The opening ends to an overview of the streets of Vale being decorated in time for the Vytal Festival. Red, yellow, and green streamers and balloons are proudly on display, and Team RWBY is strolling through it all with an awed Weiss Schnee in the front. A sign is being put up by the elderly Shopkeep that reads in bright red letters "WELCOME TO VALE!" for all the foreign newcomers from their respective kingdoms of Remnant.

Weiss: "The Vytal Festival! Oh, this is absolutely wonderful!"

Ruby: "I don't think I've ever seen you smile this much, Weiss." Ruby pouts. "It's kinda weirding me out..."

Weiss: (turning to Ruby) "How could you not smile? A festival dedicated to the cultures of the world! There will be dances! Parades! A tournament! Oh, the amount of planning and organization that goes into this event is simply breathtaking!" (they continue walking)

Yang: "You really know how to take a good thing and make it sound boring."

Weiss: "Quiet, you!"

Yang: "Remind me again why we're spending our Friday afternoon visiting the stupid docks?"

Ruby: "Ugh, they smell like fish!"

Weiss: "I've heard that students visiting from Vacuo will be arriving by ship today. And, as a representative of Beacon, I feel as though it is my solemn duty to welcome them to this fine kingdom!

Blake: (as Weiss starts walking away again) "She wants to spy on them so she'll have the upper hand in the tournament."

Weiss: "You can't prove that!"

Ruby: "Whoa." The team looks at a shattered window down the street and a door full of yellow caution tape of the Vale Police Force before walking over to the detective in front, who is writing on his pad. "What happened here?"

Detective 1: "Robbery. Second Dust shop to be hit this week. This place is turning into a jungle."

Yang: "That's terrible."

Detective 2:"They left all the money again."

Ruby: "Huh?"

Detective 1: "Yeah, just doesn't make a lick of sense. Who needs that much Dust?"

Detective 2: "I don't know, an army?"

Detective 1: "You thinking the White Fang?"

Detective 2: "Yeah, I'm thinking we don't get paid enough."

Weiss: "Hmph! The White Fang." "What an awful bunch of degenerates!"

Blake: "What's your problem?"

Weiss: "My problem? I simply don't care for the criminally insane."

Blake: "The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths." Blake crosses her arms. "They're a collection of misguided Faunus."

Weiss: "Misguided? They want to wipe Humanity off the face of the planet!"

Blake: "So then they're very misguided. Either way, it doesn't explain why they would rob a Dust shop in the middle of downtown Vale!"

Ruby: "Hmm... Blake's got a point. Besides, the police never caught that Torchwick guy I ran into a few months ago... Maybe it was him."

Weiss: "That still doesn't change the fact that the White Fang are a bunch of scum." Blake gets more angry "Those Faunus only know how to lie, cheat, and steal."

Yang: "That's not necessarily true..."

Sailor 1: "Hey, stop that Faunus!"

As the team overhears the cry for help and rush over to investigate, a Faunus with a golden monkey tail named Sun Wukong is seen running down the length of the boat and leaping on to the edge as the two sailors are about to apprehend him.

Sun: "Thanks for the ride, guys! Haha!"

Sailor 2: "You no-good stowaway!"

Sun: "Hey! A no-good stowaway would've been caught! I'm a great stowaway!"

Detective 1: "Hey! Get down from there this instant!"

Sun drops the banana peel on the detective's face, who growls in return. The monkey-like Faunus twirls up to crouch on the lamppost, laughs in amusement, and proceeds to leap off and run away from the detectives. As he runs past Team RWBY, he winks at an astonished Blake in slow motion before time speeds up again and he continues to be chased by the officers.

Yang: "Well, Weiss, you wanted to see the competition, and there it goes..."

Weiss: "Quick! We have to observe him!"

Weiss, Yang, and Ruby give chase. Blake stands still, lost in thought, then comes back to reality and follows her friends. The team rounds the next corner, but then Weiss bumps into someone and trips. She looks up only to see Sun jump on to a building and disappear from her view.

