Ruby walked around an empty space
A faint sound of metal clanging could be heard
Blacksmith: I've been expecting you miss rose
Ruby: you were.....
Blacksmith: I have and for a good reason
Ruby: why am I here
Blacksmith: that's a great question
The black smith looks back at Ruby
Blacksmith: why are you here
Ruby: I..... I don't know..... I just felt like I was good back there
Blacksmith: not good enough you say
Ruby: I guess
Blacksmith: follow me
Ruby and the blacksmith walk further
A few lights pass above there heads
Ruby: what are those
Blacksmith: souls finding themselves once again
A few lights go to another area
Ruby: where are those going
Blacksmith: those find purpose in other worlds
Ruby stops
Blacksmith: something the matter
Ruby: this feels very weird, is something going to happen to me
Blacksmith: whatever happens is what you want to happen
Ruby: I don't know what I want
Blacksmith: what are you
Ruby:.......
The area fills with cases of weapons
Ruby: what are these
Blacksmith: people
Ruby: are they....
Blacksmith: they are here in spirit and they will come back to life once you choose a new one
Ruby: choose and new..... life
Blacksmith: so to speak
Ruby: these people all choose new lives
Blacksmith: they have
Ruby looks at all the cases and keeps looking around for a while
Ruby: why does it feel so hard to choose
Blacksmith: it will feel better soon
Ruby keeps looking at them then stops at a weapon
She runs over to it and taps the glass
Ruby: mom.....
A vision passes through Ruby's mind
Ruby: what was.... That
Blacksmith: it was a past memory
Ruby: her..... she..... raven..... why
Blacksmith: what people do for other they do for reason
Ruby: what reason do that give her to abandon everything, that's not huntress like
Blacksmith: it's hero like
Ruby: hero like?
Blacksmith: give up everything for a better tomorrow
Ruby looks back at the weapon and start to tear up
Blacksmith: you can choose if you like
She slams her fist on the case
Ruby: a hero protections people like she did, she knew what she wanted and it helped
A red glow burns bright behind Ruby
Ruby: huntress are hero's, but hero's.....
Blacksmith: save people with a smile on their face
Ruby goes toward the red glow, she look at it
It was her weapon
Ruby: I maybe a huntress but she was a hero
All the cases go away and they move a bit to the left
Ruby: I want to be hero like her
The blacksmith smiles and snaps her fingers
Blacksmith: challenge accepted
Ruby eyes close and wakes up falling
She sees her weapon in front of her and she reaches to grab it
The void around her start to decay
She looks around in fear then out of no where a blue flame comes out and almost gets her
???: THANK YOU FOR LIVING LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THIS DAY
A world forms but feels incomplete
It then fades after a second
She see a concrete wall and goes through it
She see another thing
A man with blue hair comes up to a beast
???: These are no longer necessary!!!
It fades away
It turns dark once again but black whips come out and almost hit her
She see a man fighting with a black aura
It fades
She see a huge monster and a man with a small girl at his back
???: SHE IS MINE!!!!
The monster was about raised hit fist and hit Ruby
Untill it fades
She grabs her weapon and lands on the ground
She opens her eyes and looks around
Ruby: where am I
They sky was dark and the moon wasn't in pieces
Ruby: what the hell
She looks into a puddle and see her eyes glowing
Ruby: ok this is weird am I......... back in atlas...... no this doesn't feel like atlas..... I need to find yang
She activates her semblance and travels around
After looking for a bit she finds nothing
Ruby: why can't I find them
she gets on top of a building and looks out
Ruby: holy.....
She saw a massive city
Ruby: this.... Isn't remnant
She goes down to the ground and decides to call on her scroll
The scroll doesn't turn on
Ruby: come on
She sit on a bench and tap the scroll
Ruby: Come on!
She taps it to much and the screen breaks
Ruby: no, no no no no!!!
She throws it at a nearby statute
She looks over at the statue and has a confused look on her face
Ruby: I am here?
She looks at the statue for longer
Ruby: number 1 hero
She goes back down and sit on the bench
Ruby: I really screwed up haven't I
She start to tear up
???: is something the matter dear
She look over seeing a skinny man with a yellow suit
???: odd seeing a girl your age all alone at night
Ruby got scared
She tried to take out crescent rose but she didn't have it
???: is something the matter
Ruby: look I don't have any money
???: money...... I don't want your money
Ruby: then what do you want
???: nothing I was just coming to see if your ok
Ruby: I'm fine
???: I can tell your not
Ruby: I'm lost....... without my family or friends
???: do you know where they went
Ruby: no I remember I was in a tree saw some flashy stuff then I was here
The man looked at her confused
???: I...... see
Ruby: I messed up really bad
???: why do you say that
Ruby: I wanted to be someone different, then I saw my mom and she was a hero so
???: you wanted to be a hero
Ruby: a huntress
???: never heard that used before
Ruby: well I fight monsters and people at time so it the same thing basically
???: interesting
Ruby's stomach rumbled
???: do you have a place to stay
Ruby: oh uh no....
