Chapter 1: Vale is Alive Tonight

In a dust shop in Vale, it was quite empty. The only two people in the shop were an old man, who was the shop owner, and a young girl in a red cape with silver eyes and black hair that is tipped with red, reading a magazine about weapons and listening to music.

It was a peaceful night that was until a group of men in matching black suits and hats with weapons entered the shop. They were all led by a man in white with orange hair and a bowler hat.

The man in white approached the front desk manned by the old man.

"Do you have any idea it is to find a dust shop this late?" the man asked rhetorically.

"Please just take my lien and leave," the poor old man begged.

"Calm down we're not here for your money," the man reassured, "Grab the dust," the men in black then gathered the dust in the store.

One goon approached the girl, who was clearly not aware of what was happening at all.

"Hey, kid!" the goon shouted as he tugged on her shoulder.

The girl calmly turned around and saw what the fuss was. The goon pointed toward his ear trying to get the girl to take off her headphones. She did so and asked, "Yes?"

The goon looked very irritated and barked, "Put your hands u-"

He was interrupted by the door swinging open revealing a tall lean blond boy with blue eyes wearing a black sweatshirt, white gloves, and headphones that played music.

The boy stopped and looks at the scene in front of him. He takes off his headphones and asks, "You guys robbing this place?"

"Yes, we are." The bowler hat guy sneered.

"Oohhhh."

The boy slyly smirks at the statement and cracks his knuckles. He then claps his hands together causing blue lightning to course through the air around him.

A sword began to form from the floor of the shop. He grabbed the sword and got into a fighting stance and smiled a genuine smile. He scans the goons and simply says, "Let's do this."

Almost immediately the men charged the boy expecting an easy fight. What they did not expect, however, is them being thrown out the window with minimal effort.

The bowler hat man took this as his cue to leave. He quickly got the dust he managed to collect and dashed as fast he can outside through the window only to be stopped by the girl in red now wielding a large red scythe.

"Oh, this is just great," the man complained.

The men charged the scythe-wielding girl. The girl manages to kick a goon in the face using her scythe as support. She then fired a bullet out of the scythe using the momentum to take out a whole wave of goons.

"Hey, save some action for me," the boy said playfully as he joined the girl in beating up some poor fools.

The girl smiled as she and the boy made quick work of the goons. As the last man got thrown around by the boy and the girl. The poor goon was hurled before the bowler hat man's presence. He looks at the fallen goon disappointed and mutters sarcastically,

"You were worth every cent truly you were." The man then looked at the dynamic duo in front of him, "Well I am afraid this freak show has to end."

He pointed his cane at the general direction of the duo as they stared at him with cautious looks.

His cane then fires toward the duo. The boy sees this and quickly dashes in front of the girl keeping her as close to him as possible and claps his hands and plants them on the ground. Suddenly a tall, thick wall quickly ascends from the ground to protect the couple from the shot.

The boy looks behind him to see the girl, looking at him with sparkles in her eyes. She then opens her mouth to quickly speak,

"Howdidyoudothatdid?Isityoursemblance?Areyouahuntsmen?IfsocanIget yourautogr-" the boy gently puts his finger up to her lips gesturing her to stop talking causing her to blush.

"I will tell you later," the boy said with a smile, "but right now we need to stop that crook. Miss?"

"O-oh it's Ruby R-Rose" the girl stuttered.

"Ruby huh. I like it." The boy responded.

As the wall quickly descended, the duo sees the man climbing a ladder which led to a roof. They quickly followed him and Ruby shouted, "Stop!"

The man stops near the edge of the roof and mutters, "Persistent."

Suddenly, a bullhead quickly rises in front of the man, which he quickly jumped on.

"Well, you two it has been my displeasure." The man remarked. "Fortunately for me, this will be the last time we meet." He said as he threw a fire crystal toward the duo.

The boy saw this and once again got in front of Ruby. He prepares to clap his hands together, but suddenly two fingers snapping is heard and a powerful stream of fire engulfs the red dust crystal.

The boy and Ruby look behind them to see a raven-haired girl in a red dress with her right hand covered with red gloves raised toward the bullhead. Once the boy's blue eyes met her amber eyes he smiled. "Hey Cinder."

The girl then looks at the boy and returns his smile, "Hey yourself, Jaune."

The now entitled boy known as Jaune, smirks and walks over to Cinder and hugs her. A red shade is made visible on her cheeks.

"Great," the man said, "this freak show can't get any worse."

Suddenly, a barrage of purple strings of light starts to assault the bullhead. The trio turns toward the source to see a blond lady with green eyes covered by glasses wielding a riding crop.

"Me and my dumb mouth." The man mumbles and then realizes something, "Why are we still here, let's get the hell out of he-"

He was interrupted by the bullhead shaking violently. He looks to see the blond woman perpetually attacking the bullhead. He sighs as he grabs the cases of dust he collected and threw it at the quartet on the ground. He gets his cane out and shoots it.

But not before the lady got in front of them and quickly made a shield or some sort of forcefield with her powers. As the bullet hit the dust, there was a grand explosion of colors colliding.

As the smoke cleared, three things happened. First, Roman escaped empty-handed.

Second, Cinder and Jaune looked at each other for a moment and just smiled.

"I am guessing you are here to go to Beacon?" Jaune asked.

"Yes, I am" She responded.

