5 men are seen walking towards a dust shop named From Dust Till Dawn they walk into the store spreading around the store. While the man in the bowler hat walks towards the elderly store owner.

Roman: Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Dust shop open this late?

One of the henchmen points his gun at the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper: (raising his hands) P-please! Just take my Lien and leave!

Roman: Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, calm down, we're not here for your money. (to the henchmen) Grab the Dust.

A henchman opens a case and removes one of several cylinders, which the group uses to take Dust from the tube containers on the walls.

Henchman 1: (placing another open case on the display to the shopkeeper) Crystals. Burn. Uncut.

The shopkeeper proceeds to fill the case. As another henchman goes for another tube, he hears the muted This Will Be the Day song from the girl's direction, and unsheathes his sword.

Henchman 2: (pointing his sword at her back) Alright kid, put your hands where I can see 'em. (no response) Hey, I said hands in the air! You got a death wish or something!?

He goes over to her and turns her around, the hood dropping to reveal a surprised Ruby Rose wearing headphones. He motions for her to lower them.

Ruby: Yes?

Henchman 2: I said, put your hands in the air, now!

Ruby: Are you... robbing me?

Henchman 2: Yes!

Ruby: Ooohhh...

While all this commotion was going on a man covered in a torn up cloak and with a drag bag on his back started to make his way towards a nearby fire escape. He heard the commotion coming from the dust shop heading towards the top of the building that had a view of the entire street. He had seen the men walking into the dust store and knew that it wouldn't end well since they looked so out of place. He ended up calling the authorities but wanted a better vantage point if things got extra nasty.

(Y/N): *sigh* I can't ever get a moment to myself. I just wanted to go take a nap but I guess I'll leave that for later.

Peeking over the edge Y/N opened his drag bag to reveal a sniper rifle he picked it up and held it up in his hands, he gazed at it for a couple of seconds until he heard one of the henchmen crash through the window of the store.

(Y/N): Well time to go to work.

Y/N pulled back the sniper bolt and loaded in a magazine that was filled with rubber bullets

(Y/N): Don't need to kill anyone...not yet at least.

After loading in the magazine Y/N cocked the bolt loading in a round, he sat down Indian style and deployed the bipod onto the ledge and looked down the scope.

Ruby rushed out of the shop fighting off the henchmen but while she was distracted a henchman aimed and was prepared to shoot, but you picked him off before he was able to shoot hitting him on his temple knocking him out. Ruby and all the henchmen stopped for a second wondering what happened. Good for you that one second was all you needed. Time "slowed" down and you shot 2 more bullets and connecting with the henchmen's heads. Ruby looked around for who helped her. Y/N stood up and gave a thumbs up and she gave a confused face until she saw you and gave a smile and a thumbs up.

(Y/N): That smile was pretty cute, but anyways time to move on, it seems like Little Red has the rest handled.

As Y/N unloaded the gun a bullhead flew over his head hovering over the building Little Red and then the guy with the bowler hat made their way towards. Y/N ran towards the edge of the building he was on and started to make his way down the side of the building. As he made it to the top of the ladder peering over to where the confrontation was going on he saw Mr.Bowler Hat shoot at Little Reds feet causing an explosion, the explosion was stopped by a woman with blonde hair and a purple cape, Y/N made his way over towards Ruby standing next to her.

(Y/N): Seems like you caught a small break there didn't you Little Red?

Ruby: Names Ruby not Little Red by the way...thanks for the help earlier.

(Y/N): No problem.

Ruby: So I didn't catch your name?

(Y/N): It's-

Y/n was interrupted by a woman who could only be assumed to be a huntress as she launched an attack on the bullhead inflicting some damage, she also summoned what to be an ice storm that rained some icicles onto the bullhead. Everything was going fine and dandy until a woman with black hair and a red dress started to fire back, literally. She started to shoot fire out of her hands which the Huntress took care of perfectly protecting herself and Little Red.

(Y/N): Oh shit, oh shit, come on this is my favorite cloak!

Y/N yelled out as he was trying to put out his cloak that caught fire due to some embers. As Y/N continued to fiddle with his cloak the huntress continued to battle with the fire-wielding bastard that messes with cloaks, the bullhead had started to escape causing Little Red to fire upon it. Unfortunately, the cloak hater started to incinerate the bullets as they made contact with her hands. She launched one final attack causing multiple streams of fire to spew out of the ground. Little Red was pushed out of the way by the Huntress as she herself did a flip to get out of the way.

(Y/N): Finally, it took a while to calm down the flames on my cloak...OH COME ON!

Y/N was blasted by the flames again barely dodging them. The bullhead then started to take its leave.

(Y/N): Oh no your not leaving after doing all that to my beautiful cloak.

Glynda: It's over they're gone, they're to far just let them go.

(Y/N): If you think like that, of course, everything is too far.

Glynda: I'm just stating the facts it's impossible to hit it now.

Y/N ignored her and focused on the escaping bullhead it was just him and the bullhead. Then...BANG. Ruby and Glynda looked towards the escaping bullhead a full 4 seconds had passed. Then the bullet made contact and caused the bullhead to lose control for a little bit until it regained control. Ruby and Glydias faces were full of disbelief that Y/N had made that shot.

Glynda: How did you do tha...and he's gone.

Ruby: You're a Huntress! Can I have your autograph?!

Glynda: Alright young lady you're coming with me.

Glynda had picked up Ruby by her cloak and took her to the Academy. While Y/N watched from an adjacent building.
