Narrator: This is the story of a girl, who had a lot of problems...

The screen remains black, sounds of an explosion are muted before eyes blink to Ruby's point of view of what happened in the Evacuation Central Location. Team RWBY CRMS, REBL, Athena, and Penny turn to find an explosion caused by Cinder. Ruby panics as the evacuees run in fear before quickly blinking, transitioning in black.

Yang: (off-screen) Ruby!

Shane: (off-screen) Watch out!

The scene transitions to Neo attempting to attack Ruby, but she was tackled out of the way by Yang, who took the brunt of Neo's slash and broke her and Shane's Aura. Ruby then constantly blinks in a panic as she watches Shane and Yang being thrown backward, tumbling bodily over the platform. Later, Ruby helplessly tries to reach Crescent Rose, but watches it slide over the edge and falls into the abyss. Later, Ruby is clinging onto Neo's ankle as Cinder glares down on them. Ruby's Silver Eyes are seen glowing faintly.

Cinder: (echo) And you... should have never been born...

Cinder uses the Staff to smash Neo's hand, causing her to lose her grip and fall. Ruby starts to fall with her, and the glow from her eyes disappears. After Ruby falls down, Crim holds Ruby while Blake swinging Gambol Shroud to back up to the platform, but its ribbon gets burned off by Cinder. Ruby helplessly watches Crim and Blake fall before disappearing into the abyss.

Ruby opens her eyes to find herself surrounded by floating red balls. She looks down to her hand encoated by one of them before it begins floating from her hand.

Ruby then sees Neo delivering a punch at her. Ruby tries to defend herself as she grabs Neo by both of her hands. Neo tries to grab Ruby by the neck as Ruby pushes Neo's hand away from her. Neo uses her Semblance to transform into Oscar, and roughly pulls her hands away from Ruby. Neo glares as she transforms into Yang as Ruby defends herself. Neo punches away Ruby's hands and grabs them, again transforming into Penny. Ruby struggles as Neo armlocks her, strangling her. Ruby almost loses her breath but she breaks free from Neo by kicking her legs backwards. Ruby tumbles over and watches Neo in the distance as they both fall through the clouds.

Out of focus shore, beach, trees and cliff stretches into the distance.

Penny: (off-screen) Ruby! (pause) Ruby! (pause) Ruby!

Ruby bolts upwards, panting moments before surveying the area. Large conch shells and six-armed starfish intermittently dot a sand-colored beach that seems to stretch for miles in either direction. In the distance, Ruby sees two very intact moons seemingly orbiting each other as they slowly orbit... wherever she is. Ruby stands up and wrings out the water from her cloak.

Directly in front of her, sits a tropical albeit equally strange forest. The palm trees form odd bulbous shapes, some wrap around each other while others appear to be two or three trees stacked together. The tree in the center, however, is enormous towering over the distance. It stands so tall that only the bottom section of its canopy is visible as the rest. A flock of large birds burst out from the top of the forest, drawing Ruby's attention to a not quite as distant cliff edge on the other side of the forest.

Ruby stares at the giant tree and walks towards the forest.

Meanwhile with Rex, his hand moved as he started to get up.

Rex: (groans) Where am I...? (Touches his left eye and still has the scar) Oh...

He looks at the sea...

Rex: Looks like I'm the only one who made it... Huh?

He sees something as he walks closer to it, finally recognizing it.

Rex: No way! (Runs to it) It is! It's Crescent Rose!

Rex grabs it out of the ground and looks at it as its blade shines in the sun.

Rex: Wait, if Ruby's weapon is here, then that means... (Turns Crescent Rose to its compact mode) Ruby! If you're here, answer me!

He sits down on the sand, thinking.

Rex: That's just great. I forgot Penny made me kill herself and passed her power to Winter. Fuck, I don't know what the hell am I gonna tell Rubes. Mom and Dad probably thinks we're dead... Fucking hell, Cinder... If you hadn't ambushed us, none of this wouldn't happen.

???: Hey, who are you talking to?

Rex: Huh?

Rex turns and sees a little girl covered with grass on her top and bottom.

Rex: Gah, what the hell?!

???: (points her bow and arrow at Rex) Who are you? Where did you come from?

Rex: (takes Excalibur) Whoa, lady. Don't even think about it!

???: You're not one of those things?

Rex: "Things?"

???: (walks to Rex and smells him) You don't smell like one, either.

Rex: Okay, what is going on?

???: Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Glimmer.

Rex: Glimmer... Nice to meet you. I'm Rex.

