Vale. The City of Food, Casual Shit, Fish and high crime rates. Anyway RWBY and Bulverk are walking through the streets of Vale being decorated in time for the Vytal Festival. Red, yellow, and green streamers and balloons are proudly on display, and Team RWBY is strolling through it all with an awed Weiss Schnee in the front. A sign is being put up by the elderly Shopkeep that reads in bright red letters "WELCOME TO VALE!" for all the foreign newcomers from their respective kingdoms of Remnant.
Weiss: (stopping and raising her arms in amazement) "The Vytal Festival! Oh, this is absolutely wonderful!"
Ruby: "I don't think I've ever seen you smile this much, Weiss." (frowns a little) "It's kinda weirding me out..."
Xero: It's nothing. She is a big culture nerd.
Weiss: (turning to Ruby) "How could you not smile? A festival dedicated to the cultures of the world! There will be dances! Parades! A tournament! Oh, the amount of planning and organization that goes into this event is simply breathtaking!" (they continue walking)
Xero: See.
Yang: (sighs, arms crossed) "You really know how to take a good thing and make it sound boring."
Omega: Yang Tournament. You get to punch people for Oum's sake
Weiss: "Quiet, you!"
Yang: (as they stop near the docks and the sounds of foghorns are heard) "Remind me again why we're spending our Friday afternoon visiting the stupid docks?"
Ruby: (covering her nose) "Ugh, they smell like fish!"
Weiss: "I've heard that students visiting from Vacuo will be arriving by ship today. And, as a representative of Beacon, I feel as though it is my solemn duty to welcome them to this fine kingdom!
Blake: (as Weiss starts walking away again) "She wants to spy on them so she'll have the upper hand in the tournament."
Weiss: (scoffs) "You can't prove that!"
Ruby: (turns her head to the right) "Whoa." (the team looks at a shattered window down the street and a door full of yellow caution tape of the Vale Police Force before walking over to the detective in front, who is writing on his pad) "What happened here?"
Xero: POLICE TAPE! SHATTER WINDOWS! WHAT DO YOU THINK.
Detective 1: "Robbery. Second Dust shop to be hit this week. This place is turning into a jungle." (walks over to his partner)
Yang: (sighs sadly) "That's terrible."
Detective 2: (off screen, to his partner) "They left all the money again."
Ruby: (turning her head when she hears this) "Huh?"
Omega: Tooken dust and not the money. (sighs) Roman.
Detective 1: "Yeah, just doesn't make a lick of sense. Who needs that much Dust?"
Xero: A legit army.
Detective 2: "I don't know, an army?"
Xero: SEE
Detective 1: "You thinking the White Fang?"
Detective 2: (removing his sunglasses) "Yeah, I'm thinking we don't get paid enough."
Xero: What.
Weiss: "Hmph! The White Fang." (crossing her arms and pointing her nose in the air with her eyes closed) "What an awful bunch of degenerates!"
Xero sighs in disgust of what his father tough his baby sister.
Xero: Here we go again.
Blake: "What's your problem?"
Weiss: (turning to her) "My problem? I simply don't care for the criminally insane."
Omega: No. They went like that Once the previous leader stepped down.
Blake: "The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths." (crossing her arms, getting serious) "They're a collection of misguided Faunus."
Xero just grabs him MP3 player and ear buds and plays a song.
Weiss: "Misguided? They want to wipe Humanity off the face of the planet!"
Omega: They do now.
Blake: "So then they're very misguided. Either way, it doesn't explain why they would rob a Dust shop in the middle of downtown Vale!"
Ruby: "Hmm... Blake's got a point. Besides, the police never caught that Torchwick guy I ran into a few months ago... Maybe it was him."
Weiss: "That still doesn't change the fact that the White Fang are a bunch of scum." (to Blake's growing anger) "Those Faunus only know how to lie, cheat, and steal."
Omega Is clenching his fist.
Yang: "That's not necessarily true..."
Sailor 1: (off-screen) "Hey, stop that Faunus!"
As the team overhears the cry for help and rush over to investigate, a Faunus with a golden monkey tail named Sun Wukong is seen running down the length of the boat and leaping on to the edge as the two sailors are about to apprehend him.
Sun: (looking back at his pursuers) "Thanks for the ride, guys! Haha!" (he jumps off and hits the dock running)
Sailor 2: "You no-good stowaway!"
