Chapter 1: The Rose meets The Dragon

Faster. Faster. The girl in red ran desperately up the destroyed tower. Her thoughts running through all that had happened to lead up to this. Beacon Academy was holding the Vytal Festival, the tournament it had brought schools from all the nations of Remnant to show the skills of their students. It was supposed to be fun and exciting, but it was destroyed in the worst of ways.

Her big sister framed for injustice she realized she didn't commit, and then there was the death of her friend. Penny... She steeled herself running faster to forget the memory, the sight of seeing her friend in pieces like that again made her want to cry. The thought of that brought her back to where she was now, running up the tower to rescue another friend from certain death. I won't let it happen again!

She ran with her semblance at full power, rose petals flying behind her caped hood just as she reached the top. The girl landed at the top of the broken tower, her eyes transfixed at the figures before her, the large Grimm Dragon was watching from the other side of the tower. She saw a girl in a red dress, eyes a glowing gold holding a black bow and arrow before firing at her target. Her eyes widened in shock as the arrow pierced at the person she was supposed to protect. The red headed huntress in training in golden armor was on her knees, the black arrow piercing her chest without the help of her Aura shielding her.

Pyrrha…? The hooded girl watched as the murderer of her friend stepped toward her, her hand touching her victims face when suddenly she flashed in a golden light. Soon Pyrrha's body began to turn to ash. blown away by the wind with only her bronze headpiece left on the ground. Not again… No… No… She lost another friend, another friend died right in front of her eyes. It tore her apart, it angered her seeing that murderer standing where her friend had died. She couldn't take it anymore, "PYRRHA!"

She creamed into the air, her silver eyes exploding with a flash of bright light that enveloped the tower. The dragon was soon enveloped in that very light, "What!?" The murderer was taken back by the sudden power and soon found even herself enveloped in the light. It shined bright all across Beacon but soon disappeared as fast as it came. "Ruby!?" A man with a short red cape jumped to the top of the tower with a large scythe in hand, he knew of that power and knew exactly where it came from. But something was wrong, the large Grimm before him was completely paralyzed, unable to move as if frozen in ice, the red dressed girl had disappeared… and so had the hooded girl he was looking for. "Ruby? Ruby!" He called out to her but to no avail, "Ruby… where are you?"

His life turned around in such a way, but Po couldn't have been happier with that he had. Here he was a son of a noodle chef now turned into the legendary Dragon Warrior, a panda with knowledge of everything kung fu related but with little to no kung fu skill of his own now fighting full of… in his own words… kung fu awesomeness!

He experienced more things than he thought he ever would, learning his goose father wasn't really his paternal father. To learn that his true family was gone because of the wrath of a white peacock. But he also learned about himself, he felt peace from it and accepted it. And in time he also learned that his father was alive, which in turn made him a master of Chi.

"Po! Stop staring into the clouds we have orders to fix!" Mr. Ping called out to his son upstairs, the large panda was gazing out of his old bedroom window.

"Alright dad, I'll be down in a sec!" Po called out turning towards his stairs when a sudden flash of light shined out of his window. He took a double take to see that the entire valley was enveloped in a white light. His eyes focused as a flash of light shot down from the larger one outside the Valley of Peace. "Whoa! What is that?" Po quickly ran and soon tumbled down the small flight of stairs crashing into the little kitchen full of pots and pans to see the his goose father still cooking in the midst of that disappearing light. "Dad, did you see that?"

"Yes son a flash of light, but that's pretty usual with you and valley nowadays." Mr. Ping smiled handing him three plates for each of the panda's large arms, "Now hurry, this order is for a large group at table six." He pushed his son outside to give the bowl of noodles.

"But dad, something came out of that light! I gotta check it out!" Po groaned, he gave the order to the table of little bunnies when his friends passed by the restaurant. Tigress, Monkey, Crane, Viper and Mantis, the Furious Five rushing out towards the valley. "Hey guys! Did you see that light too?" He called out to them.

"Po hurry up, we have to see what came down!" Tigress called back before running towards the outskirts of town.

