Author's Note- Hello people, I am WaterDragonMaverick. I have been around FanFiction for quite a while, but this is my first attempt at making a fanfic myself. This story will be about if Team RWBY and other characters from RWBY were in a Power Rangers setting with the struggle between good and evil, all the Power Rangers weapons, various enemies, and my personal favorite of Zord battles. I hope that you all enjoy this and constructive criticism would be helpful because I have never done this before now.

RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and was created by Monty Oum (R.I.P. you wonderfully talented man. We will never forget you)

Power Rangers was created by Haim Saban

"Darkness. That is how the world began. Stories and legends always tell of people being in times where everything seemed hopeless and all was lost. But, humanity has always been resourceful and have adapted to their conditions of living. When it has been discovering ways to brave the elements, constructing settlements for communities to live, defending themselves from attacking forces, or even just gathering information to further themselves. Humanity has survived countless experiences that have saved their species from extinction. So do not fret when you lose your way in life. Though the path may seem dark ahead, there is always a light to help guide you. If it is a way evolving yourself as a person or just a simple and kind soul that will help you in your time of need, you will always discover something you never knew before."

As this speech drew to a close, a tall man at 6'6" with silver hair began to step out from the shadows of a hallway and walked into a laboratory with highly advanced technology. He wore an emerald green suit with a black jacket and carried a walking stick. As the sounds of his footsteps and cane began to cease echoing when he entered the room, the man took a seat in front of one of the computers. As the emerald-clad man sat down, the consistent beeping from the computers and machines filled the lab. After a few minutes of research, two more people entered the room and began to speak with the gentleman at the computer.

A tall blonde woman at 6'3" (in heels) wearing glasses in a white blouse and black skirt spoke first and asked, "Professor Ozpin, are you sure about this? What if these people aren't ready for what you are about to do?"

The one called Ozpin replied after having a sip of his coffee, "Glynda, I assure you that they are ready. And if not, I am giving them a choice to participate. They can help us if they want, or go return to their regular lives. But, I know that they can help make a difference. After all, two of them are already involved despite them not knowing the full details."

"That is one thing that concerns me, though. Will they really go through with your offer without being told," Glynda questioned.

"It is entirely up to them in the first place, Glynda. I am sure that they will help us when the time comes," replied the second man. He was as tall as Ozpin and was wearing a white military ensemble. He had neatly groomed black hair that was turning white at his temples, was wearing a single glove on his right hand, and had a metal strip over one of his eyes.

"General Ironwood is right. They will help us if they choose. It is all up to them," Ozpin answered. "Now we just have to wait for their next move. Who knows what they have been planning for these past few years?"

In the city known as 'Emerald Vale', there are a number of areas to visit as a local or as a tourist. The shopping district where people can buy all the latest fashions, electronics, and advertised products. Numerous restaurants that cater to all kinds of tastes and styles of cuisine, clubs for dancing and entertainment, the community park for just relaxing and playing in the comfort of nature, movie theaters, arcades, and even the local amusement park to enjoy a day out with friends and family. But, the location most known in Emerald Vale is Beacon Academy that is claimed to be 'A signal to a better world by giving knowledge to those who walk through our gates'. This school is one of the most successful in the country and has been known to have students that are exceptionally bright and colorful in terms of personality.

"Wow! This place is so huge! I can't believe that I am going to go to school here," said a young girl with a red hoodie. She was a short teenager at 5'2" with short black hair that had red highlights, a gothic black and red dress under her hood, black and red boots, and a silver rose buckle on her dress skirt. But what was most interesting about her appearance, was her silver eyes that held a youthful look of optimism and excitement for adventure.

"OH! I am so happy that my little sister is going to school with me at Beacon! This is the best day ever," exclaimed a tall and beautiful blonde girl at 5'8" with a developed and fit figure as she gave her sister a bear hug. "Ruby, you are going to do great here! I just know it! We are going to have so much fun!"

"Please... stop... Yang! You're... suffocating me," Ruby cried out for help as Yang buried her into the elder sister's large chest. "Sorry, Ruby. Forgot about that," Yang apologized. Yang's attire consisted of a yellow tank top with a brown jacket over it, brown boots, an orange scarf, black leather shorts, and a half-skirt that matched her jacket. To complete her outfit, Yang had two golden bracelets on her wrists.