Sun: (using his tail to hang on a lamppost while he peels back a banana) "Hey! A no-good stowaway would've been caught! I'm a great stowaway!" (before he eats, one of the detectives down below throws a stone at him to get his attention)
Xero: he is right.
Detective 1: "Hey! Get down from there this instant!"
Sun drops the banana peel on the detective's face, who growls in return. The monkey-like Faunus twirls up to crouch on the lamppost, laughs in amusement, and proceeds to leap off and run away from the detectives. As he runs past Team RWBY, he winks at an astonished Blake in slow motion before time speeds up again and he continues to be chased by the officers.
Yang: (watching the Faunus get farther and farther away) "Well, Weiss, you wanted to see the competition, and there it goes..."
Weiss: (holding up a finger) "Quick! We have to observe him!"
Xero: Stop acting like a Scientist
Askad: Heh
Weiss, Yang, and Ruby give chase. Blake stands still, lost in thought, then comes back to reality and follows her friends. The team rounds the next corner, but then Weiss bumps into someone and trips. She looks up only to see Sun jump on to a building and disappear from her view.
Weiss: "No, he got away!"
Yang: "Uhh... Weiss?" (she points strangely at the girl underneath her teammate)
Weiss finally sees that she fell on a smiling girl, which startles the heiress and she hastily gets up.
Penny: (still down on the ground, smiling widely) "Sal-u-ta-tions!"
Kary-08 gives a cute smile
Kary-08: SIS
Penny: SISTER
Both Kary and Penny hug.
Ruby: "Um... hello."
Yang: "Are you... okay?"
Penny: "I'm wonderful! Thank you for asking."
Yang: (the team looks at each other in bewilderment before Yang speaks up again) "Do you... wanna get up?"
Penny: (thinks about this for a moment) "Yes!" (she leaps back on her feet while the team steps back a little) "My name is Penny! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Ruby: "Hi Penny. I'm Ruby."
Weiss: "I'm Weiss."
Blake: "Blake."
Xero: Xero
Omega: Omega
Yang: "Are you sure you didn't hit your head?" (Blake hits her side) "Oh, I'm Yang."
penny: "It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Weiss: "You already said that."
Penny: (pauses again) "So I did!"
Weiss: "Well, sorry for running into you!" (they turn around and start walking away)
Ruby: (waving her arm) "Take care, friend!"
Yang: (when they get far enough away from a startled Penny) "She was... weird..."
Kary-08: That's my sister you dickless prick
Weiss: (looking to her right) "Now, where did that Faunus riff-raff run off to?"
Penny: (suddenly in front of a surprised Weiss) "What did you call me?"
Yang: (as Weiss looks back and forth in shock and Yang looks apologetic) "Oh, I'm really sorry, I definitely didn't think you heard me!"
Penny: "No, not you." (walks through the group and leans her head down to Ruby) "You!"
Ruby: (startled) "Me? I-I don't know. I, what I, um, uh...""
Penny: "You called me 'friend'! Am I really your friend?"
Ruby: "Uuuum..." (she looks over Penny's shoulder while her teammates motion to deny her But Kary-08 Summons 3 soul orbs about her teammates ready to end there puny existance) "Y-Yeah, sure! Why not?"
Penny: (Ruby's teammates comically faint, but Penny looks overjoyed and laughs) "Sen-sational! We can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys!"
Ruby: (groaning to Weiss as she brushes herself off) "Oh, is this what it was like when you met me?"
Weiss: "No - she seems far more coordinated."
Yang: "So... what are you doing in Vale?"
Penny: "I'm here to fight in the tournament."
Weiss: "Wait, you're fighting in the tournament?"
Penny: (saluting) "I'm combat ready!"
Weiss: "Forgive me, but you hardly look the part."
Blake: "Says the girl wearing a dress."
Weiss: (with her arms crossed) "It's a combat skirt!"
Ruby: (the skirt sister speeds over to Weiss' side) "Yeah!" (Weiss holds out her hand and Ruby low-fives it)
Both Omega and Xero chuckle before doing the same thing Wiess and Ruby did. This time Omega Holds out his hand and Xero Low-fives it.
Weiss: (realization hitting) "Wait a minute." (walks over to Penny and grabs her by the shoulders) "If you're here for the tournament, does that mean you know that monkey-tailed... rapscallion?"