"Sorry dad, I gotta get going!" He was sad to leave his dad when he needed him, but Po was always excited to get into some action as always. He dashed as fast as he could catching up to the five as they made it out of the valley and into the forest. "So what do you guys think that was? Some kind of ancient weapon of power? Another spirit warrior like Kai maybe?" In his excitement, Po and the five suddenly stopped when a row of bamboo trees fell at the exact same time. This only made the Dragon Warrior that more excited. "Please be a weapon of power!"

"It's a weapon Po!" Crane answered from the sky's getting a much better view than the others. "But you're not gonna believe the warrior it's with."

Even more excitement welled up in the large panda's body. He rushed with the rest of the five as they finally laid eyes on what came from the flash of light. A large red scythe they've never seen before, and holding that weapon was a creature on its knees they also never seen before. It had black with streaks of red fur at the top of their head, but the rest of their body was covered in a black and red outfit that seemed out of place in China. "What is it?" Po curiously asked.

"She. It's a girl Po." Tigress bluntly told.

"And how would you know?" He looked back to see the feline and reptile warriors staring blatantly at him. "Oh, y-yeah I guess you would know." Po quickly looked back to the girl when she suddenly fell to her side. "Hey, is she ok?"

"Looks like she's unconscious. She's still breathing." Mantis told standing above the girl's arm.

"Let's take her back to the palace. Po you carry her, I'll take her weapon." Tigress made for the scythe, carefully taking it from her unconscious hands while Po stood there beside her. "Po. The girl?"

"R-Right yeah, I'll get her… just… in a…" Po continued staring at the strange new weapon in front of him.

Tigress sighed, "Fine, I'll take her." She gave the red scythe to the panda's big paws and slowly picked up the hooded girl. "Let's hurry before someone notices her."

Ruby felt the aches in her body, the bruises she had from her fight with Neo and Torchwick finally getting to her. She wanted to sleep home in bed and forget about it all, but the thought soon reminded her of the death she just saw. "Pyrrha!" Her eyes shot open calling out to her friend, she tensed upon realizing that the room wasn't familiar to her. It was a small room with a rather oriental look to it. Paper doors, scrolls with a language she didn't understand. "Where am I?" She asked herself.

"So you're awake." A voice called out from the door but there was no shadow to see. When the door slid open, Ruby's eyes widened to see what looked like an animal standing on two feet. It was a small creature with red and white fur, big ears and wore a red robe with a green colored sash. They stared for what seemed like forever when it spoke in the same male voice she heard before. "Hello."

"Ah! You talk!?" Ruby yelped jumping to her feet.

"Yes I can talk, and so can you it seems." He smiled at the girl trying to ease her fears, "My name is Shifu. I mean you no harm miss."

"Um… okay?" Ruby felt her legs give out as she fell to her knees in the bed she was in. "Are you like… some sort of Faunus?"

"Faunus? I never heard of such a creature. I myself am a red panda." Shifu told. "And you are a creature I've also never seen before."

"Um…" How could Ruby explain this right now? Was she dreaming this? Could all of this be a dream?

"Perhaps it would be best if I asked more about yourself." Shifu spoke to her calmly, "May I ask for your name?"

Ruby sighed nervously, she finally spoke. "It's Ruby. My name is Ruby Rose."

"Ruby Rose, an interesting name." Shifu slowly made his way closer. "Could you tell me the last thing you remember?"

Ruby tried to focus her thoughts on what happened. "I remember running up the tower. I got to the top and… Pyrrha!" Maybe if this was a dream, then her friend might still be alive. "Did you see a girl older than me? She had gold armor and red hair and…"

"I'm sorry Ruby, there was no other signs of life when my students found you." Shifu told.

Ruby felt the tears welling up in her eyes. "I got to the top… I saw Pyrrha… and Cinder!" She clenched the blanket she was under in anger. "Everything went white. My head was hurting and I was so angry I swung hoping to hit something. And then I…"

"You passed out." He said, now close enough to give her leg an assuring pat. "I can tell from listening to your story… you have went through a lot. And saw things one of your age shouldn't have."

