Perseus ( RWBY fanfiction)

Chapter 4: pvp

Ruby walked into her room on the command frigate.

It was a nice room, and rather large as well. It was mostly a metallic white, with a grey trim near the bottom. Her bed was a very neatly made twin bed. It was nothing too fancy, just pure white metal. The side of the bed was pushed against the far wall in the center. On the right wall, just above Ruby's desk/workspace, in a glass case, mounted onto her desk, was the original Crescent Rose.

While, most of her room was neat, her workspace was a mess. Screws and scraps of metal were spread out over blueprints, covering them. Her actual desk was U-shaped, the blueprints on one side, and three monitors on the other. Underneath the desk was the actual desktop. Beside the keyboard was a plug-in game controller, because, while she worked for the military, she was still a fifteen year old girl who liked video games. Just beside her desk was a case to store her armor. The case slid into the wall in case of an attack.

On the other side of the room was an entertainment center with a couch. Because, again, she was still a fifteen year old girl.

She walked over to the case and stepped in. She turned, facing outwards. The suit spun, and the back opened, allowing her to step out. Underneath the suit, Ruby wore camo cargo pants, beige combat boots, and a plain grey T-shirt that read; "Perseus." Her hair was now a bit longer than it had been at Beacon, but was still uneven in its usual hairstyle. She had a large scar running over her right eye, but not actually touching the eye. She had a smaller scar on her upper lip. She had another one on her chin, running up almost horizontally to her bottom lip.

Ruby moved over to her workspace, having grabbed the helmet from the case, and began to work on fixing it.

Later on, in the singles round, the day after Yang's.. "Incident with Mercury," Ruby was assigned to represent Atlas. Ironwood told her that it would show people that the Atlesian Military was not to be messed with. Ruby would have preferred that Penny do it, but Ironwood insisted, and Penny backed him up.

"Next up," Port said over the speakers, "Is Perseus from Atlas...! Versus! Pyrrha Nikos from Beacon!"

Ruby stepped into the arena, facing her opponent. "There will not be much left of you, when I'm done." She threatened. Pyrrha ignored it. While, this chick looked pretty scary, it might just be a compensation.

"Ready!" Oobleck yelled through the speakers. Pyrrha readied her weapon, while Ruby did nothing, standing nonchalantly. "Fight!" With her cue heard, Ruby activated her stealth mode. "This is going to be an interesting fight." Port said.

After moving further away from her target, Ruby deactivated stealth and fired at Pyrrha with her Blaster. Pyrrha blocked it with Akouo, and flew back five feet, dropping her weapons.

Pyrrha brought herself to her feet. Now, instead of Perseus, she saw Ruby, swinging Crescent Rose right at her. Pyrrha used her semblance, and launched the scythe away from her.

Perseus flew away, laughing, as Pyrrha scrambled to her feet. She suddenly swiped her hand, and Ruby's prosthetic arm was ripped out of its socket, sending wires and sparks everywhere.

Now enraged, Ruby charged at Pyrrha, kicking the redhead's chin, using her semblance masking boots to increase her speed. Pyrrha's aura immediately went into the red, but Ruby didn't stop.

She sprinted towards Pyrrha, who was now falling back to the ground, and kicked her, sending her flying into the force field that separated the audience from the arena. Ruby caught Pyrrha by the throat just before she hit the ground, using her human arm.

"She's going to kill her." Jaune realized.

The Atlesian bots rushed in, receiving the desperate order to stop the fight, but immediately shut down. Pyrrha stared where she assumed Perseus' eyes were, even with her face covered, Pyrrha could tell that the Atlesian hated her.

Perseus' shield extended just in time to stop a sword from taking her other, flesh, arm off. "Let her go!" Jaune commanded.

"Why?" Perseus asked in her echoing, intimidating voice. Despite not getting an answer, she dropped Pyrrha anyway, and walked off.

Ruby picked up her dismembered arm just as a woman took control of the speakers.

"Schnee's." She said, "Atlas' pride and joy. It's disgraceful. Schnee's can get away with anything. Including attempted murder." Weiss tried to ignore the way Blake glanced at her. "Weiss Schnee. Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company... Murdered someone. And what was the lie that she told? 'The Grimm got her'." Blake was now staring daggers into Weiss. "If the public file of this person's death is anything to go by, Schnee should have at least been charged with desertion." The transmission cut out. Everyone in the restaurant was now staring at Weiss.

"She's lying!" Weiss claimed. She looked at Blake, "You know I wouldn't do such a thing?" Blake nodded.

"I know that. Ruby was a friend." She said.

Ruby pushed her arm back into its socket, and it connected. She swiveled the shoulder, making sure it wasn't damaged. "Perseus!" Ironwood's voice shot into her ear. "Apprehend Weiss Schnee at all costs. And do not— I repeat do not let her get off Beacon's Campus." He told her.

"Yes sir." She said, purposely saying it loud enough for Jaune and Pyrrha to hear. "Schnee will be in my custody within the hour. If not, I'll bring you her head."

Ruby dashed towards the edge of the colosseum. She jumped into the audience, running up the stairs, she flipped over the fence, soaring down to Beacon below.