"Alright, the car is unpacked. Feels good to be back here again. It has been forever since I went to Beacon as a student," a blond man stated as he carried out two final bags of luggage from the trunk of his car. "I hope you two enjoy your time at Beacon until your next break from classes. I can't believe that my girls are going to the same school right now. Ruby, I had no clue that you would have gotten into Beacon two years early. But, looks like your uncle knew about your test scores and talked with his friends at the school board to get you in this year," Ruby and Yang's father started to tear up as he said this.

"Dad, you're embarrassing us", Ruby and Yang started to whine. "We can handle ourselves. Just go home and relax."

"Alright, I'll see you when I can", Taiyang said as he got back into the car. "See you girls later."

"Later, Dad," Ruby and Yang bid farewell to their father as a brunette girl walked up to the newcomers.

"Hello. Welcome to Beacon Academy. I'm Velvet Scarlatina from the School Welcoming Committee. You must be Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long", the brunette greeted as her rabbit ear hairband bobbed up and down in the wind.

"Hi! Hey," Ruby and Yang greeted respectively.

"Do you have your dorm assignments with you," Velvet inquired. Pulling out the letters from their pockets, the sisters found that they had the same dormitory number. "Perfect! This way to Summer Hall Dorms."

After a trip across campus, Ruby and Yang were taken to the Summer Hall where they got their room keys and dorm room assignment. "Here you are, Room 2012", said the RA as they gave the sisters each a key. "Just so that you know, you do have two other roommates. One is already unpacking in there now."

"I wonder what they're like," Ruby asked.

Yang replied, "C'mon! Let's go find out, sis."

As Ruby and Yang drew closer to their room, they found that the door was unlocked and some men in suits were bringing in some bags. A voice came from inside, "Thank you, gentlemen. That will be all."

As soon as the men left, Ruby came up with an idea that she thought would be great. "Yang, let's help our roommate unpack. It would go a lot faster."

"Great idea, Ruby! Let's go," Yang said in agreement.

As Ruby was the first to enter the room and was rushing to help, she did not see that there was more than just four suitcases in the room and crashed into a luggage cart that was stacked to the top with bags and cases marked with a snowflake logo. As the cart's load fell down with Ruby, she and Yang heard a cry of pain. "OW!"

The source of the voice was revealed to be a short woman about 5'3" in her platform heels and around Yang's age with long white hair in a side ponytail, wore an expensive-looking white and light blue dress with a matching jacket, had thin rectangular earrings and had a thin necklace that had a small apple-shaped pendant. "Who did that!? I demand that you show yourself!" In a bossy and irritated tone, she called out for who had knocked her luggage (and by extent, herself) to the ground.

"Ow. I didn't see that cart in the way when I turned. I am so sorry," Ruby apologized to the white-clad girl.

"You should have watched where you were going! I'll have you know that most of the items in my bags are worth more than your tuition here," the snow-haired girl exclaimed as she berated Ruby. "Wait a minute. Why are you here? Aren't you a little too young to attend a university like Beacon Academy? You should still be in high school!"

"Hey, calm down Ice Queen! My sister is smarter than you think. That is why she got to skip ahead to Beacon with me," Yang started to talk back.

"I am not an Ice Queen! For your information, I am Weiss Schnee," the 'Ice Queen' spoke out.

"Never heard of you," both Ruby and Yang answered with deadpan tones.

"WHAT!? How could not have heard of the Schnee D.U.S.T. Company," Weiss asked in surprise to the sisters' response.

Ruby confusingly asked, "Dust? What does a company do with dirt?" Before Weiss could answer Ruby's question, a new voice responded before her.

"Not that kind of dust. 'Dutifully Upgrading Society Today', the motto of the Schnee Corporation. A company that expands the technological and scientific endeavors of humanity by discovering new breakthroughs to help in various fields such as medicine, exploration, weapons development, vehicles, communication, and many other topics of research and development." The voice belonged to a bow-wearing dark-haired girl at 5'6" with a black vest and white t-shirt, white shorts, black and purple stockings, black boots, and was carrying a gray backpack while pulling two suitcases for her luggage. "And we are talking to the youngest daughter of the Schnee Company's CEO, the potential heiress of Schnee D.U.S.T., Weiss Schnee."

"At least somebody recognizes me," Weiss said with a satisfied smile on her face. "Glad to know that you did your research. May I ask who you are?"

