Ruby Rose
Everyone got up and began to explore the theater.
“Do you think this place has a kitchen Mr.*****?” Ralph asked Silly Simon since he was the only parent of Henry's who's trying to be a good dad from now on.
“Why don't we go check?” Simon asked as they went to a door and saw it was labeled kitchen and went through it while Simon's ex wife, Henry's mum, just watched.
A bright light beamed and two familiar faces appeared.
“Ruby,we wanted to apologize for not noticing how bad your PTSD and mental health was in the Ever after” A white head said.
The red head named Ruby was hesitant.
“It's going to take them, but I’ll give you a second chance to make up for it,” She replied.
“Henry!?” Henry's mum shouted.
Ruby's eyes widened.
“Mum!?” Ruby shouted.
“Isn't your mom um…you know” the white head said looking away.
“Would you believe me if I told you both me and….Yang had a life before this?” Ruby asked.
“Yes because of Professor Ozpin but how..?” Weiss asked.
“We aren't immortal but we died and reincarnated” Ruby replied.
Naya then explained everything and everyone took a seat with a snack in hand.
“So…you and Yang know these people?” Weiss asked.
“Yes,most of them are our friends and classmates,the grumpy lady was my teacher,the one who called me is sadly my mum and the man with blue shirt is my dad and then we have stuck up cousin Steve” Ruby introduced.
“Also,Yang was the youngest before we reincarnated,” Ruby replied.
“I never thought the day where she's the youngest,” Weiss said as the TV lit up.
“Legends stories scattered through time.”
Everyone was confused on who the person narrating was.
“Don't worry about it” Naya replied.
“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.”
The scene shows the 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.
‘Torchwick’ Ruby thought.
“This will show how I got into Beacon early which I…don't regret. I think the only good thing I got out of going there are friends” Ruby whispered to Weiss.
“I understand you regretting getting into it earlier since we had no idea of this war that professor Ozpin didn't tell us about until it was too late” Weiss whispered back.
“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 bursts 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” Weiss pointed out.
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 of his cigar 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.
“I feel bad for the man,” Ralph said.
“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,” Roman reassures, only wanting to quickly grab the dust and go.
“Why Dust?” Aerobic Al asked.
“It's not what you think, it's a type of crystal founded by Weiss's grandfather,lien is the currency on the planet I was reincarnated into” Ruby explained.
“Planet? Isn't it earth?” Miss Battle-Ax asked.
“It's called Remnant,” Ruby replied.
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," Roman demands.
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.
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’?”
“Do you not hear him?!” Simon asked.
“No, I had loud music playing” Ruby replied.
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?”
Everyone except Weiss and Ruby were stunned by Ruby/Henry not giving a damn that she might die because of the robbers.
“How are you so calm!?” Anxious Andrew asked.
“Yes!” The man screams in frustration, Ruby gives him a look. “Aahh,” she said with a smile on her face, not caring.
Weiss heard the tone in Ruby's voice knowing what she was about to do.
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.
Everyone’s eyes widened at that.
The scene shows the front of the shop before the man is thrown out, Ruby following him. The others just stare outside.
The camera shows Ruby, with her weapon transforming into her scythe.
“D-do you just c-carry that e-everywhere you go?” Andrew asked nervously.
She looks up at them, swings her scythe into the road, causing a dent, and turns off her music.
Weiss looks at Ruby Sternly and unamused.
“You left a dent,” Weiss pointed out.
Ruby let out a scoff.
“Please, it's not like you haven't also done property damage” Ruby retorted.
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 them. She smashes one to the grand leaves, the last lying in front of Roman.
Ralph was amazed at how much of a great fighter his best friend was.
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.
“Red?” Goody-goody Gordon said in confusion.
“He didn't know my real name” Ruby replied.
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.
Ruby turned and asked the shopkeeper, “You okay if I go after him?” He gave his permission, and she quickly ran.
Roman hops over the last bit of the ladder, Ruby right on his tail.
“Hey!” Ruby shouted.
