The scene begins with two butterflies -one red and one brown- flying off into the distance.

As the music starts, there is a shot of Hakuno overlooking Patch which changes to Nero overlooking Vale. After that it changes to a shot of Tamamo overlooking the Emerald Forest, which then changes to adult Altera overlooking Beacon.

As the lyrics begin, there's a close up of Ruby turning towards the screen with a cheerful expression. Her home town Patch in the background.

Anata no kuchiguse wo manete

Jaune walks through the hallways of Beacon. Pyrrha quickly joins him and places a comforting hand on his shoulder.

Jaune looks at Pyrrha while rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

Nande mo nai to itte miru

The scene then changes to Nora in Beacons cafeteria gleefully shoveling pancakes in her mouth like there's no tomorrow.

Ren watches with his hands behind his back and an exasperated expression as he shakes his head.

Sore ga uso demo kamawanai

Ozpin and Glynda are seen on the bow of a transport airship. The scene changes to Oobleck and Port in a classroom looking towards the screen. Oobleck takes a sip from his thermos while Port strokes his chin.

Tachitsuzukeru douki ni nareba

The next scene has Nero, Tamamo and Altera with their weapons facing off against Weiss, Blake and Yang.

Weiss assumes a stance with her Rapier. Blake dual wields her weapons while Yang slams her fist together with her gauntlets activating.

The sun rises at Beacons courtyard as the two sides charge.

Watashi ga miteru mirai wa hitotsu dake

The next scene shows Nero and Weiss charging then clashing a few times. Both elegantly avoiding each others attacks.

Eien nado sukoshi mo hoshiku wa nai

Altera and Blake exchanging a few blows as the scene then changes to Tamamo using her foot to block a powerful punch from Yang.

Ichibyou isshun ga itooshii

Jaune ready's his sword and shield. Pyrrha twirls her javelin. Nora activates her weapons grenade launcher mode while she grins like a maniac. Ren slips his weapons out of his sleeves.

Anata ga iru sekai ni watashi mo ikiteru

The scene then changes to Hakuno-in her Huntress outfit- and Ruby closing their eyes as they slowly fall forward. The title displayed.

RWBY Extella

As the music ends, there are multiple scenes. Nero and Tamamo arguing. Altera wearing Beacons female uniform holding books in her arms as she gives a small smile. Roman holding a dust crystal with his henchmen behind him. Three shadowy figures with one displaying a glowing amber eye. Team CRDL looking towards the screen with smug expressions. Team CVFY turning to face the screen. Hakuno, Ruby and Jaune's teams eating together in the cafeteria. And finally, Hakuno and Ruby smiling while shaking hands. The two butterflies from earlier fly off again towards the shattered moon.

{Last time}

Glynda:Remember, everyone, the Vytal Festival is only a few months away! It won't be long before students from the other kingdoms start arriving in Vale, so keep practicing!

Pyrrha:Jaune, you know if you ever need help, you can just ask.

Nero:So, Cardin Winchester continues to torment the Arc boy?

Jaune:I wasn't really accepted into Beacon...

I didn't go to combat school, I didn't pass any tests. I didn't earn my spot at this Academy!

I got my hands on some fake transcripts, and I lied!

Cardin:I couldn't help but overhear you two from my dorm room. I never expected you to be such a rebel!

Jaune:Please, Cardin, please, don't tell anyone!

Cardin:Jaune, come on! I'd never rat on a friend like that!

And the way I see it, as long as you're there for me when I need you, we'll be friends for a long time.

Don't worry, Jaune; your secret's safe with me.

Beginnings Arc Extella 8-Forever Fall

-Beacon Academy/Team HANT's room-

It's been a week since Jaune revealed his secret to Pyrrha. And when Cardin started blackmailing him. Since then, Jaune hasn't been spending time with his follow teammates. After finding out that Jaune cheated his way into Beacon, Cardin has been making the boy do errands for him and his teammates. While his real friends have been worried about him. Pyrrha was even giving Jaune the cold shoulder. However, not even Jaune knew that a certain pink haired fox faunus eavesdropped on Jaune and Pyrrha's conversation. The members of team HANT knew full well what was happening. When Tamamo revealed what she had heard, needless to say it got some surprised expressions from her pesudo family. Nero had even suggested breaking team CRDL's legs. With Nora's help. However, Hakuno shot down any thoughts of retaliation. When questioned about Hakuno's decision, she simply responded "It's not our problem." Needless to say her Servants were shocked at Hakuno's uncaring attitude. So here they are, discussing Jaune's predicament.

Nero:Outrageous!

The things Cardin Winchester makes that boy do.

He dares call himself a Huntsman?

Tamamo:Despicable.

Even I wouldn't resort to blackmail. And I'm a Anti Heroic spirit.

Altera:Hakuno-sama, why haven't we intervened.

