General Ironwood stood at the edge of his office, in his hidden base, starring out a window at the waterfall below. A look of pain and regret drawn on his face.

'I should never have allied myself with a madman,' He thought to himself.

"Where are they?" He asked the man standing behind him.

"Kuroyuri, a small village in Anima, run down by Grimm years ago. And…he has the girl."

In the deserted village of Kuroyuri, the painful screams of a girl being tortured echoed through the air. Inside one of the old destroyed homes, lying on the ground, tied up, laid Ruby Rose. Her face was covered in her own blood, one eye forced shut from a fractured eye socket.

"Wow, that looked like it really hurt," Spoke Roman Torchwick, standing above her, a huge, joyful, sickeningly smile on his face. Ruby spat out a mouthful of blood and began squirming, desperately trying to break free of the ropes tying her together. However, Torchwick slammed his cane into her stomach.

"Whoa, now, hang on. That looked like it hurt a lot more than the last one. So, let's try and clear this up, okay, pumpkin? What hurts more? A?" Roman slammed his cane straight down into Ruby's chest. "Or B?" He asked as he swung the cane across her face, breaking her nose. "Forehand? or backhand?" He asked as her as he continued to beat her.

Ruby began to heave and gurgle as she desperately tried to talk.

"A little louder, lamb chop," Roman instructed as he knelt down beside her. "I think you may have a collapsed lung. That always impedes the oratory." Ruby hurled a mouthful of blood onto the criminals face. "Now, that was just rude," Roman exclaimed as he wiped away the blood. "Looks like I'll have to teach you some manners." He placed his cane on Ruby's shattered nose and ever so slowly began to amply more and more pressure.

Ruby screamed out in pain as her torture continued.

"Where is the sister?" Ironwood asked.

"She's on her way. But, sir, she won't make it there in time."

Yang Xiao-long raced through the forest on her motor-cycle, speeding towards Kuroyuri.

"Well Red, I gotta go," Roman announced as he began heading to the door. "It's been fun though, right? Well, maybe a smidge more fun for me than you. I'm just guessing since you're being awful quiet. Anyway, be a good girl. Finish your homework and be in bed by nine. And, hey." A wicked smile came to his face that stretched from ear to ear. "Please tell big sis I said, hello." Roman began laughing manically as he shut the door leaving Ruby all alone.

Ruby slowly opened her least damaged eye and looked around the room from where she lay. Her aura was depleted, her body beaten, her will broken and her soul crushed.

'Escape,' She thought to herself as she painfully got onto her knees and began to painstakingly crawl her way to the door, a stream of blood trailing behind her. Eventually she reached the door and just when she thought she was getting out of that dreadful place she found the door was locked and unmoveable. With no chance of escape, she was about to let go of her grasp of life when she heard the sound of a bike in the distance.

'It's okay. Yang will be here soon. Soon.' Ruby thought to herself as the sound grew louder. Ruby turned around and leaned against the door, desperately trying to stay conscious. That's when she saw it. On the other side of the room was a bomb, the timer read ten seconds and was counting down. Fear clutched her heart as she now knew her fate was sealed.

Yang roared into the run down village just in time to see a house blow up right in front of her.

"NO!" She screamed as she launched herself off the bike and into the air. She came crashing down in the rubble, blasting away the debris with her gauntlets. Finally, she found her. And with tears streaking down her face and a feeling of failure overwhelming her, she picked up the beaten, bashed, burnt and mangled corpse of Ruby Rose.

Author's Note:

And so the story begins. This will follow the animated movie of under the red hood pretty closely but with a RWBY twist to it. Obviously Yang will take the Batman role and although Blake would usually suit that role better for the sake of this story I decided to make it Yang. Later in the story there will be flash backs showing how everyone dealt with the loss of Ruby. And unlike my other stories I have already written and completed this story so chapters should be coming out fairly regularly. However, that doesn't mean I'm not open to suggestions and am more than happy to make changes to the story.
