- After crim and team rwby fell into the abyss after losing to cinder, ruby woke up hearing yangs voice I'm her head, seeing she was on a strange beach with odd looking seashells and starfish. As ruby was exploring the beach she found a mouse that could actually talk she was surprised but was happy the mouse agreed to help her search for ruby's friends and sister.not far away Blake, and weiss had found one another. Searching for ruby and yang. But Blake and weiss were captured by a horde of talking mice thinking they were the enemy but the mouse called little by ruby. Once they were free the three of them went off Searching for crim. As they came across a path leading up hill they heard a loud growl, rushing towards the sound they saw crim and yang fighting an odd tall black skinny beast with horns.

Beast: not...finished...yet.

Crim: Thats right I'm not done yet*punching the beast in its face knocking it over, turning around to see ruby, Weiss and Blake with only his right eye since his cybernetic eye is broken* ruby, Weiss and Blake you ladies are safe.

Beast*stands back up to strike ruby but was knocked off the hill over the edge into the ocean by a rock*

Yang*tossing a rock striking the beast over the edge. Falling to her knees exhausted* you guys aren't supposed to be here*her cybernetic arm is gone*

Ruby*placing her hand on yangs shoulder* you should know how we are we weren't going to leave you behind and come search for you sis. Who do you think raised us*smiles*

Crim*sitting next to yang taking a deep breath* I tried saving you yang but me and Blake were too late.

Yang: it's okay crim *rubbing his head* were together again now but what happened after I fell.

Blake* tackling yang and Blake hugging them both buried her face into there chests* I'm so glad you guys are safe I was worried.

Crim/Yang*they hugging Blake feeling the same way, then they sit up*

Crim: I fell with ruby and Blake weiss what happened after we fell.

Weiss*tears running down her cheeks* everything happened so fast and penny got hurt real bad* grips her arm* penny sacrificed herself after asking jaune to help her to sacrifice her life, and somehow the winter maiden power went to my sister I couldn't do much then I fell.

Ruby*unable to handle the sudden news of her friends death and fainted*

Crim*caught ruby before she fell laying her net to yang* so penny is *punching the ground* she was just saved and now.

Yang*holding crims shoulder feeling sad about penny's death* I know crim its unbelievable*wipes her tears away then noticed crims broken left cybernetic eye* what happened to your eye.

Blake: his cybernetic eye just exploded when he snapped after you fell he smacked cinder around it was scary but actually romantic seeing him rage over you.

Crim: I thought yang had died and seeing cinder gloating I just snapped.

Yang: awe I guess I'm not the only on3 who gets mad in battle huh*nudges crim*

Weiss: so what do we do now how do we get back home and what happened you your sword crim.

Crim: will have to find some place or someone that could help us back home, I lost it once I fell I have no idea where it is.

Yang: I thought I was dead and now you guys are here I don't know.

Blake*steps up walking over to a bunch of vines moving them aside seeing a world that looks straight from a fairy tale* I think we're in a fairy tale world.

- They stand upon the hillside going over there situation, yang had said her cybernetic arm was stolen by a raccoon with a purple wagon full of trash, soon they realized this world is similar to a story they knew as kids. The mouse notified them the raccoon is from a town and he maybe willing to help them and give yangs arm back.

Blake*walking in next crim* so the town is up ahead*holding crims hand*

Crim*walking in between yang and blake along the path holding yang and Blake's hands* hopefully will find your arm yang.

Yang: yeah I hope he hasn't broken it or sold it yet*holding crims hand* maybe you'll find someone to fix your eye.

Weiss*saw crim holding yang and Blake's hands as they walk thinking to herself, finally they're together*

Ruby: once we get to the tree we can go home.

Weiss: there isn't anything for me back home it's all gone and I don't know if winter and jaune made it out safely. And with penny and losing the relic I don't know what will do.

Ruby*looks away with a sad expression* will make it back don't worry.

