RWBY Shattered Dreams Volume 2 (Episode 8)
Episode 8: “Field Mission”
(The scene takes place Ozpin's office; General James Ironwood & Glynda Goodwitch are present as well with Lucas Nineheart & General Lance. Ruby & Raiden have arrived to discuss their encounter with the two mysterious assailants)
Ozpin: Thank you both for coming. How are you both feeling?
Ruby: Okay, I guess. I'd feel better if my bad-guy-catching record wasn't O-for-three.
(Everyone stares silently)
Ruby: Okay, so that's the tone we're going for, got it.
Ironwood: Ruby, I feel it's appropriate to let you know that—
Lucas: (intervenes the conversation) What you two did last night was an actor of good instinct. We expect nothing less.
Ironwood: Lucas! What are you—
Lucas: Sorry Ironwood. But I believe we should just get strait to the point.’
Ironwood: (he looks upset & looks at the other direction with his arms cross)
Lucas: *sigh* (looks at Raiden & Ruby) Ruby, Son… can you explain what happen last night in great detail?
Ozpin: It will help us identified these two people.
(They both took turns to talk)
Ruby: Well… Ok. Last night Raiden & I went outside to get some air…
Raiden: Until I saw something moving on the rooftops. We got curious of what are does people doing so we made chase.
Ruby: We arrive to the SSTS Tower when we saw guard on the floor; barely injured.
Raiden: We assume those two are hostile so we took arms & wen to confront them.
Ruby: We took the elevator & we confronted them.
Glynda: Was anyone else with them? Did they look familiar to you at all?
Ruby: I... I don't know. She was wearing a mask, and she never said anything to me. But I know she fought with glass. I don't think that was her Semblance, though. Her clothing lit up whenever she attacked.
Glynda: Save for the glass, that sounds like the woman I fought the night we met Ruby.
Raiden: But that’s not all. (Gynda caught his attention) His accomplish… he was wearing a scarf & a hood to hide his head… but the moment I saw his eyes… it was the same person I have encountered on that fateful night.
Glynda: The very same person that attack us on the day of Axel’s robbery?
Raiden: The Very same.
Ironwood: Please. Can you tell us more about this person?
Raiden: (he nods) It seems that he is an expert in combat I can give him that, it seems he knows what he is doing; could be a strategist, but when he started to use his burn-like weapons I started to understand what he is using, but…
Lance: But what sir.
Raiden: It just… feel so stupid to say it.
Ozpin: Raiden. Whatever you’re going to say… we’re ready.
Raiden: (he takes a deep breath) I think he’s using magic.
(Everyone stares silently & in shock)
Lucas: Magic?
Raiden: I know it sounds stupid but… I can’t think of another possibility.
Lance: Is that even possible?
Raiden: Well… I know what type of semblance he is using.
Glynda: What semblance did he use?
Ruby: Well… base on his observation it seems he can manipulate the flames he cast.
Raiden: By controlling its temperatures he can turn them into his “scorch weapons”. And I know sir Ironwood that you’re going to ask this: Is he using a device that can spit out fire & the answered is no. He was wearing an almost tight outfit & that will make it harder to carry such device.
Lucas: Hmm… then we might have a problem.
Ruby: Wait. You think this girl is connected to Torchwick and the White Fang?
Ozpin: It's possible. But we still lack the required evidence to link the two together.
Lucas: I beg to differ on that.
Glynda: What do you mean?
Lucas: The boy that confronted my son last night… was the same person as Axel partner. But not only that… Axel keeps rambling about the incident of Haven Town.
Ironwood: That’s in the region of Vacuo, right?
Lucas: Indeed. I believe this person is link with the incident of Haven Town. But I need more information to comply a solution.
Ozpin: Interesting. (thinks for a moment) Thank you for your cooperation, Ruby & Raiden. Why don't you two go and spend some time with your teams? You have a big day ahead of you both.
Raiden: (nods) Of course (leaving).
Ruby: (leaving) Any time.
Ozpin: And Mister Raiden & Miss Rose, please try and be ... discreet about this matter.
Ruby: Yes sir.
Raiden: Of course sir.
(The door to Team RWBY's dorm room opens, revealing Yang Xiao Long, Blake Belladonna, Weiss Schnee, Osamu Genji, Sebastian Edzard & Edgar Damiano inside. The six zoom over to the persons in the door, who is revealed to be Ruby & Raiden)
Yang: What happened?
Sebastian: Please tell us, what happen?
