RWBY LawBreakers AU Chapter 1

W.O.L.F. Artificial Intelligence initialized, previous chapter analysis: Prologue
Six months ago, The Shift, a cataclysmic event that shook Remnant occurred. It all started when a giant meteor crashed into the moon and sent a few chunks of it straight to the planet's atmosphere. As time went on, the Huntsman Academies were disbanded, peacekeeping organizations took their place and Breakers rose from the shadows. Team RYNR of the Silver Dragons went to ambush the Resurgence at Schnee Manor. However it failed, leaving the disappearance of Ruby Rose in its wake. She is still missing to this day.
END TRANSMISSION

Atlas Coast
09:25 Atlas Time
185 days since The Shift

An iceberg floats on the ocean undisturbed. In it is a young girl, who was thought dead by the world. Suddenly, a helicopter flew over and picked it up with a claw, reeling it into the cargo bay.

Eternal Flame Headquarters
19:00 Mistral Time

The iceberg has fully melted freeing the teenager from its three month solitude in ice.
"Ugh." She groaned.
As she left the room she was in, she grabbed a cloth and covered her eye. Still feeling pain, she bumped into Cinder Fall.
"Where am I?" She asked.
"Welcome back, Ruby Rose." Cinder said.

Voice match, Cinder Fall
Before The Shift, Cinder Fall planned an attack on Beacon Academy. That all changed when it happened. The Fall Maiden's powers have come to her disposal and when she came to kill Ozpin, a concussive blast blew them apart. Once she saw his cane, Cinder knew what she didn't see coming. As the Atlesian Military surrounded her, she surrendered. After seeing the peacekeeping organization, the Silver Dragons, in action, she answered the call to fight for what's right. Leading an all out attack against Salem, she became a war hero along with the peacekeeping organizations. She then founded one of her own, the Eternal Fire, along with two of it's best agents, Pyrrha Nikos and Penny Polendina, she now knows that with great power comes great responsibility.

"What? What are you talking about?" Ruby questioned.
"We found you. You were floating in the Atlas coast." Cinder answered.
Cinder gave her an eyepatch with her symbol on it. She took it and put it on. In a shock of amazement, Ruby can now act normal again.
"Wow, now everything's better without me holding my eye!" She exclaimed.
"Agreed. Now come, I want to show you something." Cinder acknowledged.
The two walked into a laboratory where the greatest minds of Remnant work together. One group of scientists is working on Grimm mutations on humans and Faunuses alike, and another on new types of Dust after The Shift. But the group Ruby and Cinder are walking towards is working on a super soldier serum, turns out, it was Ruby's old professors at Beacon!
"Port, status update." Cinder inquired.
"You see… wait is that Ruby?" Asked Prof. Port
"Yes." Ruby responded, "But-"
"We all thought you're dead! The Silver Dragons, the Resurgence, everyone!" Prof. Oobleck interrupted.
"Is everyone I know going to notice me that they thought I was dead?" Ruby hypothesized.
"It's preferable, but you'll get used to it." Cinder stated.
"As I was saying, we have a sample of the serum before it was stolen by Ms. Belladonna." Port responded.
"Wait, Blake was here?" Ruby questioned.
"She breached the room a while back and stole it as well as the recipe. Luckily for us, we have a sample left." Prof. Goodwitch responded.
"Good." Said Cinder. "Because we have that, Ruby will return to active duty."
"And have a wardrobe change. Nobody likes to wear the same clothes for six months." Added Ruby.
She stripped off her clothes and puts on a tank top and shorts. As she headed to the room she was once in, she lays down on where the iceberg that held her melted. A robot carrying the active serum in a syringe in it's hand came over to her. As it injected the serum into Ruby's body, it subdues her. However, it awakened something no other human or Faunus has, a superpower. As she screams, a bright blinding light shines through the entire building. Cinder saw this, and as she ran as fast as she can. She went to the laboratory, the scientists were confused why she is here.
"Do not go into a blinding light, you may lose an eye!" She cautioned.
As Ruby got up, she was confused of what she did.
"What the hell happened?" She asked herself.
She saw the robot that gave her the serum and picked it up. As it's system's rebooted, it headed to the break room and she followed. In the break room, there is a package for her. She came to the table and as she opened the box she saw a letter from her uncle, Qrow Brawnwen.

