Knight King x Ruby Rose RWBY

Gathering Those Willing to Fight

(Y/n) POV

I am with Oscar/Ozpin trying to convince James Ironwood to join our fight and it's not going great.

James: I didn't think I needed to repeat myself but why would I risk my people's safety for a plan that more than likely not even work?

Ozpin: And maybe you aren't hearing me James. We finally have a plan to take down Salem once and for all and you can help put an end to it. You are letting past events corrupt your judgment.

James: I'm sorry Ozpin, but I am not giving any more Atlas lives towards your cause.

(Y/n): It is our cause now! We both know how powerful Salem is and you can help even the playing field.

James: Tell me. Why should we go to the aid of those who did not come to ours? What do we owe Bigge?

(Y/n): I cannot speak for past kings, but Salem is the only thing that truly threatens the world if she takes us out, who do you think she'll come for next?

James: We will not help you. *ends call*

Qrow: Heh, he really grows on you doesn't he?

Oscar: James is scared but he's too stubborn to admit it.

(Y/n): I just hope the others are having better luck.

Ruby POV

Ruby: *talking on scroll* Alright, thank you. Yeah, see you soon friend. *turns off scroll and talks to others* Ok, Penny said she's-

Ruby/Yang: Combat ready. *laughs*

Yang: Penny never loses her charm. Anyways, I got in touch with every student that went to Beacon as well as teachers and they all agreed to come. Oh Ruby, I also talked with dad and he said he was good for a fight too.

Ruby: It'll be good to see him and Zwei again.

Blake: I got in touch with my dad as well and he said he could have himself and soldiers here within the week. I also gave, *sigh* Sun a call and he said he'd bring his team with him.

Yang: Oh boy, things will get lively around here in the next few weeks.

Weiss: I got in contact with the Schnee Dust Company, and since I have temporary ownership, I was able to have every bit of reserve dust sent here. We'll need all the firepower we can get.

Ruby: Good thinking BFF! *raises hand for high five*

Weiss: *sigh* Fine. *high fives Ruby*

Ruby: *GASP* YES!

Just then (Y/n), Oscar and Uncle Qrow walk in with less than thrilled expressions.

Yang: Why so down you three?

(Y/n): Ironwood, refused to help. We won't be getting any air support from Atlas.

Weiss: What?! What did my sister say?

Oscar: She wasn't part of the conversation. Ironwood is just scared about our chances.

Ruby: I know it seems like a hopeless endeavor but we finally have a chance and we need to take it. This is will be the fight of our lives but together we will see it done.

Qrow: Heh, when did you start growing up so fast? *rubs Ruby's head*

Over the next few days (Y/n) gets his army ready and makes sure the kingdom will be safe in his absence. We don't actually get to spend a lot of time together other than at dinner, so I just opt to give him a good luck kiss everytime we pass eachother. Over the next three weeks everyone we called have arrived and we got that dust shipment that Weiss comissioned. We are all conversing and catching up in the lobby of the castle, when I hear a familiar-
