The opening ends to an overhead view of Emerald Forest, where a black bird is flying slowly and magnificently, right up to the moment it gives a final shriek and Ruby crashes through it in a burst of feathers as she plummets downward.

Ruby:Birdie, no!

Ruby fires off a few rounds from Crescent Rose to slow her down, then turns the weapon into its scythe form to catch the branch of a tree in her blade and fall downward at a slower pace.

Weiss, armed with Myrtenaster, summons a white snowflake circle under her and leaps off of it to the forest below.

We then cut to see Y/n jumping from tree to tree until he comes across Ada slashing threw some beowolves but she fails to notice the one behind her as it goes to slash her but y/n dashes forward and cuts it clean in half with Crimson Yamato

Ada: thank you for the save y/n

Y/n: no problem partner *sheathes Crimson Yamato and continues forward* let's go the temple is this way try to keep up *jumps into the trees as Ada follows suit*

The scene then cuts to the middle of the forest, Ruby lands in a crouch, then darts off with a single mantra in her mind.

Ruby:(thinking) Gotta find Yang! Gotta find Y/n, gotta find Yang, gotta find… (shouting) Y/N! Yaaaang! (internally, now seeing herself partnered with various people) Oh, this is bad, this is really bad… What if I can't find them? What if someone finds them first? Well, there's always Jaune. He's nice. He's funny! …I don't think he's very good in a fight, though. Ooh! What about Blake?! So mysterious, so calm… Plus she likes books! Then again, I'm not sure I'd be able to hold a conversation with her… Ugh! (shakes her head of daydreams) Okay… Who else do I know in this school? There's Y/n, Yang, Jaune, Blake, aaaand…

Time seems to slow down as Ruby skids to a halt in front of Weiss as she is turning to face her. She stops just in time for their eyes to meet and a pregnant pause follows. This ends when Weiss turns on her heel and walks the other way.

Ruby:(following her slightly) Wait! Where are you going?! (stops and kicks the ground dejectedly) We're supposed to be teammates…

Weiss is seen struggling through the forest, giving an occasional grunt or "Ow!" as she pushes plants out of her way. She brushes herself off and sighs in relief when she hears a voice above her.

Jaune:(apparently struggling to free himself) Come on, come on! Stupid…!

Weiss sees Jaune hanging a few feet in the air by the spear embedded in his hood and the tree behind him. As he gives up trying to pull it out, he looks down and sees Weiss, giving an embarrassed wave. Weiss simply heads back in the direction she came from and Jaune groans in dejection.

Weiss:(as she passes Ruby and pulls on her hood) By no means does this make us friends.

Ruby:(overjoyed as she's dragged away into the bushes) You came back!

The scene then cuts to the temple as you and Ada approach it as you both grab a black rook piece

Y/n: well that want hard at all ozpin really needs to make this initiation thing harder

Ada: yeah......uh hey y/n about this morning when I was asleep *blushing* did I say anything weird

Y/n: uuuh no the only thing you said was not to leave you

Ada: *blushing* oh well I hope you don't think I'm weak cause of that

Y/n: quite the opposite i think it makes you stronger that you were able to openly admit you fears to someone you trust

Ada: hmm thanks y/n

Yang: hey lil bro guess you beat us here huh

Following the voice of his sister y/n sees yang with Blake as the both go and grab a white rook piece before coming over to you and Ada

Yang: so you and Ada huh 😏

Y/n: shut up baka also about this morning don't tell ruby but I think I found Cinder

Yang hearing about her lost friend being alive gets a serious look on her face before looking y/n dead in the eyes with her eyes flickering from lilac to red

Yang: did she say anything to you about where she is or if she's okay

Y/n: she was okay and to tell you the truth she got prettier *shakes head* but I promise we will find her

Yang: I hope so

The scene suddenly changes to Weiss Schnee as she is deflecting the swipe from a Beowolf with her Myrtenaster and getting pushed back into the middle of the beastly circle. She holds out her sword as she goes through her dueling motions and practices.

Weiss:(in her head) Remember your training, Weiss. Head up, shoulders back, right foot forward — not that forward! — slow your breathing, wait for the right time to strike, and… (brings her rapier up, the revolver spinning) Now!

Weiss dashes forward with her loaded weapon at the Beowolf in front of her, just when Ruby suddenly appears between the two in a blur of rose petals and a swipe of her Crescent Rose scythe, landing a hit on the monster.

Ruby:Gotcha!

Weiss widens her eyes and screams as she quickly has to stop, swinging the sword in a random direction and creating a line of fire that sets a nearby tree ablaze, followed quickly by the rest of the forest around the clearing.

Ruby:Hey, watch it!

Weiss:Excuse me! You attacked out of turn! I could have killed you!

Ruby:You'll have to try a lot harder than that…

The duo wield their arms as the pack of Beowolves whine and growl around them. Ruby reloads her scythe just as a flaming tree falls near them.

