The sounds of thunder and gunfire are heard against a black screen.
5 Months After the Fall of Beacon
A wide shot of Kuroyuri shows the empty, degraded town. A billowing cloud of dust and pieces of wood rise in the distance around the top of a tree that is barely visible above the town rooftops. Jaune Arc, Ruby Rose, Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie all fall back by the dead cherry tree. Qrow Branwen is still unconscious and propped against it.
The Nuckelavee comes into view, twitching its various body parts. It sends out a shockwave roar that causes all four teenagers to flinch. The Grimm looks at the teenagers and turns its head to look at Qrow and begins running toward him.
Jaune sheaths his sword and makes a run for Qrow. The Nuckelavee lashes out with one of its arms, able to extend it at a far reach. Jaune avoids it and gets Qrow upright, but the Nuckelavee is heading right for them.
Ren uses his Semblance to hide Jaune and Qrow from the Grimm, which stops short and looks about in confusion. Jaune stands still, staring at the Grimm.
Ren: Just get him to safety!
Jaune walks away with Qrow while the battle resumes. He sets Qrow down behind a building and narrows his eyes at the wounded man before turning to leave. Qrow grabs him by the hand, but falls unconscious before he can say anything. Jaune gives Qrow another look before rejoining the fight.
The Grimm is using its arms to grab hold of each of Jaune's teammates, but is continually distracted by the fire of the next one.
Jaune: Guys, keep moving, go in a circle!
The team follows this plan, and Ruby gets distracted when Jaune sheaths his sword after landing a strike.
Ruby: What are you doing?
She smiles when she realizes that Jaune is using his upgraded Crocea Mors to land strikes on the beast.
The fight continues and Ren ends up pinned to a building by a Nuckelavee extended arm.
Nora: Ruby!
Ruby nods, and she uses Crescent Rose to launch Nora in between Ren and the Nuckelavee's would-be fatal strike with its other hand. Magnhild is pinned to the building above Ren, with Nora dangling from it.
Ren looks up at Nora.
Nora: (pulling her skirt to hide herself) Stop looking!
Ren: (covering his eyes) Ah-ugh.
Nora grins to herself.
The Nuckelavee flings Nora around until she is knocked to the ground with her Aura depleted. Ren uses StormFlower to give himself leverage to pull the Nuckelavee hand off of him. He repeatedly goes after the creature, exhibiting reckless behavior, his eyes wild.
Jaune: Ren! Knock it off!
Ren ignores him and ends up on the ground beside Nora, separated from StormFlower and his Aura also depleted. The two partners rise together, Nora first. Ren's eyes are only on the creature, and Nora tackles him and drags him under a building.
The Nuckelavee advances, but Jaune blocks it with Crocea Mors. Ren attempts to rejoin the fight but Nora holds him back by the wrist, her head down.
Ren: Nora, let go! Nora, they're going to get hurt if we don't-
Without even looking up, Nora slaps Ren. He stops and turns to face her, and she finally lets go, putting her hands in her lap.
Nora: No. I won't let you kill yourself like this. After everything we've been through, I won't let it end.
