A few things before starting this story. First don't expect more chapters anytime soon I want to get more done before posting the rest. I'm only posting this to one get this story out there and two not have my name for the story taken again. Second, I know I have other stories that are incomplete at the time of writing this but I lack motivation to write any of them, as well as ideas for them. I want to put out quality work and I can't do that with out the motivation to do something. Third, as of right now in RWBY we have no idea what the Relic of Choice does. For now I'm keeping it as I envision it but I might change it if new info comes out on it. Finally, for a release schedule, I'll be releasing chapter when arcs are done. When that does happen it'll be on a weekly bases. And now on to the story.


New World Arc

Chapter 1: From a Dying World

Ruby let out a fierce cry as silver wings sprung forth from her eyes. The death of Pyrrha had awaken something in her. In another time perhaps this would have done something incredible. However in this version of these events, Cinder held the Relic of Choice. It shielded her from the holy power of the silver eyes. As everything went white Ruby heard on thing.

"Congratulations Ruby Rose, you get a front row seat to the end of the world!" Cinder declared.

Then, there was darkness…


Dagoba Beach, 7:00 PM…

Izuku Midoriya was in the middle of his training for the UA Entrance Exam. He had ten months to prepare his body to receive All Might's quirk and he was three months in. He and All Might, who is in his skinny form, were nearing the end of their training session. With several grunts Izuku moved the last bit of trash.

"Aaannnd… there." He expressed triumphantly.

"Good job Young Midoriya you did good work today." All Might complimented. "Get some rest and we can continue tomorrow."

"Yes sir," Izuku expressed.

The duo made there way back to the beaches exit. While tired Izuku had big bright smile plastered on his face. All Might took notice of this.

"You seem especially happy today." He noted.

"Y-yeah well… things have been really looking up." Izuku stated. "I'm starting to see results from all this strength training. Schools been going really well and it's looking like getting into UA is more real than ever before."

He looked down at his clenched fist.

"I guess I'm just really happy about that." He expressed.

"Hahaha… glad to hear it." All Might returned.

As they neared the exit, Izuku spotted something out of the corner of his eye. Seemingly washed up on the beach was a person who looked like a girl, but he couldn't make out her feature.

"Hey All Might, someone's washed on the beach." Izuku pointed out as he ran over to her.

"What?!" All Might expressed as he followed suite.

The two arrived to find a young girl no older than Izuku himself. Her hair was short and black with red tips. She was dressed in a long sleeved high collar black dress with red trim around around her skirt and the ends of her sleeves. She also wore a black waist cincher with red laces, black stockings, and black combat boots with red laces. Slung around her hips at an angle was a wide black belt. On it was a pouch and a ornate silver rose emblem. To finish her outfit off was a red hooded cloak pinned to her shoulders with two cross shaped pins. The outfit of the girl, while not completely out of the ordinary, was puzzling to both Izuku and All Might.

"Well this is strange how did this girl end up here." All Might pointed out. "She shows no signs of being attacked."

"Yeah I noticed that too." Izuku noted.

Suddenly the girl began to stir.

"Nah…" She expressed.

"Hey she's waking up." Izuku pointed out.

All Might shifted to his buff up form to hopeful provide comfort and security for the girl as the number one hero. Slowly her eyes begin to open.

"Young lady are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?" All Might asked.

"Huh?" She expressed.

Slowly she rose up to a sitting position.

"Ughh… where am I?" She questioned groggily.

"Musutafu Japan, specifically Dagoba Municipal Beach." Izuku explained.

"Musuta… Musu… what…" the girl expressed blankly.

"Uhmm… young lady are you…" All Might began.

"WHAT'S GOING ON, I'VE NEVER HEARD ANY PLACE CALLED MUSUHOWEVER YOU SAY IT!" She screamed as she hoped to her feet.

"Calm down young lady there's no need to panic. I am here and will help you anyway I can." All Might assured her now on his feet.