“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 is a woman with a purple cape. A large explosion goes off with red dust in the breeze.
“Who's that?” Greedy Graham asked while eating some popcorn.
“Professor Glynda Goodwitch,one of our teachers,” Ruby answered.
Roman gives off an evil laugh, thinking the girl’s dead.
Roman glares as he sees that Glynda has put up a protection field. Ruby looks amazed and Glynda pushes up her glasses, before 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.
“Cinder Fall’ Ruby thought with hatred.
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 from 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 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.
“How is she doing that?” Lazy Linda asked.
“I'm sure it will be explained later if not then we’ll explain.” Weiss replied.
The two watch as the ship goes to make its escape, Ruby looking at the ship and then Glynda. She pulls out her weapon and starts to open fire.
Glynda turns and glares at the girl.
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.
“A huntress?” Henry's mum said, confused.
‘Ah,why is she cute!?Wait, what am I thinking!?’ Weiss thought.
Ruby is shown as having a face of regret. Sitting in a chair while behind her, Glynda began to scold her.
Weiss tried not to laugh at the scene.
“I hope you realize your actions tonight will not be taken lightly, young lady. You put yourself and others in great danger.”
Ruby yelled in her defense, “They started it!”
“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.
“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.
Everyone was weirded out by what he said.
“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.”
‘I missyou uncle, I hope I can see you again’ Ruby thought.
“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.
Weiss smiled fondly and sigh at her leader.
“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.”
“Your uncle taught you how to fight?” Henry's mum asked.
“Yes” Ruby replied with hatred towards Her past life mum.
“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. 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.
“Do you know who I am?” Headmaster leaned down, asking the girl.
“We all do,” Weiss said.
“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?” Ozpin asked.
“More than anything.” Ruby replied.
Ozpin looks at Glynda but she just rolls her eyes in disapproval.
“Well okay.” Ozpin told her.
“Seriously?It was that easy?” Weiss asked.
“Yep!” Ruby replied, ‘Though I’m pretty sure it's because of my eyes.’ she thought.
The screen changes to show 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!”
“baby sister?” Simon raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah,me and Peter switched ages of oldest and youngest” Ruby replied.
“Do you still bully him or her?” Ralph asked.
“No, she's the….best sister ever, not right now at least” Ruby mumbled the last part.
“You hesitated,” Weiss pointed out.
“You should know why by now after we left the Ever after” Ruby replied back with a straight face.
“Please stop,” Ruby asks, her voice sounding a little forced. Yang lets go, and excitedly bounces on her toes, “But I’m so proud of you!”
“Really, sis, it was nothing.” Ruby told Yang.
“What do you mean? It was incredible! Everyone at Beacon is gonna think you're the bee's knees!” Yang states proudly, but Ruby doesn't like that idea in the slightest.
“I don’t want to be the bee's 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.”
“That's understandable,” Prissy Polly said.
“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 white 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.
“Hello, and welcome to Beacon.”
“Who’s that?” Yang asks, eyeing her sister.
“My name is Glynda Goodwitch.”
“Oh.” Yang said.
Ruby giggled at that.
“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.”
‘Yeah…peace' Ruby and Weiss thought.
“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.
‘Oh Jaune’ Ruby thought.
“Who’s that?” Sour Susan asked.
“Our Friend,His name is Jayne” Weiss replied.
“Well, I guess the view isn’t for everyone," Yang stated, watching the poor boy.
“It was a nice moment while it lasted," Ruby continued.
The view changes to show 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 faded 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, and 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.
‘After trying for so long, Yang finally found Raven' Ruby thought.
A large amount of Grimm is seen, running toward the camera. A nevermore gives way to a transition, showing Roman and the 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. The camera spins to show every one of them. The portal blasts, coming down in the middle of them, forcing them to retreat backward.
The four attack the portal and it switches to show Jaune standing in front of a statue solemnly, which 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 fire heart 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.
Naya: That was the beginning,next episode will start in 15 minutes so grab snacks.