- The gang finally arrived to a bridge leading to a red forest seeing the town in the distance, while they walked through the town being odd looking citizens resembling dolls, stuffed animals, soon seeing jinxy the talking raccoon had a gold staff and two other items a rabbit toy and a green doll but it was all in disguise, some odd looking wooden doll like soilders were about to take the gold staff, it turned out to be yangs arm, the mouse stole the green doll which turned out to be one of penny's blades, as they ran off through the forest it started to rain.

Crim: Ruby are you okay*seeing the green sword* that was one of penny's swords wasn't it

Ruby*gripping the blade* yes it was *wipes her tears away*

Wood soilder: by royal decree you will be under arrest for ruining the gest birthday party of out king for stealing the gift we had from jinxy.

Yang: well its my arm you aren't getting it back*stands gaurd*

Crim*patting yangs arm* we shouldn't fight here maybe we can work something out.

Blake: absolutely we can't cause any trouble like the girl did in the book even though we just caused a scene at that town, let's try and solve future problems without fighting at least only fight until its needed.

Ruby*with a deep breath* we want to go to the birthday party.

Wood soilder: it is far too late.

Ruby: well what ifno offer you this sword it was once owned by a great warrior, her name was penny, she was a girl who was touched by magic, a kind and gentle soul who wasn't afraid to stand up for those she loved and she gave her life to save thousands of people, now she rests in her eternal slumber watching over those she loves.

Wood soilder*crying with the other soilders rheu accept the sword and agree to allow them to join the birthday party*

- they follow the wooden puppet like soilders into a red kingdom seeing a a small child puppet, he was the prince of the kingdom the red prince. After talking to the red prince offering him the green sword but he tossed it away because it was green.

Ruby: your gracious prince we heard you liked to play games, and if we win the game you'll help us to the tree.

Red prince: thats if you win*sets up a chest game like board with red and white pawns, the goal was to take down as many pawns as possible*

Ruby: but I'm missing a few pieces prince.

Red prince: well its good you have four extra pieces available or rather your friends*shrinks yang,crim,Weiss and Blake down to miniature sizes*

Ruby: my friends won't get hurt will they.

Red prince: since I'm a nice prince I'll let you go first *grins*

Crim: how am I supposed to fight those red pawns without my sword.

Weiss: don't worry I'll have you covered okay.

Yang: Just punch then babe your strong without your sword.

Blake*smiles* yeah and will have yoir back.

Ruby*makes a white pawn move ahead a few spaces but it gets cut down by a red pawn* oh sorry little pawn.

Red prince: see isn't this fun*makes a red pawn take down another white pawn* it's your turn.

Ruby: okay umm weiss can you move ahead two spaces.

Weiss*moved two spaces taking down the red pawn* see nothing to worry about.

Red prince*surprised* beginners luck.

Ruby: yang can you move three spaces ahead*smiles*

Yang: Absolutely *walking three spaces punching down three red pawns* this is fun.

Red prince: luck just pure luck*orders two pawns to attack blake*

Blake*quickly taking down the red pawns with ease with her sword and whip* easy.

Ruby: crim move over four spaces to those red pawns*

Crim*grins walking to five red pawns swinging around taking three down with his komodo dragon tail, then punched the other two pawns across the board* this is fun.

Red prince*his doll like face cracks* what are you guys, your clearly not from this place.

Ruby: well Blake and crim are faunus and me yang and Weiss are humans.

Red prince*jumps upon the board* then thats how your winning you've been cheating*having a tantrum* everyone attack them*making all the red and white pawns attack yang,crim and blake, weiss*

Ruby: thats not fair you can't do that.

Red prince: I can and I will I'm the prince.

