Leave Earth, Enter Remnant! The Party that would be Family!

(A/N - Hiya Rwby fans! I hope this first chapter will be good enough to catch your interest in this story. I have written other Rwby fanfiction on a different account but was testing if anyone would want to see more on this idea. I don't plan on remaking the same story we all seen so canon breaking is here and there. I'm also open to advice and suggestions as to where the story should go. I hope you'll all leave a comment or something, now begin the story!)

Ruby Rose sighed as she leaned back in her seat, the chair cold and ancient-looking with barely any cushion left, tore away by the years of service. She was chewing gum and blowing bubbles as she was turning up the volume on her headphones. She was alone and wouldn't hear people complaining about it or glaring at her. Ruby was never an enormous fan of the subway as she would rather be running but her father would ask her to take the train as it was faster and safer. She loved her dad but his overprotective tendencies did piss off the free-spirited girl at times, boredom would always hit her as she watched the car past station after station. She relaxed in her chair and closed her eyes, silently singing the words to her favorite song.

I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute

Couldn't bear another day without you in it

All of the joy that I had known for all my life

Was stripped away from me the minute that you died

Just as the girl was getting into her song, a man dressed in all black and wearing dark sunglasses sat across from her. The man seemed to look at her before looking down at a suitcase he had with him. Ruby looked at the man but quickly ignored him as she wasn't the most extroverted person in the world and she was used to stares as she wore her bright red hood that extended into a cape, a handmade gift that never left her side. Over the next two stops, Ruby would glance at the man but he never seemed to move at all. She soon lost herself in her music again and when she felt the train stop she opened her eyes to see the man was gone but his suitcase was still there.

Ruby looked around and into the station, they had stopped at but there was no one there, glancing at the case was a note written in bold capital letters on top of what seemed to be a kind of slick metallic headset. FOR THE ROSE THAT SEEKS TO LEAVE HER WORLD BEHIND, ALL YOU MUST DO IS OPEN YOUR MIND.

She read the note several times before looking at the headset that was a fiery red with a rose engraved on the side. "I don't know what you're playing at but you're crazy if you think I'm wearing that thing…" Ruby whispered to no one as she sat back down, waiting as her stop came and before she got off the train, she glanced back and sighed before she quickly took the headset.

She ran home with the headset in her bag, running a bit out of town to a small cottage that her father had made himself. It was the wedding gift he had given to her mother when they got married, a memory he cherished. She opened the door and was immediately attacked by a small corgi rubbing against her legs. She smiled and rubbed her dog, hugging him, and petting under his chin. "Heya Zwei, who's the greatest dog in the whole world huh? You are! Where's dad?" she asked the pup as she looked around, the lights were off and a note was on the table next to a bowl of cookies.

She gave a sad smile as she knew what that meant, another business trip and another week alone. Her father was an impressive college professor but the work would take him around the country for meetings and left Ruby alone. She would never complain as she knew how hard things were for him and that work helped take his mind away but she would like to watch a movie with her father like they did when she was little. She ignored the note and nibbled on a few cookies as she fed and cleaned up after Zwei, going to her room with the corgi as she wasn't hungry for anything but the cookies.

She sighed and tossed off her cape and bag on her bed before lying on it, petting her dog as he rested on her stomach. She turned and the red shimmer of the headset caught her eye, causing her to pull out the headset and start examining it closely. There were no wires or anything really, she wondered how it worked until she lifted it to her eyes and a scanner activated. She dropped the set but after making sure there was no immediate danger, she looked into it again and the scanner started automatically and stopped and began to speak.

"Subject Eight scanned, Ruby Rose identified and accepted as a player. Remnant Online activated, starting location Vale. Mental scan of weapon and character customization completed. Voice command needed."

Ruby blinked as she saw a 3D model of herself in a red and black skirt with what seemed to be an enormous scythe beside it. She noticed that the machine kept asking for a voice command and she decided why not. "Game… Start?"

Ruby Rose opened her eyes as she seemed to be in a strange store that had colorful capsules everywhere, her headphones playing Red like Roses part II and a weapon magazine in her hands that had some impressive looking weapons in it, most seem to be combination weapons. Her attention was pulled away as a man with a gun tapped her shoulder and motioned for her to take off her headphones.

"Can I help ya?" She asked as she looked up, a number one appearing above his head with a long green bar.

"Yeah shrimp, we're taking all the cash you got along with those headphones." the man said as he pointed a gun at her

"Ohh so I'm being robbed… okay." She narrowed her eyes at the man, a targeting system appeared on him as she felt someone in her click. She attempted to tackle the thug, accidentally using her semblance and tackling him out of the shop through a window. She rolled along the ground and groaned before standing and someone walked out of the shop, someone who had a twenty above his head and was clapping for her.

"So they finally got a new player in this huh? That makes like five? I was worried that I would be taking out all this place alone. Okay rookie, let's see what you can do. If you lose you can say that you were beaten by the great Roman Torchwick." The man spun a cane as he took aim at her and began to shoot it like a gun. Ruby ran and accidentally used her speed again, slamming right into a hotdog stand. She groaned as she dodged his bullets. "Wow, you are like, really bad at this. You can't dodge forever." Ruby gritted her teeth as she knew he was right but she didn't know what to do until her hand touched something on her back. She grabbed the item as it extended into a scythe.

"Okay then, if you wanna fight let's go then!" Ruby shouted as she spun the scythe and noticed how natural and light the scythe was as if it belonged in her arms. She rushed at the man and the swipe at him but he blocked it and kicked her away.

"You should run away now, you're out of your league girl." Ruby retaliated by digging the blade into the street before using the gun to propel herself forward and kicking the man in the face. He rolled and jumped at her, using quick and small attacks to break through her open attempts to block, slowing causing damage. Ruby cursed as she could feel herself growing weaker, so she grabbed the man and used her semblance to go high into the air and slam them both hard onto the roof of the shop. Both fighters struggled to their feet but Roman was faster.

"Not bad Red, you could have been a pretty good player. Best I take care of that now." Before he could finish off the girl the ground under him was blown up and he smashed into the dust below. This caused a small explosion that knocked Ruby away into the arms of a woman with glasses. She looked above the lady's head and could see that her name was Glynda Goodwitch, a lawful good NPC. The reaper felt safe enough to close her eyes and allow her health to regenerate as Roman climbed out of the shop hurt but alive. He ordered his remaining men to fire at the woman as he escaped.

. . .

Ruby opened her eyes to a white-haired man who wore glasses and seemed to like the color green. The room seemed to be some kind of interrogation room. For a moment, she was afraid that she was back in the real world and about to be questioned about having a piece of tech she wasn't meant to have but the fear vanished when she saw her scythe nearby. She looked above the man's head and saw all the information on him was blurred and unreadable.

"Hello Miss Rose, I see that you are already making a name for yourself." He said as he offered her some cookies and pointed above her head. Her level now read two and Ruby began eating the cookies.

"Oh, the fight! Did that guy get away? Where am I? Who are you? What was that speed thing I did?!" All the questions came out of her mouth as she was excited for what else this game had to show her.

"Heh well all your questions will be answered in time but I can say that the criminal did get away sadly. You, however, did put up a nice fight. My associate could see you were in need of a bit of help so she brought you to me. I came up with just the thing, I'm going to set you up with a team. A party if you will." Ruby thought about that, not really wanting help or people she was forced to talk to but at the same time she needed the help and might be able to finally make a real friend.

"...Okay then, I'll join."

"Perfect, I'm Professor Ozpin and I'd like to introduce you to the other members of team RWBY!"