Weiss:(grabbing Ruby's arm) We have to go!

She leads Ruby out of the blaze as it engulfs the grass and sets the Grimm to running back the way they came or suffering in the fire.

Ruby and Weiss stop a safe ways from the smoke and flames. Weiss leans over and pants as Ruby looks behind her.

Ruby:What was that?! That should've been easy!

Weiss:Well, perhaps if you had exercised even the slightest amount of caution with the placement of your strikes, I wouldn't have set the forest on fire!

Ruby:(scoffs) What's that supposed to mean?

Weiss:I'm just surprised someone who talks so much would communicate so little during an encounter!

Ruby:Well, I'm sorry you need my help to win a fight. I'm just fine on my own!

Weiss:Well, congratulations on being the strongest child to sneak your way into Beacon. Bravo!

Weiss begins to walk off on her partner yet again. Ruby, with an agitated shriek, unfolds Crescent Rose, slices a tree down to the stump, refolds it back, and follows her partner as the tree crashes behind her. Neither notice the large dark feather floating onto the fallen trunk behind them.

Timeskipper with my zipper

Glynda:The last pair has been formed, sir. (taps the screen to show the ending scene of "The Emerald Forest") Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren. Poor boy… I can't possibly imagine those two getting along. Still, he's probably better off than Miss Nikos. (the video changes to Pyrrha and Jaune Arc's trek through the woods)

Ozpin:Mmmm…

Glynda:I don't care what his transcripts say. That Jaune fellow is not ready for this level of combat. (deactivates the tablet, walking back a little) I guess we'll find out soon enough. At their current pace, they should reach the temple within just a few minutes. (turning back to Ozpin) Speaking of which, what did you use as relics this year? (silence) Professor Ozpin?

Ozpin doesn't answer, watching his tablet with a contemplating interest as it shows the footage of Ruby Rose sitting in the grass and picking stray leaves while her "partner" Weiss Schnee walks in random directions.

Weiss:(walking right) It's definitely this way. (stops and starts walking left) I mean… this way! It's definitely this way. (stops in front of Ruby) Alright, it's official: We passed it.

Ruby:(stands up, slightly annoyed) Weiss, why can't you just admit that you have no idea where we're going?

Weiss:Because I know exactly where we're going! We're going… to… the forest temple!

Ruby:(sighs, frustrated)

Weiss:Oh, stop it! You don't know where we are, either!

Ruby:Well, at least I'm not pretending like I know everything.

Weiss:What is that supposed to mean?

Ruby:It means you're a big, stupid jerk and I hate you!

Weiss:(sighs to herself, spinning around and walking in another direction) Just keep moving!

Ruby:(in a faux imitation of Weiss' voice) Oh, just keep moving! Hurry up! Waaaah! Watch where you're going! (in her normal voice) Why are you so bossy?

Weiss:(turning back around to face Ruby) I'm not bossy! Don't say things like that!

Ruby:Stop treating me like a kid!

Weiss:Stop acting like a kid!

Ruby:Well, stop acting like you're perfect!

Weiss:I'm. Not. Perfect! Not yet… But I'm still leagues better than you. (continues to walk away)

Ruby:(to herself, dejectedly) You don't even know me…

Jaune and Pyrrha are standing at the mouth of a dark cave, where drawings are seen to the side involving armed men against giant beasts.

Jaune:Think this is it?

The scene cuts to their walk inside the cave, Jaune holding a short, burning torch to light their way.

Pyrrha:I'm not sure this is it.

Jaune:(sighs) Pyrrha, I made the torch. Could you at least humor me for, like, five more feet?

Suddenly and completely expectedly, Jaune trips on the ground, and the torch flies into a small puddle, extinguishing the flame so the two are cast in darkness with only their eyes visible.

Pyrrha:(as Jaune gets up and grumbles) Do you… feel that?

Jaune:Soul-crushing regret?

Pyrrha:No, it's… warm.

Back at the temple we see a blonde haired boy with a large sword on his back approach the temple with black haired girl who has green gauntlets on

Black haired girl: think this is it

The blonde gives her a glance before nodding and sliding down the hill towards the temple with the black haired girl following Close behind

Back to the temple we see y/n looking off in the distance before dissapering in a flash leaving a confused Ada yang and Blake

The scene then changes to show y/n jumping from tree to tree before stopping in front of a cave entrance

Y/n: this immense aura this has to be where its coming from

Y/n then walks into the cave and encounters a flight of stairs going down into the darkness so he jumps down the middle and lands as he continues forward he is met with a large room with a pedestal in the middle of the room with a fox statue on it

Y/n cautiously grabs the statue but as soon as he does a large wave of reddish orange Chakra shoots out in a ring like fashion back at the cliffs Ozpin suddenly turns his head towards the cave and looks on his fear as the scene changes to a evil looking castle as Salem also feels the large Flux in power as she smiles evily