Blake*leaping around taking down red and white pawns, slashing them down tossing her whip out to yang, swinging her around allowing yang to kick and strike down the pawns*

Yang* punching pawns down shaking the board then grabbed Blake's whip allowing her to swing around kicking down a bunch of pawns down before letting go of the whip punching the board to knock down a few more pawns*

Weiss* making giant feathers of ice rain down on over ten pawns, using her glifs to hop around striking down pawns with her sword, dashing threw them with her gravity glif to strike more pawns down*

Crim*running through a group of red and white pawns using my dragons skin semblance, plowing through like a tank, plowing through the pawns, punching them knocking the pawns out*

Ruby: we aren't cheating we've just been trained and had experience in fights.

Red prince: thats enough *shouts, ordering all the pawns to take down ruby's friends*

- the remaining pawns gather in huge numbers overwhelming them, piling on crim and yang pinning them down, surrounding Blake and weiss.

Red prince: now give up humans and surrender.

Ruby*smacking the board table with her hand* we never give up*looks down at them* guys time to kick butt and win this.

Blake*leaps over a group of pawns shooting them with her gun taking them down, her gun changed into a sword slashing down more pawns, rushing around wiping them out *

Yang* springs up from being pinned down by a group of pawns her hair glowing golden like fire, her eyes glowing red as she bursts around with her gauntlets blowing up pawns and punching them off the board*

Weiss*leaping from her glifs speeding around cutting down red and white pawns with her sword, raining down more giant ice feathers down striking groups of pawns, making a giant sword for crim to use* finish it crim.

Crim*tossing red and white pawns around like rag dolls, seeing the giant sword, both yang and Blake help crim up to the sword by tossing him in the air, I grabbed the giant ice sword slamming the blade into board floor causing it to shake then swung around wiping out the rest of the pawns* thanks weiss *watched the sword disappear*

- the red prince was shocked and surprised by how easily his game was beaten and won by ruby's friends, throwing another tantrum he screams saying he'll cut there heads off. But an odd blue and purplish pink cat appears talking to the prince to convince him to let ruby and her friends free, and so he dose as the cat helps the team escape the castle to outside in a forest. The cat began to chase a butterfly until Weiss suggests they need to follow the cat, crim anf yang, weiss and Blake are atill tiny and sittingon rubys shoulders in her hood, in the dark lands where Jabberwalker beast had ventured while it was still wounded from its encounter with crim and yang until it sees a girl crash near him, it was neo she had arrived making clones of herself woth her semblance surrounding the jabberwalker.

Ruby*walking along the path through a red grass field* so cat will you help us get to the tree.

Cat: well I don't really want to go back but if you answer my questions and keep me interesting*walking around leaping around*

Crim: so how long are we going to stay like this I feel so I don't know odd being the size of a doll.

Yang: you make a cute doll though grim.

Blake: I second that.

Crim*blushing from there complements*

Weiss*seeing a dark blue forest across the bridge* is that the place.

Cat: yes in that forest will find the ingredients to a growth potion just don't wander off okay*taking off through the grass*

- they come across a bug man like a combination of a caterpillar and grasshopper, he is a herbalist and agrees to help ruby's friends back to normal. After taking them in his home into a room. Blowing a dark blue like smoke from a pipe, it causes ruby to fall over coughing, everyone was alone in the smoke until they each see there past selves standing before them.

Blake: why am I seeing my past self *her past self asking her of she wanted to be human or just be a cat, that she doesn't need to be a bridge between humans and faunus and it's simple then just to keep on going and be something simpler again*a simple life wouldnt br my life, my friends and my culture my family I belong to them just as much as they belong to me, to give it all away wouldn't be simplesity it would be betrayal, because I am a huntress.

Yang*seeing her past self* why are you here*her past self telling her you don't have to go forward you know you could go back to being whole again, back to before all this happening to he whole again* no my losses, my failures showed me how i need to grow, if there is something missing its not because I lost it its because I haven't found it yet because I am a huntress.

Weiss*seeing her last self telling her the Schnee name why bother anymore what dose it even stand for anymore, instead you can be a nobody could you imagine not a single bit of baggage on your shoulders isn't that what you wanted to be free* i don't know who you think I am bur I am the grand-daughter of a hero and daughter of a villain and a heir to nothing I will not be defined by my name I will be the one to define it I am a huntress.

