RWBY+JoJo mash up (Male Stand User X Ruby Rose) Volume 6

Part 5 Decision

Maria: The Apathy. They're not strong or ferocious. They drain your will to go on. Bartleby's estate was hemorrhaging money towards the end. He wanted to cut costs on Huntsman protection, but in order to do that, he needed everyone calm... always.

Oscar: *Reading from the journal* "Managed to get two away from their pack. The hike back was miserable but got the bastards in the cellar. Wife thinks I was out sealing the waterway entrance. I'll do it tomorrow and tell her the truth once these things take the edge off of everyone. I'm tired."

Maria: The next page proves that he did, but not before the rest of the pack followed their missing pair all the way home. My guess is they made their way beneath the estate through the water tunnels that Bartleby sealed up the next morning. Bartleby's plan worked. No one was angry or sad or scared. No one was anything. And then... no one was left.

The last words that were written down being "I'm tired". She then closes the book and tosses it out into the snow, while the group continues to drive down the road.

Weiss: I'm... sorry for what I said...

Upon hearing this, Yang stops driving.

Yang: Me too. I'm sorry.

Ruby: It's not your fault. It was those...things.

Blake: But those...ideas...they had to come from somewhere

Everyone was beginning to question their motives and why they were what they were doing, Ozpin had lied to them, it seemed like what they were doing was impossible, these weren't the same feeling thanks to the apathy, no, these were just doubts.

(Y/n): *sighs* Okay, It's pretty obvious that you all are questioning your reasons for doing this, and even if it's possible, and you might still have doubts *sighs* So, make your decision right now

This shocked everyone, it even made Yang stop driving due to the sudden surprise.

Yang: What do you mean, "make your decision right now"?

(Y/n): It's obvious what I mean, are you gonna give up and leave or keep going with the objective, even knowing what you know now

They all looked down in thought, Salem is un-killable, there is no way to end her, Ozpin had lied to them, what do they do.

(Y/n): *sighs* I don't know about you guys, but *clenches his fist* I'm gonna keep going, I don't care if Jinn says she's un-killable, I'll find a way, Hmph honestly I think I will find a way

He stood up and reached behind him and pulled out a glass arrow, the same glass arrow that Cinder had pierced him back at the fall of Beacon, they were all confused, but he just put it back where he had it.

(Y/n): So, are you in or are you out?

They all were still lost in thought, but suddenly Ruby stood up next him, clenching her own fist in determination, She then grabs his hand to show that she was still on board with him.

Ruby: I wasn't going to give up in the first place, I'll keep fighting on with you by my side

Everyone saw this and made up their mind as well.

Yang: If Ruby's still going, why would I give up?

Blake: I left once, I'm not doing that again

Weiss: You people are absolutely insane, so I'm going with you

They proceed to pump their fist into the air with excitement.

Oscar: Kinda have to

Qrow: Whatever...

Maria: This seems like it's starting to get exciting, count me in

With their new found determination, they all continued towards Argus and in pursuit of their objective. As they continued on Ruby grew curious about something.

Ruby: By the way, Miss Calavera? In the tunnels, you knew exactly what to say to make me... to make my eyes do that. How?

Maria: *smiles* Well, isn't it obvious, girl? I had Silver Eyes.

This sends another shocker through the team, especially Ruby as she has not met anyone else who has silver eyes, as Qrow told her they were a rare trait. Maria then begins to tell a grand story about how she was a great huntress knows as The Grimm Reaper, a story that this gal does not feel like typing out, SparkNotes version, she told them about how she could wipe out Grimm with just a glance, how skilled of a huntress she was and how she eventually lost her abilities.

Qrow: *astounded* I can't believe it. You... You're the Grimm Reaper, you were a legend! And then you disappeared...

Oscar: How exactly does a legend just disappear?

Qrow: You never used your name, never showed your face. Lots of us thought you were just layin' low. Eventually, we just came to accept that you were probably dead. But the stories about you, I based my weapon off of yours. I wanted to be as good as the Grimm Reaper.

Maria: Well, I'm nothing but a disappointment, so you're well on your way.

Blake: How can you say that?

Maria: Child, a Huntress is supposed to protect others to the bitter end. But after I lost my eyes, I only ever looked after myself. Even after my surgery, I was too afraid to fight. Afraid someone would find me again, finish what the others started. You shouldn't aspire to be like me, especially when some of you are clearly stronger already.

Upon hearing this, Yang looks down sadly.

Maria: It's... comforting, seeing that your generation seems up to the task of inheriting this world. I'm just sorry I didn't do more to leave it in better shape.

Ruby: Well, maybe you can do something now. Teach me to use my powers the way you did.

As Maria looks back at Ruby, a Scroll's ringtone can be heard. It was Ruby's, she pulls her Scroll out and gasps at who it is.

Ruby: It's Jaune!

Yang stops her bike, looking back in surprise. Everyone says "Huh?" as they wonder how Jaune contacted them.

Weiss: How?

Ruby: Uh, hello?

Jaune: Ruby! Oh, thank you! I've been checking my Scroll for your signal since we made it to the city!

Ruby: The city? Wait...

She looks at the little signal symbol under Jaune's portrait, watching it get better as she points her Scroll toward the road ahead. The group sees a hill where the snow ends. Yang proceeds forward to drive them up the hill. At the top of the hill, the group sees a walled city in the distance along the ocean.

Yang: *smiling* Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived in Argus.
