Volume 1 Episode 6: The Badge and the Burden

Weiss Schnee is sleeping when suddenly Ruby Rose approaches her and starts blowing a whistle next to her ear. Weiss wakes up and takes the whistle from Ruby's hand.

Weiss: (Annoyed) Do you think this is funny? I should take this whistle and shove it up your ass!

Ruby: I'm sorry. I thought it would be nice to wake up early so we could take breakfast together, unpack and clean our room.

Weiss: (Sigh) It's your fault that I'm still tired. Yang and I had to stay awake until midnight to convince Ozpin and everybody else not to kill you for that stupid pun you made last night.

Ruby: Sorry.

Weiss: Anyway, let's get started.

Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang unpack and start ordering the room. After they finish the room is still a mess, there's not enough space.

Weiss: This is not going to work.

Yang: Maybe we should ditch some stuff.

Blake: We could ditch your sister, I don't want her near my things.

Ruby: We could, or we could ditch the beds and replace them with… bunkbeds!

Weiss: Well, I'd like to keep Ruby here so I can torture her whenever I'm bored.

Yang: I said I would punch your face every morning if we ended up in the same team, I won't be able to do so if you're not here.

Blake: Well, we should put it to a vote.

Ruby: I think we just did.

Ruby, Weiss and Yang thumb up, Blake thumbs down. They put Ruby's bed on top of Weiss' bed, hanging from the ceiling. Blake's bed is on the other side of the room. Yang's bed is above Blake's bed, on top of four piles of books, one on top of each of Blake's bed posts.

Ruby: Done! Now our second order of business is… classes. At nine o'clock we have…

Weiss: Nine o'clock? That's in five minutes!

Ruby: Oh no, we're going to be late!

Yang: Don't worry, I know a shortcut.

Yang blinks at Blake. Blake opens the window.

Ruby: Really? What is it?

Yang: Let me show you…

Yang grabs Ruby and throws her out the window. Ruby falls to the ground and her aura gets depleted. She manages to stand up but she can barely walk and falls on her knees after a couple steps. Her teammates pass by her side running to class.

Ruby: (Crawling) Wait! Don't leave me!

Weiss, Blake and Yang ignore Ruby. Ruby crawls under a tree. She sits under the tree while crying until her aura is restored and she's able to walk again.

An elder teacher is giving a lesson about the different kinds of grimm creatures that live in Remnant when someone knocks at the door.

Port: Get in!

Ruby opens the door and gets into the classroom.

Ruby: I'm sorry. (Looks at her teammates) I fell asleep.

Port: Ruby Rose, you interrupted my lesson, the least you could do is kneeling before your classmates and apologizing to them for your interruption.

Ruby: Yes sir.

Ruby gets in front of her classmates and kneels before them.

Ruby: I'm sorry everyone, I swear this won't happen again. Please forgive me.

Port: Nice. You can stand up now.

Ruby: Shall I take a seat?

Port: That won't be necessary. (Turns towards the class) Alright everyone, now it's time for a practical lesson. As huntsmen and huntresses (Blinks at Yang) you'll find yourselves in situations when you won't be able to fight back. Maybe you have lost your weapon, maybe it got destroyed, maybe you lost a part of your body. Whatever the reason is, when this happens you should be able to take a beating until your teammates come to your rescue, that's why Ruby has volunteered herself to put up an endurance demonstration. For this practical lesson young Ms. Rose will be blindfolded and handcuffed while she tries to survive the attack of a grimm creature.

Ruby: I'll do my best!

Port: You better do. You're a huntress in training now. I won't move a single finger to save you if you are about to die.

Ruby: Yes sir.

Port blindfolds and handcuffs Ruby. Ruby's classmates take pictures of her while she's like that. Professor Port uses his axe to open a cage. A Boarbatusk comes out of the cage and charges against Ruby, throwing her against the wall. Ruby stands up but the Boarbatusk rolls into a ball and spins against her, making her fall flat to the ground. Ruby's classmates take out their scrolls and start recording and taking pictures of the beating. After five minutes of being charged and thrown from one side to the other of the classroom while her classmates laugh at her, Ruby stands up and smiles.

