After the opening, the first scene is of random students schmoozing at the dance. Bartholomew Oobleck is shown to be listening intently as Peter Port laughs over some unheard anecdote. Ozpin is standing off to the side with Glynda Goodwitch until General James Ironwood offers his hand for her to dance with him as she declines as Y/n comes over kisses her cheek and brings her to the dance floor leaving a jaw dropped ironwood as Jaune Arc approaches Ruby Rose, who is standing pensively near the refreshments tables.

Jaune: JauneI see you're hiding at the punch bowl too.

Ruby:Yep. (An audible *pop* can be heard as Ruby emphasizes the "p".)

JauneTo the socially awkward.

Ruby giggles and they clink glasses.

Ruby: Sorry things didn't work out with Weiss.

Jaune: Meh, it's fine. Neptune's pretty "cool". I get why she went with him.

Ruby:What do you mean?

Jaune:Well, come on, not many people can pull off blue hair.

Jaune begins to drink his punch.

Ruby:No, I mean, Weiss came to the dance alone.

Jaune chokes in surprise.

Jaune:(turning to Ruby) Uh, what?

Weiss is shown trying desperately to coax life out of a wilting white rose. When she fails, she looks visibly upset.

Ruby:Yeah, she said that she had too much to focus on to worry about boys.

Laughter draws Weiss' attention to Sun, Blake, and Neptune as the latter entertains the others with some impressions and other silly faces. Jaune, shown to be observing as well, becomes visibly perturbed.

Jaune:(speaking in a low growl) Hold my punch.

As this is unfolding Y/n is seen dancing with cinder as mercury and emerald are seen in the corner watching all the dance attendees

Y/n: there definitely up to something

Cinder: I really wish I could remember what all the plans where but it's just static like after I broke free everything I knew just got deleted

Y/n: Salem probably knew that you would break free eventually so she had a failsafe to ensure you wouldn't rat her out

Cinder: for now let's just enjoy our night together okay love

Y/n: of course *sees pyrrha walk to the balcony looking sad* ill be right back

Cinder: *sees the same thing and sighs* you just can't help saving a damsel in distress and ill allow it

Y/n: ha ha *follow pyrrha to the balcony*

The scene changes to show pyrrha looking over the balcony as the moon shines in the night sky as she wears a face of confliction

Pyrrha: "why is this so hard jaune is such a sweet and caring person and is a loveable goof but Y/n is all of that as well as determined heroic strong......handsome~ DOWN PYRRHA ooh love is confusing"

Y/n: so no date tonight

Pyrrha jumps with a yelp to Y/n's sudden appearance as y/n lightly chuckles finding her reaction cute as she cheeks turn a slight pink

Pyrrha: H-hi Y/n what brings you up here

Y/n: well I saw you were a little sad so I decided to come up here and see if I could help

Pyrrha: "he came running the moment I looked troubled" oh you know just a little lonely since I didn't get asked to the dance

Y/n: but your pyrrha nikos any guy would be lucky to ask you to the dance

Pyrrha: and that's the problem (turning toward the balcony) I've been blessed with incredible talents and opportunities. I'm constantly surrounded by love and praise, but when you're placed on a pedestal like that for so long, you become separated from the people that put you there in the first place. (turning back to Y/n) Everyone assumes I'm too good for them. That I'm on a level they simply can't attain. It's become impossible to form any sort of meaningful relationship with people. That's what I like about you. When we met, you didn't even care my name or status. You treated me just like anyone else. And thanks to you and everyone else, I've made friendships that will last a lifetime. I guess… you're the kind of guy I wish I was here with. Someone who just saw me for me.

Y/n: well that can still be arranged

Pyrrha: really...

Y/n: yeah so *walks to pyrrha and offers his hand* pyrrha nikos will you come to the dance with me

Pyrrha: *blushing red* i-i-i Yes I will *takes your hand and walks with you back into the ballroom*

The scene shifts to show Yang leaning on a handrail and overlooking the festivities from a second tier as Ruby approaches and leans on the rail.

