Along came a WhiteRose

Chapter 8-Wrapping up a problem

(One year later)

Atop of Amity arena the battle of a thousand lifetimes ensued. It had started several hours ago, a swarm of different types of grimm surrounded the airspace as well as on the top of the arena. There's a loud roar of a grimm before being cut in half by crescent rose being wielded by the youngest huntress of her generation Ruby Rose she quickly turned her weapon to sniper mode before taking out three grimm surrounding the former heiress of S.D.C Weiss Schnee but she saw her as her girlfriend.

Weiss turned her head to see the girl she loved pointing her weapon at the now fallen grimm "Thank me later!" Ruby shouted before rushing past her leaving a trail of rose petals but not before leaving a quick kiss on the ivory haired girl's cheek, Weiss blushed before focusing on the battle at hand killing two more Grimm with a single slash with her rapier Myrtenaster. Every single ally team RWBY knew was there which included team JNR, CFVY, SSSN, FNKI and the ace ops along with Qrow, Winter, General Ironwood, Penny and Oscar doing their best to save the new CCT tower before it could be destroyed by the onslaught of Grimm ruining months of work.

As the battle continued there's a loud screech grabbing the attention of everyone there, they to where the sound originated from and saw Salem with her followers "Now this is an interesting sight the only people in the world to know of my existence all in one place" Salem chuckled while holding up her hand telling her followers to stay "But I'm feeling generous and I'll let you live in my new world if you hand over Ruby Rose" the entire group looked at each other before Weiss spoke "That's never going to happen" she then walked towards Ruby and held her hand intertwining her fingers with hers and raised her weapon to Salem the rest of the group joined them and pointed their weapons at her.

Salem chuckled and smiled evilly "I always enjoyed the killing of hunters" Salem then formed at sword made of Grimm bones in her hand before two groups charged at each other each of them taking on one of Salem's followers with team JNR along with Oscar going for Hazel, the ace ops and Qrow going for Tyrian, Yang and Blake going after Emerald and Mercury, Ironwood and Penny going after Dr Watts and Weiss and Winter going after Cinder where as the others went for the grimm that surrounded the area. Ruby went straight for Salem quickly getting behind her using her semblance and taking a quick slice at her back before turning Crescent rose to it's sniper form and taking a shot at her head which Salem deflected it back at her, Ruby dodged the projectile before turning Crescent rose back into scythe mode and slashing at the immortal being which was being blocked and parried.

Ruby's and Salem's battle continued for several minutes until Salem broke the silence between them "This is futile! What do you hope to achieve from this" Ruby looked at Weiss seeing her and Winter fight against Cinder and seemed to come out on top she then sped to her when getting there she shot Cinder sending her backwards "Weiss I need an ice barrier in between me and Salem!" Without question she did so, Ruby kissed Weiss on the cheek once again before speeding to the barrier and closing her eyes.

Ruby thought back on her life, on her friends and family she saw images flash in her mind of both her friends and family till she was outside Beacon reliving a memory outside her body she looked around before she heard a familiar cold voice "What are you doing!" she turned around and saw younger Weiss and herself in the moment they met "sorry!" younger Ruby said picking up one of the cases she fell on "sorry?! Do you realise what you could have done" young Weiss responded while snatching the case from Ruby, opening it and removing one of the dust vials from inside "This is dust mind and purified from the Schnee quarry!" older Ruby smiled at the scene before closing her eyes and then opened them again as Salem broke through the barrier then the entire world went white.

As the world went back to normal the entire group turned to the direction of Salem to see her turned to stone then to ashes Salem's followers quickly surrendered apart from Cinder who lunged at Ruby but before she could do anything she is then decapitated by Jaune "That's for Pyrrha you son of a bitch". Without a second's hesitation the entire group started to celebrate as the ashes of fallen grimm filled the area.

Weiss looked at Ruby after hugging her sister and friends. She was still standing there looking at Salem's ashes. She rushed to Ruby as she collapsed to her knees "RUBY!" she screamed as she grabbed hold of her before she could hit the ground "I'm fine, I'm fine just a little light headed and drained" Weiss held her tighter before speaking again "Did your hair get longer?" Ruby ran her hand through her hair which went several inches below her shoulders "That's new" Ruby retorted, they both chuckled before Weiss stood up trying to help Ruby up "Wait, wait I need to do something" Ruby said in a weak voice.

Ruby moved her leg up to show that she was on one knee she then held one of Weiss' hands before speaking "Weiss Schnee you have been the greatest thing in my life, I've only recently looked back at my life and could not see a single moment where you were not there and on top of all that you still love me for all my faults" she then pulled out a small navy blue box and opened it to reveal a silver ring with a red and blue jewel on "Weiss Schnee will you marry me?" Ruby asked.

Weiss looked at her with tears streaming down her face "Yes! yes of course!" she then fell to her knees letting Ruby slide the ring on her finger before kissing her. As they separated Weiss realized that Ruby had passed out. She let out a small sigh then picked up her fiancé bridal style making Yang worried and rushed over to them "What happened?!" Weiss looked at her with a smile "We just got engaged" she said while showing her the ring and then moved towards the others.

(One week after the battle)

Ruby opens her eyes in panic, she sits up violently looking around and noticed she was in a hospital and beside her sat in a chair fast asleep was Weiss holding her hand she then laid back on the bed and sighed "We won" Ruby said while chuckling, the nurse then came in "Hey good to see you awake, can you tell me your name?" Ruby raised an eyebrow before answering "It's Ruby, Ruby Rose" the nurse smiled at her before continuing "And do you know who she is?" she asked while pointing to Weiss who was gently snoring in the seat beside the bed "I only ask because she hasn't left your side the entire time you've been here".

Ruby chuckled and squeezed Weiss' hand "She's my fiancé" after she said that Weiss began to wake up and looked at Ruby "Morning petal, maybe today you'll-" she looked at the smiling Ruby who waved at her "Morning snowflake" Weiss started to cry and lept on to her "Your awake!" Ruby hugged her crying fiancé tightly "How long was it out for?" Ruby asked not letting go of Weiss "About a week" Yang answered from the door with Blake behind her "Love the new hair" Blake said entering the room.

The nurse exited the room as Yang and Blake hugged Ruby she then looked at Blake questionly "What do you mean 'love the new hair?'" Blake looked at Yang "You mean you haven't seen it?" Yang asks with an eyebrow raised "I only just woke up!" Weiss let go of Ruby and passed her a mirror, Ruby then felt the hair noticing it had gotten longer "I look just like mom" she said tearing up a bit "I like it" Weiss said out loud trying to reassure her "I didn't say I didn't like it I'm just making an observation" Ruby said wiping a tear away and smiling at her friends and fiance.

Weiss chuckled again "Well now that your awake we can start planning our wedding" Weiss said out loud pulling out a large binder and placing it on the bed "I started a bit while you were asleep but I want to get your opinion on everything" Weiss continued while smile at Ruby "Like what?" Ruby asked with a raised eyebrow "I'm glad you asked" Weiss then started to get into the details "Were just going to leave you two at it" Blake said snickering while Yang made a whip sound as they exited the room. Ruby began to listen to her fiancé going into detail about their wedding which Ruby smiled at the thought.