"A-and who are you?" The girl asked.

"Young miss this no time for games." All Might expressed.

"But I'm not playing any games I honestly don't know who you are." She expressed fervently.

"WHAT?! How do you not know him?! He's All Might, the number one hero!" Izuku proclaimed.

Holy wow I just talked to a girl. Izuku mentally noted.

"All Might? Number one hero? What are you guys talking about?" She questioned.

There was an awkward silence for a few brief seconds.

"A-All Might I think she's telling the truth." Izuku pointed out.

"Young Midoriya I believe your right." All Might noted.

There was another awkward silence.

"Sooooo… are you guys gonna… explain anything?" She asked.

"R-right first off young lady you don't have amnesia do you?" All Might asked.

"N-no… I remember everything fine." She answered.

"I see if that's the case we should start with introductions. As you've been told I am All Might." All Might suggested.

"A-and I-I'm I-I-Izuku M-Midoriya." Izuku greeted nervously as he finally realized he was talking to an actual girl.

"Ruby Rose." The girl greeted.

"Right, now then Young Rose where are you from?" All Might asked.

"I'm from an Island called Patch." Ruby answered.

"I never heard of an island called that, what is it near?" All Might questioned.

"It's off the coast of the city of Vale. It's small so it's not very well known outside of the locals." Ruby answered.

"That just makes things even more complicated. I've never heard of a city called Vale." All Might expressed.

"WHAT?!" Ruby shouted. "But Vale is like, one of the four most important cities in Remnant. Everyone knows about it."

"Something's not adding up here this Remnant it's the name you call the planet, correct?" All Might inquired.

"Ahh… yeah…" Ruby expressed.

"Well then miss, assuming your telling the truth, I don't think your on your planet anymore. This planet is called Earth not Remnant." All Might noted.

"WHAT?!" Ruby Shrieked. "B-but how?"

"I do not know." All Might expressed.

"M-maybe i-if you remember the e-events before you got here t-that might hold a clue." Izuku suggested.

Holy wow I just talked to a girl again.

"R-right good idea that might help." Ruby expressed with a smile. "Let's see I was running up Beacon Tower. I was trying to save Pyrrha I got to the top when…"

Suddenly she stopped as she remember exactly what happened.

"W-w-when I s-s-s-saw h-h-her die." Ruby expressed as she collapsed to her knees, tears running down her cheeks.

All Might and Izuku froze on hearing this. Neither expect such a tragic story.

"Then everything went white. The last thing I heard was 'Congratulations Ruby Rose, you get a front row seat to the end of the world'." She finished before breaking down into tears.

Izuku rushed to comfort her in a hug. Ruby recipticated hugging him tightly and burying her head into Izuku's shoulder.

"It's gone isn't? What she said is true, my world's gone." Ruby cried out.

"Young Rose I'm sorry… I can't even begin to comprehend how you feel." All Might expressed solemnly.

"We should give her time to rest. There's a lot we need to figure out but I think that can wait." Izuku pointed out.

"I believe you are right Young Midoriya. In the meantime I think she should stay with you." All Might suggested.

"W-W-WHAT?!" Izuku expressed. "B-But why? I mean not that I w-won't but w-why me."

"Well she can't stay with me that'd raise suspicion and draw unnecessary attention. Which is the last thing she needs." All Might pointed out.

"I-I g-g-guess your r-right." Izuku expressed, nervous at the prospect of a girl staying at his house. "B-but how will I explain this to my Mom."

"Don't worry Young Midoriya I already have a plan." All Might assured him.


The Midoriya residency…

Inko Midoriya opened the door and was greeted by an unexpected sight.

"ALL MIGHT!" She shrieked.

"Good evening Mrs. Midoriya." All Might greeted.

Seeing All Might at her door was one thing but seeing him with her son was another thing entirely. That's not even mentioning the mysterious black haired girl with them. Said girl looked down and away nervously, fidgeting with her hands.