"No need to be so formal when your father doesn't even care what school you chose to attend and just cut you off from the family fortune with only what you have in your savings account," the raven-haired woman stated.

"WHAT!? How did you learn about that," Weiss shouted as she was taken by surprise.

"Just because most people get their news from the internet today, doesn't mean that television and newspapers are obsolete. People need to learn more about that," the enigmatic teenager explained.

Ruby asked, "But, she did ask for your name. Can you please tell us since we all seem to be roommates?"

"Blake Belladonna," the girl introduced herself.

"I'm Yang Xiao Long! And this is my adorable genius sister, Ruby Rose," Yang ecstatically said. Weiss and Blake were a little confused by that statement, but Ruby explained for them.

"Same dad, different moms. That clear things up," the youngest told them and asked if the other two understood.

"Yeah. A little. But I am still not sure if you belong here, Ruby Rose", Weiss declared.

"Just wait and see! Ruby belongs here with the three of us! Now let's just unpack because classes don't start until tomorrow", Yang reminded everybody.

Ruby agreed, "Alright. Let's just divide the rooms up." Both Ruby and Yang simultaneously exclaimed, "I CALL TOP BUNK," as they raced to the beds to set down their luggage.

After about an hour of unpacking, Ruby and the others were finished because unlike Weiss, the other three chose to pack lightly with only a few novelties from home or put all they wanted in a separate bag. "Done! Finally, everything is unpacked and cleaned up," Yang declared as she fell to the floor. "Hey, turns out the carpet is nice and soft, too!"

"Wow, you're right! I want to make carpet angels," Ruby agreed wholeheartedly.

Weiss just rolled her eyes at the childishness of the sisters and asked, "So what should we do now?"

Yang immediately jumped back up onto her feet and answered, "I saw this great-looking Chinese Take-Out place in town. We should get some lunch."

Just as Blake was about to give another suggestion, the room was filled with a light growling sound that came from her stomach. "I guess Chinese would be good," Blake replied to her new roommates as her hunger gave away her answer.

Ruby was already out the door and waiting in the hallway as she grabbed her wallet and room key. "Come on! I'm starving! I want some dumplings!"

"Slow down, you dolt! You might run into someone else," Weiss shouted as she was proven correct when the sounds of Ruby colliding with another person were heard around the corner of the door.

"Ouch", Ruby whimpered. "Are you okay?" Ruby saw that the person she bumped into was a tall blond boy at 6'1" who wore a simple black hoodie and blue jeans with sneakers and two belts.

"Yeah, just fine. It's just my luck to get hit by another student when getting lost in the dorm hallways," replied the blond.

"Tough time getting to Beacon," Yang asked the boy.

"Yeah. I just got off the bus with my stuff this morning and I was exploring the campus, lost for hours because I forgot my map. I mean seriously, with my sense of direction today, you think I would fall off a cliff and into a forest below!" Ruby, Yang, and even Blake started to laugh a bit at the joke. "Glad to see somebody is enjoying themselves today. Even if it is at my expense. I'm Jaune."

Each of the girls introduced themselves, "Hi Jaune, I'm Ruby."

"Weiss."

"Blake."

"I'm Yang."

After greetings were shared, Blake noticed the paper on the floor and the room key that Jaune had with him. "Your dorm room is actually right across from us. Right there, Room 2013."

"Oh thank God. I thought I would be lost until dark," Jaune said in relief.

Ruby gave her two cents, "Looks like nobody else has shown up yet, so go ahead and start unpacking."

"Thanks girls. Guess I'll see you around often," Jaune said in an attempt to sound suave and charming, but fell back on his face when he tried to lean on the wall to complete the image he was going for. Jaune recovered and sheepishly said, "Hehehehe, I'm just gonna get inside now".

"Well, he seems like a nice guy", Yang awkwardly said to clear the air as Jaune closed his door.

"He certainly means well, but he isn't cut out for trying that kind of social interaction," Weiss added in.

Ruby chose this time to remind everyone of their original plan, "We'll see him plenty through the year. Right now though, Chinese food! Let's go!"

"Hmm, that's cool! This place also serves Japanese cuisine. Let's try some out," Yang took note of the restaurant as the girls reached their destination in town, 'Lotus Cloud Restaurant'.

