This is a RWBY, Halo, and MLPFM crossover story with added portions. MLPFM will not be along the canonical story, but an alternate universe to ensure a more clean universe at large. Please enjoy the story.
Two humans clashed in a large forest, One was the Hero of this Story, while the other was the Pawn the Villain used. Cinder Fall, the Pawn of the Witch glared at her adversary, Ruby Rose the SIlver eyed Warrior. "You bitch, I will kill you!" She screamed her left ear was missing and her right eye had a deep laceration across it. She was in terrible condition but to be honest so was Ruby, they both were nearing their ends. Ruby was running out of Aura a while ago and now they were even. Ruby was covered in cuts and bruises but her face was steeled in determination.
Ruby spun her massive scythe, Crescent rose and attempted to take off Cinder's head, Cinder was barely able to react with her tired body but she quickly counterattacked. She swung her steel sword at Ruby, catching her off guard.
Ruby leaned back and was still sliced across the stomach and up to her left breast but she only grit her teeth from the pain.
'I won't lose, I will win this battle, then win the Grimm War.'
"I won't lose!" Cinder screamed in rage, not knowing Ruby had the same exact thought, she glared at the Grimm Reaper.
Ruby however was not blinded by her anger and was able to catch Cinder off Guard. She spun her scythe and stabbed Cinder through the stomach before lifting her over herself and slamming the woman into the ground hard enough to splinter the ground. She tore the jagged scythe blade out of Cinder, she now knew she was going to win, the injury she just inflicted was life threatening. Ruby however was not stupid, Cinder was still dangerous so she took her seriously.
Cinder spat up blood but was able to stand on her feet, her stomach was filled with blood and was filling her throat. She wanted to throw it all up, but doing that would further weaken her and take time away from whatever life she had left. "I… I… won't!" She growled as she grabbed her sword and prepared to swing, when it fell to the ground, disconnected from her shoulder. Cinder screamed out in agony as her adrenaline was unable to suppress that pain, Ruby stared at Cinder cautiously.
"You… You… B-Bitch!" Ruby emotionlessly stared at her, "I will… kill you!" Cinder fueled her Semblance with her actual soul, her Magic stepped in and enhanced her Soul Flames. Ruby took a step back as flames erupted from Cinder, Cinder' Semblance and Magic became unstable as her life started to fade and soon she exploded.
Blood, guts, and sharp blades made of fire slammed into Ruby sending her skidding back with a pained grunt.
Her vision began to darken 'Did… did I fail? I couldn't even avenge you Pyrrha.' She smiled as she faded from consciousness.
Ruby heard the steady beeping of her heart on a Monitor system, she was alive, but she felt different. Her eyes opened slowly, thankfully they were not assaulted by a bright surgical light.
She realized her room was dark and cold, she was covered in a blanket and she was also strapped to the bed. She felt weak but strong at the same time, 'What happened?'
She heard a voice in her head answering her question, "We are unsure."
Ruby's eyes widened, the voice was feminine but also not her own. 'Who are you?'
"We have no name, we have no identity, we are just a part of you. We are now one with you and we will not leave until we both pass to a new life together."
Ruby frowned as she thought about a name for her new partner, "What do you look like?"
Ruby felt a slimming object begin to cover her body, at first she started to panic but that was quickly dulled down. The blanket covering her started to melt away along with the straps holding her down, something new was covering her now. It was black with red and silver highlights, she was inside a Skin tight suit of Goo.
"What are you?"
We are a creature created by the Forerunner Dusk to Darkness, most commonly known to you and your people as the God of Darkness. We were made to fight our Light Counter parts, we are the Dark Symbiotes."
"I see, how about I call you Shade?"
"The name is fitting, we are hereby known as Shade. Find the Station Monitor, we must speak with him."
Suddenly Ruby's vision was filled with a Hud, it showed a glowing green light on the floor, she got out of bed and quickly followed it.
Ruby became transfixed on following the beacon of light, her mind was following the light.
"Ruby, I am healing your body." This statement would have confused or even horrified Ruby but she just didn't have the emotions to actually do so.
Soon Ruby made it into a large room and the feeling she was under vanished, in its place was mind numbing pain that was only dulled by her mind being protected from the effects. She would have screamed if she could, instead she was sobbing from the extreme pain she was feeling.
