(a few days later)
"hey mom... Long time no see huh, or long time for me, I became a god yknow, has space adventure, fraught against demons, gods and other weirdos, dead came back kicked ass and survived this world getting restarted... " I said as I sat in front of my mother's grave, it has been so long since I came to this world since fusing and forming me, my mind flushed with emotions... But one has been screaming at me pain... In my heart longing for someone I lost so long ago, someone so dear to my heart
"I've been well, I regained my emotions, they suck ass, but it's been nice, I've been happy lately ohhh I've even reconnect with Yang, reforming our relationship, and while I do believe I was at fault on how it shattered I still think she was a bit of a dick"
"but I was a bigger one so it makes sense, like having a sister like me couldn't have been easy and maybe I gave up on a relationship with her far to easily ... But I guess I missed her somewhat, memories didn't die out"
"... Also I've joined the festival, ozpin made a special request for me since I scored the highest in my class, so I am listed as a team of one meaning I can compete, I'm so exited to see so many different weapons....." she said as she smiled into the sky think about all the weapons before her mind came back
"I miss you more then I hate to admit, but I'm getting strong again so I won't.... I'm well mentally and physically and I think that's what matters right mom" I said with a smile before I stood up
"alright time to go and kick some ass, maybe train first, I think I'm still sluggish"
(Roman prison cell)
'huh wow is my life trapped between a rock and the devil how has my live gotten to this point
"I see you been treated well" a voice said as Roman fall off his bed, as he got up dusted himself off and sat down with his eyes closed calming his heart down
".... You've never going to stop doing that are you" Roman said as he opened his eyes to see a figure made of red rose with white eyes
'it's like she can be summoned by name... Wait is she the devil'
"cute but not, I ripped his arm off though"
"i can't tell if your serious or joking.... so what do I own this pleasure" he said quickly composing himself
"just came to check if you are still in line" she said as I could feel her eyes staring deep into my soul
"good seems you still on the side of living"
"couldn't you say your side, when you say it like that"
"yes I will kill you if you deviate far faster then you could say anything to Cinder"
"noted, so was that all"
"no I figured that Cinder has this great plan of taking over the Ai of these ships and setting humans as the targets"
"wait that her grand plan... Ohh right that's true so what do you have planned for me my ever skimming master" I said as I got a look
"don't look at me like that"
"personally I don't like how the current system operates, so you and my little M will be play a critical part" she said as her rose moved to me as a drive landed
"something to help you in my plans, but also I came to show you your reward if you complete this job" she said as a scroll moved forward and a video of Neo appeared as she moved around a large base then to a chests with so so much lien
"I've had Neo check out your base fit to your standards and the agree upon lien-" she said as I stopped listening, this was a dream the meaning enough money to run away from the devil type of money
"seems like we are in an agreement, but" she said as I felt a chill run through my body
"I do not accept failure, because if you are to fail Roman I will torture, not kill torture, I will make your existence an ever loving nightmare, every second of every say will be filled with nothing but pain " she said this in a sweat little girl tone, but I felt my heart stop
" understood"
"understood" he stood up and shouted as Ruby slowly disappeared
"... Well looks like we're not sleeping for a while, god I think I almost pissed myself"
(Ozpin office)
"you worry to much Goodwitch" Ozpin said as he took a sip of his coffee
"be that as it may seem we can not let a single student without a team compete" she said as she stood in front of his table
"ohh"
"it would be a blatant show of favoritism that will not go unseen" she said as he took a long sip
"we all know that miss rose is one of you favorite students" she said
"is" cutting her off as she blinked
"excuse me"
"she is my favorite student, and while you concerns are heard... I frankly do not care"
"sir"
"my mistake was allowing myself to be influenced by the chatter of weak men and because of that, we've been producing substandard hunter" he spoke calmly as if he had already agreed to this discussion and was not willing to change it or more so that nothing could change it so he just explained
"sir"
"the quality of our students has lassened much since I allow the council to have a say and on the other matter, while I do understand you claims miss rose has more then earned the right to compete of she so wishes" he said as she sighed knowing that he was right in the sense that multiple hunters don't survive the first year and it was usually the kids who came from common homes