Glimmer: Rex. I have a question. What happened to your eye?

Rex: Oh, this? It's a long story... but where are we?

Glimmer: This is my home.

Rex: Your home?

Glimmer: Yeah. If you're trying to go straight to the tree, it'll send right back here.

Rex: The tree?

He walks to the tree and all of a sudden he comes walking back here where Glimmer stands.

Rex: What the?!

He runs and came back.

Rex: The fuck?! Is this some joke?! (He does it again) Damn it!

Glimmer: Been there, done that. You can't just go straight through it.

Rex: Okay, don't head straight. Got it. Aw, shit. I have to find Ruby.

Glimmer: Ruby? Is she your lover?

Rex: Yeah. I found her weapon that means she must be here too.

Glimmer: Come on, we'll find her. I wouldn't mind tagging along.

Rex: Hang on, Rubes.

As Ruby continues to progress through the forest, she squeezes through a group of trees into a clearing. An oddly-colored bird screams as she enters the clearing. Ruby sees the giant tree again in the distance, before proceeding forward and squeezing through another group of trees. In an odd sense of deja vu, Ruby squeezes into the same clearing again, confusing Ruby. The bird from before screams again and starts to babble nonsense. Ruby looks up to the giant tree again, realizing she is not getting any closer. Ruby proceeds forward again, passing by a mouse sleeping on a large seashell. She squeezes through the same trees again, and the bird flies away this time. Ruby grunts in frustration as she walks forward again.

At this point, the mouse has woken up, watching Ruby go through the same thing again and again. Ruby looks up at the tree one more time, before going off to lean and sit at the base of a nearby palm tree. She curls up and starts to sob, causing some thunder to sound and raindrops to fall. Ruby then notices the mouse trying to pull a sprout out of the ground,

but to no avail. Ruby then picks up the mouse and pulls out the vegetable with ease.

The vegetable is actually made out of cheese. Ruby stares at it in confusion before handing it over to the mouse who wants to eat it. Ruby smiles as the mouse eats its food.

Ruby: (frowning again) Now if only you could help me...

The mouse then looks to Ruby, gulping its food.

Mouse: I could try.

Ruby stares at the mouse wide-eyed for a moment, before suddenly screaming out, startling the mouse as well.

Mouse: Why are you yelling?!

Ruby: (stammering) I. Uh. Because. You. Oh! You're--

Mouse: Did you wanna share? Oh, I guess it's only fair...

Ruby: No, that's-- that's alright. Uh, I guess, uh... I've just never really spoken to, uh... a mouse before?

Mouse: Hmm, well, I guess I've never spoken to a... you before. What are you?

Ruby: Oh, uh, I'm a human. (the mouse tilts their head) A girl? (it tilts their head lower) A Huntress? (it tilts their head the third time)

Mouse: That's a lot of things.

They heard the bushes and tree branches were pushing. The bushes revealed Rex and Glimmer.

Ruby: Rexy...

Rex: Rosebud...

Ruby start running towards him, holding each other closely.

Rex: Ruby, I'm so glad to see you're alright.

Ruby: Me too. (gasps) Oh, my gosh. Your eye! What happened?!

Rex: Cinder happened. I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I got my hands full beating Ben.

Ruby: It's not your fault, Rex. You got your fight to finish. I'm sorry you were stuck too.

Ruby and Rex close their eyes, kissing each other.

Glimmer: Wow. You don't see that everyday.

Ruby: Who is this girl, Rex?

Rex: Rubes, this is Glimmer. She found me on the beach.

Ruby: I'm... (sighs) I'm Ruby Rose.

Glimmer: Nice to meet you.

Mouse: And to Ruby Rose is... your purpose?

Ruby: No. No, that's my name. Do you have a name?

Mouse: I'm still young, so... not yet.

Rex: Did that mouse just talk or am I hallucinating?

Glimmer: No, it's real alright.

Ruby points to her chin in thought.

Ruby: How about I call you... Little, for now. Would that be alright?

Little: Hm, how does one... Little?

Ruby giggles a bit before frowning again.

Little: Huh? What's wrong?

Ruby: I'm... uh, have you seen other people? Humans, like us.

Little: Exactly like you?

Ruby: No, not... exactly like me. (she puts Little down, who hops off her hand carrying the cheese) I mean, we're similar, but different.

Little: I'm sure it'll make sense eventually.

Rex: You see... one has blue hair, and the other one has a lizard tail.

Ruby: Um... one would have long, blonde hair, the other has... well, uh uh...

