the scene opens with the clanks of turning gears found over the headmaster's office, with Professor Ozpin himself walking back to his desk and pouring himself a drink from his teapot as he watches the Vytal Festival Tournament's roulette system deciding the next match.
Oobleck: (over the broadcast) Alright, it's now time to begin the randomization process for our next fight!
Port: It looks like our first contender is... Penny Polendina, from Atlas! And her opponent will be... Pyrrha Nikos, from Beacon!
Ozpin seats himself behind his desk and takes a sip from his cup as he stares at the "randomized" fight to be.
Down in the arena of Amity Colosseum, Pyrrha is still looking hesitant and distracted while Penny politely salutes her opponent.
Penny: (hands on her hips in excitement) Sal-u-tations, Pyrrha Nikos! It's an honor to finally meet you!
The troubled Pyrrha doesn't respond, looking at her hands as she clenches them in attempted determination.
Penny: (not noticing Pyrrha's reluctance) This is going to be so much fun!
In the same structure behind closed doors, Ruby Rose is still facing down an up-and-standing Mercury Black, who's smugly smiling at the younger girl's confusion.
Ruby: Mercury, what are you doing? You were hurt! Why... (narrows her eyes in suspicion) What's going on? (Mercury doesn't answer, still grinning with malice) Fine. If you're not going to tell me... (she attempts to move around him, but he blocks her path, then does it again when she sidesteps)
Oobleck: (over the announcement system to draw Ruby's attention away) Fighters, are you ready?
Mercury smirks.
Penny beams widely in anticipation, but Pyrrha is still looking around as if in a daze, though she manages a small scowl at her opponent, her weapons Miló and Akoúo̱ already in hand.
Oobleck: (counting down as General James Ironwood calmly sits to observe the fight, Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren cheer for their teammate while Jaune Arc simply watches anxiously, and Emerald Sustrai leans forward with a glare) 3, 2, 1... (Oobleck leans forward) BEGIN!
Suddenly, Penny is surrounded by Floating Array, gesturing the swords around to her command before launching a volley of them at Pyrrha, who runs towards them and leaps though or deflects each aimed blade. The swords fly into the air until they turn around and come back to the fight.
Pyrrha, now having returned the shield to her back, twirls the javelin to block each sword swipe of Penny's, dropping her weapon when she needs to somersault away after being hit by a slash, only to magnetically return it to her hand as Penny readies another wave of blades.
Port: My word! What a tremendous display by Miss Polendina!
Fully glowering, Pyrrha rushes forward and jumps on an incoming sword, swinging down on Penny, only to have the assault halted by a collection of blades, though she leaps away from the retaliatory slice as Penny backs away as well. She tries to defend against the multitude of swords with the length of her weapon, but is forced back regardless, prompting Pyrrha to roll the shield from her back onto her arm with her polarity.
Nora: (cheering with her arms wide alongside a fist-pumping Ren and worried Jaune) Whoo, yeah! Goooo Pyrrha!
Despite the cheers, Pyrrha isn't doing well, looking down to see her Semblance's black energy bend the weapons in her hands unnaturally for a split second. Emerald narrows her gaze further, continuing to concentrate on Pyrrha.
Ruby attempts to block a kick from Mercury with her arms, but gets a face-full of boot. Soon A Red blur Passes Both Ruby and Mercury. It appears that Omega was using his semblance To get to Emerald.
Pyrrha spins wildly as she deflects and dodges each sword, until she gets close enough to Penny to deliver a few slashes with the spear, sending her flying back as Pyrrha bats aside the blades called to their wielder's aid. Penny slides to a stop and makes a new series of motions, the weapons folding up until she's circled by several laser rifles, a few of which open fire on the approaching champion. Pyrrha avoids the blasts and fights off the remaining swords with her blade until she slides into position to charge at Penny and knock her back. Pyrrha straightens with a victorious grin that disappears into dizziness, just as she sees Penny rocketing forward, weapons firing behind her like a jetpack so she can leap into the air, then come down as an energized meteor on her opponent.
