The Rose and The Fox
The scene opens up on a gloomy nightfall as we see as girl with Grey hair and Fox ears walk past a tall man with orange hair and a bowler hat and many men in suits as the men head for a dust store known as 'From Dust Till Dawn'The girl looks back at the man for a few seconds before putting up her hood a walking awayThe camera pans over to the shop as the man enters with his goons before the camera pans again to a girl in a red hood reading a comic on weaponsThe camera pans back to the man and his goons as they look over all the dust the shop has, just waiting for them to take itThe man walks up to the old and frail shopkeeper as he flicks his cigar before speaking impatiently to the shopkeeper "Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Dust shop open this late?"One of the goons shoves a gun at the shopkeeper as the shopkeeper starts begging for his life "P-please! Just take my Lien and leave!""Sh sh sh sh shh, calm down we're not here for your money" The man speaks reassuringly "Grab the dust" He speaks coldly to his goonsThe goons start taking dust from tubes, some take fire dust and wind dust, but the camera doesn't show the others as it pans over to the counter again"Crystals. Burn. Uncut." A goon says to the shopkeeper calmly yet forcefullyThe camera pans over to another goon who walks up to a tube, about to grab some lightning dust before he hears music and turns to see a girl in a red hood in the comics section of the store"Alright kid, put your hands where I can see 'em" The goon threatens the girl while pulling out a red sabre? (maybe?)The girl ignores the goon making his face grow annoyed "Hey, I said hands in the air!" He declares in annoyance at the girl as he starts walking towards her"You got a death wish or something!?" He raises his voice as he grabs her shoulder, knocked her hood off as she turns around, revealing that she's wearing headphonesThe girl is a fair-skinned young girl with silver eyes and neck-length black hair with red tips"Huh?" The girl questions while looking at him in confusion as he points to his ear with a slightly angry faceShe takes off her headphones as she speaks kindly "yes?""I said, put your hands in the air, now!" He states coldly with a hint of anger, while leaning a bit to look down at her"Are you, robbing me?" The girl questions"Yes!" The goon shouts quietly at her"Ohh" She nods in understanding before kicking him hard in the stomach sending him across the store, landing against the entrance and passing the orange haired bossThe boss looks slightly towards where the man was thrown as a goon walks towards him before the man slightly nods his head towards the girl to tell the goon to go get her"Freeze!" The goon shouts at her before pointing his gun at her, seconds later the window is seem shattering as the goon as thrown out with the girl following close behind, and before anything else is seen the camera pans to the Grey Haired girl again as her ears stand up in alert as she looks towards a directionThe camera pans back to the fight as the goons are seen looking out the window of 'From Dust Till Dawn' as it shows outside the window as a compact case slowly expands into a scythe in the red hooded girl's handsThe camera pans to the man as his eyebrows furrow, as the camera pans back to the girl who's still doing her best to do a cool hero pose as she then looks up at the man and his goons and smirks before she starts spinning her scythe around before it goes into the floor while pointed at them before her headphone music is cut offThe camera pans up to the top of a building near-by as we see the grey haired girl watching this go down with a cold expression as it then pans to the orange haired crime boss"Okayy??" The man says in slight confusion as he tilts his head slightly"Get her!" He orders his goons roughly as they all start to run at herOne goon runs straight for her as she jumps up and spins to gather momentum before slamming him in the face with her heels as he's thrown away directly into the fingers of the grey haired girl as she slams him into the ground with two fingers in the goon's eye socket"Another one?" The crime boss shakes his head in confusion as he shoos his goons to deal with her as wellThe red hooded girl lands gracefully with her scythe held behind her back as the camera then pans to the grey haired girl who throws a goon over her shoulder into the blade of another goon before kicking that goon in the face, knocking him unconciousThe camera pans back to the red hooded girl as she presses a button on her scythe as a recoil allows her to transition into a spin as she deathly injures two goons by cutting them across their waists before crushing another goon to death with one end of her scythe as the camera then pans over to the grey haired girl againThe grey haired girl