Penny: "The who...?"
Weiss: (holding up a poor drawing of the criminal-in-question) "The filthy Faunus from the boat!"
Xero: He might be a Huntsmen.
Blake: (off-screen) "Why do you keep saying that?!"
Weiss: (turning her attention from Penny to Blake) "Huh?"
Blake: (walking over to Weiss, angry) "Stop calling him a rapscallion! Stop calling him a degenerate! He's a person!"
Xero and Omega: Agreed
Weiss: "Oh, I'm sorry." (releases Penny and motions to objects around her) "Would you like me to stop referring to the trash can as a trash can? Or this lamppost as a lamppost?"
Xero: NOT ALL FAUNES ARE CRIMINALS SIS FUCKING OUM!
Blake: "Stop it!"Weiss: "Stop what? He clearly broke the law. Give him time; he'll probably join up with those other Faunus in the White Fang!"
Blake: (growls, clenching her fist) "You ignorant little brat!"
Weiss: (Weiss looks offended, but when Blake walks away, she follows) "How dare you talk to me like that! I am your teammate!"
Xero: Not at this time
Blake: "You are a judgmental little girl."
Weiss: "What in the world makes you say that?"
Blake: "The mere fact that you would sort that Faunus boy with a terrorist group solely based on his species makes you just as much of a scoundrel as you believe him to be!"
Yang: (sliding up to Ruby, looking uncomfortable) "Um, I think we should probably go..."
Penny: (popping up behind Ruby, smiling) "Where are we going?"
Weiss: "So you admit it! The White Fang is just a radical group of terrorists!"
Blake: "That's not what I meant, and you know it!"
As Yang and Ruby continue to observe, the scene shifts from afternoon near the docks to nighttime in their dormroom.
Weiss: "I don't understand why this is causing such a problem!"
Blake: "That is the problem!"
Weiss: (getting up from her bed) "You realize you are defending an organization that hates Humanity, don't you? The Faunus of the White Fang are pure evil!"
Blake: (gets on her feet as well) "There's no such thing as pure evil! Why do you think they hate Humanity so much? It's because of people like Cardin, people like you, that force the White Fang to take such drastic measures!"
Weiss: "People like me?"
Blake: "You're discriminatory!"
Weiss: "I'm a victim!" (as they stare each other down in silence, Weiss leans in close, leering as she speaks quietly) "You want to know why I despise the White Fang? Why I don't particularly trust the Faunus? (leaning against the bookshelf by the window) "It's because they've been at war with my family for years. War, as in actual bloodshed. My grandfather's company has had a target painted across its back for as long as I can remember. And ever since I was a child, I've watched family friends disappear; board members executed; an entire train car full of Dust, stolen. And every day, my father would come home, furious. And that made for a very difficult childhood." (bangs her fist on the bookshelf)
Xero heard this. He was right to become a huntsmen and was pissed off. Yet he still stay in the shadows like the ninja he is
Ruby: (going over to comfort her) "Weiss, I-"
Weiss: "No!" (turns away and walks back over to Blake) "You want to know why I despise the White Fang? It's because they're a bunch of liars, thieves, and murderers!"
Blake: "Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around!"
Silence drops down on the scene again. A surprised Weiss backs away slowly, and Blake realizes her mistake as she looks around at her teammates.
Blake: "I... I..." (she dashes out the door)
Ruby: "Blake, wait! Come back!" (she runs over to the door and calls to her down the hallway as Yang sits herself down and Weiss looks down)
Xero hearing enough Goes to where Blake may be and he was right as Blake runs outside and arrives at a statue of an armored man with a sword and a hooded woman wielding an axe on an outcropping, staring at the Beowolf under the stone heroes in particular.
She closes her eyes and slowly lifts her arms up to her bow and pulls the string to release the bow from her hair. She wipes away a tear away as the camera pulls up to reveal her Faunus ears. On the verge of crying, she becomes startled when she hears a voice above her.
Xero: Hey.
Blake: Xero
Xero: so I heard everything. But I should say. I don't care
Blake: why
Xero: I maybe a Schnee but I'm the only one who dosen't care what the Fang dose. I don't care what the Faunus do. I'm not the one to judge. Good or bad. They are like humans.