Ruby: Uh... well, um... (laughing nervously while Raiden is doing the same)
(The scene shifts to Lucas & Lance talking in a hallway of the school. Lucas was looking at a nearby window; thinking about the boy that attack his son last night)
Lance: A year old case? Sorry if I speak out of line but you’re talking about re-opening a case that was close a year ago. You think is wise to re-open it now?
Lucas: We have to if we want to solve this mystery. Either that or innocents will get hurt.
Lance: I know but… why did you say we should continue the Vytal Festival back at that office.
(Lucas looks back at the window & looks to the sky. The light of the sun was so bright that the scene fades to white & shifts to three minutes earlier; back at Ozpin’s office)
Ironwood: Well there we have it. We send as many troops as we can to the southeast, find out exactly what's going on, and eradicate any forces that stand in our way.
Glynda: (growls in frustration) Why must your answer to everything involve a triumphant display of military bravado!? You treat every situation like it's a contest of measuring di—!
Ozpin: Glynda!
Glynda: Well, he does—
Lucas: (enrage) ENOUGH!
(Everyone stood silently)
Lucas: (he cools down & fixes his hair) Sorry for the outburst.
Lance: Then what we should do, shall we cancel the Festival?
Lucas: No. *sigh* The Festival will go on. We just need to be discrete about this so we can cause a stir.
Ironwood: And what do you mean by that?
Lucas: We all know we’re on edge right now. We know that these two infiltrated the SSTS Tower & they uploaded some type of viruses. We don’t know what it can do… but there is no need to panic.
Ironwood: Oh really? I have served Ozpin faithfully for years... but if he means to tell me that his plan is to really hold the defenses, and wait—!
Lucas: (slams the desk & Ozpin gets spook) THERE IS NO NEED TO PANIC!!!
(Ironwood was surprise on his response; knowing that he’s ignoring the subject. Everyone else stood silently)
Lucas: (triggerd) There is no need to apply violence… not in my ci-ty. (he regains his composure) I’ve been defending this city for a long time since the foundation of my company & you think that I’m doing a terrible job at it?
Ironwood: I’m… I’m not saying that you’re doing—
Lucas: (triggered) Well you better get your act together & help these people… (he gets close to his face) General. (Ironwood stood there silently) Lance, we’re leaving. (walks offcreen)
(Lance looks at Ironwood with disappointment)
Lance: You should heed to his advice. You’re not the only one that is protecting these people you know. (walks offscreen)
(The scene fades to white & it returns back to Lucas & Lance in the hallway)
Lucas: We need to make the people think their safe… I can’t hope to see everyone running & panicking. My wife wouldn’t want that.
Lance: (feels bad for him) I know. Maria wouldn’t like this to happen…but I promis you sir; I’ll do everything in my power to keep everyone safe.
Lucas: *giggle* Thank you… Lance.
(The scene cuts back to Team RWBY's dorm)
Weiss: That was a risky move you two made.
Blake: No, I think you both handled it well.
Ruby: I hope so. But I’m worried about Raiden though. This was the second time he met that person.
Yang: I'm sure everything will be alright, Ruby. Oh, I know what will cheer you up!
(Yang produces a cylindrical package the length of her forearm)
Ruby: What's that?
Yang: I don't know yet. Dad sent it to us. I thought we could open it together!
Ruby: Ooooh! Something from home!
(Ruby zooms over to Yang and wraps herself around Yang, trying to take the cylinder from her. The package opens, and another cylinder, hairy and black, falls out onto the floor and starts to shake. The object suddenly transforms into a corgi. Team RWBY leans in, staring at it. The animal barks twice. While Weiss and Blake continue to react with great shock, Ruby and Yang react excitedly, with Ruby jumping in the air. Ruby, still airborne, is depicted among a changing blue background and four shots of the dog, two full body shots and two headshots. She then poses as she shouts the dog's name)
Ruby: Zwei!
Blake: He sent a dog?
Weiss: In the mail?
Yang: Oh, he does stuff like this all the time!
(Blake disappears, shown now to be on Ruby's bunk)
Blake: Your father or your dog?
Weiss: Are you telling me that this mangy... drooling... mutt is going to wiv wif us foweva? Oh, yes he is, yes he is! Oh, isn't he adorable!
Blake: Please keep it away from my belongings.
Raiden: (offscreen) OH… MY… GOOOD! (he jumps from offscreen & grabs Zwei. He proceeds to cuddle him uncontrollably) OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! THIS DOG IS SO CUTE! HE’S SO CUTE! HE’S SO CUTE! HE SO CUTE!
