THE EMERALD HERO (rwby x link and zelda son male reader)

Finding An Ally In The Strangest Of Places

After a long day of killing Grimm and exploring Mountain Glenn, Ruby is using her weapon in the most practical fashion and lifting a whole turkey on the sharp end of her gun to tease a jumping and flipping Zwei with. That is, until she spots her teacher watching, quickly sheathing Crescent Rose.

Ruby "Sorry! Uh... Are we ready to keep going?"

Oobleck "Nope! I believe that will have to do for today. It's going to be dark soon. (Throws his bag over to Yang, who makes a sound when she catches it.) You three set up camp in that building. Oh, and please do make sure there are no more of those... creatures. Your leader and I are going to secure the perimeter. Come, Ruby"

They start walking away from the rest of RWBY, who each look at their leader, knowing what she'll be asked.

Ruby (As Oobleck and Ruby round the corner of a building, she sees something off-screen that makes her say) "Whaaaa... (The camera allows the audience to see the wide forest stretching below the ruin, and in the midst of it, a line of giant elephants with the black and white features of animals of darkness marching through the trees.) What is that? It looks awesome!"

Oobleck" That, my dear girl, is a Grimm"

Ruby (She stares at the lumbering mass of monsters in amazement and awe before pulling out her gun, saying) "Let's kill it."

Oobleck "I'm afraid your sniper rifle will do nothing more than agitate a Grimm of that size"

Ruby "But... What if it attacks us?"

Oobleck "Fret not, Ruby; those Goliaths are not concerned with us. Ruby, not every Grimm is mindless, or rather not every Grimm is still mindless. You see, the Grimm you see before you are so powerful, so superior to the Grimm you fought, that they've undoubtedly lived hundreds of years, and in that time between killing humans and attacking our borders, they have done one important thing: They've learned. They've learned that when they attack our borders, they're likely to die, and what we lack in strength, we make up for in will and that killing one human will only bring more"

As he says this, one Goliath swivels its thick neck to look at the figures watching their procession, eyes glowing as fiery red as any other Grimm.

Ruby "Then why are they still so close to the city? What are they doing?"

Oobleck "Waiting"

Ruby "waiting for what?"

(A/N "volume 3 of course")

Oobleck "they are waiting for a weakness"

As he says this, the Goliath turns its head forward again and moves on with its kin. Oobleck turns around and walks away as well, and Ruby puts away her weapon, not moving.

Ruby "Doctor Oobleck?"

Oobleck "Hmm?"

Ruby "I was wondering..."

Oobleck (Stops walking and turns back to her) "Wondering why I've been interrogating your teammates all day?"

Ruby "A-Actually, I was wondering... Why did you want to become a Huntsman?"

Oobleck " Look around and tell me what you see"

Ruby takes a look around.

Ruby "Lots of old buildings, uh, empty streets..."

Oobleck "I see lives that could have been saved. (Continues walking with Ruby beside him and Zwei at their heels) As a Huntsman, it is my job to protect the people, and although I am capable of doing it with traditional weaponry, I believe I can make a much larger impact if I do it with my mind. As a teacher, I'm able to take knowledge, the most powerful weapon of them all, and place it in the hands of every student that passes through my classroom. I look at this wasteland, and I see lives that could have been saved, but I also see an opportunity; an opportunity to study these ruins and learn from this tragedy and therefore become stronger. (Stops for his final answer) I am a Huntsman, Ruby because there is nothing else in this world I would rather be" (Continues walking)
