Description
It seems Emerald has a message for Ruby Rose.I haven't made an artwork in over a month thanks to sickness and weather. I do hope you all forgive me and thank you very much for the watchers and anyone else who has seen and liked my art so far. I'm trying to improve rest assured.

Yeah that be great to see. Maybe even give JNPR her shield and parts of her sword as well.

I want them to actually upgrade Jaune's sword with the pieces of Pyrrha's sword and also mold her shield with his shield to make like a golden white bastion Aegis of awesomeness.

All I have to say is amazing. I think that you also need to put in 2manybooks' dialogue (in your comments below) as well since his/her dialogue almost fits in with your picture. Keep up the good work!

Oh thank you so much TNO!. Yeah I first read that dialogue and I feel like Ruby was playing a bioware Karma points based game.

So, who else thinks she'll join the good guys only to get killed later (probably by Cinder)?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think so to. But if she's going to die, she won't die a villain

oh wow loving this a WHOLE lot^^ nice work doing this! Emerald is a cutie but she can't be forgiven for the wrong she's done up till now...even if she does feel remorse...
....after all the tragedies that happened in the festival was MOST caused by HER as much as Cinder (and Mercury was...having too much fun XD)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Much appreciated! ^_^ Emerald is like one of the top girls for me (other 2 being Coco and Glynda).
Oh I know she can't be forgiven, but she's also not evil. There is a method to everyone's madness
And I feel Emerald's madness doesn't fit Cinder or Salem's vision of an ideal world.
I honestly feel like she was brainwashed. Cause there isn't anything that the world did to Emerald for her
to be okay with killing innocent people.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you are most welcome and I truly hope you keep doing more stuff like that~
yeah she sure is a follower...it kinda looked like during the origin story she had no where to go and was a petty theif at first.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
It really is my hope they are gonna give Emerald the same treatment they gave Locus in Red Vs Blue by having her worldview change till she realizes what Cinder has turned her into and rightfully turns on her.
I want this mainly because they seem to be hinting at that near the end of volume, and it would certainly be a better utilization of the character than killing her off for the purpose of shock value.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is exactly what I want to happen.

Glad that is the case for most people.
Although if the next volume is set Mistral, then Team ABRN will probably play a role in the second Arc of this five part saga.

Looking forward to ABRN and FNKI in volume 4

Oh right cause Weiss is in Atlas, hopefully we see the damage the Military and SDC have done to Atlas.
Since it was brought to my attention that they literally own everything and stamp out small businesses.
So if we have learned anything from the Collapse of the USSR, it's that own everything will make the
economy pop and collapse.

I have been wondering if Emerald really did felt bad for all the pain and suffering she has done.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm betting she does regret a lot of it cause she probably never thought it would get this "Grimm". Emerlad may have thought this was just to rule a nation and not to cause so much unnecessary bloodshed.