If we tell Ozpin-

Hakuno:It won't matter if we tell professor Ozpin.

Nero:Why is that Soshayo?

Hakuno:Because he already knows.

Servants:What?!

Hakuno:Think about it.

Would the professor really let this continue for as long as it has?

He has a reason for all of this. And I think I know.

Altera:What is it?

Hakuno:It's a test.

To see if Jaune REALLY belongs at Beacon.

Jaune displayed a keen intellect during initiation. Even though Jaune's never had actual training.

Professor Ozpin wants Jaune to overcome his problems and grow. He sees something in Jaune that no one else does. Probably the same thing he sees in Ruby too.

Nero folds her arms in understanding.

Nero:I see.

In a way, Jaune Arc is like you Soshayo.

Hakuno:Hm?

Nero:Pardon my bluntness, but you yourself were a notice with talent during our adventures in the Moon Cell.

Tamamo:But here you stand. After overcoming many adversities. And giving sage advice at that.

Tamamo wraps her arms around Hakuno's arm.

Tamamo:Ah! Tamamo is so proud of you Goshujin-sama~!

Hakuno rubs her cheek with her finger.

Hakuno:I...guess your right about that. Heh heh.

Altera:Still, this not only affects Jaune, but his team as well.

Sooner or later, they are going to find out.

Nero:Pyrrha Nikos has been rather cold to the boy as of late.

Tamamo:She wanted to do what any good teammate would do for her leader and help him. Only for her leader to tell her to leave him alone. It's frustrating.

Hakuno:Maybe. But it's still Jaune's problem. He has to figure it out himself.

Don't worry, we'll step in if things go too far. This may be his problem. But we're still his friends.

For now, let's focus on our field trip to Forever Fall tomorrow.

-Forever Fall-

Forever Fall. This mountainous area has many cliffs and is covered by a forest of red-leafed trees, allowing the whole area to appear as a dust-red color, even with the grass.

It is here where teams RWBY, JNPR, CRDL and HANT are being led by professor Goodwitch.

Glynda:Yes, students, the forest of Forever Fall is indeed beautiful. But we are not here to sight-see. Professor Peach has asked all of you to collect samples from the trees deep inside this forest, and I'm here to make sure none of you die while doing so.

The group stops, and Jaune, grunting and carrying a large case with six empty glass jars on top, tries to catch up with them and ends up bumping into Cardin. The bully scowls at Jaune, who attempts to feign innocence by whistling tunelessly.

Glynda holds a jar of sap up as she continues to instruct her students.

Glynda:Each of you is to gather one jar's worth of red sap. However, this forest is full of the creatures of Grimm, so be sure to stay by your teammates. We will rendezvous back here at 4 o'clock. Have fun!

While Yang Xiao Long and her sister smile at one another, Jaune attempts to sneak away from Cardin to his team, but the blackmailer sees this and grabs Jaune by the back.

Cardin:Come on, buddy - let's go!

Jaune miserably looks up at his team, where Nora and Ren are already walking into the forest's depths and Pyrrha is staring sadly at the scene. Dropping his gaze, Jaune turns and follows CRDL, to the disappointment of a sighing Pyrrha before she continues on. Team HANT looks on with small frowns on their faces. They then follow teams RWBY and (J)NPR.

Meanwhile in another part of the forest, Team CRDL is making themselves as comfortable as possible by leaning on stones, trees, and the ground while Jaune returns to the group with six full jars, setting them down just as he collapses face-down. The surrounding team gets up in response.

Cardin:Hey, great work, Jauney boy! Now that wasn't too hard, was it?

Jaune(Dizzy):I think I'm allergic to this stuff...

Cardin:Greeeeat, great, great. So, Jaune, I bet you're asking yourself, 'Why did my buddy Cardin ask me to collect seven jars of tree sap when there's only five of us?'

Jaune sits up but is still exhausted.

Jaune:That is one of the many questions I have asked myself today, yes.

Cardin:Well, come with me, and you'll find out.

Jaune moans and gulps in worry.

Now perched on a hilltop overlooking the other students, team CRDL - plus Jaune, squeezed between Cardin and Russel Thrush - peak their heads over the crest and watch as everyone is retrieving their samples of sap. Ren, kneeling to collect it from a tree, passes a full jar to Nora, who "Mmmm!"s at the gift as Ren trades it for the other jar in her care. He turns back to the tree and starts filling it up while several licking sounds are heard off-screen until the camera pans back to Nora, now with an embarrassed smile covered in red and an empty jar in her hands.

Jaune:Cardin, wh-what's going on?

Cardin:Payback.

Jaune's eyes widen in understanding.

Jaune:Pyrrha...? Wh-what are you-?

Cardin pounds his fist on the ground.

Cardin:That's the girl. Red-haired know-it-all, thinks she's so smart. Alright, boys...

