Ruby Rose - Epilogue; The return
As soon as she went through the portal, everything went dark for her, she lost track of time and even where she was, but when she awoke in a bed that was soft... And comfy... And she was in her pajamas, opening her eyes she realized... She was back at beacon Academy! It was almost as if none of what she remembered happening had happened, but, she knew deep down that it did. Though she was actually rather excited about seeing her friends again!
Life at beacon Academy returned to relative normality with crazy shennanigans her fellow teammates got into and the missions they were sent on at times, whenever she could, she kept in contact with Jennifer VIA the communications device she had recieved. She made sure to paint a red rose symbol on it so she wouldn't mistake it for something else, passing it off as some new belt "swag" she had acquired somewhere which seemed to satisfy the curiousity of anyone who asked.
Soon enough though, things started to heat up a bit as the previous breach, despite being sealed off posed a new problem when Grimm started to seep through it once more, so team RWBY decided to take care of it themselves seeing as it was one of the missions on the board this time around, a simple "clear the Grimm" mission, but one that Ruby wanted to take on just for old times sake as she put it.
When they arrived, it seemed there were much more Grimm creatures than they initially expected, but this did little to discourage the already pumped up Ruby Rose "Alright, let's do this! Go team RWBY!" Ruby yelled before leading their charge, launching herself forwards with the help of her trusty Crescent Rose with the rest of her team following suit in perfect synchronization. "Just like old times..." Ruby thought with a confident smile on her face as she raised her scythe, preparing to cut her first target; a Beo-wolf in half.

"Every nightmare just discloses
It's your blood that's red like roses,
And no matter what I do,
Nothing ever takes the place of you."
...
"Red like roses
fills my head with dreams and finds me.
Always closer,
to the emptiness and sadness,
that has come to take the place of you."

Somewhere In An Alternate Universe
A familiar scene is present here, a graveyard, empty, eerily silent, and a chilling wind blowing through it every now and then, but, if one were to look closely, they could see a sad looking woman huddled beside a particular grave, there was a folded up envelope, held in place by a sturdy looking rock.
Suddenly, the eerie silence was interrupted by the faint sounds of a rock style song, footsteps could be heard, coming from the trees in the forest beyond the graveyard, it was growing louder and louder as the source drew closer. To the woman's surprise when she looked up, she found a strange looking girl wearing dark clothing and a distinct red cloak, she was holding a large looking scythe and had some red and black headphones around her neck. The girl stopped when she drew close, suddenly turning off the headphones, clearly the source of the music with a distinct *clicking sound*. Looking up at the woman with curiousity, she spoke "Oh! Who are you?" she asked innocently.