Third and lastly, Ruby looked at the blond lady and Cinder with sparkles in her eyes and shouted,

"That... Was soooo cool! Can I get an autogr-"

"You three are coming with me. Now," The blond lady said interrupting the now scared girl.

Timeskip

The trio is now in an interrogation room in which the lady is ranting about their decision to take on the now named criminal known as Roman Torchwick.

"If it were up to me, you three would be sent home with a pat on the back." the blond lady lectured.

The girl in red seemed to look proud at hearing these words, while Jaune was trying to stay awake and Cinder wasn't paying attention.

"and a slap on the wrist." The lady then strikes her riding crop on the table making Ruby squeak.

"Are you two even paying attention to me?!" The lady questioned Cinder and Jaune.

Jaune jolted up and quickly started apologizing.

Cinder gained an evil smile and responded,

"No, I wasn't paying attention to you, you old hag."

A vein appeared on her head and her eye was noticeably twitching.

"What did you just call me?" The blond lady asked trying to hold back her anger.

Jaune and Ruby were busy trying to hide their smile.

"What? You can't hear me with those dinosaur ears?" Cinder mocked, "I said I wasn't paying attention you old hag."

Ruby started laughing while Jaune kept his in somehow. The lady on the other hand looked like she was going to strangle Cinder.

"You little shi-"

The door then swings open revealing a skinny tall man in black with white hair.

"That's enough Glynda." The man said.

Glynda calmed down for the most part but she kept glaring at Cinder.

Ozpin then looks at Ruby very closely and states, "You have silver eyes."

"Yeah..." Ruby responds

"Ruby Rose, daughter of Summer Rose and Tai Xiao-Long. Cinder Fall, adopted along with three others by Amber. And last but not least, Jaune Arc, son of Alex and Joan Arc," The man said without missing a beat.

The three mentioned teens were quite impressed by the man's knowledge of who they were. But they weren't surprised.

"I am assuming you all know who I am," the man said.

"Of course you're Ozpin, the head of Beacon Academy," Ruby responded.

Ozpin smirked at her acknowledgment of him. He got a plate of cookies out of nowhere and laid it on the table. Ruby dug into the plate while Jaune and Cinder watched Ruby engulf the plate effortlessly. They were almost impressed.

Ozpin then got a tablet out and played videos of Ruby fighting.

"Where did you learn to fight with the most dangerous weapon like this?" Ozpin asked Ruby, who was still eating cookies.

"I learned it from a teacher at Signal." She responded with her mouth full.

"I am guessing you learned it from a teacher named Qrow?" Ozpin questioned.

Ruby nods her head and says,

"That's my uncle," after swallowing a mouthful of cookies,

"I see," Ozpin says, "And you two have quite a history with each other." He says gesturing toward Cinder and Jaune.

"Yeah, that's right," Jaune confirmed.

"And you two are planning to go to Beacon?" Ozpin inquired.

"Planning to go? We are going." Cinder replied confidently.

"Well, judging from your transcripts and fighting ability that was shown tonight, Beacon welcomes you two with open arms," Ozpin remarked. "As for you." Ozpin looks at Ruby, "You are only 15 correct?"

Ruby deflates a little and says, "Yeah, my older sister is going, but I have to stay back because I am too young."

Cinder and Jaune eyes widen.

"Wait, you're only 15!" Jaune asks surprised.

"Why is that a problem?" Ruby asks weakly.

"Nononono. I didn't mean it like that!" Jaune reassured. "That is some amazing fighting! Probably, one of the best fighters I have ever seen!"

Ruby gains a blush and stutters, "T-T-Thank you.

Cinder looks at Ruby and scoffs. 'Great, now another girl likes Jaune.' Cinder thinks to herself. 'Competition is getting tougher and tougher.'

"Ok, back on topic." Ozpin says trying to get the conversation back on track, "How would you like to go to Beacon?"

Ruby's eye's lit up with sparkles.

"Of course take as much time as you nee-"

"YES!" Ruby shouted eagerly.

"Well, Ruby Rose welcome to Beacon young lady." Ozpin smiled.

Jaune smiled and gave Ruby a thumbs up. Cinder sees this and tries to calm herself. Emphasis on tries.

"Great, can we go home now?" Cinder asked annoyed that Ruby is coming to Beacon.

"Yes, that is all," Ozpin says.

Everyone begins to leave until Ozpin stops Jaune,

"I need to talk to you."

Cinder and Ruby look back at Jaune with concern in her eyes. Jaune simply smiles at her, saying,"It's fine, just wait for me."

Cinder and Ruby nod and walk away.

Soon the only two people in the room were Jaune and Ozpin.

"I am guessing this is about my semblance?"

To be continued...

A/n: this is the first fanfic I ever wrote, but don't go easy on it. I want criticism. Anyways I made... well... "minor" changes to the original story like Cinder being good and Jaune being a good fighter. Of course, you will see many aspects and plot points from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

Also, I decided to make Cinder pretty much have the same ability as Roy Mustang because I think the two have a lot in common, they both have a stoic nature and of course control fire.

I also made a lot more changes in the story that you will see the next chapter.

Also, I am planning to make this a harem story with the lovable Blond Knight, Jaune.

But this story will diverge from the original story.

Also, I won't update very often, expect an update every two months.

Anyways that's it. See ya later.

Update! 7/8/19: Added lines and organized some shiz throughout the chapters
