We see Amity Colosseum's mountain biome being bombarded by several explosions all around the area. Russel, daggers in hand, is running from the mayhem before spinning around, ready to face his opponents, who turns out to be the familiar face of Penny and her beret-wearing teammate. With an ever-present smile and simple arm movements, she summons six floating swords from behind her and rears them back before launching them in a ring at Russel, who barely manages to duck behind a rock to protect himself. Wasting no time, Penny does the same thing with another group of blades, homing in on the other CRDL teammate Sky until he uses his own halberd to vault over another stone for defense. The two exchange a worried look at the sight of their rocks still pierced with multiple blades, and Penny grins in combat-ready fierceness as she looks to her partner, who simply taps her watch as if hurrying Penny up. Wasting no time, Penny raises her hands like a puppetmaster and uses the near-invisible strings attached to each hilt to lift the giant rocks up in the air, with the screaming Russel and Sky still hanging on. Bringing her arms down to her sides, the stones come crashing to the ground as well, leaving Penny's opponents in the grass. Her swords come back to her pack as the buzzer rings.

Oobleck: And the victory goes to Penny and Ciel of Atlas!

Penny places one of her fists in her palm and bowing in respect to her fallen foes, still smiling.

Penny: Thank you for a wonderful time.

The two victors turn to leave the stadium as Russel feebly reaches out, only to get hit in the head by an errant stone. Watching from the stands, Ruby sees them start to walk away and excitedly gets up form her seat with the rest of her team to meet them at one of the exits. Ruby catches up and spreads her arms as she calls out.

Ruby: Penny!

Penny: Ruby!

Penny lifts up her own arms, she tackles her friend into a hug that leaves them both of them on the ground. Ruby groans in pain.

Ruby: Why...

Penny gets up energetically and gestures to the other girl.

Penny: Ruby, this is my teammate.

Ciel: Ciel Soleil.

Ciel bows formally.

Ruby raises her hand in greeting.

Ruby: Hi! I'm Ru-

Ciel: Ruby Rose. 15. Hails from Patch. Leader of Team RWBY. Status: Questionable.

Ruby stays silent for a second.

Ruby: Sooo... Penny!

She turns back to her friend.

Ruby: You two were incredible out there. How do you keep control of all those swords? It's so cool!

Ciel: Penny?

Ciel looks at her watch and gestures at it.

Ciel: I believe it is best if we move on to our next location.

Penny exchanges a look with Ruby before asking Ciel.

Penny: Could we have just a minute to talk?

In response, Ciel checks the time, then takes a step back and nods, starting the countdown.

Ruby: So is she... your friend or...

Penny: Well, in a way. She's like Blake, but if Blake was ordered to spend time with you.

Ruby: Oh. So, Weiss.

Penny: Precisely.

Ruby: Does she know about... y'know... beep boop bop, does not compute?
