Okay, im not going to do a whole write of RWBY right now because… ugh. I'm just going to break down the seasons and write little synops as to what I think should have happened and then go on from there. I will add on my tweeks and explain why as i go about.
I think like JelloApocolypse suggested, we should basically make Season 1-3 its own 24 30-minute episode season season. Maybe have an hour long premiere and season finale. Here is how I think it should go.
!. Hour long Premiere
So I think the story should open up with an expositional narrative from Ozpin… though let's pretend we don't know it is Ozpin. Let's have him explain the Academies, but as he talks we get to see Beacon Academy and the students interacting in it… like how an anime would. Then we introduce Ruby and Yang.
We get an expositional Yang, her telling her sister how proud she is that she fought Roman Torchwick and made it out alive… like in the Shonen manga. We then get the flashback and we met RWBY and Torchwick… except, i want to spice things up just a little more. I want more Torchwick and Neo. I want them to be the center of attention in this scene. I want Neo holding up the clerk and Torchwick checking out the goods as lackies are packing it all up. One lackey bumps into Ruby, causing her to look up from the comic she is reading, look up, and immediately start to take action.
Fight between Neo + Torchwick and Ruby? Hm… maybe that's a little too much. But i do like the idea. The two disappear with a large blast of flame like in the original. We get the talk with Glynda and Ozpin, but in this one… I want Ruby to give the reasoning that she gave in the Shonen Jump manga.
We then return and meet "Puke boy Jaune" cameo. We get Weiss, but in this one i want to exploit her character just a bit she is absolutely pissed. Perhaps we have a faunus character who trips and almost drops some goods, in which weiss stomps on his/her tail and tells her to be careful with the merchandise, snatching it out of their hands. She takes a couple steps then runs into Ruby and Weiss explodes, going on a rant that eventually leads her into berating Ruby for being a child and how she shouldn't even be here. Ruby snaps back at her and offended, Weiss stomps away, yelling at her threatens the faunus that if her stuff isn't unloaded in the next fifteen minutes there won't be a tail to step on.
We meet blake, her comforting the faunus and Ruby and telling her not to worry about Weiss before turning away. I think we should get something a little more from this exchange, maybe looking at the book Blake is reading "The lost soul" which Ruby says is a "heartbreaking tale of an orphan who was lead astray after a rebellion". Blake then leaves.
I like the Lancaster moment with Ruby and Jaune so let's keep it. We then met Ozpin once more, him giving a speech about huntsmans and what it means to be one. I want it to be dramatic and strong, he dismisses everyone to sleep on his words for tomorrow they will be putting their resolve to the test.
Yang meets Blake and Weiss like normal, except i want Weiss to be super bitchy. I want Weiss to basically be complaining about having to room with Velvet and the others. But i want a line like "great, was worried about sleeping at home because faunus can slit my throat anytime… now I'm surrounded by them" or something. This leads on to that she gets attacked plenty.
The next morning, we meet Nora who basically is ecstatic about pancakes for breakfast, although they aren't as good as Ren's pancakes and how she wants to be on a team with Ren and wants to have a pancake party when the teams are picked and settled in which Ren simply just nods. Jaune hitting on Weiss and meeting Pyrrha via hitting on Weiss. I want Jaune to show interested in Pyrrha… maybe calling her "Firecracker" and suggesting that the girls be his "Fire and Ice". While Weiss shoots him down, Pryahha answers with a "we'll see."
We get the cliff scene and all the forest scenes with nitpicks. After burning down the forest, I want Ruby to call out Weiss's additude. We then get Weiss yelling about how "some of us had to actually work to get in. Some of us studied, failed, and tried harder to get in. some of us bleed through the nose to get here." and then we get a flashback of Weiss's trailer, this brings attention to the scar on her eye. We also get to meet team CRDL. I want Cardin sending in someone into the caves, which catches Pryhha's attention which cause Jaune and Pryhha to go in after him.
We get the Nevermore fight and the Deathstalker fight but instead of Jane being useless, I want him to be the strategist from the very get go. I also want Team CRDL getting a fight too but something lame and easily put into the background. Actually, im kinda fine just seeing them hold back a monster while we see everyone else fight.
We end the premiere with everyone being assigned to their team.
