Chapter 7 Preview:

That was a stupid thing to ask for considering that she was heading into a kill zone willingly and knowingly, all for the sake of trying to search for the one person that could help her figure out what she was doing.
Or something to that tune.
Ruby forcefully ignored her sense of smell. She just had to pretend that she hadn't come across anything horrendous and it would be okay. She just needed to keep moving and do whatever it took to find the Master Chief.
That's when she heard the distinct sound of gunfire. It was unlike anything she had ever heard and she had heard many different types of guns. Pistols, submachine guns, machine guns, rifles, everything and anything. The sound she was hearing was nothing like the things that she had heard before.
That had to be where he was.
The sound was distant, but it was clear and crisp. Additionally, the fire was repeated. It sounded like controlled bursts as well. There was also the sound of screaming and crying. Whoever he was fighting didn't sound like they were having a fun time.
Ruby did her best to triangulate where all the noise was coming from, which became easier as more layers piled atop each other. Once she found the general direction, she could then see a faint light in the distance. That had to be it.
The silver-eyed girl then realized that she was shaking all over. Her hands clutching the pistol were absolutely shaking, creating a light metallic reverberance. Not only that, she felt sweat that she had no recollection of. It almost felt like she had just gone swimming, then came out and only roughly dried herself.
She felt herself backing up, with the back of her right foot hitting something, most likely a tree given that it remained steady in spite of her hitting it somewhat forcefully. Her breathing shifted from being steady to being erratic.
Nononono! Ruby mentally chided herself. Not here! Not now!
She bent down to the ground and forced her mouth closed and held her breath. She had no idea what this was supposed to do for her, but she did it on instinct. Closing her eyes, she saw black, nothingness. That brought a small sense of relief into her systems and she felt her thoughts drift away from the bad stuff.
After taking another minute, she unsteadily got back on her feet and held her weapon in ready position. She didn't need to think, just do.
She ran into the forest. If she came across an obstacle, she found a way around. If she felt tired, she just pushed further. If she felt her thoughts drifting, she pushed her body harder so she could feel the pain in her muscles.
Don't think. Just do.
The light source was getting brighter, but the sounds were quieter.
She was almost there. Just a little further and she would find him.
When Ruby eyes first sighted a bright torch, she shielded her vision. It was too bright for her after running in near total darkness. She took yet another half a minute to slowly adjust to the light source. She carefully removed her arm and took a good look around.
Bodies.
Many bodies.
Blood pools all around.
Shell casings.
Weapons scattered.
For a moment, the fifteen year old girl didn't register the sight of death in front of her. She figured it must be her mind playing tricks on her. She closed her eyes tightly, whispering to herself in the process.
"It's fine. Everything's fine." Ruby said the words. "I'll open my eyes and everything'll be fine."
Her eyelids reopened.
Still bodies.
Still many bodies.
Still pools of blood.
Still shell casings.
Still weapons scattered.
This time, she didn't deny the sight in front of her and in response, she felt something coming up her throat. She fell on all four and vomited the contents of her stomach. The burning sensation distracted her for all of a minute. Once that was done, she lifted her head again only to see the same horrible sight.
I've got to get out of here. Ruby felt her mind going into flight mode. Just go somewhere, anywhere. Just don't stay here!
So the fledgling huntress kept her head up and desperately attempted to avoid looking at anything below. That plan worked for no less than a few seconds as she sprinted into another section of this camp.
She saw him.
A tall figure in futuristic armor surveying all of the damage all around. In front of him were women and girls of differing races, ages, and physical looks gathered, all of them trying to cuddle together for safety.
"Chief." Ruby's voice felt hoarse.
His helmeted head turned to her, his rifle aimed at her head for less than a second before it was lowered.
"What are you doing here?" The man's voice was even. "I told you to stay back and help the villagers."
"I… wanted to help." Ruby gathered her thoughts, pushing past the shocking sight she had only just seen. "I can help."
"You are not needed." The Master Chief disagreed. "There is nothing left for you to do here."
"Yes, but-" Ruby began.
Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted movement. What should have been a dead man suddenly had lifted up his head and one arm.
There was a giant fire crystal in his hand.
If this were a different time, maybe she would have done just enough to incapacitate.
But fear combined with frayed nerves, adrenaline, and her training had her raise her borrowed pistol.
She felt her finger pull the trigger.
She heard a powerful sound.
She momentarily saw a round fly.
Ruby did this, then a bit of her mind came back to her.
What did she just do?

Just really enjoy KtyouVsWriting story work that I felt it deserves its own special cover, also wanted to flex my drawing tablet for practice.
As book lore enthusiast of halo franchise and avid fanfic reader of multiverse of fanfic community rwby stories, I love Ktyou writting challenging approach of the different tone of the worlds between rwby illogical action/fantasy clash with halo military science-fiction serious tone really makes interesting combination. The setting to make this story more interesting dark gritty dynamic view of the world for Ruby instantly experiences which is never considered up to this point in the show and for her to grow, ever since her encounter with the Master Chief really has instantly set the realities Ruby to comprehend, but in her nature i enjoy is how she still holds onto her belief on HOW she NEEDS to approach that goal. Thus Master Chief is that wandering Survivalist with Ruby wants that experience, unknowingly at the moment he's over 40-50 years old experience war veteran from Outerspace.
