Jaune is seen sleeping during the night inside JNPR (Juniper)'s dormroom.
Jaune: "Waffles..."
Jaune suddenly wakes up to a call on his Scroll, with the ringtone "It's a Big Ursa!" playing.
Jaune: "Hello?"
Jaune hears noise for six seconds from Ruby's Scroll before the call ends.
Jaune: "Uh, Ruby?"
Later on, Team JNPR (Juniper) walks at dawn towards their Bullhead.
Pyrrha: "I'm sure they're fine."
Jaune: "You think?"
Nora: "Probably a butt dial..."
Ren: "Team RWBY (Ruby) and Team NAAE (Unimaginable) have always performed exceptionally in the field. We should be focusing on our own mission."
Nora: "We're gonna be deputies!"
Jaune: "I just got this feeling...I don't know."
Pyrrha: "Jaune..."
Suddenly, alarms ring out as they see the city up in smoke.
Jaune: "We're changing our mission. Everyone on board!"
As the team heads toward their Bullhead, Jaune does a headcount.
Jaune: "Ren, we'll make it to that village another time. Take us into the city!"
Teams RWBY (Ruby) and NAAE (Unimaginable) are seen surrounded in the middle of the pavilion by Beowolves, Ursai, and a massive King Taijitu. The King Taijitu unleashes a mighty roar, signaling the Grimm to attack. Ruby plants Crescent Rose on the ground before kicking away the Grimm, Yang propels herself upwards, performing aerial bombardments with Ember Celica on the Grimm before three Giant Nevermores send her crashing to the ground. Blake slashes a Beowolf with Gambol Shroud before firing on the other approaching Grimm. Weiss slashes three Beowolves, before summoning a glyph to conjure up an ice blade. Nick, now in Turbo Prime Mode, slashes several Grimm with his swords while moving around at blinding speed. Amber uses her Magic to strike several Grimm with lightning. Erza equips a new armor, called the Heaven's Wheel Armor, and slashes several Grimm with multiple swords. And Atalanta is shooting multiple Grimm with her Bow. 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 flying on Magnhild towards the King Taijitu, slamming it on the head and killing the beast.
Nora: "Nora Smash!"
Jaune, Pyrrha and Ren soon follow.
Pyrrha: "Let's move!"
As Jaune sighs, the others charge in.
Nora: "Smack!"
She bats a Creep away while Ren strikes two more. He moves on to slash at a Beowolf.
Jaune: "Okay, who's first?"
Jaune turns around to notice a giant Ursa standing behind him. Pyrrha is fighting several Grimm nearby. Impaling a Beowolf, and then a Creep before seeing the Ursa advance on Jaune. Behind him Weiss and Blake are fighting more Grimm.
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 the continued improvements of her boyfriend. A few feet from the fallen Ursa, Sun and Neptune arrive, flashing their badges.
Sun: "Nobody move! Junior detectives!"
Neptune: "We have badges so you know it's official!"
A fleet coming from the Atlesian Military, consisting of dropships deploying Atlesian Knight-200 units and the flagship of Ironwood. Sun and Neptune react in awe of the fleet as Sun drops his badge to the floor. As Teams RWBY (Ruby) and NAAE (Unimaginable) look up in the sky, an Ursa takes the opportunity to attack Ruby from behind. However, it is gunned down by a dropship's machine gun. As the robotic Knights deploy, they start gunning down the Grimm. Two of the Knights are stampeded on by a Boarbatusk, but a separate group of three Knights fire on an Ursa and another Ursa has fallen from a Knight's punch. Cinder nods her head, signaling Mercury, Emerald and Neo to attack the Grimm as she walks off to fight other Grimm. As an Ursa receives the business end of Talaria, at least half a dozen assorted Grimm stand in front of Emerald. Who draws Thief's Respite from their holsters, revealing them to be dual pistols. The Grimm pack learn this the hard way as she opens fire and all but a single Ursa fall to a barrage of Dust shots while charging at Emerald. Emerald quickly transforms her pistols into kopis blades, flipping and slashing at the rampaging Ursa to kill it. Neo As more Knights subdue Grimm, out of the opening comes Zwei, followed by Dr. Oobleck, Summer and Rossweisse in a damaged Atlesian Paladin-290. The dog jumping off to headbutt a Beowolf. An airship arrives, dropping off Team CFVY (Coffee) and Professor Port. As Yatsuhashi is surrounded by a pack of Grimm, he unlimbers Fulcrum before smashing it on the ground, unleashing a shockwave that sends them flying. Velvet and Fox respectively kick and punch the Grimm with Fox impaling a Creep. Nearby a large spiked Ursa roars before charging them. Fox intercepts it with a kick then unleashes a combo of slashes and punches with Sharp Retribution. Knocking the Grimm skyward with an uppercut, as it descends he delivers a blow to the head with both hands that sends it flying. After landing it swells up and explodes impaling the nearby Grimm with its spikes. Coco walks forward swatting a few away with her weapon. Yatsuhashi shields Velvet before the two start advancing.