Ruby: cat ears. (makes a motion imitating cat ears)

Little yelps, hiding behind the cheese.

Ruby: Sorry! I-- I should've known. I've seen plenty of cartoons.

Little: (steps out from behind the cheese) Well, I've never seen anyone who does, or doesn't, look like you. But, maybe someone in my village has. They're always out foraging, you know, since we need food and stuff.

Ruby sighs in relief.

Little: Speaking of which... a few more of these wouldn't hurt!

Little points to more of the cheese sprouts planted in the ground.

Rex: Oh yeah. I think you dropped something, Rosebud.

Ruby: (she checks her cape, ring, and ammo) What?

Rex shows her Crescent Rose.

Rex: Found it washed up at the beach.

Ruby: You found Crescent Rose! Thanks, Rexy! (Kiss Rex's cheek)

Rex: No prob, Rubes. Come on, let's find the others.

Elsewhere...

Blake: You really think it's around here somewhere?

Weiss: I wouldn't exactly say I'm certain about anything at the moment...

Rin, Weiss, and Blake are seen walking together in the forest.

Weiss: Gambol Shroud fell after you, Crim and Ruby, but before I did. And we found each other, so... what is this place?

Blake: I don't know. None of my guesses really make sense.

Rin: Doesn't look like we're in Vacuo, that's for sure.

Blake looks behind her, seeing a vine moving on a tree.

Weiss: Blake... (the three turn to face each other) I'm really glad you're okay.

Blake: (smiles) I'm really glad you are too. (lowers her head in thought) And if we are, then that means Yang, Shane, Rex, and Ruby might be.

Weiss smiles before turning away with a frown.

Blake: Weiss... Rin... can you... what happened after we fell?

Rin: That's... not something to talk about because... you're not gonna like this when we told you...

Weiss pauses for a bit, sighing.

Weiss: We should focus on finding everyone else first.

Blake looks down, frowning, before hearing Weiss yell out.

Weiss: I think I see something!

Blake and Rin proceeds forward to join her.

They see Blake's brother, Luke lying down unconscious.

Blake: Luke! (Runs to him) Hey! Are you alright?

Rin: (check his pulse) He's okay. A little unconscious.

Luke: (waking up) Huh? Blake? Rin?

Blake: (hugs her brother) You're alright!

Luke: You too. (Looks at Rin and Weiss) What?

Rin: Is it me or did your voice changed?

Luke: My voice changed?

Weiss: Yeah, why do you sound so different?

Luke: Ah, damn. I must've damaged my throat during the fall. Did you guys see B or E anywhere? I was hoping they were with you.

Rin: Nope, we haven't seen the twins.

Blake: Or Mason, Crim, and Shane... We'll find them.

Weiss: Hey, I found something!

They find the katana part of Gambol Shroud entangled in thorny vines.

Blake: I guess it could've been worse...

Weiss: Well, good news, I'm low on Dust.

Blake: That wasn't an invitation, Weiss.

Weiss: Sorry.

Luke and three girls proceed to work on trying to get the katana out of the vines. Rin, Blake, and Luke tries to pull, but to no avail. Weiss then tries to slash through it with Myrtenaster, but the vines immediately grow back, causing Weiss to groan in frustration. Luke uses his Semblance and punchd the ground causing the vines to grow longer.

Luke: What the fuck?!

Blake then tries to reach for it by leveraging herself from a palm tree. Weiss, Rin, and Luke are seen cheering Blake on.

Weiss: Yeah! Woo!

Rin: Go, Blake, go! Go, Blake, go!

Luke: You're almost there!

Blake's hand barely touches her katana, but suddenly the vines sprout out towards her.

Weiss: Huh?

Rin: Oh, crap!

The vines start to head toward Rin, Luke, and Weiss too, and the four are ensnared in the vines. Suddenly, a swarm of mice emerge, cheering. They stop in front of the trapped Huntresses.

Mouse #2: The trap has been sprung!

The mice tribe leader is then seen running up the vines.

Mouse Leader: Justice befalls our prey!

The mice tribe cheers.

Luke: What the hell?!

Weiss: Are they... talking?

Blake: (writhing in the vines) Not what I'm worried about right now!

Rin: Please tell me I'm dreaming! Because I'm in a nightmare!

Meanwhile, Rex, Ruby and Glimmer continues through the forest, hearing the noise of the mice tribe. Little is snoring on her shoulder.

Ruby: Are you drooling on me? (sticks her tongue out in disgust)

Glimmer: With how loud it's snoring, I'm sure it drools too.

