"My hero."

"My back."

Weiss could not believe her terrible luck. First a strange dream wakes her an hour before she should have, then she was launched into a Grimm-infested forest by a headmaster who clearly didn't care for his students, her partner was the unbearable brunette, who she had the displeasure of knowing the name of, and finally, said unbearable partner decided it was a 'brilliant' idea to ride a Nevermore that was intent of killing them. Of course she fell off. How couldn't she. At least the idiotic blond boy had attempted to catch her, softening her landing considerably.

Finally getting off the boy, she looked around and realized that not only did she land by everyone else, but they were at the ruins. Joy! Looking towards their objective, which looked strangely like chess pieces, she froze. There, sitting where the second white knight should have been, was the statue from this morning.

'I. What. How! I know for certain I through that thing away' her musings were interrupted by a scream. Spinning to look in the direction, she saw her idiot of a partner in front of a massive Deathstalker. Looking closely, she saw a faint scratch on the scorpion's exoskeleton. Spinning her weapons dust cylinder, she prepared to do something that should get her killed.

The newly made team RWBY trudged towards their new dorm room. Being launched hundreds of feet into the air, trekking through a large forest, not to mention fighting Grimm that would give a trained Huntsman a run for their money, had exhausted them. There was no terrible puns from Yang, animated story telling on the recent adventure by Ruby, sarcastic quips and comments on the part of Weiss, and not even a simple sigh of annoyance about the energy that Blake's teammates seemed to be full of.

No, the newly formed team simply walked through the halls, entered there room, and proceeded to unceremoniously flop onto the nearest empty bed, and go to sleep.

The first rays of sunlight glinted across the little reapers face, teasing her eyes, hidden behind her eyelids. Lifting her little hand to cover her eyes from the suns glare, Ruby made a small whine, very similar to that of a puppy.

"Yang, give me five more minutes" was all the still half asleep Ruby could come up. Not even five seconds had past before she was wide awake, completely aware that something was wrong. Normally her stepsister would be hounding her with her terrible puns and threats of soaked with a glass of water to get her to wake up, but instead there was silence, simply eerie silence. Slowly opening her left eye, so as to see where she was, both her eyes widened at the sight before her.

Instead of the sight of her partner on her own bed, inside the dorm room that they would share for the next 4 years, she was staring into an endless darkness, dotted by twinkling lights, and the destroyed moon of Remnant. With a sharp inhale of air that shouldn't be there, she looked down and gasped. There underneath the large ship she stood on, was Remnant, it's continents and countries clearly visible beneath the white fluffy clouds. As she sat on the edge, clutching Crescent Rose like a large stuffed animal, she became minutely aware of a faint roaring sound.

Suddenly, the sound increased in volume almost instantly, nearly forcing her to lookup, as a small ship, moving at speeds even greater then she herself could go, shot above her. Whipping her head to follow the craft, a impossible task without her semblance, she just barely noticed the bird like figure hopping out of the small fighter, and landing on the other side of the ship she was currently on.

As she stood, dumbfounded that a humanoid bird could fly a ship, never mind a spaceship, that was faster then anything the Atlas military had even theorized, said bird, quickly reached to its side, drew a strange pistol, and fired three shots. Ruby's daze was broken when the first of the lasers whizzed past her face, just barely missing the weak aura field that she had put out. Her eyes widened as she triggered Crescent Rose just in time to block the lasers, being pushed back slightly by the kinetic energy.

Now, Ruby may have been an optimist, but even she knew when it was time to talk and time to fight. With a quick burst of speed, she dashed at the bird, and made a quick diagonal slash in an effort to end the fight as quickly as possible. To her surprise, her opponent made a short jump towards her, spinning slightly to avoid both her and her scythe. As he past, she caught sight of some writing on the side of his pant leg. 'Falco? Is that his name?' Spinning around to follow up with a strike with the blunt edge of her scythe, she was amazed to see the newly named Falco had disappeared. With sudden worry she glanced around, in a desperate bid to find her opponent before he could attack her.

"Come get some." Upon hearing the slightly condescending voice above her, she glanced up before hopping back just in time to avoid the spinning drop kick aimed at her head. She was so close to the edge, that just the simple hop sent her over the edge. Flailing her hand wildly, she just barely managed to grab the ledge with her left hand, her shoulder muscles screaming at the sudden stop. Pointing Crescent Rose towards the planet, she fired a shot towards the planet, using the recoil of her rifle to push her above the ledge.

