couldn't but be excited to fight such a strong rival. For Ruby above all else embodied the title of 'Invincible Girl'. The Mistralian champion made a choice.

"I will fight Ruby." Pyrrha announced, causing sighs of relief from RWBY and KABL.

"Then that is settled." Glynda stated. "Ruby, will you go retrieve your weapon from your locker?"

Ruby nodded and made her way out of the class to the lockers that held Crescent Rose and Moon Dragon, and the handcannons Ember and Diamond. But in reality that was a ploy to what weapon she was actually going to use. Just in case, Ruby sent a small burst of electricity to cancel the feed of the cameras. Once she was sure she was alone, Ruby summoned the Boosted Gear and with a mental command Anduril in its scabbard jumped out and was caught in Ruby's hand.

When Ruby returned to the class, all eyes went to the sword that she was carrying instead of the scythes she was known for. Pyrrha's eyes widened, recognizing the sword as the same blade that she revealed in the library. She could remember that blinding light that seemed to pierce her soul and she unconsciously gulped. Even Goodwitch quirked an eyebrow at the sight of Ruby with a sword.

"Miss Rose, I thought you were getting your weapon." Glynda said.

"If you read my file, you would know I have more than one." Ruby reminded Glynda. "I can't just settle with just one style of fighting."

"I suppose." Glynda relented.

Pyrrha did not move a single muscle as she watched Ruby enter the ring. She felt like she was looking at Ruby from a vast distance, but instead of a human she was looking at the form of a massive red dragon with the emerald eyes. Those eyes that did not show foul intent, but rather waiting for Pyrrha to make a move. Under her gaze, Pyrrha felt so small. Her heart hammered in terror and sweat poured down her body.

But at the end of her nerves, all that fear and anxiety to face such a beast suddenly washed away to a new high. Yes, she wasn't facing a human. A human would not suffice. Pyrrha was facing a beast of epic proportions, something that was far stronger than all the things that had bored her. The rush of a true fight that she can fully feel the rush of it pumping through her veins as adrenaline fueled her to the max. She was finally facing someone so enormously stronger than her, and Pyrrha couldn't be more happy.

Pyrrha barely heard the match start and she was already in mid-jump towards Ruby. She opened with a stab with her spear that Ruby deflected with the grace of water on rock. Her stab instead overreached, but Pyrrha reacted accordingly by bringing her shield up to defend her openings. She was not expecting the force of a hammer to knock into the shield, making it toll like a bell, and send Pyrrha across the entire ring. The redhead slid roughly against the floor before righting herself with a flip. Once she got her bearings, her eyes widened at the scene in front of her.

Ruby was standing there, almost looking bored, with her weapon held lazily at her right side. But what caught Pyrrha's eye was the fact Ruby did not remove the scabbard.

"Why haven't you removed the scabbard?" Pyrrha questioned.

"I don't need to." Ruby said neutrally. It wasn't arrogance nor confidence, but simple fact. Yet, that answer that Ruby was holding back made something in Pyrrha start to snap.

"Then I'll make you!" Pyrrha declared.

Pyrrha crouched down with her shield used as cover and her spear morphed into its rifle form. She opened fire using her shield to stabilize her shots and all were aimed perfectly. Yet, Ruby slowly approached the champion, moving Anduril with lazy admission in one hand yet blocking every shot that came to her. The sheath didn't even get damaged and the bullets themselves dropped to the floor flattened.

The dragoness swatted at the shield, and the strength in the blow completely threw off Pyrrha's stance. It felt like her arm was trying to get ripped off her shoulder. Still, Pyrrha managed to make a swing with Milo. She even used her Semblance of polarity to move the braces on her arm for added force. Ruby simply put Anduril in the way, causing the ground to break from the force of the blow, yet Ruby stood firm. She swiped her right leg, hitting Pyrrha in the side and sending skidding against the edge of the ring. That one blow took off forty percent of her Aura.

"You were saying?" Ruby said.

Pyrrha gritted her teeth in frustration. She knew Ruby was far stronger than her, but Pyrrha wanted to face more of her power. She charged at the dragoness whilst firing her rifle. It turned back into a spear as Pyrrha threw her shield as a distraction. The one second of Ruby hitting the shield was just enough for Pyrrha to make a swipe at her side.

