The Petals Scatter

The sun rises as I slowly sit up realizing I'm in my own bed. How is this possible? I don't remember going home or anything. Pushing back the covers I slowly stand up, walking over to my bedroom door I hear a faint voice behind the door. After sliding it open one person catches my eye.

"Y-Yuuta." Tears fill my eyes.

"Oh your awake," Yuuta said in a calm manner, "I made you some yakizakana."

I quickly wrap my arms around Yuuta crying.

"Yuuta who is this girl wrapped around you?" A voice that sounded a little to familiar spoke out. I let go of Yuuta and slowly turn my head to where the voice cake from. A girl who looks exactly like me stands before me. How is this possible?

"I think her name is Megumin." Yuuta said look at the girl who looks like me. The girl walks up to me looking directly in my eyes.

"This girl is being a bitch." Once she calls me a bitch the floor open behind me. When I look back at her she pushes me into the hole. I quickly sit up realizing that it was all just a dream. If I ever see Megumin again I need to make it up to her otherwise this is gonna haunt me for a very long time.

Ruby's POV:

After the portal closed I was a bit upset to see Rikka go, after all she was a pretty good friend. Finally because of Rikka, Remnant is back to being a peaceful place, well at least that's what I had hoped. When Salem was defeated a crack where the portal that Rikka, Yuuta, and Sanae left formed. Obviously from the looks of a floating crack it's probably not a good thing. I walked up the the crack reaching my hand out to see what would happen.

"Ruby!" Yang yelled. I looked back at Yang.

"If we don't figure out what this thing does we could wind up dead, and I don't know about you but I refuse to stand by and do nothing." I looked back at the crack and put my hand closer. lighting started to jolt into my hand, but it didn't hurt it felt more like a tiny shock from shuffling your feet on the ground to much. When I pull my hand away another crack starts to form. Soon enough the cracks turn into a black hole. The force in which the black hole had was so to powerful I couldn't even use my semblance to escape.

"Hold on everyone!" I yelled as I slammed Crescent Rose into the ground.

"Ruby! Help!" Blake screamed as she was pulled into the black hole. Blake was the followed by Weiss, then Yang, and finally me. I failed Mom. I couldn't keep Remnant safe. I'm sorry.

I slowly sit up noticing I'm in a different environment. Standing up I look around to see building that look very similar to Remnant. Out of the corner of my eye someone that I know is walking in my direction. Jolting up I smile and run up to him.

"Yuuta Togashi!" I said happily.

"Ruby? How did you get here?" He asked. I quickly explained to him what had happened in Remnant. After Explaining I scoped the area to see if I could find Rikka.

"Uh where's Rikka?" I questioned. When I asked this question Yuuta started to tear up.

"She passed away from a bullet to the heart." My heart dropped as I fell to my knees.

"W-What?" I started to tear up. Rikka had spent close to 6 months in Remnant. Within that time we became extremely close. When Yang was kidnapped, Rikka, helped me stay strong. Rikka was one of the best friends I could ever ask for. I wipe my eyes and stand up.

"Who shot her?" I ask Yuuta.

"We aren't sure just yet," Yuuta started, "but we've been trying to find out who."

My fists clench tight.

"I find the killer myself." I sped off checking around the entire city in mere seconds. I'm not gonna let some jerk with a gun kill Rikka.

After searching the city for the 6th time I decided it was time to give up. Landing infront of Yuuta I look at him about to say something, but someone caught my eye. The figure looked like a man but was wearing a cloak so I could see who it was. Then I noticed something about this person that led me to believe who it was. The person in the cloak started walking to us slowly.

"Stand back you creep or face the wrath of my explosion." A voice came from behind me. A girl wearing a red dress and a hat with some for of face on it. Is this girl from another world too?

"Oh but I only want to chat." A scorpion tail slowly appeared from the person's back. My eyes widened a bit as I stepped back.

"Tyrian." He laughed and threw off his cloak.

"Very observant Ms. Rose." He laughed again. I reached for Crescent Rose, but was stabbed through the chest by the tip of his tail. I looked at him and smirked.

"That all ya got?" The hologram disappear as I slashed of his entire tail. Tyrian screamed bloody murder as he dashed at me with his arm blades. I gripped Crescent Rose tight flinging it behind me. Pulling the trigger I propelled myself forward. Tyrian swung his arm directly toward my chest, but when I try to move out of the way he slashes my side leaving a gouge. I swing Crescent Rose around aimed at Tyrian's throat, he quickly holds up his blades blocking the strike.

"I know your tricks you bitch!" Tyrian growls.

"Not all of them." I quickly step to the side.

"Be enveloped in the flames of darkness and disappear!" Yuuta sends a blast of dark energy knocking Tyrian down. Yuuta holds his hand above Tyrian with a dark essence emanating from it, but when Tyrian started laughing I got an unsettling feeling. Just then the sky started growing dark and I don't think I can prepare myself for whatever is coming.
