Last time
A faint-but-growing-louder scream of "Heads uuuuuuuup!" is heard when Ruby falls from the sky towards the trio.
(Five Minutes before)
Weiss: (shouting to be heard) Ruby! I told you this was a terrible idea!
Ruby: (also raising her voice) We're fine! Stop worrying!
Weiss: I am so far beyond worrying!
Ruby: In a good way?
Weiss: In a bad way! In a very bad way!
Ruby: Well, why don't we just jump?
Weiss: What are you? Insane?!
She is met with silence; Ruby has already disappeared.
Weiss: Oh, you insufferable little red-!
Down on the ground in the Abandoned Temple, Blake Belladonna and Bruce Wayne are still staring skyward and pointing for Yang Xiao Long to look up after
Yang: Blake, did you hear that? What should we do?
Bruce: I think we have bigger problems than that. (Preparing to jump up. Channeling aura into his legs to counteract the speed she is going)
Ruby: (falling right towards them, finally getting Yang's attention) Heads uuuuuuuup!
Bruce finally leaps off the round intent on catching her. Just as she's about to hit the ground panicking, Jaune comes flying through the air and crashes into Ruby, knocking her off course and sending them both into a tree to the left of where Blake and Yang are standing, leaving Bruce still going up with a dumbfounded face. Ruby is dazed by the rough landing with cutesy Beowolves and stars circling her head.
Ruby: Oohhhh... What was that? (the dizziness passes when she shakes her head)
Jaune: Eh-hem! (Ruby looks up to see Jaune hanging upside-down in a tree branch above her) Hey, Ruby...
Blake: (back on the ground, looking at the tree) Did your sister just fall from the sky?
Yang: I...
Before she can continue, several crashing noises are heard in the forest ahead of them, and an Ursa comes out, claws swiping, just as a pink blast of energy hits it in the back and it crashes to the ground, depositing its rider.
Nora: YEEEE-HAAAAW! (rolls off of the creature's back, then gets up and groans, saddened) Awwww... It's broken. (she dashes onto its neck and observes the carcass as Ren comes up behind her)
Ren: (panting and leaning on the monster) Nora! Please... Don't ever do that again. (he looks up again and notices by the pink dotted outline of where his partner should be that Nora has run off again, and looks around frantically)
Nora: (staring at a golden rook relic, causing everyone to look at her shocked.) Oooohh... (suddenly grabs it, she dances and sings with the chess piece) I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!
Ren (off-screen): Nora!
Nora: (stops dancing with the rook on her head, then salutes, dropping the relic into her hand) Coming, Ren! (skips off to her friend)
Blake: Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?
Yang: I...
She is interrupted once more as a screech is heard from their right, and Pyrrha Nikos comes onto the scene as the scorpion creature uproots entire trees in its chase after her. Pyrrha narrowly dodges its giant claws and keeps on running.
Pyrrha: Jaune!
Jaune: Pyrrha!
Ruby: (standing up, looking at the monster below) Whoa! (she starts running off of the branch and landing in a roll)
Jaune: (whining) Ruby!
Yang: (as Ruby stands up, back on the ground) Ruby!
Ruby: (excited) Yang! (raises her arms as if to give her sister a hug)
Nora: "Nora!" (comes between the two and knocking them off-balance in surprise)
The scorpion Grimm continues to follow Pyrrha as she runs.
Ruby: Hay, where's Bruce?
Blake: Did she just run all the way here with a Death Stalker on her tail?
Yang: (getting angrier until she growls and erupts in a small burst of fire, eyes flashing red) I can't take it anymore! Can everyone just chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again?!
The tick-tock of a clock counts down the two seconds of Yang cooling down.
Ruby: Umm... Yang? (tugs on her sister's sleeve and points)
Up above, Bruce is seen gliding slowly with his cape. Above him, Weiss is hanging on a talon the size of her entire body that belongs to a gigantic Nevermore.
Weiss: (calling down to Ruby) How could you leave me?!
Ruby: (shouting up at Weiss) I said "jump"!
Blake: She's gonna fall.
Ruby: She'll be fine.
Ren: She's falling.
Bruce: 'So maybe I put too much aura into that' (Suddenly Weiss is shooting past him towards the ground at near terminal velocity, causing him to react.) "WEISS!" ( He then dives after her trying to catch up to her.)
Jaune is finally out of the tree, panting until he looks up and grins at the sight of Weiss falling through the air, giving him the opportunity to jump off the branch with arms. As he does this, a red streak catches her, leaving him to fall towards the ground.
Jaune: AWWWW, COME ON!