Episode 2
I want this episode to start with all of team RWBY running down the hall, almost late to class. Weiss growls about how she can't believe that they all stood up late trying to make bunk beds, which we get a flashback of them arguing about them. We get a small exchange of Jane offering a seat next to him to Weiss, but she ignores him. Pryhha asks if she could have the seat instead.
We meet Professor Pot, who gives us a lecture and teaches us about Grimm, then asking Weiss to demonstrate. I want the scene with Ruby and Weiss, except after Weiss wins, she storms out upset. Professor pot then ends the lecture early.
We get the lectures from Ozpin and Professor Pot, leaving the to to think. We also get a little scene of Jaune practicing his sword fighting moves all by himself with Pryhha watching. She winces at his bad stance and almost steps out to help him but stops herself and walks away.
Later, Ruby comes and invites Weiss to join her and the rest of the team for pancakes with team JNPR which she denies with the excuse that she needed to study. Ruby looks disappointed but then asks if she can stay and study with her. Weiss thinks for a moment, and then goes… "Fine."
Episode 3
We start with Glynda explaining how aura and everything works while Jaune and Cardin fights. We see that Jaune is good in self defense and is strong enough to push Cardin back but is weak at execution and loses. His is when Pryhha reaches out to Jaune and asks if they would like to spar but Jaune responds with a "I don't think I could stand hitting a pretty girl like you" to deflect her. He then gets shoved by Cardin into a locker.
Later, we see Jaune practicing once more, where he is called out by Cardin about his weapon and how weak he is compared to literally everyone else, "even the faunus with a camera," he says. We get Pryhha coming to Jaune's rescue in which he goes off on her about how he can handle himself.
We get another Lancaster moment about what it means to be a leader and what it takes to become a good one, which Ruby confides in Jaune ending with "we aren't good leaders now… but we will get there."
We get the scene in the cafeteria where everyone calls out how Jaune has been getting picked on by Cardin and Jaune again justifies that Cardin is just a jerk, which everyone looks over at Cardin pulling on Velvet's ears as everyone watches and says nothing. Blake however, gets up and defends Velvet, despite Velvet's pleas not to. This ends with mash potatoes getting all over Blake from Cardin in a "what are you going to do, faunus-lover"?
He returns to Pryhha and apologizes, confiding in her about his transcripts and asking Pryhha if she is still willing to spar with him which she agrees. We then pan off to Neo taking care of some business with Torchwick standing idly by and enjoying a smoke. He tells Neo "good job my dear" and everything goes balck.
Episode 4
This episode we get to meet Professor Oobleck who teaches us about faunus. He springs on questions around the class, either not giving anyone the time the answer or catching them off guard so they don't.
He ten assigns a paper, apiring everyone off into teams. He selects Blake and Cardin together and Velvet and Jaune. I chose this because it like to expand on Velvet and how basically both Velvet and Jaune are going through the same situation for different reasons. I want Velvet to be the one talking to Jaune about standing up to Cardin. As for Blake and Cardin, i want Blake to serve as an awakening. Something like Cardin trying to pawn of their report on her and argues that faunus are inferior to humans and Blake challenging him, I want the scene with Pyrrha when she takes on all of team CRDL… except Blake in Pryhha's place. She then suggest he picks up a book.
Later we get the bee sap scene, but instead of their target being Pryhha, it's either Velvet or Blake. Why? Because I really want to run it home tha JNPR AND RWBY ARE FRIENDS. The show needs to stress this badly. Really Really Badly. So, this scene happens and plays out the same why it did in the original. We learn Pryhha's semblance and Jane gets out of the bully arc.
Episode 5
Vytal festival fever has reached the streets of beacon… and unfortunately, so has crime. We here students whispering about how there is going to be more Atlas military this year, how some dust shops have been busted into, and how some people have spotted guys in grimm masks walking around at night. As the girls walk down the street, they talk about going to a cafe only to stop and see the said dust shop being investigated. Weiss bets that it was faunus, pointing out that "guys in masks" sounds like white fang members which causes Blake to lash out about how not all faunus are bad people.
We then meet Sun, a stowaway on a shi[p, who also steals a banana from a produce stand and books it down the street, save a flittageous wink to Blake. Weiss turns with a "you were saying?" which causes Blake to storm off. Ruby berates Weiss for this and they split up to look for her.
