Nighttime in the Origami Acre. A small origami bird is seen landing in the windowsill of Jaune's home. A tall torch in the background can be seen lighting the lantern that serves as the "sun". Light begins to illuminate the sky and turns it to day. Team RWBY, Team RD and Light can all be seen sleeping on mats in the living room, while Jaune is asleep in his own bed. Ruby's eyes are open as she stares at the chest with Crescent Rose in it. Rody is similarly staring at his hand where the tattoos once were, he glances in Ruby's direction before turning away.
Rody: ("Her mental state is getting worse too. Of course... I can't really fault her, I'm the same way...")
He sighs as he looks to the others, before he steels himself.
Rody: ("I have to stay strong... for everyone here. I swore to get these guys back home no matter the cost.")
Suddenly, a crash is heard, and Jaune bolts awake.
Rody: ...!
Jaune: I'm late!
Team RWBY, Team RD and Light wake up hearing the commotion.
Jaune: I'm late! I'm late! Rody why didn't you wake me up?!
Rody: You think I had time to memorize that absurd schedule you have?!
Jaune hops over the group as he bursts out the door. Team RWBY, RD, and Light get up and follows him out.
Weiss: What was that?!
Weiss looks over to see the town below is on fire.
Donald: A fire?!
Rody: That's disaster one.
Jaune: (petting Juniper) I overslept... I never oversleep! Yesterday, ugh! All the excitement! Keep your head together, you can fix it! You always fix it!
Jaune mounts Juniper and prepares to ride off.
Light: What is happening?!
Blake: Jaune!
Jaune: I can't wait! I'm late! Any second there's gonna be another--
Another loud explosion is heard.
Jaune: Damn it, right on time! (to the group) Get to town, I'll meet you there!
Juniper proceeds to gallop with Jaune riding.
Little: (rubbing their eyes) I'm never this upset when I oversleep...
Yang: Uh, what did he mean "right on time"?
Blake: I'm sure we'll find out when we get down there.
Donald: Do you know what's happening Rody?
Rody: You'll see soon enough. (to Ruby) Ruby, where's your weapon?
Ruby: Oh! Sorry, still waking up.
Weiss: Hurry! People are counting on us!
Ruby runs back into the house and grabs Crescent Rose out of the chest.
The Paper Town
Team RWBY, Team RD, and Light arrive in the town, taking in the sights.
Blake: Whoa...
Yang: Who makes a town out of paper?!
Donald: Someone with a sick sense of irony?
Blue Paper Pleaser: Hello.
The group turn around, startled.
Blue Paper Pleaser: Welcome to our village. We hope that it pleases you. Would you be so kind as to tell us what you are so that we may serve you?