Ruby responded, "As long as I still get dumplings, I am fine with whatever!"

"As long as it's healthy, I'll try something", Weiss stated to the others. As the four went in and sat down, a waiter arrived with some menus and asked for drink orders. With Ruby and Yang ordering soda, Blake got some tea and Weiss asked for a glass of water.

"So what looks good on the menu, ladies," Ruby inquired. "Because I am seeing pot stickers and fried rice for myself."

"Well, the lo mein noodles sound tasty to me. Sweet and sour chicken, too", Yang answered back.

"Guess I'll just have what you guys get and we share", Weiss decided.

Blake had stars in her eyes when she gave her answer, "Tekkadon sounds delicious. It's basically a bowl of rice topped with tuna."

"Well, since we know what to get, let's see if the waiter is back yet", Ruby stated as she closed her menu. Just as she turned around to see if the waiter was around, an orange and pink blur zoomed past Ruby and the table to latch onto a worker who was carrying plates of food to another group.

Ruby and the others saw several dishes fly into the air and everybody reacted at once to prevent any trouble. Weiss, Blake, and the waiter all grabbed full plates and empty glasses without spilling any of the meals, while Ruby and Yang worked with the mystery blur to catch several empty plates that were remaining. With the restaurant catastrophe avoided, the blur sheepishly apologized to the waiter and her tone sounded like the two have known each other for a long time. "Sorry, Ren. I just wanted to talk with you and didn't see your hands full with delicious food. I should have kept an eye on that because the last time we did that in the school kitchen last year, I accidentally caused a syrup geyser and pancakes stuck to everybody in the room and covered the walls in sweet maple goodness. Hahaha, that was a fun day, wasn't it!? We had to clean up the walls for days and don't even get me started on the ceiling when the pancakes on there kept falling on our heads! That was a riot and I loved the whole thing! Even if we did get in trouble with the principal that day, it was still great for our last year in high school and I can't wait for what other adventures we'll get into when classes start at Beacon tomorrow!"

"Did anybody follow that? Because all I heard was this high-pitched chattering like a squirrel that ate too much sugar," Yang let out because the girl who said all of that spoke in one continuous breath.

"That's Nora for you. She is just like that. Despite her faults, we have been friends since childhood," 'Ren' explained. Ren was of average height at 5'9", had long black hair in a low ponytail, currently had his waiter uniform of a long-sleeved black t-shirt and white pants on, and had a unique stripe of pink hair that matched his eye color.

Nora was a bubbly and energetic girl about a little shorter than Ruby's height at 5'1", had short orange hair, and was wearing a pink and white outfit of a t-shirt and shorts on. Her overall look at the moment mad it seem like she just finished at or was going to a local gym. "Still, it was a good thing you girls all jumped in at the right time. Otherwise, Ren would have dropped all that stuff and the would break on the floor. Food, glass, and ceramic everywhere! Ren and I would have to clean up the whole place if that did happen and I didn't want Ren to stay late again because he has had trouble sleeping lately and shouldn't miss the first day of classes tomorrow! We already have our dorm assignments and I didn't want him roaming town in the middle of the night just to get to Beacon Academy so that he would just fall to the floor of Summer Hall", Nora continued to babble on.

Yang picked up on the part about the Summer Hall and commented, "Oh yeah, those carpets are so soft though."

"Oh cool, I could do carpet angels! What room are you in?", Nora asked. Ruby pulled out her room key and showed the number to Nora and Ren. Nora read the number and exclaimed, "Ooh! We are just across from each other! We're neighbors!"

"Looks like it. Well, I think we could still go for lunch after what just happened. Let's order already", Ruby acknowledged and remembered their desired meals.

As the events at Lotus Cloud ended, the roommates all decided to spend the rest of the day at the park to relax after all of the chaos from earlier. During their relaxing time, the four had no idea that they were being watched ever since they met in the dorms. On a monitor in Ozpin's Laboratory, the events of Lotus Cloud when the girls reacted to the dishes were playing back again. "They show remarkable physical capabilities for doing what they did at the Lotus Cloud. Now we just have to wonder if they willing to accept the call when it comes," Ozpin remarked while paying close attention to the screens before shifting his attention to a different monitor that had a readout called 'Hunter'.

Glynda spoke, "We will know when it happens. It has been years since the first casualty occurred. So I just hope that we don't witness something that horrible again."