grabs a goon by the skull before throwing him at his buddy who's shooting at her, and when the goon gets the body of his recently killed friend off of him, the girl appears in front of him and body slams him into the groundAs goons get their footing and start shooting at her, a weird redish-grey liquid keeps blocking their bullets from hitting her as a portion of the liquid transforms into a whip as she then slashes the whip at one of the goons, breaking his skin instantly as it digs far into his skull before he falls over deadShe then looks at the other goons coldly, as the whip disappears and tendrils appear around the goons around her and one goon is slapped so hard by a tendril that his head does a 360 before he falls to the floor, with others looking not much better.The camera pans back to the red-hooded girl as she speeds around using her bullets to up her momentum as petals seem to surround her movement as she slides into the goon's legs full force sending him flyingShe then uses her scythe to stop her momentum as she spins around before hitting the falling goon's body like a baseball slamming him into the ground at the crime bosses feet as both the red-hooded girl and the grey haired girl now stand in front of the crime boss"You were worth every cent, truly you were" He states in disappointment as he looks at the fallen goon before taking his cigar out of his mouth "Well Red, Foxy, I think we can all say its been an eventful evening" He says calmly as he taps his cane down"And as much as i'd love to stick around" He states before pointing the bottom of his cane at them "I'm afraid, This, " A sight opens up on his cane as the grey haired girl makes an almost unnoticable movement "Is where we part ways"As a firework shoots as the girls, before it hits them, it hits something else as it detonates, sending the red-hooded girl back a bit and sending the grey haired girl tumbling across the street as an armor forms across her body before she stands up once moreBut when they both look around, the red-hooded girl doesn't see the crime boss as the grey haired girl taps her on the shoulder and points to the crime boss climbing the ladder of a building nearbyThe old shopkeeper stumbles slightly out of his shop as the red-hooded girl speaks to him "You okay if we go after him" the grey haired girl blinks before looking at the red-hooded girl strangely before shrugging"Uh huh" The Old shopkeeper lets out hoarselyThe two girls race towards the crime boss, as the red-hooded girl uses the recoil of her gun-scythe to jump up while a second later the grey haired girl appears seemingly having jumped up"Hey!" The red-hooded girl shouts at the man as his jogging slows to a halt"Persistent" The man says coldly as the two girls get into fighting stances as a ship flies up from out of nowhere as it's light shines upon them, and the wind from the spinning of the engines blows their hair, finally showing the grey haired girl's eyes which seem to be silverThe orange haired crime boss climbs into the ship "End of the line you two!" He shouts in victory as he tosses a fire dust crystal at them, with it landing at the two girls' feet, as the red-hooded girl backs off slightly, the grey haired girl, already covered in armor kneels down as a shield forms in her hands, pointing in the direction of the dust crystalAs he crime boss shoots at the dust crystal, suddenly a lady drops from the sky before the explosion goes off"Wa hoho ho!" The crime boss laughs in delight before he looks back at the place where they once were "huh?" as the camera pans to show that a sigil is in front of the girls along with a ladyThe lady has light blond hair in a bun, she's middle-aged and is quite tall, especially compared to the girls, even compared to the taller one, she still is heads tallerAs the sigil disappears the grey haired girl stands up as the armor and shield dissipate, and the red-hooded girl looks up at the lady who just saved... well.. not their lives, just hers"hm" The lady hums coldly while pointing a wand towards the shipThe scene moves from the lady to the red-hooded girl as her eyes widen as she smiles, as it then pans over to the grey haired girl as she's looking at the red-hooded girl in confusion on why she's smiling before it pans back to the ladyThe lady fixes her glasses before she waves her wand and sends a dozen beams of purple light at the shipAs they all hit the ship, the camera pans to the inside as it shows the effects of the turbulence, as the crime boss struggles to stand still as he walks to the cockpit and yells to two ladies, one in red who's piloting the ship, and one who's in purple co-piloting "We got a huntress!"The ladies calmly walk out of the cockpit as the crime boss takes control of the shipIt pans back outside as it shows the ship get back into control as it starts