Crim: is this some kind kf spiritual experience or something *seeing his past self, it tells him he doesn't need to keep on fighting to prove himself to his friends and not he a faunus he could be human, to give up being a huntsman and live a peaceful life with the girls he loves* it's not that simple I can't give up everything I would let them down and let my friends, family down I will keep going because I'm a huntsman.

Ruby*sitting on the ground seeing her past self telling her, so are you a huntress like you read In books* I don't know* telling her they always save the day didn't they always know what to do and what to do In the end* but life isn't a fairy tale* telling her that's right it's up to you to choose and make things better, everything depends on you, your sister needs you , your best friend crim needs you and so dose your other friends, the whole world needs you to keep fighting to save them, they all depend on you to take down a invincible monster from destroying the world the one who took your mother away, mom was the best and even she failed, it wasn't fair none of its fair* what am I supposed to do then* she tells her you can be whoever you want whatever you want and do whatever you want you don't habe ti be ruby rose so what you want to be*

Cat*jumps through the smoke making it disappear* get away from her.

Herb*coughs* oh my that's a bit much.

Cat: oh herb your supposed to help people who lost there way and now you've lost your own way, please let me help you take a piece of my heart it'll help you feel better*sharing his magic with herb to help him feel better*

Herb: I'm sorry I must apologize I was always a workaholic *opening a hole in the floor falling through and disappeared*

- Ruby and crim, yang, Blake and weiss were surprised and shocked from what had happened and seeing herb disappear.

Little: oh look I found the cat.

Ruby*carrying her friends and sister in her hands running from the mushroom house to outside down a path*

Cat: I'm so glad the five of you are still you.

Weiss: it was you who abandoned us there in that mushroom house.

Cat: well I suppose it is but if you think like Alex then I suppose you do*jumping from one small mushroom to another* here it is*leading them to a pond*

Ruby*carrying her friends and sister on her shoulders in her hood, stepping onto a giant lilly pad floating across the lake seeing a giant flower like building*

- the cat leads them through the flower building it was a market place, the cat said he needs to gather the ingredients, yang and Blake with weiss going with the cat as crim stayed with ruby and the mouse, as the others went with the cat. Ruby and crim walk through the market looking for the last ingredient leprechaun nose hairs after the cat said a teapot lady will have the ingredients.

Ruby: do you two a teapot lady.

Crim*looking around * I don't see her anywhere.

Ruby: She's gotta be around here somewhere*suddenly seeing the marketplace disappearing in a dark shadow, soon she was in a blacksmiths workshop, an odd woman making weapons* where am I and who are you*seeing penny's green blade and grabs it*

Strange woman: do you like that one.

Crim: I thought it was lost forever when the prince through it away.

Strange woman: nothing is never truly lost are you the one who is lost.

Ruby: no I'm not lost just my friends just went somewhere else.

Strange woman: you are doing this all alone and are you her guide little mouse.

Little: yes I'm her friend and going to help her get back home.

Strange woman: you are carrying a rather heavy burden.

Ruby: I'm fine I can handle it.

Crim: she's not alone I will help her carry her burden.

Strange woman: if you change your kind you may pick whichever weapon you like and put down your burden.

Ruby: I have a weapon or I did*seeing a familiar weapon resembling her mother's weapon before she snaps out of it seeing the cat and her friends and she's back in the market*

Cat: ruby who were you talking to and did you get the nose hair.

Ruby: not yet I'm sorry.

Crim: will find it don't worry*unsure what just happened*

Blake: there's the teapot lady.

Cat*grabs the bottle of leprechaun nose hairs until fireworks go off warning that a jabberwalker is coming*

Ruby*offers her silver rose pendant her mother gave her as a trade*

Cat*makes the potion but it looks like a dessert* now eat it and you'll grow back to normal.

