Team GRWBY is surrounded in the middle of the pavilion by Beowolves, Ursai, and a massive King Taijitu, Y/n stands in the center as Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang Surround him. Everyone is ready for battle.
Ruby: So...Got any plans?
Y/n: There's no tactics for this kind of fight, GRWBY! Do what you have to do to survive! We have to wait for reinforcements!
The King Taijitu unleashes a mighty roar, signaling the Grimm to attack. Ruby Rose plants Crescent Rose on the ground before kicking away the Grimm, Yang Xiao Long propels herself upwards, performing aerial bombardments with Ember Celica on the Grimm before three Giant Nevermores send her crashing to the ground. Blake Belladonna slashes a Beowolf with Gambol Shroud before firing on the other approaching Grimm. Weiss Schnee slashes three Beowolves, before summoning a glyph to conjure up an ice blade. Y/n summoning the Flames and Ice of Liberator to Subdue and burn away any Grimm attempting to attack them.
Yang, back on the ground, sends several cars flying towards the Grimm. As Ruby finishes slashing at a Grimm, she notices the King Taijitu ready for the attack, until she also sees Nora Valkyrie flying on her Magnhild hammer towards the King Taijitu, slamming it on the head and killing the beast.
Nora: Nora Smash!
Jaune, Pyrrha Nikos and Lie Ren soon follow.
Pyrrha: Let's move!
Jaune: Okay, who's first?
Jaune turns around to notice a giant Ursa standing behind him.
Jaune: Oh-oh-okay, you're first, huh? Okay, no, that's fine. Totally fine, done this before, done this before...
With a mighty scream, Jaune slashes the Ursa several times before it falls. Pyrrha smiles, as she notices his improvement. A few feet from the fallen Ursa, Sun Wukong and Neptune Vasilias arrive, flashing their badges.
Sun: Nobody move! Junior detectives!
Neptune: We have badges so you know it's official!
Y/n runs past them as he and Nora c**k back and s***h and hammer away at countless Grimm. With one if all blow they blast back with a wave of force. The smoke clears as they stand there. Nora coughs up rocks as Y/n smiles and gives her a thumbs up.
A fleet coming from the Atlesian Military, consisting of dropships deploying Atlesian Knight-200 units and the flagship of James Ironwood. Sun and Neptune react in awe of the fleet as Sun drops his badge to the floor.
Y/n: well, I told you guys what we needed! Seems like it's here!
The Airships Gun Down many Grimm as Y/n catches up with His Team.
Y/n: Alright, seems we've Got the most down. Line them up and knock them down! They fire their weapons at the approaching Grimm, while Glynda Goodwitch mops up the remnants and immediately closes the opening with the power of telekinesis. The hole has been sealed and the day saved! Thanks to Team Groovy!
Later on, everyone meets in the pavilion as Roman Torchwick is escorted by Mercury and Emerald towards an Atlesian airship.
Roman: Oh, I can't believe that you caught me, you've really taught me the error of my ways. (to an Atlesian Knight, who grabs him by the arm) He-hey, watch the hat!
Emerald and Mercury then approach Ruby and they smile at each other. Team JNPR is seen exchanging smiles, Sun and Neptune bump fists, Team CFVY likewise smile at each other, and Port and Oobleck do the same while Glynda watches from behind. The camera then points towards the orange and pink-colored sky.
Afterwards, Team GRWBY and Zwei are sitting on the edge of Beacon's landing platform, overlooking the City of Vale from across the lake.
Yang: Well, we did it.
Blake: We did it.
Weiss: If we don't get extra credit for that, I'm gonna be seriously disappointed.
Yang: Weiss, a two-headed snake literally crushed a bakery. I wouldn't count on it.
Ruby: Plus, I mean, we didn't solve everything. A lot of people were hurt, and we still don't even know why they did this, or who that mystery girl was.
Weiss: Well, not every story has a neat and tidy ending.
Blake: We might not have all the answers, but we do have a lot of dangerous people behind bars. And I think that's something we could be proud of.
Ruby: Yeah! And if anyone tries something like this again, we'll be there to stop them.
Yang: Yay, teamwork, camaraderie, good guys, go team, alright, good job... So, what now?
Weiss: I suggest training for the tournament, but I guess we have that covered at this point.
Blake: So then...
Y/n is sleeping on the side as he's lightly snoring
Ruby: Uhh... Time for bed?
Yang: I think Y/n is already on that..
Blake: Absolutely.
Weiss: Yes.
Yang: I'm going to sleep forever.
Team GRWBY and Zwei then stand up and heads back towards Beacon's main campus, Y/n snaps away as Yang pokes his face.
Vale's Government Council calls on Ozpin, who responds in his office. The headmaster aloofly stares outside his window. Wondering whats to come.
Y/n sits silently on the rooftop in his sleeping clothes. Silence as images of the Death of his best friend Artorias run through his head, a look of Sadness on his face. Until someone speaks up. Or four. The rest of Team GRWBY.
Blake: Y/n.
Y/n turns to see the rest of his team, ready for Bed, but not without Y/n.
Weiss: Something is clearly wrong.
Y/n: I'm fine, I just needed some air, okay? I'll be fine. I'm tougher than I look.
Weiss: Fine, But, were here for you.
Weiss Blake and Yang leave as Ruby walks next to him. Also looking out into the night sky.
Ruby: Something I'm on your mind...
Y/n: Yeah, its nothing to worry about, just thinking about the tournament. You?
Ruby: someone is on my mind, and I just hope he doesn't feel awkward around me. He is a my friend after all... and I care about him, and if anything was bothering him. I'd like to help him..
There's a silence, Until Y/n's hand softly grabbed Ruby's as they still look out to the stars, Ruby turning a little rose red.
Y/n: well, That person on your mind cares a lot about you. And he'll sacrifice everything to make sure you're okay...
Ruby and Y/n share thief moment. As they look out to the sky, as it all fades to Black.