We get Ruby meeting Penny one on one, Blake going to the bookstore and meeting Tucstun, and I think here, Yang is looking at the picture of Raven that she had in the yellow short and we should put in Yang's "yellow" short as a flashback. Yang is then snapped out of it, muttering to herself "not all people in masks are white fang."
When all of them make it back into the dorm, Weiss and Blake begins to argue. We get an estimate on how long this argument has been going on by the clock on the wall next to the window. Let's say it goes on for about 3 hours before Weiss reveals that "yes. I hate faunus, but who wouldn't when all they do is steal from you and slaughter your family!" before she turns away and explains herself. Instead of Black yelling i think it should be delivered as a whimper "Maybe we were tired of being pushed around. Maybe we just want to be treated like people." before running away.
We get a Blake taking off her bow and Sun's "I knew you'd look better without it."
Episode 6
This episode starts with Blake and Sun at the cafe, Blake asking Sun why he dragged her here. Sun tells her that she looks like she needed to talk and that he likes to listen… when it matters. She vaguely tells him of her days as an Whte Fang member and briefly mentions Adam, but not by name. We get a flashback of the Black trailer and then we continue where to her interrogation with Ozpin.
Sun then states that perhaps, the two of them go to on a stake to then to make sure that the White Fang aren't behind this. Blake is skeptical at first, but then agrees.
We return to the room where Ruby insists going off to find Blake, where Yang and Weiss decline. While Yang isn't into the idea of looking for Blake, se isn't into being into a room with Weiss either, so she goes out.
I think that Yang should bump into either Jaune or Pyrrha in this instance, but my reasonings behind it being these two are… meh. For Jaune, he has seven sister in which he could tell a tale about how "no matter what, you're supposed to be there fore family" and try to express that she would need to trust Blake. Or even telling Yang about how he was lying to his team due to pride and sympathizing with Blake and recounting his time with Velvet. This will be good ground. Or Yang bumping into Pryhha who tells her about her time as a star and how everyone treated her as if she wasn't a person but how she has solace in beacon, now being treated as such. Either character seems right by me.
Weiss, on the other hand, should be visited by Velvet or Fox, who apparently heard the 3-hour long argument that went on in there room. It is them who reminds her that not all faunus are bad people or have ill intentions. That perhaps Blake had moe to her then being a faunus and that she should be able to explain herself. Either character will do, just to give them screen time.
Ruby finds herself on the streets before bumping into Penny once more. Penny greets her, peering into a costume shop. She asks Ruby to join her in finding a new outfit for the festival. As they shop, Ruby spots some cat ear headbands and asks Penny on her thoughts which Penny replies, "Is Blake your friend? If yes, what else matters? Is she not still Blake?"
We end the episode with Blake and Sun's witty banter during their stake out and them finding out that the White Fang has teamed up with Torchwick…
Episode 7
Blake jumps into action, restraining Torchwick reasoning and pleading to her brethren only for it to fall of deaf ears. A fight rings out and Torchwick nearly escapes, Blake and Sun hot on their trail.
Ruby and Penny sees a commotion, causing them to leap into action but not before Penny gets in touch with the authorities. As they run, Ruby is almost hit by a trailer cart that was tumbling her way before Penny stops it, revealing that she is not a normal girl.
Torchwick fights with Ruby again, addressing her as "Red" and mocks her for being a child as usual. The fight continues like in the original, Weiss and Yang both come in at the final moment and hugs Blake, Weiss gives her little speech. Ruby turns to thanks Penny, where she only comes to find a bag with the word "Salutations" on it. Her eyes shine when she looks inside of it.
We pan to the bookstore where Mercury and Emerald make their first appearance with the implied murdering of Tungsten.
We then pan back to the RWBY and JNPR where Blake reveals to them that she's a faunus which Nora breaks the ice with "No way! You gotta be Kitten me!" Everyone looks at her and then laughs. Ruby pulls out the bag, handing everyone a pair of cat ears, telling blake that "now she won't stand out."
Episode 8
We start with team JNPR all training. We see that Jaune is now caught up with his teammates, thanks to training with all of them. We get an offhand comment about Pryhha being distracted which she replied that "there just been something weighing on her mind. We then get to scene where she had talked to Ozpin about becoming the Fall maiden as a flashback, which is cut off with Jaune placing his hand on her shoulder and asking her if she would want to talk about it but she declines.