getting ready to fly away as the blonde lady glows purple before waving her wand and shooting out a short beam that flew over the ship and created a lightning stormThe lady waves her wand as the lightning storm starts to hail upon the ship, almost hitting the crime bossThe scene pans to show a pair of glass heels walking across the screen as shortly after a pair of boots followsAs the two look down upon the attacking party, the blonde lady glares at the two as suddenly the lady in red's arms seem to crack into molten rock as she fires a fire blast at the blonde ladyWhile this is happening the camera pans to the lady in purple who's shaded in a weird black color as she waves her hand as suddenly the hail that was falling upon the ship is falling upon the blonde lady and the two girls, as the grey haired girl makes a giant sheet above them, protecting them from the hailA giant formation appears under the blonde lady as it then shoots up a giant beam of fire at her, as she jumps out of the way and lands in a fighting stanceThe blonde lady transforms the remnants of the explosion purpleish as they form together into a giant stake before they fire at the ship but the red clothed lady shoots beams at it, but not enough as the stake reforms in a different place and slams into the ship's roofThe blonde lady waves her wand again as the previous stake transforms into three serpentine beams as they circle the shipThe camera pans back to the ladies as the purple clothed lady just watches as the red clothed lady forms a bunch of patterns around her before they explode out, shattering the transformed entities into embersThe ship plans to fly away as the camera pans to the red-hooded girl as she starts firing bullets as the ship, trying to shoot it out of the sky most likelyThe red clothed lady however easily blocks the bullets with her hand, before multiple formations appear around the three as the camera pans to the grey haired girl as the armor from before appears again as she squints at the ship, with her pupil's scouring for somethingThe red-hooded girl and the blonde lady dodge the explosions, yet the grey haired girl in full armor is sent high into the sky, as she suddenly throws out her arm as the redish-grey liquid surges at a high velocity towards a very specific place of the left engine of the shipAfter the liquid pierces the area, suddenly the left engine explodes in raging flames and the right engine seems to malfunction, as the ship starts falling out of the sky, as the grey haired girl lands a few seconds later and when she lands, she places her hands to the roof of the building as a giant sheet appears under the falling shipYet before the ship can land, suddenly it's covered in a weird black color before it disappears, as the 3 look on in confusion, the redish-grey liquid returned to her and formed a belt around her waist"You're a huntress!" The red-hooded girl states slightly excitedly to the blonde ladyThe blonde lady turns to the girl with a cold gaze"Can I have your autograph!!" The red-hooded girl squeels excitedly before the scene changes to show her very disappointed in a black room with a light shone above her, with the grey haired girl sitting next to her"I hope you realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly young ladies" The blonde lady scolds the girls as the red-hooded girl looks down in guilt, as the grey haired girl is still looking fowards, with no emotion in her eyes, taking the scolding like it was a passing comment"You two put yourselves and others in great danger" The blonde lady, scolds yet in a much more soft tone then before"They started it!" The red-hooded girl yells to the blonde lady"a- and, they're well known criminals... Roman Torchwick, and the goons of Junior Xiong.." The grey haired girl says softly, even below a whisper"If it were up to me, you'd be sent home, with a pat on the back" The red-hooded girl's eyes light up as she smiles "and a slap on the wrist" the blonde lady sternly states with a glareBefore slapping at the red-hooded girl's hand, spooking her "Ah!!" as she jumps backThe grey haired girl looks at the blonde lady, before the redish-grey liquid forms a ruler in her hands before she slams it down full force into her wrist, making a loud slapping noise"Done.. can I go now, I have to be out of Vale in 9 days..." She speaks in a below whisper level volume once more"But, theres someone here who would like to meet you two" She speaks calmly, before giving the grey haired girl a slight look of admiration before the camera pans to the red-hooded girl as she gives a slight look of confusion with her mouth openThen a man walks in, he seems to be middle-aged, with silver hair and a light complexion, he's holding two mugs of something, and a plate of cookies"Ruby Rose, Grey Gray" The man says as he looks at the