RWBY: Royal Remnant || Volume: 1 || A RWBY/Final Fantasy XV Crossover

Chapter III. Ruby Rose

Ruby Rose
Welp! This wasn't how I expected my evening to be. Here I was; a sixteen-year-old taking her time out of Signal to come to Vale and wish her big sister a goodbye as she was leaving for Beacon Academy. You see, my older sister Yang was accepted into the hunters academy - Beacon Academy near Vale and my dad and Uncle Qrow allowed me to leave Signal for a little while and stay with Yang to wish her goodbyes.

But yet when I was at that Dust shop - From Dust Till Dawn, reading the latest weapons magazine, I tried to prevent a robbery from that Roman Torchwick guy, until I was saved by two guys; one was blonde with blue eyes and freckles, and the other with black messy hair and crystalline blue eyes. The black-haired boy saved me from getting shot by one of Torchwick's goons, and the other stopped more from coming towards us with his revolver. I couldn't help but really admire their weapons - the black-haired boy held a large sword that was part sword, and part engine like a car engine, and the blonde-haired boy had a silver six-shot revolver that fired swiftly. And what amazes me was that they could summon their weapons out of thin air, while I couldn't which I was really jealous of. But it was still amazing, powerful, mysterious, and I could go on forever but I still can't help but admire their weapons. I didn't know them, but there was a lot of power around the black-haired boy, and he looked so familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it.
Anyways... We were taken into the interrogation room and I was stripped of Crescent Rose as we were taken in, and I was seated besides the black-haired boy who sat besides the blonde-haired boy. We sat in silence for a few minutes as one of the policemen had told us to wait and left the room. Seconds had passed in silence and I broke the silence. "Hey... I'm Ruby. Ruby Rose" I introduced myself as I raised a hand out for a shake. The blonde boy responded with a shake and a smile and replied "I'm Prompto. Prompto Argentum." Prompto let go and I offered my hand to the black-haired boy. Despite being an awesome fighter, he really wasn't emotional. He shook my hand and replied "Noctis."
Noctis... Noctis... NOCTIS! I knew that name sounded familiar, and he looked familiar! "Wait...! Noctis? Are you the Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum? Son of King Regis and future king of Insomnia?"
"Uh... yeah. I-I guess" he raised a brow.
I-I... I couldn't believe it... Here I was, in an interrogation room... With the PRINCE OF LUCIS!!! No way this really happening! "OHMYGODI'MSOHONOUREDTOMEETYOUI'MSORRYIDIDN'TRECOGNIZEYOUIHADNOIDEAYOUWERETHEPRINCEI'MSOGLADI'MMEETINGTHEPRINCE!" I screamed out of my mind. I couldn't help it, it was really exciting! I was sitting... With the prince of Lucis... PRINCE NOCTIS! "Woah, it's okay. Chill" he stopped me in my excited outburst. "I'm honoured that you know me and respect me, but I don't like going by 'Prince' that often. It's okay if you're honoured to meet me but please..." "Oh, sorry" I sadly said as I calmed down to his remark. I didn't mean to get hyperactive, it just felt like an honour. However, I saw a calming and warming look in his eyes, and said "It's okay, I know you were just excited. I'm okay with that." I smiled slightly as I stared into his crystalline blue eyes, "t-thanks."
"It was glad to meet you by the way" he spoke as we shook hands. "You too."

Just then, the interrogation room door opened, and in came the huntress who had intervened us earlier during our fight with Roman. She had a negative look upon seeing us, as she held her scroll in one hand, and slammed the door with the other, making me wince back. She paced back in forth across from the table with an angry look, and yelled "I hope you three have realized that your actions will not be taken lightly! You have put yourselves and others in great danger."
"They started it" I exclaimed in response in self-defence, hoping to reason. "I don't care WHO started it! What gives you all the right to take action in this deadly and dangerous matters when authorities could handle it?!"
"We couldn't just sit around and let them get away with it! We had to do something y'know" Prompto replied, as he leaned back with arms crossed, making me doubt she would be tolerant of that. "Maybe so, but what of you young man?" She pointed at Noctis besides me, "what would your father think if he had known you were either killed or injured?! Don't think I don't know who you are Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum, and royal or not, your actions will not be taken so lightly either, by me or your father." Jeez, this woman really doesn't take this thing lightly, even if he is royalty. Couldn't Noctis just bail himself out of jail if he's rich and royal? Noctis just lied back and sighed, saying "my dad told me that I should always walk tall and protect people in time of need. I couldn't just sit around and let Roman get away with it. I'm a prince, and I'm responsible for my actions and others' well-being." The woman stopped as she looked down at the young prince with a sigh, "maybe so, but don't think that will excuse you from your actions. And if it were up to me, you'd be sent home. With a pat on the back..." I smiled upon that supportive comment, but she returned her glare with her riding crop in her empty hand. "...And a slap on the wrist!" She instantly smacked her riding crop straight down on the surface of the table, making me, Prompto, and Noctis to retract back with a yelp of the sudden alarming motion. We have recovered from the action, and Prompto worryingly asked "a-are we in trouble ma'am?"
"Yes, I would say you are Mr. Argentum. However... There is someone who would like to see you." I raised a brow curiously, as then she moved out of the way for a man who had entered the room as well, holding a mug of coffee in one hand, and a plate of chocolate chip cookies in the other. He had silver hair, brown eyes, complex skin, and a pair of glasses, along with a green, black, and velvet attire. The symbol on his mug was familiar to me; the crossed axes and laurel leaves - Beacon Academy's symbol, and it became very clear who this guy was. "Ruby Rose... You..." He paused for a moment as he examined me up close in silence, before concluding "have silver eyes." "U-umm..." I stammered to the response, before he took a look to the prince besides me with a surprised look in his eyes. "And... Noctis? Dear lord what are you doing here? This is no place for a prince." I eyes Noctis with a wondering look, 'how did he know him' I wondered. "I was just about to ask you the same thing. But I got caught helping to stop the robbery. I tried telling them that everything was alright and I was trying to handle it, but they wouldn't have it. So I'm stuck here for a while." The man had sipped his coffee and grinned in impressment.
"Well, worry not young prince, your friends'll be here soon to bail you out. In the meantime you'll have to stay here. If that is alright with you."
Noctis shrugged and sat back in his seat. "Alright. I won't mind"
