AN: I totally forgot to update this. I did have more than half of it done by the time I forgot about it. It's a thing with me and my stories, I will most likely forget I wrote it and won't update it for months. Hell, there's a couple of stories that I haven't updated in two years, and I really should get on that.


In the dorm room of Team RWBY, their leader sat alone while staring at a screen trying to figure out how the game Yang showed her worked. With some time and patience, Ruby finally started to figure out the controls and win against the AI bots. When the screen flashed winner Ruby cheered a little. "Yes! I'm starting to get a hang of this!" Before Ruby could get back into playing, she heard the door behind her open. She turned around to see her teammates walking in. "Welcome back!" Ruby greeted her teammates before turning her attention back to the game.

"I see you're enjoying yourself," Yang said.

"Yeah! This is fun! At first, it was kinda frustrating, but I got used to it." Ruby placed the controller down and turned her attention to everyone else. "So... how were classes?"

"It was boring," Yang said.

"Oh..."

"We need to talk," Weiss said with a rather serious expression.

"Okay? About what?"

"We talked with Ozpin before coming here. I'm afraid if you haven't retained your skill, you won't be able to stay here."

"Oh, is that bad?" Ruby asked. She looked at Yang and Blake. "Is that bad?"

"Yes, it means that if you leave, our team gets either a new leader or... our team gets disbanded. Frankly, I don't want neither." Weiss said.

"Oh, that's no good. I won't be able to get back all of my memories of you."

"What do you want to do?" Weiss asked.

"I'll try to help you... if I can, but I don't know where to start."

"Well, we can start by testing out your skill. That's what we were talking about with Ozpin."

"So, what are we gonna do?" Ruby asked.

"We can start by going to the lockers to get your weapon. Then we can have a sparring match to see if you remember how to fight."

"Okay, I think I can do that."

"Well then, let's go," Weiss said. "Are you two coming?"

"Well, duh! It's my sister!"

"Our team is in jeopardy," Blake said. "Alright, I'll come with."


Ruby followed Weiss outside the door of their dorm with Yang and Blake right behind her. Not long after they left the dorm, the door to JNPR's room opened. Ruby turned around curiously, wondering who it could be. She noticed it was Jaune and he was talking with Yang. Ruby was about to stop when Blake suddenly bumped into Ruby not expecting her to stop. "What is it, Ruby?"

"It's just..." Before she could say anything, her partner stopped once she noticed nobody was following her.

"Ruby! Come on!" Weiss said.

"Oh, right! Coming!" Ruby rushed over to the white-haired girl's side.


Locker Room

When they arrived at the locker room, Ruby just decided to follow the two since she didn't exactly know where to go. While she was following them she ended up looking through her scroll. She came across a couple of things, mainly pictures of Beacon, Pyrrha and herself, also ruins of some kind with a mountain in the background. She also came across a small file that contains just numbers. Since her focus was on her scroll, she didn't realize that her teammates stopped. This time she ended up bumping into Blake.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Blake."

"It's fine."

"Do you remember the code to your locker?" Weiss asked.

"Uh, no. I'm sorry."

"It's fine. I didn't really think you would remember it anyway."

"Uh, do you think this is it?" Ruby held up her scroll and showed her the numbers she was looking at.

"Maybe... It's the right amount of numbers." Ruby stood in front of the locker and she looked at her scroll one more time before she punched in the code.

"11...07...12..." Once she hit the last number the locker opened up and revealed some of the stuff she had collected since her time at Beacon mostly ammunition. She noticed a picture that had a small girl with the same hair colour as her with a blonde man hugging her and another kid with blonde hair. There was also a black and white puppy sitting between them. She took the picture and looked at it for a while.

"I wonder... is this me?" Ruby said to herself.

Weiss looked over Ruby's shoulder and looked at the picture. "It probably is."

"Then if that's me... then this must be Yang. I wonder who is in the middle?"

"Probably your father," Blake said.

"Father, huh?" Ruby was quiet for a while as she stared at the picture.

"Do you remember him?" Weiss asked.

"I don't know... maybe? I'll have to think about it later." Ruby stuck the picture back to where it was. She looked at the red and black weapon in her locker.

