Volume 1: Ruby Rose

Fade-in to an image of Beacon Academy.




Narrator: Legends. Stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past.The gems in the image glow green and fade to show simple pictures of a man rising from the earth before being surrounded by creatures, barely held back by warriors.




Narrator: Man, born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful, but he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness — creatures of destruction — the creatures of Grimm - set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed, and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void.Black sets in, then suddenly lessens as a light grows brighter and brighter until a gem rises from it and lowers itself into the hands of man.




Narrator: However, even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change, and in time, man's passion, resourcefulness, and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named "Dust". 


The scene zooms out to show men shooting lightning, raising swords, and aiming rifles at the retreating beasts as a castle appears behind them.


Narrator: Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness, and in the shadow's absence came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life.


The castle zooms out to show a map of Remnant, which houses other buildings until they disappear in flashes of white and the map is lowered to show the scattered moon over a city at night.




Narrator: But even the most brilliant lights eventually flicker and die. And when they are gone... darkness will return.




Roman Torchwick and four of his henchmen head down an alley from the shadows. They stop behind Roman, who reignites his cigar without touching it and grins before walking down the road, frightening nearby citizens as they make their way towards the shop From Dust Till Dawn.




Narrator: So you may prepare your guardians, build your monuments to a so-called "free world", but take heed... there will be no victory in strength.




Roman and his henchmen enter the shop, the camera lowering to a young girl wearing a hooded red cloak in the corner of the shop, reading a weapons magazine.




Ozpin (voice over): But perhaps victory is in the simpler things that you've long forgotten. Things that require a smaller, more honest soul.




As Roman and his men walk into the shop Our Red male Hero Omega He was waiting for Ruby To get in trouble. She just so has as Kicks a Guy through a window. Omega then Jumps down And takes on the grunts taking them out.


Roman: Well you guys are worth every cent. Well Reds I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around... (raises his cane and opens the bottom to reveal a rifle with a cross grid) ...I'm afraid this is where we part ways.


(Roman Fires a Bomb But Omega Actives his Overdrive to Tank the hit)


Ruby: BROTHER!  You ok


Omega: Ya. What the hell Ruby.


Ruby: I'm sorry


Omega: It's ok. At least try and stay here.  Let at least someone with more experience Try and help you. (Omega runs to where Roman might be at)


Omega was right But Before He could Do anything Ruby came in


Omega: Why must you be like this. 


Ruby: Hey!




Roman: (stopping at the edge) Persistent...




Ruby readies to fight him, but a getaway Bullhead rises up and opens the hatch to allow Roman inside.




Roman: (turning around and holding up a red Dust gem) End of the line, Reds.




He throws it out at her feet and fires at her, resulting in a large explosion.




Roman: Whoa-ho-ho-ho! (stops laughing when he sees something on the roof) Huh?




Omega has not only had his Arms in an X ready to take the hit. But a woman in a purple cape is now in front of Ruby, casting a circle of protection over them with her wand. As Ruby and Omega looks on, Glynda Goodwitch waves her weapon and summons several streaks of purple at the craft. Roman is thrown around in the back until he goes to the cockpit, where a woman in red, her face unseen, is struggling with the controls.


Roman: We got a Huntress!




The woman gets up and heads toward the back as Roman takes the controls.




Glynda glows purple for a moment and aims another blast above the craft, resulting in a dark storm-cloud right over the jet.




Omega and Roman: The hell...?


With a flick of her wand, large jagged hail starts falling that pummels the jet and even breaks through the window, narrowly missing Roman's head.


With that the fight is on As Omega Summons Joy V2 and Fires it on the bullhead engines hitting them Soon The girl gose at Omega Who Dodges the attacks and Aims At her and hits her multiple times Almost shattering her aura.


The woman reaches the back and her arms and chest light up like fire, aiming a burst of energy at Glynda. The Huntress blocks it, but the flame splatters behind her and glows hot with the enemy's raised hand. Glynda back-flips out of the explosion, which destroys part of the roof, and magically gathers the shards to create a large arrow, which she throws at the craft. The fiery woman shatters the arrow with several blasts, but it reforms just in time to hit the side of the jet due to Roman's quick aerial lean. The wreckage separates and reshapes into more arrows that encircle the jet, but the woman summons several glowing rings around herself that expand and destroy the shards.




Ruby, finally acting, reverts her scythe into its rifle form to fire at the woman, who blocks each shot and creates several blazing circles around her two opponents. Glynda telekinetically pushes Ruby and Omega and rolls herself out of the explosion's radius; looking up to see the hatch close and the craft fly away.




Omega: thanks.


Ruby: (looking at Glynda) You're a Huntress! (putting on a pleading, awe-stricken face) Can I have your autograph?!


Omega: Sis. No.


The scene cuts to Ruby's amazed face turn to one of shame as Glynda, with a tablet computer, paces around the table Ruby is seated at, right underneath a bright light in the otherwise dark room. Meanwhile Omega is sitting next to his sister Cleaning Joy.


Glynda: I hope that you two realize that both your actions tonight will not be taken lightly, young lady. You put yourself and others in great danger.


Omega grumbles away.


Ruby: They started it!




Glynda: If it were up to me, you'd be sent home... With a pat on the back... (she notices Ruby's smile) ...And a slap on the wrist." (she demonstrates with her riding crop Though It didn't hit the table as Omega Grabs a Hold of it His Sliver eyes glowing a bit scaring her for a bit before regaining composer) But... there is someone here who would like to meet you.


She moves out of the way so a surprised Ruby can see a man in green come through the doorway, holding a mug and a plate of cookies.


Ozpin: Ruby and Omega Rose... (leans in to look at her face) You both have silver eyes.


Omega: That's right don't wear the fact out.


Ruby: Uh, um...