Jabberwalker*rushing in tearing up the place growling*

- yang,crim and blake, weiss ate the dessert returning to normal as a rusted knight arrived riding on a giant jackalope, tackling the jabberwalker away giving ruby and her friends a chance to fight back, Blake and weiss strike the jabberwalker across the ground through a few store stands, then crim and yang leap forward punching the jabberwalker from both sides, shattering it but they knew it looked familiar it disappeared like neos illusions did. Soon over a dozen jabberwalkers came from the lake crawling towards them, the rusted knight lead the team to a hidden room on top of the flower escape the jabberwalker. Weiss and the others were sad seeing the market I'd burning and destroyed as the civilians running away screaming, the cat stayed behind to give them a chance to escape but once ruby's team and crim were safe inside the flower. The knight took off hid helmet it wa jaune but a older version.

Jaune: if it isn't team rwby and crim it's been so long since I seen you guys.

- back to when crim and team rwby fell into the abyss, jaune had fallen too he had arrived at the same beach they did but he stumbled upon a tree with odd clock like fruit, he grabbed one but it suddenly started going off rewinding time until jaune broke it. He had traveled so far into the past he had to wait for them to fall to see them again. After he found them he was leading them through the grass fields.

Jaune: I'm surprised you made it this far.

Crim: we had help from someone.

Blake: yeah a cat he helped us here.

Jaune: what cat you don't mean.

Cat*finally arrived* oh jaune it's so good to see you again after so many years.

Jaune*draws his sword at the cat* he's dangerous and where was this cat leading you.

Crim: were trying to get to the tree.

Jaune: you can't go there if you do you'll disappear because the tree will absorb you and you'll die but they call it ascension.

Crim: you lied to us cat.

Cat: I did no such thing.

Jaune: will what about Alex's brother.

Yang: I didn't know she had a brother.

Cat: you didn't ask me*grins*

Jaune: we have to get away from here away from him.

- suddenly the cat trapped them in a giant thunderstorm cloud but inside it was a maze of paths with mirrors showing there pasts. As yang and Blake were on opposite sides of each other on a rope bridge, crim was hanging onto the tower underneath them. Weiss and ruby, jaune walking through path after path.

Crim*climbing up the tower it shakes as the wind blows he saw yang and Blake above him but due to the hard wind he they couldn't hear him, he watched them slowly getting to tje center. Even after the wind stopped his voice was still silent until he reached the top, still can't say anything but he heard yang and Blake confess there love for one another how they always loved one another kissing, he looks at his body it's grey like he's hidden from them*

Yang: I love you Blake I always did*kissing her wrapping her arms around blake* I've always had feelings for you.

Blake*kissing yang in a passionate kiss holding yang in her arms* I've always loved you yang but what about crim I thought you loved him.

Yang: I love you Blake*running her fingers through Blake's hair* I love him too but there's something stronger with you, crim is special to me like you are*kissing blake*

Blake: I don't want to hurt crim he's special to me too you both are*holding yang kissing her*

Crim*his body turns back to normal he's not grey anymore and can speak* so I guess it seems like you two are happy together then without me.

Yang: it's not like that crim I promise.

Blake: yes its not what you think.

Crim: it's clear to see that I'm not needed *turns around looking away from them* I loved you yang and Blake but I guess It was all a lie*gripping my arm*

Yang*placing her hand on crims shoulder* Crim I still love you it's just I love Blake too.

Blake*placing her hand on crims other shoulder* I love you and yang  okay crim.

Crim: so what dose this mean then yang and Blake am I supposed to let you both go and be alone*turns to face them*

Yang/blake*shakes there heads and looks crim in the eyes saying at thr same time* we love you too and want to be together.

Crim*holding there hands looking at them* how will it work between the three of us.