Blake: I see.
Xero: I also know you there
The scene shifts to morning at Beacon. Ruby wakes up from her beauty sleep, yawning in the process. She looks over at Blake's empty bunk, and groans sadly.
The scene then shifts again to Ruby, Weiss, and Yang walking through the empty streets of Vale.
Ruby: "She's been gone all weekend..."
Weiss: "Blake's a big girl, I'm sure she can handle herself!"
Yang: "Weiss, come on. She's one of our teammates."
Weiss: "Is she? We all heard what she said!"
Ruby: "Weiss."
Yang: "Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. Either way, she's missing, and we need to find her!"
Weiss: "A member of the White Fang! Right underneath our noses!"
Ruby: "I just hope she's okay..."
Elsewhere, Blake is sipping a cup of tea and sighing. She looks up at Sun sitting across from her, who holds his drink with his tail as his hand props his head up. He takes a sip when Blake puts her cup down.
Blake: "So, you want to know more about me..."
Sun: "Finally, she speaks! Nearly two days and you've given me nothing but small talk and weird looks!" (Blake gives Sun a firm look) "Yeah, like that."
Xero: Same here. I don't judge people based of first impressions
Blake: (rolls her eyes before closing them and looking at him sadly) "Sun, Xero... Are you familiar with the White Fang?"
Xero: Omega told me they where Once a peaceful group. But no
Sun: "Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them. Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want. Bunch of freaks, if you ask me!"
Blake: (sips her drink while listening until she speaks up for the big reveal) "I was once a member of the White Fang."
Sun: (promptly goes cross-eyed and chokes on his drink, making him put it down and wipe his mouth as he holds up a hand to process this information) "Wait a minute, you were a member of the White Fang?!"
Blake: "That's right. I was a member for most of my life, actually. You could almost say I was born into it..."
The scene shifts to a simple silhouetted flashback of fallen weapons plunged into the ground - swords, guns, any number of combinations.
Blake: (off-screen) "Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between Humans and the Faunus."The audience is shown the dark outlines of two trios - animal-eared and tailed Faunus on one side, regular Humans on the other - shaking hands and making peace after their struggle. This does not last long, as seen by a white Faunus cowering in fear of the gray-and-black aggressors harassing the hybrid. Later, more Faunus are pushing the crowd away from their bullied brethren.
Blake: (off-screen) "Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as a voice of our people. And I was there."
Silhouettes of Faunus protestors are revealed, and emerging from the shadows is a young girl with dark hair and cat ears.
Blake: (off-screen) "I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. I actually thought we were making a difference. But I was just a youthful optimist."
Xero: (off-screen) So it became peaceful at first
Cutting from the child version of Blake, the blue flag of a white wolf with sad eyes and a circle behind its head is lowered, and raised in its stead is a red monster with three bloody scratches and teeth bared at the world.
Blake: (off-screen) "Then, five years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader, with a new way of thinking."
A quick series of images are shown - Faunus replacing their picket signs with axes and blades, windows being broken, thieves leaping on trains to steal their cargo.
Blake: (off-screen) "Suddenly, our peaceful protests were being replaced with organized attacks. We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us, hijacking cargo from companies that used Faunus labor. And the worst part was, it was working. We were being treated like equals. But not out of respect... out of fear."
The flashback shows one more image of three Faunus individuals standing in a dominating manner with malicious grins until Blake puts down her teacup in front of a stunned Sun.
Blake: "So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence, and instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress. So here I am: a criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little black bow." (she wiggles her cat ears beneath the fashionable disguise to demonstrate)
Xero: Ok.
Sun: (coming to terms with this) "So... have you told your friends any of this?"
Blake merely looks down in shame and says nothing.
Xero: Ya about that.
Ruby: (shouting) "Blaaaake!"
Yang: (also calling out) "Blaaaake!"
The scene transitions to Ruby, Yang, and Weiss walking through town and calling in vain for their missing teammate.
Ruby: (continuing to scream) "Blaaaaaaaake! Where aaaare yoooouuuu!?"
Yang: "Blake!"
Ruby: (turning on Weiss) "Weiiiiss, you're not helping!"
Weiss: "Oh! You know what might be able to help? The police!"
Omega just grabs a cig and smokes.
Ruby: (crossing her arms in irritation) "Ugh, Weiss..."
