RWBY: "Gallants and Guardians of Remnant"

The White Trailer

A boy wearing a medical mask to conceal his face, a black trench coat, black shirt, black pants, black combat boots, and a black katana is strapped on his hip as he frustratingly smacks the coffee vending machine.

???: "Stupid machine..."

Radio: (static) "Ozzy, there's some guy attempting to destroy a vending machine, take a quick look, Ms. Schnee can take care of herself for a while."

Ozzy: "Copy."

A boy wearing an Atlesian military uniform is seen going through the rich individuals entering a dark auditorium to the boy smacking the coffee vending machine.

Ozzy: "Excuse me."

The boy wearing the black trench coat turns around, revealing his purple eyes.

???: "Yes?"

Ozzy: "What are you doing?"

The Atlesian notices the coffee machine sparking a bit and sighs.

Ozzy: "You realized you destroyed Atlas property, right?"

???: "Oh, I'm sorry, you see, this "Atlas property" is sentient garbage, it won't even dispense canned coffee."

Ozzy: (sighs) "You will still pay management six thousand Lien for damages. And if you're visiting to hear Ms. Schnee sing, the show's about to start. (Notice weapon) Weapons are not allowed inside."

The purple-eyed boy chuckles as he adjusts his medical mask.

???: "Yeah, I got it."

Ozzy sighs and heads inside the auditorium.

---------------------------------------------------

Darkness gives way to reveal the words:

Everyone is entitled to their own sorrow, for the heart has no metrics or forms of measure. And all of it... irreplaceable.

The black closes in again just as new text appears:

Blackblur143 and AylaRWBY presents...

The same purple-eyed guy from earlier is seen watching the show, crouched from the scaffoldings near the ceilings of the auditorium.

And an amplified voice is heard saying:

Intercom: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome... Weiss Schnee!"

???: "Hm..."

A young girl in white with a barely visible scar over her left eye walks out on stage into the spotlight as a piano plays the opening of Mirror Mirror before a crowd of people, occasionally taking pictures from their stands around the white castle they appear to be in. She looks at Ozzy who has a thumbs up, she closes her eyes and begins to sing.

Weiss: (singing) "Mirror, tell me something. Tell me who's the loneliest of all..."

While she sings, the view sinks down into her scar-free reflection on the stage, the world tilting until she opens her eyes and finds herself in another place, the light and shadows shifting until a summoned white armor with an equally massive broadsword appears before her. She backflips just as the Giant Armor brings its blade down on where she was, and the song continues as her flashback takes over.

Weiss: (singing, unseen) "Mirror, tell me something. Tell me who's the loneliest of all?"

Weiss unsheathes her own rapier, Myrtenaster, and darts forward, getting a hit on her enemy before twirling into a landing. The Giant Armor swings again, but she dashes away and lands several spinning slashes on the armor. It retaliates when she uppercuts into the air, arcing its sword around and hitting Weiss' rapier, which she brings up just in time to merely knock her back. When she slows down, Weiss looks up to see the Giant Armor leaping into the air and hurling the sword down on her, then swinging it back up in an effort to get its fast-moving target. It finally hits her blade again, and she is knocked away until she rolls back on her feet.

Weiss: (unseen) "Fear of, what's inside of me. Tell me can a heart be turned to stone?"

With white energy now gathered on her fingertips, Weiss motions to the ground beneath her, and a snowflake symbol appears that propels her forward at extreme speeds. Despite the Giant Armor's attempts to slash at her, Weiss disappears and reappears all around it, leaping through the air using her glyphs and landing a blow with each pass.

After a slash to the face, the Giant Armor aims at Weiss' feet, who leaps over it and gets an undefended fist to her head. Weiss is launched yet again, but this time, her attempt to get back up is weak and unsure. A worried Weiss closes her eyes...

Ozzy: (unseen, flashback) "Weiss!"

...and in the real world, the spotlight suddenly cuts out.

The shattered moon makes itself known when the clouds in front of it pass, showering Weiss in its light as she sings, eyes still closed. In her mind, she stands back up, eyeing the Giant Armor with blood trailing down the left side of her face, and holds out her sword, spinning the revolver in the hilt until a red energy appears over the blade. The Giant Armor runs up and drops its sword on her, but it meets her rapier and is deflected by Myrtenaster.

Weiss: (singing, unseen) "Mirror, mirror, what's behind you? Save me from the things I see! I can keep it from the world. Why won't you let me hide from me?"

Weiss switches it up and spins, a cyan light now creating a wave of ice when she strikes it into the ground that freezes the Giant Armor in place. It swings again, but Weiss runs ahead and jumps on the sword. Myrtenaster is now glowing yellow, and she rolls on the broadsword and slashes at her foe, destroying the ice crystals in shards of purple but impaling its weapon into the ground. She rotates the hilt again and a snowflake circle spins under her when the Giant Armor tries to hammer its fist down on her, but she rolls out of the way and activates the glyph, launching the warrior up into the air and becoming trapped by Weiss' beams of blue energy.

Weiss: (singing, unseen) "Mirror, mirror... tell me something. Who's the loneliest of them all?"

With one final leap into the air and her real self singing the last lines of her song, Myrtenaster glows with the white markings on its blade and Weiss descends onto the Giant Armor. When her attack is done and she lands in a crouch, the black hollows of the enemy light up and crash to the ground in a shower of ice and snow behind her.

Ozzy: (unseen, flashback) "Thank Oum you're okay..."

Weiss: (singing, unseen) "I'm the loneliest of all..."

Weiss gets up and closes her eyes, finishing Mirror Mirror to a gentle shower of snowflakes and a roar of applause from her audience. She opens her eyes and looks around as if in a daze, then peers up at the slightly-scattered moon above before looking at Ozzy who's cheering for her the loudest.

She dips her head and bows to the crowd as the curtains close around her. The same purple-eyed individual chuckles and lightly claps before using black mist to get him off the scaffoldings and to the exit.

???: "Cool."