Weiss is speechless... She looks at Bruce as he hold her securely, keeping her from danger, her arms around his neck. She blushes furiously and looks down as they glide down to the group. They land with Bruce holding her bridal style. He sets her down gently. She silently thanks him and walks to the others, leaving an confused Bruce and an angry Ruby. Only Yang notices her hidden features because she, well grew up with her.
Yang: (whispering) looks like you have some competition. (This causes the youngest of the half-sisters to turn like Weiss red)
Two things distrubt this scene. One is Jaune hitting the floor with a loud thump. The second is the Death Stalker slamming Pyrrha, but she manages to land on her side at the feet of the heroes.
Yang: Great! The gang's all here! Now we can die together!
Bruce: Yeah, you go captain optimistic! (He gets another punch, this one hard.)
Ruby: Not if I can help it! (sounds a battle cry and rushes towards the Grimm)
Yang: Ruby, wait!
Ruby, still screaming, fires Crescent Rose and charges at the oncoming Death Stalker. When the two meet, the Grimm swipes Ruby away and she is knocked back.
Ruby: (getting up slowly) D-Do-Don't worry! Totally fine!
Ruby turns back to the monster and shoots it in the skull, running away from it and sheathing her scythe as the Death Stalker now goes after her.
Yang: (running forward) Ruby!
Ruby rushes towards Yang, but the Nevermore caws above them, flapping its wings and releasing lines of sharpened feathers with points that catch on Ruby's cape and Bruce pulls Yang from the projectiles.
Bruce: Ruby, get out of there!
Ruby: (struggling with the cloak) I'm trying!
The Death Stalker approaches, raising its golden stinger and spreading it's claws to the sides of her above a scared Ruby and heading down on the helpless girl.
Yang: (reaching out in vain) Ruby!
A white and black/red blur races past Yang and reaches the stinger just as it's about to pierce her and smash the remains/
Weiss (off-screen): You are so childish!
Ruby opens her eyes to the sight of the stinger encased in ice and looks over her shoulder and see's Bruce holding the claws back with peace and Harmony.
Ruby: Weiss...?
Weiss: (continues to berate Ruby as she removes Myrtenaster from the ice) And dim-witted, and hyperactive, and don't even get me started on your fighting style. And I suppose I can be a bit... difficult... but if we're going to do this, we're going to have to do this together. So if you quit trying to show off, I'll be... nicer.
Ruby: I'm not trying to show off. I want you to know I can do this.
Weiss: You're fine.
Ruby: (breathes a sigh of relief, then closes her eyes and clasps her hands as she gratefully whispers:) Normal knees... (she gets up and stares at the Death Stalker as it struggles to escape with its tail trapped in the ice) Whoa!
Bruce: I don't mean to break up this nice make up, but I can't hold these back forever. (Ruby quickly moves out of the way)
Bruce then leaps up to dodge the claws closing in on him. He channels aura into his blades, causing them to ignite and slashes the claws, leaving two burning cuts. He then jumps back landing on one hand and leaps off of that one to return to the group.
Yang rushes up to Ruby and gives her a hug (which Ruby grunts at upon receiving).
Yang: So happy you're okay!
Bruce: Ruby… (she looks down, ready to hear words like Weiss's, but her eyes go wide as he pulls her into a soft hug, almost making sure she is actually there) Please…. Never do that again.
She return the hug with a smile on her face. Yang interrupts the two by joining in. Later Nora joins in.
Jaune: (back with the group) Guys? That thing's circling back! What are we gonna do? ( this forces the group to slpit apart and focus on the situation at hand)
Weiss: Look, there's no sense in dilly-dallying. Our objective is right in front of us. (the heroes stare at the relics)
Ruby: She's right. Our mission is to grab an artifact and make it back to the Cliffs. (nods to Weiss) There's no point in fighting these things.
Jaune: Run and live - that's an idea I can get behind!
Ruby goes over and grabs a gold knight (identical to the one Yang picked out) and Jaune takes hold of a gold rook (similar to Nora and Ren's piece), smiling at each other. The Death Stalker continues to fight its bonds, cracking the ice a little in the process.
Ren: Time we left!
Ruby: Right. (waves to the others) Let's go! (goes forward with everyone following except for a smiling Yang and Blake as the latter approaches her partner)
Blake: What is it?
Yang: (staring proudly at Ruby as she leaps on a boulder and motions the group onward) Nothing... (she moves on as Blake smiles in realization and leaves as well. Leaving Bruce to stare at the group leaving, before turning towards the temples and pulling out a bat-a-rang and gives it a hard throw at the sky before rushing off)
The group is heading out of the forest and into another abandoned series of structures as the Nevermore follows them from the air. They spread out when it passes above, concealing themselves behind some of the stone blocks with their allies as it perches on a high column and caws.
