Chapter 1
"Darkness, there was only darkness for the eye can see … no … there is light … light from the moon … yes the beautiful yet broken moon of the land, the land of remnant a place filled with mysteries yet unsolved, legends yet to be born, and monster's that should be never spoken of " spoke a unknown voice.
As the voice fades into the background the camera slowly moves up to moon, allowing the viewers to see in its broken glory.
…
...
NEIGH!
NEIGH!
NEIGH!
Was the sound that immediately shattered the silence, on the ground and were a group of four people that are riding horses under the pale light of the moon to somewhere.
After a few moments, the four knights eventually reached the edge of the forest where just a few meters away was a large crater that went deep underneath, they quickly departed from their horses and began to trek down to the center of the crater. After a few minutes the knights finally reached the center of the crater and there in the center of it was a figure wearing black robes that completely covered up the body.
"I see that you have taken up my challenge little knights, I'm surprised that you came all this way after all" spoke the figure in a feminine tone.
One of knights stepped up from the group and from the light of moon shows the knight to be garbed in plated armor that is colored white with gold outlining. eventually the other knights stepped forward from the shadow showing one of them to be colored green with pink highlights, bronze colored with gold highlights, and one that was white in pink but with white/orange highlights.
"Your reign of darkness ends here witch" announced the white knight.
"For too long have you destroyed the lives of families" coolly replied the green knight.
"For too long have you been able to destroys the land and pervert nature itself" stated the pink knight.
"For too long has your shadow cast the land in despair" said the bronze knight.
"TODAY IS THE DAY YOUR REIGN OF DARKNESS ENDS WITCH" announced the four knights in unison.
For a few moments only silent reign throughout the crater until the witch started giggle, then it turned into soft laughter, then became more and more loud until it turned into a full howl of laughter.
"~Pant~
…
~Pant~
…
~Pant~
I must say, that was the funniest thing I have heard in a while, as much as I like love your group humor I must say that this long quarrel with you four must come to a stop" replied the witch as her voice grew more colder and colder.
"After all you four are wearing clothing not meant for you apes like you" seethed the witch. The four knights quickly went into a ready position with their weapons "I have to warn you witch you aren't messing with anyone" said the pink knight. "You're messing with the ...
"Knights of color!"
Just as the knights were about to fight the scene started to change until it looked kind of like a picture from a story book. Eventually the screen panned out to reveal a young Ruby Rose standing near the grave of her mother, Summer Rose.
"And that is end of story, sadly the book never told if the knights had won or lost …. But you know what I think mom, I think they won because I read this story many times over and I have read about their battle with all the monsters they fought, I know they won.
Ruby than looked up to the sky in immediately realized that the sun was already going down, she quickly started to pack up. "Well mom, I guess it's time for me to get back before Yang starts to worry about me … and don't worry mom I be back later" said Ruby. She then began here trek back home.
It had been a few minutes since she left her mom grave and already the sun has already started to set. After a few more minutes of walking ruby soon came to a halt. She stood there for a few minutes.
"something following me" whispered Ruby to herself, she than closed her eyes and started to focus on the nearby sounds. For a few moments, it was as if the whole forest became silence, as if anticipating for something.
…
…
…
CRACK
Ruby immediately spun herself in the direction of where the noise pulling her sniper/scythe hybrid crescent rose and activated its sniper form. She stood there for a few moments before the bushes ahead of her started to rustle … … … until finally a little rabbit came out of bushes, she immediately let go of here breath afterwards.
"Whew, for a second there I thought you were something el- she did not finish her sentence before a large fist slammed into her face propelling her a couple of meters afar. Ruby quickly regained her bearings and switched crescent rose to its scythe from, she then slammed it into the ground using it to slow her down to stop. She than look up to where the fist had hit here.
Coming from the shadows was a 7 feet humanoid figure that had a pitch black with a bone white birdlike mask … it was a Grimm, a creature of dark, the eternal enemy of mankind since the dawn of time. This Grimm however looked much different than any other Grimm that ruby has fought, for one this Grimm had a humanoid shape and from a closer look she could there were red 'veins' covering the entire body, it seemed that the veins seem to originate from the eye sockets of the mask.