(Genji, Sebastian & Edgar at the doorway)
Edgar: (confuse) Do you know what is going on?
Genji: (confuse) I have no idea.
Sebastian: (approaches Raiden) Hey Raiden.
Raiden: (he realizes & regains he’s composure. He stands up & puts Zwei down) Oh sorry for that girls.
Ruby: What was that?
Sebastian: Raiden is a fanatic with cute dog or puppies. Once he sees one he can’t resist the urge to cuddle them.
Raiden: It’s a bad habit, sorry.
Yang: It’s ok. It seems Zwei likes you.
Raiden: You think?
Wolf: (offscreen) Raiden.
Raiden: Wolf!
(Lightning Wolf enters the room in his non-armor up appearance)
Wolf: Your father wanted you to have this.
Raiden: (he takes it from his mouth) A chip?
Wolf: It’s a chip that will upgrade you sword.
Raiden: Oh thank you Wolf.
Wolf: (he looks at Zwei) Who is this? (he approaches Zwei)
Yang: Oh this is Zwei. He is our pet.
Wolf: Your… pet? (Zwei looks at him & he lick his nose) Huh?
Raiden: I think he likes you.
Glynda: (Over the intercom) Would all first-year students please report to the amphitheater?
Raiden: Oh yeah! Today is the day we go on our very first field mission.
Sebastian: Oh yeah! I can’t wait!
Genji: So what are we waiting for? Let’s go.
Raiden: Ok. See you at the amphitheater girls! (he & his team along with Wolf leave the room)
Ruby: See ya soon guys.
Weiss: Well, we can't exactly leave him here while we're gone for the week.
(Ruby sets Zwei down and he walks over to Blake still on the top bunk, and barks)
Yang: Look, there's a letter! (Zwei arrives in front of Yang) "Dear girls, I've got to leave the island for a few days, so I'm sending Zwei to you to take care of. Enclosed is all the food you should need. Love you both, Taiyang."
(Dozens of cans of dog food spill out of the small package, piling up around Zwei)
Weiss: What is he supposed to do with that?
(A can opener falls from the package, bouncing off Zwei's head)
Yang: Well, that settles it! Come on girls, Zwei will be here when we get back!
Weiss: (talking to Zwei as she leaves) Oh, I'll miss you so much, we're going to be best friends, I can't wait to see you. (her speech deteriorates into incomprehensible baby talk)
(Meanwhile, Blake jumps down from Ruby's bunk and jumps across the table, avoiding Zwei. Ruby stares at Zwei for a moment, before smiling sneakily. Ruby is caring a large backpack as she enters the auditorium with other students. She then puts it down next to other student’s luggage before rejoining her team, who are standing in front of Team JNPR)
Glynda: Quiet! Quiet please. Professor Ozpin would like to share a few words before we begin.
Ozpin: Today we stand together, united. Mistral. Atlas. Vacuo. Vale. The four Kingdoms of Remnant. On this day, nearly eighty years ago, the largest war in recorded history came to an end. It was a war of ignorance, of greed, and of oppression. A war that was about much more than where borders fell or who traded with whom, but about the very idea of individualism itself. We fought for countless reasons, one of which being the destruction of all forms of art and self-expression. And as you are well aware, that was something many could not stand for. As a result, those who opposed this tyranny began naming their children after one of the core aspects of art itself: color. It was their way to demonstrate that not only would they refuse to tolerate this oppression, but neither were the generations to come. And it was a trend that is held to this very day. We encourage individuality, expressionism, and unity through diversity. As I have said, today we stand together, united. But this bond cannot exist without effort. Which is why today, while the rest of the world celebrates peace, Huntsmen and Huntresses will work to uphold it. As first year students, you will be tasked with shadowing a professional Huntsman or Huntress on a mission. Some of you may be taken out of the Kingdom for several days. Others may work within the walls for the rest of the week. But no matter which path you choose, remember to be safe, remember your training, and remember to do your very best.
(Ozpin steps away as the students all begin to file out of the amphitheater)
Ruby: This is perfect! All we have to do is shadow a Huntsman working in the southeast!
Yang: Yeah! We'll follow them around by day and give them the slip by night!
Weiss: Hey… are those they guys? (everyone looks at her direction to see Raiden & his team looking at the missions)
Ruby: Let’s check it out.