Yang: dose it matter just as long as we're all together*kissing crim*

Blake: yes will make it work we promise*kissing crim the same time yang kisses him*

Crim*wrapping his arms around them both kissing them both finally happy being with them*

- on the other side of the storm jaune and ruby, Weiss walking around as jainr explained everything that had happened with the cat and Alex and her brother how she changed to become cruel and cold even poisoning him.

Ruby: so what happened.

Jaune: it all happened when Alex and her brother found him along with the cat, but something happened to Alex once she met the herb guy she changed, and because selfish and cold and the cat took them to the tree and her brother disappeared.

Cat: I only wanted to help Alex get home and join her but she used me to get what she wanted and it seems you both did the same thing*ears lower* I'll take my leave I hope your happy with your friends ruby you only wanted me aroundto satisfyyour own needs like alex did*walks away disappearing*

- ruby and Weiss, jaune were enveloped in a bright light to see crim kissing both yang and Blake as they held one another in there arms, seeing they have been free from the storm.

Jaune: I've waited so long to finally see them together feels like I've been waiting forever for that.

- jaune took everyone back to his home near a village made of paper, jaune came out with two boxes giving one to crim and ruby. It was there weapons he had found them when he fell and kept there weapons safe all these years. After everyone had a good night sleep Jaune had told them this paper village is under constant danger but jaune kept it safe even though the paper Star villagers want to go to the tree to ascend to the tree, but jaune didn't want them to die or asend he wants to keep them safe and not fail like he did at beacon. Suddenly a horde of jabberwalkers arrived attacking the town, but crim, yang, Blake and jaune stepped in to fight them except for ruby she was afraid and seeing things of cinder and Salem,  even seeing penny. As a jabberwalker pinned ruby down crim rushed over swinging his sword killing it.

Crim: Ruby are you okay *picked up her weapon offering it to her but she flinched with fear*

Ruby*flinched and back away a couple feet*

Jaune: I know you don't care about protecting this village but at least protect your friends*suddenly seeing the water damn break flooding thr town killing the paper star people, he falls to his hands and knees* I couldn't save them.

Yang: they'll be back okay jaune they'll be reborn.

Weiss*patting jaune* yes it'll be okay right ruby.

Ruby: why are you asking me is it because I'm the leader and should always know what to do, and should have something to say then I don't*clinching her fist*

Blake: but we.

Ruby: I mean why do I have to be the leader anyway huh, why do I always have to be the one to pick people up, what about me huh no time for me. Because we gotta save a villagelr help jaune, gotta get home and gotta find someone who isn't going to screw everything up*walking in circles glaring at weiss* gotta stay positive*walks over to yang and crim and blake* smiles all around, maybe even get our feelings sorted out*looking at yang,Blake and crim* good for you guys by the way were all so happy for you three.

Crim: Ruby your clearly upset and you don't have to carry all the burden alone, I'm bere for you for all of you.

Yang: crims right sis let us carry the burden together.

Blake: we know your upset after everything that has happened.

Ruby: I'm sorry is this a bad time, are we supposed to morn over jaunes male belive friends.

Jaune: they're gone because of you the jabberwalkers are after you, because neo hates you and let's not forget why were all here in the first place its because of you and your stupid plan it's always about you it has always been about you.

Ruby*speechless as tears run down her cheeks*

Weiss: jaune.

Crim: that was uncalled for jaune and you know it, you of all people should know hiw ruby was trying to save us and keep us all safe, don't blame her for what's happened you asshole, I know it hasn't been easy for you or anyone of us *pushes jaune* don't go blaming ruby dammit.

Jaune: I'm sorry okay I know I'm not alright, who am I supposed to be I've been alone for so long and on that bridge I was the only one who could do it*shouts* the only one*crying* and I did it even if I didn't want to do that for penny*sounds of water and waves crashing through the village*

Blake: guys I know things are bad but..