Everyone gets mail from their family, in which Jaune gets an exaggeratedly long letter from all 7 of his sisters, Pryhha gets a letter from her mother, and Ren and Nora get nothing. We get the explanation that they are orphans after a horrible accident happened in their childhood from Ren. Nora squeezes his hand to comfort him which he takes.
Then we get the moment between Jaune and Ren where Jaune pulls Ren out of the shower to talk to him about "girl problems" remarking about how Ren made it look super easy and how he and Nora are practically married. Ren isn't fazed by this accusation and simply replies with how he knows that Jaune is a "good guy" and that when the time comes, he will make the right call like he always does. The two smile at each other, hands on each other's shoulder and then the moment is then ruined by Nora and Pryhha.
We end with a message from Qrow warning Ozpin that "the queen has pawns" and Glydia asking if they made the right choice choosing Pyrrha. Ozpin remarks that she wasn't the only option but she was the safest then see a raven outside the window fly away.
Episode 9
It is now confirmed that Tungsten is dead, Blake watching the news story on her scroll with bloodshot eyes as he is labeled "an ex-criminal fauna" due to him helping people who want to leave the white fang escape. Yang tries to consul her but Blake isn't having any of it.
We then get team RWBY and Professor Ooblek going out on an expedition, as a punishment for "intervening in matters that they were not a part of". Here, we get the story of Yang and how she almost killed Ruby looking for her mom, Blake and her mentor, Adam, who has gotten lost in the rebellion, and Weiss and her father telling her that he married her mother purely for the company on her birthday. I chose this to cement trust between the three
We get the lecture about Grimm from Professor Oobleck to Ruby, remarking that "it is sad that they can learn to adapt and change without having to suffer. Man surely has a long way to go." Ruby asks Professor Oobleck why he had become a huntsman, which he replies that he wanted to know everything and anything that he desired and it was through Ozpin that he can work forward towards that goal.
We then are introduced to Cinder, where she threatens Roman after hearing of his previous failure. Neo doesn't take too kindly to this,almost attacking Cinder if not for Emerald and Mercury.
Team RWBY and the Professor return just at the same time that team JNPR and TEAM CFVY returns. Team CFVY seems awestruck, head hanging low while team JNPR returns with Professor Goodwitch.
Episode 10
We open up with a narrative from Cinder asking us "Tell me, what would you do for power?" We get a red flash. We see her meeting Salem for the first time, her addressing her as her "fairy godmother" in their small animation style. Then we see her met Emerald and Mercury, and finally Roman and Neo. A small montage that gives her character… character.
We then see the three of them entering Beacon together, bumping into Ruby. Ruby says, "hey, i haven't seen you around before." and Cinder replies, "no, but I've heard all about you." Mercury fight Pyrhha the next day and We then get insight for her "nefarious" plan.
When then switch gears, Sun introducing team SSNS (SeaSoNS), where Sun is basically hanging off of Neptune and is gushing about how awesome his new friends are, especially Blake. They then see the cafeteria food fight, Emerald strolling past behind them.
Episode 11
General James Ironwood, head of the Atlas military and Academy, arrives at Beacon with several military airships in tow, which Ozpin fears will alarm the citizens. Meanwhile, Blake begins to open up to her teammates, concerned about the enemies and admitting that they are not ready to stop them. Ruby decides that their team should investigate for any leads on possible future attacks.
To find clues on the enemies' next move, Ruby and Weiss investigate the Schnee Dust Company files for robberies; Blake and Sun spy on a White Fang recruitment rally; and Yang and Neptune broker with Junior for information. During Ruby and Weiss' investigation, Ruby follows Penny, who is hiding from Ironwood and the Atlas soldiers.
Meanwhile, Blake and Sun discover that Torchwick is at the White Fang rally, encouraging the Faunus to work with him. He unveils a stolen Paladin and uses it to pursue Blake and Sun after recognizing them. Team RWBY is able to destroy the Paladin, but Torchwick escapes with Neo. Team RWBY is brought back to Beacon and compiles information from their investigation to deduces that the White Fang is carrying out their activities in Vale's southeast territory.