A quick glance at her opponent showed that he was surprised at the sudden rise that her baby had given her. With a small smirk, she swung the blade into the platform above Falco, swinging around it as a pivot, she delivered a double drop kick to his chest. With a cry, he was sent across the ship, hitting the ground with a thud.

The Red Reaper quickly dashed in, intending to knock him out while he was on the ground, only to have her feet swept from under her. As she fell, Falco pulled his wings behind his head, before delivering a powerful double hammer fist into her core. She hit the ground hard, the impact forcing the air from her lungs. Falco raised his boot, intent on crushing her skull. Thinking quickly, Ruby fired a round, causing the scythe to jerk forward, knocking into his foot and throwing Falco off balance. With the seconds she bought herself, Ruby made a quick roll, and speed to the other side of the ship.

Planting the blade of her scythe into the ground, she began firing, hoping to do enough damage to force Falco to retreat. 2 missed wildly, one hit his left leg making a clang, as if hitting a metal plate, but by the time the forth approached him, he had managed to grab a hexagonal thing, about the size of a scroll, and threw it towards her. As soon as it left his hand, it flared to life, projecting a small energy field around it. Ruby could only watch as the Dust round impacted the field, and was redirected.

She desperately raised Crescent Rose to block it, an while she did, the sudden impact made her lose both her grip and her footing. She slide of the edge and once again managed to grasp, however this time she was left without Crescent Rose. She looked down and watched as her baby got smaller, before it was out of sight. The sound of footsteps mad her look up, and above her stood Falco. She could swore that he smirked at her, and put his foot on her hand making her cry out in pain. He just looked at her before saying one last thing. "Piece of cake." And with that, he removed his foot, and watched as she fell towards the planet below.

She woke up screaming. Sitting bolt upright, she blushed and sheepishly looked around her new dorm. Her new teammates hadn't even flinched at the noise, likely due to how tired they were, but she swore she saw Blake's bow twitch. Weird. Glancing at the clock, she noted that she had awoke 10 minutes before she had sent the alarm on her scroll to. With a sigh, she got out of bed, changed and headed to the common room, intend on getting something to calm her nerves before she woke the rest of RWBY. She peeked through the door, and seeing no one there quickly made her way towards the kettle. Setting the water to boil, she got the cocoa powder, milk, and the tiny marshmallows that she was almost certain were Weiss'.

"Of all the things to try to kill me, it had to be a bird. Why?'

"Perhaps it has something to do with the baby Nevermore that you hit during the launch."

Yeah, but why? I mean, it was a cute baby bird, it couldn't have wanted revenge."

"Maybe, or maybe it wanted to prove its self. Show that it's not a weak little bird. Kinda like what you tried with Weiss."

"Yeah." Ruby's head snapped up at the revelation. "She may not like me, but I can make her respect me!" Ending the sentence by pumping her fist high into the air, before hearing chuckling, realizing that she had been talking to someone. Turning around, she began to apologize, before stopping dead.

There was no one in the room. The door was still slightly agar, in exactly the same place as when she had come in. The only window in the room, a rather large one at that, was intact and locked. The only thing different was two statues, one of the bird in her dream, the other of a man who looked quite like her partner. If her partner was a guy and wore blue, but still! Anyways, on the statues were to slips of paper reading 'Ruby' and 'Weiss' under the bird and the man.

After a quick moment of gaping, the red reaper shrugged, grabbed both the statues, and left, leaving her cup of cocoa to a smiling honey badger.

Holy shit this took forever, and I am sorry. I just never had the motivation to write. I had hoped to have at least 1 chapter per week, so I'd be halfway do this story if I stuck to it. Sadly I didn't. Luckily, the chapters them selves won't have any major thing connecting them, so you could read chapter 2 and still kinda know what's happening.

I do have another story that I will be posting as an apology, a Starcraft/Overwatch one called Similar Stories, so check it out if you think it will interest you.

Regardless, as I have lots of other ideas, I'm thinking that this story will be a sporadic update, so that I can focus on other stories that will be more plot oriented. Thanks to everyone who reviewed/followed/favourited, I should have responded to all the reviews, but if I didn't, review again, and I'll see it.

So review, be brutally honest, and I'll see ya in the next chapter!