Weiss: "It was just an idea!"
Ruby: (walking down the sidewalk) "Yeah, a bad one."
Askad: ya
Yang: (following behind Ruby) "Weiss, I think we should hear her side of the story before we jump to any conclusions."
Weiss: (following behind Yang) "I think that when we hear it, you'll all realize I was right!"
Penny: (following behind Weiss) "And I think Weiss' hair looks wonderful today!"
Kary-08: SIS
Ruby: (turning around suddenly with her team in surprise) "Aaaah! Penny! Where did you come from!?"
Penny: (cheerfully ignoring the question) "Hey guys! What are you up to?"
Ruby: "Uhh..."
Yang: "We're looking for our friend Blake."
Penny: "Ooooh, you mean the Faunus girl!"
Ruby, Weiss, and Yang stare at Penny.
Ruby: "Wait, how did you know that?"
Penny: "Uhh, the cat ears?" (points to her head)
Yang: (laughing a little) "What cat ears? She wears a... booooowww..."
The realization leaves them in silence as a tumbleweed blows through in the wind.
Askad: Fucking idiots
Omega: Hey
Askad: Still
Ruby: (whispering) "She does like tuna a lot..."
Omega: Like your Addiction with cookies and sweets.
Ruby: Why must you remind me of that
Penny: "So, where is she?"
Ruby: "We don't know. She's been missing since Friday."
Penny: (gasping) "That's terrible!" (approaching an uncomfortable Ruby) "Well, don't you worry Ruby, my friend! I won't rest until we find your teammate!"
Ruby: (doing her best to continue smiling) "Uh, that's really nice of you, Penny, but we're okay! Really! Right, guys?"
She looks over Penny to direct her question at Yang and Weiss, who's blinking outlines are all that's left of their sudden departure from the company of the strange girl. A tumbleweed blows past them again in the quiet.
Penny: "It sure is windy today!"
Omega: ya (puff out his smoke away from anyone.
Sun, Blake and Xero are then seen walking down an alley.
Sun: (hands behind his head) "So, what's the plan now?"
Blake: (contemplating) "I still don't believe the White Fang is behind these robberies. They've never needed that much Dust before."
Sun: (widening his eyes) "What if they did?" (lowering his arms and pacing in front of Blake as he continues his theory) "I mean... the only way to prove that they didn't do it, is to go to the place where they would most likely go to if they were to do it, and not find them there! Right?"
Blake: "The only thing is, I've no idea where that would be."
Sun: "Well, while I was on the ship, I heard some guys talking about offloading a huge shipment of Dust coming in from Atlas."
Blake: "How huge?"
Sun: "Huge. Big Schnee Company freighter."
Xero: Is father that desperate for Lien
Blake: "You're sure?"
Yang: (coming out of a shop with Weiss, waving to the person inside) "Thanks anyways!" (sighs) "This is hopeless." (at Weiss when she looks around nonchalantly) "You really don't care if we find her, do you?""
Weiss: "Don't be stupid; of course I do. I'm just afraid of what she'll say when we find her." (walks forward, calling over her shoulder:) "The innocent never run, Yang!"
Askad: (whispers) I wish you knew that this world isn't sunshine and rainbows
Yang looks down in thought.
Penny: So, Blake is your friend?"
Ruby: (sighing as they make their way down the sidewalk) "Yes, Penny."
Penny: "But you're mad at her?"
Ruby: "Yes. Well, I'm not. Weiss is."
Penny: "Is she friends with Blake?"
Ruby: "Well, that's kind of up in the air right now..."
Penny: (trying to contemplate this) "But why?"
Ruby: (sighs again) "Well, you see, Blake might not be who we thought she was..."
Penny: (gasps) "Is she a man?"
Omega Just chokes on his unlit Cig but coughs it out gasping for air.
Ruby: "No! No, Penny. She's..." (stops and sighs, looking at Penny as she talks now) "I don't know what she is. She didn't exactly talk to us before she decided to run off."
Omega: Shes a Faunus penny
Penny: "I don't have a lot of friends, but if I did, I would want them to talk to me about things."
Ruby: (turns her gaze downward sadly) "Me too..." (they continue walking)
Amidst the chirping of crickets and darkness of night, Blake lays flat on her stomach on the rooftop overlooking the shipment of Schnee Dust containers as Xero was resting his eyes.