Salem: finally.......I found the last one

And the scene changes for a final time as it shows an old man with blonde hair and a headband on his head as he is seen meditating

???: so you final chose a new host old friend

Back to you in the cave as the reddish orange Chakra begins to circle your body before forming into the head of a fox

Y/n: what the hell

Fox: hello human what is your name

Y/n: my name is y/n rose branwen im a silver eyed sharingan warrior but who are you

Fox: "a rose and a branwen huh" I shall reveal my name to you at a later date for now I shall in habit your body and lend you my power for I sense that someone similar to you is in trouble and for the danger that is Salem

Y/n: who the hell is sa

Before y/n could react the fox then plunges into him as a strange tattoo forms on his stomach

Y/n then suddenly feels a surge of power as he glows a bright orange color before zooming out of the cave and back towards the old temple

y/n: ruby......

Back to the others

Yang:Great! The gang's all here! Now we can die together!

Ruby:Not if I can help it! (sounds a battle cry and rushes towards the Grimm)

Yang:Ruby, wait!

Ruby, still screaming, fires Crescent Rose and charges at the oncoming Death Stalker. When the two meet, the Grimm swipes Ruby away and she is knocked back.

Ruby:(getting up slowly) D-Do-Don't worry! Totally fine!

Ruby turns back to the monster and shoots it in the skull, running away from it and sheathing her scythe as the Death Stalker now goes after her.

Yang:(running forward) Ruby!

Ruby rushes towards Yang, but the Nevermore caws above them, flapping its wings and releasing lines of sharpened feathers with points that catch on Ruby's cape and prevent Yang from reaching her.

Yang:Ruby, get out of there!

Ruby:(struggling with the cloak) I'm trying!

The Death Stalker approaches, raising its golden stinger above a scared Ruby and heading down on the helpless girl.

Yang:(reaching out in vain) Ruby!

A Orange blur races past Yang and reaches the stinger just as it's about to pierce her, cutting the scene to black.

Y/n:(off-screen) ruby are you okay

Ruby opens her eyes to the sight of the stinger encased in ice and lowers her arms from their futile position over her head as she stares at her savior.

Ruby:Y/n…?

Yang: y/n...is that you

Jaune: how did he

Weiss: that's impossible

Meanwhile with ozpin and glynda

Glynda: that orange glow professor do you think....

Ozpin: *sips coffee* let's see then

Y/n is seen holding the deathstalkers stinger with one hand with his 3 tomoe sharingan activated

Y/n: FOR ALL MY HOMIES IN VACUO YEET!!!!!!

In vacuo

Team SSSN can be seen staring in a single direction as one thought is on there mind

SSSN: "a brother in the way of memes"

Back to Y/n he then throws the deathstalker into the nevermore as he raises his hand and throws a large orange ball of energy resembling a shuriken as it strikes the 2 Grimm killing them instantly

Ruby: that was amazing

Pyrrha: Y/n is quite the interesting person

Ada: *absent mindly* yeah and cute too

Blake: what was that

Ada: NOTHING!!!!!

Blonde haired boy: seems were late to the fun

Black haired girl: guess so

Y/n then turns to his friends and gives a smile before collapsing on the ground unconscious

Ozpin:Jaune Arc. Lie Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team JNPR.

Amid the clapping, Nora laughs and gives Ren a hug.

OzpinLed by… Jaune Arc!

JauneHuh? L-Led by…?

Ozpin: Congratulations, young man.

A grinning Pyrrha offers a friendly shoulder bump to Jaune, but her "fine leader" is knocked over and falls to his butt in front of the laughing audience.

Ozpin:Blake Belladonna. Ruby Rose. Weiss Schnee. Yang Xiao Long. (motions over the four as they stand before him) The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team RWBY. Led by… Ruby Rose!

Ozpin: And finally Cloud strife Tifa lockhart Ada Taurus Y/n rose branwen you 4 picked up the black knight pieces you shall be known as team [catastrophe] led by y/n rose congratulations 👏

Ozpin:(amid the last round of cheers) It looks like things are shaping up to be an… interesting year.

The camera pans over the auditorium's structure until it escapes into the open sky and shows the scattering crescent moon amid the day's clouds…

————

…before going into the night and seeing the moon through a window, providing a view to the outside for a shadowy room filled with shelves and a desk in the back, where Roma Torchwick is getting a call on her phone. The muffled conversation ends, and Roma angrily slams the phone down, sighing. She holds a cigar to her mouth and puts her symbolized lighter to the end, just as a man in a gray mask and black hood comes with a trolley. Roma holds out a collection of Lien, which she places on the table and the man takes.

Roma: Open it.

The masked man does so with a crowbar, revealing a large amount of Dust crystals of varying colors - orange, blue, white, red, green, cyan, gold, yellow, and more. Roma picks up a blue gem in her hand and looks at the loot.

Roma:We're gonna need more men…*turns head to a stack of files as yours is shown with a picture on it as she blushs "y/n rose what are you doing to me"