Suddenly a new voice was heard, "Oh my, this was unexpected, it seems you woke after only a week, how astonishing." Ruby turned and spotted a silver metal orb staring at her with a bright cyan artificial light for an eye. "It seems the Symbiote was able to wake you years before I assumed, how incredible."
Ruby was quickly engulfed by a Green light that removed the pain and allowed her to think again. "However you were not completely healed as I first assumed, your entire body was quite decayed, afterall being dead for 4 days would do that quite easily. Along with all the Cybernetic modifications I had to install with your body, you were a troublesome individual to revive as per my orders."
Ruby didn't understand a thing this ball said, "W-what, I-I died?"
"Oh yes, you were dead for quite some time, and you only had a single week to heal from all the damage! Thankfully I revived you, as per my Orders, I cannot have my Masters die now can I?"
The orb said that twice now, 'as per my orders' "What are your orders exactly?"
"Oh, that's simple, revive any previously deceased Masters on this planet, until one proves to be the one to lead…" It's Cyan light switched to a Bright yellow, "Oh, Maybe you are the one I need? Good, that means I can finally help the surface world!"
Ruby was puzzled, but suddenly knowledge flooded her brain, it explained everything. "Wait, Our planet is an experiment made by… the Gods of light and Dark?"
"I wouldn't call my Master Gods' per say, but yes, they built this planet, they developed your species and even genetically engineered the 'Faunus' or Homo Fauna. However they did not expect for one human to become rebellious enough to demand they revive their lover."
Something clicked in Ruby's Mind, "Salem."
"Exactly!" The Light became Silver with excitement, before changing back to Cyan, "Well, first thing on my list before answering your questions is to get you to a safe place to heal more." A flash of red was the last thing Ruby saw as she passed out.
Yang Xiao Long was crying, it had been a week and a half since Ruby vanished, and now they all accepted that she was most likely dead or dying, but what was surprising was that Cinder never reappeared meaning Ruby's Sacrifice was not in vain. Team WBY, JNR, POQR were all gathered next to their Airship that Ironwood gave to them. Weiss was crying and hugging Yang while Blake just looked sullen. Jaune looked devastated as the second one of his friends died and he could still do nothing to prevent it, Nora was hugging Ren who was silently crying. Penny was staring off into the distance while Oscar was hugging her while sobbing. Qrow and Raven just looked sad.
Raven wanted to say something but she knew she had no place to, the reason Ruby was even dead was because she never thought to be her mother after Summer died, Ruby and Yang needed her to be their mother but she was too much of a coward to do that. Qrow was just drinking his feelings away like always.
Tonight would be a night filled with tears, unknown to everyone that their friend was truly alive and ready to come back to them, this time, with an army.
Ruby's eyes opened as she regained consciousness and she was now feeling great. 'What happened?'
"You have been in Surgical Healing for a few hours, you can walk now without being in agonizing pain."
Ruby sighed happily, 'Good'
"Ah, Master, you are awake!" The Silver Orb floated in her face, "Your condition has improved, now we can speak!"
"I need to get back to my friends, they must think something terrible happened to me!"
The Orb hummed, "I have something you may wish to see Master." The Orb turned and signaled to Ruby's right, she followed the Orb and gasped.
Inside a pod filled with gel was a woman that was so familiar to her, "M-Mom?" Summer Rose didn't look a day older than when she vanished, in fact she looked younger. "M-Mom's Alive!" Ruby started to tear up, tears of joy ran down her face, "I-is she okay?"
"She is in the Coma but I found out how to remove it, however it will be costly as she was dead for a year before I discovered her, and her soul was heavily damaged. She may have Amnesia, or she may just be a permanent shell of who she once was, but hopefully she will return to the person she once was." The orb cheered.
Ruby sighed, "You never did give me your name?"
"Oh, forgive me, I am Enthusiastic Worker, Or EW!" The Orb Cheered.
"I think I will just call you En."
"I like that, En, It sounds pretty!"
Ruby smiled, she started to Understand En, she was like herself when she was younger, Innocent, childish, and Naive. "So, when will you start to heal mom?"