"It won't, Glynda. I have been working on everything since that day. You could say that it was my version of mourning our loss," Ironwood replied as he walked in with an adorable girl.

The new arrival was of average height at 5'5", had curly orange hair that reached her chin, wore a pink bow on the back of her head, has bright green eyes with irises slightly similar to a camera shutter, and had freckles under her cheeks. She was currently wearing an old-style blouse, gray feminine overalls in the style of a dress, and black stockings with green lines down the sides. Her neck was also black until her shoulders and had the same green lines as her stockings. She spoke in a chipper voice, "I have finished up the diagnostics of the current projects. A few more days and they should be ready for action, Sir!"

"Excellent work, Penny", Ironwood praised.

"Thank you, Sir", Penny saluted as she accepted the praise from the General.

Ozpin gave his observation, "We are proceeding excellently. But, I am still concerned with what our enemy might be planning. There is no tell-" Suddenly, an alert from one of the computers cut off Ozpin and everyone turned to what was on the screen.

Glynda took note of the images, "A robbery? That shouldn't warrant the alarm going off."

"Unless something on the criminal is causing it to register on our instruments", Ozpin theorized as he saw the thief run towards the park where Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang were in.

Alarms blared out loud from the bank after something like a powerful firework went off inside, shattering the windows and the sounds grabbed the girls' attention like a military parade. "What's going on," Weiss yelled as she and the others ran toward the source of the ringing.

"Come on! Let's find out," Ruby exclaimed as she lead the way of the makeshift team. As the girls were dashing down the pathway, somebody else was bolting towards them and away from the bank. The suspect was a tall man with orange hair that covered his right eye. He was wearing a black bowler hat, a white coat, and had a cane in his right hand while he carried a large bag on his shoulder. As the five met up in the middle of the path, the criminal spoke first.

"Well, I should be so lucky as to have four young women in front of me. But alas, I have other obligations, so I must bid farewell," he spoke in a calm and charming tone.

"You won't get away that easily! We have you outnumbered and we can stall you until the cops arrive," Ruby shouted at the apparent gentleman thief.

"You see, that would be a problem if I didn't have reinforcements. And luckily, Roman Torchwick always comes prepared," the introduced robber explained as he pulled something out of his coat pocket. Torchwick obtained a small black ball made of glass with red and white markings in the formation of an arcane eye.

"What's a marble going to do for you, Candlestick," Yang retorted with confidence that Torchwick was bluffing.

"Just this," Torchwick answered bluntly as he threw the glass orb to the ground hard enough to shatter it.

As the marble broke, a black sludge oozed out from the shards and the mixture started to rise into the air. All of a sudden, the slime started to merge with the glass and formed silhouettes with large pointed ears. The ooze started to solidify and reveal a small horde of goblin-like creatures. They were varying in size from 5 feet to 6 feet tall, had burning red glassy eyes, bone white plates on their faces to resemble masks, sharp blood-red claws, had pitch black scales covering their bodies, were covered in a thin coat of black sludge, and each carried a blunt machete-style weapon that was the same bone white and blood red as their faces. They all surrounded the girls who were startled at the creatures when they appeared. Torchwick spoke out with a callous and hostile voice, "Gremlins, kill them," and ran away with his score from the bank.

"What are these things?", Blake asked as she jumped back from a swinging machete.

Yang voiced her opinion while punching her fists together, "I don't know, but they're going down!" Aiming for the face, Yang managed to get in a right straight on one 'Gremlin' and knocked it to the ground. With it writhing in pain, Yang turned her attention to the next three and delivered a few quick jabs to their stomach areas before delivering a haymaker that took two of them out. The third one slashed away with their machete to try and harm the blonde brawler, but she was to quick and performed a slide to get out of the way. With an opening from the Gremlin's attack, Yang struck with an uppercut before kicking the goblin into two others that were rushing towards her and knocked all three out. Yang was face-to-face with two final Gremlins, "I'm not even breaking a sweat! Let's go!"

As the Gremlins lunged forward, Yang backfliped away from their attacks before kicking one in the face during a dash towards them. As the last creature she fought began to swing its weapon, Yang backhanded it away to disarm her foe and smashed down on the monster's head. "Nailed it," Yang said with a cocky smile on her face as she went to go help the others.