Chapter 12
We see the students getting ready for not only the Vytal festival but for the school dance, in which Jaune works up his nerve and asks Weiss and gets shot down. Sun and Blake, who rejects him as well, saying that she doesn't have time to worry about trivial matter because she knows "he's"** out there.
**Here is where i kinda messed up and want to stress that throughout these episodes i want to see lots of Faunus discrimination, like faunus standing outside of stores while waiting for their human freinds because sign threatening to "hunt" them if they come in. Or people spatting "filthy faunus" while bumping into Blake and Velvet and others on purpose. Them making comments on "are you sure you have done any criminal activities as of late" when they interrogate Blake. The whole Shabam!
And we also see Blake doodling Adams insignia on the corner of her pages, she made a bookmark of it that she carries in her books. Really stress that she misses Adam because in this rewrite HE IS NOT ABUSIVE BECAUSE HE NEVER WAS UP UNTIL THE END OF SEASON 3! AND HE WON"T BE GOING ON BECAUSE I DON'T BUY IT!
Anyway, we get the laser pointer scene where here we get a different Bumblebee moment. Here we get a moment where Yang tells her about Summer. She tells her about how she rejected Summer as a mom, because "she already had one" and missed the opportunity to have on after she died. She tries to express to Blake that yes, things are happening but she also has to let loose and take care of herself to cope with it.
We then pan to Pryhha crying on the roof, while JNR look at her from behind the door. They play rock, paper, scissors in which Jaune loses and goes out to talk to her. We get a heartfelf moment where Pryhha tells him that she is never going to be treated normal due to her status, that she will always be arms length from everyone else. She tells him that no one has asked her to the dance, but Jaune pretty much spatters out how impossible it is for her not to have a date because "you're strong, beautiful, and pretty much the best girl i have ever met." which makes Pryhha blush and giggle. They make the bet that if Pyrrha doesn't have a date to the dance, Jaune will wear a dress.
Chapter 13
Pretty much Dance Dance Infiltration.
During the Vytal Tournament Festival Ball, a disguised Cinder infiltrates the CCT tower and plants a virus in the central computer. She flees before Ruby and Ironwood uncover her identity, her mission successful.
The only things I want to change are Neptune and Weiss' moment. I want Weiss to ask Neptune to dance, which he declines but quickly follows up with "maybe later". After Weiss storms up, Jaune gets angry and asks what's Neptune's deal. Neptune doesn't reply but shifts his gaze to Sun dancing with Blake. Jaune nods and tells him that he gets it, but perhaps while he was waiting he could humor a certain Snow Queen.
Chapter 14
Ruby is questioned about the intruder in Ozpin's office and links her to Torchwick and the White Fang. It is here that we finally meet Adam, who looks over the dust that they had just stolen before his camp is infiltrated by Cinder. He sends her off after beating her in a minor fight, in which she seeks the Fall maiden. She comes back stronger and demands him to bend to her will.
We are then brought the present where Team Ruby is on another mission. Ruby discovers White Fang members patrolling the area. She falls into an underground city with secret tunnels to Vale, where she is subdued by the Faunus and brought before Torchwick.
When Ruby gets to Torchwick, she asks him why he is doing this where Torchwick tells him that her that he got wrapped up in some nasty business that he couldn't get out of. He tells her that he does what he has to do to live and that's life for ya. Ruby's teammates rescue her, but Torchwick's train begins to take off to the city, using bombs to destroy the cave and allowing the Grimm to follow them. As Team RWBY threads through the train to stop it, they are unsuccessful. The train crashes into the city, where the Grimm emerge and begin to attack.
Team RWBY successfully fights off hordes of Grimm with their friends, classmates, and teachers. Torchwick is arrested, but Adam arrives, ready to continue Cinder's plans.
In a post-credits scene, Yang encounters Raven, who takes off her mask and reveals a startling resemblance to her.
Chapter 15
Here we get to see what i wanted to see, Raven. After the retcon i felt cheated. Personally, I think that here she should have told Yang something like "You've grown bigger, but you haven't grown out of your recklessness." in which Yang yells at her and demands answers. I also wanted something like "I saved you once, I won't do it again" before disappearing, a single raven feather being left behind.
