RWBY: Male!Reader x Ruby Rose

Vol. 4 Ep. 1 - The Next Step

It was night on the cold desolate frozen wasteland of the Kingdom of Vale, a woman with white hair and an incredibly pale skin, wearing a robe seemingly made out of pure snow, is seen gliding up to the old CCT Tower. She stares at the frozen desolated ruins of what used to be an Academy for Huntsmen and Huntresses. Beacon.

???: Such power. Even though it was only a portion.

Cold smoke started to billow from the woman's robes as she started to raise her hands, snow, ice and frosts alike started to rise up from the ruins and up on the night sky. All the snow around the Kingdom were gathered in the sky in the form of her . With a blast of beam from her hand, the insignia exploded into a million pieces of ice crystals. The woman frowned as if regretting to do what she just did as Grimm of all sorts started to inhabit the Academy and the whole kingdom.

???: It's better this way.

It was all she said as her body was covered in a swirl of snow flurry and dissipated with it.

Meanwhile.......

In a dark and desolate land made up of red ground, purple crystals, and a red and black clouded sky, Grimm of all kind are seen rising from a black pool of goo. Mercury and Emerald's face are reflected in a window, watching from inside a high building. Emerald has her hand to her mouth while Mercury seems slightly disgusted. Mercury and Emerald retreated from the window as soon as they heard the snap of a finger.

At the center the large windowed room is a long purple, crystal table. Four people sit at the table with seven chairs. One of them is Cinder.

A man with a short black and gray hair, wearing a gray overcoat with yellow linings, a yellow dress shirt and a black necktie is sitting across from Cinder, looking at his Scroll.

To Cinder's right is a somewhat psychotic man dressed in a white sleeveless jacket with leather belts strapped to it. He sits in a crouch casually on his chair, resting his arms on his knees.

Across from is another man, a large and muscular, with short brown hair, a beard and hazel eyes. His arms are crossed, and he looks asleep.

Cinder sits quietly, while Mercury and Emerald move to her side. Emerald nudges Mercury out of her way so that she can be directly next to Cinder.

Man with Gray Hair: Yes, yes, keep your posse in check.

Mercury grunts and makes a move towards the man, but Emerald holds him back.

Man with Gray Hair: You hear that? Silence.

Hazel gives Watts an unimpressed sideways glance.

Man with Gray Hair: I've half a mind to thank the little girl that bested you.

Psychotic man: If I were you, I'd hunt her down. Find her and, well, she took your eye, didn't she?

Cinder only stares at the psychotic man while he cackles at her. Cinder tries to speak but only manages to make quiet exhaling noises. Emerald leans in to hear her.

Man with Gray Hair: Pathetic. Why did you even—

There is then a sound of a heavy metal door being unlatched. The doors open and everyone stands just before a woman dressed in a long black dress enters, followed by a girl in her late teens, dressed completely in a long dark cloak, her hair and face partially covered by the hood, her high-heeled boots thumping against the floor. The woman glides alongside the table with soft footsteps before reaching the head of it, jewels jangling from her hair. Salem stops, facing away from them and toward a candle and crystal display, with the girl stopping and standing beside the purplish crystal throne.
