(Blake, Jaune and Sun are seen in the cafe as they are drinking.)

Jaune: So you're a faunus. Okay, why did you hide such cute ears all along?

Blake: (blushes) Remember when you said... you did things you weren't proud of?

Jaune: Well, I said it hours ago, so...

Blake: It's about White Fang...

Sun: Well, 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: I was once a member of the White Fang.

Jaune: (eyes widen) WHAT?

(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.)

Jaune: YOU were with 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.

(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 the stunned Jaune and 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. 

Jaune: And if you're here, this means...

(Blake looks down in shame.)

Jaune: (sighs) Thought so...

(Meanwhile, Blake and Jaune's teammates are seen looking for them.)

Ruby: Blaaaaaaaake!

Pyrrha: Jaaaaaaune!

Ruby: (continuing to scream) Blaaaaaaaake! Where aaaare yoooouuuu!?

Nora: Jaaaaaaaaune! If you show up I promise I won't eat your pancakes!

Ruby: (turning on Weiss) Weiiiiss, you're not helping!

Weiss: Oh! You know what might be able to help? The police!

Nora: (crossing her arms in irritation) Ugh, Weiss...

Weiss: It was just an idea!

Pyrrha: (walking down the sidewalk) Yeah, a bad one.

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!

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.

Pyrrha: And Jaune.

Penny: Ooooh, you mean the faunus girl and the former Arc.

Ruby: Wait, how did you know that?

Penny: Uhh, the cat ears and the logotype? (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.)

Ruby: (whispering) She does like tuna a lot...

Pyrrha: And Jaune always hated when someone brought his family up.

Penny: So, where are they?

Ruby: We don't know. They've 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 teammates!

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 the girls, 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!

(Back to Jaune, Sun and Blake, they go to the alleyway as a dimensional gap suddenly opens, revealing Kaito Kumon.)

Kaito: So this is where Decade is hiding, huh?

Jaune: Uh-Oh...

Sun: What do you mean "Uh-Oh"?

Blake: (whispers) Whoever is this guy, he's after Jaune.

Sun: But why?

(Kaito sees Jaune with the Neo Decadriver in his waist.)

Kaito: Found you!

Jaune: Step back, guys. He's mine to deal with. (pulls out a card) Henshin!

KAMEN RIDE: DECADE!

(Jaune becomes Kamen Rider Decade.)

Sun: (surprised) He's that pink Kamen Rider?

Decade: (glares at Sun) Pink janai magenta da!!

Sun: Huh?

Kaito: He said "It's magenta, not pink", dumbass.

Sun: What did you just call me?

Kaito: What's wrong, monkey boy? Gonna cry?

(Sun charges at Kaito, who easily dodges the attack before placing the Sengoku Driver in his waist and pulling out a Lockseed.)

BANANA!

(He places the lockseed in his Driver.)

LOCK ON!

Kaito: Henshin!

COME ON! BANANA ARMS! KNIGHT OF SPE~AR!

(Kaito becomes Kamen Rider Baron and kicks Sun down.)

Baron: My fight is with Decade!

Decade: (pulls out a card) Time for a clash of weapons!

KAMEN RIDE: BLADE! TURN UP!

(Decade becomes Blade, and both he and Baron charge at each other 

Decade (Blade): Narutaki sent you here?

Baron: Who? He? No. I'm only here to obtain your power, Decade!

(They clash their blades until Decade (Blade) gains the upper hand and slashes him three times. Baron then pulls out the Mango Lockseed.)

LOCK OFF!

MANGO!

LOCK ON!

COME ON! MANGO ARMS! FIGHT OF HAM~MER!

(Baron changes forms and charges at Decade (Blade) again as he swings his Mango Punisher at him, bringing him down as he prepares to defeat him.)

Baron: Such power doesn't belong to you!

MANGO SQUASH!

(Decade (Blade) pulls out a card and places it on his Driver.)

ATTACK RIDE: MACH!

(Decade (Blade) dashes, dodging his attack in time.)

Baron: (shocked) What?

Decade (Blade): (shows up) My turn! 

(Decade (Blade) pulls out a Final Attack Ride card and inserts it on his Driver.)

FINAL ATTACK RIDE: B-B-B-BLADE!

MANGO SQUASH!

(They clash their weapons again as another sound is heard.)

IMPULSE GENOME EDGE!

(Juuga summons a purple nervy Brachiosaurus tail to attack with, striking Baron multiple times, forging him out of his transformation.)

Juuga: You don't belong in here, Kaito Kumon!

(Then the dimensional gap opens up and someone catches Kaito, pulling him inside of it.)

Decade (Blade): What is Narutaki planning next?

Juuga: We can worry about it later. Blake and Sun are heading to the warehouse as we speak.

(Feeling that Blake might be in danger, Jaune quickly goes to search for her, and Juuga follows him as the screen fades out.)