Rolling back to her feet, Pyrrha doesn't expect a sword to knock her shield off, then another to do the same for her blade. She tries to get the latter back with her magnetism, but has to use the power to send a flying sword back at Penny's side. It disappears behind Penny, only for her to grin and raise her arms as several appear above her, aimed to strike.
With Emerald still squinting down on the arena, the sharp sound of Emerald's Semblance is heard as Penny's eight swords double, then triple, multiplying into an unreal thicket of blades. Soon Omega is behind her. Her focus is stopped when she hears the teleportation sound and Feels Joy's barrel on the head.
Omega: Now. Your coming with me
But to Omegas eyes It was too late as each blade ok Pennies was sent reeling back to her, who is also unintentionally affected by the Semblance attack clutching her chest in pain. Pyrrha only has a brief moment to understand what's happening before Penny's arms are spread wide as she gasps, the strings attached to her own weapons curling around her left arm and midsection, which are crumpled by the force with the ease of an aluminum can.
There is a moment of darkness, cut by the wire slicing through the electronics in Penny's torso to reveal a shocked Pyrrha, and the entire stadium watching the now unmoving swords drop to the ground. A piece of fabric flutters to the arena floor, only to be pinned by the point of a falling blade, away from the torn halves of Penny Polendina.
Pyrrha stares in abject horror, eyes wide and mouth agape.
Port: (straightening in shock at the revelation alongside Oobleck, and with Ozpin standing up from his chair back at Beacon) No!
While the remains of Penny's missing arm spark with electricity from the exposed wiring inside, her big green irises, now looking like camera shutters, slowly expand so her dark, lifeless pupils take up most of her eyes with the sound of a machine shutting down. Omega Slams Emerald In the head Knocking her out. Saying he was mad was truly more of an understatement then Cinders. He was truly Livid more then usual. Omega Then picks up Emerald Uses his semblance to Exit the arena as Ruby finally sees what has happened. Penny was dead. And the fall begins.
In an Atlas laboratory, a balding white-bearded man watches the live footage on the news, his hand gripping the armrest of his chair tightly. The crowds are still terrified by the sight, and miles away in Mountain Glenn, Grimm of all kinds turn toward the Colosseum, and begin to charge.
Oobleck: (putting a hand up to his ear) Broadcast, what are you doing? Kill the feed!
Broadcast Op: (over the earpiece) Something's wrong! We don't have control of the cameras! We can't even stop the broadcast!
Oobleck: What!? How is that possible!?
In answer, the background behind the two teachers changes to the video feed of the sight before them, tinted an ominous bright red with a black queen chess piece hovering over the scene. They turn back to the arena as a familiar voice rings out throughout the Colosseum and the rest of the world watching these events.
Cinder: This is not a tragedy. This was not an accident. This is what happens when you hand over your trust, your safety, your children, to men who claim to-
Cinder is then Cut off the Sound system as Askads Symbol appears in the arena everywhere and Cinders Scroll. She was mad
Askad: That is enough you monster. As much as I hate to say this. This is indeed an Tragedy. But Not to fear. all of you are huntsmen and huntresses. I am Askad Fall. The Sister of Cinder fall. The Person who did this is not my sister yet she carries her name. My sister was kind and would do anything to help a person. The One who Cuase this is a monster in a human body. The Monster Stole my sister and I intend to fight it alone. With or without my gear.
Pyrrha continues to stare at the remains of Penny in dread and guilt. Lips parting as she raises a hand to cover her mouth. Then her eyes start watering, a single tear falling. Back in the fairgrounds, a gaping Weiss Schnee and Blake Belladonna watch the hacked screen of the Shopkeep's stall. The owner and several others including Roy Stallion are gathered nearby. Blake's expression becomes a glare as the speech continues.
Askad: I wish for you to stand and fight. But if you wish to leave, Then It's ok. You life is on the line if you do this. But I can agree the headmasters will need the help. Atlas itself can not hold the line without Huntsmen and huntresses either pro and in training.