"T-to owe what pleasure do I… I mean… to pleasure what I owe… I uh… mean to what do I owe the pleasure of meeting you?" She asked.

A bed of sweat rolled down All Might's face at Inko's reaction but he didn't let it bother him too much.

"Yes well… there are somethings I'd like to discuss. As you know your son has been training for UA. Though what you don't know is that I was the one who arranged it." All Might explained.

"W-What?! I mean I know Izuku had seriously started preparing what with the strange meal plan but I didn't know the number one hero was involved." She expressed before turning to her son. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Well uhmm…" Izuku began.

"The fault lies with me. I told Young Midoriya to keep this a secret to avoid drawing unnecessary attention. I'd actually be doing most of the training myself but do to my business I'm having a good friend of mine be there in my stead, though I do drop by when I can." All Might explained. "Though in hindsight him telling you as his mother wouldn't have caused any harm."

Izuku rubbed the back of his head nervously at the comment.

"Well no harm done I suppose but that still leaves one question." Inko brought up. "Who's this girl?"

"I-I'm Ruby Rose." Ruby answered with a nervous wave.

"Hello Ruby I'm Inko Midoriya, Izuku's mother." Inko explained.

She then directed her attention back to All Might.

"What's she doing here did something happen between her and Izuku?" Inko asked.

"That's actually the main reason we're here. You see Young Midoriya and I were finishing up his training for tonight when we spot this young lady washed up on the beach." All Might Explained. "When we asked her what had happened to her and where she's from, we learned she's likely from another planet."

"What?" Inko gasped. "So she's like an alien?"

"Correct," All Might answered.

"But that still doesn't answer why she's here." Inko pointed out.

"I'm getting to that. You see Young Rose here has been through a lot. From the loss of a friend to her home world likely being destroyed by some sort of evil doer it's safe to say she's had it rough." All Might explained.

"Oh my word." Inko gasped.

"That being said I thought it best to let her stay with you given Young Midoriya was there when we found her. I'd offer to take her in but I fear the attention it may draw would make things harder for Young Rose." All Might further explained. "That is if it's alright ma'am?"

"Of course it's alright, after hearing that how could I say no." Inko expressed.

"Glad to hear it. With that taken care of I best be going." All Might stated. "Remember to get plenty of sleep for tomorrow's training Young Midoriya."

"Y-yes sir." Izuku replied.

"And Young Rose let Young Midoriya know when your ready to talk more. There's still a lot we have to figure out." All Might stated.

"I-I will thanks for everything All Might sir." Ruby expressed.

"Don't mention it, Take care you two." All Might stated before he leapt away.

They stood there for a few seconds staring in awe at All Might exit.

"Alright then let's get you two inside." Inko stated.

The two nodded before heading into the apartment with Inko closing the door behind them.

"Make yourself at home Ruby. You've been through a lot and I want you to feel as comfortable as possible. Feel free to ask me for anything you need." Inko stated.

"T-thank you Mrs. Midoriya, I hope I'm not too much of a burden." Ruby expressed.

"Don't worry about it Ruby and feel free to call me Inko." Inko assured her.

"O-okay," Ruby expressed.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"It must be one of the neighbors." Inko sighed. "Looks like I've got some explaining to do. Izuku show Ruby around while I deal with them."

"A-alright mom," Izuku expressed.

While Inko went to answer the door Izuku lead Ruby down the hallway.

"S-s-s-so t-there's m-my r-room." Izuku stated, pointing to a door with his name on it.

"I can tell. It says your name after all." Ruby noted.

"Y-yeah… w-wait, Ruby? Y-you can read that?" Izuku questioned.

"Yeah?" Ruby expressed confused.

"B-but you shouldn't be able to, I doubt you'd have the same writing system as us." Izuku pointed out. "Not only that I just realized we understand each other perfectly there's no way you should know any Japanese."

Suddenly, the realization dawn on Ruby.

"Your right, I shouldn't be able speak the language let alone read it." Ruby pointed out. "B-but how is that possible."