(The scene cuts to team ROSE)
Genji: Hmm… "search and destroy", “recon”, “exploration”.
Raiden: There are so many to choose from. (looks at the hologram screen) Hey look! We can do this!
Genji: (Reads the report) Hmm… it seems there is something shady going on in Quadrant 5. It seems thei are rumor to be that some people are doing some illegal activities there.
Ruby: Hey guys. (she & her team walks in)
Raiden: Hey girls. Aye you here to go to Quadrant 5 as well?
Blake: What do you mean?
(Ruby looks at the hologram screen)
Ruby: Oh look girls! Quadrant 5 needs Grimm cleared out!
Raiden: Wow! That’s the same place we want to go as well!
Blake: Well, it's in the southeast!
Yang: Sounds perfect!
Sebastian: then it looks like that we’re heading to the same direction then.
(Ruby & Raiden selects it and types in their team names. However, the screen says that first years are not allowed to take this mission)
Weiss: Wonderful!
Edgar: What happen? Why can’t we go there?
Raiden: It seems this mission is for more for expert huntsmen only; like in the videogames that you need to be in a certain level to go on these types of missions.
Blake: Any other ideas?
Ruby: We mail ourselves there!
Ozpin: (offscreen) Well, that's one option.
(Ozpin suddenly appears)
Ozpin: Unfortunately, we determined that the concentration of Grimm was too extreme for first-year students. It seems that particular region is rather popular. In fact, I have the sneaking suspicion that the four of you individually will make your way there no matter which job you choose)
(Weiss, Blake, and Yang glare at Ruby, who nervously rubs her head while the boys understand the situation)
Ruby: Whatever makes you say that?
Ozpin: I'm still curious how you all found yourself at the docks last semester. I'm interested to know how you really learned about a hideout in the southeast. And I certainly wonder why witnesses reported seeing robots and rose petals in a dance club some time ago.
Ruby: Um... well...
Ozpin: I doubt I'll ever find the exact answers I'm looking for. So how about this: instead of waiting for you all to break the rules, why don't we just bend them?
(Ozpin selects some things on his scroll, and the hologram screen makes a noise)
Ruby: We won't let you down. Thank you, professor.
Raiden: Don’t you worry sir. Will finish this up so will be back for dinner.
Ozpin: Do not thank me for this. Teamwork and persistence have carried you far. But you must understand, the things that await you beyond the protection of the Kingdom will not care. Stay close to your Huntsman at all times, and do exactly as he says. He will be leading you on this mission, and he can have you sent back to Beacon, if he finds your skills to be unsatisfactory. Good luck.
(Team RWBY & Team ROSE has left the auditorium and is on their way to the airship that will take them to Quadrant 5)
Yang: That wasn't exactly uplifting.
Blake: But it's the truth.
Ruby: It's going to be tough, but I know we can do it!
(A student runs past the team)
Student: Hey! Team LION are back!
(Beacon students gather around to witness the return of Team LION. Genji goes up to Owen Capuchino)
Owen: (looks at the approaching Genji) Sup. (peace sign)
Genji: Hey. How are you?
Owen: I’m fine. We just finish our mission today.
Genji: That’s good to hear.
Team LION Leader: (offscreen) Hey Owen! We’re leaving.
Owen: Coming. I have to go. Be safe out there, okay?
(It cuts back to Team RWBY & Team ROSE with the return of Genji)
Ruby: We can do this. We've never backed down before, and we're not going to start now.
Blake: Right
Raiden: We had faced hard battles… but we’re not going to fail this one.
Sebastian: We’re going to succeed!
Ruby: Besides, it won't only be us out there! We'll be fighting alongside a genuine Huntsman!
Edgar: That bears the question: Who is this genuine Huntsman?
(The scene immediately cuts to Team RWBY & Team ROSE staring with various stunned expressions, having just discovered who they will be shadowing)
Oobleck: Why, hello boys & girls! Who's ready to fight for their lives?
(The scene cuts to black)
Genji: (offscreen) You shouldn’t have ask.
(The scene takes place Ozpin's office; General James Ironwood & Glynda Goodwitch are present as well with Lucas Nineheart & General Lance. Ruby & Raiden have arrived to discuss their encounter with the two mysterious assailants)
Ozpin: Thank you both for coming. How are you both feeling?
Ruby: Okay, I guess. I'd feel better if my bad-guy-catching record wasn't O-for-three.
(Everyone stares silently)
Ruby: Okay, so that's the tone we're going for, got it.