two, before looking deeply at them"You... have silver eyes" The man states a fact calmly"Uh, um" The Ruby stutters in confusion, while the Grey's eyes, widen as then they suddenly look downcast"So! Where did you learn to do this" The man states as the blonde lady is holding two tablets, one showing the Ruby's fight, and the other showing the Grey's fight"S- Signal Academy" Ruby stutters out"Travel" Grey states calmly, yet still so softly that it's almost impossible to hear"They taught you to use on of the most dangerous weapons ever designed!?" The Man questions "And how did travel teach you to fight on such a high level""Well, one teacher in particular" Ruby says quickly"I've been, almost everywhere there is to go" Grey speaks it like it's a fact, and in fact it is"I see.." The man says as he places the cookies in front of Ruby, and a mug of coffee in front of GreyRuby instantly starts gobbling up the cookies, as Grey looks at the man until he gives her a nod of approval, then she starts taking slow sips of the coffee "10 shots of expresso?" Grey questions almost instantly"Yes, from what I know, that's what you'd like the most" The man utters calmly"Interesting" Grey says, wondering about how exactly he got all this information"It's just that I've only seen one other scythe wielder of that skill before, a Dusty Old Crow" The man questions Ruby with a pondering (maybe?) look as she's eating the cookies given to her"ohh, dats mah uncle" Ruby mumbles out through her stuffed face "*cough* eh, sorry" she says as she wipes her mouth "That's my uncle Qrow, he's a teacher at Signal" She speaks proudly with a smile"I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing, and now I'm all like haaa" As she starts doing karate moves "watchaa, haww" She accidentally chops Grey's fox ear as suddenly Grey's face is heavily dusted in blush"Ah, I'm sorry!!" Ruby apologizes in a rush"I- i- i- it's f- fine... my ears are just really sensitive" Grey says softly like Ruby just hurt her as she places her expresso down and curls up into herself (still quieter than a whisper, but after this little bit, they're used to it enough to hear fine)"So i've noticed" The man states in recognition with a small smile before placing his coffee down, ignoring the faunus who looks like she was just assaulted"And what are adorable girls such as yourselves doing fighting crime" The man questions the two of them"Well.. I want to be a huntress" Ruby announces with confidence".. Why not?" Grey questions the man"You want to slay monsters?" The man states questioningly to Ruby "Why not indeed young Grey" He ponders with a slight smile"Yeah, I only have two more years of training left at signal, and then I'm going to apply to Beacon, see my sisters starting there this year and shes starting to become a huntress and I'm trying to become a huntress because I- I want to help people and my parents always taught us to help others, so I thought oh I might as well make a career out of it, hehe" Ruby speaks with a smile all in one breath"I mean, the police are alright, but huntsmen and huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting, cool just.. GAH! y'know?" Ruby almost shouts in excitement as Grey is seen looking at her in slight concernThe camera pans to the blonde lady, as her brows slightly furrow as she looks at the two with slight worry (maybe?), the camera then shifts to the man as hes looking at them, no real expression though"Do you know who I am?" The man asks the two with a slight smileThe camera then pans to the two as Grey nods before Ruby answers "You're Professor Ozpin, you're the headmaster at Beacon""hn" Ozpin quickly hums out as the camera pans to him "Hello""Nice to meet you" Ruby says with a smile"You two want to come to my school?" Ozpin asks them calmly"More than anything" Ruby speaks with heavy amounts of emotion, as Grey looks at him in confusionThe camera pans to Ozpin as he looks at the lady as she "mhm" 's before turning her head away"Well okay" Ozpin expresses with a smile as the camera pans to the two girls as Ruby's eyes widen as a smile grows on her face, while confusion continues to grow on Grey's face-"Oh I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me!" A blonde girl in leather shouts in excitement "This is the best ever!" as she hugs Ruby tightly"Pleash, stoop" Ruby muffles out from her state of being crushed"But I'm so proud of youuu!" The blonde girl, still shouting in excitement, it seems to be attracting a big of attention now"Really, sis, it was nothing" Ruby speaks humbly to the girl"What do you mean!" She announces with putting up her hands "It was incredible! Everyone at Beacons' gonna think you're the bee's knees!" She shouts loudly while throwing her hands down before pointing at the rest of the people in the bullhead"I- I don't wanna be the bee's