Nighttime at a forest clearing. A Mistral airship can be seen landing. The doors open, revealing its occupant as Neopolitan and Roma who drop their disguise and Neo revealed to be wearing a new outfit.

She looks to see someone step out of the forest, revealed to be Cinder along with Mercy and Emerald also sporting some new clothes except Mercy:

(Ignore the eye patch)

 Cinder stops to inspect the airship.

Cinder: It should get us to Solitas. After that, you might want to try materializing yourself some snow boots. (continues walking)

Neo rolls her eyes at Cinder's remark. She steps out of the airship and holds her hand out, and Cinder stops walking and has an irritated look on her face. Neo then places her hand on the airship and uses her Semblance to transform it into an Atlesian Manta aircraft. Cinder smiles at this. She then retracts the disguise and snaps her fingers with a smirk on her face.

Cinder: You know, Neo, someone once asked me if I believed in destiny.

The four of them board the airship.

Cinder: And I'm happy that my destiny has changed to something greater.

The four smile as the airship's door closes.

(Meanwhile)

Back in Argus, multiple Manta aircraft engage in dogfights against Manticores and Sphinxes above the ocean. The Leviathan itself slowly trudges through the water approaching the city. Some aircraft fly by for a gun run on the towering Grimm. The Leviathan, however, simply dives below the ocean and swims.

Air Control: All units, be advised: Leviathan-class Grimm has submerged but is still on approach. Preparing hard-light shields, over!

(At the cliff)

Ruby and her friends overhear the radio chatter with looks of horror on their faces. Cordovin continues to struggle to get the Colossus' out of the cliff face as you come out of Titan.

Manta Two-Two: We're getting slammed by hostiles out here! Where is Cordovin?!

Cordovin: This is your fault! Do you hear me?!

Yang: Ruby!

Yang and Blake can be seen running out of the forest to rejoin the group. Your clone and Eve weren't their.

Ruby: Yang! Blake! Are you okay?

Yang and Blake notice the disabled mech.

Blake: What happened?

The group then hears the Leviathan roaring.

Yang: Was that a giant Grimm?

Pyrrha: Yes... and we just ruined the only thing capable of stopping it...

The group wastes no time boarding the aircraft. You look back at the titan and enter the manta as well. It begins to fly away. Ruby watches with pity as Cordovin continues to struggle to move the mech. Cordovin herself yells out in anger.

Cordovin: This is your fault!! YOUR FAULT!!! This is... (gives up)

Soldier: (over radio) Ma'am, what's your status? We need an answer, over!

Cordovin: ... your fault... (looks down sadly)

(With the team)

Blake: I'm so sorry...

Yang: Don't be. This isn't on you.

Blake: But--

You: You're safe, that's all that matters.

Blake smiles at her lover and the two kiss, you were surprised but sunk in. Ruby looks to Yang and the two share a smile.

Maria: I suppose I have to be the bad guy and say it, getting the lamp to Atlas is still our top priority, and right now we have the perfect opportunity to head straight for it. We may not get another chance like this.

Yang: No way!

Weiss: We can't leave, not like this.

Pyrrha: we have to do something.

Blake: It's like you said, a Huntress is supposed to protect others to the bitter end.

Maria looks to Ruby, who just shrugs and smiles. Maria smiles back and continues to fly.

Ruby: We need to head for the Leviathan. June, can you and Rin be ready to mask our ship?

Rin: I think we can manage.

June: Got a few ideas?

Ruby: I've got one.

Quill: Eyes up, everybody. It's back.

Ruby: y/n think you can make another giant.

You: I could just use the one I got out of.

Ruby: good.

(Meanwhile)

The Leviathan swims for a bit before resurfacing above the water, letting out a terrifying roar.

Manta Three-Four: Argus Base, this is Manta 3-4! Leviathan has hit the shallows and resurfaced! We need those shields up now, over!

