A/N
I decided to remove Team CFVY, Sun, Neptune, Port, and Oobleck from the cast because I don't think they will really add anything to the story going further especially after volume 3 since we never really see them again.
The opening quote is shown: "Your hopes have become my burden. I will find my own liberation."
"Well, that doesn't sound good." Oscar said already knowing this would probably be bad.
While people were thinking who this could be about a certain cat faunus was already thinking "This is about me isn't it."
Blake Belladonna sits on a rock outcrop watching red leaves drift down in the Forest.
"I guess it's time for your backstory." Yang said looking at the cat faunus (not that she knew that) that was sitting next to her.
"Backstory?" Blake replied hoping this wouldn't show her time in the White Fang.
"Well, the other two trailers showed us something about the past I don't see why this one won't be the same."
Adam Taurus walks up to her
Adam: Blake, it's time.
She slowly turns toward him.
Blake: Okay.
"Who is that guy?" Ruby asked for some reason already disliking him.
"That's Adam Taurus, he used to be my partner."
The pair run through the forest until they reach a cliff. The camera drifts down to show a train rushing through the forest along some tracks.
"Wait a minute, that's an SDC train. What are you planning to do?" Willow asked remembering that one of the cargo trains was robbed not too long ago.
Blake decided to stay quiet already knowing what was about to be shown.
Adam and Blake slide down the hill and jump onto the top of the train, digging their weapons into the roof as they land. Upon boarding it the two jump onto another car, Adam slashes at a hatch before lifting it as they enter a car full of AK-130 Androids.
Adam: Looks like we're gonna be doing this the hard way.
The Androids activate and circle the duo.
Blake: Don't be so dramatic.
"You're a faunus, you're one of those White Fang terrorists!" Willow stood up shouting in anger.
"Just because I'm a faunus doesn't mean I'm a terrorist!" Blake replied, furious that she would accuse her of being in the White Fang just because she's a faunus but expecting nothing less of a Schnee.
"Well, it sure as hell looks like it's about to show you rob that train." Willow retorted angrily.
"Let's all just calm down and continue watching, I'm sure Blake had her reasons for what she did in the past." Ozpin decided to shut down the argument.
Willow sat down with a huff while Kali and Ghira gave Ozpin smiles of gratitude for defending their daughter.
"So you're a faunus?" Weiss asked a bit suspicious of Blake now.
"Yes, but I'm not a part of the White Fang, not anymore." Blake said as if sensing the suspicion getting a small nod in return.
An Android activates the guns on its arms.
Android: Intruder, identify yourself.
Adam responds by firing his sword, dashing behind to shoot it's head off then cutting the Android in two.
"Why did he sheath his sword after his attack?" Oscar asked confused as to why he would sheath his sword in the middle of a fight.
"That's the style he uses. Iaido is all about drawing and sheathing your sword for quick attacks." Blake answered his question.
"Don't we know another Iaido user?" Qrow asked while glancing at Raven.
"From shadows" "We'll descend upon the world, take back what you stole"
The rest deploy blades and he and Blake proceed to completely annihilate the Androids in the car.
"From shadows" "We'll reclaim our destiny, set our future free" "And we'll rise"
Eventually, Adam kicks one and they burst out of the freight car onto a flatcar and encounter a horde of Androids running towards them.
"And we'll rise"
"You two are a really good team." Ozpin said while Willow was seething at how he could compliment them for committing a crime.
"Yeah, we were." Blake quietly replied in a sad tone with an almost disappointed look on her face.
"Were?" Oscar asked with a raised eyebrow.
Adam: Let's do this.
Adam and Blake run towards the androids. Adam strikes two of them horizontally sending them flying for Blake to attack them mid-air then fall back down for Adam to finish them off.
"Above the darkness and the shame"
Blake turns Gambol Shroud into it's gun form and throws it holding it by the ribbon.
"Above the torture and the pain"
Blake pulls the ribbon and the screen cuts to the weapon as the trigger gets pulled. Gambol Shroud fires and goes back to where it came from cutting an android in the process.
"Above the ridicule and the hate"
They finish off the rest of the androids while showing great teamwork.
"Above the binding of our fate"
While they were impressed by the fight some were worried about Adam seeing how skilled he was counting him as a potential threat for the future.