Dear Ruby,
Sorry I haven't got in touch with you due to the civil war bullshit between you and Schnee. But if you have, I have lung cancer. Must've been too many drinks for me. Anyway, as an undercover agent of the Skywatchers, I have got in touch with an old friend of yours, the leader of the Black Wing, Blake. She has been working with Torchwick and found Adam Taurus, who has been running for his life the past few months. Turns out, he's her new lab rat. She has been testing a new type of Dust found in Vale, near Beacon. A Dust so powerful, it can blast through anything. It's called Atom Dust and is really dangerous. To combat this, I have made you a new outfit, mixed a few of your outfit traits with a hand me down from my sister, Raven. Also, I got you the latest Scouter, the Allistar Eagle, which has heat vision, night vision, built in radar, comm system and MP3 player. I won that in a bet with Ghira. Also, say hello to your new weapon, Thanatos' Rose, it's your old Crescent Rose but on steroids, and by that, I mean lasers. Yes, it shoots lasers and it's blades are lasers. Enjoy your new toys kiddo.

My apologies,
Uncle Qrow

"Uncle Qrow, you lucky son of a bitch." Ruby responded.
Ruby puts on her new clothes and takes out her new gadgets. As she walks of the break room, she sees Cinder amazed by her new gadgets and weapons.
"Time to go home." She smiled.
Cinder nodded her head yes and they headed to the landing bay. They enter a jet and as they prepare to take off, Ruby looks at the Eternal Fire headquarters one last time.
"I'm sure gonna miss it here." She said with a tear in her eye.
As the plane takes off, both Ruby and Cinder fall asleep.

Patch
00:34 Vale time
186 days since The Shift

Ruby wakes up to hear the jet land on the runway. As it pulls into the hangar she walks outside of it to see the clear sky full of stars. Cinder walks out of it as well, as she does so, she met with the convoy driver.
"Greetings, Ms. Fall." The driver greeted.
"We need a place to stay for the night." She said.
"I know a place, my dad's house! It's eight miles from here." Ruby broke in.
"Hm, sounds like a good place. Family, free breakfast, even free wi-fi!" The driver agreed.
Cinder nods her head. The three enter the convoy and drive off to Taiyang's house.
Minutes later, they arrive and Ruby knocks on the door. As Taiyang opens the door, he sees her daughter.
"Ruby, you've returned! Also, nice digs." He cheered.
"Greetings Mr. Xiao Long, we are looking for a place to stay for the night." Cinder informed.
"As an ally to her, you can come in as well, Ms. Fall." He replied.
The three enter the house and sleep for the night.

New Vale City
10:44 Vale time

After breakfast and some time with her dad, Ruby left to reunite with the Silver Dragons. As the ship flies over New Vale City, she sees the sights of the rebuilding city.
"The view is outstanding." She smiled.
"I agree, the beauty of technology is a marvelous art." Cinder responded.
Meanwhile at the Silver Dragons Headquarters, adjacent to the historic Beacon Academy, Yang approaches the main computer.
"W.O.L.F., what are today's news topics?" She asked.
"There are many, Miss Xiao Long." W.O.L.F., the AI on the computer, answered. "In sports, Coco Adel became the Remnant StrikeForce women's lightweight champion, defeating Scarlet Widow in three and a half minutes in the first round. In bizarre news, the recipe for a super soldier serum that was stolen by Black Wing leader, Blake Belladonna, was found in a Simple Wok stand in Vacuo. Sources say no one knows who left it there. The shop manager has mailed the recipe back to the Eternal Fire."
"How long since Ruby was MIA?" She interrupted.
"It has been one hundred sixty-eight days since Ruby Rose AKA Deadshot was missing." It responded.
"W.O.L.F., stop the clock!" A voice hollered.
"Correction: it has been zero days since Ruby Rose AKA Deadshot was missing." It corrected.
Yang turned around to see who said that. It was her sister Ruby! She ran and hugged her long lost sister.
"I've missed you so much! I thought that I have failed to save you." Yang happily cried.
"It is good to have you back, Ruby." W.O.L.F. reckoned.
"Thank you guys." Ruby responded.
Ruby walks around the headquarters to see her teammates. She sees a room with a sign hanging on that read No Metal. She opened the door and saw Nora inside, looking through her picture book.
"Don't come any closer." She yelled.
"Nora… it's me. Ruby." Ruby avowed.
Nora closed the book and looked around. She saw Ruby in the doorway and gasped.
"I thought you were dead! Must've been Yang's ice powers that saved you." Nora inquired.
"That's true. Yang must've been a wiz with those powers of hers." Ruby agreed.
Nora then ran and hugged her.
"We were worried about you so much!" She cheered.
"Not again." Ruby grumbled.
She then lets go of Ruby, so that she can get some fresh air after being squeezed by her.
"What part of 'we' are you talking about, you, Yang and Ren?" Ruby questioned.
"No silly, me, Yang, Ren, Terrance and Phillip!" Nora awnsered.
"Who are they, your new pets? If so, are they friendly with Zwei?" Ruby continued.
"Actually, they are my biceps!" Nora stated as she showed them off.
"Always a show off, aren't you Nora?" Asked Ren who was in the doorway.
"Ren!" Ruby beamed as she runs and hugged him
Ren hugs her back and the three exit Nora's quarters. They walked across the hallway to meet up with Yang. Yang has recently sent Weiss an email with a
"Gotta say, what's up with you guys?" Ruby questioned.
"While you were gone, our old ship got hijacked by Winter and she's using it now for transporting supplies like Dust." Ren responded.
"But we have one of the best hotshot pilots now!" Nora added.
"Really, who is it?" Ruby asked.
"Jaune Arc!" Nora stated.
"Pilot of the Blazing Squid? Yeah, that's me!" Jaune declared.