"What type of Grimm it that? I never heard a Grimm that looked like a human! Well, it doesn't matter right now I need understand what I'm fighting" thought Ruby, Ruby ripped crescent out of the ground and then activated her semblance. "Sorry but you messed with the wrong rose" stated Ruby before she charged the grim.
In split second crescent rose was upon the humanoid Grimm its blade ready to end the life if this monster, but just when crescent rose's blade was about to end the Grimm the monster tilted its head backwards just enough to avoid the attack. Before ruby could even react, the Grimm slammed its foot into ruby stomach before using her momentum to throw her into a nearby tree.
Once it had finish its previous action it soon cocked one of its arm backwards before launching it towards huntress but before it could connect to the huntress ruby used her aura to launch herself out of the tree and onto the branch of a nearby tree. the young huntress than launched herself further back before turning crescent rose back into its sniper mode and began unloading multiple rounds into beast's body.
The beast staggered from the multiple shots from the human but it was quickly able to regain its balance, it pulled both arms and threw them to the human. The arms than started to extend to inhuman levels and were able to hit the huntress torso.
Ruby immediately add aura to her torso protecting her from most of the damage from the fist but was still pushed back even further until she came to halt in large clearing with a rushing river just behind her.
"This Grimm is no joke; how did nobody even notice this Grimm before. Doesn't matter, right now ruby right now I need to get away from it and get help … wait … why is standing there?" thought ruby confusedly. As the young huntress was still in her thoughts the humanoid Grimm had finally appeared from the forest but instead of further attacking ruby it had instead just started to stand in place.
For a few moments, absolute silence filled the area with ruby trying to come up with any ideas to escape the beast while the beast itself seem content to just stand where it is until it finally moved.
The beast tilted its head upwards now with its eyes focus on the moon.
….
….
"RARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
As the beast had begun its roaring it body was starting to transform as well. The red 'veins' around the body started to grow until it reached the size that even a normal civilian could easily see them, the muscles than started to grow even more until they became bulkier than before, and finally the beast had grown at least 3 more feet more as well.
After a few moments, the beast than brought its head down revealing young ruby that it eyes had also changed, gone were the glow orbs of red that were filled with hatred now they were replaced by glowing orbs of pure magma filled with an insatiable malice/madness inside of them promising great pain to any and everyone.
Before the young huntress could even react, the beast had done something completely surprising, it had taken one of its arm and stabbed it into its own chest, it than pulled it out revealing a crystal easily the size of one of ruby's hand that had a green glow, it was dust, and the grimm pointed it towards ruby rose.
"Why does it have a dust crystal don't it know it can't use them, Grimm don't have souls?" thought ruby before the beast had soon committed something that forever shocked ruby as well as helped confirmed one of humanity's worst fears.
The red 'veins' started to glow intensity and then the dust itself started to glow brightly as well as having a dark tint to it, finally the beast crushed the crystal in its finger. The moment the crystal broke the beast was pushed back a few inches and ruby rose was immediately assaulted by multiple blades wind before she could even react causing multiple deep lacerations around here body as well as pushing here into the rushing river below.
...
For a few moments not one soul moved, the beast continued to look where the girls were once there after a few moments the beast started to revert into normal and slowly walked up.
The Grimm than proceed to take the weapon that was separated from its previous master and after a few moments of observing it the beast than started to trek back into the forest satisfied that the human is dead or will be soon.
XIAO-LONG HOME
"Ruby's late … she never this late even if there was Grimm she still wasn't this late" thought a worried Yang.
While Yang was confident that ruby was easily strong enough to handle most problems coming her way it still didn't stop her older sister from worrying over her younger sisters, not ever since yang adoptive mom/ruby real mom summer rose had died that fateful day as well as the wagon incident.
"Dammit its already 8 and ruby is still not back, something must had happened to her" said yang quietly to herself. She than got up from the couch and started to arm herself to find where her sister is at.