Ruby was dealing just as well as Yang did by punching Gremlins in the face with jabs, straights, and uppercuts. But, she was also kicking them in the legs to send them to the ground before smashing the top of the monsters' heads. She even swung from hanging branches to kick away the goblins and performed running dropkicks to send them to the ground. "These things are pretty tough! How come they came out of that glass bead," Ruby questioned as she dodged a swinging club.

The weapon missed the girl, but decimated a park bench and the girls noticed that. Weiss expressed her shock first, "These 'Gremlins' are stronger than they look. We have to be careful!" Weiss kept running from the black goblins until she saw a fallen tree branch a few feet in front of her. "That could be the right size. Let's see," the heiress observed as she cartwheeled over the branch, grabbed it in her left hand, and positioned herself into a fencing pose. With precision and technique, Weiss was able to parry several attacks from the Gremlins and inflict damage to them before her branch broke.

Blake was defending herself well against the Gremlins by utilizing ninjutsu techniques. With strikes to vital areas on the Gremlins and using the monsters' them, Blake was able to knock several out before she reached the destroyed bench from when Ruby was fighting earlier. "Maybe these could help me," Blake said as she grabbed two pieces of scrap metal and wielded them like swords. Blocking several slashes from the black creatures with one makeshift blade, Blake swung her second weapon at the vulnerable monsters and downed them with ease. Noticing that Weiss was without a weapon as a second wave of Gremlins came towards her, Blake reacted quickly. "Weiss, heads up," she exclaimed as she tossed one of her metal bars to the Schnee and returned to fighting her own enemies.

Weiss caught the new weapon and returned to her fencing pose before lunging at more Gremlins. After a few minutes, the girls were surrounded again and were too exhausted to fight back. "There's too many! They just keep getting back up," Weiss declared as she and the girls were against each others' backs.

Ruby defiantly shouted, "We can do this! No matter the cost, we will get through this battle!" As the Gremlins leaped at the girls, a gunshot sounded off and struck the airborne creature. As the goblin hit the ground, it shattered into glass again before the shards evaporated away in a puff of black smoke. As the girls and the Gremlins turned toward the source of the noise, it was revealed to be General Ironwood with a large revolver-like weapon.

"I think that you girls have proven yourself against these monsters long enough. Time to evacuate and debrief you," he spoke in a clear and powerful voice. Firing a few more shots, the revolver did not shoot ordinary bullets, but powerful lasers instead. Each blast hit its mark and destroyed the Gremlins in groups, while the girls were unharmed. Ironwood spoke into a communicator of sorts, "Penny, bring us in now."

As the General hung up, Ruby asked him, "Hey, wait. What's going on..." Before Ruby could finish her sentence, all five of them were surrounded by beams of colored light and they vanished from the park.

Five pillars of light flashed in Ozpin's laboratory that faded to reveal Ironwood standing upright on his feet, but the four girls were piled on top of each other because the sudden 'trip' caught them off guard. "Ow! Who's sitting on my head?"

"Whose hand is that?"

"This is uncomfortable"

"Yang! Suffocating again!" Each girl shouted out as they tried to escape the body pile that was themselves.

As Ruby managed to get her head and a hand out from underneath Yang, she noticed an orange-haired girl that was reaching down to help them. "Salutations! Please, allow me help you up", she excitedly said as Ruby grabbed her open hand. With a strong pull, Ruby was yanked out from the pile and everyone was no longer a pile of tangled limbs.

"Thanks. As I was saying before we fell, what's going on here? A bank robber showed up, he threw a marble at the ground, freaky goblin things showed up, and we were saved by some military guy with a giant laser revolver! I want some answers, please," Ruby thanked the girl who helped her up and expressed her concerns.

"You will learn everything soon. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself! I am the 'Potential Energizer Necessity Neo Youth'. But you can call me, Penny," Penny introduced herself with a happy salute. "I am a state-of-the-art cybernetic automaton that assists General Ironwood with his research and maintains the current projects of this facility."

As the others got up and heard this, they all were thinking the same thing and Ruby asked with stars in her eyes, "YOU'RE A ROBOT!?"

"Affirmative," Penny confirmed Ruby's excited query with a cheerful smile.

Ruby was practically bouncing up and down as she exclaimed, "I have always wanted a robot buddy!"

