A Strange New World (RWBY x Male Reader)

The Breach

Things were far from perfect for Ruby and it was just a gentle way of putting it. After switching over with Yang when it came to the watch duty and going to sleep to get some rest for tommorow, she was woken up from her sleep by Zwei. Her pet rushed out of the camp shortly after and Ruby tiredly followed him, not wanting her pet to get lost in Mountain Glenn and making sure to be as quiet as possible as she didn't want to wake up her team and Y/N.

Upon finding Zwei, her ears caught the sound of someone having a conversation in the distance as she immediately knew there must have been something wrong with it as she, her team, Y/N and Oobleck were supposed to be the only people in Mountain Glenn right now. She quietly made her way towards the source of the conversation and her eyes caught the sight of the two White Fang members who were walking further into Mountain Glenn.

Making sure to stay as quiet as she could, she began to follow them and managed to find their base of operations in this city. Unfortunely it was when her luck ran out as her scroll turned out to have no signal when she pulled it out and tried to contact everyone. Knowing she had to hurry, she put her scroll aside and started to make her way back to the rest, intending to inform them about her recent discovery of the White Fang being in Mountain Glenn as quickly as possible.

She never made it to them, though as the ground broke apart underneath her feet. She managed to stop Zwei and her weapon from falling down into the hole but unfortunely she wasn't as fortunate them and fell down into the hole. After finding herself in the hole, she discovered an entire underground city there and her luck just got worse from there as she was discovered by the White Fang members as she explored the abandoned underground city further.

As the two White Fang members grabbed her by her arms and began dragging her towards their leader, she allowed herself to take a good look around her to get to know her situation better and saw the White Fang members loading crates into a train, using both manpower and Atlesian Paladins to do so. Upon reaching one of the train carts, a member of the White Fang named Perry called out for his boss and Torchwick's voice replied to his calling, revealing himself to be in charge of the White Fang members in this underground city.

"Wow! You are much more manageable without that oversized gardening tool of yours." Torchwick taunted Ruby, tossing her across the floor as he laughed. Ruby got up and charged at Roman. Roman dodged her possible attack by stepped to the side, sending Ruby stumbling across the floor, "Oh man. You know, Perry, I really did need this." Perry gave him a thumbs up in agreement as Torchwick laughed again and stepped closer to Ruby, aiming his cane at her, "But seriously. How'd you find this place, Red?"

Ruby groaned at him, using her semblance to dash off as Torchwick looked around himself, letting out a suprised noise and looked around himself, setting his eyes on Ruby who was running away from him at a fast pace. Torchwick simply turned his cane around and fired the hook of the cane at her, catching her in her hood. She was then dragged by the hook back to Torchwick.

"I see you've got some tricks up your sleeve! Let me make this clear. We're not through here yet." Torchwick smiled at Ruby, looking down at her as soon as she was dragged back to him by the hook of his cane. It was when a massive explosion echoed across the area, causing Torchwick to look up in the direction of it, "Oh, what the... Perry, if you and the boys could take care of that? Kinda in the middle of something."

Perry nodded at him, pushing himself into walk in the direction of the explosion. He never made it there, though as he stopped in his tracks as one more explosion took place. As Torchwick voiced his desire to learn what was happening right now, a third explosion occured not too far from him and the rest and multiple White Fang members came running around the corner, some firing at an unknown enemy.
