"New chapter is up."

Ruby jolted awake as she stretched her tired deformed muscles.

"Oh.. already? Felt like five months have passed.." she muttered as she got off her bed and went to the private bathroom.

"Nope, only been a few hours. The author has been watching too much anime, that they forget about this."

"What anime?"

"You'll figure it out, it involves road rollers."

"Sounds.. interesting." Ruby smirked before she looked at the mirror.

It shattered as soon as it saw her reflection. She groaned again.

"Damnit.. Another mirror shattered. Meh, Beacon will cover it." She proceeding to splash water on her face before walking out of the bathroom.

"Hey, Hey, Hey! What? No showers? You probably smell like shit left out on the sun for too long."

"It's either smell like that or have you commenting on my body for five minutes."

"Fair point."

"Besides, this is the chapter where I get Cresent Rose!" She exclaimed excitedly.

"Alright then, let's get this started!"

Ruby opened the door to her room to see the face of Penny Polendina right in front of her.

"AH- oh hey, Penny.. how long have you been standing there?.." Ruby asked, not even wanting to know how she got here without her guards notice.

"Approximately 6 hours. Don't worry, I was on sleep mode." She exclaimed with a smile.

"Of course.. anyways, remember when you said you had a tracking device?" Ruby ask as Penny answered with a nod.

"Can you find anyone that has the first name 'Cinder?'" Ruby asked, remembering the last time she tried searching for Cinder.

"Of course! Let me quickly start up the program again." Her eyes glowed for a few seconds before she looked back at Ruby. "The only match for Cinder I can find is in Beacon. She's located in the building for transfer students."

"Oh really.. thanks Penny!.." She smiled as Penny walked into her room.

"Wow, your room is really empty."

"Well, I did just get here."

"But according to Mr. Ironwood and Ozpin, you were here for many hours-"

"-Sleeping.. anyways, I gotta see my sweetheart after many weeks apart, I'll see you later Penny!" They both waved their goodbyes before Ruby left, leaving Penny.

The robot girl walked around the empty room a few times before spotting something. Some fresh new school clothes that one of the teachers must've brought in.

(Flashback)

'That old man, ordering me to bring clothes to a student at this time of day! I need my beauty sleep, I'm not some type of butler. What's next bake cakes for the young one?..' Professor Port thought angrily as he tiredly made his way through Beacon halls. The portly professor exited the elevator, and made his way to the room to place the clothes on a shelf, too tired to notice the slouched over ginger near the walls.

'Wait, What?! That was the broom closet.' He groaned as he grabbed the clothes and placed them in the correct spot, leaving in a very annoyed state.

(Flashback end)

Penny examined the clothes carefully, holding onto the jacket, checking out the skirt, scanning the ribbons, and so on, before going into the bathroom.

A few minutes pass, and Penny was fully dressed in the uniform. It wasn't exactly her size, but it did enough to cover her robot parts. She looked at the reflection of her that appeared on small fragments of shattered glass and noticed that she blended in pretty well with the students. Maybe she could make more friends here in Beacon..

(Ruby.)

Ruby made her way down a hallway, down to the locker rooms, avoiding as much people as possible. It was pretty easy to do that, people would run away from her just from the smell alone.

"Alright, Cresent Rose I'm so close! I can hear your pleas to see me again!" She muttered. "I love you too.."

"This is weird. And that's coming from me."

"Shut up, we have a bond like no other!"

"It's a SCYTHE."

"And you're a voice, so shush!"

Ruby finally appeared next to the locker room, opening the door and walking to her locker, Spotting something on the wall.

"Huh? Oh right! Beacon is having a dance. I forgot all about it!" She exclaimed as she pulled the paper off the wall.

"Hah, you got no date!"

"And you got no 'body!' Now, for the last time shut up!"

"Wow.. harsh.. and terrible pun."

"Anyways, I might spot Cinder at the dance, or maybe her.. lackeys there-" she put the combination for her locker and opened it, starry eyes shining with a silver glow.

"-and cleave off their heads with Cresent Rose." She smiled, picking up the weapon and hugging it. Luckily Yang wasn't here to see this or she'll probably tease her about this.

"Oh right Yang."

The words seemed to ring in her ears before it disappeared.

"I didn't think about it till now, but she's probably worried sick about me. She's probably trying harder to look for me, than her mom right now.. And I've been here trying to avoid her all this time. Damn, I feel like a asshole.."

"Hey, woah. It's okay, you've been independent all this time. Yang would be proud that you've finally been moving on, being by yourself, proving that you can take down an entire organization all on your own."

"Yeah, but we were on a team. A team that worked together. I'm pretty sure my team was destroyed when they heard the news that I was missing." Ruby muttered sadly. "Maybe I should tell them that I'm fine, but nothing else..?"

"They'll figure it out."

"They would've found out eventually anyways.." Ruby pulled out her scroll and entered Yang's number. The girl's hand was shaking tremendously but after a few seconds, it went to voicemail.

"Hey, uh.. Yang it's me, Ruby. I know you've probably been looking for me all this time, but I promise. I am okay, Alright? I'm just on my own right now, because I have a few things I want to finish up with. I won't tell you what it is, but I guarantee you, I am okay. I'll see you later Yang. Bye."

Yang stared at her scroll for what felt like hours. Ruby's alive! And okay! Tears slowly started streaming out of her eyes as she tried to process what happened. She was on her bunk bed, moping for hours before her scroll rang, assuming it was Weiss, she ignored it, until that voicemail.

She was so happy, filled with joy that her baby sister was okay. The blonde happily jumped off her bed, before realizing something.

"What did she mean by finishing up with stuff?" Many thoughts clouded her mind, before forgetting it, completely embracing the fact that her sister was alive. She needed to tell the team about this.

(Penny.)

The robot happily made her way around Beacon, earning unfamiliar glares and waves from other students. All of them didn't know her, but they tried their best to be generous. The girl made her way towards the locker room where Ruby said she would be at before a few students blocked her view.

"Well, girle, I haven't seen you around here before, are you new here?" The front man asked as Penny nodded.

"Indeed, I am from Atlas, Atlas Academy! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Penny exclaimed as she raised her arm for a hand shake.

"Atlas huh? I thought they didn't allow brainless idiots in there.. oh, and I'm Cardin Winchester, you've probably heard of me. My family is made of pretty much the greatest huntsmen to ever live ." He smirked as he went to grab her hand. He smiled even more as he went to crush her hand to show how it was around here, before he screamed in pain as her hand tighten to the point where you can hear bones shatter.

"Woah, your family must be really strong. It's no wonder you are here in Beacon Academy, your father must be Cardinal Winchester then, he's a really great business man that spoke to Mr. Ironwood before. It's incredible to be speaking to his son. Oh! I'm sorry, I have to go and see another friend." She finally let go of his hand as his friends began backing away.

"I'll see you very soon! I hope you have a fantastic day!"
