D-RWBY: Volume. 5

Necessary Sacrifice

The episode starts off in Menagerie, morning, where Dark SSJ4, Blake, and Sun can be seen walking from the Belladonna Family Home, while holding a Scroll.

Dark SSJ4

Blake: Okay. Are you guys ready?

Dark SSJ4: Whenever you are.

Sun: I beat up on giant monsters and robots more than once, I think I can handle getting a few signatures.

Blake and Dark give a small smile at Sun.

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

Blake stands on a platform in front of a crowd of Faunus, holding her scroll up in front of her.

Blake: Your chieftain needs you! Your people need you! Please, join the fight and help us save Haven Academy!

The Faunus just stare back at Blake.

Elsewhere, Sun and Dark SSJ4 are trying to recruit a Faunus with ram horns.

Sun: Are you kidding me? We'd love to have someone with your skills on our side!

Dark SSJ4: He's right, you know.

The Faunus nervously rubs the back of his head, before his mother calls out to him.

Worried Mother: Mata! Get back inside.

Mata: Mom!

Worried Mother: You're not going anywhere!

Sun sighs in disappointment as Dark SSJ4 holds his shoulder, disappointed as well.

Dark SSJ4: Let's try find another Faunus that want to join us.

Back to Blake, she holds out her scroll to two Faunus girls asking them to sign up, but the two leave. Elsewhere, Sun hangs upside down by his tail from a tree while Dark SSJ4 on the ground, getting the attention of a couple of Faunus cutting logs and gathering wood. He gestures to his scroll, but the Faunus simply exchange confused looks with each other while Dark SSJ4 just gets ignored by some Faunus passing him. Both of them sigh until another Faunus tries to cut down the tree that Sun is hanging on. At the docks, Blake converses with an aquatic Faunus as two more swim up to her. Blake is conversing with leaves, and she turns to the two female aquatic Faunus that have just swam up, before they too swim away. Blake, unsatisfied with the lack of progress, walks up to a nearby fruit stand where Dark SSJ4 happens to be present at also while Sun continues to recruit some Faunus. The two of them share disappointed glances. After that, the two lovers are sitting at a nearby table drinking from coconut cups.

Dark SSJ4: I don't get it. How can they just sit around and do nothing with the White Fang getting ready to attack?

He said as he puts his cup down on the table, angry.

Blake: Because not everyone is like you, Sun and I. The Faunus here in Menagerie - the ones that weren't born on the island - moved here because they were tired of fighting, of having to struggle constantly. Menagerie is filled with people that just want to be left alone, (scoffs) and here we are, asking them to put the rest of the world before themselves.

Dark SSJ4: I guess I'd never really thought about it like that.

Blake: The problem is, whatever happens at Haven is going to affect them whether they like it or not. If Adam gets his way and Haven falls, it's only going to make things worse for the Faunus. Everywhere.

Dark SSJ4: Adam... He's... your ex?

Blake: Quite.

She said with a discomfort look on her face.