From the city, a large crowd gathers as they look out to the ocean with concern. Terra Cotta-Arc and Paige is seen making her way through the crowd, eventually reuniting with her partner Saphron and their son Adrian, before looking out to the ocean again in concern. As the Leviathan approaches Argus, a hard-light Dust barrier is erected, halting its progress.

Manta Two-One: Target stopped! Engaging, over!

A pair of Manta aircraft are seen firing shots at the Leviathan. Suddenly, the Leviathan unleashes an energy beam attack from its mouth. It shifts the beam over to one of the poles powering the hard-light Dust barrier, destroying it. The Leviathan roars.

Ruby and her friends watch in horror from their aircraft.

Octavia: It tore straight through...!

Pyrrha: we need to do something and fast!

Air Control: All squadrons, fall back to evacuation procedures. Disengage Leviathan! I repeat, disengage! Over!

You: No, wait!

You runs up to the radio.

Quill: y/n!

You: We can stop it!

Air Control: Who is this? Identify yourself!

You: I'm a Huntsman. My team and I are heading to the Leviathan and can weaken it for you to attack!

Everyone looks at you in shock.

June: We can?

You: I and Ruby can.

Ruby: yeah, my eyes.

Maria: Ruby, when I said "trial by fire"--

Ruby: I did it at Beacon and at the farm.

Weiss: You really think you can do it now?

Ruby: we don't have a choice.

Air Control: Manta 5-1, your ship is currently flagged as hostile. You will receive no support, over.

You: (picking up radio) Fine, we'll do it alone if we have to.

From her mech, Cordovin overhears your radio chatter.

You: We can hit it while it's stopped at the next barrier. Rin, you're up!

Rin and June proceed to combine their Semblances, masking the airship as it weaves between the air battles between Grimm and Atlas forces. The Leviathan makes its way to the next barrier and charges its energy breath again.

Quill: We're too late! Pull up!

The Manta aircraft pulls up but you jump out of the Manta.

Quill: y/n!

Just as the Leviathan was going to fire a large clawed hand flies and clamps its jaws. Then the limbs of the Titan flies and attach around you. The Titan's eyes glow a red colour and clenched it's claws before punching it up the chin.

You then grabbed it's snout as it claws the arms. You then twist around and throw it up against the barrier. But it swings it's tail breaking the tower.

Rin and June collapse as their Auras are drained. Pyrrha comes to her leaders side holding her up.

June: Damn it...!

Rin: That's all I've got!

Pyrrha: we have to do something.

The leviathan kicks you away sending you back you were going to go back in but a sphinx flies in your faceplate then a manticore hits you in the back. You grabbed one Manticore and threw it at the leviathan but did nothing as it got up and goes to the city.

Blake: It's on the move again! We need to stop it!

Yang: What do we do?

Ruby thinks for a moment, before looking to Weiss.

The Leviathan continues to approach Argus, but suddenly, the aircraft carrying Ruby's group opens up its hatch doors.

Nora: Eyes on us, ugly!

Nora, Pyrrha and Yang fire their respective weapons at the Leviathan.

Blake: Is it working?

Maria: Unfortunately, yes! Hang on!

Blake runs over to Weiss, who is maintaining a Glyph she activated.

Ruby is seen riding on the back of Weiss' Queen Lancer summoning.

Ruby: (to herself) Okay, okay, you can do this... You have to do this!

Eventually, Ruby stops in front of the Leviathan. She closes her eyes and begins to concentrate, the noises all around her slowly muting out.

Yang: Ruby? Ruby, hurry, something--

Ruby takes out her earpiece and tosses it into the water below. She closes her eyes again to concentrate. As she concentrates, Ruby thinks back on various memories:

She thinks of her mothers and sister, when Zwei first arrived at Team RWBY's dorm room, when she and her team are about to start a food fight, and when they get noodles after their victory in the tournament.

She then thinks of Penny, then to when she first saw June, of Team JNPR, 

Suddenly, Ruby starts to frown as bad memories start to flood her mind: when she saw her friends wounded as Beacon was being evacuated, when you look into a mirror and you talking to your reflection as you cried while Ruby hid behind a corner.