Ruby: Shut up*everyone surprised at her* don't do that, just don't *crying as she looked at them, she used her semblance to speed off into the forest*

- as they watched ruby disappear in the forest. Ruby running through the dark forest until she falls next to a tree unsure what to do, the mouse offers to help take ruby bake to her friends but ruby refuses blaming herself for the friends and lives she's lost, pushing the mouse away ruby storms off leaving the mouse behind until she comes across a huge pink castle, seeing a picture of neo and romen behind surrounded by her friends but thee eyes were the same color as neo. Ruby knew neo wanted her dead and was ready to face her as neo attacked her from behind. As crim, yang and Blake, weiss and Jaune were searching for ruby until they heard gun shots and explosion and rush in that direction. As ruby was fighting neo and her illusions crim, yang,weiss, blake, jaune, team jnpr and ozpen attacked her knocking ruby all over the room, neo offers ruby a cup of tea from the leaf of the tree offering her to drink it to start her life over, until the cat appears pinning ruby down digging his claws in her, telling her he was trying to wear her down for so long, trying to take over her body he was angry being cursed by curiosity and wanted to know why his maker left him behind, neo struck the cat off her as ruby bleeds from the wounds on her chest, the mouse tried to help but neo crushed it under her boot. Roman telling ruby that life would be better off without her and so would her friends, as the real crim, yang, Blake and weiss and jaune arrived to see ruby beaten and drinks the tea falling in a whole in the ground. The cat tried to free ruby but he couldn't then struck everyone into the walls as she tricked neo into letting him take over her body.

Jaune*tried stopping the cat but failed*

Neo cat: ah the rusted knight, goodness I'm tired of your sob story and you can't accept your own utility*smiles with a grin of sharp teeth then turns into a bunch of blue and purple energy flying out the hole in the wall*

Crim: Dammit what happened to ruby and why did that cat take over neo*punching thr floor breaking it as he keeps hitting ot over and over until yang and Blake hold him in there arms*

Jaune*riding his giant jackalope with crim, yang and Blake and weiss riding with him unti they arrive at the old paper village* what dose this place want first Alex and her brother and now ruby*seeing small rock like gem people similar to the paper star people they were the reborn paper stars* I tried to save them but I only kept them from being reborn.

Weiss: I think you asking to much kf yourself and I think that even the best hunters in history all failed at one point but they always stayed strong and never gave up.

- crim, yang and Blake, weiss all hugged jaune then realized the tree wasn't a place they had to go to but needed to go, suddenly they were by the tree and saw ruby but she had been turned into a tree with her features. Even herb was there so a tree.

Yang* ripping off vines off ruby's wooden body* we have to get her out.

Crim: I get it now this is how we got here and why we need ti be here.

Weiss: we did everything we can and it's up to ruby to find her way back.

Yang: what if she's not the ruby we know when she comes back.

- they felt the ground shaking them saw the doorway leading there home of Remnant, neo cat was trying to get through the gate but couldn't because neo had no attachments to her home world. While inside her own mind ruby was struggling to figure out who she wanted to be, the blacksmith woman was actually the spirt of the tree showing her different glass cases with different weapons inside them, and one of them was ruby's mothers weapon and the lady told her it's uo to ruby to choose who she wants to be and to be reborn as. Outside as jaune, crim, yang and Blake, weiss were fighting neo cat because the cat wanted to possess ruby's body to leave thus world and enter Remnant.

Neo cat: Alex was supposed to take me with her but once she met the spirit of the tree, she had changed and wanted to fix all the things she caused in this world and as I watched her brother leave, Alex refused so I had no choice so I killed her.

Jaune: you monster for years I thought she left and chose not to write what had happened here but you killed her over your own selfish needs*charging at neo cat striking her back a few feet with his shield*

Neo cat: you were never a brave knight jaune just a coward like always through your life*her arms go blue changing into huge clawed hands and long arms, striking jaune across the ground*

Crim*smacking neo cats arm with his sword cutting it off but it regenerates* we won't let you get ruby she's my best friend and i love her too *charging neo cat swinging his tail knocking her into yang*

Yang*punching neo cats face over and over in a barrage of punches then struck her across the ground* will protect ruby with our lives she's my sister.