Yang:You know? I think we really needed this.

Blake and Sun are slow dancing while Ren and Nora appear to be Waltzing. Penny is shown to be dancing alone, guarded by two Atlas Soldiers as Y/n is dancing with his various girlfriends (pyrrha included) as jaune is seen talking to a girl with short green hair in short dress with 2 black lines on each of her cheek as she laughs and blushes as he does too

Ruby:Yeah, and you did a great job planning it too!

Yang: (reaching over to Ruby) Aw, thanks! (crushing Ruby in a one-arm hug as she flails frantically) It wasn't all me, though. Weiss did a lot too.

Yang(chuffs) Tomorrow it's back to work.

Ruby:I'm sure we can handle whatever gets thrown at us. (sudden fits of laughter and giggles draw their attention below.) Ex-cept for that.

The camera pushes past some students to Pyrrha who turns around to see…

Pyrrha: Jaune?

Y/n: you ballsy son of a bitch

Jaune is shown to now be wearing a white dress with a blue ribbon.

Jaune:Eh, a promise is a promise.

Pyrrha:(smiling… then giggling… then laughing aloud) Jaune! You didn't have to!

Y/n: you really are something else jaune arc hahahaha

Jaune: Hey, an Arc never goes back on his word. (extending his hand to Pyrrha) Now do you wanna stand there and laugh at me, or do you wanna dance?

Pyrrha:(looks back to Y/n who nods his head as she offers her own hand) I would love to dance. (Jaune pulls her to him and sweeps her away.) Oh!

Nora:(flailing excitedly) Ren. This… is… happening!

Ren:(looking at the audience) Wait, what "is happening"?

Nora grabs Ren and drags him out onto the dance floor with Pyrrha and Jaune. JNPR performs a short but elaborately choreographed dance, culminating in Jaune spinning as Pyrrha as Y/n then jumps in with team C(Y)AT and do there own dance

Y/ns harem:our boyfriend is amazing

Neptune and Weiss are shown to be watching the dancers.

Weiss :So, what made you change your mind?

Neptune:Huh?

Weiss: You said you were embarrassed at first. What made you come talk to me?

Neptune:You're looking at him. (they watch Jaune dancing with Pyrrha) You got some good friends looking out for ya.

Jaune and Pyrrha continue to dance. Ren and Nora do a kind of disco dance, Sun and Blake join the mix and Penny and an Atlas guard are showing doing the "robot" as Y/n does the tango with glynda as he has a rose in his mouth as

Mercury and Emerald are shown to be observing the students from the next tier.

Emerald: whoa he's pretty good

Mercury: yeah *shakes head* let's focus on the mission

Emerald:It appears all the dancers have partners.

Ember:(heard via ear-bud) How long do I have?

Mercury You should probably be home by midnight, to be safe.

————

Ember is shown to be somewhere outside, holding her fingers to her ear.

Ember: I'll keep my eye on the clock.

Ruby, having made her way to the exit, walks out of the dance and into the night air. She watches a figure running along the rooftops and then moves to pursue.

————

Outside the Cross Continental Transmit System Tower, Ember (dressed as a assassin), stealthily approaches an armed guard. She knife-hands the back of his head, rendering him unconscious with a stunned grin on his face. She drags him behind some bushes.

Inside the building, Ember approaches more guards.

Atlas soldier1: Excuse me, no one's allowed in this area. (Ember continues to approach.) Stop!

The soldier opens fire when Ember does not heed him. She charges in and manages to overpower him, punching the soldier then grabbing his arm. Ember kicks another soldier and uses the first one's gun to take him out. She then kicks the soldier's knee and throws him against a handrail. Two more soldiers rush her wielding batons. Ember flash-forges a pair of black blades from fire Dust and slashes at both of them. Batting the first aside she advances on the second and strikes him before sweeping both legs. The first soldier recovers but she blocks each swing with her blades. After blocking a kick she elbows then shoves him to the floor. As he tries to get back up she flips over to kick him in the head, checking for more guards before moving on.