Ruby whimpers upon remembering the night at Haven you turned evil aiming a cannon at her and the team

Suddenly, Ruby opens her eyes again and notices the Leviathan standing face to face with her.

Ruby: What?

Yang: Why'd it turn away?!

Ruby then remembers she has the Relic of Knowledge on her belt, which caused the Leviathan to have its attention on her.

Ruby: No, no, no, no!!

Suddenly, the Leviathan opens its maw and lunges toward Ruby...

Ruby: (reeling back) J--JINN!!!

Suddenly, time stops. Everything slows down and freezes, even Yang who calls out her sister's name. And you who just recovered from the small Grimm reached out a claw meters away from the head of the leviathan.

Yang: Ruby!

Ruby then breathes a sigh of relief as she hears the rattling chains of Jinn.

Ruby: I'm sorry... I don't have a question for you. I just... I just needed a little more time...

Ruby looks to Jinn, who has a stern look on her face.

Jinn: I know... and while you don't seek knowledge, just this once, I shall give it freely. I will not allow you to use me without a question again... (smiling) Even if this was clever.

Ruby nods at Jinn. She then turns to face the Leviathan again and closes her eyes to concentrate once more. Time slowly starts to go back to normal.

She thinks back to when Team RWBY decorated their dorm room, when Weiss gave her coffee, when Blake cheered for Weiss in Professor Port's class, when Yang was training her before leaving for Beacon, you hugging her close in sleep, when Team RWBY celebrated their victory after saving Vale.

Ruby smiles as she thinks back to the Beacon Dance and Team JNPR again, and then to when Quill arrived at Beacon, to talking with Octavia, and then to Maria, and to Penny again...

And finally, Ruby thinks back to you kissing her lips, as you two danced at the beacon party, her silver eyes shine as you shine your eyes which briefly shined silver too.

Ruby's own eyes then shine bright, the brightest it has ever been. A massive white light engulfs the area, turning the Leviathan to stone. The citizens of Argus and the Atlas military cheer as the Grimm threat has been nullified. Ruby's friends give proud smiles and Maria breathes a sigh of relief.

The light retracts back into Ruby's eyes, and she turns around to look at the city of Argus still standing. Suddenly, Ruby hears a stone crackling behind her. The Leviathan's head manages to move and tries to aim at Ruby.

Ruby: No...

Cordovin: I'll take it from here!! Or should I see we!

Suddenly, Cordovin shows up in the Colossus, its arm cannon not their. Everyone looks in shock. Without the weight of the cannon, the Colossus begins to run toward the semi-petrified Leviathan. You run from behind

Cordovin: (smiling) After all, I was sworn to protect the people!

You clench the head of the leviathan and opened its mouth and used your other hand and aimed it which started to spin with your fingers zapping energy into the projectile.

The Colossus' left hand then transforms into a giant drill. Cordovin makes the Colossus' jump and hits the Grimm with the drill and you fire a beam in its throat causing it to dissipate. The people of Argus cheer while the Arc/Niko's family looks on with stupefied expressions.

The Colossus then walks over to Ruby. Its cockpit opens up revealing Cordovin herself standing in a stern military manner.

Ruby: Thank you. And... I'm sorry.

Cordovin: The Atlas military can handle the stragglers.

Ruby: What, uh... What are you saying?

Cordovin: (smiling) I'm saying I don't think anyone would notice if one more ship went missing in my lengthy report.

Ruby smiles back at Cordovin, who then turns the mech around and runs off to join her men in taking down the remaining Grimm.

You : hey Cord you wouldn't happen to have room for another giant in that fight.

Cordovin: I can handle it but, you have friends to protect.

(Later)

We now see an airship that you, Ruby and your friends are in, flying through the night sky.

Maria: We should have just enough fuel to make it.

Ruby: Thanks, Miss Calavera.