"In a moment, however, I need you out of the room to do it, so I have something you will want to do." The Orb giggled, "Follow the glowing green beam, it will guide you to the Present!"
Ruby nodded as she once again got out of bed on her unsteady and weak legs and followed the beam of light.
She left the room, and walked down long expansive hallways. She walked for what felt like hours but was most likely a few 30 minutes, then the beam turned into a door. She followed behind it, the door opened automatically and she was met with an awe inspiring sight. Inside was a massive 1.5(Basically a mile) kilometer long ship that was currently being tended to by Drones and Mechanical Humanoids. The ship was smooth with black plating and it had two bulbous extensions that extended from the bottom of the ship. The ship was beautiful and on the sides was a brilliant red Rose emblem.
"Woah, is this… mine?"
A synthetic humanoid with a large expansive back appeared in a flash of red, her Hud instantly recognized it as a Modified Promethean Knight. "Master." The Knight's voice was synthetic, "The Rose Blood is ready."
"Rose Blood?"
"A Ship from the Ancient Rose Clan of the Humans, your ancestors, and your previous leaders. This is a Corvette under the Rose Clan. It was owned by Miss Azure Rose, a diplomat who conversed with the Forerunners over a peaceful situation. This ship is yours by birthright, Miss Rose."
"I… I see. Who is my crew?"
"We are the Crew, please follow me Captain." Ruby did so and found herself inside the ship bridge minutes later, it was very advanced with a large overlook over a holographic map of the solar system. "This is the Command and Ship Bridge, here is the ship Pilot." The Knight pointed to a holographic stand with the odd symbol, "She is an Anacilla, her name is Monarch."
As a very human-like woman appeared, "Hello I am Monarch Rose."
"Are… are you part of my family?"
"I was, at one point, but, I am no longer Human. I allowed the Forerunners to change me into an AI, as penance for humanity attacking the Forerunners." The Monarch frowned, "We did it for the safety of the Forerunners as the Flood infected hundreds of their planets, but they misunderstood our intentions and executed us." Monarch sighed, "We both made mistakes, we should have told them our predicament, we could have easily beaten the Flood infection if we joined as one, but… we didn't."
Ruby frowned, "Well. we can be better, I believe we can do better."
Monarch suddenly jolted, "Ah, Captain Rose, your Mother has been delivered to the medical station, the Medical drones are currently tending to her."
Ruby's eyes widened, "How do I get there?!"
"Transplanting Data directly into your brain."
Ruby's head started to hurt as knowledge was pushed into her pain, she hissed in pain, "Ow!"
"Sorry, the Data transfer is always painful the first time."
"I-it's fine, so, mom is on the third deck?"
"Yes, but please do not visit her until she is stabilized, she was in Stasis for 12 years along with 2 hours of intense surgery and bonding with a Symbiote."
Ruby frowned, she understood why she shouldn't but, "Can I atleast see her?"
Monarch smiles, "yes Ma'am, here is a live feed of your mother." Ruby turned and spotted her Mother being nursed by Medical drones, her eyes filled with tears at seeing the rising and falling of her chest.
"Sh-she's actually alive, k-keep the feed constantly playing in both my room and on this screen, please?" She basically begged, her voice was fragile and weak.
"Yes Ma'am I would never think of separating a child from their parent, I will even keep your Mother's Biometrics constantly feeding into your HUD." The Moment she finished speaking Ruby saw a second set of Biometrics on the other side of her screen, these with Summer's name above them.
Ruby teared up and she shook slightly, "I…still wanna see her at the first opportunity, please?"
"Understood, though it may be a day or so before you can actually meet her."
Ruby shrugged weakly, "I just must know."
Monarch nodded, "Oh and En, is here."
As if summoned En cheered, "Master Rose, your Mother Summer has successfully bonded with Symbiote G-0092! They will be a good pair."
"Okay, what should we do next?"
En would smile if she could, "That is up to you Master, the ship is ready to leave any minute and the Marine Knights are prepared for whatever is thrown at them!"
Ruby's eyes widened, "Can we go save my friends now?"
"Of Course, it is your ship after all."
Ruby smiled, "Okay, they are most likely going to battle Salem now, you know where she lives?"
