Ruby stumbled and fell onto the ground after the flash of light ended. A few people who were near her when she appeared jumped back in shock and confusion, wondering who this new person is and why she looks like an older version of Ruby Rose, the girl who got into Beacon two years early, and got into a team consisting of her sister, Weiss Schnee and Blake Belladonna naming it Team RWBY. Anyway, one of the people around here helped her up and dusted her off and Ruby looked to see who helped her out, and saw it was one of her friends, Velvet Scarlatina. It took all her strength not to hug the life out of her.

"When is the Vytal Festival?" Ruby asked, trying to keep the pain out her voice from the gun shot wound in her arm as she covered it with her hand.

Velvet jumped slightly confused but answered her anyway, "It's in a few months. Why?" She looked at her confused. "Who are you? And why do you look like Ruby Rose? And why are you bleeding?"

Ruby laughed a little, "Straight to the point huh? Well how about we get this bullet out of my shoulder and I might….just might, explain it all to you." She smirked a little which was probably more of a grimace of pain than anything. Velvet pouted at not getting an answer but took her to team CVFY's room.

"Huh. I was thinking more like, you know, the infirmary." Ruby said with a raised eyebrow.

"Well if you are Ruby from the future, you should remember that Coco has a med kit in here." Velvet smirked a little. Ruby nodded with a small shrug, showing she was right.

"I said nothing about the future, Fluff Butt." Ruby smirked as she used her nickname for Velvet. "Why would you think I'm a future version of a friend of yours?"

"You look like her. Besides, Ruby has been in here multiple times when her team has gone on a few missions without her in the past few weeks, mainly due to her hatred of being alone and having nightmares." Velvet said. "She's also helped Coco with wounds when the fashionista couldn't get me or Yatsu to help her."

Ruby nodded a little, remembering all the times she's been in their room. She hissed in pain when Velvet poured some rubbing alcohol on the wound and started to take the bullet out of her arm.

"Watch it Fluff Butt! That hurts!" Ruby growled out. Velvet gave her a look that basically said 'No shit, Sherlock' making Ruby pout and look away.

"Could have warned me about it." The older girl whined making Velvet laugh.

"Yep, definitely the Ruby I remember." She smiled as she stitched up her arm after getting the bullet out. "Now explain." She glared at her before yelping as Ruby shot her a sharp look, making her look down nervously and scared. "P-Please?" She said timidly. Ruby rolled her eyes.

"Fine. To answer your earlier questions: I am Ruby Rose and yes, I'm the future version of her, that's why I look like her. As for why I was bleeding, I was shot. The reason I came back to the past is because the future is a shit show. Everyone, and I mean, EVERYONE, is dead. I was the only survivor. The last out of everyone to die was my wife however…." Ruby stopped after she said that and looked down before saying "Anyway, the only people who fought in the resistance were Me, Yang, Weiss, Blake, Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora, Ren, Cardin, Russel, Dove, Sky, Coco, you, Yatsuhashi, Fox, Penny, Ciel, Flynt, Neon, Arslan, Glynda, Oscar/Ozpin, Sienna, Kali, Ghira, Ironwood, Maria, May, Neo, Emerald, Mercury, Oobleck, Port, Summer, Raven, Qrow, Tai, Reese, Sun, Neptune, Winter, Zwei and Glynda….and yes, my dog Zwei really did fight. He's a hurricane of destruction when given a target. And I'll tell you who a few of those people are later. I came back because I'm the only one in humanity on the good side in the future while everyone who is alive, such as the White Fang and so on, they sided with the bad guys. Oh right, I did forget that Ilia sided with us….she died as well….anyway." Ruby scowled, annoyed at having to remember everything. "Everything went to shit on the….second or third day of the Vytal Festival when Cinder Fall allowed Grimm to attack the stadium and the White Fang attacked as well, destroying Beacon. My team and Jaune's team did go on and try get help from Haven, Mistral and Atlas and a few other places, but every place seemed to be on Salem's side or close to joining due to her mass in power. We had a year or two of peace after I lost my eye and arm….but we really should have thought more about it than just thinking 'Oh hey, we're at peace. No need to fight…' that cost us big time. So I came back after finishing the time machine Weiss and few other people were making, even made a smaller version of it just in case I got here a few days before it all goes down."

"….Who is your wife? Or was?" Velvet asked gently hugging Ruby.

"One of the people I'll fight against in the tournament. Arslan Atlan. Lion Faunus. She calls me a cub or Little Rose…mainly due to being in Beacon two years before the normal time. And because I was way too innocent. I mean honestly, at 15, who doesn't know what sex is? Or how to cuss?" She scoffs slightly at her own naivism.

"You, apparently. Now I think you should go talk to Ozpin." Velvet said after she finished wrapping up the wound. "He needs to know what's up and what he needs to do."

"Train everyone, arrest or kill Cinder, and then actually do what he should have done years ago." Ruby growled as she got up and stormed to the tallest tower at Beacon, intending to give the soul changing bastard a piece of her mind.