???: how old are you
Ruby: 15
???: a high school student
Ruby: yeah, but I've camped out in the woods before..... but that was with my friends so uh...
???: what is your quirk
She looked confused
Ruby: qurik?
???: as in you ability what is it
Ruby: I can turn into a cluster of roses and move fast
???: interesting, may I see it
Ruby: what
???: your quirk
She gets up and dashes turning into rose petals
???: oh wow
She makes it back
Ruby: thats about it
???: pretty useful quirk
Ruby: it nothing to big
???: due to your age and you not having anywhere to stay I may have an idea
Ruby: like what
???: state laws say that people up to age 16 can choose whether or not they want to go to school
Ruby: school.... I'm going to school
???: if you want if you don't want to that's fine
Ruby: I.....uuuhhhmmm
???: let me put it this way, you go to school there are people there that will help you out, if you don't your basically on your own I'll help of course but I'm pretty much going to the school as well
Ruby covered her face with her hood trying not to show her tears
Ruby's mind: what do I do, I want yo find yang, or anyone, I want help I need help, but I don't know if I can trust him
A gust of wind knocks rubys hood back
She looks over the man's shoulder and see a white silhouette with white petals coming from
Red like roses starts playing

Ruby: mom......
???: hmm
The white silhouette disappears
Ruby: what's your name
???: I am the number one hero in Japan
Ruby: number one
She looks back at the statue
???: my name is Toshinori Yagi but my hero name is all might
Ruby: all might?
he puffs up
Indeed
Ruby face turns to shock
He turns back to normal
Ruby looks down
All might: so you would join the school
Ruby: yeah something is telling me to join I don't know why but.....
All might: but what?
Ruby: what type of school is it?
All might: UA is a school for upcoming hero's it's the best in Japan for hero training
Ruby: I see
All might: in about a month our students will be taken a license exam so they can be certified hero's
Ruby: oh that sounds good
All might: so if you do join I myself will teach you and get you ready for that exam, I'll offer you a spot in class 1-A
He takes out note pad
All might: I'll write down the address for you so you can go
He rips the page and gives it to her
Ruby: thanks
All might: you also you don't have a place so I'll let you sleep in the teachers lounge for now and in the morning I'll let you decide if you want to join or not
Ruby: I'll take the teacher lounge
They start to walk a bit
All might: got a phone
Ruby: well..... not at the moment
All might takes out his phone and give it to her
Ruby: wait what!
All might: I'm getting a new phone either way
Ruby: I don't want to leave you without a phone
All might: I'll figure it out
They keep walking untill they make it to the U.A. gate
Ruby: this place is huge
All might: it's been her for a couple years so it had some upgrades
She looks over and see a few buildings in the distance
All might: those are dorms, if or when you decide to join UA you will be stay there
Ruby looks on
All might there is also a gym, an arena, mind field, cafeteria and more
Ruby: this place is almost as big as beacon
All might: beacon? Was that your old school
He opens the front door for her
Ruby: yeah beacon academy, the palace in the sky
All might: I heard about a school in America that was in the sky
Ruby: America?
All might: the other continent
Ruby: oh.... Right
They walk up the stairs and into the teaches lounge
All might: that couch right there turns into a futon, blanket are in the laundry area which is right down the hallway, on the other side you will find the changing room and the showers
Ruby: oh
All might: if you get hungry you can make some coffee or there is some milk there, as well as cookies and chips
She smiles as he says cookies
All might: alright I must get going now if you need anything call the numbers on the whiteboard
She looks over and see number of midnight, sniper, eraser head, nezu, and more
All might: before I go I didn't quite catch your name
Ruby: oh it's ruby, Ruby rose
All might: alright, now one final question
Ruby: what is it
All might: if you do become a hero then what hero do you want to be
Ruby: well uh.... A hero who saves people
All might: with what
She remembers what the blacksmith says
Ruby: ha, with a smile
All might face lit up
All might: that is a good answer
They both got up and went there separate ways
ruby goes to the shower
She looks around for any clothes and find some forgotten gym clothes
She takes her shower and goes back into the changing room to get dressed
She heard a voice
Yang: Ruby!!
She turns around but see no one
Ruby goes to the laundry room and gets a blanket and some pillows
Back inside the lounge she unfolds the futon and lays down
She knows she stuck there and has nothing
Ruby turns on her side
Ruby: a hero would be a nice roll to play
She start to drift to sleep