"The fallen Human, Yes."
"Okay, take us to her castle, I want her gone."
"Yes Master!" En cheered.
Team WBY, JNR, POQR were all battling Salem, it had been a day since they realized Ruby was likely dead. "You Bitch, your puppet killed my sister!" Yang roared as she decked Salem in the jaw, tearing it from his body.
Salem didn't seem to mind as it regrew a second later, "If she couldn't even take down a pathetic weakling like Cinder, she didn't deserve to fight me."
"You Monster!" Yang roared in rage, however before she could act something changed, there was a deep humming noise that froze the combatants. Salem frowned as the sound got louder, and louder.
It didn't take long for the reason for the sound to appear, a massive silver 'air' ship flew in everyone, including the grim, looking at the machine with awe. It quickly opened fire on all the Grim, quickly shattering their numbers and tearing them down. Before long it was only Salem and the three Teams. Quickly Salem and the Teams were surrounded by hundreds of Rose Knights, they all pointed their hard light rifles at her.
"Ah, it seems they have me surrounded-" She was unable to finish her sentence as Hard Light rounds tore through her like appear.
Suddenly a silver ball fell from the ship and hovered before Salem, "It would seem Master did a number on you, it is time to take your punishment and give it to others as a reward."
The Cyan light in 'eye' of the ball turned red as a beam of l;ight Surrounded Salem and pulled something from her soul. It was darkened like Salem's own soul and quickly the darkness covered Salem's body vanished.
Everything went quiet as Salem felt her body, one that just barely healed in time so no injuries remained, and realized she lost her Grimm Nature and her Immortality. "How?!"
"You have completed your goal Salem, you allowed me to find my new Master, you have no purpose. I even took your Aura and Magic to ensure you will be nothing but a woman, I plan to give all of your Power to My Master and those she allows to possess it."
Salem's eyes widened, everything she worked for, everything she did, was all for nothing. Without her Grimm Nature blocking her emotions she quickly realized just how far she had fallen. "I… I…"
"You are a Monster miss Salem, and as per my orders, I will leave you to your fate." As if it never happened Salem was left alone, Team WBY, JNR, and POQR all vanished. Nothing was left and now Salem was surrounded by a horde of Grimm, none of which would listen to her anymore.
"No, This shouldn't happen! I planned for so long, for every situation, but I didn't expect that drone to come! Damn you all!" She screamed as she was eaten by the Grimm.
The three Team's opened their eyes as they found themselves in a large room, "Guys, where are we?" Jaune asked nervously. The walls were sterile silver with glowing lines within the wall, they turned and spotted Ruby who looked a little different. Her face was covered in small surgical scars and she wore a skin tight highly advanced combat skin. "Guys, what's up?"
"R-Ruby you're alive?!" Yang gasped but Ruby's sudden pained expression made her frown, "What happened Ruby?"
"I was dead for 3 days Yang, but En, brought me back."
"En?"
En appeared from behind Ruby, "Hello I am Enthusiastic Worker, please call me En!"
Everyone stared at her, "Weren't you the one who stole the Immortality from Salem."
"Ah yes, I did, as per the Order of Master Rose." Oscar looked to Ruby who rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment. "Salem is now defeated and the Citizens of Remnant are being evacuated to the Surface world, far away from the Grimm."
"Surface world?" Ozpin asked.
"Ah yes, None of you realized, this world is a planet, yes, but with a massive shield surrounding it, on top of this shield is a Conservation 'world' made in case if the world below fails. It failed and now it is time for it to be used."
Ruby frowned, "Wait, that means, everyone is getting kicked off our planet to the world above? This wasn't part of the plan, I wanted to save our world, not end it."
"Miss Rose, the Planet population is only at 1.2 million a staggering decrease from the 289 million that once resided on it. At this point the entire Human and Faunus population will become extinct in a stunning 15 years, this world is killing your people and with Salem missing the Grimm will not be held back and rampage across the globe at a far more dangerous rate. There will be no cities for the populace to reside within."
"B-But wasn't Salem the reason the Grimm were so dangerous?" Penny asked nervously.
"Incorrect, Salem was in truth holding the Grimm back to ensure her plans went smoothly, she had always held them back, because unlike what she implies she wants to kill humanity not the Grimm."
