PROLOGUE

Feeling her scroll buzzing beside her Ruby was taken aback. It was 11:30 at night on a Sunday. "Who in dust is calling me this late at night?". She whispered as to not wake the rest of her team. Squinting at the caller ID she let out a little gasp as she noticed it was Professor Ozpin. She carefully climbed off of her death trap of a bed trying to make as little noise as possible. Taking a quick look around she saw that everyone was still asleep. Letting out a slight sigh she made her way to the hallway outside of their dorm room and answered her scroll.

"Good evening Professor." Ruby calmly. " Is there something that I can help you with?"

"Ms. Rose, I actually need you to come to my office as soon as possible. Make sure you're in battle gear and have your weapon with you." Ozpin stated. " And Ms. Rose, do not let any of the other members know you're leaving."

"Understood Professor. I'll be there as soon as I grab Crescent Rose." Ruby said before hanging up her scroll.

I wonder why he wants to see me, and why wouldn't he want me to bring everyone else. Maybe it's because it's late and I'm the only that answered my scroll. He probably didn't want me to wake them up. Smiling at her logical thinking she realized that she was already standing in front of Ozpin's office. Reaching her arm up to knock on the door she gave three small raps.

The response was almost instantaneous. "Come in Ms. Rose. We don't have long to discuss your mission. It is of utmost importance that you leave as soon as possible." Ozpin voiced.

Upon walking into the Headmaster's spacious office Ruby noticed he looked extremely tired. His brown eyes looked troubled almost as if he was.. sad? Shaking her head she hastily made her way before him. "Professor is something wrong?" Ruby whispered softly. Usually Professor Ozpin had a smug grin on his face but the look his face bared now was simply hard to look at without feeling a bit terrified.

Ozpin sat down and put his head in his hands for a moment before looking up at the redhead in front of him. "Ms. Rose," he began "I know that what I am about to tell you is going to be devastating but I need you to remain quite until I tell you everything I know." Looking down at his coffee he began again. "The mission that has been chosen for you is not optional. I tried everything I could to get it passed to someone else but I regret to inform you that you are in fact, our only option."

Ruby began to say something until Professor Ozpin raised his hand to stop her. "I said please wait until I am finished Ms. Rose." When she nodded he let out a small sigh before continuing. "The reason you of all people have been chosen is because of your semblance. We need your speed to infiltrate a camp outside of Vale to the north about four hours from the cities walls. They are a rather small group that has been searching for certain.. hunters and huntresses." Upon saying this he saw the young huntress in training stiffen and gave her a wary look as if to say I know what you're thinking.

Ruby was shocked after hearing what the Professor said to her. Her mind began to race and her palms began to get clammy. She shifted nervously in her seat as he continued. "They call themselves 'The Rebels of Remnant'." He stated flatly through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing the name of the group Ruby bolted to a standing position. Her eyes were burning with hate as she placed both hands on the table between them balled into fists. Her voice was a low growl as she stared at the man sitting in front of her "Professor Ozpin I need you to tell me everything you know about them, and now."