She wasn't expecting Ruby to bend back almost ninety degrees. In Pyrrha's surprise, she didn't see the fist that struck the bottom of her jaw. Her Aura went down to thirty percent from the blow, which sent her into the air. Ruby jumped after, but Pyrrha had commanded her shield to hit Ruby's back. Instead of that, Ruby caught the shield and used to bash Pyrrha's head before grabbing her ankle and throwing her down to the floor.

Ruby nimbly landed back down, but a frown made its way on her face. The look on Pyrrha's face was truly unnatural. Instead of a wince of pain or a growl of fury, she was smiling, and her eyes held a hunger for more of this battle.

"You really want me to draw my blade?" Ruby inquired.

"Yes!" Pyrrha didn't want to shout, but she was too engrossed in this feeling. As she picked herself up, a red aura surrounded her and her left hand made a grasping motion. "I want to enjoy a fight for once! Even if my opponent can instantly eradicate me! I simply can't care!"

Ruby's eyes widened when she felt a power from Pyrrha. It wasn't like a Sacred Gear, but it held a strong demonic power soaked in bloodlust. From Pyrrha's outstretched hand, there was the makings of a red magic circle appearing and Ruby knew she had to act.

Ruby made a step behind Pyrrha and there was a clink of her sword being resheathed. All was silent in combat class as they Pyrrha in a silent scream. She fell to her knees, unable to battle and the screen showed Pyrrha's Aura at zero.

"That concludes the match, thus Ruby Rose is the victor." Glynda announced. "Class is dismissed."

Ruby holstered Anduril at her hip and walked out with her team. But as she walked with RWBY, her mind was elsewhere.

'That was not a Sacred Gear.' Ruby thought.

Ddraig replied. [That was a demonic sword. Sometimes, swords of legend may attach themselves to new wielders. Your friend was unlucky enough to get Muramasa, a blade forged by all the curses and insanity of the Japanese smith himself. That lust must be a side-effect of Pyrrha being its new wielder.]

'Then what Arthur said was true.' Ruby replied. 'There may be more of them out there.'

"That was a very impressive match, Ruby." At the sound of Vali's voice, Ruby stopped mid-step. She did not want to look at his handsome face.

By Great Red, why is he so handsome?

With a huff Ruby turned around and faced her rival, leveling a glare. But those sapphire eyes just made her melt, and her heart was hammering in her chest. Instincts demanded to fight him, not as a rival but as a potential mate.

"It is only a taste to what is to come." Ruby replied with as much steel as she could muster.

"I'll..." Vali struggled through his words. It was hard enough to keep his composure as it is. "... Be waiting then."

The two rivals unceremoniously turned around and walked in opposite directions. Only Yang and Bikou were left standing in the hall, watching the two love dragons having wasted an opportunity.

"This is painful to watch." Yang and Bikou said simultaneously, then they faced each other. "You see it too?!"

"Holy shit, I knew Vali had the hots for Ruby." Exclaimed Yang. "So you've tried figuring to relieve this mess?"

Bikou sighed. "I have tried, but Vali is so confused what to do. All he has to do is just, you know, work the magic. Ask her out. Get to know her."

"Ruby's fixated that Vali is planning something sinister, but I know she is just coping with the fact that she's developed on her so-called destinex rival." Said Yang.

"They just have to open to each other and realize they don't have to kill each other." Bikou said. "Oh, sorry about that. The name's Bikou."

"Yang Xiao Long." Yang introduced. "So... how about partnering up as matchmakers for our resident lovesick dragons?"

"I think this is the start of a great partnership, Little Sun Dragon." Bikou agreed as the duo shook hands. "We need something big. Something that'll make their walls crack and let their hearts do the talking.

Yang hummed in thought. "Well, there is the upcoming dance..."

Cliffhanger because I am moving in. I am welcome to suggestions of a date at the Vytal Dance. I really need it because how do you get a tsundere to admit her feelings? I want that part of the story at the dance where Ruby and Vali officially build on a relationship. Bikou and Yang would certainly need the help.

Up next is Chapter 12: Dragon Courting Party.

Stay in touch. Please, please leave a review.

Edit 8/20/2019: I have moved into my college dorm, so don't expect as many updates.