Ironwood: Ruby, I feel it's appropriate to let you know that—
Lucas: (intervenes the conversation) What you two did last night was an actor of good instinct. We expect nothing less.
Ironwood: Lucas! What are you—
Lucas: Sorry Ironwood. But I believe we should just get strait to the point.’
Ironwood: (he looks upset & looks at the other direction with his arms cross)
Lucas: *sigh* (looks at Raiden & Ruby) Ruby, Son… can you explain what happen last night in great detail?
Ozpin: It will help us identified these two people.
(They both took turns to talk)
Ruby: Well… Ok. Last night Raiden & I went outside to get some air…
Raiden: Until I saw something moving on the rooftops. We got curious of what are does people doing so we made chase.
Ruby: We arrive to the SSTS Tower when we saw guard on the floor; barely injured.
Raiden: We assume those two are hostile so we took arms & wen to confront them.

Ruby: (leaving) Any time.
Ozpin: And Mister Raiden & Miss Rose, please try and be ... discreet about this matter.
Ruby: Yes sir.
Raiden: Of course sir.
(The door to Team RWBY's dorm room opens, revealing Yang Xiao Long, Blake Belladonna, Weiss Schnee, Osamu Genji, Sebastian Edzard & Edgar Damiano inside. The six zoom over to the persons in the door, who is revealed to be Ruby & Raiden)
Yang: What happened?
Sebastian: Please tell us, what happen?
Ruby: Uh... well, um... (laughing nervously while Raiden is doing the same)
(The scene shifts to Lucas & Lance talking in a hallway of the school. Lucas was looking at a nearby window; thinking about the boy that attack his son last night)
Lance: A year old case? Sorry if I speak out of line but you’re talking about re-opening a case that was close a year ago. You think is wise to re-open it now?
Lucas: We have to if we want to solve this mystery. Either that or innocents will get hurt.
Lance: I know but… why did you say we should continue the Vytal Festival back at that office.
(Lucas looks back at the window & looks to the sky. The light of the sun was so bright that the scene fades to white & shifts to three minutes earlier; back at Ozpin’s office)
Ironwood: Well there we have it. We send as many troops as we can to the southeast, find out exactly what's going on, and eradicate any forces that stand in our way.
Glynda: (growls in frustration) Why must your answer to everything involve a triumphant display of military bravado!? You treat every situation like it's a contest of measuring di—!

Lucas: (enrage) ENOUGH!
(Everyone stood silently)
Lucas: (he cools down & fixes his hair) Sorry for the outburst.
Lance: Then what we should do, shall we cancel the Festival?
Lucas: No. *sigh* The Festival will go on. We just need to be discrete about this so we can cause a stir.

Blake: Please keep it away from my belongings.
Raiden: (offscreen) OH… MY… GOOOD! (he jumps from offscreen & grabs Zwei. He proceeds to cuddle him uncontrollably) OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! THIS DOG IS SO CUTE! HE’S SO CUTE! HE’S SO CUTE! HE SO CUTE!
(Genji, Sebastian & Edgar at the doorway)
Edgar: (confuse) Do you know what is going on?
Genji: (confuse) I have no idea.

She then puts it down next to other student’s luggage before rejoining her team, who are standing in front of Team JNPR)
Glynda: Quiet! Quiet please. Professor Ozpin would like to share a few words before we begin.
Ozpin: Today we stand together, united. Mistral. Atlas. Vacuo. Vale. The four Kingdoms of Remnant. On this day, nearly eighty years ago, the largest war in recorded history came to an end. It was a war of ignorance, of greed, and of oppression. A war that was about much more than where borders fell or who traded with whom, but about the very idea of individualism itself. We fought for countless reasons, one of which being the destruction of all forms of art and self-expression. And as you are well aware, that was something many could not stand for. As a result, those who opposed this tyranny began naming their children after one of the core aspects of art itself: color. It was their way to demonstrate that not only would they refuse to tolerate this oppression, but neither were the generations to come. And it was a trend that is held to this very day. We encourage individuality, expressionism, and unity through diversity. As I have said, today we stand together, united. But this bond cannot exist without effort. Which is why today, while the rest of the world celebrates peace, Huntsmen and Huntresses will work to uphold it. As first year students, you will be tasked with shadowing a professional Huntsman or Huntress on a mission. Some of you may be taken out of the Kingdom for several days. Others may work within the walls for the rest of the week. But no matter which path you choose, remember to be safe, remember your training, and remember to do your very best.
