Prologue/Recap

Ruby Rose was 15 and she was a huntress, during the time she was at From Dust till Dawn, Roman Torchwick and his men were robbing the place. Luckily Ruby was there, when one of the goons had stumbled upon her, they were sent flying out of the stores window. To where Ruby was outside with Crescent Rose, despite Torchwick ordering the men to attack her. All failed, Torchwick had to get his hands dirty and fight Ruby. Too which he had fled from her after shooting a blast from his cane towards her, reaching the roof top of one of the buildings. Ruby noticed a Bullhead as a mysterious figure was on piloting it, this later turned out to be Cinder Fall.

Ruby was held for questions later that night as Glynda Goodwitch stood in the room. Headmaster Ozpin walked in with a plate of cookies and milk for Ruby, he noticed her silver eyes commenting on them. Ruby would eventually enroll into Beacon the next day with her eldest sister Yang Xiao Long. Both siblings were successful in getting a team with two other girls. Blake Belladonna and Weiss Schnee. Led by Ruby Rose, to which they were known as Team RWBY.

Preparations for the Vytal Festival was being planned, as Ruby had bumped into a ginger girl, who was revealed to be Penny Polendina. A android, who was now Ruby's friend, whenever Penny had lied about something, she'd hiccup which was programmed into her if she was in a pickle between the truth and a lie. Cinder and her Faction were also planning to end things during the festival, but that was for a later time, and a much more sinister fate awaited everyone.

Team RWBY was on a mission, to where they had encountered Neopolitan and Torchwick. Raven Branwen showed up just before Neo had a chance to end Yang, this caused Neo to flee the scene all together. Grimm were soon on the chase as the train RWBY were on was going to crash outward into the open, which caused Grimm to seep out like wildfire into town. Each and every huntress and huntsmen had showed up to defeat these Grimm.

After the invasion of the Grimm in Vale, things were getting back to normal and were also finished in time for when the Vytal Festival would start. Little did Ruby and co know, Cinder was plotting something huge and this was going to be the curse of their dreams.

Finally it was time for the Festival, each academies students from across Remanent had showed up to take part in the tournament. Ruby and her team were also excited for this event too, Winter Schnee. Weiss' eldest sister had showed up later on, and she was soon stopped by Qrow Branwen. Who was Yang and Ruby's uncle.

While Winter helped Weiss. She had very little time to stay and watch the tournament happen. Qrow had stayed in Vale, not cause of his nieces being in the tournament. He was a teacher from Signal Academy, which was the original academy Ruby had went to before joining Beacon.

Things were falling into place just like Cinder wanted it too. Mercury had lost to Yang, but Emerald used her semblance to play mind games with Yang to make her think Mercury was attacking, to which caused everyone to see what had happened, Yang was disqualified from the tournament and left the festival. All that was left was some fights and a match between Penny and Pyrrha, which would be shocking and tragic for everyone even Ruby.

Penny and Pyrrha had their match, only for things to go horrible wrong. It was the perfect icing on the cake for Cinder however. The defenses of Beacon had fallen, Grimm started to make their way in. Ruby was left horrified and lost of words when she witnessed what happened to Penny, she knew it wasn't Pyrrha's fault. The more Grimm invaded, the more it became hard for the students to hold their own, a haunting past had came to Blake as Adam Taurus was among the invasion, his sights were set on Blake, for betraying the Fang and leaving them behind. Yang showed up to help Blake, only to lose and get her arm cut off in the process.

Pyrrha, and Ozpin were under ground of Beacon, the transferring of the Maiden powers to Nikos was about to begin, until Cinder had stopped it. Jaune wasn't any match for Cinder, he failed his job to stop her from getting in. Pyrrha had to leave while Ozpin dealt with Cinder. The Wyvern had woken up as it flew over head, Grimm were spawning within Vale. The plan was almost set, Cinder had killed Ozpin. She had cornered Pyrrha within the tower, to where she had met her fate at her hands. Ruby was there as she once again had witnessed a friend of hers pass, this was the trigger point as Ruby's Silver eyes had awoken, the hidden power within her had consumed everything in it's path. Including Cinder and the Grimm, this had left Ruby unconscious as everyone had fled the fall of Beacon.

Deep within a dark kingdom, where Grimm were born. A pale white woman stood out in the open this was Salem, the queen of all Grimm. "A smaller, more honest soul. It's true that a simple spark can ignite hope, breathe fire into the hearts of the weary. The ability to derive strength from hope is undoubtedly mankind's greatest attribute... which is why I will focus all of my power to snuff it out.How does it feel? Knowing that all of your time and effort has been for nothing? That your guardians have failed you? That everything you've built will be torn down before your very eyes?

Your faith in mankind was not misplaced. When banded together, unified by a common enemy, they are a noticeable threat. But divide them, place doubt into their minds, and any semblance of power they once had will wash away.

Of course, they won't realize it at first. Like you, they'll cling to their fleeting hope, their aspirations. But this is merely the first move. So you send your guardians. Your Huntsmen and Huntresses. And when they fail and you turn to your smaller soul, know that you send her to the same pitiful demise. This is the beginning of the end, Ozpin. And I can't wait to watch you burn."