"Come on. Grab your weapon, and let's go." Weiss said as she went over to her locker.

Ruby reached over the weapon and once she pulled on it, she heard a clicking noise. She ended up almost falling over from the weight but quickly got back her balance.

Blake reached out to Ruby prepared to help her. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing! I'm fine! I just didn't think this would be heavy."

"Come on, let's go. Professor Goodwitch is waiting for us." Ruby got a better grip on her weapon before she followed Weiss to the combat arena.


Beacon Combat Arena

Ruby awkwardly tried to figure out how her weapon worked while Weiss just stretched to prepare for the small sparring match. It took awhile, but Ruby was finally able to figure out how her weapon worked. It was just going to take more time to figure out how to use it properly in combat. Glynda stood nearby to watch the match at Ozpin's request. "Alright, ladies. You may begin whenever you are ready."

'So this is how you fire this thing.' Ruby thought as she put her finger on the trigger after figuring how to changing Crescent Rose into its scythe form. 'But what is this for?' Ruby placed her hand on top of the bolt handle of her weapon.

"Are you ready?" Weiss called out to Ruby as she readied Myrtenaster, the revolver mechanism spun before locking into place.

"Um, not really. But, I'll start if you want."

"Okay, Ruby, don't worry about hurting me. I can take whatever you throw at me." Weiss said.

"Are you sure?" Ruby asked a little worried since she didn't really want to hurt Weiss.

"Yes, I'm sure. Just do whatever it takes to get a hang of this."

"O-Okay, if you say so." Ruby looked at her weapon before held it up and looked at Weiss who was completely concentrated.

"Alright, Ruby. Try something."

Ruby looked at her weapon once again as she began to wonder who to aim with it. She held up the weapon and tilted it slightly to the side. Ruby held the weapon awkwardly as she took and just as she fired Ruby yelped from the huge amount of kickback. Weiss flicked her wrist and summoned a glyph just as Ruby fired her weapon so the bullet didn't hit her. Ruby stared at Weiss slightly confused about how to fire without the kickback.

"How did I use this thing?" Ruby said as she picked herself up from the ground.

"Well, you usually stick the blade into the ground to stabilize it," Weiss said.

"Oh, okay, I get it," Ruby said as she readied herself.

On the sidelines, Yang and Blake watched Ruby tried to fight Weiss, but she didn't let one hit in. Yang and Blake were slightly worried that Ruby won't be able to attend Beacon anymore. "Do you think she'll be able to pass?" Blake said.

"I'm... I don't know. I honestly don't know." Yang said.

Through the sounds of the fight between Ruby and Weiss, Blake could hear the sound of someone rushing into the room. Blake looked towards the sound to see that it was Pyrrha. She noticed that all her focus was on the fight and she could see the worry in her eyes.

Back at the arena stage, Ruby slid against the ground as she dropped her weapon. Once Ruby came to a halt, Weiss watched her just lay there most likely tired. Weiss dropped stance and walked over to Ruby. "Are you hurt? Come on, get up." Weiss said as she helped Ruby up.

"I'm fine. Thanks, Weiss."

"Miss Schnee... what do you think?" Glynda asked.

"Well... she still knows how to fight, although, clumsily."

"Do you think she's ready?"

"If she trains again, then yes. I believe she's ready."

"I see," Glynda said with a nod. "I'll go have a chat with Professor Ozpin about Ruby's situation then he'll give you your answer. You two should rest up for now."

"Yes, of course." Weiss turned towards Ruby and noticed that Pyrrha was next to her. 'When did she get here?'

"Ruby, are you okay?" One could clearly hear the worry in the champion's voice.

"I'm fine. Nothing to worry about." Ruby said with a reassuring smile.

"Are you sure?"

"Yep! I'm good!" Ruby said once again with a smile.

"Hehe, alright." Pyrrha let out a relieved chuckle.

"Hey, Glynda said she was going to talk with Ozpin," Weiss said.

"Oh, okay," Ruby said.

"You should rest for now. That sparring match more than likely made you tired."

"Yeah, I guess I am a little tired."