Quill: Hey, Ruby. You did great out there today, kid and you to y/n. Just don't go giving me heart attacks like that again.

Quill is about to take a drink from her flask, but ultimately decides not to. Ruby and you hug the greatest Aunt to have ever live

You: we love you aunt Quill.

Quill smiles at her niece and boyfriend as they walks away to join her friends.

Maria: You weren't half bad yourself today, Quill.

Quill: (smiles before sighing) I feel like they did all the heavy lifting.

Maria: But you were there to help when they asked for it, and you were there to catch them when they fell. Literally, if I recall.

Quill: Thanks. You know, it was pretty incredible getting to see the Grimm Reaper in action.

Maria: Ha, you should have seen me when I was not perceived dead!

Quill smiles as the two of them look out the cockpit's window to the night sky.

In the back of the aircraft, Weiss, Blake and Yang sit together.

Weiss: I'm sorry you went through that nightmare. But, I'm glad Yang was there for you in time.

Blake and Yang look at you and you look to them and gave them a wink. They smile before the Yang takes the cat Faunus' hand.

Yang: We were there for each other.

Nora: Took the words right out of my mouth.

Everyone then looks to Ruby and you

Ruby: Hey, stop it!

Rin: You petrified a Leviathan..

Pyrrha:  after y/n piloted a giant golem to stop a mech

Ruby: (laughs) Don't act like you all haven't done crazy stuff before!

You: like how, Octavia made a successful crash landing! She's a fourteen-year-old farm girl!

June: That was seriously impressive.

Blake: We'd have been stranded without you.

Octavia: I... thanks, but... I've been meaning to tell you guys... I didn't land the ship on my own.

Octavia thinks back to when the airship was about to crash land.

(Earlier the day)

Octavia: We're gonna crash! We're gonna CRASH!!

Ozpina: Stay calm, it's going to be okay.

(Now)

Nora: Ozpina took control?!

Octavia: No, she guided me... And then she was gone again...

Yang: Does that mean she's been watching us this whole time?

Octavia: I don't know, but... it at least means she was looking out for us.

Everyone ponders this revelation before Quill speaks up.

Quill: Hey, if you've never seen Atlas in person before, you don't wanna miss this.

Ruby, you and the  team walk up to the cockpit window.

Ruby: Is it weird that I'm sorta nervous?

Yang: No, I'll believe we've made it to Atlas when I see it.

You: well I might have saw it at a different angle.

Weiss: Well... believe it.

The airship comes out of the clouds, and the floating city of Atlas is seen coming into view.

Nora: Wow!

Pyrrha: beautiful.

Maria: You know, you make the trip up to Atlas over and over, but you never get used to that view. And once I get up their I'll renew my Huntress credentials I'll be back in the game   

Weiss leans forward and has a nervous look on her face. Ruby notices this.

Ruby: Weiss, what is it?

Everyone looks up, and notice above the city of Atlas many Atlas Airships surrounding the city.

Weiss: The Atlas air fleet... I knew all of our ships were called back, but...

You: it's the entire fleet.

Quill: They're set up like they're expecting an attack...

Suddenly, the radio turns on.

Atlas Air Control: Manta 5-1, welcome home...

(Meanwhile)

Hazel is watching out of a window with fear in his eyes. Tyrian then enters the room giggling.

Tyrian: now what has got you shaking.

He looks out the window and laughs

Tyrian: the goddess, now what is our grace up to

A Beringel is seen crawling out of one of the black, tar-like pits, with Salem herself standing close by.

She then uses her magic as Nevermore wings suddenly sprout from the back of the Beringel. The Beringel gets used to its new appendages, before flying up to join many other Beringels also grafted with wings.

Tyrian: beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

Then the door opens and the four team RWBY Grimm Hybrids come out each of them brandishing their own weapons.

S: we are ready.

W: we are Hungry.

Hazel: and what is your objective.

S.W.G.Y: destroy y/n.