Yang: (annoyed) Well, that's great!
Jaune looks behind at the Death Stalker bursting onto through some trees.
Jaune: Ah, man, run! (the group emerges from their hiding spots and causing the Nevermore to rise up into the air)
Ren: Nora, distract it!
Nora obliges, running out from her block and jumping through the feather projectiles before reaching behind her and launching several heart-topped shells from her grenade launcher, bursting into pink electricity when they hit the Nevermore, and causing it to retreat. She is unaware of the Death Stalker rushing up behind her until Blake and Ren perform a cross-slash with their Gambol Shroud and StormFlower against its shell. Weiss lands next to Nora so she can create a jumping platform beneath them and leap to safety while Blake and Ren are now being chased.
Pyrrha: Go, go! (stops running beside Jaune and gets out Miló, firing red shots along Ren's green blasts for a second until it reaches them and tries to swipe, prompting the group to run again)
The nine race over the ancient stone bridge, not noticing the Nevermore closing in on them until it uses its giant wings to shatter the path right in the middle, forcing Ruby, Weiss, Yang, Nora, and Jaune closer to the central collection of columns and Bruce, Blake, Ren, and Pyrrha on the other side with the Death Stalker. Ruby fires at the retreating Nevermore while Blake is beaten back by the scorpion.
Jaune: (coming to the edge of the break in the bridge) Man, we gotta get over there! They need help!
Nora: (running up beside him) Let's do this!
Jaune: (looks down at the misty abyss) Yeah, but, uh... I can't make that jump.
Nora smiles diabolically at him, laughing as she knocks him back, turns her weapon to its full-length hammer form, and jumps to the edge of the bridge.
Jaune: (seeing what she's about to do) "Oh, wait!" (too late, she slams the hammer into the bridge and throws Jaune to the other side, constantly screaming:) No, no, no, no, no, no!
Nora places one foot on the hammer and fires it off the collapsing section of bridge, launching her to slam its face right in the center of the Death Stalker's skull. She fires it just as the stinger comes down to get her, and blasts back again to avoid its reach, accidentally knocking into Blake into Bruce making them fall from the edge. They see the Nevermore above them, look at each other and nod. Bruce connects a metal rope to peace and launches it at the Nevermore, impaling it. Blake launches her whip so the gun's blade sinks into the edge of the bridge, circling around and leaping onto the aerial Grimm's back. She dashes all over its body, slashing the entire time, before jumping off and landing on the ruined platform at the top of the columns next to Ruby, then going over to Yang and Weiss. Bruce then swings up and ignites his blades once again and slashes through the body, landing by the quartet with a roll.
Blake: It's tougher than it looks!
Yang: (readying her Ember Celica) Then let's hit it with everything we got!
The Nevermore approaching, Ruby, Blake, Weiss, and Yang set their weapons to fire a barrage of blasts at the bird, which it either dodges or takes harmlessly until it crashes through the columns and platform. The girls and guy leap from one section of falling stone to the next until they reach the higher bridge on top, just below the cliffs.
Weiss: None of this is working!
Ruby: (watching Blake whip over to another section of the area and Yang firing round after flaming round at the Grimm, while Bruce is on top of the Grimm, stabbing into it with ease with his ignited blades) I have a plan! Cover me! (she blasts away as Weiss raises her blade and heads into the fray)
Down below, the Death Stalker is still battling Jaune, Ren, Nora, and Pyrrha.
Jaune: We gotta move! (they all rush towards it)
The Death Stalker aims a claw at Pyrrha, but she deflects it with her Akoúo shield and slashes it with her blade. The scorpion recoils and swipes at her with its other claw, but Jaune is there to deflect it with his shield, knocking it back so Pyrrha can leap over and attack its face. Ren runs up firing and gets on the stinger when it tries to hit him, shooting at the base between it and the tail while Nora fires more grenades at the attacking claws. Pyrrha hurls her javelin straight into one of the monster's ten eyes, making it throw Ren to the side.
Nora: Ren!
Ren hits the side of a stone block hard and falls to the ground, not getting back up. Jaune, though, manages to stand and notice the stinger is hanging limply.
Jaune: "Pyrrha!"
Pyrrha: Done! (she raises the shield and hurls it like a discus, slicing the stinger off and causing it to fall into the Death Stalker's head as Pyrrha retrieves her rebounding shield)
Jaune: Nora, nail it!