"I…" Ruby felt a loss for words. Unable to say anything before wiping away the tears. "I need to get home… I have to get back to my friends."

"What you need now is rest." He told her sternly. "Until your condition is better I can't allow you to do anything strenuous."

Ruby sighed rubbing her sore arms, knowing Shifu was right she gave in. "You're right, thank you again for taking me in… Shifu was it?"

"Yes, but it was actually my students who found you." Shifu explained.

"You're a teacher?" Ruby looked surprised but even more so when she found her beloved weapon wasn't by her side. "Hey, where's my Crescent Rose?"

"Po, I'm really not sure you should be holding that." Monkey along with the rest of the five stood in the hall of heroes. Po in question was fiddling around with the mysterious scythe they found with Ruby.

"Aw come on, don't you wanna know what this thing does though?" Po asked.

"It's a scythe, Po. It's used for farming and nothing more." Tigress bluntly told.

"But that girl wasn't farming with it! That means she has to use it to fight!" The dragon warrior felt around the shaft of the weapon when his stubby finger pressed on a button. The scythe's blade caught him by surprise as it folded right above his head cutting a bit of fur off. "Whoa!" He threw it into the air in shock as it shrunk more until the scythe was completely gone. Po quickly caught the new red object which was now a strange square like device. "Whoa… what is it?"

"Po, I think you should stop playing with that. You might hurt yourself." Viper warned.

"Oh hey, I think I got it to work!" Po found another button which he pressed to pull out a long handle that held another strange button under it. "I wonder what this button will do?"

"Po wait!" Tigress was too late for Po pressed on the button and soon found himself flying as the end of the weapon fired with great force and speed that the five couldn't see until they saw the urn of whispering warriors exploding into a million pieces.

"Aww man, not again!" Po whined getting to his feet.

"Po, again!?" The new voice came from Shifu entering the room with Ruby at his side. "That's the third time now!"

"Hey, gimme back my Crescent Rose!" Ruby dashed past the panda with her semblance grabbing her weapon in a flurry of roses.

"Whoa! How'd you do that?" Po asked full of excitement. "What kind of weapon is that too, it's so cool! What shot out from it, invisible arrows?"

Ruby smiled at his curiosity. "Crescent Rose is my personal weapon. While being a scythe it's also a high velocity sniper rifle." She reloaded her weapon after gaining a what from everyone else. "It's also a gun…"

"Awesome!" Po's eyes beamed at her with pure excitement. "What's a gun?"

"You guys don't make your weapons like this?" Ruby asked.

"Wait… you MADE this?" The panda was practically on the tips of his toes in giddy excitement. "That is insanely cool! Can you make something like that for me? Like a sword that can like… turn into nunchucks!" He took a double take at the nervous girl and quickly tried to introduce himself. "Oh I almost forgot, my name's Po. What's your name?"

"Po, let the girl rest. She's been through more than enough to have to take your excitement." Shifu told sternly.

"It's ok, I don't really mind." Ruby assured. "My name is Ruby. Thank you for taking me into your um… castle?"

"A palace actually." He corrected turning to the giant panda. "Po, since you've taken an interest in her. Why don't you go and give Ruby a tour?"

"Sure, come on you're gonna love the Jade Palace. When we're done you're gonna say "Wow, I wish I learned kung fu here.", follow me!" Po gestured her toward the next hall. The red hooded girl smiling softly as she followed behind him.

"Master, do you know where exactly she came from?" Tigress asked.

"No, from what she told me though it's obvious that she's from another world…" Shifu sighed. "For now, we'll keep Ruby here until she is more comfortable to talk."

A/N: Hey everyone been a while since I did a fanfic especially a kung fu panda one. I have another one in store in which two original characters of mine come into the world of KFP but I wanted to be the first to have it crossover with RWBY. Because ever since I saw her and saw how she can be I always imagined Ruby and Po being the best of friends. Please read and review if you can.
