A sith dies, A huntsman rises.

Missions

In one of the dorm rooms in Atlas Academy, Team RWBY can be seen snoring in their beds, until Penny entered the room to wake them up.

Penny: Salutations!

Every member of RWBY got startled to awaken by Penny's greeting, Penny stood in the middle of the room while doing so.

Penny: Good morning, Team RWBY!

Yang: Ugh, Penny. What time is it even?

Penny: Time to be Huntresses, of course!

Penny then strikes a pose holding two fingers by her head and winking, everyone except Ruby groans while she gets up excitedly.

Jaune Arc walks into a briefing room with two coffee mugs and heads over to where Team RWBY, the Ace Operatives, and his teammates are sitting. He takes a seat and hands one of the mugs to his girlfriend, then cheerfully prepares to sip his steaming hot coffee, only to notice Marrow Amin staring and wagging his tail. Jaune frowns and hands the mug to Marrow.

Jaune: (sighs) Sure, take it.

Marrow drinks the coffee, while Jaune hangs his head.

Clover: Eyes up, Huntsmen. Time to get used to the new normal in Atlas.

Sometime later, Ruby and Qrow Branwen are riding in a truck that is being driven by an Atlesian Knight-200. Qrow has fallen asleep, so Ruby looks annoyed and elbows him awake.

Clover: Your top priority is Amity Tower. That means protecting supply runs from Grimm and bandits. And protecting the site itself.

Ruby and Weiss drop down from the sky toward a Manticore outside the Schnee Dust Company Mine #2. Weiss severs its tail, and Ruby cuts it in half. Weiss then levitates a group of Beowolves into the air to allow Ruby to more easily kill them, then turns her attention to a group of Sabyrs. Weiss forms a replica of her Arma Gigas' sword out of ice and uses a glyph to swing it, instantly slaying the Sabyrs. With the Grimm in the area killed, Ruby gives a thumbs up to three Mantas as they fly overhead.

Clover: Diverting all construction resources to Amity Tower means there are going to be gaps in Mantle's defenses against Grimm. They'll need help on the perimeter.

Nora Valkyrie follows Lie Ren along the top of Mantle's outer wall, playing with his braid. Ren hears growling below and stops to look, causing Nora to bump into him. The two of them look down at the Sabyrs approaching the wall and draw their weapons.

The Ace Ops watch in amazement as Vader casually walks toward the sea of Grimm. Activating his lightsaber, he began to dance through each failed strike, using a combination of the force and his lightsaber skills to kill the Grimm. Once the number of Grimm had significantly decreased, Vader motioned with his hand, the Grimm rising up into the air by an invisible force. Clenching his fist, the knecks of each Grimm exploded.

Inside of the abandoned Dust mine, Yang, Blake, and Marrow fight Beowolves. After they kill a few of the Grimm, Marrow turns to Blake and Yang.

Marrow: Hey, have you two ever thought about branching out a little? You always pair up, but I don't know if your styles really--

Yang's eyes turn red upon spotting another Beowolf that comes running toward her. She uses the recoil from her weapons to launch herself at it and punches it in the head. She then rapidly attaches several explosives to its abdomen and slides between its legs to get behind it. Blake tosses her sickle to Yang, who stabs it into the Beowolf's chest and fires Ember Celica to launch the Beowolf into the air. Blake tugs on her ribbon to throw the Beowolf toward two more Beowolves closer to the mine entrance, at which point Yang's explosives go off, killing all three. Marrow watches the whole event and turns back to Blake and Yang, who give him disapproving looks.