Weiss: "No, he got away!"

Yang: "Uhh... Weiss?" Yang gestures to the robot on the ground.

Weiss finally sees that she fell on a smiling girl, which startles the heiress and she hastily gets up.

Penny: "Sal-u-ta-tions!"

Ruby: "Um... hello."

Yang: "Are you... okay?"

Penny: "I'm wonderful! Thank you for asking."

Yang: "Do you... wanna get up?"

Penny: "...Yes!" She leaps back on her feet while the team steps back a little. "My name is Penny! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Ruby: "Hi Penny. I'm Ruby."

Weiss: "I'm Weiss."

Blake: "Blake."

Yang: "Are you sure you didn't hit your head?" Blake hits her side. "Oh, I'm Yang."

Penny: "It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Weiss: "You already said that."

Penny: "...So I did!"

Weiss: "Well, sorry for running into you!"

Ruby: "Take care, friend!"

Yang: "She was... weird..."

Weiss: "Now, where did that Faunus riff-raff run off to?"

Penny: "What did you call me?"

Yang: "Oh, I'm really sorry, I definitely didn't think you heard me!"

Penny: "No, not you." Penny walks through the group and leans her head down to Ruby. "You!"

Ruby: "Me? I-I don't know. I, what I, um, uh..."

Penny: "You called me 'friend'! Am I really your friend?"

Ruby: "Uuuum..." She looks over Penny's shoulder while her teammates motion to deny her. "Y-Yeah, sure! Why not?"

Penny: "Sen-sational! We can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys!"

Ruby: "Oh, is this what it was like when you met me?"

Weiss: "No - she seems far more coordinated."

Yang: "So... what are you doing in Vale?"

Penny: "I'm here to fight in the tournament."

Weiss: "Wait, you're fighting in the tournament?"

Penny: "I'm combat ready!"

Weiss: "Forgive me, but you hardly look the part."

Blake: "Says the girl wearing a dress."

Weiss: "It's a combat skirt!"

Ruby: "Yeah!" Weiss holds out her hand for a low high-five and she catches it.

Weiss: "Wait a minute." Weiss places her two hands on Penny's shoulders. "If you're here for the tournament, does that mean you know that monkey-tailed... rapscallion?"

Penny: "The who...?"

Weiss: "The filthy Faunus from the boat!"

Blake: "Why do you keep saying that?!"

Weiss: (turning her attention from Penny to Blake) "Huh?"

Blake: "Stop calling him a rapscallion! Stop calling him a degenerate! He's a person!"

Weiss: "Oh, I'm sorry." Weiss moves away from and motions to the objects around her. "Would you like me to stop referring to the trash can as a trash can? Or this lamppost as a lamppost?"

Blake: "Stop it!"

Weiss: "Stop what? He clearly broke the law. Give him time; he'll probably join up with those other Faunus in the White Fang!"

Blake: "You ignorant little brat!"

Weiss: "How dare you talk to me like that! I am your teammate!"

Blake: "You are a judgmental little girl."

Weiss: "What in the world makes you say that?"

Blake: "The mere fact that you would sort that Faunus boy with a terrorist group solely based on his species makes you just as much of a scoundrel as you believe him to be!"

Yang: "Um, I think we should probably go..."

Penny: "Where are we going?"

Weiss: "So you admit it! The White Fang is just a radical group of terrorists!"

Blake: "That's not what I meant, and you know it!"

Roman sets down what seemed to be a bag of cash, the duffel bag straining to hold the sheer amount of money in it. Neo happily skipped over towards the bowler hat man, interested in his plans. Roman chuckled and ruffles Neo's hair in a fatherly manner, the latter puffing out her cheeks in adorableness. Y/N walks in flicking a single gold coin towards Roman, the ginger scowling at the Grimm human before stuffing the last piece of valuable gold into his pocket. Neo gained a look of DETERMINATION, walking over to Y/N and waving happily, the pale skinned boy greeting her. As the two was busy discussing plans, Roman's burner scroll beeps, showing a picture of Cinder, a text box under her, clearly some form of communication.