Nora: Heads up! (she jumps on Akoúo, Pyrrha leaps as Nora aims her blast down to give herself a maximum lift, and she smiles the entire way up before twirling down until her hammer slams its head into the stinger, driving the point through the Death Stalker's head and crushing the bridge beneath it)
Jaune and Pyrrha bound over the monster to the land behind it, and Nora fires up and away behind them as the monster falls to its doom. Jaune hits the ground on his back, Nora lands on her bottom, Pyrrha manages a crouched pose, and Ren simply walks over to them, panting and groaning until he just collapses. The other three get up and watch as the Nevermore is peppered with firepower.
Yang is still burning through her ammo on the beast, landing a blow at its face and causing it to head right towards her, but she leaps for its open maw and forces the beak wide as she attacks.
Yang: (screaming and firing a round with each syllable) I! Hope! You're! Hung-! ...-gry! (she looks behind her with shock as Bruce grans her and jumps back from its mouth onto a ruin, causing the creature to crash into the cliffs)
Despite Yang's attempts, the Nevermore recovers quickly, and Yang smiles as she spots Ruby and Blake on the broken columns with Weiss rushing to the battle. Yang passes her while the Nevermore starts to fly back up, but Weiss hops over to the ruin it's lifting off of and freezes the tip of its feathery tail to the ground, leaving it stuck in the same spot despite its flapping. Weiss back-flips into a snowflake-circle jump and lands on the other side, running to the group.
Ruby: Bruce, on me! Weiss, put extra strength on your glyph! (She does this as bruce and her begin to tinker with their weapons, combining them.
Blake fires the pistol portion of Gambol Shroud over to Yang, and the two tighten it between the columns so Ruby and Bruce can jump on the center with Crescent Rose and bend it back into Weiss' black sigil, right next to the caster.
Weiss: Of course you would come up with this idea.
Ruby: Think you can make the shot?
Weiss: (confident) Hmm! Can I!
A second passes.
Ruby: Can't?
Weiss: Of course I can!
Bruce: I hope so.
Ruby looks forward and pumps peaceful flower. Bruce channel his aura into the blade, igniting it as Weiss turns the circle from black to red and releases the duo at such a speed that the ground behind her launch cracks, rose petals flying from her ascent. With each new shot, they gets closer and closer to the trapped Grimm until the scythe catches the Nevermore's neck in its blade, digging into it with ease ,and causes them both to fall to the cliff wall. Weiss raises her sword and creates a series of white circles up the wall, which Ruby and Bruce dashes through by firing the entire way up.
Yang, Blake, and an exhausted Weiss watch them climb up with the bird in her grasp until, both warriors and monster crying out, the duo reach the top of the cliff and circle up, Bruce adds a pumps of his aura, and rends the Nevermore's head from its shoulders in a shower of petals.
Ruby lands beside the severed head as the body of the giant Nevermore falls lifeless to the ruins and crevice below, looks left and returns a smile to Bruce, while the girls and, farther away, Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora, and Ren watch in amazement.
Ruby: How did you keep up with me?
Bruce: No clue…
Jaune: Wow...
Their capes and petals flowing with the wind.
Yang: Well... That was a thing. And so are they!
Ozpin: Russel Thrush. Cardin Winchester. Dove Bronzewing. Sky Lark. (the screen of the auditorium shows each of their profiles as the boys are lined up for the applauding audience to see as Ozpin continues) The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team CRDL, led by... Cardin Winchester!
The audience gives one more wave of ovation, while four students walk up to the stage to take their places in front of the headmaster as their faces fill the screen.
Ozpin: Jaune Arc. Lie Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team JNPR.
Amid the clapping, Nora laughs and gives Ren a hug.
Ozpin: Led by... Jaune Arc!
Jaune: Huh? L-Led by...?
Ozpin: Congratulations, young man.
A grinning Pyrrha offers a friendly shoulder bump to Jaune, but her "fine leader" is knocked over and falls to his butt in front of the laughing audience.
Ozpin: And finally: Blake Belladonna. Ruby Rose. Weiss Schnee. Yang Xiao Long. (motions over the four as they stand before him) The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team RWBY. Led by... Ruby Rose!
Weiss looks to her right surprised, where Ruby is obviously in shock as Yang goes over to hug her sister.
Yang: I'm so proud of you!
Ozpin: And last but not least, would Bruce Wayne come forward. (he comes up and stares at him in his eyes) You shall be a 'special student' but for the most part, you will be part of team RWBY, we will go over details of this position later, for now , go join your team.