This weighs on Yang as the festival begins, Team RWBY wins their first round against Haven's Team ABRN in the Vytal Festival Tournament. Victorious, the girls visit the festival fairgrounds for lunch where they meet Team JNPR who had fight against Shade's Team BRNZ . They watch as Team SSNS of Haven against Shade's all-female Team NDGO. Despite Neptune's fear of water, Team NDGO is defeated as well.
Weiss is excited to see her stern older sister Winter, who arrived with the airship. Qrow provokes Winter into a fight, which is later stopped by Ozpin and Ironwood. In private, Qrow reports that the festival has been infiltrated.
Chapter 16
Now that Pryhha and Jaune had won against their opponents, team JNPR go off to a cafe to celebrate Pyrhha going to JNPR fight against Raven who warns Pryhha not to go through with what was asked of her, that she is not ready or strong enough for such a responsibility. Asking what all this was about, Pryhha finally tells them about her being elected to be the fall maiden.
Meanwhile, Cinder hacks into Ironwood's scroll and sets up Mercury and Emerald against Team CFVY's Coco and i want this fight to be kick-ass. Didn't understand why the fight sucked, make it so i can believe that Emerald and Mercury would be able to best Coco and Yatsuyashi… like Coco manhandled a grimm with her own two hands, you have to give me better than what you did.
Anyways, Afterwards, Qrow is suspicious about the fact that violence and crime in Vale stopped after Torchwick's arrest and warns Ruby and Yang that danger is imminent. At the same time, Winter trains Weiss on developing her summoning ability. As Weiss and Winter part ways, both are unaware that Weiss summoned a small white sword.
Penny and Ciel Soleil win their doubles fight against Team CRDL. Afterwards, Weiss and Yang are up against Flynt Coal and Neon Katt from Atlas' Team FNKI. They defeat both opponents, gaining their respect. In the dorms, Cinder discovers Penny's structural designs among the data stolen from Ironwood's scroll.
Chapter 17
Pyrrha is faced with the decision to accept the Fall Maiden's Aura and powers, a process that could fail or make her lose her identity. Meanwhile, the Vytal Festival Tournament proceeds to its singles match, with Yang and Mercury fighting in the first round. Yang wins, but Emerald uses her Semblance to trick her into attacking a defenseless Mercury. The audience becomes angry and the Grimm outside Vale stir from the negative emotions.
Yang is disqualified from the tournament, while Pyrrha remains conflicted about Ozpin's offer. Jaune indirectly encourages to go through with becoming the Fall Maiden, causing her to be upset. On her way to the arena, Ruby meets Velvet, who remembers that Coco had a similar hallucination to Yang. Ruby becomes suspicious when she spots Emerald in the arena, but before she is able to reach her, she is confronted by Mercury.
During Pyrrha and Penny's match, Emerald uses her Semblance on Pyrrha, causing her inadvertently to tear Penny apart. Everyone is horrified, and Cinder takes control over the computers to blame all incidents on Ozpin and Ironwood in a public broadcast. The negative emotions of the people are amplified, causing hordes of Grimm to attack Beacon Academy. Neo breaks Torchwick out of prison and they gain control of Ironwood's flagship. Meanwhile, Adam and the White Fang arrive at Beacon.
Chapter 18
As the Grimm attack continues, Ruby gains the support of the other teams from the school to fight as the Huntsmen teachers also fend off the Grimm in various locations. Torchwick uploads Cinder's virus on Ironwood's flagship, seizing control of Atlesian androids and Paladins. A giant Grimm dragon bursts out of Mountain Glenn and flies towards Beacon, spawning more Grimm onto the battlefield. While Cinder has her associates broadcast the wreckage, she follows Ozpin, Pyrrha, and Jaune back into the tower. However, she is stopped by Raven who tries to fend her off.
Adam Vs. Blake but the dialogue has changed. When he greets her it's something like
"Long time no see,Blake. How's the academy treating you?"
"Adam… let's talk about this."
"Talk. We could've talked before you left me during our mission. We're done talking."
Adam, we don't have to do this."
"No, Blake, I do have to do this. For the cause. The cause, you left. And now you have to pay for it."
Thus, Adam is no longer abusive, he is brainwashed… Yang comes in and Adam cuts off her arm. As he leaves, he tells Blake about how he has big plans and that he can't wait.
Ozpin starts to transfer Amber's powers into Pyrrha, but Cinder kills Amber before the process is completed, stealing her remaining powers.