Coco: (Gives Fox a light pat on the butt) "Nice hustle, Fox. Good job."
Fox jumps back as Coco approaches a large Beowolf.
Coco: "You just destroyed my favorite clothing store. (Spits) Prepare to die."
Coco, after swatting away its right hand, kicks the Beowolf in the crotch (remind not to get on her bad side). She, as it falls to the ground and looks at her, leans down and slams her bag onto its head. She effortlessly swats away three more Beowolves, then leaps back to avoid a Death Stalker's tail. Velvet steps forward, and moves a hand toward Anesidora about to open the box.
Coco: (To Velvet) "Hey, come on, you just spent all the semester building that up. Don't waste it here."
Coco then transforms her purse, Gianduja, into a giant minigun, and starts firing, slaughtering the advancing horde of Grimm, including a Death Stalker and three Nevermores. Port, Oobleck, Summer and Rossweisse regroup at the opening, nodding their heads. They fire their weapons at the approaching Grimm, while Glynda mops up the remnants and immediately closes the opening using her Semblance. Later on, everyone meets in the pavilion as Roman Torchwick is escorted by Cinder, Mercury, Emerald and Neo towards an Atlesian airship.
Roman: "Oh, I can't believe that you caught me. (to an Atlesian Knight, who grabs him by the arm) He-hey, watch the hat!"
Team CMEN (Carmen) then approach Ruby and they smile at each other. Team JNPR (Juniper) is seen exchanging smiles, Sun and Neptune bump fists, Team CFVY (Coffee) 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 RWBY (Ruby), Team NAAE (Unimaginable) 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."
Amber: "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 those mystery Kamen Riders were."
Nick: "Well, not every story has a neat and tidy ending."
Erza: "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: (lying down on her back) "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..."
Ruby: "Uhh...Time for bed?"
Yang: "Please."
Blake: "Absolutely."
Weiss: "Yes."
Amber: "I'm going to sleep forever."
Atalanta: "Agreed."
Erza: "Same here."
Team RWBY (Ruby), Team NAAE (Unimaginable) and Zwei then stand up and heads back towards Beacon's main campus. Later, we see as Vale's Government Council calls on Ozpin, who responds in his office. The headmaster aloofly stares outside his window.
Councilman 1: "Ozpin? (no response) Ozpin!"
Ozpin turns his chair towards his desk.
Ozpin: "Yes, Councilman."
A video feed of the councilmen is shown on a holographic screen with Ironwood's video feed in the corner.
Councilman 1: "You've left us no choice! The Vytal Festival tournament cannot be broadcast, let alone held, if we are unable to ensure the safety of the citizens."
Ozpin sips from his cup.
Councilman 1: "Ahem...Therefore, we have reached out to the Atlas Council and together have decided that the best action is to appoint General Ironwood as head of security for the event."
Ironwood: "Thank you, Councilman. Our Kingdom is happy to lend as many troops as it takes to ensure that the event runs smoothly and safely as possible."
Councilman 1: "And we thank you, General."
Ozpin: "Will that be all?"
Councilman 1: "For now. But after this festival comes to a close, we are going to have a serious discussion about your position at Beacon Academy. General Ironwood's reports over the last few weeks have left us somewhat...concerned. I am sure you understand."
???: "That's not going to be happening."
We then see Nick, transformed into Kamen Rider Geats MagnumBoost Form, as he reveals his presence.
Councilman 1: "The Kamen Rider?! So, your recent return is true. To what do we owe the grand honor of having the first Huntsman in this meeting?"
KR Geats: "I'm just making sure you guys in the council don't make the biggest mistake of your life."
Councilman 1: "Please explain, Kamen Rider."
KR Geats: "First off, you're planning on leaving the General in charge of security. That's your first mistake."
Ironwood: "This is the right move, Kamen Rider. I promise, I will keep our people safe, you have to trust me."
KR Geats: "That's just the thing, Iron-brain. I don't trust you. Your decisions are what allowed the Calamity to destroy both Vale and Atlas in the first place."
Hearing this makes Ozpin, Ironwood and council shocked.
Ironwood: "How are my actions what result in two of the five kingdoms being destroyed?"
KR Geats: "You let fear, and being paranoid, blind your choices. You're involvement makes bad situations worse."
Ironwood: "Look, it was decision made by the council, so I'm-"
Before he could continue, however, he was silenced...by Geats shooting his Magnum Shooter 40X, which goes right through the holographic screen.