knees, okay? I don't wanna be any kind of knees, I just wanna be a normal girl with normal knees" Ruby speaks quickly and loudly before looking down at her boots"What's with you? Aren't you excited?!" The blonde girl questions loudly with a smile"Of course I'm excited I just.. I got moved ahead two years, I don't want people to think I'm special or anything" Ruby speaks downtroddenlyThe blonde girl walks next to Ruby as she gives her a side hug "But you are special!" The girl says dotingly to RubyThe camera then pans to Grey as she's laying on the floor of the bullhead, and a black haired girl walks up to her "Mind if I lay here? You kinda have prime space for naps" the girl says in a casual tone".." Grey looks at the girl before nodding slightly before going back to staring at the ceiling"... So.. I'm Thalia, but I prefer to be called Iri" The black haired girl, known as Thalia breaks the silence as she lays down next to Grey"mm" Grey hums in acknowledgement"... Sooo.. what's your name?" Iri asks to get out of the unbearable silence that seems to radiate from Grey"Grey" Grey says without even looking at Iri"uh... soo.. Grey.. so you look pretty young? what's your story?" Iri asks Grey while turning her head towards the fox faunusGrey looks back at the wolf faunus with a raised brow"Yeah, yeah you're right... I should say my story first before asking for yours" Iri admits "So I'm Iri, I'm an orphan, I went to Pharos Academy before this, I'm seventeen""Grey, Orphan, World Wide Travel, Fifteen" Grey speaks concisely"So you are very young? how'd you get in" Iri questions while trying to get into a better resting position"Was about to leave Vale, heard a crime boss know as Roman Torchwick stealing from a store, decided to help the fifteen year old girl who decided to stop the robbery, met Professor Ozpin who offered both of us to go to Beacon, and for some reason that same girl accepted for both of us, not even giving me a say" Grey summarizes"Jeez, they didn't even consider your opinion? Why are you here then" Iri questions why the girl decided to go to beacon even though someone else accepted the invitation for her"Well... I hope to find a place I can stay in life.. so I don't have to travel all the time, so I'm hoping that Beacon will be that place" Grey says to Iri after contemplating"Huh" Iri lets out before going back to laying down in silence as the camera pans back to Ruby and the Blonde girl as a news station is playing something"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 male voice informs before switching back to Lisa"Thank you Siro, in other news this Saturday's faunus civil rights protest turned dark, when members of the White Fang distupted the ceremony, the once peaceful organization has now disrupted-" Lisa announces informingly before being cut off as a hologram of the blonde lady appears"Hello and welcome to Beacon" The blonde lady says as both Grey and Iri stand up"Who's that?" The blonde girl asks Ruby like she'd know the answer"My name is Glynda Goodwitch" Glynda announces calmly"Oh!" The blonde girl lets out in realization"You are among a privileged few who have recieved the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy, our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future huntsman and huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it" Glynda announces"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" Glynda finishes as the hologram disappears"ohh, woww" Ruby whisper shouts as she walks to the window, and she looks out a the view with a giant smile as the camera pans to show a punch of people also going to the windows, with Grey and Iri laying back down"Look! You can see Signal from up here!" Ruby tells the blonde girl in slight excitement as the blonde girl also walks to the window as the camera pans out, showing the bullhead and the city below"I guess home isn't far after all" Ruby says as her blonde sister puts her arm over Ruby's shoulder"Beacons our home now" She tells Ruby with a smile"ughh, ulp" A blonde guy is seen gagging as he starts walking past the two sisters"Well, I guess the view isn't for everyone" The blonde girl says with a smile as she looks back out the window"It was a nice moment while it lasted" Ruby admits to her sister with a small smile"I wonder who we're gonna meet" The blonde sister wonders aloud to her Ruby as he camera shows the front of the bullhead as we see Beacon"Uhh, I just hope they're better than vomit boy" Ruby tells her sister in slight worry "Oh! Yang Gross! You've got puke on your shoe!!" Ruby shouts in disgust"gross gross gross gross gross" Yang screams quietly and quickly"Ew get away, oh get away! get away from me, get away from me! get away from me!!" Ruby yells frantically-4484 words... so please comment your thoughts about this chapter, I'm open to criticism-