"Zwei watch the house while I'm gone" shouted yang.
"Don't worry sis mama yang is coming to save you" thought yang.
ELSEWHERE
...
...
...
Ruby Rose threw her head out of the water as she began to gasp for air.
"Where am I?" asked the confused huntress. The area that she was in was come kind of cave, there was a large hole on the top of the cave, and there was some land nearby.
Ruby quickly swam to the nearby land mass and climbed up to it. It took a few moments but she was finally able to get up on her legs even through the pain.
"Alright it seems that this is a cave, I think I can get out if I used the hole, if I use some aura … hey what's that?" said ruby.
A few meters away from ruby there seems to be some kind if tomb stone that looks to have been weathered throughout the eras and there also seems to moss growing around it as well. Seeing that she has nothing to lose at the moment ruby slowly walked up to grave stone.
As she got near the grave it seems that most of the writing on the stone has faded away, none of the less see wiped some of the moss away and tried to read the faded words. "To my … friend … knight … Jaune … arc"
Before she could continue to read anymore from the stone pain immediately shoot through her whole body, causing her to hiss in pain, forcing her to tightly clutch some of the wounds to prevent blood loss.
"Uh, whoops, sorry Mister Arc ,I think I got some blood on your grave, just let me move away from you" apologized ruby. As she soon stepped away from the grave she turned back her attention to where the large hole in ceiling and soon started to think how to get up there without putting too much pressure to her body as well as pushing her aura to stop the bleeding.
As ruby rose was in her thought she soon heard something, she immediately spun around looking around trying to see what or who made the noise. However, the noise seemed to only get slowly louder and after a while trying to find the noise she soon realized that it was coming from the grave itself.
"Oh, fudge I must have dropped crescent rose during the battle" ruby thought to herself as she went into a fighting position as her uncle Qrow had taught her in case her weapon wasn't available. After a few minutes the noise seemed to have stopped, ruby kept herself in fighting position a few more minutes longer.
Eventually ruby slowly dropped her guard down and slowly inched towards the grave, when she got there still was no sound coming.
"huh, I guess all that blood loss must have messed with my head "ruby said aloud.
Just as ruby was about to go back to her thoughts two long appendages sprung out from the grave wrapping themselves around her arms and forcing the young huntress onto the ground. Before she could even react, she saw that something was coming out of the grave, at first she could not see what it was due the angle she was in, but the creature than started to move towards her and thanks to the moon light coming from the hole she now could see what the creature was.
The creature was a … sailor uniform?
"What?" was the only thing ruby thought. The sailor uniform was primary white in color but had a gold/bronze trimming around it and it also had multicolored scarf that resembled eyes.
"blood … blood … blood … need blood" chanted the sailor uniform before it launched itself towards ruby, it than started to pull off the young huntress clothes startling her.
"Hey! S … s … stop that! Get off me you creep" screamed ruby. "H... He… Hey watch it, I'm doing a favor for you dammit, why wear that trash when you can wear me instead … come on just a few moments" responded the sailor uniform.
The struggle between human and clothing soon started to cause the dirt to kick up and clouded the two, after a second or two some clothes soon came from out of the dust cloud as well as an increase of screaming/arguing. Eventually one could now see periodic white glows from the dust cloud and a moan of two, the dust finally started to settle now showing a rough outline of ruby.
"eh … wh … what is this?" asked ruby with both embarrassment/confusion.
However, the young huntress started to feel ... funny, at first it was something kind of tingling feeling in her chest, before it felt like as if someone had open a floodgate within her causing her entire body to be filled with almost unlimited energy.
"Heh, as I thought, you are a compatible host for me" declared the uniform as ruby rose could no longer hold the bursting energy inside her, she released a large scream causing her body to be covered in a bright light before it shot itself through the hole creating a pillar raw energy for all those in the forest to see.
WITH YANG
"That sounded like ruby, don't worry ruby yang's coming!' thought yang, she then started to add as much aura into her legs pushing them to the limit to hopefully to reach the pillar of light that briefly appeared. As she continued to run she eventually came to a boulder, she than propelled herself towards the boulder and as she touched the boulder she than did a back flipped off the boulder avoiding the large arm that might have slammed into her.