KR Geats: "Shut...up.... I already question how YOU became a general in the first place. Including how you got your hands on TWO seats in the Atlas Council. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised that you took advantage of that to snake your way into being in charge of security. So stay out this. (to the members of the council) The people responsible for the breach had two agents sneak into the CCT, and plant a virus that would allow them access to the Atlas Military's most classified information and files. Plus, they could hijack the robot soldiers and the Vytal Festival's match-ups. The people we're dealing with...work for the Calamity. Including Roman Torchwick. I managed to destroy the virus, as well as improve the system, so we don't have to worry about it. I'll handle security, and the festival will go on as it always has, while Ironwood is not to get involved in anyway. Also, Ozpin will be keeping his position as headmaster of Beacon. Got it?"
The council members seem to be discussing this amongst each other. After a few minutes, the council members turned their attention to Geats.
Councilman 1: "Very well then, Kamen Rider. Given your own position, and how you played a major role during both the Great War and the Faunus War, you possess more authority then any of us in the council, as well as any of the members of the councils in the other kingdoms. We accept all of your requests."
KR Geats: "That's for the best, council. Also..."
Geats then switches back to Nick.
Nick: "My real name is Nick Brown. And you should also know, I've started my own little project."
Councilman 1: "Interesting. So this your true identity. And, what might this "project" of yours be, Ka- I mean...Nick Brown?"
Nick: "You can just call it..."Project Remnant Riders". I've been attending Beacon Academy as a student. The reason for why is because I've been looking for candidates for "Project Remnant Riders". I've already chosen fifteen individuals who are all perfect for the role...of becoming new Kamen Riders."
Hearing this once again makes Ozpin, Ironwood and the council all shocked, that Nick is planning to recruit new Kamen Riders, and has already chosen fifteen individuals at Beacon as candidates.
Councilman 1: "I see. And, might we ask who these candidates are?"
Nick: "That's information I'll be keeping to myself, councilman. Especially from Ironwood. The candidates are already prepared for the roles of becoming Kamen Riders. I haven't told them yet, but when the time comes, they'll be ready."
Councilman 1: "I see. Consider yourself lucky, Ozpin. It seems that Mr. Brown, here, favors you."
Nick: (chuckles) "What can I say? Ozpin reminds me of the King of Vale back during the Great War."
If any of you guys understand the reference, good job.
The faceless councilmen's video feed disappears, leaving Ironwood's video feed alone with Nick and Ozpin. They silently stare at each other for a moment.
Nick: "I take you're not happy, Iron-brain?"
Ironwood: "I don't what you're planning, Kamen Rider, but it seems even my hands are tied. And I cannot do anything against you."
Nick: "It was your ancestors who came up with that idea of banning self-expression, which led to the Great War in the first place, even after I tried to tell them it wouldn't work. You just stay out of the way. Also, I'll be needing access to full authority to Atlas Military."
Ironwood looks at Nick with anger at the mention of the Ironwood family's greatest shame...that they were responsible for the Great War taking place to begin with when they tried to ban self-expression, not thinking it could've only made the Grimm situation worse by taking away a Human/Faunus right. Ironwood hangs up the video call, as Nick leaves Ozpin's office, while Ozpin then turns his chair around to look at the large Atlesian Airship outside his window. Ironwood then walks toward a heavily guarded Roman in his holding cell, albeit without his signature hat.
Ironwood: "Leave us."
The soldiers leave Ironwood alone, so that he can talk to Roman.
Ironwood: "I've been informed that so far you've refused to co-operate with the authorities."
Roman: "I know this might be hard to believe, General, but uh...I'm not the biggest fan of local law enforcement."
Ironwood: "How about the world's strongest military power?"
Roman: "Hmm...first impressions...not great, seeing as the Kamen Rider HAS been ruining my fun for a while now lately. Wait...you weren't talking about yourself, were you? If so, then this is very awkward for you."
Ironwood: "I'm going to give you one chance. Who's really behind all this?"
Roman: "Isn't it obvious? (Ironwood leans his ear toward him to hear his answer) You're looking at him."
Ironwood: "Hm...Very well then."
Ironwood starts walking away.
Roman: "What's the matter, General? I thought you wanted to talk."
Ironwood: "The council's given me custody over you for the time being...unless the Kamen Rider says otherwise. So you can make yourself comfortable. I can be sure that you'll have plenty of time to talk."
Roman: "Oh, wonderful. Hehehe..."
The camera pans towards Roman's face as he laughs. His holding cell door closes. We later see Yang walking in the Beacon Academy courtyard towards the mysterious swordswoman, who saved her before.
Yang: "I got your message. Why are you here? I wasn't expecting to see you."
The mysterious swordswoman removes her mask, revealing herself to look very similar to Yang in appearance.
Swordswoman: (smirks) "What? Can't a woman visit her daughter when she wants to? Thought I'd come and see how you're doing."
The scene cuts back to Yang, who warmly smiles back at the woman, then cuts to black.