(Ozpin steps away as the students all begin to file out of the amphitheater)
Ruby: This is perfect! All we have to do is shadow a Huntsman working in the southeast!
Yang: Yeah! We'll follow them around by day and give them the slip by night!
Weiss: Hey… are those they guys? (everyone looks at her direction to see Raiden & his team looking at the missions)
Ruby: Let’s check it out.
(The scene cuts to team ROSE)
Genji: Hmm… "search and destroy", “recon”, “exploration”.
Raiden: There are so many to choose from. (looks at the hologram screen) Hey look! We can do this!
Genji: (Reads the report) Hmm… it seems there is something shady going on in Quadrant 5. It seems thei are rumor to be that some people are doing some illegal activities there.
Ruby: Hey guys. (she & her team walks in)
Raiden: Hey girls. Aye you here to go to Quadrant 5 as well?
Blake: What do you mean?
(Ruby looks at the hologram screen)
Ruby: Oh look girls! Quadrant 5 needs Grimm cleared out!
Raiden: Wow! That’s the same place we want to go as well!
Blake: Well, it's in the southeast!
Yang: Sounds perfect!
Sebastian: then it looks like that we’re heading to the same direction then.
(Ruby & Raiden selects it and types in their team names. However, the screen says that first years are not allowed to take this mission)
Weiss: Wonderful!
Edgar: What happen? Why can’t we go there?
Raiden: It seems this mission is for more for expert huntsmen only; like in the videogames that you need to be in a certain level to go on these types of missions.
Blake: Any other ideas?
Ruby: We mail ourselves there!
Ozpin: (offscreen) Well, that's one option.
(Ozpin suddenly appears)
Ozpin: Unfortunately, we determined that the concentration of Grimm was too extreme for first-year students. It seems that particular region is rather popular. In fact, I have the sneaking suspicion that the four of you individually will make your way there no matter which job you choose)
(Weiss, Blake, and Yang glare at Ruby, who nervously rubs her head while the boys understand the situation)
Ruby: Whatever makes you say that?
Ozpin: I'm still curious how you all found yourself at the docks last semester. I'm interested to know how you really learned about a hideout in the southeast. And I certainly wonder why witnesses reported seeing robots and rose petals in a dance club some time ago.
Ruby: Um... well...
Ozpin: I doubt I'll ever find the exact answers I'm looking for. So how about this: instead of waiting for you all to break the rules, why don't we just bend them?
(Ozpin selects some things on his scroll, and the hologram screen makes a noise)
Ruby: We won't let you down. Thank you, professor.
Raiden: Don’t you worry sir. Will finish this up so will be back for dinner.
Ozpin: Do not thank me for this. Teamwork and persistence have carried you far. But you must understand, the things that await you beyond the protection of the Kingdom will not care. Stay close to your Huntsman at all times, and do exactly as he says. He will be leading you on this mission, and he can have you sent back to Beacon, if he finds your skills to be unsatisfactory. Good luck.
(Team RWBY & Team ROSE has left the auditorium and is on their way to the airship that will take them to Quadrant 5)
Yang: That wasn't exactly uplifting.
Blake: But it's the truth.
Ruby: It's going to be tough, but I know we can do it!
(A student runs past the team)
Student: Hey! Team LION are back!
(Beacon students gather around to witness the return of Team LION. Genji goes up to Owen Capuchino)
Owen: (looks at the approaching Genji) Sup. (peace sign)
Genji: Hey. How are you?
Owen: I’m fine. We just finish our mission today.
Genji: That’s good to hear.
Team LION Leader: (offscreen) Hey Owen! We’re leaving.
Owen: Coming. I have to go. Be safe out there, okay?
(It cuts back to Team RWBY & Team ROSE with the return of Genji)
Ruby: We can do this. We've never backed down before, and we're not going to start now.
Blake: Right
Raiden: We had faced hard battles… but we’re not going to fail this one.
Sebastian: We’re going to succeed!
Ruby: Besides, it won't only be us out there! We'll be fighting alongside a genuine Huntsman!
Edgar: That bears the question: Who is this genuine Huntsman?
(The scene immediately cuts to Team RWBY & Team ROSE staring with various stunned expressions, having just discovered who they will be shadowing)
Oobleck: Why, hello boys & girls! Who's ready to fight for their lives?
(The scene cuts to black)
Genji: (offscreen) You shouldn’t have ask.