Cardi pulls out a buzzing cardboard box with a large "W" written on its sides.

Cardin:Last night, old Jaune here managed to round up an entire box of Rapier Wasps, and now, we're gonna put him to work.

Russel grabs Jaune by the shoulder, who barely laughs in nervousness.

Cardin:Now, according to one of the essays you wrote for me last week, these nasty things loooove sweets. I'm thinking it's time we teach her a thing or two.

The members of CRDL get up. Cardin offers his hand to Jaune, only to painfully yank him up on his feet and shove the jar into his grasp.

Cardin:And you're gonna do it.

Jaune:Do what?

Cardin:Hit her with the sap!

Either that, or I'll have a chat with Goodwitch, and you'll be on the first airship out of Beacon.

Jaune looks down at the jar of sap in his hands and then up at the four grinning teammates waiting to see what happens.

Cardin:Oh. And when your done with her, throw the other one at that fox too.

Jaune looks back at Cardin in shock.

Jaune:Tamamo?

Cardin:Yeah her.

That stupid animal thinks she can just zap me and get away with it? Not a chance. Now do it.

Jaune turns towards the group and aims his throw at an oblivious and smiling Pyrrha, trying to steel his nerves and shaking hand to do the deed. He then looks toward Tamamo as she and her team finish filling their jars.

What Jaune and team CRDL don't know is thanks to Tamamo's heightened hearing, Tamamo overheard their plot. Jaune glances between Pyrrha and Tamamo as the two talk to each other. Unaware that Tamamo is using her bond to tell her teammates the situation. However, Jaune ultimately steels himself for what he's about to do as he grips the jar tightly.

Jaune:No.

Cardin:What did you say?

Jaune:I said... NO!

Jaune turns and throws the jar at Cardin, instantly recoiling his hands to himself as he looks at Cardin's breastplate covered in sap. The other team leader, however, just looks at himself and laughs darkly.

Cardin:Oh, you've done it now...

Jaune humorously laughs to himself once more with his hands still raised in an attempt for defense as Dove Bronzewing and Sky Lark grab Jaune's shoulders and pull him in.

While Jaune takes his beating from team CRDL, teams RWBY and (J)NPR were talking with team HANT.

Nero:Oh! So you sing Weiss Schnee?

Weiss stands prideful.

Weiss:Indeed I do.

Yang:Wow. Never pegged you for the singing type Ice Queen.

Weiss huffs at Yang's comment.

Weiss:Stop calling me that!

Yang:Thaw out a little and maybe I will.

Weiss:Rrg.

Nero:I too partake in the art of singing. Perhaps the two of us can-

Tamamo covers Nero's mouth with her tail. Nero pushes Tamamo's tail away and spits out a few hairs.

Tamamo:Don't even think about it Baka Kotei. If you were to sing with Schnee-san, she would lose her audience the second you spoke.

Nero glares at Tamamo.

Nero:You take that back!

As Nero and Tamamo get into yet another argument, Yang leans to Hakuno.

Yang:They always like this?

Hakuno face palms with a sigh.

Hakuno:Unfortunately.

Hakuno brightens up a little.

Hakuno:Still. They may argue a lot, but they still manage to put it aside and focus on their goals. They may act like they can't stand each other, but their friends deep down. Like the annoying sister you can't help but love.

Ruby and Yang glance at each other and smile. Even though they annoy each other sometimes. It just makes them stronger as a family when they make up.

Weiss turns her attention to Hakuno.

Weiss:You know, you guys don't really talk that much about yourselves. Whenever we're together, you four always listen. If we're going to be friends, you should at least tell us more about yourselves.

Like, where you're from? How did you four meet?

Ruby looks at Weiss concerned.

Ruby:Weiss. If they don't want to talk about it, shouldn't bother them.

Weiss:Please. Don't act like you aren't curious about them as well. Especially after their performance during inintation.

I've never once seen or heard of a Semblance that makes a person's weapon appear out of thin air. Not to mention a team taking down a group of mutated Grimm by themselves.

Weiss narrows her eyes.

Weiss:The four of you clearly have the skills of a fully trained Huntress team. Pyrrha graduated at the top of her class and is the four time Mistral champion. It's odd that neither of you have entered a tournament.

The four saviors glance at each other with unreadable expressions. The other members of the group look towards each other feeling that Weiss may have gone too far. While they are curious where their new friends came from and where they got their skills. They knew it was ultimately up to them if they wanted to discuss it.

Weiss however was very suspicious of team HANT. They had skills that would take Huntresses-in training years to have. And they had odd weapons and Semblances. While Weiss did appreciate Hakuno's advice about being a better teammate, she couldn't help but feel team HANT was hiding something.

Before the group could continue however, they hear a loud roar.

Ruby:Did you guys hear that?