They enter the next cart filled with crates of Schnee dust.
Adam: Perfect. Move up to the next car.
He closes the trunk not noticing the machine crawling on the ceiling.
"Did anyone else see that thing on the ceiling?" Jaune asked making sure he wasn't seeing things getting various nods and yeses in return.
Adam: I'll set the charges.
Blake: What about the crew members?
Adam: What about them?
The reactions were pretty much the same for everyone, anger, shock, while the Belladonnas were sadly staring at the screen reminded of how much the White Fang had fallen.
"He was going to kill innocents!?" Winter shouted disgusted at how he would do such a thing just because those people worked for her father's company.
"Why would he do something like that?" Ruby asked both angry and worried whether he was actually going to do it.
"The people who are on that train work for the SDC which is known for making faunus work in terrible conditions sometimes even shipping them of to work in dust mines against their will. He beliefs that they deserve it for working with the SDC. This is the reason I quit the White Fang." Blake said sadly with a hint of regret for what she did in the past. Everyone nodded their heads in understanding not holding anything against her even Willow though she still didn't fully trust her.
"I should have never stepped down from my position." Ghira muttered to himself thinking he could have prevented some of the bloodshed.
Kali who heard him because of her faunus traits immediately comforts him saying there was nothing he could have done.
Adam turns his head around and sees a SpiderDroid climbing down from the ceiling of the car. Adam moves to fight it.
"Born with, no life, into subjugation"
Blake (anxiously): Adam.
"Treated, like a worthless animal"
"Are faunus really treated this badly?" Jaune asked not knowing the full extent of how they were treated.
Ghira and Kali nodded sadly "Unfortunately yes most faunus are seen as second class citizens and they have fewer rights too. That's the reason the White Fang was created, but when things weren't changing they decided to change their methods going from peaceful protests to terrorism."
Adam and Blake try to fight it, but it doesn't go so well.
"Stripped of all rights, just a lesser being" "Crushed by cruel ruthless human rule"
Adam grabs Blake before she is about to be crushed by the droid's legs.
"When it started"
Blake: We need to get out of here.
"All we wanted was a chance to live our lives"
Everyone gave a sigh of relief except the obvious (*cough* Raven *cough*) glad that Blake didn't get crushed.
"You do realize this already happened and I'm perfectly fine right?" Blake asked with a raised eyebrow making a few people in the room awkwardly scratch the back of their heads.
"Now in darkness"
Eventually, it fires a shot and knocks them back as the fight moves out of the car onto another flatcar.
"Taking everything we want and we will rise" "We'll rise"
Adam: Buy me some time!
"We'll rise"
Blake: Are you sure?
Adam: Do it!
Blake distracts the droid while Adam readies his next attack. As she jumps back to Adam some time later...
Adam: Move!
The droid fires a powerful beam. Adam catches the beam with Wilt. As his body starts to glow, the droid jumps toward him. Adam chuckles then slashes out with his sword, disintegrating the droid and even affecting the trees in the Red Forest causing their leaves to fly into the air.
"I'm guessing that's his semblance?" Nora asked quite terrified of the prospect of having to fight him a sentiment that was shared by the rest of the room.
"Yes, he collects his opponent's energy and redirects it at him." Blake explained seeing how scared everyone was of Adam now.
"So it's basically like my semblance." Yang said calming down slightly.
"I think it's different from yours. You wouldn't have survived a hit like that." Taiyang said with wide eyes still locked on the screen.
"Well, his semblance actually doesn't make him feel any pain when he absorbs the attack." Blake added not making anyone less terrified of the chance of ever having to fight him.
As Adam walks back towards Blake, he finds her on a separate train car standing near the coupler between the cars. As he reaches out to her...
Blake: Goodbye
She severs the coupler and lets the released cars slow down as she lets the rest of the train continue en-route. As she leaves, the background becomes completely red with a black silhouette of Blake in the middle, with black leaves falling down. Then the camera zooms out from the RWBYtitle card and the silhouettes of Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and Blake Belladonna becoming defined.
"Did you save the crew?" Pyrrha asked wanting to make sure everyone survived.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure they were all in the front of the train." Blake answered hoping she didn't leave anyone behind.
Now they were all waiting for the next trailer to appear.