Everyone shivered, "What will happen with Salem Gone?"
"Ancient Grimm like the Wyvern and Levitahn will be as common as Death Stalkers or Nevermores now. Intelligence in Grimm will grow much more rapidly now that Salem is no longer using the Grimm Intelligence for their vision and orders."
"Wait, hold on." Ozpin's eyes widened, "You to say, that the Grimm have been dumbed down because of Salem's influence?"
"Exactly, now with her gone the Grimm will become an even bigger threat, and because of the losses you have all endured, Humanity, this includes Faunus, will become extinct."
Everyone looked horrified, "Please don't let that happen, En!"
"I will not, that is why everyone is going to be evacuated from Remnant no matter what they chose. However we must leave for a week for the process to be complete, in the meantime Miss Rose, we must Wake the Dawn to Light and Dusk to Darkness, they currently reside within a space station above the planet. Along with a Project they were building, made specifically for you, or whoever should be the King or Queen of remnant."
"I… I… I'm the Queen of Remnants?" Everyone was silent as they stared at Ruby and En, "B-but why, how?!"
"The people are behind you Ruby, they saw how hard you fought for them these past years, how far you pushed yourself to save every single person, and for a thank you, they will stand behind you."
The Rose Blood exited the Planet atmosphere and the Planet Shield, All three of the Teams stood in awe at what they witnessed. Their planet, and a fake Conservation Sphere, it was beautiful. Unlike the World below, the world Above was gorgeous and untouched by humanity, the continents were arranged in manner similar to large scattered islands, and Mountain ranges circled the two Planetary poles holding the majority of the cold away. However Ice extended far past the mountains and onto many islands nearby, no Deserts were in sight. The Biggest Continental island about the size of Asia but with many freshwater lakes and rivers, the world was a perfect Island paradise.
"Woah!" Nora's eyes widened in awe, "That's amazing, Is this going to be our new home?"
"Yeah!" En cheered, "In fact the drones are currently building a massive installation for Ruby and all of you to reside inside, surrounded by the City of all your people!"
Ruby smiled, "that… sounds amazing."
Suddenly Monarch spoke, "Docking within Station #0002." The Planet view was quickly replaced with silver metal walls as the ship entered the Space station. Ruby smiled as she walked towards the Ship door which opened revealing a massive Forerunner Station.
En flew ahead of her while Ruby led her group. "Follow me!" En cheered. Ruby smiled and followed En.
They were led to a small room with two pods filled with a green fluid, within the fluid were two oddly Human figures. The pods quickly began to drain and minutes later the Pod doors opened with a hiss. Standing there are two Male Forerunners, the one on the right wore white armor while the left wore black armor.
They both looked at the group of Humans? "Brother, you were right." The one in Black armor stated, this was most likely Darkness.
"I have not been wrong for some time, not even when we abandoned the Forerunners for the Future of the Galaxy." Light looked to Ruby in particular, "It seems the Experiment was a success, how many humans are left?"
Ruby gulped, the power leaking from Light and Dark was intimidating, it was like Salem was a mere Bug, "I… 1.09 million Human and Faunus combined."
"How unfortunate, it will take hundreds of years for the population to rebuild."
"W-what?!" Everyone cried out, "So many died and all you say is how Unfortunate!"
Light didn't even mind the yelling, "I will prepare the Unlimited for your arrival Queen Rose."
The room went quiet as both the Forerunner left, "How did he know my last name?" Ruby asked and looked at En.
"Oh I transferred a 300 page file to them both in the current situation."
Weiss huffed, "They are very rude, they weren't even sorry!"
Everyone nodded while En frowned, "Excuse them, Forerunners, especially them, are very detached from Numerical values, to them those that died are numbers that naturally died."
"Still could have been nicer about it!" Blake growled.
"So what is Unlimited?"
"Follow me, it has been long enough."
Ruby's eyes widened as she was met with the ship known as Unlimited it was colossal, it wasn't within the Remnant Space Station but deep within space it was a Heavily Modified Forerunner Fortress-class Capital ship with a massive city like structure along the back of the ship.