Neo cat*grabbed both yang and crim by there faces then jumps up then slams them both into the ground before she got struck by blake and weiss*

Blake*wrapping her whip around neo cat swinging her around then truck neo cat with the sword sending her through a tree* your nothing but a monster.

Weiss*leaping from her glifs sending herself straight to neo cat striking her with sword strikes from every angle using her glifs* will stop you before you hurt or kill anyone else.

Neo cat*leaps up from getting attacked by them swung her huge clawed hands into weiss and Blake through a few trees, rushing to jaune making a illusion of pyrrha to catch him off gaurd but he went to strike neo but neo cat made herself look like penny that made jaune freeze up allowing her to get a good slash strike against his back, then kicked him off the edge of the cliff* bye bye coward

- inside ruby's mind she had placed her hand upon the glass case that held her mother's weapon, she saw a vision of one of her mothers memories of summer rose reading a bedtime story to a young ruby and yang, but she left them to go on a secret mission for ozpen with raven yangs mom. Ruby was surprised by how her mother lied saying she'd be back but never returned. Ruby used the glass case of her mother's weapon over shattering the case. Outside after jaune fell he was seeing a vision of Alex that helped him come back and wake up to see neo cat still fighting yang,crim and blake, weiss.

Jaune*jumped up to them* burn the leaves burn them quickly.

Crim*shooting the leaves with his sword gun making them burn*

Yang*shooting the leaves too burning them*

Weiss/blake*set the leaves ablaze causing smoke that neo cat sucks in*

Neo cat: smart idea but these leaves have no affect on me *sucking in thr smoke*

Jaune: that maybe true but neo is affected.

Neo cat*coughing then the cat beast comes out of her body setting neo free*

Cat*transforms into a giant white cat beast attacking the gang clawing at them*

Ruby*wakes up and she's her normal self* I'm back and I'm not letting you hurt my friends.

Crim: she's just how she was before.

Jaune: she's finally decided on who she is.

Cat*charging at ruby but his attacks missed each time* get back here you little brat.

Ruby*striking the cat around with her scythe striking him into crim*

Crim*slashing and striking the cat beast all over the place not giving him a chance to recover*

Weiss*rushing around the cat beast striking him in every angle and side then strikes him to blake*

Blake*leaping around kicking and striking the cat beast all around she's too fast for him to catch, with a swing of her sword sending him to yang*

Yang*punching the cat beast around with explosive strikes, knocking him around the ground and in the air*

- Weiss used her glifs to summon over twenty glifs allowing herself, crim, yang, Blake to rush and jump around from glif to glif striking the cat beast with a barrage of attacks before all five of them struck the him down together with a five weapon smack down into the ground defeating him. But before the cat beast could recover neo had created a bunch of jabberwalkers to kill and devour the cat beast. Then as neo watched crim and the others she smiles with a tear mouthing the words thank you before leaping off the tree into the darkness, she then turns into a tree attached to the great tree so she could find herself and change into something new. As ruby and crim, yang, Blake, weiss and jaune smiling hoping neo finds her way because even she deserves a second chance. Suddenly a large mouse like creature came in resembling the little mouse it was her but reborn, she hugged ruby before they left as jaune asked little to look after his jackalope friend. They said there goodbyes entering the glowing gate to see the lady of the tree. She was haoky to see them safe and fulfilled as she explained that the cat only became corrupted from Alex breaking her promise and the brothers of light and darkness they were originally from this world but soon ledt it to create earth and all those who came before ruby and them. She changed jaune back to how he was when he fell, she appreciates how they fixed her world bringing balance, she waves them off as the gang leaped through another glowing portal, crim holding yang and Blake's hands, they hold ruby and Weiss hands and jaunes once they jumped through the portal they arrived back outside where atlas used to be, ready to take on Salem and save the world from her forces knowing as long as they have one another there isn't anything that can stop them.
