In a forest lied somewhere in Menagerie, everything was all calm and quiet but suddenly a sound of gunfire echoed. It was team RWBY, they were fighting against the numerous of Grimm. They didn't expect this, they were just decide go for a walk with team JNR in the forest since they need a rest after what happen earlier when they're able to protected the Relic of Knowledge out of Cinder's hand. But now they're get ambushed by the Grimm and got seperated from team JNR. Ruby use her Crescent Rose to fire at the group of Grimms, then switch into scythe mode then dash into the others and slice them off. But when Ruby was firing at the other one and switch to her left, something terribly wrong happened, her Crescent Rose was jammed on her.

"No no no! Not now!" - Ruby exclaimed while trying to unjam her weapon, but a Grimm rush in and knock Ruby out which causing her Crescent Rose fall out of her hand. Ruby sister,Yang saw it but was too late, the Grimm move it hand up as Ruby lied there defenseless.

"No!" Yang exclaimed as she rush to Ruby and then... Yang stand there blankly, but Ruby was fine somehow, she open her eyes to saw the Grimm was standing there motionless until it collapsed to the ground. Turns out it got stabbed from behind by a sword that has a dragon handguard and pattern.

"You ok there,little red riding hood?" A voice exclaimed. Ruby turn around to see a humanoid that has Dragon-theme armor covered from head to toe and he was get down from his bike which was also Dragon-theme. The humanoid get closer to Ruby then pull her up.

"Your weapon was pretty dope. But like any weapons, you should take care of it more often, you're lucky that i was in neighborhood." - The humanoid said, then he saw two members of team RWBY trying to fight against the Grimms.

"I'll handle this." - The humanoid raise his hand,then his sword which was still on the dead Grimm come straight back to his hand, he passing over Yang as he rush over the group of Grimm which a white-haired huntress had to deal with. He dash through the group of Grimm with a break neck speed, then all of the Grimm got decapitated in a flash. The white-haired huntress seeing that got so surprised she stood there blankly, the humanoid just response to her with a thumbs up then rushing over the other group of Grimm, but the one who deals with them was a cat Faunus huntress.

"Mind if i join this dance?" The humanoid jump over the huntress head as he slice one of the Grimm in half then charge into the rest of them. The faunus huntress seeing that these Grimm was no longer a problem so she comeback to see if her teammates are okay.

"Ruby, you ok?" - The cat faunus asked.

"I'm good Blake, thanks to that...guy" - Ruby said.

"Weiss, was that one of your bodyguards?" - Yang asked.

"No, he didn't look like he from Atlas military. Plus he looks more antique than modern." - The white-haired huntress replied.

"Woah~" - Ruby admired then pull out her scroll to record the humanoid.

As for the humanoid, he kick the Grimm straight in the face then give the other a 180 degree kick in the chest cause it to fly away, then another one rush to him but he used his blade stab through it jaw. Then he slash the Grimm that was coming for him, but his slash was too fast makes the Grimm lose it head and torso, the humanoid turn to his right to see there's only one last Grimm.

"I.. have found a resolution for my revolution!" - the humanoid exclaimed as he put his hand together to build a wind-made energy ball. The Grimm growl then rush to him but ...

"Cyclonium-Strike!" - the humanoid shot the energy ball, the energy ball turns to a drill shape once it hit the Grimm in contact, a dragon head pierce through the Grimm and...

"Revolution... Triumph." - the humanoid said, then all of sudden his bike automatically drive to him. But when he finally get on his bike...

"Wait!" - Ruby exclaimed as she and her team comes to him.

"W..what's your name?" - Ruby asked.

"...Drake, Celestial Knight Drake." - the humanoid replied.

"Ruby... Ruby Rose" - Ruby smiled.

"You know.. You can keep that footage for now." - the humanoid said as he point his finger to Ruby hand that holding the scroll, this make Ruby surprise cuz she didn't think he known that she recorded him the whole time.

"Because i had a feeling... We might meet again." - the humanoid said then drove away, leaving the team speechless. Then suddenly...

"Ruby! Guys!" The team turn back to see Jaune Arc, Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie coming for them.

"Jaune!" - Ruby exclaimed as Jaune stop to catch his breath.

"Man, we thought we lost you for sure." - Jaune said.

"And looks like you guys handle them all without our assist too!" - Nora said.

"Actually... About that..." Ruby said as all of her team looking at each other.

On the way home team RWBY explain that they were saved by a humanoid call himself Drake, Ruby show them the footage.

"No freaking way, is that real?!" - Jaune excitingly exclaimed.

"Well, we all there so yes, it is." - Weiss said.

"Do you think he's a good guy?" - Ren asked.

"He saved my life, what makes you think he's not?" - Ruby asked Ren.

"Remember those guys we fight in Haven? i got a feeling he's probably one of them." - Ren explained.

"Well, we exchange our name and he didn't looks like he's angry or something" - Ruby said.

"Maybe, or maybe he wait til you are only by yourself and.." - Nora said as she doing the throat cutting sign.

"Let's come back and ask your uncle, maybe he knows a thing or two about this guy we just met." - Blake demand.

"Yeah, good point Blake." - Ruby replied. As they all came back to Blake house, Blake spotted something weird as soon as she get inside.

"Hey, do we have a guests for today or something?" - Blake asked, which make the others wonder.

"Look at that." - Blake point to the bunch of shoes, there is 4 pair of shoes which she didn't realize whose. Then they heard laughing noise that came from the living room, Blake makes the"shh" sound to tell the others to quiet as she sneakily walk to the room, the others decide to follow her lead. As they finally reach to the living room door, Blake put her ear closer to the door so she can hear clearer. She realized that beside her parents, Sun, Ilia, Oscar and Qrow voice. The others voices are completely unfamiliar, then suddenly...

"Shh!" A noise came from inside which make Blake wondering if any one of them has spotted her, and she was right. The door suddenly collapsed at Blake makes the others surprise, they come closer to see the person on the now-break door was an early 20 man, he get up and see them with a cold glance then suddenly...

"Well no..but master told me about you guys, especially you and your li'l sister." - the man replied.

"Ahem!" -Ghira (Blake father) clear his throat.

"Is something wrong, mr Belladonna ?" - the man asked.

"In case you don't know, you're stepping on my daughter." - Ghira replied. This makes the man look down on his feet, as soon as he saw a hand twitching under the broken door...

"GAAAHH! I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!" - the man freaked out. It took a few moments later, Blake was absolutely fine but she got a bandage on her forehead.