Episode 19
Jaune helps a disoriented Pyrhha and tries to meet up with the rest of the team, As the rest of the students fight the Paladins at school, Velvet uses her Semblance while Weiss summons the sword-arm of an Armored Knight. From there Pryhha tells Jaune that she is probably their only chance to defeat Cinder, in which the rest of team JNPR are willing to back her up.
Ruby fights Neo and Torchwick. Neo is thrown off the ship, and Torchwick is devoured by a Grimm. However, I want to see Roman's hat and cane get thrown off the ship too, so later it makes sense for Neo to have them.
We see the fight at the top of the tower with Pyrrha and Jaune vs. Cinder. I want to see Pyrhha and Jaune almost defeat Cinder until something happens to turn the tide… I don't care what as long as it isn't stupid… I still want Pyrhha to kiss Jaune goodbye. Ruby comes last second to see Pyrrha get murdered and then releases her silver eyes.
Episode 20
It's been a week since the fall of Beacon, Ruby wakes up in her room, Uncle Qrow and Tai Yang sitting next to her bed. Instead of Qrow telling Ruby about Silver Eyes, i want Tai Yang to do it. I want daddy/daughter time. I want Tai Yang to be a better dad then everyone tries to say he is. So Tai Yang tells Ruby about Silver eyes but before deviates into talking about Yang before telling them exactly what they do.
Ruby gets up and walks past Yang's room, where she finds a disgruntled Yang. I want to move the introduction of Yang's arm here. I want it to be a gift from Ironwood, it having a card and everything, and it's thrown on the floor. We also see a book on the table, it being "the girl locked in the tower" with a hand drawn bookmark and a vase of white roses knocked over as well. Ruby looks at it for a bit, before beholding what happened to her sister. Crying she runs over, reassuring Yang that it is all going to be okay and Yang pushes her off with a "no, it's not! Look around, Ruby! what part of this is okay?" which hurts her sister. The two stare at each other for a moment before Yang dismisses her with a "I think I need to be alone for a while. I need to adjust to… my new future… the new me."
Ruby walks out and shuts the door, where Qrow is standing there. He updates her on Weiss and Blake's disappearance and the state of team JNR. He tells her that they have recovered several things of Pyrrha's, finding a recorded will on her scroll. When Ruby asks what it said, Qrow hands her one of Pyrhha's shaws (the red thing hanging off her belt) and says that it's for her.
Also, let's have a scene with Qrow and Tai Yang. Not a "I hate you" scene like what we have seen but more of a "where have you been? I missed you" scene next to a window. You can tell that Tai Yang isn't talking to just Qrow in this scene, him saying something like "I hate that the only time this family can be together is during a tragedy" before watching a raven fly way.
Episode 21
Here is a change that i have thought about and want to hear people's opinions. I want to retcon Oscar being the reincarnate of Ozpin. I want Jaune to be Opin's vessel. It's an unpopular opinion but hear me out because I have reasoning for this.
Jaune is based off of Joan of Arc but also due to a forum I came across that i'm going to leave a link to here ( /forum/rwby/topic/3354621), i do now see parallels between him and Julius Caesar. But that's for another time… What I am saying is, that Jaune has based off of "Joan of Arc, a peasant girl living in medieval France, believed that God had chosen her to lead France to victory in its long-running war with England." which would make sense if he was the re-incarnate of Ozpin.
I think it would have been great for his character arc if he had to deal with this fat after his loss of Pyrrha causing him an inner war with himself. And although i love Oscar… I hate the "all my vessels are just that, vessels" card they pulled out in Season 6. Thus, this would be perfect, seeing a vessel that is having none of it and rejecting outright to be just that.
Thus in my RWBY rewrite, I have decided that after the fall of Beacon, we get Jaune holding Pyrrha's scroll, it being cracked and barely functional. We hear a bit of a clip, it clearly stating that Pyrrha is giving her armor to Jaune if something was to happen to her, it being "one of the many that she has, my parents won't mind". She then goes on to talk about her thoughts about Jaune and confirms that they have been in a relationship since the dance… because I'm selfish and ship ARKOS really hard.
