Ruby shouted as she ran up the glyphs her new partner had made against the side of the cliff, continuing to drag the massive nevermore Grimm along with her. Firing the gun in her scythe and using her semblance to gain more speed.

Her team members watched from the base of the cliff in awe. Ruby reached the top of the cliff and beheaded the bird shaped Grimm with a final swipe of Crescent Rose. The body and the head fell down the cliff while tuning into crimson rose petals, ruby's signature form of purification.

"that's my sis" yang shouted with a smile. Her hand out and her thumb up.

Ruby was about to go back to the edge of the cliff and wave to her makeshift team below when she spotted a glimmer of white behind the trees. Being the curious fifteen-year-old that she is, she went to see what it was. After a little bit of digging in the undergrowth she found a girl, not much older then she was.

The girl was wearing a green cloth wrapped in a cross around her chest, and black pants with a lot of pockets, blending in perfectly with the surrounding vegetation. Her hair as black as night and skin as white as freshly fallen snow. ruby could see white specs contrasting in her black hair, they looked like Grimm Armour hair clips.

ruby thought she was sleeping so gently nudged her to wake her up. When she didn't wake, ruby proceeded to violently shake the girl. That didn't work either, so ruby decided to pick her up and take her to the teachers who might know something about the girl sleeping in the Grimm infested forest without a visible weapon nearby.

The soon-to-be team RWBY watched as their youngest member walked away from the edge of the cliff and appear some minutes later holding a girl with a green cloth wrapped around her.

"and who would that be" Weiss asked when she spotted what the crimson and black dressed hunter-in-training was carrying.

"don' no" answered the yellow haired brawler "but I think were about to find out." As her sister jumped off the cliff and landed not so far away from them.

Ruby placed the girl on the ground and waited for her friends and teachers to turn up.


Ozpin had been watching the entire fight between the students and the nevermore with interest and was intrigued when they had trapped it against the wall and beheaded it.

"miss rose is very creative," he told Glynda. He was met with a humph for a response. "I wonder what she's doing at the top of that cliff though" as he watched one of his students throw a bunch of sticks and leaves behind her, like a dog digging a hole in the ground.

Glynda glanced at her boss at his comment and saw a very rare sight. Ozpin face was one of shock and surprise. It took a lot to surprise the headmaster of Beacon academy and whatever ruby rose had found had done that very easily. Now interested, Glynda grabbed her own scroll and watched the live feed video playing on it.

Ruby rose was carrying a girl about her age with the palest skin. Whoever this girl was, had managed to spread surprise and shock in the most stone faced and calm person Glynda knew.

She was even more curious when Ozpin said, "let's get her off the students hands."

The two teachers jumped from the cliff they had previously thrown the students off and ran to join the said students.


Ruby has been crouching next to the black-haired girl she found on top of the cliff and poking her face when her friends arrived and crowded around the girl.

"Who is she?" the white-haired heiress asked while staring at the girl trying to force her awake with her eyes.

"I do-" the scythe user started until she was cut off but a very exited older sister of hers.

"I wonder what weapon she uses. Or even if she does use a weapon. What if she's a citizen and she not meant to be here?" yang asked without waiting for an answer. "hay Ru were did ya find her?" this time waiting for an answer.

"I found her up there in the forest." Ruby supplied, pointing to the top of the cliff she had jumped off.

Blake just looked at the girl in interest. Mostly in her smell. The girl smelled of Grimm, not as if she had recently killed a lot and got their blood on her, but it was more like that was her stench. It made the cat Faunas very fascinated and cautious of the girl.

The four girls continued their conversation for a few more minutes before the headmaster and combat teacher appeared literally out of no were.

The headmaster walked up to the group of girls and said, "I'll take her for now."

"do you know who she is?" ruby asked the grey-haired professor suddenly protective of her find.

"yes. And because I know who she is I will be taking her, miss rose." the professor said.

Ruby calmed down "oh, ok." She stood up and stepped away from the girl she found. Allowing Ozpin to pick her up and throw her over his shoulder.

As Ozpin turned away to leave, Weiss asked a question they all wanted to know the answer too. "headmaster, who is she?"

The hunter paused in his stride. Turned sidelong to the girls and said, "her name is Ez. Anything else about her, is not my secret to tell." Then he left, closely followed by Glynda.


Later that day team RWBY became an officially register team in beacon. They had a dorm room assigned to them and were currently unpacking. When they discovered they had no room for all their stuff and the beds they turned them into bunk beds, much to the objections of the Schnee heiress. They finished setting up their room to discover it was dark outside. Deciding they should have a proper meal for dinner the team went to the cafeteria.

When they got there, they were waved to a table by a very energetic Nora of team JNPR.

They ate their separate meals in silence for a good ten minutes.

"so, what did you find on the cliffs that brought the attention of the headmaster?" Pyrrha asked the quiet team sharing the table.

"wait, how did you know?" asked ruby, not remembering them next to her when she came down from the cliffs.

The former gladiator was happy to supply "after we defeated the Death stalker, we watched ruby jump down the cliff carrying something. Then the headmaster appeared and took whatever it was you found away." Pyrrha paused after telling her simplified story. "and we were wondering what it was that made the headmaster of beacon come personally to grab."

Ruby answered "I found a girl. She has really really white skin and very black hair. Her names Ez. We don't know anything else about her." ruby ended sadly, "but we were planning to go ask Ozpin tomorrow after lessons. Wanna come?" she cheerfully asks.

"YES!" Nora, who had been quiet though out the entire conversation so far, yelled as loud as she could.

her loud affirmation startled everyone else using the cafeteria and got a rude comment from a certain racist bully. He got a hammer to the head. a certain rabbit Faunas was pleased with this.

Ren then told her "we can go as long as the team leader say so."

This made Nora stare at the team leader while hopping on her toes, waiting for the 'yes' she knew was coming.

"we can go and see this mystery girl team RWBY found." Jaune said as waved his hand is dismissal.

"WO-HOO!" Nora yelled out, just as loud, if not louder, then the first exclamation. She then returned to her stack of pancakes, wondering if she could borrow some ice-cream from the kitchen.


Ozpin had a lot of things to think of. After all, he ran the best huntsmen school in the world. The professor thought of many things most other would never be inclined to even consider. But Ozpin did it as to not only a prevent many casualty's in further Grimm attacks but also to stop wars before they start. He was responsible for saving countless lives and stopping countless Grimm. even if it was part of his job description.

But then Ez appeared. The problem and the solution.

He knew it wasn't all her fault and she was just doing what she had too. But some of the worst of it was her fault and many people had died by her hand, whether it be directly or indirectly. She was responsible for some of the worst wars in the continent. And the largest Grimm massacres in history. He knew this because he watched it with his own eyes, thanks to the curse the gods gave him. He lived the battles she caused accidentally or not. She was the thing he fought against.

Ez was the Grimm. And Ozpin was the huntsmen. And it was his duty to slay her.

But the thing is, Ozpin didn't blame her. she was always forgiven and almost always forgotten. No one remembers. Over time, even the scariest dangers fall into myths and legends. She had just done it countless times.

For Ozpin however, she was a friend and an ally he could trust above all else.

There was only one thing left to do.

Ozpin raised his cane and pointed it towards her head, took a sip of his coffee, and fired a dust enhanced shot into her skull.