Sun: (off-screen) "Did I miss anything?"
Blake: (looking up as Sun drops down to her right) "Not really. They've offloaded the crates from the boat. Now they're just sitting there."
Sun: "Cool." (holds out one of the green apples in his arms) "I stole you some food!"
Blake: (giving Sun a questioning look) "Do you always break the law without giving a second thought?"
Xero: Second nature I guess
Sun: (defensively countering:) "Hey, weren't you in a cult or something?" (Blake delivers an angry glare at him) "Okay, too soon!"
Just as he says this, the winds blows all around them, and they look up to see a Bullhead's searchlights flashing around for a landing spot, descending in the middle of the cargo containers and extending a ramp for a black hooded individual with a metallic fanged mask to come out of.
Xero: hmm.
He looks what is going on while also Texting Omega in his visor chat
Blake: "Oh no..."
Sun: "Is that them?"
Blake: (staring at the bloody wolf on the back of the man's outfit) "Yes... It's them."
White Fang Soldier: (to the other White Fang members coming from the aircraft, motioning with his rifle) "All right, grab the tow cables!"
Sun: "You really didn't think they were behind it, did you?"
Blake: (staring sadly at the scene) "No. I think deep down I knew. I just didn't want to be right." (she closes her eyes in despair, only to open them suddenly when she hears a new voice)
Roman: "Hey! What's the holdup!?" (the soldiers look up at Roman gesturing widely and coming down the ramp) "We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, so why don't you animals try to pick up the pace?"
Blake: "This isn't right. The White Fang would never work with a Human. Especially not one like that." (she stands up and unsheathes the Katana of Gambol Shroud before walking off the edge of the roof)
Xero: Wait.
Sun: (alarmed) "Hey, what are you doing?!"
Blake falls to the ground in a crouch, then continues on to hide behind one of the containers, peeking around the corner to see Roman berate a White Fang member holding a coil of rope.
Roman: "No, you idiot! This isn't a leash!" (as he's looking around, Blake suddenly appears behind him with her blade at his throat) "What the- Oh, for f-" (rolls his eyes when he's cut off by Blake mid-swear)
Blake: "Nobody move!"
The White Fang soldiers ready their guns and equip their swords in response.
Roman: "Whoa! Take it easy there, little lady."
As the White Fang closes in on her, Blake uses her free hand to go for her bow and remove it, causing the ribbon to fall away as her Faunus ears are shown to the world.
Blake: "Brothers of the White Fang! Why are you aiding this scum?"
The White Fang members lower their weapons a little at this development, unsure of what to do, when Roman laughs.
Roman: "Oh, kid, didn't you get the memo?"
Blake: "What are you talking about?"
Roman: "The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together!"
Blake: "Tell me what it is or I'll put an end to your little operation."
Suddenly, the air is filled with more turbines blowing the wind wildly around the holdup.
Roman: (looking up) "I wouldn't exactly call it a little operation..."
Two more Bullheads are hovering above the heist, and as Blake watches in horror, Roman smiles and manages to fire his cane at Blake's feet, resulting in a large explosion. Xero Enters Summons Both Blue shark and Slicer as He runs striking at some Grunts with the hilt of his blades Before launching his Blue shark blade a Roman who Blocks it. So Roman and Xero are in battle Xero then rolls over Roman And Drop kicks him and strikes with slicer which Roman Blocks with his cane. Xero Continues to add pressure to Roman as he then Grabs Blue sharks blade back into it's hilt before strikes with both of his blades. Soon Blake, dazed but relatively unhurt on the ground, quickly rolls and runs out of the way of the fight, flaming missiles destroying cargo behind her as she flips and uses her semblance to dodge then retreats behind more containers. Xero Then Unsummons his weapons and summons Red hill to the fight swinging the blade on Roman who Blacks again.
Xero: Oum You good.
Roman: Well Blue I don't want to get hurt.
Xero then strikes with Red hill again only for Roman to Counter the attack.
Ruby: (off-screen) "Hey!"
Ruby appears on the rooftop overlooking them, Crescent Rose extended and ready for action.
Roman: (losing interest in Xero, waving) "Well, hello, Red! Isn't it past your bedtime?"
Penny: (approaching Ruby) "Ruby, are these people your friends?"