Ruby, Glimmer, and Rex then stops, seeing Rin, Weiss, Luke and Blake tied up in vines to wood surrounded by the mice tribe.

Mouse Leader: And on this day, we were not the prey, but the hunters!

The mice tribe cheers again. Rex, Glimmer, and Ruby stares in bewilderment at the sight, nudging her shoulder to wake Little up.

Little: What's going on? (noticing the commotion) Oh, hey, it's your cat friend. (yelps again)

Ruby catches Little in her hands, and the mice tribe notices them.

Rin: Ruby? Rex?

Mouse Leader: A new adversary approaches! We must liberate our kin!

The mice tribe cheers again.

Some time later, the mice tribe listen to Little's first encounter with Ruby.

Little: I didn't know what to do because she looked sad. But then we talked, and she seemed less sad. Then she pulled the cheese out of the ground on her own!

The mice tribe gasp in surprise. A white mouse with red eyes faints. The Mouse Leader runs towards Blake, who is now free from the vines. She kneels down to speak to them.

Mouse Leader: You have our sincerest apologies! Please understand that our kind is a bit skeptical of cats... and snakes... and cats.

Blake: We understand. If... we could ask, have you seen anyone else who looks like us? Long, blonde hair, looks kinda scary but isn't?

Weiss: But could be if she wanted to.

Ruby and Rin chuckles sheepishly.

Luke: And someone else who looks like me but with spiky hair, and blue, and green?

Rex: And the one who has a tail.

The Mouse Leader shakes its head. Blake stands up to rejoin Ruby and Weiss.

Ruby: (saddened) Thanks anyway... Before all of... this, I was trying to go to that cliff over there. I figured going to higher ground and getting my bearings would be good.

Weiss: Sounds like the best option for now.

Little: (scurrying up Blake) If you wanna go to the cliff, I can help with that.

Blake gets startled after Little climbs up to her shoulder.

Little: I don't have anything to do yet.

Ruby: Yet?

Little: I can be your trusty guide.

Little is shown snoring in Ruby's hood. Ruby smiles at them.

Glimmer: Trusty guide, he says.

Weiss: Or... (trying to swat away an insect with rocking horse legs) I guess we could figure it out ourselves.

Blake: At least they got us to this path. We need to hurry. Yang and Shane's been down here the longest and we still haven't found them.

Luke: The same goes for the twins, Crim, and Mason.

Crim: You talking about me?

Luke: Not now, Crim, we're still figuring... (Looks behind him) Crim!

Crim: Hey!

Rin: How the heck did you find us?!

Crim: I'm a Faunus. I can smell anything from a mile away.

Rex: Glad you're ok, man.

Crim: Dude, what the hell happened to your eye?!

Rex: (sarcastically) What else is new?

Ruby: Weiss, I was wondering... if you, Rin, Luke, and Rex fell, then are there others down here too? What happened?

Weiss is silent for a moment.

Weiss: I don't know if anyone else fell, no. I think we should find Shane, Mason, Yang, if they're even down here. Then we can go over everything.

Rex: Oh shit!

Rin: What? What is it?

Weiss: Don't scare us like that!

Rex: I almost forgot about Athena and Jaune! We're not the only ones who fell here. That means both of them are here too!

Crim: But did you see them?

Rex: (shook his head) I guess we got separated...

Ruby: I just--

Suddenly, the seven hear a roar in the distance. They run up to the top of the cliff and notice a strange, purple, masked creature twitching.

Jabberwalker: Seeking... Searching...

Jabberwalker: Scouring... Stalking... Searching... Scouring... Stalking...

Glimmer: Holy shit! It's the thing!

Little gasps and hides in Ruby's cloak. The creature hears them.

Jabberwalker: Detecting... Listening...

The Jabberwalker turns its head. They draw their weapons. They keep their distance as the creature faces them. It then proceeds to charge forward.

Jabberwalker: DANGER! DEATH!

Blake jumps forward.

Jabberwalker: BITE! RIP! TEAR!

The Jabberwalker swipes its claw at Blake, but she blocks it with Gambol Shroud. Weiss runs forward to assist, but stops suddenly.

Yang: (off-screen) I said I wasn't done with you yet!

The large rock is thrown at the Jabberwalker, who jumps away from Blake after the rock hits them.

Yang heavily pants and looks up, her prosthetic arm is missing.

Luke: Yang!