Ruby: I'm fine! This is nothing compared with what I've been through!

Ruby's classmates start booing her and the Boarbatusk charges against her once more. This time Ruby falls in a bad position and only her aura saves her from breaking her neck and dying, but it gets depleted. Ruby notices this and starts crying in fear for her life.

Ruby: (Crying) Stop this please.

Port: Haha! I warned you young lady.

Ruby's blindfold starts getting wet with her tears as the Boarbatusk starts charging for the last time. Ruby's classmates start cheering the Boarbatusk and laughing at Ruby except for Weiss, who jumps between the Boarbatusk and Ruby, saving her life. Weiss blocks the Boarbatusk with a glyph and stabs it in the tummy. The Boarbatusk dies and everybody starts booing Weiss.

Weiss: Shut up!

Everybody shuts up.

Weiss: How can you laugh and be happy while a grimm is about to kill someone right in front of you? We are huntsmen and huntresses, our duty is to protect people from grimm, even if the person who is being attacked is Ruby Rose. I hate her, I hate her more than anything in this world, but I didn't come to Beacon for this, I came because I want to defend those who can't defend themselves, because I don't want to see people dying in front of me if I can prevent it. I came here because as a Schnee I want to…

The ring bells interrupting Weiss' speech. Everybody leaves and Port takes off Ruby's blindfold and handcuffs, then he approaches Weiss.

Port: Your attitude disappoints me Ms. Schnee. I want to talk with you later.

Port leaves. Weiss looks down at Ruby.

Ruby: Thank you Weiss, you saved me again.

Weiss: Shut up. I just did what was right.

Weiss leaves.

Professor Port is in the rooftop of Beacon when Weiss comes in.

Port: Why did you do that?

Weiss: I already said what I had to say.

Port: Do you think that because you're rich you are better than everybody else? That you can judge what is right and what is wrong?

Weiss: That's not true. Anybody could see that what was happening in that classroom is wrong.

Port: Listen to me young lady, the girl you just saved is Ruby Rose.

Weiss: I know, that doesn't make what I did any less right.

Port: Think about what you are doing Schnee. If you keep defending that girl, I can tell you, your stay at Beacon won't be very pleasant.

Weiss: Is that all?

Port: For now.

Weiss: Alright then.

Weiss leaves.

Ozpin comes across Ruby during her way back to the dorms.

Ozpin: I see you survived your first day of classes.

Ruby: Yes, but I almost die.

Ozpin: Too bad you didn't.

Ruby: Why do you say that? Why is everybody against me? I just want to be a hero, to save the weak and help the needed.

Ozpin: Sometimes bad things just happen.

Ruby: But this is not a coincidence. Why me? What did I do wrong?

Ozpin: Being born. Your very existence is your biggest sin.

Ozpin leaves.

Ruby: (To herself) I don't get it.

Ruby keeps following her way back to the dorms.

Ruby, Blake and Yang are asleep. Weiss wakes up Ruby.

Ruby: Weiss?

Weiss: (Whispering) Be quiet. I've been thinking about the first time we met. I stabbed you twice, that was wrong. I want to make up for that to you.

Weiss gets on top of Ruby.

Ruby: What are you going to do?

Weiss: Just be quiet and let me do my thing.

Weiss takes of Ruby's pajama top and starts kissing her in the neck.

Ruby: Weiss…

Weiss: What?

Ruby: Thank you. It's been years since the last time someone kissed me.

Weiss: Shut up. I still don't like you. I think you are stupid and disgusting.

Weiss French kisses Ruby.

Ruby: I love you.

Weiss: I hate you.

Weiss sneaks her hand under Ruby's pants. The camera moves to a shot of team RWBY's room window and Ruby starts moaning. Ruby moans get louder and louder as the scene slowly fades to black until Ruby lets out a pleasure scream.