Ozpin: So! Where did you two learn to do this? (gesturing with his head at the tablet showing Ruby and Omega's fighting)




Ruby: S-Signal Academy.




Omega: Signal Academy. Sir. With some Traveling here and there like teachings.


Ozpin: (to Ruby) They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed? 


Omega coughs a bit


Ozpin: Other then hand to hand combat


Omega: thank you.


Ruby: Well, one teacher in particular.




Ozpin: I see...




He puts the cookies on the table in front of Ruby and a pack of Cigs for Omega. Ruby tentatively picks one up, eats it in a single bite, and then, not seeing any rebuttal, shovels the rest into her mouth. As for Omega. He Grabs the Cigs opens it putting one in his mouth and Smokes it. Thanks to Ironwood. Omega has Cybernetic Lungs For his Request. With them Omega is able to Smoke with out the repercussions of His Now them reincarnated lungs damaged. He lights up his Cig and gose outside to Smoke it Making sure Ruby dosen't take the Smoke. After that he gose back inside and continues the questions




Ozpin: It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before. A dusty, old crow...




Ruby: (mumbles through her full mouth) Oh! That's my uncle! (she then swallows and wipes her mouth, embarrassed) Sorry. That's my Uncle Qrow! He's a teacher at Signal. I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing. And now, I'm all like— Hooowaaah! Witchaaaa! (proceeds to make some karate-style poses and noises)




Omega dryly chuckles as he grab's the cig pack and stores it in his armor.


Ozpin: So I've noticed. (placing his cup on the table as he leans in, then sits down opposite Ruby) And what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?




Ruby: Well... I want to be a Huntress.




Ozpin: You want to slay monsters?




Ruby: Yeah! I only have two more years of training left at Signal! And then I'm going to apply to Beacon! (talking faster and faster with her enthusiasm growing) You see, my sister's starting there this year, and she's trying to become a Huntress, and I'm trying to become a Huntress 'cause I wanna help people. My parents always taught us to help others, so I thought, Hey, I might as well make a career out of it! (giggles) I mean the police are alright, but Huntsmen and Huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and cool and really, gosh, you know! (flips out at the last part, staring at the two with a wide, crazy smile)




Glynda, Omega and Ozpin study her.




Ozpin: Do you know who I am?




Ruby and Omega: You're Professor Ozpin. You're the headmaster at Beacon.




Ozpin: (smiling) Hello.




Omega: Good meeting you.


Ruby: Nice to meet you.




Ozpin: (to Ruby) You want to come to my school?




Ruby: More than anything.




Ozpin: (exchanging glances with Glynda, who shows her disapproval with a "Hmmph" before he turns back to Ruby) Well, okay.




Ruby smiles, wide-eyed and open-mouthed.




Omega: Good Job. Not only did you "try" to take on Someone that may or may not have Huntsmen Training but you also was able to Skip two years into a School of your dreams With your Over protective Sister and Brother


Ruby: OMEGA!


Omega Just straight Laughs which shocks Ruby


Ruby: WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BROTHER!


The scene changes again as Yang Xiao Long tackles her sister in a hug aboard the large Vale Airship to Beacon, crushing the air out of her.




Yang: Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me and Big bro! This is the best day ever!




Ruby: (gasping) Please stop.




Yang: (releasing her sister) But I'm so proud of you!




Ruby: Really Sis, it was nothing.




Yang: What do you mean? It was incredible! Everyone at Beacon is going to think you're the bee's knees.




Ruby: I don't want to be the "bee's knees", okay? I don't want to be any kind of knees! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees.




Yang: What's with you? Aren't you excited?




Ruby: Of course I'm excited... I just... (sighing) "I got moved ahead two years. I don't want people to think I'm special or anything.




Yang: (going over and giving her sister a one-armed hug) But you are special.




Omega: Sis. I hate to break to ya. I would feel the same If you accepted yourself 2 year into the biggest huntsmen School Ever.


Yang: Just promise me you won't smoke. 


Omega: Yang. I replaced my Lungs with cybernetic lungs that can do more then what normal organic lungs. 


Yang: then do it when Me and ruby aren't around.


Omega: ok.


The girls' attention is drawn to the 2-D animated newscast on Vale News Network playing nearby, talking about the robbery and showing Roman's mug shot.




Cyril: The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department. Back to you, Lisa.




The mugshot changes to Lisa Lavender, with a photo of animal-eared demonstrators holding signs saying "WE ARE NOT ANIMALS!" followed by an image of the logo of a growling red wolf's head with three scratch marks.




Lisa: Thank you, Cyril. In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now disrupted...




Omega: I really wish the white fang Could go back to be peaceful.


The news feed is cut off as a hologram of Glynda replaces it.




Glynda: Hello, and welcome to Beacon!




Yang: Who's that?




Omega: Our Combat instructor


Yang: Oh.




Glynda: You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." (disappears)




Ruby: (among several other cries of surprise) Oh, wow! Look, you can see Signal from up here! (Ruby and other students look through the glass walls at the town below) I guess home isn't too far after all!




Yang: Beacon's our home, now.






The two hear a passenger groaning and hunched over nearby, running to the back of the ship.




Yang: Well... I guess the view isn't for everyone. (rolls her eyes)




Ruby: It was a nice moment while it lasted.




Omega: Ruby. It's Motion Sickness


Omega then Sees for the corner of his eye A Blue haired boy with a sword. His eyes widen As He remembered Xero was a Blue haired Person with swords.


The ship is seen approaching Beacon across a large body of water.




Ruby (voice over): I wonder who we're gonna meet! I just hope they're better than Vomit Boy. Oh, Yang, gross! You have puke on your shoe!




Yang (voice over): Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross!




Ruby (voice over): Get-Get away! Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me!




Omega: (whispers) Was that Xero.