Voice match, Jaune Arc AKA "Cowboy"
After The Shift, Jaune partnered up with current Eternal Fire agent Pyrrha Nikos to enhance his combat skills. What he lacks in strength and speed, he makes it up in willpower. He retired Crocea Mors in favor of two different handguns, Heaven, a semi automatic pistol, and Hell, a energy pistol that fires the recently discovered Atom Dust. He is a great pilot as well, flying the most dangerous airship in Remnant, the Blazing Squid.

"Wait, you're one of us now?" Ruby asked puzzled.
"Yep, it's official!" Yang interrupted. "New recruit aside, I returned to my rock climbing career by climbing the top of Mount Glenn."
"I went to see my master, Louis. He was right about you returning ." Ren added.
"I surpassed my record as well as ate it, now I deadlift 711!" Nora interjected.
"Wow, looks like you guys did some wild shit when I was gone." Ruby responded.
"That's true, I learned to draw with the help of Yang." W.O.L.F. continued as it showed a picture of a poorly drawn pegasus.
"But what about Ironwood?" She questioned.
The room falls silent on what Ruby asked. Yang walked up to her and frowned.
"Ironwood is dead. Weiss's sister, Winter, killed him." She sighed.
"Ironwood… is dead?" Ruby gasped.
"Yeah, had to fill his shoes for the past few months." Yang finished.
Ruby walked away from the group. She entered Ironwood's office which is downright empty. She saw the picture of her and the rest of team RWBY together. She picked it up and took it with her. She walked back to her quarters and put the picture on her nightstand. She bowed her head and sat on her bed, thinking on how to get revenge on Weiss. As Yang entered the room, she sat next to her.
"Ruby, it's not too late to avenge him." She said.
"Those damn Resurgence bastards, they'll pay for this." Ruby grunted.

Silver Dragons Headquarters
16:56 Vale Time

As Ruby prepared for the upcoming mission, she stumbles upon an old shipment from Weiss pre-Shift. She opened it up and took out the Dust crystals that were in there. She then opened the ammo compartment in Thanatos' Rose and placed the crystals in there. Yang walks up to her and sees her new weapons.
"Looks like Uncle Qrow got you some upgrades." She complimented.
"You can say that again." Ruby responded.
"Okay boss, what's the plan?" Nora asked.
"Same as last time, but this time, it's for Ironwood." Ruby replied with a smile on her face.
"But will it go the same as last time?" Ren dared.
"We'll find out, Ren." Yang awnsered.
As the members of Strike Team RYNJR enter the Blazing Squid, W.O.L.F. explained the plan.
"Alright team, listen up. This is not a practice run. This is for real. Ruby, you will head towards the West Wing and confront Weiss."
"Roger." Ruby approved.
"Yang, Nora, you need to find the location of the old ship."
"Affirmative." Yang agreed.
"Ren, find the computer that controls the drones and destroy it.
"Right behind ya." Ren acknowledged.
"Jaune and I will protect the ship." It finished.
"You can count on me." Jaune declared.
"Excellent, let's roll out." It replied.
Jaune walks up to the cockpit of the ship and as he sits down in the pilot's chair, he starts it up. As the Blazing Squid begin to power up, Ruby and her team are ready for round two.
"Buckle up buckaroos, next stop: Schnee Manor!" Jaune announced.
Then, the jet takes off of the runway and heads towards Atlas.
