Auburn RWBY (RWBY x Male OC, Ruby x Male Reader)[On Hold]

Meeting the Rose

Hello everyone. We shall begin the first part of this series with Volume 1's introduction. Hope you enjoy!
————————————————————————

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. 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.

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".

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.

But even the most brilliant lights eventually flicker and die.

And when they are gone... darkness will return.

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.

But perhaps victory is in the simpler things that you've long forgotten. Things that require smaller, more honest souls.

*1st Person POV*

Vale. The city where Beacon Academy is located. The school that I hope to attend after spending my first year over at Signal Academy. It was fun, but not as fun as traveling around the world with Uncle K. He was cool and I was able to get stronger in just five years. Too bad I can't see him anymore, not after he left to go on a mission, I presume.

I walked around until I saw a shop appropriately named 'From Dust Till Dawn'. I was minding my own business until I saw a red blur crash through the window and land a few meters in front of me. It turned out to be a girl in a red hood. When she stood up, her weapon transformed into a giant scythe. She spun it around until the blade planted down into the ground, pointed ahead of her.

In front of us were four henchmen in black with the boss wearing a white coat, a bowler hat, and a cane.

Bossman: "Okayyy... Get her!" He said pointing at her. I ran towards her and stopped to her left.

Azure: "Hey! Let me help you out, Red!"

She nods at me and we stood together against the men in black. I unsheathe my sword from my scabbard on my right shoulder and Red was amazed by it.

Red: "Oh that's a cool sword! Did you make it yourself!? What can it do!?"

Azure: "Thanks! I'll tell you later. Right now, we got baddies to take down."

They start firing at us, but we used our semblances to dodge their bullets. Two goons charged at me with their own swords, but I knocked their weapons away using my sword. I then shocked them unconscious with my left hand crackling with blue electricity. I looked to see Red had knocked the last goon towards the hat guy.

Bossman: "You were worth every cent. Truly, you were. Well, Red and Blue, I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around... I'm afraid this is where we part ways."

He points his cane at us with a scope and blasts an explosive at us. Red used her scythe to fly up and I ran to my left using my Lightning to dodge it. We looked around for him and I saw him climbing a ladder to a rooftop. I tap Red's shoulder and point up. The shopkeeper stepped outside.