Penny was surprised at the younger girl's declaration and asked, "You would want a robot for a friend?"

"Oh yeah, Ruby's wanted to have a robot friend ever since she was 5. Every time she saw a robot in video games, movies, or TV, she would always get excited about it," Yang remarked with a smile at Ruby.

"Yang! Don't tell them that! People will think I am a kid," Ruby whined in complaint at her older sister.

"You are still a kid! You are just smart enough to go to Beacon Academy! You can still be young," Yang told Ruby in a motherly and caring tone.

After the moment between Ruby and Yang, Penny suddenly grabbed a hold of Ruby and gave her a tight hug. "Sensational! I have never had a friend before! I hope we can be the best of friends, Ruby," Penny happily said as she swung Ruby around like a ragdoll.

"I am glad for you, Penny. But, please let go. You are crushing my sides," Ruby announced to the ecstatic gynoid.

"Sorry," Penny apologized as she released the girl from her grip.

Yang took the time to just crack another joke before moving on, "So Ruby, which are worse? My hugs or Penny's?"

"We can discuss trivial things later. For now, I must explain what you girls fought in the park," said a voice emerging from the shadows of the doorway.

Ruby and the others took note of the newcomer's appearance and immediately recognized him. "Aren't you, Professor Ozpin? The school headmaster," Weiss inquired as Ozpin walked to a coffee pot and poured himself a fresh cup.

"Yes I am, Miss Schnee. And if you are wondering about what this place is, I'll tell you right now," Ozpin responded. "This facility is one of my laboratories located throughout campus. It is only accessible to select individuals. And you four, are now part of this inner circle."

"But what about that strange light show? Why did that happen and how did it bring us here," Yang asked in a very impatient tone.

"I did say it was only available to select people, Miss Xiao Long. Because it is under the Emerald Vale Clock Tower and some of the technology in the lab is used for teleportation platforms," Ozpin smirked as he gave the answer.

Blake reacted first, "Teleporting!? Are you for real? Why would you leave teleportation capabilities in this place?"

Ozpin took a sip of his coffee and turned on a monitor for everyone to see the monsters from the park, "These creatures you fought are called 'Gremlins'. They are foot soldiers used by an old enemy of mine. You see, there are dark and evil forces in the world. But, people have always tried to fight against them. Some have succeeded more than others, but the struggle continues for both sides."

"While most of humanity tends to fear evil, there have been beings who fought them for the greater good. Some are regular people that have long since been forgotten. Some are remembered for generations through stories like 'The Tower of Thorns' or 'Four Maidens: The Story of the Seasons'. Others are people who previously fought in great wars and passed the sights they saw on the battlefield to the people of their homes. But, the ones who I have helped are heroes that have been obscured by the flow of time, have defeated the forces of evil constantly through effort and teamwork, and made life for everybody in Emerald Vale peaceful until today."

"With the return of the Gremlins, it means that my old enemy has resurfaced after all these years and wants to fight once more. They have gotten new help from the looks of what happened in the park. Roman Torchwick is a dangerous wanted criminal, so he is even more trouble if he has backup from Gremlins and especially if he acquires weapons that the Gremlins' superiors can grant him," Ozpin finished his explanation.

"So what do you want us to do, Professor?", Ruby asked with a determined look on her face.

Ironwood came back with Glynda and Penny while he carried a case with him. Ozpin walked up to Ironwood and opened the case to pull out a small rectangular object. "This is a device we have created called a 'Morphing Scroll'. It can be called a 'Morpher' or 'Scroll' for short. They act similar to smartphones and tablets, but have a unique feature that only these devices have. By pressing the center button and saying 'Hunter Aura: Ranger Form', you can unlock the hidden potential that you can use and become Power Rangers," Ozpin explained. "If you choose to accept it, that is. I will understand if this is too much information for you, but I am offering a chance for all of you to save the world. That is why you applied to Beacon in the first place, correct?"

Ozpin was right with all the information coming in at once and the girls were wary of what could happen, but Ruby looked straight ahead and grabbed the first Morphing Scroll. "I'll do it. I want to be a hero just like I always saw in books and shows and video games! If this will let me help humanity, count be in," the silver-eyed girl declared as she placed the Scroll in her pocket.

Weiss was next, "If doing this will prove myself and be better than before, I will fight."