Light sighed, "This is Ultimate, your new Capital ship, she is 200 Units, or 150 Kilometers, long and 75 units or 50 Kilometers wide. This was our Original ship but we managed to change it into Mobile City. This is what we worked on after we abandoned Remnant." This again made the girls mad, but the Forerunner's cared little. "This ship is yours but it will take a few hundred years before you can actually use it with the current population of your planet. You need a Personeel of 1.29 million, most of which are Citizens. So the Rose Blood will be your Personal Ship for the time being, it is perfect for you and your group."
(Time Jump, a few months.)
Team RWBY, JONPR and TRQ have been working hard to protect and build up the new Faction that was built around them. Now though they were sitting around Summer's Bed looking at her, waiting for her to wake.
Tai sighed, "Raven, no one hates you."
"That's not true, I can see how Yang and Ruby look at me, they despise me, for a good reason. I abandoned them, for what, a Temporary reprieve from Salem and Ozpin's Influence?! I left my kid, along with the Kid of our Wife, we were Harem Sisters and Sisters in all but blood and I abandoned her and her kid! I'm trash, and Scum, they have every right to hate me."
Tai sighed again, he looked to his second wife, and quickly looked back to his first wife. "Summer would have forgiven you Raven, you made mistakes, but in the end you came back."
"But you don't forgive me?" Tai did not respond, confirming Raven's fears. "I'm sorry Tai, I know I ruined our relationship." Again Tai did not respond but he frowned.
Suddenly they heard a groan, as two silver eyes opened, and they were not Ruby's.
"W-what?" Summer groaned. "I was sure I died."
"Mom!" Yang and Ruby screeched.
Summer's eyes shot open at hearing those two familiar but oddly foreign voices, "G-Girls?" She sat up suddenly and instantly her aura flared. She grunted in pain but ignored it enough to see her two daughters, "Y-yang, R-ruby?! You two look… how long have I been unconscious for?"
"15 years, miss Rose." Summer jolted and looked to the voice spotting a large metal ball, "I am En, I was able to bring you back to your family, however so much time passed and the Witch Salem has been defeated."
"Salem is Gone?!"
"Yes and Ozpin's soul was released and the Immortality he held is now changed to fuel The Immortality I gave to everyone including You."
Summer smiled as she heard the news, "N-No more Salem, no more Grimm!"
"Eh, not exactly Mom." Ruby nervously replies. She quickly begins to explain to her mom about the future.
Salem, even after being eaten 17 times, was alive. The Grim went insane and started attacking any and all signs of Human Civilization while entirely avoiding animal life. She realized months ago that she was alone on this planet, no Humans anywhere.
"W-what?! Why can't I die, The Grimm ate me over and over again, but… I'm still alive!" Salem wanted to die now, after her death she realized just how evil the Pool of Darkness made her. She no longer cared about anyone or anything, and now that she realized what it made her into she realized this was her punishment. The Creatures she once owned and controlled, now we're out to get her for everything she done to them.
She knew she would suffer alone for hundreds of years, maybe forever, as a penance for her past crimes, and she accepted it.
(Years began to pass in a blur as the Rose Empire was Born)
Ruby, now 209 years old, sat at her dinner table with her family. Team JONPR, RWBY, and STRQ all sat within Ruby's new Castle. "Ruby, Baby." Summer gained her daughter's attention. "What do you all plan to do?"
Ruby smiled, she placed down her utensils and spoke up, "Well, since the Population of Human and Faunus are now at 1.3 billion, we have the population to actually begin growing into space!"
Weiss, the new leader of the Schnee Imperial Company, a Company built on producing almost everything the Rose Empire used, spoke up. "My company has built around 100 ships for escorting the Rose Blood so we can explore a nearby Experiment Planet."
Blake nodded, she currently led the Royal Office of National Intelligence, or RONI. "RONI now has Surveillance satellites in space observing the entire planet 24/7."
Yang sighed, she was the leader of the Imperial Military, "Tsk, we have the entire Military crew for the HMS Unlimited, however we need Citizens willing to live within our ship."
Penny smiled, "I am leading the Autonomous Worker Union, they are shock troops for the Military that will lower the rate of Deaths."
Jaune frowned, "I am Leading the Huntsman Military."
"So? You all have your jobs, what do we do?"