Two guards are shown to be on an elevator.

Atlas Soldier 2 :Hey, man, do you know the Wi-Fi password?

Atlas Soldier : It's Beacon, but replace the E with a 3 and add a pound symbol to the end.

The elevator door opens to show Ember waiting. One of the guards notices the fallen men outside. Both guards grow apprehensive as Ember casually walks onto the elevator, the doors closing as she turns around. Thrashing sounds can be heard from outside the elevator.

Outside the building, Ruby approaches and sees the unconscious guard. She gasps and pulls out her Scroll, dialing for her weapon locker which crashes into the courtyard and opens to reveal Crescent Rose.

Inside the building, the elevator doors open to show Ember examining a Scroll. The two guards are knocked out.

Ember: Oh! That's handy.

She pockets the Scroll and walks out of the elevator and toward the control consoles nearby.

Emerald:(via earbud) A party guest is leaving.

Ember:(sighs) Which one?

————

Emerald is shown to be dancing with Mercury.

Emerald: Ironwood.

Ironwood is shown to be walking out the door as Ozpin gives his send-off.

Mercury: (off-screen) I guess the general's had enough fun for one night.

————

Random code appearing on a computer screen is shown to change into a Queen chess piece.

Mercury:(via earbud) Should we intervene?

The other monitors in the room light up.

Ember: No… we're done here.

As she starts to walk away, she notices the elevator doors opening. Ruby steps out of the elevator slowly, brandishing her weapon.

Ruby:Hello? (She stumbles due to her high-heeled shoes.) Is anyone there? Hello?

Ember smirks confidently then rises from her hiding place and steps out toward Ruby.

Ruby: Excuse me? You know, it's not a masquerade party, so why don't you take off that-!

Ember produces a container of dust from her belt expelling a cloud that glows. Condensing into glass shards that go flying at Ruby. A battle ensues as she defends herself then opens fire. Ember blocks each shot with her hand as parts of the outfit glow. She once again summons a pair of blades, Ruby launches herself forward but Ember dodges. Her eyes and outfit glowing again as she combines the blades into a bow and fires three arrows. Ruby stumbles back from the resulting explosion and they stare each other down. But their fight is interrupted by the appearance of Ironwood on the nearby elevator. Ruby is visibly glad to see him until she notices that Ember has disappeared.

In a hallway, Ember discards two bracelets and her mask to change from her stealth suit into a black dress and enters the dance. Two guards following her crush the bracelets underfoot and are visibly confused at the sight of the crowded dance hall. The screen pans over various people including Neptune dancing and having a good time as they walk back out.

Emerald and Mercury are still dancing together as Ember taps Emerald's shoulder.

Ember: Oh, may I cut in?

Emerald steps aside.

Emerald:Of course.

Mercury: Mercury And how's your night been?

Ember: Mmm… a little more exciting than expected.

Mercury Should we be worried?

Ember:Hardly… They'll be scratching their heads long after we finished what we came here for.

Mercury:So then, what now?

Ember:Enjoy the rest of the night. After all, it is a party.

The camera pans away from the two showing the rest of the party. Y/n and Pyrrha are sitting at a table, Sun and Blake are dancing, jaune talking to the green haired girl at a table, there is a squad of red and yellow soldiers out side and Ironwood is shown approaching Ruby before one last shot of the Queen chess piece appears on the computer screen as it glitches to a silver rose then back to the queen piece as the clock chimes midnight.

The scene then changes to show Y/n in his combat outfit late at night meeting with a mysterious figure in a black hood

Y/n: thanks for that anti-virus null

Null only nods in response and dissepears from sight as the screen goes black and the credits start to roll