Anyway, Jaune pauses the clip and lays on his bed. Nora knocks on the door, peeking her head in, holding a tray. She comments on how Jaune hasn't eaten or left his room in 3 days. Jaune doesn't respond, continuing to lay in his bed. She sits at the end of his bed, reminding him that Pryhha was both her's and Ren's teammate too and though they are devastated, she would be sure that Pryhha wouldn't want them to be stuck on her death like this. After a moment of nothing, Nora gets up and leaves. That is when Jaune hears Ozpin for the first time with a "she's right, you know? Can't imagine what Miss Nikos would do if she were to see you like this." causing Jaune to growl in frustration.
Episode 22
We open up this episode with Team JNRR, packing up to head out to Vale. We get a scene of Tai Yang and Qrow talking from Tai YAng's room, the door cracked. Personally, I want to ship all of team STRQ but i know how people would react… how people have been reacting… so i guess this scene can be platonic. Anyways, we get a scene of Tai Yang telling Qrow that he needs him here, with the kids, not out running errands for a dead man. Qrow tells Tai Yang that Vale is slowly falling apart due to the devastation and des[air the country is in and that he has to worry about more than what Tai needs, even if he doesn't want to. We then see Ruby's cape flutter past.
Jaune wakes up to Ozpin's voice, which not only freaks him out but makes him upset. Ozpin tells him that he did not expect such an event to occur but he is fortunate that it is someone he knows he can trust to do the right thing, in which Jaune snaps at him "just like Pyrrha?! Did she do the right thing?" Which cause Ozpin to remain silent.
Jaune opens the door to find Nora sleeping next to it and Ren on the couch watching the news. We hear a report about Glydia trying to repair Beacon and countless hunt and huntress students being sent out to help with the escalation of Grimm Remnant wide wide. Aune tries to apologize but Ren tells him that it is okay, telling him that everyone handles grief differently. He tell him a tale of a young Ren and Nora, Nora refusing to eat or talk, and an angry Ren who blamed Nora for what happened. He tells him about how their grief had trekked in a grimm and how it took both of them to take it down. He tells Jaune that they will be with him and help him through his grief.
Which brings them back to the present, Team JNRR going of to help Vale in whatever way they can, Ruby peeking in on Yang before leaving a note. We see them wander off, a crow flying behind them.
Episode 23
We start this episode off with Weiss, her sitting in the jet with her father who is lecturing her on how he was right about it being a bad idea for her to have gone to Beacon. He tells her that she will continue her studies back at the manor and will accompany him to all of his… and we fade out because honestly, fuck that guy.
We see Blake heading toward the boat (which in my opinion was a strange arc choice and will be heavily criticized and heavily redone because this has nothing to do with anything so i will make it work). Her ears sink but she shakes her head and hides them with her bow once more before boarding. A mysterious figure follows her.
Return to Weiss, where we see the same faunus from the first episode, brutally beaten. Weiss's father orders them to unpack her stuff, which Weiss tells him that she is more then capable, but he responds "Oh sweetheart, that's what the pests are for". Weiss looks apologetically at the faunus. We hear a crash and then we see Jaque berate a faunus, raising a hand to hit them when Weiss steps in. This is to show character growth and the hint at the conflict of the next season.
Return to Blake, who is one her bed, reading a book called "Ask me anything" and she sighs. She looks at her Adam bookmark. She growls at it and holds it over a candle. She watches it burn halfway before her hand shakes and she drops it on the grund, stomping it out as a futile way to save it. Then she falls to her knees and starts crying. The mysterious figure walks away from being next to the door.
Episode 24
We start with team JNRR, them getting new renditions to their weapons, revealing Jaune shield and sword. We see Ruby depressed and sitting outside until Jaune comes outside, revealing his Pumpkin Pete hoodie, which makes her smile. Jaune smiles back, telling her that it's nice to see her back to her old self and she replies with a ditto.
Nora asks where they are going first, hanging off of Ren, who is holding the map. We then see the map of Vale as Ren explains the route. Ruby nods, telling him that they should help whatever way they could. As they walk, you see a crow in the distance.
We get a narration by a woman about how everything must fall and what not ness, revealing Salem. As she narrates, we get cameos of everyone going their separate ways, people picking up and trying to rebuild Beacon, some of the other teams being shipped off. We get Cinder and her posse looking out the window at the e birth of freshly risen Grimm. We fade out and the end music plays.