The two teammates share a look before the last member of RWBY, Yang Xiao Long, is seen hunching over her windowsill listening to the speech before she straightens and turns as Zwei barks behind her.
Askad: Time to Show This monster what happens when you mess with a part of Remant.
Soon The feared ones Become confidant and cheer for Askad. He smiles before grabbing his Knife and putting it in his sheath.
Askad: Now for Omega and Xero. I have give you Complete authorization of your weapons. All of your old and new tech is in your cervical armors. Lead these people into battle.
Omega and Xero smile. Then He stands up
Omega: IS EVERYONE READY
They cheer.
Omega: Xero.
Xero: Do the Honors
Soon Deira and Eve walk to the side of there boyfriends. everyone get's there weapons as a Nevermore Pecks at the shield dome breaking it. The Nevermore never stood a chance. Soon every Huntsmen and women in training Walks up behind Omega and Xero. and with that Omega and Xero say there lines as Omega Summons Artic Empress and Xero Light arrow.
Omega: HEAVEN OR HELL
Xero: LET'S ROCK
Everyone in the arena roars As Port and Oobleck go to the arena and fight.
In the headmaster's office, Ozpin is gripping his cane tight, watching the city come under attack with a horrified expression.
Qrow: (running in with Glynda Goodwitch) Oz!
Ozpin: (turning to them) Get to the city!
Qrow: But-
Ozpin: (resolutely) NOW!
Qrow and Glynda exchange a look before going back the way they came. Meanwhile, Mountain Glenn is almost silent, as every monster lurking there from Beowolves to Boarbatusks, Ursai and Nevermores, and even lumbering Goliaths with wide red eyes rush forward.
Ironwood: (back at the Colosseum watching the Nevermore attack the shields until he answers his Scroll, stammering) Ozpin, the girl... I-I can explain!
Ozpin: (gravely) You brought your army to my Kingdom, James. (a beat, then angrily) Use it.
Soon Askad Enters the headmaster office
Ozpin: Askad (he looks to see the knife in his Sheath) Are you sure you can do it.
Askad: No. But it's better to try
Ozpin smiles at the determination and leaves. Askad then Gose to Ozpins chair and sits in it and texting Verda To Not to worry about him. and he has to fight his demons. Verda texts back saying it's ok and to come back in one piece. Askad Knowing he will die say I'll try before crying. he soon moves the chair to the front of the chaos with tears in his eyes. but keeps his Signature straight face.
Atlas Ship Captain: Dammit! (speaking into his Scroll as he turns to the screen of data) This is Blue Four! Blues Two and Three, fall into defensive position!
Blue Three: (over the Scroll) Roger! Blue Three, in position!
Atlas Ship Captain: Blue Two, what's your status? (no response) Blue Two, come in! Someone answer me, dammit!
He doesn't know that the bridge of the last ship is wrecked, computers sparking and men down as a pair of high boots walk through the destruction. Dressed in an Atlas uniform and holding both Hush and Melodic Cudgel with a feathered hat on top, Neopolitan opens the door of a familiar-looking cell with a devious grin.
Roman: Well... it's about time... (leans out of the shadows and into the light)
Cut to outside the Airships, where the furthest craft suddenly turns towards its allies and fires several bright red lasers at the engine of the one closest to it.
Atlas Ship Captain: We're hit! What's going- (before he can finish speaking the flaming ship crashes into another in a series of explosions and sends both of them tumbling toward the waters below.)
Roman: (laughing manically at the controls as Neo watches from the side) Woo-hoohahahaha! Oohh, it is good to be back!
Finally, at Beacon's cliffside landing platforms, three Bullheads arrive, the middle one opening its hatch to reveal four members of the White Fang, and their leader.
Adam: Bring them to their knees!
Another Bullhead opens its door, this time with several creatures of Grimm inside. A growling Ursa jumps from it and lands on Academy grounds. The foreboding scene darkens as the Ursa's roar echoes, leaving only the burning red eyes of the monster, until they too disappear