but if anyones gonna die its gonna be blake by the end of the series. my reasons. she's a good character and her death will be the most impactful, she probably doesn't know what to do if they beat salem, I don't think she has any intensions on having children or getting married (maybe she'll end up with son in a childless marriage or she cant have kids), she'll die in bravery, showing that her last act was not in a cowardly way but in a heroic way, and she probably doesn't see herself in the future because she doesn't expect to live that long as a founus and huntress. plus the death of a team rwby remember is sure to be impactful. that's my opinion. emerald and mercury will just go alone or if yang finds it in her heart to forgive him, marry him and have a daughter so he could be a better farther than his dad was, or he dies on the battle field rather on the right or wrong side, emerald would just run away or commit herself to that atlas government; instead of stealing she can give hope, neo would be all alone, die, or *laugh smurk* work at an ice cream shop, cinder will be betrayed by salem, have her body taken over or thrown in jail, yang will travel round the world (or option 1), Weiss will be head of the atlas government, coco will own a fashion shop and design cloths but will still be a huntress, velvet will live in a quiet home, married with 3 children (maybe with that giant sword wielding guy or fox), son MAY MARRY BLAKE (if she's alive) or will move on, Neptune could marry Weiss and they have 2 kids, the eldest with blue hair and eyes, the youngest with white hair and yellow eyes, ren and nora have like 4 kids and it's him making pan cakes and nora is lifting her kids like dung bells with a T-shirt saying SUPER MOM with boop trousers and lighting wrist bands, iron wood retires, glynda is the principle of beacon, taiyang gives raven one more chance or they stay friends, carder (or whats his face) probably becomes a big shot or a loner.
why haven't I mentioned jaune or miss rose? wweeeelllllllll. I have 5
ruby goes off by herself, becoming a hero, being there where trouble needs sorting, or if anyone is causing trouble.
jaune gets a wife, has kids, names one of them pyrrha, and lives happily ever after.
but theres also this
ruby uses all her silver eyes energy to kill salem but tragically dies and is buried next to her mother, with blake (if ruby dies instead of her), she infuses the last parts of her crescent to her sword and scabbard, yang hold onto the last piece and or pieces of her cloak, and Weiss carries her emblem and gives it to her daughter she named ruby in memory of her.
jaune dies saving ruby, and dies like a hero at the last minute.
but heres my personal favourite one.
jaune and ruby develop feeling over the next volume and get together. after the battle with salem, jaune never got to tell ruby about that thing pretends to fall over and pops out a ring. after a moment of silence, ruby hesitates BUT INSTANTLY SAYS YES!!!, its ten years later and its ruby reading her daughters a story about 4 girls who saved the world from an evil sorceress. her daughters a named "Robin Summer Rose" and(take how you pronounce the J from jaune and take how you pronounce ENNY from JENNIE, and you get Jeaney)"Jeaney Pyrrha Nicos Arc" (jeaneys the eldest by two years like yang), and robin (based on robin hood; get it stories), wears the same hood ruby ounce wore as a kid, and jeaney looks more like jaune HENCE THE ARC NAME (I think that what ever family you closely relate to, your that family), then its ruby going to bed and by her night stand is that last picture of all her team, on the top right is her emblem, the top left is Weiss's hair band, the bottom right is blakes bow, and on the bottom left is yangs sun glasses. and its her (with long hair blake length, a permanent scar on from the top of her chest to the bottom of her stomach, and wearing an "its also a gun T-shirt", looking back at jaune, then to the picture going "good night guys", a tier falls, with her smiling one last time. then the credits role. the it ends with robin, at her grandmothers grave (at 17 years old) going off with her own team, with ruby smiling among the trees, saying "I'm here to see you bloom, I'm so proud of how strong, beautiful and big you've gotten since you were little. I love you robin, I'm always here, then flies off with her crescent rose slicing the screen, showing the ruby banner one, last, time.
but I would like to hear other opinions on how it would end. because on most of these, I could be wrong.
but I do think the 5 theory on those two could happen, they're too big major characters and they've know each other longer than any other character. ruby knew jaune longer than pyrrha, and they know each other longer because of the time skip, and we see a bit of development between them. but ruby does seem a bit of a "lone wolf" most of the time, so I could be wrong, but part of me hopes I'm right. plus a lot of ships are sinking lately.

if Ruby and Jaune ever become cannon I think RoosterTeeth would burn to the ground.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
each to their own. I respect your opinion, but he doesn't know anything about Weiss, pyrrha's gone, and unless they can bring back miss nico's, then I think jaune has to be by himself, a lone hero like ruby, ot turn over the other magnet and connect