"Well, I suppose, we do need a Scout Unit, and since you are very respected by the Military and Civilians, You Mom, will be Leading a Joint Operation between Civilian and Military for Space Exploration."
"Oh, so where is our ship?"
Ruby smirked, "We were getting to that."
The Rose Empire consisted of 19 'Kingdoms' cross the entire planet, each Kingdom had a Council that worked under the Queen to manage their own Territory.
The 20th Territory is the Imperial Territory where the Queen Directly rules with the Combined Council of each 'Kingdom'. The Capital City of the Empire was known as Avalon, this is where the Imperial Council sat.
At the Moment the Queen, Ruby, was talking with One of the Officials of the other Kingdoms. However this was not important.
What is important is the fact that high in space a 200 meter long spaceship just exited the atmosphere.
This ship was named Tempest, a Scout ship specifically created for long term scout missions. It lacked any large size weapons, but it was heavily defended by turrets.
Team STRQ were the leaders of this team of Scouts.
Summer frowned, "I think my Daughter kicked me from the Kingdom so we could actually do something important."
Raven nodded, "I agree, but also understand, we have been doing very little for the Empire."
Qrow drank his 'drink' and sighed, "Look, the kid has a point, for the last 100 years we have done nothing but sit around the castle."
"Not much has been happening for us to even do, the world is just to peaceful and all efforts to destroy the Grimm have been postponed until Population fully recovers, which will likely take centuries."
"Still, we should be doing something! Team RWBY are all Officials in the World while Team JONPR are Military Leaders. We don't do anything for our group besides stand and wave."
The rest of Team STRQ frowned, "Okay, well, I suppose we will be scouting the Galaxy for hundreds of years." Raven sighed in defeat.
(A few more hundred years pass)
Now after 400 years of Peace the Rose Empire contains over 67 Colony worlds with 17 being important enough to be considered Inner Colonies while the Rest are considered Mid to Outer Colonies. The Rose Empire was very prosperous with very little inter strife, thanks to the actions of its Immortal Leaders and the Religion around said leaders. The Rosian Collective, a Religion based around Summer and Ruby Rose, while upholding the Three teams as Prophets from their God. The 'God's' of Light and Dark were claimed to be the Elder Gods.
This religion is what glued the Empire together in a solid structure, Politics for the Kingdom was based on truth and action, no Leader ever stayed in office if they did not uphold their claims.
The Rose Empire Space Command became the sole protector of all of the Colonies, with hundreds of thousands of ships circling each Colony no matter how insignificant. To the Empire Lives were more important than money or power. This made the RESC into a powerful force for the People instead of the government. The Scout corps became a very crucial part of the Empire, led by Team STRQ, they found colony worlds along with a few minor Forerunner relic worlds.
Above the Planet Remnant, now called Fusion, sat the Imposing ship that led the imperial Queen Fleet, Ultimate. Flanking her were the less impressive but still amazing ships that escorted her, each one 15 kilometers long and far more dangerous than the Ultimate. While the Ultimate was most unarmed the rest were armed for a war.
Along the spine of the ship sat the massive castle that held the Queen and her Prophets. All of which sat within their individual chairs.
"Honey, we discovered a planet with possible Life." Summer claimed, causing all eyes to fall on her.
"Go on, Mom."
"It is quite Simple, this planet-" She showed a large world with water oceans and a mostly green surface, "-Is almost identical to our Colony worlds, however we found signs of civilization across the planet, each with different designs and sizes." She showed hundreds of different buildings all of which were different in some way. "Not to mention the planet has, from our discovery, 15 different sentient species."
The room was silent as the Group absorbed that. "Interesting." Ruby stated her eyes narrowed, "Threat level?"
"1/10." Everyone was stunned.
"So low? Do they not have a Military or atleast Militia?"
"Negatively, we gathered a few of the citizens, all of which claimed the Military Body had been disbanded hundreds of years ago, at least for the Species we gathered. But the other Species are only slightly better, they appear to appreciate words rather than Violence."
"Mom, tomorrow you will be in command of the 20th largest fleet in the Empire, I want to gain allyship with these creatures and recruit them into the Empire."
"Understood, sweety, we will set out Tomorrow."