Y/N: "Let me guess, new heist plan?" Roman nods in confirmation. "Damn, guessing she's gonna rob a relic or something." Y/N jokes, only minutes later sat down as Cinder began explaining her nefarious plan.

Cinder: "Alright people, today is a big day, now that we have such a powerhouse and a undercover student in Beacon, we might just be able to take the relic that Ozpin's holding." Y/N yawned, knowing exactly where this was going. "Neo! Your semblance will be a backup, Emerald will be using her trickery to fool everyone into thinking that Y/N is fine and human, of they see his odd look-sorry sweetie-they'd automatically get suspicious because of how Grimm like he is." Y/N rolls his eyes. "Now that we have planned it out, we must figure out when to execute it."

Y/N: "Oi! Enough chattering and lets go, I have a idea." Everyone stands oddly simultaneously. "Oh? Well, we're just gonna do it, no stalling."

Cinder: "Highly dangerous." Y/N glares at her. "A-alright."

Once Y/N reaches Beacon, he sets down a a device, it forming into a tick like robot, scurrying away.

Ruby slashes at a certain blonde, Jaune being forced to block and get sent back. Y/N watches as the two began a equally skilled battle continued, each hit getting slower and weaker. Eventually Ruby uses her semblance to slam into Jaune, the blonde getting sent back. The fight ended with Ruby winning, Pyrrha appearing next to Y/N, surprisingly not scaring him.

Y/N: "Hey Pyr, whatcha doing?"

Pyrrha: "Don't 'hey Pyr' me, what's wrong with your skin complexion?"

Y/N: "Nothing," Pyrrha looks at him suspiciously, "fine, I'm infiltrating Salem's side, gotta end her reign of terror somehow."

Pyrrha: "That doesn't explain the skin color."

Y/N: "Woah! Don't be racist there ol' Pyr," Pyrrha glares at him. "Okay okay, I'm faking the Grimm part, I can control the eye and color, I'm gonna have to cut the conversation short, Salem most likely sent in a spy."

Pyrrha: "Sure, anyways Jaune has improved, can now singlehandedly best Cardin into the ground." Y/N hums in surprise.

From Ozpin's tower he sips his mug, watching as Cinder strutted in, making most of the male students drool figuratively over her. Emerald followed close behind, some girls drooling now, the boys from earlier falling over and fainted. Y/N walking over and stopped dead in front of Cinder, the embodiment of femme fatale cooing in interest. The rest of the students gasped at the two staring each other down, before chuckling/giggling and walking back inside, Emerald oddly glaring daggers at Cinder. Pyrrha sighed annoyed at the two, the fact that they walked in like they owned the place honestly set Pyrrha off.

RWBY dorm.

Weiss: "I'm a victim! You want to know why I despise the White Fang? Why I don't particularly trust the Faunus? It's because they've been in war with my family for years. War as in actual bloodshed. My grandfather's company has had a target painted across its back for as long as I can remember. And ever since I was a child, I've watched family, friends disappear. Board members... executed. An entire train car full of Dust stolen. And every day, my father would come home furious. And that made for a very difficult childhood."

Blake: "There's no such thing as pure evil! Why do you think they hate Humanity so much? It's because of people like Cardin - people like YOU - that force the White Fang to take such drastic measures!"

Weiss: "No! You want to know why I despise the White Fang? It's because they are a bunch of liars, thieves, and murderers!"

Blake: "Maybe we're tired of being pushed around!" Blake looks around in fear, before hastily taking off, running by Y/N, causing him to sigh before speeding after her.

Weiss: "A member of the White Fang! Right underneath our noses!" Yang growls in anger.

Hoi, welcome to the end credits for this chapter, felt good so yeah.