Amazing piece, down to the details. I can just imagine the conversation:
Emerald: "That's everything, on that scroll. All the information on the White Fang, Cinder's networks, and the evil one, Salem, I could find or steal..."
Ruby: "This doesn't take back what you've done. You lied, to me and everyone. You lied, stole, and murdered to the whims of a madwoman. You framed my sister Yang, ruined her in front of the entire world. Between you and Adam, it's amazing she's still here. Penny was an android, but she was also a person, a young person with hopes and dreams, and my friend. You made Pyrrha kill her, and that probably played no small part in Pyrrha's decision to fight Cinder... You did all of this to make Grimm attack Vale and everyone. Everyone who died or got hurt to Grimm that day, and since, their blood is on your hands.
You did all of these monstrous things, and for what? Anger at society? Did any of the people who died at Vytal and since then ever do anything to directly hurt you? What did Yang, Penny and Pyrrha ever really do to you? Did you believe that Cinder would reward you? Did you ever once think that she saw you as only a disposable pawn? That if she didn't think she could use you, that you would have been only one more victim to her, dead or terrified in the world she was making? You've become a monster, worse than the Grimm, and all for a woman who slapped you down and told you to "know your place" like so many others... Are you proud of yourself?"
Emerald: (In tears): "No... I know... It's all true... I was wrong... So very wrong... Nothing can take back what I've done..."
Ruby: "Then why are you here?"
Emerald (still crying): "I felt I had to do something... something to stop their next step, what they plan to do next, and... I need to... to... to pay for what I've done...
Ruby: "Don't lie to me... I see through your mind tricks now..."
Emerald: "I know, and you know there are none... I'm done with playing minds... (Stops crying, slumps down, drops Aura) Kill me."
Ruby: "What?"
Emerald: "It's what I deserve, at the very least, for what I've done, and you know my sins as well as anyone... Just make use of what's on that scroll... Do it... I am a monster..."
Ruby Option A: "With pleasure." (Stabs Emerald in the gut repeatedly)
Ruby Option B: "It is what you deserve." (Kills Emerald with a single brutal stroke)
Ruby Option C: "You did some right, in the end..." (Kills Emerald quickly)
Ruby Option D: "Your crimes are unforgivable. You don't get off that easy. You're going to help me undo all you helped cause, like it or not. Get up."
Ruby Option E: "You've been a monster, but you can do something other than die. You could have been quite a Huntress, with your skills, and your death now doesn't really help the living or the dead. I don't absolve or forgive you, but you've done some good with this scroll, and you can do more. You can undo at least some small part of the evil you've done. It may take a lifetime to get there, and some things you've done, you can't repair, but you don't have to die a monster."
Sorry about the essay here. Got carried away. Great pieces like yours get me thinking and writing. I look forward to your future work.

you know, I think I would choose Ruby option E, cause I think emerald deserves a second chance to make up for all the terrible things that she has done in the past, granted it my take time for everyone to forgive her, but I'm sure they will in the future.

I absolutely love this idea. And knowing Ruby's pure and amazing heart, she will help Emerald redeem herself
This is like Good Karma evil Karma, Kill her and never know anything more than have revenge. Help her redeem herself and she can show you more things that will help with the fight against Salem.
Thank you very much for the feedback! ^_^ I will try to make more thought provoking artwork as well as more crossovers
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was indeed thinking of Good and Bad Karma/Paragon and Renegade/Light Side and Dark Side choices in RPGs when I wrote those. I agree, I don't see Ruby killing Emerald if Emerald realizes she's on the wrong side. Double agents, enemy spies that you turn to your side, are the most valuable of all spies, according to Sun Tzu.

You're doing great, with this piece and others. Best regards.

I very much appreciate it!
Yeah I actually want to make more of these thought provoking art once in a while to see what theories people come up with in the situation I envisioned it to be. Cause I probably will be as perplexed as everyone else.
A lot of RWBY is still hidden in legend so I'm pretty sure anything can happen at this point.

Be very comparable to Locus's character Arc from the Chorus Trilogy of RvB.

I can't (for the life of me) picture Ruby killing anyone, not even Cinder. Maybe Salem, but that's about it. I choose option D or E. If RT plans to do a Emerald face turn (turning to the good side) that is. They need to give her a good reason for leaving Cinder.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Agreed. The show did show Emerald both feeling pity for the victims of the Vytal Disaster and being abused by Cinder. I think if both Cinder/Salem's plans and Emerald being treated like a disposable pawn continue, Emerald will eventually have enough. If she does turn away from Cinder and Salem, I rather hope she does it before the two realize she's a potential liability and silence her.