She then turned around and saw the humanoid Grimm, immediately she was shocked by what she saw, not the fact that it had a humanoid appearance but what it was holding in its hand.
"How did you get that!" demanded yang, the beast did not respond, instead it swung crescent rose towards yang. Yang quickly dodged the scythe she then activated her gantlets and fired two rounds at the beast, the beast than started to bend its body avoiding the first bullet but was unable to avoid the second one that contacted its right shin.
The beast groaned in pain before jumping away to escape the range of the weapon which it concluded to be a close ranged one.
The beast than swung crescent rose in a wide arc forcing yang to move back, it then proceeded to use its other arm and launched it towards the yellow haired human. Yang than added aura to her right arm and threw it at the incoming fist. Both fist collided causing them to cancel out each other.
The huntress than added more aura to her legs and threw herself straight towards the enemy, she than at the last second fired a round from her right arm further propelling the human towards the Grimm and giving the beast of darkness an aura packed left hook right into the face. The beast was launched back a few meters away, it roared in pain from the injury dealt by the annoying human, seeing this human is more dangerous than the previous one it decided that it was best to transform immediately.
Yang covered her ears form the unexpected roar the Grimm gave and saw that the beast started to transform. "oh-no you don't bastard" angrily thought yang, she a gave a quick burst of aura to legs and propelled herself to the beast before small barrage of attacks on the midsection.
Just as she was about to finished her barrage her arm was grabbed by the now fully transformed Grimm which threw her around like a rag doll until filing her to boulder.
"~grunts in pain~ this Grimm more tougher than I thought I … I … going to kill him, slowly" seethed yang as she saw some of her precious hair fall down to the ground.
The young huntress gave a large war cry as she had activated her semblance, causing her hair to light on fire and turning her once purple eyes into a deep blood red color that seemed to promise untold misery to those looking at them.
The beast in an instance appeared right in front of the huntress quickly unleashing a barrage of attacks from crescent rose in a style that was scarily similar to that of the previous owner.
"What the! How did this Grimm even learned ruby's fighting style even though even though it looks to be bastardize from compared to the real one" thought yang as she became even more unnerved by the mysterious Grimm.
As the battle continued to rage on it soon became clear that yang was slowly losing ground to the Grimm, the Grimm had changed it tactics a few moments ago and starting to swing wildly than before, realizing that the human was able to predict most of its attacks, this forced the yellow haired huntress a block each attack unable to counterattack due to the frantic nature of Grimm's new fighting style.
Eventually the Grimm stopped its barrage and started to slowly walk back a few meters until finally stopping behind a nearby tree, normally yang would try to capitalize this moment but she too was exhausted from defending from the constant onslaught from the beast. The than in a surprising act causally threw away crescent rose. The beast than lurched forward before stabbing itself in the chest pulling out a dark brown dust crystal. The beasts 'veins' started to detach itself from the body and started to warp itself around the arm holding the crystal.
The crystal itself had started to glow before the beast slammed the arm into the earth itself. After a brief moment the beast ripped its arm from the ground revealing that the surrounding earth now covered the entire arm and there were spikes prodding form it as well. The beast slammed both its feet deep into the ground, it than threw its arm back to inhumane length before launching it forward at high speeds.
Yang still exhausted was unable to move in time to dodge the incoming fist and began to pump as much aura in front of her hoping it could absorb most of the damage, she then finally closed her eyes now waiting for the attack.
…
…
SWISH
Out of nowhere a large shield appeared from the bush, successfully striking the arm of the beast and detaching it from the rest of the body before it was able strike yang.
"What the! Who … RUBY … … wh … wha … …" was all yang could say before her jaw fell to the ground and her face turned pale white from horror from what her sister was wearing.
Coming from the forest was none other than Ruby Rose, but replaced with something different? Gone was the Gothic combat uniform and now replacing it was some kind armor … if you can call that armor to begin with.