"Hmm… I wonder…" Izuku began. "IfRubycamefromanotherworldbutisabletospeakreadandpossiblywriteinJapaneseitcouldmeanwhateverbroughtherherechangedhertofittheworldifthat'sthecasewhatelsecouldhavechangedwe'llhavetodosometestsonceshe'sreadytoshejusthowmuchhaschanged."

"Uhh… Izuku?" Ruby expressed as he continued muttering. "HEY!"

"Ah… what s-sorry. I-I tend to mutter a lot." Izuku expressed.

"It's fine you just weirded me out a bit." Ruby assured him. "Anyways could you show me the rest of your place."

"Oh… r-right, we've still got that to do." Izuku expressed.

Izuku proceeded to give Ruby a tour of the rest of his apartment. It didn't take long given the Midoriya's didn't have a large apartment. By the time they finished, Inko had finished up her talk with the neighbors and was walking up to talk to them.

"Okay so I've manage to explain things to some of the neighbors without drawing too much attention to Ruby." Inko explained. "I told them Ruby was a family friend staying with us to attend school here. I chalked up All Might being here to the two you getting rescued by him from a small time villain. Hopefully that should keep them from asking too many questions."

"Thank you Mrs. Midori… I mean Inko I really appreciate it." Ruby expressed.

"Don't mention it dear. Izuku and I will help you anyway we can." Inko assured her.

"S-she's right, if there's anything you need don't hesitate to ask." Izuku added.

"Thanks, I will." Ruby returned.

"Good, now then I don't mean to rush buuuuut we've got some shopppiiing to dooo." Inko sung.

"Huh?" Ruby and Izuku expressed.

"Well you can't go around with only one set of clothes dear." Inko pointed out.

"B-but couldn't she just use some mine or your clothes, at least for the time being." Izuku pointed out.

"Yeah and besides I've had a long day getting some rest would be go." Ruby added.

"Oh don't be silly a girl needs her own set of clothes and there's no time like the present. Besides the clothing stores are still opened and…" Inko rambled on.

"I think my mom's a little excited at the idea of a girl's shopping trip." Izuku expressed while Inko continued to ramble.

"You think," Ruby noted.

Ruby let out a long sigh.

"I guess it can't hurt." She expressed. "Let me first put my…"

She stopped mid sentence when she felt near the back of waist only to find nothing there. Her face blanked before turning to sheer panic.

"Ahh! Where is it?!" She exclaimed while looking and patting around herself.

"Where's what?" Izuku asked confused.

"Crescent Rose, my scythe." Ruby answered in panic.

"You had a scythe?" Inko questioned.

"Yeah it's what I fought with. I put a lot of work into making it." Ruby explained.

"You made it?" Izuku questioned.

"Yeah it was my baby. I put hours no days of hard work into customizing it for me. Do you know how hard it was to make a scythe that was also customizable high impact sniper rifle?" Ruby explained.

"It was also a gun?!" Izuku exclaimed.

"That… seems dangerous for a 15 year old to wield." Inko noted.

An intense aura suddenly surrounded Ruby sending chills down Inko's and Izuku's spine.

"Cinder," She muttered. "You've crossed a line, Pyrrha and my planet was one thing. But now you've caused me to lose my precious Crescent Rose. You'll pay!"

Both Izuku and Inko chuckled nervously at Ruby's strange declaration.


An Alleyway, later that night…

Cinder Fall steps though the alleyway, darkness shrouding much of her appearance. She didn't know how but she knew something in her had changed.

"Well… This isn't what I was expecting." She noted.

Suddenly she heard footsteps coming from behind her. She turned to see and brown haired man with a plague mask over his face approach her.

"Who are you, and why are you here?" He questioned.

Cinder's eyes narrowed.

"I could ask the same of you." She returned.


And Chapter one is done. Feel free to leave a review on what you think of this so far. Till next time... whenever that is.