I'm gonna say E
but I think ruby would say, "I'm not gonna kill you. I cant forgive you. but I could never kill you. you were used and were taken for granted. (cries) you still did bad things...(sniffs) but penny wasn't alive, so in a way she didn't die and you didn't kill her (sniffs). and you didn't kill pyrrha. (clenches fist), she did. I don't want you getting hurt. RUN AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN AND LET ME TAKE CARE OR HER, AND SO THAT SHE CAN'T HURT YOU!!!
EMERALD: *cries* (I hurt this girl, framed her sister...destroyed her friend...RUINED HER SCHOOL AND LIFE...and...and...and...SHE STILL WANTS ME SAFE? JUST WHAT IS SHE...AND WHY CANT I STOP CRYING OUT REGRET AND HAPPINESS...OH GOD...WHAT HAVE I DONE...WHO DID I LISTEN TO...WHY HAVE I DONE ALL THIS...WHEN DID THIS ALL COME TO ME...WHERE DO I GOT FROM HERE?)
kneels down and holds her by the legs
emerald: IM SO SORRY RUBY...IM, SO, SO, SO,SO SORRY, WHY HAVEN'T YOU KILLED ME, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE ME TO JAIL, WHY LET ME GO, HOW COME YOU GIVE A DAMN IF IM HURT, ALIVE OR DEAD, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WWHHHHHYYYYY?!?!
ruby kneels down hold her face looks her in the eye with anger and concern, SMACKS HER IN THE FACE and says "because...I'm...your...friend...you never had one, did you? so now, you've got one"
then emerald remembers all the times she got punched and threatened on the streets. all the times people left her. her parents dying (or something), the times she got used and betrayed...but she saw truth in ruby's eyes and actions and then she just bursts into tears going "i don't deserve to be your friend, IM A MONSTER, JUST WHY"
then one last time ruby says "because she used you, manipulated you, forced you to do things, changed you, and worst of all...she hurt you...and no one, hurts...my...friends..."
at least that's my theory.
those options are good
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You may be right, I did rather base those options on my own viewpoint, whoops. Guess it depends on what turn the show takes in Volume 4.

I mean, d and e are good. but ruby's too innocent to kill (especially in a...gruesome way). I mean she can kill salem, because she's a grim lord and she's the manifestation of evil. but even cinder has emotion and she's also a person. but if anyones gonna die its gonna be blake by the end of the series. my reasons. she's a good character and her death will be the most impactful, she probably doesn't know what to do if they beat salem, I don't think she has any intensions on having children or getting married (maybe she'll end up with son in a childless marriage or she cant have kids), she'll die in bravery, showing that her last act was not in a cowardly way but in a heroic way, and she probably doesn't see herself in the future because she doesn't expect to live that long as a founus and huntress. plus the death of a team rwby remember is sure to be impactful. that's my opinion. emerald and mercury will just go alone or if yang finds it in her heart to forgive him, marry him and have a daughter so he could be a better farther than his dad was, emerald would just run away or commit herself to that atlas government; instead of stealing she can give hope, neo would be all alone, die, or *laugh smurk* work at an ice cream shop, cinder will be betrayed by salem, have her body taken over or thrown in jail, yang will travel round the world (or option 1), Weiss will be head of the atlas government, coco will own a fashion shop and design cloths but will still be a huntress, velvet will live in a quiet home, married with 3 children 9maybe with that giant sword wielding guy or fox), son MAY MARRY BLAKE (if she's alive) or will move on, Neptune could marry Weiss and they have 2 kids, the eldest with blue hair and eyes, the youngest with white hair and yellow eyes, ren and nora have like 4 kids and it's him making pan cakes and nora is lifting her kids like dung bells with a T-shirt saying SUPER MOM with boop trousers and lighting wrist bands, iron wood retires, glynda is the principle of beacon, taiyang gives raven one more chance or they stay friends, carder (or whats his face) probably becomes a big shot or a loner.

I rather think so as well. I started thinking about RPGs while writing that monster, so I thought of "options for the hypothetical player."

Options that stayed true to Ruby's character and those that would cause her to stray.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. Either that or hypothetical RWBY RPG (How awesome would that be if someone could really make that work, down to your own character with their own combo weapon and such?) with choices to pick.