The armor covered the top section of body from the lower jaw to the upper breast in a skimpy armor, the armor was connected to the skirt by three strings with two in the front and one on the back. On the chest, there was a small wing shaped crest on the center of her chest that was roughly U shaped, it also had a multi color pattern that resembled like eyes and there was a white ventilation grill on the center of her back. Ruby legs were changed, now wearing thigh-height, high-heeled boots.
The armor itself was white in color with gold accents on the edges of the armor. Ruby's face had also changed as well, now her hair had a more feathered look and was also a brighter shade of red than before, her face also look quite flushed with steam also practical coming out her ears.
…
…
…
silence was all there was in the battlefield, with one human to embarrass to speak, another human shock by what the other was wearing, and a Grimm that was still shocked from the loss of its arm.
"Umm, ruby I think we should be you know … killing the Grimm or something" the armor said breaking the silence.
"Umm, ummm, ye … yeah your right Jaune" responded ruby.
Ruby took a deep breath before jumping away from the incoming fist from the Grimm. Once in mid-air she than started to search around the area eventually finding what she was looking for, once she landed on the ground she then jumped on the trunk of a nearby tree using it as a springboard propelling the herself towards the object of her desire, she quickly grabbed it in mid-air than immediately did a few somersaults to help land on the ground.
Now ruby rose was ready with her precious crescent rose back in hand and her new sword in her other. "All right now it's time to show what happens when you messed with this rose" declared ruby.
In a quick burst of speed the beast appeared a few feet away from the human before swinging its remaining arm at her, but just as it was about to hit her the huntress had immediately flashed from the sight of the Grimm. The beast began to frantically look around trying to find the human before a few seconds later was kneed on the top of the head crashing it towards the ground and creating a small crater around it.
Ruby than brought crescent rose above the beast and swung down towards its neck. However, just as it was about connect to the neck the beast threw the red-haired huntress of its back, it then began to increase the distance between the human and itself.
Ruby caught herself on a nearby branch, she then dropped to the ground not before activating her semblance and shooting herself face to face with the monster in the span of a few seconds leaving an afterimage of herself shocking the Grimm.
The beast than unleashed a flurry of blows against the human putting of it strength in each attack. Once it had finished its barrage it and Yang were both shocked by what they saw. Ruby rose had not a single bruise or blemish on her body and instead had an annoyed look on her face.
"Hmph, is that all you got? … well if that's all than I guess it's time to show what I can now do" declared Ruby. The straps on her began to tighten up and steam started to vent out of the grill on her back as under her skirt as well.
The huntress than stabbed crescent rose into the Grimm's chest causing black blood to spurt out. Than in a moment of pure herculean strength threw the beast straight into the air.
"Ruby lets end this" roared Jaune, Ruby merely nodded her head before launching herself straight above the beast.
"Take this!" she shouted as she raised the sword in her other upward and then began to unleash a furry of slashes against the beast completely obliterating the beast into thousands of pieces.
From the corpse of the humanoid Grimm came out a small red string that floated towards the huntress before merging with the rest of the armor.
"Ruby …" thought yang as she saw her young sister crashing into the ground, she gave a mental sigh "baby steps ruby baby steps".
"ow, ow, ow, note to self-work on landing a bit more" said ruby to herself, "don't worry ruby I'm sure you perfect it in no time, anyway I'm going to change back, I already consumed a lot of blood from you already and I don't want my new partner to die from blood loss now" said Jaune as he started to revert into his sailor uniform form as Yang approached her younger sister/
"Uh, hey Yang I guess you might be wondering about all that stuff and I promise I explain everything … once I get a shower, nap, and a plate of cookies" said ruby as she saw the demanding look in Yang's eyes.
Yang gave ruby a long hard stare for a few moments, causing to ruby to fidget a bit, until finally gave up giving a loud sigh.
"let's just talk about this tomorrow then fair I think we both had a long night" told yang, ruby quickly gave nod. Feeling satisfied both sisters than started the trek about thinking about the day and what is in store for tomorrow.
