RWBY and Earth III: The New Frontier

Volume 9 Night

It had been an hour since Teams RWBY, JNPR, GRMA, CFDT, OBSA, and JAAR arrived back into Beacon. They had just gone over the scripts for Volume 9.

Weiss was at first finding that a world from a fairy tale was real to be crazy, but then thought back to the other fairy tales relating to the war between Ozpin and Salem, and their arrival to Earth, and just ultimately chose to not question it anymore. When she read on how Jaune was the Rusted Knight and how he had 'matured,' she was constantly reminding herself that he was with Pyrrha and didn't want to cause tension between herself and the Invisible Girl because she knows that she wouldn't like it.

Blake and Yang were both blushing nonstop upon reading that they kissed in the Volume and became an official couple. The two looked at each other for a moment before looking away again. However Yang was shocked to find out that Raven Branwen went with Summer Rose to face Salem. She now wanted to ask her about what had happened on that mission they went on.

Jaune was conflicted about his role in the Ever After. He was stunned to find out that he was the Rusted Knight in the fairy tale, The Girl Who Fell Through the World. He would spend decades in the Ever After and would suffer so much. From getting poison by the story's main character, Alyx, to preventing the Paper Pleasers from ascending by saving them. He would be all alone for most of his time in the Ever After.

Neo was mostly interested in her evolved semblance that can now create clones of not only herself, but others as well. The clones can now physically attack others and are semi-autonomous and can mimic the speech and actions of the original. However that demeanor changes when the Curious Cat ends up possessing her near the end of the Volume after she convinces Ruby to ascend. And would then ascend into the Tree herself after coming to terms with Roman's death in the show. She was now questioning if she should ascend into the Tree or not.

Roman was worried for Neo's mental state in the Volume, even more so when she got possessed by the Curious Cat. He fears that she will not be what she used to be once she's ascended.

Pyrrha, Nora, and Ren were incredibly shocked to find that Jaune had gotten older in his time in the Ever After and his reveal to be the Rusted Knight. But they were also worried for their team leader who was spending decades in the Ever After by himself without nobody, and his mental state grew to slip over time in Volume 9. They all plan on talking to him after this. When Pyrrha saw a sketch art of an older Jaune, she started to drool and had some ideas wondering on her mind.

Professor Ozpin was stunned upon learning about the Brother God's origins, and that they were born from the Great Tree and inhabit the Ever After. They would create the Curious Cat, which would do their original job for them and binding up the broken pieces of the Ever After and send them to the Tree. Then they would create the Jabberwalker which would be brutal and effective and would finish what the Cat started. This caused the two brothers to disagreed on whether it disrupted the balance or not and began to wage war on each other, eventually causing the Ever After to create a door to a "greater beyond" for the Gods, so they can leave and experiment in creating new worlds as much as they like. Ozpin was now starting to think that he should not bring the gods back when humanity was united, and now seeing the gods as hypocritical menaces that don't learn from their own mistakes because they've made those mistakes before. He also wondered how Salem would react to this, but then believed that she wouldn't be that surprised.

Glynda was having similar thoughts about the Brother Gods like Ozpin. She believes that they should not ever come back to judge humanity because it would be a repeat of history. Upon seeing the sketch art of an older Jaune, she was trying to be rid of certain thoughts on him because he was a student and she was a teacher.
