/Canon Start!!!! Yay!!!/

"Alright Qrow, I said I'd accept the offer but not wait forever to meet the guy." Calm down Ash, people are staring at you now. "Yah? Well it's not my fault I'm stuck here till whoever this person is decides for us to meet." You don't have to yell... and seriously stop your talking to yourself.

Oh....right. I look around deciding to walk around Vale while getting strange and alert looks. Well I'm walking around in a ripped and tattered grey cloak with the hood up and a 'weird folded stick' as someone said on my back. The curved sword of the blade, I stared calling the sword part Bloody Moon since the full scythe is the Burial Blade, was also in its sheath safely and still getting eyeballed.

     I look up to the sky seeing the moon and stars. "Wow, it's gotten late. How long have I been walking?" Obviously a while wolfie. "Shut up...me. Seriously I need to stop talking to myself." I spot a dust shop still opened. It looks like it's got some other things inside. I walk over to go in when some goons in suits are led in by a guy with a cane and bowler hat. "Hmm how will this go down. Worst case they try and rob the store." I say resting a hand on Bloody Moon's hilt.

     "Wait, who are you?" I say to myself spotting a person in a red hood at the back. She, I know it's a she from the small frame and dress, was looking through a magazine with headphones on. A goon starts to bug her. "How will you handle this." I say as my ears twitch a bit. They sometimes do that when I'm curious, I don't know why either. Then the girl flys into the guy going through the window... that I'm looking through... god dam-

    *Crash* and so I jump to the side as glass shattered around me and the guy roles and lays flat on the ground in front of me. "Ugghhh" I poke him twice as he looks to me. "Bad night huh? Well you should have stayed home buddy." "Wha- Wait Wait Wait Wait!" He starts to say as I kick his head knocking him out.

     Looking back at the window I see where the red blur went. What stands there is... silver eyes, black hair with red highlights, and a giant scythe pointed towards the shop. "Okaaay, get her." The leader I guess says as the other goons charges her. They must be idiots because...well they charged head on and now they are on the floor. All except one.

    The guy stands up behind her pointing his gun, she is completely unaware of this though. Seriously? Man back in Vacuo watching your back became nature. You had to develop a sort of sense for this kinda stuff or you'd end up dead as nails. Looks like I'll be stepping in now.

    He starts to pull the trigger as I travel through the shadows to slice the barrel off. They both stared as I stood, then I kicked him in the gut, causing him to topple over onto his knees. I punch him hard enough to send him a bit back. "Need a hand?" I ask looking back to the girl, tilting my head in curiosity. I keep the hood up to conceal my wolf ears, don't know what kind of person she is yet so for all accounts I'm human till proven Faunus. "Sure. Thanks for the save. I'm Ruby." She says as we face the shop.

  Cane guy steps through the window. Wait I've seen that face, Roman Torchwick. A crime leader who's been on a dust theft rampage as of late. Well this helps, the bounty for him alive can deal with my Lien problem. "You were worth every cent truly you were. Well Red, Grey, I believe we can agree that this was an eventful evening. But I'm afraid that this" He lifts his cane and the bottom pops up becoming a sight "has to end." And he fired at us. She shoots herself up and I pull up my Bloody Moon cutting the fire work in half.

After the smoke settled Torchiwck was gone. Looking to the right we can plainly see he was climbing a ladder. Ruby asks the shopkeeper if he'd be alright while we went after Roman. So I give chase while Ruby just speeds past. That obviously has to be her semblance. As I'm climbing the ladder the building shacks with an explosion. As I look over the edge there stands a huntress making the Bullhead retreat.

"Well that was...eventful." I say. "Your a huntress." The women looks to Ruby who has this fan girl look. "Can I have your autograph!"

So... being stuck here is fun. "Your actions have consciences young kids. You could have hurt someone or yourself. If it was up to me you'd be home with a pat on the back, and a slap on the wrist."

She slams her riding crop down, scaring Ruby but getting no reaction from me. This is such a plain interrogation. "Never the less, someone's here to see you."

And in walked a man with an elegant cane in a green scarf, a dress suit, glasses, and with light grey hair. He looks at Ruby almost as if he was studying here. "Ruby Rose. You have silver eyes." He sets a plate down with cookies and a scroll playing what we did just a bit ago. Ruby almost instantly starts to eat the cookies while I sniff it a bit to check if it's safe. These are all habits I've had since Vacuo and they've kept me alive to this point.

"So, where did you learn to do this." He says pointing to the Scroll video. After checking all possible tricks and finding it safe I take a bite of the cookie. It's good that's for sure. "At signal academy." She says as she takes more cookies. "It's just that there's only two others, one I know and one I've seen who can use a scythe like that. A dusty old Qrow and a young Phantom."

"Oh thatsh mah unkle Qruo!" Then she finishes and swallows the cookies and speaks English. "Ah sorry. That's my uncle Qrow, I used to be complete garbage before he took me under his wing. Now I'm all hya!" And she makes karate sounds with hand motions. Cute. So Qrow is her uncle.

"And what would an adorable little girl such as yourself be doing at a school designed to train warriors."

"Well... I want to be a huntress." "You want to fight monsters."

I tune them out. I haven't looked over the room yet. That is until they finish up and he gets to me. "And we address you. The second I've only seen in videos as I mentioned. The Phantom Reaper."

I smirk and wave. "That's me. How may I help you guy."

He chuckles at my actions and looks me over. "Orphaned Faunus in Vacuo at a very young age, taken in by a retired huntsman with your "brother" and trained to fight in an arena for your survival till one of the bosses turned on you. Then this led to Kane Rosan and Rivio Rosan's death as well as the main head of The Arena. Finally Qrow found you and trained you, and you recently got your revenge. Is that right Ash Rosan?"

I look around. Alarm bells going off everywhere and they were loud. "Well yah, you could say that. Though I don't like complete strangers knowing everything about me and I know nothing about them. Especially since you divulged all that info about me to little miss Ruby here." Who by the way is looking at me with shock in her eyes. "Uncle Qrow trained you to?"

"Well you did accept my offer to a school if I recall. It's my job to know about my students." Ahh I see. "So your Ozpin. Took you long enough."
