The red and white rose petal scatters and the full moon is shown amid falling snow and a floating red petal.

Several more petals join the original rose petals which passes over and then dissolves them in red and black.

A figure in a red hood and flowing cloak is seen under the moon and in a snowy landscape, the cape constantly producing dozens of wind blown rose petals. And alter is seen near the edge of the cliff that the person is standing at, she turns and walks away to reveal the rose symbol on the marker and the words...

~ Summer Rose ~

"Thus Kindly I Scatter"

The red-hooded wanderer slowly walks through a snowy forest, where shadowy, beastly shapes quickly dark through, before coming to a clearly and looking around at the sight of around a dozen black-coated, red-eyed beowolves circling their prey. Three of them decided to dash forward and attack through jumping, but the figure disappears in a swish of rose petals and the creatures crash to the ground and look up.

Outlined by the moon's light, her cape swirling around her body, is Ruby Rose, who reaches behind her in slow motion, pulls out a rifle and fires a shot that blows a large part of a beowolf's head out in a burst of blood red smoke. More Beowolves start to attack as Ruby lands.

Ruby leaps over the first beast and shoots it in the back then, still in the air, blasts another one side and gets into a position where she can fire at the third dead center. She rolls back and stands, unfolding Crescent Rose into its larger...and deadlier...scythe form.

One of the braver beowolves goes forward, but Ruby merely spins, hooks its body in a curve of her blade, she smiled as the monster growls and fires the sniffer section at speed that's ever the creature's body in a shower of petals. Both halves land on the ground, continuing to bleed roses and the rest of the pack charges.

Ruby, rotating the weapon, unloads her spent bullet and drives the blade into the ground, firing from a single spot at several approaching monsters, until one swipes at her feet, narrowly missing as she jumps up with Crescent Rose and blasts back, digging it into the ground again when she sees more creatures emerging from the woods. A beowolf almost gets her with its claws but she twists out of the way, fires at the monster in front of her to make the weapon and wielder spin and kicks at the one behind her.

She twirls the scythe and cuts down beowolves from both sides, dodging another attack to hook a beast in and blast out at an approaching creature to kill both. Ruby leaps over two, goes in to dismember and cut down one and catches another's neck in her blade with her on the beast's back before pulling the trigger and beheading it while flying upwards.

Two beowolves follows, she shoots her way down and slices them up when she has to block from a wolf's swipe on the ground, which pushes her back and lets her see the large number of enemies left. Nodding, Ruby drops her previous cartridge, inserts another with a cross symbol, loads it in and blasts off at a higher speed than ever before, coming at the dumbfounded beowolves like a rocket when she converts the scythe to a sickle-shape and spins her way through the mass, cutting up down, left and right, leaving bullets, rose petals and blackened body parts flying into the air.

She disembowels them quicker and quicker, until the last one falls, she blasts into a jump and lands in a pose with her scythe hanging behind her as bullets rain from the sky.