Ruby: (looking behind her) "Penny, get back!" (while her attention is diverted, Roman snarls and fires his cane at her, launching the young Huntress-in-training back from the explosion's force and sending her scythe flying away) "AAAAAH!"
Roman gives off a professional-level evil laugh at his attack on the young girl. Penny turns her head toward the criminal and gives her first glare, walking forward while Ruby tries to get back up. Omega Runs in Summons Bull and runs in and shooting fang members in there legs.
Ruby: "Penny, wait! Stop!" (she raises her hand in a futile attempt to stop her)
Penny: "Don't worry, Ruby. I'm combat ready!"
Her backpack mechanically opens up, and from its dark depths comes a single sword that extends and multiples into several blades hovering over Penny's back. Leaping from the rooftop with the weapons acting as wings, she sends three of her swords to knock two White Fang soldiers down before even landing on the ground, where she proceeds to fling the swords at one enemy, impale another to a wall, create a barrier of spinning steel against a running attack, leaping over a goon with her swords in tow, and finally making a wheel that she throws to knock multiple Faunus off their feet.
Omega: I see.
Three Bullheads come from the skies and open fire on the battle, but Penny merely forms a shield and launches two of her swords into the wall behind her, which in turn pull their wielder back with their strings. When her swords swirl around her again, she commands them to open their points and build up a large glowing ball of green light. With a punching action, several bright lasers crack the pavement when they fire at the transports and slice each one in half, causing several of the White Fang members inside to fall and letting Ruby watch as Bullheads fall in pieces behind her.
Stunned, she turns back to Penny as she aims her swords at the remaining Bullheads holding the crate of Dust and pulls back on their wires, tugging the aircraft with them.
Ruby: (watching in awe) "Whoa... How is she doing that?"
Seeing the Bullhead's flight fall under Penny's control, Roman grimaces and turns to run towards the last transport.
Penny, after her large green pupils dilate for a second, pulls with all her might on the strings, and the aircraft crashes into a stack of crates, causing an explosion as a result.
Roman: (watching from the safety of his escape) "These kids just keep getting weirder..." (with his observation made, Before dodging the Sawer Xero threw at him, he uses his cane to close the doors, and the jet lifts off, flying away from the lost battle)
Xero: FUCK!
Kary-08: oof. (hugs Penny again) you did good Sis.
Penny: Aww
Later, a handful of police cars are at the docks, where Ruby, Blake, Sun, Penny, Kary-08, Omega and a Pissed off Xero are sitting on boxes in silence. That is, until Weiss, Askad and Yang appear on the scene.
Ruby: (speaking quickly to explain the situation) "Look Weiss, it's not what you think, she explained the whole thing. See, she doesn't actually have a bow, she has kitty ears and they're actually kind of cute..." (Weiss ignores her and squares off with Blake)
Blake: (calmly looking her down) "Weiss, I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when I was with the-"
Weiss: "Stop! Do you have any idea of how long we've been searching for you?" (she pauses) "Twelve hours. That means I've had twelve hours to think about this. And in that twelve hours, I've decided..."
Yang, Sun, and Ruby look on, worried. Xero was still Pissed off but is listening to the conversation.
Weiss: "I don't care."
Xero just smiles since it's the answer Blake is only going to get
Blake: (surprised) "You don't care?"
Weiss: "You said you're not one of them anymore, right?"
Blake: "No, I-I haven't been since I was younger-"

Blake: (looking at Ruby and Yang grinning at her, she wipes a tear from her eye, nodding) "Of course."
Weiss smiles and nods. The moment is serious for a second more until Ruby screams:
Ruby: (waving her arms wildly) "Yeah! Team RWBY is back together!"
Weiss: (as the five gather with each other, she points accusingly at Sun) "I'm still not quite sure about how I feel about you!" (Sun laughs nervously)
Ruby: (looking around) "Hey, wait a minute... Where's Penny?"
Kary-08: Oh her Sopher is here.
From the darkened back seat of a limo, Penny watches the group of friends reuniting with each other.
Penny's Driver: (off-screen) "You should know better than to go running around in a strange city. Good thing Askad and Kary-08 where there."
Penny: (lowering her head, sadly) "I know, sir. It was nice to see them again"
Penny's Driver: (off-screen, as the car drives off from the scene) "Penny, your time will come..."