Bruce slowly turns to the group while looking down. He slowly bring his head up along with his arms, gesturing for a hug, only for yang to put him in a head lock and giving his head a knuckle-sandwich. The audience laughs at this.
Yang: Welcome to the family! (The rest of the team smile brightly at this)
Ozpin: (amid the last round of cheers) It looks like things are shaping up to be an... interesting year.
(Later)
Bruce: And….That is the last of the bags.
Blake: You know you didn't have to do that, right?
Bruce: (Smiling brightly at her) Don't have to, but want to.
They smile at each other until they hear a footstep from down the hall, causing them both to look in that direction. From the corner turns Weiss with one of her butlers behind her, carrying her luggage to the door and setting it down.
Butler: Will that be all Ms. Schnee?
Weiss: Yes, that is all. You may leave. (He leave to reveal Bruce and Blake standing their, looking at her astonished.) What?
All three enter to find Ruby and Yang taking their pajama's out of their luggage.
Ruby: Hey guys, where have you been?
Blake: Well I was with Bruce who carried my luggage here.
Weiss: Can we talk tomorrow, I am tired!
Yang: Not gonna lie, feeling pretty sluggish myself.
Ruby: Alright tonights first order of business is sleep! (She falls back on one of the beds on the room
Blake: Wait, there are only four beds. Where is Bruce going to sleep?
All four of the girls look towards Bruce, as he opens the door. He turns to look at them.
Bruce: Ohh, I have a separate room. It is literally next door.
Ruby: Okay, Good night.
Blake: Sleep tight.
Yang: don't let the bed bugs bite.
Weiss: Hurry up! I need to change!
Bruce: Alright, good night!
He then leaves their room and heads to his own. When he enters, all of his belongings are already there and set up. He walks over to his piano and plays a weird sounding rift, causing his closet to open up revealing an elevator that leads down. He steps out as its destination is the batcave. He walks over to the batcomputer and begins typing. The screen shows a map of remnant before zooming in on a tracking beacon.
Bruce: Computer, add theis location to the batmobiles batwave.
Computer: Affirmative. Task complete.
Bruce: Which suits are available?
Computer: The stealth suit(Batman Beyond) Is going under its final re-calibration after saving the Schnee Heiress. The Fear suit (Nolan trilogy) is still in shipment from location #24, the brute(BVS) and Savior( The batman(' wiki/Batman_(The_Batman)') are available.
Bruce: Bring up the Savior and the Batmobile v2.
Computer: Affirmative.
HE gets up from the computer and walks over to a case which opens revealing the suit. He puts it on and walks over to a pole that glows blue at his touch. He then shoots down towards the track tha has his car waiting for him. He land sand leap high and forwards, landing perfectly inside. He presses a button that automatically closes the top, and the changes the gear before shooting off into the tunnel. On the side of a mountain, rock begin to slide open as the car shoots out and drives into the night.
A shadowy room filled with shelves and a desk in the back, where Roman Torchwick is getting a call on his phone. The muffled conversation ends, and Roman angrily slams the phone down, sighing. He holds a cigar to his mouth and puts his symbolized lighter to the end, just as a man in a gray mask and black hood comes with a trolley. Roman holds out a collection of Lien, which he places on the table and the man takes.
Roman: Open it.
The masked man does so with a crowbar, revealing a large amount of Dust crystals of varying colors - orange, blue, white, red, green, cyan, gold, yellow, and more. Roman picks up a blue gem in his hand and looks at the loot.
Roman: Put it with the rest.
The masked man nods and starts to walk away, another man comes up to Roman.
Man 2: So boss, why are we relocating again.
Roman: Because, that bat brat know that we are here and we don't need him finding all of this now, do we?
Man 2: No we don't, but how does he know we are here.
Roman: do you ever take that shirt off?
Man 2: (Weirded out) U-umm yeah, not this week though.
Roman: Take it off now!
Man 2: (Scared)S-sure.( he proceeds to take it off and hands it to Roman, who is waiting with his hand open)
Roman: Now look here what I found. ( He takes off a bat shaped tracker the is blinking softly. Roman look at the man and makes a walk towards him)
Man 2: B-boss, I'm sorry! I-I didn't know. I'll make up for it I swear!
He walks back into a man wearing a white and red mask. On his back is a chainsaw/sword. He blocks the exits.
Roman: I know you will….. (Faster than the man could react, Roman takes out a pistol and shoots him in the head, leaving a whole.
Roman: Lieutenant you stay here and greet our guest when he arrive (The man blocking the door nods and walks away) Alright people, we are leaving!