Rex, Ruby, Rin, Weiss, Crim, Glimmer, Luke, Blake and Yang surround the Jabberwalker.

Jabberwalker: Recede... Retreat... Wait... Return.

The Jabberwalker makes their retreat as it jumps high to the next cliff and disappears into the forest. Rin, Weiss, Crim and Blake run after the Jabberwalker. Yang pants heavily and ends up kneeling, exhausted. Ruby runs towards Yang.

Ruby: Yang! I-

Yang: Dammit! You weren't supposed to be here...

Ruby kneels down next to Yang.

Ruby: If you thought we wouldn't come for you, then you must've forgotten who raised me.

Rex: You know how Ruby is, Yang.

Yang sighs.

Ruby: What happened to your arm?

Yang: I don't think you'd believe me if I told you...

Little: Why not? You seem trustworthy.

Yang: (staring at Little wide-eyed) Uh, Ruby? What is that?

Yang suddenly gets tackled by Luke to the ground. Luke embraces Yang in relief.

Luke: Yang... I'm happy you're okay...

Yang embraced Luke back and gives him a quick kiss.

Yang: Alright, did your new voice got more sexier?

Luke: You'll get use to it.

Crim: Hey, Yang, did you happen to see Shane? We thought he was with you.

Yang: No, I haven't.

Weiss: I sort of thought you'd be a little happier to see us.

Yang: I am... It's just... It must have gone pretty bad, huh?

Ruby and Blake look at Yang. Blake looks back at Ruby before they turn to see Rin and Weiss beginning to break down in tears.

Ruby: Weiss...

Crim: What's wrong?

Rin: Everything happened so fast.

Weiss: No one came back from Vacuo to help... And Penny! She-- Jaune and Athena tried to help, but... she sacrificed herself!

Rex: It was me... I did it... I killed Penny...

???: You what?!

They looked and saw Briana and Mason in a shocking state.

Mason: Penny's dead?

Rex: B, I know you're angry, and you have every right.

Briana: Rex, I don't blame you, I blame that hot headed slut! Makes me so damn mad, I'll rip her fucking neck off!

Luke: She's right, it wasn't your fault. It was Cinder. (inaudible)

Ruby, wide-eyed, listens to Weiss and Rex of what happened,

their words slowly being muted out as she continues speaking, but suddenly ends up passing out until Rex catches her from falling.

Yang: (off-screen) Ruby?!

The screen suddenly cuts to black. Sometime later, Ruby starts to wake up. She could hear Rex, Rin, Yang, Luke, Crim, Briana, Mason, Glimmer, Weiss, and Blake discussing their current situation. It's raining again.

Crim: (off-screen) She didn't get the Maiden powers?

Rex: (off-screen) No... Winter has it now... Now Penny was killed because of me!

Rin: (off-screen) For the last time, you didn't kill her intentionally! She made her choice!

Yang: (off-screen) So, we have no idea what happened to the Relic? Or what happened to everyone in Vacuo? Or where Neo is?

Blake: Maybe everyone else made it?

Weiss: I don't know, but I have a bad feeling.

Glimmer: So you guys are from another world? Man, you all had it rough. If only I could've been there...

Little is fanning Ruby with a small piece of grass as Ruby regains her consciousness.

Ruby: Neo's here too.

Yang: Hey, are you alright?

Rex: Neo?

Ruby doesn't immediately answer.

Ruby: She attacked me when we were falling.

Luke: Great, we're stuck, Neo is on our ass, and we still don't know how to get the hell out of here.

Mason: If she's here, we need to be careful. If she has copy bodies like us, take her down.

Blake: (sighs) Okay. (stands up) Shane and Elena are missing. Yang's arm was stolen. I think we focus on getting everything back, then we can figure out exactly how to get out of here... Wherever here is...

Suddenly, the rain stops and rays shine on Blake. She walks towards the source of light.

Weiss: But, what if we can't leave? Or, what if--

Yang: What if we're dead? (beat) Until you all found me, I thought for sure I was.

Rin: I don't think this is heaven or hell, Yang.

Mason: What if everyone thinks we're dead?

Blake: No, I don't think we're dead. I know how it sounds, but...

Mason: What is it, Blake?

As Blake pushes away the vines a little, she looks to the giant tree in the center of the land.

Blake: (off-screen) I think we're in a fairy tale.

Peeking over the hill, the giant tree is surrounded by many other unusual environments: a red forest with a red castle, an area of creamy dessert and sweets, a forest with giant colorful mushrooms, among other things.

Rex: The Girl Who Fell From The World...