Suddenly, the remaining members of Team CRDL are seen running the other way from the roar through the other students.

Russel:Ursa! Ursa!

Russel accidentally runs into Yang who is unfazed by the collision and picks him up by his shirt.

Yang:What?! Where?

Russel struggles while running in air, but points back from where they came.

Russel:Back there! It's got Cardin!

Pyrrha:Jaune!

Ruby goes into leader mode as Yang drops Russel.

Ruby:Yang! You and Blake, go get Professor Goodwitch!

Hakuno turns to her Servants.

Hakuno:Nero. Altera. Go with them.

Pyrrha turns to Ren and Nora as her and Ruby activate their weapons.

Pyrrha:You two, go with them! There could be more!

The remainder of the teams nod and follow their orders as the rest go to rescue their friend. ...And Cardin.

Things were not going the way Cardin wanted. Not only did his whipping boy suddenly grow a backbone. He was now being attacked by an Ursa. To make matters worse, he's covered in sap. Making him a delicious target for the Grimm.

Cardin is attempts to run from the following Ursa, but it leaps over its prey and claws him away. He tries to get up and crawl away.

Cardin:Crap! Crap, crap!

Ruby and her group make their way on the scene.

Pyrrha:Oh, no!

They watch as the Ursa leans over the helpless victim, raising its paw and swiping it down... only to be blocked by Jaune's shield, Crocea Mors. He struggles to defend a stunned Cardin from its attempts to lean on him, but Weiss lifts Myrtenaster as she prepares to go help.

Pyrrha:Wait!

Jaune takes the shield out from the Ursa's paw and slashes at its stomach, causing it to lash out and try to crush him. He rolls out of the way and jumps over its swipe at his feet, but he is unprepared for when it launches a claw at him in midair. He lands far away, yet is immediately back on his feet and passing Cardin as he charges again. The Ursa knocks Jaune behind it when he tries for a leaping attack, and he looks at the Scroll in his shield to find out that his Aura level is in the red. He grows angry again and starts to run at the Ursa as it also begins to dash towards him.

As they are just about to clash in slow-motion, Pyrrha sees that Jaune has left himself completely open to the Ursa's attack, and lifts her hand out to him, gathering dark red energy in her arm. Just as the Ursa is about to hit him, the glow surrounds Jaune's shield and makes it lift up to block the swipe. Jaune uses the surprise defensive move to lean on the ground, push his shield back up, and swing his blade right through the Ursa's neck. The head falls to the ground as the body slams onto the ground. Pyrrha's hand stops glowing and she smiles.

Ruby:Uhhh... What?

Weiss:How did you...?

Pyrrha:Well, Ruby has her speed, you have your glyphs. My Semblance is polarity.

Ruby:Whoa, you can control poles...

Hakuno:She means she has control over magnetism.

Ruby:Magnets are cool, too...

Pyrrha turns to leave.

Weiss:Wait, where are you going?

Ruby:Yeah! We gotta tell them what happened!

Pyrrha:We could... Or perhaps we could keep it our little secret?

Pyrrha walks away again as Ruby and Weiss smile to each other in understanding. A bruised Jaune sheathes his weapon before going over to Cardin.

Cardin, still covered in sap, looks up at Jaune as his savior offers a hand. Cardin smiles as he takes it and is lifted back up on his feet.

Cardin:Holy crap, Jaune!

Jaune(Threateningly):Don't ever mess with my team - my friends - ever again. Got it?

Cardin looks intimidated, possibly even apologetic. With his order spoken, Jaune turns and walks away from a frozen Cardin. As the girls turn around to follow Pyrrha, Hakuno turns to Weiss.

Hakuno:Listen, Weiss.

I know me and my team haven't been very social with everyone. But please try to understand that there are some things that we like to keep to ourselves. Just know, that doesn't mean we aren't friends.

Everyone has secrets, right?

Weiss looks down and closes her eyes for a moment before opening them and turning to Hakunko.

Weiss:I understand.

And I apologize for my behavior earlier. Still, I hope there will be a time when you're willing to share your story with us.

Hakuno smiles.

Hakuno:Of course.

Hakuno closes her eyes and frowns.

Hakuno:(Sorry Weiss.)

(But there are some things about us that should stay a secret.)

While everyone else leaves, Tamamo and Cardin remain where they are. Tamamo gives Cardin a mischievous smirk.

Tamamo:Just to make sure you remember that threat.

Tamamo shoots a bolt of lightning at Cardin. Causing him to scream like a girl yet again.

Cardin:GYAHHH!

Tamamo:Just so you know Winchester-san, my hearing is more acute than most faunus.

Tamamo walks away laughing.

Tamamo:Who's the stupid animal now? Oh-ho-ho-ho.

Cardin:IM..S-STILL...B-BEING SHOCKED H-HERE!

-To be continued-