"Yeah! Sounds like fun! This will be a thrill to enjoy", Yang exclaimed as she grabbed her own.

Blake was last, "I have my reasons for doing this, but I will help if it means protecting humanity."

"Very well. The Scrolls also allow you to teleport to the Clock Tower whenever you choose. Just press the green gear icon and it will bring you here to the lab. By pressing it when you are already in here, it will take you to your destination of choice", Ozpin explained.

"So like, back to our dorm room," Ruby asked while flipping through the other apps on her Scroll's holographic display.

"Oh, cool! There are games here, Ruby! They can wirelessly connect to any system," Yang shouted.

Glynda spoke up, "We will alert you if there is any activity with Gremlins or other creatures you will encounter against the enemy. So for now, just head back and relax for a while. You do have classes tomorrow."

Ozpin also mentioned, "Some other teachers know of this deal, too. So, don't be surprised if you are sent to my office by them."

"Alright! Team RWBY, let's head off," Ruby declared as she teleported away.

"Since when are we calling ourselves that," Weiss questioned at Ruby's excitement.

Yang replied before she and Blake teleported away, "I think it sounds cool! Let's go with it on our door." Weiss gave a sigh in exasperation as she teleported back to the dorm room with the others.

"I didn't expect those kids to try and stop me, but at least those Gremlins distracted them enough to let me escape with my money," Torchwick said to himself as he lit a cigar and started smoking. He wandered into a warehouse district that was so run down, nobody ever went there. Which made it the perfect hiding spot for himself and hired goons to lay low until the police stopped looking. As Torchwick closed the door behind himself, he heard the sound of burning flames and realized who it was. "Hello, gorgeous. Nice to see you again."

"Save the charm for your heists, Roman. I understand you sent a Black Bead on some children," said a sultry female voice. The woman who had a flame dancing in her palm was a tall and sexy beauty at 5'11" (in heels), had ashen-black hair that fell over her left eye and shoulder, and her eyes were bright amber that seemed to burn like the fire in her hand. She wore an intricate off-shoulder crimson dress with yellow designs on her sleeves and back, black shorts underneath her dress, a simple black choker, a gold loop earring with a black gem on her right ear, high-heeled shoes that looked like black glass, and a jeweled anklet on her right leg. From the opening in the back of her dress, it was shown that she has a tattoo of two high-heeled shoes positioned sole to sole forming a heart shape in the middle.

"Those kids weren't worth the time to deal with personally, so I sent the Gremlins after them. Big deal. Is something actually wrong with it," Torchwick retorted back at the mystery woman.

Putting out the flame, the lady's eyes also changed brightness as she answered, "If the Gremlins were actually destroyed, it is a problem."

"Those kids actually beat the Gremlins on their own? I am impressed with that," Torchwick pondered.

"Which is why you need to investigate them more for me. If they are what I think they are, my master will need to hear the findings," the crimson-clad woman stated.

"If that's all there is Cinder, I will need more than one of those Gremlin marbles. And some extra things as well, in case things go south," Torchwick negotiated with the woman named 'Cinder'.

Cinder began to caress Torchwick's face and agreed, "Alright, I will give you and your partner a vehicle. Only because you are still of use to me. Do not disappoint me, Roman." As she finished speaking, Cinder's eyes started to glow again and Torchwick felt his cheek getting much too warm for comfort.

Moving Cinder's hand aside gently, Torchwick noted to her, "This is only for finding out if the girls are involved in something bigger, right? I'll get out of there after learning what you need."

"That would be the smart thing to do, Roman. But, my warning is still clear. I will not tolerate failure," Cinder told Torchwick as she left the building.

Torchwick took another puff of his cigar before noticing something on the table next to him. It was a small box and upon opening it, the criminal found not only two new Black Beads, but also a few red crystals that had Torchwick smirking when he saw them. "Oh, this will be excellent for tomorrow. Those kids won't know what hit them", Torchwick told himself as he pointed his cane at an empty crate.

As he squeezed the handle of his cane, the end of it opening up and formed a reticle for aiming. The reticle uncovered a muzzle on the cane and Torchwick pulled a trigger. A flare suddenly fired from the open end of the cane and destroyed not only the crate he aimed at, but three others next to it and sent burning splinters of wood everywhere. Torchwick just started to laugh at the destruction he caused while holding up his hands with the crystal in one and his cane in the other.