While it wasn't that great of a number, it's been at an increase, of the number of hunters going missing from a 1 to a 100 in a year
"huh... Then I ask we ban her use of her weapons" she said as he raised his eyebrow before moving his head
".... Qrow.... " ozpin said Qrow who was laid out in a sofa
"did I burn that thing"
"you did but he brought another one.... Qrow" ozpin said calling the man
"huh what"
"what do you think" he asked him as he yawned
"yeah sure, tell the kid she can't use her weapons and she'll take that as a challenge... But on serious meeting"
"they can wait, we have a tournament to prepare for and you have your own job Qrow"
"right, got another monster for me"
"no, but Winter will be coming, so I ask you be on your best behavior" he said
".... What's that supposed to mean"
"... Please tell miss Rose to get herself a new weapon that won't cause the lose of limbs in 1 hit, please" he said as he sipped on his coffee
(forest)
Bang
The sound echoed through the forest, followed by a roar before a stream of rose jetted into the sky, before it formed into Ruby who had her scythe out with the shattered moon behind her
"huu" she took a breath before shorting straight down to the earth, as she slammed down she shattered into millions of rose petals as the impact caused a shock wave killing multiple beowolves and launched the death stalker back as it stumbled, regaining it's balance before a saw slice through its body, as it ripped through it before Ruby reformed behind the grim as she caught he scythe mid spin before she spun it around using the momentum of the scythe and launching herself at the bears as she sliced through them taking there head
Before she ducked under a claw, as she moved he scythe placing the barrel on it chine before she fire, taking a wolves head off before she kicked the body away
"so this is where you've been" I heard before I looked up to see uncle Qrow
"hey uncle Qrow" I shouted before I flipped and landed on the head of a snakes head
"what are you doing here" I hooked my scythe under it's neck before pulling the trigger taking its head
"I was actually looking for you" he said before jumping down the tree as he nodded
"your form is better but.... Something missing ... What happened in the dungeon honestly"
".... It's that obvious"
"no your stronger than when you got into the school, that I can say, but that's only in experience, you move like your new to you body, you misstep from time to time and you seem to get angry and frustrated far more"
".... A sacrifice" she said softly before she moved as she grabbed a Grimm bh it's skull and shot it
"what"
"I secrifice my strength for emotions"
".... Really"
"what"
"no it's just for such a smart kid, power hunger... But I never thought you'd actually make a decision like that" he said as he smiled a bit before Ruby throw her scythe into the air
"yeah while being the perfect killing machine is all fun and stuff... It's not good... But honestly uncle Qrow I think I dead" Ruby said as she skipped forward dodging a stinger as a death stalker roared smashing through the forest before it could get to Ruby the scythe came down slicing in between the plates
"hmm" he said before ruby took her scythe and folded it
"that creature I fought it was strong far stronger than anything I've ever seen and I'm sure it killed me, I dead came back and I guess that's why I'm off" she said as
"....."
"but I better now"
"huh" he took a breath before he walked over and placed a hand on my head
"you know you have an annoying way of just dropping things"
"you asked" ruby simple answer as he sighed
"I did" he said as he looked out before Ruby jumped in front of him
"so what up"
"switch weapons"
"... Huh"
"you scythe and guns are far to dangerous"
".... Huh... What the real reason"
"I want you to have fun and explore your opinions"
"gasp" I said as I grabbed crescent rose
"don't say such filth so close to my baby"
"but really maybe a sword or something, also it will get Glynda off your ass for a bit" he said as he drank a bit
"you mean 'your'" I pointed at him
"back"
"ahhhh just do me this favor, she's been nagging me for the past 3 hours" he said as I heard his scroll ring before he took it out and crushed it before throwing it away
"... I could have blocked her number you know"
".... I'll buy a new one also get a new weapon" he transformed into a crow before taking off
"...." as Ruby looked at her weapons
"what do you think should I.... I mean it could be fun... Good point, but why stop at one" I said with a nodded but before I could take off I slowed and throught
"why stop there, when there is so much to do, so much technology tool and resources" Ruby said as her smile widened into a demonic one
"hehehehehe"
(bar somewhere)
Shiver
"you okay man"
"... Yeah.... Why does it feel like I just gave I just unleashed something bad... Or good, I'm so so confused"
"looks like you need a drink" the bar man said pouring a shot as Qrow reached out and grabbed the bottle and downed the whole thing before he placed a card on the table
"I've got 24 hours to get wasted before I get back to work, don't stop"
